BASELINE DEFAULT OF EVERYTHING
[24:41]
Do you not see?

Even the birds š in formation,
each knows its ā ļø salah ā ļø and its glorification.
And God is fully aware of everything they do.

He is the Noble,

WARNINGS
[3:30] The Day every soul will find what good it had done present; and what bad it had done, it will wish that between them was a great distance. And God warns you of Himself, and God is Compassionate towards the servants.
[38:27] And We did not create the heaven and the earth, and everything between them, in vain. Such is the assumption of those who are kafaroo. Therefore, woe to those who have kafaroo from the Fire.
[44:38] And We have not created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, for mere play.
PERKS FOR LOYAL SERVANTS
[2:186] And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. š So let them respond to Me š and believe in Me š that they may be guided.
[3:15] Say: "Shall I inform you of what is greater than all this? For those who believe in their Lord will be estates with rivers flowing beneath them; abiding therein, and with pure mates, and an acceptance from God. And God is Seer over the servants."
CHARACTERISTICS OF SERVANTS
[2:207] And from among the people is he who sells his soul seeking the grace of God; God is kind to His servants.
[3:79] It is not for any mortal that God would give him the Kitab and the authority and the prophethood, then he would say to the people: "Be servants to me rather than God!" Rather: "Be devoted for what you have been taught of the Kitab, and of what you have studied."
[3:182] This is for what their ā”ļø hands have delivered ā¬ ļø, and God does not wrong the servants.
[9:104] Did they not know that it is š” God who accepts repentance from His servants š”, and He takes the charities, and that God is the Pardoner, the Merciful.
EXAMPLES OF BAD SERVANTS
[5:60] Say: "Shall I inform you of worse than this as a punishment from God? Those whom God cursed and became angry at them, and He made from them apes and pigs and ā servants of evil ā. Those have a worse place and are more astray from the right path."
[6:88] Such is the guidance of God, He guides with it whom He pleases of His servants. And if Such is the guidance of God, He guides with it whom He pleases of His servants. And if š¤ they ā¬ ļø set up partners, then all that they had worked would fall away from them.
[22:11] And ā ļø from the people there is he who serves God nervously ā ļø. So if good comes to him, he is content with it; and if an ordeal comes to him, he makes an about-face. He has lost this world and the Hereafter. Such is the clear loss.
[39:7] ā ļø If you deny, then know that God is in no need of you, and He is displeased with denial for His servants ā ļø. And if you are thankful, He is pleased with it for you. And no bearer may carry the burden of another. Then to your Cherisher ā Nourisher ā Sustainer ā Teacher ā Lord is your return, and He will inform you of everything you had done. He is fully aware of what is in the chests/breasts.
LOYAL SERVANTS
THE PROBLEM
[4:118] God has cursed him; and he said: "I will take from Your servants a sizeable portion."
[4:119] "And I will misguide them and make them desire, and I will command them so that they will mark the ears of the livestock, and I will command them so they will make change to the creation of God." Whoever takes the devil as a supporter other than God, then he has indeed lost a great loss.
[4:120] He promises them and makes them desire, but what the devil promises them is only vanity.
[17:62]
He said:
"Shall I show You this one whom You have preferred over me,
that if You respite me until the Day of Resurrection,
I will seize his progeny, except for a few."
[17:63]
He said:
"Go,
and whoever follows you from them.
Hell shall be the reward to you all, a reward well deserved"
[17:64]
"And entice whoever you can of them
with your voice, and
mobilize all your forces and
men against them, and
you may share with them
- in their money and
- children,
and promise them."
But the devil promises nothing but deceit.
[17:65]
"As for My servants,
you will have no power over them."
And your Lord is enough as a Caretaker.
LOYALTY TO GOD WHILE SERVING GOD
[15:39] He said: "My Lord, for that by which You have caused me to be misled, I will beautify for them what is on the earth, and I will mislead them all."
[15:40] "Except Your servants from among them, the loyal ones."
[37:124] When he said to his people: "Would you not be righteous?"
[37:125] "Would you call on Ba'al and forsake the best Creator?"
[37:126] "God is your Lord, and the Lord of your fathers of old!"
[37:127] But they denied him. Thus they were called to account.
[37:128] Except for God's loyal servants.
[38:82] He said: "By Your majesty, I will mislead them all."
[38:83] "Except for Your servants who are loyal."
