We believe that whatever good or bad happens to us, is from Allah as a test and we must remain steadfast under all trying conditions, no matter how distressed we may be, and exhibit a very high degree of faith in Allah. Here let us mention a verse from Qur'an which is the last verse of Surah 9. At Tauba with the same theme:
فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَقُلۡ حَسۡبِیَ اللّٰہُ ۫٭ۖ لَاۤ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا ہُوَ ؕ عَلَیۡہِ تَوَکَّلۡتُ وَ ہُوَ رَبُّ الۡعَرۡشِ الۡعَظِیۡمِ
But if they turn away Say: "Allah sufficeth me: There is no god but He: On Him is my trust - He the Lord of the Throne (Of Glory) Supreme!
In this one verse, the firm and true faith is exhibited, which has always been the hallmark of all Divine religions and all revered prophets of Allah exhibited the same faith. There are numerous verses in Qur'an which allow all believers to cement their faith in One True God, the Omnipotent without any associates.
We have already shared a number of verses from Qur'an on Faith in Allah. Herein under we have combined all these posts to serve as a ready reckoner:
- Allah listens to the caller when he calls Him (Surah 2. Al-Baqara:186)
- Allah is the Guardian of those who believe, He brings them out of every darkness into light (Surah 2. Al-Baqara:257)
- Do not fear none but Allah - if you truly believe (Surah 3. Surah 3. Al-i'Imran: 175)
- Who are those whose eyes overflow with tears (Surah 5. Al Maida : 83)
- Believers! Take heed of yourself, if you are rightly guided - the error of he who strays will not harm you (Surah 5 Al Maidah (The Table Spread):105)

- Put your trust in the Ever Living One Who dies not (Surah 25. Al-Furqan:58)
- Do believers think they would be let go merely by saying: “We believe,” and that they will not be tested? (Surah 29. Al-Ankabut:2)
- Farther strayed is he who calls upon others than Allah that cannot even answer his call (Surah 46. Al-Ahqaf:5)

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
