Cain and Abel
| 5.27 | Recite to them in all truth the story of Adam's two sons: How each offered a sacrifice, and how the offering of one was accepted while that of the other was not. The latter said: "I will kill you." The former replied: "Allah only accepts the sacrifice from the righteous. |
| 5.28 | Even if you stretch your hand to kill me, I shall not stretch my hand to slay you, for I fear Allah, the Rabb of the worlds. |
| 5.29 | I intend to let you bear the burden of my sins as well as yours and thus become an inmate of the Fire which is the reward for wrongdoers." |
| 5.30 | The latter's soul prompted him to kill his brother; he killed him and thus became one of the losers. |
| 5.31 | (He carried around the dead body of his brother and did not know what to do with it.) Then Allah sent a raven, which dug the ground to show him how to bury the dead body of his brother. "Alas!" He cried, "I failed even to be like this raven to find some way to dispose of the dead body of my brother!" So he became full of regrets. |
| 5.32 | On account of that incident, We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever kills a person, except as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land, it will be written in his book of deeds as if he had killed all the human beings on the surface of the Earth and whoever will save a life shall be regarded as if he gave life to all the human beings on the surface of the Earth. Yet, even though Our Rasools came to them one after the other with clear revelations, it was not long before, many of them committed excesses in the land. |
Calamity, The Day of
Call
| 48.11 | The beduin Arabs who stayed behind will soon say to you: "Our goods and families kept us occupied, so please ask forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Tell them: "Who can intervene on your behalf with Allah if it be His will to do you harm or He pleases to do you good? Allah is well aware of your actions. |
| 48.12 | Rather you thought that the Rasool and the believers would never return to their families; this fancy seemed pleasing to your hearts. You conceived evil thoughts and thus incurred damnation." |
| 50.41 | And listen! The Day when the Caller will call out from a place quite near, |
| 50.42 | the Day when the people will hear the mighty blast in reality; that will be the Day of coming forth (the dead will rise from their graves). |
| 50.43 | Surely it is We Who give life and death; and to Us shall all return, |
| 50.44 | on that Day when the earth shall split asunder and the people shall be rushing out of it; that gathering them together shall be quite easy for Us. |
| 3.172 | As for those, who, even after their injuries during the battle of Uhud, responded to the call of Allah and His Rasool to follow the Qureysh army which was gathering to attack again, there will be a great reward for such of those who do righteous deeds and refrain from evil, |
| 3.173 | and who, when the people told them: "Your enemies have mustered a great force against you: fear them," grew more firm in their faith and replied: "Allah's help is all-sufficient for us. He is the best protector." |
| 3.174 | As a result they returned home with blessings and grace from Allah and suffered no harm at all. Besides this, they had the honor of following what pleased Allah, and Allah is the Owner of mighty grace. |
Call of Allah
| 2.186 | When my servants question you about Me, tell them that I am very close to them. I answer the prayer of every suppliant when he calls Me; therefore, they should respond to Me and put their trust in Me, so that they may be rightly guided. |
Calling
| 42.15 | Therefore, call them to the true Deen, stay firm on the Right Way as you are commanded and do not follow their vain desires. Tell them: "I believe in whatever Allah has revealed from the Book and I am commanded to do justice between you. Allah is Our Rabb and your Rabb. We are responsible for Our deeds and you for yours. Let there be no dispute among us. Allah will bring us all together on the Day of Judgement and decide as to who is right and who is wrong. Towards Him lies the goal. |
| 3.59 | In fact the example of the birth of Isa ( Jesus) in the sight of Allah is like the example of Adam who had no father and mother, whom He created out of dust, then said to him: "Be" and he was. |
| 3.60 | This is the Truth from your Rabb, therefore, do not be of those who doubt it. |
| 3.61 | If anyone disputes with you concerning this matter (the birth of Jesus) after full knowledge has come to you, say: "Come! Let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray and invoke the curse of Allah on the liars." |
| 3.62 | Verily this is the absolute true explanation. The fact of the matter is, that there is no god but Allah; and for sure Allah is the Mighty, the Wise. |
| 3.63 | But if they turn away from accepting this challenge, it will be clear proof of their mischief and Allah has the full knowledge of mischief-makers. |
| 3.64 | Say: "O people of the Book! Let us get together on what is common between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah; that we shall not associate any partners with Him; that we shall not take from among ourselves any lords beside Allah." If they reject your invitation then tell them: "Bear witness that we are Muslims (who have surrendered to Allah)." |
| 3.78 | There are some among them who twist their tongues pretending a quote from their Holy Book; so that you may think that what they read is a part of the Book, whereas, in fact it is not a part of the Book. They also assert, "It is from Allah" whereas, in fact it is not from Allah. Thus they deliberately ascribe a lie to Allah. |
| 3.79 | It is not possible for a man whom Allah has given the Book, the Wisdom and the Prophethood, that he would say to the people: "Worship me instead of Allah." On the contrary he would say: "Be devoted worshippers of your Rabb in accordance with the Holy Book you have been teaching and reading." |
| 3.80 | He would never ask you to take angels and prophets as your lords. Would he ask you to become kafir (unbelievers) after you have become Muslims (believers)? |
| 49.4 | Those who call out to you, O Muhammad, from outside the private apartments, most of them lack common sense. |
| 49.5 | If only they had patience until you could come out to them, it would certainly be better for them. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
| 7.193 | If you invite them to guidance they will not follow you. It will be all the same for you whether you call them or hold your peace. |
| 7.198 | If you call them to guidance, they cannot even hear what you say, although it appears as if they are looking at you, they do not see. |
Calling On
| 17.67 | Whenever any adversity strikes you at sea, all those to whom you pray besides Him forsake you except He; yet when He brings you safe to the land, you turn your backs upon Him. Indeed, man is ever ungrateful. |
| 22.12 | Then instead of Allah, he starts calling those deities who can neither harm nor help him; now that is going too far off in deviation from the Right Way. |
| 22.13 | He is calling upon those who are more likely to harm than help; what an evil master and what an evil friend he chooses for help! |
| 22.62 | That is because Allah is the One Who is Real; and all those deities besides Him, whom they invoke, are false; indeed it is Allah Who is the Supreme, the Great. |
| 26.213 | So do not call on other gods besides Allah, lest you become one of those who incur His punishment. |
| 28.88 | Invoke no other god besides Allah. There is no god but Him. Everything is perishable except Him. To him belongs the judgement and to him will you all be returned. |
| 35.13 | He causes the night to pass into the day and the day into the night, and He has made the sun and the moon to serve you; each one follows its course for an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Rabb; His is the kingdom; and those to whom you pray besides Him do not even own a thread of a date-stone. |
| 35.14 | If you pray to them they cannot hear your prayers and even if they could hear you they could not answer you. On the Day of Resurrection they will deny your associating them with Allah. O mankind! None can inform you about all this except the One Who is All-Aware. |
| 40.66 | O Prophet, tell them: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom you invoke besides Allah. How can I do this when clear revelations have come to me from my Rabb, and I have been commanded to submit myself to the Rabb of the worlds." |
| 46.4 | Ask them: "Have you pondered on those whom you invoke besides Allah? Show me anything that they have created in the earth, or do they have any share in the creation of the heavens? Bring me any Book revealed before this, or some remnant of divine knowledge in support of your beliefs if you are telling the truth." |
| 46.5 | And who could be more astray than the one who invokes those deities besides Allah who cannot answer him till the Day of Resurrection - which, in fact, are not even aware that they are being invoked? |
| 46.6 | And when mankind shall be assembled on the Day of Judgement, they will become enemies of those who invoked them and deny their worship altogether. |
| 51.51 | Do not set up another god besides Allah, surely I am assigned by Him as a plain Warner to you all." |
| 52.43 | Do they have a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah, far above those deities they associate with Him. |
| 4.117 | The pagans call upon female deities beside Him; by doing so they call nothing but the rebellious Shaitan |
| 7.37 | Who can be more unjust than the one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His revelations? Such people will have their destined portion from the Book (what was written for them to receive during their life on earth); until when Our messengers (angels of death) arrive to take away their souls, they will ask: "Where are those gods whom you used to invoke besides Allah?" They will reply: "They have forsaken us" and they will bear witness against themselves (admit) that they were indeed kuffar (unbelievers). |
| 7.38 | Allah will say: "Enter the fire and join the nations of Jinns and men who have gone before you." As each nation will enter hell, it will curse its preceding sister till all are gathered there, the last of them will say about the first one: "Our Rabb! These have led us astray; therefore, give them double punishment of the fire." He will answer: "There will be double for all, although you may not know because of being predecessor or successor in sin and aggression." |
| 7.39 | Then the first will say to the last: "If we were to blame, you too, were no better than us; now taste the punishment of your misdeeds." |
| 26.213 | So do not call on other gods besides Allah, lest you become one of those who incur His punishment. |
| 43.86 | And those to whom they invoke besides Him, have no power to intercede for them except those who testify to the truth by virtue of knowledge. |
| 35.13 | He causes the night to pass into the day and the day into the night, and He has made the sun and the moon to serve you; each one follows its course for an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Rabb; His is the kingdom; and those to whom you pray besides Him do not even own a thread of a date-stone. |
| 35.14 | If you pray to them they cannot hear your prayers and even if they could hear you they could not answer you. On the Day of Resurrection they will deny your associating them with Allah. O mankind! None can inform you about all this except the One Who is All-Aware. |
| 35.40 | O Prophet, say: "Have you ever considered your associate gods to whom you call upon besides Allah? Show me anything that they have created in the earth! Or what is their share in the creation of the heavens? Or have We given them a Book from which they derive a provision of shirk? Nay, in fact the wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions. |
| 35.41 | It is Allah Who keeps the heavens and the earth from slipping out of their places. Should they ever slip, none can hold them back besides Him; certainly He is Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. |
| 46.4 | Ask them: "Have you pondered on those whom you invoke besides Allah? Show me anything that they have created in the earth, or do they have any share in the creation of the heavens? Bring me any Book revealed before this, or some remnant of divine knowledge in support of your beliefs if you are telling the truth." |
| 46.5 | And who could be more astray than the one who invokes those deities besides Allah who cannot answer him till the Day of Resurrection - which, in fact, are not even aware that they are being invoked? |
| 46.6 | And when mankind shall be assembled on the Day of Judgement, they will become enemies of those who invoked them and deny their worship altogether. |
| 72.18 | Mosques are built for Allah's worship; therefore, invoke not anyone along with Allah. |
| 72.19 | Yet, when Allah's servant Muhammad stood up to invoke Him, they (unbelievers) were ready to attack him." |
| 72.20 | O Prophet, say: "I pray only to my Rabb and worship none besides Him." |
Calling On Allah
| 30.33 | When an affliction befalls the people, they turn in prayer to their Rabb in repentance. But when He let them taste a blessing from Him, lo! Some of them start committing shirk, |
| 30.34 | showing no gratitude for What We have given them. Enjoy yourselves; soon you will find out your folly. |
| 39.49 | Man is such that when he is in trouble he appeals to Us; but when We bestow Our favor upon him, he says: "This has been given to me because of certain knowledge I possess." Nay! It is but a test, yet most of them do not know. |
| 39.50 | The same was said by those who passed before them, but they gained nothing from what they did |
| 39.51 | and the evil consequences of their deeds overtook them. Very soon, the wrongdoers among these people will also be overtaken by the evil consequences of their misdeeds and they will not be able to escape. |
| 30.36 | When We give mankind a taste of blessing, they rejoice, but when some evil afflicts them because of their own misdeeds, lo! They are in despair. |
| 39.49 | Man is such that when he is in trouble he appeals to Us; but when We bestow Our favor upon him, he says: "This has been given to me because of certain knowledge I possess." Nay! It is but a test, yet most of them do not know. |
| 39.50 | The same was said by those who passed before them, but they gained nothing from what they did |
| 39.51 | and the evil consequences of their deeds overtook them. Very soon, the wrongdoers among these people will also be overtaken by the evil consequences of their misdeeds and they will not be able to escape. |
| 18.28 | 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. |
| 7.56 | Do not create mischief in the land after it has been set in order. Pray to Him with fear and hope. Surely the mercy of Allah is always close to those who do good to others. |
| 32.15 | Only those people believe in Our revelations, who, when they are reminded of them, prostrate themselves in adoration and celebrate the praises of their Rabb and are not puffed up with pride. |
| 32.16 | Who forsake their beds and invoke their Rabb with fear and hope; and they spend in charity out of the sustenance which We have given them. |
| 7.55 | Call on your Rabb with humility and in private; for He does not love the transgressors. |
| 17.110 | O Prophet, say to them: "Whether you call Him Allah or call Him Rahman; it is all the same by whichever name you call Him because for Him are all the Finest names. Offer your Salah neither in too loud a voice nor in too low a voice but seek a middle course |
| 13.14 | Praying to Him Alone is the right thing. The other deities they pray to, besides Him, cannot answer their prayers. They are like a man who stretches forth his hands to the water and asks it to reach his mouth. It cannot reach his mouth this way; likewise the prayer of the unbelievers is nothing but a fruitless effort. |
| 7.55 | Call on your Rabb with humility and in private; for He does not love the transgressors. |
Camel
| 88.17 | Do they not look at the camels, how they were created? |
| 22.36 | We have included the sacrificial camels among the Symbols of Allah, for there is much good for you in them. Therefore, pronounce the name of Allah over them while standing, and when they fall down on their sides after slaughter, when their movement completely stops, then eat of their meat, feed the contented (poor who do not ask) and the beggars (poor who ask). Thus We have subjected these animals to you so that you may be grateful. |

Canonical Salaats
| 2.238 | Guard your Salah (obligatory regular prayers) especially the middle Salah and stand up with true devotion to Allah. |
| 11.114 | Establish Salah ( prayers) at the two ends of the day and in the early part of the night. Indeed virtues remove evils. This is a reminder for the mindful. |
| 17.78 | Establish Salah from the decline of the sun till the darkness of the night (Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha) and read at Fajr (dawn); for the reading at Fajr is witnessed (by the angels). |
| 17.79 | During a part of the night, pray Tahajjud, an additional prayer for you (O Muhammad), very soon your Rabb may exalt you to 'Maqam-e-Mahmood' (a station of great glory). |
| 20.130 | Therefore be patient with what they say. Glorify your Rabb with His praise before sunrise and before sunset, glorify Him during the hours of the night as well as at the ends of the day, so that you may find satisfaction. |
| 30.17 | Therefore, glorify Allah in the evening and in the morning |
| 30.18 | - all praise is due to Him in the heavens and the earth - so glorify Him in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline. |
Capacity
| 23.62 | We charge no soul with more than it can bear; We have a Book of record which shall clearly tell the truth, and they shall not be treated unjustly. |
| 6.135 | O Muhammad, tell them: "O my people! If you don't listen to me, do whatever you want and I'll do whatever I deem right; you will soon find out who is to gain the reward of the hereafter; rest assured that the wrongdoers will not get salvation." |
