As for those who say, ‘Our Lord is God,’ and take the straight path towards Him, the angels come down to them and say, ‘Have no fear or grief, but rejoice in the good news of Paradise, which you have been promised.

We are your allies in this world and in the world to come, where you will have everything you desire and ask for

as a welcoming gift from the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful One.’

Who speaks better than someone who calls people to God, does what is right, and says, ‘I am one of those devoted to God’?

Good and evil cannot be equal. [Prophet], repel evil with what is better and your enemy will become as close as an old and valued friend,

but only those who are steadfast in patience, only those who are blessed with great righteousness, will attain to such goodness.

If a prompting from Satan should stir you, seek refuge with God: He is the All Hearing and the All Knowing.

The night, the day, the sun, the moon, are only a few of His signs. Do not bow down in worship to the sun or the moon, but bow down to God who created them, if it is truly Him that you worship.

If the disbelievers are too arrogant, [remember, Prophet, that] those who are with your Lord glorify Him tirelessly night and day.
