LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

benefit them. They will have Gardens with rivers flowing under
them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. God is
pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is the
Great Victory.’ (Surat al-Ma’idah, 119)

Those who believe and migrate and strive in the Way of God
with their wealth and themselves have a higher rank with God.
They are the ones who are victorious. (Surat at-Tawba, 20)
Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We
will give them a good life and We will recompense them accord-
ing to the best of what they did. (Surat an-Nahl, 97)

The forerunners–the first of the Migrants (Muhajirun) and the
Supporters (Ansar)–and those who have followed them in
doing good: God is pleased with them and they are pleased with
Him. He has prepared Gardens for them with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. That
is the great victory. (Surat at-Tawba, 100)
God has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth
in return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of God and they

kill and are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah,
the Gospel and the Qur’an and who is truer to his contract than
God? Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. That is the
great victory. (Surat at-Tawba, 111)
As for those who are glad, they will be in the Garden, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever, as long as the heavens and earth endure,

except as your Lord wills: an uninterrupted gift. (Surah Hud, 108)
All who obey God and His Messenger and have awe of God and
fear of Him, they are the ones who are victorious. (Surat an-
Nur, 52)
