example of that to
11.58
When Our judgement came to pass, We saved Hud and those who believed with him through a special grace from Us - We did save them from a horrifying scourge.
11.59
Such were the people of 'Ad. They denied the revelations of their Rabb, disobeyed His Rasool, and followed the command of every stubborn oppressor.
11.60
They were followed by a curse in this world, and cursed they shall be on the Day of Resurrection. Beware! 'Ad denied their Rabb. Beware! Gone are 'Ad, the people of Hud.
Accusing chaste women of adultery, for
24.4
Those who accuse a chaste woman of fornication and do not produce four witnesses to support their allegation, shall be flogged with eighty lashes and their testimony shall not be accepted ever after, for they are the ones who are wicked transgressors
24.5
- except those who repent thereafter and mend their conduct; for Allah is surely Forgiving, Merciful.
Adulterous women, for
4.15
If any of your women are guilty of fornication, ask for four reliable witnesses from among yourselves against them; and if they testify and their guilt is proved, confine them to their houses until they die or Allah opens some other way out for them.
Adultery, exemplary for
24.2
As for the fornicatoress and the fornicator (a female and a male guilty of rape), flog each female and a male guilty of rape one hundred lashes and do not take pity in enforcing the law ordained by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day, and let a party of the believers witness their punishment.
Breach of the Sabbath, example of that for
2.65
You very well know the story of those of you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath; We ordered them: "Be detested apes".
2.66
Thus, We made their fate an example to their own people and to succeeding generations, and a lesson to those who are God-conscious.
Certainty of that to disbelievers
70.1
A questioner asked you about the punishment which is bound to happen.
70.2
It is for the disbelievers and there is none to avert it.
Disbelievers, example of that to
23.44
- and sent forth Our Rasools one after another: every time a Rasool came to his people, they disbelieved him, so We punished them one by one and made them a history; so gone is the nation of disbelievers.
Disbelievers at the hands of Believers, of
9.25
Allah has indeed helped you in many battlefields and (recently) on the day of Hunain: when you were proud of your great numbers (the Muslim army was 12,000 strong and the unbelievers were only 4,000), but the numbers availed you nothing. The earth, with all its vastness, seemed to close in upon you, and you turned your backs and fled.
9.26
But Allah sent down His sakeenah (peace and tranquility) upon His Rasool and the believers and sent down to your aid those forces which you could not see, and punished the unbelievers. Thus was the recompense for the unbelievers.
Disbelieving generations of old, taking lesson from that given to the
25.40
These unbelievers must have passed by that town which was destroyed by a fatal rain; had they not seen its ruins? But the fact of the matter is they do not believe in the life hereafter.
Disbelieving as a Sign of Allah, for
26.91
while hell shall be spread open to the straying
26.92
and they will be asked: "Now, where are those whom you worshipped
26.93
besides Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?"
26.94
Then they will be toppled into it, both they and those who misled them,
26.95
together with all the armies of Iblees.
26.96
Wherein they will argue with one another
26.97
saying: " By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error,
26.98
when we made you equals with the Rabb of the Worlds.
26.99
It was the criminals who led us astray.
26.100
Now we have no intercessors,
26.101
and no loving friends.
26.102
If we could but once return to our worldly life, we would be of the true believers."
26.103
Surely in this narration there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson to become believers.
Disbelieving wrong-doers, for the
52.47
Surely for such wrongdoers, there is another punishment besides that, even though most of them do not realize that.
Discord, of civil war and internal
8.25
Guard yourselves against temptation. The wrongdoers among you are not the only ones who will be tempted; and know that Allah is strict in retribution.
Entreating Allah submissively after worldly
23.76
for even now, when We have inflicted punishment on them, they have neither submitted to their Rabb nor humbled themselves towards Him.
23.77
Until when We open upon them a gate of severe punishment, you will see that they are plunged in utter despair.
Fearing that of the Hereafter
11.101
We were not unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves. The deities they invoked beside Allah did not avail them when the judgement of your Rabb came to pass; they added nothing to their lot but perdition.
11.102
Such is the scourge of your Rabb when He seizes a sinful town; indeed, His seizure is terrible and painful.
11.103
In fact, there is a sign in this for those who fear the punishment of the hereafter; that is a Day in which mankind will be gathered together and that will be a Day of Testimony.
Fire, preserving oneself from that of the
40.7
Those angels who bear the Throne of Allah and those who stand around it glorify their Rabb with His praises, believe in Him and implore forgiveness for the believers, saying: "Our Rabb! You embrace all things with your mercy and knowledge. Forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the punishment of the blazing fire.
40.8
O Rabb, admit them to the gardens of Eden which You have promised them together with all the righteous among their fathers, their wives and their descendants. You are the All-Mighty, All-Wise.
40.9
Deliver them from all evil. He whom You will deliver from the punishment of their sins on that Day will surely earn Your Mercy and that will surely be the highest achievement.
Fire, rejecting the truth of that of the
32.20
But those who transgress shall be cast into the fire. Whenever they try to escape from it, they shall be pushed back into it, and it will be said to them: "Taste the punishment of the fire which you used to deny."
32.21
We shall certainly make them taste the lighter torment in this life before the greater punishment of the hereafter, so that they may return to the Right Way.
Hell, prayer for averting that of
25.65
who say: "Our Rabb! Ward off the punishment of hell from us, for its punishment is atrocious
25.66
- certainly it is an evil abode and an evil resting place;"
Hereafter, of the
39.26
So Allah made them taste humiliation in this worldly life, and the punishment in the life to come shall be even more terrible, if they but knew it.
68.33
Such is the punishment in this life; but the punishment in the Hereafter is even greater, if they but knew it.
Homosexuality, for
4.16
And the two, whether married or unmarried, who are guilty of this offense, punish them both. If they repent and mend their ways, leave them alone. Surely Allah is the Acceptor of Repentance, Merciful.
Humility before Allah after worldly
23.76
for even now, when We have inflicted punishment on them, they have neither submitted to their Rabb nor humbled themselves towards Him.
23.77
Until when We open upon them a gate of severe punishment, you will see that they are plunged in utter despair.
Killing a Believer intentionally, for
4.93
Whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is hell to live therein forever. He shall incur the wrath of Allah, Who will lay His curse on him and prepare for him a woeful punishment.
Lewd women, for
4.15
If any of your women are guilty of fornication, ask for four reliable witnesses from among yourselves against them; and if they testify and their guilt is proved, confine them to their houses until they die or Allah opens some other way out for them.
Lewdness by married captive women, for
4.25
If any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman, let him marry one of his own slave girls who is a believer; Allah knows how good you are in your faith. You all belong to one and the same community. Marry them with the permission of their family and give them their fair dowry so that they may live a decent life in wedlock and not live as prostitutes or look for secret illicit relationships. Then if after marriage they commit adultery, they shall be given half the punishment prescribed for a free adulteress. The concession of such a marriage is for those of you who fear that they might commit a sin if they do not get married, but it is better for you to practice self-restraint. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Midian for disbelief and injustice, example of that to
11.94
When Our judgement came to pass, We delivered Shu'aib and those who believed with him through Our special mercy. A mighty blast seized the wrongdoers and they lay dead with their faces down in their homes by the morning,
11.95
as if they had never flourished there. Behold! Like Thamud, gone are the people of Median!
Mischief, for striving for
5.33
The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Rasool and strive to create mischief in the land is death or crucifixion or the cutting off their hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land based on the gravity of their offense. This will be their humiliation in this world and in the Hereafter they will have grievous punishment,
5.34
except those who repent before you apprehend them, in such a case, you should know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Oppression and tumult, of
8.25
Guard yourselves against temptation. The wrongdoers among you are not the only ones who will be tempted; and know that Allah is strict in retribution.
People of Lot for disbelieving and wickedness and wrongdoing, example of that to the
11.82
When Our Judgement came to pass, We turned the cities upside down and rained down on them brimstones of baked clay, layer upon layer,
11.83
specially marked by your Rabb. Such scourge is not far off from the wrongdoers!
People of Noah, example of that to the rejecting
25.37
Likewise, the people of Nuh (Noah) We drowned when they rejected the Rasools and made them an example for mankind; and We have prepared a painful punishment for such wrongdoers.
People of Pharaoh, example of that to the disbelieving and wrong-doing
11.97
to Fir'on (Pharaoh) and his chiefs; but they followed the command of Fir'on, and the command of Fir'on was not right.
11.98
He will be in front of his people on the Day of Resurrection, and will bring them down to Hell. How awful will be the place to which they will be brought?
11.99
A curse followed them in this life, and a curse will follow them on the Day of Resurrection. What an evil reward for one to receive.
People of Pharaoh, example of that to the rejecting
23.48
So they disbelieved both of them and became among those who were destroyed.
Pharaoh for disbelieving and wrong-doing, example of that to
11.97
to Fir'on (Pharaoh) and his chiefs; but they followed the command of Fir'on, and the command of Fir'on was not right.
11.98
He will be in front of his people on the Day of Resurrection, and will bring them down to Hell. How awful will be the place to which they will be brought?
11.99
A curse followed them in this life, and a curse will follow them on the Day of Resurrection. What an evil reward for one to receive.
Rass, example of that to
25.38
The nations of `Ad and Thamud were also destroyed, and so were the dwellers of Ar-Rass, and many generations between them.
25.39
We admonished each of them by citing examples of those who were destroyed before them, even then they rejected Our revelations, so We exterminated each one of them.
Rebellion by wives, for
4.34
Men are overseers over women because Allah has given the one more strength than other, and because men are required to spend their wealth for the maintenance of women. Honorable women are, therefore, devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absence what Allah require them to guard their husband's property and their own honor. As to those women from whom you fear disobedience, first admonish them, then refuse to share your bed with them, and then, if necessary, beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further actions against them and do not make excuses to punish them. Allah is Supremely Great and is aware of your actions.
Sedition, of
8.25
Guard yourselves against temptation. The wrongdoers among you are not the only ones who will be tempted; and know that Allah is strict in retribution.
Sign of Allah, for straying in evil as a
26.91
while hell shall be spread open to the straying
26.92
and they will be asked: "Now, where are those whom you worshipped
26.93
besides Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?"
26.94
Then they will be toppled into it, both they and those who misled them,
26.95
together with all the armies of Iblees.
26.96
Wherein they will argue with one another
26.97
saying: " By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error,
26.98
when we made you equals with the Rabb of the Worlds.
26.99
It was the criminals who led us astray.
26.100
Now we have no intercessors,
26.101
and no loving friends.
26.102
If we could but once return to our worldly life, we would be of the true believers."
26.103
Surely in this narration there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson to become believers.
Sign of Allah, for worshipping false gods as a
26.91
while hell shall be spread open to the straying
26.92
and they will be asked: "Now, where are those whom you worshipped
26.93
besides Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?"
26.94
Then they will be toppled into it, both they and those who misled them,
26.95
together with all the armies of Iblees.
26.96
Wherein they will argue with one another
26.97
saying: " By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error,
26.98
when we made you equals with the Rabb of the Worlds.
26.99
It was the criminals who led us astray.
26.100
Now we have no intercessors,
26.101
and no loving friends.
26.102
If we could but once return to our worldly life, we would be of the true believers."
26.103
Surely in this narration there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson to become believers.
Sinning, for
70.11
though they will see each other. To save himself from the punishment of that Day, the culprit (disbeliever) will wish to give his children,
70.12
his wife, his brother,
70.13
his relatives - who gave him shelter -
70.14
and all that is in the earth, in ransom to save himself.
70.15
By no means! It will be the fire of hell,
70.16
eager to pluck out his skull,
70.17
it will be calling all those who try to escape and turn their back,
70.18
who collected wealth and withheld it.
Story of the People of the Garden, example of that of the world in the
68.17
Surely We shall try them as We tried the owners of the garden when they swore that they would pluck its fruit the next morning,
68.18
without adding any reservation ( such as God willing).
68.19
So a calamity from your Rabb came down upon it while they slept,
68.20
and by the morning it lay as if it had been already harvested.
68.21
At daybreak they called out to one another,
68.22
saying: "Go out early to your crop, if you want to pick its fruit."
68.23
So they went, whispering to one another:
68.24
"Let no needy person enter upon you in the garden today."
68.25
Thus they went out, fixed in their stingy resolve (not to give any fruit to the poor people, as if they had the full control over harvesting the fruit).
68.26
But when they saw the garden, they cried: "Surely we must have lost our way!
68.27
Nay, we have become destitute."
68.28
The most upright among them said: "Did I not tell you to glorify Allah? Why did you not glorify Him?"
68.29
Then they said: "Glory be to our Rabb! Surely we were unjust,"
68.30
and they started blaming one another.
68.31
Finally they said: "Woe to us! Surely we had become rebellious.
68.32
It may be that our Rabb will give us in exchange a better garden than this: surely to our Rabb do we make our humble petition."
68.33
Such is the punishment in this life; but the punishment in the Hereafter is even greater, if they but knew it.
Thamud, example of that to
25.38
The nations of `Ad and Thamud were also destroyed, and so were the dwellers of Ar-Rass, and many generations between them.
25.39
We admonished each of them by citing examples of those who were destroyed before them, even then they rejected Our revelations, so We exterminated each one of them.
Thamud, example of that to the disbelieving and wrongdoing
11.66
When Our Judgement came to pass, We saved Saleh and those who believed with him, through a special grace from Us, from the disgrace of that Day. Indeed your Rabb is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
11.67
A terrible blast overtook the wrongdoers and by the morning they were laying with their faces down in their homes,
11.68
as if they had never flourished there. Beware! Thamud denied their Rabb. Gone are the people of Thamud.
Thamud, lesson from that to
41.13
Now if they turn away, say to them: "I have given you warning of a thunderbolt, like the thunderbolt which struck Ad and Thamud."
41.14
When their Rasools came to them from before and from behind, saying: "Worship none but Allah." They replied: "If our Rabb wanted to send us a message, He would certainly have sent down angels, so we categorically deny the message with which you are sent."
41.15
As for `Ad, they conducted themselves with arrogance in the land without any justification and said: "Who is stronger than us in might?" Could they not see that Allah Who created them, was mightier than them? Yet they continued to reject Our revelations.
41.16
So, over a few ill-omened days, We let loose on them a furious hurricane to make them taste a shameful scourge in this life, but more shameful still will be the punishment of the hereafter, and they shall have none to help them.
41.17
As for Thamud, We offer them Our guidance, but they preferred to remain blind rather than to receive guidance towards the Right Way; so the thunderbolt of humiliating scourge seized them for their misdeeds,
41.18
but We saved those who believed and had the fear of Allah.
69.4
The Thamud and the 'Ad people denied the striking calamity.
69.5
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the Thunderbolt.
69.6
As for 'Ad they were destroyed by a furious windstorm
69.7
- which He let loose on them for seven nights and eight successive days. Had you been there, you would have seen them lying prostrate as though they were hollow trunks of the palm-trees.
69.8
Now, do you see any of them alive?
Theft, exemplary for
5.38
Male or female, whoever is guilty of theft, cut off the hand (that was used in theft) of either of them as a punishment for their crime. This is exemplary punishment ordained by Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
5.39
But whoever repents after committing the crime and reforms his conduct, Allah will surely turn to him with forgiveness. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
War against Allah and Muhammad(S), for waging
5.33
The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Rasool and strive to create mischief in the land is death or crucifixion or the cutting off their hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land based on the gravity of their offense. This will be their humiliation in this world and in the Hereafter they will have grievous punishment,
5.34
except those who repent before you apprehend them, in such a case, you should know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Warning of that for sin as a favour of Allah
55.35
We shall create their wives of special creation
55.35
The flames of fire and molten brass will be unleashed on you both, jinns and men, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.
55.36
and make them virgins
55.36
Then, O jinns and men, which of your Rabb’s favors will both of you deny?
55.37
beloved by nature, equal in age,
55.37
When the heaven splits asunder and reddens like red-oil.
55.38
for those of the right hand.
55.38
Then, O jinns and men, which of your Rabb’s favors will both of you deny?
55.39
Many of them will be from the former
55.39
On that Day neither man nor jinn will need be asked about his sins.
55.40
and many from the later generations.
55.40
Then, O jinns and men, which of your Rabb’s favors will both of you deny?
55.41
As for those of the left hand - how unfortunate will be the people of the left hand!
55.41
Because the sinners will be recognized by their faces and they shall be seized by their forelocks and their feet.
55.42
They will be in the midst of scorching winds and in boiling water:
55.42
Then, O jinns and men, which of your Rabb’s favors will both of you deny?
55.43
in the shade of a pitch-black smoke,
55.43
It will be said to them: “This is the hell which the criminals had denied."
55.44
neither cool nor refreshing.
55.44
They shall wander to and fro between fire and hot boiling water.
55.45
For they lived in comfort before meeting this fate.
55.45
Then, O jinns and men, which of your Rabb’s favors will both of you deny?
World, of the
32.21
We shall certainly make them taste the lighter torment in this life before the greater punishment of the hereafter, so that they may return to the Right Way.
Wrong-doers, example of that to
23.41
So the Blast overtook them in all justice and We swept them away like the rubbish of dead leaves - so gone is the nation of wrongdoers.
Wrong-doing, example of that for
6.44
When they neglected the warning they had received, then, instead of punishment, We opened the gates of every kind of prosperity for them; but just as they were rejoicing in what they were given, We suddenly seized them; lo! They were plunged into despair!
6.45
Thus We cut off the roots of the wrongdoers. All praises are due to Allah the Rabb of the worlds.
