Selected Verses of the Holy Quran

The Quality and Character of Believers

The Quran explains the need of belief in God and draws attention to the proofs of His existence. It emphasizes that God has always sent down His word by means of revelation. If God were to cease to manifest His attributes through the prophets and their followers, firm faith in the existence of God would disappear. It is imperative, therefore, that so long as mankind continue to exist, divine revelation should continue to descend upon some of them.

25:65 And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing.
25:66 And who say, 'Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell; for the punishment thereof is a lasting torment.
25:67 'It is indeed evil as a place of rest and as an abode';
25:68 And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly but moderate between the two;

25:76 It is such as will be rewarded a high place in Paradise because they were steadfast, and they will be received therein with greeting and peace,
