"Alif, Lām, Meem."— Sahih Intl

"God -- there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence."— Sahih Intl

"He has sent down upon you, [O Mu- hammad], the Book in truth, confirm- ing what was before it. And He re- vealed the Torah and the Gospel."— Sahih Intl

"Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Criterion [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of God will have a severe punishment, and God is Exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, from God nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven."— Sahih Intl

"It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity ex- cept Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."— Sahih Intl

"It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise -- they are the founda- tion of the Book -- and others unspecif- ic. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except God. But those firm in knowledge say, “We be-"— Sahih Intl

"[Who say], “Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. In- deed, You are the Bestower."— Sahih Intl

"Our Lord, surely You will gather the people for a Day about which there is no doubt. Indeed, God does not fail in His promise.”"— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those who disbelieve -- never will their wealth or their children avail them against God at all. And it is they who are fuel for the Fire."— Sahih Intl

"[Theirs is] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied Our signs, so God seized them for their sins. And God is severe in penalty."— Sahih Intl

"Say to those who disbelieve, “You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place.”"— Sahih Intl

"Already there has been for you a sign in the two armies which met [in combat at Badr] -- one fighting in the cause of God and another of disbelievers. They saw them [to be] twice their [own] number by [their] eyesight. But God supports with His victory whom He wills. Indeed in that is a lesson for those of vision."— Sahih Intl

"Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire -- of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and sil- ver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of"— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For those who fear God will be gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and puri- fied spouses and approval from God. And God is Seeing [i.e., aware] of [His] servants --"— Sahih Intl

"Those who say, “Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire,”"— Sahih Intl

"The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the way of God], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn."— Sahih Intl

"God witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge -- [that He is] main- taining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, the religion in the sight of God is Islām. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them -- out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of God, then indeed, God is swift in [taking] account."— Sahih Intl

"So if they argue with you, say, “I have submitted myself to God [in Islām], and [so have] those who follow me.” And say to those who were given the Scripture and [to] the unlearned, “Have you submitted yourselves?” And if they submit [in Islām], they are rightly"— Sahih Intl

"Those who disbelieve in the signs of God and kill the prophets without right and kill those who order justice from among the people -- give them tidings of a painful punishment."— Sahih Intl

"They are the ones whose deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and for them there will be no helpers."— Sahih Intl

"Do you not consider, [O Muhammad], those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They are invited to the Scrip- ture of God that it should arbitrate be- tween them; then a party of them turns away, and they are refusing."— Sahih Intl

"That is because they say, “Never will the Fire touch us except for [a few] numbered days,” and [because] they were deluded in their religion by what they were inventing."— Sahih Intl

"So how will it be when We assemble them for a Day about which there is no doubt? And each soul will be compen- sated [in full for] what it earned, and they will not be wronged."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “O God, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honour whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. In-"— Sahih Intl

"You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account [i.e., limit or measure].”"— Sahih Intl

"Let not believers take disbelievers as allies [i.e., supporters or protectors] ra- ther than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing [i.e., no as- sociation] with God, except when tak- ing precaution against them in pru- dence. And God warns you of Him- self, and to God is the [final] destina- tion."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or reveal it, God knows it. And He knows that which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth. And God is over all things competent."— Sahih Intl

"The Day every soul will find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And God warns you of Him- self, and God is Kind to [His] ser- vants.”"— Sahih Intl

"Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love God, then follow me, [so] God will love you and forgive you your sins. And God is Forgiving and Merciful.”"— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away -- then indeed, God does not like the disbelievers."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, God chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of ‘Imrān over the worlds --"— Sahih Intl

"Descendants, some of them from oth- ers. And God is Hearing and Knowing."— Sahih Intl

"[Mention, O Muhammad], when the wife of ‘Imrān said, “My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so accept this from me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”"— Sahih Intl

"But when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female.” And God was most knowing of what she delivered, and the male is not like the female. “And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of God].”"— Sahih Intl

"So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner and put her in the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah en- tered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, “O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?” She said, “It is from God. In- deed, God provides for whom He wills without account.”"— Sahih Intl

"At that, Zechariah called upon his Lord, saying, “My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.”"— Sahih Intl

"So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, “In- deed, God gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word from God and [who will be] honourable, abstain-"— Sahih Intl

"He said, “My Lord, how will I have a boy when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?” He [the angel] said, “Such is God; He does what He wills.”"— Sahih Intl

"He said, “My Lord, make for me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to the people for three days except by gesture. And remember your Lord much and exalt [Him with praise] in the evening and the morning.”"— Sahih Intl

"And [mention] when the angels said, “O Mary, indeed God has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds."— Sahih Intl

"O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer].”"— Sahih Intl

"That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muham- mad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed."— Sahih Intl

"[And mention] when the angels said, “O Mary, indeed God gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary -- distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to God]."— Sahih Intl

"He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous.”"— Sahih Intl

"She said, “My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?” [The angel] said, “Such is God; He creates what He wills. When He de- crees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is."— Sahih Intl

"And He will teach him writing and wis- dom and the Torah and the Gospel"— Sahih Intl

"And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], ‘In- deed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of God. And I cure the blind [from birth] and the leper, and I give life to the dead -- by permission of God. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."— Sahih Intl

"And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path.’ ”"— Sahih Intl

"But when Jesus felt [persistence in] dis- belief from them, he said, “Who are my supporters for [the cause of] God?” The disciples said, “We are supporters for God. We have believed in God and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."— Sahih Intl

"Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and have followed the"— Sahih Intl

"And they [i.e., the disbelievers] planned, but God planned. And God is the best of planners."— Sahih Intl

"[Mention] when God said, “O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify [i.e., free] you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to God alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge be- tween you concerning that in which you used to differ."— Sahih Intl

"And as for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.”"— Sahih Intl

"But as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards, and God does not like the wrongdoers."— Sahih Intl

"This is what We recite to you, [O Mu- hammad], of [Our] verses and the pre- cise [and wise] message [i.e., the Qur’ān]."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, the example of Jesus to God is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, “Be,” and he was."— Sahih Intl

"The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among the doubters."— Sahih Intl

"Then whoever argues with you about it after [this] knowledge has come to you -- say, “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your wom-"— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, this is the true narration. And there is no deity except God. And in- deed, God is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."— Sahih Intl

"But if they turn away, then indeed -- God is Knowing of the corrupters."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you -- that we will not worship ex- cept God and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of God.”109 But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].”"— Sahih Intl

"O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason?"— Sahih Intl

"Here you are -- those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no know- ledge? And God knows, while you know not."— Sahih Intl

"Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Chris- tian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to God]. And he was not of the polytheists."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who fol- lowed him [in submission to God] and this prophet [i.e., Muhammad] and"— Sahih Intl

"A faction of the people of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they perceive [it] not."— Sahih Intl

"O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of God while you witness [to their truth]?"— Sahih Intl

"O People of the Scripture, why do you mix [i.e., confuse] the truth with false- hood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?"— Sahih Intl

"And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], “Believe in that which was revealed to the be- lievers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will return [i.e., abandon their religion],"— Sahih Intl

"And do not trust except those who fol- low your religion.” Say, “Indeed, the [true] guidance is the guidance of God. [Do you fear] lest someone be given [knowledge] like you were given or that they would [thereby] argue with you be- fore your Lord?” Say, “Indeed, [all] bounty is in the hand of God -- He grants it to whom He wills. And God is all-Encompassing and Wise.”"— Sahih Intl

"He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And God is the possessor of great bounty."— Sahih Intl

"And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] silver"— Sahih Intl

"But yes, whoever fulfills his commit- ment and fears God -- then indeed, God loves those who fear Him."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those who exchange the cove- nant of God and their [own] oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punish- ment."— Sahih Intl

"And indeed, there is among them a par- ty who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scrip- ture. And they say, “This is from God,” but it is not from God. And they speak untruth about God while they know."— Sahih Intl

"It is not for a human [prophet] that God should give him the Scripture and authority and prophethood and then he would say to the people, “Be servants to me rather than God,” but [instead, he would say], “Be pious scho- lars of the Lord because of what you have taught of the Scripture and be- cause of what you have studied.”"— Sahih Intl

"Nor could he order you to take the an- gels and prophets as lords. Would he"— Sahih Intl

"And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when God took the covenant of the prophets, [saying], “Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him.” [God] said, “Have you acknowledged and tak- en upon that My commitment?”116 They said, “We have acknowledged it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”"— Sahih Intl

"And whoever turned away after that -- they were the defiantly disobedient."— Sahih Intl

"So is it other than the religion of God they desire, while to Him have submit- ted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned?"— Sahih Intl

"Say, “We have believed in God and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants [al-Asbāt], and in what was given to Moses and Je- sus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [sub- mitting] to Him.”"— Sahih Intl

"And whoever desires other than Islām as religion -- never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers."— Sahih Intl

"How shall God guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And"— Sahih Intl

"Those -- their recompense will be that upon them is the curse of God and the angels and the people, all together,"— Sahih Intl

"Abiding eternally therein. The punish- ment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved,"— Sahih Intl

"Except for those who repent after that and correct themselves. For in- deed, God is Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those who disbelieve [i.e., reject the message] after their belief and then increase in disbelief -- never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers -- never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful pu- nishment, and they will have no hel- pers."— Sahih Intl

"Never will you attain the good [re- ward] until you spend [in the way of God] from that which you love. And whatever you spend -- indeed, God is Knowing of it."— Sahih Intl

"All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel [i.e., Jacob] had made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, [O Mu- hammad], “So bring the Torah and re- cite it, if you should be truthful.”"— Sahih Intl

"And whoever invents about God un- truth after that -- then those are [truly] the wrongdoers."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “God has told the truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, inclining to- ward truth; and he was not of the po- lytheists.”119"— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Bakkah [i.e., Makkah] -- blessed and a guidance for the worlds."— Sahih Intl

"In it are clear signs [such as] the stand- ing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it [i.e., the Haram] shall be safe. And [due] to God from the people is a pilgrimage to the House -- for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves [i.e., refuses] -- then indeed, God is free from need of the worlds."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of God while God is Witness over what you do?”"— Sahih Intl

"Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you avert from the way of God those who believe, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And God is not unaware of what you do.”"— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, af- ter your belief, [to being] unbelievers."— Sahih Intl

"And how could you disbelieve while to you are being recited the verses of God and among you is His Messenger? And"— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, fear God as He should be feared and do not die ex- cept as Muslims [in submission to Him]."— Sahih Intl

"And hold firmly to the rope of God all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of God upon you -- when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does God make clear to you His verses that you may be guided."— Sahih Intl

"And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, en- joining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful."— Sahih Intl

"And do not be like the ones who be- came divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment"— Sahih Intl

"On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], “Did you disbelieve [i.e., reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject.”"— Sahih Intl

"But as for those whose faces will turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of God. They will abide therein eternally."— Sahih Intl

"These are the verses of God. We recite them to you, [O Muhammad], in truth; and God wants no injustice to the worlds [i.e., His creatures]."— Sahih Intl

"To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to God will [all] matters be re- turned."— Sahih Intl

"You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in God. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient."— Sahih Intl

"They will not harm you except for [some] annoyance. And if they fight you, they will show you their backs [i.e., retreat]; then they will not be aided."— Sahih Intl

"They have been put under humiliation [by God] wherever they are overtaken, except for a rope [i.e., covenant] from God and a rope [i.e., treaty] from the people [i.e., the Muslims]. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from God and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbe- lieved in [i.e., rejected] the verses of God and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed."— Sahih Intl

"They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a communi- ty standing [in obedience], reciting"— Sahih Intl

"They believe in God and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righ- teous."— Sahih Intl

"And whatever good they do -- never will it be removed from them. And God is Knowing of the righteous."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those who disbelieve -- never will their wealth or their children avail them against God at all, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally."— Sahih Intl

"The example of what they spend in this worldly life is like that of a wind con- taining frost which strikes the harvest of a people who have wronged them- selves [i.e., sinned] and destroys it. And God has not wronged them, but they wrong themselves."— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than your- selves, [i.e., believers], for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has al- ready appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason."— Sahih Intl

"Here you are loving them but they are not loving you, while you believe in the Scripture -- all of it. And when they meet you, they say, “We believe.” But when they are alone, they bite their fin- gertips at you in rage. Say, “Die in your"— Sahih Intl

"If good touches you, it distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it. And if you are patient and fear God, their plot will not harm you at all. In- deed, God is encompassing of what they do."— Sahih Intl

"And [remember] when you, [O Mu- hammad], left your family in the morn- ing to post the believers at their stations for the battle [of Uhud] -- and God is Hearing and Knowing --"— Sahih Intl

"When two parties among you were about to lose courage, but God was their ally; and upon God the believers should rely."— Sahih Intl

"And already had God given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were weak [i.e., few in number]. Then fear God; perhaps you will be grateful."— Sahih Intl

"[Remember] when you said to the be- lievers, “Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down?"— Sahih Intl

"Yes, if you remain patient and con- scious of God and they [i.e., the enemy] come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thou- sand angels having marks [of distinc- tion].”"— Sahih Intl

"And God made it not except as [a sign of] good tidings for you and to reassure your hearts thereby. And victory is not except from God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise --"— Sahih Intl

"That He might cut down a section of the disbelievers or suppress them so that they turn back disappointed."— Sahih Intl

"Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for God], is the decision whether He should [cut them down] or forgive them or punish them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers."— Sahih Intl

"And to God belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He forgives whom He wills and pu- nishes whom He wills. And God is Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, do not con- sume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear God that you may be success- ful."— Sahih Intl

"And fear the Fire, which has been pre- pared for the disbelievers."— Sahih Intl

"And obey God and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy."— Sahih Intl

"And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden [i.e., Paradise] as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous"— Sahih Intl

"Who spend [in the cause of God] dur- ing ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people -- and God loves the doers of good;"— Sahih Intl

"And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember God and seek forgiveness for their sins -- and who can forgive sins except God? -- and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know."— Sahih Intl

"Those -- their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow [in Paradise], wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers."— Sahih Intl

"Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied."— Sahih Intl

"This [Qur’ān] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and in- struction for those conscious of God."— Sahih Intl

"So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers."— Sahih Intl

"If a wound should touch you -- there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alter- nate among the people so that God may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs -- and God does not like the wrongdoers --"— Sahih Intl

"And that God may purify the believers [through trials] and destroy the disbe- lievers."— Sahih Intl

"Or do you think that you will enter Pa- radise while God has not yet made evi- dent those of you who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast?"— Sahih Intl

"And you had certainly wished for death [i.e., martyrdom] before you encoun- tered it, and you have [now] seen it [be- fore you] while you were looking on."— Sahih Intl

"Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on be- fore him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm God at all; but God will reward the grateful."— Sahih Intl

"And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of God at a de- cree determined. And whoever desires the reward of this world -- We will give him thereof; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter -- We will give him thereof. And we will reward the grateful."— Sahih Intl

"And how many a prophet [fought and] with him fought many religious scho- lars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of God, nor did they weaken or submit. And God loves the steadfast."— Sahih Intl

"And their words were not but that they said, “Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess [committed] in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people.”"— Sahih Intl

"So God gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the He- reafter. And God loves the doers of good."— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will [then] become losers."— Sahih Intl

"But God is your protector, and He is the best of helpers."— Sahih Intl

"We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with God of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrong- doers."— Sahih Intl

"And God had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them [i.e., the enemy] by His permis- sion until [the time] when you lost cou- rage and fell to disputing about the or- der [given by the Prophet] and dis- obeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then he turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and God is the possessor of bounty for the be- lievers."— Sahih Intl

"[Remember] when you [fled and] climbed [the mountain] without looking aside at anyone while the Messenger was calling you from behind. So God repaid you with distress upon distress so you would not grieve for that which had escaped you [of victory and spoils of war] or [for] that which had befallen you [of injury and death]. And God is [fully] Acquainted with what you do."— Sahih Intl

"Then after distress, He sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsi- ness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of God other than the truth -- the thought of ignorance, saying, “Is there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?” Say, “In- deed, the matter belongs completely to God.” They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, “If there was anything we could have done in the matter, we [i.e., some of us] would not have been killed right here.” Say, “Even if you had been in- side your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds.” [It was] so that God might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And God is Knowing of that within the breasts."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met [at Uhud] - it was Satan who caused them to slip because of some [blame] they had earned. But God has already forgi- ven them. Indeed, God is Forgiving and Forbearing."— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, “If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed,” so God makes that [misconception] a re- gret within their hearts. And it is God who gives life and causes death, and God is Seeing of what you do."— Sahih Intl

"And if you are killed in the cause of God or die -- then forgiveness from God and mercy are better than whatev- er they accumulate [in this world]."— Sahih Intl

"And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, “Come, fight in the way of God or [at least] defend.” They said, “If we had known [there would be] fighting, we would have followed you.” They were nearer to disbelief that day than to"— Sahih Intl
