Alms from the weak-willed who succumb to evil
9.103
Take sadaqat (this commanded sadaqat means - Zakat-ul-Mall) from their wealth, so that they may thereby be cleansed and purified, and pray for them; for your prayer will give them comfort. Allah hears all and knows all.
-
Angels as lords
3.80
He would never ask you to take angels and prophets as your lords. Would he ask you to become kafir (unbelievers) after you have become Muslims (believers)?
-
Adhan as a jest and mockery by the People of the Scripture, of the
5.58
When you call for Salah (prayers) they make it as an object of mockery and pastime; this is because they are a people devoid of understanding.
-
Believers as friends
9.16
Do you think that you will be left alone (without trial)? While Allah has not yet demonstrated which of you had exerted your utmost struggle (in the path of Allah) and did not take any intimate friends other than Allah, His Rasool and the believers? Allah is well aware of all your actions.
-
Bond from disbelievers after defeating them
47.4
Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield smite their necks and, when you have thoroughly subdued them, then take prisoners of war and bind them firmly. After the war lay down her burdens, then you have the choice whether you show them favor or accept ransom. Thus are you commanded. If Allah wanted, He Himself could have punished them; but He adopted this way so that He may test some of you by means of others. As for those who are slain in the cause of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost.
-
Brethren and fathers who are disbelievers as friends and protectors
9.23
O believers! Do not take your fathers and your brothers as your friends if they prefer Kufr (unbelief) over Iman (belief); for those who turn away from this commandment shall be considered wrongdoers.
-
Concubines
5.5
Today all good clean things have been made lawful for you; and the food of the People of the Book is also made lawful for you and your food is made lawful for them. Likewise, marriage with chaste free believing women and also chaste women among the People who were given the Book before you is made lawful for you, provided that you give them their dowries and desire chastity, neither committing fornication nor taking them as mistresses. Anyone who commits Kufr with Iman (rejects faith), all his good deeds will be in vain and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.
-
Devil as protector, the
4.117
The pagans call upon female deities beside Him; by doing so they call nothing but the rebellious Shaitan
4.118
on whom Allah has laid His curse; and who has said: "I will take a good portion of Your servants and mislead them.
4.119
I will create in them false desires and order them to slit the ears of cattle. I will order them to tamper with Allah's creation." Therefore, whoever takes Shaitan as a guardian instead of Allah, has indeed become a clear-cut loser.
4.120
Shaitan makes promises to stir up in them false desires; but Shaitan makes them promises only to deceive them.
4.121
The home of such people who follow him will be hell, from where they will find no way to escape.
16.63
By Allah! We sent Rasools before you (O Muhammad) to other nations; but shaitan made their deeds seem fair to them so they did not believe, he is their patron today, and they shall have a painful punishment.
16.100
His authority is only over those who befriend him and commit shirk by his temptation.
-
Disbelievers for friends
3.28
Let not the believers make unbelievers their protectors rather than the believers; anyone who does so will have nothing to hope for from Allah - except if you do so as a precaution to guard yourselves against their tyranny. Anyhow, Allah warns you to fear Him: because with Allah is your final refuge.
4.144
O believers! Do not choose unbelievers to be your protecting friends instead of believers. Would you like to furnish Allah a clear proof against yourselves?

Disbelievers for friends rather than Believers

Enemies of Allah as friends
60.1
O believers! Do not make friendship with those who are enemies of Mine and yours. Would you show them friendship, when they have denied the truth that has come to you and have driven the Rasool and yourselves out of your homes, simply because you believe in Allah, your Rabb? If it was indeed to strive in My way, and to seek My good pleasure that you left your homes, how can you befriend in secret? I know all that you conceal, and all that you reveal. Any of you who does this, he indeed has gone astray from the Right Way.
60.2
If they overcome you, they would behave to you as enemies and stretch out their hands and their tongues towards you with evil, and they wish to see you become unbelievers.
60.3
On the Day of Resurrection, neither your relatives nor your children shall avail you. Allah will judge between you, and He is observing all your actions.
60.4
You have an excellent example in Ibrahim (Abraham) and his companions. They said to their people plainly: "We are clear of you and your gods, whom you worship besides Allah. We renounce you. Enmity and hate shall reign between us forever until you believe in Allah, the One and Only God." But do not emulate what Ibrahim said to his father: "I will pray for your forgiveness, although I have no power to get anything for you from Allah." Their collective prayer was: "Our Rabb! In You we have put our trust, to You we turn in repentance and to You is our final goal.
60.5
Our Rabb! Do not expose us to the plots of the unbelievers. Forgive us, our Rabb! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
60.6
Truly, in those there is an excellent example for everyone who puts their hopes in Allah and the Last Day. He that gives no heed should know that Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all praise.
60.7
It may well be that Allah will put love between you and those with whom you are now at odds because of the order which is given to you, for Allah is All-Powerful, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
60.8
Allah does not forbid you to be kind and equitable to those who had neither fought against your faith nor driven you out of your homes. In fact Allah loves the equitable.
60.9
Allah only forbids you to make friendship with those who fought you on account of your faith and drove you out of your homes and backed up others in your expulsion. Those who will take them for friends are indeed the wrongdoers.
60.13
O believers! Do not befriend those who have incurred the wrath of Allah. Indeed they despair of the Hereafter, just as the unbelievers despair of those buried in the graves.
-
Enemies of Muslims as friends
60.1

Helpers from among hypocrites
4.89
Their real wish is to see that you become a disbeliever, as they themselves have disbelieved, so that you may become exactly like them. So you should not take friends from their ranks unless they immigrate in the way of Allah; and if they do not, seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take any of them as protectors or helpers.
4.90
The exception to this is for those who take refuge with your allies or come over to you because their hearts restrain them both from fighting against you and from fighting against their own people. If Allah had wanted, He would have given them power over you and they might easily have fought against you; therefore, if they withdraw from you and cease their hostility and offer you peace, in that case Allah has not granted you permission to fight against them.
-
Hypocrites as friends
3.118
O believers! Do not make intimate friendships with any but with your own people. The unbelievers will not miss any opportunity to corrupt you. They desire nothing but your destruction: their malice has become evident from what they say; and what they conceal in their hearts is far worse. We have made Our revelations plain to you, if you do want to comprehend.
3.119
Whereas you love them, they do not love you even though you believe in their Holy Books (the Psalms, the Torah, and the Gospels). When they meet you they say "We also believe in your prophet and your Qur'an;" but when they are alone they bite their fingertips in rage against you. Say to them: "May you perish in your rage;" surely Allah knows all the secrets of the heart.
3.120
When you are blessed with good fortune they grieve; but if some misfortune overtakes you they rejoice. If you are patient and guard yourself against evil, their schemes will not harm you in any way. Surely Allah encompasses all their actions.

Lesson from the consequence of rejecting Allah
16.36
No doubt We raised in every nation a Rasool, saying: "Serve Allah and keep away from Taghut (Satanic forces)." After that, Allah guided some of them while deviation proved true against the others. So travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who denied Our Message.
-
Lesson from the example of the disbelieving generations of old
15.10
Certainly We sent Rasools before you among the early nations;
15.11
but whenever a Rasool came to them, they mocked him.
15.12
Thus do We let doubt creep into the hearts of the criminals;
15.13
that they do not believe in it (The Qur'an), despite the examples of the people who passed before them.
15.14
Even if we had opened a gate in Heaven and they ascend through it and keep on ascending,
15.15
still they would have said, 'Our eyes have been dazzled; rather we have been bewitched.'"
-
Lesson from the fate of the disbelieving generations of old
54.51
O disbelievers, We have already destroyed many like you. Will you not take admonition?
64.5
Have you not heard of those who disbelieved before you? So they tasted the evil result of their deeds, and in the Hereafter there shall be a painful punishment for them.
64.6
That is because, when their Rasools came to them with clear revelations, they said: "Are human beings going to guide us?" So they disbelieved and paid no heed. Allah has no need of such people. Allah is free of all needs, worthy of all praise.
-
Lesson from the generations of old who ridiculed prophets
43.6
And how many Prophets have We sent among the ancient peoples?
43.7
Never did it happen that a Prophet came to his people and they did not mock at him.
43.8
So We destroyed them, though they were stronger in power than these people, and provided an example in the case of prior people.
-
Lesson from the punishment given to the disbelieving generation of old
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.
-
Lesson from the sinful generations of old
40.21
Have they not travelled through the land and seen what was the end of those who have gone before them? They were far greater in power than these and left great traces in the land: but Allah seized them for their sins and there was none to protect them from Allah.
40.82
Have they never travelled through the earth and seen what was the end of those who have gone before them? They were more in number and superior in strength than these and they have left behind great traces of their power in the land; yet all that they did was of no avail to them.
40.83
When their Rasools came to them with clear revelations, they proudly boasted about their own knowledge; but the very forewarned scourge at which they mocked, hemmed them in.
40.84
When they saw Our scourge, they cried out: "We believe in Allah, the One and Only, and we reject all those gods whom we used to associate with Him."
40.85
But after seeing Our scourge, their professing the faith (Islam) was of no use to them; such was the practice of Allah in dealing with His servants in the past, and thus the disbelievers were lost.
50.36
How many generations, far stronger in power, have We destroyed before them! They searched the entire land: but could they find any refuge?
50.37
Surely in this there is a lesson for every person who has a heart, and can hear and witness.

Lesson from the wrong-doing generations of old

When you lived among those people who had wronged their souls, it was explained to you how We dealt with them and We even described for you their examples."

Lust as god, one's own

Have you ever seen the one who has taken his own desires as his god? Would you take the responsibility of guiding him?

Maqaam-e-Ibrahim as place of salaat
2.125
Remember when We made the House (the Ka'bah) a center and sanctuary for mankind saying, "Take the station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer;" We entrusted Ibrahim and Isma`il to cleanse Our House for those who walk around it, who meditate in it, and who kneel and prostrate in prayers.
-
Meal in the house of Muhammad(S)
33.53
O believers! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet without permission, nor stay waiting for meal time: but if you are invited to a meal, enter, and when you have eaten disperse and do not seek long conversation. Such behavior annoys the Prophet, he feels shy in asking you to leave, but Allah does not feel shy in telling the truth. If you have to ask his wives for anything, speak to them from behind a curtain. This is more chaste for your hearts and for theirs. It is not proper for you to annoy the Rasool of Allah, nor ever to marry his wives after him; this would be a grievous offence in the sight of Allah.
-
Midway course in Religion, a
4.150
Those who deny Allah and his Rasool and those who intend to draw a line between Allah and His Rasools saying: "We believe in some, and reject the rest" - desiring to take a middle way between belief and unbelief
4.151
- these are the real unbelievers and We have prepared for such unbelievers a humiliating punishment.
-
Muhammad(S) as friend
9.16
Do you think that you will be left alone (without trial)? While Allah has not yet demonstrated which of you had exerted your utmost struggle (in the path of Allah) and did not take any intimate friends other than Allah, His Rasool and the believers? Allah is well aware of all your actions.
-
Mushrikeen as prisoners
9.5
When the forbidden months (10,11,12 & 1 of the Islamic calendar) are over, then fight the mushrikïn wherever you find them, seize them, besiege them, and lie in ambush for them in every stratagem of war, but if they repent, establish Salah and pay Zakah, then let them go their way: surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
-
Non-Muslims as friends
3.118
O believers! Do not make intimate friendships with any but with your own people. The unbelievers will not miss any opportunity to corrupt you. They desire nothing but your destruction: their malice has become evident from what they say; and what they conceal in their hearts is far worse. We have made Our revelations plain to you, if you do want to comprehend.
3.119
Whereas you love them, they do not love you even though you believe in their Holy Books (the Psalms, the Torah, and the Gospels). When they meet you they say "We also believe in your prophet and your Qur'an;" but when they are alone they bite their fingertips in rage against you. Say to them: "May you perish in your rage;" surely Allah knows all the secrets of the heart.

Permission for marriage with captive girls
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.
-
Permission by servants and children in times of privacy, of
24.58
O believers! Let your servants and those children who have not yet attained puberty ask your permission before coming in to see you on three occasions: before Fajr Salah (dawn prayer), at noon when you put off your clothes, and after the Isha Salah (night prayer). These are your three times of privacy. At other times, there is no blame on you if you, or they, go around visiting one another. Thus Allah makes His revelations clear to you, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
-
Precautions in war against disbelievers
4.71
O believers! Prepare yourselves for encounter, then advance in detachments or all together as the occasion may require.
4.102
When you, O Muhammad, are with them, leading their Salah (prayer in the state of war), let one party of them stand up to pray with you, armed with their weapons. After they finish their prostrations, let them withdraw to the rear and let the other party who have not yet prayed come forward to pray with you; and let them also be on their guard, armed with their weapons. The unbelievers wish to see you neglect your arms and your baggage, so that they could suddenly attack to overpower you all in one stroke. However, there is no blame on you if you lay aside your arms because of heavy rain or because you are sick, but you should still be on your guard. Allah has prepared a humiliating punishment for the unbelievers.
-
Prophets as lords
3.80
He would never ask you to take angels and prophets as your lords. Would he ask you to become kafir (unbelievers) after you have become Muslims (believers)?
-
Protecting friends other than Allah
42.6
Those who take others as their guardians besides Him, Allah Himself is watching them; and O Prophet, you are not the disposer of their affairs.
42.9
Have they set up other guardians beside Him, while Allah Alone is the Guardian? It is He Who gives life to the dead and it is He Who has power over all things.
45.10
Beyond them there lies hell, and nothing of what they have earned in this world will be of any benefit to them, nor those whom they have taken as their protectors besides Allah, and they shall have grievous punishment.
-
Religion as a joke and pastime
6.70
Leave those people alone, who take their religion as mere play and amusement and are deceived by the life of this world. However, keep on admonishing them with this (The Qur'an), lest their souls be damned by their own sinful deeds. They will not have any protector or intercessor to rescue them from Allah, and if they seek to offer every imaginable ransom, it shall not be accepted from them. Such are those who are damned by their own sinful deeds. They will get boiling water to drink and painful torture for their rejection of the Truth.
7.50
Then the inmates of the fire will cry out to the residents of paradise: "Give us some water or some of the food which Allah has provided you." They will reply: "Allah has prohibited both of these things to the unbelievers,
7.51
who took their religion to be mere amusement and play and were deceived by their earthly life." Allah will say: "Today We will forget them as they forgot the meeting of this Day; and mocked at Our revelations."
-
Religion lightly, forsaking those taking
4.70
This is the real grace from Allah and sufficient is Allah's infinite knowledge.

Satan as comrade
4.36
Serve Allah and do not commit shirk (associate any partner) with Him, and be good to your parents, kinfolks, orphans, the helpless, near and far neighbors who keep company with you, the travellers in need, and the slaves you own. Allah does not love those who are arrogant and boastful,
4.37
who are themselves stingy and enjoin others to be stingy, who hide the bounties which Allah has bestowed on them. For such unbelievers We have prepared a disgraceful punishment.
4.38
Similarly, Allah does not like those who spend their wealth to show off to the people, believing neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. In fact the one who chooses Shaitan as his companion has chosen a very evil companion!
-
Satan as friend
4.117
The pagans call upon female deities beside Him; by doing so they call nothing but the rebellious Shaitan
4.118
on whom Allah has laid His curse; and who has said: "I will take a good portion of Your servants and mislead them.
4.119
I will create in them false desires and order them to slit the ears of cattle. I will order them to tamper with Allah's creation." Therefore, whoever takes Shaitan as a guardian instead of Allah, has indeed become a clear-cut loser.
4.120
Shaitan makes promises to stir up in them false desires; but Shaitan makes them promises only to deceive them.
4.121
The home of such people who follow him will be hell, from where they will find no way to escape.
16.63
By Allah! We sent Rasools before you (O Muhammad) to other nations; but shaitan made their deeds seem fair to them so they did not believe, he is their patron today, and they shall have a painful punishment.
16.100
His authority is only over those who befriend him and commit shirk by his temptation.
-
Satan and his progeny as protecting friends
18.50
When We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourself before Adam," all prostrated themselves except Iblees (Shaitan), who was one of the Jinns and chose to disobey the command of his Rabb. Would you then take him and his children as your protectors rather than Me, even though they are your enemies? What a bad substitute the wrongdoers have chosen!
-
Straight Path to Allah, the
73.19
Surely this is but a reminder, so let him who wills, take the Right way to His Rabb.
76.29
This is indeed an admonition, so let him who will, adopt The Way to his Rabb,
76.30
but you cannot will, except by the will of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Knowledgeable, All-Wise.

Two instead of One God

Allah has commanded: "You shall not worship two gods: there exists only One God, I am the One Whom you should fear."

Warning from Muhammad(S) by the People of the Scripture of
5.19
O people of the Book! Indeed Our Rasool has now come to you making clear to you the teaching of the Right Way, after a long break in the series of the Rasools, so that you may not be able to say, "No one has come to give us good news or to warn us." Now someone has come to give you good news and warn you so listen to him. Allah has power over everything.
-
Warning from the Quran
14.52
This is a proclamation for mankind: let them take warning therefrom; let them know that He is the One and Only - worthy of worship - and let the men of understanding learn a lesson.
-
Warning from the Revelations of Allah
7.146
I will turn away from My signs the eyes of those who are unjustly arrogant in the land, so that even if they see each and every sign they will not believe in it. If they see the Right Way before them they will not follow it; but if they see a crooked way they will follow it; this is because they denied Our revelations and were heedless of them.
-
Way by man for himself, of a

Have We not given him two eyes to observe?
90.9
One tongue and two lips to control it?
90.10
Then shown him the two high ways (good leading towards paradise and evil leading towards hell)?
90.11
Yet he does not attempt to tackle the Aqabah (steep path)!
-
Wives back after separation in order to harm them
2.231
When you divorce women and they have reached the end of their waiting period ('Iddat) either allow them to stay with honor or let them go with kindness; but you should not retain them to harm them or to take undue advantage; if anyone does that he wrongs his own soul. Do not take Allah's revelations as a joke. Remember the favors of Allah upon you and the fact that He sent down the Book and Wisdom for your guidance. Fear Allah and know that Allah has knowledge of everything.
