Alif-Laam-Meem. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: 'We believe', and will not be tested? And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make known, those who are true, and will certainly make known those who are liars.

Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

In education dwells the seed of hope: hope for peace and justice, hope for beauty and goodness; hope for social harmony.

Your wealth and your children are only a trial (fitnah). And Allah - With Him is a great reward (Paradise)".

All tremble at the rod. All fear death. Comparing others with oneself, one should neither strike nor cause to strike.
