Whoever holds fast to Allah

[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 101]


And whoever holds fast to Allah, he indeed is guided to the right path.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 102]


O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah with the care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are Muslims.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 103]


And hold fast by the covenant of Allah all together and be not disunited, and remember the favor of Allah on you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts so by His favor you became brethren; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then He saved you from it, thus does Allah make clear to you His communications that you may follow the right way.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 104]


And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 105]


And be not like those who became divided and disagreed after clear arguments had come to them, and these it is that shall have a grievous chastisement.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 106]


On the day when (some) faces shall turn white and (some) faces shall turn black; then as to those whose faces turn black: Did you disbelieve after your believing? Taste therefore the chastisement because you disbelieved.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 107]


And as to those whose faces turn white, they shall be in Allah's mercy; in it they shall-abide.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 108]


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



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 109]


And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's; and to Allah all things return.



[3. Surah Aal-e-Imran : Ayah 110]


You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefit of) men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah; and if the followers of the Book had believed it would have been better for them; of them (some) are believers and most of them are transgressors.
