Attributes of Believers

There was a group of My servants who used to say, ‘Our Lord, we believe, so forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the best of the merciful.’

Except those upon whom Allah has mercy.

Among us are the righteous, and others less so, we follow many different paths.

His mercy is near to those who do good.

But the righteous will be among gardens and springs

Receiving what their Lord has granted them.

We realized we could never escape Allah on earth, nor flee from Him by running.

When we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Whoever believes in their Lord need not fear loss or injustice.

But those who bring the truth and believe in it, these are the righteous.

They will have whatever they desire with their Lord. This is the reward for those who do good.

Surely, Allah is with those who do good.

They used to sleep little at night

And in the early dawns, they sought forgiveness.

And in their wealth was a share for the beggar and the deprived.

On the earth are signs for those with certainty

And within yourselves, do you not see?

And in the sky is your provision and what you are promised.

Whoever has done an atom’s weight of good will see it

But if you act rightly and remain mindful of Allah, He is fully aware of your deeds.

Those who recite Allah’s Book, establish prayer, and give from what We’ve provided them, secretly and openly, can hope for a trade that will never fail.

So that Allah may remove their worst deeds and reward them according to the best of what they did.

He will give them their full reward and increase them from His bounty.

They were doers of good before this.

But those who tremble in awe of their Lord

Who believe in His signs

Who do not associate others with their Lord

And who gives what they give with hearts fearful, knowing they will return to their Lord

We do not burden any soul beyond its capacity. And with Us is a record that speaks the truth; they will not be wronged.

But their hearts are heedless of this, and their deeds are different from what is right. They continue in their excesses.

Pure women are for pure men, and pure men for pure women. They are innocent of what is said about them

Believers, when you hold secret meetings, do not whisper about sin, hostility, and defiance of the Messenger. Instead, speak of righteousness and mindfulness of Allah.

Say, "O My servants who believe, be mindful of your Lord. For those who do good in this world, there is goodness.

And reward the doers of good with the best.

And when the righteous are asked, “What has your Lord sent down?” They say, “Goodness.” For those who do good in this world, there is goodness, and the home of the Hereafter is even better. How splendid is the home of the righteous!

O believers, fear Allah and speak befitting words.

You who believe, be mindful of Allah, and let every soul consider what it has sent ahead for tomorrow.

They establish prayer and spend from what We have provided them.

These are the true believers; they will have high ranks with their Lord and forgiveness.

Believers, when you seek private counsel with the Messenger, offer charity before speaking with him. This is better and purer for you. But if you lack the means, Allah is forgiving and merciful.

Are you reluctant to offer charity before your private counsel? If you do not, and Allah forgives you, then establish prayer, give charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger.

The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk humbly upon the earth, and when the ignorant address them harshly, they respond with peace.

O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to what gives you life. Know that Allah stands between a person and their heart.

Avoid major sins and shameful deeds, and forgive when angered.

So, turn away from them and say, “Peace.” They will soon come to know.

You who believe, why do you say what you do not do?

It is deeply detested in Allah’s sight that you say what you do not do.

There is little good in their secret talks, except for those who encourage charity, kindness, or reconciliation. Whoever does this seeking Allah’s pleasure, We will grant them a great reward.

believers, when you hold secret meetings, do not whisper about sin, hostility, and defiance of the Messenger. Instead, speak of righteousness and mindfulness of Allah.

“O my people, do not let your opposition to me lead you to suffer what befell Noah’s people, or Hud’s people, or Salih’s people. The people of Lot were not far from you.”

corruption on the earth after it has been set right.

He sends the Spirit by His command to whomever He wills among His servants, to warn of the Day of Meeting.

Whoever sins does so against their own soul.

But whoever earns a sin and falsely blames another has burdened themselves with slander and clear wrongdoing.

Those who avoid major sins and shameful acts, except for small slips, Your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He knows you well, from when He created you from the earth, and when you were hidden in your mothers’ wombs.

Whatever you have been given is merely the enjoyment of this worldly life, but what is with Allah is far better and everlasting, for those who believe, trust in their Lord

What is with Allah is far better for the righteous.

“We are your allies in this life and the Hereafter. In it, you will have whatever your souls desire, and whatever you ask for.”

“A welcoming gift from the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”

Those who plead, “Our Lord, turn away from us the torment of Hell, its punishment is relentless.
