600 If we trust people who are not true, they are more likely to hinder than to help. But Allah is All-good as well as Allpowerful,
and all our affairs are best entrusted to His care. He is the best Guardian of all interests. Therefore we
should not trust the lip professions of Hypocrites, but trust in Allah. Nor should our confidence in Allah be shaken by
any secret plots that enemies hatch against us. We should take all human precautions against them, but having done
so, we should put our trust in Allah, Who knows the inner working of events better than any human mind can
conceive. (4.81)
5:92 - Obey Allah and obey the Apostle and beware (of evil): if ye do turn back know ye that it is
Our Apostle's duty to proclaim (the Message) in the clearest manner. 796797
796 We are asked to obey the commands of Allah (which are always reasonable), instead of following superstitions (which
are irrational), or seeking undue stimulation in intoxicants or undue advantage in gambling. To some there may be
temporary excitement or pleasure in these, but that is not the way either of prosperity or piety. (5.92)
797 Cf. v. 67. Both the worldly and the spiritual aspects of loss are pointed out. Can Allah's Message do more? (5.92)
8:20 - O ye who believe! obey Allah and his apostle and turn not away from him when ye hear (him
speak).
8:46 - And obey Allah and His apostle; and fall into no disputes lest ye lose heart and your power
depart; and be patient and persevering: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere. 1215
1215 A fine description of the Muslim virtues which make for success and whose loss brings about humiliation and failure.
"Power": literally, "wind",-the favourable wind for a sailing ship. (8.46)
14:12 - "No reason have we why we should not put our trust on Allah. Indeed He has guided us to
the Ways we (follow). We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us: for
those who put their trust should put their trust on Allah."
18:28 -; nor obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us one who
follows his own desires whose case has gone beyond all bounds. 23692370
2370 For those who stray from Allah's path, Allah's Grace is ever anxious: it seeks to reclaim them and bring them back to
the path. If such a one resists, and follows his own lusts, a point is reached when his case becomes hopeless. Allah's
Grace does not then reach him, and he is abandoned to his pride and insolence. Beware of following the example or
advice of such a one or seeking his society, or hankering after his wretched idols. (18.28)
24:51 - The answer of the Believers when summoned to Allah and His Apostle in order that He may
judge between them is no other than this: they say "We hear and we obey": it is such as these
that will attain felicity. 30273028
3027 Cf. ii. 285. Contrast with it the attitude of the Unbelievers or Hypocrites, who say aloud, "we hear", but intend in their
hearts to disobey (ii. 93). (24.51)
3028 True happiness, whether here or in the Hereafter, is not to be attained by fraud or duplicity: it is the privilege of those
who listen attentively to good counsel and carry it out in their lives. (24.51)
47:33 - O ye who believe! obey Allah and obey the Apostle and make not vain your deeds!
64:11 - No kind of calamity can occur except by the leave of Allah: and if anyone believes in Allah
(Allah) guides his heart (aright): for Allah knows all things. 5492
5492 What we consider calamities may be blessings in disguise. Pain in the body is often a signal of something wrong,
which we can cure by remedial measures. So in the moral and spiritual world, we should in all circumstances hold
firmly to the faith that nothing happens without Allah's knowledge and leave; and therefore there must be some justice
and wisdom according to His great universal Plan. Our duty is to find out our own shortcomings and remedy them. If
we try to do so in all sincerity of heart, Allah will give us guidance. (64.11)
