-Q-
AL-QADR (SEE PRE-ORDAINED DECREE)
QAALU BALAA (THEY SAID: YES)
When your Lord took out all their descendants from the loins of the children
of Adam and made them testify against themselves 'Am I not your Lord?'
they said, 'We testify that indeed You are!' Lest you say on the Day of
Rising, 'We knew nothing of this.' Or lest you say, 'Our forefathers associated
others with Allah before our time, and we are merely descendants coming
after them. So are You going to destroy us for what those purveyors of
falsehood did?' (7:172-173)
QARUN
Qarun was one of the people of Musa but he lorded it over them. We gave
him treasures, the keys alone to which were a heavy weight for a party
of strong men. When his people said to him, 'Do not gloat. Allah does
not love people who gloat. Seek the abode of the hereafter with what Allah
has given you, without forgetting your portion of this world. And do good
as Allah has been good to you. And do not seek to cause corruption in
the earth. Allah does not love corrupters.' he said, 'I have only been
given it because of knowledge I have.' Did he not know that before him
Allah had destroyed generations with far greater strength than his and
far more possessions? The evildoers will not be questioned about their
sins. He went out among his people in his finery. Those who desired the
life of this world said, 'Oh! If only we had the same as Qarun has been
given! What immense good fortune he possesses.' But those who had been
given knowledge said, 'Woe to you! Allah's reward is better for those
who believe and act rightly. But only the steadfast will obtain it.' We
caused the earth to swallow up both him and his house. There was no group
to come to his aid, besides Allah, and he was not someone who is helped.
Those who had longed to take his place the day before woke up saying,
'Allah expands the provision of any of His servants He wills or restricts
it. If Allah had not shown great kindness to us, we would have been swallowed
up as well. Ah! Truly the disbelievers are not successful.' That abode
of the hereafter-We grant it to those who do not seek to exalt themselves
in the earth or to cause corruption in it. The successful outcome is for
those who guard against evil. (28:76-83)
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)
QIBLAH (SEE THE DIRECTION)
QIYAMAH (SEE THE LAST DAY)
QUAIL
And We shaded you with clouds and sent down manna and quails to you:
'Eat of the good things We have provided for you.' They did not wrong
Us; rather it was themselves they were wronging. (2:57)
We divided them up into twelve tribes-communities. We revealed to Musa,
when his people asked him for water: 'Strike the rock with your staff.'
Twelve fountains flowed out from it and all the people knew their drinking
place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down manna and quails to
them: 'Eat of the good things We have provided you with.' They did not
wrong Us; rather it was themselves they wronged. (7:160)
Tribe of Israel! We rescued you from your enemy and made an appointment
with you on the right hand side of the Mount and sent down manna and quails
for you. (20:80)
QUARREL
The pilgrimage takes place during certain well-known months. If anyone
undertakes the obligation of pilgrimage in them, there must be no sexual
intercourse, no wrongdoing, nor any quarrelling during pilgrimage. Whatever
good you do, Allah knows it. Take provision; but the best provision is
fear of Allah. So have fear of Me, people of intelligence! (2:197)
He (Musa) 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)
QUILT
(Believers will be) reclining on green quilts and exquisite rugs. (55:76)
QUR'AN, THE
The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur'an was sent down as
guidance for mankind, with Clear Signs containing guidance and discrimination.
Any of you who are resident for the month should fast it. But any of you
who are ill or on a journey should fast a number of other days. Allah
desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you. You should
complete the number of days and proclaim Allah's greatness for the guidance
He has given you so that hopefully you will be thankful. (2:185)
You who believe! Do not ask about matters which, if they were made known
to you, would make things difficult for you. If you do ask about them
when the Qur'an is being sent down, they will be made known to you. Allah
has ignored them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, All-Forbearing. (5:101)
Say: 'What thing is greatest as a witness?' Say: 'Allah. He is Witness
between me and you. This Qur'an has been revealed to me so that I may
warn you by it, and anyone else it reaches. Do you then bear witness that
there are other gods together with Allah?' Say: 'I do not bear witness.'
Say: 'He is only One God, and I am free of all you associate with Him.'
(6:19)
When the Qur'an is recited listen to it and be quiet so that hopefully
you will gain mercy. (7:20-4)
Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth in
return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and they kill and
are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel and
the Qur'an and who is truer to his contract than Allah? Rejoice then in
the bargain you have made. That is the great victory. (9:111)
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)
This Qur'an could never have been devised by any besides Allah. Rather
it is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book
which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds. (10:37)
You do not engage in any matter or recite any of the Qur'an or do any
action without Our witnessing you while you are occupied with it. Not
even the smallest speck eludes your Lord, either on earth or in heaven.
Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger, which is not in a
Clear Book. (10:61)
We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an so that hopefully you will use
your intellect. (12:2)
We tell you the best of stories in revealing this Qur'an to you, even
though you were unaware of it before it came. (12:3)
Even if there was a Qur'an which moved mountains, or split the earth
open or spoke to the dead...! On the contrary! The affair is Allah's altogether.
Do those who believe not know that if Allah had wanted to He could have
guided all mankind? Those who disbelieve will not cease to be struck by
disaster for what they have done-or a disaster will happen close to their
homes-until Allah's promise is fulfilled. Allah will not fail to keep
His promise. (13:31)
Alif Lam Ra. Those are the Signs of the Book and a clear Qur'an. (15:1)
We have given you the Seven Oft-repeated and the Magnificent Qur'an.
(15:87)
Just as We sent down punishment on the dissectors, those who divide the
Qur'an into little pieces. (15:90-91)
Whenever you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed
Satan. (16:98)
This Qur'an guides to the most upright Way and gives good news to the
believers who do right actions that they will have a large reward. (17:9)
We have made things clear in this Qur'an so that they might pay heed,
but it only makes them run away the more! (17:41)
When you recite the Qur'an, We place an obscuring veil between you and
those who do not believe in the hereafter. (17:45)
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)
When We said to you, 'Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His
knowledge.' We only appointed the vision We showed you and the Accursed
Tree in the Qur'an as a trial and temptation for the people. We frighten
them, but it only increases them in their excessive insolence. (17:60)
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)
Say: 'If both men and jinn banded together to produce the like of this
Qur'an, they could never produce anything like it, even if they backed
each other up.' (17:88)
We have variegated throughout this Qur'an all kinds of examples for people,
but most people spurn anything but disbelief. (17:89)
We have divided up the Qur'an, so you can recite it to mankind at intervals,
and We have sent it down little by little. (17:106)
We have variegated throughout this Qur'an all kinds of examples for people,
but, more than anything else, man is argumentative! (18:54)
We did not send down the Qur'an to you to make you miserable. (20:2)
In this way We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and We have made
various threats in it so that hopefully they will guard against evil or
it will spur them into remembrance. (20:113)
High exalted be Allah, the King, the Real! Do not rush ahead with the
Qur'an before its revelation to you is complete, and say: 'My Lord, increase
me in knowledge.' (20:114)
The Messenger says, 'My Lord, my people treat this Qur'an as something
to be ignored.' (25:30)
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)
Ta Sin. Those are the Signs of the Qur'an and a Clear Book. (27:1)
You receive the Qur'an directly from One who is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
(27:6)
Certainly this Qur'an narrates to the tribe of Israel most of the things
about which they differ. (27:76)
'... and (I have been ordered to) to recite the Qur'an.' Whoever is guided
is only guided to his own good; if someone is misguided just say, 'I am
only a warner.' (27:92)
He Who has imposed the Qur'an upon you will most certainly bring you
back home again. Say: 'My Lord knows best who has brought true guidance
and who is plainly misguided.' (28:85)
We have made all kinds of examples for people in this Qur'an. If you
bring them a Sign those who disbelieve will say, 'You are just purveyors
of falsehood!' (30:58)
Those who disbelieve say, 'We will never believe in this Qur'an, nor
in what came before it.' If only you could see when the wrongdoers, standing
in the presence of their Lord, cast accusations back and forth at one
another! Those deemed weak will say to those deemed great, 'Were it not
for you, we would have been believers!' (34:31)
(I swear) by the Wise Qur'an. (36:2)
We did not teach him poetry nor would it be right for him. It is simply
a reminder and a clear Qur'an. (36:69)
Sād. (I swear) by the Qur'an holding the Remembrance. (38:1)
We have given all kinds of examples to people in this Qur'an, so that
hopefully they will pay heed. (39:27)
(This is) an Arabic Qur'an with no distortion in it, so that hopefully
they will guard against evil. (39:28)
A Book whose verses have been demarcated for people who know as an Arabic
Qur'an. (41:3)
Those who disbelieve say, 'Do not listen to this Qur'an. Drown it out
so that hopefully you will gain the upper hand.' (41:26)
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)
Accordingly We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an so that you may
warn the Mother of Cities and those around it, and give warning of the
Day of Gathering about which there is no doubt: one group in the Garden,
the other in the Blazing Fire. (42:7)
We have made it an Arabic Qur'an so that hopefully you will use your
intellect. (43:3)
And We diverted a group of jinn towards you to listen to the Qur'an.
When they were in earshot of it they said, 'Be quiet and listen.' When
it was over they went back to their people, warning them. (46:29)
Will they not then ponder the Qur'an or are there locks upon their hearts?
(47:24)
Qaf. (I swear) by the Glorious Qur'an! (50:1)
We know best what they say. You are not a dictator over them. So remind,
with the Qur'an, whoever fears My Threat. (50:45)
We have made the Qur'an easy to remember. But is there any rememberer
there? (54:17)
The All-Merciful taught the Qur'an. (55:1-2)
It truly is a Noble Qur'an. (56:77)
If We Had sent down this Qur'an onto a mountain, you would have seen
it humbled, crushed to pieces out of fear of Allah. We make such examples
for people so that hopefully they will reflect. (59:21)
... and recite the Qur'an distinctly. (73:4)
Your Lord knows that you stay up nearly two-thirds of the night-or half
of it, or a third of it-and a group of those with you. Allah determines
the night and day. He knows you will not keep count of it, so He has turned
towards you. Recite as much of the Qur'an as is easy for you. He knows
that some of you are ill and that others are travelling in the land seeking
Allah's bounty, and that others are fighting in the Way of Allah. So recite
as much of it as is easy for you. And perform prayer and give the alms
and lend a generous loan to Allah. Whatever good you send ahead for yourselves
you will find it with Allah as something better and as a greater reward.
And seek forgiveness from Allah. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(73:20)
Its collection and recitation are Our affair. (75:17)
So when We recite it, follow its recitation. (75:18)
It is We Who have sent the Qur'an down to you little by little. (76:23)
What is the matter with them that they have no faith and, when the Qur'an
is recited to them, do not prostrate? (84:20-21)
It is indeed a Glorious Qur'an. (85:21)
QURAYSH
In acknowledgment of the established tradition of Quraysh, their tradition
of the winter and summer caravans: so let them worship the Lord of this
House Who has preserved them from hunger and secured them from fear. (106:1-4)
