In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[8:46] You shall obey GOD and His messenger, and do not
dispute among yourselves, lest you fail and scatter your strength.
You shall steadfastly persevere. GOD is with those who
steadfastly persevere.

[8:47] Do not be like those who left their homes grudgingly,
only to show off, and in fact discouraged others from following
the path of GOD. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.

[ 9:24] Proclaim: "If your parents, your children, your siblings,
your spouses, your family, the money you have earned, a business
you worry about, and the homes you cherish are more beloved
to you than GOD and His messenger, and the striving in His
cause, then just wait until GOD brings His judgment." GOD does
not guide the wicked people.

[9:32] They want to put out GOD's light with their mouths, but GOD
insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the disbelievers.

[9:33] He is the One who sent His messenger with the guidance and
the religion of truth, and will make it dominate all religions, in spite of
the idol worshipers.

[9:70] Have they not learned anything from the previous generations;
the people of Noah, `Aad, Thamood, the people of Abraham, the
dwellers of Midyan, and the evildoers (of Sodom and Gomorrah)?
Their messengers went to them with clear proofs. GOD never
wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls.

[9:107] There are those who abuse the masjid by practicing idol worship,
dividing the believers, and providing comfort to those who oppose GOD
and His messenger. They solemnly swear: "Our intentions are honorable!"
GOD bears witness that they are liars.

[9:108] You shall never pray in such a masjid. A masjid that is established
on the basis of righteousness from the first day is more worthy of your
praying therein. In it, there are people who love to be purified. GOD loves
those who purify themselves.

[10:13] Many a generation we have annihilated before you when they
transgressed. Their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they
refused to believe. We thus requite the guilty people.

[10:14] Then we made you inheritors of the earth after them, to see how
you will do.

[10:20] They say, "How come no miracle came down to him from his
Lord?" Say, "The future belongs to GOD; so wait, and I am waiting
along with you."

[10:32] Such is GOD, your rightful Lord. What is there after the truth,
except falsehood? How could you disregard all this?

[10:35] Say, "Does any of your idols guide to the truth?" Say, "GOD
guides to the truth. Is one who guides to the truth more worthy of
being followed, or one who does not guide, and needs guidance for
himself? What is wrong with your judgment?"

[10:36] Most of them follow nothing but conjecture, and conjecture
is no substitute for the truth. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.

[10:82] GOD establishes the truth with His words, despite the criminals.

[11:57] "If you turn away, I have delivered to you what I was sent with.
My Lord will substitute other people in your place; you cannot harm Him
in the least. My Lord is in control of all things."

[11:59] Such was `Aad - they disregarded the revelations of their Lord,
disobeyed His messengers, and followed the ways of every stubborn
tyrant.

[11:88] He said, "O my people, what if I have solid proof from my Lord;
what if He has provided me with a great blessing? It is not my wish to
commit what I enjoin you from. I only wish to correct as many wrongs
as I can. My guidance depends totally on GOD; I have put my trust in
Him. To Him I have totally submitted.

[11:113] Do not lean towards those who have transgressed, lest you incur
Hell, and find no allies to help you against GOD, then end up losers.

[13:36] Those who received the scripture rejoice in what was revealed to
you; some others may reject parts of it. Say, "I am simply enjoined to
worship GOD, and never associate any idols with Him. I invite to Him, and
to Him is my ultimate destiny."

[14:7] Your Lord has decreed: "The more you thank Me, the more I give
you." But if you turn unappreciative, then My retribution is severe.

[14:12] "Why should we not trust in GOD, when He has guided us in our
paths? We will steadfastly persevere in the face of your persecution. In
GOD all the trusters shall trust."

[14:36] "My Lord, they have misled so many people. As for those who
follow me, they belong with me. As for those who disobey me, You are
Forgiver, Most Merciful.

[14:44] You shall warn the people of the day when the retribution comes
to them. Those who transgressed will say, "Our Lord, give us one more
respite. We will then respond to Your call and follow the messengers."
Did you not swear in the past that you will last forever?

[15:91] They accept the Quran only partially.

[16:64] We have revealed this scripture to you, to point out for them what
they dispute, and to provide guidance and mercy for people who believe.

[16:82] If they still turn away, then your sole mission is the clear delivery
(of the message).

[16:105] The only ones who fabricate false doctrines are those who do
not believe in GOD's revelations; they are the real liars.

[17:82] We send down in the Quran healing and mercy for the believers.
At the same time, it only increases the wickedness of the transgressors.

[17:84] Say, "Everyone works in accordance with his belief, and your
Lord knows best which ones are guided in the right path."

[18:56] We only send the messengers as simply deliverers of good news,
as well as warners. Those who disbelieve argue with falsehood to defeat
the truth, and they take My proofs and warnings in vain.

[18:57] Who are more evil than those who are reminded of their Lord's
proofs, then disregard them, without realizing what they are doing.
Consequently, we place shields on their hearts to prevent them from
understanding it (the Quran), and deafness in their ears. Thus, no matter
what you do to guide them, they can never ever be guided.

[18:103] Say, "Shall I tell you who the worst losers are?

[18:104] "They are the ones whose works in this life are totally astray,
but they think that they are doing good."

[20:94] He said, "O son of my mother; do not pull me by my beard and
my head. I was afraid that you might say, `You have divided the Children
of Israel, and disobeyed my orders.' "

[20:95] He said, "What is the matter with you, O Samarian?"

[20:96] He said, "I saw what they could not see. I grabbed a fistful
(of dust) from the place where the messenger stood, and used it
(to mix into the golden calf). This is what my mind inspired me to do."

[21:25] We did not send any messenger before you except with the
inspiration: "There is no god except Me; you shall worship Me alone."

[21:27] They never speak on their own, and they strictly follow His
commands.

[21:45] Say, "I am warning you in accordance with divine inspiration."
However, the deaf cannot hear the call, when they are warned.

[22:52] We did not send before you any messenger, nor a prophet,
without having the devil interfere in his wishes. GOD then nullifies
what the devil has done. GOD perfects His revelations. GOD is
Omniscient, Most Wise.

[22:53] He thus sets up the devil's scheme as a test for those who
harbor doubts in their hearts, and those whose hearts are hardened.
The wicked must remain with the opposition.

[22:54] Those who are blessed with knowledge will recognize the
truth from your Lord, then believe in it, and their hearts will readily
accept it. Most assuredly, GOD guides the believers in the right path.

[22:78] You shall strive for the cause of GOD as you should strive for
His cause. He has chosen you and has placed no hardship on you in
practicing your religion - the religion of your father Abraham. He is
the one who named you "Submitters" originally. Thus, the messenger
shall serve as a witness among you, and you shall serve as witnesses
among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Contact Prayers
(Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and hold fast to GOD;
He is your Lord, the best Lord and the best Supporter.

[23:52] Such is your congregation - one congregation - and I am your
Lord; you shall reverence Me.

[23:53] But they tore themselves into disputing factions; each party
happy with what they have.

[23:63] Because their minds are oblivious to this, they commit works
that do not conform with this; their works are evil.

[23:66] My proofs have been presented to you, but you turned back
on your heels.

[23:67] You were too arrogant to accept them, and you defiantly
disregarded them.

[23:68] Why do they not reflect upon this scripture? Do they not
realize that they have received something never attained by their
ancestors?

[23:69] Have they failed to recognize their messenger? Is this why
they are disregarding him?

[23:70] Have they decided that he is crazy? Indeed, he has brought
the truth to them, but most of them hate the truth.

[23:71] Indeed, if the truth conformed to their wishes, there would
be chaos in the heavens and the earth; everything in them would be
corrupted. We have given them their proof, but they are
disregarding their proof.

[23:72] Are you asking them for a wage? Your Lord's wage is far
better. He is the best Provider.

[23:73] Most assuredly, you are inviting them to a straight path.

[24:47] They say, "We believe in GOD and in the messenger,
and we obey," but then some of them slide back afterwards.
These are not believers.

[24:52] Those who obey GOD and His messenger, and reverence
GOD and observe Him, these are the triumphant ones.

[24:54] Say, "Obey GOD, and obey the messenger." If they refuse,
then he is responsible for his obligations, and you are responsible
for your obligations. If you obey him, you will be guided. The sole
duty of the messenger is to deliver (the message).

[25:27] The day will come when the transgressor will bite his hands
(in anguish) and say, "Alas, I wish I had followed the path with the
messenger.

[25:28] "Alas, woe to me, I wish I did not take that person as a friend.

[25:29] "He has led me away from the message after it came to me.
Indeed, the devil lets down his human victims."

[25:33] Whatever argument they come up with, we provide you with the
truth, and a better understanding.

[ 25:43] Have you seen the one whose god is his own ego? Will you be
his advocate?

[25:56] We have sent you (Rashad) as a deliverer of good news, as
well as a warner.

[25:57] Say, "I do not ask you for any money. All I seek is to help you
find the right path to your Lord, if this is what you choose."

[26:198] If we revealed this to people who do not know Arabic.

[26:199] And had him recite it (in Arabic), they could not possibly
believe in it.

[26:214] You shall preach to the people who are closest to you.

[26:215] And lower your wing for the believers who follow you.

[26:216] If they disobey you, then say, "I disown what you do."

[27:78] Your Lord is the One who judges among them in
accordance with His rules. He is the Almighty, the Omniscient.

[27:79] Therefore, put your trust in GOD; you are following the
manifest truth.

[27:80] You cannot make the dead, nor the deaf, hear the call,
if they turn away.

[27:81] Nor can you guide the blind out of their straying.
The only ones who will hear you are those who believe in
our revelations, and decide to be submitters.

[27:82] At the right time, we will produce for them a creature,
made of earthly materials, declaring that the people are not
certain about our revelations.

[28:1] T. S. M.

[ 28:2] These (letters) constitute proofs of this profound book.

[28:50] If they fail to respond to you, then know that they follow
only their own opinions. Who is farther astray than those who
follow their own opinions, without guidance from GOD?
GOD does not guide such wicked people.

[28:75] We will select from every community a witness, then say,
"Present your proof." They will realize then that all truth belongs
with GOD, while the idols they had fabricated will abandon them.

[28:86] You never expected this scripture to come your way;
but this is a mercy from your Lord. Therefore, you shall not side
with the disbelievers.

[29:11] GOD will most certainly distinguish those who believe,
and He will most certainly expose the hypocrites.

[29:12] Those who disbelieved said to those who believed,
"If you follow our way, we will be responsible for your sins."
Not true; they cannot bear any of their sins. They are liars.

[29:25] He said, "You worship beside GOD powerless idols
due to peer pressure, just to preserve some friendship among
you in this worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection,
you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your
destiny is Hell, wherein you cannot help one another."

[30:31] You shall submit to Him, reverence Him, observe the
Contact Prayers (Salat), and - whatever you do - do not ever
fall into idol worship.

[30:32] (Do not fall in idol worship,) like those who divide their
religion into sects; each party rejoicing with what they have.

[33:21] The messenger of GOD has set up a good example
for those among you who seek GOD and the Last Day, and
constantly think about GOD.

[33:66] The day they are thrown into Hell, they will say, "Oh,
we wish we obeyed GOD, and obeyed the messenger."

[33:70] O you who believe, reverence GOD and utter only
the correct utterances.

[33:71] He will then fix your works, and forgive your sins.
Those who obey GOD and His messenger have triumphed
a great triumph.

[35:8] Note the one whose evil work is adorned in his eyes,
until he thinks that it is righteous. GOD thus sends astray
whoever wills (to go astray), and He guides whoever wills
(to be guided). Therefore, do not grieve over them. GOD is
fully aware of everything they do.
