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)
