So be steadfast, just as you have been commanded—[you] and whoever has turned [to Allah] with you—and do not overstep the bounds. Indeed, He watches what you do.[1]

O you who have faith! When you meet a host [in battle], then stand firm, and remember Allah greatly so that you may be felicitous.[3]
