In the Name of Allah,
                              The All-Merciful and Most Merciful




                      according to the religion that He has chosen for hu-
                   manity (Islam), and have hope as regards the Hereafter. In

                 this world, Allah either rewards them with His assistance and
                 generosity or can test them through distress and hardship.
                      Believers see the good in this and always put their trust in
                 Allah, knowing that He will reward the Muslims because of
                 their goodness in the Hereafter, out of His endless generosity:

                      Will the reward for doing good be anything other than
                      good? (Surat ar-Rahman, 60)
                      What will those who invent lies against Allah think on the
                      Day of Rising? Allah shows favor to humanity, but most of

                      them are not thankful. (Surah Yunus, 60)
                      Nor will they give away any amount, whether large or
                      small. Nor will they cross any valley without it being writ-

                      ten down for them, so that Allah can recompense them for
                      the best of what they did. (Surat at-Tawba, 121)
                      The metaphor of those who spend their wealth in His Way
                      is that of a grain that produces seven ears; in every ear there
                      are a hundred grains. Allah gives such a multiplied increase
                      to whoever He wills. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-

                      Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara, 261)
                      Satan promises you poverty and commands you to greed.
                      Allah promises you forgiveness and abundance. Allah is

                                 All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-
                                      Baqara, 268)
