PUBERTY
You who believe! Those you own as slaves and those of you who have not
yet reached puberty should ask your permission to enter at three times:
before the Dawn Prayer, when you have undressed at noon, and after the
Prayer of Night-three times of nakedness for you. There is nothing wrong
for you or them at other times in moving around among yourselves from
one to another. In this way Allah makes the Signs clear to you. Allah
is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (24:58)
Once your children have reached puberty, they should ask your permission
to enter as those before them also asked permission. In this way Allah
makes His Signs clear to you. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (24:59)
PUNISHMENT
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)
Remember when We rescued you from the people of Pharaoh. They were inflicting
an evil punishment on you-slaughtering your sons and letting your women
live. In that there was a terrible trial for you from your Lord. (2:49)
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)
Then you are the people who are killing one another and expelling a group
among you from their homes, ganging up against them in wrongdoing and
enmity. Yet if they are brought to you as captives, you ransom them, when
it was forbidden for you to expel them in the first place! Do you, then,
believe in one part of the Book and reject the other? What repayment will
there be for any of you who do that except disgrace in this world? And
on the Day of Rising, they will be returned to the harshest of punishments.
Allah is not unaware of what you do. (2:85)
Those are the people who trade the hereafter for this world. The punishment
will not be lightened for them. They will not be helped. (2:86)
What an evil thing they have sold themselves for in rejecting what Allah
has sent down, outraged that Allah should send down His favour on whichever
of His servants He wills. They have brought down anger upon anger on themselves.
The disbelievers will have a humiliating punishment. (2:90)
Rather you will find them 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)
You who believe! Do not say, 'Listen to us,' say, 'Look at us,' and listen
well. The disbelievers will have a painful punishment. (2:104)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who bars access to the mosques
of Allah, preventing His name from being remembered in them, and goes
about destroying them? Such people will never be able to enter them-except
in fear. They will have disgrace in this world and in the hereafter they
will have a terrible punishment. (2:114)
And when Ibrahim said, 'My Lord, make this a place of safety and provide
its inhabitants with fruits-all of them who believe in Allah and the Last
Day,' He said, 'I will let anyone who becomes a disbeliever enjoy himself
a little but then I will drive him to the punishment of the Fire. What
an evil destination!' (2:126)
But as for those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers,
the curse of Allah is upon them and that of the angels and all mankind.
They will be under it for ever. The punishment will not be lightened for
them. They will be granted no reprieve. (2:161-162)
Some people set up equals to Allah, loving them as they should love Allah.
But those who believe have greater love for Allah. If only you could see
those who do wrong at the time when they see the punishment, and that
truly all strength belongs to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment.
(2:165)
When those who were followed disown those who followed them, and they
see the punishment, and the connection between them is cut, (2:166)
Those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and sell it cheap,
take nothing into their bellies but the Fire. On the Day of Rising Allah
will not speak to them or purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
(2:174)
Those are the ones who have sold guidance for misguidance and forgiveness
for punishment. How steadfastly they will endure the Fire! (2:175)
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)
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.' (2:201)
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, previously, as guidance
for mankind, and He has sent down the Furqan (Discrimination). Those who
reject Allah's Signs will have a terrible punishment. Allah is Almighty,
Exactor of Revenge. (3:3-4)
(His servants are) those who say, 'Our Lord, we believe, so forgive us
our wrong actions and safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire.' (3:16)
As for those who reject Allah's Signs, and kill the Prophets without
any right to do so, and kill those who command justice, give them news
of a painful punishment. (3:21)
(Allah said,) 'As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a
harsh punishment in this world and the hereafter. They will have no helpers.'
(3:56)
Those who sell Allah's contract and their own oaths for a paltry price,
such people will have no portion in the hereafter and on the Day of Rising
Allah will not speak to them or look at them or purify them. They will
have a painful punishment. (3:77)
They will be under it for ever. Their punishment will not be lightened.
They will be granted no reprieve. (3:88)
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)
Do not be like those who split up and differed after the Clear Signs
came to them. They will have a terrible punishment. (3:105)
On the Day when faces are whitened and faces are blackened. As for those
whose faces are blackened: 'What! Did you disbelieve after having believed?
Taste the punishment for your disbelief!' (3:106)
Do not let those who rush headlong into disbelief sadden you. They do
not harm Allah in any way. Allah desires to assign no portion to them
in the hereafter. They will have a terrible punishment. (3:176)
Those who sell faith for disbelief do not harm Allah in any way. They
will have a painful punishment. (3:177)
Those who disbelieve should not imagine that the extra time We grant
to them is good for them. We only allow them more time so they will increase
in evildoing. They will have a humiliating punishment. (3:178)
Allah has heard the words of those who say, 'Allah is poor and we are
rich.' We will write down what they said and their killing of the Prophets
without any right to do so and We will say, 'Taste the punishment of the
Burning.' (3:181)
Those who exult in what they have done and love to be praised for what
they have not done should not suppose that they have escaped the punishment.
They will have a painful punishment. (3:188)
(People with intelligence are) those who remember Allah, standing, sitting
and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and
the earth: 'Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be
to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire.' (3:191)
As for those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and overstep His limits,
We will admit them into a Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
They will have a humiliating punishment. (4:14)
There is no repentance for people who persist in doing evil until death
comes to them and who then say, 'Now I repent,' nor for people who die
disbelievers. We have prepared for them a painful punishment. (4:18)
If any of you do not have the means to marry free women who are believers,
you may marry slavegirls who are believers. Allah knows best about your
faith; you are all the same in that respect. Marry them with their owners'
permission and give them their dowries correctly and courteously as married
women, not in fornication or taking them as lovers. When they are married,
if they commit fornication they should receive half the punishment of
free women. This is for those of you who are afraid of committing fornication.
But being patient is better for you. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(4:25)
As for those who are tight-fisted and direct others to be tight-fisted,
and hide the bounty Allah has given them, We have prepared a humiliating
punishment for those who disbelieve. (4:37)
As for those who reject Our Signs, We will roast them in a Fire. Every
time their skins are burned off, We will replace them with new skins so
that they can taste the punishment. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (4:56)
As for anyone who kills a believer deliberately, his repayment is Hell,
remaining in it timelessly, for ever. Allah is angry with him and has
cursed him, and has prepared for him a terrible punishment. (4:93)
When you are with them and leading them in prayer, a group of them should
stand with you, keeping hold of their weapons. When they prostrate, the
others should guard your backs. Then the other group who have not yet
prayed should come and pray with you. They too should be careful and keep
hold of their weapons. Those who disbelieve would like you to be negligent
of your arms and equipment so that they can swoop down on you once and
for all. There is nothing wrong, if you are bothered by rain or you are
ill, in laying your weapons down; but take every precaution. Allah has
prepared a humiliating punishment for the disbelievers. (4:102)
Give news to the hypocrites that they will have a painful punishment.
(4:138)
Such people are the true disbelievers. We have prepared a humiliating
punishment for the disbelievers. (4:151)
And because of their practising usury when they were forbidden to do
it, and because of their consuming people's wealth by wrongful means,
We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
(4:161)
As for those who believe and do right actions, He will pay them their
wages in full and will give them increase from His favour. As for those
who show disdain and grow arrogant, He will punish them with a painful
punishment. They will not find any protector or helper for themselves
besides Allah. (4:173)
The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and
go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified,
or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the
land. That will be their degradation in this world and in the hereafter
they will have a terrible punishment. (5:33)
They will want to get out of the Fire but they will not be able to. They
will have an everlasting punishment. (5:37)
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)
Those who say that Allah is the third of three are disbelievers. There
is no god but One God. If they do not stop saying what they say, a painful
punishment will afflict those among them who disbelieve. (5:73)
You see many of them taking those who disbelieve as their friends. What
their lower selves have advanced for them is evil indeed, bringing Allah's
anger down upon them. They will suffer punishment timelessly, for ever.
(5:80)
You who believe! Allah will test you with game animals which come within
the reach of your hands and spears, so that Allah will know those who
fear Him in the Unseen. Anyone who oversteps the limits after this will
have a painful punishment. (5:94)
Allah said, 'I will send it down to you but if anyone among you disbelieves
after that, I will punish him with a punishment the like of which I will
not inflict on anyone else in all the worlds!' (5:115)
Say: 'I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a dreadful
Day.' (6:15)
Anyone from whom punishment is averted on that Day has been shown great
mercy by Allah. That is the Clear Victory. (6:16)
If only you could see when they are standing before their Lord. He will
say, 'Is this not the Truth?' They will say, 'Yes indeed, by our Lord!'
He will say, 'Then taste the punishment for your disbelief.' (6:30)
Say: 'What do you think? If Allah's punishment were to come upon you
or the Hour, would you call on other than Allah if you are being truthful?'
(6:40)
Say: 'What do you think? If Allah's punishment were to come upon you
suddenly by night or openly by day, would any but the wrongdoing people
be destroyed?' (6:47)
The punishment will fall on those who deny Our Signs because they were
deviators. (6:49)
Say: 'He possesses the power to send you punishment from above your heads
or from beneath your feet, or to confuse you in sects and make you taste
one another's violence.' Look how We vary the Signs so that hopefully
they will understand. (6:65)
Abandon those who have turned their religion into a game and a diversion
and who have been deluded by the life of this world. Remind by it lest
a person is delivered up to destruction for what he has earned with no
protector or intercessor besides Allah. Were he to offer every kind of
compensation, it would not be accepted from him. Such people are delivered
up to destruction for what they have earned. They will have scalding water
to drink and a painful punishment because they disbelieved. (6:70)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against Allah
or denies His Signs, or who says, 'It has been revealed to me,' when nothing
has been revealed to him, or someone who says, 'I will send down the same
as Allah has sent down'? If you could only see the wrongdoers in the throes
of death when the angels are stretching out their hands, saying, 'Disgorge
your own selves! Today you will be repaid with the punishment of humiliation
for saying something other than the truth about Allah, and being arrogant
about His Signs.' (6:93)
When a Sign comes to them, they say, 'We will not believe until we have
been given the same as the Messengers of Allah were given.' Allah knows
best where to place His Message. Debasement in the sight of Allah and
a severe punishment will strike those who did wrong for the plots that
they concocted. (6:124)
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)
He will say, 'Enter the Fire together with the nations of jinn and men
who have passed away before you.' Each time a nation enters, it will curse
its sister nation, until, when they are all gathered together in it, the
last of them will say to the first, 'Our Lord, those are the ones who
misguided us, so give them a double punishment in the Fire.' He will say,
'Each will receive double. But you do not know it.' (7:38)
The first of them will say to the last, 'You are in no way superior to
us so taste the punishment for what you earned.' (7:39)
We sent Nuh to his people and he said, 'My people, worship Allah! You
have no other god than Him. I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful
Day.' (7:59)
He (Hud) said, 'Punishment and anger have come down on you from your
Lord. Do you argue with me regarding names which you and your forefathers
invented and for which Allah has sent down no authority? Wait, then; I
am waiting with you.' (7:71)
And to Thamud We sent their brother Salih, who said, 'My people, worship
Allah! You have no other god than Him. A Clear Sign has come to you from
your Lord. This is the She-Camel of Allah as a Sign for you. Leave her
alone to eat on Allah's earth and do not harm her in any way or a painful
punishment will afflict you.' (7:73)
Remember when We rescued you from Pharaoh's people who were inflicting
an evil punishment on you, killing your sons and letting your women live.
In that there was a terrible trial from your Lord. (7:141)
(Musa said,) 'Prescribe good for us in this world and the hereafter.
We have truly turned to You.' He said, 'As for My punishment, I strike
with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things but I will prescribe
it for those who guard against evil and give the alms, and those who believe
in Our Signs.' (7:156)
Then when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We rescued those
who had forbidden the evil and seized those who did wrong with a harsh
punishment because they were deviators. (7:165)
Then your Lord announced that He would send against them until the Day
of Rising people who would inflict an evil punishment on them. Your Lord
is Swift in Retribution. And He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (7:167)
That is your reward, so taste it. The disbelievers will also have the
punishment of the Fire. (8:14)
And they (disbelievers) say, 'Allah, if this is really the truth from
You, rain down stones on us out of heaven or send a painful punishment
down on us.' (8:32)
Their prayer at the House is nothing but whistling and clapping. So taste
the punishment because you disbelieved! (8:35)
If only you could see when the angels take back those who disbelieved
at their death, beating their faces and their backs: 'Taste the punishment
of the Burning!' (8:50)
Were it not for a prior decree which had already proceeded from Allah,
a terrible punishment would have afflicted you on account of what you
took. (8:68)
A proclamation from Allah and His Messenger to mankind on the day of
the greater pilgrimage: 'Allah is free of the idolaters, as is His Messenger.
If you repent, it will be better for you. But if you turn your backs,
know that you cannot thwart Allah.' Give those who disbelieve the news
of a painful punishment. (9:3)
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)
If you do not go out to fight, He will punish you with a painful punishment
and substitute another people in your place. You will not harm Him in
any way. Allah has power over all things. (9:39)
Say: 'What do you await for us except for one of the two best things?
But what we await for you is for Allah to inflict a punishment on you
either directly from Himself or at our hands. So wait, we are waiting
with you!' (9:52)
Among them are some who insult the Prophet, saying he is only an ear.
Say, 'An ear of good for you, believing in Allah and believing in the
believers, and a mercy for those among you who believe.' As for those
who insult the Messenger of Allah, they will have a painful punishment.
(9:61)
Allah has promised the men and women of the hypocrites and disbelievers
the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. It will suffice
them. Allah has cursed them. They will have everlasting punishment. (9:68)
They swear by Allah that they said nothing, but they definitely spoke
the word of disbelief and returned to disbelief after their Islam. They
planned something which they did not achieve and they were vindictive
for no other cause than that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them
from His bounty. If they were to repent, it would be better for them.
But if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment
in this world and the hereafter, and they will not find any protector
or helper on the earth. (9:74)
As for the people who find fault with those believers who give charity
spontaneously, and with those who can find nothing to give but their own
effort, and deride them, Allah derides them. They will have a painful
punishment. (9:79)
The desert arabs came with their excuses asking for permission to stay,
and those who lied to Allah and His Messenger stayed behind. A painful
punishment will afflict those among them who disbelieve. (9:90)
Some of the desert Arabs around you are hypocrites and some of the people
of Madina are obdurate in their hypocrisy. You do not know them but We
know them. We will punish them twice over and then they will be returned
to a terrible punishment. (9:101)
Each and every one of you will return to Him. Allah's promise is true.
He brings creation out of nothing and then regenerates it so that he can
repay with justice those who believed and did right actions. Those who
disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment
because of their disbelief. (10:4)
When Our Clear Signs are recited to them, those who do not expect to
meet Us say, 'Bring a Qur'an other than this one or change it.' Say: 'It
is not for me to change it of my own accord. I follow nothing except what
is revealed to me. I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of
a Dreadful Day.' (10:15)
Say: 'What do you think? If His punishment came upon you by night or
day, what part of it would the evildoers then try to hasten?' (10:50)
Then it will be said to those who did wrong, 'Taste the punishment of
eternity! Have you been repaid for anything other than what you earned?'
(10:52)
If every self that did wrong possessed everything on earth, it would
offer it as a ransom. They will show remorse when they see the punishment.
Everything will be decided between them justly. They will not be wronged.
(10:54)
There is the enjoyment of this world. Then they will return to Us. Then
We will let them taste the terrible punishment because they disbelieved.
(10:70)
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)
Those against whom the words of your Lord are justly carried out will
never believe-not even if every Sign were to come to them-until they see
the painful punishment. (10:96-97)
How is it that there has never been a city that believed, whose faith
then brought it benefit, except the people of Yunus? When they believed
We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world
and We let them have enjoyment for a time. (10:98)
Ask your Lord for forgiveness and then repent to Him. He will let you
enjoy a good life until a specified time, and will give His favour to
all who merit it. But if you turn your backs, I fear for you the punishment
of a Mighty Day. (11:3)
If We postpone the punishment for them for a limited time, they will
say, 'What is holding it back?' No, indeed! The day it reaches them it
will not be averted from them and the things they mocked at will encompass
them. (11:8)
They were not able to thwart Allah on earth, and had no protectors besides
Allah. The punishment will be doubled for them. They were unable to hear
and could not see. (11:20)
(Nuh said to his people,) 'Worship none but Allah. I fear for you the
punishment of a painful day.' (11:26)
(Nuh said,) 'You will soon know who will receive a punishment which disgraces
him and find unleashed against himself an everlasting punishment.' (11:39)
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)
When Our command came, We rescued Hud and those who believed along with
him by a mercy from Us. We rescued them from a harsh punishment. (11:58)
(Salih said,) 'My people! Here is the she-camel of Allah as a Sign for
you. So leave her alone to eat on Allah's earth and do not inflict any
harm on her or you will be overcome by an imminent punishment.' (11:64)
'Ibrahim, turn away from this! Your Lord's command has come. A punishment
is coming to them which cannot be repelled.' (11:76)
And (We sent) to Madyan their brother Shu'ayb. He said, 'My people, worship
Allah! You have no god apart from Him. Do not give short measure and short
weight. I see you prospering and I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing
Day.' (11:84)
(Shu'ayb said,) 'My people! Do as you think best. That is what I am doing.
You will certainly come to know who will receive a punishment to disgrace
him, and who is a liar. So look out. I will be on the lookout with you.'
(11:93)
There is certainly a Sign in that for anyone who fears the punishment
of the hereafter. That is a Day to which mankind will all be gathered.
That is a Day which will be witnessed by everyone. (11:103)
They raced to the door. She tore his (Yusuf's) shirt at the back. They
met her husband by the door. She said, 'How should a man whose intention
was to harm your family be punished for what he did except with prison
or painful punishment?' (12:25)
Do they feel secure that the all-enveloping punishment of Allah will
not come upon them, or that the Last Hour will not come upon them all
of a sudden when they least expect it? (12:107)
They want you to hasten the bad rather than the good when examples of
punishment are there before them in the past. Your Lord has forgiveness
for people for their wrongdoing; but your Lord is also severe in retribution.
(13:6)
They will receive punishment in the life of this world and the punishment
of the hereafter is harsher still. They have no defender against Allah.
(13:34)
Allah is He to Whom everything in the heavens and everything in the earth
belongs. Woe to the disbelievers because of a terrible punishment. (14:2)
Remember when Musa said to his people, 'Remember Allah's blessing to
you when He rescued you from the people of Pharaoh. They were inflicting
an evil punishment on you, slaughtering your sons and letting your women
live. In that there was a terrible trial from your Lord. And when your
Lord announced: "If you are grateful, I will certainly give you increase,
but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe."' (14:6-7)
He gulps at it but can hardly swallow it down. Death comes at him from
every side but he does not die. And beyond him is relentless punishment.
(14:17)
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)
When the affair is decided Satan will say, 'Allah made you a promise,
a promise of truth, and I made you a promise but broke my promise. I had
no authority over you, except that I called you and you responded to me.
Do not, therefore, blame me but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your
aid nor you to mine. I reject the way you associated me with Allah before.'
The wrongdoers will have a painful punishment. (14:22)
Warn mankind of the Day when the punishment will reach them. Those who
did wrong will say, 'Our Lord, reprieve us for a short time. We will respond
to Your call and follow the Messengers.' 'But did you not swear to Me
before that you would never meet your downfall?' (14:44)
Tell My servants that I am the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful, but
also that My punishment is the Painful Punishment. (15:49-50)
Those before them also plotted, and Allah came at their building from
the foundations and the roof caved in on top of them. The punishment came
at them from where they did not expect. (16:26)
Do those who plot evil actions feel secure that Allah will not cause
the earth to swallow them up or that a punishment will not come upon them
from where they least expect? (16:45)
By Allah, We sent Messengers to communities before your time, but Satan
made their actions seem good to them. Therefore today he is their protector.
They will have a painful punishment. (16:63)
When those who did wrong see the punishment, it will not be lightened
for them. They will be granted no reprieve. (16:85)
As for those who disbelieved and barred access to the way of Allah, We
will heap punishment on top of their punishment because of the corruption
they brought about. (16:88)
Do not make your oaths a means of deceiving one another or your foot
will slip after it was firmly placed and you will taste evil for barring
access to the Way of Allah and you will have a terrible punishment. (16:94)
As for those who do not believe in Allah's Signs, Allah will not guide
them and they will have a painful punishment. (16:104)
Those who reject Allah after having believed-except for someone forced
to do it whose heart remains at rest in its faith-but as for those whose
breasts become dilated with disbelief, anger from Allah will come down
on them. They will have a terrible punishment. (16:106)
A Messenger from among them came to them but they denied him. So the
punishment seized them and they were wrongdoers. (16:113)
Do not say about what your lying tongues describe: 'This is lawful and
this is forbidden,' inventing lies against Allah. Those who invent lies
against Allah are not successful-a brief enjoyment, then they will have
a painful punishment. (16:116-117)
But as for those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have prepared
for them a painful punishment. (17:10)
Those they call on are themselves seeking the means by which they might
approach their Lord-even those who are the closest to Him-and are hoping
for His mercy and fearing his punishment. The punishment of your Lord
is truly something to be feared. (17:57)
There is no city We will not destroy before the Day of Rising, or punish
with a terrible punishment. That is inscribed in the Book. (17:58)
Then We would have let you taste a double punishment in life and a double
punishment in death. You would not have found any helper against Us. (17:75)
When guidance came to the people nothing prevented them from believing
and asking for forgiveness from their Lord but the fact that the pattern
of previous peoples did not happen to them or that the punishment did
not appear before their eyes. (18:55)
Your Lord is the Ever-Forgiving, the Possessor of Mercy. If He had taken
them to task for what they have earned, He would have hastened their punishment.
Instead, they have a promised appointment and they will not find any refuge
from it. (18:58)
He (Dhu'l-Qarnayn) said, 'As for those who do wrong, we will punish them
and then they will be returned to their Lord and He will punish them with
a dreadful punishment.' (18:87)
(Ibrahim said,) 'Father, I am afraid that a punishment from the All-Merciful
will afflict you, and turn you into a comrade of Satan.' (19:45)
Say: 'As for those who are astray, let the All-Merciful prolong their
term until they see what they were promised, whether it be the punishment
or the Hour. Then they will know who is in the worse position and has
the weaker troops.' (19:75)
No indeed! We will write down what he says and prolong the punishment
for him. (19:79)
So do not try to hasten their punishment. We are simply counting out
the number of their days. (19:84)
(Allah said to Musa, 'Go to him and say,) "It has been revealed to us
that punishment is for him who denies the truth and turns away."' (20:48)
Musa said to them, 'Woe to you! Do not fabricate lies against Allah or
He will annihilate you with His punishment. Fabricators of lies are bound
to fail.' (20:61)
Pharaoh said, 'Do you believe in him before I have authorised you? He
is your chief, the one who taught you magic. I will cut off your hands
and feet alternately and have you crucified on palm trunks. Then you will
know for certain which of us has the harsher and longer lasting punishment.'
(20:71)
That is how We repay anyone who is profligate and does not believe in
the Signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the hereafter is much harsher
and longer lasting. (20:127)
If We had destroyed them with a punishment before this, they would have
said, 'Our Lord, why did You not send us a Messenger, so we could follow
Your Signs before we were humbled and disgraced?' (20:134)
If even a single waft of the punishment were to touch them, they would
say, 'Alas for us! We were indeed wrongdoers.' (21:46)
On the day they see it, every nursing woman will be oblivious of the
baby at her breast, and every pregnant woman will abort the contents of
her womb, and you will think people drunk when they are not drunk; it
is just that the punishment of Allah is so severe. (22:2)
It is written of him that if anyone takes him (Satan) as a friend, he
will mislead him and guide him to the punishment of the Searing Blaze.
(22:4)
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)
Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth
prostrates to Allah, and the sun and moon and stars and the mountains,
trees and beasts and many of mankind? But many of them inevitably merit
punishment. Those Allah humiliates will have no one to honour them. Allah
does whatever He wills. (22:18)
Every time they want to come out of it, because of their suffering, they
will be driven back into it: 'Taste the punishment of the Burning!' (22:22)
Those who disbelieve and bar access to the Way of Allah and to the Sacred
Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) which We have appointed for all mankind-equally
for those who live near it and those who come from far away-those who
desire to profane it with wrongdoing, We will let them taste a painful
punishment. (22:25)
They ask you to hasten the punishment. Allah will not break His promise.
A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand years in the way you
count. (22:47)
But those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt of it until the
Hour comes on them suddenly or the punishment of a desolate Day arrives.
(22:55)
But those who disbelieve and deny Our Signs will have a humiliating punishment.
(22:57)
But then when We seize the affluent among them with the punishment, they
will suddenly start praying fervently. (23:64)
We seized them with the punishment, but they did not go low before their
Lord; nor will they humble themselves until We open to them a gate to
a harsh punishment in which they will at once be crushed by despair. (23:76-77)
A woman and a man who commit fornication: flog both of them with one
hundred lashes and do not let compassion for either of them possess you
where Allah's religion is concerned, if you believe in Allah and the Last
Day. A number of believers should witness their punishment. (24:2)
And the punishment is removed from her if she testifies four times by
Allah that he (her husband) is lying. (24:8)
There is a group of you who propagated the lie. Do not suppose it to
be bad for you; rather it is good for you. Every one of them will incur
the evil he has earned and the one who took it on himself to amplify it
will receive a terrible punishment. (24:11)
Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, both in this world
and the hereafter, a terrible punishment would have afflicted you for
your plunging headlong into it. (24:14)
People who love to see filth being spread about concerning those who
believe will have a painful punishment both in this world and the hereafter.
Allah knows and you do not know. (24:19)
Those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware (of the evil), are cursed
both in this world and the hereafter, and they will have a terrible punishment.
(24:23)
Do not make the Messenger's summoning of you the same as your summoning
of one another. Allah knows those of you who sneak away. Those who oppose
his command should beware of a testing trial coming to them or a painful
punishment striking them. (24:63)
So now they have disowned you for what you said, and they cannot avert
it or give you any help. As for anyone among you who has done wrong, We
will make him suffer great punishment. (25:19)
And when the people of Nuh denied the Messengers, We drowned them and
made them a Sign for all mankind. We have prepared a painful punishment
for the wrongdoers. (25:37)
When they see you they only make a mockery of you: 'Is this the one Allah
has sent as a Messenger? He might almost have misled us from our gods
had we not stuck to them steadfastly!' They will soon know, when they
see the punishment, whose way is the most misguided. (25:41-42)
(The servants of the All-Merciful are) those who say, 'Our Lord, avert
from us the punishment of Hell, its punishment is inescapable pain.' (25:65)
Those who do not call on any other god together with Allah and do not
kill anyone Allah has made inviolate, except with the right to do so,
and do not fornicate; anyone who does that will receive an evil punishment
and on the Day of Rising his punishment will be doubled and he will be
humiliated in it timelessly, for ever. (25:68-69)
Say: 'What has My Lord to do with you if you do not call on Him? But
you have denied the truth, so punishment is bound to come.' (25:77)
(Hud said to his people,) 'I fear for you the punishment of a terrible
Day.' (26:135)
(Salih said,) 'Do not do anything to harm her (the she-camel) or the
punishment of a terrible day will come down on you.' (26:156)
But they hamstrung her and woke up full of remorse, for the punishment
did come down them. There is certainly a Sign in that, yet most of them
are not believers. (26:157-158)
They denied him and the punishment of the Day of Shadow came down on
them. It was indeed the punishment of a terrible Day. (26:189)
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment. (26:201)
Do they want to hasten Our punishment? (26:204)
Such people will receive an evil punishment and will be the greatest
losers in the hereafter. (27:5)
Is someone whom We have promised good and who then obtains it, the same
as someone whom We have given enjoyment in the life of this world and
who then, on the Day of Rising, is one of those brought to punishment?
(28:61)
They will be told, 'Call on your partner-gods!' They will call on them
but they will not respond to them. They will see the punishment. Oh if
only they had been guided! (28:64)
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)
Those who reject Allah's Signs and the meeting with Him, such people
can despair of My mercy, such people will have a painful punishment. (29:23)
When Lut said to his people, 'You are committing an obscenity not perpetrated
before you by anyone in all the worlds. Do you lie with men and waylay
them on the road and commit depravities within your gatherings?' the only
answer of his people was to say, 'Bring us Allah's punishment if you are
telling the truth.' (29:28-29)
(Our Messengers said to Lut,) 'We will bring down on the inhabitants
of this city a devastating punishment from heaven because of their deviance.'
(29:34)
They ask you to hasten the punishment. If it were not for a stipulated
term, the punishment would have come to them already. It will come upon
them suddenly when they are not expecting it. (29:53)
They ask you to hasten the punishment but Hell already encircles the
disbelievers. (29:54)
On the Day the punishment envelops them from above them and from underneath
their feet, He will say, 'Taste what you were doing!' (29:55)
But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our Signs and the meeting
of the hereafter, they will be summoned to the punishment. (30:16)
But there are some people who trade in distracting tales to misguide
people from Allah's Way knowing nothing about it and to make a mockery
of it. Such people will have a humiliating punishment. (31:6)
When Our Signs are recited to such a person, he turns away arrogantly
as if he had not heard, as if there was a great weight in his ears. So
give him news of a painful punishment. (31:7)
When they are told: 'Follow what Allah has sent down,' they say, 'No,
we will follow what we found our fathers doing.' What! Even if Satan is
calling them to the punishment of the Blazing Fire? (31:21)
We will let them enjoy themselves a little, then drive them to a harsh
punishment. (31:24)
(They are told,) 'So taste it. Because you forgot the meeting of this
Day, We have forgotten you. Taste the punishment of eternal timelessness
for what you did.' (32:14)
But as for those who are deviators, their refuge is the Fire. Every time
that they want to get out, they are put straight back into it again and
they are told, 'Taste the punishment of the Fire, which you denied.' (32:20)
We will give them a taste of lesser punishment before the greater punishment,
so that hopefully they will turn back. (32:21)
(It is) so that He would be able to question the truthful about their
truth; and He has prepared a painful punishment for the disbelievers.
(33:8)
Wives of the Prophet! If any of you commits an obvious act of indecency
she will receive double the punishment. That is an easy matter for Allah.
(33:30)
As for those who abuse Allah and His Messenger, Allah's curse is on them
in this world and the hereafter. He has prepared a humiliating punishment
for them. (33:57)
And they (disbelievers) will say, 'Our Lord, we obeyed our masters and
great men and they misguided us from the Way. Our Lord, give them double
the punishment and curse them many times over!' (33:67-68)
But those who strive against Our Signs, trying to nullify them, will
have a punishment of agonising pain. (34: 5)
Has he invented a lie against Allah or is he possessed?' No indeed! Those
who do not believe in the hereafter are in punishment and deeply misguided.
(34:8)
And We gave Sulayman power over the wind-a month's journey in the morning
and a month in the afternoon. And We made a fount of molten brass flow
out for him. And some of the jinn worked in front of him by his Lord's
permission. And if a single one of them deviates at all from Our command,
We let him taste the punishment of the Searing Blaze. (34:12)
Then when We decreed that he (Sulayman) should die, nothing divulged
his death to them except the worm which ate his staff; so that when he
fell down it was made clear to the jinn that if they had truly had knowledge
of the Unseen they need not have stayed there suffering humiliating punishment.
(34:14)
Those deemed weak will say to those deemed great, 'No, it was your scheming
night and day when you commanded us to reject Allah and assign equals
to Him.' But they will show their remorse when they see the punishment.
We will put iron collars round the necks of those who disbelieve. Will
they be repaid for anything but what they did? (34:33)
But people who strive against Our Signs, trying to nullify them, such
people will be summoned to the punishment. (34:38)
'Today you possess no power to help or harm one another.' And We will
say to those who did wrong, 'Taste the punishment of the Fire which you
denied.' (34:42)
Say: 'I exhort you to do one thing alone: to stand before Allah in pairs
and on your own and then reflect. Your companion is not possessed. He
is only a warner come to you ahead of a terrible punishment.' (34:46)
Those who disbelieve will suffer a harsh punishment. But those who believe
and do right actions will receive forgiveness and an immense reward. (35:7)
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)
Whereas for those who disbelieve there will be the Fire of Hell. They
will not be killed off so that they die and its punishment will not be
lightened for them. That is how We repay every thankless man. (35:36)
They (the inhabitants of the city) said (to Our Messengers), 'We see
an evil omen in you. If you do not stop we will stone you and you will
suffer a painful punishment at our hands.' (36:18)
They (Satans) cannot eavesdrop on the Highest Assembly and they are stoned
from every side, repelled with harshness-they will suffer eternal punishment.
(37:8-9)
On that Day they will be partners in the punishment. (37:33)
You will definitely taste the painful punishment and you will only be
repaid for what you did-except for Allah's chosen servants. (37:38-40)
Are they trying to hasten Our punishment? (37:176)
(Their leaders went off saying,) 'Has the Reminder been sent down to
him out of all of us?' They are in doubt about My Reminder. They have
yet to taste My punishment. (38:8)
Each one of them denied the Messengers and so My punishment was justly
carried out. (38:14)
(We said), 'Dawud! We have made you a successor on the earth, so judge
between people with truth and do not follow your own desires, letting
them misguide you from the Way of Allah. Those who are misguided from
the Way of Allah will receive a harsh punishment because they forgot the
Day of Reckoning.' (38:26)
They will say, 'Our Lord, give him who brought this on us double the
punishment in the Fire!' (38:61)
Say: 'I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a Terrible
Day.' (39:13)
But as for those against whom the decree of Punishment is justly carried
out, can you rescue those who are in the Fire? (39:19)
Those before them also denied the truth and the punishment came upon
them from where they did not expect. (39:25)
So Allah made them taste disgrace in the life of this world and the punishment
of the hereafter is far worse if they only knew. (39:26)
Say: 'My people, do as you think best; that is what I am doing. You will
soon know who will receive a punishment which disgraces him and will unleash
against himself an everlasting punishment.' (39:39-40)
If those who did wrong owned everything on earth, and the same again
with it, they would offer it as a ransom to save themselves from the evil
of the punishment on the Day of Rising. What confronts them from Allah
will be something they did not reckon with. (39:47)
Turn to your Lord and submit to Him before punishment comes upon you,
for then you cannot be helped. (39:54)
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)
Those who disbelieve will be driven to Hell in companies and when they
arrive there and its gates are opened its custodians will say to them,
'Did Messengers from yourselves not come to you, reciting your Lord's
Signs to you and warning you of the meeting on this Day of yours?' They
will say, 'Indeed they did, but the decree of punishment is justly carried
out against the disbelievers.' (39:71)
Those who bear the Throne, and all those around it, glorify their Lord
with praise and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who believe:
'Our Lord, You encompass everything in mercy and knowledge! Forgive those
who turn to You and who follow Your Way and safeguard them from the punishment
of the Blazing Fire.' (40:7)
The Fire, morning and night, to which they are exposed; and on the Day
the Hour takes place: 'Admit Pharaoh's people to the harshest punishment!'
(40:46)
Those in the Fire will say to the custodians of Hell, 'Call on your Lord
to make the punishment less for us for just one day.' (40:49)
So We sent a howling wind against them on disastrous ill-fated days to
make them taste the punishment of degradation in this world. And the punishment
of the hereafter is even more degrading. And they will not be helped.
(41:16)
As for Thamud, We guided them, but they preferred blindness to guidance.
So the lightning-bolt of the punishment of humiliation seized them on
account of what they earned. (41:17)
We will make those who disbelieve suffer a severe punishment and repay
them for the worst of what they did. (41:27)
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 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)
The argument of those who argue about Allah, once He has been acknowledged,
has no basis whatsoever with their Lord. There is anger upon them and
they will have a harsh punishment. (42:16)
Or do they have partners who have laid down a religion for them for which
Allah has not given any authority? Were it not for the prior Word of Decision,
the judgement between them would already have been made. The wrongdoers
will have a painful punishment. (42:21)
He responds to those who believe and do right actions and gives them
increase from His favour. But the disbelievers will have a harsh punishment.
(42:26)
There are only grounds against those who wrong people and act as tyrants
in the earth without any right to do so. Such people will have a painful
punishment. (42:42)
Whoever Allah misguides has no one to protect them after that. You will
see the wrongdoers saying, when they see the punishment, 'Is there no
way back?' (42:44)
You will see them as they are exposed to it, abject in their abasement,
glancing around them furtively. Those who believe will say, 'Truly the
losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of
Rising.' The wrongdoers are in an everlasting punishment. (42:45)
It will not benefit you today, since you did wrong, that you share equally
in the punishment. (43:39)
We showed them no Sign which was not greater than the one before it.
We seized them with punishment so that hopefully they would turn back.
(43:48)
But when We removed the punishment from them, they immediately broke
their word. (43:50)
The various factions among them differed. Woe then to those who did wrong
on account of the punishment of a painful Day! (43:65)
The evildoers will remain timelessly, for ever, in the punishment of
Hell. (43:74)
So be on the watch for a day when heaven brings forth a distinctive smoke,
which enshrouds mankind. 'This is a painful punishment! Our Lord, remove
the punishment from us. We are really believers.' (44:10-12)
We remove the punishment a little, and you revert! (44:15)
We rescued the tribe of Israel from the humiliating punishment. (44:30)
(Custodians of Hell will be told,) 'Then pour the punishment of boiling
water on his head.' (44:48)
They will not taste any death there-except for the first one. He will
safeguard them from the punishment of the Blazing Fire. (44:56)
Woe to every wicked liar who hears the Signs of Allah recited to him
and then persists in his arrogance just as if he had never heard them.
Give him the news of a painful punishment. (45:7-8)
When he does learn something of Our Signs, he makes a mockery of them.
Such people will have a humiliating punishment. (45:9)
Hell is right at their heels. Nothing they have earned will be of any
use to them, nor will those they took as protectors besides Allah. They
will have a terrible punishment. (45:10)
This is guidance. And those who reject the Signs of their Lord will have
a punishment of agonising pain. (45:11)
Remember the brother of 'Ad when he warned his people by the sand-dunes-and
warners passed away before and after him-'Worship no one but Allah. I
fear for you the punishment of a terrible Day.' (46:21)
When they saw it as a storm cloud advancing on their valleys they said,
'This is a storm cloud which will give us rain.' No, rather it is what
you desired to hasten-a wind containing painful punishment, destroying
everything at its Lord's command! When morning came you could see nothing
but their dwellings. That is how We repay the people of the evildoers.
(46:24-25)
Our people, respond to Allah's caller and believe in Him. He will forgive
you some of your wrong actions and save you from a painful punishment.
(46:31)
On the Day when those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire, they will
be asked, 'Is this not the truth?' They will say, 'Yes, by our Lord.'
He will say, 'Then taste the punishment for having disbelieved.' (46:34)
Say to the Arabs who remained behind: 'You will be called up against
a people who possess great force whom you must fight unless they submit.
If you obey, Allah will give you an excellent reward. But if you turn
your backs as you did before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.'
(48:16)
There is no constraint on the blind, nor on the lame, nor on the sick.
We will admit all who obey Allah and His Messenger into Gardens with rivers
flowing under them. But We will punish with a painful punishment anyone
who turns his back. (48:17)
They are those who disbelieved and debarred you from the Sacred Mosque
(Masjid al-Haram) and prevented the sacrifice from reaching its proper
place, and had it not been for some men and women who are believers, whom
you did not know and might trample underfoot, and so unknowingly incur
blame on their account-so that Allah might admit into His mercy those
He wills-and had those among them who disbelieve been clearly distinguishable,
We would have punished them with a painful punishment. (48:25)
(The Custodians of Hell will be told,) 'Hurl into Hell every obdurate
disbeliever, impeder of good, doubt-causing aggressor, who set up another
god together with Allah. Hurl him into the terrible punishment.' (50:24-26)
And We left a Sign in it for those who fear the painful punishment. (51:37)
Your Lord's punishment will certainly take place. (52:7)
The people who guard against evil will be in Gardens of Delight, savouring
what their Lord has given them. Their Lord will safeguard them from the
punishment of the Blazing Fire. (52:17-18)
But Allah was gracious to us and safeguarded us from the punishment of
the searing wind. (52:27)
And those who do wrong will have a punishment besides that but most of
them do not know it. (52:47)
How terrible were My punishment and warnings! (54:16, 54:18, 54:30)
'Ad denied the truth. How terrible were My punishment and warnings! (54:18)
They even wanted to seduce his guests! So We put out their eyes: 'Taste
My punishment and warnings!' (54:37)
Early morning brought them enduring punishment: 'Taste My punishment
and warnings!' (54:38-39)
That Day the men and women of the hypocrites will say to those who believe,
'Wait for us so that we can borrow some of your light.' They will be told,
'Go back and look for light!' And a wall will be erected between them
with a gate in it, on the inside of which there will be mercy but before
whose exterior lies the punishment. (57:13)
Know that the life of this world is merely a game and a diversion and
ostentation and a cause of boasting among yourselves and trying to outdo
one another in wealth and children: like the plant-growth after rain which
delights the cultivators, but then it withers and you see it turning yellow,
and then it becomes broken stubble. In the hereafter there is terrible
punishment but also forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure. The
life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion. (57:20)
Anyone who cannot find the means must fast for two consecutive months
before the two of them may touch one another again. And anyone who is
unable to do that must feed sixty poor people. That is to affirm your
faith in Allah and His Messenger. These are Allah's limits. The disbelievers
will have a painful punishment. (58:4)
Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger will be subdued and overcome
as those before them were also subdued and overcome. We have sent down
Clear Signs. The disbelievers will have a humiliating punishment. (58:5)
Allah has prepared a terrible punishment for them. How evil is what they
have been doing! (58:15)
They made their oaths into a cloak and barred the Way of Allah, so they
will have a humiliating punishment. (58:16)
If Allah had not prescribed banishment for them, He would have punished
them in this world. But in the hereafter they will have the punishment
of the Fire. (59:3)
They are the same as those a short time before them who tasted the evil
consequences of what they did. They will have a painful punishment. (59:15)
You who believe! Shall I direct you to a transaction which will save
you from a painful punishment? (61:10)
Has the news not reached you of those who disbelieved before and tasted
the evil consequences of what they did? They will have a painful punishment.
(64:5)
How many cities spurned their Lord's command and His Messengers! And
so We called them harshly to account and punished them with a terrible
punishment. (65:8)
Allah has prepared a terrible punishment for them. So have fear of Allah,
people of intelligence-those who believe-Allah has sent down a reminder
to you. (65:10)
We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and made some of them stones
for the Satans for whom We have prepared the punishment of the Blaze.
(67:5)
Those who reject their Lord will have the punishment of Hell. What an
evil destination! (67:6)
'You who disbelieve! Do not try to excuse yourselves today. You are merely
being repaid for what you did.' (66:7)
Say: 'What do you think? If Allah destroys me and those with me, or if
He has mercy on us, who can shelter the disbelievers from a painful punishment?'
(67:28)
Such is the punishment. And the punishment of the hereafter is much greater
if they only knew. (68:33)
An inquirer asked about an impending punishment. (70:1)
(On the Day) no good friend will ask about his friend even though they
can see each other. An evildoer will wish he could ransom himself from
the punishment of that Day, by means of his sons, or his wife or his brother
or his family who sheltered him or everyone else on earth, if that only
meant that he could save himself. (70:10-14)
(Believers are) those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord
(no one is safe from the punishment of his Lord). (70:27-28)
We sent Nuh to his people: 'Warn your people before a painful punishment
comes to them.' (71:1)
If only they were to go straight on the Path, We would give them abundant
water to drink so that We could test them by it. Whoever turns aside from
the remembrance of his Lord, He will introduce him to an arduous punishment.
(72:16-17)
With Us there are shackles and a Blazing Fire and food that chokes and
a painful punishment. (73:12-13)
He admits whoever He wills into His mercy. But He has prepared a painful
punishment for the wrongdoers. (76:31)
So taste! We will increase you only in punishment. (78:30)
We have warned you of an imminent punishment on the Day when a man will
see what he has done, and the disbeliever will say, 'Oh, if only I were
dust!' (78:40)
So Allah made an example of him seizing him with punishment in this world
and the hereafter. (79:25)
Give them the news of a painful punishment. (84:24)
Those who persecute men and women of the believers, and then do not repent,
will have the punishment of Hell, will have the punishment of the Burning.
(85:10)
Allah will punish him with the Greatest Punishment. (88:24)
So your Lord unleashed on them a scourging punishment. (89:13)
PURITY
You who believe! When you get up to perform prayer, wash your faces and
your hands and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads, and
(wash) your feet to the ankles. If you are in a state of major impurity,
then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey, or have come
from the lavatory, or have touched women, and cannot find any water, then
take for yourselves clean earth, and wipe your faces and your hands therewith.
Allah does not want to make things difficult for you, but He does want
to purify you and to perfect His blessing upon you so that hopefully you
will be thankful. (5:6)
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)
Purify your clothes. (74:4)
PUS
And beyond him is Hell where he will be given pus to drink. (14:16)
This! So let them taste it-boiling water and scalding pus. (38:57)
Therefore here today he has no friend nor any food except exuding pus.
(69:35-36)
Hell lies in wait-a homecoming for the profligate remaining in it for
countless aeons, not tasting any coolness there or any drink, except for
boiling water and scalding pus-a fitting recompense. (78:21-26)
PUTTING ONE'S TRUST IN ALLAH (TAWAKKUL)
And remember when two of your clans were on the point of losing heart
and Allah was their Protector. Let the believers put their trust in Allah.
(3:122)
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)
If Allah helps you, no one can vanquish you. If He forsakes you, who
can help you after that? So the believers should put their trust in Allah.
(3:160)
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)
You who believe! Remember Allah's blessing to you when certain people
were on the verge of raising their hands against you and He held their
hands back from you. Have fear of Allah. The believers should put their
trust in Allah. (5:11)
Two men among those who were afraid, but whom Allah had blessed, said,
'Enter the gate against them! Once you have entered it, you will be victorious.
Put your trust in Allah if you are believers.' (5:23)
(Shu'ayb said,) 'We would be inventing lies against Allah if we returned
to your religion after Allah has saved us from it. We could never return
to it unless Allah our Lord so willed. Our Lord encompasses everything
in His knowledge. We have put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, judge between
us and our people with truth. You are the best of judges.' (7:89)
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)
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)
If they incline to peace, you too incline to it, and put your trust in
Allah. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (8:61)
Say: 'Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us.
He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the believers should put their trust.'
(9:51)
But if they turn away, say, 'Allah is enough for me. There is no god
but Him. I have put my trust in Him. He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.'
(9:129)
Recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to his people, 'My people,
if my standing here and reminding you of Allah's Signs has become too
much for you to bear, know that I have put my trust in Allah. So decide,
you and your gods, on what you want to do and be open about it. Do with
me whatever you decide and do not keep me waiting.' (10:71)

Path.' (11:56)
He (Shu'ayb) said, 'My people! What do you think? If I do possess a Clear
Sign from my Lord and He has given me His good provision, I would clearly
not want to go behind your backs and do something I have forbidden you
to do. I only want to put things right as far as I can. My success is
with Allah alone. I have put my trust in Him and I turn to Him.' (11:88)
The Unseen of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah and the whole
affair will be returned to Him. So worship Him and put your trust in Him.
Your Lord is not unaware of what you do. (11:123)
He (Ya'qub) said, 'My sons! You must not enter through a single gate.
Go in through different gates. But I cannot save you from Allah at all,
for judgement comes from no one but Allah. In Him I put my trust, and
let all those who put their trust, put it in Him alone.' (12:67)
In the same way We have sent you among a nation before which other nations
passed away, to recite to them what We have revealed to you. Yet they
still reject the All-Merciful. Say: 'He is my Lord; there is no god but
Him. I put my trust in Him and I turn to Him.' (13:30)
Their Messengers said to them, 'We are nothing but human beings like
yourselves. But Allah shows favour to any of His servants He wills. It
is not for us to bring you an authority except by Allah's permission.
So let the believers put their trust in Allah. And why indeed should we
not put our trust in Allah when He has guided us to our ways? We will
be steadfast however much you harm us. Those who trust put their trust
in Allah.' (14:11-12)
(Believers are) those who are steadfast and put their trust in their
Lord. (16:42)
He (Satan) has no authority over those who believe and put their trust
in their Lord. (16:99)

So put your trust in Allah. You are clearly on a path of truth. (27:79)
(Believers are) those who are steadfast and put their trust in their
Lord. (29:59)
And put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian. (33:3)

of you. Put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Protector. (33:48)

'Allah.' Say: 'So what do you think? If Allah desires harm for me, can
those you call upon besides Allah remove His harm? Or if He desires mercy
for me, can they withhold His mercy?' Say: 'Allah is enough for me. All
those who truly trust put their trust in Him.' (39:38)
The judgement concerning anything you differ about is Allah's concern.
That is Allah, my Lord-I have put my trust in Him and to Him I turn. (42:10)
Whatever you have been given is only the enjoyment of the life of this
world. What is with Allah is better and longer lasting for those who believe
and trust in their Lord. (42:36)
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)
Allah-there is no god but Him. So let the believers put their trust in
Allah. (64:13)

will soon know who is clearly misguided.' (67:29)
PUTTING THINGS RIGHT
When they (hypocrites) are told, 'Do not cause corruption on the earth,'
they say, 'We are only putting things right.' (2:11)
Those who hide the Clear Signs and Guidance We have sent down, after
We have made it clear to people in the Book, Allah curses them, and the
cursers curse them-except for those who repent and put things right and
make things clear. I turn towards them. I am the Ever-Returning, the Most
Merciful. (2:159-160)
But if someone fears bias or wrongdoing on the part of the person making
the will, and puts things right between the people involved, in that case
he has not committed any crime. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(2:182)
Do not, by your oaths, make Allah a pretext to avoid good action and
guarding against evil and putting things right between people. Allah is
All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (2:224)

They will be granted no reprieve. Except for those who, after that, repent
and put things right. Truly Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (3:88-89)
If you fear a breach between a couple, send an arbiter from his people
and an arbiter from her people. If the couple desire to put things right,
Allah will bring about a reconciliation between them. Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Aware. (4:35)
The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire. You will not find
any one to help them, except those who repent and put things right and

will turn towards him. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (5:39)

and will know no sorrow. (6:48)
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)
Children of Adam! If Messengers come to you from among yourselves, recounting
My Signs to you, those who guard against evil and put things right, will
feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (7:35)

So have fear of Allah and put things right between you. Obey Allah and
His Messenger if you are believers.' (8:1)
He (Shu'ayb) said, 'My people! What do you think? If I do possess a Clear
Sign from my Lord and He has given me His good provision, I would clearly
not want to go behind your backs and do something I have forbidden you
to do. I only want to put things right as far as I can. My success is
with Allah alone. I have put my trust in Him and I turn to Him.' (11:88)
Your Lord would never have destroyed the cities wrongfully as long as
their inhabitants were putting things right. (11:117)
But to those who do evil in ignorance and then after that repent and
put things right, to them your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(16:119)
But those who make accusations against chaste women and then do not produce
four witnesses: flog them with eighty lashes and never again accept them
as witnesses. Such people are deviators-except for those who after that
repent and put things right. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (24:4-5)
(Salih said to his people,) 'Do not obey the orders of the profligate,
those who corrupt the earth and do not put things right.' (26:151-152)
The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But if someone
pardons and puts things right, his reward is with Allah. Certainly He
does not love wrongdoers. (42:40)
