ON THE SUBJECT OF 8 PERSEVERANCE Let us start by reading some verses from the Koran Allah the Exalted says: "… go straight and as you have been commanded …" 11:112 Koran "The angels will descend on those who said: 'Allah is our Lord,' and have then gone straight, (saying): 'Be neither fearful, nor sad; rejoice in the Paradise you have been promised. We are your guides in this world and in the Everlasting Life. There, you shall have all that your soul's desire, and all that you ask for " 41:30-31 Koran "Those who say: 'Our Lord is Allah,' and follow the Straight Path shall have nothing to fear nor shall they sorrow. Those, they shall be for ever the inhabitants of Paradise, a recompense for what they did." 46:13-14 Koran
H 86 H "Sufyan asked the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, to tell him something about Islam after which he need not ask anyone else. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: 'Bear witness that you believe in Allah and then do not waiver.'" R 86 Muslim with a chain up to Sufyan son of Abdullah who related this.
