Allah says “Hold tightly to the rope of Allah and let nothing divide you. Remember the favours he has bestowed upon you. How he united your hearts when you were enemies, so that you are now brothers by his grace. And how he saved you from the brink of fire” (Ale Imran: 102).

He believes in the beautiful mould in which Allah has created us. He is confident about the honour and dignity, which he has been crowned with. Islam gives him this strength of character to know exactly where he stands, where he is going, what is his destination, so he can loudly and proudly say to others. He has the self-mastery to avoid the temptations of the Shaitan.
