LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

sonable of them will say, “You stayed no more than a day.” (Surah
Ta Ha, 103-104)
On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had only lingered for

the evening or the morning of a single day. (Surat an-Nazi’at, 46)
So be steadfast as the Messengers with firm resolve were also stead-
fast. And do not seek to hasten it for them. On the Day they see
what they were promised, it will be as if they had only tarried for
just one hour of a single day…(Surat al-Ahqaf, 35)
They will shout out in it, ‘Our Lord! Take us out! We will act rightly,

differently from the way we used to act!’ Did We not let you live
long enough for anyone who was going to pay heed to pay heed?
And did not the warner come to you? Taste it then! There is no
helper for the wrongdoers. (Surah Fatir, 37)

KEEPING IN MIND THAT GOD IS THE ONE WHO
DELIVERS US FROM EVERY HARDSHIP AND
RELIEVES US OF EVERY TROUBLE

Say: ‘Who rescues you from the darkness of the land and sea? You
call on Him humbly and secretly: “If you rescue us from this, we
will truly be among the thankful.” Say: ‘God rescues you from it,
and from every plight. Then you associate others with Him. (Surat
al-An’am, 63-64)
He Who responds to the oppressed when they call on Him and
removes their distress, and has appointed you as inheritors of the
earth. Is there another god besides God? How little you pay heed!
(Surat an-Naml, 62)

When harm occurs to you at sea, those you call on vanish–except
for Him alone! But when He delivers you to dry land, you turn
away. Man truly is ungrateful. (Surat al-Isra’, 67)
