23:57 Surely, those who are reverently conscious of their Lord,
23:58 And who believe in the revelations of their Lord,
23:59 And who never set up any idols beside their Lord,
23:60 As they give their charities, their hearts are fully reverent. For they recognize that they will be summoned before their Lord,
23:61 They are eager to do righteous works; they compete in doing them.
Are there such things as bad provisions that come from God?
Humans can turn a good provision into something bad e.g. property, children, money, etc.
3:180 Let not those who withhold and hoard GOD’s provisions think that this is good for them; it is bad for them. For they will carry their hoardings around their necks on the Day of Resurrection. GOD is the ultimate inheritor of the heavens and the earth. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
16:67 And from the fruits of date palms and grapes you produce intoxicants, as well as good provisions. This should be (sufficient) proof for people who understand.
What is the threshold that keeps believers together verse tearing us apart into factions?
Unity of All Submitters
2:62 Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
Minimum Requirements For Salvation
5:69 Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the converts, and the Christians; any of them who (1) believe in GOD and (2) believe in the Last Day, and (3) lead a righteous life, have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
One God / One Religion
21:92 Your congregation is but one congregation, and I alone am your Lord; you shall worship Me alone. 21:93 However, they divided themselves into disputing religions. All of them will come back to us (for judgment). 21:94 As for those who work righteousness, while believing, their work will not go to waste; we are recording it. 21:95 It is forbidden for any community we had annihilated to return.
The Real Family
49:10 The believers are members of one family; you shall keep the peace within your family and reverence GOD, that you may attain mercy.
Only One Religion
42:13 He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you, and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it.”
Abraham: Original Messenger of Islam*
22:78 You shall strive for the cause of GOD as you should strive for His cause. He has chosen you and has placed no hardship on you in practicing your religion—the religion of your father Abraham. He is the one who named you “Submitters” originally. Thus, the messenger shall serve as a witness among you, and you shall serve as witnesses among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and hold fast to GOD; He is your Lord, the best Lord and the best Supporter.
5:41 O you messenger, do not be saddened by those who hasten to disbelieve among those who say, “We believe,” with their mouths, while their hearts do not believe. Among the Jews, some listened to lies. They listened to people who never met you, and who distorted the words out of context, then said, “If you are given this, accept it, but if you are given anything different, beware.” Whomever GOD wills to divert, you can do nothing to help him against GOD. GOD does not wish to cleanse their hearts. They have incurred humiliation in this world, and in the Hereafter, they will suffer a terrible retribution.
Sectarianism Condemned
30:32 (Do not fall in idol worship,) like those who divide their religion into sects; each party rejoicing with what they have.
Those Who Frequent the Masjid
[ 24:37] People who are not distracted by business or trade from commemorating GOD; they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and they are conscious of the day when the minds and the eyes will be horrified. 24:38 GOD will certainly reward them for their good works, and will shower them with His grace. GOD provides for whomever He wills without limits.
Why would God address multiple messengers (plural) in 23:51?
Why would God address David in the Quran in 38:26 when It says “O’ you David”
Messengers From Among You
7:35 O children of Adam, when messengers come to you from among you, and recite My revelations to you, those who take heed and lead a righteous life, will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
