Lo! religion with Allah is The Surrender to His will and guidance.

[Faris_Mee]

For verily Muhammad thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee.


Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear save those who believe in Our revelations so that they surrender unto Him. 30:52-53





Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere in righteousness and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard their modesty, and men who remember Allah much and women who remember--Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.


And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His messenger have decided an affair for them, that they should after that claim any say in their affair; and whoso is rebellious to Allah and His messenger, he verily goeth astray in error manifest. 33:35-36





Say: O My bondmen who believe! Observe your duty to your Lord. For those who do good in this world there is good, and Allah's earth is spacious. Verily the steadfast will be paid their wages without stint.


Say O Muhammad: Lo! I am commanded to worship Allah, making religion pure for Him only.


And I am commanded to be the first of those who surrender unto Him.


Say: Lo! if I should disobey my Lord, I fear the doom of a tremendous Day.


Say: Allah I worship, making my religion pure for Him only.


Then worship what ye will beside Him. Say: The losers will be those who lose themselves and their housefolk on the Day of Resurrection. Ah, that will be the manifest loss! 39:10-15





Know they not that Allah enlargeth providence for whom He will, and straiteneth it for whom He will. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who believe.


Say: My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.


Turn unto Him repentant, and surrender unto Him, before there come unto you the doom, when ye cannot be helped.


And follow the better guidance of that which is revealed unto you from your Lord, before the doom cometh on you suddenly when ye know not,


Lest any soul should say Alas, my grief that I was unmindful of Allah, and I was indeed among the scoffers!


Or should say: if Allah had but guided me I should have been among the dutiful!


Or should say, when it seeth the doom: Oh, that I had but a second chance that I might be among the righteous!


But now the answer will be: Nay, for My revelations came unto thee, but thou didst deny them and wast scornful and wast among the disbelievers. 39:52-59
