General Details

Allah has promised those among you who believe and do good that He will grant them succession in the land, just as He did for those before them; He will establish for them their faith, the one He has chosen for them, and replace their fear with security. They will worship Me alone, not associating anything with Me.

But whoever does righteous deeds while believing will fear no injustice or deprivation.

Indeed, those who say, “Our Lord is Allah,” and then remain steadfast, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.

As for those who believe and do good, He will grant them their reward in full and increase them in His bounty.

O children of Adam! If messengers come to you, reciting My signs, then whoever is mindful and reforms will have no fear nor grief.

Those given knowledge see that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, guiding to the path of Allah

And to worship Me alone? This is the straight path.

“This is My straight path, so follow it. Do not follow other ways, lest they lead you away from His path. This He has commanded you, so that you may be mindful.”

If they had stayed true to the path, We would have given them abundant water to drink

Those who believe in Allah and His Messenger are the truthful ones and witnesses before their Lord. They shall have their reward and their light.

Clear proofs have come to you from your Lord. Whoever sees the truth does so for their own benefit, and whoever turns away does so at their own loss.

Guide us to the straight path

The path of those whom You have blessed

He guides whom He wills to a path that is straight and true.

Whoever does righteous deeds while believing, his efforts will not be denied, and We will make a record of them.

Except those who believe, do good, remember Allah often, and defend themselves after being wronged.

When injustice befalls them, they defend themselves.

And whoever does good, they are preparing for themselves

So that He may reward those who believe and do good from His bounty.

They regard it as a favour to you that they have submitted. Say: Do not regard your submission as a favour to me. Rather, it is Allah who has favoured you by guiding you to faith, if you are truthful.

As for those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into His mercy and grace and guide them to Himself on a straight path.

Or We may show you what We promised them.

Hold fast to what has been revealed to you, you are upon a straight path.

It is a reminder for you and your people, and you will be questioned.

Among those We created is a community that guides with truth and establishes justice accordingly.

Whoever holds firmly to Allah is truly guided.

Allah calls to the home of peace and guides whom He wills to the straight path.

Allah guides whom He wills and leaves others to wander astray.

These are the ones truly guided by their Lord, and they will be successful."

These are upon guidance from their Lord, and they are the truly successful.

True believers are those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, whose faith strengthens when His verses are recited, and who place their trust in their Lord.

Believers, when you are told to make room in gatherings, do so, and Allah will make room for you. When you are told to rise, then rise. Allah will elevate those among you who believe and those given knowledge. He is fully aware of what you do.

I respond to the call of the supplicant when they call upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me, so that they may be rightly guided.

Do not turn away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure. You are not accountable for them, nor are they accountable for you. If you were to dismiss them, you would be among the unjust.

Those who listen to the word and follow the best of it are the ones whom Allah has guided, and they are the people of understanding.

Who is better in speech than one who calls to Allah, does righteousness, and says, “I am among those who submit”?

‘Our Lord, we have heard a caller inviting us to faith, saying, “Believe in your Lord,” and we have believed. So, forgive our sins, erase our misdeeds, and grant us a righteous end.’

These were the ones guided by Allah, so follow their guidance. Say, “I ask no reward for this; it is only a reminder for all people.”

Do the believers not realize that had He willed, He could have guided all people?

They pray, ‘Our Lord, do not let our hearts stray after You have guided us. Grant us mercy from Yourself.

We will surely test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives, and crops.

Whatever misfortune befalls you is due to what your hands have earned, yet He pardons much.

Or He may cause them to perish for what they have earned, yet He pardons much.

Those who, when afflicted, say, ‘We belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return.’

Upon them are blessings and mercy from their Lord, and they are the rightly guided.

We will test you until We make clear those who strive among you and those who are steadfast. And We will expose your claims.

Beware of a trial that will not only afflict the wrongdoers among you.

Know that your wealth and children are a test.

You will surely be tested in your wealth and yourselves, and you will hear much abuse from those who were given the Scripture before you and from the polytheists. But if you remain patient and mindful of Allah, that is the best course.

“So that Allah may refine the hearts of the faithful, tempering them through trials

You desire the gains of this world, but Allah desires the Hereafter.

The life of this world is but play and distraction. But if you believe and are mindful, He will give you your rewards and not ask for all your wealth.

This worldly life is nothing but play and amusement

Whoever does good, it is for his own soul; and whoever does evil, it is against it. Then to your Lord you will all return.

And whoever does good willingly, Allah is Most Appreciative.

Indeed, your striving is diverse.

Whoever earns a good deed, We shall increase its goodness for him.

Whoever comes with good deeds will have better than what they brought, and will be safe from the terror of that Day.

These are the ones who race toward good deeds, and they are the first to reach them.

Then We passed the Book to those We chose among Our servants. Some wrong themselves, some are moderate, and some race ahead in good deeds by Allah’s permission. That is the great favour.

Good and evil are not equal; repel evil with what is better, and you will find that the one who was your enemy becomes your close friend.

And Allah increases guidance for those who seek it. Lasting good deeds are better in reward with your Lord and better in outcome.

These are those who say, ‘Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire.’

Remember when you were few and oppressed in the land, fearing that people might seize you. Then He sheltered you, strengthened you, and provided for you, so that you might be grateful.

“Be grateful to Allah.” Whoever is grateful benefits himself.

Why would Allah punish you if you are grateful and faithful?

They are the patient, the truthful, the devout, the generous, and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.

O believers, remain steadfast, persevere, and strengthen one another.

O believers! Stand firm in justice, bearing witness for Allah, even against yourselves, parents, or kin. Whether rich or poor, Allah is closer to all. Do not let personal desires sway you from truth. If you distort or evade justice, Allah is fully aware of your actions.

O believers! Stand firm in justice, bearing witness for Allah, even against yourselves, parents, or kin. Whether rich or poor, Allah is closer to all. Do not let personal bias sway you from truth. If you distort or evade justice, Allah is fully aware of your actions.

If He wills, He can remove you and bring forth a new people.

If He wills, He can remove you and bring forth a new creation.

Your Lord is Self-Sufficient, Full of Mercy. If He wills, He can replace you with others, just as He raised you from the descendants of others.

What you are promised will surely come to pass, and you cannot escape.

If We willed, We could take away what We revealed to you

For those who respond to their Lord is the best reward.

Those who hold firmly to the Scripture and establish prayer, We will not let their efforts go to waste.

Can one who knows that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth be like one who is blind? Only those with understanding will take heed.

Those who fulfil their covenant with Allah and do not break their pledge

Who maintain the ties that Allah has commanded to be upheld, who stand in awe of their Lord and fear a dreadful reckoning

Who remain patient, seeking their Lord’s pleasure, establish prayer, spend from what We have provided, both secretly and openly, and repel evil with good. For them is the ultimate home.

Those who believe and find peace in the remembrance of Allah, indeed, in the remembrance of Allah, hearts find rest.

For those who believe and do righteous deeds, there is bliss and a beautiful return.

But those for whom the finest outcome has already been decreed by Us, they will be kept far from it.

They will not even hear its hiss, and they will dwell forever in what their souls desire.

The Great Terror will not grieve them, and the angels will greet them: “This is your Day, the one you were promised.”

But those who emigrated after being persecuted, then struggled and endured

Whoever migrates for Allah’s cause will find many places of refuge and abundance on earth. And whoever leaves home, emigrating to Allah and His Messenger, and then death overtakes them, their reward is assured with Allah.

Whatever gains Allah turned over to His Messenger from the people of the towns belongs to Allah, the Messenger, close relatives, orphans, the needy, and the traveller, so that wealth does not circulate only among the rich among you. Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatever he forbids you, abstain.

It is also for the poor emigrants who were driven from their homes and wealth, seeking Allah’s favour and pleasure, and supporting Allah and His Messenger. They are the truthful ones.

And those who settled in the city and embraced faith before them love those who emigrated to them. They find no envy in their hearts for what the emigrants were given, but prefer them over themselves, even if they are in need. Whoever is protected from the stinginess of their soul, it is they who will succeed.

It was not fitting for the people of Medina and those around them to stay behind when Allah’s Messenger marched forth, nor to prefer their own comfort over his. They did not suffer thirst, fatigue, or hunger in Allah’s cause, nor take a step that enraged the enemy, nor gain anything from them, without it being recorded as a righteous deed. Allah does not let the reward of the righteous go to waste.

So their Lord responded, ‘I will never let the deeds of any among you go to waste, whether male or female, you are of one another. Those who emigrated, were expelled, suffered in My cause, fought, and were killed, I will erase their sins and admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, as a reward from Allah. With Him lies the finest reward.’

As for those who left their homes for Allah’s cause, then were killed or died, Allah will surely provide for them a good provision. Truly, Allah is the best of providers.

He will admit them to a place they will be pleased with.

That is so. And whoever responds in kind after being wronged, yet is then oppressed again, Allah will surely help him.

Those who emigrated for Allah after being wronged, We will grant them a good home in this world, but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they knew.

Those who endure patiently and trust in their Lord.

Did He not find you orphaned and shelter you?

And find you lost, then guide you?

And find you in need, then enrich you?

So do not mistreat the orphan

Nor turn away the seeker.

But proclaim the blessings of your Lord.

Those who harm believing men and women unjustly bear the burden of slander and clear sin.

O believers, do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly, except by trading with mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves.

O you who believe, do not be like those who hurt Moses, Allah cleared him of what they alleged, and he was held in high esteem before Allah.

You are the best community raised for humanity, you enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah.

Allah intends to lighten your burden, for humanity was created weak.

Be forgiving, command what is right

Who is better in faith than one who submits wholly to Allah, does good, and follows the way of Abraham, whom Allah chose as a close friend?

Do not falter or grieve, for you will be superior if you are true believers.

While those who believe and do good are the best of creation.

Believers are but one family, so reconcile between your brothers

Hold tightly to the rope of Allah together and do not be divided.

Let there be a community among you that calls to goodness, enjoins justice, and forbids wrongdoing, these are the successful ones.

A believer should never kill another believer, except by mistake.

O you who believe, let not one group mock another, it may be that they are better than them. Nor let women ridicule other women, it may be that they are better than them. Do not defame one another, nor call each other by offensive nicknames. How evil is a name that marks one as sinful after faith. And whoever does not repent, such are the wrongdoers.

Do not insult those they invoke besides Allah, lest they insult Allah in ignorance. Thus, We have made every people’s deeds seem fair to them. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do.

Tell My servants to speak in the best manner.

A kind word and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury.

Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not expect the Days of Allah, so that He may repay people for what they have earned.

O you who believe, avoid much suspicion, for some suspicion is sinful. Do not spy on one another, nor backbite. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it.

O humanity, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Surely the most honoured among you in Allah’s sight is the most mindful.

So, turn away from those who turn away from Our reminder, and desire nothing but the life of this world.

That is the extent of their knowledge.

When those who were followed disown their followers, and all ties between them are severed

The followers will cry, 'If only we had another chance, we would abandon them as they have abandoned us!' Thus does Allah show them their deeds as regrets.

O believers, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back, and you will become losers.

Rather, Allah is your Protector.

O believers, be mindful of Allah as He deserves, and do not die except in submission to Him.

O believers! Intoxicants, gambling, idolatrous offerings, and divining arrows are vile works of Satan, so avoid them that you may succeed.

O believers! Do not forbid the good things Allah has made lawful, nor exceed the limits. Allah does not love transgressors.

But those who shun false gods and turn to Allah will receive good news. So, give glad tidings to My servants.

Their Lord gives them good news of mercy and pleasure

And give good news to those who do good.

But give glad tidings to those who endure

Give glad tidings to those who believe

Bringing good news to the believers who do righteous deeds

Give good news to the righteous

That is the good news Allah gives to His servants who believe and do good. Say: I ask no reward from you for this, except love among kin.

And give good news to the humble

Whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, who endure hardship patiently, establish prayer, and give from what We provided.

Do not make Allah’s name an excuse to avoid doing good, being mindful, or reconciling between people.

Allah does not hold you accountable for unintentional oaths, but He does for what your hearts truly intend. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

They swear by Allah with their strongest oaths: “If you command us, we will surely go forth.” Say: “Do not swear, your obedience is already known.

Allah does not hold you accountable for thoughtless oaths, but He does for those made with intent. The expiation is feeding ten needy people, clothing them, or freeing a slave. If unable, then fasting for three days. Keep your oaths.

Fulfill your pledges when you make them, and do not break oaths after confirming them, for you have made Allah your witness. Surely, Allah knows what you do.

Do not use your oaths to deceive one another, lest your feet slip after being firm, and you taste punishment for turning others away from Allah’s path.

Then the believers will say, “Are these the ones who swore by Allah that they stood with us?” Their deeds have been rendered void, and they are now among the lost.

And they say, ‘Only trust those who follow your faith.’ Say, ‘True guidance is Allah’s guidance.’ If they fear that someone else may receive knowledge like theirs or argue against them before their Lord, say, ‘All bounty is in Allah’s hand.

O believers! Do not ask about matters which, if revealed, may trouble you. If you ask while the Quran is being sent down, they will be made clear.
