If ye would count up the favours of Allah, never would ye be
able to number them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merci-
ful. The Holy Quran
Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to
kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice
and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admoni-
tion. The Holy Quran
Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful
preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most
gracious The Holy Quran
If any one believes in Allah, ((Allah)) guides his heart
(aright) -The Holy Quran
After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief. The Holy
Quran
O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to
fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you
swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next
to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all
that ye do. The Holy Quran
Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with
Abraham About his Lord, because Allah had granted him
power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and
death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it
is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then
cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who
(in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a
people unjust. The Holy Quran
