DEVOTED TO ALLAH

Never losing their consciousness of worshipping, they re-
main cautious and vigilant at every moment. They always
render services which are in the interests of believers and
religion. (Surat al-Mu’min: 54; Surat az-Zumar: 18)
• They strive to the utmost in the way of Allah. They
struggle with disbelievers on intellectual grounds, espe-
cially with the leaders of disbelief. They never feel frus-
trated or weak-hearted in this struggle. (Surat al-Anfal: 39;
Surat al-Hajj: 78; Surat al-Hujurat: 15; Surat at-Tawba: 12)
• They do not hesitate to speak the truth. They do not
refrain from telling the truth because of their fear of oth-
ers. They do not mind rejecters’ ridiculing and attacking
them and are fearless of human censure. (Surat al-Ma’ida:
54, 67; Surat al-A‘raf: 2)
• They resort to various methods to convey Allah’s
message and to summon people to Allah’s religion. (Surah
Nuh: 5-9)
• They do not oppress others. They are merciful and
tender-hearted. (Surat an-Nahl: 125; Surat at-Tawba 128;
Surah Hud: 75)
• They are not carried away by their anger; they are
sensible and forgiving. (Surah Al ‘Imran: 134; Surat al-
A‘raf: 199; Surat ash-Shu‘ara’: 40-43)
• They are trustworthy people. They impress people
with their strong personality and make them feel how
trustworthy they are. (Surat ad-Dukhan: 17-18; Surat at-
Takwir: 19-21; Surat al-Ma’ida: 12; Surat an-Nahl: 120)
• They are accused of being sorcerers or of being mad.
(Surat al-A‘raf: 132; Surah Yunus: 2; Surah Sad: 4; Surat al-
Hijr: 6; Surat al-Qamar: 9)
