NEVER TO DOUBT  RESURRECTION
           Mankind! if you are in any doubt about the Rising, know that We
           created you from dust then from a drop of sperm then from an
           alaq (embryo) then from a lump of flesh, formed yet unformed, so
           We may make things clear to you. We make whatever We want
           stay in the womb until a specified time and then We bring you
           out as children so that you can reach your full maturity. Some of
           you die and some of you revert to the lowest form of life so that,
           after having knowledge, they then know nothing at all. And you
           see the earth dead and barren; then when We send down water
           onto it it quivers and swells and sprouts with luxuriant plants of
           every kind. (Qur'an, 22:5)

           TO REMEMBER THE HEREAFTER
           AND LONG FOR IT
           You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all
           who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah
           much. (Qur'an, 33:21)
           We purified their sincerity through sincere remembrance of the
           Abode (of the hereafter). (Qur'an, 38:46)

           TO SEEK NO WAY OTHER THAN ISLAM
           The religion with Allah is Islam. Those given the Book only
           differed after knowledge had come to them, envying one another.
           As for those who reject Allah's Signs, Allah is swift at reckoning.
           (Qur'an, 3:19)
           If anyone desires anything other than Islam as a religion, it will not
           be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he will be among the
           losers. (Qur'an, 3:85)
           You who believe! Have fear of Allah the way He should be feared
           and do not die except as Muslims. (Qur'an, 3:102)
           You who believe! Enter Islam totally. Do not follow in the footsteps
           of satan. He is an outright enemy to you. (Qur'an, 2:208)
