would await him both in this world and the hereafter. The
truth is, only those seeking ways to come close to Allah may
feel secure in the hope of attaining the eternal life of Paradise
and of leading a peaceful and comfortable life in this world.

souls. What makes them so strong and resolute is their pro-

found faith in Allah and their sincere devotion to the religion
sent by Him.
