16:18 - If ye would count up the favors of Allah never would ye be able to number them: for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 2042
2042 Of all Allah's favours innumerable, His Mercy and Forgiveness in the spiritual plane is the greatest, and of eternal
value to us in our future Lives. (16.18)
57:23 - In order that ye may not despair over matters that pass you by nor exult over favors
bestowed upon you. For Allah loveth not any vainglorious boaster 5310
5310 In the external world, what people may consider misfortune or good fortune may both turn out to be illusory,-in
Kipling's words, "both imposters just the same". The righteous man does not grumble if some one else has
possessions, nor exult if he has them. He does not covet and he does not boast. If he has any advantages, he shares
them with other people, as he considers them not due to his own merits, but as gifts of Allah. (57.23)
41:51 - When We bestow favors on man he turns away and gets himself remote on his side
(instead of coming to Us); and when Evil seizes him (he comes) full of prolonged prayer!

4523 The last verse and note dealt with men's distortion of the values of life. Here we come to men's ingratitude and
hypocrisy. If they receive good, they go farther away from Allah, instead of coming nearer to him. If they suffer ill, they
call on Allah and offer prolonged prayers, but it is not sincere devotion and therefore worthless. (41.51)
4524 Cf. xvii. 83. A) An argument is now addressed, of a most searching nature. Examine your own souls. See if you do not
really find something unusual in Allah's Revelation! If you do, and yet you reject it, what a terrible responsibility fastens
itself on you? Could anything be more foolish or more misguided than to reject a Message which is transforming the
whole world? B) 'If you resist the convictions of the whole world, you are only forming a Cave or a narrow obscure sect
or schism, which serves no purpose, and is unfit to live in the broad light of Universal Religion.' Cf. ii. 176, n. 176. C)
Allah's Truth always spreads, in its own good time, across to the uttermost ends of the earth, as it did in the case of
Islam. But its intensive spread in the hearts and souls of people is even more remarkable than its extensive spread
over large areas. Men like the four Companions of the Prophet-and many more-became leaders of men and arbiters
of the world's fate. Madinah from being a focus of jarring tribes and factions that hated each other, became theseat of
heroic actions and plans and the nursery of great and noble heroic deeds that resounded throughout the world. It
makes no difference what men may say or do. Allah's Truth must prevail, and He knows who obstruct and who help.

Hadith Qudsi
Hadith Qudsi 6
The first of people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who died a martyr.
He will be brought and Allah will make known to him His favours and he will recognize them.
