shows us how to be content with the
flawed blessings found in this world and
insinuates that we will benefit by being
contented with these blessings for a few
decades. But it is necessary for us to act
contrary to Shaytan’s insinuations, and to
persevere in sincerity and keep in mind that
both the Fire and the Garden are very near.
All sincere Muslims trust in the endless

mercy, and in the limitless intelligence and
power of Allah. We trust that He loves us,
protects us, desires our good in this world
and the next, and wants a good and hon-
ourable life for us in this world and the Garden
in the world to come. Therefore, we must nev-
er forget this joyous blessing, and we must
spread the glad tidings among ourselves of this
blessing soon to come. In the Qur’an, Allah com-
mands believers to share this good news:

Allah has bought from the muminun their
selves and their wealth in return for the
Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and
they kill and are killed. It is a promise bind-
ing on Him in the Torah, the Injil and the
Qur’an. And who is truer to his contract than
Allah? Rejoice then in the bargain you have
made. That is the great victory. (Surat at-
Tawba: 111)
