LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN


             Therefore wait patiently for the judgement of your Lord. Do not obey
             any evildoer or thankless man among them. (Surat al-Insan, 24)
             Curse man for his ingratitude! (Surah Abasa, 17)

             What is the matter with them that they have no faith and, when the
             Qur’an is recited to them, do not prostrate? But on the contrary the
             Uunbelievers reject. (Surat al-Inshiqaq, 20-22)
             Truly man i ungrateful to his Lord. (Surat al-`Adiyat, 6)


             OVERCOMING ANGER IN THE FACE OF HARDSHIP
             (Believers are) those who give in times of both ease and hardship,
             those who control their rage and pardon other people–God loves

             the good-doers…(Surah Al ‘Imran, 134)
             And Dhu’n-Nun when he left in anger and thought We would not
             punish him. He called out in the pitch darkness: ‘There is no god but
             You! Glory be to You! Truly I have been one of the wrongdoers.’
             (Surat al-Anbiya’, 87)
             Anyone who thinks that God will not help him in this world and the
             hereafter should stretch a rope up to the ceiling and then cut (it) off.

             Let him see whether his stratagem gets rid of what enrages him!
             (Surat al-Hajj, 15)
             Those who disbelieve filled their hearts with fanatical rage–the
             fanatical rage of the Time of Ignorance–and God sent down serenity
             to His Messenger and to the believers, and bound them to the
             expression of heedfulness which they had most right to and were
             most entitled to. God has knowledge of all things. (Surat al-Fath, 26)


             REFRAINING FROM BEING AGGRESSIVE
             AND SKEPTICAL
