Extracts from Chapter 1 - The believer is alert

Islam requires of the Muslim, first and foremost, that he be a true and sincere believer in Allah, closely connected to Him, constantly remembering HIm and putting his trust in HIm, while making the effort to help himself. The Muslim should feel in the depths of the his soul that is in constant need of the help and support of Allah, no matter how much he think he can do for himself.

The true and sincere Muslim is alert and open minded to the magnificience of Allah's creation. He knows that it is Almighty Allah Who is in control of the affairs of the universe and of mankind. He recognizes the signs of His unlimited power in every aspect of creation, and so his faith in Allah increases, he remembers Him constantly and puts his trust in Him:

"Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the Night and Day - there are indeed Signs for men of understanding - men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the [wonders of] creation in the heavens and the earth, [ with the thought ]: Our Lord! Not for naught have You created [all] this! Glory to You! Give us salvation from the Penalty of the Fire ' '' (Quran 3: 190-191)
