God says...

God says: "So be wary of God and obey me, and do not obey the dictates of the profligate." [^2] 2- Love and Sincerity to God the Glorious God says: "Say, 'If your fathers, your sons, your brethren, your spouses and your kinsfolk, the possessions that you have acquired, the business you fear may suffer and dwellings you are fond of are dearer to you than God and His Apostle, and, to waging jihad in His way, then wait until God issues His edict, and God does not guide the transgressing lot." [^3] "Among the people are those who set up peers besides God, loving them as if loving God- but the faithful have a more ardent love for God…" [^4] 3- Helping God, His Messenger (S) and the believers "O, you who have faith!

If you help God He will help you and make your feet steady." [^5] "God will surely help those who help Him.

Indeed God is All-strong, All-mighty." [^6] "… and those who gave them shelter and help- they are guardians of one another…" [^7] "… and those who gave them shelter and help, it is they who are truly faithful." [^8] "… Those who believe in him, honour him and help him, and follow the light that has been sent down with him, they are the felicitous." [^9] Direction in Loyalty With this comprehensive meaning, loyalty attracts all the abilities, capacities, talents and inclinations of man toward a single pole and also directs all his attention, his actions and his desires to it.

Consequently, it confers on this centre complete control over human existence, thereby saving man from a divided personality and sense of loss that affects many people. The first thing unity of loyalty does to man is to draw all aspects of his inner and outer being towards one point. Secondly, it directs this harmonious sum of capabilities, inclinations, desires and actions toward a single direction, which is the straight path that God the Exalted enjoins us to follow.

When this happens, man changes from a weak being beset by anxiety, confused thoughts and capabilities, into a strong entity that moves along the straight path. He becomes free from weakness and indecision, uncertainty and doubt with regard to the direction of his movement, and is not torn between different motives and desires.

Thirdly, it liberates man from all other centres of focus and motives, such as the ego, wealth, worldly possessions, desires and taghut that threaten to contain his efforts, actions and all aspects of his life.
