So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: For ye must gain
mastery if ye are true in Faith (Aal-e-Imran - 3:139)

“...Say: „Are those equal, those who know and those

understanding that receive admonition.”
(Qur‟an, 39:9)

and none but men of understanding mind.”

O ye Children of Adam! whenever there come to you
apostles from amongst you, rehearsing My signs unto
you,- those who are righteous and mend (their lives),on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.(7:35 )

He said:
"I have been appointed as ruler over you although I
am not the best among you. I have never sought this
position nor has there ever been a desire in my heart
to have this in preference to anyone else... If I do
right, you must help and obey me; if I go astray, set
me aright... Obey me so long as I obey Allah and His
Messenger. If I disobey them, then you have no
obligation to follow me"

position nor has there ever been a desire in my heart
to have this in preference to anyone else... If I do

me aright... Obey me so long as I obey Allah and His
Messenger. If I disobey them, then you have no
obligation to follow me"
34. 7. Justice and Compassion
O you who believe! Be upright for Allah, bearers of
witness with justice, and let not hatred of a people
incite you not to act equitably; act equitably, that is
nearer to piety, and he careful of (your duty to) Allah;
surely Allah is Aware of what you do.
(5:08)
37. 8. Patience and Endurance
O you who believe! be patient and excel in patience
and remain steadfast, and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah, that you may be successful.

38. 9. Commitment
It is reported that Abu Bakr Siddiq took a small portion
from the Bait al-Mal (Treasury) for his family's upkeep
because he had to give up his own business when he
became the khalifah. On his deathbed, he instructed
his family to return to the Bait al-Mal whatever was left
of his possessions.
41. And for us I would like to mention a hadith:
The Prophet (PBUH) said:
"Allah does not punish the individuals for the sins of the
community until they see the evil spreading among
themselves, and while they have the power to stop it,
do not do so." (Ahmad)
