God says
[But,] behold, as for those who say: “Our Sustainer is God” and then steadfastly persue the right way – upon them do angels often descend, (saying:) “Fear not and grieve not but receive the glad tiding of that paradise which has been promised to you! We are close unto you in the life of this world and (will be so) in the life to come; and in that [life] you shall have all that your soul may desire, and in it you shall have all that you ever prayed for, as a ready welcome from Him who is much forgiving, and most gracious! ”-- Q.41:30-32
Await, then, [O believer,] in all patience thy Sustainer’s judgment*, … Q.76:24
*This connects with the preceding mention of the life to come, in which the righteous will meet with bliss, and the evildoers with suffering.
Prophet said
1. “So be steadfast and seek nearness (to God).” -- H: Bukhari. N: Abu Hurairah.
2. Sufyan-b-Abdullah-al-Saqafi reported: I asked the Messenger of God to advise me a word about Islam, such that there will be no need ever to ask anyone else. He replied, “Say: ‘I believe in God’ (and) then be steadfast (in your belief) ” – H: Muslim.
