Condition VIII 141 Essence of Islamic Teachings Then Allah says: 82 And who is better in faith than he who submits himself to Allah, and he is a doer of good, and follows the religion of Abraham, the upright? And Allah took Abraham for a special friend. In this verse, the essence of teachings of Islam is recorded. One should be completely obedient and should follow the commands of Allah with all his strengths. He should dedicate himself to faith and be gracious. One should not fear that his wealth or children would be wasted. Allah, Who is better than anyone else in returning favours and in rewarding efforts, will reward these actions Himself. As has been explained earlier, He Himself will protect his life, wealth, and honour. Allah the Almighty does not let such people or their future generations go to waste. Referencing the Qur’an, the Promised Messiah as says: 83 Whoever submits before God, dedicates his life in His path, and is eager to do righteous deeds shall get his rewards from 82. ( al-Nis a ’ , 4:126) 83. ( al-Baqarah , 2:113)
