https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v9ATR9oaOWVly5CzRO6r0FRVG8NJ8-J1/view?usp=… We said before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion by which the wholeness of the dedication can be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without faith will never be attained, for what is dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to truth by faith. This faith encompasses everyone involved, for only thus the situation is perceived as meaningful and as a whole. And everyone must be involved in it, or else your faith is limited and your dedication incomplete.

Verily, Allah is All- Hearing, All-Knowing. 150. Whether you make public a good deed or conceal it, or pardon an evil, Allah is certainly the Effacerof sins, and is All-Powerful. 151. Surely, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and desire to make a distinction between Allah and His Messengers, and say, 'We believe in some and disbelieve in others,' and desire to take a way in between, 152. These indeed are veritable disbelievers, and We have prepared for the disbelievers an humiliating punishment.
