Selections from the Qur’ān

True believers are those whose hearts are filled with awe at the mention of God, and when His revelations are recited before them, their faith grows stronger and they are ones who trust their Lord alone, show diligence in the prayer and spend [for Our cause] from what We have given them. It is these who are true believers. For them are ranks before their Lord, forgiveness and a noble sustenance. (8:2-4)

There is no compulsion [from God] in religion. The fact is [that after this Qur’ān], guidance is now totally distinct from error. So, he who renounces Satan and believes in God, it is as if he has grasped a strong rope that can never break. And God hears all and knows all. (2:256)

the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Only He gives life and only He gives death, and He has power over all things. He is the First and the Last, the Apparent and the Hidden and has knowledge of all things. It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and then sat on the throne. He knows all that goes into the earth and all that emerges from it and all that descends from the heavens and all that ascends into them. He is with you wherever you are and has knowledge of what you do. He has sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and to Him return all affairs. He makes the night pass into the day and the day pass into the night and He has knowledge of what is concealed in the hearts. (57:1-6) God’s Mercy

God is the light of the heavens and the earth. [In a person’s heart] His light may be compared to a niche that has a lamp. The lamp is in a crystal and the crystal is like a brilliant star. It is lit from a blessed olive tree that is neither eastern nor western. Its very oil would almost light up even though no fire touched it. Light upon light; God guides to this light whomsoever He desires. God mentions these parables to guide people. And God has knowledge of all things. This [niche] is found in houses which God has directed to be built for the remembrance of His name. In them, morning and evening, He is glorified by people whom neither trade nor sale and purchase can divert from remembering God, from diligently offering the prayer and from giving zakāh; who dread the day when hearts and eyes shall writhe with anguish so that God may fully recompense their deeds and bless them with more grace. God will give without measure to whomsoever He desires. (24:35-38) © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author. This copy is for reading purpose only.

Say: “Lord, the Master of sovereignty. You grant sovereignty to whom You please and take it away from whom You please; You grant honour to whom You please and humiliate whom You please. All good lies in Your authority. Indeed, You have power over all things. You make the night to pass into the day, and the day to pass into the night and You bring forth the living from the dead and bring forth the dead from the living. And You give unlimited sustenance to whom You please.” (3:26-27)

This is Sūrah Alif Lām Mīm Rā. These are the verses of this Book. And what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, yet most people do not believe. It is God Who raised the heavens without visible pillars. He then ascended the throne and made the sun and the moon subservient [to Him], each pursuing a path till an appointed time. He governs the Universe and makes plain His signs so that you may have conviction in meeting your Lord. It is He who spread out the earth and placed upon it mountains and rivers and for all types of fruit created two types. He covers the night over the day. Indeed, there are signs in this for those who deliberate. And in the land there are adjacent plots: vineyards, cultivated land and palm-trees [with] single [stems] as well as with twin ones. All are nourished by the same water: yet some are more productive than the others. Indeed, there are signs in this for people who use their intellect. (13:1-4)

Believers! Do not give preference to your opinion before God and His Prophet. Have fear of God. Indeed, God hears and knows all. Believers! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet nor address him in a loud voice as you do to one another, lest your deeds should come to nothing and you are not even aware of this. Indeed, those who keep their voices subdued in the presence of God’s messenger are the very people whose hearts God has chosen for nurturing piety. For them are forgiveness and a great reward.

Remember when that which is to happen shall happen. There is no falsity in its happening. It is one which elevates and one which relegates; when the earth will be totally shaken, and the mountains will be crushed to pieces becoming dispersed dust. And you shall be divided into three groups [on that day]. One group then shall be of the companions of the right hand; so what majesty will the companions of the right hand have! The second group shall be of the companions of the left hand; so what a wretched fate shall befall the companions of the left hand! As for the foremost, they shall be the foremost. They shall be the favoured ones in gardens of delight: most among them will be from the early generations but only a few from the later ones. On jewelled couches shall they recline face to face. Boys who will never age shall wait on them with bowls and ewers and cups of purest wine that will neither cause any head spin nor take away their sanity; and fruits which they would relish and the flesh of the birds they desire. And for them shall be large-eyed houris like hidden pearls: a reward for their deeds. There they shall hear no absurd talk, no sinful speech. Only greetings and congratulations everywhere. (56:1-26)

And make no other deity than God, lest [on the Day of Judgement] you are left blameworthy and disgraced. And your Lord has enjoined you to worship none but Him, and to be very kind to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age in your presence, be not ill-tempered with them, nor scold them; but speak to them respectfully and treat them with humility and tenderness and pray: “Lord! Shower your mercy on them the way they cared for me in childhood.” Your Lord fully knows what is in your hearts; if you remain obedient, He is very forgiving to those who turn to Him. And give to the near of kinfolk their due, and also to the needy and the traveller. And do not squander your wealth wastefully, for the wasteful are Satan’s brothers; and Satan is very ungrateful to his Lord. And if you have to ignore [those in need] because you are still seeking your Lord’s bounty for which you are waiting, then at least speak to them gently. And do not be stingy or extravagant so that you should either earn reproach or be reduced to indigence. Indeed, your Lord gives profusely to whom He pleases and sparingly to whom He pleases.

And do not even go near adultery because it is blatant vulgarity and a very evil path. And do not unjustly kill any person whose life has been held sacred by God and if a person is killed unjustly, We have given his heir an authority. Then he too must not exceed bounds in his revenge because he has been helped. And do not even go near the wealth of orphans except in a goodly manner, until they reach maturity. And keep your promises because promises will be subject to accountability. Give full measure, when you measure, and weigh with correct scales. This is better and fairer with regard to the consequences. And do not go after what you know not because eyes, ears, and heart – each of them shall be held accountable. And tread not the earth with arrogance because neither can you cleave asunder the earth, nor reach the height of the mountains. The evil of each of these to your Lord is very displeasing.

So they [– Moses and his companion–] retraced their footsteps, and found one of Our servants whom We had bestowed a special blessing and whom We had endowed with knowledge specially from Ourselves. Moses requested him: “Can I come with you so that you may teach me from the knowledge given to you?” He replied: “You will not be able to bear with me. And how can you show patience on things that are beyond your knowledge.” Moses said: “God willing, you shall find me patient. I shall not disobey you in any matter.” Moses said: “If you want to come with me, you must not question me about anything until I mention it to you myself.” Finally, the two set off until when they embarked on a ship Moses’ companion bored a hole in it. Moses said: “Is it to drown its passengers that you have bored a hole in it? You have done a very strange thing.” “Did I not tell you that you would not be able to bear with me?” he replied. “Forgive my forgetfulness, and do not be stern with me,” said Moses. They then journeyed on until they met a boy. Moses’ companion killed him. Moses said: “You have killed an innocent person who has killed no © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author. This copy is for reading purpose only.

one. You have done something very wicked.” “Did I not tell you that you would not be able to bear with me?” he replied. Moses said: “If, after this, I question you again, abandon me; you [now] have justification of this.” Then they journeyed on until when they came to the dwellers of a city, they asked them for some food. However, they declined to host them. So, there they found a wall that was about to fall. His companion restored it, and Moses said: “Had you wished, you could have asked to be compensated for your labour.” He replied: “The time to part has now arrived; but first I will explain to you those acts on which you could not bear with me. As for the ship, it belonged to some poor people who earned their livelihood in the sea. I wished to damage it because at their rear, there was a king who was snatching every ship. As for the youth, both his parents were true believers. We feared that defiance and ingratitude may make him exceed bounds against them when he grows up. It was thus our wish that their Lord should grant them another child in his place, more pious and compassionate. As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys of the city. Beneath it their treasure was buried and their father was a righteous person. Your Lord intended that they should dig up their treasure when they grow up. This happened because of your Lord’s mercy. This is the explanation of what you could not bear with patience.” (18:60-82)

Loyalty to God does not [merely] consist in facing the East or the West [in the prayer] but loyalty is the loyalty of those who believe in God, in the Last Day, in the angels of God, in [divine] Books and in the prophets [of God] and who, though they love it dearly, give away their wealth to the kindred, the orphans, the needy, the traveler and to those who ask and for the liberation of necks and who are diligent in their prayer and pay zakāh; [and of those who] stand by their word when they give it and specially [of those] who are steadfast in scarcity, illness and war.

prostrating [in the prayer before] for their Lord; who say: “Lord! Save us from the torment of Hell, for its punishment is ever-clinging; indeed, it is an evil abode and resting-place;” who when spend are neither extravagant nor miserly and are moderate between it; who invoke no other deity besides God, and do not kill any soul held sacred by God except when sanctioned [by the sharī‘ah]; who do not commit adultery; and he who perpetrates these [wrongdoings] shall meet the consequences of his sins. On the Day of Judgement, his torment will be increased gradually and in disgrace he shall abide in it forever – except those who repent, accept faith and do righteous deeds, for them God will change their vices to virtues, And God is Forgiving and Merciful. And he who repents and does righteous deeds in fact returns to God; who do not bear false testimony; who maintain their dignity when they pass by absurdities; who do not turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the revelations of their Lord when they are reminded by them; who pray: “Lord! Grant us bliss from our spouses and our children, and make us the leaders of those who fear You.” It is these who shall be rewarded for their fortitude with tall mansions in Paradise and they shall be welcomed with peace and congratulations. They shall abide in it forever: a pleasing abode and resting-place. (25:63-76) What I should always try to Avoid

(١٢-١١ :٤٩) Believers! Men should not make fun of other men for they may be better than themselves and women should not make fun of other women for they may be better than themselves. And do not be disdainful to one another nor call one another with bad names. After embracing faith, even the mention of disobedience is bad. Those who do not repent from this are indeed wrongdoers. Believers! Avoid being overly speculative, for some speculations are a blatant sin and do not spy on one another. And no one among you should indulge in backbiting others. Would anyone of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? So, you would detest it. Fear God. God is Most Forgiving and Ever Merciful. (49:11-12) The Three Do’s and the three Don’ts

God will not hold you accountable for your inadvertent oaths, but He will definitely hold you accountable for oaths you swear with solemn intention. So, if such an oath is broken, its atonement is to feed ten needy persons of a standard with which you normally feed your own families or to clothe ten needy people or to liberate a slave. But whosoever cannot afford these should fast for three days. This is the atonement for the oaths when you have sworn. And protect your oaths. In this way, God explains to you His revelations that you may be grateful. (5:89)

Believers! Fasting has been made obligatory upon you as it was made upon those before you so that you become fearful of God. These are but a few days, but if any one among you is ill or is on a journey, let him fast a similar number of days later; and those who have the capacity [to feed a needy] should feed a needy in place of it. Then he who does a virtuous deed of his own accord, it is better for him and if you fast, then this is even better for you if you but knew. It is the month of Ramad@ān in which the Qur’ān was revealed, as a book of guidance for mankind and in the form of manifest arguments which are a means of total guidance and a means of distinguishing right from wrong. Therefore, whoever among you is present in this month, he should fast. And he who is ill or is on a journey should fast a similar number of days later on. [This concession is because] God desires comfort for you and not discomfort. And [the permission given to travellers and the sick to feed the needy is now withdrawn so that] you can complete the fasts [and thus not be deprived of the blessings of fasting] and so that you glorify God on the guidance God has bestowed upon you, and express your gratitude to Him.

People are tempted by the lure of women and sons, treasures of gold and silver, marked horses, cattle, and plantations. These are the provisions of life, but a better abode is with God. Tell them: “Shall I tell you what is better than these things? For the Godfearing there are orchards with their Lord beneath which rivers flow; they shall live in them forever and chaste wives and the pleasure of God.” And God is aware of His servants – those who pray: “Lord, we have professed faith; so, forgive our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire”; those who are patient, truthful, obedient, who spend [for the cause of God] and who seek forgiveness at daybreak.

have introduced yourselves and wished peace to their inhabitants. That is better for you so that you may be heedful. And if you find no one in the house, do not enter until permission is granted to you. And if you are asked to go back, go back, for this is purer for you. And God is aware of what you do. There is nothing wrong if however you enter non-residential places in which there is some benefit for you. And God knows what you reveal and what you conceal. [O Prophet!] Tell believing men to restrain their gaze and guard their private parts [if there are women present in these houses]. That is purer for them. And God has knowledge of what you do. And tell the believing women to restrain their gaze and to guard their private parts and to display from among their ornaments only those [that are worn on limbs] which are normally revealed and to draw their coverings over their bosoms. And they should not reveal their ornaments to anyone except their husbands or their fathers or their husbands’ fathers or their sons or their husbands’ sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or other women of acquaintance or their slaves or the subservient male servants who are not attracted to women or children who have no awareness of the hidden aspects of women. And they should not walk by stamping their feet on the ground in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And believers turn you all to God that you may succeed. (24:27-31)

Believers! When you borrow for a prescribed period, record it in writing. And let a scribe write it down between you with justice; and the scribe should not refuse to write; in fact, just as God has taught him to write, he also should write for others; and the one who has borrowed should have [the document] written down and fearing God his Lord, he should not make any reduction in it. If he who is responsible to write is naïve, feeble or unable to have it written, then let his guardian do so with justice. And call in two male witnesses from among your men, but if two men cannot be found, then one man and two women from among your likable people so that if one of them gets confused, the other reminds her. And witnesses must not refuse when they are summoned. And whether the loan is large or small, be not negligent in documenting the deal upto its period. This is more just in the sight of God; it ensures accuracy in testifying and is the most appropriate way for you to safeguard against doubts. But if it be an everyday transaction, it does not matter if you do not write it down. (2:282) © "All rights of this book are reserved for the publisher and the author.
