AFFLUENT
When We desire to destroy a city, We send a command to the affluent in
it and they become deviant in it and the Word is justly carried out against
it and We annihilate it completely. (17:16)
But then when We seize the affluent among them with the punishment, they
will suddenly start praying fervently. (23:64)
Those of you possessing affluence and ample wealth should not make oaths
that they will not give to their relatives and the very poor and those
who have migrated in the way of Allah. They should rather pardon and overlook.
Would you not love Allah to forgive you? Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (24:22)
We never sent a warner into any city without the affluent people in it
saying, 'We reject what you have been sent with.' (34:34)
Similarly We never sent any warner before you to any city without the
affluent among them saying, 'We found our fathers following a religion
and we are simply following in their footsteps.' (43:23)
AGREEMENT
Mothers should nurse their children for two full years-those who wish
to complete the full term of nursing. It is the duty of the fathers to
feed and clothe them with correctness and courtesy-no self is charged
with more than it can bear. No mother should be put under pressure in
respect of her child nor any father in respect of his child. The same
duty is incumbent on the heir. If the couple both wish weaning to take
place after mutual agreement and consultation, there is nothing wrong
in their doing that. If you wish to find wet-nurses for your children,
there is nothing wrong in your doing that provided you hand over to them
what you have agreed to give with correctness and courtesy. Have fear
of Allah and know that Allah sees what you do. (2:233)
Nor is there anything wrong in any allusion to marriage you make to a
woman, nor for any you keep to yourself. Allah knows that you will say
things to them. But do not make secret arrangements with them, rather
only speak with correctness and courtesy. Do not finally decide on the
marriage contract until the prescribed period has come to its end. Know
that Allah knows what is in your selves, so beware of Him! And know that
Allah is Ever-Forgiving, All-Forbearing. (2:235)
And also (forbidden for you are) married women, except for those you
have taken in war as slaves. This is what Allah has prescribed for you.
Apart from that He has made all other women lawful for you provided you
seek them with your wealth in marriage and not in fornication. When you
consummate your marriage with them give them their prescribed dowry. There
is nothing wrong in any further agreement you might come to after the
dowry has been given. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (4:24)
Among them there were some who made an agreement with Allah: 'If He gives
us of His bounty we will definitely give charity and be among the righteous.'
(9:75)
(People of intelligence are) those who fulfil Allah's contract and do
not break their agreement. (13:20)
AHL AL-KITAB (SEE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK)
AHMAD
And when 'Isa son of Maryam said, 'Tribe of Israel, I am the Messenger
of Allah to you, confirming the Torah which came before me and giving
you the good news of a Messenger after me whose name is Ahmad.' When he
brought them the Clear Signs, they said, 'This is downright magic.' (61:6)
AKHIRAH (SEE THE HEREAFTER)
ALAQ
Mankind! If you are in any doubt about the Rising, know that We created
you from dust then from a drop of sperm then from an alaq then from a
lump of flesh, formed yet unformed, so We may make things clear to you.
We make whatever We want stay in the womb until a specified time and then
We bring you out as children so that you can reach your full maturity.
Some of you die and some of you revert to the lowest form of life so that,
after having knowledge, they then know nothing at all. And you see the
earth dead and barren; then when We send down water onto it it quivers
and swells and sprouts with luxuriant plants of every kind. (22:5)
Then (We) formed the drop into an alaq and formed alaq into a lump and
formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought
him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!
(23:14)
It is He Who created you from earth, then from a drop of sperm, then
from an alaq, then He brings you out as infants, then so you may achieve
full strength, then so you may become old men-though some of you may die
before that time-so that you may reach a predetermined age and so that
hopefully you will use your intellect. (40:67)
Was he not a drop of ejaculated sperm, then an alaq which He created
and shaped? (75:37-38)
Recite: In the Name of your Lord Who created, created man from alaq.
(96:1-2)
AL-'UZZA
Have you really considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza and Manat, the third (idol),
the other one? (53:19-20)
ALL THE WORLDS - ALL BEINGS
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. (1:1)
Tribe of Israel! Remember the blessing I conferred on you and that I
preferred you over all other beings. (2:47)
Tribe of Israel! Remember the blessing I conferred on you, and that I
preferred you over all other beings. (2:122)
When his Lord said to him, 'Become a Muslim!' he (Ibrahim) said, 'I am
a Muslim who has submitted to the Lord of all the worlds.' (2:131)
And with Allah's permission they routed them. Dawud killed Goliath and
Allah gave him kingship and wisdom and taught him whatever He willed.
If it were not for Allah's driving some people back by means of others,
the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah shows favour to all the
worlds. (2:251)
Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the family of Ibrahim and the family of
'Imran over all other beings. (3:33)
And when the angels said, 'Maryam, Allah has chosen you and purified
you. He has chosen you over all other women.' (3:42)
Remember when Musa said to his people, 'My people! Remember Allah's blessing
to you when He appointed Prophets among you and appointed kings for you,
and gave you what He had not given to anyone else in all the worlds!'
(5:20)
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. (5:28)
Allah said, 'I will send it down to you but if anyone among you disbelieves
after that, I will punish him with a punishment the like of which I will
not inflict on anyone else in all the worlds!' (5:115)
So the last remnant of the people who did wrong was cut off. Praise belongs
to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds! (6:45)
Say: 'Are we to call on something besides Allah which can neither help
nor harm us, and to turn on our heels after Allah has guided us, like
someone the Satans have lured away in the earth, leaving him confused
and stupefied, despite the fact that he has companions calling him to
guidance, saying, "Come with us!"?' Say: 'Allah's guidance, that is true
guidance. We are commanded to submit as Muslims to the Lord of all the
worlds.' (6:71)
And Isma'il, al-Yasa', Yunus and Lut. All of them We favoured over all
beings. (6:86)
They are the ones Allah has guided, so be guided by their guidance. Say,
'I do not ask you for any wage for it. It is simply a reminder to all
beings.' (6:90)
Say: 'My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for Allah alone,
the Lord of all the worlds.' (6:162)
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days
and then settled Himself firmly on the Throne. He covers the day with
the night, each pursuing the other urgently; and the sun and moon and
stars are subservient to His command. Both creation and command belong
to Him. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. (7:54)
He (Nuh) said, 'My people, I am not in error at all but rather am a Messenger
from the Lord of all the worlds.' (7:61)
He (Hud) said, 'My people, I am by no means a fool, but rather am a Messenger
from the Lord of all the worlds.' (7:67)

perpetrated before you by anyone in all the worlds?' (7:80)

worlds.' (7:104)
They said, 'We believe in the Lord of all the worlds.' (7:121)
He (Musa) said, 'Should I seek something other than Allah as a god for
you when He has favoured you over all other beings?' (7:140)
Their call there is: 'Glory be to You, O Allah!' Their greeting there
is: 'Peace!' The end of their call is: 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of
all the worlds!' (10:10)
This Qur'an could never have been devised by any besides Allah. Rather
it is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book
which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds. (10:37)
You do not ask them for any wage for it. It is only a reminder to all
beings. (12:104)
We delivered both him and Lut to the land which We had blessed for all
beings. (21:71)
And she (Maryam) who protected her chastity. We breathed into her some
of Our Spirit and made her and her son a Sign for all the worlds. (21:91)
We have only sent you as a mercy to all the worlds. (21:107)
Blessed be He Who has sent down the Furqan (Discrimination) to His servant
so that he can be a warner to all beings. (25:1)

Lord of all the worlds."' (26:16)

They said, 'We believe in the Lord of all the worlds.' (26:47)
(Ibrahim said,) 'They are all my enemies-except for the Lord of all the
worlds.' (26:77)

you with the Lord of all the worlds.' (26:97-98)
(The Prophet said,) 'I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is
the responsibility of no one but the Lord of all the worlds.' (26:109,
26:127, 26:164, 26:180)
Truly it is revelation sent down by the Lord of all the worlds. (26:192)
But when he (Musa) reached it, a voice called out to him, 'Blessed be
Him who is in the Fire and all who are around it. Glory be to Allah, the
Lord of all the worlds!' (27:8)
She (Queen of Sheba) was told: 'Enter the courtyard,' but when she saw
it she supposed it to be a pool and bared her legs. He said, 'It is a
courtyard paved with glass.' She said, 'My Lord, I have wronged myself
but I have submitted with Sulayman to the Lord of all the worlds.' (27:44)
But when he reached it a voice called out to him from the right hand
side of the valley in the part which was full of blessing, from out of
the bush: 'Musa, I am Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.' (28:30)
We rescued him and the occupants of the Ark and made that into a Sign
for all the worlds. (29:15)

of the worlds. (32:2)

about the Lord of all the worlds?' (37:87)
And praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds! (37:182)
It is simply a reminder to all the worlds. (38:87)
You will see the angels circling round the Throne, glorifying their Lord
with praise. It will be decided between them with truth. And it will be
said: 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.' (39:75)
It is Allah Who made the earth a stable home for you and the sky a dome,
and formed you, giving you the best of forms, and provided you with good
and wholesome things. That is Allah, your Lord. Blessed be Allah, the
Lord of all the worlds. (40:64)
He is the Living-there is no god but Him-so call on Him, making your
religion sincerely His. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
(40:65)
Say: 'I was forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah when
the Clear Signs came to me from my Lord and I was commanded to submit
to the Lord of all the worlds.' (40:66)
Say: 'Do you reject Him Who created the earth in two days, and make others
equal to Him? That is the Lord of all the worlds.' (41:9)

the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds.' (43:46)
We chose them knowingly above all other people. (44:32)
We gave the Book and Judgement and Prophethood to the tribe of Israel
and provided them with good things and favoured them over all other people.

the earth, Lord of all the worlds. (45:36)
Revelation sent down from the Lord of all the worlds. (56:80)

Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.' (59:16)

It is a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds. (69:43)

But you will not will unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the Worlds.
(81:29)
Do such people not realise that they will be raised up on a Terrible
Day, the Day mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds? (83:4-6)
ALLEGIANCE
Those who pledge you their allegiance pledge allegiance to Allah. Allah's
hand is over their hands. He who breaks his pledge only breaks it against
himself. But as for him who fulfils the contract he has made with Allah,
We will pay him an immense reward. (48:10)
Allah was pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to
you under the tree. He knew what was in their hearts, and sent down serenity
to them and has rewarded them with an imminent victory. (48:18)
O Prophet! When women who believe come to you pledging allegiance to
you on the grounds that they will not associate anything with Allah or
steal or fornicate or kill their children or give a false ascription of
paternity-making up lies about their bodies-or disobey you in respect
of anything right, then accept their pledge and ask forgiveness for them.
Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (60:12) |
