Brotherhood

Oh you who believe! Be dutiful to Allah as you should be dutiful towards him, and die not except that you are in a state of total submission to Allah.

And hold tight together to the rope of Allah and do not be divided amongst yourselves! and remember Allah's favor upon you; for you were enemies and Allah brought your hearts together with love so that you became by his favor brethren; and you were on a brink of the pit of hell fire, but he saved you from it. Thus does Allah make his signs clear to you so that you may be guided.

Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones who will be successful!

Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For them is a dreadful penalty.

On the Day when some faces will be (lit up with) white, and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black: To those whose faces will be black, (will be said): "Did ye reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith."

But those whose faces will be (lit with) white,- they will be in (the light of) Allah's mercy: therein to dwell (for ever).

These are the signs of Allah which We recite to you with truth, and Allah does not desire any injustice to His creatures.



Al-Imran 102 - 108

24/7 Muslim

"There are among people some who serve Allah, as it were, on the verge: if good befalls them, they are, therewith, well content; but if a trial comes to them, they turn on their faces: they lose both this world and the Hereafter: that is loss for all to see!"

Al-Hajj, 11.
