Doubting Allah
Dower
| 2.229 | Pronouncement of revocable divorce is only allowed twice: then she should be allowed to stay with honor or let go with kindness after the third pronouncement. It is not lawful for husbands to take anything back which they have given them except when both parties fear that they may not be able to follow the limits set by Allah; then if you fear that they both will not be able to keep the limits of Allah, there is no blame if, by mutual agreement the wife compensates the husband to obtain divorce. These are the limits set by Allah; do not transgress them, and those who transgress the limits of Allah are the wrongdoers. |
| 4.4 | At the time of marriage, give the women their dowries willingly as an obligation; but if they, by their own free will, give up to you a portion of it then you may enjoy it with pleasure. |
| 4.19 | O believers! It is not lawful for you consider women as a part of your inheritance and retain them against their will in order that you may force them to give up a part of the dowry you have given them, unless they are guilty of proven fornication. Treat them with kindness even if you dislike them; it is quite possible that you dislike something in which Allah has placed much good. |
Dower
| 4.25 | If any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman, let him marry one of his own slave girls who is a believer; Allah knows how good you are in your faith. You all belong to one and the same community. Marry them with the permission of their family and give them their fair dowry so that they may live a decent life in wedlock and not live as prostitutes or look for secret illicit relationships. Then if after marriage they commit adultery, they shall be given half the punishment prescribed for a free adulteress. The concession of such a marriage is for those of you who fear that they might commit a sin if they do not get married, but it is better for you to practice self-restraint. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |

| 4.20 | If you wish to marry another wife in place of the one you already have, do not take back anything of what you have given her even if it be a heap of gold. Would you take it back through slander and open sin (accusing her unjustly)? |
| 4.21 | And how could you take it back when you have enjoyed conjugal happiness and she had taken from you a firm pledge of marriage? |

| 2.236 | There is no blame on you if you divorce women before the marriage is consummated or the dowry is settled. Pay them something anyhow, the rich man according to his means and poor according to his, a reasonable amount in all fairness. This is an obligation on the righteous people. |
| 2.237 | And if you divorce them before the marriage is consummated but after the fixation of a dowry, give them half of their dowry unless the woman wants to waive it or the man in whose hand is the marriage tie is generous enough (to pay the dowry in full). It is more appropriate that the man should act generously. Do not forget to show kindness to each other. Surely Allah observes your actions. |

| 60.10 | O believers! When the believing women seek refuge with you, test them. Allah best knows their faith. If you find them true believers, do not send them back to the unbelievers. They are not lawful to the unbelievers, nor are the unbelievers lawful to them. Return to their unbelieving husbands what they have spent on them. There is no blame on you if you marry such women, provided you give them their dowers. Do not hold on to your marriages with unbelieving women. Demand what you have spent on them and let the unbelievers do the same. This is the order of Allah which He has decreed between you. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. |
| 60.11 | If you do not get back the demanded amount that you have spent on your disbelieving wives from the unbelievers, and your turn comes, to pay the demanded amount of Muslim wives to the unbelievers, you can offset the amount and pay those whose wives have fled the equivalent of the amount they have spent on their disbelieving wives. Fear Allah, in Whom you believe. |

| 4.24 | Also forbidden for you are married women, except those who have fallen in your hands as prisoners of war. This is the order of Allah relating to marriage prohibitions. All women other than these are lawful provided you seek them in marriage with gifts from your property (dowry), desiring chastity and not lust. Give them their dowry as an obligation for the benefit you have received from your marriage relationship. However, there is no blame on you if you change the agreement of dowry with mutual consent. Allah is the Knowledgeable, Wise. |
| 33.50 | O Prophet! We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have given their dowers; and those ladies whom your right hands possess (from the prisoners of war) whom Allah has assigned to you; and the daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and aunts, who have migrated with you; and the believing woman who gave herself to the Prophet if the Prophet desires to marry her - this permission is only for you and not for the other believers; We know what restrictions We have imposed on the other believers concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess. We have granted you this privilege as an exception so that no blame may be attached to you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
Drawing
| 24.31 | Likewise enjoin the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their modesty; not to display their beauty and ornaments except what normally appears thereof; let them draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their charms except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their own sons, their stepsons, their own brothers, their nephews on either brothers' or sisters' sides, their own womenfolk, their own slaves, male attendants who lack sexual desires or small children who have no carnal knowledge of women. Also enjoin them not to strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden trinkets. And O believers! Turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, about your past mistakes, so that you may attain salvation. |

Drawing Near To
| 96.19 | Nay! Do not obey him! Prostrate yourself and bring yourself closer to your Rabb. |
| 30.51 | And if We send a wind which turns their crops yellow, behold they will become even more firm in their disbelief. |
Drinking
| 2.187 | It is made lawful for you to approach your wives during the night of the fast; they are an apparel for you and you for them. Allah knows that you were committing dishonesty to your souls. So He has relented towards you and pardoned you. Now, you may approach your wives and seek what Allah has written for you. Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread of night, then complete your fast till nightfall. Do not approach your wives during I'htikaf (retreat in the mosques in last ten days of Ramadhan). These are the limits set by Allah: do not ever violate them. Thus Allah makes His revelations clear to mankind so that they may guard themselves against evil. |
| 56.70 | If it be Our Will, We could turn it salty. Why then do you not give thanks? |
Drinks
| 2.2 | This is The Book in which there is no doubt. (Since its Author, Allah, the Creator of this universe, possesses complete knowledge, there is no room for doubt about its contents.) It is a guide for those who are God conscious, |
| 2.3 | who believe in the Unseen, who establish Salah (five regular daily prayers) and spend in charity out of what We have provided for their sustenance; |
| 2.4 | who believe in this Revelation (The Qur'an) which is sent to you (O Muhammad) and the Revelations which were sent before you (Torah, Psalms, Gospel...) and firmly believe in the Hereafter. |
| 2.5 | They are on True Guidance from their Rabb and they are the ones who will attain salvation. |
| 2.6 | In fact, as for those who reject Faith; it is the same, whether you warn them or you don't, they will not believe. |
| 2.7 | Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, their eyes are covered, and there is a grievous punishment for them. |
| 2.8 | There are some people who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" yet they are not true believers. |
| 2.9 | They try to deceive Allah and the believers. However, they deceive none except themselves yet they do not realize it. |
| 2.10 | There is a disease of deception in their heart; and Allah lets their disease increase, and they shall have painful punishment for the lies they have told. |
| 2.11 | When it is said to them: "Do not make mischief on earth," they say: "We make peace." |
| 2.12 | Be aware! They are the ones who make mischief but they do not realize it. |
| 2.13 | When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe" they sarcastically ask: "Should we believe like fools?" Be aware! They themselves are the fools, if only they could understand. |
| 2.14 | When they meet the believers they say: "We are believers," but when they are alone with their shaitans, they say: "We are really with you, we were only mocking the believers." |
| 2.15 | Allah will throw back their mockery on them and leave them alone in their trespasses; so they wander to and fro like blind. |
| 2.16 | These are the people who barter guidance for error: but their bargain is profitless and they are not going to be guided. |
| 2.17 | Their example is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it illuminated all around him Allah took away the light (their eyesight) and left them in utter darkness: they could see nothing. |
| 2.18 | Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will never return to the Right Way. |
| 2.19 | Or another example is that of a dark storm-cloud in the sky charged with thunder and lightning. They press their fingers into their ears at the sound of each stunning thunderclap for fear of death: Allah is encircling the unbelievers from all sides. |
| 5.90 | O believers! Intoxicants and gambling (games of chance), dedication to stones (paying tribute to idols) and division by arrows (lottery) are the filthy works of Shaitan. Get away from them, so that you may prosper. |
| 5.91 | Shaitan desires to stir up enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling and to prevent you from the remembrance of Allah and from Salah (prayers). Will you not abstain? |
Driving Out
| 2.191 | Kill them wherever they confront you in combat and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you. Though killing is bad, creating mischief is worse than killing. Do not fight them within the precincts of the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there; but if they attack you put them to the sword; that is the punishment for such unbelievers. |
Drowning.
| 54.11 | So We opened the gates of heaven with pouring rain |
| 54.12 | and caused the earth to burst with gushing springs, and the waters met to fulfill the decreed end. |
| 54.13 | We carried him in an Ark built with planks and nails, |
| 54.14 | which drifted on under Our care: a reward for him (Noah) who was denied by the unbelievers. |
| 54.15 | We have left that Ark as a sign, so is there any who would take admonition? |
| 54.16 | How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning! |
| 26.119 | So We granted his prayer, delivered him and those with him in the laden ark, |
| 26.120 | and drowned the rest in the flood. |
| 26.121 | Surely in this story there is a great lesson, but most of these people do not learn a lesson and become believers. |
| 54.16 | How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning! |
| 26.66 | and drowned the others. |
| 26.67 | Surely there is a lesson in this: yet most of these people do not learn this lesson to become believers. |
| 26.68 | The fact is that your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful. |
Duty
| 4.1 | O mankind! Have fear of your Rabb, the One who created you from a single soul, from that soul He created its mate, and through them He spread countless men and women. Fear Allah, the One in whose name you demand your rights from one another and the ties of relationship; surely Allah is watching you very closely. |
| 5.99 | The only duty of the Rasool is to pass on My Message. Allah knows all what you reveal and what you conceal. |
