So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me. (Quran 2:152) And He found you lost and guided [you], (Quran 93:7) Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. (Quran 94:6) And do good; indeed, Allāh loves the doers of good.(Quran 2:195) Do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
