Sayings Of The Prophet As In
Quran
[The verses in the Quran
where ALLAH said to the Prophet [p.b.u.h] "QUL" (Say). These are not Prophet's
own words but the words are from ALLAH . However, in these verses, ALLAH
sepcifically commanded the prophet [p.b.u.h], 'QUL' (SAY). This may not be the
complete list]
About Himself
Say: "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the penalty of a
Mighty Day. [6:15]
Say: "I tell you not that with me are the treasures of ALLAH, nor do I know what
is hidden, nor do I tell you I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to
me." Say: "can the blind be held equal to the seeing?" Will ye then consider
not? [6:50]
Say: "I am forbidden to worship those - others than ALLAH – whom ye call upon."
Say: "I will not follow your vain desires: If I did, I would stray from the
path, and be not of the company of those who receive guidance." [6:56]
Say: "For me, I (work) on a clear sign from my Lord, but ye reject Him. What ye
would see hastened, is not in my power. The command rests with none but ALLAH:
He declares the truth, and He is the best of judges."[6:57]
Say: "If what ye would see hastened were in my power, the matter would be
settled at once between you and me. But ALLAH known best those who do wrong."
[6:58]
But thy people reject this, though it is the truth. Say: "Not mine is the
responsibility for arranging your affairs; [6:66]
Those were the (prophets) who received ALLAH's guidance: Copy the guidance they
received; Say: "No reward for this do I ask of you: This is no less than a
message for the nations." [6:90]
Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of
right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined
not gods with ALLAH." [6:161]
Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are
(all) for ALLAH, the Cherisher of the Worlds: [6:162]
Say: "Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than ALLAH, when He is the Cherisher
of all things (that exist)? Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but
itself: no bearer of burdens can bear of burdens can bear the burden of another.
Your goal in the end is towards ALLAH: He will tell you the truth of the things
wherein ye disputed." [6:164]
Say: "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of ALLAH, to Whom
belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no god but He: it
is He That giveth both life and death. So believe in ALLAH and His Messenger,
the Unlettered Prophet, who believeth in ALLAH and His words: follow him that
(so) ye may be guided." [7:158]
Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as ALLAH willeth.
If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil
should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to
those who have faith." [7:188]
If thou bring them not a revelation, they say: "Why hast thou not got it
together?" Say: "I but follow what is revealed to me from my Lord: this is
(nothing but) lights from your Lord, and Guidance, and mercy, for any who have
faith." [7:203]
But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope
on their meeting with Us, Say: "Bring us a reading other than this, or change
this," Say: "It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow naught
but what is revealed unto me: if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear
the penalty of a Great Day (to come)." [10:15]
Say: "If ALLAH had so willed, I should not have rehearsed it to you, nor would
He have made it known to you. A whole life-time before this have I tarried
amongst you: will ye not then understand?" [10:16]
Say: "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as ALLAH willeth.
To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can
they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation)." [10:49]
Say: "O ye men! If ye are in doubt as to my religion,(behold!) I worship not
what ye worship, other than ALLAH! But I worship ALLAH- Who will take your souls
(at death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers, [10:104]
Say: "O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive
guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their
own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs." [10:108]
Say thou: "This is my way: I do invite unto ALLAH,- on evidence clear as the
seeing with one's eyes,- I and whoever follows me. Glory to ALLAH! and never
will I join gods with ALLAH!" [12:108]
Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what hath been revealed unto
thee: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: "I am
commanded to worship ALLAH, and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I
call, and unto Him is my return." [13:36]
Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say: "ALLAH is witness between me
and you; This Qur'an hath been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn
you and all whom it reaches. Can ye possibly bear witness that besides ALLAH
there is another ALLAH?" Say: "Nay! I cannot bear witness!" Say: "But in truth
He is the one ALLAH, and I truly am innocent of (your blasphemy of) joining
others with Him." [6:19]
Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as ALLAH willeth.
If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil
should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to
those who have faith." [7:188]
Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as ALLAH willeth.
If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil
should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to
those who have faith." [7:188]
Say: "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with ALLAH alone: I am (sent) only
to warn plainly in public." [67:26]
Say: "Shall I take for my protector any other than ALLAH, the Maker of the
heavens and the earth? And He it is that feedeth but is not fed." Say: "Nay! but
I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to ALLAH (in Islam), and be not
thou of the company of those who join gods with ALLAH." [6:14]
Say: "O my people! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part):soon will ye know who
it is whose end will be (best) in the Hereafter: certain it is that the
wrong-doers will not prosper." [6:135]
Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "If I had forged it, on me were my sin!
and I am free of the sins of which ye are guilty! [11:35]
"Or thou have a house adorned with gold, or thou mount a ladder right into the
skies. No, we shall not even believe in thy mounting until thou send down to us
a book that we could read." Say: "Glory to my Lord! Am I aught but a man,- a
messenger?" [17:93]
Say: "O men! I am (sent) to you only to give a Clear Warning: [22:49]
Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take
a (straight) Path to his Lord." [25:57]
Ye they say: "Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The signs
are indeed with ALLAH: and I am indeed a clear Warner." [29:50]

guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord tome: it is He Who hears
all things, and is (ever) near." [34:50]
Say: "Truly am I a Warner: no god is there but the one ALLAH, Supreme and
Irresistible,- [38:65]
Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this (Qur'an), nor am I a pretender. [38:86]
Say: "Verily, I am commanded to serve ALLAH with sincere devotion; [39:11]
Say: "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the Penalty of a
Mighty Day." [39:13]
Say: "It is ALLAH I serve, with my sincere (and exclusive) devotion: [39:14]
Say: "O my People! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part):but soon will ye
know- [39:39]
Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides ALLAH,-
seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord; and I have been
commanded to bow (in Islam) to the Lord of the Worlds." [40:66]
Say: "If (ALLAH) Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to averse."
[43:81]
Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "Had I forged it, then can ye obtain no
single (blessing) for me from ALLAH. He knows best of that whereof ye talk (so
glibly)! Enough is He for a witness between me and you! And he is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful." [46:8]
Say: "I am no bringer of new-fangled doctrine among the messengers, nor do I
know what will be done with me or with you. I follow but that which is revealed
to me by inspiration; I am but a Warner open and clear." [46:9]
Say thou: "Await ye!- I too will wait along with you!" [52:31]
Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false
god)." [72:20]
Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right
conduct." [72:21]
Say: "No one can deliver me from ALLAH (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I
find refuge except in Him, [72:22]
Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or
whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. [72:25]
In answer to various questions
They ask you concerning the new moon. Say: They are times appointed for (the
benefit of) men, and (for) the pilgrimage; and it is not righteousness that you
should enter the houses at their backs, but righteousness is this that one
should guard (against evil); and go into the houses by their doors and be
careful (of your duty) to ALLAH, that you may be successful. [2:189]
They ask you as to what they should spend. Say: Whatever wealth you spend, it is
for the parents and the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the
wayfarer, and whatever good you do, ALLAH surely knows it. [2:215]
They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting
therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of ALLAH to prevent
access to the path of ALLAH, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred
Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than
slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your
faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in
unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they
will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein. [2:217]
They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: In both of them there
is a great sin and means of profit for men, and their sin is greater than their
profit. And they ask you as to what they should spend. Say: What you can spare.
Thus does ALLAH make clear to you the communications, that you may ponder
[2:219]
They ask thee concerning orphans. Say: "The best thing to do is what is for
their good; if ye mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren; but
ALLAH knows the man who means mischief from the man who means good. And if ALLAH
had wished, He could have put you into difficulties: He is indeed Exalted in
Power, Wise." [2:220]
They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say: They are a hurt and a pollution:
So keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they
are clean. But when they have purified themselves, ye may approach them in any
manner, time, or place ordained for you by ALLAH. For ALLAH loves those who turn
to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean. [2:222]
They ask thy instruction concerning the women. Say: ALLAH doth instruct you
about them: And (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto you in the Book,
concerning the orphans of women to whom ye give not the portions prescribed, and
yet whom ye desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and
oppressed: that ye stand firm for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed
which ye do, but ALLAH is well-acquainted therewith. [4:127]
They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: ALLAH directs (thus) about those who
leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs. If it is a man that dies, leaving a
sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: If (such a deceased
was) a woman, who left no child, Her brother takes her inheritance: If there are
two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance (between them): if
there are brothers and sisters, (they share), the male having twice the share of
the female. Thus doth ALLAH make clear to you (His law), lest ye err. And ALLAH
hath knowledge of all things. [4:176]
They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food). Say: lawful unto you are (all)
things good and pure: and what ye have taught your trained hunting animals (to
catch) in the manner directed to you by ALLAH: eat what they catch for you, but
pronounce the name of ALLAH over it: and fear ALLAH; for ALLAH is swift in
taking account. [5:4]
They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say:"(such) spoils are
at the disposal of ALLAH and the Messenger: So fear ALLAH, and keep straight the
relations between yourselves: Obey ALLAH and His Messenger, if ye do believe."
[8:1]
They ask thee concerning the Rooh. Say:" The Rooh is the command of my Lord: of
knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you, (O men!)" [17:85]
They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time? Say:
"The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): None but He can reveal as to
when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth.
Only, all of a sudden will it come to you." They ask thee as if thou Wert eager
in search thereof: Say: "The knowledge thereof is with ALLAH (alone), but most
men know not." [7:187]
They ask thee concerning Zul-qarnain. Say, "I will rehearse to you something of
his story." [18:83]
Men ask thee concerning the Hour: Say, "The knowledge there of is with ALLAH
(alone)": and what will make thee understand?- perchance the Hour is nigh!
[33:63]
They ask thee concerning the Mountains: say, "My Lord will uproot them and
scatter them as dust; [20:125]
They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place! It is not you
(Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time. The ultimate knowledge of it
rests with thy Lord. Thou art only a Warner unto him who fears it.[79:42-45]
The people of the Book ask thee to cause a book to descend to them from heaven:
Indeed they asked Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said: "Show us
ALLAH in public," but they were dazed for their presumption, with thunder and
lightning. Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them;
even so we forgave them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority. [4:153]
O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you,
may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being
revealed, they will be made plain to you, ALLAH will forgive those: for ALLAH is
Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing. [5:101]
About the Hour
They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time? Say:
"The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): None but He can reveal as to
when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth.
Only, all of a sudden will it come to you." They ask thee as if thou Wert eager
in search thereof: Say: "The knowledge thereof is with ALLAH (alone), but most
men know not." [7:187]
Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as ALLAH willeth.
If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil
should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to
those who have faith." [7:188]
Say: "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with ALLAH alone: I am (sent) only
to warn plainly in public." [67:26]
Men ask thee concerning the Hour: Say, "The knowledge there of is with ALLAH
(alone)": and what will make thee understand?- perchance the Hour is nigh!
[33:63]
They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place! It is not you
(Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time. The ultimate knowledge of it
rests with thy Lord. Thou art only a Warner unto him who fears it.[79:42-45]
Miscellaneous
Say: Whoever is the enemy of Jibreel-- for surely he revealed it to your heart
by ALLAH's command, verifying that which is before it and guidance and good news
for the believers. [2:97]
Say: "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good, even though
the abundance of the bad may dazzle thee; so fear ALLAH, O ye that understand;
that (so) ye may prosper." [5:100]
Say: "Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who rejected
Truth." [6:11]
Say: "To whom belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To
ALLAH. He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. That He will gather
you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who
have lost their own souls, that will not believe. [6:12]
Say: "Think ye to yourselves, if there come upon you the wrath of ALLAH, or the
Hour (that ye dread), would ye then call upon other than ALLAH?- (reply) if ye
are truthful! [6:40]
Say: "Think ye, if ALLAH took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up
your hearts, who - a god other than ALLAH - could restore them to you?" See how
We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside. [6:46]
Say: "Think ye, if the punishment of ALLAH comes to you, whether suddenly or
openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong? [6:47]
Say: "Who is it that delivereth you from the dark recesses of land and sea, when
ye call upon Him in humility and silent terror: 'If He only delivers us from
these (dangers), (we vow) we shall truly show our gratitude'?" [6:63]
Say "It is ALLAH that delivereth you from these and all (other) distresses: and
yet ye worship false gods!" [6:64]
Say: "He hath power to send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover
you with confusion in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance -
each from the other." See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); that
they may understand. [6:65]
No just estimate of ALLAH do they make when they say: "Nothing doth ALLAH send
down to man (by way of revelation)" Say: "Who then sent down the Book which
Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (separate)
sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents):therein were ye taught
that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "ALLAH (sent it
down)": Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling. [6:91]
When they do aught that is shameful, they say: "We found our fathers doing so";
and "ALLAH commanded us thus": Say: "Nay, ALLAH never commands what is shameful:
do ye say of ALLAH what ye know not?" [7:28]
Say: "My Lord hath commanded justice; and that ye set your whole selves (to Him)
at every time and place of prayer, and call upon Him, making your devotion
sincere as in His sight: such as He created you in the beginning, so shall ye
return." [7:29]
Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your
kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a
decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight – are dearer to you than ALLAH, or
His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until ALLAH brings about
His decision: and ALLAH guides not the rebellious. [9:24]
Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what ALLAH has decreed for us: He is our
protector": and on ALLAH let the Believers put their trust. [9:51]
Say: "Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things-
(Martyrdom or victory)? But we can expect for you either that ALLAH will send
his punishment from Himself, or by our hands. So wait (expectant); we too will
wait with you." [9:52]
Say: "Spend (for the cause) willingly or unwillingly: not from you will it be
accepted: for ye are indeed a people rebellious and wicked." [9:53]
The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Sura should be sent down about them, showing
them what is (really passing) in their hearts. Say: "Mock ye! But verily ALLAH
will bring to light all that ye fear (should be revealed). [9:64]
If thou dost question them, they declare (with emphasis): "We were only talking
idly and in play." Say: "Was it at ALLAH, and His Signs, and His Messenger, that
ye were mocking?" [9:65]
Those who were left behind (in the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their inaction
behind the back of the Messenger of ALLAH: they hated to strive and fight, with
their goods and their persons, in the cause of ALLAH: they said, "Go not forth
in the heat." Say, "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could
understand! [9:81]
They will present their excuses to you when ye return to them. Say thou:
"Present no excuses: we shall not believe you: ALLAH hath already informed us of
the true state of matters concerning you: It is your actions that ALLAH and His
Messenger will observe: in the end will ye be brought back to Him Who knoweth
what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye
did." [9:94]
When We make mankind taste of some mercy after adversity hath touched them,
behold! they take to plotting against Our Signs! Say: "Swifter to plan is
ALLAH!" Verily, Our messengers record all the plots that ye make! [10:21]
Say: "Who is it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? or
who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out
the living from the dead and the dead from the living? and who is it that rules
and regulates all affairs?" They will soon say, "ALLAH". Say, "will ye not then
show piety (to Him)?" [10:31]
Say: "Of your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?" Say: "It is
ALLAH Who originates creation and repeats it: then how are ye deluded away (from
the truth)?" [10:34]
Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any guidance towards truth?"
Say: "It is ALLAH Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives
guidance to truth more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance
(himself) unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?"
[10:35]
Or do they say, "He forged it"? say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call
(to your aid) anyone you can besides ALLAH, if it be ye speak the truth!"
[10:38]
Say: "Do ye see,- if His punishment should come to you by night or by day,- what
portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten? [10:50]
They seek to be informed by thee: "Is that true?" Say: "Aye! by my Lord! it is
the very truth! and ye cannot frustrate it!" [10:53]
Say: "In the bounty of ALLAH. And in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice": that
is better than the (wealth) they hoard. [10:58]
Say: "Those who invent a lie against ALLAH will never prosper." [10:69]
Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth"; but neither Signs nor
Warners profit those who believe not. [10:101]
Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who
passed away before them? Say: "Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you."
[10:102]
Or they may say, "He forged it," Say, "Bring ye then ten suras forged, like unto
it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever ye can, other than ALLAH!- If ye speak the
truth! [11:13]
Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is)
ALLAH." Say: "Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as
have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind
equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do
they assign to ALLAH partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so
that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "ALLAH is the Creator of all
things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible." [13:16]
Thus have we sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other)
Peoples (gone and) passed away; in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them
what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most
Gracious! Say: "He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and
to Him do I turn!" [13:30]
Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like
any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to ALLAH. Say: "But name them! is it
that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a
show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing,
but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom ALLAH leaves to
stray, no one can guide. [13:33]
And they set up (idols) as equal to ALLAH, to mislead (men) from the Path! Say:
"Enjoy (your brief power)! But verily ye are making straightway for Hell!"
[14:30]
Speak to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers,
and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and
openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual
bargaining nor befriending. [14:31]
Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order
to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims.
[16:102]
Say: If there had been (other) gods with Him, as they say,-behold, they would
certainly have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne! [17:42]
Say: "(Nay!) be ye stones or iron, [17:50]
"Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest (to be raised up),- (Yet
shall ye be raised up)!" then will they say: "Who will cause us to return?" Say:
"He who created you first!" Then will they wag their heads towards thee, and
say, "When will that be?" Say, "May be it will be quite soon! [17:51]
Say: "Call on those - besides Him - whom ye fancy: they have neither the power
to remove your troubles from you nor to change them." [17:56]
Say: "Everyone acts according to his own disposition: But your Lord knows best
who it is that is best guided on the Way."[17:84]
Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the
like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they
backed up each other with help and support. [17:88]
Say, "If there were settled, on earth, angels walking about in peace and quiet,
We should certainly have sent them down from the heavens an angel for a
messenger." [17:95]
Say: "Enough is ALLAH for a witness between me and you: for He is well
acquainted with His servants, and He sees (all things). [17:96]
Say: "If ye had control of the Treasures of the Mercy of my Lord, behold, ye
would keep them back, for fear of spending them: for man is (every) niggardly!"
[17:100]
Say: "Whether ye believe in it or not, it is true that those who were given
knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in
humble prostration, [17:107]
Say: "Call upon ALLAH, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him,
(it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy
Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."
[17:110]
(Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say
they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown;
(yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord
knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their (real case)." Enter
not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is
clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers.[18:22]
Say: "ALLAH knows best how long they stayed: with Him is (the knowledge of) the
secrets of the heavens and the earth: how clearly He sees, how finely He hears
(everything)! They have no protector other than Him; nor does He share His
Command with any person whatsoever. [18:26]
Say: "Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?-
[18:103]
Say: "If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord,
sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we
added another ocean like it, for its aid." [18:109]
Say: "I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration has come to me, that
your ALLAH is one ALLAH: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work
righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.
[18:110]
Say: "If any men go astray, (ALLAH) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them,
until, when they see the warning of ALLAH (being fulfilled) -either in
punishment or in (the approach of) the Hour,- they will at length realise who is
worst in position, and (who) weakest in forces! [19:75]
Say: "Each one (of us) is waiting: wait ye, therefore, and soon shall ye know
who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received
Guidance." [20:135]
Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides him? Say, "Bring your
convincing proof: this is the Message of those with me and the Message of those
before me." But most of them know not the Truth, and so turn away. [21:24]
Say: "Who can keep you safe by night and by day from (the Wrath of) (ALLAH) Most
Gracious?" Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord. [21:42]
Say, "I do but warn you according to revelation": But the deaf will not hear the
call, (even) when they are warned! [21:45]
Say: "What has come to me by inspiration is that your ALLAH is One ALLAH: will
ye therefore bow to His Will (in Islam)?" [21:108]
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, thou wilt notice a denial on the
faces of the Unbelievers! they nearly attack with violence those who rehearse
Our Signs to them. Say, "Shall I tell you of something(far) worse than these
Signs? It is the Fire (of Hell)! ALLAH has promised it to the Unbelievers! and
evil is that destination!" [22:72]
Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (say)if ye know!" [23:84]
They will say, "To ALLAH!" say: "Yet will ye not receive admonition?" [23:85]
Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of
Glory) Supreme?" [23:86]
They will say, "(They belong) to ALLAH." Say: "Will ye not then be filled with
awe?" [23:87]
Say: "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things,- who protects
(all), but is not protected (of any)? (say) if ye know." [23:88]
They will say, "(It belongs) to ALLAH." Say: "Then how are ye deluded?" [23:89]
Say: "O my Lord! if Thou wilt show me (in my lifetime) that which they are
warned against,- [23:93]
Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their
modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And ALLAH is well
acquainted with all that they do.[24:30]
They swear their strongest oaths by ALLAH that, if only thou wouldst command
them, they would leave (their homes). Say: "Swear ye not; Obedience is (more)
reasonable; verily, ALLAH is well acquainted with all that ye do." [24:53]
Say: "Obey ALLAH, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only
responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey
him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to preach the
clear (Message). [24:54]
Say: "The (Qur'an) was sent down by Him who knows the mystery (that is) in the
heavens and the earth: verily He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [25:6]
Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them,
that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment). [25:15]
Say (to the Rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on
Him: But ye have indeed rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable
(punishment)!" [25:77]
Say: Praise be to ALLAH, and Peace on his servants whom He has chosen (for his
Message). (Who) is better?- ALLAH or the false gods they associate (with Him)?
[27:59]
Or, Who originates creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from
heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides ALLAH? Say, "Bring forth
your argument, if ye are telling the truth!" [27:64]
Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except ALLAH, knows what is hidden: nor
can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgment). [27:65]
Say: "Go ye through the earth and see what has been the end of those guilty (of
sin)." [27:69]
Say: "It may be that some of the events which ye wish to hasten on may be
(close) in your pursuit!" [27:72]
Say: "Then bring ye a Book from ALLAH, which is a better guide than either of
them, that I may follow it! (do), if ye are truthful!" [28:49]
Say: See ye? If ALLAH were to make the night perpetual over you to the Day of
Judgment, what god is there other than ALLAH, who can give you enlightenment?
Will ye not then hearken? [28:71]
Say: See ye? If ALLAH were to make the day perpetual over you to the Day of
Judgment, what god is there other than ALLAH, who can give you a night in which
ye can rest? Will ye not then see? [28:72]
Verily He Who ordained the Qur'an for thee, will bring thee back to the Place of
Return. Say: "My Lord knows best who it is that brings true guidance, and who is
in manifest error." [28:85]
Say: "Travel through the earth and see how ALLAH did originate creation; so will
ALLAH produce a later creation: for ALLAH has power over all things. [29:20]
Say: "Enough is ALLAH for a witness between me and you: He knows what is in the
heavens and on earth. And it is those who believe in vanities and reject ALLAH,
that will perish (in the end). [29:52]
And if indeed thou ask them who it is that sends down rain from the sky, and
gives life therewith to the earth after its death, they will certainly reply,
"ALLAH!" Say, "Praise be to ALLAH!" But most of them understand not. [29:63]
Say: "Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you):
Most of them worshipped others besides ALLAH." [30:42]
If thou ask them, who it is that created the heavens and the earth. They will
certainly say, "ALLAH". Say: "Praise be to ALLAH!" But most of them understand
not. [31:25]
Say: "The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your souls:
then shall ye be brought back to your Lord." [32:11]
Say: "On the Day of Decision, no profit will it be to Unbelievers if they (then)
believe! nor will they be granted a respite." [32:29]
Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or
slaughter; and even if (ye do escape), no more than a brief(respite) will ye be
allowed to enjoy!" [33:16]
Say: "Who is it that can screen you from ALLAH if it be His wish to give you
punishment or to give you Mercy?" Nor will they find for themselves, besides
ALLAH, any protector or helper. [33:17]
O Prophet! Say to thy Consorts: "If it be that ye desire the life of this World,
and its glitter,- then come! I will provide for your enjoyment and set you free
in a handsome manner. [33:28]
O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they
should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most
convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And ALLAH is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [33:59]
Men ask thee concerning the Hour: Say, "The knowledge thereof is with ALLAH
(alone)": and what will make thee understand?- perchance the Hour is nigh!
[33:63]
The Unbelievers say, "Never to us will come the Hour": Say, "Nay! but most
surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you;- by Him Who knows the unseen,- from
Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the heavens or on earth: Nor is
there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the Record Perspicuous:
[34:3]
Say: "Call upon other (gods) whom ye fancy, besides ALLAH: They have no power,-
not the weight of an atom,- in the heavens or on earth: No(sort of) share have
they therein, nor is any of them a helper to ALLAH. [34:22]
Say: "Who gives you sustenance, from the heavens and the earth?" Say: "It is
ALLAH; and certain it is that either we or ye are on right guidance or in
manifest error!" [34:24]
Say: "Ye shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall we be questioned as
to what ye do." [34:25]
Say: "Our Lord will gather us together and will in the end decide the matter
between us (and you) in truth and justice: and He is the one to decide, the One
Who knows all." [34:26]
Say: "Show me those whom ye have joined with Him as partners: by no means (can
ye). Nay, He is ALLAH, the Exalted in Power, the Wise." [34:27]
Say: "The appointment to you is for a Day, which ye cannot put back for an hour
nor put forward." [34:30]
Say: "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom He pleases,
but most men understand not." [34:36]
Say: "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance tosuch of his
servants as He pleases: and nothing do ye spend in the least (in His cause) but
He replaces it: for He is the Best of those who grant Sustenance. [34:39]
Say: "I do admonish you on one point: that ye do stand up before ALLAH,- (It may
be) in pairs, or (it may be) singly,- and reflect(within yourselves): your
Companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a
terrible Penalty." [34:46]
Say: "Verily my Lord doth cast the (mantle of) Truth (over His servants),- He
that has full knowledge of (all) that is hidden." [34:48]
Say: "The Truth has arrived, and Falsehood neither creates anything new, nor
restores anything." [34:49]
Say: "Have ye seen (these) 'Partners' of yours whom ye call upon besides ALLAH?
Show Me what it is they have created in the (wide) earth. Or have they a share
in the heavens? Or have We given them a Book from which they (can derive) clear
(evidence)?- Nay, the wrong-doers promise each other nothing but delusions.
[35:40]
Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is
Well-versed in every kind of creation!- [36:79]
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
[37:18]
Say: "That is a Message Supreme (above all),- [38:67]
When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in
repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth
forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto
ALLAH, thus misleading others from ALLAH's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a
little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!" [39:8]
Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or
standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his
hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal,
those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with
understanding that receive admonition. [39:9]
Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is(the reward) for
those who do good in this world. Spacious is ALLAH's earth! those who patiently
persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" [39:10]
"Serve ye what ye will besides him." Say: "Truly, those in loss are those who
lose their own souls and their People on the Day of Judgment: Ah! that is indeed
the (real and) evident Loss! [39:15]
If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they
would be sure to say, "ALLAH". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke
besides ALLAH,- can they, if ALLAH wills some Penalty for me, remove His
Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say:
"Sufficient is ALLAH for me! In Him trust those who put their trust." [39:38]
What! Do they take for intercessors others besides ALLAH? Say: "Even if they
have no power whatever and no intelligence?" [39:43]
Say: "To ALLAH belongs exclusively (the right to grant) intercession: to Him
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: In the End, it is to Him that
ye shall be brought back." [39:44]
Say: "O ALLAH! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is
hidden and open! it is Thou that wilt judge between Thy Servants in those
matters about which they have differed." [39:46]
Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of
the Mercy of ALLAH: for ALLAH forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. [39:53]
Say: "Is it some one other than ALLAH that ye order me to worship, O ye ignorant
ones?" [39:64]
Tell those who believe, to forgive those who do not look forward to the Days of
ALLAH: It is for Him to recompense (for good or ill)each People according to
what they have earned. [45:14
Say: "It is ALLAH Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather
you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt": But most
men do not understand. [45:26]
Say: "Do ye see what it is ye invoke besides ALLAH? Show me what it is they have
created on earth, or have they a share in the heavens bring me a book (revealed)
before this, or any remnant of knowledge (ye may have), if ye are telling the
truth! [46:4]
Say: "See ye? If (this teaching) be from ALLAH, and ye reject it, and a witness
from among the Children of Israel testifies to its similarity (with earlier
scripture), and has believed while ye are arrogant, (how unjust ye are!) truly,
ALLAH guides not a people unjust." [46:10]
The desert Arabs who lagged behind will say to thee: "We were engaged in
(looking after) our flocks and herds, and our families: do thou then ask
forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts.
Say: "Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf with ALLAH, if
His Will is to give you some loss or to give you some profit? But ALLAH is well
acquainted with all that ye do. [48:11]
Those who lagged behind (will say), when ye (are free to)march and take booty
(in war): "Permit us to follow you." They wish to change ALLAH's decree: Say:
"Not thus will ye follow us: ALLAH has already declared (this) beforehand": then
they will say, "But ye are jealous of us." Nay, but little do they understand
(such things). [48:15]
Say to the desert Arabs who lagged behind: "Ye shall be summoned (to fight)
against a people given to vehement war: then shall ye fight, or they shall
submit. Then if ye show obedience, ALLAH will grant you a goodly reward, but if
ye turn back as ye did before, He will punish you with a grievous Penalty."
[48:16]
The desert Arabs say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only)say,
'We have submitted our wills to ALLAH,' For not yet has Faith entered your
hearts. But if ye obey ALLAH and His Messenger, He will not belittle aught of
your deeds: for ALLAH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [49:14]
Say: "What! Will ye instruct ALLAH about your religion? But ALLAH knows all that
is in the heavens and on earth: He has full knowledge of all things. [49:16]
They impress on thee as a favour that they have embraced Islam. Say, "Count not
your Islam as a favour upon me: Nay, ALLAH has conferred a favour upon you that
He has guided you to the faith, if ye be true and sincere. [49:17]
Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times, [56:49]
Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! If ye think that ye are friends to ALLAH, to
the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for Death, if ye are
truthful!" [62:6]
Say: "The Death from which ye flee will truly overtake you: then will ye be sent
back to the Knower of things secret and open: and He will tell you (the truth
of) the things that ye did!" [62:8]
But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it,
and leave thee standing. Say: "The (blessing) from the Presence of ALLAH is
better than any amusement or bargain! and ALLAH is the Best to provide (for all
needs)." [62:11]
The Unbelievers think that they will not be raised up (for Judgment). Say: "Yea,
By my Lord, Ye shall surely be raised up: then shall ye be told (the truth) of
all that ye did. And that is easy for ALLAH." [64:7]
Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the
faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye
give. [67:23]
Say: "It is He Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be
gathered together." [67:24]
Say: "See ye?- If ALLAH were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows
His Mercy on us,- yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?"
[67:28]
Say: "He is (ALLAH) Most Gracious: We have believed in Him, and on Him have we
put our trust: So, soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest
error." [67:29]
Say: "See ye?- If your stream be some morning lost (in the underground earth),
who then can supply you with clear-flowing water?" [67:30]
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn [113:1]
And they say: None shall enter the garden (or paradise) except he who is a Jew
or a Christian. These are their vain desires. Say: Bring your proof if you are
truthful. [2:111]
Say: If the future abode with ALLAH is especially for you to the exclusion of
the people, then invoke death if you are truthful. [2:94]
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. [2:120]
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. [2:135]
Say: Do you dispute with us about ALLAH, and He is our Lord and your Lord, and
we shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds, and we are sincere to
Him. [2:139]
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.[2:140]
Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we
worship none but ALLAH; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect
not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than ALLAH." If then they
turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to
ALLAH's Will). [3:64]
Say: "O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of ALLAH, when ALLAH is
Himself witness to all ye do?" [3:98]
Say: "O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path
of ALLAH, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to
ALLAH's Covenant)? but ALLAH is not unmindful of all that ye do." [3:99]
They (also) said: "ALLAH took our promise not to believe in a messenger unless
He showed us a sacrifice consumed by Fire (From heaven)."Say: "There came to you
messengers before me, with clear Signs and even with what ye ask for: why then
did ye slay them, if ye speak the truth?" [3:183]
In blasphemy indeed are those that say that ALLAH is Christ theson of Mary. Say:
"Who then hath the least power against ALLAH, if His will were to destroy Christ
the son of Mary, his mother, and all every – one that is on the earth? For to
ALLAH belongeth the dominion of the heavens andthe earth, and all that is
between. He createth what He pleaseth. For ALLAH hath power over all things."
[5:17]
(Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of ALLAH, and his beloved."
Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the
men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He
pleaseth: and to ALLAH belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and
all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)" [5:18]
Say: "O people of the Book! Do ye disapprove of us for no other reason than that
we believe in ALLAH, and the revelation that hath come to us and that which came
before (us), and (perhaps) that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"
[5:59]
Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this,(as judged) by the
treatment it received from ALLAH? those who incurred the curse of ALLAH and His
wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine, those who
worshipped evil;- these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from
the even path!" [5:60]
Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast
by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your
Lord." It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth
in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not
over (these) people without Faith. [5:68]
Say: "O people of the Book! exceed not in your religion the bounds (of what is
proper), trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who
went wrong in times gone by,- who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the
even way. [5:77]
The fools among the people will say: What has turned them from their qiblah
which they had? Say: The East and the West belong only to ALLAH; He guides whom
He likes to the right path. [2:142]
Say to those who reject Faith: "Soon will ye be vanquished andgathered together
to Hell,-an evil bed indeed (to lie on)! [3:12]
Say: Shall I give you glad tidings of things Far better thanthose? For the
righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord, with riversflowing beneath;
therein is their eternal home; with companions pure (andholy); and the good
pleasure of ALLAH. For in ALLAH's sight are (all) Hisservants,- [3:15]
Say: "O ALLAH! Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest,
and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honour
whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all
good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power.[3:26]
Say: Whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it, ALLAH knows it, and
He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and ALLAH has
power over all things. 3:29]
Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those
who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least! [4:77]
Say: "If ye do love ALLAH, Follow me: ALLAH will love you and forgive you your
sins: For ALLAH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [3:31]
Say: "Obey ALLAH and His Messenger": But if they turn back, ALLAH loveth not
those who reject Faith. [3:32]
Say: "ALLAH speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in
faith; he was not of the Pagans." [3:95]
Say: "Will ye serve, besides ALLAH, something which hath no power either to harm
or benefit you? But ALLAH,- He it is that heareth and knoweth all things."
[5:76]
"And believe no one unless he follows your religion." Say: "True guidance is the
Guidance of ALLAH: (Fear ye) Lest a revelation be sent to someone (else) Like
unto that which was sent unto you? or that those(Receiving such revelation)
should engage you in argument before your Lord?" Say: "All bounties are in the
hand of ALLAH: He granteth them to whom He pleaseth: And ALLAH careth for all,
and He knoweth all things." [3:73]
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. [2:120]
Say: "Shall we indeed call on others besides ALLAH,- things that can do us
neither good nor harm,- and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from
ALLAH? - like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered
through the earth, his friends calling, come to us',(vainly) guiding him to the
path." Say: "ALLAH's guidance is the (only) guidance, and we have been directed
to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds;- [6:71]
Say: "We believe in ALLAH, and in what has been revealed to us and what was
revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books)
given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction
between one and another among them, and to ALLAH do we bow our will (in Islam)."
[3:84]
All food was lawful to the Children of Israel, except what Israel Made unlawful
for itself, before the Law (of Moses) was revealed. Say: "Bring ye the Law and
study it, if ye be men of truth." [3:93]
They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food). Say: lawful unto you are (all)
things good and pure: and what ye have taught your trained hunting animals (to
catch) in the manner directed to you by ALLAH: eat what they catch for you, but
pronounce the name of ALLAH over it: and fear ALLAH; for ALLAH is swift in
taking account. [5:4]
Say: "I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat)
forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or
blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine,- for it is an abomination - or, what
is impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked, other than ALLAH's". But
(even so), if a person is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor
transgressing due limits,- thy Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.[6:145]
Say: "Come, I will rehearse what ALLAH hath (really) prohibited you from": Join
not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children
on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh
to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which ALLAH hath made
sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may
learn wisdom.[6:151]
Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of ALLAH, which He hath produced
for His servants, and the things, clean and pure, (which He hath provided) for
sustenance? Say: They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe,
(and) purely for them on the Day of Judgment. Thus do We explain the signs in
detail for those who understand.[7:32]
Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether
open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of
partners to ALLAH, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about
ALLAH of which ye have no knowledge. [7:33]
Say: "See ye what things ALLAH hath sent down to you for sustenance? Yet ye hold
forbidden some things thereof and (some things)l awful." Say: "Hath ALLAH indeed
permitted you, or do ye invent (things) to attribute to ALLAH?" [10:59]
Those who give partners (to ALLAH) will say: "If ALLAH had wished, we should not
have given partners to Him nor would our fathers; nor should we have had any
taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of Our wrath.
Say: "Have ye any (certain) knowledge? If so, produce it before us. Ye follow
nothing but conjecture: ye do nothing but lie."[6:148]
Say: "With ALLAH is the argument that reaches home: if it had been His will, He
could indeed have guided you all." [6:149]
Say: "Bring forward your witnesses to prove that ALLAH did forbid so and so." If
they bring such witnesses, be not thou amongst them: Nor follow thou the vain
desires of such as treat our signs as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the
Hereafter: for they hold others as equal with their Guardian-Lord. [6:150]
Say: "Come, I will rehearse what ALLAH hath (really) prohibited you from": Join
not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children
on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh
to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which ALLAH hath made
sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may
learn wisdom.[6:151]
Have they feet to walk with? Or hands to lay hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or
ears to hear with? Say: "Call your 'god-partners', scheme (your worst) against
me, and give me no respite! [7:195]
They serve, besides ALLAH, things that hurt them not nor profit them, and they
say: "These are our intercessors with ALLAH." Say: "Do ye indeed inform ALLAH of
something He knows not, in the heavens or on earth?-Glory to Him! and far is He
above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!" [10:18]
Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would
be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is
already (a matter of warning for them). [8:38]
The Unbelievers say: "No messenger art thou." Say: "Enough for a witness between
me and you is ALLAH, and such as have knowledge of the Book." [13:43]
O Prophet! say to those who are captives in your hands: "If ALLAH findeth any
good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken
from you, and He will forgive you: for ALLAH is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."
[8:70]
Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say: "ALLAH is witness between me
and you; This Qur'an hath been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn
you and all whom it reaches. Can ye possibly bear witness that besides ALLAH
there is another ALLAH?" Say: "Nay! I cannot bear witness!" Say: "But in truth
He is the one ALLAH, and I truly am innocent of (your blasphemy of) joining
others with Him." [6:19]
They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "ALLAH hath
certainly power to send down a sign: but most of them understand not. [6:37]
They swear their strongest oaths by ALLAH, that if a (special) sign came to
them, by it they would believe. Say: "Certainly (all) signs are in the power of
ALLAH: but what will make you (Muslims) realise that (even) if (special) signs
came, they will not believe."? [6:109]
Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or
certain of the signs of thy Lord! the day that certain of the signs of thy Lord
do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not
before nor earned righteousness through its faith. Say: "Wait ye: we too are
waiting." [6:158]
The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say:
"Truly ALLAH leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those
who turn to Him in penitence,- [13:27]
