*ALLAH REPEATS the verses to make HIS MESSAGE CLEAR

Al-An’am ~ The Cattle
6.105
And thus do WE REPEAT the COMMUNICATIONS
and that they may say:
You have read;
and that
WE MAY MAKE IT CLEAR
to a people who know.

Al-An’am ~ The Cattle

who is the god besides Allah that can bring it to you?
See how We
REPEAT the COMMUNICATIONS,

Clear Evidences ~ Basa’ir

Al-Jatheyah~Crouching
45.20

Hatha BASA-IRu lilnnasi wahudan warahmatun liqawmin yooqinoona

These are CLEAR EVIDENCES to men and a
GUIDANCE and MERCY to those of assured Faith.

Al-Qeyaamah ~ Resurrection
75.16-19


Do not move your tongue to
HURRY IT.
It is WE who will collect it into Quran.
Once WE recite it,
You shall follow such a Quran.
Then it is
WE WHO WILL EXPLAIN IT.

Al-Rahman ~ The Compassionate

The Compassionate
TEACHER OF THE QURAN.
Creator of the human beings.
HE TAUGHT him how to distinguish.

Al-Haaqqah~REALITY
69.44-47

And if the MESSENGER were to
INVENT ANY SAYINGS IN OUR NAME,
WE should certainly seize him by his right hand,
And WE should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).
But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.

The Best Commentary ~ Ahsana Tafseer

Al Furqan ~ The Criterion
25.32-33

32. Those who reject Faith say: "Why is not the Qur'an revealed to him all at once? Thus (is it revealed), that We may strengthen thy heart thereby, and We have rehearsed it to thee in slow, well-arranged stages, gradually.

33. Wala ya/toonaka bimathalin illa ji/naka bialhaqqi waAHSANA TAFSEERan

And no question do they bring to thee but WE reveal to thee the truth and the BEST EXPLANATION (thereof).


PICKTHAL: And they bring thee no similitude but WE bring thee the Truth (as against it), and BETTER (than their similitude) as ARGUMENT.

Al-Waaqe'ah ~ The Event

75. I swear by the positions of the stars.

76.And most surely it is a VERY GREAT OATH if you only knew

77.That this is indeed a Qur'an MOST Honourable

78. In a protected book


Al-An'am ~ Cattle
6.92

And this is a BLESSED SCRIPTURE which WE have revealed...
(Wahatha kitabun anzalnahu mubarakun...)


Al Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.6-7
As for the disbelievers whether you warn them or you warn them not it is the same for them; they believe not.
7. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a great punishment for them.


The Children of Israel
17.46
We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it,
and deafness in their ears.
And when you PREACH your LORD, USING THE QURAN ALONE,
they turn away in aversion.


Al-Zumar ~ The Throngs
39.23

ALLAH has revealed herein

Ahsana al Hadith/the Best, Beautiful Message;

a book that is consistent,
and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord fear there from, then their skins and their hearts soften up for ALLAH's MESSAGE. Such is ALLAH's guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be guided). As for those sent astray by ALLAH, nothing can guide them.


Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.266
...ALLAH thus
CLARIFIES the REVELATIONS/QURAN for you,
that you may reflect.


Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow

These are the verses of the BOOK that makes (things) CLEAR


Al-Shu’ara ~ The poets

These are revelations of the SCRIPTURE that makes PLAIN.


Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.99

WE have SENT DOWN to you such
CLEAR REVELATIONS,
and ONLY the WICKED will REJECT them.


Joseph ~ Yousuf
12.111

In their histories there is certainly a lesson for men of understanding.
This is not a fabricated story. This QURAN confirms all PREVIOUS SCRIPTURES,
PROVIDES DETAILS OF EVERYTHING,
and is a GUIDE and MERCY for those who BELIEVE.


Al-An’am ~ Livestock
6.115
THE WORD OF YOUR LORD IS COMPLETE
in TRUTH and JUSTICE.
Nothing shall abrogate (eliminate/destroy/erase) HIS WORDS


Al-Anbya ~ The Prophets
21.10
WE HAVE SENT DOWN TO YOU A SCRIPTURE CONTAINING
YOUR MESSAGE.
DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?


Al-Qamar ~ The Moon
54.22
And in truth We have made the Qur'an EASY to remember; but is there any that remember?

~~~~

As Human beings we can ONLY TRY our best to communicate clearly,
but we are only human and it is in our nature to make mistakes.


ALLAH DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES.

Who is BEST at COMMUNICATION?

Who is the KNOWER of EVERYTHING?

We have quoted ALLAH's MESSAGE because isn't it
Ahsana al Hadith/ The BEST,Beautiful Message?

WHO IS THE MOST INTELLIGENT?

WHO IS THE MOST WISE?

WHO IS THE BEST AT CLARIFYING THE REVELATIONS?

WHOSE MESSAGE IS THE MOST CLEAREST, COMPLETE, FULLY DETAILED MESSAGE?

WHO IS THE BEST AT RECORDING AND REMEMBERING EVERYTHING?

~~~~

Al-Hajj

22.70
Do you not realize that ALLAH KNOWS everything in the heavens and everything on earth?
All this is recorded in a record. This is EASY for ALLAH to do.


Mary ~ Maryam
19.64
"We(the angels) come down in accordance with the commandments of your Lord.
To HIM belongs the past, present, and the future.

YOUR LORD NEVER FORGETS."


Ta Ha

20.52
He said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record.
My LORD NEVER ERRS (makes mistakes), nor does HE FORGET.


Al-An’am ~ Livestock
6.38

…WE DID NOT LEAVE ANYTHING OUT OF THIS BOOK…


Al Al-Zumar ~ The Throngs
39.22
If ALLAH renders one's heart content with Islam,
he will be following a LIGHT from his Lord.
Therefore, woe to those whose hearts are hardened
against ALLAH's MESSAGE;
they have gone far astray.


Al-Baqara ~ The Cow
2.176

…ALLAH has REVEALED the SCRIPTURE with the TRUTH. Lo!
Those who find (a cause of) DISAGREEMENT in the SCRIPTURE are in open schism.


Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.23-24

If you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our servant,
then produce ONE sura like these,
and call upon your own witnesses against ALLAH, if you are truthful.


2.24
If you cannot do this - and you can NEVER do this - then
beware of the Hellfire, whose fuel is people and rocks; it awaits the disbelievers.


Sad

38.29
This is a SCRIPTURE that We sent down to you,
that is SACRED- perhaps they

REFLECT ON ITS VERSES.
Those who possess INTELLIGENCE will take HEED.


Ta Ha
20.114
"Most Exalted is ALLAH, the only true King.
Do not rush into (understanding) the Quran before it is revealed to you, and say,

'My Lord, increase my knowledge.'"

The Children of Isreal
17.54

Your LORD knows you BEST ACCORDING TO HIS KNOWLEDGE...


17.55
Your Lord is the
BEST KNOWER of EVERYONE

The Children of Israel ~ The Night Journey
17:36
YOU SHALL NOT ACCEPT ANY INFORMATION,
UNLESS YOU VERIFY IT FOR YOURSELF.
I have given you the HEARING, the EYESIGHT, and the BRAIN,
and YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR USING THEM.

~~~~

Most people believe that the Quran is NOT FULLY DETAILED or NOT made CLEAR enough to understand. However according to the Quran/
ALLAH's REVELATIONS it is.

If you look at all these verses that Allah has revealed, it would be good for you
to acknowledge that the Quran is FULLY DETAILED and MADE CLEAR.

The Message of Allah is SO PERFECT and SACRED
that it was REVEALED on the BEST NIGHT :
THE NIGHT OF POWER.

To say such things about the Quran (e.g that it is NOT FULLY DETAILED) is to
UNDERMINE and UNDER ESTIMATE ALLAH’S GREATNESS, WISDOM and INTELLIGENCE.

Allah has created EVERYTHING PERFECTLY.
HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PARTNERS TO HELP HIM COMPLETE HIS WORK.
ALLAH IS INDEPENDANT.

ALLAH DOES NOT NEED US, WE NEED HIM.

WE ARE HIS CREATURES and HE IS OUR CREATOR.

ALLAH IS THE BEST AT COMMUNICATING HIS MESSAGE.

~~~~

Al Khaf ~ The Cave
18.1
All PRAISE IS DUE TO ALLAH,
Who revealed the Book to His servant and did NOT make in it any
crookedness.
18.2
A PERFECT (scripture)...



Hud
11.1

...(This is) a Scripture the REVELATIONS whereof are
PERFECTED and then EXPOUNDED.
(It comes) from THE WISE, ALL AWARE.


Al-Qadr ~ The Night Of Power
97.1-3
1.We have indeed REVEALED this (QURAN) in the Night of Power:
2. What will convey unto you what the Night of Power is!
3. The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.


Al-Mulk ~ The Kingship
67.3
He created seven universes in layers.
You do NOT see any imperfection in the creation by the Most Gracious.
Keep looking; do you see any flaw (mistakes)?


Al-Hashr ~ Exile

59.21
If we revealed this Quran to a mountain,
you would see it trembling, crumbling, out of REVERENCE for ALLAH.
We cite these examples for the people, that they may reflect.


Al-Hadeed ~ Iron

57.16
Is it not time for those who believed to OPEN UP their hearts for
ALLAH's MESSAGE, and the truth that is revealed herein?

They should not be like the followers of previous scriptures
whose hearts became hardened with time and, consequently, many of them turned wicked.


Al-Ghafer ~ Forgiver
40.56

Surely (as for) those who
DISPUTE ABOUT THE COMMUNICATIONS OF ALLAH
without any authority that has come to them, there is naught in their breasts but [pride] (a desire) to become great which they shall never attain to;
Therefore seek REFUGE IN ALLAH, surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.


Al-Ghafer ~ Forgiver
40.63
Thus were turned away those who

DENIED THE COMMUNICATIONS OF ALLAH.


Luqman
31.7

And when OUR COMMUNICATIONS (message/revelations) ARE RECITED to him,
he turns back proudly, as if he had not heard them,
as though in his ears were a heaviness, therefore announce to him a painful retribution.


Al-Ma’edah ~ The Table Spread
5.3
Today, the disbelievers have given up concerning your religion; do not fear them

AND FEAR ME (ALLAH) INSTEAD.

Today, I (ALLAH) have COMPLETED your RELIGION,

PERECTED MY BLESSING UPON YOU,
and I HAVE DECREED ISLAM AS THE RELIGION FOR YOU.



Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.256

There shall be NO COMPULSION (force) IN RELIGION:
The RIGHT WAY is now distinct from the WRONG WAY.
Anyone who denounces the devil and
BELIEVES in ALLAH has GRASPED the STRONGEST BOND;
one that NEVER BREAKS. ALLAH IS HEARER, OMNIPOTENT.

~~~~

May ALLAH Shower His blessings on you today for taking time to read HIS VERSES.
If ALLAH has opened your heart to HIS MESSAGE Ulhumdulilah/ All Praise is due to ALLAH.
May the PEACE and BLESSINGS of ALLAH be upon you.

In this post my intentions are just to make a point that the Quran is FULLY DETAILED, MADE CLEAR and to stress how perfect the Quran; Allah's words are.


Al-Mu’minun ~ The Believers
23.118
Say, “My LORD, shower us with FORGIVENESS and MERCY. Of all the merciful ones
YOU ARE THE MOST MERCIFUL.

Ahsan u'l Hadith-The Best Message

Salamun'Aalaykum ~ Peace Be Upon You,
I pray you are well by the Grace and Mercy of Allah. Insha-Allah you will take the time to read this message.

My intentions are to quote some of the verses of the Quran where the Arabic word Hadith has been used.
The Arabic word Hadith means statements, sayings, story, narrations, message etc.


[O MOST MERCIFUL ONE, MOST COMPASSIONATE ONE, MOST KIND ONE,
Please forgive us and shower us with YOUR mercy and UNVEIL our hearts if we are blinded to the TRUTH. Please help us to understand YOUR MESSAGE and help us to be RIGHTEOUS (devoted, honest, truthful, just, fair, trustworthy, charitable, moral, law-abiding, conscientious) Please protect us from EVIL and help us to remember YOU and be APPRECIATIVE of all that YOU do for us.]

2. From the EVILS among His creation.
3. From the EVILS of darkness as it falls.
4. From the EVILS of the TROUBLE MAKERS.
5. From the EVILS OF THE ENVIOUS when they ENVY”.


Al-Zumar ~ The Throngs

ALLAH has revealed herein the best HADITH/message; a book that is consistent, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for ALLAH message. Such is ALLAH's guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be guided). As for those sent astray by GOD, nothing can guide them

Al-Jatheyah ~ Kneeling
45.6

Tilka ayatu Allahi natlooha AAalayka bialhaqqi fabi-ayyi HADEETHin baAAda Allahi waayatihi yu/minoona

Al-Nesa ~ Women
4.87

Allahu la ilaha illa huwa layajmaAAannakum ila yawmi alqiyamati la rayba feehi waman asdaqu mina Allahi HADEETHan

ALLAH: there is no god except HE. HE will surely summon you on the Day of Resurrection - the inevitable day. Whose narration/HADITH is more truthful than ALLAH's?

Al-Ar’af ~ The Heights
7.185

Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their terms is nigh drawing to an end?
In what message/HADITH after this will they then believe?

Yousuf ~ Joseph

12.111
Laqad kana fee qasasihim AAibratun li-olee al-albabi ma kana HADEETHan yuftara walakin tasdeeqa allathee bayna yadayhi watafseela kulli shay-in wahudan warahmatan liqawmin yu/minoona

In their history verily there is a lesson for men of understanding.
It (the Quran) is no invented story/HADITH but a confirmation of the existing (Scripture) and a DETAILED EXPLANATION of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for folk who believe.

Al-Kahf ~ The Cave
18.6

FalaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka AAala atharihim in lam yu/minoo bihatha alHADEETHi asafan

You may blame yourself on account of their response to this narration/HADITH, and their disbelieving in it; you may be saddened.

The Remembrance

Salamun'Aalaykum ~ Peace Be Upon You,
I pray you are well by the Grace and Mercy of Allah. Insha-Allah you will take the time to read this message.

My intentions are to quote verses of the Quran that encourage ALL BELIEVERS to use their own intellect and their own reasoning and to reflect on the Quran:Ahsan u'l Hadith (The Best Message 39.23) as we are responsible for our own souls.

[O MOST MERCIFUL ONE, MOST COMPASSIONATE ONE, MOST KIND ONE,
Please forgive us and shower us with YOUR mercy and UNVEIL our hearts if we are blinded to the TRUTH.

Al-Anfal ~ The Spoils of War

Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who DO NOT USE REASON.
Al-Mulk ~ Kingship

And they will say, "If only we had been listening or REASONING, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze"
Al-Anbya ~ The prophets

Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder.
Then will YOU not REASON?

Sheba~Saba
34.32-33
The Leaders will say to those who followed them, "Are we the ones who diverted you from guidance after is came to you? No; it is you who were wicked."

34.33. The Followers will say to their leaders, "It was you who schemed night and day, then commanded us to be unappreciative of ALLAH, and to set up idols to rank with HIM"...

Al-A'araf ~ The Heights
7.37-40
For who is more UNJUST than he who fabricates LIES about ALLAH or denies HIS REVELATIONS?Those will get their share of the punishment ordained for them. When OUR messengers (angels) come to take their souls they will say;
"WHERE ARE THOSE UPON WHOM YOU CALLED BESIDES ALLAH?"
They will say: "THEY HAVE LEFT US." and they will bare witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.

7.38. He will say, "Enter with the previous communities of Jinns and humans into HELL". Every time a group enters, they will curse their ancestral group. Once they are ALL in it,the LATEST one will say of the PREVIOUS one,"Our LORD, these are the ones who misled us. Give them double the retribution of Hell."HE will say, "Each receives double, but you do not know"

7.39. And the first of them will say to the last: "In no way are you better than us; so taste the punishment of what you did."

7.40. Indeed, those who have DENIED OUR REVELATIONS and REJECTED THEM arrogantly- THE GATES OF HEAVEN SHALL NOT BE OPEN FOR THEM and they shall not enter Paradise until the camel passes through the eye of the needle...


Al Ghafir ~ Forgiver
40.46-48

The Hell will be shown to them day and night, and on the Day of Resurrection: "Admit Pharaoh's people into the worst retribution."
47.Behold, they will dispute with each other in the Fire! The weak ones (who followed) will say to those who had been arrogant, "We but FOLLOWED you: Can ye then take (on yourselves) from us some share of the Fire?
48.The leaders will say, "We are all in this together. GOD has judged among the people."

Al-Ma'edah~The Table Spread

If YOU OBEY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE on earth, THEY WILL DIVERT YOU FROM THE PATH OF ALLAH. They only FOLLOW CONJECTURE; THEY ONLY GUESS.

They have taken their DOCTORS OF LAW and their monks for LORDS besides ALLAH, and (also) the Messiah son of Maryam yet they were commanded to worship but ONE GOD: there is no god but HE. Praise and glory to HIM: (Far is HE) from having the partners they associate (with HIM).

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.134
This is a people that have passed away; they shall have what they earned and
YOU shall have what YOU earn, and YOU shall not be called upon to answer for what they did.

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.141
That was a community from the past. They are responsible for what they earned, and
YOU are responsible for what YOU earned.

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.139

WE are responsible for OUR deeds, and YOU are responsible for YOUR deeds…

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.170-171

When they are told, “Follow what Allah has revealed herein,”
They say, “WE FOLLOW ONLY WHAT WE FOUND OUR PARENTS DOING.”
What if their parents did not understand, and were not guided?

2.171. The example of such disbelievers is that of PARROTS WHO REPEAT WHAT THEY HEAR OF SOUNDS AND CALLS, WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.
Death, dumb, and blind; they cannot understand.

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.166
Those who were FOLLOWED will disown those who FOLLOWED them.
They will see the retribution, and all ties among them will be severed.

Al-Ra’ad ~ Thunder

…ALLAH does not change the condition of a people unless THEY THEMSELVES make a decision to change…

No soul can carry the sins of another soul...

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.48

Beware of a Day when NO SOUL CAN AVAIL ANOTHER SOUL, NO intercession will be granted, NO ransom can be paid, nor can anyone be helped.

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.42
Do not confound the TRUTH with FALSEHOOD, nor shall you CONCEAL THE TRUTH KNOWINGLY.

Ya-Sin

On that Day, NO SOUL will be wronged in the least. YOU will be paid precisely for what YOU did.

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow

...ALLAH thus CLARIFIES the revelations for YOU, that YOU MAY REFLECT,
2.220 upon this life and the hereafter...

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.266
...ALLAH thus CLARIFIES the revelations for YOU, that YOU MAY REFLECT.

Al-Nahl ~ The Bee
16.44
WE provided them with the PROOFS and the SCRIPTURE. And WE sent down to YOU this MESSAGE, to proclaim for the people everything that is sent down to them,
PERHAPS THEY WILL REFLECT.

Al-Mu'minun ~ The Believers
23.68
Why do they not REFLECT upon this SCRIPTURE? Do they not realise they have something never attained by their ancestors?

Al-Taareq ~ The Morning Star
86.5
Let the Human REFLECT on his creation.

Al-Hashr ~ Exile
59.21
If WE revealed this QURAN to a mountain, YOU would see it trembling, crumbling, out of reverence (honour, respect) for ALLAH.
WE cite these examples for the PEOPLE, that THEY MAY REFLECT.

Al-Jatheyah ~Kneeling
45.13
HE (ALLAH) has committed in YOUR service EVERYTHING in the heavens and the earth; all from HIM.
THESE ARE PROOFS FOR PEOPLE WHO REFLECT.

Al-Qamar ~ The Moon

54.22

And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remember?

Al-Araf~ The Heights
7.2

This scripture has been revealed to YOU, YOU SHALL NOT HARBOR DOUBT ABOUT IT IN YOUR HEART, that YOU may WARN with it, and to provide a REMINDER for the believers.

Al-Mu’minun ~ The Believers

Say, “My LORD, shower us with FORGIVENESS and MERCY. Of all the merciful ones YOU ARE THE MOST MERCIFUL.

The Enlightenment

Salamun'Aalaykum ~ Peace Be Upon You,
I pray you are well by the Grace and Mercy of Allah. Insha-Allah you will take the time to read this message.

My intentions are to quote some of the verses of the Quran which portray that ISLAM (PEACE) is a PEACEFUL RELIGION, which encourages FORGIVENESS, KINDNESS and CHARITY.
Insha-Allah my intentions are good.

[O MOST MERCIFUL ONE, MOST COMPASSIONATE ONE, MOST KIND ONE,
Please forgive us and shower us with YOUR mercy and UNVEIL our hearts if we are blinded to the TRUTH. Please help us to understand YOUR MESSAGE and help us to be RIGHTEOUS (devoted, honest, truthful, just, fair, trustworthy, charitable, moral, law-abiding, conscientious) Please protect us from EVIL and help us to remember YOU and be APPRECIATIVE of all that YOU do for us.]


Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem
In the name of ALLAH the MOST GRACIOUS, the MOST MERCIFUL.

I submit to the Lord of the universe


Al-Falaq~ Daybreak
113.
1. Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak.
2. From the EVILS among His creation.
3. From the EVILS of darkness as it falls.
4. From the EVILS of the TROUBLE MAKERS.
5. From the EVILS OF THE ENVIOUS when they ENVY”.

Al-Naas~People
114.

1. Say, “I seek refuge in the LORD of the people.
2. The KING of the people.
3. The God of the people.
4. From the EVILS of sneaky whisperers.
5. Who whisper into the chests of the people.
6. Be they of jinns, or the people.

Al-Araf~The Heights
7: 204

WHEN THE QURAN IS RECITED, YOU SHALL LISTEN TO IT AND TAKE HEED, THAT YOU MAY ATTAIN MERCY.

Qaf
50.8
THIS IS AN ENLIGHTENMENT, and a REMINDER for every PIOUS WORSHIPPER.

Al-Noor~ Light
24:61

…When you enter any home, you shall GREET each other a greeting from ALLAH that is BLESSED and GOOD.
ALLAH thus EXPLAINS the revelations for you, that you may UNDERSTAND.

Al-An’am ~ Livestock
6.54
When those who believe in our revelations come to you, you shall say “PEACE BE UPON YOU...”

(Wa-itha jaaka allatheena yu/minoona bi-ayatina faqul Salamun’Aalaykum)

Al-Nesa ~ Women
4.86

When GREETED with a GREETING, YOU SHALL RESPOND with a BETTER GREETING or at least an EQUAL ONE. ALLAH reckons (takes into account) all things.

Al-Hujurat~The Walls
49.10

The believers are members of ONE FAMILY; you shall keep THE PEACE WITHIN YOUR FAMILY and reverence ALLAH, that you may attain MERCY.

At-Tawba ~ Repentance
9.112

They (the believers) are the REPENTERS, the WORSHIPPERS, the PRAISERS, the MEDITATORS, the BOWING and PROSTRATING, the advocators of RIGHTEOUSNESS (good actions) and forbidders of EVIL, and the KEEPERS OF ALLAH’S LAWS. GIVE GOOD NEWS TO SUCH BELEIVERS.

Al-Shoora ~Consultation
42.37

THEY AVOID GROSS SIN AND VICE, AND WHEN ANGERED THEY FORGIVE.

Al-Shoora ~ Consultation
42.40

Although the JUST requital for an INJUSTICE is an EQUIVALENT retribution, those who PARDON and MAINTAIN RIGHTEOUSNESS are REWARDED BY ALLAH.
HE DOES NOT LOVE THE UNJUST.

Al-Shoora ~ Consultation
42.41-43
41. Certainly, those who STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS, when INJUSTICE befalls them, are NOT committing any error.

42. The WRONG ones are those who TREAT the people UNJUSTLY, and resort to AGGRESSION without PROVOCATION. These have incurred a PAINFUL RETRIBUTION.

43.Resorting to PATIENCE and FORGIVENESS REFLECTS TRUE STRENGH OF CHARACTER.

The Night Journey, The Children of Israel
17:53
Tell my servants to TREAT EACH OTHER in the BEST POSSIBLE MANNER, for the devil will always try to drive a wedge among them. Surely the devil is man’s most ardent enemy.

Al Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.263

A KIND WORD and COMPASSION are BETTER than a charity that is followed by INSULT. ALLAH is Rich, Clement

Al-Hujurat~ The Chambers
49:11
O you who believe NO PEOPLE, shall RIDICULE other people, for they may be BETTER than they…

Fussilat ~ Well Expounded/Detailed
41:34

NOT EQUAL is the GOOD RESPONSE and the BAD RESPONSE. You shall resort to the NICEST POSSIBLE RESPONSE. Thus the one who use to be YOUR ENEMY, may become YOUR BEST FRIEND.

Al-Ma’edah ~ The Feast
5.87

O you who BELEIVE, DO NOT PROHIBIT GOOD THINGS THAT ARE MADE LAWFUL BY ALLAH, and DO NOT TRANSGRESS. ALLAH DISLIKES THE TRANSGRESSORS.

Al-A’araf ~ The Heights
7.198-199

When you invite them (idol worshippers) to guidance they do not hear. And you see them looking at you, but they do not see.
199. Keep to FORGIVENESS, and enjoin KINDNESS, and turn away from the ignorant (rude, ill-mannered).

Al-Mumtahanah~ The Test
60.8-9
ALLAH does NOT enjoin (FORBID) you from BEFRIENDING those who do NOT fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. YOU MAY BEFRIEND THEM. ALLAH LOVES THE EQUITABLE.
9. ALLAH enjoins (FORBIDS) YOU ONLY FROM BEFRIENDING THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU because of religion, evict you from your homes, and band together with others to banish you. Those who befriend them are transgressors.

Al Ma’edah ~ The Table Spread
5.32

…WE decreed for the Children of Israel that
ANYONE WHO MURDERS ANY PERSON WHO HAD NOT COMMITTED MURDER OR HORRENDOUS CRIME, IT SHALL BE AS IF HE MURDERED ALL THE PEOPLE.
AND ANYONE WHO SPARES A LIFE IT SHALL BE AS IF HE SPARED ALL THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE.

OUR messengers went to them with CLEAR PROOFS and REVELATIONS, but most of them, after all this, are still transgressing.

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.81

Indeed those who EARN SINS and become surrounded by their EVIL WORKS will be the DWELLERS OF HELL; they ABIDE IN IT FOREVER.

Al-Nesa ~ Women
4.94
O you who BELIEVE, if you strike in the cause of ALLAH (during war), you shall be ABSOLUTELY SURE.
DO NOT SAY TO ONE WHO OFFERS PEACE, “YOU ARE NOT A BELEIVER”,
seeking the SPOILS OF THIS WORLD. For ALLAH possesses INFINITE SPOILS.
REMEMBER YOU USE TO BE LIKE THEM, AND ALLAH BLESSED YOU.
Therefore YOU SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY SURE (before you strike).
ALLAH IS FULLY COGNIZANT (AWARE) OF EVERYTHING YOU DO.

Al-Anfal ~ The Spoils of war
8.61

If they (non-believers) resort to PEACE, SO SHALL YOU, and put your TRUST IN ALLAH. HE IS HEARER, the OMNISCIENT.


Al-Nesa ~ Women
4.114
There is no good in much of their secret conferences save (in) him who enjoins almsgiving (CHARITY) and KINDNESS and PEACE-MAKING among the people. Whoso does that, seeking the good pleasure of ALLAH, We shall bestow on him a vast reward.

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.99
WE have sent down such CLEAR REVELATIONS, and ONLY the WICKED will REJECT THEM.

Al-Mumtahanah ~ The Test
60.7

It may be that ALLAH will establish FRIENDSHIP between you and those of them who were your enemies. ALLAH IS ALL POWERFUL, and ALLAH IS ALL FORGIVING, ALL MERCIFUL.

The children of Israel
17.38

ALL BAD BEHAVIOUR IS CONDEMNED BY YOUR LORD.

Al-Ma’edah ~ The Table Spread
5.89

ALLAH does not hold you RESPONSIBLE for your MERE UTTERANCES of OATHS; HE HOLDS YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTUAL INTENTIONS

Al-Ankaboot ~ The Spider
29.46

Do NOT ARGUE with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians and Muslims) EXCEPT in the NICEST POSSIBLE MANNER-unless they transgress-AND SAY,
“We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our GOD and your GOD is one and the same; to HIM we are SUBMITTERS."

Al-Nahl
16. 125
You shall invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and KIND ENLIGHTENMENT, AND DEBATE WITH THEM IN THE BEST POSSIBLE MANNER. Your LORD KNOWS BEST who has strayed from HIS path, and HE knows best who are the guided ones.

Al-Qasas ~ History
28.56

You CANNOT guide the ones you love. ALLAH IS THE ONLY ONE WHO GUIDES in accordance with HIS WILL, and in accordance with HIS KNOWLEDGE of those who deserve guidance.

The Children of Israel
17:23
Your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship EXCEPT HIM, and YOUR PARENTS SHALL BE HONOURED. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never say to them, “uff”(the slightest gesture of ANNOYANCE), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them AMICABLY (KINDLY).
24. And lower for them the wings of HUMILITY, and KINDNESS, and say,
“My Lord, have mercy on them, for they have raised me from infancy.”

Luqman
31.15

If they (parents) try to FORCE you to set up idols besides ME, do not obey them. But continue to treat them AMICABLY (KINDLY) in this world….

Al-Nahl~The Bee
16.128

ALLAH is with those who LEAD A RIGHTEOUS LIFE, and those who are CHARITABLE.

Al-Baqarah
2.177

RIGHTEOUSNESS is not turning your face towards the east or the west.
RIGHTEOUS are those who believe in ALLAH,
the LAST DAY,
the ANGELS,
the SCRIPTURE,
and the PROPHETS;
and GIVE THE MONEY CHEERFULLY, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the travelling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the prayers and give the obligatory CHARITY (Zakat); and they KEEP THEIR WORD whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, HARDSHIP and war. These are the TRUTHFUL, these are the RIGHTEOUS.

Al-A’araf ~ The Heights
7.26

O children of Adam, we have given you garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the BEST garment is the GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (good actions). These are some of ALLAH’S SIGNS, that they may take HEED (NOTICE).

[YUSUFALI: O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of RIGHTEOUSNESS,- that is the BEST. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition!
PICKTHAL: O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the raiment of RESTRAINT FROM EVIL, THAT IS BEST. This is of the revelations of Allah, that they may remember
.]

Ali-Imran ~ The Children of Imran
3.92
You CANNOT attain RIGHTEOUSNESS until you give to CHARITY from the POSSESSIONS YOU LOVE. Whatever you give to CHARITY, ALLAH IS FULLY AWARE THEREOF.

Al-Maa’oon ~ CHARITY
107.1-3
1. Do you know who really rejects the faith?
2. That is the one who MISTREATS the orphans.
3. And does not advocate (support) the FEEDING OF THE POOR

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow
2.267

O you who believe, you shall give to CHARITY from the GOOD THINGS you earn, and from what WE have produced for you from the earth. DO NOT PICK OUT THE BAD therein to give away, when you yourselves would not accept it unless your eyes are closed. You should know that ALLAH IS RICH, PRAISEWORTHY.

Al-Muzzammil ~ Cloaked
73.20
Whatever GOOD you send on behalf of your souls, you will find it at ALLAH far better and GENEROUSLY REWARDED

Ali-Imran –The Family of Imran
3.133-134
You shall EAGERLY RACE TOWARDS FORGIVENESS FROM YOUR LORD AND A PARADISE whose width encompasses the heavens and the earth;
it awaits the RIGHTEOUS
134. who give CHARITY during the GOOD TIMES and the BAD TIMES.
THEY ARE SUPPRESSORS OF ANGER,
and PARDONERS OF THE PEOPLE.
ALLAH LOVES THE CHARITABLE.

Al-Hajj~ Pilgrimage
22.32

Indeed, those who REVERENCE THE RITES DECREED BY ALLAH DEMONSTRATE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THEIR HEARTS.

Al Ma’edah ~ The Table Spread
5.15-16

…A beacon has come to you from ALLAH, and a PROFOUND SCRIPTURE.
16. With IT, ALLAH GUIDES THOSE WHO SEEK HIS APPROVAL. HE GUIDES THEM to the PATHS OF PEACE, leads them out of the DARKNESS into the LIGHT by HIS LEAVE, and GUIDES them in a STRAIGHT PATH.

Al-Balad ~ The City
90.10-17
10.Did we not show him two paths?
11. He should choose the difficult path
12. Which one is the difficult path?
13. The freeing of the slaves.
14. Feeding, during the time of hardship,
15. orphans who are related,
16. or the poor who is in need
17. and being one of those who BELIEVE, and exhorting one another to be steadfast, and EXHORTING ONE ANOTHER TO BE KIND.

Al-Hajj ~ Pilgramage

Al-Baqarah ~ The Cow

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR DEEDS AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEEDS.
To HIM ALONE we are DEVOTED

YOU SHALL NOT ACCEPT ANY INFORMATION, UNLESS YOU VERIFY IT FOR YOURSELF. I have given you the HEARING, the EYESIGHT, and the BRAIN, and YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR USING THEM.
