Neither yield to any mean oath-monger,
mischief making slanderer,
opponent of good, transgressor,
wicked oppressor, and above all, ignoble by birth,
though he be possessing wealth and children.
When Our revelations are recited to him , he says: "They arenothing but the tales of the ancient."
Soon We shall brand him on the snout.
Do not use Allah's name in your oaths as an excuse to prevent youfrom dealing justly, guarding against evil and making peacebetween people; Allah hears and knows everything.
Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and abstain from these things. Ifyou do not, then you should know that Our Rasool's duty is onlyto pass on My message clearly.
O believers! Do not take oaths to deceive each other, lest yourfoot slip after being firmly fixed upon guidance; and taste theevil consequences for debarring others from the Way of Allah andincur a mighty punishment.
They solemnly swear by Allah that if you command them, they willgo forth leaving their homes. O Muhammad tell them: "Do notswear; your obedience not your oaths will count; surely Allah isfully aware of what you do."
Neither yield to any mean oath-monger,
Fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have pledged to do so, anddo not break your oaths after you have sworn them; for swearingin His name you have made Allah your surety; surely Allah hasknowledge of all your actions.
Do not behave like that woman who had spun her yarn strongly andthen had herself broken it into pieces; nor take your oaths formutual deceit so that one people may take undue advantage overthe other, for Allah puts you to trial by these oaths; and on theDay of Judgment He will certainly reveal to you the truth aboutwhich you differed.
Surely those who swore allegiance to you O Prophet, indeed sworeallegiance to Allah Himself. The Hand of Allah was above theirhands. Now, the one who will break his pledge, will break it athis own peril, and the one who will keep his pledge that he hasmade with Allah, shall soon be given a great rewarded by Him.
Allah will not call you to account for what is inadvertent inyour oaths. But He will hold you accountable for that which yousolemnly swear. The penalty for a broken oath is to feed tenindigent persons with such food as you normally provide to yourown family, or to clothe ten needy people, or to free one slave.The one who cannot afford any of these must fast three days. Thisis the expiation for breaking your oaths. Therefore, be mindfulof your oaths. Thus Allah makes clear to you His revelations thatyou may be thankful.

Allah will not hold you accountable for what is inadvertent inyour oaths, but He will hold you accountable for what youintended in your hearts; Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.

Obey Allah and His Rasool so that you may find mercy.
O believers! Obey Allah, obey the Rasool and those charged withauthority among you. Should you have a dispute in anything, referit to Allah and His Rasool, if you truly believe in Allah and theLast Day. This course of action will be better and more suitable.
We did not send any Rasool but to be obeyed by Allah's leave. Ifthey would have come to you when they had wronged themselves toseek Allah's forgiveness and if the Rasool had also asked Allah'sforgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Forgiving,Merciful.
If We had commanded them to sacrifice their lives or to leavetheir homes, very few of them would have done it. Yet, if theywould have done what they were commanded to do, it would havebeen better for them; not only would their faith have beenstrengthened,
Anyone who obeys the Rasool, in fact, obeys Allah. As for thosewho pay no heed, they should know that We have not sent you as ataskmaster over them.
O believers! Do not kill game while you are in Ihram (pilgrimgarb). If anyone kills game intentionally, he will have to pay apenalty through an offering brought to the Ka'bah of a domesticanimal equivalent to the one which was killed as determined bytwo just men among you; or as an expiation, either feed a fewindigent or fast their equivalent days, so that he may taste theevil consequences of what he did. Allah has forgiven whathappened in the past; but if anyone repeats it now, Allah willinflict retribution on him. Allah is Mighty, Capable ofRetribution.
O believers! Obey Allah and his Rasool and do not turn your backto him, now that you have heard all.
What reason do we have not to put our trust in Allah, when He hasalready guided us to the ways of our lives? We shall certainlyendure your persecution patiently, and those who want to puttheir trust, should put their trust in Allah."
The response of the true believers, when they are called to Allahand His Rasool that he may judge between them, is only to say:"We hear and we obey." Such are the ones who will attainfelicity.
O believers! Obey Allah and obey His Rasool, and do not let yourdeeds come to nothing.
No affliction can ever befall except by the leave of Allah. Hethat believes in Allah, his heart is guided to the Right Way.Allah has knowledge of all things.
O wives of the Prophet! If any of you were guilty of openindecency, her punishment will be increased to double and this iseasy for Allah.
JUZ (PART): 22 Those of you (O wives of the Prophet Muhammad)who obey Allah and His Rasool and practice righteousness, shallbe granted double reward, and for them We have prepared agenerous provision.
O wives of the Prophet! You are not like the other women: if youfear Allah, then you should not be complaisant while talking tothe men who are not closely related to you, lest the one in whoseheart is a disease may thereby be encouraged, and speak usingsuitable good words.
Stay in your homes and do not display your finery as women usedto do in the days of ignorance (pre-Islamic days); establishSalah, pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His Rasool. O women of thehousehold of Rasool, Allah only intends to remove uncleanlinessfrom you and to purify you completely.

On their tongues is the promise of obedience and good talk, so ifthey would have proved their promise with Allah when the finalcommand was given, it would have been better for them.
Now what can be expected of you if you are put in authority,other than to do evil in the land and violate the ties of blood.
Such are those whom Allah has cursed and made them deaf andblinded their sight.
Will they not ponder upon the Qur'an? Are there locks upon theirhearts?
O believers! If you yield to the unbelievers they will drag youback to unbelief and you will become the losers.
therefore, do not yield to the unbelievers, and make Jihad(strive) against them with this Qur'an, a mighty Jihad (strenuousstriving).
So do not yield to the unbelievers.
They desire you to compromise a little, so they too wouldcompromise.

That Day, when their faces will roll about in the fire, they willsay: "Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed theRasool."
They will further say: "Our Rabb! We obeyed our chiefs and ourgreat ones and they misled us from the Right Way.
Our Rabb! Give them double punishment and lay on them a mightycurse."
therefore, await with patience the command of your Rabb and donot yield to any sinner or disbeliever from among theunbelievers.
Do not eat of that meat on which Allah's name has not beenpronounced, since that is most surely a transgression. In factthe shaitans inspire their friends that they should argue withyou, and if you obey them, most surely you will be considered amushrik.
Nay! Do not obey him! Prostrate yourself and bring yourselfcloser to your Rabb.

Keep yourself content with those who call on their Rabb morning and evening seeking His good pleasure; and let not your eyes turn away from them desiring the attraction of Worldly Life; nor obey the one whose heart We have permitted to neglect Our remembrance, who follows his own desires and goes to extremes in the conduct of his affairs.
Men are overseers over women because Allah has given the one morestrength than other, and because men are required to spend theirwealth for the maintenance of women. Honorable women are,therefore, devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absencewhat Allah require them to guard their husband's property andtheir own honor. As to those women from whom you feardisobedience, first admonish them, then refuse to share your bedwith them, and then, if necessary, beat them. Then if they obeyyou, take no further actions against them and do not make excusesto punish them. Allah is Supremely Great and is aware of youractions.

Also tell them, "Obey Allah and His Rasool." Inspite of this, ifthey turn back then warn them, that Allah does not love thedisobedient.
Obey Allah and His Rasool so that you may find mercy.
These are the limits set by Allah: those who obey Allah and HisRasool will be admitted to paradise, in which rivers flow, tolive therein forever, and that is the Great Achievement.

We did not send any Rasool but to be obeyed by Allah's leave. Ifthey would have come to you when they had wronged themselves toseek Allah's forgiveness and if the Rasool had also asked Allah'sforgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Forgiving,Merciful.
Whosoever obeys Allah and the Rasool will be in the company ofthose whom Allah has blessed - the Prophets, the truthful, themartyrs, and the righteous: What excellent companions they willbe!
Anyone who obeys the Rasool, in fact, obeys Allah. As for thosewho pay no heed, they should know that We have not sent you as ataskmaster over them.

They ask you about booty (spoils of war). Tell them: "The Bootybelongs to Allah and His Rasool: so fear Allah, end yourdisputes, and correct the relations between yourselves: obeyAllah and His Rasool if you are true believers."
O believers! Obey Allah and his Rasool and do not turn your backto him, now that you have heard all.
Obey Allah and His Rasool and do not argue with one another, lestyou lose courage and weaken your strength. Show patience, surelyAllah is on the side of the patient.
The true believers, both men and women, are protectors of oneanother. They enjoin what is just and forbid what is evil; theyestablish Salah, pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His Rasool. It isthey on whom Allah will have His mercy; surely Allah is Mighty,Wise.
Only those who obey Allah and His Rasool, have fear of Allah anddo good deeds, are the ones who will be the winners.

That Day, when their faces will roll about in the fire, they willsay: "Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed theRasool."
They will further say: "Our Rabb! We obeyed our chiefs and ourgreat ones and they misled us from the Right Way.
Our Rabb! Give them double punishment and lay on them a mightycurse."
He will bless your works and forgive your sins - for he thatobeys Allah and His Rasool, has indeed achieved the highestachievement.
O believers! Obey Allah and obey His Rasool, and do not let yourdeeds come to nothing.
Tell the beduin Arabs who stayed behind: "You shall soon becalled upon to fight against a mighty people then either you willfight or they will embrace Islam. Then if you obey, Allah willgrant you a good reward, but if you turn away as you have donebefore, He will inflict on you a painful penalty."
There is no blame on the blind, the lame, and the sick if theystay behind. He that obeys Allah and His Rasool shall be admittedto gardens beneath which the rivers flow, and he that turns awayshall be punished with a painful punishment.
The beduin Arabs say: "We have believed." Tell them: "You havenot believed; rather say 'We have become Muslims;' for faith hasnot yet found its way into your hearts. If you obey Allah and HisRasool, He will not deny you the reward of your deeds; surelyAllah is Forgiving, Merciful."
Do you hesitate to give out in charity before your privateconsultation with him? If you cannot afford it - Allah willforgive you - so establish Salah and pay Zakah, and obey Allahand His Rasool. Allah is well aware of all your actions.
Obey Allah and obey His Rasool; but if you pay no heed, then youshould know that Our Rasool's responsibility is nothing but toconvey the message plainly.

Once the matter has been decided, Shaitan will say: "In fact, thepromises which Allah made to you were all true; I too made somepromises to you but failed to keep any of them. However, I had nopower over you. I just invited you, and you accepted myinvitation. Now! Do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannothelp you, nor you can help me. I reject what you did before; thatyou associated me with Allah. Certainly such wrongdoers will havepainful punishment."

O believers! Fulfil your contract obligations. Allfour-legged animals from livestock are lawful to you other thanthose which are hereby announced. However do not violate theprohibition of hunting while you are in Ihram (Hajj dress).Indeed Allah orders whatever He pleases.
Except (this proclamation does not apply to) those mushrikin whohonored their treaties with you in every detail and aided noneagainst you. So fulfill your treaties with them to the end oftheir term; for Allah loves the righteous.
A declaration of immunity from Allah and His Rasool is herebymade to those of the mushrikin with whom you have made a treaty:
"You have four months to go around in the land unmolested; butyou should know that you cannot frustrate the will of Allah, andthat Allah will humiliate the unbelievers."
This is a public proclamation from Allah and His Rasool to thepeople on the day of the Great Hajj (Pilgrimage) that Allah andHis Rasool do hereby dissolve treaty obligations with themushrikin. Therefore, if you repent, it will be better for youbut if you turn away, then you should know that you cannotfrustrate the Will of Allah. O Prophet, proclaim a painfulpunishment to those who are unbelievers.
Except (this proclamation does not apply to) those mushrikin whohonored their treaties with you in every detail and aided noneagainst you. So fulfill your treaties with them to the end oftheir term; for Allah loves the righteous.
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.
How can there be a treaty with the mushrikin on the part of Allahand His Rasool - except for those with whom you ratified a treatyat the Masjid-al-Haram? So long as they honor it, you also honor:for Allah loves the righteous.
How can you trust them? If they prevail against you, they respectneither treaty nor ties of relationship. They just flatter youwith their tongues, but their hearts reject you, and most of themare transgressors.
They have sold the revelations of Allah for paltry worldly gainand they have hindered others from His way; indeed evil are thedeeds that they have done.
They neither honor the ties of relationship nor observe theobligations of treaties with the believers; it is they who arethe transgressors.
However, if they repent, establish Salah and pay Zakah, then theyshall be your brethren in Deen (faith and way of life based onDivine guidance): thus do We spell out Our revelations for peopleof understanding.
But if they violate their treaty once they have sworn it andinsult your Deen, then fight with the ringleaders of the unbelief- for their oaths are nothing to them - so that they may bestopped.
Will you not fight against those people who have broken theiroaths, conspired to expel the Rasool and were the first to attackyou? Do you fear them? Nay, it is Allah Who is more deserving ofyour fear, if you are true believers.
Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and humiliatethem. He will grant you victory over them and soothe the heartsof a believing people.
O believers! Fulfil your contract obligations. Allfour-legged animals from livestock are lawful to you other thanthose which are hereby announced. However do not violate theprohibition of hunting while you are in Ihram (Hajj dress).Indeed Allah orders whatever He pleases.
O Prophet! Enjoin your wives, daughters and the believing womenthat they should draw their outer garments over their persons.That is more proper, so that they may be recognized and notbothered. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
O believers! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet withoutpermission, nor stay waiting for meal time: but if you areinvited to a meal, enter, and when you have eaten disperse and donot seek long conversation. Such behavior annoys the Prophet, hefeels shy in asking you to leave, but Allah does not feel shy intelling the truth. If you have to ask his wives for anything,speak to them from behind a curtain. This is more chaste for yourhearts and for theirs. It is not proper for you to annoy theRasool of Allah, nor ever to marry his wives after him; thiswould be a grievous offence in the sight of Allah.
If they would have observed the Laws of Taurat and the Injeel(Gospel) and other Revelations which were sent to them from theirRabb, they would have certainly enjoyed abundance from above andfrom beneath. Though there are some among them on the moderatecourse; but most of them do nothing but evil.
O Rasool! Deliver the message which has been revealed to you fromyour Rabb, and if you do not, you are not doing justice to yourmission. Allah will protect you from the mischief of the people.Rest assured that Allah will not let the unbelievers succeedagainst you.
Tell them: O people of the Book! You have no ground to stand onunless you observe the Taurat (Torah), Injeel (Gospel) and otherrevelations that have come to you from your Rabb. This revelation(The Qur'an) which has come to you from your Rabb will surelyincrease the rebellion and disbelief of many of them but youshould not grieve for the disbelievers.
The number of months ordained by Allah is twelve in the Book ofAllah since the day He created the heavens and the earth. Ofthese, four are sacred; that is the established principle ofDeen. Therefore, do not wrong yourselves by violating them. Butyou may fight against the mushrikin in all these months if theyfight against you in all of them. Know that Allah is with therighteous.
O believers! Do not offer your Salah when you are drunk until youknow what you are saying; nor after seminal emission, except whenyou are travelling, unless you wash your whole body. If you aresick, or on a journey, or one of you has used the toilet, or hashad contact with women (sexual relation with wives) and can findno water, then make Tayammum: take some clean earth and rub yourfaces and hands with it. Allah is Lenient, Forgiving.

O Prophet! Fear Allah and do not obey the unbelievers and thehypocrites: certainly Allah is aware and wise.
Hajj is in the well known months. He who undertakes to perform itmust abstain from husband-wife relationship, obscene language,and wrangling during Hajj. Whatever good you do, Allah knows it.Take necessary provisions with you for the journey, and piety isthe best provision of all. Fear Me, O people endowed withunderstanding.
There is no blame on the ladies if they appear before theirfathers, their sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, theirsisters' sons, their familiar women and those whom their righthands possess (slaves). O Ladies! Have fear of Allah: for Allahis a witness to all things.
Complete the Hajj (obligatory pilgrimage to Makkah) and the Umrah(optional visit to Makkah) for the sake of Allah. If you areprevented from proceeding then send such offering for sacrificeas you can afford and do not shave your head until the offeringshave reached their destination. But if any of you is ill or hasan ailment in his scalp which necessitates shaving, he must payransom either by fasting or feeding the poor or offering asacrifice. If in peacetime anyone wants to take the advantage ofperforming Umrah and Hajj together, he should make an offeringwhich he can afford; but if he lack the means, let him fast threedays during the Hajj and seven days on his return making ten daysin all. This order is for the one whose household is not in theprecincts of the Sacred Mosque. Fear Allah and know that Allah isstrict in retribution.
Yet they make the Jinns (Genies: creature which has been createdout of fire) as the partners with Allah, whereas He is theirCreator; and also ascribe to Him sons and daughters withouthaving any knowledge. Glory to Him! He is highly exalted farabove what they ascribe.
He is the creator of the heavens and the earth. How could He havea son when He has no consort? He has created everything and isaware of everything.
Inspite of receiving that message, they still say: "TheBeneficent (Allah) has offspring!" Glory be to Him! The angelsare but His honored servants.
They do not precede Him in speaking and they act according to Hiscommandment.
He knows what is before them and what is behind them and they donot intercede except for the one whom He approves, and for fearof Him they tremble.
If any of them were to say: "I am also a deity besides Him," Wewould send him to hell, thus shall We reward the wrongdoers.
Just ask the unbelievers: Does it make any sense that their Rabbshould have daughters while they choose to have sons?
Or is it that We created the angels as females and they werepresent at their creation?
Surely they invent a lie when they say:
"Allah has children. They are utter liars."
Would He choose daughters rather than sons?
What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
Will you not take heed?
Or do you have any proof of what you are saying?
Show us your scriptures if you are truthful!
Is He to have daughters and you sons?
But when He gives them a healthy child they both began toassociate partners with Him in what He has given them; but Allahis exalted far above the shirk they commit of associating otherdeities with Him as His partners.
Do they associate with Him those deities who can create nothingbut are themselves created,
Let those women, during their waiting period ('Iddat), live whereyou yourselves live according to your means. You shall not harassthem so as to make life intolerable for them. If they arepregnant, maintain them until their delivery: and if, after that,they suckle your offspring, compensate them and settle the matterof compensation with mutual consultation and in all fairness. Butif you cannot bear with each other then let another woman sucklethe baby for you.
Let the rich man give according to his means, and the poor mangive according to what Allah has given him. Allah does not chargea man with more than He has given him; soon Allah may bring easeafter hardship.

Whenever the news of a female child is announced to any one ofthem, his face darkens and he chokes with inward gloom.
He hides himself from his people because of the bad news he hasheard, asking himself whether he should retain her with disgraceor bury her in the dust. Beware! Evil is the judgement they makeabout Allah.
when the infant girls buried alive (here reference is made to thePre-Islamic Arab custom of burying new born girls alive) will bequestioned
for what sin she was killed;
Who pray: "Our Rabb! Make our wives and our children to be thecomfort of our eyes, and make us leaders of the righteous."
But those who rebukes his parents and say: "Uff (as if to say, donot bothering me)! Do you threaten me with a resurrection,whereas many a generations have passed before me and none hascome back from among them?" And they both cry for Allah's helpand say: "Woe to you! Be a good believer. Surely the promise ofAllah is true." But he replies: "This is nothing but tales of theancients."
Such are the people against whom the verdict of torment hasproved true and they will be among the prior people of the jinnsand the men that have passed away before them. Indeed they willbe the losers.
On the Day of Resurrection, neither your relatives nor yourchildren shall avail you. Allah will judge between you, and He isobserving all your actions.
You have an excellent example in Ibrahim (Abraham) and hiscompanions. They said to their people plainly: "We are clear ofyou and your gods, whom you worship besides Allah. We renounceyou. Enmity and hate shall reign between us forever until youbelieve in Allah, the One and Only God." But do not emulate whatIbrahim 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 ourtrust, to You we turn in repentance and to You is our final goal.
Our Rabb! Do not expose us to the plots of the unbelievers.Forgive us, our Rabb! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
Truly, in those there is an excellent example for everyone whoputs their hopes in Allah and the Last Day. He that gives no heedshould know that Allah is free of all wants, worthy of allpraise.
The life of men when they get to the age of puberty is tempted bydesire for women when they get married children, when they getchildren the hoarding of treasures of gold and silver, splendidhorses, cattle, and plantations. These are the comforts for thetransitory life of this world; the everlasting best comfort,however, is with Allah.
Say : "Shall I tell you of better things than these, with whichthe righteous will be rewarded by their Rabb? There will begardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will live foreverwith spouses of perfect chastity and the good pleasure of Allah.Allah is watching His servants very closely."
We have enjoined man to treat his parents with kindness. Withmuch trouble his mother bore him, and much pain did she give himbirth. His bearing and his weaning took thirty months. When hereaches the age of full strength and becomes forty years old, hesays: "My Rabb! Grant me the grace that I may thank you for thefavors which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and thatI may do good deeds that will please You, and grant me goodchildren. Surely I turn to You in repentance and surely I am ofthose who are Muslims."

Let those women, during their waiting period ('Iddat), live whereyou yourselves live according to your means. You shall not harassthem so as to make life intolerable for them. If they arepregnant, maintain them until their delivery: and if, after that,they suckle your offspring, compensate them and settle the matterof compensation with mutual consultation and in all fairness. Butif you cannot bear with each other then let another woman sucklethe baby for you.
Let the rich man give according to his means, and the poor mangive according to what Allah has given him. Allah does not chargea man with more than He has given him; soon Allah may bring easeafter hardship.

Your God is one God; there is no one worthy of worship exceptHim, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Allah! There is no god but Him; the Living, the Eternal.
It is He Who shapes your bodies in the wombs of your mothers asHe pleases. There is no god but Him; the Mighty, the Wise.
Allah Himself has testified to the fact that there is no god butHim and so do the angels and those who are well grounded inknowledge standing firm on justice. There is no Ilah (God) exceptHim, the Mighty, the Wise.

O People of the Book! Do not transgress the limits of yourreligion. Speak nothing but the Truth about Allah. The Messiah,Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary) was no more than a Rasool ofAllah and His Word "Be" which He bestowed on Maryam and a Spiritfrom Him which took the shape of a child in her womb. So believein Allah and His Rasools and do not say: "Trinity"." Stop sayingthat, it is better for you. Allah is only One Deity. He is farabove from the need of having a son! To Him belongs all that isin the heavens and in the Earth. Allah Alone is sufficient forprotection.
Certainly they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is Christ the sonof Maryam (Mary)." While Christ himself said: "O children ofIsrael! Worship Allah, my Rabb and your Rabb." Whoever commitsshirk (joins partners with Allah), Allah will deny him theparadise, and the hellfire will be his home. There will be nohelper for the wrongdoers.
Certainly they are unbelievers who say: "Allah is one of three ina Trinity." There is no god except One Allah. If they do not stopsaying what they say, a painful punishment will befall thedisbelievers among them.
That is Allah your Rabb! There is no god but Him, the creator ofeverything. Therefore, worship Him, He is the Guardian ofeverything.
Follow what is revealed to you from your Rabb, there is no godbut Him and turn aside from the mushrikin.

Therefore, believe in Allah and His Rasool, the unletteredProphet (Muhammad) who believes in Allah and His Word. Follow himso that you may be rightly guided."
They (Jews and Christians) have taken their rabbis and priests tobe their Lords beside Allah and so they did with Messiah (Jesus)the son of Maryam (Mary), although they were commanded in theTorah and the Gospel to worship none but One Ilah (Allah);besides Whom there is none worthy of worship. Exalted be He abovethose whom they associate with Him.
They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouthsbut Allah will not allow it to happen, for He seeks to perfectHis light even though the disbelievers may dislike it.
Do they say: "He has made up the Qur'an himself." Say to them:"Make up ten Surahs like this and call to your aid whomsoever youcan, including your gods whom you worship, besides Allah if whatyou say is true.
But if those gods fail to answer you, then you should know that(they are false gods and that) this (Book) is revealed with theknowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but Him! Will youthen become Muslims?"
Ask them: "Who is the Rabb of the heavens and the earth?" If theyhesitate to respond, say: "Allah." Then ask them: "When this isthe fact, why do you take other deities, besides Him, who do notcontrol any benefit or harm even to themselves, as yourprotectors?" Say: "Are the blind and the seeing equal? Or can thedarkness and light be equal?" If that is not so, then, have theirshoraka' (other deities they worship) created any thing like Hiscreation which has made the matter of creation doubtful for them?Say: "Allah Alone is the Creator of everything and He is the One,the Irresistible."
O Muhammad! We have sent you among a nation before whom othernations have passed away; so that you may recite to them Ourrevelations which We have sent down to you; yet they arerejecting the Compassionate (Allah). Say: "He is my Rabb! Thereis no god but Him. In Him I have put my trust and to Him shall Ireturn."

He sends down His angels with inspiration of His Command to whomHe pleases of His servants, saying: "Warn the people that thereis no one else worthy of worship except Me, therefore fear Me."
Your God is One God; as for those who do not believe in thehereafter, they have faithless hearts and are puffed up witharrogance.
Allah has commanded: "You shall not worship two gods: thereexists only One God, I am the One Whom you should fear."
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth and HisDeen (laws or ways of life) is followed in the universe - wouldyou then fear any one other than Allah?
Whatever blessings you enjoy are from Allah, and when touched bydistress, He is the One to Whom you cry for help.
Yet no sooner does He relieve you from the distress than some ofyou begin to associate others with Him,
as if to show their ingratitude for the favors that We bestow onthem! Enjoy yourselves; soon you will come to know theconsequences.
O Muhammad, tell them: "I am but a human being like you; the revelation is sent to me to declare that your God is One God; therefore, whoever hopes to meet his Rabb, let him do good deeds and join no other deity in the worship of his Rabb."
He is Allah! There is no deity worthy of worship except Him! ToHim belong the most beautiful Names.

For every nation We prescribed a way of sacrifice so that theymay pronounce the name of Allah over the cattle which He hasgiven them for food, but the object is one and the same: toremember that your God is one God; so submit yourselves to Him asa Muslim, and O Prophet, give good news to the humble,
Therefore, exalted be Allah, the Real King; there is no god butHim, the Lord of the Honorable Throne.
Whoever invokes another god besides Allah - about whose divinityhe has no proof -he will have to give an account to his Rabb.Surely such unbelievers will never attain salvation.
He is the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and theearth, has begotten no son and has no partner in His kingdom; Hehas created everything and ordained them in due proportions.
Is not He (Allah), Who has created the heavens and the earth,sends down rain from the sky and with it brings forth thebeautiful gardens not better than the false gods that theyworship? It is not in your ability to cause the growth of treesfor those gardens. Is there another god besides Allah who coulddo that? No doubt they are a people who have swerved from justicein ascribing equals to Him.
Just think who has made the earth a place for your residence,caused in it the rivers to flow, set mountains upon it and placeda barrier between the two seas? Is there another god besidesAllah? Nay, most of them have no knowledge.

Do not argue with the People of the Book except in good taste -except with those who are wicked among them - and say: "Webelieve in that which is sent down to us and that which is sentdown to you; Our God and your God is the same One God to Whom wesubmit as Muslims."
Do you not see that Allah causes the night to pass into the dayand the day into the night, that He has subjected the sun and themoon to follow His law, each pursuing its course for an appointedterm, and that Allah is well aware of all your actions?
This is because Allah is the only Reality and because all thoseto whom the people invoke besides Him, are false, and becauseAllah is the One Who is the Most High, the Great.
Yet the unbelievers have taken besides Him other gods which cancreate nothing but are themselves created, which can neither harmnor help even themselves, and which have no power over life ordeath, or raising the dead to life.
that surely your God is One,
the Rabb of the heavens and of the earth and all that liesbetween them, and the Rabb of the easts (every point and place atthe rising of the sun).
O Prophet, tell them: "My mission is only as a Warner; there isno divinity except Allah, the One, the Irresistible,
If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen anyoneHe pleased out of His creation: Glory be to Him! (He is abovesuch things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.
He created you all from a single person, then from that person Hecreated his mate. He also created for you eight head of cattle inpairs. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers in stages, oneafter another, in three layers of darkness. This is Allah, yourRabb. To Him belongs the sovereignty.

These people will never refrain from wrongdoing until when deathcomes to anyone of them, he will say: "O Rabb! Send me back,
so that I may do good deeds in the world that I have leftbehind." Never! This is just a statement which carries no value,it will be too late because there will be a barrier between themand the world they have just left till the Day they are raised tolife again.
