Ch 2:###168-9*****(168. O ye people! Eat of what is on earth, Lawful and good;and do not follow the footsteps of the evil one, for he is to you an avowedenemy.169. For he commands you what is evil and shameful, and that ye shouldsay of Allah that of which ye have no knowledge.)

Ch 3:###59-63*****(59. The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam;He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

60. The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.

61. If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledgeHath come to thee, say: "Come! let us gather together,- our sons and yoursons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let usearnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"

62. This is the true account: There is no god except Allah. and Allah.He isindeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

63. But if they turn back, Allah hath full knowledge of those who domischief.)

Ch 4:##38*****(38. Not those who spend of their substance, to be seen of men,but have no faith in Allah and the Last Day: If any take the Evil One for theirintimate, what a dreadful intimate he is!)##78-9*****(78. "Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are intowers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This



is from Allah.; but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "Allthings are from Allah." But what hath come to these people, that they fail tounderstand a single fact?79. Whatever good, (O man!) happens to thee, is from Allah. but whateverevil happens to thee, is from thy (own) soul. and We have sent thee as an

apostle to (instruct) mankind. And enough is Allah for a witness.)

##80*****(80. He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah. But if any turnaway, We have not sent thee to watch over their (evil deeds).)##83*****(83. When there comes to them some matter touching (Public)safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Messenger,or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigatorswould have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for the Grace and Mercyof Allah unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.)

###171-2*****(171. O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in yourreligion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Marywas (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed onMary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles.Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glorybe to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things inthe heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.172. Christ disdaineth nor to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels,those nearest (to Allah): those who disdai)

Ch 5:###17-8*****(17. In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah isChrist the son 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 heavensand the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. ForAllah hath power over all things."18. (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and hisbeloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are butmen,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and Hepunisheth 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)")

###48*****(48. To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming thescripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge betweenthem by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires,diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you havewe prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have



made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath givenyou: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah. it is Hethat will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;)###72-5*****(72. They do blaspheme who say: "(Allah) is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your

Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden,and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one tohelp.73. They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there isno god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy),verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.

74. Why turn they not to Allah, and seek His forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

75. Christ the son of Mary was no more than an apostle; many were the

apostles that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signsclear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!)

##90-3*****(90. O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of)stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan'shandwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.91. Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, withintoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah,and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?

92. Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and beware (of evil): if ye do turnback, know ye that it is Our Messenger.s duty to proclaim (the message) inthe clearest manner.

93. On those who believe and do deeds of righteousness there is no blamefor what they ate (in the past), when they guard themselves from evil, andbelieve, and do deeds of righteousness,- (or) again, guard themselves fromevil and believe,- (or) again, guard themselves from evil and do good. ForAllah loveth those who do good.)

110*****(110. Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount Myfavour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy

spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity.Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel andbehold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave,and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thouhealest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thoubringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Childrenof Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs,and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.')



###116-20*****(116. And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary!Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogationof Allah.?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right(to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thouknowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou

knowest in full all that is hidden.117. "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me tosay, to wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness overthem whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wastthe Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.

118. "If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgivethem, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise."

119. Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from theirtruth: theirs are gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal Home:

Allah well-pleased with them, and they with Allah. That is the great salvation,(the fulfilment of all desires).

120. To Allah doth belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and allthat is therein, and it is He Who hath power over all things.)

Ch 6:###90-2*****(90. 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."91. No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: "Nothing dothAllah send down to man (by way of revelation)" Say: "Who then sent downthe Book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make itinto (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 discourseand trifling.

##101-7*****(101. To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and theearth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created allthings, and He hath full knowledge of all things.102. That is Allah, your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all

things: then worship ye Him: and He hath power to dispose of all affairs.

103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above allcomprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.

104. "Now have come to you, from your Lord, proofs (to open your eyes): if any will see, it will be for (the good of) his own soul; if any will be blind, it willbe to his own (harm): I am not (here) to watch over your doings."



here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."

14. He said: "Give me respite till the day they are raised up."

15. ((Allah)) said: "Be thou among those who have respite."

16. He said: "Because thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie inwait for them on thy straight way:

17. "Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from theirright and their left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for thymercies)."

18. ((Allah)) said: "Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If any of themfollow thee,- Hell will I fill with you all.

19. "O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and enjoy (its good

things) as ye wish: but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm andtransgression."

20. Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openlybefore their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): hesaid: "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels orsuch beings as live for ever."

21. And he swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser.

22. So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree,

their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together theleaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "DidI not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy untoyou?"

23. They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: If thou forgive usnot and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost."

24. ((Allah)) said: "Get ye down. With enmity between yourselves. On earthwill be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood,- for a time."

25. He said: "Therein shall ye live, and therein shall ye die; but from it shall

ye be taken out (at last).")

26-31*****(26. O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon youto cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raimentof righteousness,- that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, thatthey may receive admonition!27. O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the samemanner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of



their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch youfrom a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil onesfriends (only) to those without faith.

28. When they do aught that is shameful, they say: "We found our fathers

doing so"; and "(Allah) commanded us thus": Say: "Nay, Allah nevercommands what is shameful: do ye say of Allah what ye know not?"

29. Say: "My Lord hath commanded justice; and that ye set yourwhole selves (to Him) at every time and place of prayer, and callupon Him, making your devotion sincere as in His sight: such as Hecreated you in the beginning, so shall ye return."

30. Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil ones, in preference to Allah, for theirfriends and protectors, and think that they receive guidance.

31. O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and placeof prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not thewasters.)

###54*****(54. Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens andthe earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority):He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapidsuccession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) governed bylaws under His command.

Sincere is my advice to you, and I know from Allah something that ye knownot.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 Allahand haply receive His Mercy?"

###143*****(143. When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his

Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I maylook upon thee." Allah said: "By no means canst thou see Me (direct); Butlook upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me." Whenhis Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He made it as dust. And Mosesfell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe.")

###157*****(157. "Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered



Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in thelaw and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids themwhat is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibitsthem from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavyburdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in

him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,-it is they who will prosper.")

###187-8*****(187. They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be itsappointed time? Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): Nonebut He can reveal as to when it will occur.

Ch 10:2. Is it a matter of wonderment to men that We have sent Our inspiration to

a man from among themselves?- that he should warn mankind (of theirdanger), and give the good news to the Believers that they have before theirLord the lofty rank of truth. (But) say the Unbelievers: "This is indeed anevident sorcerer!"

3. Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in sixdays, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority), regulating andgoverning all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except after His



leave (hath been obtained). This is Allah your Lord; Him therefore serve ye:will ye not receive admonition?

11. If Allah were to hasten for men the ill (they have earned) as they wouldfain hasten on the good,- then would their respite be settled at once. But We

leave those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, in theirtrespasses, wandering in distraction to and fro.

12. When trouble toucheth a man, He crieth unto Us (in all postures)- lyingdown on his side, or sitting, or standing. But when We have solved histrouble, he passeth on his way as if he had never cried to Us for a troublethat touched him! thus do the deeds of transgressors seem fair in their eyes!

And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single rootsor otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We makemore excellent than others to eat.
