Have faith in Allah and His messenger, and strive in His way with your wealth and your lives. That is for your own good, for He will forgive you for your transgressions and admit you into graceful moments in the Gardens of bliss where rivers run through. That indeed is the greatest triumph. Deliver the glad tidings to the believers that Allah will bestow yet another blessing upon them, His succor and a speedy victory.
-Qur'an, As-Saff, Surah 61:11-13

Why do you restrict faith in Allah with faith in His messenger too? Why should I fear Allah and his messenger at the same time? Is it not enough that I should have faith in Allah alone? Also why do you specify only one messenger that we should fear, namely the one you refer to above; aren't there many messengers of God that we should also fear? Or is the fear restricted only to one messenger. Let us talk some sense, I am not fighting you and I am not insulting any body or any book that may be considering sacred to you. I am logically answering your question according to what you have quoted here above. Doesn't the Quran teach that we should not distinguish between one messenger and another and that we should respect all of them equally and without favoritism? If this is true in your Quran, and it may be found in in one of its Surahs, then why do you restrict fear to Allah and only one messenger? Should you not revise this passage to read have faith in Allah and in all His messengers. I think this way people who read the Quran would consider what they read with more credibility than just fearing one man. Again who is man that we should fear? There is no man created by God should be given any fear as of that given to God. Fear is a state that man should revere to God alone and none of His messengers. Can't you have faith in God and do righteousness and give the poor and the needy and pray 10 times a day if you wish and have mercy and love to all humanity without fearing any man no matter who he is. Fear is offered to God alone and to none other.
Now let as go on with all due respect to you and to what you believe. If what God has prepared for those who have faith in Him is something possible to visualize, then the Heaven that is possible to describe is really nothing. We are talking about the Creator of the Universe; we are not talking about a being who has prepared a beautiful garden where rivers run through. This we can get here on Earth not in Heaven. But in Heaven God has prepared for those who have faith in Him or love Him what no eyes can see or ears can hear, or even a mind can imagine the wonder that God has prepared for those who love Him. If all I can get is a Garden that has rivers flowing from underneath along with women of great beauty to enjoy making love with, and rivers of wine and the so forth, then there is a big question mark about what God is really have in mind for me. I only can say that you really should think with your God-given mind what you are presenting before us and try to see that there is absolutely no spiritual essence what so ever found in your passage. May God bless you!

expensive chum, you gave spectacular translation in English and nonetheless choose what '' approximately"" this verse ? precisely what do you prefer? The meaning you recognize. It became into mentioned approximately Shiva ( that doesn't mean Shiva on my own , you could say Any god , because of the fact there is ONE GOD on my own ). the author of the verse is telling GOD is YOUR mom, FATHER, chum ,RELATIVE ,he's THE WEALTH AND THE GNAANAM , IN ESSENCE he's each thing TO YOU . that's organic. WHAT EVER EXISTS IS HE basically BE IT A HUMAN OR ANIMAL OR a element.

Well, I think it's saying that following the Right Way will only do you good. As in spiritually, physically, financially in this life and in the next. It's just like when you obey your parents or someone older in a position of authority (like a teacher) they reward you with good things and you yourself earn their likeness as well as a sound and content heart.
Disobedience to Allah's Commands or His way is the same as doing things against your nature and against morality. He only asks us to do good and do what is logical/goes with our human nature. Therefore, following this Path is so easy, so logical, sensible and it does wonders for a person spiritually and in all other aspects, too. And I pray that Allah accept your good deeds and mine, and enter us into the Jannah that He has promised the believers, ameen. :)

Maybe something was lost in the translation. But it sounds like the rhetoric that comes from Bubba preachers. Have faith in God. Now trust me, because I am God's messenger.
Now, give me your money. Cause God needs a new car, and he wants me to drive it.
