Translation: " So stand (ask Allah to make) you (Muhammad) (firm and straight on the religion of Islamic Monotheism) as you are commanded and those (your companions) who turn in repentance (unto Allah) with you, and transgress not (Allah's Legal Limits). Verily, He is the All-Seer of what you do. * " (11: 112) And required to exert our efforts to earn our living.

Therein you shall have (all) that your inner selves desire, and therein you shall have (all) that you ask for. * (this is) mercy from (Allah), the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. * " (41: 30-32) And
Translation: " Verily, those who say: ' Our Lord is (only) Allah, ' and thereafter they adhered to uprightness (i.e. stood firm and straight on the Islamic Faith of Monotheism by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allah has forbidden and by performing all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained), on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. * Such shall be the dwellers of Paradise, abiding therein (forever) a reward for what they used to do. * " " (46: 1314)
