9:101 - Certain of the desert Arabs round about you are hypocrites as well as (desert Arabs) among
the Medina folk: they are obstinate in hypocrisy: thou knowest them not: We know them: twice
shall We punish them and in addition shall they be sent to a grievous penalty. 13501351
48:11 - The desert Arabs who lagged behind will say to thee: "We were engaged in (looking after)
our flocks and herds and our families; do thou then ask forgiveness for us." They say with their
tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: "Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your
behalf with Allah if His will is to give you some loss or to give you some profit? but Allah is well
acquainted with all that ye do. 487848794880
48:16 - Say to the desert Arabs who lagged behind: "Ye shall be summoned (to fight) against a
people given to vehement war: then shall ye fight or they shall submit. Then if ye show
obedience Allah will grant you a goodly reward but if ye turn back as ye did before He will
punish you with a grievous Penalty." 488748884890
49:14 - The desert Arabs say "We believe." Say "Ye have no faith; but ye (only) say `We have
submitted our wills to Allah.' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey Allah
and His Apostle He will not belittle aught of your deeds: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most
Merciful." 49344935
DESPAIR:
3:139 - So lose not heart nor fall into despair: for ye must gain mastery if ye are true in faith.
3:146 - How many of the Prophets fought (in Allah's way) and with them (fought) large bands of
godly men? But they never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah's way nor did they
weaken (in will) nor give in. And Allah loves those who are firm and steadfast.
6:44 - But when they forget the warning they had received We opened to them the gates of all
(good) things until in the midst of their enjoyment of Our gifts on a sudden We called them to
account when lo! they were plunged in despair! 862
862 Learning the inner truth of ourselves and the world presupposes a certain advanced stage of sensitiveness and
spiritual development. There is a shallower stage, at which prosperity and the good things of life may teach us
sympathy and goodness and cheerfulness like that of Mr. Cheeribyles in Dickens. In such cases the Message takes
root. But there is another type of character which is puffed up in prosperity. For them prosperity is a trial or even a
punishment from the higher point of view. They go deeper and deeper into sin, until they are pulled up of a sudden,
and then instead of being contrite they merely become desperate. (6.44)
11:9 - If We give man a taste of mercy from Ourselves and then withdraw it from him behold! he is
in despair and (falls into) blasphemy. 1506
1506 He does not realise that some kinds of chastening are good for discipline and the training of our spiritual faculties.
(11.9)
12:87 - "O my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother and never give up hope of
Allah's Soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy except those who
have no faith." 17621763
15:55 - They said: "We give thee glad tidings in truth: be not then in despair!"
17:83 - Yet when We bestow Our favors on man he turns away and becomes remote on his side
(instead of coming to Us) and when Evil seizes him he gives himself up to despair! 2283
2283 Truth saves us from two extremes: when we are happy, we are saved from being puffed up, for we realise that
everything comes from Allah; and when we suffer misfortunes, we are not in despair, for we know that Allah is our
sure refuge and help. (17.83)
23:77 - Until We open on them a gate leading to a severe Punishment: then Lo! they will be
plunged in despair therein! 2923
