M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those who sell their faith for disbelief will not harm God in any way; agonizing torment awaits them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

3:179

Nor was it God’s aim to leave you as you were, with no separation between the bad and the good. God would not show you [people] what is hidden; God chooses as His messengers whoever He will. So believe in God and His messengers: if you believe and stay mindful of God, you will have a great reward.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

3:180

Those who are miserly with what God has granted them out of His grace should not think that it is good for them; on the contrary, it is bad for them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

3:181

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

3:186

you are sure to be tested through your possessions and persons; you are sure to hear much that is hurtful from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with God. If you are steadfast and mindful of God, that is the best course.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
