LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN


             advancing in massed ranks into battle, do not turn your backs on
             them. (Surat al-Anfal, 15)
             Those who believe in God and the Last Day do not ask you to

             excuse them from striving with their wealth and themselves. God
             knows the people who guard against evil. (Surat at-Tawba, 44)
             Will you not fight a people who have broken their oaths and
             resolved to expel the Messenger, and who initiated hostilities against
             you in the first place? Is it them you fear? God has more right to
             your fear if you are believers. (Surat at-Tawba, 13)

             When the believers saw the Confederates they said: ‘This is what
             God and His Messenger promised us. God and His Messenger told
             us the truth.’ It only increased them in faith and in submission.
             (Surat al-Ahzab, 22)
             So be steadfast. God’s promise is true. Do not let those who have
             no certainty make you impatient and shake your firmness. (Surat
             ar-Rum, 60)


             NOT GIVING INTO PANIC AND WORRY IN THE FACE
             OF TROUBLES
             We revealed to Musa, ‘Travel with My servants by night. Strike a dry
             path for them through the sea. Have no fear of being overtaken and
             do not be afraid.’ (Surah Ta Ha, 77)

             God’s promise is true. Do not let those who have no certainty make
             you impatient and shake your firmness. (Surat ar-Rum, 60)
             (God said to Musa,) ‘Put your hand inside your shirt front. It will
             emerge pure white yet quite unharmed. And hug your arms to your
             sides to still your fear. (Surat al-Qasas, 32)
