The true servants of the Merciful are those who walk upon the earth modestly and say: "Peace!" to the ignorant who address them; who pass the night standing and prostrate in adoration of their Lord; who say: "Lord ward off from us the punishment of Hell, for its punishment is everlasting, an evil dwelling and an evil resting place"; who, when they spend, are neither wasteful nor niggardly, but keep the golden mean; who invoke no other god besides God, and do not kill save for a just cause; who do not commit adultery. He that does this shall meet with evil: his punishment shall be doubled on the Day of Resurrection and in disgrace he shall abide forever-unless he repent and believe and do good works, for then God will change his sins to good actions; God is Forgiving and Merciful: he that repents and does good works truly returns to God; who do not bear false witness and when they pass by idle talk, pass by with dignity; who do not turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the revelations of their Lord when they are reminded of them; who say: "Lord, give us joy in our spouses and offspring, and make us examples to those who are God-fearing." These shall be rewarded with the highest heaven for their patient endurance. There they shall be welcomed with a greeting and peace, and there they shall abide forever; a blessed dwelling and a blessed resting place.

(25:63-76)
