Mike Ghouse, December 21, 2007
There is a group called Muslims against Sharia with the slogan Islamic reform movement, seeking to take their movement forward and are in the process of publishing a reformed Quraan. They believe that The verses in Qur'aan promote divisiveness and religious hatred, bigotry and discrimination and as such they must be either removed from the Koran or declared outdated and invalid, and marked as such. Like many other Muslims, I was asked to review if we can remove additional verses on top of the nearly 300 verses. Most of the verses provided in the link http://www.reformislam.org/verses.php reflect a common theme; Punishment. I am pleased to render my opinion on this point. I believe that reforms must be applied to our understanding, rather than removing the words of God. They are welcome to call the new book any name they wish, but not Quraan. It will not be the same book.
Qur'aan certainly talks about punishment and hell fire for those who violate the rules of a smooth functioning society. If there were no punishment chaos will be the order of the day.
One can find punitive verses in every holy book. However, the critical elements these reformists overlooked are the most powerful and dominant aspect of the creator; merciful, kind and dispenser of grace. This verse is repeated 113 times in Quraan, more than any other verse. It is the punitive verses that drive the self proclaimed reformists to discard them.
For societies to function on equilibrium there must be law and order. When there is justice in a society, peace is a natural outcome. The Criminal and Civil laws are designed to bring net-peace to the society. For every violation of a rule, punishment is determined. If there were no punishment, then crimes go un-checked creating chaos in the society. If every one drove 60 MPH in a school zone without any consequence to it, you and I may not have been alive to read this.
God is a loving God and wants us to get along with each other. He has given us the guidance as well as the temptations and the freedom to choose the right from the wrong and live in peace or go the wrong way and regret it. Ultimately, it is God's grace that brings justice to an individual and the society based on ones Karma.
The law of Karma is the simplest formula to understand. Every child is born with a clean balanced spiritual slate. As the child grows, that fine balance is altered every moment with his deeds. A positive balance indicates a happy and serene life where as the negative balance indicates the opposite. Ultimately something dramatic has to happen to restore the negative balance and it can be achieved through repentance, apology or punishment, all are Gods formulae in every practicing faith. God's justice ultimately prevails with his (her or it) grace.
Let's pick the first one of the three hundred plus verses the reformists want to remove, 1.6: The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray."
From a common mans perspective, the word wrath appears to be cruelty coming from a kind God. Well, then what should hold any one from murdering and butchering the other. If you are a good guy who holds the temptations to steal someone else's hard earned goods, and the bad guys steal with no consequences to it, then every one may resort to stealing. What will happen to a society when every one is stealing, lying or cheating? No one would trust and everyone is frightened of the other.
Imagine the nightmare in America, if we were to remove the punishment aspect from the US Constitution, our civil and criminal laws.
We know that God is just and his goal is peace to his creation at large, indeed his jurisdiction is the universe and beyond infinity. Qur'an, Al-Hujurat, Surah 49:13: "O mankind! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. The noblest of you, in sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Allah Knows and is Aware."
God is aware of our conduct and understands our temptations, he is closer to us than our jugular veins says the Quraan -50:16 It was We Who created man, and we know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for we are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. A few theologians say, we are Gods representation and he is very close to us, indeed we are his manifestation, and are created in his image. God understands our intent before it becomes a thought and before it leads one to act.
Those who do not believe in God, at least they can follow the guidelines in the law books of civic society provided the books are an expression of the collective wisdom of the society and not a dictators law or law of the few. It is naοve and immature to think that Gods laws are whimsical.
Indeed, it is our comprehension that is limited and we see what is good for us for that moment, where as the creator has the whole planet and its habitants to take care of. It is his creation and he knows best.
Removal of any verses from the Qur'aan is motivated by short term appeasement to someone for some gains or saving their tail for that moment. Instead I suggest the men and women study the impact of such removal and the consequences that ensue. The wrongs of some individuals or Islamic societies should not be ascribed to Quraan; rather it is their mis-understanding of the Qur'aan that led them to do wrong.
In the interests of peaceful co-existence, there is no doubt about reforming our understanding of Qur'aan, and there is no resistance to it either. Please retain the integrity of Gods words and do not attempt to change or remove them. God is indeed kind, just and graceful.

The verses ________________
1.6: The path of those upon whom
Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon
whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go
astray.
2.19: Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is
utter darkness and thunder and lightning; they put their
fingers into their ears because of the thunder peal, for
fear of death, and Allah encompasses the unbelievers.
2.24: But if you do (it) not and never shall you do
(it), then be on your guard against the fire of which
men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the
unbelievers.
2.34: And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance
to Adam they did obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He
refused and he was proud, and he was one of the
unbelievers.
2.39: And (as to) those who disbelieve in and reject
My communications, they are the inmates of the fire, in
it they shall abide.
2.88: And they say: Our hearts are covered. Nay, Allah
has cursed them on account of their unbelief; so little
it is that they believe.
2.89: And when there came to them a Book from Allah
verifying that which they have, and aforetime they used
to pray for victory against those who disbelieve, but
when there came to them (Prophet) that which they did
not recognize, they disbelieved in him; so Allah's curse
is on the unbelievers.
2.90: Evil is that for which they have sold their
souls that they should deny what Allah has revealed, out
of envy that Allah should send down of His grace on
whomsoever of His servants He pleases; so they have made
themselves deserving of wrath upon wrath, and there is a
disgraceful punishment for the unbelievers.
2.93: And when We made a covenant with you and raised
the mountain over you: Take hold of what We have given
you with firmness and be obedient. They said: We hear
and disobey. And they were made to imbibe (the love of)
the calf into their hearts on account of their unbelief
Say: Evil is that which your belief bids you if you are
believers.
2.96: And you will most certainly find them the
greediest of men for life (greedier) than even those who
are polytheists; every one of them loves that he should
be granted a life of a thousand years, and his being
granted a long life will in no way remove him further
off from the chastisement, and Allah sees what they
2.98: Whoever is the enemy of Allah and His angels and
His apostles and Jibreel and Meekaeel, so surely Allah
is the enemy of the unbelievers.
2.99: And certainly We have revealed to you clear
communications and none disbelieve in them except the
transgressors.
2.100: What! whenever they make a covenant, a party of
them cast it aside? Nay, most of them do not believe.
2.101: And when there came to them an Apostle from
Allah verifying that which they have, a party of those
who were given the Book threw the Book of Allah behind
their backs as if they knew nothing.
2.102: And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of
sorcery in the reign of Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not
an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved, they taught
men sorcery and that was sent down to the two angels at
Babel, Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man
until they had said, Surely we are only a trial,
therefore do not be a disbeliever. Even then men learned
from these two, magic by which they might cause a
separation between a man and his wife; and they cannot
hurt with it any one except with Allah's permission, and
they learned what harmed them and did not profit them,
and certainly they know that he who bought it should
have no share of good in the hereafter and evil was the
price for which they sold their souls, had they but
known this.
2.103: And if they had believed and guarded themselves
(against evil), reward from Allah would certainly have
been better; had they but known (this).
2.104: O you who believe! do not say Raina and say
Unzurna and listen, and for the unbelievers there is a
painful chastisement.
2.105: Those who disbelieve from among the followers
of the Book do not like, nor do the polytheists, that
the good should be sent down to you from your Lord, and
Allah chooses especially whom He pleases for His mercy,
and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
2.109: Many of the followers of the Book wish that
they could turn you back into unbelievers after your
faith, out of envy from themselves, (even) after the
truth has become manifest to them; but pardon and
forgive, so that Allah should bring about His command;
surely Allah has power over all things.
2.113: And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow
anything (good) and the Christians say: The Jews do not
follow anything (good) while they recite the (same)
Book. Even thus say those who have no knowledge, like to
what they say; so Allah shall judge between them on the
day of resurrection in what they differ.
2.114: And who is more unjust than he who prevents
(men) from the masjids of Allah, that His name should be
remembered in them, and strives to ruin them? (As for)
these, it was not proper for them that they should have
entered them except in fear; they shall meet with
disgrace in this world, and they shall have great
chastisement in the hereafter.
2.120: And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor
the Christians until you follow their religion. Say:
Surely Allah's guidance, that is the (true) guidance.
And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that
has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah,
nor any helper.
2.135: And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will
be on the right course. Say: Nay! (we follow) the
religion of Ibrahim, the Hanif, and he was not one of
the polytheists.
2.140: Nay! do you say that Ibrahim and Ismail and
Yaqoub and the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Are
you better knowing or Allah? And who is more unjust than
he who conceals a testimony that he has from Allah? And
Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
2.161: Surely those who disbelieve and die while they
are disbelievers, these it is on whom is the curse of
Allah and the angels and men all;
2.162: Abiding in it; their chastisement shall not be
lightened nor shall they be given respite.
2.178: O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed
for you in the matter of the slain, the free for the
free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for
the female, but if any remission is made to any one by
his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for the
bloodwit) should be made according to usage, and payment
should be made to him in a good manner; this is an
alleviation from your Lord and a mercy; so whoever
exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful
chastisement.
2.191: And kill them wherever you find them, and drive
them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution
is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at
the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but
if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the
recompense of the unbelievers.
2.217: They ask you concerning the sacred month about
fighting in it. Say: Fighting in it is a grave matter,
and hindering (men) from Allah's way and denying Him,
and (hindering men from) the Sacred Mosque and turning
its people out of it, are still graver with Allah, and
persecution is graver than slaughter; and they will not
cease fighting with you until they turn you back from
your religion, if they can; and whoever of you turns
back from his religion, then he dies while an unbeliever
these it is whose works shall go for nothing in this
world and the hereafter, and they are the inmates of the
fire; therein they shall abide.
2.221: And do not marry the idolatresses until they
believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than
an idolatress woman, even though she should please you;
and do not give (believing women) in marriage to
idolaters until they believe, and certainly a believing
servant is better than an idolater, even though he
should please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah
invites to the garden and to forgiveness by His will,
and makes clear His communications to men, that they may
be mindful.
2.222: And they ask you about menstruation. Say: It is
a discomfort; therefore keep aloof from the women during
the menstrual discharge and do not go near them until
they have become clean; then when they have cleansed
themselves, go in to them as Allah has commanded you;
surely Allah loves those who turn much (to Him), and He
loves those who purify themselves.
2.223: Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your
tilth when you like, and do good beforehand for
yourselves, and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and
know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the
believers.
2.228: And the divorced women should keep themselves
in waiting for three courses; and it is not lawful for
them that they should conceal what Allah has created in
their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the last day;
and their husbands have a better right to take them back
in the meanwhile if they wish for reconciliation; and
they have rights similar to those against them in a just
manner, and the men are a degree above them, and Allah
is Mighty, Wise.
2.254: O you who believe! spend out of what We have
given you before the day comes in which there is no
bargaining, neither any friendship nor intercession, and
the unbelievers they are the unjust.
2.257: Allah is the guardian of those who believe. He
brings them out of the darkness into the light; and (as
to) those who disbelieve, their guardians are Shaitans
who take them out of the light into the darkness; they
are the inmates of the fire, in it they shall abide.
2.258: Have you not considered him (Namrud) who
disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because Allah had
given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He
who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life
and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes
the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from
the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and
Allah does not guide aright the unjust people.
2.264: O you who believe! do not make your charity
worthless by reproach and injury, like him who spends
his property to be seen of men and does not believe in
Allah and the last day; so his parable is as the parable
of a smooth rock with earth upon it, then a heavy rain
falls upon it, so it leaves it bare; they shall not be
able to gain anything of what they have earned; and
Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.
2.282: O you who believe! when you deal with each
other in contracting a debt for a fixed time, then write
it down; and let a scribe write it down between you with
fairness; and the scribe should not refuse to write as
Allah has taught him, so he should write; and let him
who owes the debt dictate, and he should be careful of
(his duty to) Allah, his Lord, and not diminish anything
from it; but if he who owes the debt is unsound in
understanding, or weak, or (if) he is not able to
dictate himself, let his guardian dictate with fairness;
and call in to witness from among your men two
witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man
and two women from among those whom you choose to be
witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of
the two may remind the other; and the witnesses should
not refuse when they are summoned; and be not averse to
writing it (whether it is) small or large, with the time
of its falling due; this is more equitable in the sight
of Allah and assures greater accuracy in testimony, and
the nearest (way) that you may not entertain doubts
(afterwards), except when it is ready merchandise which
you give and take among yourselves from hand to hand,
then there is no blame on you in not writing it down;
and have witnesses when you barter with one another, and
let no harm be done to the scribe or to the witness; and
if you do (it) then surely it will be a transgression in
you, and be careful of (your duty) to Allah, Allah
teaches you, and Allah knows all things.
2.286: Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but
to the extent of its ability; for it is (the benefit of)
what it has earned and upon it (the evil of) what it has
wrought: Our Lord! do not punish us if we forget or make
a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou
didst lay on those before us, Our Lord do not impose
upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and
pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us,
Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving
people.
3.4: Surely they who disbelieve in the communications
of Allah they shall have a severe chastisement; and
Allah is Mighty, the Lord of retribution.
3.10: (As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither
their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the
least against Allah, and these it is who are the fuel of
the fire.
3.11: Like the striving of the people of Firon and
those before them; they rejected Our communications, so
Allah destroyed them on account of their faults; and
Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
3.12: Say to those who disbelieve: You shall be
vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the
resting-place.
3.13: Indeed there was a sign for you in the two hosts
(which) met together in encounter; one party fighting in
the way of Allah and the other unbelieving, whom they
saw twice as many as themselves with the sight of the
eye and Allah strengthens with His aid whom He pleases;
most surely there is a lesson in this for those who have
sight.
3.19: Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam,
and those to whom the Book had been given did not show
opposition but after knowledge had come to them, out of
envy among themselves; and whoever disbelieves in the
communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in
reckoning.
3.21: Surely (as for) those who disbelieve in the
communications of Allah and slay the prophets unjustly
and slay those among men who enjoin justice, announce to
them a painful chastisement.
3.22: Those are they whose works shall become null in
this world as well as the hereafter, and they shall have
no helpers.
3.23: Have you not considered those (Jews) who are
given a portion of the Book? They are invited to the
Book of Allah that it might decide between them, then a
part of them turn back and they withdraw.
3.24: This is because they say: The fire shall not
touch us but for a few days; and what they have forged
deceives them in the matter of their religion.
3.25: Then how will it be when We shall gather them
together on a day about which there is no doubt, and
every soul shall be fully paid what it has earned, and
they shall not be dealt with unjustly?
3.28: Let not the believers take the unbelievers for
friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he
shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but
you should guard yourselves against them, guarding
carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution
from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
3.32: Say: Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they
turn back, then surely Allah does not love the
unbelievers.
3.56: Then as to those who disbelieve, I will chastise
them with severe chastisement in this world and the
hereafter, and they shall have no helpers.
3.57: And as to those who believe and do good deeds,
He will pay them fully their rewards; and Allah does not
love the unjust.
3.85: And whoever desires a religion other than Islam,
it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter
he shall be one of the losers.
3.86: How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved
after their believing and (after) they had borne witness
that the Apostle was true and clear arguments had come
to them; and Allah does not guide the unjust people.
3.87: (As for) these, their reward is that upon them
is the curse of Allah and the angels and of men, all
together.
3.88: Abiding in it; their chastisement shall not be
lightened nor shall they be respited.
3.89: Except those who repent after that and amend,
then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
3.90: Surely, those who disbelieve after their
believing, then increase in unbelief, their repentance
shall not be accepted, and these are they that go
astray.
3.91: Surely, those who disbelieve and die while they
are unbelievers, the earth full of gold shall not be
accepted from one of them, though he should offer to
ransom himself with it, these it is who shall have a
painful chastisement, and they shall have no helpers.
3.99: Say: O followers of the Book! why do you hinder
him who believes from the way of Allah? You seek (to
make) it crooked, while you are witness, and Allah is
not heedless of what you do.
3.100: O you who believe! if you obey a party from
among those who have been given the Book, they will turn
you back as unbelievers after you have believed.
3.106: On the day when (some) faces shall turn white
and (some) faces shall turn black; then as to those
whose faces turn black: Did you disbelieve after your
believing? Taste therefore the chastisement because you
disbelieved.
3.111: They shall by no means harm you but with a
slight evil; and if they fight with you they shall turn
(their) backs to you, then shall they not be helped.
3.112: Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever
they are found, except under a covenant with Allah and a
covenant with men, and they have become deserving of
wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave to
them; this is because they disbelieved in the
communications of Allah and slew the prophets unjustly;
this is because they disobeyed and exceeded the limits.
3.116: (As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither
their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the
least against Allah; and these are the inmates of the
fire; therein they shall abide.
3.127: That He may cut off a portion from among those
who disbelieve, or abase them so that they should return
disappointed of attaining what they desired.
3.131: And guard yourselves against the fire, which
has been prepared for the unbelievers.
3.140: If a wound has afflicted you (at Ohud), a wound
like it has also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and
We bring these days to men by turns, and that Allah may
know those who believe and take witnesses from among
you; and Allah does not love the unjust.
3.141: And that He may purge those who believe and
deprive the unbelievers of blessings.
3.147: And their saying was no other than that they
said: Our Lord! forgive us our faults and our
extravagance in our affair and make firm our feet and
help us against the unbelieving people.
3.149: O you who believe! if you obey those who
disbelieve they will turn you back upon your heels, so
you will turn back losers.
3.151: We will cast terror into the hearts of those
who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for
which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is
the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.
3.156: O you who believe! be not like those who
disbelieve and say of their brethren when they travel in
the earth or engage in fighting: Had they been with us,
they would not have died and they would not have been
slain; so Allah makes this to be an intense regret in
their hearts; and Allah gives life and causes death and
Allah sees what you do.
3.167: And that He might know the hypocrites; and it
was said to them: Come, fight in Allah's way, or defend
yourselves. They said: If we knew fighting, we would
certainly have followed you. They were on that day much
nearer to unbelief than to belief. They say with their
mouths what is not in their hearts, and Allah best knows
what they conceal.
3.176: And let not those grieve you who fall into
unbelief hastily; surely they can do no harm to Allah at
all; Allah intends that He should not give them any
portion in the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous
chastisement.
3.177: Surely those who have bought unbelief at the
price of faith shall do no harm at all to Allah, and
they shall have a painful chastisement.
3.178: And let not those who disbelieve think that Our
granting them respite is better for their souls; We
grant them respite only that they may add to their sins;
and they shall have a disgraceful chastisement.
3.196: Let it not deceive you that those who
disbelieve go to and fro in the cities fearlessly.
3.197: A brief enjoyment! then their abode is hell,
and evil is the resting-place.
4.3: And if you fear that you cannot act equitably
towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to
you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you
will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only
one or what your right hands possess; this is more
proper, that you may not deviate from the right course.
4.11: Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The
male shall have the equal of the portion of two females;
then if they are more than two females, they shall have
two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and if there
is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents,
each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if
he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) his
two parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the
third; but if he has brothers, then his mother shall
have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may
have bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your
children, you know not which of them is the nearer to
you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah:
Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.
4.14: And whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle and
goes beyond His limits, He will cause him to enter fire
to abide in it, and he shall have an abasing
chastisement.
4.15: And as for those who are guilty of an indecency
from among your women, call to witnesses against them
four (witnesses) from among you; then if they bear
witness confine them to the houses until death takes
them away or Allah opens some way for them.
4.16: And as for the two who are guilty of indecency
from among you, give them both a punishment; then if
they repent and amend, turn aside from them; surely
Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.
4.18: And repentance is not for those who go on doing
evil deeds, until when death comes to one of them, he
says: Surely now I repent; nor (for) those who die while
they are unbelievers. These are they for whom We have
prepared a painful chastisement.
4.34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah
has made some of them to excel others and because they
spend out of their property; the good women are
therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has
guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear
desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the
sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do
not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High,
Great.
4.37: Those who are niggardly and bid people to be
niggardly and hide what Allah has given them out of His
grace; and We have prepared for the unbelievers a
disgraceful chastisement.
4.42: On that day will those who disbelieve and
disobey the Apostle desire that the earth were leveled
with them, and they shall not hide any word from Allah.
4.43: O you who believe! do not go near prayer when
you are Intoxicated until you know (well) what you say,
nor when you are under an obligation to perform a bath
unless (you are) traveling on the road until you have
washed yourselves; and if you are sick, or on a journey,
or one of you come from the privy or you have touched
the women, and you cannot find water, betake yourselves
to pure earth, then wipe your faces and your hands;
surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.
4.46: Of those who are Jews (there are those who)
alter words from their places and say: We have heard and
we disobey and: Hear, may you not be made to hear! and:
Raina, distorting (the word) with their tongues and
taunting about religion; and if they had said (instead):
We have heard and we obey, and hearken, and Unzurna it
would have been better for them and more upright; but
Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief, so
they do not believe but a little.
4.47: O you who have been given the Book! believe that
which We have revealed, verifying what you have, before
We alter faces then turn them on their backs, or curse
them as We cursed the violators of the Sabbath, and the
command of Allah shall be executed.
4.48: Surely Allah does not forgive that anything
should be associated with Him, and forgives what is
besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and whoever
associates anything with Allah, he devises indeed a
great sin.
4.49: Have you not considered those who attribute
purity to themselves? Nay, Allah purifies whom He
pleases; and they shall not be wronged the husk of a
date stone.
4.50: See how they forge the lie against Allah, and
this is sufficient as a manifest sin.
4.51: Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the
Book has been given? They believe in idols and false
deities and say of those who disbelieve: These are
better guided in the path than those who believe.
4.52: Those are they whom Allah has cursed, and
whomever Allah curses you shall not find any helper for
him.
4.55: So of them is he who believes in him, and of
them is he who turns away from him, and hell is
sufficient to burn.
4.56: (As for) those who disbelieve in Our
communications, We shall make them enter fire; so oft as
their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them
for other skins, that they may taste the chastisement;
surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
4.61: And when it is said to them: Come to what Allah
has revealed and to the Apostle, you will see the
hypocrites turning away from you with (utter) aversion.
4.76: Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and
those who disbelieve fight in the way of the Shaitan.
Fight therefore against the friends of the Shaitan;
surely the strategy of the Shaitan is weak.
4.83: And when there comes to them news of security or
fear they spread it abroad; and if they had referred it
to the Apostle and to those in authority among them,
those among them who can search out the knowledge of it
would have known it, and were it not for the grace of
Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have certainly
followed the Shaitan save a few
4.84: Fight then in Allah's way; this is not imposed
on you except In relation to yourself, and rouse the
believers to ardor maybe Allah will restrain the
fighting of those who disbelieve and Allah is strongest
in prowess and strongest to give an exemplary
punishment.
4.88: What is the matter with you, then, that you have
become two parties about the hypocrites, while Allah has
made them return (to unbelief) for what they have
earned? Do you wish to guide him whom Allah has caused
to err? And whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall by
no means find a way for him.
4.89: They desire that you should disbelieve as they
have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike;
therefore take not from among them friends until they
fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back,
then seize them and kill them wherever you find them,
and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
4.91: You will find others who desire that they should
be safe from you and secure from their own people; as
often as they are sent back to the mischief they get
thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not
withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and
restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them
wherever you find them; and against these We have given
you a clear authority.
4.101: And when you journey in the earth, there is no
blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that
those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the
unbelievers are your open enemy.
4.102: And when you are among them and keep up the
prayer for them, let a party of them stand up with you,
and let them take their arms; then when they have
prostrated themselves let them go to your rear, and let
another party who have not prayed come forward and pray
with you, and let them take their precautions and their
arms; (for) those who disbelieve desire that you may be
careless of your arms and your luggage, so that they may
then turn upon you with a sudden united attack, and
there is no blame on you, if you are annoyed with rain
or if you are sick, that you lay down your arms, and
take your precautions; surely Allah has prepared a
disgraceful chastisement for the unbelievers.
4.137: Surely (as for) those who believe then
disbelieve, again believe and again disbelieve, then
increase in disbelief, Allah will not forgive them nor
guide them in the (right) path.
4.138: Announce to the hypocrites that they shall have
a painful chastisement:
4.139: Those who take the unbelievers for guardians
rather than believers. Do they seek honor from them?
Then surely all honor is for Allah.
4.140: And indeed He has revealed to you in the Book
that when you hear Allah's communications disbelieved in
and mocked at do not sit with them until they enter into
some other discourse; surely then you would be like
them; surely Allah will gather together the hypocrites
and the unbelievers all in hell.
4.141: Those who wait for (some misfortune to befall)
you then If you have a victory from Allah they say: Were
we not with you? And i. there IS a chance for the
unbelievers, they say: Did we not acquire the mastery
over you and defend you from the believers? So Allah
shall Judge between you on the day of resurrection, and
Allah will by no means give the unbelievers a way
against the believers.
4.142: Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah,
and He shall requite their deceit to them, and when they
stand up to prayer they stand up sluggishly; they do it
only to be seen of men and do not remember Allah save a
little.
4.144: O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers
for friends rather than the believers; do you desire
that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against
yourselves?
4.145: Surely the hypocrites are in the lowest stage
of the fire and you shall not find a helper for them.
4.150: Surely those who disbelieve in Allah and His
apostles and (those who) desire to make a distinction
between Allah and His apostles and say: We believe in
some and disbelieve in others, and desire to take a
course between (this and) that.
4.151: These it is that are truly unbelievers, and We
have prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful
chastisement.
4.155: Therefore, for their breaking their covenant
and their disbelief in the communications of Allah and
their killing the prophets wrongfully and their saying:
Our hearts are covered; nay! Allah set a seal upon them
owing to their unbelief, so they shall not believe
except a few.
4.157: And their saying: Surely we have killed the
Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the apostle of Allah; and
they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it
appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who
differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have
no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a
conjecture, and they killed him not for sure.
4.160: Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are
Jews did We disallow to them the good things which had
been made lawful for them and for their hindering many
(people) from Allah's way.
4.161: And their taking usury though indeed they were
forbidden it and their devouring the property of people
falsely, and We have prepared for the unbelievers from
among them a painful chastisement.
4.167: Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and hinder
(men) from Allah's way, they indeed have strayed off
into a remote
4.168: Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and act
unjustly Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to a
path
4.169: Except the path of hell, to abide in it for
ever, and this is easy to Allah.
4.171: O followers of the Book! do not exceed the
limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against
Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Isa son of
Marium is only an apostle of Allah and His Word which He
communicated to Marium and a spirit from Him; believe
therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three.
Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one God; far
be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever
is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His,
and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
4.176: They ask you for a decision of the law. Say:
Allah gives you a decision concerning the person who has
neither parents nor offspring; if a man dies (and) he
has no son and he has a sister, she shall have half of
what he leaves, and he shall be her heir she has no son;
but if there be two (sisters), they shall have
two-thirds of what he leaves; and if there are brethren,
men and women, then the male shall have the like of the
portion of two females; Allah makes clear to you, lest
you err; and Allah knows all things.
5.12: And certainly Allah made a covenant with the
children of Israel, and We raised up among them twelve
chieftains; and Allah said: Surely I am with you; if you
keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and believe in My
apostles and assist them and offer to Allah a goodly
gift, I will most certainly cover your evil deeds, and I
will most certainly cause you to enter into gardens
beneath which rivers flow, but whoever disbelieves from
among you after that, he indeed shall lose the right
way.
5.13: But on account of their breaking their covenant
We cursed them and made their hearts hard; they altered
the words from their places and they neglected a portion
of what they were reminded of; and you shall always
discover treachery in them excepting a few of them; so
pardon them and turn away; surely Allah loves those who
do good (to others).
5.17: Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah
-- He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could
control anything as against Allah when He wished to
destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all
those on the earth? And Allah's is the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth and what is between them; He
creates what He pleases; and Allah has power over all
things,
5.18: And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the
sons of Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He
then chastise you for your faults? Nay, you are mortals
from among those whom He has created, He forgives whom
He pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah's is
the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is
between them, and to Him is the eventual coming.
5.33: The punishment of those who wage war against
Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the
land is only this, that they should be murdered or
crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut
off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this
shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in
the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.
5.36: Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, even if
they had what is in the earth, all of it, and the like
of it with it, that they might ransom themselves with it
from the punishment of the day of resurrection, it shall
not be accepted from them, and they shall have a painful
punishment.
5.37: They would desire to go forth from the fire, and
they shall not go forth from it, and they shall have a
lasting punishment.
5.38: And (as for) the man who steals and the woman
who steals, cut off their hands as a punishment for what
they have earned, an exemplary punishment from Allah;
and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
5.41: O Apostle! let not those grieve you who strive
together in hastening to unbelief from among those who
say with their mouths: We believe, and their hearts do
not believe, and from among those who are Jews; they are
listeners for the sake of a lie, listeners for another
people who have not come to you; they alter the words
from their places, saying: If you are given this, take
it, and if you are not given this, be cautious; and as
for him whose temptation Allah desires, you cannot
control anything for him with Allah. Those are they for
whom Allah does not desire that He should purify their
hearts; they shall have disgrace in this world, and they
shall have a grievous chastisement in the hereafter.
5.51: O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the
Christians for friends; they are friends of each other;
and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then
surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide
the unjust people.
5.54: O you who believe! whoever from among you turns
back from his religion, then Allah will bring a people,
He shall love them and they shall love Him, lowly before
the believers, mighty against the unbelievers, they
shall strive hard in Allah's way and shall not fear the
censure of any censurer; this is Allah's Face, He gives
it to whom He pleases, and Allah is Ample-giving,
Knowing.
5.57: O ye who believe! Choose not for friends such of
those who received the Scriptures before you.
5.58: And when you call to prayer they make it a
mockery and a joke; this is because they are a people
who do not understand.
5.59: Say: O followers of the Book! do you find fault
with us (for aught) except that we believe in Allah and
in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed
before, and that most of you are transgressors?
5.60: Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse
than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom
Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom
He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan;
these are worse in place and more erring from the
straight path.
5.61: And when they come to you, they say: We believe;
and indeed they come in with unbelief and indeed they go
forth with it; and Allah knows best what they concealed.
5.62: And you will see many of them striving with one
another to hasten in sin and exceeding the limits, and
their eating of what is unlawfully acquired; certainly
evil is that which they do.
5.63: Why do not the learned men and the doctors of
law prohibit them from their speaking of what is sinful
and their eating of what is unlawfully acquired?
Certainly evil is that which they work.
5.64: And the Jews say: The hand of Allah is tied up!
Their hands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed
for what they say. Nay, both His hands are spread out,
He expends as He pleases; and what has been revealed to
you from your Lord will certainly make many of them
increase in inordinacy and unbelief; and We have put
enmity and hatred among them till the day of
resurrection; whenever they kindle a fire for war Allah
puts it out, and they strive to make mischief in the
land; and Allah does not love the mischief-makers.
5.67: O Apostle! deliver what has been revealed to you
from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not
delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from
the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving
people.
5.68: Say: O followers of the Book! you follow no good
till you keep up the Taurat and the Injeel and that
which is revealed to you from your Lord; and surely that
which has been revealed to you from your Lord shall make
many of them increase in inordinacy and unbelief; grieve
not therefore for the unbelieving people.
5.72: Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah,
He is the Messiah, son of Marium; and the Messiah said:
O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and your
Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah,
then Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his
abode is the fire; and there shall be no helpers for the
unjust.
5.73: Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah
is the third (person) of the three; and there is no god
but the one God, and if they desist not from what they
say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among
them who disbelieve.
5.78: Those who disbelieved from among the children of
Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa, son
of Marium; this was because they disobeyed and used to
exceed the limit.
5.79: They used not to forbid each other the hateful
things (which) they did; certainly evil was that which
they did.
5.80: You will see many of them befriending those who
disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls
have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased
with them and in chastisement shall they abide.
5.81: And had they believed in Allah and the prophet
and what was revealed to him, they would not have taken
them for friends but! most of them are transgressors.
5.82: Certainly you will find the most violent of
people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews
and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly
find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to
be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because
there are priests and monks among them and because they
do not behave proudly.
5.86: And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our
communications, these are the companions of the flame.
5.115: Allah said: Surely I will send it down to you,
but whoever shall disbelieve afterwards from among you,
surely I will chastise him with a chastisement with
which I will not chastise, anyone among the nations
6.25: And of them is he who hearkens to you, and We
have cast veils over their hearts lest they understand
it and a heaviness into their ears; and even if they see
every sign they will not believe in it; so much so that
when they come to you they only dispute with you; those
who disbelieve say: This is naught but the stories of
the ancients.
6.30: And could you see when they are made to stand
before their Lord. He will say: Is not this the truth?
They will say: Yea! by our Lord. He will say: Taste then
the chastisement because you disbelieved.
6.45: So the roots of the people who were unjust were
cut off; and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the
worlds.
6.70: And leave those who have taken their religion
for a play and an idle sport, and whom this world's life
has deceived, and remind (them) thereby lest a soul
should be given up to destruction for what it has
earned; it shall not have besides Allah any guardian nor
an intercessor, and if it should seek to give every
compensation, it shall not be accepted from it; these
are they who shall be given up to destruction for what
they earned; they shall have a drink of boiling water
and a painful chastisement because they disbelieved.
6.130: O assembly of jinn and men! did there not come
to you apostles from among you, relating to you My
communications and warning you of the meeting of this
day of yours? They shall say: We bear witness against
ourselves; and this world's life deceived them, and they
shall bear witness against their own souls that they
were unbelievers.
6.137: And thus their associates have made fair
seeming to most of the polytheists the killing of their
children, that they may cause them to perish and obscure
for them their religion; and if Allah had pleased, they
would not have done it, therefore leave them and that
which they forge.
6.146: And to those who were Jews We made unlawful
every animal having claws, and of oxen and sheep We made
unlawful to them the fat of both, except such as was on
their backs or the entrails or what was mixed with
bones: this was a punishment We gave them on account of
their rebellion, and We are surely Truthful.
6.147: But if they give you the lie, then say: Your
Lord is the Lord of All-encompassing mercy; and His
punishment cannot be averted from the guilty people.
6.148: Those who are polytheists will say: If Allah
had pleased we would not have associated (aught with
Him) nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden (to
ourselves) anything; even so did those before them
reject until they tasted Our punishment. Say: Have you
any knowledge with you so you should bring it forth to
us? You only follow a conjecture and you only tell lies.
7.37: Who is then more unjust than he who forges a lie
against Allah or rejects His communications? (As for)
those, their portion of the Book shall reach them, until
when Our messengers come to them causing them to die,
they shall say: Where is that which you used to call
upon besides Allah? They would say: They are gone away
from us; and they shall bear witness against themselves
that they were unbelievers
7.44: And the dwellers of the garden will call out to
the inmates of the fire: Surely we have found what our
Lord promised us to be true; have you too found what
your Lord promised to be true? They will say: Yes. Then
a crier will cry out among them that the curse of Allah
is on the unjust.
7.45: Who hinder (people) from Allah's way and seek to
make it crooked, and they are disbelievers in the
hereafter.
7.50: And the inmates of the fire shall call out to
the dwellers of the garden, saying: Pour on us some
water or of that which Allah has given you. They shall
say: Surely Allah has prohibited them both to the
unbelievers.
7.66: The chiefs of those who disbelieved from among
his people said: Most surely we see you in folly, and
most surely we think you to be of the liars.
8.7: And when Allah promised you one of the two
parties that it shall be yours and you loved that the
one not armed should he yours and Allah desired to
manifest the truth of what was true by His words and to
cut off the root of the unbelievers.
8.12: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with
you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast
terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.
Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every
fingertip of them.
8.13: This is because they acted adversely to Allah
and His Apostle; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and
His Apostle then surely Allah is severe in requiting
(evil).
8.14: This taste it, and (know) that for the
unbelievers is the chastisement of fire.
8.15: O you who believe! when you meet those who
disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to
them.
8.16: And whoever shall turn his back to them on that
day unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or
withdraws to a company then he, indeed, becomes
deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and
an evil destination shall it be.
8.17: So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who
slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the
enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might
confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself;
surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
8.18: This, and that Allah is the weakener of the
struggle of the unbelievers.
8.19: If you demanded a judgment, the judgment has
then indeed come to you; and if you desist, it will be
better for you; and if you turn back (to fight), We
(too) shall turn back, and your forces shall avail you
nothing, though they may be many, and (know) that Allah
is with the believers.
8.30: And when those who disbelieved devised plans
against you that they might confine you or slay you or
drive you away; and they devised plans and Allah too had
arranged a plan; and Allah is the best of planners.
8.31: And when Our communications are recited to them,
they say: We have heard indeed; if we pleased we could
say the like of it; this is nothing but the stories of
the ancients.
8.32: And when they said: O Allah! if this is the
truth from Thee, then rain upon us stones from heaven or
inflict on us a painful punishment.
8.33: But Allah was not going to chastise them while
you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them
while yet they ask for forgiveness.
8.34: And what (excuse) have they that Allah should
not chastise them while they hinder (men) from the
Sacred Mosque and they are not (fit to be) guardians of
it; its guardians are only those who guard (against
evil), but most of them do not know.
8.35: And their prayer before the House is nothing but
whistling and clapping of hands; taste then the
chastisement, for you disbelieved.
8.36: Surely those who disbelieve spend their wealth
to hinder (people) from the way of Allah; so they shall
spend it, then it shall be to them an intense regret,
then they shall be overcome; and those who disbelieve
shall be driven together to hell.
8.37: That Allah might separate the impure from the
good, and put the impure, some of it upon the other, and
pile it up together, then cast it into hell; these it is
that are the losers.
8.38: Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist,
that which is past shall be forgiven to them; and if
they return, then what happened to the ancients has
already passed.
8.39: And fight with them until there is no more
persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but
if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.
8.49: When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts
was disease said: Their religion has deceived them; and
whoever trusts in Allah, then surely Allah is Mighty,
Wise.
8.50: And had you seen when the angels will cause to
die those who disbelieve, smiting their faces and their
backs, and (saying): Taste the punishment of burning.
8.52: In the manner of the people of Firon and those
before them; they disbelieved in Allah's communications,
therefore Allah destroyed them on account of their
faults; surely Allah is strong, severe in requiting
(evil).
8.55: Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight
are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe.
8.65: O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there
are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two
hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall
overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because
they are a people who do not understand.
Sura 9: "The Immunity"
10.4: To Him is your return, of all (of you); the
promise of Allah (made) in truth; surely He begins the
creation in the first instance, then He reproduces it,
that He may with justice recompense those who believe
and do good; and (as for) those who disbelieve, they
shall have a drink of hot water and painful punishment
because they disbelieved.
10.70: (It is only) a provision in this world, then to
Us shall be their return; then We shall make them taste
severe punishment because they disbelieved.
13.5: And if you would wonder, then wondrous is their
saying: What! when we are dust, shall we then certainly
be in a new creation? These are they who disbelieve in
their Lord, and these have chains on their necks, and
they are the inmates of the fire; in it they shall
abide.
13.32: And apostles before you were certainly mocked
at, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I
destroyed them; how then was My requital (of evil)?
13.35: A likeness of the garden which the righteous
are promised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and
shades are perpetual; this is the requital of those who
guarded (against evil), and the requital of the
unbelievers is the fire.
14.2: (Of) Allah, Whose is whatever is in the heavens
and whatever Is in the earth; and woe to the unbelievers
on account of the severe chastisement
14.3: (To) those who love this world's life more than
the hereafter, and turn away from Allah's path and
desire to make it crooked; these are in a great error.
14.13: And those who disbelieved said to their
apostles: We will most certainly drive you forth from
our land, or else you shall come back into our religion.
So their Lord revealed to them: Most certainly We will
destroy the unjust.
14.22: And the Shaitan shall say after the affair is
decided: Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth,
and I gave you promises, then failed to keep them to
you, and I had no authority over you, except that I
called you and you obeyed me, therefore do not blame me
but blame yourselves: I cannot be your aider (now) nor
can you be my aiders; surely I disbelieved in your
associating me with Allah before; surely it is the
unjust that shall have the painful punishment.
16.26: Those before them did indeed devise plans, but
Allah demolished their building from the foundations, so
the roof fell down on them from above them, and the
punishment came to them from whence they did not
perceive.
16.27: Then on the resurrection day He will bring them
to disgrace and say: Where are the associates you gave
Me, for whose sake you became hostile? Those who are
given the knowledge will say: Surely the disgrace and
the evil are this day upon the unbelievers:
16.28: Those whom the angels cause to die while they
are unjust to themselves. Then would they offer
submission: We used not to do any evil. Aye! surely
Allah knows what you did.
16.29: Therefore enter the gates of hell, to abide
therein; so certainly evil is the dwelling place of the
proud.
16.88: (As for) those who disbelieve and turn away
from Allah's way, We will add chastisement to their
chastisement because they made mischief.
16.106: He who disbelieves in Allah after his having
believed, not he who is compelled while his heart is at
rest on account of faith, but he who opens (his) breast
to disbelief on these is the wrath of Allah, and they
shall have a grievous chastisement.
16.107: This is because they love this world's life
more than the hereafter, and because Allah does not
guide the unbelieving people.
16.108: These are they on whose hearts and their
hearing and their eyes Allah has set a seal, and these
are the heedless ones.
16.116: And, for what your tongues describe, do not
utter the lie, (saying) This is lawful and this is
unlawful, in order to forge a lie against Allah; surely
those who forge the lie against Allah shall not prosper.
16.117: A little enjoyment and they shall have a
painful punishment.
16.118: And for those who were Jews We prohibited what
We have related to you already, and We did them no
injustice, but they were unjust to themselves.
17.8: It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you,
and if you again return (to disobedience) We too will
return (to punishment), and We have made hell a prison
for the unbelievers.
17.97: And whomsoever Allah guides, he is the follower
of the right way, and whomsoever He causes to err, you
shall not find for him guardians besides Him; and We
will gather them together on the day of resurrection on
their faces, blind and dumb and deaf; their abode is
hell; whenever it becomes allayed We will add to their
burning.
17.98: This is their retribution because they
disbelieved in Our communications and said What! when we
shall have become bones and decayed particles, shall we
then indeed be raised up into a new creation?
18.29: And say: The truth is from your Lord, so let
him who please believe, and let him who please
disbelieve; surely We have prepared for the iniquitous a
fire, the curtains of which shall encompass them about;
and if they cry for water, they shall be given water
like molten brass which will scald their faces; evil the
drink and ill the resting-place.
18.100: And We will bring forth hell, exposed to view,
on that day before the unbelievers.
18.101: They whose eyes were under a cover from My
reminder and they could not even hear.
18.102: What! do then those who disbelieve think that
they can take My servants to be guardians besides Me?
Surely We have prepared hell for the entertainment of
the unbelievers.
21.39: Had those who disbelieve but known (of the
time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire
from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be
helped.
22.19: These are two adversaries who dispute about
their Lord; then (as to) those who disbelieve, for them
are cut out garments of fire, boiling water shall be
poured over their heads.
22.20: With it shall be melted what is in their
bellies and (their) skins as well.
22.21: And for them are whips of iron.
22.22: Whenever they will desire to go forth from it,
from grief, they shall be turned back into it, and taste
the chastisement of burning.
22.25: Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, and
hinder (men) from Allah's way and from the Sacred Mosque
which We have made equally for all men, (for) the
dweller therein and (for) the visitor, and whoever shall
incline therein to wrong unjustly, We will make him
taste of a painful chastisement.
22.55: And those who disbelieve shall not cease to be
in doubt concerning it until the hour overtakes them
suddenly, or there comes on them the chastisement of a
destructive day.
22.57: And (as for) those who disbelieve in and reject
Our communications, these it is who shall have a
disgraceful chastisement.
22.72: And when Our clear communications are recited
to them you will find denial on the faces of those who
disbelieve; they almost spring upon those who recite to
them Our communications. Say: Shall I inform you of what
is worse than this? The fire; Allah has promised it to
those who disbelieve; and how evil the resort!
23.93: Say: O my Lord! if Thou shouldst make me see
what they are threatened with:
23.94: My Lord! then place me not with the unjust.
23.95: And most surely We are well able to make you
see what We threaten them with.
23.96: Repel evil by what is best; We know best what
they describe.
23.97: And say: O my Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from
the evil suggestions of the Shaitans;
23.98: And I seek refuge in Thee! O my Lord! from
their presence.
23.99: Until when death overtakes one of them, he
says: Send me back, my Lord, send me back;
24.2: (As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator,
flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let
not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience
to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day, and
let a party of believers witness their chastisement.
24.3: The fornicator shall not marry any but a
fornicatress or idolatress, and (as for) the
fornicatress, none shall marry her but a fornicator or
an idolater; and it is forbidden to the believers.
24.4: And those who accuse free women then do not
bring four witnesses, flog them, (giving) eighty
stripes, and do not admit any evidence from them ever;
and these it is that are the transgressors,
24.5: Except those who repent after this and act
aright, for surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
24.6: And (as for) those who accuse their wives and
have no witnesses except themselves, the evidence of one
of these (should be taken) four times, bearing Allah to
witness that he is most surely of the truthful ones.
24.7: And the fifth (time) that the curse of Allah be
on him if he is one of the liars.
24.8: And it shall avert the chastisement from her if
she testify four times, bearing Allah to witness that he
is most surely one of the liars;
24.9: And the fifth (time) that the wrath of Allah be
on her if he is one of the truthful.
24.57: Think not that those who disbelieve shall
escape in the earth, and their abode is the fire; and
certainly evil is the resort!
25.52: So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive
against them a mighty striving with it.
25.55: And they serve besides Allah that which neither
profits them nor causes them harm; and the unbeliever is
a partisan against his Lord.
25.77: Say: My Lord would not care for you were it not
for your prayer; but you have indeed rejected (the
truth), so that which shall cleave shall come.
29.11: And most certainly Allah will know those who
believe and most certainly He will know the hypocrites.
29.12: And those who disbelieve say to those who
believe: Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs.
And never shall they be the bearers of any of their
wrongs; most surely they are liars.
29.13: And most certainly they shall carry their own
burdens, and other burdens with their own burdens, and
most certainly they shall be questioned on the
resurrection day as to what they forged.
29.23: And (as to) those who disbelieve in the
communications of Allah and His meeting, they have
despaired of My mercy, and these it is that shall have a
painful punishment.
29.52: Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between
me and you; He knows what is in the heavens and the
earth. And (as for) those who believe in the falsehood
and disbelieve in Allah, these it is that are the
losers.
29.53: And they ask you to hasten on the chastisement;
and had not a term been appointed, the chastisement
would certainly have come to them; and most certainly it
will come to them all of a sudden while they will not
perceive.
29.54: They ask you to hasten on the chastisement, and
most surely hell encompasses the unbelievers;
29.55: On the day when the chastisement shall cover
them from above them, and from beneath their feet; and
He shall say: Taste what you did.
29.68: And who is more unjust than one who forges a
lie against Allah, or gives the lie to the truth when it
has come to him? Will not in hell be the abode of the
unbelievers?
30.16: And as to those who disbelieved and rejected
Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter,
these shall be brought over to the chastisement.
31.13: And when Luqman said to his son while he
admonished him: O my son! do not associate aught with
Allah; most surely polytheism is a grievous iniquity
33.1: O Prophet! be careful of (your duty to) Allah
and do not comply with (the wishes of) the unbelievers
and the hypocrites; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;
33.8: That He may question the truthful of their
truth, and He has prepared for the unbelievers a painful
punishment.
33.12: And when the hypocrites and those in whose
hearts was a disease began to say: Allah and His Apostle
did not promise us (victory) but only to deceive.
33.24: That Allah may reward the truthful for their
truth, and punish the hypocrites if He please or turn to
them (mercifully); surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
33.25: And Allah turned back the unbelievers in their
rage; they did not obtain any advantage, and Allah
sufficed the believers in fighting; and Allah is Strong,
Mighty.
33.26: And He drove down those of the followers of the
Book who backed them from their fortresses and He cast
awe into their hearts; some you killed and you took
captive another part.
33.27: And He made you heirs to their land and their
dwellings and their property, and (to) a land which you
have not yet trodden, and Allah has power over all
things.
33.28: O Prophet! say to your wives: If you desire
this world's life and its adornment, then come, I will
give you a provision and allow you to depart a goodly
departing
33.30: O wives of the prophet! whoever of you commits
an open indecency, the punishment shall be increased to
her doubly; and this IS easy to Allah.
33.32: O wives of the Prophet! you are not like any
other of the women; If you will be on your guard, then
be not soft in (your) speech, lest he in whose heart is
a disease yearn; and speak a good word.
33.48: And be not compliant to the unbelievers and the
hypocrites, and leave unregarded their annoying talk,
and rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a
Protector.
33.50: O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you
your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those
whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah
has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters
of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your
paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal
uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled
with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to
the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her --
specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We
know what We have ordained for them concerning their
wives and those whom their right hands possess in order
that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
33.51: You may put off whom you please of them, and
you may take to you whom you please, and whom you desire
of those whom you had separated provisionally; no blame
attaches to you; this is most proper, so that their eyes
may be cool and they may not grieve, and that they
should be pleased, all of them with what you give them,
and Allah knows what is in your hearts; and Allah is
Knowing, Forbearing.
33.52: It is not allowed to you to take women
afterwards, nor that you should change them for other
wives, though their beauty be pleasing to you, except
what your right hand possesses and Allah is Watchful
over all things.
33.60: If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is
a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist,
We shall most certainly set you over them, then they
shall not be your neighbors in it but for a little
while;
33.61: Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be
seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering.
33.64: Surely Allah has cursed the unbelievers and has
prepared for them a burning fire,
33.65: To abide therein for a long time; they shall
not find a protector or a helper.
33.73: So Allah will chastise the hypocritical men and
the hypocritical women and the polytheistic men and the
polytheistic women, and Allah will turn (mercifully) to
the believing women, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
34.17: This We requited them with because they
disbelieved; and We do not punish any but the
ungrateful.
34.33: And those who were deemed weak shall say to
those who were proud. Nay, (it was) planning by night
and day when you told us to disbelieve in Allah and to
set up likes with Him. And they shall conceal regret
when they shall see the punishment; and We will put
shackles on the necks of those who disbelieved; they
shall not be requited but what they did.
35.7: (As for) those who disbelieve, they shall have a
severe punishment, and (as for) those who believe and do
good, they shall have forgiveness and a great reward.
35.26: Then did I punish those who disbelieved, so how
was the manifestation of My disapproval?
35.36: And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is
the fire of hell; it shall not be finished with them
entirely so that they should die, nor shall the
chastisement thereof be lightened to them: even thus do
We retribute every ungrateful one.
36.62: And certainly he led astray numerous people
from among you. What! could you not then understand?
36.63: This is the hell with which you were
threatened.
36.64: Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.
37.18: Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
38.27: And We did not create the heaven and the earth
and what is between them in vain; that is the opinion of
those who disbelieve then woe to those who disbelieve on
account of the fire.
39.32: Who is then more unjust than he who utters a
lie against Allah and (he who) gives the lie to the
truth when it comes to him; is there not in hell an
abode for the unbelievers?
39.71: And those who disbelieve shall be driven to
hell in companies; until, when they come to it, its
doors shall be opened, and the keepers of it shall say
to them: Did not there come to you apostles from among
you reciting to you the communications of your Lord and
warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They
shall say: Yea! But the sentence of punishment was due
against the unbelievers.
40.6: And thus did the word of your Lord prove true
against those who disbelieved that they are the inmates
of the fire.
40.35: Those who dispute concerning the communications
of Allah without any authority that He has given them;
greatly hated is it by Allah and by-those who believe.
Thus does Allah set a seal over the heart of every
proud, haughty one.
41.6: Say: I am only a mortal like you; it is revealed
to me that your God is one God, therefore follow the
right way to Him and ask His forgiveness; and woe to the
polytheists;
41.7: (To) those who do not give poor-rate and they
are unbelievers in the hereafter.
41.26: And those who disbelieve say: Do not listen to
this Quran and make noise therein, perhaps you may
overcome.
41.27: Therefore We will most certainly make those who
disbelieve taste a severe punishment, and We will most
certainly reward them for the evil deeds they used to
do.
41.28: That is the reward of the enemies of Allah the
fire; for them therein shall be the house of long
abiding; a reward for their denying Our communications.
41.29: And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord!
show us those who led us astray from among the jinn and
the men that we may trample them under our feet so that
they may be of the lowest.
41.50: And if We make him taste mercy from Us after
distress that has touched him, he would most certainly
say: This is of me, and I do not think the hour will
come to pass, and if I am sent back to my Lord, I shall
have with Him sure good; but We will most certainly
inform those who disbelieved of what they did, and We
will most certainly make them taste of hard
chastisement.
42.26: And He answers those who believe and do good
deeds, and gives them more out of His grace; and (as
for) the unbelievers, they shall have a severe
punishment.
45.7: Woe to every sinful liar,
45.8: Who hears the communications of Allah recited to
him, then persists proudly as though he had not heard
them; so announce to him a painful punishment.
45.9: And when he comes to know of any of Our
communications, he takes it for a jest; these it is that
shall have abasing chastisement.
45.10: Before them is hell, and there shall not avail
them aught of what they earned, nor those whom they took
for guardians besides Allah, and they shall have a
grievous punishment.
45.11: This is guidance; and (as for) those who
disbelieve in the communications of their Lord, they
shall have a painful punishment on account of
uncleanness.
46.20: And on the day when those who disbelieve shall
be brought before the fire: You did away with your good
things in your life of the world and you enjoyed them
for a while, so today you shall be rewarded with the
punishment of abasement b
