THE BEAUTIFUL LIVES OF THE
PEOPLE OF PERFECTED FAITH

"Those who say, 'Our Lord is Allah,' and then follow
the straight path shall have nothing to fear or to regret.
Such people shall be the Companions of the Garden, re-
maining in it timelessly, for ever, as a reward for what
they did." (Surat al-Ahqaf, 13-14)

Muslims are those who put their faith in Allah and then follow the
straight path, showing determination in their faith.
Knowing that there is good in everything that comes from our Lord,
they always remain grateful to Him and show wholehearted submis-
sion to Him.
They are the righteous in the sight of Allah.
In return for their sincerity, Allah has promised them goodness both
in this world and beyond. He has surrounded them with His mercy.
He has been pleased with them and given His love and approval to
them. In the Qur'an, Allah gives the glad tidings of this honourable
reward:
... Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him.
He has prepared Gardens for them with rivers flowing under
them, where they shall remain in them timelessly, for ever and
ever. That is the great victory. (Surat at-Tawba, 100)
