Contrasts - Questions in the Quran

CONTRASTS:

QUESTIONS (IN THE QURAN)

4:60 – Has thou not turned thy visition to those who declare that they believe in the revelations that have come to thee and to those before thee?

4:75 - And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated

(and oppressed)?

4:78 -But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?

4:144 -O ye who believe! Take not for friends Unbelievers rather than Believers: do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?

5:50 - Do they then seek after a judgement of (the Days of ) Ignorance? But who, for a people whose faith is assured, can give better judgement than Allah?

5:84 What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, seeing that we long for our Lord to admit us to the company of the righteous?

6:32 - What is the life of this world but play and amusement? But best is the home in the Hereafter for those who are righteous. Will ye not then understand? 855

6:40 - 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!

6:46 - 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. 864

6:47 -Say: “Think ye, if the Punishment of Allah come to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?

6:50 - Can the blind be held equal to the seeing? Will ye then consider not?

6:53 - Thus did We try some of them by comparison with others that they should say: Is it these then that Allah hath favored from amongst us?" Doth not Allah know best those who are grateful? 872

6:63 - Say: “Who is it that delivereth you from the dark recess 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’?”

6:81 - “How should I fear (the beings) ye associate with Allah, when ye fear not to give partners to Allah without any warrant having been given to you? Which of (us) two parties hath more right to security? (tell me) if ye know.

6:95 - It is Allah Who causeth the seed grain and the date stone to split and sprout. He causeth the living to issue from the dead, and He is the One to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is Allah: then how are ye deluded away from the truth?

6:101- How can He have a son when He hath no consort?

6:122 - Can he who was dead to whom We gave life and a Light whereby he can walk amongst men be like him who is in the depths of darkness from which he can never come out? Thus to those without faith their own deeds seem pleasing. 945

7:4 - How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)?

7:63 - “Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord, through a man of your own people, to warn you - so that ye may fear Allah and haply receive His Mercy?”

7:71 - Dispute ye with me over names which ye have devised - ye and your fathers - without authority from Allah?

7:97 -Did the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of Our wrath by night while they were asleep?

7:98 - Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (carefree)?

7:99 - Did they then feel secure against the Plan of Allah?

7:147 - Those who reject Our Signs and the Meeting in the Hereafter - vain are their deeds: Can they expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought?

7:164 - When some of them said: “Why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?” Said the preachers: “to discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance they may fear Him

7:185 - Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their term is nigh drawing to an end? In what Message after this will they then believe

7:187 - They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time?

7:195 - 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! 1168

1168 Here is a test and a challenge. If the false gods had any power or even existence, collect them all together, and, says the Prophet of Allah, "Let them do their worst against me." They cannot: because the whole thing is based on a superstition and a chimaera. (7.195)

8:34 - But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the Sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians aexcept the righteous;

9:13 - Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and took the aggressive by being the first (to asssault) you?

9:16 - Or think ye that ye shall be abondoned, as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main, and take none for friends and protectors except Allah, His Messenger, and the (community of) Believers?

9:38 - O ye who believe! what is the matter with you; that, when ye are asked to go forth in the Cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter?

9:82 - Let them laugh a little: much will they weep: a recompense for the (evil) that they do. 1336

1336 They may sneer or ridicule or rejoice now: that will be only for a little: much will they have to weep for afterwards. (9.82)

9:104 - Know they not that Allah doth accept repentance from his votaries and receives their gifts of charity, and that Allah is verily He, the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful?

9:109 - Which then is best? he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? And it doth crumble to pieces with him into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong. 1359

9:124 - Whenever there cometh down a Surah some of them say: "which of you has had his faith increased by it? Yea those who believe their faith is increased and they do rejoice. 1375

9:126 - See they not that they are tried every year once or twice?

9:127 - Whenever there cometh down a Surah, they look at each other, (saying), “Doth anyone see you?” then they turn aside: Allah hath turned their hearts (from the light); for they are a people that understand not.

10:3 - This is Allah your Lord; Him therefore serve ye: will ye not receive admonition?

10:16 - Will ye not then understand?

10:31 - 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)?”

10:32 - Such is Allah, your real Cherisher and Sustaianer: Apart from Truth, what (remains) but error? How then are ye turned away?

10:34 - “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)?”

10:35 - Of your ‘partners’ is there any that can give any guidance towards Truth?”

10:38 - Or do they say, “He forged it”?

10:42 - Among them are some who (pretend to) listen to thee: But canst thou make the deaf to hear - even though they are without understanding?

10:43 - And among them are some who look at thee: But canst thou guide the blind - even though they will not see?

10:48 - They say: “When will this promise come to pass - if ye speak the truth?”

10:55 - Is it not (the case) that to Allah belongeth whatever is in the heavens and on earth? Is it not (the case) that Allah’s promise is assuredly true? Yet most of them understand not.

10:59 - Say: “See ye what things Allah hath sent down to you for sustenance?

10:60 - And what think those who invent lies against Allah, of the Day of Judgement?

10:102- Do they then expect (anything) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them?

11:14 - “If then they (your false gods ) answer not your (call ), know ye that this Revelation is sent down (replete) with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but He! Will ye even then submit (to Islam)?”

11:24 - These two kinds (of men) may be compared to the blind and deaf, and those who can see and hear well. Are they equal when compared? Will ye not then take heed?

11:30 - “And O my People! Who would help me against Allah if I drove them away? Will ye not then take heed?”

11:62 - Dost thou (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped?

11:78 - Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame about my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?”

13:16 - Say: “Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?”

13:19 - Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind?

13:31 -Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the Right)?

15:32 - (Allah) said: “O Iblis! What is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?”

15:96 - Those who adopt with Allah another god: but soon will they come to know.

16:17 - Is then He Who creates like one that creates not?

16:27 - Then, on the Day of Judgement, He will cover them with shame, and say: “Where are My ‘partners’ concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?”

17:49 - They say: “What! When we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new creation?”

18:9 - Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the inscription were wonders among Our Signs?

18:57 - And who doth more wrong than one who is reminded of the Signs of his Lord but turns away from them forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent forth? Verily We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this and over their ears deafness. If thou callest them to guidance even then will they never accept guidance. 2401

2401 Considering the power of sin, and how it gets hold of the hearts of men, and considering all the wrongs that men have done, it is the height of folly and injustice on their part to turn away from warnings which are given expressly for their good. But a stage of callousness is reached, when, by their own choice, they have rendered themselves impervious to Allah's Grace. At that stage a veil is put over their hearts and they are left alone for a time, that they may commune with themselves and perhaps repent and seek Allah's Mercy again. If they do not, it is their own loss. See next verse. (18.57)

18:104 - "Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works?" 2449

2449 Many people have such a smug sense of self-righteousness that while they go on doing wrong, they think that they are acquiring merit. So, in charity, all the elements that make for outward show or selfishness (as to get some worldly advantage) nullify the deed of charity. In the same way hypocrites sometimes affect to be surprised that their declared effort for somebody's good is not appreciated, when they are really seeking some hidden gain or false glory for themselves. The sincere are only those who believe in their spiritual responsibility and act as in Allah's sight. (18.104)

18:109 - 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." 2453

19:65 - “Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that is between them: so worship Him, and be constant and patient in His worship: knowest thou of any who is worthy of the same Name as He?”

19:67 - But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?

19:83 - Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against the Unbelievers to incite them with fury? 2527

2527 Under the laws instituted by Allah, when evil reaches a certain stage of rebellion and defiance, it is left to gather momentum and to rush with fury to its own destruction. It is given a certain amount of respite, as a last chance: but failing repentance, its days are numbered. The godly therefore should not worry themselves over the apparent worldly success of evil, but should get on with their own duties in a spirit of trust in Allah. (19.83)

20:120 - But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, “O Adam! shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?”

20:88 - "Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: it seemed to low: so they said: `This is your god and the god of Moses but (Moses) has forgotten!' " 2609 2610 2611

20:89 - Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer) and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good? 2612

21:21 - Or have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)? 2680 2681

2680 The different kinds of false gods whom people raise from their imagination are now referred to. In verses 21-23, the reference is to the gods of the earth, whether idols or local godlings, or deified heroes, or animals or trees or forces of the nature around us, which men have from time to time worshipped. These, as deities, have no life except what their worshippers give to them. (21.21)

21:52 - Behold! he said to his father and his people “What are these images, to which ye are ( so assiduously) devoted?”

22:46 - Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear?

24:22 - Let not those among you who are endued with grace and amplitude of means resolve by oath against helping their kinsmen, those in want, and those who have left their homes in Allah’s cause: Let them forgive and overlook, Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you ?

25:43 - Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him?

25:44 - Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle; - nay, they are worse astray in Path.

25:45 - Has thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord?

26:70 - Behold, he said to his father and his people: “What worship ye?”

26:73 - Or do you good or harm?”

26:106- Behold, their brother Noah said to them: “Will ye not fear (Allah)?

26:124 -Behold, their brother Hud said to them: “Will ye not fear (Allah)?

26:142 -Behold, their brother Salih said to them: “Will ye not fear (Allah)?

26:161 -Behold, their brother Lut said to them: “Will ye not fear (Allah)?

26:177 -Behold, Shu’ayb said to them: “Will ye not fear (Allah)?

26:221 -Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?

26:225 -Seest thou not that they wander distractedly in every valley?

26:226 -And that they say what they practise not?

27:59 -(Who) is better? - Allah or the false gods they associate (with Him)?

27:60 -Or, who has created the heavens and the earth, and who sends you down rain from the sky? (Can there be another) god besides Allah?

27:61 -Or, who has made the earth firm to livein;made rivers in its midst; thereon mountains immovable, and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? (Can there be another) god besides Allah?

27:62 - Or, who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah?

27:63 - Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy? ( Can there be another) god besides Allah?

27:64 - Or, who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah?

27:67 - The Unbelievers say: “What! When we become dust - we and our fathers - shall we really be raised (from the dead)?

27:71 - They also say: “When will this promise (come to pass)?

27:90 - “Do ye receive a reward other than that which ye have earned by your deeds?”

28:60 - The (material) things which ye are given are but the conveniences of this life and the glitter thereof; but that which is with Allah is better and more enduring: Will ye not then be wise?

28:62 - That Day (Allah) will call to them, and say: “Where are My ‘ partners’ ? Whom you imagined ( to be such) ?”

28:71 - Say: “See ye? If Allah were to make the Night perpetual over you to the Day of Judgement, what god is there other than Allah, who can give you enlightenment? Will ye not then hearken?

28:74 - The Day that He will call on them, He will say: “Where are my partners? Whom ye imagined (to be such)?”

29:4 - Do those who practise evil think that they will get the better of Us?

29:10 - Does not Allah know best all that is in the hearts of all Creation?!

29:64 - What is the life of this world but amusement and play?

29:68 - And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah or rejects the Truth when it reaches him? Is there not a home in Hell for those who reject Faith?

31:20 - Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the heavens and on earth;, and has made His bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen?

31:31 - Seest thou not that the ships sail through the Oceans by the grace of Allah?

32:3 - Or do they say, “He has forged it”?

32:18 - Is then the man who believes no better than the man who is rebellious and wicked? No equal are they. 3651

32:27 - And do they not see that We do drive Rain to parched soil (bare of herbage), and produce therewith crops, providing food for their cattle and themselves? Have they not the vision?

32:28 - They say: “When will this Decision be, if ye are telling the truth?”

35:3 - O men! call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! Is there a Creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but He: how then are ye deluded away from the Truth?

35:8 - Is he then, to whom the evil of his conduct is made alluring, so that he looks upon it as good, (equal to one who is rightly guided)?

36:35 - Will they not then give thanks?

36:60 - “Did I not enjoin on you,O ye children of Adam, that ye sould not worship Satan; for that he was to you an enemy avowed?

36:61 - “And that he should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way?

36:62 - “But he did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did ye not, then, understand?

36:68 - If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand?

37:25 - What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?

37:91 -Then did he turn to their gods and said ”Will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?

37:92 - “What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?”

37:124-Behold, he said to his people, “Will ye not fear (Allah)?

37:153-Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?

37:154-What is the matter with you? How judge ye?

37:155-Will ye not then receive admonition?

37:156-Or have ye an authority manifest?

38:28 - Shall We treat those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the same as those who do mischief on earth? Shall We treat those who guard against evil, the same as those who turn aside from the right?

39:3 - Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful. 4243 4244 4245

4244 Worshippers of Idols or of deities other than Allah, e.g., saints or perhaps Wealth and Power, Science or Selfish Desire, may pretend that these are symbols that may get them nearer to their self-development, nearer to the goal of their life, nearer to Allah, but they are altogether on the wrong track. (39.3)

39:9 - Is one who worships devoutly during the hours of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Merxcy of his Lord - (like one who does not)?

39:19 - Is then, one against whom the decree of Punishment is justly due (equal to one who eschews evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who is) in the Fire?

39:22 - Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received enlightenment from Allah, (No better than one hardhearted)?

39:43 - What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: “Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?”

39:64 - Say: “Is it someone other than Allah that ye order me to worship, O ye ignorant ones?”

4412 Faith makes him see the contrast between vanities, even though they may glitter temporarily, and the eternal Good that is destined for man. (40.39)

40:58 - Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) see: nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness and those who do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition! 4432

40:69 - Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Signs of Allah? How they are turned away (From Reality)?

41:9 - Say: “Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days?

41:34 - Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate! 4504 4505

4504 You do not return good for evil, for there is no equality or comparison between the two. You repel or destroy evil with something which is far better, just as an antidote is better than poison. You foil hatred with love. You repel ignorance with knowledge, folly and wickedness with the friendly message of Revelation. The man who was in the bondage of sin, you not only liberate from sin, but make him your greatest friend and helper in the cause of Allah! Such is the alchemy of the Word of Allah! Cf. xxiii. 96; xxviii. 54. (41.34)

41:54 - Ah indeed! are they in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord?

43:24 - He said: “What! Even if I brought you better guidance than that which ye found your fathers following?”

43:32 - Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord?

43:40 - Canst thou then make the deaf to hear or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error? 4643 4644

43:58 - And they say, “Are our gods best, or he?”

45:23 - Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire? Who then will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn guidance)? Will ye not then recveive admonition?

46:4 - 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!" 4777 4778

46:5 - And who is more astray than one who invokes besides Allah such as will not answer him to the Day of Judgement and who (in fact) are unconscious of their call (to them)? 4779

4779 As there is no argument at all in favour of your sham worship, what sense is there in it? Either your false gods are senseless stocks and stones which will never answer you to the end of Time, being themselves devoid of understanding, or they are real objects which will disown you at the last. If you worshipped Self, your own misused faculties will witness against you at the last (xli. 20-23). If you worshipped good men or prophets, like Jesus, they will disown you (v. 119). Similarly, if you worshipped angels, they will disown you (xxxiv. 40-41). (46.5)

46:34 - And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (they will be asked,) “Is this not the Truth?”

47:13 - And how many cities, with more power than thy city which has driven thee out, have We destroyed (for their sins)?

47:14 - Is then one who is on a clear (Path) from his Lord no better than one to whom the evil of his conduct seems pleasing and such as follow their own lusts? 4832

4832 Clear, or enlightened; a Path on which shines the Light of Allah. (47.14)

47:15 - (Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible: rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell for ever in the Fire and be given to drink boiling water so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)? 4833 4834 4835 4836

4833 In this description there are four kinds of drinks and all kinds of fruits; and the summing up of all delights in the "Forgiveness from their Lord". The four kinds of drinks are: (1) delicious, cool, pure water, not like earthly water, for it never suffers corruption; (2) milk which never turns Sour, whose taste is like that of fresh warm milk drawn from the udder; (3) wine, not like any wine on earth, for it leaves no headaches behind, and causes no intoxication, which is a kind of madness or poison, but is ever a joy to drink; and (4) honey, pure and clear, with no admixture of wax or any foreign substance. These drinks, will cool the spirit, feed the heart, warm the affections, and sweeten life. (47.15)

47:29 - Or do those in whose hearts is a disease, think that Allah will not bring to light all their rancour?

48:11 - Say: “Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf with Allah, if His Will is to give you some profit?

50:6 - Do they not look at the sky above them?

50:36 - But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins) - stronger in power than they? Then did hey wander through the land: Was there any place of escape (for them)?

51:12 - They ask, “When will be the Day of Judgement and Justice?”

52:35- Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?

52:36 - Or did they create the heavens and the earth?

52:37 - Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they managers (of affairs)?

52:38 - Or have they a ladder, by which they can (climb up to heaven and ) listen (to its secrets)?

52:39 - Or has He only daughters and ye have sons?

52:40 - Or is it that thou dost ask for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?

52:41 - Or that the Unseen is in their hands, and they write it down?

56:58 -Do ye then see?

56:59 -Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?

56:62 -Why then do ye not celebrate His praises?

56:63 - See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground? 5251

56:64 - Is it ye that cause it to grow or are We the Cause?

57:20 - Know ye (all) that the life of this world is but play and amusement pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying (in rivalry) among yourselves riches and children: Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong) and Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world but goods and chattels of deception? 5302 5303 5304 5305

67:8 -Almost bursting with fury: Every timea a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, “Did no Warner come to you?”

67:16 -Do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?

67:17 -Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning?

68:37 -Or have ye a Book through which ye learn --

68:38 -That ye shall have, through it whatever ye choose?

68:39 -Or have ye Covenants with Us on oath, reaching to the Day of Judgement, (providing) that ye shall have whatever ye shall demand?

68:41 -Or have they some “Partners”(in Godhead)?

68:46 -Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?

68:47 -Or that the unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down?

69:2 -What is the sure Reality?

69:3 -And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?

70:36 -Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee –

70:37 -From the right and from the left, in crowds?

71:13 -What is the matter with you, that ye place not your hope for kindness and long-suffering in Allah-

71:14 -”Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?”

71:18 -And in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)?

73:17 -Then how shall ye, if ye deny (Allah) guard yourselves against a Day that will make children hoary-headed?

73:18 -Whereon the sky will be cleft asunder?

74:27 -And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?

74:49 -Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?

77:16 -Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?

77:50 -Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?

78:1 -Concerning what are they disputing?

78:6 -Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,

78:7 -And the mountains as pegs?

78:11 -And made the day as a means of subsistence?

78:13 -And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?

78:16 -And gardens of luxurious growth?

79:10 -They say (now): “What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?”

79:11 -”What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?”

79:42 -They ask thee about the Hour - ‘When will be its appointed time?’

80:17 -Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah?

80:18 -From what stuff hath He created him?

81:26 -Then whither go ye?

90:5 -Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?

90:7 -Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

90:8 -Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?-

90:9 -And a tongue, and a pair of lips?

90:10 -And shown him the two highways?

90:12 -And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?

94:1 -Have We not expanded thee thy breast?

96:10 -A votary when he (turns) to pray?

96:11 -Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?

96:12 -Or enjoins Righteousness?

96:13 -Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?

96:14 -Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?

101:2 -What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?

101:3 -And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?

105:2 -Did he not make their treacherous plan go astray?

107:1 -Seest thou one who denies the Judgement (to come)?
