WAHT ALLAH WANTS US NOT TO DO
[2:11, "DO NOT commit evil,"
[2:41] You shall believe in what I have revealed herein, confirming what you
have; DO NOT be the first to reject it. DO NOT trade away My revelations for a
cheap price, and observe Me.
[2:42] DO NOT confound the truth with falsehood, nor shall you conceal the
truth, knowingly.
[2:60 Eat and drink from GOD's provisions, and DO NOT roam the earth
corruptingly.
[2:104] DO NOT say, "Raa`ena"* (be our shepherd). Instead, you should say, "Unzurna"
(watch over us), and listen..
[2:132] GOD has pointed out the religion for you; DO NOT die except as
Islamist."
[2:147] This is the truth from your Lord; DO NOT harbor any doubt.
[2:150] . DO NOT fear transgressors, fear ALLAH instead.
[2:152] You shall remember Me, that I may remember you, and be thankful to Me;
DO NOT be unappreciative.
[2:154] DO NOT say of those who are killed in the cause of GOD, "They are dead."
They are alive at their Lord, but you DO NOT perceive.
[2:168] O people, eat from the earth's products all that is lawful and good, and
DO NOT follow the steps of Satan; he is your most ardent enemy.
[2:190] You may fight in the cause of GOD against those who attack you, but DO
NOT aggress. GOD does not love the aggressors.
[2:191] You may kill those who wage war against you, and you may evict them
whence they evicted you. Oppression is worse than murder. DO NOT fight them at
the Sacred Masjid, unless they attack you therein. If they attack you, you may
kill them. This is the just retribution for those disbelievers.
[2:195] You shall spend in the cause of GOD; DO NOT throw yourselves with your
own hands into destruction. You shall be charitable; GOD loves the charitable.
[2:196] You shall observe the complete rites of Hajj and`Umrah for GOD. If you
are prevented, you shall send an offering, and DO NOT resume cutting your hair
until your offering has reached its destination.
[2:208] O you who believe, you shall embrace total submission; DO NOT follow the
steps of Satan, for he is your most ardent enemy.
[2:221] DO NOT marry idolatresses unless they believe; a believing woman is
better than an idolatress, even if you like her. Nor shall you give your
daughters in marriage to idolatrous men, unless they believe. A believing man is
better than an idolater, even if you like him. These invite to Hell, while GOD
invites to Paradise and forgiveness, as He wills. He clarifies His revelations
for the people, that they may take heed.
[2:222] They ask you about menstruation: say, "It is harmful; you shall avoid
sexual intercourse with the women during menstruation; DO NOT approach them
until they are rid of it. Once they are rid of it, you may have intercourse with
them in the manner designed by GOD. GOD loves the repenters, and He loves those
who are clean."
[2:224] DO NOT subject GOD's name to your casual swearing, that you may appear
righteous, pious, or to attain credibility among the people. GOD is Hearer,
Knower.
[2:229] Divorce may be retracted twice. The divorced woman shall be allowed to
live in the same home amicably, or leave it amicably. It is not lawful for the
husband to take back anything he had given her. However, the couple may fear
that they may transgress GOD's law. If there is fear that they may transgress
GOD's law, they commit no error if the wife willingly gives back whatever she
chooses. These are GOD's laws; DO NOT transgress them. Those who transgress
GOD's laws are the unjust.
[2:231] If you divorce the women, once they fulfill their interim (three
menstruations), you shall allow them to live in the same home amicably, or let
them leave amicably. DO NOT force them to stay against their will, as a revenge.
Anyone who does this wrongs his own soul. DO NOT take GOD's revelations in vain.
Remember GOD's blessings upon you, and that He sent down to you the scripture
and wisdom to enlighten you. You shall observe GOD, and know that GOD is aware
of all things.
[2:232] If you divorce the women, once they fulfill their interim, DO NOT
prevent them from remarrying their husbands, if they reconcile amicably. This
shall be heeded by those among you who believe in GOD and the Last Day. This is
purer for you, and more righteous. GOD knows, while you DO NOT know.
[2:235] You commit no sin by announcing your engagement to the women, or keeping
it secret. GOD knows that you will think about them. DO NOT meet them secretly,
unless you have something righteous to discuss. DO NOT consummate the marriage
until their interim is fulfilled. You should know that GOD knows your innermost
thoughts, and observe Him. You should know that GOD is Forgiver, Clement.
[2:262] Those who spend their money in the cause of GOD, then DO NOT follow
their charity with insult or harm, will receive their recompense from their
Lord; they have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
[2:264] O you who believe, DO NOT nullify your charities by inflicting reproach
and insult, like one who spends his money to show off, while disbelieving in GOD
and the Last Day.
[2:267] O you who believe, you shall give to charity from the good things you
earn, and from what we have produced for you from the earth. DO NOT pick out the
bad therein to give away, when you yourselves DO NOT accept it unless your eyes
are closed. You should know that GOD is Rich, Praiseworthy.
[2:282] O you who believe, when you transact a loan for any period, you shall
write it down. An impartial scribe shall do the writing. No scribe shall refuse
to perform this service, according to GOD's teachings. He shall write, while the
debtor dictates the terms. He shall observe GOD his Lord and never cheat. If the
debtor is mentally incapable, or helpless, or cannot dictate, his guardian shall
dictate equitably. Two men shall serve as witnesses; if not two men, then a man
and two women whose testimony is acceptable to all.* Thus, if one woman becomes
biased, the other will remind her. It is the obligation of the witnesses to
testify when called upon to do so. DO NOT tire of writing the details, no matter
how long, including the time of repayment. This is equitable in the sight of
GOD, assures better witnessing, and eliminates any doubts you may have. Business
transactions that you execute on the spot need not be recorded, but have them
witnessed. No scribe or witness shall be harmed on account of his services. If
you harm them, it would be wickedness on your part. You shall observe GOD, and
GOD will teach you. GOD is Omniscient.
[2:283] If you are traveling, and no scribe is available, a bond shall be posted
to guarantee repayment. If one is trusted in this manner, he shall return the
bond when due, and he shall observe GOD his Lord. DO NOT withhold any testimony
by concealing what you had witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful
at heart. GOD is fully aware of everything you do.
[2:286] GOD never burdens a soul beyond its means: to its credit is what it
earns, and against it is what it commits. "Our Lord, DO NOT condemn us if we
forget or make mistakes. Our Lord, and protect us from blaspheming against You,
like those before us have done. Our Lord, protect us from sinning until it
becomes too late for us to repent. Pardon us and forgive us. You are our Lord
and Master. Grant us victory over the disbelieving people."
[3:60] This is the truth from your Lord; DO NOT harbor any doubts.
[3:73] "And DO NOT believe except as those who follow your religion." Say, "The
true guidance is GOD's guidance." If they claim that they have the same
guidance, or argue with you about your Lord, say, "All grace is in GOD's hand;
He bestows it upon whomever He wills." GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient.
[3:102] O you who believe, you shall observe GOD as He should be observed, and
DO NOT die except as Muslim.
[3:103] You shall hold fast to the rope of GOD, all of you, and DO NOT be
divided. Recall GOD's blessings upon you - you used to be enemies and He
reconciled your hearts. By His grace, you became brethren. You were at the brink
of a pit of fire, and He saved you therefrom. GOD thus explains His revelations
for you, that you may be guided.
[3:105] DO NOT be like those who became divided and disputed, despite the clear
proofs that were given to them. For these have incurred a terrible retribution.
[3:118] O you who believe, DO NOT befriend outsiders who never cease to wish you
harm; they even wish to see you suffer. Hatred flows out of their mouths and
what they hide in their chests is far worse. We thus clarify the revelations for
you, if you understand.
[3:156] O you who believe, DO NOT be like those who disbelieved and said of
their kinsmen who traveled or mobilized for war, "Had they stayed with us, they
would not have died or gotten killed." GOD renders this a source of grief in
their hearts. GOD controls life and death. GOD is Seer of everything you do.
[3:169] DO NOT think that those who are killed in the cause of GOD are dead;
they are alive at their Lord, enjoying His provisions.
[3:175] It is the devil's system to instill fear into his subjects. DO NOT fear
them and fear Me instead, if you are believers.
[3:176] DO NOT be saddened by those who hasten to disbelieve. They never hurt
GOD in the least. Instead, GOD has willed that they will have no share in the
Hereafter. They have incurred a terrible retribution.
[3:196] DO NOT be impressed by the apparent success of disbelievers.
[4:2] You shall hand over to the orphans their rightful properties. DO NOT
substitute the bad for the good, and DO NOT consume their properties by
combining them with yours. This would be a gross injustice.
[4:5] DO NOT give immature orphans the properties that GOD has entrusted with
you as guardians. You shall provide for them therefrom, and clothe them, and
treat them kindly.
[4:6] You shall test the orphans when they reach puberty. As soon as you find
them mature enough, give them their property. DO NOT consume it extravagantly in
a hurry, before they grow up. The rich guardian shall not charge any wage, but
the poor guardian may charge equitably. When you give them their properties, you
shall have witnesses. GOD suffices as Reckoner.
[4:22] DO NOT marry the women who were previously married to your fathers -
existing marriages are exempted and shall not be broken - for it is a gross
offense, and an abominable act.
[4:29] O you who believe, DO NOT consume each others' properties illicitly -
only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill
yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.
[4:36] You shall worship GOD alone - DO NOT associate anything with Him. You
shall regard the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, the related
neighbor, the unrelated neighbor.
[4:43] O you who believe, DO NOT observe Prayers (Salat) while intoxicated, so
that you know what you are saying. Nor after sexual orgasm without bathing,
unless you are on the road, traveling; if you are ill or traveling, or you had
urinary or fecal-related excretion (such as gas), or contacted the women
(sexually), and you cannot find water, you shall observe Tayammum (dry ablution)
by touching clean dry soil, then wiping your faces and hands therewith. GOD is
Pardoner, Forgiver.
[4:89] They wish that you disbelieve as they have disbelieved, then you become
equal. DO NOT consider them friends, unless they mobilize along with you in the
cause of GOD. If they turn against you, you shall fight them, and you may kill
them when you encounter them in war. You shall not accept them as friends, or
allies.*
[4:94] O you who believe, if you strike in the cause of GOD, you shall be
absolutely sure. DO NOT say to one who offers you peace, "You are not a
believer," seeking the spoils of this world. For GOD possesses infinite spoils.
Remember that you used to be like them, and GOD blessed you. Therefore, you
shall be absolutely sure (before you strike). GOD is fully Cognizant of
everything you do.
[4:104] DO NOT waver in pursuing the enemy. If you suffer, they also suffer.
However, you expect from GOD what they never expect. GOD is Omniscient, Most
Wise.
[4:107] DO NOT argue on behalf of those who have wronged their own souls; GOD
does not love any betrayer, guilty.
[4:108] They hide from the people, and DO NOT care to hide from GOD, though He
is with them as they harbor ideas He dislikes. GOD is fully aware of everything
they do.
[4:129] You can never be equitable in dealing with more than one wife, no matter
how hard you try. Therefore, DO NOT be so biased as to leave one of them hanging
(neither enjoying marriage, nor left to marry someone else). If you correct this
situation and maintain righteousness, GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[4:135] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe GOD,
when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your
relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, GOD takes care of both.
Therefore, DO NOT be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard
(this commandment), then GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
[4:154] And we raised Mount Sinai above them, as we took their covenant. And we
said to them, "Enter the gate humbly." And we said to them, "DO NOT desecrate
the Sabbath." Indeed, we took from them a solemn covenant.
[4:171] O people of the scripture, DO NOT transgress the limits of your
religion, and DO NOT say about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son
of Mary, was a messenger of GOD, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a
revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. You
shall not say, "Trinity." You shall refrain from this for your own good. GOD is
only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him
belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord
and Master.
[5:2] O you who believe, DO NOT violate the rites instituted by GOD, nor the
Sacred Months, nor the animals to be offered, nor the garlands marking them, nor
the people who head for the Sacred Shrine (Ka`bah) seeking blessings from their
Lord and approval. Once you complete the pilgrimage, you may hunt.* DO NOT be
provoked into aggression by your hatred of people who once prevented you from
going to the Sacred Masjid. You shall cooperate in matters of righteousness and
piety; DO NOT cooperate in matters that are sinful and evil. You shall observe
GOD. GOD is strict in enforcing retribution.
[5:3] Prohibited for you are animals that die of themselves, blood, the meat of
pigs, and animals dedicated to other than GOD. (Animals that die of themselves
include those) strangled, struck with an object, fallen from a height, gored,
attacked by a wild animal - unless you save your animal before it dies - and
animals sacrificed on altars. Also prohibited is dividing the meat through a
game of chance; this is an abomination. Today, the disbelievers have given up
concerning (the eradication of) your religion; DO NOT fear them and fear Me
instead. Today, I have completed your religion, perfected My blessing upon you,
and I have decreed Submission as the religion for you. If one is forced by
famine (to eat prohibited food), without being deliberately sinful, then GOD is
Forgiver, Merciful.
[5:8] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe GOD,
when you serve as witnesses. DO NOT be provoked by your conflicts with some
people into committing injustice. You shall be absolutely equitable, for it is
more righteous. You shall observe GOD. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you
do.
[5:21] "O my people, enter the holy land that GOD has decreed for you, and DO
NOT rebel, lest you become losers."
[5:26] He said, "Henceforth, it is forbidden them for forty years, during which
they will roam the earth aimlessly. DO NOT grieve over such wicked people."
[5:41] O you messenger, DO NOT be saddened by those who hasten to disbelieve
among those who say, "We believe," with their mouths, while their hearts DO NOT
believe. Among the Jews,
[5:44] We have sent down the Torah,* containing guidance and light. Ruling in
accordance with it were the Jewish prophets, as well as the rabbis and the
priests, as dictated to them in GOD's scripture, and as witnessed by them.
Therefore, DO NOT reverence human beings; you shall reverence Me instead. And DO
NOT trade away My revelations for a cheap price. Those who DO NOT rule in
accordance with GOD's revelations are the disbelievers.
[5:48] Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous
scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with
GOD's revelations, and DO NOT follow their wishes if they differ from the truth
that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed laws and different rites. Had
GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the
test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in
righteousness. To GOD is your final destiny - all of you - then He will inform
you of everything you had disputed.
[5:49] You shall rule among them in accordance with GOD's revelations to you. DO
NOT follow their wishes, and beware lest they divert you from some of GOD's
revelations to you. If they turn away, then know that GOD wills to punish them
for some of their sins. Indeed, many people are wicked.
[5:51] O you who believe, DO NOT take certain Jews and Christians as allies;
these are allies of one another. Those among you who ally themselves with these
belong with them. GOD does not guide the transgressors.
[5:57] O you who believe, DO NOT befriend those among the recipients of previous
scripture who mock and ridicule your religion, nor shall you befriend the
disbelievers. You shall reverence GOD, if you are really believers.
[5:68] Say, "O people of the scripture, you have no basis until you uphold the
Torah, and the Gospel, and what is sent down to you herein from your Lord." For
sure, these revelations from your Lord will cause many of them to plunge deeper
into transgression and disbelief. Therefore, DO NOT feel sorry for the
disbelieving people.
[5:77] Say, "O people of the scripture, DO NOT transgress the limits of your
religion beyond the truth, and DO NOT follow the opinions of people who have
gone astray, and have misled multitudes of people; they are far astray from the
right path."
[5:87] O you who believe, DO NOT prohibit good things that are made lawful by
GOD, and DO NOT aggress; GOD dislikes the aggressors.
[5:95] O you who believe, DO NOT kill any game during pilgrimage. Anyone who
kills any game on purpose, his fine shall be a number of livestock animals that
is equivalent to the game animals he killed. The judgment shall be set by two
equitable people among you. They shall make sure that the offerings reach the
Ka`bah. Otherwise, he may expiate by feeding poor people, or by an equivalent
fast to atone for his offense. GOD has pardoned past offenses. But if anyone
returns to such an offense, GOD will avenge it. GOD is Almighty, Avenger.
[5:101] O you who believe, DO NOT ask about matters which, if revealed to you
prematurely, would hurt you. If you ask about them in light of the Quran, they
will become obvious to you. GOD has deliberately overlooked them. GOD is
Forgiver, Clement.
[6:14] Say, "Shall I accept other than GOD as a Lord and Master, when He is the
Initiator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds but is not fed?" Say, "I am
commanded to be the most devoted submitter, and, `DO NOT be an idol worshiper.
[6:35] If their rejection gets to be too much for you, you should know that even
if you dug a tunnel through the earth, or climbed a ladder into the sky, and
produced a miracle for them (they still would not believe). Had GOD willed, He
could have guided them, unanimously. Therefore, DO NOT behave like the ignorant
ones.
[6:52] And DO NOT dismiss those who implore their Lord day and night, devoting
themselves to Him alone. You are not responsible for their reckoning, nor are
they responsible for your reckoning. If you dismiss them, you will be a
transgressor.
[6:68] If you see those who mock our revelations, you shall avoid them until
they delve into another subject. If the devil causes you to forget, then, as
soon as you remember, DO NOT sit with such evil people.
[6:76] When the night fell, he saw a shining planet. "Maybe this is my Lord," he
said. When it disappeared, he said, "I DO NOT like (gods) that disappear."
[6:108] DO NOT curse the idols they set up beside GOD, lest they blaspheme and
curse GOD, out of ignorance. We have adorned the works of every group in their
eyes. Ultimately, they return to their Lord, then He informs them of everything
they had done.
[6:121] DO NOT eat from that upon which the name of GOD has not been mentioned,
for it is an abomination. The devils inspire their allies to argue with you; if
you obey them, you will be idol worshipers.
[6:141] He is the One who established gardens, trellised and untrellised, and
palm trees, and crops with different tastes, and olives, and pomegranate -
fruits that are similar, yet dissimilar. Eat from their fruits, and give the due
alms on the day of harvest,* and DO NOT waste anything. He does not love the
wasters.
[6:142] Some livestock supply you with transportation, as well as bedding
materials. Eat from GOD's provisions to you, and DO NOT follow the steps of
Satan; he is your most ardent enemy.
[6:150] Say, "Bring your witnesses who would testify that GOD has prohibited
this or that." If they testify, DO NOT testify with them. Nor shall you follow
the opinions of those who reject our revelations, and those who disbelieve in
the Hereafter, and those who stray away from their Lord.
[6:152] You shall not touch the orphans' money except in the most righteous
manner, until they reach maturity. You shall give full weight and full measure
when you trade, equitably. We DO NOT burden any soul beyond its means. You shall
be absolutely just when you bear witness, even against your relatives. You shall
fulfill your covenant with GOD. These are His commandments to you, that you may
take heed.
[6:153] This is My path - a straight one. You shall follow it, and DO NOT follow
any other paths, lest they divert you from His path. These are His commandments
to you, that you may be saved.
[6:159] Those who divide themselves into sects DO NOT belong with you. Their
judgment rests with GOD, then He will inform them of everything they had done.
[7:3] You shall all follow what is revealed to you from your Lord; DO NOT follow
any idols besides Him. Rarely do you take heed.
[7:19] "As for you, Adam, dwell with your wife in Paradise, and eat therefrom as
you please, but DO NOT approach this one tree, lest you fall in sin."
[7:27] O children of Adam, DO NOT let the devil dupe you as he did when he
caused the eviction of your parents from Paradise, and the removal of their
garments to expose their bodies. He and his tribe see you, while you DO NOT see
them. We appoint the devils as companions of those who DO NOT believe.
[7:56] DO NOT corrupt the earth after it has been set straight, and worship Him
out of reverence, and out of hope. Surely, GOD's mercy is attainable by the
righteous.
[7:73] To Thamoud we sent their brother Saaleh. He said, "O my people, worship
GOD; you have no other god beside Him. Proof has been provided for you from your
Lord: here is GOD's camel, to serve as a sign for you. Let her eat from GOD's
land, and DO NOT touch her with any harm, lest you incur a painful retribution.
[7:74] "Recall that He made you inheritors after `Aad, and established you on
earth, building mansions in its valleys, and carving homes from its mountains.
You shall remember GOD's blessings, and DO NOT roam the earth corruptingly."
[7:85] To Midyan we sent their brother Shu`aib. He said, "O my people, worship
GOD; you have no other god beside Him. Proof has come to you from your Lord. You
shall give full weight and full measure when you trade. DO NOT cheat the people
out of their rights. DO NOT corrupt the earth after it has been set straight.
This is better for you, if you are believers.
[7:86] "Refrain from blocking every path, seeking to repel those who believe
from the path of GOD, and DO NOT make it crooked. Remember that you used to be
few and He multiplied your number. Recall the consequences for the wicked.
[7:131] When good omens came their way, they said, "We have deserved this," but
when a hardship afflicted them, they blamed Moses and those with him. In fact,
their omens are decided only by GOD, but most of them DO NOT know.
[7:142] We summoned Moses for thirty* nights, and completed them by adding ten.*
Thus, the audience with his Lord lasted forty* nights. Moses said to his brother
Aaron, "Stay here with my people, maintain righteousness, and DO NOT follow the
ways of the corruptors."
[7:205] You shall remember your Lord within yourself, publicly, privately, and
quietly, day and night; DO NOT be unaware.*
[8:15] O you who believe, if you encounter the disbelievers who have mobilized
against you, DO NOT turn back and flee.
[8:20] O you who believe, obey GOD and His messenger, and DO NOT disregard him
while you hear.
[8:21] DO NOT be like those who say, "We hear," when they DO NOT hear.
[8:22] The worst creatures in the sight of GOD are the deaf and dumb, who DO NOT
understand.
[8:27] O you who believe, DO NOT betray GOD and the messenger, and DO NOT betray
those who trust you, now that you know.
[8:46] You shall obey GOD and His messenger, and DO NOT dispute among
yourselves, lest you fail and scatter your strength. You shall steadfastly
persevere. GOD is with those who steadfastly persevere.
[8:47] DO NOT be like those who left their homes grudgingly, only to show off,
and in fact discouraged others from following the path of GOD. GOD is fully
aware of everything they do.
[9:4] If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and DO NOT violate
it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty
with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous.
[9:23] O you who believe, DO NOT ally yourselves even with your parents and your
siblings, if they prefer disbelieving over believing. Those among you who ally
themselves with them are transgressing.
[9:34] O you who believe, many religious leaders and preachers take the people's
money illicitly, and repel from the path of GOD. Those who hoard the gold and
silver, and DO NOT spend them in the cause of GOD, promise them a painful
retribution.
[9:55] DO NOT be impressed by their money, or their children. GOD causes these
to be sources of retribution for them in this life, and (when they die) their
souls depart while they are disbelievers.
[9:66] DO NOT apologize. You have disbelieved after having believed. If we
pardon some of you, we will punish others among you, as a consequence of their
wickedness.
[9:85] DO NOT be impressed by their money or their children; GOD causes these to
be sources of misery for them in this world, and their souls depart as
disbelievers.
[10:61] You DO NOT get into any situation, nor do you recite any Quran, nor do
you do anything, without us being witnesses thereof as you do it. Not even an
atom's weight is out of your Lord's control, be it in the heavens or the earth.
Nor is there anything smaller than an atom, or larger, that is not recorded in a
profound record.
[10:65] DO NOT be saddened by their utterances. All power belongs to GOD. He is
the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[10:94] If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from your Lord,
then ask those who read the previous scripture. Indeed, the truth has come to
you from your Lord. DO NOT be with the doubters.
Incomplete
