20. Let's evaluate our selves
Am I sure? Yes No mostly
to some
extent
I grieve for the misguidedness of the people.
I am convinced that Allah is the only one who can
cure me of my illness
I hope that due to perseverance in religion, Allah will
guide me in the face of difficulties.
I connect people to Allah SWT through the Qur'an
I want to connect people to Allah SWT instead of
myself

23. So pass a clear judgement
between me and them and rescue
me and the believers with me."
