And if they had believed and guarded themselves (against evil), reward from Allah would certainly have been better; had they but known (this).

And could you see when they shall become terrified, but (then) there shall be no escape and they shall be seized upon from a near place / And they shall say: We believe in it. And how shall the attaining (of faith) be possible to them from a distant place? / And they disbelieved in it before, and they utter conjectures with regard to the unseen from a distant place.

And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppressions, and there prevail justice and Faith in Allah; but if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression

And (as for) those who follow the right direction, He increases them in guidance and gives them their guarding (against evil).

And He it is Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy; and We send down pure water from the cloud, / That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.

And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten? / Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation / He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire).

And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and obey the Apostle, so that mercy may be shown to you. (The Light 24.56)

And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage: they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path, / That they may witness advantages for them and mention the name of Allah during stated days over what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds, then eat of them and feed the distressed one, the needy.

Their apostles said: Is there doubt about Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? He invites you to forgive you your faults and to respite you till an appointed term. They said: You are nothing but mortals like us; you wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship; bring us therefore some clear authority.

The life of this world is only idle sport and play, and if you believe and guard (against evil) He will give you your rewards, and will not ask of you your possessions.
