every other religion, though the idolaters hate it. (Surat as-Saff: 8-9)
They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths. But
Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the
unbelievers detest it. He sent His Messenger with guidance and the
Religion of Truth to exalt it over every other religion, even though
the idolaters detest it. (Surat at-Tawba: 32-33)
Allah confirms the Truth by His words, even though the evildoers
hate it. (Surah Yunus: 82)
Those before them planned, but all planning belongs to Allah. He
knows what each soul earns, and the unbelievers will soon know
who has the Ultimate Abode. (Surat ar-Ra'd: 42)
We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong. Their
Messengers brought them the Clear Signs, but they were never
going to have faith. That is how We repay evildoers. Then We ap-
pointed you after them to be successors on the earth so We might
observe how you would act. (Surah Yunus: 13-14)
The Qur'an relates the following divine law in many of its verses:
Those who have a pure faith in Allah and do not ascribe partners to
Him will inherit the earth. Some examples are the following:
We wrote down in the Zabur, after the Reminder came: "My right-
eous servants will inherit the earth." (Surat al-Anbiya': 105)
We will leave you the land to live in after them. That is the reward of
those who fear My station and fear My threat. They asked for
Allah's victory, and every obdurate tyrant failed. (Surah Ibrahim:
14-15)
Musa said to his people: "Seek help in Allah and be steadfast. Earth
belongs to Allah. He bequeaths it to any of His servants He wills.
The successful outcome is for those who guard against evil." They
said: "We suffered harm before you came to us and after you came to
us." He said: "It may well be that your Lord is going to destroy your
enemy and make you the successors in the land so that He can see
how you behave." (Surat al-A'raf: 128-29)
Rather We hurl truth against falsehood, and it cuts right through
falsehood and causes it to vanish! Woe without end to you for what
you portray! (Surat al-Anbiya': 18)
