ABASEMENT
And when you said, 'Musa, we will not put up with just one kind of food
so ask your Lord to supply to us some of what the earth produces-its green
vegetables, cucumbers, grains, lentils and onions,' he said, 'Do you want
to replace what is better with what is inferior? Go back to Egypt, then
you will have what you are asking for.' Abasement and destitution were
stamped upon them. They brought down anger from Allah upon themselves.
That was because they rejected Allah's Signs and killed the Prophets without
any right to do so. That was because they rebelled and went beyond the
limits. (2:61)
Say, 'O Allah! Master of the Kingdom! You give sovereignty to whoever
You will You take sovereignty from whoever You will. You exalt whoever
You will You abase whoever You will. All good is in Your hands. You have
power over all things.' (3:26)
They will be plunged into abasement wherever they are found, unless they
have a treaty with Allah and with the people. They have brought down anger
from Allah upon themselves, and they have been plunged into destitution.
That was because they rejected Allah's Signs and killed the Prophets without
any right to do so. That was because they disobeyed and went beyond the
limits. (3:112)
He said, 'Descend from Heaven. It is not for you to be arrogant in it.
So get out! You are one of the abased.' (7:13)
As for those who adopted the Calf, anger from their Lord will overtake
them together with abasement in the life of this world. That is how we
repay the purveyors of falsehood. (7:152)
Fight those of the people who were given the Book who do not believe
in Allah and the Last Day and who do not make forbidden what Allah and
His Messenger have made forbidden and do not take as their religion the
religion of Truth, until they pay the poll tax with their own hands in
a state of complete abasement. (9:29)
If you do not help him, Allah did help him when those who disbelieved
drove him out and there were two of them in the Cave. He said to his companion,
'Do not be despondent, Allah is with us.' Then Allah sent down His serenity
upon him and reinforced him with troops you could not see. He made the
word of those who disbelieved undermost. It is the word of Allah which
is uppermost. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (9:40)
And say: 'Praise be to Allah Who has had no son and Who has no partner
in His Kingdom and Who needs no one to protect Him from abasement.' And
proclaim His Greatness repeatedly! (17:111)
She (Queen of Sheba) said, 'When kings enter a city, they lay waste to
it and make its mightiest inhabitants the most abased. That is what they
too will do.' (27:34)
(Sulayman said,) 'Return to them. We will come to them with troops they
cannot face and we will expel them from it abased and humiliated.' (27:37)
They tried to outwit him but We made them the lowest. (37:98)
You will see them as they are exposed to it, abject in their abasement,
glancing around them furtively. Those who believe will say, 'Truly the
losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of
Rising.' The wrongdoers are in an everlasting punishment. (42:45)
Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger will be subdued and overcome
as those before them were also subdued and overcome.We have sent down
Clear Signs. The disbelievers will have a humiliating punishment. (58:5)
Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, such people will be among the
most abased. (58:20)
Whatever palm-trees you cut down, or left standing upright on their roots,
it was done by Allah's permission in order to disgrace the deviators.
(59:5)
ABEL
(HÂBIL) AND CAIN (QÂBIL)
Recite to them the true report of Adam's two sons when they offered a
sacrifice and it was accepted from one of them but not accepted from the
other. The one said, 'I shall kill you.' The other said, 'Allah only accepts
from people who guard against evil. Even if you do raise your hand against
me to kill me, I am not going to raise my hand against you to kill you.
Truly I fear Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. I want you to take on
both my wrongdoing and your wrongdoing and so become one of the Companions
of the Fire. That is the repayment of the wrongdoers.' So his lower self
persuaded him to kill his brother, and he killed him and became one of
the lost. (5:27-30)
ABLUTION
You who believe! Do not approach the prayer when you are drunk, so that
you will know what you are saying, nor in a state of major impurity-unless
you are travelling-until you have washed yourselves completely. If you
are ill or on a journey, or any of you have come from the lavatory or
touched women, and you cannot find any water, then take for yourselves
clean earth, wiping your faces and your hands. Allah is Ever-Pardoning,
Ever-Forgiving. (4:43)
You who believe! When you get up to perform prayer, wash your faces and
your hands and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads, and
(wash) your feet to the ankles. If you are in a state of major impurity,
then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey, or have come
from the lavatory, or have touched women, and cannot find any water, then
take for yourselves clean earth, and wipe your faces and your hands therewith.
Allah does not want to make things difficult for you, but He does want
to purify you and to perfect His blessing upon you so that hopefully you
will be thankful. (5:6)
ABODE
(The servants of the All-Merciful are) those who say, 'Our Lord, avert
from us the punishment of Hell, its punishment is inescapable pain. It
is indeed an evil lodging and abode'. (25:65-66)
They will remain in it timelessly, for ever. What an excellent lodging
and abode! (25:76)
ABRAHAM
(SEE IBRAHIM (AS))
ABROGATE
Whenever We abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten, We bring one
better than it or equal to it. Do you not know that Allah has power over
all things? (2:106)
ABU
LAHAB
Ruin to the hands of Abu Lahab and ruin to him! His wealth has not helped
him nor anything he has earned. He will burn in a Flaming Fire. And so
will his wife, the firewood-carrier, with a rope of twisted fibre round
her neck. (111:1-5)
ACT
- ACTION
Give the good news to those who believe and do right actions that they
will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. When they are given
fruit there as provision, they will say, 'This is what we were given before.'
But they were only given a simulation of it. They will have there spouses
of perfect purity and will remain there timelessly, for ever. (2:25)
Those with faith, those who are Jews, and the Christians and Sabaeans,
all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly, will have their
reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow.
(2:62)
No indeed! Those who accumulate bad actions and are surrounded by their
mistakes, such people are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it
timelessly, for ever; whereas those who believe and do right actions,
such people are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever. (2:81-82)
Say, 'Do you argue with us about Allah when He is our Lord and your Lord?
We have our actions and you have your actions. We act for Him alone.'
(2:139)
When those who were followed disown those who followed them, and they
see the punishment, and the connection between them is cut, those who
followed will say, 'If only we could have another chance, we would disown
them just as they have disowned us.' In that way Allah will show them
their actions as a cause of anguish and remorse for them. They will never
emerge from the Fire. (2:166-167)
They will ask you about the Sacred Month and fighting in it. Say, 'Fighting
in it is a serious matter; but barring access to the Way of Allah and
rejecting Him and barring access to the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram)
and expelling its people from it are far more serious in the sight of
Allah. Discord is worse than killing.' They will not stop fighting you
until they make you revert from your religion, if they are able. As for
any of you who revert from their religion and die disbeliever, their actions
will come to nothing in this world and the hereafter. They are the Companions
of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (2:217)
If you make your charity public, that is good. But if you conceal it
and give it to the poor, that is better for you, and We will erase some
of your bad actions from you. Allah is aware of what you do. (2:271)
Those who believe and do right actions and perform prayer and give the
alms, will have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and
will know no sorrow. (2:277)
As for those who disbelieve, their wealth and children will not help
them against Allah in any way. They are fuel for the Fire, as was the
case with the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied Our
Signs so Allah seized them for their wrong actions. Allah is fierce in
retribution. (3:10-11)
(His servants are) those who say, 'Our Lord, we believe, so forgive us
our wrong actions and safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire.' (3:16)
As for those who reject Allah's Signs, and kill the Prophets without
any right to do so, and kill those who command justice, give them news
of a painful punishment. They are the ones whose actions come to nothing
in this world or the hereafter. They will have no helpers. (3:21-22)
Say, 'If you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you and forgive
you for your wrong actions. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.' (3:31)
As for those who believe and do right actions, We will pay them their
wages in full. Allah does not love wrongdoers. (3:57)
... Allah loves the good-doers-those who, when they act indecently or
wrong themselves, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their bad actions
(and who can forgive bad actions except Allah?) and do not knowingly persist
in what they were doing. (3:134-135)
All they said was, 'Our Lord, forgive us our wrong actions and any excesses
we went to in what we did and make our feet firm and help us against these
disbelieving people.' (3:147)
(Believers say,) 'Our Lord, we heard a caller calling us to faith: "Believe
in your Lord!" and we believed. Our Lord, forgive us our wrong actions,
erase our bad actions from us and take us back to You with those who are
truly good.' (3:193)
Their Lord responds to them: 'I will not let the deeds of any doer among
you go to waste, male or female-you are both the same in that respect.
Those who migrated and were driven from their homes and suffered harm
in My Way and fought and were killed, I will erase their bad actions from
them and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, as a
reward from Allah. The best of all rewards is with Allah.' (3:195)
If you avoid the serious wrong actions you have been forbidden, We will
erase your bad actions from you and admit you by a Gate of Honour. (4:31)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit them
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever and ever. In them they will have spouses of perfect purity and
We will admit them into cool, refreshing shade. (4:57)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit them
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever and ever. Allah's promise is true. Whose speech could be truer
than Allah's? (4:122)
Anyone, male or female, who does right actions and is a believer, will
enter the Garden. They will not be wronged by so much as the tiniest speck.
(4:124)
As for those who believe and do right actions, He will pay them their
wages in full and will give them increase from His favour. As for those
who show disdain and grow arrogant, He will punish them with a painful
punishment. They will not find any protector or helper for themselves
besides Allah. (4:173)
Today all good things have been made lawful for you. And the food of
those given the Book is also lawful for you and your food is lawful for
them. So are chaste women from among the believers and chaste women of
those given the Book before you, once you have given them their dowries
in marriage, not in fornication or taking them as lovers. But as for anyone
who rejects faith, his actions will come to nothing and in the hereafter
he will be among the losers. (5:5)
Allah has promised those who believe and do right actions forgiveness
and an immense reward. (5:9)
Allah made a covenant with the tribe of Israel and We raised up twelve
leaders from among them. Allah said, 'I am with you. If you perform prayer
and give the alms, and believe in My Messengers and respect and support
them, and make a generous loan to Allah, I will erase your wrong actions
from you and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing under them. Any
of you who disbelieve after that have gone astray from the right way.'
(5:12)
The Jews and Christians say, 'We are Allah's children and His loved ones.'
Say: 'Why, then, does He punish you for your wrong actions? No, you are
merely human beings among those He has created. He forgives whoever He
wills and He punishes whoever He wills. The kingdom of the heavens and
the earth and everything between them belongs to Allah. He is our final
destination.' (5:18)
Judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not follow their
whims and desires. And beware of them lest they lure you away from some
of what Allah has sent down to you. If they turn their backs, then know
that Allah wants to afflict them with some of their wrong actions. Many
of mankind are deviators. (5:49)
Those who believe say, 'Are these the people who swore by Allah, with
their most earnest oaths, that they were with you?' Their actions have
come to nothing and they now are losers. (5:53)
Those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabaeans and the Christians,
all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly will feel no
fear and will know no sorrow. (5:69)
Those who believe and do right actions are not to blame for anything
they have eaten provided they guard against evil and have faith and do
right actions, and then again guard against evil and have faith, and then
guard against evil and do good. Allah loves good-doers. (5:93)
Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which
We had established on the earth far more firmly than We have established
you? We sent down heaven upon them in abundant rain and made rivers flow
under them. But We destroyed them for their wrong actions and raised up
further generations after them. (6:6)
Do not curse those they call upon besides Allah, in case that makes them
curse Allah in animosity, without knowledge. In this way We make the actions
of every nation seem attractive to them. Then they will return to their
Lord, and He will inform them about what they did. (6:108)
As for those who believe and do right actions-We impose on no self any
more than it can bear-they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever. (7:42)
Is it not clear to those who have inherited the earth after these people
that, if We wanted to, We could strike them for their wrong actions, sealing
up their hearts so that they cannot hear? (7:100)
As for those who denied Our Signs and the encounter of the hereafter,
their actions will come to nothing. Will they be repaid except for what
they did? (7:147)
But as for those who do evil actions and then subsequently repent and
believe, in that case your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (7:153)
You who believe! If you have fear of Allah, He will give you discrimination
and erase your bad actions from you and forgive you. Allah's favour is
indeed immense. (8:29)
Do not be like those who left their homes in arrogance, showing off to
people and barring them from the way of Allah-Allah encompasses what they
do-when Satan made their actions appear good to them, saying, 'No one
will overcome you today for I am at your side.' But when the two parties
came in sight of one another, he turned right round on his heels saying,
'I wash my hands of you. I see what you do not see. I fear Allah. Allah
is severe in retribution.' (8:47-48)
Such was the case with Pharaoh's people and those before them. They rejected
Allah's Signs so Allah seized them for their wrong actions. Allah is Strong,
Severe in Retribution. (8:52)
Such was the case with Pharaoh's people and those before them. They denied
their Lord's Signs so We destroyed them for their wrong actions. We drowned
Pharaoh's people. All of them were wrongdoers. (8:54)
It is not for the idolaters to maintainthe mosques of Allah, bearing
witness against themselves of their disbelief. They are the ones whose
actions will come to nothing. They will be in the Fire timelessly, for
ever. (9:17)
Deferring a sacred month is an increase in disbelief by which those who
have disbelieved are led astray. One year they make it profane and another
sacred to tally with the number Allah has made sacred. In that way they
profane what Allah has made sacred. Their bad actions are made to seem
good to them. Allah does not guide disbelieving people. (9:37)
Like those before you who had greater strength than you and more wealth
and children. They enjoyed their portion; so enjoy your portion as those
before you enjoyed theirs. You have plunged into defamation as they plunged
into it. The actions of such people come to nothing in this world or the
hereafter. They are the lost. (9:69)
They will make excuses to you when you return to them. Say: 'Do not make
excuses, we will not believe you. Allah has already informed us about
you. Allah will see your actions, as will His Messenger. Then you will
be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, and He will inform
you regarding what you did.' (9:94)
But others have acknowledged their wrong actions and mixed a right action
with another which is wrong. It may well be that Allah will turn towards
them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (9:102)
Say: 'Act, for Allah will see your actions, and so will His Messenger
and the believers. You will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and
the Visible and He will inform you regarding what you did.' (9:105)
It was not for people of Madina, and the desert arabs around them, to
remain behind the Messenger of Allah nor to prefer themselves to him.
That is because no thirst or weariness or hunger will afflict them in
the Way of Allah, nor will they take a single step to infuriate the disbelievers,
nor secure any gain from the enemy, without a right action being written
down for them because of it. Allah does not let the wage of the good-doers
go to waste. (9:120)
Each and every one of you will return to Him. Allah's promise is true.
He brings creation out of nothing and then regenerates it so that he can
repay with justice those who believed and did right actions. Those who
disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment
because of their disbelief. (10:4)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, their Lord will guide
them by their faith. Rivers will flow under them in Gardens of Delight.
(10:9)
But as for those who have earned bad actions-a bad action will be repaid
with one the like of it. Debasement will darken them. They will have no
one to protect them from Allah. It is as if their faces were covered by
dark patches of the night. Those are the Companions of the Fire, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever. (10:27)
If they deny you, say, 'I have my actions and you have your actions.
You are not responsible for what I do and I am not responsible for what
you do.' (10:41)
When they had thrown, Musa said, 'What you have brought is magic. Allah
will certainly prove it false. Allah does not uphold the actions of corrupters.'
(10:81)
It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six days when His Throne
was on the water, in order to test which of you has the best actions.
If you say, 'You will be raised up after death,' those who disbelieve
will say, 'This is nothing but downright magic.' (11:7)
Except for those who are steadfast and do right actions. They will receive
forgiveness and a large reward. (11:11)
As for those who desire the life of this world and its finery, We will
give them full payment in it for their actions. They will not be deprived
here of their due. (11:15)
As for those who believe and do right actions and humble themselves before
their Lord, they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever. (11:23)
Your Lord will pay each one of them in full for his actions. He is aware
of what they do. (11:111)
Perform prayer at each end of the day and in the first part of the night.
Good actions eradicate bad actions. This is a reminder for people who
pay heed. (11:114)
Those who believe and do right actions, happiness will be theirs and
a wonderful Homecoming. (13:29)
Their Messengers said, 'Is there any doubt about Allah, the Bringer into
Being of the heavens and the earth? He summons you to forgive you for
your wrong actions and to defer you until a specified time.' They said,
'You are nothing but human beings like ourselves who want to debar us
from what our fathers worshipped; so bring us a clear authority.' (14:10)
The metaphor of those who reject their Lord is that their actions are
like ashes scattered by strong winds on a stormy day. They have no power
at all over anything they have earned. That is extreme misguidance. (14:18)
Those who believed and did right actions will be admitted into Gardens
with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever
by the permission of their Lord. Their greeting there is 'Peace!' (14:23)
The evil actions they did assailed them. They were engulfed by what they
mocked. (16:34)
Do those who plot evil actions feel secure that Allah will not cause
the earth to swallow them up or that a punishment will not come upon them
from where they least expect? (16:45)
If Allah were to punish people for their wrong actions, not a single
creature would be left upon the earth, but He defers them till a predetermined
time. When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single
hour nor can they bring it forward. (16:61)
By Allah, We sent Messengers to communities before your time, but Satan
made their actions seem good to them. Therefore today he is their protector.
They will have a painful punishment. (16:63)
Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will give
them a good life and We will recompense them according to the best of
what they did. (16:97)
This Qur'an guides to the most upright Way and gives good news to the
believers who do right actions that they will have a large reward. (17:9)
How many generations We destroyed after Nuh! Your Lord is well able to
be aware of and see the wrong actions of His servants! (17:17)
It is straight, to warn of violent force direct from Him, and to give
the good news to the believers, those who do right actions, that for them
there is an excellent reward. (18:2)
We made everything on the earth adornment for it so that We could test
them to see whose actions are the best. (18:7)
Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord morning
and evening, desiring His face. Do not turn your eyes from them, desiring
the attractions of this world. And do not obey someone whose heart We
have made neglectful of Our remembrance and who follows his own whims
and desires and whose life has transgressed all bounds. (18:28)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will not let the
wage of good-doers go to waste. (18:30)
Wealth and sons are the embellishment of the life of this world. But,
in your Lord's sight, right actions which are lasting bring a better reward
and are a better basis for hope. (18:46)
(Dhu'l-Qarnayn said,) 'But as for him who believes and acts rightly,
he will receive the best of rewards and we will issue a command, making
things easy for him.' (18:88)
Say: 'Shall I inform you of the greatest losers in their actions?' (18:103)
Those are the people who reject their Lord's Signs and the meeting with
Him. Their actions will come to nothing and, on the Day of Rising, We
will not assign them any weight. (18:105)
Those who believe and do right actions will have the Gardens of Firdaws
as hospitality. (18:107)
Say: 'I am only a human being like yourselves. It is revealed to me that
your god is One God. So let him who hopes to meet his Lord act rightly
and not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord.' (18:110)
Except for those who repent and believe and act rightly. They will enter
the Garden and they will not be wronged in any way. (19:60)
Allah augments those who are guided by giving them greater guidance.
In your Lord's sight, right actions which are lasting are better both
in reward and end result. (19:76)
As for those who believe and do right actions, the All-Merciful will
bestow His love on them. (19:96)
But as for those who come to Him as believers, having done right actions,
they will have the highest ranks. (20:75)
But I am Ever-Forgiving to anyone who repents and believes and acts rightly
and then is guided. (20:82)
But anyone who does right actions, being a believer, need fear no wrong
or any belittlement. (20:112)
We made them leaders, guiding by Our command, and revealed to them how
to do good actions and perform prayer and give the alms, and they worshipped
Us. (21:73)
We responded to him and gave him Yahya, restoring for him his wife's
fertility. They outdid one another in good actions, calling out to Us
in yearning and in awe, and humbling themselves to Us. (21:90)
As for anyone who does right actions and is a believer, his striving
certainly does not go unthanked. We are writing it down on his behalf.
(21:94)
Allah will admit those who believe and do right actions into Gardens
with rivers flowing under them. Allah does whatever He wishes. (22:14)
But Allah will admit those who believe and do right actions into Gardens
with rivers flowing under them where they will be adorned with gold bracelets
and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk. (22:23)
As for those who believe and do right actions, they will have forgiveness
and generous provision. (22:50)
Sovereignty on that Day will be Allah's. He will judge between them.
Those who believe and do right actions will be in Gardens of Delight.
(22:56)
Messengers, eat of the good things and act rightly. I most certainly
know what you do. (23:51)
When death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord, send me back again
so that perhaps I may act rightly regarding the things I failed to do!'
No indeed! It is just words he utters. Before them there is an interspace
until the Day they are raised up. (23:99-100)
But the actions of those who disbelieve are like a mirage in the desert.
A thirsty man thinks it is water but when he reaches it, he finds it to
be nothing at all, but he finds Allah there. He will pay him his account
in full. Allah is swift at reckoning. (24:39)
Or they (the actions of those who disbelieve) are like the darkness of
a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above
which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. If he puts out
his hand, he can scarcely see it. Those Allah gives no light to, they
have no light. (24:40)
Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that
He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them
successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which
He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. 'They worship
Me, not associating anything with Me.' Any who disbelieve after that,
such people are deviators. (24:55)
We will advance on the actions they have done and make them scattered
specks of dust. (25:23)
Put your trust in the Living who does not die and glorify Him with praise.
He is well aware of the wrong actions of His servants. (25:58)
Except for those who repent and believe and act rightly: Allah will transform
the wrong actions of such people into good-Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful-for certainly all who repent and act rightly have turned sincerely
towards Allah. (25:70-71)
Do you not see how they ramble on in every style and say things which
they do not do, except those who believe and do right actions and remember
Allah repeatedly and defend themselves after they have been wronged? Those
who do wrong will soon know the kind of reversal they will receive! (26:225-227)
As for those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have made their
actions appear good to them and they wander about blindly. (27:4)
He (Sulayman) smiled, laughing at its words, and said, 'My Lord, keep
me thankful for the blessing You have bestowed on me and on my parents,
and keep me acting rightly, pleasing You, and admit me, by Your mercy,
among Your servants who are righteous.' (27:19)
(The hoopoe said,) 'I found both her and her people prostrating to the
sun instead of Allah. Satan has made their actions seem good to them and
debarred them from the Way so they are not guided.' (27:24)
Those who perform good actions will receive better than them and will
be safe that Day from terror. (27:89)
Those who perform bad actions will be flung head first into the Fire:
'Are you being repaid for anything other than what you did?' (27:90)
When they hear worthless talk they turn away from it and say, 'We have
our actions and you have your actions. Peace be upon you. We do not desire
the company of the ignorant.' (28:55)
But as for those who repent and act rightly, they will hopefully be successful.
(28:67)
But those who had been given knowledge said, 'Woe to you! Allah's reward
is better for those who believe and act rightly. But only the steadfast
will obtain it.' (28:80)
Anyone who does a good action will get something better. As for anyone
who does a bad action, those who have done bad actions will only be repaid
for what they did. (28:84)
Or do those who do bad actions imagine they can outstrip Us? How bad
their judgement is! (29:4)
As for those who believe and do right actions, We will erase their bad
actions from them, and recompense them for the best of what they did.
(29:7)
As for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit them among
the righteous. (29:9)
And 'Ad and Thamud-it must be clear to you from their dwelling places!
Satan made their actions seem good to them and so debarred them from the
Way, even though they were intelligent people. (29:38)
We seized each one of them for their wrong actions. Against some We sent
a sudden squall of stones; some of them were seized by the Great Blast;
some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned. Allah did
not wrong them; rather they wronged themselves. (29:40)
As for those who believe and do right actions, We will lodge them in
lofty chambers in the Garden, with rivers flowing under them, remaining
in them timelessly, for ever. How excellent is the reward of those who
act. (29:58)
As for those who believed and did right actions, they will be made joyful
in a verdant meadow. (30:15)
Those who disbelieved will find that their disbelief was against themselves.
Those who did right were making the way easy for themselves; so that He
can repay with His bounty those who believed and did right actions. He
certainly does not love the disbelievers. (30:44-45)
For those who believe and do right actions there are Gardens of Delight.
(31:8)
If only you could see the evildoers hanging their heads in shame before
their Lord: 'Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, so send us back
again and we will act rightly. Truly we now have certainty.' (32:12)
As for those who believe and do right actions, they will have the Gardens
of Safe Refuge as hospitality for what they used to do. (32:19)
Allah knows the obstructers among you and those who say to their brothers,
'Come to us,' and who only come to fight a very little, and are begrudging
towards you. Then when fear comes, you see them looking at you, their
eyes rolling like people scared to death. But when fear departs they flay
you with sharp tongues, grasping for wealth. Such people have no faith
and Allah will make their actions come to nothing. That is easy for Allah.
(33:18-19)
But those of you who are obedient to Allah and His Messenger and act
rightly will be given their reward twice over; and We have prepared generous
provision for them. (33:31)
He will put your actions right for you and forgive you your wrong deeds.
All who obey Allah and His Messenger have won a mighty victory. (33:71)
This is so that He may recompense those who believe and do right actions.
They will have forgiveness and generous provision. (34:4)
'Make full-length coats of mail, measuring the links with care. And act
rightly, all of you, for I see what you do.' (34:11)
It is not your wealth or your children that will bring you near to Us-only
in the case of people who believe and act rightly; such people will have
a double recompense for what they did. They will be safe from all harm
in the High Halls of Paradise. (34:37)
Those who disbelieve will suffer a harsh punishment. But those who believe
and do right actions will receive forgiveness and an immense reward. (35:7)
And what of him the evil of whose actions appears fine to him so that
he sees them as good? Allah misguides whoever He wills and guides whoever
He wills. So do not let yourself waste away out of regret for them. Allah
knows what they do. (35:8)
They will shout out in it, 'Our Lord! Take us out! We will act rightly,
differently from the way we used to act!' Did We not let you live long
enough for anyone who was going to pay heed to pay heed? And did not the
warner come to you? Taste it then! There is no helper for the wrongdoers.
(35:37)
He (Dawud) said, 'He has wronged you by asking for your ewe to add to
his ewes. Truly many partners are unjust to one another-except those who
believe and do right actions, and how few they are!' Dawud realised that
We had put him to the test. He begged forgiveness from his Lord and fell
down prone, prostrating, and repented. (38:24)
Would We make those who believe and do right actions the same as those
who cause corruption on the earth? Would We make those who guard against
evil the same as the dissolute? (38:28)
What confronts them will be the evil actions which they earned and what
they used to mock at will engulf them. (39:48)
Say (from Me): 'My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves,
do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions.
He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.' (39:53)
It has been revealed to you and those before you: 'If you associate others
with Allah, your actions will come to nothing and you will be among the
losers.' (39:65)
They will say, 'Our Lord, twice You caused us to die and twice You gave
us life. We admit our wrong actions. Is there no way out?' (40:11)
Have they not travelled in the earth and seen the final fate of those
before them? They were greater than them in strength and left far deeper
traces on the earth, yet Allah seized them for their wrong actions and
they had no one to protect them from Allah. (40:21)
Pharaoh said, 'Haman, build me a tower so that perhaps I may gain means
of access, access to the heavens, so that I can look on Musa's God. Truly
I think he is a liar.' That is how Pharaoh's evil actions were made attractive
to him and he debarred others from the Path. Pharaoh's scheming led to
nothing but ruin. (40:36-37)
Whoever does an evil act will only be repaid with its equivalent. But
whoever acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, such a person
will enter the Garden, provided for in it without any reckoning. (40:40)
The blind and the seeing are not the same. Nor are those who believe
and do right actions the same as evildoers. What little heed they pay!
(40:58)
Those who believe and do right actions will have a wage which never fails.
(41:8)
Who could say anything better than someone who summons to Allah and acts
rightly and says, 'I am one of the Muslims'? (41:33)
Whoever acts rightly, it is to his own good. Whoever does evil, it is
to his detriment. Your Lord does not wrong His servants. (41:46)
So call and go straight as you have been ordered to. Do not follow their
whims and desires but say, 'I believe in a Book sent down by Allah and
I am ordered to be just between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord.
We have our actions and you have your actions. There is no debate between
us and you. Allah will gather us all together. He is our final destination.'
(42:15)
You will see the wrongdoers afraid of what they have earned, when it
is about to land right on top of them, whereas those who believe and do
right actions will be in the lush Meadows of the Gardens. They will have
whatever they wish for with their Lord. That is the great favour. (42:22)
That is the good news which Allah gives to His servants who believe and
do right actions. Say: 'I do not ask you for any wage for this-except
for you to love your near of kin. If anyone does a good action, We will
increase the good of it for him. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Thankful.'
(42:23)
He responds to those who believe and do right actions and gives them
increase from His favour. But the disbelievers will have a harsh punishment.
(42:26)
(Believers are) those who avoid major wrong actions and indecencies and
who, when they are angered, then forgive. (42:37)
Whoever acts rightly, it is to his own good. Whoever does evil, it is
to his detriment. Then you will be returned to your Lord. (45:15)
Or do those who perpetrate evil deeds suppose that We will make them
like those who believe and do right actions, so that their lives and deaths
will be the same? How bad their judgement is! (45:21)
As for those who believed and did right actions, their Lord will admit
them into His mercy. That is the Clear Victory. (45:30)
We have instructed man to be good to his parents. His mother bore him
with difficulty and with difficulty gave birth to him; and his bearing
and weaning take thirty months. Then when he achieves his full strength
and reaches forty, he says, 'My Lord, keep me thankful for the blessing
You bestowed on me and on my parents, and keep me acting rightly, pleasing
You. And make my descendants righteous. I have repented to You and I am
truly one of the Muslims.' (46:15)
Everyone will be ranked according to what they did. We will pay them
in full for their actions and they will not be wronged. (46:19)
Our people, respond to Allah's caller and believe in Him. He will forgive
you some of your wrong actions and save you from a painful punishment.
(46:31)
As for those who disbelieve and bar others from the Way of Allah, Allah
will make their actions go astray. (47:1)
But as for those who believe and do right actions and believe in what
has been sent down to Muhammad-and it is the truth from their Lord-He
will erase their bad actions from them and better their condition. (47:2)
Therefore when you meet those who disbelieve strike their necks. Then
when you have decimated them,tie their bonds tightly and set them free
or ransom them, until the war is finally over. That is how it is to be.
If Allah willed, He could avenge Himself on them. But it is so that He
can test some of you by means of others. As for those who fight in the
Way of Allah, He will not let their actions go astray. (47:4)
But those who disbelieve will have utter ruin and He will make their
actions go astray. (47:8)
That is because they hate what Allah has sent down, so He has made their
actions come to nothing. (47:9)
Allah will admit those who believe and act rightly to Gardens with rivers
flowing under them. Those who disbelieve have their enjoyment, eating
as cattle eat, but the Fire will be their final residence. (47:12)
Is someone on a clear path from his Lord like those whose bad actions
have been made to seem good to them and who follow their own desires?
(47:14)
That is because they followed what angers Allah and hated what is pleasing
to Him. So He made their actions come to nothing. (47:28)
If We wished, We would show them to you and you would know them by their
mark and know them by their ambivalent speech. Allah knows your actions.
(47:30)
Those who disbelieve and obstruct the Way of Allah and are entrenched
in hostility towards the Messenger after the guidance has become clear
to them, do not harm Allah in any way and He makes their actions come
to nothing. (47:32)
You who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. Do not make your
actions of no worth. (47:33)
It is He Who sent down serenity into the hearts of the believers thereby
increasing their faith with more faith-the legions of the heavens and
the earth belong to Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise-so that He may
admit the men and women of the believers into Gardens with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and erase their bad
actions from them; and in Allah's sight that is a mighty victory. (48:4-5)
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are fierce
to the disbelievers, merciful to one another. You see them bowing and
prostrating, seeking Allah's good favour and His pleasure. Their mark
is on their faces, the traces of prostration. That is their likeness in
the Torah. And their likeness in the Gospel is that of a seed which puts
up a shoot and makes it strong so that it thickens and grows up straight
upon its stalk, filling the sowers with delight-so that by them He may
infuriate the disbelievers. Allah has promised those of them who believe
and do right actions forgiveness and an immense reward. (48:29)
You who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet
and do not be as loud when speaking to him as you are when speaking to
one another, lest your actions should come to nothing without your realising
it. (49:2)
The desert Arabs say, 'We believe.' Say: 'You do not believe. Say rather,
"We have become Muslim," for faith has not yet entered into your hearts.
If you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not undervalue your actions
in any way. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.' (49:14)
And We will unite those who believed with their offspring, who followed
them in faith, and We will not undervalue their own actions in any way.
Every man is in pledge for what he earned. (52:21)
To whoever avoids the major wrong actions and indecencies-except for
minor lapses-truly your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He has most knowledge
of you when He first produced you from the earth, and when you were embryos
in your mothers' wombs. So do not claim purity for yourselves. He knows
best those who guard against evil. (53:32)
He will forgive you your wrong actions and admit you into Gardens with
rivers flowing under them, and fine dwellings in the Gardens of Eden.
That is the Great Victory. (61:12)
On the Day He gathers you for the Day of Gathering-that is the Day of
Profit and Loss. As for those who believe in Allah and act rightly, We
will erase their bad actions from them and admit them into Gardens with
rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and
ever. That is the Great Victory! (64:9)
That is Allah's command which He has sent down to you. Whoever has fear
of Allah-He will erase his bad actions from him and greatly increase his
reward. (65:5)
(Allah has sent down) a Messenger reciting Allah's Clear Signs to you
to bring those who believe and do right actions out of the darkness into
the Light. Whoever believes in Allah and acts rightly, We will admit him
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them remaining in them timelessly,
for ever and ever. Allah has provided for him excellently! (65:11)
You who believe! Repent to Allah. It may be that your Lord will erase
your bad actions from you and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing
under them on the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those
who believed along with him. Their light will stream out ahead of them
and on their right. They will say, 'Our Lord, perfect our light for us
and forgive us! You have power over all things.' (66:8)
He Who created death and life to test which of you is best in action.
He is the Almighty, the Ever-Forgiving. (67:2)
Then they will acknowledge their wrong actions. Away with the Companions
of the Blaze! (67:11)
(Nuh said to his people,) 'He will forgive you your wrong actions and
defer you until a specified time. When Allah's time comes it cannot be
deferred, if you only knew.' (71:4)
Except those who believe and do right actions: they will have a wage
which never fails. (84:25)
But those who believe and do right actions will have Gardens with rivers
flowing under them. That is the Great Victory. (85:11)
Except for those who believe and do right actions: they will have a wage
which never fails. (95:6)
But those who believe and do right actions-they are the best of creatures.
(98:7)
That Day people will emerge segregated to see the results of their actions.
(99:6)
Except for those who believe and do right actions and urge each other
to the truth and urge each other to steadfastness. (103:3) |
