Page 127 - Self-Sacrifice in the Qur'an's Moral Teachings
P. 127
Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar
The result that Allah has determined will come to pass. Those
who help in this, with His permission, will be rewarded for their efforts
in His Presence in the Hereafter. Those who avoid self-sacrifice, on the
other hand, will be losers themselves, for they will have missed forever
the opportunities and possibilities of earning the rewards that flow
from sacrificing their interests.
Allah always helps those who sincerely desire to live this superior
moral life and will give them success:
As for those who make Allah their friend, and His messenger
and those who believe, it is the party of Allah who are victori-
ous. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 56)
Allah has written: "I will be victorious, I and My messengers."
Allah is Most Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Mujadala: 21)
… Help comes from no one but Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise,
and so that He might cut off a group of those who do not believe
or crush them and they might be turned back in defeat. (Surah
Al 'Imran: 126-27)
In the pages that follow, we will look at some very good examples
from the lives of our Prophet (saas) and his Companions, as well as at
the self-sacrificial acts of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. We will see how
great success can be attained and difficulties overcome by acting in
unity and solidarity and with self-sacrifice.
