GOAT
There are eight in pairs: A pair of sheep and a pair of goats-Say: 'Is
it the two males He has made forbidden, or the two females, or what the
wombs of the two females contain? Tell me with knowledge if you are being
truthful.' (6:143)
GOBLET
Vessels of silver and goblets of pure crystal will be passed round among
them. (76:15)

GOING BEYOND THE LIMITS
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)
You who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the case of people
killed: free man for free man, slave for slave, female for female. But
if someone is absolved by his brother, blood-money should be claimed with
correctness and paid with good will. That is an easement and a mercy from
your Lord. Anyone who goes beyond the limits after this will receive a
painful punishment. (2:178)
Fight in the Way of Allah against those who fight you, but do not go
beyond the limits. Allah does not love those who go beyond the limits.
(2:190)
Divorce can be pronounced two times; in which case wives may be retained
with correctness and courtesy or released with good will. It is not lawful
for you to keep anything you have given them unless a couple fear that
they will not remain within Allah's limits. If you fear that they will
not remain within Allah's limits, there is nothing wrong in the wife ransoming
herself with some of what she received. These are Allah's limits, so do
not overstep them. Those who overstep Allah's limits are wrongdoers. (2:229)
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)
You who believe! Do not profane the sacred rites of Allah or the sacred
months, or the sacrificial animals, or the ritual garlands, or those heading
for the Sacred House, desiring profit and good pleasure from their Lord.
When your pilgrimage is over, then you may hunt. Do not let hatred for
a people who debar you from the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) incite
you into going beyond the limits. Help each other to goodness and heedfulness.
Do not help each other to wrongdoing and enmity. Have fear of Allah. Allah
is severe in retribution. (5:2)
GOING TO WASTE
In this way We have made you a middlemost community, so that you may
act as witnesses against mankind and the Messenger as a witness against
you. We only appointed the direction you used to face in order to know
those who follow the Messenger from those who turn round on their heels.
Though in truth it is a very hard thing-except for those Allah has guided.
Allah would never let your faith go to waste. Allah is All-Gentle, Most
Merciful to mankind. (2:143)
(Those killed in the way of Allah are) rejoicing in blessings and favour
from Allah and that Allah does not let the wage of the believers go to
waste. (3:171)
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)
As for those who hold fast to the Book and perform prayer, We will not
let the wage of the righteous be wasted. (7:170)
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)
And be steadfast. Allah does not let the wage of good-doers go to waste.
(11:115)
And thus We established Yusuf in the land so he could live in any place
he pleased. We grant Our grace to anyone We will and We do not allow to
go to waste the wage of any people who do good. (12:56)
They said, 'Are you Yusuf?' He said, 'I am indeed Yusuf, and this here
is my brother. Allah has acted graciously to us. As for those who fear
Allah and are steadfast, Allah does not allow to go to waste the wage
of any people who do good.' (12:90)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will not let the
wage of good-doers go to waste. (18:30)
GOLD
To mankind the love of worldly appetites is painted in glowing colours:
women and children, and heaped-up mounds of gold and silver, and horses
with fine markings, and livestock and fertile farmland. All that is merely
the enjoyment of the life of this world. The best homecoming is in the
presence of Allah. (3:14)
Among the People of the Book there are some who, if you entrust them
with a pile of gold, will return it to you. But there are others among
them who, if you entrust them with just a single dinar, will not return
it to you, unless you stay standing over them. That is because they say,
'We are under no obligation where the gentiles are concerned.' They tell
a lie against Allah and they know it. (3:75)
As for those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers, the
whole earth filled with gold would not be accepted from any of them if
they were to offer it as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment.
They will have no helpers. (3:91)
You who believe! Many of the rabbis and monks devour people's property
under false pretences and bar people from access to the Way of Allah.
As for those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in the Way
of Allah, give them the news of a painful punishment. (9:34)
They say, 'We will not believe you until you make a spring gush out from
the earth for us; or have a garden of dates and grapes which you make
rivers come pouring through; or make the sky, as you claim, fall down
on us in lumps; or bring Allah and the angels here as a guarantee; or
possess a house built out of gleaming gold; or ascend up into heaven-and
even then we will not believe in your ascent unless you bring us down
a book to read!' Say: 'Glory be to my Lord! Am I anything but a human
messenger?' (17:90-93)
They will have Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them. They will
be adorned in them with bracelets made of gold and wear green garments
made of the finest silk and rich brocade, reclining there on couches under
canopies. What an excellent reward! What a wonderful repose! (18:31)
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)
They will enter Gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with gold
bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk. (35:33)
Were it not that mankind might all become one community, We would have
given those who reject the All-Merciful silver roofs to their houses and
silver stairways to ascend and silver doors to their houses and silver
couches on which to recline, and gold ornaments. All that is merely the
trappings of the life of this world. But the hereafter with your Lord
is for those who guard against evil. (43:33-35)
(Pharaoh said to his people,) 'Why have gold bracelets not been put upon
his arms and why is there not a train of angels accompanying him?' (43:53)
Platters and cups of gold will be passed around among them and they will
have there all that their hearts desire and their eyes find delight in.
You will remain in it timelessly, for ever. (43:71)
GOLIATH (JALUT)
When Talut marched out with the army, he said, 'Allah will test you with
a river. Anyone who drinks from it is not with me. But anyone who does
not taste it is with me-except for him who merely scoops up a little in
his hand.' But they drank from it-except for a few of them. Then when
he and those who believed with him had crossed it, they said, 'We do not
have the strength to face Goliath and his troops today.' But those who
were sure that they were going to meet Allah said, 'How many a small force
has triumphed over a much greater one by Allah's permission! Allah is
with the steadfast.' (2:249)
When they came out against Goliath and his troops, they said, 'Our Lord,
pour down steadfastness upon us, and make our feet firm, and help us against
this disbelieving people.' (2:250)
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)
GOOD
Perform prayer and give the alms. Any good you send ahead for yourselves,
you will find with Allah. Certainly Allah sees what you do. (2:110)
Each person faces a particular direction so race each other to the good.
Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together. Truly Allah has power
over all things. (2:148)
Spend in the Way of Allah. Do not cast yourselves into destruction. And
do good: Allah loves good-doers. (2:195)
The pilgrimage takes place during certain well-known months. If anyone
undertakes the obligation of pilgrimage in them, there must be no sexual
intercourse, no wrongdoing, nor any quarrelling during pilgrimage. Whatever
good you do, Allah knows it. Take provision; but the best provision is
fear of Allah. So have fear of Me, people of intelligence! (2:197)
When you have completed your rites, remember Allah as you used to remember
your forefathers-or even more. There are some people who say, 'Our Lord,
give us good in this world.' They will have no share in the hereafter.
And there are others who say, 'Our Lord, give us good in this world, and
good in the hereafter, and safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire.'
They will have a good share from what they have earned. Allah is swift
at reckoning. (2:200-202)
They will ask you what they should give away. Say, 'Any wealth you give
away should go to your parents and relatives and to orphans and the very
poor and travellers.' Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. (2:215)
Fighting is prescribed for you even if it is hateful to you. It may be
that you hate something when it is good for you and it may be that you
love something when it is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know.
(2:216)
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)
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)
(People who guard against evil are) those who give in times of both ease
and hardship, those who control their rage and pardon other people-Allah
loves the good-doers. (3:134)
Any good thing that happens to you comes from Allah. Any bad thing that
happens to you comes from yourself. We have sent you to mankind as a Messenger.
Allah suffices as a Witness. (4:79)
There is no good in much of their secret talk, except in the case of
those who enjoin charity, or what is right, or putting things right between
people. If anyone does that, seeking the pleasure of Allah, We will give
him an immense reward. (4:114)
Who could have a better religion than someone who submits himself completely
to Allah and is a good-doer, and follows the religion of Ibrahim, a man
of pure natural belief? Allah took Ibrahim as an intimate friend. (4:125)
Whether you reveal a good act or keep it hidden, or pardon an evil act,
Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Powerful. (4:149)
And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and conserving
the previous Books. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down
and do not follow their whims and desires deviating from the Truth that
has come to you. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one
of you. Had Allah willed, He would have made you a single community, but
He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. So compete with
each other in doing good. Every one of you will return to Allah and He
will inform you regarding the things about which you differed. (5:48)
If Allah afflicts you with harm, no one can remove it except Him. If
He desires good for you, no one can avert His favour. He bestows it on
whichever of His servants He wills. He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(10:107)
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)
Allah is with those who have fear of Him and with those who are good-doers.
(16:128)
Every self will taste death. We test you with both good and evil as a
trial. And you will be returned to Us. (21:35)
You who believe! Bow and prostrate and worship your Lord, and do good,
so that hopefully you will be successful. (22:77)
Such people are truly racing towards good things, and they are the first
to reach them. (23:61)
The truly good will drink from a cup mixed with the coolness of camphor.
(76:5)
The truly good will be in perfect Bliss. (82:13)
No indeed! The book of the truly good is in 'Illiyun. (83:18)
The truly good will be in perfect Bliss. (83:22)
GOOD-DOERS
Remember when We said, 'Go into this town and eat from it wherever you
like, freely. Enter the gate prostrating and say, "Relieve us of our burdens!"
Your mistakes will be forgiven. We will grant increase to all good-doers.'
(2:58)
Not so! All who submit themselves completely to Allah and are good-doers
will find their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will
know no sorrow. (2:112)
Spend in the Way of Allah. Do not cast yourselves into destruction. And
do good: Allah loves good-doers. (2:195)
There is nothing wrong in your divorcing women before you have touched
them or allotted a dowry to them. But give them a gift-he who is wealthy
according to his means and he who is less well off according to his means-a
gift to be given with correctness and courtesy: a duty for all good-doers.
(2:236)
Those who give in times of both ease and hardship, those who control
their rage and pardon other people-Allah loves the good-doers. (3:134)
So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the best reward of the
hereafter. Allah loves good-doers. (3:148)
Who could have a better religion than someone who submits himself completely
to Allah and is a good-doer, and follows the religion of Ibrahim, a man
of pure natural belief? Allah took Ibrahim as an intimate friend. (4:125)
But because of their breaking of their covenant, We have cursed them
and made their hearts hard. They distort the true meaning of words and
have forgotten a good portion of what they were reminded of. You will
never cease to come upon some act of treachery on their part, except for
a few of them. Yet pardon them, and overlook. Allah loves good-doers.
(5:13)
Allah will reward them for what they say with Gardens with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the recompense
of the good-doers. (5:85)
Those who believe and do right actions are not to blame for anything
they have eaten provided they guard against evil and believe and do right
actions, and then again guard against evil and believe, and then guard
against evil and do good. Allah loves good-doers. (5:93)
We gave him Ishaq and Ya'qub, each of whom We guided. And before him
We had guided Nuh. And among his descendants were Dawud and Sulayman,
and Ayyub, Yusuf, Musa and Harun. That is how We recompense the good-doers.
(6:84)
Do not corrupt the earth after it has been put right. Call on Him fearfully
and eagerly. Allah's mercy is close to the good-doers. (7:56)
When they were told: 'Live in this town and eat of it wherever you like
and say, "Relieve us of our burdens!" and enter the gate prostrating.
Your mistakes will be forgiven you. We will grant increase to good-doers.'
(7:161)
Nothing is held against the weak and sick nor against those who find
nothing to spend, provided they are true to Allah and His Messenger-there
is no way open against good-doers, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(9:91)
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)
And be steadfast. Allah does not let the wage of good-doers go to waste.
(11:115)
Allah is with those who have fear of Him and with those who are good-doers.
(16:128)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will not let the
wage of good-doers go to waste. (18:30)
Their flesh and blood does not reach Allah but your heedfulness does
reach Him. In this way He has subjected them to you so that you might
proclaim Allah's greatness for the way that He has guided you. Give good
news to the good-doers. (22:37)
And when he reached his full strength and maturity, We gave him judgement
and knowledge. That is how We recompense good-doers. (28:14)
As for those who strive in Our Way, We will guide them to Our Paths.
Truly Allah is with the good-doers. (29:69)
Those are the Signs of the Wise Book-guidance and mercy for the good-doers.
(31:2-3)
(O Prophet, tell your wives,) 'But if you desire Allah and His Messenger
and the abode of the hereafter, Allah has prepared an immense reward for
those among you who are good-doers.' (33:29)
We showered blessings upon him and upon Ishaq. Among their descendants
are good-doers and also people who clearly wrong themselves. (37:113)
They will have anything they wish for with their Lord. That is the recompense
of the good-doers. (39:34)
Follow the best that has been sent down to you from your Lord before
the punishment comes upon you suddenly when you are not expecting it;
lest anyone should say, 'Alas for me for neglecting what Allah was due,
and being one of the scoffers!' or lest they should say, 'If only Allah
had guided me, I would have guarded against evil,' or lest he should say,
when he sees the punishment, 'If only I could have another chance so that
I could be a good-doer!' (39:55-58)
But before it there was the Book of Musa as a model and a mercy. And
this is a corroborating Book in the Arabic tongue so that you may warn
those who do wrong, and as good news for the good-doers. (46:12)
GOODS
It is prescribed for you, when death approaches one of you and if he
has some goods to leave, to make a will in favour of his parents and relatives,
correctly and fairly: a duty for all those who guard against evil. (2:180)
You who believe! When you go out to fight in the Way of Allah verify
things carefully. Do not say, 'You are not a believer', to someone who
greets you as a Muslim, simply out of desire for the goods of this world.
With Allah there is booty in abundance. That is the way you were before
but Allah has been kind to you. So verify things carefully. Allah is aware
of what you do. (4:94)
And to Madyan We sent their brother Shu'ayb who said, 'My people, worship
Allah! You have no other god than Him. A Clear Sign has come to you from
your Lord. Give full measure and full weight. Do not diminish people's
goods. Do not cause corruption in the land after it has been put right.
That is better for you if you are believers. (7:85)
An evil generation has succeeded them, inheriting the Book, taking the
goods of this lower world, and saying, 'We will be forgiven.' But if similar
goods come to them again they still take them. Has not a covenant been
made with them in the Book, that they should only say the truth about
Allah and have they not studied what is in it? The Final Abode is better
for those who guard against evil. Will you not use your intellect? (7:169)
It is not fitting for a Prophet to take captives until he has thoroughly
subdued the land. You desire the goods of this world, whereas Allah desires
the hereafter. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (8:67)
My people! Give full measure and full weight with justice; do not diminish
people's goods; and do not go about the earth, corrupting it. (11:85)
Some travellers came that way and then dispatched their water-drawer
who let his bucket down. He said, 'Good news for me, I've found a boy!'
They then hid him (Yusuf) away among their goods. Allah knew very well
what they were doing. (12:19)
He (Yusuf) told his serving men, 'Put back their goods into their saddlebags
for them to find when they arrive back to their families so that perhaps
they will return again.' (12:62)
He said, 'Allah forbid that we should take anyone but him with whom our
goods were found. In that case we would clearly be wrongdoers.' (12:79)
Those who cannot find the means to marry should be abstinent until Allah
enriches them from His bounty. If any slaves you own want to make a contract
to free themselves, write it for them if you know of good in them and
give them some of the wealth Allah has given you. Do not force your slavegirls
to prostitute themselves if they desire to be virtuous women out of your
desire for the goods of this world. If anyone forces them, then after
they have been forced, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (24:33)
Do not diminish people's goods and do not go about the earth, corrupting
it. (26:183)
GOOD WORDS
Remember when We made a covenant with the tribe of Israel: 'Worship none
but Allah and be good to your parents and to relatives and orphans and
the very poor. And speak good words to people. And perform prayer and
pay the welfare tax.' But then you turned away-except a few of you-you
turned aside. (2:83)
Do you not see how Allah makes a metaphor of a good word: a good tree
whose roots are firm and whose branches are in heaven? (14:24)
They have been guided to speak good words and guided to the praiseworthy
path. (22:24)
If anyone wants power, all power belongs to Allah. All good words rise
to Him and He raises up all virtuous deeds. But people who plot evil deeds
will suffer a harsh punishment. The plotting of such people is profitless.
(35:10)
GOSPEL, THE (INJIL)
He has sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming what was there
before it. And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. (3:3)
He will teach him the Book and Wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
(3:48)
(Say,) 'People of the Book! Why do you argue concerning Ibrahim when
the Torah and Gospel were only sent down after him? Why do you not use
your intellect?' (3:65)
You who have been given the Book! Believe in what We have sent down confirming
what is with you, before We obliterate faces, turning them inside out,
or We curse you as We cursed the Companions of the Sabbath. Allah's command
is always carried out. (4:47)
And We sent 'Isa son of Maryam following in their footsteps, confirming
the Torah that came before him. We gave him the Gospel containing guidance
and light, confirming the Torah that came before it, and as guidance and
admonition for those who guard against evil. (5:46)
The people of the Gospel should judge by what Allah sent down in it.
Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are deviators.
(5:47)
If only they had implemented the Torah and the Gospel and what was sent
down to them from their Lord, they would have been fed from above their
heads and beneath their feet. Among them there is a moderate group but
what most of them do is evil. (5:66)
Say: 'People of the Book! You have nothing to stand on until you implement
the Torah and the Gospel and what has been sent down to you from your
Lord.' What has been sent down to you from your Lord increases many of
them in insolence and disbelief. So do not waste your grief on the people
of the disbelievers. (5:68)
Remember when Allah said, ''Isa, son of Maryam, remember My blessing
to you and to your mother when I reinforced you with the Purest Spirit
so that you could speak to people in the cradle and when you were fully
grown; and when I taught you the Book and Wisdom, and the Torah and the
Gospel; and when you created a bird-shape out of clay by My permission,
and then breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission; and healed
the blind and the leper by My permission; and when you brought forth the
dead by My permission; and when I held back the tribe of Israel from you,
when you brought them the Clear Signs and those of them who disbelieved
said, "This is nothing but downright magic";' (5:110)
(Allah said, 'I will prescribe My mercy for) those who follow the Messenger,
the Ummi, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel,
commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good
things lawful for them and bad things forbidden for them, relieving them
of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. Those who
believe in him and honour him and help him, and follow the Light that
has been sent down with him, they are the ones who are successful.' (7:157)
Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth in
return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and they kill and
are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel and
the Qur'an and who is truer to his contract than Allah? Rejoice then in
the bargain you have made. That is the great victory. (9:111)
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)
Then We sent Our Messengers following in their footsteps and sent 'Isa
son of Maryam after them, giving him the Gospel. We put compassion and
mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. They invented monasticism-We
did not prescribe it for them-purely out of desire to gain the pleasure
of Allah, but even so they did not observe it as it should have been observed.
To those of them who believed We gave their reward but many of them are
deviators. (57:27)
GOVERNOR
Some city women said, 'The governor's wife solicited her slave. He's
fired her heart with love. We see that she's the one to blame.' (12:30)
He said, 'What was this past affair of yours when you solicited Yusuf?'
Then they said 'Allah forbid! We know no bad of him.' The governor's wife
then said, 'The truth has now emerged. Indeed I tried to seduce him then
and he has simply told the honest truth.' (12:51)
(Yusuf said,) 'In this way he (the governor) may know at last that I
did not dishonour him behind his back and that Allah most surely does
not guide the deviousness of the dishonourable.' (12:52)
GRAIN
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)
The metaphor of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah is that
of a grain which produces seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred
grains. Allah gives such multiplied increase to whoever He wills. Allah
is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (2:261)
We will set up the Just Balance on the Day of Rising and no self will
be wronged in any way. Even if it is no more than the weight of a grain
of mustard-seed, We will produce it. We are sufficient as a Reckoner.
(21:47)
A Sign for them is the dead land which We bring to life and from which
We bring forth grain of which they eat. (36:33)
And We sent down blessed water from the sky and made gardens grow by
it and grain for harvesting. (50:9)
In it (the earth) are fruits and date-palms with covered spathes, and
grains on leafy stems and fragrant herbs. (55:11-12)
We sent down cascading water from the clouds so that by it We might bring
forth grains and plants. (78:14-15)
Then We make grain grow in it. (80:27)
GRANDCHILDREN
Allah has given you wives from among yourselves, and given you children
and grandchildren from your wives, and provided good things for you. So
why do they believe in falsehood and reject the blessings of Allah? (16:72)
GRAPE
Would any of you like to have a garden of dates and grapes, with rivers
flowing underneath and containing all kinds of fruits, then to be stricken
with old age and have children who are weak, and then for a fierce whirlwind
containing fire to come and strike it so that it goes up in flames? In
this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will
reflect. (2:266)
It is He Who sends down water from the sky from which We bring forth
growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green shoots and
from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from the spathes of the
date palm date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives
and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their fruits as
they bear fruit and ripen. There are Signs in that for people who believe.
(6:99)
In the earth there are diverse regions side by side and gardens of grapes
and cultivated fields, and palm-trees sharing one root and others with
individual roots, all watered with the same water. And We make some things
better to eat than others. There are Signs in that for people who use
their intellect. (13:4)
And by it (water) He makes crops grow for you and olives and dates and
grapes and fruit of every kind. There is certainly a Sign in that for
people who reflect. (16:11)
And from the fruit of the date-palm and the grape-vine you derive both
intoxicants and wholesome provision. There is certainly a Sign in that
for people who use their intellect. (16:67)
They say, 'We will not believe you until you make a spring gush out from
the earth for us; or have a garden of dates and grapes which you make
rivers come pouring through;' (17:90-91)
Make an example for them of two men. To one of them We gave two gardens
of grape-vines and surrounded them with date-palms, putting between them
some cultivated land. (18:32)
By means of it (water) We produce gardens of dates and grapes for you,
in which there are many fruits for you and from which you eat. (23:19)
We place in it gardens of dates and grapes, and cause springs to gush
out in it. (36:34)
Gardens and grape vines, (78:32)
and grapes and herbs. (80:28)
GRAVE
And the Hour is coming without any doubt and Allah will raise up all
those in the graves. (22:7)
The living and dead are not the same. Allah makes anyone He wills hear
but you cannot make those in the grave hear. (35:22)
The Trumpet will be blown and at once they will be sliding from their
graves towards their Lord. (36:51)
They will emerge from their graves with downcast eyes, like swarming
locusts. (54:7)
The Day they will emerge swiftly from their graves as if rushing to rally
to the flag. (70:43)
When the graves are emptied out, each self will know what it has sent
ahead and left behind. (82:4-5)
Does he not know that when the graves are emptied out, and the heart's
contents are brought into the open, that Day their Lord will certainly
be aware of them. (100:9-11)
GREAT ABUNDANCE
Truly We have given you the Great Abundance. (108:1)
GREAT EVENT / OCCURRENCE
When the Great Event occurs, (56:1)
On that Day, the Occurrence will occur. (69:15)
GREED
Rather you will find them (the Tribe of Israel) the people greediest
for life, along with the idolaters. One of them would love to be allowed
to live a thousand years. But being allowed to live would not save him
from the punishment. Allah sees what they do. (2:96)
If a woman fears cruelty or aversion on her husband's part, there is
nothing wrong in the couple becoming reconciled. Reconciliation is better.
But people are prone to selfish greed. If you do good and guard against
evil, Allah is aware of what you do. (4:128)
GREEN
It is He Who sends down water from the sky from which We bring forth
growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green shoots and
from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from the spathes of the
date palm date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives
and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their fruits as
they bear fruit and ripen. There are Signs in that for people who believe.
(6:99)
The King declared, 'I dreamt of seven fat cows which seven thin ones
ate and seven green ears of wheat and seven others which were dry. O counsellors!
Explain my dream to me if you are those who can interpret visions!' (12:43)
(One of Yusuf's fellow-prisoners said,) 'O truthful Yusuf, tell us of
seven fat cows which seven thin ones ate and seven green ears of wheat
and seven others which were dry so that I can return to them and let them
know.' (12:46)
They will have Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them. They will
be adorned in them with bracelets made of gold and wear green garments
made of the finest silk and rich brocade, reclining there on couches under
canopies. What an excellent reward! What a wonderful repose! (18:31)
Say 'He Who made them in the first place will bring them back to life.
He has total knowledge of each created thing; He Who produces fire for
you from green trees so that you use them to light your fires.' (36:79-80)
(Believers will be) reclining on green quilts and exquisite rugs. (55:76)
They will wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade. They will
be adorned with silver bracelets. And their Lord will give them a pure
draught to drink. (76:21)
GREETING - 'PEACE'
When you are greeted with a greeting, return the greeting or improve
on it. Allah takes account of everything. (4:86)
You who believe! When you go out to fight in the Way of Allah verify
things carefully. Do not say, 'You are not a believer', to someone who
greets you as a Muslim, simply out of desire for the goods of this world.
With Allah there is booty in abundance. That is the way you were before
but Allah has been kind to you. So verify things carefully. Allah is aware
of what you do. (4:94)
When those who believe in Our Signs come to you, say, 'Peace be upon
you!' Allah has made mercy incumbent on Himself. If anyone among you does
evil out of ignorance and then afterwards repents and puts things right,
He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (6:54)
There will be a dividing wall between them and on the ramparts there
will be men who recognise everyone by their mark. They will call out to
the people of the Garden: 'Peace be upon you!' They will not have yet
entered it, though they hope. (7:46)
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)
It was said, 'Nuh, descend with peace from Us and with blessings on you
and on the nations which will issue from those who are with you. But there
are nations to whom we will give enjoyment and then a painful punishment
from Us will afflict them.' (11:48)
Our messengers brought the good news to Ibrahim. They said, 'Peace!'
and he too said, 'Peace!' and brought in a roasted calf without delay.
(11:69)
... Angels will enter in to welcome them from every gate: 'Peace be upon
you because of your steadfastness! How wonderful is the Ultimate Abode!'
(13:23-24)
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)
When they came in to him, they said, 'Peace!' He (Ibrahim) said, 'Truly
we are afraid of you.' (15:52)
Gardens of Eden which they enter, with rivers flowing under them, where
they have whatever they desire. That is how Allah repays those who guard
against evil: those the angels take in a virtuous state. They say, 'Peace
be upon you! Enter the Garden for what you did.' (16:31-32)
Peace be upon him the day he (Yahya) was born, and the day he dies, and
the day he is raised up again alive. (19:15)
('Isa said,) 'Peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die
and the day I am raised up again alive.' (19:33)
He (Ibrahim) said, 'Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive
you. He has always honoured me. (19:47)
They will not hear any prattling there-nothing but 'Peace'. They will
receive their provision there morning and night. (19:62)
Go to him and say, "We are your Lord's Messengers so send the tribe of
Israel away with us and do not punish them. We have brought you a Sign
from your Lord. Peace be upon those who follow the guidance.' (20:47)
You who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own until you have
asked permission and greeted their inhabitants. That is better for you,
so that hopefully you will pay heed. (24:27)
There is no objection to the blind, no objection to the lame, no objection
to the sick; nor to yourselves if you eat in your own houses or your fathers'
houses or your mothers' houses or your brothers' houses or your sisters'
houses or the houses of your paternal uncles or paternal aunts or the
houses of your maternal uncles or maternal aunts or places to which you
own the keys or those of your friends. There is nothing wrong in your
eating together or eating separately. And when you enter houses greet
one another with a greeting from Allah, blessed and good. In this way
Allah makes the Signs clear to you so that hopefully you will use your
intellect. (24:61)
The servants of the All-Merciful are those who walk lightly on the earth
and, who, when the ignorant speak to them, say, 'Peace'; (25:63)
Such people will be repaid for their steadfastness with the Highest Paradise,
where they will meet with welcome and with 'Peace'. (25:75)
Say: 'Praise be to Allah and peace be upon His servants whom He has chosen.'
Is Allah better, or what you associate with Him? (27:59)
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)
Their greeting on the Day they meet Him will be 'Peace!' and He has prepared
a generous reward for them. (33:44)
'Peace!' A word from a Merciful Lord. (36:58)
'Peace be upon Nuh among all beings!' (37:79)
'Peace be upon Ibrahim.' (37:109)
'Peace be upon Musa and Harun!' (37:120)
'Peace be upon the family of Ilyas!' (37:130)
And peace be upon the Messengers. (37:181)
And those who guard against evil of their Lord will be driven to the
Garden in companies and when they arrive there, finding its gates open,
its custodians will say to them, 'Peace be upon you! You have done well
so enter it timelessly, for ever.' (39:73)
Turn from them and say, 'Peace! You will soon come to know.' (43:89)
When they entered his dwelling and said, 'Peace!', he (Ibrahim) said,
'Peace, to people we do not know.' (51:25)
All that is said is, 'Peace! Peace!' (56:26)
'Peace be upon you!' from the Companions of the Right. (56:91)
Do you not see those who were forbidden to confer together secretly returning
to the very thing they were forbidden to do, and conferring together secretly
in wrongdoing and enmity and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they
come to you they greet you with words Allah has never used in greeting
you, and say to themselves 'Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?'
Hell will be enough for them! They will roast in it. What an evil destination!
(58:8)
GUARANTOR
They said, 'We're missing the goblet of the king. The man who brings
it will get a camel's load. Regarding that I stand as guarantor.' (12:72)
Be true to Allah's contract when you have agreed to it, and do not break
your oaths once they are confirmed and you have made Allah your guarantee.
Allah knows what you do. (16:91)
GUARDIAN
You who believe! When you take on a debt for a specified period, write
it down. A writer should write it down between you justly. No writer should
refuse to write; as Allah has taught him, so he should write. The one
incurring the debt should dictate and should have fear of Allah his Lord
and not reduce it in any way. If the person incurring the debt is incompetent
or weak or unable to dictate, then his guardian should dictate for him
justly. Two men among you should act as witnesses. But if there are not
two men, then a man and two women with whom you are satisfied as witnesses;
then if one of them forgets, the other can remind her. Witnesses should
not refuse when they are called upon. Do not think it too trivial to write
down, whether small or large, with the date that it falls due. Doing that
is more just in Allah's sight and more helpful when bearing witness and
more likely to eliminate any doubt-unless it is an immediate transaction
hand to hand, taken and given without delay. There is nothing wrong in
your not writing that down. Call witnesses when you trade. Neither writer
nor witness should be put under pressure. If you do that, it is deviancy
on your part. Have fear of Allah and Allah will give you knowledge. Allah
has knowledge of all things. (2:282)
(Believers are) those to whom people said, 'The people have gathered
against you, so fear them.' But that merely increased their faith and
they said, 'Allah is enough for us and the Best of Guardians.' (3:173)
They have the word, 'Obedience!' on their tongues but when they leave
your presence, a group of them spend the night plotting to do other than
what you say. Allah is recording their nocturnal plotting. So let them
be and put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian. (4:81)
Here you are arguing on their behalf in this world, but who will argue
with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Rising? Who will act as guardian
for them then? (4:109)
What is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. Allah suffices
as a Guardian (4:132)
People of the Book! Do not go to excess in your religion. Say nothing
but the truth about Allah. The Messiah, 'Isa son of Maryam, was only the
Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He cast into Maryam, and a Spirit
from Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Do not say, 'Three.'
It is better that you stop. Allah is only One God. He is too Glorious
to have a son! Everything in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him.
Allah suffices as a Guardian. (4:171)
Your people deny it and yet it is the Truth. Say: 'I am not here as your
guardian.' (6:66)
If Allah had willed, they would not have associated anything with Him.
We did not appoint you over them as their keeper and you are not set over
them as their guardian. (6:107)
Say: 'Mankind! The truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever is guided
is only guided for his own good. Whoever is misguided is only misguided
to his detriment. I have not been set over you as a guardian.' (10:108)
Perhaps you are leaving aside part of what has been revealed to you and
your breast is constricted by this because they say, 'Why has treasure
not been sent down to him or an angel not accompanied him?' You are only
a warner and Allah is Guardian over all things. (11:12)
He said, 'I will not send him out with you until you make a covenant
with Allah to bring him home unless you are overwhelmed.' When they had
made their covenant, he said, 'Allah is Guardian over what we say.' (12:66)
We gave Musa the Book and made it guidance for the tribe of Israel: 'Do
not take anyone besides Me as a guardian.' (17:2)
Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He will have mercy on you, and,
if He wills, He will punish you. We did not send you to be their guardian.
(17:54)
(Allah said to Satan,) 'But as for My servants, you will not have any
authority over them.' Your Lord suffices as a guardian. (17:65)
Do you feel secure against Him causing the shore to swallow you up or
sending against you a sudden squall of stones? Then you will find no one
to be your guardian. (17:68)
Have you seen him who has taken his whims and desires to be his god?
Will you then be his guardian? (25:43)
He (Musa) said, 'That is agreed between me and you. Whichever of the
two terms I fulfil, there should be no bad feeling towards me. Allah is
Guardian over what we say.' (28:28)
And put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian. (33:3)
Do not obey the disbelievers and hypocrites and disregard their abuse
of you. Put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Protector. (33:48)
We have sent down to you the Book for mankind with truth. So whoever
is guided is guided to his own good and whoever is misguided, it is to
his detriment. You are not set over them as a guardian. (39:41)
Allah is the Creator of everything and He is Guardian over everything.
(39:62)
As for those who take others besides Him as protectors, Allah takes care
of them. You are not set over them as a guardian. (42:6)
Lord of the East and West-there is no god but Him-so take Him as your
Guardian. (73:9)
GUARDING AGAINST EVIL (TAQWA)
That is the Book, without any doubt. It contains guidance for those who
guard against evil. (2:2)
We made it an exemplary punishment for those there then, and those coming
afterwards, and a warning to those who guard against evil. (2:66)
It is not devoutness to turn your faces to the East or to the West. Rather,
those with true devoutness are those who believe in Allah and the Last
Day, the Angels, the Book and the Prophets, and who, despite their love
for it, give away their wealth to their relatives and to orphans and the
very poor, and to travellers and beggars and to set slaves free, and who
perform prayer and give the alms; those who honour their contracts when
they make them, and are steadfast in poverty and illness and in battle.
Those are the people who are true. They are the people who guard against
evil. (2:177)
You will not be denied the reward for any good thing you do. Allah knows
those who guard against evil. (3:115)
Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden as wide as
the heavens and the earth, prepared for the people who guard against evil.
(3:133)
Do you not see those who were told: 'Hold back from fighting but perform
prayer and give the alms'? Then when fighting is prescribed for them,
a group of them fear people as Allah should be feared, or even more than
that. They say, 'Our Lord, why have you prescribed fighting for us? If
only You would give us just a little more time!' Say, 'The enjoyment of
this world is very brief. The hereafter is better for those who guard
against evil. You will not be wronged by so much as the smallest speck.'
(4:77)
And We sent 'Isa son of Maryam following in their footsteps, confirming
the Torah that came before him. We gave him the Gospel containing guidance
and light, confirming the Torah that came before it, and as guidance and
admonition for those who guard against evil. (5:46)
Musa said to his people, 'Seek help in Allah and be steadfast. The earth
belongs to Allah. He bequeathes it to any of His servants He wills. The
successful outcome is for those who guard against evil.' (7:128)
... Give those who disbelieve the news of a painful punishment-except
those among the idolaters you have treaties with, who have not then broken
their treaties with you in any way, nor granted assistance to anyone against
you. Honour their treaties until their time runs out. Allah loves those
who guard against evil. (9:3-4)
How could any of the idolaters possibly have a treaty with Allah and
with His Messenger, except for those you made a treaty with at the Sacred
Mosque (Masjid al-Haram)? As long as they are straight with you, be straight
with them. Allah loves those who guard against evil. (9:7)
There have been twelve months with Allah in the Book of Allah, from the
day He first created the heavens and earth. Four of them are forbidden.
That is the True Religion. So do not wrong one another during them. However,
fight the idolaters totally just as they fight you totally, and know that
Allah is with those who guard against evil. (9:36)
Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day do not ask you to excuse
them from striving with their wealth and themselves. Allah knows the people
who guard against evil. (9:44)
You who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you
and let them find you implacable. Know that Allah is with those who guard
against evil. (9:123)
That is some of the news of the Unseen which We reveal to you. Neither
you nor your people knew it before this time. So be steadfast. The best
end result is for those who guard against evil. (11:49)
What is the Garden promised to those who guard against evil like? It
has rivers flowing under it and its foodstuffs and cool shade never fail.
That is the final fate of those who guard against evil. But the final
fate of the disbelievers is the Fire. (13:35)
Those who guard against evil will be amid Gardens and Springs. (15:45)
When those who have fear of Allah are asked, 'What has your Lord sent
down?' their reply is, 'Good!' There is good in this world for those who
do good, and the abode of the hereafter is even better. How wonderful
is the abode of those who guard against evil: Gardens of Eden which they
enter, with rivers flowing under them, where they have whatever they desire.
That is how Allah repays those who guard against evil. (16:30-31)
And (We gave Yahya) tenderness and purity from Us-he guarded against
evil. (19:13)
She (Maryam) said, 'I seek refuge from you with the All-Merciful if you
guard against evil.' (19:18)
That is the Garden which We will bequeath to those of Our servants who
guard against evil. (19:63)
Then We will rescue those who guarded against evil and We will leave
the wrongdoers in it on their knees. (19:72)
On that Day We will gather those who guard against evil to the All-Merciful
with due ceremony. (19:85)
We have made it (the Qur'an) easy on your tongue so that you can give
good news to those who guard against evil and warn stubbornly hostile
people by it. (19:97)
We have sent down Clear Signs to you and the example of those who passed
away before you and an admonition for those who guard against evil. (24:34)
Say: 'Is that better, or the Garden of Eternal Life which has been promised
to those who guard against evil? That is their recompense and destination.'
(25:15)
(Believers are) those who say, 'Our Lord, give us joy in our wives and
children and make us a good example for those who guard against evil'.
(25:74)
(On the Day) the Garden will be brought near to those who guard against
evil. (26:90)
That abode of the hereafter-We grant it to those who do not seek to exalt
themselves in the earth or to cause corruption in it. The successful outcome
is for those who guard against evil. (28:83)
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)
This is a Reminder. Those who guard against evil will have a good Homecoming.
(38:49)
He who brings the truth and he who confirms it-those are the people who
guard against evil. (39:33)
Follow the best that has been sent down to you from your Lord before
the punishment comes upon you suddenly when you are not expecting it;
lest anyone should say, 'Alas for me for neglecting what Allah was due,
and being one of the scoffers!' or lest they should say, 'If only Allah
had guided me, I would have guarded against evil.' (39:55-57)
Allah will give security those who guarded against evil in their victorious
Safe Haven. No evil will touch them and they will know no sorrow. (39:61)
Were it not that mankind might all become one community, We would have
given those who reject the All-Merciful silver roofs to their houses and
silver stairways to ascend and silver doors to their houses and silver
couches on which to recline, and gold ornaments. All that is merely the
trappings of the life of this world. But the hereafter with your Lord
is for those who guard against evil. (43:33-35)
On that Day the closest friends will be enemies to one another-except
for those who guard against evil. (43:67)
The people who guard against evil will be in a safe place. (44:51)
They will not help you in any way against Allah. The wrongdoers are protectors
of one another but Allah is the Protector of those who guard against evil.
(45:19)
An image of the Garden which is promised to those who guard against evil:
in it there are rivers of water which will never spoil and rivers of milk
whose taste will never change and rivers of wine, delightful to all who
drink it, and rivers of honey of undiluted purity; in it they will have
fruit of every kind and forgiveness from their Lord. Is that like those
who will be in the Fire timelessly, for ever, with boiling water to drink
which lacerates their bowels? (47:15)
The people who guard against evil will be in Gardens of Delight. (52:17)
The people who guard against evil will be amid Gardens and Rivers. (54:54)
The people who guard against evil will have Gardens of Delight with their
Lord. (68:34)
For those who guard against evil there is triumph. (78:31)
GUARDS OF HELL
(The guard of Hell will be told,) 'Seize him and drag him bodily into
the middle of the Blazing Fire. Then pour the punishment of boiling water
on his head.' 'Taste that! You are the mighty one, the noble one!' (44:47-49)
We have only appointed angels as masters of the Fire and We have only
specified their number as a trial for those who disbelieve; so that those
who were given the Book might gain in certainty, and those who believe
might increase in their faith, and both those who were given the Book
and the believers might have no doubt; and so that those with sickness
in their hearts and the disbelievers might say, 'What did Allah intend
by this example?' In this way Allah misguides those He wills and guides
those He wills. No one knows the legions of your Lord but Him. This is
nothing but a reminder to all human beings. (74:31)
We will call the Guards of Hell! (96:18)
GUIDANCE
That is the Book, without any doubt. It contains guidance for those who
guard against evil. (2:2)
The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you
follow their religion. Say, 'Allah's guidance is the true guidance.' If
you were to follow their whims and desires, after the knowledge that has
come to you, you would find no protector or helper against Allah. (2:120)
They say, 'Be Jews or Christians and you will be guided.' Say, 'Rather
adopt the religion of Ibrahim, a man of natural pure belief. He was not
one of the idolaters.' (2:135)
If their faith is the same as yours then they are guided. But if they
turn away, they are entrenched in hostility. Allah will be enough for
you against them. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (2:137)
When they are told, 'Follow what Allah has sent down to you,' They say,
'We are following what we found our fathers doing.' What, even though
their fathers did not understand a thing and were not guided! (2:170)
The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur'an was sent down as
guidance for mankind, with Clear Signs containing guidance and discrimination.
Any of you who are resident for the month should fast it. But any of you
who are ill or on a journey should fast a number of other days. Allah
desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you. You should
complete the number of days and proclaim Allah's greatness for the guidance
He has given you so that hopefully you will be thankful. (2:185)
If My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of the
caller when he calls on Me. They should therefore respond to Me and believe
in Me so that hopefully they will be rightly guided. (2:186)
There is nothing wrong in seeking bounty from your Lord. When you pour
down from Arafat, remember Allah at the Sacred Landmark. Remember Him
because He has guided you, even though before this you were astray. (2:198)
Do not trust anyone except for those who follow your religion.' Say,
'Allah's guidance is true guidance. But you think it is impossible for
anyone to be given the same as you were given, or to argue with you before
your Lord.' Say, 'All favour is in Allah's Hand and He gives it to whoever
He wills. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.' (3:73)
But if anyone opposes the Messenger after the guidance has become clear
to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will hand
him over to whatever he has turned to, and We will roast him in Hell.
What an evil destination! (4:115)
And We sent 'Isa son of Maryam following in their footsteps, confirming
the Torah that came before him. We gave him the Gospel containing guidance
and light, confirming the Torah that came before it, and as guidance and
admonition for those who guard against evil. (5:46)
You who believe! You are only responsible for yourselves. The misguided
cannot harm you as long as you are guided. All of you will return to Allah
and He will inform you about what you were doing. (5:105)
Say: 'I am forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah.' Say:
'I do not follow your whims and desires. If I did I would go astray and
not be among the guided.' (6:56)
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)
Then when he (Ibrahim) saw the moon come up he said, 'This is my Lord!'
Then when it set he said, 'If my Lord does not guide me, I will be one
of the misguided people.' (6:77)
His people argued with him. He (Ibrahim) said, 'Are you arguing with
me about Allah when He has guided me? I have no fear of any partner you
ascribe to Him unless my Lord should will such a thing to happen. My Lord
encompasses all things in His knowledge so will you not pay heed?' (6:80)
It is He Who has appointed the stars for you so you might be guided by
them in the darkness of the land and sea. We have made the Signs clear
for people who have knowledge. (6:97)
Those who kill their children foolishly without any knowledge and make
what Allah has provided for them forbidden, inventing lies against Allah,
such people are lost. They are misguided. They are not guided. (6:140)
Nor can you say: 'If the Book had been sent down to us, We would have
been better guided than they were.' For a Clear Sign has come to you from
your Lord, and guidance and mercy. Who could do greater wrong than someone
who denies Allah's Signs and turns away from them? We will repay those
who turn away from Our Signs with the worst kind of punishment because
they turned away. (6:157)
One group He guided; but another group got the misguidance they deserved.
They took the Satans as friends instead of Allah and thought that they
were guided. (7:30)
I will divert from My Signs all those who are arrogant in the earth without
any right. If they see every Sign, they will not believe in it. If they
see the way of right guidance, they will not take it as a way. But if
they see the way of error, they will take that as a way. That is because
they denied Our Signs and paid no attention to them. (7:146)
If you call them to guidance, they do not hear. You see them looking
at you, yet they do not see. (7:198)
Say: 'If your fathers or your sons or your brothers or your wives or
your tribe, or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you fear
may slump, or any house which pleases you, are dearer to you than Allah
and His Messenger and striving in His Way, then wait until Allah brings
about His command. Allah does not guide people who are deviators.' (9:24)
Say: 'Can any of your partner-gods guide to the truth?' Say: 'Allah guides
to the truth. Who has more right to be followed-He Who guides to the truth,
or he who cannot guide unless he is guided? What is the matter with you?
How do you reach your judgement?' (10:35)
Among them there are some who look at you. But can you guide the blind,
even though they cannot see? (10:43)

command but Pharaoh's command was not rightly guided. (11:97)
Those who disbelieve say, 'Why has a Sign not been sent down to him from
his Lord?' Say: 'Allah misguides whoever He wills and guides to Himself
all who turn to Him.' (13:27)
What then of Him Who is standing over every self seeing everything it
does? Yet still they associate others with Allah! Say: 'Name them! Or
would you inform Him of something in the earth He does not know, or are
they words which are simply guesswork on your part?' However, the plotting
of those who disbelieve seems good to them and they bar the way. Anyone
misguided by Allah has no guide. (13:33)
They will all parade before Allah and the weak will say to those who
were arrogant, 'We followed you, so can you help us at all against the
punishment of Allah?' They will say, 'If Allah had guided us, we would
have guided you. It makes no difference whether we cannot stand it or
bear it patiently. We have no way of escape.' (14:21)

you, and rivers and pathways so that hopefully you would be guided. (16:15)
You would have seen the sun, when it rose, inclining away from their
cave towards the right, and, when it set, leaving them behind on the left,
while they were lying in an open part of it. That was one of Allah's Signs.

will find no protector for them to guide them rightly. (18:17)
Musa said to him, 'May I follow you on condition that you teach me some
of the right guidance you have been taught?' (18:66)
Those are some of the Prophets Allah has blessed, from the descendants
of Adam and from those We carried with Nuh, and from the descendants of
Ibrahim and Isra'il and from those We guided and chose. When the Signs
of the All-Merciful were recited to them they fell on their faces, weeping,
in prostration. (19:58)
When he (Musa) saw a fire and said to his family, 'Wait here. I can make
out a fire. Maybe I will bring you a brand from it, or will find guidance
there.' (20:10)
He (Musa) said, 'Our Lord is He Who gives each thing its created form
and then guides it.' (20:50)
But then his Lord chose him (Adam) and turned to him and guided him.
(20:122)
He said, 'Go down from it, all of you, as enemies to one another! But
when guidance comes to you from Me, all those who follow My guidance will
not go astray and will not be miserable.' (20:123)

of him. (21:51)
Among people there is one who argues about Allah without knowledge or
guidance or any light-giving Book, turning away arrogantly, to misguide
people from the Way of Allah. He will be disgraced in this world and on
the Day of Rising We will make him taste the punishment of the Burning.
(22:8-9)
In this way We have assigned to every Prophet an enemy from among the
evildoers. But your Lord is a sufficient guide and helper. (25:31)

people's hearts and as a guidance and a mercy so that hopefully they would
pay heed. (28:43)

their whims and desires. And who could be further astray than someone
who follows his whims and desires without any guidance from Allah? Allah
does not guide the people of the wrongdoers. (28:50)
Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you everything in the heavens
and earth and has showered His blessings upon you, both outwardly and
inwardly? Yet there are people who argue about Allah without knowledge
or guidance or any illuminating Book. (31:20)
We gave Musa the Book-be in no doubt about the meeting with him-and made
it a guidance for the tribe of Israel. (32:23)
We appointed leaders from among them, guiding by Our command when they
were steadfast and when they had certainty about Our Signs. (32:24)
Are they not guided by the many generations We destroyed before them,
among whose ruined homes they walk around? There are certainly Signs in
that. So will they not listen? (32:26)
Allah has sent down the Supreme Discourse, a Book consistent in its frequent
repetitions. The skins of those who fear their Lord tremble at it and
then their skins and hearts yield softly to the remembrance of Allah.
That is Allah's guidance by which He guides whoever He wills. And no one
can guide those whom Allah misguides. (39:23)

apart from Him. If Allah misguides someone, he has no guide. (39:36)
We gave Musa the guidance and bequeathed the Book to the tribe of Israel,
as guidance and a reminder for people of intelligence. (40:53-54)

account of what they earned. (41:17)

in it so that hopefully you would be guided. (43:10)
Have you seen him who takes his whims and desires to be his god-whom
Allah has misguided knowingly, sealing up his hearing and his heart and
placing a blindfold over his eyes? Who then will guide him after Allah?
So will you not pay heed? (45:23)
Know that the Messenger of Allah is among you. If he were to obey you
in many things, you would suffer for it. However, Allah has given you
love of faith and made it pleasing to your hearts, and has made disbelief,
deviance and disobedience hateful to you. People such as these are rightly
guided. (49:7)
They are nothing but names which you yourselves have given, you and your
forefathers. Allah has sent down no authority for them. They are following
nothing but conjecture and what their own selves desire. And that when
guidance has reached them from their Lord! (53:23)
That is as far as their knowledge extends. Your Lord knows best those
who are misguided from His Way and He knows best those who are guided.
(53:30)
The metaphor of those who were charged with the Torah but then have not
upheld it, is that of a donkey loaded with weighty tomes. How evil is
the metaphor of those who deny Allah's Signs! Allah does not guide wrongdoing
people. (62:5)

said,) "And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Anyone who
believes in his Lord need fear neither belittlement nor tyranny."' (72:13)

guided? (96:11)
GUT - BOWELS
We made forbidden for the Jews every animal with an undivided hoof, and
in respect of cattle and sheep, We made their fat forbidden for them,
except what is attached to their backs or guts or mixed up with bone.
That is how We repaid them for their insolence. And We certainly speak
the truth. (6:146)
An image of the Garden which is promised to those who guard against evil:
in it there are rivers of water which will never spoil and rivers of milk
whose taste will never change and rivers of wine, delightful to all who
drink it, and rivers of honey of undiluted purity; in it they will have
fruit of every kind and forgiveness from their Lord. Is that like those
who will be in the Fire timelessly, for ever, with boiling water to drink
which lacerates their bowels? (47:15)
