LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

Those are the people who are true. They are the people who guard
against evil. (Surat al-Baqarah, 177)
Those who produce a good action will receive ten like it. But those

who produce a bad action will only be repaid with its equivalent and
they will not be wronged. (Surat al-An’am, 160)
And there are others who say, ‘Our Lord, give us good in this world,
and good in the hereafter, and safeguard us from the punishment
of the Fire.’ They will have a good share from what they have
earned. God is swift at reckoning. (Surat al-Baqarah, 201-202)

Those who did good and guarded against evil among those who
responded to God and the Messenger after the wound had been
inflicted will have an immense reward. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 172)
God does not wrong anyone by so much as the smallest speck. And
if there is a good deed God will multiply it and pay out an
immense reward direct from Him. (Surat an-Nisa’, 40)
There is no good in much of their secret talk, except in the case of
those who enjoin charity, or what is right, or putting things right

between people. If anyone does that, seeking the pleasure of God,
We will give him an immense reward. (Surat an-Nisa’,114)
…But people are prone to selfish greed. If you do good and guard
against evil, God is aware of what you do. (Surat an-Nisa’, 128)
…They distort the true meaning of words and have forgotten a good
portion of what they were reminded of. You will never cease to come

upon some act of treachery on their part, except for a few of them.
Yet pardon them, and overlook. God loves good-doers. (Surat al-
Ma’idah, 13)
Those who believe and do right actions are not to blame for any-
thing they have eaten provided they guard against evil and have faith
