Conclusion
From now on, the only thing believers must do is observe des-
tiny unfold and adopt the moral character of devout Muslims, as re-
vealed in the Qur'an. The Qur'an described the state of those who
always remain faithful to Allah and show patience and determina-
tion as they advance toward the life to come, as follows:
Many a Prophet has fought when there were many thou-
sands with him! They did not give up in the face of what as-
sailed them in the Way of Allah, nor did they weaken or
yield. Allah loves the steadfast. All they said was: "Our Lord,
forgive us our wrong actions and any excesses that we went
to in what we did. Make our feet firm, and help us against
these unbelieving people." So Allah gave them the reward of
this world and the best reward of the Hereafter. Allah loves
good-doers. (Surah Al `Imran, 146-48)
