Left Hand
Companions of the
56 : 41
As for those of the left hand - how unfortunate will be thepeople of the left hand!
56 : 42
They will be in the midst of scorching winds and in boilingwater:
56 : 43
in the shade of a pitch-black smoke,
56 : 44
neither cool nor refreshing.
56 : 45
For they lived in comfort before meeting this fate.
56 : 46
They persisted in heinous sins
56 : 47
and used to say: "When we are dead and turned to dust and bones,shall we then be raised to life again?
56 : 48
And our forefathers, too?"
56 : 49
Tell them: "Surely those of old and those of present age
56 : 50
shall certainly be brought together on an appointed time of aknown Day.
56 : 51
Then, "O the mistaken rejecters,
56 : 52
you shall eat of the Zaqqum tree,
56 : 53
and fill your bellies with it;
56 : 54
and drink on top of it scalding water;
56 : 55
yet you shall drink it like a thirsty camel."
56 : 56
Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Reckoning.
56 : 92
And if he is one of the mistaken rejecters,
56 : 93
he is welcomed with scalding water,
56 : 94
and burning in hellfire.
56 : 95
Surely this is an absolute truth.

In regard to inheritance Allah commands you concerning yourchildren: that the share of a boy shall be twice that of a girl.In the case where there are more than two girls, their share willbe two thirds of the estate; but if there is only one girl, hershare will be one half of the estate. If the deceased leftchildren behind, each of the parents shall get one sixth of theestate, but if the deceased left no children and the parents arethe only heirs, the mother shall get one third of the estate, butif the deceased left brothers and sisters, then the mother willget one sixth of it. The distribution in all cases shall be afterfulfilling the terms of the last will and the payment of debts.With regards to your parents and your children, you do not knowwho is more beneficial to you, therefore, Allah issued thisordinance. Surely Allah is the Knowledgeable, Wise.

Lesson
Alternation of day and night, from the
24 : 44
Allah alternates the night and the day; there is indeed a lessonin it for those who possess insight.
28 : 71
O Prophet, ask them: "Have you ever considered that if Allah wereto make the night perpetual till the Day of Resurrection, whichdeity other than Allah could bring you light?" Will you notlisten?
28 : 72
Ask them again: "Have you ever considered that if Allah were tomake the day perpetual till the Day of Resurrection, which deityother than Allah could bring you the night in which you couldrest? Will you not see?
28 : 73
It is out of His mercy that He has made for you the night thatyou may rest in it, and the day that you may seek His bounty, sothat you may render thanks.
Battle of Badr, from the
3 : 13
Indeed there was a sign (lesson) for you in the two armies whichmet on the battlefield (of Badr): one was fighting for the causeof Allah and the other had rejected Allah; the believers saw withtheir own eyes that the unbelievers were twice their number. Butthe result of the battle proved that Allah strengthens with Hisown aid whom He pleases. Surely there is a lesson in this forthose who have sight.
Cattle, from
Cities of old, from the helpless destroyed
47 : 13
How many cities which were mightier than your city which hasdriven you out, have We destroyed for their disbelief, and therewas none to save them?
Consequence of rejecting Allah, taking of from the
16 : 36
No doubt We raised in every nation a Rasool, saying: "Serve Allahand keep away from Taghut (Satanic forces)." After that, Allahguided some of them while deviation proved true against theothers. So travel through the earth and see what was the end ofthose who denied Our Message.
Deliverance of Believers and Muttaqeen in the past, from the
41 : 18
but We saved those who believed and had the fear of Allah.
Destruction of Thamud, from the
27 : 50
Thus they plotted a plan, and We too plotted a plan which theydid not perceive.
27 : 51
Just see what was the outcome of their plot! We annihilated themcompletely, together with all their people.
27 : 52
There lies their houses in desolate ruins as a result of theirwrongdoings. Verily in this story there is a lesson for thosepeople who use their common sense.
Example of Abraham and his followers, from the
60 : 3
On the Day of Resurrection, neither your relatives nor yourchildren shall avail you. Allah will judge between you, and He isobserving all your actions.
60 : 4
You have an excellent example in Ibrahim (Abraham) and hiscompanions. They said to their people plainly: "We are clear ofyou and your gods, whom you worship besides Allah. We renounceyou. Enmity and hate shall reign between us forever until youbelieve in Allah, the One and Only God." But do not emulate whatIbrahim said to his father: "I will pray for your forgiveness,although I have no power to get anything for you from Allah."Their collective prayer was: "Our Rabb! In You we have put ourtrust, to You we turn in repentance and to You is our final goal.
60 : 5
Our Rabb! Do not expose us to the plots of the unbelievers.Forgive us, our Rabb! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
60 : 6
Truly, in those there is an excellent example for everyone whoputs their hopes in Allah and the Last Day. He that gives no heedshould know that Allah is free of all wants, worthy of allpraise.
Example of the disbelieving generations of old, taking of from the
15 : 10
Certainly We sent Rasools before you among the early nations;
15 : 11
but whenever a Rasool came to them, they mocked him.
15 : 12
Thus do We let doubt creep into the hearts of the criminals;
15 : 13
that they do not believe in it (The Qur'an), despite the examplesof the people who passed before them.
15 : 14
Even if we had opened a gate in Heaven and they ascend through itand keep on ascending,
15 : 15
still they would have said, 'Our eyes have been dazzled; ratherwe have been bewitched.'"
Exile of the Banu Nadir Jews, warning through that from the
59 : 2
It is He Who drove the disbelievers from among the People of theBook (reference is to the Jewish tribe of Banu Al-Nadir) out oftheir homes at the first banishment. You did not think that theywould ever go out; and they thought that their fortresses woulddefend them from Allah, but the wrath of Allah came to them fromwhere they never expected - which casted such terror into theirhearts - that they destroyed their homes by their own hands aswell as by the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson fromthis example! O the people of insight.
59 : 3
Had Allah not decreed exile for them, He would certainly havepunished them in this world, and in the hereafter there shall bethe punishment of the fire for them,
59 : 4
because they set themselves up against Allah and His Rasool; andhe that set himself up against Allah should know that Allah isstern in retribution.
Fate of 'Aad, from the
54 : 18
Likewise the people of 'Ad did not believe then how terrible wasMy scourge and how clear My Warning!
54 : 19
We let loose on them a tornado, on the day of their bittermisfortune,
54 : 20
which snatched them off like trunks of uprooted palm-trees.
54 : 21
How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning!
Fate of the disbelieving generations of old, taking of from the
54 : 51
O disbelievers, We have already destroyed many like you. Will younot take admonition?
64 : 5
Have you not heard of those who disbelieved before you? So theytasted the evil result of their deeds, and in the Hereafter thereshall be a painful punishment for them.
64 : 6
That is because, when their Rasools came to them with clearrevelations, they said: "Are human beings going to guide us?" Sothey disbelieved and paid no heed. Allah has no need of suchpeople. Allah is free of all needs, worthy of all praise.
Fate of the People of Lot, from the
54 : 33
Another example is the people of Lut (Lot) who disbelieved Ourwarning.
54 : 34
We let loose on them a stone-charged tornado which spared noneexcept Lut's household, whom We saved by early dawn
54 : 36
Lut did warn them of Our scourge but they doubted his warnings.
54 : 37
They even sought to snatch away his guests from him but Weblinded their eyes, and said: "Now taste My punishment and theresult of disbelieving My warning."
54 : 38
At daybreak they were overtaken by a lasting punishment
54 : 39
as if to say: "Now taste My punishment and the result ofdisbelieving My warning."
Fate of the People of Pharaoh, from the
Fate of Pharaoh for disobeying and rebelling against the Messenger of Allah, from the
Fate of Pharaoh as warning and, the
Fate of Thamud, from the
54 : 23
The people of Thamud disbelieved Our warning,
54 : 24
saying: "Are we to follow a human who stands alone among us? Thatwould surely be an error and madness.
54 : 25
Was he the only person among us to receive this warning? Nay! Heis indeed an insolent liar."
54 : 26
To Our Rasool Saleh, We said: "Tomorrow they shall find out whois an insolent liar.
54 : 27
We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them.Therefore, watch them and have patience.
54 : 28
Tell them that the water must be shared between them and theshe-camel, and each will come to the water at its own turn.
54 : 29
At last the people of Thamud called out to one of theircompanions, who took the responsibility and hamstrung her.
54 : 30
Then how terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning!
54 : 31
We let loose on them one mighty blast and they became like thetrampled twigs used by a fence builder.
Flood of Noah, from the
Generations of old who ridiculed prophets, taking of from the
People of Lot, from the
Punishment to 'Aad, from the
41 : 13
Now if they turn away, say to them: "I have given you warning ofa thunderbolt, like the thunderbolt which struck Ad and Thamud."
41 : 14
When their Rasools came to them from before and from behind,saying: "Worship none but Allah." They replied: "If our Rabbwanted to send us a message, He would certainly have sent downangels, so we categorically deny the message with which you aresent."
41 : 15
As for `Ad, they conducted themselves with arrogance in the landwithout any justification and said: "Who is stronger than us inmight?" Could they not see that Allah Who created them, wasmightier than them? Yet they continued to reject Our revelations.
41 : 16
So, over a few ill-omened days, We let loose on them a furioushurricane to make them taste a shameful scourge in this life, butmore shameful still will be the punishment of the hereafter, andthey shall have none to help them.
41 : 17
As for Thamud, We offer them Our guidance, but they preferred toremain blind rather than to receive guidance towards the RightWay; so the thunderbolt of humiliating scourge seized them fortheir misdeeds,
41 : 18
but We saved those who believed and had the fear of Allah.
69 : 4
The Thamud and the 'Ad people denied the striking calamity.
69 : 5
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the Thunderbolt.
69 : 6
As for 'Ad they were destroyed by a furious windstorm
69 : 7
- which He let loose on them for seven nights and eightsuccessive days. Had you been there, you would have seen themlying prostrate as though they were hollow trunks of thepalm-trees.
69 : 8
Now, do you see any of them alive?
Punishment to the disbelieving generations of old, taking of from the
25 : 40
These unbelievers must have passed by that town which wasdestroyed by a fatal rain; had they not seen its ruins? But thefact of the matter is they do not believe in the life hereafter.
Punishment to Thamud, from the
41 : 13
Now if they turn away, say to them: "I have given you warning ofa thunderbolt, like the thunderbolt which struck Ad and Thamud."
41 : 14
When their Rasools came to them from before and from behind,saying: "Worship none but Allah." They replied: "If our Rabbwanted to send us a message, He would certainly have sent downangels, so we categorically deny the message with which you aresent."

As for Thamud, We offer them Our guidance, but they preferred toremain blind rather than to receive guidance towards the RightWay; so the thunderbolt of humiliating scourge seized them fortheir misdeeds,
41 : 18
but We saved those who believed and had the fear of Allah.

The Thamud and the 'Ad people denied the striking calamity.
69 : 5
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the Thunderbolt.
69 : 6
As for 'Ad they were destroyed by a furious windstorm
69 : 7
- which He let loose on them for seven nights and eightsuccessive days. Had you been there, you would have seen themlying prostrate as though they were hollow trunks of thepalm-trees.
69 : 8
Now, do you see any of them alive?
Remains of the punished People of Lot, from the
29 : 35
Surely We have left a clear sign from it (the ruins of this town)for people who care to understand.
Rescue of Lot for his gratitude to Allah, from the
Saving of Noah and drowning of disbelievers, from the
54 : 11
So We opened the gates of heaven with pouring rain
54 : 12
and caused the earth to burst with gushing springs, and thewaters 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 wasdenied by the unbelievers.
54 : 15
We have left that Ark as a sign, so is there any who would takeadmonition?
54 : 16
How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning!
Shade, from
Sinful generations of old, taking of from the
40 : 21
Have they not travelled through the land and seen what was theend of those who have gone before them? They were far greater inpower than these and left great traces in the land: but Allahseized them for their sins and there was none to protect themfrom Allah.
40 : 82
Have they never travelled through the earth and seen what was theend of those who have gone before them? They were more in numberand superior in strength than these and they have left behindgreat traces of their power in the land; yet all that they didwas of no avail to them.
40 : 83
When their Rasools came to them with clear revelations, theyproudly boasted about their own knowledge; but the veryforewarned scourge at which they mocked, hemmed them in.
40 : 84
When they saw Our scourge, they cried out: "We believe in Allah,the One and Only, and we reject all those gods whom we used toassociate with Him."
40 : 85
But after seeing Our scourge, their professing the faith (Islam)was of no use to them; such was the practice of Allah in dealingwith His servants in the past, and thus the disbelievers werelost.
50 : 36
How many generations, far stronger in power, have We destroyedbefore them! They searched the entire land: but could they findany refuge?
50 : 37
Surely in this there is a lesson for every person who has aheart, and can hear and witness.
Wrong-doing generations of old, taking of from the
14 : 45
When you lived among those people who had wronged their souls, itwas explained to you how We dealt with them and We even describedfor you their examples."
Lewdness
Captive married women, punishment for that committed by
4 : 25
If any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman, lethim marry one of his own slave girls who is a believer; Allahknows how good you are in your faith. You all belong to one andthe same community. Marry them with the permission of theirfamily and give them their fair dowry so that they may live adecent life in wedlock and not live as prostitutes or look forsecret illicit relationships. Then if after marriage they commitadultery, they shall be given half the punishment prescribed fora free adulteress. The concession of such a marriage is for thoseof you who fear that they might commit a sin if they do not getmarried, but it is better for you to practice self-restraint.Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Pilgrimage, while on the
2 : 197
Hajj is in the well known months. He who undertakes to perform itmust abstain from husband-wife relationship, obscene language,and wrangling during Hajj. Whatever good you do, Allah knows it.Take necessary provisions with you for the journey, and piety isthe best provision of all. Fear Me, O people endowed withunderstanding.
Punishment for that committed by women
4 : 15
If any of your women are guilty of fornication, ask for fourreliable witnesses from among yourselves against them; and ifthey testify and their guilt is proved, confine them to theirhouses until they die or Allah opens some other way out for them.

O Prophet! If you and the believers divorce your wives, divorcethem at the end of their prescribed periods, and count theirprescribed periods accurately. Fear Allah, your Rabb. Do notexpel them from their homes during their waiting period, nor theythemselves should leave, unless they have committed an openlewdness. These are limits set by Allah; he that transgresses thelimits of Allah will wrong his own soul. You never know, Allahmay, thereafter, bring about some new situation ofreconciliation.

O wives of the Prophet! If any of you were guilty of openindecency, her punishment will be increased to double and this iseasy for Allah.
Women, by

If any of your women are guilty of fornication, ask for fourreliable witnesses from among yourselves against them; and ifthey testify and their guilt is proved, confine them to theirhouses until they die or Allah opens some other way out for them.
4 : 19
O believers! It is not lawful for you consider women as a part ofyour inheritance and retain them against their will in order thatyou may force them to give up a part of the dowry you have giventhem, unless they are guilty of proven fornication. Treat themwith kindness even if you dislike them; it is quite possible thatyou dislike something in which Allah has placed much good.

10 : 30
Thereupon, every soul shall know what it had sent forth, as theywill be brought in the Court of Allah, their true Patron, andtheir invented falsehoods will leave them in the lurch.
60 : 12
O Prophet! When the believing women come to you to take the oathof allegiance , take their pledge: that they will not commitshirk with Allah, that they will not steal, that they will notcommit adultery, that they will not kill their children, thatthey will not give any cause for scandal which they may inventbetween either their hands or legs (a woman accusing anotherwoman of having an illicit relationship with a man and spreadssuch stories - or - a woman carrying an illegitimate child andmakes her husband believe that it is his), and that they will notdisobey you in any just matter, then accept their allegiance andpray to Allah for the forgiveness. Surely Allah is Oft-Forgiving,most Merciful.
Shunning during the Pilgrimage
22 : 27
and make a proclamation of Hajj (Pilgrimage) to mankind: theywill come to you on foot and on lean camels from every distantquarter,
22 : 28
so that they may witness the benefits which are made availablehere for them, and pronounce the name of Allah over the cattlewhich We have provided as food for them, on the appointed days,then eat meat themselves and feed the indigent and needy.
22 : 29
Then they should accomplish their needful acts of shaving orcutting their hair and taking a bath, fulfill their vows and gofor Tawaf-e-Ziyarah to the Ancient House.
22 : 30
This was the object for which the Ka'bah was built, and whoeverhonors the sacred rites of Allah, it is good for him in the sightof his Rabb. The meat of cattle is lawful to you, except what hasalready been mentioned to you; therefore, shun the abomination ofidols and shun all false statements.
Lies About Allah
Inventing
3 : 93
All food, that is lawful in Islamic Law, was also Halal (lawful)for the children of Israel except what Israel (Ya'qoob) madeHaram (unlawful) for himself before the Taurat (Torah) wasrevealed to Musa. Ask them: "Bring the Taurat (Torah) and read apassage from it in support of your objection, if what you say istrue."
3 : 94
Then whoever fabricates a lie against Allah after this, willindeed be unjust.
4 : 50
See how they invent a lie against Allah, and this in itself isenough to show their manifest sin.
5 : 103
Allah did not institute superstitions like those of a slit-earshe-camel or a she-camel let loose for free pasture or idolsacrifices for twin-births in animals or stallion-camels freedfrom work; this lie is invented by the unbelievers against Allah,and most of them lack understanding.
6 : 21
Who can be more wicked than a person who forges a lie againstAllah or denies His revelations? Surely the wrongdoers shallnever get salvation.
6 : 93
Who can be more wicked than the one who invents a lie againstAllah, or says: "This was revealed to me," while nothing wasrevealed to him? Or the one who says: "I can reveal the like ofwhat Allah has revealed?" If you could only see these wrongdoerswhen they are in the agonies of death and the angels stretchforth their hands saying, "Take out your soul! Today you will berewarded with a disgraceful punishment for saying falsehoodagainst Allah which you had no right to say and showing arroganceagainst His revelations!"
6 : 94
Allah adds to what the angels said, "So you have come back to UsAlone as We created you at the first time, leaving behind allthat which We gave you in that world and We don't see with youyour intercessors, whom you claimed to be Allah's partners inyour affairs; all your ties have been cut off and what youpresumed has failed you."
6 : 138
These mushrikin say that such and such cattle and crops arereserved, in the name of such and such temple, and no one shouldeat except those whom we permit - in fact these restrictions theythemselves have imposed. Then there are some animals which theyhave prohibited from riding or carrying loads, and there arestill other animals over which they do not pronounce the name ofAllah. They have falsely attributed all these things to Him. SoonHe will requite them for their invented lies.
6 : 139
They also say: "The offspring of these cattle is speciallyreserved for our males and forbidden to our females but if it isstillborn then all can share together." Soon He will punish themfor their attribution of such superstitions to Allah. Surely Heis Wise, Knowledgeable.
6 : 140
Actual losers are those who kill their own children foolishlywithout knowledge and forbid food which Allah has provided them,falsely ascribing prohibitions to Allah. Certainly they have goneastray and are not at all rightly guided.
6 : 143
For eight heads of cattle, male and female, there aresuperstitions. Take a pair of sheep and a pair of goats, forexample, and ask them, "Of these, has He forbidden you the males,females or their fetuses? Answer me based on knowledge, notsuperstition, if what you say is true."
6 : 144
Likewise ask them about a pair of camels and a pair of cows, "Ofthese, has He forbidden you the males, females or their fetuses?"If they answer, then ask them: "Were you present when Allah gaveyou these commandments?" If not then Who can be more unjust thanthe one who forges a lie against Allah, so that he may misleadmankind without having any knowledge? Surely Allah does not guidethe unjust people.
7 : 37
Who can be more unjust than the one who invents a lie againstAllah or rejects His revelations? Such people will have theirdestined portion from the Book (what was written for them toreceive 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 bearwitness against themselves (admit) that they were indeed kuffar(unbelievers).
10 : 17
Who can be more unjust than the one who himself forges a lie,then ascribes it to Allah or falsifies His real Revelations?Indeed, such criminals can never prosper.
10 : 59
O Prophet, ask them: "Have you ever considered that out of thesustenance which Allah has given you, you yourselves have madesome things Halal (lawful) and others Haram (unlawful)? Ask them:"Did Allah permit you to do so, or do you ascribe a false thingto Allah?"
10 : 60
What treatment do they think those people will get, who ascribefalse things to Allah, on the Day of Resurrection? Indeed Allahis full of grace to mankind, but most of them are not grateful.
10 : 68
They (Jews and Christians) say: "Allah has begotten a son!" Glorybe to Him! He is self-sufficient! His is all that is in theHeavens and in the Earth! Have you any proof for what you say?Would you ascribe to Allah something about which you have noknowledge?
10 : 69
O Prophet, tell them: "Those who ascribe false things to Allahwill never prosper."
10 : 70
Well, they may have a little enjoyment in this world, buteventually they have to return to Us and then We will make themtaste the severest punishment for their unbelief.
11 : 18
Who can be more wrong than the one who forges a lie againstAllah? Such people will be brought before their Rabb, and thewitnesses will say: "These are the ones who lied against theirRabb." Beware! The Curse of Allah is on those wrongdoers
11 : 19
who hinder others from the path of Allah and seek to make itcrooked, and who deny the hereafter.
11 : 20
These people cannot frustrate His plan in the land and there isnone to protect them besides Allah. Their punishment shall bedoubled, for they could neither hear others who speak the Truthnor see the Truth for themselves.
11 : 21
They are the ones who have lost their own souls, and the fanciesthey invented have left them in the lurch.
11 : 22
No doubt they will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter.
16 : 116
You shall not falsely declare with your tongues: "This is lawful,and that is forbidden," in order to ascribe false things toAllah, for those who forge lies against Allah will never prosper.
16 : 117
Brief is their enjoyment of this life, and they shall have apainful punishment.
29 : 68
And who is more wicked than the one who forges a lie againstAllah or rejects the Truth when it reaches him? Is not the hell afitting abode for such disbelievers?
61 : 7
Who could be more wrong than the one who invents falsehoodsagainst Allah while he is being called towards Islam? Allah doesnot guide those who are wrongdoers.
61 : 8
They seek to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths, butAllah will perfect His Light, much as the unbelievers may dislikeit.
People of the Scripture, by the
3 : 73
Do not follow anyone except the one who follows your ownreligion." O Muhammad, tell them: "The only true guidance is theguidance of Allah." These people of the Book do not believe thatrevelation could be sent to anyone besides themselves, like thatwhich has been sent to you; or that they will ever argue with youin the presence of your Rabb. Tell them: "For sure, grace is inthe hands of Allah: He bestows it on whom He pleases; Allah hasboundless knowledge."
3 : 78
There are some among them who twist their tongues pretending aquote from their Holy Book; so that you may think that what theyread is a part of the Book, whereas, in fact it is not a part ofthe Book. They also assert, "It is from Allah" whereas, in factit is not from Allah. Thus they deliberately ascribe a lie toAllah.
3 : 79
It is not possible for a man whom Allah has given the Book, theWisdom and the Prophethood, that he would say to the people:"Worship me instead of Allah." On the contrary he would say: "Bedevoted worshippers of your Rabb in accordance with the Holy Bookyou 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 havebecome Muslims (believers)?
3 : 93
All food, that is lawful in Islamic Law, was also Halal (lawful)for the children of Israel except what Israel (Ya'qoob) madeHaram (unlawful) for himself before the Taurat (Torah) wasrevealed to Musa. Ask them: "Bring the Taurat (Torah) and read apassage from it in support of your objection, if what you say istrue."
3 : 94
Then whoever fabricates a lie against Allah after this, willindeed be unjust.
4 : 171
O People of the Book! Do not transgress the limits of yourreligion. Speak nothing but the Truth about Allah. The Messiah,Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary) was no more than a Rasool ofAllah and His Word "Be" which He bestowed on Maryam and a Spiritfrom Him which took the shape of a child in her womb. So believein Allah and His Rasools and do not say: "Trinity"." Stop sayingthat, it is better for you. Allah is only One Deity. He is farabove from the need of having a son! To Him belongs all that isin the heavens and in the Earth. Allah Alone is sufficient forprotection.
Life
Amending one's
7 : 35
O children of Adam! Whenever there come to you Rasools from amongyou and recite to you My revelations, those who will becomerighteous and mend their ways will have nothing to fear or toregret;
Aversion to striving with one's in the Way of Allah
9 : 81
Those who remained behind (did not join the Tabuk expedition)were delighted to sit inactive behind Allah's Rasool, and theyhated to make Jihad with their goods and their persons in thecause of Allah. They said to each other "Do not go forth in theheat." Say to them: "The fire of hell is much more severe inheat." If only they could understand!
9 : 82
Let them laugh a little; much will they weep as a recompense forwhat they have earned.
9 : 83
From now on, if Allah brings you among them and any of them askyour permission to go forth for Jihad, say: "You shall never beallowed to go forth with me nor fight an enemy in my company. Youchose to sit inactive on the first occasion, therefore you shallnow stay with those who stay behind."
9 : 84
You shall never offer funeral prayer for any of them who dies,nor shall you attend their burial, for they have denied Allah andHis Rasool and died while they were transgressors.
9 : 85
Let neither their wealth nor their children dazzle you. Throughthese Allah wants to punish them in this world and let theirsouls depart while they are still disbelievers.
9 : 86
Whenever a Surah is revealed, saying: " Believe in Allah and makeJihad along with His Rasool," capable people among them ask youfor exemption, saying: "Please leave us with those who are tostay at home."
9 : 87
They preferred to be with those who remain behind, as a result, aseal was set upon their hearts so that they do not understand.
Comfort of that of the world
9 : 38
O believers! What is the matter with you that when you are askedto march forth in the way of Allah, you cling to the earth? Doyou prefer the life of this world to the life of the hereafter?If it is so, then you should know that the comforts of this lifeare little compared to the life of the hereafter.
Deception of that of the world
31 : 33
O mankind! Have fear of your Rabb and fear that Day when nofather shall avail his son nor a son his father. Surely thepromise of Allah is true. Let not the life of this world deceiveyou, nor let the Deceiver (Shaitan) deceive you concerning Allah.
35 : 5
O mankind! Certainly the promise of Allah is true, therefore letnot the life of this world deceive you nor let the chief deceiver(Satan) deceive you about Allah.
57 : 20
You should know that the life of this world is only play andamusement, a show and boasting among yourselves, a quest forgreater riches and more children. Its similitude is that ofvegetation that flourish after rain: the growth of which delightsthe tillers, then it withers and you see it turn yellow, soon itbecomes dry and crumbles away. In the hereafter there will beeither severe punishment or forgiveness from Allah and His goodpleasure. The life of this world is nothing but an illusion.
Desiring that of the Hereafter
3 : 145
No one dies without the permission of Allah. The term of everylife is fixed. He that desires the reward in this world shall begiven it here, and he that desires the reward in the hereaftershall be given it there. Soon We will reward the thankful.
Desiring that of the world
10 : 7
As for those who do not hope to meet Us on the Day of Judgement,being well pleased and satisfied with this worldly life and thosewho give no heed to Our revelations,
10 : 8
they shall have the Fire as their abode because of what they hadearned (erroneous creed and wrong conduct).
11 : 15
Those who desire the life of this world and its splendors, theyare given full reward of their deeds therein and shall not bediminished.
11 : 16
They are the ones who will have nothing in the hereafter exceptHellfire. There they shall come to know that their deeds werefruitless and their actions were worthless.
17 : 18
He that desires the transitory things of this life, We readilygrant him such things as We please to whomsoever We want, then Wecondemn him to hell, where he will burn, disgraced and rejected.
53 : 29
Therefore, neglect those who ignore Our warnings and seek onlythe life of this world.
Desiring that of the world, withdrawing from those
12 : 29
O Yusuf, say no more about this, and you (O my wife) seekforgiveness for your sins, for you were indeed the wrongdoer."
Enjoyment of that of the world
Fleeting worldly, love of the
76 : 27
These unbelievers love the transitory life of this world andneglect the heavy Day that is coming ahead.
Fruits of works in
39 : 65
Tell them plainly because it has already been revealed to you asit was revealed to those before you that if you commit shirk, allyour deeds will become fruitless and you will surely be among thelosers."
39 : 66
Therefore, worship Allah and be among His thankful servants.
39 : 67
They have not recognized the worth of Allah as his worth shouldbe recognized. On the Day of Resurrection the whole earth shallbe in His grasp and all the heavens shall be rolled up in Hisright hand. Glory be to Him! Exalted be He above what theyassociate with Him.
Giving one's for the Pleasure of Allah
2 : 207
And among people there is one who would give away his life toseek the pleasure of Allah. Allah is affectionate to Hisdevotees.
Glitter of that of the world
33 : 28
O Prophet! Say to your wives: "If you desire the life of thisworld and its glitter, then come, I shall give you of these andlet you go in an honorable way."
Hereafter, of the
4 : 77
Have you not seen those who were told to restrain their handsfrom fighting, establish Salah (regular prayers) and pay Zakah(regular charity). Now when at length they are commanded tofight, lo! A group of them fear people as they should have fearedAllah, or even more than that, and say: "Our Rabb! Why have Youordered us to fight? Could you delay its implementation for awhile?" Tell them: "The enjoyment of this worldly life is short,life of the hereafter is much better for those who fear Allah,and rest assured that you will not be wronged equal to the fiberof a date-stone.
29 : 64
The life of this world is nothing but pastime and play! It is thelife of the hereafter that is the true life: if they but knew it.
57 : 20
You should know that the life of this world is only play andamusement, a show and boasting among yourselves, a quest forgreater riches and more children. Its similitude is that ofvegetation that flourish after rain: the growth of which delightsthe tillers, then it withers and you see it turn yellow, soon itbecomes dry and crumbles away. In the hereafter there will beeither severe punishment or forgiveness from Allah and His goodpleasure. The life of this world is nothing but an illusion.
87 : 16
But O men! You prefer the life of this world;
87 : 17
while the Hereafter is better and everlasting.
Jihad with one's
9 : 111
Indeed Allah has purchased from the believers their persons andtheir wealth and in return has promised them paradise; they fightin the cause of Allah and slay and are slain. This is a truepromise which is binding on Him mentioned in Taurat (Torah), theInjeel (Gospel) and the Qur'an; and who is more true infulfilling his promise than Allah? Rejoice, therefore, in thebargain which you have made, and that is a mighty achievement.
Love of that of the world
3 : 14
The life of men when they get to the age of puberty is tempted bydesire for women when they get married children, when they getchildren the hoarding of treasures of gold and silver, splendidhorses, cattle, and plantations. These are the comforts for thetransitory life of this world; the everlasting best comfort,however, is with Allah.
3 : 15
Say : "Shall I tell you of better things than these, with whichthe righteous will be rewarded by their Rabb? There will begardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will live foreverwith spouses of perfect chastity and the good pleasure of Allah.Allah is watching His servants very closely."
14 : 3
They are the ones who love the life of this world more than thehereafter, who debar others from the Way of Allah and seek tomake it crooked: they have gone far astray into error.
75 : 20
- Nay, the fact is that you people love this fleeting life
Prayers for proper entry and exit at every stage in
17 : 80
During the prayer say: "Rabb! Make my entrance, the entrance withtruth and make my exit, the exit with truth and grant me asupporting authority from your presence;"
Preferring one's own to that of Muhammad(S)
9 : 120
It is not proper for the people of Madinah and the beduin Arabsof the neighborhood to forsake the Rasool of Allah or tojeopardize his life so as to safeguard their own: because they donot suffer any thirst or hunger or any ordeal for the sake ofAllah, or take any step which may provoke the unbelievers, orreceive any injury from an enemy, but shall be written down as agood deed to their account; for Allah does not waste the rewardof the righteous.
Preferring that of the world to the Hereafter
9 : 38
O believers! What is the matter with you that when you are askedto march forth in the way of Allah, you cling to the earth? Doyou prefer the life of this world to the life of the hereafter?If it is so, then you should know that the comforts of this lifeare little compared to the life of the hereafter.
16 : 107
This is because such people love the life of this world more thanthe hereafter, and that Allah does not guide those who knowinglyreject faith.
16 : 108
Such are those whose hearts, ears and eyes are sealed by Allah;and they are the ones who are heedless.
16 : 109
There is no doubt that in the hereafter they will be the losers.
Reflecting upon that of the world
2 : 219
They ask you about drinking and gambling. Tell them: "There isgreat sin in both, although they may have some benefit for men;but the sin is greater than the benefit." They ask you what theyshould spend; tell them: "Whatever you can." Thus Allah makes Hisrevelations clear to you, so that you may reflect upon
2 : 220
this world and the hereafter. They ask you about orphans. Tellthem: "It is best to deal with them justly; you may becomeco-partners with them, after all they are your brethren; Allahknows who means harm and also who means their welfare. If Allahhad wanted He could be hard on you in this matter, surely Allahis Mighty, Wise."
Seeking worldly
24 : 33
And let those who do not find means to marry keep themselveschaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty. As for thoseof your slaves who wish to buy out their liberty, execute thedeed of liberty with them if you find them deserving, and givethem some of the wealth which Allah has given you. Do not forceyour slave-girls into prostitution for your own worldly gains, ifthey wish to preserve their chastity; and if anyone forces theminto it, then surely after such a compulsion Allah will beforgiving and merciful to them.
Slaying of
25 : 68
who do not invoke any other god besides Allah, nor kill any soulwhich Allah has made sacred, except for a just cause, nor commitfornication - he that does this shall be punished for his sin,
25 : 69
and his punishment shall be doubled on the Day of Resurrectionand in disgrace he shall abide forever,
25 : 70
except the one who repents, becomes a true believer, and startsdoing good deeds, for then Allah will change his evil deeds intogood, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
25 : 70
except the one who repents, becomes a true believer, and startsdoing good deeds, for then Allah will change his evil deeds intogood, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Span of on earth compared to that of the Hereafter
23 : 112
They will be asked: "How many years did you live on earth?"
23 : 113
They will reply: "We lived there a day or part of a day; You mayask those who kept the count."
23 : 114
It will be said: "Well, now you know that your stay was just alittle while - what a pity, you did not believe it then!"
Straitening of for women in iddat
65 : 6
Let those women, during their waiting period ('Iddat), live whereyou yourselves live according to your means. You shall not harassthem so as to make life intolerable for them. If they arepregnant, maintain them until their delivery: and if, after that,they suckle your offspring, compensate them and settle the matterof compensation with mutual consultation and in all fairness. Butif you cannot bear with each other then let another woman sucklethe baby for you.
65 : 7
Let the rich man give according to his means, and the poor mangive according to what Allah has given him. Allah does not chargea man with more than He has given him; soon Allah may bring easeafter hardship.
Striving in the Way of Allah with one's
4 : 95
Those believers who stay at home - having no physical disability- are not equal to those who make Jihad (struggle) in the causeof Allah with their wealth and their persons. Allah has granted ahigher rank to those who make Jihad with their wealth and theirpersons than to those who stay at home. Though Allah has promiseda good reward for all, Allah has prepared a much richer rewardfor those who make Jihad for Him than for those who stay at home
4 : 96
- they have special higher ranks, forgiveness and mercy. Allah isForgiving, Merciful.
8 : 72
Those who believed (embraced Islam), migrated and made Jihad(exerted their utmost struggle) with their wealth and theirpersons in the cause of Allah; as well as those who gave themasylum and help, are indeed the protecting friends of oneanother. As to those who believed (embraced Islam) but did notemigrate (to Dar-ul-Islam, the Islamic State), you are under noobligation to protect them until they emigrate; yet it is yourobligation to help them in the matters of faith if they ask foryour help, except against a people with whom you have a treaty.Allah is observant of all your actions.
9 : 20
Those who believe (embrace Islam), leave their homes (migrate),and make Jihad with their wealth and persons in the cause ofAllah, have higher rank in the sight of Allah. It is they whowill be truly successful.
9 : 21
Their Rabb gives them good news of His mercy, His good pleasure,and paradise with everlasting bliss.
9 : 22
They will live therein forever. Surely it is Allah with Whom isthe mighty reward.
9 : 41
March forth whether you are equipped lightly or heavily and makeJihad (exert your utmost) in the way of Allah with your wealthand your persons. That is best for you if you understand.
9 : 44
Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day will never ask youfor exemption from fighting with their wealth and their persons.Allah is aware of those who are righteous.
9 : 88
But the Rasool and those who believe with him, make Jihad withtheir wealth and their persons. They are the ones who will haveall the goodness, and they are the ones who will be successful.
9 : 89
Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, tolive therein forever: that is the greatest achievement.
9 : 111
Indeed Allah has purchased from the believers their persons andtheir wealth and in return has promised them paradise; they fightin the cause of Allah and slay and are slain. This is a truepromise which is binding on Him mentioned in Taurat (Torah), theInjeel (Gospel) and the Qur'an; and who is more true infulfilling his promise than Allah? Rejoice, therefore, in thebargain which you have made, and that is a mighty achievement.
49 : 15
The true believers are those who believe in Allah and His Rasool,then never doubt; and make Jihad (exert their efforts) with theirwealth and their persons in the cause of Allah. Such are the oneswho are truthful in their claim to be the believers.
61 : 10
O believers! Should I tell you of a bargain that will save youfrom a painful punishment?
61 : 11
It is to believe in Allah and His Rasool and strive your utmostin the cause of Allah with your wealth and your persons. That isbest for you, if you but knew it.
61 : 12
He will forgive you your sins and admit you to gardens beneathwhich rivers flow, and will lodge you in beautiful mansions inthe gardens of Eden, which will be a supreme achievement.
61 : 13
And yet another blessing which you love: help from Allah and aspeedy victory. So O Prophet, give this good news to thebelievers.
Trial of conduct in
67 : 2
The One Who created death and life, so that He may put you totest, to find out which of you is best in deeds: He is theAll-Mighty, the All-Forgiving.
Trial in loss of
2 : 155
We shall surely test your steadfastness with fear and famine,with loss of property, life and produce. Give good news to thosewho endure with patience;
2 : 156
who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "We belong to Allah andto Him we shall return."
2 : 157
Such are the people on whom there are blessings and Mercy fromAllah; and they are the ones that are rightly guided.
World, of the
2 : 212
The life of this world is charming to those who are unbelieversand they mock at those who believe, but they forget that thosewho fear Allah will rank above them on the Day of Resurrection;Allah gives sustenance without measure to whom He wants.
3 : 185
Every soul shall taste death. You shall receive your full rewardfor everything which you have striven for, on the Day ofResurrection. Whoever is spared from the fire and is admittedinto paradise will have attained the objective of this worldlylife; for the life of this world is nothing but an illusoryenjoyment.
4 : 77
Have you not seen those who were told to restrain their handsfrom fighting, establish Salah (regular prayers) and pay Zakah(regular charity). Now when at length they are commanded tofight, lo! A group of them fear people as they should have fearedAllah, or even more than that, and say: "Our Rabb! Why have Youordered us to fight? Could you delay its implementation for awhile?" Tell them: "The enjoyment of this worldly life is short,life of the hereafter is much better for those who fear Allah,and rest assured that you will not be wronged equal to the fiberof a date-stone.
6 : 32
The life of this world is nothing but play and amusement, but thelife of the Hereafter will be better for those who are righteous.Will you not use your common sense?
6 : 70
Leave those people alone, who take their religion as mere playand amusement and are deceived by the life of this world.However, keep on admonishing them with this (The Qur'an), lesttheir souls be damned by their own sinful deeds. They will nothave any protector or intercessor to rescue them from Allah, andif they seek to offer every imaginable ransom, it shall not beaccepted from them. Such are those who are damned by their ownsinful deeds. They will get boiling water to drink and painfultorture for their rejection of the Truth.
6 : 130
At that time Allah will also ask: "O Assembly of Jinns andmankind! Did not there come to you the Rasools from amongst youwho proclaimed to you My revelations and warned you about themeeting of this Day?" They will reply: "Yes they did, We bearwitness against our own souls." Today this worldly life hasdeceived them but on that Day they will testify againstthemselves that they were indeed kuffar (unbelievers).
7 : 50
Then the inmates of the fire will cry out to the residents ofparadise: "Give us some water or some of the food which Allah hasprovided you." They will reply: "Allah has prohibited both ofthese things to the unbelievers,
7 : 51
who took their religion to be mere amusement and play and weredeceived by their earthly life." Allah will say: "Today We willforget them as they forgot the meeting of this Day; and mocked atOur revelations."
10 : 24
The example of this worldly life (which you love so much that youhave even become neglectful of Our signs) is like the water whichWe send down from the sky; it mingles with the soil and producesvegetation which becomes the food for men and animals. Then, atthe very time when the crops are ripened and the land looksattractive, the people to whom it belongs think that they areable to cultivate it, and there comes Our scourge upon it, bynight or in broad day, and We mow it down thoroughly as ifnothing existed there yesterday! Thus do We spell out Our signsfor those who are thoughtful.
13 : 26
Allah grants abundantly His provisions to whom He will andsparingly to whom He pleases. The unbelievers rejoice in the lifeof this world: but brief indeed is the comfort of this worldlylife as compared to the life of the hereafter.
18 : 45
O Prophet! Give them the similitude of the life of this world. It is like the vegetation of the earth that flourishes with the rain from the sky, but afterwards the same vegetation turns into dry stubble which is blown away by the winds. Allah is the One Who has power over everything.
18 : 46
Likewise, wealth and children are an attraction of this worldly life; yet honorable deeds that last forever are better rewarded by your Rabb and hold for you a better hope of salvation.
21 : 111
I do not know whether this delay is a trial for you or you arebeing given respite for an appointed time."
29 : 64
The life of this world is nothing but pastime and play! It is thelife of the hereafter that is the true life: if they but knew it.
45 : 34
It will be said: "Today We will forget you as you forgot themeeting of this Day of yours! Hellfire will be your home and nonewill be there to help you.
45 : 35
This is because you used to take Allah's revelations as a jokeand you let the worldly life deceive you." Therefore, on this Dayneither they shall be taken out of hell, nor shall they be givena chance for amending their ways to please their Rabb.
47 : 36
The life of this world is but play and amusement. If you believeand follow the way of piety, He will grant you your rewards andwill not ask you to give up your possessions.
Life for Allah Alone

You should know that the life of this world is only play andamusement, a show and boasting among yourselves, a quest forgreater riches and more children. Its similitude is that ofvegetation that flourish after rain: the growth of which delightsthe tillers, then it withers and you see it turn yellow, soon itbecomes dry and crumbles away. In the hereafter there will beeither severe punishment or forgiveness from Allah and His goodpleasure. The life of this world is nothing but an illusion.

You shall not kill anyone whom Allah has forbidden, except forjust cause under the law. If anyone is killed unjustly, We havegranted the right of retribution to his heir, but let him notcarry his vengeance too far in killing the culprit through takingthe law in his own hands, as he is supported by the law.

Yet there are others among people who wrangle about Allah, thoughthey neither have knowledge nor guidance, nor an enlighteningBook,

twisting things around in order to lead others astray from thePath of Allah - for such persons there is disgrace in this life,and on the Day of Judgment we shall make them taste thepunishment of burning fire,
22 : 10
saying: "This is what you prepared and sent forth with your ownhands." Rest assured that Allah is not unjust to His worshippers.
31 : 20
Do you not see that Allah has subjected to your benefit all thatis in the heavens and in the earth, and has lavished on you Hisevident and hidden favors? Yet there are some people who stillargue about Allah without knowledge, without guidance or anenlightening Book.
Light From Allah Alone
Light From Allah Alone

Or another parable of unbelievers' efforts is that of persontrying to swim in a bottomless ocean overwhelmed with billows,one over the other, overcast with dark clouds - layers of utterdarkness one above another - so much so that if he stretches outhis hand, he can hardly see it. The one to whom Allah does notgive light, will have no light!

Believing in the revealed

Therefore, believe in Allah and His Rasool, and in the Lightwhich We have revealed. Allah is well aware of all your actions.

Allah does not burden any human being with more than he can bear.Everyone will enjoy the credit of his deeds and suffer the debitsof his evil-doings.The believers say: "Our Rabb! Do notpunish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Rabb! Do not placeon us a burden as You placed on those before us. Our Rabb! Laynot on us the kind of burden that we have no strength to bear.Pardon us, Forgive us, Have mercy on us. You are our Protector,help us against the unbelievers."

Exceeding by the People of the Scripture of those of truth in Religion

Tell them: "O people of the Book! Do not transgress the bounds oftruth in your religion, and do not yield to the fancies of thosepeople who went astray before you, They misled many others andhave themselves strayed away from The Right Way.
Transgressing
2 : 173
He has forbidden you to eat dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine,and that on which any name other than Allah has been invoked; butif someone is compelled by absolute necessity, intending neitherto sin nor to transgress, he shall incur no sin. Surely Allah isForgiving, Merciful.
2 : 190
Fight in the cause of Allah with those who fight against you, butdo not exceed the limits. Allah does not like transgressors.
6 : 145
O Muhammad tell them: I did not find in what has been revealed tome anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it,except the meat of an already dead animal, or running blood orthe flesh of swine (pork) - for these are unclean - or flesh ofan animal which has become profane because of slaughtering in thenames other than Allah. Even so, if anyone is forced in ahelpless situation, intending neither disobedience nortransgression, you will find your Rabb Forgiving, Merciful.
7 : 55
Call on your Rabb with humility and in private; for He does notlove the transgressors.
20 : 127
Thus do We reward the one who is a transgressor and does notbelieve in the revelations of his Rabb. The punishment of theHereafter is more terrible and more lasting.
21 : 9
Then We fulfilled Our promise with them: We saved them and thosewhom We pleased, and destroyed the transgressors.
52 : 32
Does their faculties of reasoning prompt them to say this? Or isit merely that they are wicked people?
96 : 6
Nay! Indeed, man transgresses all bounds,

in thinking himself to be self-sufficient,

although surely towards your Rabb is his return.
Transgressing in retaliation
2 : 187
It is made lawful for you to approach your wives during the nightof the fast; they are an apparel for you and you for them. Allahknows that you were committing dishonesty to your souls. So Hehas relented towards you and pardoned you. Now, you may approachyour wives and seek what Allah has written for you. Eat and drinkuntil the white thread of dawn appears to you distinct from theblack thread of night, then complete your fast till nightfall. Donot approach your wives during I'htikaf (retreat in the mosquesin last ten days of Ramadhan). These are the limits set by Allah:do not ever violate them. Thus Allah makes His revelations clearto mankind so that they may guard themselves against evil.

It is made lawful for you to approach your wives during the nightof the fast; they are an apparel for you and you for them. Allahknows that you were committing dishonesty to your souls. So Hehas relented towards you and pardoned you. Now, you may approachyour wives and seek what Allah has written for you. Eat and drinkuntil the white thread of dawn appears to you distinct from theblack thread of night, then complete your fast till nightfall. Donot approach your wives during I'htikaf (retreat in the mosquesin last ten days of Ramadhan). These are the limits set by Allah:do not ever violate them. Thus Allah makes His revelations clearto mankind so that they may guard themselves against evil.

2 : 229
Pronouncement of revocable divorce is only allowed twice: thenshe should be allowed to stay with honor or let go with kindnessafter the third pronouncement. It is not lawful for husbands totake anything back which they have given them except when bothparties fear that they may not be able to follow the limits setby Allah; then if you fear that they both will not be able tokeep the limits of Allah, there is no blame if, by mutualagreement the wife compensates the husband to obtain divorce.These are the limits set by Allah; do not transgress them, andthose who transgress the limits of Allah are the wrongdoers.
2 : 230
So if a husband divorces his wife three times, it is not lawfulfor him to remarry her until after she has married another manand gotten divorced. In that case there is no blame on either ofthem if they reunite in marriage, provided they think that theycan keep the limits of Allah. Such are the limits of Allah whichHe makes clear to the people of understanding.

Those that turn to Allah in repentance, serve Him, praise Him,move about in the land for His sake, make Rakuh (bow down inprayer) and Sajud (prostrate themselves in prayer), enjoin whatis good and forbid what is evil, and observe the limits(permissions and prohibitions) set by Allah (they are the oneswho make such a bargain with Allah). O Prophet, proclaim the goodnews to such believers.

4 : 14
But the ones who disobey Allah and His Rasool and transgress Hislimits will be cast to Hellfire to live therein forever, and theyshall have a humiliating punishment.
65 : 1
O Prophet! If you and the believers divorce your wives, divorcethem at the end of their prescribed periods, and count theirprescribed periods accurately. Fear Allah, your Rabb. Do notexpel them from their homes during their waiting period, nor theythemselves should leave, unless they have committed an openlewdness. These are limits set by Allah; he that transgresses thelimits of Allah will wrong his own soul. You never know, Allahmay, thereafter, bring about some new situation ofreconciliation.
