HÂBIL AND QÂBIL (SEE ABEL AND CAIN)
HAJJ (SEE PILGRIMAGE)
HALAL (SEE LAWFUL)
HAMAN
We desired to show kindness to those who were oppressed in the land and
to make them leaders and make them inheritors and establish them firmly
in the land and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their troops the very thing
that they were fearing from them. (28:5-6)
The family of Pharaoh picked him (Musa) up so that he might be an enemy
and a source of grief to them. Certainly Pharaoh and Haman and their troops
were in the wrong. (28:8)
Pharaoh said, 'Council, I do not know of any other god for you apart
from Me. Haman, kindle a fire for me over the clay and build me a lofty
tower so that perhaps I may be able to climb up to Musa's god! I consider
him a blatant liar.' (28:38)
And Qarun and Pharaoh and Haman-Musa came with the Clear Signs to them,
but they were arrogant on the earth. They could not outstrip Us. (29:39)
We sent Musa with Our Signs and clear authority to Pharaoh, Haman and
Qarun. But they said, 'A lying magician.' (40:23-24)
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)
HANDIWORK
You who believe! Wine and gambling, stone altars and divining arrows
are filth from the handiwork of Shaytan. Avoid them completely so that
hopefully you will be successful. (5:90)
(We said to Musa,) 'Throw down what is in your right hand. It will swallow
up their handiwork. Their handiwork is just a magician's trick. Magicians
do not prosper wherever they go.' (20:69)
You will see the mountains you reckoned to be solid going past like clouds-the
handiwork of Allah Who gives to everything its solidity. He is aware of
what you do. (27:88)
He entered the city at a time when its inhabitants were unaware and found
two men fighting there-one from his party and the other from his enemy.
The one from his party asked for his support against the other from his
enemy. So Musa hit him, dealing him a fatal blow. He said, 'This is part
of Satan's handiwork. He truly is an outright and misleading enemy.' (28:15)
Have they not seen how We created for them, by Our own handiwork, livestock
which are under their control? (36:71)
HAPPINESS
On the Day it comes, no self will speak except by His permission. Some
of them will be wretched and others glad. (11:105)
As for those who are glad, they will be in the Garden, remaining in it
timelessly, for ever, as long as the heavens and earth endure, except
as your Lord wills: an uninterrupted gift. (11:108)
Those who believe and do right actions, happiness will be theirs and
a wonderful Homecoming. (13:29)
Some faces on that Day will be radiant. (88:8)
HARAM (SEE FORBIDDEN)
HARDSHIP
(Believers 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)
We sent Messengers to nations before you, and afflicted those nations
with hardship and distress so that hopefully they would humble themselves.
(6:42)
We have never sent a Prophet to any city without seizing its people with
hardship and distress so that hopefully they would be humble. (7:94)
Then We gave them good in exchange for evil until they increased in number
and said, 'Our forefathers too underwent both hardship and ease.' Then
We seized them suddenly when they were not expecting it. (7:95)
When We let people taste mercy after hardship has afflicted them, immediately
they plot against Our Signs. Say: 'Allah is swifter at plotting.' Your
plotting is recorded by Our Messengers. (10:21)
But if We let him taste blessings after hardship has afflicted him, he
says, 'My troubles have gone away,' and he is overjoyed, boastful. (11:10)
So when they came into his presence, they said, 'Your Eminence! Hardship
has hit us and our families. We bring scant merchandise, but fill the
measure for us generously. Allah always rewards a generous giver.' (12:88)
But if We let him taste mercy from Us after he has suffered hardship,
then he says, 'This is my due. I do not think that the Hour is going to
come. And if I am returned to my Lord, I will definitely find the best
reward with Him.' But We will inform those who disbelieve of what they
did and make them suffer a ruthless punishment. (41:50)
For truly with hardship comes ease; truly with hardship comes ease. (94:5-6)
HARUN (AS) (AARON)
Their Prophet said to them, 'The sign of his kingship is that the Ark
will come to you, containing serenity from your Lord and certain relics
left by the families of Musa and Harun. It will be borne by angels. There
is a sign for you in that if you are believers.' (2:248)
We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh and the Prophets who came
after him. And We revealed to Ibrahim and Isma'il and Ishaq and Ya'qub
and the Tribes, and 'Isa and Ayyub and Yunus and Harun and Sulayman. And
We gave Dawud the Zabur. (4:163)
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)
They (the magicians) said, 'We believe in the Lord of all the worlds,
the Lord of Musa and Harun.' (7:121-122)
We set aside thirty nights for Musa and then completed them with ten,
so the appointed time of his Lord was forty nights in all. Musa said to
his brother Harun, 'Take my place among my people. Keep order and do not
follow the way of the corrupters.' (7:142)
When Musa returned to his people in anger and great sorrow, he said,
'What an evil thing you did in my absence after I left! Did you want to
hasten your Lord's command?' He threw down the Tablets and seized hold
of his brother's head, dragging him towards him. Harun said, 'Son of my
mother, The people oppressed me and almost killed me. Do not give my enemies
cause to gloat over me. Do not include me with the wrongdoing people.'
(7:150)
Then after them We sent Musa and Harun with Our Signs to Pharaoh and
his ruling circle, but they were arrogant and were a people of evildoers.
(10:75)
(Her people said to Maryam,) 'Sister of Harun, your father was not an
evil man nor was your mother an unchaste woman!' (19:28)
We endowed him with Our mercy, making his brother Harun a Prophet. (19:53)
(Musa said,) 'Assign me a helper from my family, my brother Harun. Strengthen
my back by him and let him share in my task, so that we can glorify You
much and remember You much, for You are watching us.' (20:29-35)
The magicians threw themselves down in prostration. They said, 'We believe
in the Lord of Harun and Musa.' (20:70)
Harun had earlier said to them, 'My people! It is just a trial for you.
Your Lord is the All-Merciful, so follow me and obey my command!' (20:90)
He (Musa) said, 'What prevented you following me, Harun, when you saw
that they had gone astray? (20:92)
We gave to Musa and Harun the Discrimination and a Shining Light and
a Reminder for the heedful. (21:48)
Then We sent Musa and his brother Harun with Our Signs and clear authority.
(23:45)
We gave Musa the Book and appointed his brother Harun with him as a helper.
(25:35)
He (Musa) said, 'My Lord, I fear they will deny me and that my breast
will be constricted and that my tongue will not be free, so send Harun
as a Messenger as well.' (26:12-13)
They (the magicians) said, 'We believe in the Lord of all the worlds,
the Lord of Musa and Harun.' (26:47-48)
He (Musa) said, 'My Lord, I killed one of them and I am afraid they will
kill me; and my brother Harun is more eloquent than me so send him with
me to support me and back me up. I am afraid they will call me a liar.'
(28:33-34)
We showed great kindness to Musa and Harun. We rescued them and their
people from their terrible plight. We supported them and so they were
the victors. We gave them the clarifying Book and guided them on the Straight
Path, and left the later people saying of them, 'Peace be upon Musa and
Harun!' (37:114-120)
HARUT AND MARUT
They follow what the Satans recited in the reign of Sulayman. Sulayman
did not disbelieve, but the Satans did, teaching people sorcery and what
had been sent down to Harut and Marut, the two angels in Babylon, who
taught no one without first saying to him, 'We are merely a trial and
temptation, so do not disbelieve.' People learned from them how to separate
a man and his wife but they cannot harm anyone by it, except with Allah's
permission. They have learned what will harm them and will not benefit
them. They know that any who deal in it will have no share in the hereafter.
What an evil thing they have sold themselves for if they only knew! (2:102)
HATRED
You who believe! Do not take any outside yourselves as intimates. They
will do anything to harm you. They love what causes you distress. Hatred
has appeared out of their mouths, but what their breasts hide is far worse.
We have made the Signs clear to you if you use your intellect. (3:118)
We also made a covenant with those who say, 'We are Christians,' and
they too forgot a good portion of what they were reminded of. So We stirred
up enmity and hatred between them until the Day of Rising when Allah will
inform them about what they did. (5:14)
The Jews say, 'Allah's hand is chained.' Their hands are chained and
they are cursed for what they say! No! Both His hands are open wide and
He gives however He wills. What has been sent down to you from your Lord
increases many of them in insolence and disbelief. We have incited enmity
and hatred between them until the Day of Rising. Each time they kindle
the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it. They rush about the earth corrupting
it. Allah does not love corrupters. (5:64)
We will strip away any rancour in their (the believers') hearts. Rivers
will flow under them and they will say, 'Praise be to Allah Who has guided
us to this! We would not have been guided, had Allah not guided us. The
Messengers of our Lord came with the Truth.' It will be proclaimed to
them: 'This is your Garden which you have inherited for what you did.'
(7:43)
We will strip away any rancour in their (the heedful's) hearts-brothers,
resting on couches face-to-face (amid Gardens and Springs). (15:47)
Those who have come after them say, 'Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers
who preceded us in faith and do not put any rancour in our hearts towards
those who believe. Our Lord, You are All-Gentle, Most Merciful.' (59:10)
You have an excellent example in Ibrahim and those with him, when they
said to their people, 'We wash our hands of you and all that you worship
apart from Allah, and we reject you. Between us and you there will be
enmity and hatred for ever unless and until you believe in Allah alone.'
Except for Ibrahim's words to his father: 'I will ask forgiveness for
you but I have no power to help you in any way against Allah.' 'Our Lord,
we have put our trust in You and have repented to You. You are our final
destination.' (60:4)
It is the one who hates you who is cut off without an heir. (108:3)
HAYD (SEE MENSTRUATION)
HEALING
Fight them! Allah will punish them at your hands, and disgrace them and
help you against them, and heal the hearts of those who believe. (9:14)
Mankind! Admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for
what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers. (10:57)
(Your Lord revealed to the bees:) 'Then eat from every kind of fruit
and travel the paths of your Lord, which have been made easy for you to
follow.' From inside them comes a drink of varying colours, containing
healing for mankind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who
reflect. (16:69)
We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to the
believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss. (17:82)
(Ibrahim said,) 'and when I am ill, it is He Who heals me;' (26:80)
If We had made it a Qur'an in a foreign tongue they would have said,
'Why have its Signs not been made plain? What! A foreign language for
an Arab?' Say: 'It is guidance and healing for people who believe. Those
who do not believe have heaviness in their ears and for them it is blindness.
Such people are being called from a very distant place.' (41:44)
HEARING
Allah has sealed up their hearts and hearing and over their eyes is a
blindfold. They will have a terrible punishment. (2:7)
Say: 'Who provides for you out of heaven and earth? Who controls hearing
and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from
the living? Who directs the whole affair?' They will say, 'Allah.' Say,
'So will you not guard against evil?'. (10:31)
Those are the people whose hearts, hearing and sight Allah has sealed
up. They are the unaware. (16:108)
Do not pursue what you have no knowledge of. Hearing, sight and hearts
will all be questioned. (17:36)
It is He Who has created hearing, sight and hearts for you. What little
thanks you show! (23:78)
They give them (Satans) a hearing and most of them are liars. (26:223)
Then (He) formed him and breathed His Spirit into him and gave you hearing,
sight and hearts. What little thanks you show! (32:9)
Say: 'It is He Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight
and hearts. What little thanks you show!' (67:23)
HEART
Allah has sealed up their hearts and hearing and over their eyes is a
blindfold. They will have a terrible punishment. (2:7)
There is a sickness in their hearts and Allah has increased their sickness.
They will have a painful punishment on account of their denial. (2:10)
Then your hearts became hardened after that, so they were like rocks
or even harder still. There are some rocks from which rivers gush out,
and others which split open and water pours out, and others which crash
down from fear of Allah. Allah is not unaware of what you do. (2:74)
They say, 'Our hearts are uncircumcised.' Rather, Allah has cursed them
for their disbelief. What little faith they have! (2:88)
Remember when We made a covenant with you and lifted up the Mount above
your heads: 'Take hold vigorously of what We have given you and listen.'
They said, 'We hear and disobey.' They were made to drink the Calf into
their hearts because of their disbelief. Say, 'If you are believers, what
an evil thing your faith has made you do.' (2:93)
Say, 'Anyone who is the enemy of Gabriel should know that it was he who
brought it down upon your heart, by Allah's authority, confirming what
came before, and as guidance and good news for the believers. (2:97)
Those who do not know say, 'If only Allah would speak to us, or some
sign come to us!' just like those before them who said the same as they
say. Their hearts are much the same. We have made the Signs clear for
people who have certainty. (2:118)
Among the people there is someone whose words about the life of this
world excite your admiration, and he calls Allah to witness what is in
his heart, while he is in fact the most hostile of adversaries. (2:204)
Allah will not take you to task for inadvertent statements in your oaths,
but He will take you to task for the intention your hearts have made.
Allah is Ever-Forgiving, All-Forbearing. (2:225)
When Ibrahim said, 'My Lord, show me how You bring the dead to life.'
He asked, 'Do you not then believe?' He replied, 'Indeed I do! But so
that my heart may be at peace.' He said, 'Take four birds and train them
to yourself. Then put a part of them on each mountain and call to them;
they will come rushing to you. Know that Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.'
(2:260)
If you are on a journey and cannot find a writer, something can be left
as a security. If you leave things on trust with one another the one who
is trusted must deliver up his trust and have fear of Allah his Lord.
Do not conceal testimony. If someone does conceal it, his heart commits
a crime. Allah knows what you do. (2:283)
It is He Who sent down the Book to you from Him: verses containing clear
judgements-they are the core of the Book-and others which are open to
interpretation. Those with deviation in their hearts follow what is open
to interpretation in it, desiring conflict, seeking its inner meaning.
No one knows its inner meaning but Allah. Those firmly rooted in knowledge
say, 'We believe in it. All of it is from our Lord.' But only people of
intelligence pay heed. 'Our Lord, do not make our hearts swerve aside
after You have guided us. And give us mercy from You. You are the Ever-Giving.
(3:7-8)
Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate. Remember
Allah's blessing to you when you were enemies and He joined your hearts
together so that you became brothers by His blessing. You were on the
very brink of a pit of the Fire and He rescued you from it. In this way
Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will be guided.
(3:103)
There you are, loving them when they do not love you, even though you
believe in all the Books. When they meet you, they say, 'We believe.'
But when they leave they bite their fingers out of rage against you. Say,
'Die in your rage.' Allah knows what your hearts contain. (3:119)
Allah only did this for it to be good news for you and so that your hearts
might be set at rest by it (help comes from no one but Allah, the Almighty,
the All-Wise). (3:126)
Then He sent down to you, after the distress, security, restful sleep
overtaking a group of you, whereas another group became prey to anxious
thoughts, thinking other than the truth about Allah-thoughts belonging
to the Time of Ignorance- saying, 'Do we have any say in the affair at
all?' Say, 'The affair belongs entirely to Allah.' They are concealing
things inside themselves which they do not disclose to you, saying, 'If
we had only had a say in the affair, none of us would have been killed
here in this place.' Say, 'Even if you had been inside your homes, those
people for whom killing was decreed would have gone out to their place
of death.' So that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge
what is in your hearts. Allah knows the contents of your hearts. (3:154)
You who believe! Do not be like those who disbelieve and say of their
brothers, when they are going on journeys or military expeditions, 'If
they had only been with us, they would not have died or been killed,'
so that Allah can make that anguish for them in their hearts. It is Allah
Who gives life and causes to die. Allah sees what you do. (3:156)
It is a mercy from Allah that you were gentle with them. If you had been
rough or hard of heart, they would have scattered from around you. So
pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult with them about
the matter. Then when you have reached a firm decision, put your trust
in Allah. Allah loves those who put their trust in Him. (3:159)
What assailed you on the day the two armies met was by Allah's permission,
so that He would know the believers, and so that He would know the hypocrites.
They were told, 'Come and fight in the Way of Allah or at least help defend
us.' They said, 'If we knew how to fight, we would certainly follow you.'
They were closer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their
mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah knows best what they are
hiding. (3:166-167)
Allah knows what is in such people's hearts so turn away from them and
warn them and speak to them with words that take effect. (4:63)
Because of the fact that they broke their covenant, and rejected Allah's
Signs, and killed the Prophets without any right to do so and said, 'Our
hearts are uncircumcised,' Allah has stamped them with disbelief, so they
do not believe except for very few. (4:155)
Remember Allah's blessing to you and the covenant He made with you when
you said, 'We hear and we obey.' Have fear of Allah. Allah knows what
the heart contains. (5:7)
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)
O Messenger! Do not be grieved by those who rush headlong into disbelief
among those who say 'We believe' with their tongues when their hearts
contain no faith. And among the Jews are those who listen to lies, listening
to other people who have not come to you, distorting words from their
proper meanings, saying, 'If you are given this, then take it. If you
are not given it, then beware!' If Allah desires misguidance for someone,
you cannot help him against Allah in any way. Those are the people whose
hearts Allah does not want to purify. They will have disgrace in this
world and in the hereafter they will have a terrible punishment. (5:41)
Yet you see those with sickness in their hearts rushing to them, saying,
'We fear the wheel of fate may turn against us.' But it may well be that
Allah will bring about victory or some other contingency from Him. Then
they will deeply regret their secret thoughts. (5:52)
They said, 'We want to eat from it and for our hearts to be at peace
and to know that you have told us the truth and to be among those who
witness it.' (5:113)
Some of them listen to you but We have placed covers on their hearts,
preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. Though
they see every Sign, they still have no faith, so that when they come
to you, disputing with you, those who disbelieve say, 'This is nothing
but the myths of previous peoples!' (6:25)
If only they had humbled themselves when Our violent force came upon
them! However, their hearts were hard and Satan made what they were doing
seem attractive to them. (6:43)
Say: 'What do you think? If Allah took away your hearing and your sight
and sealed up your hearts, what god is there, other than Allah, who could
give them back to you?' Look how We vary the Signs, yet still they turn
away! (6:46)
We will overturn their hearts and sight, just as when they did not believe
in it at first, and We will abandon them to wander blindly in their excessive
insolence. (6:110)
In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet Satans from
both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with delusions
by means of specious words-if your Lord had willed, they would not have
done it, so abandon them and all they fabricate-so that the hearts of
those who do not believe in the hereafter incline towards them and are
pleased with them and perpetrate whatever they perpetrate. (6:112-113)
We will strip away any rancour in their hearts. Rivers will flow under
them and they will say, 'Praise be to Allah Who has guided us to this!
We would not have been guided, had Allah not guided us. The Messengers
of our Lord came with the Truth.' It will be proclaimed to them: 'This
is your Garden which you have inherited for what you did.' (7:43)
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)
These cities-We have given you news of them. Their Messengers came to
them with Clear Signs, but they were never going to believe in what they
had previously rejected. That is how Allah seals up the hearts of the
disbelievers. (7:101)
We created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts they
do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They have
ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No, they are
even further astray! They are the unaware. (7:179)
The believers are those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned,
whose faith is increased when His Signs are recited to them, and who put
their trust in their Lord; (8:2)
Allah only did this to give you good news and that so your hearts would
be at rest. Victory comes from no one but Allah. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
(8:10)
And when He overcame you with sleep, making you feel secure, and sent
you down water from heaven to purify you and remove the taint of Satan
from you, and to fortify your hearts and make your feet firm. (8:11)
And when your Lord revealed to the angels, 'I am with you so make those
who believe firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve,
so strike their necks and strike all their finger joints!' (8:12)
You who believe! Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when He calls
you to what will bring you to life! Know that Allah intervenes between
a man and his heart and that you will be gathered to Him. (8:24)
Remember when Allah showed them to you in your dream as only a few. If
He had shown you them as many, you would have lost heart and quarrelled
about the matter; but Allah saved you. He knows what your hearts contain.
(8:43)
And when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said,
'These people have been deluded by their religion.' But those who put
their trust in Allah will find Allah to be Almighty, All-Wise. (8:49)
And (it is He Who) unified their hearts. Even if you had spent everything
on the earth, you could not have unified their hearts. But Allah has unified
them. He is Almighty, All-Wise. (8:63)
O Prophet! Say to those you are holding prisoner, 'If Allah knows of
any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has
been taken from you and forgive you.' Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'
(8:70)
How indeed! For if they get the upper hand over you, they will respect
neither kinship nor treaty. They please you with their mouths but their
hearts belie their words. Most of them are deviators. (9:8)
He will remove the rage from their hearts. Allah turns to anyone He wills.
Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (9:15)
Only those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day ask you to excuse
them. Their hearts are full of doubt and in their doubt they waver to
and fro. (9:45)
The alms are for: the poor, the destitute, those who collect it, reconciling
people's hearts, freeing slaves, those in debt, spending in the Way of
Allah, and travellers. It is a legal obligation from Allah. Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. (9:60)
The hypocrites are afraid that a sura may be sent down about them, informing
them of what is in their hearts. Say: 'Go on mocking! Allah will expose
everything you are afraid of. (9:64)
So He has punished them by putting hypocrisy in their hearts until the
day they meet Him because they failed Allah in what they promised Him
and because they lied. (9:77)
They are pleased to be with those who stay behind. Their hearts have
been stamped so they do not understand. (9:87)
There are only grounds against those who ask you for permission to stay
when they are rich. They were pleased to be among those who were left
behind. Allah has sealed up their hearts so they do not know. (9:93)
The buildings they have built will not cease to be a bone of contention
in their hearts, until their hearts are cut to shreds. Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. (9:110)
Allah has turned towards the Prophet, and the Migrants (Muhajirun) and
the Supporters (Ansar), those who followed him at the 'time of difficulty',
after the hearts of a group of them had almost deviated. Then He turned
towards them-He is All-Gentle, Most Merciful to them. (9:117)
But as for those with sickness in their hearts, it adds defilement to
their defilement, and they die while they are disbelievers. (9:125)
Each time a sura is sent down, they look at one another, implying, 'Can
anyone see you?' Then they turn away. Allah has turned their hearts away
because they are people who do not understand. (9:127)
Mankind! Admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for
what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers. (10:57)
Then after him We sent Messengers to their people, and they brought them
the Clear Signs, but they were never going to believe in something which
they had previously denied. That is how We seal up the hearts of those
who overstep the limits. (10:74)
Musa said, 'Our Lord, You have given Pharaoh and his ruling circle finery
and wealth in the life of this world, Our Lord, so that they may be misguided
from Your Way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts
so that they do not believe until they see the painful punishment.' (10:88)
See how they wrap themselves round trying to conceal their feelings from
Him! No, indeed! When they wrap their garments round themselves, He knows
what they keep secret and what they make public. He knows what their hearts
contain. (11:5)
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)
... Say: 'Allah misguides whoever He wills and guides to Himself all
who turn to Him: those who believe and whose hearts find peace in the
remembrance of Allah. Only in the remembrance of Allah can the heart find
peace.' (13:27-28)
(Ibrahim said,) 'Our Lord! I have settled some of my offspring by Your
Sacred House in an uncultivated valley. Our Lord! Let them perform prayer!
Make the hearts of mankind incline towards them and provide them with
fruits, so that hopefully they will be thankful.' (14:37)
Do not consider Allah to be unaware of what the wrongdoers perpetrate.
He is merely deferring them to a Day on which their sight will be transfixed,
rushing headlong-heads back, eyes vacant, hearts hollow. (14:42-43)
In that way We insert it into the evildoers' hearts. (15:12)
We will strip away any rancour in their hearts-brothers, resting on couches
face-to-face. (15:47)
Your God is One God. As for those who do not believe in the hereafter,
their hearts are in denial and they are puffed up with pride. (16:22)
Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing at all,
and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that perhaps you would show
thanks. (16:78)
Those are the people whose hearts, hearing and sight Allah has sealed
up. They are the unaware. (16:108)
Do not pursue what you have no knowledge of. Hearing, sight and hearts
will all be questioned. (17:36)
We have placed covers on their hearts, preventing them from understanding
it, and heaviness in their ears. When you mention your Lord alone in the
Qur'an, they turn their backs and run away. (17:46)
We fortified their hearts when they stood up and said, 'Our Lord is the
Lord of the heavens and the earth and We will not call on any god apart
from Him. We would in that case have uttered an abomination.' (18:14)
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)
Both gardens yielded their crops and did not suffer any loss, and We
made a river flow right through the middle of them. (18:33)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who is reminded of the Signs
of his Lord and then turns away from them, forgetting all that he has
done before? We have placed covers on their hearts, preventing them from
understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. Though you call them to
guidance, they will nonetheless never be guided. (18:57)
Their hearts are distracted. Those who do wrong confer together secretly,
saying, 'Is this man anything but a human being like yourselves? Do you
succumb to magic with your eyes wide open?' (21:3)
That is it. As for those who honour Allah's sacred rites should do so
from heartfelt heeding. (22:32)
... Give good news to the humble-hearted, whose hearts quake at the mention
of Allah, and who are steadfast in the face of all that happens to them,
those who perform prayer and give of what We have provided for them. (22:34-35)
Have they not travelled about the earth and do they not have hearts to
understand with or ears to hear with? It is not their eyes which are blind
but the hearts in their breasts which are blind. (22:46)
We did not send any Messenger or any Prophet before you without Satan
insinuating something into his recitation while he was reciting. But Allah
revokes whatever Satan insinuates and then Allah confirms His Signs-Allah
is All-Knowing, All-Wise-so that He can make what Satan insinuates a trial
for those with sickness in their hearts and for those whose hearts are
hard-the wrongdoers are entrenched in hostility-and so that those who
have been given knowledge will know it is the truth from their Lord and
believe in it and their hearts will be humbled to Him. Allah guides those
who believe to a straight path. (22:52-54)
(The believers are) those who give what they have given, their hearts
fearful of their return to their Lord. (23:60)
However, their hearts are overwhelmed by ignorance about this matter
and they do other things as well. (23:63)
It is He Who has created hearing, sight and hearts for you. What little
thanks you show! (23:78)
... there are men who proclaim His glory morning and evening, not distracted
by trade or commerce from the remembrance of Allah and the performance
of prayer and the giving of the alms; fearing a day when all hearts and
eyes will be in turmoil. (24:36-37)
Is there a sickness in their hearts or do they have misgivings or do
they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them? No, it
is simply that they are wrongdoers. (24:50)
Those who disbelieve say, 'Why was the Qur'an not sent down to him all
in one go?' It is so that We can fortify your heart by it. We have recited
it distinctly, little by little. (25:32)
(Ibrahim said,) 'The Day when neither wealth nor sons will be of any
use-except to those who come to Allah with sound and flawless hearts.'
(26:88-89)
The Faithful Spirit brought it down to your heart so you would be one
of the Warners. (26:193-194)
That is how We thread it into the hearts of the evildoers. (26:200)
Certainly your Lord knows what their hearts keep hidden and what they
divulge. (27:74)
Musa's mother felt a great emptiness in her heart and she almost gave
him away; only We fortified her heart so that she would be one of the
believers. (28:10)
Your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they divulge. (28:69)
There are some people who say, 'We believe in Allah,' and then, when
they suffer harm in Allah's cause, they take people's persecution for
Allah's punishment; but if help comes from your Lord they say, 'We were
with you.' Does Allah not know best what is in every person's heart? (29:10)
No, it is Clear Signs reposited in the hearts of those who have been
given knowledge. Only wrongdoers deny Our Signs. (29:49)
In that way Allah seals up the hearts of those who do not know. (30:59)
And do not let the disbelief of those who disbelieve sadden you. They
will return to Us and We will inform them about the things they did. Allah
knows what the heart contains. (31:23)
Then (He) formed him and breathed His Spirit into him and gave you hearing,
sight and hearts. What little thanks you show! (32:9)
Allah has not allotted to any man two hearts within his breast, nor has
He made those of your wives you equate with your mothers your actual mothers,
nor has He made your adopted sons your actual sons. These are just words
coming out of your mouths. But Allah speaks the truth and He guides to
the Way. (33:4)
Call them after their fathers. That is closer to justice in Allah's sight.
And if you do not know who their fathers were then they are your brothers
in the religion and people under your patronage. You are not to blame
for any honest mistake you make but only for what your hearts premeditate.
Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (33:5)
When they came at you from above you and below you, when your eyes rolled
and your hearts rose to your throats, and you thought unworthy thoughts
about Allah. (33:10)
When the hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said, 'What
Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion.' (33:12)
He brought down from their fortresses those of the People of the Book
who supported them and cast terror into their hearts. You killed some
of them and some you took prisoner. (33:26)
Wives of the Prophet! You are not like other women provided you guard
against evil. Do not be too soft-spoken in your speech lest someone with
sickness in his heart becomes desirous. Speak correct and courteous words.
(33:32)
You may refrain from any of them you will and keep close to you any of
them you will. And if you desire any you have left alone, there is nothing
wrong in that. This makes it more likely they will be comforted and not
be grieved, and all of them will be content with what you give them. Allah
knows what is in your hearts. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Forbearing. (33:51)
You who believe! Do not go into the Prophet's rooms except when you are
invited to come and eat. Do not wait there while the food is being cooked.
However, when you are called, go in, and when you have eaten, disperse,
not remaining there to chat with one another. Doing that gives the prophet
trouble though he is ashamed to dismiss you, but Allah is not ashamed
(to tell you) the truth. When you ask his wives for something, ask them
from behind a screen. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts.
It is not right for you to give trouble to the Messenger of Allah or ever
to marry his wives after him. To do that would be a dreadful thing in
Allah's sight. (33:53)
If the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts and the rumour-mongers
in Madina do not desist, We will set you onto them. Then they will only
be your neighbours there a very short time. (33:60)
Intercession with Him will be of no benefit except from someone who has
His permission. So that when the terror has left their hearts they will
say, 'What did your Lord say?' They will say, 'The truth. He is the All-High,
the Most Great.' (34:23)
Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and earth. Allah knows what the
heart contains. (35:38)
One of his followers in faith was Ibrahim when he came to his Lord with
an unblemished heart. (37:83-84)
If you are ungrateful, Allah is rich beyond need of any of you and He
is not pleased with ingratitude in His servants. But if you are grateful,
He is pleased with you for that. No burden-bearer can bear another's burden.
Then you will return to your Lord and He will inform you of what you did.
He knows what the heart contains. (39:7)
Is he whose breast is opened to Islam, and who is therefore illuminated
by his Lord...? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance
of Allah! Such people are clearly misguided. (39:22)
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)
When Allah is mentioned on His own, the hearts of those who do not believe
in the hereafter shrink back shuddering, but when others apart from Him
are mentioned, they jump for joy. (39:45)
And warn them of the Day of Immediacy when hearts rise choking to the
throat. The wrongdoers will have no close friend nor any intercessor who
might be heard. (40:18)
Those who argue about the Signs of Allah without any authority coming
to them do something hateful in the sight of Allah and in the sight of
the people who believe. That is how Allah seals up the heart of every
arrogant oppressor. (40:35)
They say, 'Our hearts are covered up against what you call us to and
there is a heaviness in our ears. There is a screen between us and you.
So act-we are certainly acting.' (41:5)
Or do they ask, 'Has he invented a lie about Allah?' If Allah willed,
He could seal up your heart. By His Words Allah wipes out the false and
confirms the truth. He knows what the heart contains. (42:24)
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)
We established them far more firmly than We have established you and
gave them hearing, sight and hearts. But their hearing, sight and hearts
were of no use to them at all when they renounced Allah's Signs and what
they mocked at engulfed them. (46:26)
Among them are those who listen to you and then, when they leave your
presence, say to those who have been given knowledge, 'What was that he
just said?' They are those whose hearts Allah has sealed up and who follow
their own desires. (47:16)
Those who believe say, 'If only a sura could be sent down.' But when
a straightforward sura is sent down and fighting is mentioned in it, you
see those with sickness in their hearts looking at you with the look of
someone about to faint from fear of death. More fitting for them would
be obedience and honourable words... (47:20-21)
Will they not then ponder the Qur'an or are there locks upon their hearts?
(47:24)
Or did those with sickness in their hearts imagine that Allah would not
expose their malevolence? (47:29)
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. (48:4)
Those Arabs who remained behind will say to you, 'Our wealth and families
kept us occupied, so ask forgiveness for us.' They say with their tongues
what is not in their hearts. Say: 'Who can control Allah for you in any
way whether He wants harm for you or wants benefit for you?' Allah is
aware of what you do. (48:11)
No, you thought that the Messenger and the believers were not going to
return to their families, and that seemed pleasing to your hearts and
you thought evil thoughts and you were a blighted people. (48:12)
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)
Those who disbelieve filled their hearts with fanatical rage-the fanatical
rage of the Time of Ignorance-and Allah sent down serenity to His Messenger
and to the believers, and bound them to the expression of heedfulness
which they had most right to and were most entitled to. Allah has knowledge
of all things. (48:26)
Those who lower their voices when they are with the Messenger of Allah
are people whose hearts Allah has tested for heedfulness. They will have
forgiveness and an immense reward. (49:3)
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)
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)
... It (the Garden) is for every careful penitent: those who fear the
All-Merciful in the Unseen and come with a contrite heart. (50:32-33)
There is a reminder in that for anyone who has a heart, or who listens
well, having seen the evidence. (50:37)
Has the time not arrived for the hearts of those who believe to yield
to the remembrance of Allah and to the truth He has sent down, so they
are not like those who were given the Book before for whom the time seemed
over long so that their hearts became hard? Many of them are deviators.
(57:16)
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)
You will not find people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having
love for anyone who opposes Allah and His Messenger, though they be their
fathers, their sons, their brothers or their clan. Allah has inscribed
faith upon such people's hearts and will reinforce them with a Spirit
from Him and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining
in them timelessly, for ever. Allah is pleased with them and they are
pleased with Him. Such people are the party of Allah. Truly it is the
party of Allah who are successful. (58:22)
It is He Who expelled those who disbelieved among the People of the Book
from their homes to the first gathering-place.You did not think that they
would leave and they thought that their fortresses would protect them
from Allah. Then Allah came upon them from where they least expected it
and cast terror into their hearts. Their houses were pulled down by their
own hands and by the hands of the believers. People of insight, take note!
(59:2)
Those who have come after them say, 'Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers
who preceded us in faith and do not put any rancour in our hearts towards
those who believe. Our Lord, You are All-Gentle, Most Merciful.' (59:10)
They will not fight against you all together as a group except in fortified
towns or behind high walls. Their hostility towards each other is intense.
They are full of bravado in each other's company. You consider them united
but their hearts are scattered wide. That is because they are people who
do not use their intellect. (59:14)
Remember when Musa said to his people, 'My people, why do you mistreat
me when you know that I am the Messenger of Allah to you?' So when they
deviated, Allah made their hearts deviate. Allah does not guide people
who are deviators. (61:5)
That is because they have believed and then returned to disbelief. So
their hearts have been sealed up and they cannot understand. (63:3)
No misfortune occurs except by Allah's permission. Whoever believes in
Allah-He will guide his heart. Allah has knowledge of all things. (64:11)
If the two of you would only turn to Allah, for your hearts clearly deviated...
But if you support one another against him, Allah is his Protector and
so are Gabriel and every right-acting man of the believers and, furthermore,
the angels too will come to his support. (66:4)
Whether you keep your words secret or say them out loud He knows what
the heart contains. (67:13)
Say: 'It is He Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight
and hearts. What little thanks you show!' (67:23)
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)
On the Day the first blast shudders, and the second blast follows it,
hearts that Day will be pounding and eyes will be cast down. (79:6-9)
No indeed! Rather what they have earned has rusted up their hearts. (83:14)
The kindled Fire of Allah reaching right into the heart. (104:6-7)
Say: 'I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the
God of mankind, from the evil of the insidious whisperer who whispers
in people's breasts and comes from the jinn and from mankind.' (114:1-6)
