The moment of death in holy Quran ( study description )

Surah Al-An’am, Verse 61:"And He is the Subjugator over His servants, and He sends over you guardian-angels until, when death comes to one of you, Our messengers take his soul, and they never fail in their duty."

Surah As-Sajdah, Verse 11:"Say, 'The Angel of Death, who has been entrusted with you, will take your souls. Then to your Lord you will be returned.'"

Surah Al-Waqi’ah, Verses 83-87:"Then why, when the soul reaches the throat, and you are looking on, but We are closer to him than you, though you do not see—then why do you not, if you are not to be held accountable, bring it back, if you are truthful?"

4. Surah Qaf, Verse 19:"And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid."

Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end; ( An-Nisa 4:97 )

_

If only you [Prophet] could see, when the angels take the souls of the disbelievers, how they strike their faces and backs: it will be said, ‘Taste the punishment of the Fire ً( Quran Al-Anfal 8:50 )

VIRGIN MARY 🌹 PROPHET JESUS IN QURAN 🌹

Virgin Mary Prophet Jesus son of Mary 🌹 _ in Quran 🌹

And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants).66:12

—

Mention in the Quran the story of Mary. She withdrew from her family to a place to the east 19:16

and secluded herself away; We sent Our Spirit to appear before her in the form of a perfected man. 19:17

She said, ‘I seek the Lord of Mercy’s protection against you: if you have any fear of Him [do not approach]!’ 19:18

but he said, ‘I am but a Mes-senger from your Lord, [come] to announce to you the gift of a pure son.’

She said, ‘How can I have a son when no man has touched me? I have not been unchaste,’ 19:20

and he said, ‘This is what your Lord said: “It is easy for Me- We shall make him a sign to all people, a blessing from Us.”’

19:21

And so it was ordained: she conceived him. She withdrew to a distant place

and, when the pains of childbirth drove her to [cling to] the trunk of a palm tree, she exclaimed, ‘I wish I had been dead and forgotten long before all this!’ 19:23

but a voice cried to her from below, ‘Do not worry: your Lord has provided a stream at your feet

and, if you shake the trunk of the palm tree towards you, it will deliver fresh ripe dates for you, 19:25

so eat, drink, be glad, and say to anyone you may see: “I have vowed to the Lord of Mercy to abstain from conversation, and I will not talk to anyone today.”’

She went back to her people carrying the child, and they said, ‘Mary! You have done something terrible! 19:27

Sister of Aaron! Your father was not an evil man; your mother was not unchaste!’ 19:28

She pointed at him. They said, ‘How can we converse with an infant?’

[But] he said: ‘I am a servant of God. He has granted me the Scripture; made me a prophet; 19:30

made me blessed wherever I may be. He commanded me to pray, to give alms as long as I live, 19:31

to cherish my mother. He did not make me domineering or graceless.

Peace was on me the day I was born, and will be on me the day I die and the day I am raised to life again.’ 19:33

Such was Jesus, son of Mary. [This is] a statement of the Truth about which they are in doubt:

it would not befit God to have a child. He is far above that: when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is. 19:35

‘God is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him: that is a straight path.’

— Imran Our Lady Mary

God chose Adam, Noah, Abraham’s family, and the family of Imran, over all other people, 3:33

in one line of descent- God hears and knows all.

Imran’s wife said, ‘Lord, I have dedicated what is growing in my womb entirely to You; so accept this from me. You are the One who hears and knows all,’ 3:35

but when she gave birth, she said, ‘My Lord! I have given birth to a girl’- God knew best what she had given birth to: the male is not like the female- ‘ I name her Mary and I commend her and her offspring to Your protection from the rejected Satan.’ 3:36

Her Lord graciously accepted her and made her grow in goodness, and entrusted her to the charge of Zachariah. Whenever Zachariah went in to see her in her sanctuary, he found her supplied with provisions. He said, ‘Mary, how is it you have these provisions?’ and she said, ‘They are from God: God provides limitlessly for whoever He will.’ 3:37

— Mary Jesus Torah and the Gospel

The angels said to Mary: ‘Mary, God has chosen you and made you pure: He has truly chosen you above all women.

3:42

Mary, be devout to your Lord, prostrate yourself in worship, bow down with those who pray.’

This is an account of things beyond your knowledge that We reveal to you [Muhammad]: you were not present among them when they cast lots to see which of them should take charge of Mary, you were not present with them when they argued [about her]. 3:44

The angels said, ‘Mary, God gives you news of a Word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, who will be held in honour in this world and the next, who will be one of those brought near to God. 3:45

He will speak to people in his infancyand in his adulthood. He will be one of the righteous.’

She said, ‘My Lord, how can I have a son when no man has touched me?’ [The angel] said, ‘This is how God creates what He will: when He has ordained something, He only says, “Be”, and it is. 3:47

He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel, 3:48

He will send him as a messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I will make the shape of a bird for you out of clay, then breathe into it and, with God’s permission, it will become a real bird; I will heal the blind and the leper, and bring the dead back to life with God’s permission; I will tell you what you may eat and what you may store up in your houses. There truly is a sign for you in this, if you are believers. 3:49

I have come to confirm the truth of the Torah which preceded me, and to make some things lawful to you which used to be forbidden. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. Be mindful of God, obey me:

God is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him- that is a straight path.”’

When Jesus realized they [still] did not believe, he said, ‘Who will help me in God’s cause?’ The disciples said, ‘We will be God’s helpers; we believe in God- witness our devotion to Him. 3:52

Lord, we believe in what You have revealed and we follow the messenger: record us among those who bear witness [to the Truth].’

The [disbelievers] schemed but God also schemed; God is the Best of Schemers. 3:54

God said, ‘Jesus, I will take you back and raise you up to Me: I will purify you of the disbelievers. To the Day of Resurrection I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieved. Then you will all return to Me and I will judge between you regarding your differences. 3:55

I will make the disbelievers suffer severely in this world and the next; no one will help them.’ 3:56

God will pay those who believe and do good deeds their reward in full; God does not love evildoers.

We relate to you [Muhammad] this revelation, a decisive statement. 3:58

In God’s eyes Jesus is just like Adam: He created him from dust, said to him, ‘Be’, and he was.

This is the truth from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt. 3:60

—

O population of the Book, why do you argue about Ibrahim? And in no way were the Tawrah (The Book revealed to Musa "Moses") and the Injil (The Book revealed to Isa "Jesus") sent down except even after him. Do you not then consider?3:65

—

Say [Muhammad], ‘We [Muslims] believe in God and in what has been sent down to us and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes. We believe in what has been given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We do not make a distinction between any of the [prophets]. It is to Him that we devote ourselves.’ 3:84

If anyone seeks a religion other than [islam] complete devotion to God, it will not be accepted from him: he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter. 3:85

— Jesus the Gospel

We gave Moses the Scripture and We sent messengers after him in succession. We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. So how is it that, whenever a messenger brings you something you do not like, you become arrogant, calling some impostors and killing others?

—

We favoured some of these messengers above others. God spoke to some; others He raised in rank; We gave Jesus, son of Mary, Our clear signs and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If God had so willed, their successors would not have fought each other after they had been brought clear signs. But they disagreed: some believed and some disbelieved. If God had so willed, they would not have fought each other, but God does what He will. 2:253

—

and because they disbelieved and uttered a terrible slander against Mary, 4:156

and said, ‘We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God.’ (They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, though it was made to appear like that to them; those that disagreed about him are full of doubt, with no knowledge to follow, only supposition: they certainly did not kill him-4:157

God raised him up to Himself. God is almighty and wise.

There is not one of the People of the Book who will not believe in [Jesus] before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.)4:159

—

People of the Book, do not go to excess in your religion, and do not say anything about God except the truth: the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was nothing more than a messenger of God, His word, directed to Mary, a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers and do not speak of a ‘Trinity’- stop [this], that is better for you- God is only one God, He is far above having a son, everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him and He is the best one to trust. 4:171

The Messiah would never disdain to be a servant of God, nor would the angels who are close to Him. He will gather before Him all those who disdain His worship and are arrogant: 4:172

to those who believe and do good works He will give due rewards and more of His bounty; to those who are disdainful and arrogant He will give an agonizing torment, and they will find no one besides God to protect or help them.

—

Those who say, ‘God is the Messiah, the son of Mary,’ are defying the truth. Say, ‘If it had been God’s will, could anyone have prevented Him from destroying the Messiah, son of Mary, together with his mother and everyone else on earth? Control of the heavens and earth and all that is between them belongs to God: He creates whatever He will. God has power over everything.’ 5:17

The Jews and the Christians say, ‘We are the children of God and His beloved ones.’ Say, ‘Then why does He punish you for your sins? You are merely human beings, part of His creation: He forgives whoever He will and punishes whoever He will. Control of the heavens and earth and all that is between them belongs to Him: all journeys lead to Him.’

—

We sent Jesus, son of Mary, in their footsteps, to confirm the Torah that had been sent before him: We gave him the Gospel with guidance, light, and confirmation of the Torah already revealed- a guide and lesson for those who take heed of God.5:46

So let the followers of the Gospel judge according to what God has sent down in it. Those who do not judge according to what God has revealed are lawbreakers.

We sent to you [Muhammad] the Scripture with the truth, confirming the Scriptures that came before it, and with final authority over them: so judge between them according to what God has sent down. Do not follow their whims, which deviate from the truth that has come to you. We have assigned a law and a path to each of you. If God had so willed, He would have made you one community, but He wanted to test you through that which He has given you, so race to do good: you will all return to God and He will make clear to you the matters you differed about. 5:48

—

Those who say, ‘God is the Messiah, son of Mary,’ have defied God. The Messiah himself said, ‘Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.’ If anyone associates others with God, God will forbid him from the Garden, and Hell will be his home. No one will help such evildoers. 5:72

Those people who say that God is the third of three are defying [the truth]: there is only One God. If they persist in what they are saying, a painful punishment will afflict those of them who persist.

Why do they not turn to God and ask His forgiveness, when God is most forgiving, most merciful?5:74

—

Say, ‘People of the Book, do not overstep the bounds of truth in your religion and do not follow the whims of those who went astray before you- they led many others astray and themselves continue to stray from the even path.’

Those Children of Israel who defied [God] were rejected through the words of David, and Jesus, son of Mary, because they disobeyed, they persistently overstepped the limits,5:78

they did not forbid each other to do wrong. How vile their deeds were!

—

On the Day when God assembles all the messengers and asks, ‘What response did you receive?’ they will say, ‘We do not have that knowledge: You alone know things that cannot be seen.’5:109

Then God will say, ‘Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour to you and to your mother: how I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you spoke to people in your infancy and as a grown man; how I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel; how, by My leave, you fashioned the shape of a bird out of clay, breathed into it, and it became, by My leave, a bird; how, by My leave, you healed the blind person and the leper; how, by My leave, you brought the dead back to life; how I restrained the Children of Israel from [harming] you when you brought them clear signs, and those of them who disbelieved said, “This is clearly nothing but sorcery”;5:110

and how I inspired the disciples to believe in Me and My messengers- they said, “We believe and bear witness that we devote ourselves [to God].”’

When the disciples said, ‘Jesus, son of Mary, can your Lord send down a feast to us from heaven?’ he said, ‘Beware of God if you are true believers.’5:112

They said, ‘We wish to eat from it; to have our hearts reassured; to know that you have told us the truth; and to be witnesses of it.’

Jesus, son of Mary, said, ‘Lord, send down to us a feast from heaven so that we can have a festival- the first and last of us- and a sign from You. Provide for us: You are the best provider.’ 5:114

God said, ‘I will send it down to you, but anyone who disbelieves after this will be punished with a punishment that I will not inflict on anyone else in the world.’

When God says, ‘Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people, “Take me and my mother as two gods alongside God”?’ he will say, ‘May You be exalted! I would never say what I had no right to say- if I had said such a thing You would have known it: You know all that is within me, though I do not know what is within You, You alone have full knowledge of things unseen-5:116

I told them only what You commanded me to: “Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.” I was a witness over them during my time among them. Ever since You took my soul, You alone have been the watcher over them: You are witness to all things

and if You punish them, they are Your servants; if You forgive them, You are the Almighty, the Wise.’5:118

—

Zachariah, John, Jesus, and Elijah- every one of them was righteous- 6:85

—

The Jews said, ‘Ezra is the son of God,’ and the Christians said, ‘The Messiah is the son of God’: they said this with their own mouths, repeating what earlier disbelievers had said. May God confound them! How far astray they have been led!

9:30

They take their rabbis and their monks as lords, as well as Christ, the son of Mary. But they were commanded to serve only one God: there is no god but Him; He is far above whatever they set up as His partners! 9:31 [Surah At-Tawbah]

—

They say, ‘God has children!’ May He be exalted! He is the Self-Sufficient One; everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. You have no authority to say this. How dare you say things about God without any knowledge? 10:68

Say [Prophet], ‘Those who invent lies about God will not prosper.’

They may have a little enjoyment in this world, but then they will return to Us. Then We shall make them taste severe punishment for persisting in blasphemy. 10:70 [Surah Yunus]

—

and to warn those who claim, “Allah has offspring.”18:4

They have no knowledge about this, nor did their forefathers––it is a monstrous assertion that comes out of their mouths: what they say is nothing but lies.18:5

YOUR GOD IS THE ONE GOD

there is no god but God — in the Quran 🌹

They say: 'God has adopted a son!" Glory be to Him [of having a son]! Rather owns whatever is in Heaven and Earth. All things are devoted to Him.

2:116 [ Surah Al-Baqarah ]

Your God is the One God

No person to whom God had given the Scripture, wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to people, ‘Be my servants, not God’s.’ [He would say], ‘You should be devoted to God because you have taught the Scripture and studied it closely.’3:79

He would never command you to take angels and prophets as lords. How could he command you to be disbelievers after you had devoted yourselves to God? 3:80 [ Surah Ali 'Imran ]

—

God does not forgive the joining of partners with Him: anything less than that He forgives to whoever He will, but anyone who joins partners with God has concocted a tremendous sin. 4:48

[Prophet], have you considered those who claim purity for themselves? No! God purifies whoever He will: no one will be wronged by as much as the husk of a date stone.

—

God does not forgive the worship of others beside Him- though He does forgive whoever He will for lesser sins- for whoever does this has gone far, far astray. 4:116

—

O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. 4:171

Christ disdaineth nor to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels, those nearest (to Allah): those who disdain His worship and are arrogant,-He will gather them all together unto Himself to (answer). 4:172 [ Surah An-Nisa ]

—

Those who say, ‘God is the Messiah, the son of Mary,’ are defying the truth. Say, ‘If it had been God’s will, could anyone have prevented Him from destroying the Messiah, son of Mary, together with his mother and everyone else on earth? Control of the heavens and earth and all that is between them belongs to God: He creates whatever He will. God has power over everything.’ 5:17

The Jews and the Christians say, ‘We are the children of God and His beloved ones.’ Say, ‘Then why does He punish you for your sins?

Those people who say that God is the third of three are defying [the truth]: there is only One God. If they persist in what they are saying, a painful punishment will afflict those of them who persist.

5:73

—

When God says, ‘Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people, “Take me and my mother as two gods alongside God”?’ he will say, ‘May You be exalted! I would never say what I had no right to say- if I had said such a thing You would have known it: You know all that is within me, though I do not know what is within You, You alone have full knowledge of things unseen-5:116

5:118

—

He is the Only True God in the heavens and the earth. He knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal, and knows whatever you do.

6:3

—

Say, ‘Shall I take for myself a protector other than God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who feeds but is not fed?’ Say, ‘I am commanded to be the first [of you] to devote myself [to Him].’ Do not be one of the idolaters. 6:14

Say, ‘I fear the punishment of a dreadful Day if I disobey my Lord.

God will have been truly merciful to whoever is spared on that Day: that is the clearest triumph.’

6:16

If God touches you [Prophet] with affliction, no one can remove it except Him, and if He touches you with good, He has power over all things:6:17

He is the Supreme Master over His creatures, the All Wise, the All Aware.6:18

Say, ‘What counts most as a witness?’ Say, ‘God is witness between you and me. This Quran was revealed for me to warn you [people] and everyone it reaches. Do you really bear witness that there are other gods beside God?’ Say, ‘I myself do not bear witness [to any such thing].’ Say, ‘He is only one God, and I disown whatever you join with Him.’6:19

Those to whom We have given the Scripture know this as well as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their souls will not believe.

Who does greater wrong than someone who fabricates a lie against God or denies His revelation? Those who do such wrong will not prosper.6:21

When We gather them all together and say to the polytheists, ‘Where are those you claimed were partners with God?’ in their utter dismay

they will only say, ‘By God, our Lord, we have not set up partners beside Him!’ 6:23

See how they lie against themselves and how those they invented have deserted them.

—

Those who reject Our signs are deaf, dumb, and in total darkness. God leaves whoever He will to stray, and sets whoever He will on a straight path.6:39

Say, ‘Think: if the punishment of God or the Hour should come to you, would you call on anyone other than God, if you are being truthful?’6:40

No indeed, it is on Him that you would call. If it were His will, He could remove whatever harm made you call on Him, and then you would forget what you now associate with Him.6:41

—

Say [Prophet], ‘Think: if God were to take away your hearing and your sight and seal up your hearts, what god other than He could restore them?’ See how We explain Our revelations in various ways, yet still they turn away.6:46

Say, ‘Think: if the punishment of God should come to you, by surprise or openly, would anyone but the evildoers be destroyed?’6:47

—

Say, ‘I am forbidden to worship those you call on other than God.’ Say, ‘I will not follow your vain desires, for if I did, I would stray from the path and cease to be rightly guided.’6:56

Say, ‘I stand on clear proof from my Lord, though you deny it. What you seek to hasten is not within my power. Judgement is for God alone: He tells the truth, and He is the best of judges.’6:57

—

Say, ‘God rescues you from this and every distress; yet still you worship others beside Him.’6:64

—

Say, ‘Instead of God, are we to call on what neither profits nor harms us? [Are we to] turn on our heels after God has guided us, like someone bewildered, having been tempted by devils into a desert ravine, though his companions call him to guidance [saying], “Come to us”?’ Say, ‘God’s guidance is the true guidance. We are commanded to devote ourselves to the Lord of the Worlds,6:71

to establish regular prayers and be mindful of Him.’ It is to Him that you will all be gathered.6:72

— Abraham

Remember when Abraham said to his father, Azar, ‘How can you take idols as gods? I see that you and your people have clearly gone astray.’ 6:74

In this way We showed Abraham [God’s] mighty dominion over the heavens and the earth, so that he might be a firm believer.

When the night grew dark over him he saw a star and said, ‘This is my Lord,’ but when it set, he said, ‘I do not like things that set.’6:76

And when he saw the moon rising he said, ‘This is my Lord,’ but when it too set, he said, ‘If my Lord does not guide me, I shall be one of those who go astray.’

Then he saw the sun rising and cried, ‘This is my Lord! This is greater.’ But when the sun set, he said, ‘My people, I disown all that you worship beside God.6:78

I have turned my face as a true believer towards Him who created the heavens and the earth. I am not one of the polytheists.’

His people argued with him, and he said, ‘How can you argue with me about God when He has guided me? I do not fear anything you associate with Him: unless my Lord wills [nothing can happen]. My Lord encompasses everything in His knowledge. How can you not take heed? 6:80

Why should I fear what you associate with Him? Why do you not fear to associate with Him things for which He has sent you no authority? Tell me, if you know the answer, which side has more right to feel secure?6:81

It is those who have faith, and do not mix their faith with idolatry, who will be secure, and it is they who are rightly guided.’

—

Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord, there is no God but Him. Turn away from those who join other gods with Him.6:106

If it had been God’s will, they would not have done so, but We have not made you their guardian, nor are you their keeper.

[Believers], do not revile those they call on beside God in case they, in their hostility and ignorance, revile God. To each community We make their own actions seem alluring, but in the end they will return to their Lord and He will inform them of all they did.

6:108

—

They apportion to God a share of the produce and the livestock He created, saying, ‘This is for God’- so they claim!- ‘ and this is for our idols.’ Their idols’ share does not reach God, but God’s share does reach their idols: how badly they judge!6:136

In the same way, their idols have induced many of the pagans to kill their own children, bringing them ruin and confusion in their faith: if God had willed otherwise they would not have done this, so [Prophet] leave them to their own devices.6:137

—

The idolaters will say, ‘If God had willed, we would not have ascribed partners to Him- nor would our fathers- or have declared anything forbidden.’ In the same way, those before them continually denied [the truth] until they tasted Our punishment. Say, ‘Have you any knowledge that you can show us? You follow only supposition and tell only lies.’6:148

Say, ‘The conclusive argument belongs to God alone. Had He so willed He would have guided you all.’

—

Say, ‘My Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the faith of Abraham, a man of pure faith. He was not a polytheist.’6:161

Say, ‘My prayers and sacrifice, my life and death, are all for God, Lord of all the Worlds;

He has no partner. This is what I am commanded, and I am the first to devote myself to Him.’6:163

Say, ‘Should I seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?’ Each soul is responsible for its own actions; no soul will bear the burden of another. You will all return to your Lord in the end, and He will tell you the truth about your differences. 6:164 [ Surah Al-An'am ]

—

Who is more wrong than the person who invents lies against God or rejects His revelations? Such people will have their preordained share [in this world], but then, when Our angels arrive to take them back, saying, ‘Where are those you used to call on beside God?’ they will say, ‘They have deserted us.’ They will confess that they were disbelievers and 7:37

God will say, ‘Join the crowds of jinn and humans who have gone before you into the Fire.’ Every crowd curses its fellow crowd as it enters, then, when they are all gathered inside, the last of them will say of the first, ‘Our Lord, it was they who led us astray: give them double punishment in the Fire’- God says, ‘Every one of you will have double punishment, though you do not know it’-

—

Those who took the calf (for worship) will indeed be overwhelmed with wrath from their Lord, and with shame in this life: thus do We recompense those who invent (falsehoods).7:152

but your Lord is most forgiving and most merciful towards those who do wrong, then repent afterwards and truly believe. 7:153

—

and yet when He gives them a good child they ascribe some of what He has granted them to others.7:190

God is far above the partners they set up alongside Him! How can they set up with Him these partners that create nothing and are themselves created,

7:191

that cannot help them at all, or even help themselves?

If you [believers] call such people to guidance, they do not fol-low you: it makes no difference whether you call them or remain silent.7:193

Those you [idolaters] call upon instead of God are created beings like you. Call upon them, then, and let them respond to you if what you say is true.7:194

Do they have feet to walk, hands to strike, eyes to see, or ears to hear? Say [Prophet], ‘Call on your “partners”! Scheme against me! Do not spare me!

7:195

My protector is God: He has revealed the Scripture, and it is He who protects the righteous,

but those you call on instead of Him cannot help you or even help themselves.’7:197

If you [believers] call such people to guidance, they do not hear. You [Prophet] may observe them looking at you, but they can-not see.

Be tolerant and command what is right: pay no attention to foolish people.7:199

[ Surah Al-A'raf ]

The Jews said, ‘Ezra is the son of God,’ and the Christians said, ‘The Messiah is the son of God’: they said this with their own mouths, repeating what earlier disbelievers had said. May God confound them! How far astray they have been led! 9:30

They take their rabbis and their monks as lords, as well as Christ, the son of Mary. But they were commanded to serve only one God: there is no god but Him; He is far above whatever they set up as His partners!9:31

They try to extinguish God’s light with their mouths, but God insists on bringing His light to its fullness, even if the disbelievers hate it. [ Surah At-Tawbah ]

—

Who could be more wicked than someone who invents lies against God or denies His revelations? The guilty will never prosper.10:17

They worship alongside God things that can neither harm nor benefit them, and say, ‘These are our intercessors with God.’ Say, ‘Do you think you can tell God about something He knows not to exist in the heavens or earth? Glory be to Him! He is far above the partner-gods they associate with Him!

10:18

—

On the Day We gather them all together, We shall say to those who associate partners with God, ‘Stay in your place, you and your partner-gods.’ Then We shall separate them, and their partner-gods will say, ‘It was not us you worshipped-10:28

God is witness enough between us and you- we had no idea that you worshipped us.’ 10:29

—

indeed, all who are in the heavens and on the earth belong to Him. Those who call upon others beside God are not really following partner-gods; they are only following assumptions and telling lies. 10:66

—

They say, ‘God has children!’ May He be exalted! He is the Self-Sufficient One; everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. You have no authority to say this. How dare you say things about God without any knowledge?10:68

Say [Prophet], ‘Those who invent lies about God will not prosper.’10:69

They may have a little enjoyment in this world, but then they will return to Us. Then We shall make them taste severe punishment for persisting in blasphemy.

—

[Prophet] say, ‘People, even if you are in doubt about my religion, I do not worship those you worship other than God, but I worship God who will cause you to die, and I am commanded to be a believer.’

10:104

[Prophet], set your face towards religion as a man of pure faith. Do not be one of those who join partners with God;

do not pray to any other [god] that can neither benefit nor harm you: if you do, you will be one of the evildoers.10:106

If God inflicts harm on you, no one can remove it but Him, and if He intends good for you, no one can turn His bounty away; He grants His bounty to any of His servants He will. He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful. [ Surah Yunus]

—

˹Tell them, O Prophet,˺ “Worship none but Allah. Surely I am a warner and deliverer of good news to you from Him. 11:2

—

If they do not answer you, then you will all know that it is sent down containing knowledge from God, and that there is no god but Him. Then will you submit to Him? 11:14

—

They replied, ‘Hud, you have not brought us any clear evidence. We will not forsake our gods on the strength of your word alone, nor will we believe in you. 11:53

All we can say is that one of our gods may have inflicted some harm on you.’ He said, ‘I call God to witness, and you too are my witnesses, that I disown those you set up as partners with God.

11:54

So plot against me, all of you, and give me no respite.

I have relied on Allah (God), [Who is both] my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature which He does not grasp by its forelock (control). My Lord is on a Straight Road.

But if you turn away, then I have conveyed the message with which I was sent to you, and my Lord will bring along another people in your place. You cannot do Him any harm: it is my Lord who protects everything.11:57

—

We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves. Their gods, which they called on beside God, were no use to them when what your Lord had ordained came about; they only increased their ruin.11:101

Such is the punishment of your Lord for towns in the midst of their sins: His punishment is terrible and severe.

There truly is a sign in this for anyone who fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day in which all people will be gathered together, a Day for all to see.11:103 [ Surah Hud ]

—

the thunder sounds His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him; He sends thunderbolts to strike whoever He will. Yet still they dispute about God- He has mighty plans. 13:13

The only true prayer is to Him: those they pray to besides Him give them no answer any more than water reaches the mouth of someone who simply stretches out his hands for it- it cannot do so: the prayers of the disbelievers are all in vain.

All that are in heaven and earth submit to God alone, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the mornings and in the evenings. 13:15

Say [Prophet], ‘Who is Lord of the heavens and the earth?’ Say, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Why do you take protectors other than Him, who can neither benefit nor harm even themselves?’ Say, ‘Are the blind equal to those who can see? And are the depths of darkness equal to the light?’ Have the partners they assign to God created anything like His creation so that their creation is indistinguishable from His? Say, ‘God is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the All Compelling.’ 13:16

—

So We have sent you [Prophet] to a community- other communities passed away long before them- to recite to them what We reveal to you. Yet they disbelieve in the Lord of Mercy. Say, ‘He is my Lord: there is no god but Him. I put my trust in Him and to Him is my return.’ 13:30

Many messengers before you [Muhammad] were mocked, but I granted respite to the disbelievers: in the end, I took them to task- how terrible My punishment was!

Is He who stands over every soul marking its action [in need of any partner]? Yet they ascribe partners to God. Say, ‘Name them,’ or, ‘Can you tell Him about something on the earth He does not know to exist, or is this just a display of words?’ But the things they devise are made alluring to the disbelievers and they are barred from the [right] path: no one can guide those God leaves to stray.13:33

There is a punishment for them in this world, but the punishment of the Hereafter will be harder- no one will defend them against God. [Surah Ar-Ra'd ]

Here is a picture of the Garden that those mindful of God have been promised: flowing streams and perpetual food and shade. This is the reward that awaits those who are mindful of God; the disbelievers’ reward is the Fire.13:35

Those to whom We sent the Scripture rejoice in what has been revealed to you [Prophet]; some factions deny parts of it. Say, ‘I am commanded to worship God, and not join anything with Him in worship: to Him I call [others] and to Him I shall return.’

[Surah Ar-Ra'd ]

—

who set up another god beside God- they will come to know. 15:96

We are well aware that your heart is weighed down by what they say.

Celebrate the glory of your Lord and be among those who bow down to Him:

And worship your Lord until the Certitude comes up to you.15:99 [ Surah Al-Hijr ]

—

The command of Allah is at hand, so do not hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him in worship˺! 16:1

He sends down the angels with revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants, ˹stating:˺ “Warn ˹humanity˺ that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Me, so be mindful of Me ˹alone˺.” 16:2

He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺!

—

He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.

Those they invoke beside God create nothing; they are themselves created.16:20

They are dead, not living. They do not know when they will be raised up.

Your God is the One God. As for those who deny the life to come, their hearts refuse to admit the truth and they are arrogant. 16:22

—

Those who worshipped others alongside God say, ‘If God had willed, we would not have worshipped anything but Him, nor would our fathers. We would not have declared anything forbidden without His sanction.’ Those before them said the same. Are the messengers obliged to do anything other than deliver [their message] clearly?16:35

We sent a messenger to every community, saying, ‘Worship God and shun false gods.’ Among them were some God guided; misguidance took hold of others. So travel through the earth and see what was the fate of those who denied the truth.16:36

Though you [Prophet] may be eager to guide them, God does not guide those who misguide [others], nor will they have anyone to help them.

—

yet when He has relieved you of your hardship- lo and behold!- some of you attribute partners to your Lord.16:54

Let them show ingratitude for the favours We have shown them; ‘Enjoy your brief time- soon you will know.’

They set aside part of the sustenance We give them, for [idols] about which they have no true knowledge. By God! You will be questioned about your false inventions.16:56

—

Those they worship beside God have no power to provide anything for them from the heavens or the earth: they can do nothing.16:73

So do not make up images about God: God knows and you do not.

—

When the idolaters see the partners they joined with God they will say, ‘Our Lord, these are the partners we used to invoke beside You,’ but the partners will retort, ‘You are liars,’16:86

and on that Day they will offer total submission to God: their false deities will desert them.

Because of the corruption they spread, We shall add torment upon torment for those who disbelieved and barred others from the path of God.16:88

The day will come when We raise up in each community a witness against them, and We shall bring you [Prophet] as a witness against these people, for We have sent the Scripture down to you explaining everything, and as guidance and mercy and good news to those who devote themselves to God.

—

[Prophet], when you recite the Quran, seek God’s protection from the outcast, Satan.16:98

He has no power over those who believe and trust in their Lord;

his power is only over those who ally themselves with him and those who, because of him, join partners with God.16:100

When We substitute one revelation for another- and God knows best what He reveals- they say, ‘You are just making it up,’ but most of them have no knowledge.

Say that the Holy Spirit has brought the Revelation with the Truth step by step from your Lord, to strengthen the believers and as guidance and good news to the devout.16:102

—

If people do not believe in God’s revelation, God does not guide them, and a painful punishment awaits them.16:104

Falsehood is fabricated only by those who do not believe in God’s revelation: they are the liars.

With the exception of those who are forced to say they do not believe, although their hearts remain firm in faith, those who reject God after believing in Him and open their hearts to disbelief will have the wrath of God upon them and a grievous punishment awaiting them.16:106

This is because they love the life of this world more than the one to come, and God does not guide those who reject Him.

and there is no doubt that they will be the losers in the Hereafter.16:109 [Surah An-Nahl ]

No God except Allah

REGLLGION WITH GOD IS ISLAM

religion with god is Islam

God bears witness that there is no god but Him, as do the angels and those who have knowledge. He upholds justice. There is no god but Him, the Almighty, the All Wise.3:18

True Religion, in God’s eyes, is islam: [devotion to Him alone]. Those who were given the Scripture disagreed out of rivalry, only after they had been given knowledge- if anyone denies God’s revelations, God is swift to take account-

if they argue with you [Prophet], say, ‘I have devoted myself to God alone and so have my followers.’ Ask those who were given the Scripture, as well as those without one, ‘Do you too devote yourselves to Him alone?’ If they do, they will be guided, but if they turn away, your only duty is to convey the message. God is aware of His servants. 3:20

the deeds of such people will come to nothing in this world and in the next and no one will help them.

—

Say [Muhammad], ‘We [Muslims] believe in God and in what has been sent down to us and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes. We believe in what has been given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We do not make a distinction between any of the [prophets]. It is to Him that we devote ourselves.’ 3:84

If anyone seeks a religion other than [islam] complete devotion to God, it will not be accepted from him: he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter. 3:85

—

It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to show that it is above all [other] religions, however much the idolaters may hate this. 9:33

—

Say [Muhammad], ‘We [Muslims] believe in God and in what has been sent down to us and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes. We believe in what has been given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We do not make a distinction between any of the [prophets]. It is to Him that we devote ourselves.’

PARADISE IN QURAN 🌹

Paradise in Quran 🌹

[Prophet], give those who believe and do good the news that they will have Gardens graced with flowing streams. Whenever they are given sustenance from the fruits of these Gardens, they will say, ‘We have been given this before,’ because they were provided with something like it. They will have pure spouses and there they will stay. 2:25 [ Surah Al-Baqarah ]

while those who believe and do good deeds will be the inhabitants of the Garden, there to remain.2:82

—

As for those who believe and do good deeds, We shall admit them into Gardens graced with flow-ing streams and there they will remain forever. They will have pure spouses there, and We shall admit them into cool refreshing shade.4:57

—

but We shall admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens graced with flowing streams, there to remain for ever––a true promise from God. Who speaks more truly than God? 4:122 [ Surah An-Nisa ]

—

But those who believe and do good deeds- and We do not burden any soul with more than it can bear- are the people of the Garden and there they will remain.7:42

We shall have removed all ill feeling from their hearts; streams will flow at their feet. They will say, ‘Praise be to God, who guided us to this: had God not guided us, We would never have found the way. The messengers of our Lord brought the Truth.’ A voice will call out to them, ‘This is the Garden you have been given as your own on account of your deeds.’ 7:43

The people of the Garden will cry out to the people of the Fire, ‘We have found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true?’ and they will answer, ‘Yes’. A voice will proclaim from their midst, ‘God’s rejection [hangs] over the evildoers:7:44

those who turned others away from God’s path and tried to make it crooked, those who denied the Hereafter.’7:45

A barrier divides the two groups with men on its heights recognizing each group by their marks: they will call out to the people of the Garden, ‘Peace be with you!’- they will not have entered, but they will be hoping,7:46

and when their glance falls upon the people of the Fire, they will say, ‘Our Lord, do not let us join the evildoers!’- Surah Al-A'raf

—

Those who believe, who migrated and strove hard in God’s way with their possessions and their persons, are in God’s eyes much higher in rank; it is they who will triumph;9:20

and their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and pleasure, Gardens where they will have lasting bliss

and where they will remain for ever: truly, there is a tremendous reward with God. 9:22

Their prayer in them will be, ‘Glory be to You, God!’ their greeting, ‘Peace,’ and the last part of their prayer, ‘Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.’

—

Every soul will taste death and you will be paid in full only on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is kept away from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have triumphed. The present world is only an illusory pleasure:3:185

you are sure to be tested through your possessions and persons; you are sure to hear much that is hurtful from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with God. If you are steadfast and mindful of God, that is the best course.3:186 [ Surah Ali 'Imran ]

—

everlasting Gardens which they enter, along with whoever was righteous of their forefathers and their spouses and their offspring(s) , while the angels enter upon them from every gate. 13:23

‘Peace be with you, because you have remained steadfast. What an excellent reward is this home of yours!’13:24

—

The likeness of the Garden promised to those mindful(of God) : rivers flow beneath it; its crops are perpetual, and so is its shade. Such is the ultimate outcome for those who were mindful, while the ultimate outcome for the deniers is the Fire.13:35 Surah Ar-Ra'd

—

but those who believed and did good deeds will be brought into Gardens graced with flowing streams, there to remain with their Lord’s permission: their greeting there is ‘Peace’.

14:23

[Prophet], do you not see how God makes comparisons? A good word is like a good tree whose root is firm and whose branches are high in the sky, 14:24 [ Surah Ibrahim ]

yielding constant fruit by its Lord’s leave- God makes such comparisons for people so that they may reflect-

—

But the righteous will be in Gardens with springs- 15:45

“Enter them in peace and safety!”––

and We shall remove any bitterness from their hearts: [they will be like] brothers, sitting on couches, face to face.

No weariness will ever touch them there, nor will they ever be expelled.’15:48 [ Surah Al-Hijr ]

[Prophet], tell My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,

—

But when the righteous are asked, ‘What has your Lord sent down?’ they will say, ‘All that is good.’ There is a reward in this present world for those who do good, but their home in the Hereafter is far better: the home of the righteous is excellent. 16:30

They will enter perpetual Gardens graced with flowing streams. There they will have everything they wish. This is the way God rewards the righteous, 16:31

those whose lives the angels take in a state of goodness. They will say to them, ‘Peace be upon you. Enter the Garden as a reward for what you have done.’

—

What you have runs out but what God has endures, and We shall certainly reward those who remain steadfast according to the best of their actions.16:96

To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions.16:97

But your Lord will be most forgiving and most merciful to those who leave their homes after persecution, then strive and remain steadfast.16:110

On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, every soul will be paid in full for all its actions- they will not be wronged. 16:111 [ Surah An-Nahl ]

CREATION IN THE QURAN 🌹

Creation in the Quran 🌹

Praise belongs to God who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light; yet the disbelievers set up equals to their Lord! 6:1 [ Surah Al-An'am ]

He is the one who created you from clay and specified a term [for you] and another fixed time, known only to Him; yet still you doubt! 6:2

He is God in the heavens and on earth, He knows your secrets and what you reveal, and He knows what you do;

—

Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from God: 3:5

it is He who shapes you all in the womb as He pleases. There is no God but Him, the Mighty, the Wise: 3:6

—

People, be mindful of your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and from it created its mate, and from the pair of them spread countless men and women far and wide; be mindful of God, in whose name you make requests of one another. Beware of severing the ties of kinship: God is always watching over you. 4:1 [ Surah An-Nisa ]

sends down rain

It is God who splits open the seed and the fruit stone: He brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living- that is God- so how can you turn away from the truth?

6:95

He makes the dawn break; He makes the night for rest; and He made the sun and the moon to a precise measure. That is the design of the Almighty, the All Knowing.6:96

It is He who made the stars, so that they can guide you when land and sea are dark: We have made the signs clear for those who have knowledge.

It is He who first produced you from a single soul, then gave you a place to stay [in life] and a resting place [after death]. We have made Our revelations clear to those who understand.6:98

It is He who sends down water from the sky. With it We produce the shoots of each plant, then bring greenery from it, and from that We bring out grains, one riding on the other in close-packed rows. From the date palm come clusters of low-hanging dates, and there are gardens of vines, olives, and pomegranates, alike yet different. Watch their fruits as they grow and ripen! In all this there are signs for those who would believe.6:99 [ Surah Al-An'am ]

—

We established you [people] on the earth and provided you with a means of livelihood there––small thanks you give!

7:10

We created you, We gave you shape, and then We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ and they did. But not Iblis: he was not one of those who bowed down. 7:11

—

Your Lord is God, who created the heavens and earth in six Days, then established Himself on the throne; He makes the night cover the day in swift pursuit; He created the sun, moon, and stars to be subservient to His command; all creation and command belong to Him. Exalted be God, Lord of all the worlds! 7:54

Call on your Lord humbly and privately- He does not like those who transgress His bounds:

do not corrupt the earth after it has been set right- call on Him fearing and hoping. The mercy of God is close to those who do good. 7:56

It is God who sends the winds, bearing good news of His coming grace, and when they have gathered up the heavy clouds, We drive them to a dead land where We cause rain to fall, bringing out all kinds of crops, just as We shall bring out the dead. Will you not reflect? 7:57

Vegetation comes out of good land in abundance, by the will of its Lord, but out of bad land only scantily: We explain Our Revelations in various ways to those who give thanks.

—

whoever God guides is truly guided, and whoever God allows to stray is a loser.7:178

We have created many jinn and people who are destined for Hell, with hearts they do not use for comprehension, eyes they do not use for sight, ears they do not use for hearing. They are like cattle, no, even further astray: these are the ones who are entirely heedless.7:179

The Most Excellent Names belong to God: use them to call on Him, and keep away from those who abuse them- they will be requited for what they do.

Among those We created are a group of people who guide with truth and act justly according to it. [ Surah Al-A'raf ]

—

Have they not contemplated the realm of the heavens and earth and all that God created, and that the end of their time might be near? What [other revelation] will they believe in if they do not believe in this? 7:185

—

It is He who created you all from one soul, and from it made its mate so that he might find comfort in her: when one [of them] lies with his wife and she conceives a light burden, going about freely, then grows heavy, they both pray to God, their Lord, ‘If You give us a good child we shall certainly be grateful,’7:189

and yet when He gives them a good child they ascribe some of what He has granted them to others.7:190 [ Surah Al-A'raf]

—

control of the heavens and earth belongs to God; He alone gives life and death; you have no ally or helper other than Him.9:116

—

Your Lord is God who created the heavens and earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne, governing everything; there is no one that can intercede with Him, unless He has first given permission: this is God your Lord so worship Him. How can you not take heed?10:3

It is to Him you shall all return––that is a true promise from God. It was He who created [you] in the first place, and He will do so again, so that He may justly reward those who believe and do good deeds. But the disbelievers will have a drink of scalding water, and agonizing torment, because they persistently disbelieved.10:4

It is He who made the sun a shining radiance and the moon a light, determining phases for it so that you might know the number of years and how to calculate time. God did not create all these without a true purpose; He explains His signs to those who understand.10:5

In the succession of night and day, and in what God created in the heavens and earth, there truly are signs for those who are aware of Him.

—

The life of this world is like this: rain that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which humans and animals eat. But when the earth has taken on its finest appearance, and adorns itself, and its people think they have power over it, then the fate We commanded comes to it, by night or by day, and We reduce it to stubble, as if it had not flourished just the day before. This is the way We explain the revelations for those who reflect.10:24

—

Say [Prophet], ‘Who provides for you from the sky and the earth? Who controls hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living, and who governs everything?’ They are sure to say, ‘God.’ Then say, ‘So why do you not take heed of Him? 10:31

That is God, your Lord, the Truth. Apart from the Truth, what is there except error? So how is it that you are dissuaded?’

10:32

It is to God that everything in the heavens and the earth truly belongs: God’s promise is true, but most people do not realize it.10:55

It is He who gives life and takes it, and you will all be returned to Him.10:56

—

indeed, all who are in the heavens and on the earth belong to Him. Those who call upon others beside God are not really following partner-gods; they are only following assumptions and telling lies.10:66

It is He who made the night so that you can rest in it and the daylight so that you can see- there truly are signs in this for those who hear.10:67 [ Surah Yunus ]

—

It is God who raised up the heavens with no visible supports and then established Himself on the throne; He has subjected the sun and the moon each to pursue its course for an appointed time; He regulates all things, and makes the revelations clear so that you may be certain of meeting your Lord; 13:2

it is He who spread out the earth, placed firm mountains and rivers on it, and made two of every kind of fruit; He draws the veil of night over the day. There truly are signs in this for people who reflect. 13:3

There are, in the land, neighbouring plots, gardens of vineyards, cornfields, palm trees in clusters or otherwise, all watered with the same water, yet We make some of them taste better than others: there truly are signs in this for people who reason. 13:4

If anything can amaze you [Prophet], then you should surely be amazed at their asking, ‘What? When we become dust, shall we be created anew?’ These are the ones who deny their Lord, who will wear iron collars around their necks and be the inhabitants of the Fire, there to remain. 13:5

—

It is He who shows you the lightning, inspiring fear and hope; He builds up the clouds heavy with rain;13:12

the thunder sounds His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him; He sends thunderbolts to strike whoever He will. Yet still they dispute about God- He has mighty plans.

The only true prayer is to Him: those they pray to besides Him give them no answer any more than water reaches the mouth of someone who simply stretches out his hands for it- it cannot do so: the prayers of the disbelievers are all in vain. 13:14

—

It is God who created the heavens and earth, who has sent down water from the sky and with it brought forth produce to nourish you; He has made ships useful to you, sailing the sea by His command, and the rivers too;14:32

He has made the sun and the moon useful to you, steady on their paths; He has made the night and day useful to you

and given you some of everything you asked Him for. If you tried to count God’s favours you could never calculate them: man is truly unjust and ungrateful.14:34 [ Surah Ibrahim ]

—

We have set constellations up in the sky and made it beautiful for all to see,15:16

and guarded it from every stoned satan:

As for the earth, We have spread it out, set firm mountains on it, and made everything grow there in due balance.

15:19

We have provided sustenance in it for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide.15:20

There is not a thing whose storehouses are not with Us. We send it down only according to a well-defined measure:

We send the winds to fertilize, and We bring down water from the sky for you to drink- you do not control its sources.

15:22

It is We who give life and death; it is We who inherit [everything].

We know exactly those of you who come first and those who come later.15:24

[Prophet], it is your Lord who will gather them all together: He is all wise, all knowing.

We created man out of dried clay formed from dark mud-

15:26

the jinn We created before, from the fire of scorching wind.

Your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a mortal out of dried clay, formed from dark mud. 15:28

When I have fashioned him and breathed My spirit into him, bow down before him,’

and the angels all did so.15:30

We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them without a true purpose: the Hour will certainly come, so [Prophet] bear with them graciously. 15:85

Your Lord is the All Knowing Creator.

We have given you the seven oft-recited versesand the whole glorious Quran.15:87

Do not look longingly at the good things We have given some to enjoy. Do not grieve over the [disbelievers], but lower your wings over the believers

and say, ‘I am here to give plain warning,’ 15:89 [ Surah Al-Hijr ]

—

The command of Allah is at hand, so do not hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him in worship˺!16:1

He sends down the angels with revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants, ˹stating:˺ “Warn ˹humanity˺ that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Me, so be mindful of Me ˹alone˺.”16:2

He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺!

He created humans from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ˹Him˺.16:4

And He created the cattle for you as a source of warmth, food, and ˹many other˺ benefits.

They are also pleasing to you when you bring them home and when you take them out to graze.16:6

They carry your loads to lands you yourselves could not reach without great hardship––truly your Lord is kind and merciful––

horses, mules, and donkeys for you to ride and use for show, and other things you know nothing about.16:8

God points out the right path, for some paths lead the wrong way: if He wished, He could guide you all.16:9

It is He who sends down water for you from the sky, from which comes a drink for you, and the shrubs that you feed to your animals.

With it He grows for you grain, olives, palms, vines, and all kinds of other crops. There truly is a sign in this for those who reflect.16:11

By His command He has made the night and day, the sun, moon, and stars all of benefit to you. There truly are signs in this for those who use their reason.16:12

He has made of benefit to you the many-coloured things He has multiplied on the earth. There truly are signs in this for those who take it to heart.

It is He who made the sea of benefit to you: you eat fresh fish from it and bring out jewellery to wear; you see the ships cutting through its waves so that you may go in search of His bounty and give thanks.16:14

He has made mountains stand firm on the earth, to prevent it shaking under you, and rivers and paths so that you may find your way,

and landmarks and stars to guide people.

Can He who creates be compared to one who cannot create? Why do you not take heed? 16:17

If you tried to count God’s blessings, you could never take them all in: He is truly most forgiving and most merciful.

He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.16:19

Those they invoke beside God create nothing; they are themselves created.

They are dead, not living. They do not know when they will be raised up.16:21

Your God is the One God. As for those who deny the life to come, their hearts refuse to admit the truth and they are arrogant.16:22

—

When We will something to happen, all that We say is, ‘Be,’ and it is.16:40

As for those who emi-grated in God’s cause after being wronged, We shall give them a good home in this world, but the reward of the Hereafter will be far greater, if they only knew it.

They are the ones who are steadfast and put their trust in their Lord.16:42

[Prophet], all the messengers We sent before you were simply men to whom We had given the Revelation: you [people] can ask those who have knowledge if you do not know.

—

Do the [disbelievers] not observe the things that God has created, casting their shadows right and left, submitting themselves to God obediently?16:48

It is to God that everything in the heavens and earth submits, every beast that moves, even the angels- they are free from arrogance:

they fear their Lord above them, and they do as they are commanded.16:50

—

We have sent down the Scripture to you only to make clear to them what they differ about, and as guidance and mercy to those who believe.16:64

It is God who sends water down from the sky and with it revives the earth when it is dead. There truly is a sign in this for people who listen.16:65

In livestock, too, you have a lesson- We give you a drink from the contents of their bellies, between waste matter and blood, pure milk, sweet to the drinker.

From the fruits of date palms and grapes you take sweet juice and wholesome provisions. There truly is a sign in this for people who use their reason.16:67

And your Lord inspired the bee, saying, ‘Build yourselves houses in the mountains and trees and what people construct.

Then feed on all kinds of fruit and follow the ways made easy for you by your Lord.’ From their bellies comes a drink of different colours in which there is healing for people. There truly is a sign in this for those who think.16:69

It is God who has created you and in time will cause you to die. Some of you will be reduced, in old age, to a most abject state, so that, after having knowledge, they will know nothing at all: God is truly all knowing and all powerful.

16:70

God has given some of you more provision than others. Those who have been given more are unwilling to pass their provision on to the slaves they possess so that they become their equals. How can they refuse to acknowledge God’s blessings?16:71

And it is God who has given you spouses from amongst yourselves and through them He has given you children and grandchildren and provided you with good things. How can they believe in falsehood and deny God’s blessings?

Those they worship beside God have no power to provide anything for them from the heavens or the earth: they can do nothing.16:73

—

All that is hidden from view in the heavens and earth belongs to God. The coming of the Hour of Judgement is like the blink of an eye, or even quicker: God has power over everything.16:77

It is God who brought you out of your mothers’ wombs knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and minds, so that you might be thankful.

Do they not see the birds made to fly through the air in the sky? Nothing holds them up except God. There truly are signs in this for those who believe.16:79

It is God who has given you a place of rest in your homes and from the skins of animals made you homes that you find light [to handle] when you travel and when you set up camp; furnishings and comfort for a while from their wool, fur, and hair.

It is God who has given you shade from what He has created, and places of shelter in the mountains; garments to protect you from the heat, and garments to protect you in your wars. In this way He perfects His blessings on you, so that you may devote yourselves to Him.16:81

But if they turn away [Prophet], your only duty is to deliver the message clearly.

—

So eat of the good and lawful things God has provided for you and be thankful for His blessings, if it is Him that you worship.16:114 [ Surah An-Nahl ]

—

We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.17:12

Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: On the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.

—

[Prophet], they ask you about the Spirit. Say, ‘The Spirit is part of my Lord’s domain. You have only been given a little knowledge.’17:85

If We pleased, We could take away what We have revealed to you- then you would find no one to plead for you against Us-

if it were not for your Lord’s mercy: His favour to you has been truly great.17:87

—

Do they not see that God, who created the heavens and earth, can create the likes of them [anew]? He has ordained a time for them- there is no doubt about that- but the evildoers refuse everything except disbelief.17:99

Say, ‘If you possessed the very stores of my Lord’s bounty, you would hold them back in your fear of spending: man is ever grudging.’

—

They also say, ‘What? When we are turned to bones and dust, shall we really be raised up in a new act of creation?’

17:49

Say, ‘[Yes] even if you were [as hard as] stone, or iron,

17:50

or any other substance you think hard to bring to life.’ Then they will say, ‘Who will bring us back?’ Say, ‘The One who created you the first time.’ Then they will shake their heads at you and say, ‘When will that be?’ Say, ‘It may well be very soon:

it will be the Day when He calls you, and you answer by praising Him, and you think you have stayed [on earth] only a little while.’ 17:52 [ Surah Al-Isra ]

—

We have adorned the earth with attractive things so that We may test people to find out which of them do best, 18:7

but We shall reduce all this to barren dust.

—

His companion retorted, ‘Have you no faith in Him who created you from dust, from a small drop of fluid, then shaped you into a man?18:37

But, for me, He is God, my Lord, and I will never set up any partner with Him.18:38

—

In that situation, the only protection is that of God, the True God: He gives the best rewards and the best outcome.

Tell them, too, what the life of this world is like: We send water down from the skies and the earth’s vegetation absorbs it, but soon the plants turn to dry stubble scattered about by the wind: God has power over everything.18:45

—

One day We shall make the mountains move, and you will see the earth as an open plain. We shall gather all people together, leaving no one.18:47

They will be lined up before your Lord: ‘Now you have come to Us as We first created you, although you claimed We had not made any such appointment for you.’

—

I did not make them witnesses to the creation of the heavens and earth, nor to their own creation; I do not take as My supporters those who lead others astray.18:51 [ Surah Al-Kahf ]

—

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is. 2:117

—

It is He who created the heavens and the earth for a true purpose. On the Day when He says, ‘Be,’ it will be: His word is the truth. All control on the Day the Trumpet is blown belongs to Him. He knows the seen and the unseen: He is the All Wise, the All Aware. 6:73 [ Surah Al-An'am ]

—

Allah (God) knows what every female bears, and how some wombs may miscarry or else may wait too long. Everything has its measure with Him; 13:8

Knowing the Unseen and the Visible, [He is] the Great, the Exalted!

It is all the same for you whether one of you is secretive about what he says or speaks out about it, and whether one keeps to himself night and struts around by day: 13:10

[ Surah Ar-Ra'd ]

He sends water from the sky that fills riverbeds to overflowing, each according to its measure. The stream carries on its surface a growing layer of froth, like the froth that appears when people melt metals in the fire to make ornaments and tools: in this way God illustrates truth and falsehood- the froth disappears, but what is of benefit to man stays behind- this is how God makes illustrations. 13:17

There will be the best of rewards for those who respond to their Lord; those who do not respond would willingly give away the earth’s contents twice over, if they had it, in order to ransom themselves, so terrible will be their reckoning. Hell will be their home, and their bed wretched.13:18

PRAYER _ HELP THE POOR AND ORPHANS IN QURAN 🌹

prayer _ Worship _ Help the poor _ Helping orphans in Quran 🌹

Keep up the prayer, pay the prescribed alms, and bow your heads [in worship] with those who bow theirs. 2:43

Do you command mankind to benignancy and forget yourselves, and you recite the Book? Do you then not consider? 2:44

And seek help in patience and prayer; and surely it is indeed great (i.e., formidable, hard) except for the submissive. 2:45

Who expect that they are meeting their Lord and that to Him they are returning. 2:46

—

Remember when We took a pledge from the Children of Israel: ‘Worship none but God; be good to your parents and kinsfolk, to orphans and the poor; speak good words to all people; keep up the prayer and pay the prescribed alms.’ Then all but a few of you turned away and paid no heed.

2:83

—

And keep up the prayer and bring the Zakat, (i.e., pay the poor-dues) and whatever charity you forward for yourselves, you will find it in the Providence of Allah; surely Allah is Ever-Beholding of whatever you do. 2:110

—

And who is more unjust than he who prevents (praying in) the mosques of Allah so that His Name be not mentioned in them, and endeavors (diligently) for their ruin? Those can in no way enter them except in fear, for them is disgrace in the present life (Literally: The lowly, i.e., the life of this world) and in the Hereafter they will have a tremendous torment. 2:114

—

So, remember Me, (and) I will remember you; and give thanks to Me; and do not disbelieve Me. 2:152

O you who have believed, seek help in patience and prayer; surely Allah is with the patient.

—

It is not benignancy that you turn your faces around in the direction of East and West; but benignancy is (in him) who believes in Allah, and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Prophets, and brings wealth in spite of his love for it (Or: offers out of love for Him) to near kinsmen, and the orphans, and the indigent, and the wayfarer, and the beggars, and (to ransom) necks, (i.e. captives "slaves") and keeps up the prayer, and bring the Zakat, (i.e. pay the poor-dues) and they who fulfil their covenant when they have covenanted, and the patient (ones) in misery and tribulation, and while in violence; (i.e. during fighting) those are (they) who act sincerely, and those are they who are the pious. 2:177

—

Spend in God’s cause: do not contribute to your destruction with your own hands, but do good, for God loves those who do good. 2:195

—

on this world and the next. They ask you about [the property of] orphans: say, ‘It is good to set things right for them. If you combine their affairs with yours, remember they are your brothers and sisters: God knows those who spoil things and those who improve them. Had He so willed, He could have made you vulnerable too: He is almighty and wise.’ 2|220

—

Take care to do your prayers, praying in the best way, and stand before God in devotion. 2:238

If you are in danger, pray when you are out walking or riding; when you are safe again, remember God, for He has taught you what you did not know. 2:239

—

You who believe, give from what We have provided for you, before the Day comes when there is no bargaining, no friendship, and no intercession. It is the disbelievers who are wrong. 2:254

—

The likeness of (the ones) who expend their riches in the way of Allah is as the likeness of a grain that grows seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. And Allah gives manifoldly to whomever He decides; and Allah is Ever-Embracing, Ever-Knowing. 2:261

Those who spend their wealth in God’s cause, and do not follow their spending with reminders of their benevolence or hurtful words, will have their rewards with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 2:262

A kind word and forgiveness is better than a charitable deed followed by hurtful [words]: God is self-sufficient, forbearing.

2:263

You who believe, do not cancel out your charitable deeds with reminders and hurtful words, like someone who spends his wealth only to be seen by people, not believing in God and the Last Day. Such a person is like a rock with earth on it: heavy rain falls and leaves it completely bare. Such people get no rewards for their works: God does not guide the disbelievers. 2:264

But those who spend their wealth in order to gain God’s approval, and as an affirmation of their own faith, are like a garden on a hill: heavy rain falls and it produces double its normal yield; even if no heavy rain falls, it will still be watered by the dew. God sees all that you do. 2:265

Would any of you like to have a garden of palm trees and vines, graced with flowing streams and all kinds of produce, which, when you are afflicted with old age and feeble offspring, is struck by a fiery whirlwind and burnt down? In this way God makes His messages clear to you, so that you may reflect on them.2:266

You who believe, give charitably from the good things you have acquired and that We have produced for you from the earth. Do not give away the bad things that you yourself would only accept with your eyes closed: remember that God is self-sufficient, worthy of all praise.2:267

—

Whatever you may give, or vow to give, God knows it well, and those who do wrong will have no one to help them.

2:270

If you give charity openly, it is good, but if you keep it secret and give to the needy in private, that is better for you, and it will atone for some of your bad deeds: God is well aware of all that you do.2:271

It is not for you [Prophet] to guide them; it is God who guides whoever He will. Whatever charity you give benefits your own soul, provided you do it for the sake of God: whatever you give will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged. 2:272

[Give] to those needy who are wholly occupied in God’s way and cannot travel in the land [for trade]. The unknowing might think them rich because of their self-restraint, but you will recognize them by their characteristic of not begging persistently. God is well aware of any good you give.2:273

Those who give, out of their own possessions, by night and by day, in private and in public, will have their reward with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 2:274

But those who take usury will rise up on the Day of Resurrection like someone tormented by Satan’s touch. That is because they say, ‘Trade and usury are the same,’ but God has allowed trade and forbidden usury. Whoever, on receiving God’s warning, stops taking usury may keep his past gains- God will be his judge- but whoever goes back to usury will be an inhabitant of the Fire, there to remain.2:275

God blights usury, but blesses charitable deeds with multiple increase: He does not love the ungrateful sinner.

Those who believe, do good deeds, keep up the prayer, and pay the prescribed alms will have their reward with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 2:277

You who believe, beware of God: give up any outstanding dues from usury, if you are true believers. 2:278

—

If the debtor is in difficulty, then delay things until matters become easier for him; still, if you were to write it off as an act of charity, that would be better for you, if only you knew.

2:280

Beware of a Day when you will be returned to God: every soul will be paid in full for what it has earned, and no one will be wronged. 2:281 { Surah Al-Baqarah }

—

those who say, “Our Lord, we believe, so forgive us our sins and protect us from suffering in the Fire,” 3:16 { Surah Ali 'Imran}

those who are steadfast, truthful, truly devout, who give [in God’s cause] and pray before dawn for forgiveness.’3:17

—

None of you [believers] will attain true piety unless you give out of what you cherish: whatever you give, God knows about it very well.3:92

—

Be a community that calls for what is good, urges what is right, and forbids what is wrong: those who do this are the successful ones.3:104

—

who give, both in prosperity and adversity, who restrain their anger and pardon people- God loves those who do good-

those who remember God and implore forgiveness for their sins if they do something shameful or wrong themselves- who forgives sins but God?- and who never knowingly persist in doing wrong.3:135

—

Give orphans their wealth ˹when they reach maturity˺, and do not exchange your worthless possessions for their valuables, nor cheat them by mixing their wealth with your own. For this would indeed be a great sin.4:2 [ Surah An-Nisa ]

—

Do not entrust the incapable ˹among your dependants˺ with your wealth which Allah has made a means of support for you—but feed and clothe them from it, and speak to them kindly. 4:5

Test ˹the competence of˺ the orphans until they reach a marriageable age. Then if you feel they are capable of sound judgment, return their wealth to them. And do not consume it wastefully and hastily before they grow up ˹to demand it˺. If the guardian is well-off, they should not take compensation; but if the guardian is poor, let them take a reasonable provision. When you give orphans back their property, call in witnesses. And sufficient is Allah as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner.4:6

—

If other relatives, orphans, or needy people are present at the distribution, give them something too, and speak kindly to them.4:8

Let those who would fear for the future of their own helpless children, if they were to die, show the same concern [for orphans]; let them be mindful of God and speak out for justice.4:9

Those who consume the property of orphans unjustly are actually swallowing fire into their own bellies: they will burn in the blazing Flame.4:10

—

Worship God; join nothing with Him. Be good to your parents, to relatives, to orphans, to the needy, to neighbours near and far, to travellers in need, and to your slaves. God does not like arrogant, boastful people, 4:36

—

[Nor does He like those] who spend their wealth to show off, who do not believe in Him or the Last Day. Whoever has Satan as his companion has an evil companion! 4:38

What harm would it do them to believe in God and the Last Day, and give charitably from the sustenance God has given them? God knows them well.4:39

He does not wrong anyone by as much as the weight of a speck of dust: He doubles any good deed and gives a tremendous reward of His own.4:40

—

You who believe, do not come anywhere near the prayer if you are intoxicated, not until you know what you are saying; nor if you are in a state of major ritual impurity- though you may pass through the mosque- not until you have bathed; if you are ill, on a journey, have relieved yourselves, or had intercourse, and cannot find any water, then find some clean sand and wipe your faces and hands with it. God is always ready to pardon and forgive.4:43

—

Whoever speaks for a good cause will share in its benefits and whoever speaks for a bad cause will share in its burden: God controls everything.4:85

—

When you [believers] are travelling in the land, you will not be blamed for shortening your prayers, if you fear the disbelievers may harm you: they are your sworn enemies.

4:101

When you [Prophet] are with the believers, leading them in prayer, let a group of them stand up in prayer with you, taking their weapons with them, and when they have finished their prostration, let them take up their positions at the back. Then let the other group, who have not yet prayed, pray with you, also on their guard and armed with their weapons: the disbelievers would dearly like you to be heedless of your weapons and baggage, in order for them to take you in a single assault. You will not be blamed if you lay aside your arms when you are overtaken by heavy rain or illness, but be on your guard. Indeed, God has prepared a humiliating punishment for the disbelievers. 4:102

—

After performing the ritual prayer, continue to remember God- standing, sitting, and lying on your sides- and once you are safe, keep up regular prayer, for prayer is obligatory for the believers at prescribed times.4:103

—

In most of their secret talks there is no good: But if one exhorts to a deed of charity or justice or conciliation between men, (Secrecy is permissible): To him who does this, seeking the good pleasure of Allah, We shall soon give a reward of the highest (value).4:114

—

They ask you [Prophet] for a ruling about women. Say, ‘God Himself gives you a ruling about them. You already have what has been recited to you in the Scripture about orphan girls [in your charge] from whom you withhold the prescribed shares [of their inheritance] and whom you wish to marry, and also about helpless children- God instructs you to treat orphans fairly: He is well aware of whatever good you do.’4:127

—

But those of them who are well grounded in knowledge and have faith do believe in what has been revealed to you [Muhammad], and in what was revealed before you- those who perform the prayers, pay the prescribed alms, and believe in God and the Last Day- to them We shall give a great reward.4:162

—

The Messiah would never disdain to be a servant of God, nor would the angels who are close to Him. He will gather before Him all those who disdain His worship and are arrogant:

4:172

to those who believe and do good works He will give due rewards and more of His bounty; to those who are disdainful and arrogant He will give an agonizing torment, and they will find no one besides God to protect or help them.4:173

—

You who believe, uphold justice and bear witness to God, even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or your close relatives. Whether the person is rich or poor, God can best take care of both. Refrain from following your own desire, so that you can act justly- if you distort or neglect justice, God is fully aware of what you do. 4:135 [ Surah An-Nisa ]

—

You who believe, when you are about to pray, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, wipe your heads, wash your feet up to the ankles and, if required, wash your whole body. If any of you is sick or on a journey, or has just relieved himself, or had intimate contact with a woman, and can find no water, then take some clean sand and wipe your face and hands with it. God does not wish to place any burden on you: He only wishes to cleanse you and perfect His blessing on you, so that you may be thankful.5:6

Remember God’s blessing on you and the pledge with which you were bound when you said, ‘We hear and we obey.’ Be mindful of God: God has full knowledge of the secrets of the heart.5:7 [Surah Al-Ma'idah]

—

God took a pledge from the Children of Israel. We made twelve leaders arise among them, and God said, ‘I am with you: if you keep up the prayer, pay the prescribed alms, believe in My messengers and support them, and lend God a good loan, I will wipe out your sins and admit you into Gardens graced with flowing streams. Any of you who now ignore this [pledge] will be far from the right path.’ 5:12

But they broke their pledge, so We distanced them [from Us] and hardened their hearts. They distort the meaning of [revealed] words and have forgotten some of what they were told to remember: you [Prophet] will always find treachery in all but a few of them. Overlook this and pardon them: God loves those who do good.5:13

—

Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain? 5:91

—

Say [Prophet], ‘Bad cannot be likened to good, though you may be dazzled by how abundant the bad is. Be mindful of God, people of understanding, so that you may prosper.’

5:100

—

Use the Quran to warn those who fear being gathered before their Lord- they will have no one but Him to protect them and no one to intercede- so that they may beware.6:51

Do not drive away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking nothing but His Face. You are in no way accountable for them, nor they for you; if you drove the believers away, you would become one of the evildoers.

6:52

—

When those come to thee who believe in Our signs, Say: "Peace be on you: Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.6:54

—

to establish regular prayers and be mindful of Him.’ It is to Him that you will all be gathered.6:72

—

Avoid committing sin, whether openly or in secret, for those who commit sin will be repaid for what they do, 6:120

[Surah Al-An'am ]

—

Say, ‘Come! I will tell you what your Lord has really forbidden you. Do not ascribe anything as a partner to Him; be good to your parents; do not kill your children in fear of poverty’- We will provide for you and for them- ‘ stay well away from committing obscenities, whether openly or in secret; do not take the life God has made sacred, except by right. This is what He commands you to do: perhaps you will use your reason. 6:151

Stay well away from the property of orphans, except with the best [intentions], until they come of age; give full measure and weight, according to justice’- We do not burden any soul with more than it can bear- ‘ when you speak, be just, even if it concerns a relative; keep any promises you make in God’s name. This is what He commands you to do, so that you may take heed’-6:152

this is My path, leading straight, so follow it, and do not follow other ways: they will lead you away from it- ‘ This is what He commands you to do, so that you may refrain from wrongdoing.’6:153

—

Say, ‘My Lord commands righteousness. Direct your worship straight to Him wherever you pray; call on Him; devote your religion entirely to Him. Just as He first created you, so you will come back [to life] again.’ 7:29 [ Surah Al-A'raf ]

—

Call on your Lord humbly and privately- He does not like those who transgress His bounds:7:55

do not corrupt the earth after it has been set right- call on Him fearing and hoping. The mercy of God is close to those who do good.7:56

—

Among those We created are a group of people who guide with truth and act justly according to it.7:181

—

so pay attention and listen quietly when the Quran is recited, so that you may be given mercy.’7:204

[Prophet], remember your Lord inwardly, in all humility and awe, without raising your voice, in the mornings and in the evenings- do not be one of the heedless-7:205

[even] those who live in the presence of your Lord are not too proud to worship Him: they glorify Him and bow down before Him.7:206

—

Be aware that your possessions and your children are only a test, and that there is a tremendous reward with God.

8:28 [ Surah Al-Anfal ]

Believers, if you remain mindful of God, He will give you a criterion [to tell right from wrong] and wipe out your bad deeds, and forgive you: God’s favour is great indeed.8:29

—

Their prayers before the House are nothing but whistling and clapping. ‘So taste the punishment for your disbelief.’8:35

—

but if they pay no heed, be sure that God is your protector, the best protector and the best helper. 8:40

Know that one-fifth of your battle gains belongs to God and the Messenger, to close relatives and orphans, to the needy and travellers, if you believe in God and the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the day of the decision, the day when the two forces met in battle. God has power over all things. 8:41

Say, “Nothing will befall us except what Allah has prescribed for us; He is our Patron. And in Allah let the believers place their trust.” 9:51

Say, “Whether you spend willingly or reluctantly, it will not be accepted from you; indeed, you have been a defiantly disobedient people.”9:53

Yet nothing has prevented them from their contributions being accepted except that they have denied Allah and His Messenger, and that they do not approach the prayer except lazily, and that they do not spend except grudgingly.9:54

—

Alms are meant only for the poor, the needy, those who administer them, those whose hearts need winning over, to free slaves and help those in debt, for God’s cause, and for travellers in need. This is ordained by God; God is all knowing and wise.9:60

—

The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.9:71

—

But the Messenger and those who have attained faith with him have striven with their wealths and themselves. And for those there is all what is good, and those are the successful ones. 9:88

—

but there is no blame attached to the weak, the sick, and those who have no means to spend, provided they are true to God and His Messenger- there is no reason to reproach those who do good: God is most forgiving and merciful.

9:91

And there is no blame attached to those who came to you [Prophet] for riding animals and to whom you said, ‘I cannot find a mount for you’: they turned away with their eyes overflowing with tears of grief that they had nothing they could contribute.9:92

—

Of their goods, take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth 9:103

Know they not that Allah doth accept repentance from His votaries and receives their gifts of charity, and that Allah is verily He, the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful? 9:104

And say: "Work (righteousness): Soon will Allah observe your work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: Soon will ye be brought back to the knower of what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did."

9:106

—

Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance; that serve Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the cause of Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limit set by Allah;- (These do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers. 9:112

—

In His mercy God has turned to the Prophet, and the emigrants and helpers who followed him in the hour of adversity when some hearts almost wavered: He has turned to them; He is most kind and merciful to them. 9:117

—

if they spend a little or a lot for God’s cause, if they traverse a mountain pass, all this is recorded to their credit so that God can reward them in accordance with the best of their deeds.

9:121

—

But as for those who believe and do good deeds, their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Streams will flow at their feet in the Gardens of Bliss. 10:9

Their prayer in them will be, ‘Glory be to You, God!’ their greeting, ‘Peace,’ and the last part of their prayer, ‘Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.’ 10:10

If God were to hasten on for people the harm [they have earned] as they wish to hasten on the good, their time would already be up. But We leave those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their excesses. 10:11

When trouble befalls man he cries out to Us, whether lying on his side, sitting, or standing, but as soon as We relieve him of his trouble he goes on his way as if he had never cried out to Us to remove his trouble. In this way the deeds of such heedless people are made attractive to them.10:12 [ Surah Yunus ]

—

God commands you [people] to return things entrusted to you to their rightful owners, and, if you judge between people, to do so with justice: God’s instructions to you are excellent, for He hears and sees everything. 4:58

You who believe, obey God and the Messenger, and those in authority among you. If you are in dispute over any matter, refer it to God and the Messenger, if you truly believe in God and the Last Day: that is better and fairer in the end.4:59

—

but We shall admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens graced with flowing streams, there to remain for ever––a true promise from God. Who speaks more truly than God? 4:122

—

But there are also some desert Arabs who believe in God and the Last Day and consider their contributions as bringing them nearer to God and the prayers of the Messenger: they will indeed bring them nearer and God will admit them to His mercy. God is most forgiving and merciful. 9:99

—

How desperate and ungrateful man becomes when We let him taste Our mercy and then withhold it! 11:9

And if We let him taste mercy after some harm has touched him, he is sure to say, ‘Misfortune has gone away from me.’ He becomes exultant and boastful.

Not so those who are steadfast and do good deeds: they will have forgiveness and a great reward.11:11

—

[Prophet], keep up the prayer at both ends of the day, and during parts of the night, for good things drive bad away- this is a reminder for those who are aware.11:114

Be steadfast: God does not let the rewards of those who do good go to waste.

If only there had been, among the generations before your time, people with a rem-nant of good sense, to forbid corruption on the earth! We saved only a few of them, while the unjust pursued the enjoyment of plenty, and persisted in sin.11:116

—

The only true prayer is to Him: those they pray to besides Him give them no answer any more than water reaches the mouth of someone who simply stretches out his hands for it- it cannot do so: the prayers of the disbelievers are all in vain.13:14

All that are in heaven and earth submit to God alone, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the mornings and in the evenings.13:15

—

those who fulfil the agreements they make in God’s name and do not break their pledges;13:20

who join together what God commands to be joined; who are in awe of their Lord and fear the harshness of the Reckoning;

who remain steadfast through their desire for the face of their Lord; who keep up the prayer; who give secretly and openly from what We have provided for them; who repel evil with good. These will have the reward of the [true] home:

13:22

—

those who believe and do righteous deeds: joy awaits these, and their final homecoming will be excellent.’13:29

—

Remember that He promised, “If you are thankful, I will give you more, but if you are thankless, My punishment is terrible indeed.” ’14:7

—

[Prophet], do you not see how God makes comparisons? A good word is like a good tree whose root is firm and whose branches are high in the sky,14:24

yielding constant fruit by its Lord’s leave- God makes such comparisons for people so that they may reflect-

—

Tell My servants who have believed to keep up the prayer and give, secretly and in public, out of what We have provided them, before a Day comes when there will be no trading or friendship.14:31 [ Surah Ibrahim ]

—

Celebrate the glory of your Lord and be among those who bow down to Him:15:98

worship your Lord until what is certain comes to you.

—

Praise be to Allah Who has sent down upon His bondman the Book and has not made to it any crookedness;18:1

Most upright, to warn of strict violence from very close to Him, and to give good tidings to the believers who do very deeds of righteousness that they will have a fair reward,

18:2 Staying therein forever.

—

[Prophet], follow what has been revealed to you of your Lord’s Scripture: there is no changing His words, nor can you find any refuge except with Him.18:27

Content yourself with those who pray to their Lord morning and evening, seeking His approval, and do not let your eyes turn away from them out of desire for the attractions of this worldly life: do not yield to those whose hearts We have made heedless of Our Quran, those who follow their own low desires, those whose ways are unbridled.18:28

—

As for those who believe and do good deeds- We do not let the reward of anyone who does a good deed go to waste-

18:30

—

Wealth and children are the attractions of this worldly life, but lasting good works have a better reward with your Lord and give better grounds for hope.18:46

—

while those who believed and did good deeds will have the best of rewards: we shall command them to do what is easy for them.’18:88 [ Surah Al-Kahf ]

—

The day will come when We raise up in each community a witness against them, and We shall bring you [Prophet] as a witness against these people, for We have sent the Scripture down to you explaining everything, and as guidance and mercy and good news to those who devote themselves to God.16:89

God commands justice, doing good, and generosity towards relatives and He forbids what is shameful, blameworthy, and oppressive. He teaches you, so that you may take heed.16:90

Fulfil any pledge you make in God’s name and do not break oaths after you have sworn them, for you have made God your surety: God knows everything you do.

—

What you have runs out but what God has endures, and We shall certainly reward those who remain steadfast according to the best of their actions.16:96

To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions.16:97 [Surah An-Nahl ]

— Night prayer _ Quran 🌹

They used to slumber (only) little of the night; 51:17

And before dawn, it is they (who) would seek forgiveness.

And in their riches, the beggar and the dispossessed have what is truthfully their due. 51:19 [ Surah Adh-Dhariyat ]

—

And (endure) patiently under the Judgment of your Lord, (for) then surely you are under Our Eyes, and extol with the praise (s) of your Lord when you rise up.

And for (part) of the night, then (also) extol Him, and at the with drawing of the stars. 52:49 [ Surah At-Tur ]

—

You who believe, when you come to speak privately with the Messenger, offer something in charity before your conversation: that is better for you and purer. If you do not have the means, God is most forgiving and merciful. 58:12 [ Surah Al-Mujadila ]

Were you afraid to give charity before consulting the Prophet? Since you did not give charity, and God has relented towards you, you should [at least] observe your prayers, pay the prescribed alms, and obey God and His Messenger: God is well aware of your actions.

—

Believers! When the call to prayer is made on the day of congregation, hurry towards the reminder of God and leave off your trading––that is better for you, if only you knew–– 62:9

then when the prayer has ended, disperse in the land and seek out God’s bounty. Remember God often so that you may prosper.

Yet they scatter towards trade or entertainment whenever they observe it, and leave you [Prophet] standing there. Say, ‘God’s gift is better than any entertainment or trade: God is the best provider.’

62:11 [ Surah Al-Jumu'ah ]

—

Not so those who pray 70:22

and are constant in their prayers;

who give a due share of their wealth

to beggars and the deprived;

who believe in the Day of Judgement

and fear the punishment of their Lord––

none may feel wholly secure from it––

—

Places of worship are for God alone- so do not pray to anyone other than God-72:18 [ Surah Al-Jinn ]

yet when God’s Servant stood up to pray to Him, they pressed in on him.

Say, ‘I pray to my Lord alone; I set up no partner with Him.’72:20

Say, ‘I have no control over any harm or good that may befall you.’

Say, ‘No one can protect me from God: I have no refuge except in Him.

—

O you wrapped ˹in your clothes˺!

Stand all night ˹in prayer˺ except a little—73:2

˹pray˺ half the night, or a little less,

or a little more—and recite the Quran ˹properly˺ in a measured way.

73:4

˹For˺ We will soon send upon you a weighty revelation.

Indeed, worship in the night is more impactful and suitable for recitation.

For during the day you are over-occupied ˹with worldly duties˺.

73:7

˹Always˺ remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.

˹He is the˺ Lord of the east and the west. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, so take Him ˹alone˺ as a Trustee of Affairs.

73:9 [ Surah Al-Muzzammil ]

—

Surely this is a reminder. So let whoever wills take the ˹Right˺ Way to their Lord.73:19

.[Prophet], your Lord is well aware that you sometimes spend nearly two-thirds of the night at prayer––sometimes half, sometimes a third––as do some of your followers. God determines the division of night and day. He knows that you will not be able to keep a measure of it and He has relented towards all of you, so recite as much of the Quran as is easy for you. He knows that some of you will be sick, some of you travelling through the land seeking God’s bounty, some of you fighting in God’s way: recite as much as is easy for you, keep up the prayer, pay the prescribed alms, and make God a good loan. Whatever good you store up for yourselves will be improved and increased for you. Ask God for His forgiveness, He is most forgiving, most merciful. 73:20

—

"What inserted you into Saqar?" 74:42

They will say, "We were not of the ones who prayed,

And we did not feed the indigent,

And we used to wade with the waders, (i.e., wade in vaintalk).

And we used to cry lies to the Day of Doom. 74:46

Until the Certitude came up to us."

So in no way will the intercession of the intercessors profit them.

74:48

—

To your Lord upon that Day will be the driving.75:30

So he neither sincerely (believed) nor prayed,

But he cried lies, and turned away;

Thereafter he went to his family striding haughtily.75:33

(It is) more appropriate to you, then more appropriate! (i.e., punishment).75:34 [ Surah Al-Qiyamah ]

—

Indeed, the virtuous will have a drink ˹of pure wine˺—flavoured with camphor—76:5

A spring whereat drink the bondmen of Allah, making it to gush forth with plenteous gushing (i.e., abundantly).

They fulfill (their) vows and fear a Day whose evil is spread all over;

76:7

And they give food (Literally: feed with food) for the love of Him, (Or: love of it) to the indigent, (and) the orphan, and the captive.76:8

"Surely we feed you only for the Face of Allah. We would not have any recompense from you, nor thankfulness.76:9

Surely we fear from our Lord a most frowning Day most inauspicious."

So, Allah has protected them from the evil of that Day and has granted (Literally: made them receive) them bloom and pleasure.

And He has recompensed them for (enduring) patiently with a Garden and silk.76:12

—

And remember the Name of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset.76:25

And (part) of the night; so prostrate yourself to Him, and extol Him through the long night.

Surely these (people) love the hasty (world) and leave behind them a heavy Day.76:27 [ Surah Al-Insan ]

—

Now, whenever a human being is tested by their Lord through ˹His˺ generosity and blessings, they boast, “My Lord has ˹deservedly˺ honoured me!” 89:15

But when He tests them by limiting their provision, they protest, “My Lord has ˹undeservedly˺ humiliated me!”

Absolutely not! In fact, you are not ˹even˺ gracious to the orphan,

89:17

nor do you urge one another to feed the poor.

And you devour ˹others’˺ inheritance greedily,89:19

and love wealth fervently.

Enough! When the earth is entirely crushed over and over,

and your Lord comes ˹to judge˺ with angels, rank upon rank,

and Hell is brought forth on that Day—this is when every ˹disbelieving˺ person will remember ˹their own sins˺. But what is the use of remembering then?

He will say, "Oh would that I had forwarded some good for my (future) life!" 89:24

—

and shown them the two ways ˹of right and wrong˺? 90:10

If only they had attempted the challenging path ˹of goodness instead˺!

And what will make you realize what ˹attempting˺ the challenging path is?

It is to free a slave,

or to give food in times of famine

to an orphaned relative

or to a poor person in distress, 90:16

and—above all—to be one of those who have faith and urge each other to perseverance and urge each other to compassion.

These are the people of the right. 90:18

As for those who deny Our signs, they are the people of the left.

The Fire will be sealed over them. [ Surah Al-Balad ]

make peace _ the sin of murder in Quran 🌹

make peace _ The sin of murder in Quran 🌹

through God’s favour and blessing: God is all knowing and all wise.49:8

If two groups of the believers fight, you [believers] should try to reconcile them; if one of them is [clearly] oppressing the other, fight the oppressors until they submit to God’s command, then make a just and even-handed reconciliation between the two of them: God loves those who are even-handed. 49:9

The believers are brothers, so make peace between your two brothers and be mindful of God, so that you may be given mercy. 49:10

Believers, no one group of men should jeer at another, who may after all be better than them; no one group of women should jeer at another, who may after all be better than them; do not speak ill of one another; do not use offensive nicknames for one another. How bad it is to be called a mischief-maker after accepting faith! Those who do not repent of this behaviour are evildoers.49:11

Believers, avoid making too many assumptions- some assumptions are sinful- and do not spy on one another or speak ill of people behind their backs: would any of you like to eat the flesh of your dead brother? No, you would hate it. So be mindful of God: God is ever relenting, most merciful.

49:12

—

But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). 8:61

—

It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. 8:67

—

O Prophet! say to those who are captives in your hands: "If Allah findeth any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." 8:70

—

And if anyone from the polytheists asks for your protection ˹O Prophet˺, grant it to them so they may hear the Word of Allah, then escort them to a place of safety, for they are a people who have no knowledge. 9:6 [ At-Tawbah ]

If they turn to God, keep up the prayer, and pay the prescribed alms, then they are your brothers in faith: We make the messages clear for people who are willing to learn.9:11

the sin of killing in Quran

And (remember) as We took compact with you (that), "You shall not shed your blood, (Literally: bloods) nor drive out yourselves (i.e., your own people) from your residences." Thereafter you ratified (that), and you yourselves bore witness. 2:84

(Yet) thereafter, you are these (who) kill yourselves (i.e. kill some of you) and drive out a group among you from their residences, backing each other against them in vice and hostility; and in case they come up to you captured, you ransom them, (while) driving them out is prohibited for you. Do you then believe in some (parts) of the Book and disbelieve in other parts? (Literally: in some parts) So in no way is the recompense of whoever of you performs that (anything) except disgrace in the present (Literally: the lowly (life), i.e., the life of this world) life, and on the Day of the Resurrection they are to be turned back to the strictest torment. And in no way is Allah ever heedless of whatever you do. 2:85

Those are (they) who have traded the present life for the price of the Hereafter. So for them the torment will not be lightened, neither will they be vindicated. { Surah Al-Baqarah }

—

You who believe, do not wrongfully consume each other’s wealth but trade by mutual consent. Do not kill each other, for God is merciful to you. 4:29

If any of you does these things, out of hostility and injustice, We shall make him suffer Fire: that is easy for God. 4:30

But if you avoid the great sins you have been forbidden, We shall wipe out your minor misdeeds and let you in through the entrance of honour.4:31

—

Never should a believer kill another believer, except by mistake. If anyone kills a believer by mistake he must free one Muslim slave and pay compensation to the victim’s relatives, unless they charitably forgo it; if the victim belonged to a people at war with you but is a believer, then the compensation is only to free a believing slave; if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty, then compensation should be handed over to his relatives, and a believing slave set free. Anyone who lacks the means to do this must fast for two consecutive months by way of repentance to God: God is all knowing, all wise.4:92

If anyone kills a believer deliberately, the punishment for him is Hell, and there he will remain: God is angry with him, and rejects him, and has prepared a tremendous torment for him.4:93

—

On account of [his deed], We decreed to the Children of Israel that if anyone kills a person- unless in retribution for murder or spreading corruption in the land- it is as if he kills all mankind, while if any saves a life it is as if he saves the lives of all mankind. Our messengers came to them with clear signs, but many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. 5:32 [ Surah Al-Ma'idah ]

homosex is the greatest sin

Homosexuality is the greatest sin in The Gospel, the Qur'an and the Torah Whoever goes this dirty way is from hell..

We sent Lot and he said to his people, ‘How can you practise this outrage? No one in the world has outdone you in this.

7:80

You lust after men rather than women! You transgress all bounds!’ 7:81

The only response his people gave was to say [to one another], ‘Drive them out of your town! These men want to keep themselves chaste!’

We saved him and his kinsfolk- apart from his wife who stayed behind 7:83

and We showered upon [the rest of] them a rain [of destruction]. See the fate of the evildoers.

—

And Lot: when He said to his people, ‘You practise outrageous acts that no people before you have ever committed. 29:28

How can you lust after men, waylay travellers, and commit evil in your gatherings?’ the only answer his people gave was, ‘Bring God’s punishment down on us, if what you say is true.’ 29:29

So he prayed, ‘My Lord, help me against these people who spread corruption.’

When Our mes-sengers brought the good news [of the birth of a son] to Abraham,they told him, ‘We are about to destroy the people of that town. They are wrongdoers.’29:31

Abraham said, ‘But Lot lives there.’ They answered, ‘We know who lives there better than you do. We shall save him and his household, except for his wife: she will be one of those who stay behind.’

When Our messengers came to Lot, he was troubled and distressed on their account. They said, ‘Have no fear or grief: we shall certainly save you and your household, except for your wife- she will be one of those who stay behind-29:33

and we shall send a punishment from heaven down on the people of this town because they violate [God’s order].’

moses in Quran 🌹

Moses _ in Quran. 🌹

˹Remember˺ how We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment, slaughtering your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord. 2:49

And ˹remember˺ when We parted the sea, rescued you, and drowned Pharaoh’s people before your very eyes. 2:50

And ˹remember˺ when We appointed forty nights for Moses, then you worshipped the calf in his absence, acting wrongfully. 2:51Even then We ˹still˺ forgave you so perhaps you would be grateful.

And ˹remember˺ when We gave Moses the Scripture—the decisive authority‎—‎that perhaps you would be ˹rightly˺ guided. 2:53

And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! Surely you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf, so turn in repentance to your Creator and execute ˹the calf-worshippers among˺ yourselves. That is best for you in the sight of your Creator.” Then He accepted your repentance. Surely He is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful. 2:54

And ˹remember˺ when you said, “O Moses! We will never believe you until we see Allah with our own eyes,” so a thunderbolt struck you while you were looking on. 2:55

Then We brought you back to life after your death, so that perhaps you would be grateful.

And ˹remember when˺ We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails,1 ˹saying˺, “Eat from the good things We have provided for you.” The evildoers ˹certainly˺ did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves.2:57

And ˹remember˺ when We said, “Enter this city and eat freely from wherever you please; enter the gate with humility, saying, ‘Absolve us.’ We will forgive your sins and multiply the reward for the good-doers.”

But the wrongdoers changed the words they were commanded to say. So We sent down a punishment from the heavens upon them for their rebelliousness.2:59

And ˹remember˺ when Moses prayed for water for his people, We said, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out, ˹and˺ each tribe knew its drinking place. ˹We then said,˺ “Eat and drink of Allah’s provisions, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.” 2:60

And ˹remember˺ when you said, “O Moses! We cannot endure the same meal ˹every day˺. So ˹just˺ call upon your Lord on our behalf, He will bring forth for us some of what the earth produces of herbs, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions.” Moses scolded ˹them˺, “Do you exchange what is better for what is worse? ˹You can˺ go down to any village and you will find what you have asked for.” They were stricken with disgrace and misery, and they invited the displeasure of Allah for rejecting Allah’s signs and unjustly killing the prophets. This is ˹a fair reward˺ for their disobedience and violations.2:61

Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians1—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 2:62

And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from you and raised the mountain above you ˹saying˺, “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.” 2:63

Yet you turned away afterwards. Had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy upon you, you would have certainly been of the losers.

You are already aware of those of you who broke the Sabbath. We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!” 2:65

So We made their fate an example to present and future generations, and a lesson to the God-fearing.

And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “Allah commands you to sacrifice a cow.” They replied, “Are you mocking us?” Moses responded, “I seek refuge in Allah from acting foolishly!” 2:67

They said, “Call upon your Lord to clarify for us what type ˹of cow˺ it should be!” He replied, “Allah says, ‘The cow should neither be old nor young but in between. So do as you are commanded!’”

They said, “Call upon your Lord to specify for us its colour.” He replied, “Allah says, ‘It should be a bright yellow cow—pleasant to see.’” 2:69

Again they said, “Call upon your Lord so that He may make clear to us which cow, for all cows look the same to us. Then, Allah willing, we will be guided ˹to the right one˺.”2:70

He replied, “Allah says, ‘It should have been used neither to till the soil nor water the fields; wholesome and without blemish.’” They said, “Now you have come with the truth.” Yet they still slaughtered it hesitantly! 2:71

—

We gave Moses the Scripture and We sent messengers after him in succession. We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. So how is it that, whenever a messenger brings you something you do not like, you become arrogant, calling some impostors and killing others? 2:87

—

Moses brought you clear signs, but then, while he was away, you chose to worship the calf- you did wrong.’ 2:92

Remember when We took your pledge, making the mountain tower above you, and said, ‘Hold on firmly to what We have given you, and listen to [what We say].’ They said, ‘We hear and we disobey,’ and through their disbelief they were made to drink [the love of] the calf deep into their hearts. Say, ‘How evil are the things your belief commands you to do, if you really are believers!’ 2:93

Say, ‘If the last home with God is to be for you alone and no one else, then you should long for death, if your claim is true.’

But they will never long for death, because of what they have stored up with their own hands: God is fully aware of the evildoers. 2:95

[Prophet], you are sure to find them clinging to life more eagerly than any other people, even the polytheists. Any of them would wish to be given a life of a thousand years, though even such a long life would not save them from the torment: God sees everything they do. 2:96

Say [Prophet], ‘If anyone is an enemy of Gabriel- who by God’s leave brought down the Quran to your heart confirming previous scriptures as a guide and good news for the faithful- 2:97

if anyone is an enemy of God, His angels and His messengers, of Gabriel and Michael, then God is certainly the enemy of such disbelievers.’

For We have sent down clear messages to you and only those who defy [God] would refuse to believe them. 2:99

How is it that whenever they make a covenant or a pledge, some of them throw it away? In fact, most of them do not believe.2:100

Look again! And again! Your sight will turn back to you, weak and defeated. 67:4

We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and made them [missiles] for stoning devils for whom We have also prepared the torment of a blazing fire. 67:5

It is to Him you shall all return––that is a true promise from God. It was He who created [you] in the first place, and He will do so again, so that He may justly reward those who believe and do good deeds.

prayer . Night prayer _ Quran 🌹

Keep up prayer from the decline of the sun, until twilight a night; and [observe] the Reading at daybreak, since reading [the Quran] at daybreak will be witnessed! ( Al-Isra 17:78 )

At night, wake up and pray during it[s reading] as an extra bonus for yourself; perhaps your Lord will raise you once again to a praiseworthy standing. 17:79

SAY: "My Lord, let me enter through a proper entrance and leave by an honest exit! Grant me supporting authority from Your presence." 17:80

—

O you the (sleeping) enwrapped one! ( Al-Muzzammil 73:1 )

Stand up in Prayer by night, all but a small part of it; half of it, or reduce it a little; or add to it a little; and recite the Qur'an slowly and distinctly. Behold, We shall cast upon you a Weighty Word. Surely getting up at night is the best means of subduing the self and is more suitable for uprightness in speech. You are indeed much occupied during the day with the affairs of the world. So remember the name of your Lord1 and devote yourself to Him with exclusive devotion. 73:8

(O Prophet), your Lord knows that you sometimes stand up in Prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and sometimes half or one-third of it, and so does a party of those with you; Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you cannot keep an accurate count of it, so He has shown mercy to you. So now recite as much of the Qur'an as you can. He knows that there are among you those who are sick and others who are journeying in the land in quest of Allah's bounty,

and still others who are fighting in the cause of Allah. So recite as much of the Qur'an as you easily can, and establish Prayer, and pay Zakah, and give Allah a goodly loan. Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you shall find it with Allah. That is better and its reward is greater. And ask for Allah's forgiveness; surely He is Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate 73:17

Your Lord knows how you stay up close to two thirds of the night [in prayer], half of it, and even a third of it; and [so do) a group of those who are with you. Allah (God) measures out both night and daylight; He knows that you (all) will never measure them up [or sustain doing it], so He has relented towards you. Read whatever seems feasible from the Quran. He knows that some of you may be ill while others are out travelling around the earth seeking Allah (God)'s bounty, and still others are fighting for Allah (God)'s sake. So read any of it that seems feasible, and keep up prayer and pay the Zakat (welfare tax), and advance Allah (God) a handsome loan. Anything good you send on ahead for yourselves, you will find [later on] with Allah (God); it is better and more important as earnings. Seek forgiveness from Allah (God); Allah (God) will be Forgiving, Merciful. 73:20

—

and remember the name of your Lord, morning and evening; ( Al-Insan 76:25 )

and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the night. 76:27

—

Save worshippers. ( Al-Ma'arij 70:22 ) Who are constant at their worship . And in whose wealth there is a right acknowledged . For the beggar and the destitute; And those who believe in the Day of Judgment, And those who are fearful of their Lord's doom - 70:27

—

they used to sleep but little by night, ( Adh-Dhariyat 51:17 )

and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, 51:18 and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute.51:19

We have sent you as a witness, herald and warner, ( Al-Fath 48:8 ) so you may (all) believe in Allah (God) and His messenger, and revere and honor Him, and glorify Him morning and evening.

prophet abraham in Quran 🌹

Prophet Abraham in Quran 🌹

[Prophet], have you not thought about the man who disputed with Abraham about his Lord, because God had given him power to rule? When Abraham said, ‘It is my Lord who gives life and death,’ he said, ‘I too give life and death.’ So Abraham said, ‘God brings the sun from the east; so bring it from the west.’ The disbeliever was dumbfounded: God does not guide those who do evil. 2:258 Surah Al-Baqarah

Or take the one who passed by a ruined town. He said, ‘How will God give this life when it has died?’ So God made him die for a hundred years, and then raised him up, saying, ‘How long did you stay like that?’ He answered, ‘A day, or part of a day.’ God said, ‘No, you stayed like that for a hundred years. Look at your food and drink: they have not gone bad. Look at your donkey- We will make you a sign for the people- look at the bones: see how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh!’ When all became clear to him, he said, ‘Now I know that God has power over everything.’2:259

And when Abraham said, ‘My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead,’ He said, ‘Do you not believe, then?’ ‘Yes,’ said Abraham, ‘but just to put my heart at rest.’ So God said, ‘Take four birds and train them to come back to you. Then place them on separate hilltops, call them back, and they will come flying to you: know that God is all powerful and wise.’2:260

— Abraham

Remember when Abraham said to his father, Azar, ‘How can you take idols as gods? I see that you and your people have clearly gone astray.’ 6:74

In this way We showed Abraham [God’s] mighty dominion over the heavens and the earth, so that he might be a firm believer. 6:75

When the night grew dark over him he saw a star and said, ‘This is my Lord,’ but when it set, he said, ‘I do not like things that set.’

And when he saw the moon rising he said, ‘This is my Lord,’ but when it too set, he said, ‘If my Lord does not guide me, I shall be one of those who go astray.’6:77

Then he saw the sun rising and cried, ‘This is my Lord! This is greater.’ But when the sun set, he said, ‘My people, I disown all that you worship beside God.6:78

I have turned my face as a true believer towards Him who created the heavens and the earth. I am not one of the polytheists.’

His people argued with him, and he said, ‘How can you argue with me about God when He has guided me? I do not fear anything you associate with Him: unless my Lord wills [nothing can happen]. My Lord encompasses everything in His knowledge. How can you not take heed? 6:80

Why should I fear what you associate with Him? Why do you not fear to associate with Him things for which He has sent you no authority? Tell me, if you know the answer, which side has more right to feel secure?

It is those who have faith, and do not mix their faith with idolatry, who will be secure, and it is they who are rightly guided.’ 6:82

Such was the argument We gave to Abraham against his people- We raise in rank whoever We will- your Lord is all wise, all knowing.

6:83

—

It is not fitting for the Prophet and the believers to ask forgiveness for the idolaters- even if they are related to them- after having been shown that they are the inhabitants of the Blaze: 9:113

Abraham asked forgiveness for his father because he had made a promise to him, but once he realized that his father was an enemy of God, he washed his hands of him. Abraham was tender-hearted and forbearing. 9:114

God would not condemn for going astray those He has already guided [to the faith] before making entirely clear to them what they should avoid. God has knowledge of everything;9:115 { Surah At-Tawbah }

_ Prophet Abraham . messengers Lot

To Abraham Our messengers brought good news. They said, ‘Peace.’ He answered, ‘Peace,’ and without delay he brought in a roasted calf.

11:69

When he saw that their hands did not reach towards the meal, he found this strange and became afraid of them. But they said, ‘Do not be afraid. We have been sent against the people of Lot.’ 11:70

His wife was standing [nearby] and laughed. We gave her good news of Isaac and, after him, of Jacob.

She said, ‘Alas for me! How am I to bear a child when I am an old woman, and my husband here is an old man? That would be a strange thing!’ 11:72

They said, ‘Are you astonished at what God ordains? The grace of God and His blessings be upon you, people of this house! For He is worthy of all praise and glory.’

Then, when the fear left Abraham and the good news came to him, he pleaded with Us for Lot’s people, 11:74

for Abraham was forbearing, tender-hearted, and devout.

‘Abraham, cease your pleading: what your Lord has ordained has come about; punishment is coming to them, which cannot be turned back.’ 11:76

And when Our messengers came to Lot, he was anxious for them, feeling powerless to protect them, and said, ‘This is a truly terrible day!’

His people came rushing towards him; they used to commit foul deeds. He said, ‘My people, here are my daughters.They are more wholesome for you, so have some fear of God and do not disgrace me with my guests. Is there not a single right-minded man among you?’ 11:78

They said, ‘You know very well that we have no right to your daughters. You know very well what we want.’

He said, ‘If only I had the strength to stop you or could rely on strong support!’ 11:80

They [the messengers] said, ‘Lot, we are your Lord’s messengers. They will not reach you. Leave with your household in the dead of night, and let none of you turn back. Only your wife will suffer the fate that befalls the others. Their appointed time is the morning: is the morning not near?’

And so when what We had ordained came about, We turned their town upside down and rained down stones of baked clay on it, layer upon layer, 11:82 { Surah Hud }

marked from your Lord. It is not far from the evildoers.

Prophet Noah _ in Quran 🌹

We sent Noah to his people to say, ‘I have come to you to give a clear warning: ( Hud 11:25 )

worship no one but God. I fear you will have torment on a painful Day.’ But the prominent disbelievers among his people said, ‘We can see that you are nothing but a mortal like ourselves, and it is clear to see that only the vilest among us follow you. We cannot see how you are any better than we are. In fact, we think you are a liar.’ He said, ‘My people, think: if I did have a clear sign from my Lord, and He had given me grace of His own, though it was hidden from you, could we force you to accept it against your will? 11:28

My people, I ask no reward for it from you; my reward comes only from God. I will not drive away the faithful: they are sure to meet their Lord. I can see you are foolish. My people, who could help me against God if I drove the faithful away? Will you not take heed? 11:30

I am not telling you that I hold God’s treasures, or have any knowledge of what is hidden, or that I am an angel. Nor do I say that God will not grant any good to those who are despised in your eyes: God Himself knows best what is in their souls. If I did this I would be one of the wrongdoers.’ They said, ‘Noah! You have argued with us for too long. Bring down on us the punishment you threaten us with, if you are telling the truth.’ 11:32

He said, ‘It is God who will bring it down, if He wishes, and you will not be able to escape. My advice will be no use to you if God wishes to leave you to your delusions: He is your Lord and to Him you will be returned.’ If [these disbelievers] say, ‘He has made this up,’ say [Muhammad], ‘If I have made this up, I am responsible for my own crime, but I am innocent of the crimes you commit.’ 11:35

It was revealed to Noah, ‘None of your people will believe, other than those who have already done so, so do not be distressed by, what they do. Build the Ark under Our [watchful] eyes and with Our inspiration. Do not plead with Me for those who have done evil- they will be drowned.’ So he began to build the Ark, and whenever leaders of his people passed by, they laughed at him. He said, ‘You may scorn us now, but we will come to scorn you: 11:38

you will find out who will receive a humiliating punishment, and on whom a lasting suffering will descend.’ When Our command came, and water gushed up out of the earth, We said, ‘Place on board this Ark a pair of each species, and your own family- except those against whom the sentence has already been passed- and those who have believed,’ though only a few believed with him. 11:40

He said, ‘Board the Ark. In the name of God it shall sail and anchor. My God is most forgiving and merciful.’ It sailed with them on waves like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who stayed behind, ‘Come aboard with us, my son, do not stay with the disbelievers.’ But he replied, ‘I will seek refuge on a mountain to save me from the water.’ Noah said, ‘Today there is no refuge from God’s command, except for those on whom He has mercy.’ The waves cut them off from each other and he was among the drowned. 11:43

Then it was said, ‘Earth, swallow up your water, and sky, hold back,’ and the water subsided, the command was fulfilled. The Ark settled on Mount Judi, and it was said, ‘Gone are those evildoing people!’ Noah called out to his Lord, saying, ‘My Lord, my son was one of my family, though Your promise is true, and You are the most just of all judges.’ God said, ‘Noah, he was not one of your family. What he did was not right. Do not ask Me for things you know nothing about. I am warning you not to be foolish.’ 11:46

He said, ‘My Lord, I take refuge with You from asking for things I know nothing about. If You do not forgive me, and have mercy on me, I shall be one of the losers.’ And it was said, ‘Noah, descend in peace from Us, with blessings on you and on some of the communities that will spring from those who are with you. There will be others We will allow to enjoy life for a time, but then a painful punishment from Us will afflict them.’ 11:48

These accounts are part of what was beyond your knowledge [Muhammad]. We revealed them to you. Neither you nor your people knew them before now, so be patient: the future belongs to those who are aware of God. — The people of Noah rejected the truth before them: they rejected Our servant, saying, ‘He is mad!’ Noah was rebuked, ( Al-Qamar 54:9 )

and so he called upon his Lord, ‘I am defeated: help me!’ So We opened the gates of the sky with torrential water, burst the earth with gushing springs: the waters met for a preordained purpose. We carried him along on a vessel of planks and nails that floated under Our watchful eye, a reward for the one who had been rejected. We have left this as a sign: will anyone take heed? How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings! We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed?
