« believers along with the disbelievers. 198 Tafsīr al-Tustarī He said: The real believer (al-muʾmin ʿalā’l-ḥaqīqa) is the one who is not heedless of his lower self and his heart, but scrutinises his states (aḥwāl), and keeps a close watch over his moments (awqāt).9 He observes his increase (ziyāda) [in a good state, distinguishing it] from his decline (nuqṣān), and shows gratitude on seeing an increase, but when there is a decline, devotes himself [to remedying it] and makes supplication. It is through these [real believers] that God repels calamity (balāʾ) from the inhabitants of earth. »
