"Alif, Lām, Meem, Sād."— Sahih Intl

"[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a remind- er to the believers."— Sahih Intl

"Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember."— Sahih Intl

"And how many cities have We de- stroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleep- ing at noon."— Sahih Intl

"And their declaration when Our pu- nishment came to them was only that they said, “Indeed, we were wrong- doers!”"— Sahih Intl

"Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers."— Sahih Intl

"Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent."— Sahih Intl

"And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful."— Sahih Intl

"And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves"— Sahih Intl

"And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you there- in ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful."— Sahih Intl

"And We have certainly created you, [O mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated."— Sahih Intl

"[God] said, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” [Satan] said, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay [i.e., earth].”"— Sahih Intl

"[God] said, “Descend from it [i.e., Pa- radise], for it is not for you to be arro- gant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased.”"— Sahih Intl

"[Satan] said, “Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”"— Sahih Intl

"[God] said, “Indeed, you are of those reprieved.”"— Sahih Intl

"[Satan] said, “Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them [i.e., mankind] on Your straight path."— Sahih Intl

"Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You].”"— Sahih Intl

"[God] said, “Get out of it [i.e., Para- dise], reproached and expelled. Whoev-"— Sahih Intl

"And “O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.”"— Sahih Intl

"But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was con- cealed from them of their private parts. He said, “Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal.”"— Sahih Intl

"And he swore [by God] to them, “In- deed, I am to you from among the sin- cere advisors.”"— Sahih Intl

"So he made them fall, through decep- tion. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Pa- radise. And their Lord called to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?”"— Sahih Intl

"They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”"— Sahih Intl

"[God] said, “Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and en- joyment [i.e., provision] for a time.”"— Sahih Intl

"He said, “Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.”"— Sahih Intl

"O children of Adam, We have bes- towed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of God that perhaps they will remember."— Sahih Intl

"O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe."— Sahih Intl

"And when they commit an immorality, they say, “We found our fathers doing it, and God has ordered us to do it.” Say, “Indeed, God does not order im- morality. Do you say about God that which you do not know?”"— Sahih Intl

"Say, [O Muhammad], “My Lord has ordered justice and that you maintain yourselves [in worship of Him] at every place [or time] of prostration, and in- voke Him, sincere to Him in religion.” Just as He originated you, you will re- turn [to life] -"— Sahih Intl

"A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they [i.e., the latter] had taken the devils as allies instead of God while they thought that they were guided."— Sahih Intl

"O children of Adam, take your adorn- ment [i.e., wear your clothing] at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Who has forbidden the adorn- ment of [i.e., from] God which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?” Say,"— Sahih Intl

"Say, “My Lord has only forbidden im- moralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with God that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about God that which you do not know.”"— Sahih Intl

"And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]."— Sahih Intl

"O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relat- ing to you My verses [i.e., scriptures and laws], then whoever fears God and reforms - there will be no fear concern- ing them, nor will they grieve."— Sahih Intl

"But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally."— Sahih Intl

"And who is more unjust than one who invents about God a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until, when Our mes- sengers [i.e., angels] come to them to take them in death, they will say, “Where are those you used to invoke besides God?” They will say, “They have departed from us,” and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers."— Sahih Intl

"[God] will say, “Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire.” Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them, “Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire.” He will say, “For each is double, but you do not know.”"— Sahih Intl

"And the first of them will say to the last of them, “Then you had not any favor over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn.”"— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a ca- mel enters into the eye of a needle [i.e., never]. And thus do We recompense the criminals."— Sahih Intl

"They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers."— Sahih Intl

"But those who believed and did righ- teous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally."— Sahih Intl

"And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment, [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, “Praise to God, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if God had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of"— Sahih Intl

"And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, “We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?” They will say, “Yes.” Then an announcer will announce among them, “The curse of God shall be upon the wrongdoers"— Sahih Intl

"Who averted [people] from the way of God and sought to make it [seem] de- viant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers.”"— Sahih Intl

"And between them will be a partition [i.e., wall], and on [its] elevations are men who recognize all by their mark. And they call out to the compa- nions of Paradise, “Peace be upon you.” They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely."— Sahih Intl

"And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, “Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people.”"— Sahih Intl

"And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, “Of no avail to you was your gather- ing and [the fact] that you were arro- gant.”"— Sahih Intl

"[God will say], “Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that God would never offer them mer- cy? Enter Paradise, [O People of the Elevations]. No fear will there be con- cerning you, nor will you grieve.”"— Sahih Intl

"And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of Paradise, “Pour upon us some water or from whatever God has provided you.” They will say, “Indeed, God has forbidden them both to the disbelievers"— Sahih Intl

"Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded.” So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having re- jected Our verses."— Sahih Intl

"And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe."— Sahih Intl

"Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ig- nored it before will say, “The messen- gers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any interces- sors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than what we used to do?” They will have lost them- selves, and lost from them is what they used to invent."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, your Lord is God, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the"— Sahih Intl

"Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors."— Sahih Intl

"And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of God is near to the doers of good."— Sahih Intl

"And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall] until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded."— Sahih Intl

"And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges ex- cept sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful."— Sahih Intl

"We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, “O my people, worship God; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.”"— Sahih Intl

"Said the eminent among his people, “Indeed, we see you in clear error.”"— Sahih Intl

"[Noah] said, “O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."— Sahih Intl

"I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from God what you do not know."— Sahih Intl

"Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear God so you might receive mercy?”"— Sahih Intl

"But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who de- nied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people."— Sahih Intl

"And to the ‘Aad [We sent] their brother Hūd. He said, “O my people, worship God; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?”"— Sahih Intl

"Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, “Indeed, we see you in foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars.”"— Sahih Intl

"[Hūd] said, “O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messen- ger from the Lord of the worlds."— Sahih Intl

"I convey to you the messages of my Lord, and I am to you a trustworthy adviser."— Sahih Intl

"Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in"— Sahih Intl

"They said, “Have you come to us that we should worship God alone and leave what our fathers have wor- shipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful.”"— Sahih Intl

"[Hūd] said, “Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concern- ing [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which God has not sent down any au- thority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait.”"— Sahih Intl

"So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not [at all] believers."— Sahih Intl

"And to the Thamūd [We sent] their brother Sālih. He said, “O my people, worship God; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of God [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within God's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punish- ment."— Sahih Intl

"And remember when He made you successors after the ‘Aad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of God and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.”"— Sahih Intl

"Said the eminent ones who were arro- gant among his people to those who were oppressed - to those who believed among them, “Do you [actually] know that Sālih is sent from his Lord?" They said, “Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are believers.”"— Sahih Intl

"Said those who were arrogant, “Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers.”"— Sahih Intl

"So they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, “O Sālih, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers.”"— Sahih Intl

"So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone."— Sahih Intl

"And he [i.e., Sālih] turned away from them and said, “O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors.”"— Sahih Intl

"And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, “Do you commit such im- morality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? [i.e., peoples]?"— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.”"— Sahih Intl

"But the answer of his people was only that they said, “Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure.”"— Sahih Intl

"So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who re- mained [with the evildoers]."— Sahih Intl

"And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals."— Sahih Intl

"And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu’ayb. He said, “O my people, worship God; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. So fulfill the measure and weight and do not deprive people of their due and cause not corruption upon the earth af- ter its reformation. That is better for you, if you should be believers."— Sahih Intl

"And do not sit on every path, threaten- ing and averting from the way of God those who believe in Him, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased you. And see how was the end of the corrupters."— Sahih Intl

"And if there should be a group among you who has believed in that with which I have been sent and a group that has not believed, then be patient until God judges between us. And He is the best of judges.”"— Sahih Intl

"Said the eminent ones who were arro- gant among his people, “We will surely evict you, O Shu’ayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion.” He said, “Even if we were unwilling?"— Sahih Intl

"We would have invented against God a lie if we returned to your religion after God had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that God, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon God we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision.”"— Sahih Intl

"Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, “If you should fol- low Shu’ayb, indeed, you would then be losers.”"— Sahih Intl

"So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone."— Sahih Intl

"Those who denied Shu’ayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shu’ayb - it was they who were the losers."— Sahih Intl

"And he [i.e., Shu’ayb] turned away from them and said, “O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?”"— Sahih Intl

"And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to God]."— Sahih Intl

"Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, “Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease.”347 So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive."— Sahih Intl

"And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared God, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning."— Sahih Intl

"Then did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?"— Sahih Intl

"Or did the people of the cities feel se- cure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?"— Sahih Intl

"Then, did they feel secure from the plan of God? But no one feels secure from the plan of God except the losing people."— Sahih Intl

"Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could af- flict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear."— Sahih Intl

"Those cities - We relate to you, [O Mu- hammad], some of their news. And cer- tainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does God seal over the hearts of the disbelievers."— Sahih Intl

"And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient."— Sahih Intl

"Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his estab- lishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters."— Sahih Intl

"And Moses said, “O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds"— Sahih Intl

"[Who is] obligated not to say about God except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel.”355"— Sahih Intl

"[Pharaoh] said, “If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful.”"— Sahih Intl

"So he [i.e., Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest."— Sahih Intl

"And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the ob- servers."— Sahih Intl

"Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, “Indeed, this is a learned ma- gician"— Sahih Intl

"Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?”"— Sahih Intl

"They said, “Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers"— Sahih Intl

"Who will bring you every learned magi- cian.”"— Sahih Intl

"And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, “Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant.”"— Sahih Intl

"He said, “Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me].”"— Sahih Intl

"They said, “O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first].”"— Sahih Intl

"He said, “Throw,” and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic."— Sahih Intl

"And We inspired to Moses, “Throw your staff,” and at once it devoured what they were falsifying."— Sahih Intl

"So the truth was established, and ab- olished was what they were doing."— Sahih Intl

"And they [i.e., Pharaoh and his people] were overcome right there and became debased."— Sahih Intl

"And the magicians fell down in prostra- tion [to God]."— Sahih Intl

"They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,"— Sahih Intl

"The Lord of Moses and Aaron.”"— Sahih Intl

"Said Pharaoh, “You believed in him before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you con- spired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know."— Sahih Intl

"I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all.”"— Sahih Intl

"They said, “Indeed, to our Lord we will return."— Sahih Intl

"And you do not resent us except be- cause we believed in the signs of our"— Sahih Intl

"And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said, “Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?” [Pharaoh] said, “We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them.”"— Sahih Intl

"Said Moses to his people, “Seek help through God and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to God. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His ser- vants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.”"— Sahih Intl

"They said, “We have been harmed be- fore you came to us and after you have come to us.” He said, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do.”"— Sahih Intl

"And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded."— Sahih Intl

"But when good [i.e., provision] came to them, they said, “This is ours [by right].” And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with God, but most of them do not know."— Sahih Intl

"And they said, “No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you.”"— Sahih Intl

"So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people."— Sahih Intl

"And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, “O Moses, in- voke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely be- lieve you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel.”"— Sahih Intl

"But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word."— Sahih Intl

"So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heed- less of them."— Sahih Intl

"And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word [i.e., decree] of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently en- dured. And We destroyed [all] that Pha- raoh and his people were producing and what they had been building."— Sahih Intl

"And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They [the Children of Israel] said, “O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods.” He said, “Indeed, you are a people behaving ig- norantly."— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those [worshippers] - destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing.”"— Sahih Intl

"He said, “Is it other than God I should desire for you as a god while He has preferred you over the worlds?”"— Sahih Intl

"And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pha- raoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord."— Sahih Intl

"And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as for- ty nights. And Moses said to his broth- er Aaron, “Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters.”"— Sahih Intl

"And when Moses arrived at Our ap- pointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.” [God] said, “You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should re- main in place, then you will see Me.” But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, “Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers.”"— Sahih Intl

"[God] said, “O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful.”"— Sahih Intl

"And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], “Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the de- fiantly disobedient.”367"— Sahih Intl

"I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth with- out right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them."— Sahih Intl

"Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they re- compensed except for what they used to do?"— Sahih Intl

"And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers."— Sahih Intl

"And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, “If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers.”"— Sahih Intl

"And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said,"— Sahih Intl

"[Moses] said, “My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful.”"— Sahih Intl

"Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood]."— Sahih Intl

"But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and be- lieved - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl

"And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their in- scription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord."— Sahih Intl

"And Moses chose from his people se- venty men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, “My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You"— Sahih Intl

"And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereaf- ter; indeed, we have turned back to You.” [God] said, “My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mer- cy encompasses all things.” So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakāh and those who be- lieve in Our verses -"— Sahih Intl

"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written [i.e., mentioned] in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, ho- noured him, supported him and fol- lowed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful."— Sahih Intl

"Say, [O Muhammad], “O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of God to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death.” So believe in God and His Messenger, the unlet- tered prophet, who believes in God and"— Sahih Intl

"And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice."— Sahih Intl

"And We divided them into twelve des- cendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, “Strike with your staff the stone,” and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people [i.e., tribe] knew its water- ing place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them man- na and quails, [saying], “Eat from the good things with which We have pro- vided you.” And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging them- selves."— Sahih Intl

"And [mention, O Muhammad], when it was said to them, “Dwell in this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherev- er you will and say, ‘Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins],’ and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and re- ward].”"— Sahih Intl

"But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a pu- nishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing."— Sahih Intl

"And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sab-"— Sahih Intl

"And when a community among them said, “Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom God is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punish- ment?” they [the advisors] said, “To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him.”"— Sahih Intl

"And when they [i.e., those advised] for- got that by which they had been re- minded, We saved those who had for- bidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying."— Sahih Intl

"So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, “Be apes, despised.”"— Sahih Intl

"And [mention] when your Lord de- clared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but in- deed, He is Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl

"And We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were oth- erwise. And We tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience]."— Sahih Intl
