REVENGE
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)
You who believe! Do not kill game while you are in the state of pilgrimage.
If one of you kills any deliberately, the reprisal for it is a livestock
animal equivalent to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you,
a sacrifice to reach the Kaaba, or expiation by feeding the poor, or fasting
commensurate with that, so that he may taste the evil consequences of
what he did. Allah has pardoned all that took place in the past; but if
anyone does it again Allah will take revenge on him. Allah is Almighty,
Exactor of Revenge. (5:95)
Then We took revenge on them and drowned them in the sea because they
denied Our Signs and paid no attention to them. (7:136)
Do not imagine that Allah will break His promise to His Messengers. Allah
is Almighty, Exactor of Revenge. (14:47)
We took revenge on them as well. They are both beside a well-beaten track.
(15:79)
Before you We sent other Messengers to their people, and they too brought
them the Clear Signs. We took revenge on those who did evil; and it is
Our duty to help the believers. (30:47)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who is reminded of the Signs
of his Lord and then turns away from them? We will take revenge on the
evildoers. (32:22)
Is Allah not enough for His servant? Yet they try to scare you with others
apart from Him. If Allah misguides someone, he has no guide and if Allah
guides someone, he cannot be misguided. Is Allah not Almighty, Exactor
of Revenge? (39:36-37)
So We took revenge on them. And see the final fate of the deniers! (43:25)
Either We will extricate you and take revenge on them or let you see
what We have promised them. They are completely in Our power. (43:41-42)
Then when they had provoked Our wrath, We took revenge on them and drowned
every one of them. (43:55)
On the day We launch the Great Assault We will certainly take Our revenge.
(44:16)
REVILED
He said (to Satan), 'Get out of it, reviled and driven out. As for those
of them who follow you, I will fill up Hell with every one of you.' (7:18)
As for anyone who desires this fleeting existence, We hasten in it whatever
We will to whoever We want. Then We will consign him to Hell where he
will roast, reviled and driven out. (17:18)
Do not set up any other god together with Allah and so sit there reviled
and forsaken. (17:22)
REWARD
Those with faith, those who are Jews, and the Christians and Sabaeans,
all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly, will have their
reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow.
(2:62)
If only they had believed and done their duty! A reward from Allah is
better, if they only knew. (2:103)
Not so! All who submit themselves completely to Allah and are good-doers
will find their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will
know no sorrow. (2:112)
Those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah, and then do not follow
what they have spent by demands for gratitude or insulting words will
have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know
no sorrow. (2:262)
Those who give away their wealth by night and day, secretly and openly,
will have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will
know no sorrow. (2:274)
Those who believe and do right actions and perform prayer and give the
alms, will have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and
will know no sorrow. (2:277)
You will not be denied the reward for any good thing you do. Allah knows
those who guard against evil. (3:115)
Their recompense is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers
flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. How excellent
is the reward of those who act! (3:136)
No self can die except with Allah's permission, at a predetermined time.
If anyone desires the reward of this world, We will give him some of it.
If anyone desires the reward of the hereafter, We will give him some of
it. We will recompense the thankful. (3:145)
So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the best reward of the
hereafter. Allah loves good-doers. (3:148)
Those who who did good and guarded against evil among those who responded
to Allah and the Messenger after the wound had been inflicted will have
an immense reward. (3:172)
Allah will only leave the believers in the position you now are in so
that He can sift out the rotten from the good. Allah has not given you
access to the Unseen. But Allah chooses those of His Messengers whom He
wills. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. If you believe and guard
against evil you will have an immense reward. (3:179)
Their Lord responds to them: 'I will not let the deeds of any doer among
you go to waste, male or female-you are both the same in that respect.
Those who migrated and were driven from their homes and suffered harm
in My Way and fought and were killed, I will erase their bad actions from
them and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, as a
reward from Allah. The best of all rewards is with Allah.' (3:195)
Among the people of the Book there are some who believe in Allah and
in what has been sent down to you and what was sent down to them, and
who are humble before Allah. They do not sell Allah's Signs for a paltry
price. Such people will have their reward with their Lord. And Allah is
swift at reckoning. (3:199)
Allah does not wrong anyone by so much as the smallest speck. And if
there is a good deed Allah will multiply it and pay out an immense reward
direct from Him. (4:40)
In that case (if they had done what they were urged to do) We would have
given them an immense reward from Us. (4:67)
So let those who sell the life of this world for the hereafter fight
in the Way of Allah. If someone fights in the Way of Allah, whether he
is killed or is victorious, We will pay him an immense reward. (4:74)
Those who join forces for good will receive a reward for it. Those who
join forces for evil will be answerable for it. Allah gives all things
what they deserve. (4:85)
Those believers who stay behind-other than those forced to by necessity-are
not the same as those who strive in the Way of Allah, sacrificing their
wealth and themselves. Allah has given those who strive with their wealth
and themselves a higher rank than those who stay behind. Allah has promised
the Best to both, but Allah has preferred those who strive over those
who stay behind by an immense reward. (4:95)
Those who migrate in the Way of Allah will find many places of refuge
on the earth and ample sustenance. If anyone leaves his home, migrating
to Allah and His Messenger, and death catches up with him, it is Allah
Who will reward him. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (4:100)
There is no good in much of their secret talk, except in the case of
those who enjoin charity, or what is right, or putting things right between
people. If anyone does that, seeking the pleasure of Allah, We will give
him an immense reward. (4:114)
If anyone desires the reward of this world, the reward of both this world
and hereafter is with Allah. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (4:134)
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
hold fast to Allah and dedicate their religion to Allah alone; they are
with the believers. Allah will give the believers an immense reward. (4:145-146)
Allah has promised those who believe and do right actions forgiveness
and an immense reward. (5:9)
Allah will reward them for what they say with Gardens with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the recompense
of the good-doers. (5:85)
The magicians came to Pharaoh and they asked, 'Will we receive a reward
if we are the winners?' (7:113)
That is your reward, so taste it. The disbelievers will also have the
punishment of the Fire. (8:14)
That is your reward. Allah always confounds the schemes of the disbelievers.
(8:18)
Know that your wealth and children are a trial and that there is an immense
reward with Allah. (8:28)
Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and good pleasure and
Gardens where they will enjoy everlasting delight, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever and ever. Truly there is an immense reward with Allah. (9:21-22)
Except for those who are steadfast and do right actions. They will receive
forgiveness and a large reward. (11:11)
And then when he became a full-grown man, We gave him knowledge and right
judgement too. That is how We reward all doers of good. (12:22)
So when they came into his (Yusuf's) 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)
(Their Lord revealed to them,) 'We will leave you the land to live in
after them. That is the reward of those who fear My station and fear My
threat.' (14:14)
As for those who migrate for Allah's sake after being wronged, We shall
give them good lodging in this world, and the reward of the hereafter
is greater still if they only knew. (16:41)
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)
It is straight, to warn of violent force direct from Him, and to give
the good news to the believers, those who do right actions, that for them
there is an excellent reward. (18:2)
They will have Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them. They will
be adorned in them with bracelets made of gold and wear green garments
made of the finest silk and rich brocade, reclining there on couches under
canopies. What an excellent reward! What a wonderful repose! (18:31)
In that situation the only protection is from Allah, the Real. He gives
the best reward and the best outcome. (18:44)
Wealth and sons are the embellishment of the life of this world. But,
in your Lord's sight, right actions which are lasting bring a better reward
and are a better basis for hope. (18:46)
(Dhu'l-Qarnayn said,) 'But as for him who believes and acts rightly,
he will receive the best of rewards and we will issue a command, making
things easy for him.' (18:88)
Allah augments those who are guided by giving them greater guidance.
In your Lord's sight, right actions which are lasting are better both
in reward and end result. (19:76)
Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever. That is the reward of those who purify themselves. (20:76)
(Allah will say,) 'Today I have rewarded them for being steadfast. They
are the ones who are victorious.' (23:111)
... 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-so that Allah can reward them for the best of
what they did and give them more from His unbounded favour. Allah provides
for anyone He wills without reckoning. (24:36-38)
When the magicians came, they said to Pharaoh, 'Will we be rewarded if
we are the winners?' (26:41)
They will be given their reward twice over because they have been steadfast
and because they ward off the bad with the good and give from what we
have provided for them. (28:54)
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.' (28:80)
We gave him Ishaq and Ya'qub and placed Prophethood and the Book among
his progeny. We gave him his reward in this world and in the hereafter
he will be among the righteous. (29:27)
As for those who believe and do right actions, We will lodge them in
lofty chambers in the Garden, with rivers flowing under them, remaining
in them timelessly, for ever. How excellent is the reward of those who
act. (29:58)
(O Prophet, tell your wives:) 'But if you desire Allah and His Messenger
and the abode of the hereafter, Allah has prepared an immense reward for
those among you who are good-doers.' (33:29)
But those of you who are obedient to Allah and His Messenger and act
rightly will be given their reward twice over; and We have prepared generous
provision for them. (33:31)
Men and women who are Muslims, men and women who are believers, men and
women who are obedient, men and women who are truthful, men and women
who are steadfast, men and women who are humble, men and women who give
charity, men and women who fast, men and women who guard their chastity,
men and women who remember Allah much: Allah has prepared forgiveness
for them and an immense reward. (33:35)
Their greeting on the Day they meet Him will be 'Peace!' and He has prepared
a generous reward for them. (33:44)
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)
You can only warn those who act on the Reminder and fear the All-Merciful
in the Unseen. Give them the good news of forgiveness and a generous reward.
(36:11)
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 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)
Those who pledge you their allegiance pledge allegiance to Allah. Allah's
hand is over their hands. He who breaks his pledge only breaks it against
himself. But as for him who fulfils the contract he has made with Allah,
We will pay him an immense reward. (48:10)
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)
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)
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are fierce
to the disbelievers, merciful to one another. You see them bowing and
prostrating, seeking Allah's good favour and His pleasure. Their mark
is on their faces, the traces of prostration. That is their likeness in
the Torah. And their likeness in the Gospel is that of a seed which puts
up a shoot and makes it strong so that it thickens and grows up straight
upon its stalk, filling the sowers with delight-so that by them He may
infuriate the disbelievers. Allah has promised those of them who believe
and do right actions forgiveness and an immense reward. (48:29)
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)
We bore him (Nuh) on a planked and well-caulked ship, which ran before
Our eyes-a reward for him who had been rejected. (54:13-14)
Will the reward for doing good be anything other than good? (55:60)
Believe in Allah and His Messenger and give of that to which He has made
you successors. Those of you who believe and give will have an immense
reward. (57:7)
Who will make a good loan to Allah so that He may multiply it for him?
He will have a generous reward. (57:11)
The men and women who give charity and make a good loan to Allah will
have it increased for them and they will have a generous reward. (57:18)
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)
Your wealth and children are a trial. But with Allah there is an immense
reward. (64:15)
That is Allah's command which He has sent down to you. Whoever has fear
of Allah-He will erase his bad actions from him and greatly increase his
reward. (65:5)
Those who fear their Lord in the Unseen will have forgiveness and an
immense reward. (67:12)
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)
So Allah has safeguarded them from the evil of that Day and has made
them meet with radiance and pure joy and will reward them for their steadfastness
with a Garden and with silk. (76:11-12)
'This is your reward. Your striving is fully acknowledged.' (76:22)
'This is the way We reward good-doers.' (77:44)
Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is
pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is for those who
fear their Lord. (98:8)
RIBA (SEE USURY)
RICH
It (the charity) is for the poor who are held back in the Way of Allah,
unable to travel in the land. The ignorant consider them rich because
of their reticence. You will know them by their mark. They do not ask
from people insistently. Whatever good you give away, Allah knows it.
(2:273)
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)
You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for Allah alone,
even against yourselves or your parents and relatives. Whether they are
rich or poor, Allah is well able to look after them. Do not follow your
own desires and deviate from the truth. If you twist or turn away, Allah
is aware of what you do. (4:135)
You who believe! The idolaters are unclean, so after this year they should
not come near the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram). If you fear impoverishment,
Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. (9:28)
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)
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)
Marry off those among you who are unmarried and those of your slaves
and slavegirls who are righteous. If they are poor, Allah will enrich
them from His bounty. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (24:32)
Those who cannot find the means to marry should be abstinent until Allah
enriches them from His bounty. If any slaves you own want to make a contract
to free themselves, write it for them if you know of good in them and
give them some of the wealth Allah has given you. Do not force your slavegirls
to prostitute themselves if they desire to be virtuous women out of your
desire for the goods of this world. If anyone forces them, then after
they have been forced, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (24:33)
Whatever booty Allah gives to His Messenger from city dwellers belongs
to Allah and to the Messenger and to near relatives and orphans and the
very poor and travellers, so that it does not become something which merely
revolves between the rich among you. Whatever the Messenger gives you
you should accept and whatever he forbids you you should forgo. Have fear
of Allah-Allah is severe in retribution. (59:7)
Did He not find you impoverished and enrich you? (93:8)
RIDING
They say, 'These animals and crops are sacrosanct. No one may eat them
except those we wish',-as they allege-and animals on whose backs it is
forbidden to ride, and animals over which they do not mention Allah's
name, inventing falsehood against Him. He will repay them for the things
they have invented. (6:138)
And also (He provides) animals for riding and for haulage and animals
for slaughtering and for wool. Eat what Allah has provided for you and
do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. He is an outright enemy to you.
(6:142)
Remember when you called on your Lord for help and He responded to you:
'I will reinforce you with a thousand angels riding rank after rank.'
(8:9)
And horses, mules and donkeys both to ride and for adornment. And He
creates other things you do not know. (16:8)
We have made them tame for them and some they ride and some they eat.
(36:72)
It is Allah Who has given you livestock, some for you to ride and some
to eat. (40:79)
It is He Who created all the species and gave you ships and livestock
for you to ride. (43:12)
RIGHTEOUS (SALIHUN)
Who would deliberately renounce the religion of Ibrahim except someone
who reveals himself to be a fool? We chose him in this world and in the
hereafter he will be one of the righteous. (2:130)
The angels called out to him while he (Zakariyya) was standing in prayer
in the Upper Room: 'Allah gives you the good news of Yahya, who will come
to confirm a Word from Allah, and will be a leader and a celibate, a Prophet
and one of the righteous.' (3:39)
When the angels said, 'Maryam, your Lord gives you good news of a Word
from Him. His name is the Messiah, 'Isa, son of Maryam, of high esteem
in this world and the hereafter, and one of those brought near.' (3:45)
They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin the right and forbid
the wrong, and compete in doing good. They are among the righteous. (3:114)
Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be with those whom Allah has
blessed: the Prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and
the righteous. What excellent company such people are! (4:69)
How could we not believe in Allah, and the truth that has come to us,
when we long for our Lord to include us among the righteous?' (5:84)
And Zakariyya, Yahya, 'Isa and Ilyas. All of them were among the righteous.
(6:85)
And We divided them into nations in the earth. Some of them are righteous
and some are other than that. We tried them with good and evil so that
hopefully they would return. (7:168)
As for those who hold fast to the Book and perform prayer, We will not
let the wage of the righteous be wasted. (7:170)
(Say:) 'My Protector is Allah Who sent down the Book. He takes care of
the righteous.' (7:196)
Among them there were some who made an agreement with Allah: 'If He gives
us of His bounty we will definitely give charity and be among the righteous.'
(9:75)
Two servants entered prison along with him (Yusuf). One said, 'I dreamt
that I was pressing grapes.' The other said, 'I dreamt I carried bread
upon my head and birds were eating it. Tell us the true meaning of these
dreams. We see that you're one of the righteous.' (12:36)
(Yusuf said,) 'My Lord, You have granted power to me on earth and taught
me the true meaning of events. Originator of the heavens and earth, You
are my Friend in this world and the Next. So take me as a Muslim at my
death and join me to the people who are righteous.' (12:101)
Gardens of Eden which they will enter, and all of their parents, wives
and children who were righteous. Angels will enter in to welcome them
from every gate. (13:23)
We gave him good in this world and in the hereafter he will be one of
the righteous. (16:122)
Your Lord knows best what is in your selves. If you are righteous, He
is Ever-Forgiving to the remorseful. (17:25)
(He whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had also given knowledge
direct from Us said to Musa,) 'As for the wall, it belonged to two young
orphans in the town and there was a treasure underneath it, belonging
to them. Their father was one of the righteous and your Lord wanted them
to come of age and then to unearth their treasure as a mercy from Him.
I did not do it of my own volition. That is the explanation of the things
about which you were not able to restrain yourself.' (18:82)
And in addition to that We gave him Ishaq and Ya'qub and made both of
them righteous. (21:72)
We admitted him into Our mercy. He was one of the righteous. (21:75)
We admitted them into Our mercy. They were among the righteous. (21:86)
We wrote down in the Zabur, after the Reminder came: 'It is My servants
who are righteous who will inherit the earth.' (21:105)
Marry off those among you who are unmarried and those of your slaves
and slavegirls who are righteous. If they are poor, Allah will enrich
them from His bounty. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (24:32)
(Ibrahim said,) 'My Lord, give me right judgement and unite me with the
righteous.' (26:83)
He (Sulayman) smiled, laughing at its words, and said, 'My Lord, keep
me thankful for the blessing You have bestowed on me and on my parents,
and keep me acting rightly, pleasing You, and admit me, by Your mercy,
among Your servants who are righteous.' (27:19)
He said (to Musa), 'I would like to marry you to one of these two daughters
of mine on condition that you work for me for eight full years. If you
complete ten, that is up to you. I do not want to be hard on you. You
will find me, Allah willing, to be one of the righteous.' (28:27)
As for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit them among
the righteous. (29:9)
We gave him Ishaq and Ya'qub and placed Prophethood and the Book among
his progeny. We gave him his reward in this world and in the hereafter
he will be among the righteous. (29:27)
We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a Prophet, one of the righteous.
(37:112)
We have instructed man to be good to his parents. His mother bore him
with difficulty and with difficulty gave birth to him; and his bearing
and weaning take thirty months. Then when he achieves his full strength
and reaches forty, he says, 'My Lord, keep me thankful for the blessing
You bestowed on me and on my parents, and keep me acting rightly, pleasing
You. And make my descendants righteous. I have repented to You and I am
truly one of the Muslims.' (46:15)
Give from what We have provided for you before death comes to one of
you and he says, 'My Lord, if only you would give me a little more time
so that I can give charity and be one of the righteous!' (63:10)
Allah has made an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Nuh and
the wife of Lut. They were married to two of Our servants who were righteous
but they betrayed them and were not helped at all against Allah. They
were told, 'Enter the Fire along with all who enter it.' (66:10)
But his Lord chose him and made him one of the righteous. (68:50)
Among us there are some who are righteous and some who are other than
that. We follow many different paths. (72:11)
RIVER
Give the good news to those who believe and do right actions that they
will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. When they are given
fruit there as provision, they will say, 'This is what we were given before.'
But they were only given a simulation of it. They will have there spouses
of perfect purity and will remain there timelessly, for ever. (2:25)
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)
When Talut marched out with the army, he said, 'Allah will test you with
a river. Anyone who drinks from it is not with me. But anyone who does
not taste it is with me-except for him who merely scoops up a little in
his hand.' But they drank from it-except for a few of them. Then when
he and those who believed with him had crossed it, they said, 'We do not
have the strength to face Goliath and his troops today.' But those who
were sure that they were going to meet Allah said, 'How many a small force
has triumphed over a much greater one by Allah's permission! Allah is
with the steadfast.' (2:249)
Would any of you like to have a garden of dates and grapes, with rivers
flowing underneath and containing all kinds of fruits, then to be stricken
with old age and have children who are weak, and then for a fierce whirlwind
containing fire to come and strike it so that it goes up in flames? In
this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will
reflect. (2:266)
Say, 'Shall I tell you of something better than that?' Those who guard
against evil will have Gardens with their Lord, with rivers flowing under
them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and purified wives, and
the Pleasure of Allah. Allah sees His servants. (3:15)
Their recompense is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers
flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. How excellent
is the reward of those who act! (3:136)
Their Lord responds to them: 'I will not let the deeds of any doer among
you go to waste, male or female-you are both the same in that respect.
Those who migrated and were driven from their homes and suffered harm
in My Way and fought and were killed, I will erase their bad actions from
them and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, as a
reward from Allah. The best of all rewards is with Allah.' (3:195)
But those who have fear of their Lord will have Gardens with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever: hospitality from Allah.
What is with Allah is better for those who are truly good. (3:198)
These are Allah's limits. As for those who obey Allah and His Messenger,
We will admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining
in them timelessly, for ever. That is the Great Victory. (4:13)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit them
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever and ever. In them they will have spouses of perfect purity and
We will admit them into cool, refreshing shade. (4:57)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will admit them
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever and ever. Allah's promise is true. Whose speech could be truer
than Allah's? (4:122)
Allah made a covenant with the tribe of Israel and We raised up twelve
leaders from among them. Allah said, 'I am with you. If you perform prayer
and give the alms, and believe in My Messengers and respect and support
them, and make a generous loan to Allah, I will erase your wrong actions
from you and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing under them. Any
of you who disbelieve after that have gone astray from the right way.'
(5:12)
Allah will reward them for what they say with Gardens with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever. That is the recompense
of the good-doers. (5:85)
Allah will say, 'This is the Day when the sincerity of the sincere will
benefit them. They will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining
in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is pleased with them and
they are pleased with Him. That is the Great Victory.' (5:119)
Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them which
We had established on the earth far more firmly than We have established
you? We sent down heaven upon them in abundant rain and made rivers flow
under them. But We destroyed them for their wrong actions and raised up
further generations after them. (6:6)
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)
Allah has promised the men and women of the believers Gardens with rivers
flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and fine dwellings
in the Gardens of Eden. And Allah's good pleasure is even greater. That
is the great victory. (9:72)
Allah has prepared Gardens for them with rivers flowing under them, remaining
in them timelessly, for ever. That is the great victory. (9:89)
The forerunners-the first of the Migrants (Muhajirun) and the Supporters
(Ansar)-and those who have followed them in doing good: Allah is pleased
with them and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared Gardens for them
with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever
and ever. That is the great victory. (9:100)
But as for those who believe and do right actions, their Lord will guide
them by their faith. Rivers will flow under them in Gardens of Delight.
(10:9)
It is He Who stretched out the earth and placed firmly embedded mountains
and rivers in it and made two types of every kind of fruit. He covers
over day with night. There are Signs in that for people who reflect. (13:3)
He sends down water from the sky and river-beds fill up and flow according
to their size, and the floodwater carries with it an increasing layer
of scum; a similar kind of scum comes from what you heat up in the fire,
when you desire to make jewellery or other things. That is how Allah depicts
the true and the false. As for the scum, it is quickly swept away. But
as for that which is of use to people, it remains behind in the ground.
That is a metaphor which Allah has made. (13:17)
What is the Garden promised to those who guard against evil like? It
has rivers flowing under it and its foodstuffs and cool shade never fail.
That is the final fate of those who guard against evil. But the final
fate of the disbelievers is the Fire. (13:35)
Those who believed and did right actions will be admitted into Gardens
with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever
by the permission of their Lord. Their greeting there is 'Peace!' (14:23)
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down water
from the sky and by it brings forth fruits as provision for you. He has
made the ships subservient to you to run upon the sea by His command,
and He has made the rivers subservient to you. (14:32)
He cast firmly embedded mountains on the earth so it would not move under
you, and rivers and pathways so that hopefully you would be guided. (16:15)
Gardens of Eden which they enter, with rivers flowing under them, where
they have whatever they desire. That is how Allah repays those who guard
against evil. (16:31)
They say, 'We will not believe you until you make a spring gush out from
the earth for us; or have a garden of dates and grapes which you make
rivers come pouring through.' (17:90-91)
They will have Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them. They will
be adorned in them with bracelets made of gold and wear green garments
made of the finest silk and rich brocade, reclining there on couches under
canopies. What an excellent reward! What a wonderful repose! (18:31)
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)
Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever. That is the reward of those who purify themselves. (20:76)
Allah will admit those who believe and do right actions into Gardens
with rivers flowing under them. Allah does whatever He wishes. (22:14)
But Allah will admit those who believe and do right actions into Gardens
with rivers flowing under them where they will be adorned with gold bracelets
and pearls, and where their clothing will be of silk. (22:23)
Blessed be He Who, if He wishes, will grant you better than that: Gardens
with rivers flowing under them; and He will grant you Palaces. (25:10)
He Who made the earth a stable dwelling place and appointed rivers flowing
through its midst and placed firmly embedded mountains on it and set a
barrier between the two seas. Is there another god besides Allah? No indeed,
but most of them do not know it! (27:61)
As for those who believe and do right actions, We will lodge them in
lofty chambers in the Garden, with rivers flowing under them, remaining
in them timelessly, for ever. How excellent is the reward of those who
act. (29:58)
But those who have fear of their Lord will have high-ceilinged Halls,
and more such Halls built one above the other, and rivers flowing under
them. That is Allah's promise. Allah does not break His promise. (39:20)
Pharaoh called to his people, saying, 'My people, does the kingdom of
Egypt not belong to me? Do not all these rivers flow under my control?
Do you not then see?' (43:51)
Allah will admit those who believe to Gardens with rivers flowing under
them. Those who disbelieve have their enjoyment, eating as cattle eat,
but the Fire will be their final residence. (47:12)
An image of the Garden which is promised to those who guard against evil:
in it there are rivers of water which will never spoil and rivers of milk
whose taste will never change and rivers of wine, delightful to all who
drink it, and rivers of honey of undiluted purity; in it they will have
fruit of every kind and forgiveness from their Lord. Is that like those
who will be in the Fire timelessly, for ever, with boiling water to drink
which lacerates their bowels? (47:15)
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-so that He may
admit the men and women of the believers into Gardens with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and erase their bad
actions from them; and in Allah's sight that is a mighty victory. (48:4-5)
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)
The people who guard against evil will be amid Gardens and Rivers. (54:54)
On the Day you see the men and women of the believers, with their light
streaming out in front of them, and to their right: 'Good news for you
today of Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
for ever. That is the Great Victory.' (57:12)
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)
He will forgive you your wrong actions and admit you into Gardens with
rivers flowing under them, and fine dwellings in the Gardens of Eden.
That is the Great Victory. (61:12)
On the Day He gathers you for the Day of Gathering-that is the Day of
Profit and Loss. As for those who believe in Allah and act rightly, We
will erase their bad actions from them and admit them into Gardens with
rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and
ever. That is the Great Victory! (64:9)
(Allah has sent down) a Messenger reciting Allah's Clear Signs to you
to bring those who believe and do right actions out of the darkness into
the Light. Whoever believes in Allah and acts rightly, We will admit him
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them remaining in them timelessly,
for ever and ever. Allah has provided for him excellently! (65:11)
You who believe! Repent to Allah. It may be that your Lord will erase
your bad actions from you and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing
under them on the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those
who believed along with him. Their light will stream out ahead of them
and on their right. They will say, 'Our Lord, perfect our light for us
and forgive us! You have power over all things.' (66:8)
But those who believe and do right actions will have Gardens with rivers
flowing under them. That is the Great Victory. (85:11)
Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing
under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is
pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is for those who
fear their Lord. (98:8)
ROCK
And (remember) when Musa was looking for water for his people, We said,
'Strike the rock with your staff.' Then twelve fountains gushed out from
it and all the people knew their drinking place. 'Eat and drink of Allah's
provision and do not go about the earth corrupting it.' (2:60)
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)
Say: 'It would not matter if you were rock or iron or indeed any created
thing that you think is harder still!' They will say, 'Who will bring
us back again?' Say: 'He Who brought you into being in the first place.'
They will shake their heads at you and ask, 'When will it happen?' Say:
'It may well be that it is very near.' (17:50-51)
He (Musa's servant) said, 'Do you see what has happened? When we went
to find shelter at the rock, I forgot the fish. No one made me forget
to remember it except Satan. It found its way into the sea in an amazing
way.' (18:63)
(Luqman said,) 'My son, even if something weighs as little as a mustard-seed
and is inside a rock or anywhere else in the heavens or earth, Allah will
bring it out. Allah is All-Pervading, All-Aware.' (31:16)
And Thamud who carved out rocks in the valley-side (was one of the tyrants).
(89:9)
ROLLING OF THE EYES
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, at that point the believers were tested and severely shaken.
(33:10-11)
Allah knows the obstructers among you and those who say to their brothers,
'Come to us,' and who only come to fight a very little, and are begrudging
towards you. Then when fear comes, you see them looking at you, their
eyes rolling like people scared to death. But when fear departs they flay
you with sharp tongues, grasping for wealth. Such people have no faith
and Allah will make their actions come to nothing. That is easy for Allah.
(33:18-19)
ROMANS
The Romans have been defeated in the land nearby, but after their defeat
they will themselves be victorious in a few years' time. The affair is
Allah's from beginning to end. On that day, the believers will rejoice.
(30:2-4)
ROOF
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)
We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet still they turn away
from Our Signs. (21:32)
Were it not that mankind might all become one community, We would have
given those who reject the All-Merciful silver roofs to their houses and
silver stairways to ascend. (43:33)
ROUT
And with Allah's permission they routed them. Dawud killed Goliath and
Allah gave him kingship and wisdom and taught him whatever He willed.
If it were not for Allah's driving some people back by means of others,
the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah shows favour to all the
worlds. (2:251)
Even a whole army of Confederates will be routed there! (38:11)
The assembly will be routed and will turn their backs in flight. (54:45)
RUBY
Like precious gems of ruby and pearl. (55:58)
RUG
(Believers will be) reclining on green quilts and exquisite rugs. (55:76)
(In the Garden are) spread-out rugs. (88:16)
RUH (SEE SPIRIT)
RULING
They request from you a ruling concerning women. Say, 'Allah gives you
a ruling about them; and also what is recited to you in the Book about
orphan girls to whom you do not give the inheritance they are owed, while
at the same time desiring to marry them; and also about young children
who are denied their rights: that you should act justly with respect to
orphans.' Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. (4:127)
They request from you a ruling. Say: 'Allah gives you a ruling about
people who die without direct heirs: If a man dies childless but has a
sister she receives half of what he leaves, and he is her heir if she
dies childless. If there are two sisters they receive two-thirds of what
he leaves. If there are brothers and sisters the males receive the share
of two females. Allah makes things clear to you so you will not go astray.
Allah has knowledge of all things.' (4:176)
