            to happen.
               As we said before, unlike hypocrites, believers do not
            have it in their nature to argue with each other, for they
            have set their hearts only on Allah and thus cannot sepa-
            rate themselves from other believers. They undertake a
            project only after mutual consultation. If there is any disa-
            greement, they immediately remember Allah and stop talk-
            ing in order to avoid argument, and take refuge in Allah.
