“As for the orphans, do not treat them severely! As for the needy, do not turn them away! As for the bountiful gifts of your Lord-Sustainer, proclaim them!” (Qur’an Surat al-Duha 93: 9-11). فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ (9) وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ (10) وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ (11)

“O self-at-peace, return to your Lord-Sustainer, being content [with your Lord-Sustainer], and [your Lord-Sustainer] being contended with you! Enter among My servants! Enter into My paradise!” (Qur’an Surat al-Fajr 89:27-30)
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ (27) ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً (28) فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي (29) وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي (30)
