COMPANION
But those who disbelieve and deny Our Signs are the Companions of the
Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (2:39)
No indeed! Those who accumulate bad actions and are surrounded by their
mistakes, such people are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it
timelessly, for ever; whereas those who believe and do right actions,
such people are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever. (2:81-82)
They will ask you about the Sacred Month and fighting in it. Say, 'Fighting
in it is a serious matter; but barring access to the Way of Allah and
rejecting Him and barring access to the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram)
and expelling its people from it are far more serious in the sight of
Allah. Discord is worse than killing.' They will not stop fighting you
until they make you revert from your religion, if they are able. As for
any of you who revert from their religion and die disbeliever, their actions
will come to nothing in this world and the hereafter. They are the Companions
of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (2:217)
Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out of the
darkness into the light. But those who disbelieve have false gods as protectors.
They take them from the light into the darkness. Those are the Companions
of the Fire remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (2:257)
Those who practise usury will not rise from the grave except as someone
driven mad by Satan's touch. That is because they say, 'Trade is the same
as usury.' But Allah has permitted trade and He has forbidden usury. Whoever
is given a warning by his Lord and then desists, can keep what he received
in the past and his affair is Allah's concern. But all who return to it
will be the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
(2:275)
As for those who disbelieve, their wealth and children will not help
them against Allah in any way. They are the Companions of the Fire, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever. (3:116)
Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Be good to your
parents and relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to neighbours
who are related to you and neighbours who are not related to you, and
to companions and travellers and your slaves. Allah does not love anyone
vain or boastful. (4:36)
You who have been given the Book! Believe in what We have sent down confirming
what is with you, before We obliterate faces, turning them inside out,
or We curse you as We cursed the Companions of the Sabbath. Allah's command
is always carried out. (4:47)
But those who disbelieve and deny Our Signs, are the Companions of the
Blazing Fire. (5:10)
(One of Adam's two sons said to the other,) 'I want you to take on both
my wrongdoing and your wrongdoing and so become one of the Companions
of the Fire. That is the repayment of the wrongdoers.' (5:29)
As for those who disbelieve and deny Our Signs, they are the Companions
of the Blazing Fire. (5:86)
Say: 'Are we to call on something besides Allah which can neither help
nor harm us, and to turn on our heels after Allah has guided us, like
someone the Satans have lured away in the earth, leaving him confused
and stupefied, despite the fact that he has companions calling him to
guidance, saying, "Come with us!"?' Say: 'Allah's guidance, that is true
guidance. We are commanded to submit as Muslims to the Lord of all the
worlds.' (6:71)
But as for those who reject Our Signs and are arrogant regarding them,
they are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
(7:36)
As for those who believe and do right actions-We impose on no self any
more than it can bear-they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever. (7:42)
The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire,
'We have found that what our Lord promised us is true. Have you found
that what your Lord promised you is true?' They will say, 'Yes, we have!'
Between them a herald will proclaim: 'May the curse of Allah be on the
wrongdoers.' (7:44)
When they turn their eyes towards the Companions of the Fire, they will
say, 'Our Lord, do not place us with the people of the wrongdoers!' (7:47)
The Companions of the Ramparts will call out to men they recognise by
their mark, saying, 'What you amassed was of no use to you, nor was your
arrogance.' (7:48)
The Companions of the Fire will call out to the Companions of the Garden,
'Throw down some water to us or some of what Allah has given you as provision.'
They will say, 'Allah has forbidden them to the disbelievers. (7:50)
Have they not reflected? Their companion is not mad. He is only a clear
warner. (7:184)
If you do not help him, Allah did help him when those who disbelieved
drove him out and there were two of them in the Cave. He said to his companion,
'Do not be despondent, Allah is with us.' Then Allah sent down His serenity
upon him and reinforced him with troops you could not see. He made the
word of those who disbelieved undermost. It is the word of Allah which
is uppermost. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (9:40)
It is not right for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness
for the idolaters-even if they are close relatives-after it has become
clear to them that they are the Companions of the Blazing Fire. (9:113)
Those who do good will have the best and more! Neither dust nor debasement
will darken their faces. They are the Companions of the Garden, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever. (10:26)
But as for those who have earned bad actions-a bad action will be repaid
with one the like of it. Debasement will darken them. They will have no
one to protect them from Allah. It is as if their faces were covered by
dark patches of the night. Those are the Companions of the Fire, remaining
in it timelessly, for ever. (10:27)
As for those who believe and do right actions and humble themselves before
their Lord, they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever. (11:23)
(Yusuf said,) 'My companions of the prison, are many lords better, or
Allah, the only One, the Conqueror?' (12:39)
(Yusuf said,) 'My companions of the prison, one of you will serve his
lord with wine, the other of you will be crucified and birds will eat
his head. The thing you asked about is foreordained.' (12:41)
If you are surprised at their blindness, what could be more surprising
than their words: 'What, when we are turned to dust, shall we then be
created all anew?' These are the people who reject their Lord. Such people
have iron collars round their necks. Such people are the Companions of
the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (13:5)
Do you consider that the Companions of the Cave and Ar-Raqim were one
of the most remarkable of Our Signs? (18:9)
He was a man of wealth and property and he said to his companion, debating
with him, 'I have more wealth than you and more people under me.' (18:34)
His companion, with whom he was debating, said to him, 'Do you then disbelieve
in Him Who created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm, and then
formed you as a man?' (18:37)
Musa said, 'If I ask you about anything after this, then you should no
longer keep me company. I will have given you excuse enough.' (18:76)
Say: 'Everyone is waiting expectantly so wait expectantly. You will soon
know who are the Companions of the Right Path and who is is guided.' (20:135)
And the companions of Madyan (denied); and Musa was denied as well. I
allowed time to the disbelievers but then I seized them. How terrible
was My denial! (22:44)
But as for those who strive against My Signs and try to thwart them,
they will be the Companions of the Blazing Fire. (22:51)
The Companions of the Garden on that Day will have better lodging and
a better resting-place. (25:24)
The same goes for 'Ad and Thamud and the Companions of the Rass and many
generations in between. (25:38)
And when the two hosts came into sight of one another Musa's companions
said, 'We will surely be overtaken!' (26:61)
The Companions of the Thicket denied the Messengers. (26:176)
Say: 'I exhort you to do one thing alone: to stand before Allah in pairs
and on your own and then reflect. Your companion is not possessed. He
is only a warner come to you ahead of a terrible punishment.' (34:46)
The Companions of the Garden are busy enjoying themselves today. (36:55)
And Thamud and the people of Lut and the Companions of the Thicket. Those
too were Confederates. (38:13)
When harm touches man he calls upon his Lord, repenting to Him. Then
when He grants him a blessing from Him, he forgets what he was calling
for before and ascribes rivals to Allah, so as to misguide others from
His Way. Say: 'Enjoy your disbelief for a little while. You are among
the Companions of the Fire.' (39:8)
So your Lord's Words about those who disbelieve proved true, that they
are indeed the Companions of the Fire. (40:6)
There is no question that what you call me to has no foundation either
in this world or the hereafter, that our return is to Allah, and that
the profligate will be Companions of the Fire. (40:43)
If someone shuts his eyes to the remembrance of the All-Merciful, We
assign him a Satan who becomes his bosom friend-they debar them from the
path, yet they still think they are guided-so that, when he reaches Us,
he says, 'If only there was the distance of the two Easts between you
and me!' What an evil companion! (43:36-38)
Such people are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever, as repayment for what they did. (46:14)
Those are people whose best deeds will be accepted and whose wrong deeds
will be overlooked. They are among the Companions of the Garden, in fulfilment
of the true promise made to them. (46:16)
Before them the people of Nuh also denied the truth and the Companions
of Rass and Thamud. (50:12)
And the Companions of the Thicket and the people of Tubba'. Each one
denied the Messengers and My promise proved true. (50:14)
Your companion is not misguided or misled. (53:2)
They called on their companion and he set to it and hamstrung her (the
she-camel). (54:29)
The Companions of the Right: how happy are the Companions of the Right?
(56:8)
The Companions of the Left: how wretched are the Companions of the Left?
(56:9)
And the Companions of the Right: how happy are the Companions of the
Right? (56:27)
We have brought maidens into being and made them purest virgins, devoted,
passionate, of like age, for the Companions of the Right. (56:35-38)
And the Companions of the Left: how wretched are the Companions of the
Left? (56:41)
And if he is one of the Companions of the Right, 'Peace be upon you!'
from the Companions of the Right. (56:90-91)
Those who believe in Allah and His Messengers-such people are the truly
sincere-and the martyrs who are with their Lord will receive their wages
and their light. But those who disbelieve and deny Our Signs, will be
Companions of the Blazing Fire. (57:19)
Neither their wealth nor their children will help them at all against
Allah. Such people are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever. (58:17)
The Companions of the Fire and the Companions of the Garden are not the
same. It is the Companions of the Garden who are the victors. (59:20)
But as for those who disbelieve and deny Our Signs they are the Companions
of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. What an evil destination!
(64:10)
They will say, 'If only we had really listened and used our intellect,
we would not have been Companions of the Blaze.' (67:10)
Then they will acknowledge their wrong actions. Away with the Companions
of the Blaze! (67:11)
So wait steadfastly for the judgement of your Lord. Do not be like the
Companion of the Fish when he called out in absolute despair. (68:48)
Except for the companions of the Right. (74:39)
Your companion is not mad. (81:22)
Cursed be the Companions of the Pit. (85:4)
Those are the Companions of the Right. (90:18)
Those who reject Our signs, they are the Companions of the Left. (90:19)
Do you not see what your Lord did with the Companions of the Elephant?
(105:1)
COMPANIONS OF THE
CAVE (ASHAB AL-KAHF)
Do you consider that the Companions of the Cave and Ar-Raqim were one
of the most remarkable of Our Signs? When the young men took refuge in
the cave and said, 'Our Lord, give us mercy directly from You and open
the way for us to right guidance in our situation.' So We sealed their
ears with sleep in the cave for a number of years. Then We woke them up
again so that we might see which of the two groups would better calculate
the time they had stayed there. We will relate their story to you with
truth. They were young men who believed in their Lord and We increased
them in guidance. We fortified their hearts when they stood up and said,
'Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and We will not call
on any god apart from Him. We would in that case have uttered an abomination.
These people of ours have taken gods apart from Him. Why do they not produce
a clear authority concerning them? Who could do greater wrong than someone
who invents a lie against Allah? When you have separated yourselves from
them and everything they worship except Allah, take refuge in the cave
and your Lord will unfold His mercy to you and open the way to the best
for you in your situation.' You would have seen the sun, when it rose,
inclining away from their cave towards the right, and, when it set, leaving
them behind on the left, while they were lying in an open part of it.
That was one of Allah's Signs. Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. But
if He misguides someone, you will find no protector for them to guide
them rightly. You would have supposed them to be awake whereas in fact
they were asleep. We moved them to the right and to the left, and, at
the entrance, their dog stretched out its paws. If you had looked down
and seen them, you would have turned from them and run and have been filled
with terror at the sight of them. That was the situation when we woke
them up so they could question one another. One of them asked, 'How long
have you been here?' They replied, 'We have been here for a day or part
of a day.' They said, 'Your Lord knows best how long you have been here.
Send one of your number into the city with this silver you have, so he
can see which food is purest and bring you some of it to eat. But he should
go about with caution so that no one is aware of you, for if they find
out about you they will stone you or make you revert to their religion
and then you will never have success.' Accordingly We made them chance
upon them unexpectedly so they might know that Allah's promise is true
and that there is no doubt about the Hour. When they were arguing among
themselves about the matter, they said, 'Wall up their cave, their Lord
knows best about them.' But those who got the better of the argument concerning
them said, 'We will build a place of worship over them.' They will say,
'There were three of them, their dog being the fourth.' They will say,
'There were five of them, their dog being the sixth,' guessing at the
Unseen. And they will say, 'There were seven of them, their dog being
the eighth.' Say: 'My Lord knows best their number. Those who know about
them are very few.' So do not enter into any argument concerning them,
except in relation to what is clearly known. And do not seek the opinion
of any of them regarding them. Never say about anything, 'I am doing that
tomorrow,' without adding 'If Allah wills.' Remember your Lord when you
forget, and say, 'Hopefully my Lord will guide me to something closer
to right guidance than this.' They stayed in their Cave for three hundred
years and added nine. Say: 'Allah knows best how long they stayed. The
Unseen of the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. How perfectly He sees,
how well He hears! They have no protector apart from Him. Nor does He
share His rule with anyone.' (18:9-26)
COMPANIONS OF THE
ELEPHANT (ASHAB AL-FIL)
Do you not see what your Lord did with the Companions of the Elephant?
Did He not bring all their schemes to nothing, unleashing upon them flock
after flock of birds? (105:1-3)
COMPANIONS OF THE
LEFT (ASHAB AL-MASH'AMA)
The Companions of the Left: how wretched are the Companions of the Left?
(56:9)
COMPANIONS OF THE PIT
(ASHAB AL-'UKHDUD)
Cursed be the Companions of the Pit-the fire well stocked with fuel-when
they were seated right beside it witnessing what they did to the believers.
The only reason they punished them was because they believed in Allah,
the Almighty, the All-Praiseworthy. (85:4-8)
COMPANIONS OF THE
RASS
The same goes for 'Ad and Thamud and the Companions of the Rass and many
generations in between. (25:38)
Before them the people of Nuh also denied the truth and the Companions
of the Rass and Thamud, (50:12)
COMPANIONS OF THE
RIGHT (ASHAB AL-MAIMANA) (ASHAB AL-YEMEEN)
The Companions of the Right: how happy are the Companions of the Right?
(56:8)
And the Companions of the Right: how happy are the Companions of the
Right? (56:27)
We have brought maidens into being and made them purest virgins, devoted,
passionate, of like age, for the Companions of the Right. (56:35-38)
COMPANIONS OF THE
THICKET (ASHAB AL-AYKA)
The people of the Thicket were also wrongdoers. (15:78)
The Companions of the Thicket denied the Messengers, (26:176)
And Thamud and the people of Lut and the Companions of the Thicket. Those
too were Confederates. (38:13)
And the Companions of the Thicket and the people of Tubba'. Each one
denied the Messengers and My promise proved true. (50:14)
COMPASSION
Or (do those who plot evil actions feel secure) that He will not seize
them little by little? For your Lord is All-Compassionate, Most Merciful.
(16:47)
(He said to Musa,) 'We wanted their Lord to give them in exchange a purer
son than him, one more compassionate.' (18:81)
Do you not see that Allah has made everything on the earth subservient
to you and the ships running upon the sea by His command? He holds back
the heaven, preventing it from falling to the earth-except by His permission.
Allah is All-Compassionate to mankind, Most Merciful. (22:65)
Among His Signs is that He created spouses for you of your own kind so
that you might find tranquillity in them. And He has placed affection
and compassion between you. There are certainly Signs in that for people
who reflect. (30:21)
Then We sent Our Messengers following in their footsteps and sent 'Isa
son of Maryam after them, giving him the Gospel. We put compassion and
mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. They invented monasticism-We
did not prescribe it for them-purely out of desire to gain the pleasure
of Allah, but even so they did not observe it as it should have been observed.
To those of them who believed We gave their reward but many of them are
deviators. (57:27)
(The steep ascent is) then to be one of those who believe and urge each
other to steadfastness and urge each other to compassion. (90:17)
COMPETE
They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin the right and forbid
the wrong, and compete in doing good. They are among the righteous. (3:114)
And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and conserving
the previous Books. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down
and do not follow their whims and desires deviating from the Truth that
has come to you. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one
of you. Had Allah willed, He would have made you a single community, but
He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. So compete with
each other in doing good. Every one of you will return to Allah and He
will inform you regarding the things about which you differed. (5:48)
COMPULSION
There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. Right guidance
has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false gods
and believes in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never
give way. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (2:256)
CONJECTURE
And (We punished them) on account of their disbelief, and their utterance
of a monstrous slander against Maryam, and their saying, 'We killed the
Messiah, 'Isa son of Maryam, Messenger of Allah.' They did not kill him
and they did not crucify him but it was made to seem so to them. Those
who argue about him are in doubt about it. They have no real knowledge
of it, just conjecture. But they certainly did not kill him. (4:156-157)
If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would misguide you from Allah's
Way. They follow nothing but conjecture. They are only guessing. (6:116)
Those who associate others with Allah will say, 'If Allah had willed
we would not have associated anything with Him, nor would our fathers;
nor would we have made anything forbidden.' In the same way the people
before them also lied until they felt Our violent force. Say: 'Do you
have some knowledge you can produce for us? You are following nothing
but conjecture. You are only guessing.' (6:148)
Most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Conjecture is of no use whatsoever
against the truth. Allah most certainly knows what they are doing. (10:36)
Yes, indeed! Everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth belongs
to Allah. Those who call on something other than Allah are not really
following their partner-gods. They are only following conjecture. They
are only guessing. (10:66)
They say, 'If the All-Merciful had so willed, we would not have worshipped
them.' They have no knowledge of that. They are only conjecturing. (43:20)
They say, 'There is nothing but our existence in this world. We die and
we live and nothing destroys us except for time.' They have no knowledge
of that. They are only conjecturing. (45:24)
But as for those who disbelieved: 'Were My Signs not recited to you and
yet you proved arrogant; you were a people of evildoers? When you were
told, "Allah's promise is true and so is the Hour, of which there is no
doubt," you said, "We have no idea what the Hour is. We have only been
conjecturing. We are by no means certain."' (45:31-32)
Death to the conjecturers. (51:10)
They are nothing but names which you yourselves have given, you and your
forefathers. Allah has sent down no authority for them. They are following
nothing but conjecture and what their own selves desire. And that when
guidance has reached them from their Lord! (53:23)
They have no knowledge of this. They are only following conjecture. Conjecture
is of no avail whatever against the truth. (53:28)
CONSTELLATION
We have placed constellations in heaven and made them beautiful for those
who look. (15:16)
Blessed be He Who placed constellations in the sky and put a blazing
lamp and shining moon among them. (25:61)
CONSTRAINT
Strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has selected you and
not placed any constraint upon you in the religion-the religion of your
forefather Ibrahim. He named you Muslims before and also in this, so that
the Messenger could be witness against you and you could be witnesses
against all mankind. So perform prayer and give the alms and hold fast
to Allah. He is your Protector-the Best Protector, the Best Helper. (22:78)
There is no constraint on the blind, nor on the lame, nor on the sick.
We will admit all who obey Allah and His Messenger into Gardens with rivers
flowing under them. But We will punish with a painful punishment anyone
who turns his back. (48:17)
CONSULTATION
Mothers should nurse their children for two full years-those who wish
to complete the full term of nursing. It is the duty of the fathers to
feed and clothe them with correctness and courtesy-no self is charged
with more than it can bear. No mother should be put under pressure in
respect of her child nor any father in respect of his child. The same
duty is incumbent on the heir. If the couple both wish weaning to take
place after mutual agreement and consultation, there is nothing wrong
in their doing that. If you wish to find wet-nurses for your children,
there is nothing wrong in your doing that provided you hand over to them
what you have agreed to give with correctness and courtesy. Have fear
of Allah and know that Allah sees what you do. (2:233)
It is a mercy from Allah that you were gentle with them. If you had been
rough or hard of heart, they would have scattered from around you. So
pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult with them about
the matter. Then when you have reached a firm decision, put your trust
in Allah. Allah loves those who put their trust in Him. (3:159)
(Believers are) those who respond to their Lord and perform prayer, and
manage their affairs by mutual consultation and give of what We have provided
for them. (42:38)
CONSUMING
Those who say, 'Allah has made a contract with us that we should not
believe in any Messenger until he brings us a sacrifice consumed by fire.'
Say, 'Messengers came to you before me with the Clear Signs and with what
you say. So why did you kill them if you are telling the truth?' (3:183)
Keep a close check on orphans until they reach a marriageable age, then
if you perceive that they have sound judgement hand over their property
to them. Do not consume it extravagantly and precipitately before they
come of age. Those who are wealthy should abstain from it altogether.
Those who are poor should use it sensibly and correctly. When you hand
over their property to them ensure that there are witnesses on their behalf.
Allah suffices as a Reckoner. (4:6)
People who consume the property of orphans wrongfully consume nothing
in their bellies except fire. They will roast in a Searing Blaze. (4:10)
You who believe! Do not consume one another's property by false means,
but only by means of mutually agreed trade. And do not kill yourselves.
Allah is Most Merciful to you. (4:29)
Because of wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made forbidden for
them some good things which had previously been lawful for them; and because
of their obstructing many people from the Way of Allah, and because of
their practising usury when they were forbidden to do it, and because
of their consuming people's wealth by wrongful means, We have prepared
for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. (4:160-161)
They are people who listen to lies and consume ill-gotten gains. If they
come to you, you can either judge between them or turn away from them.
If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you in any way. But if you
do judge, judge between them justly. Allah loves the just. (5:42)
He says, 'I have consumed vast quantities of wealth.' (90:6)
CONTRACT
Those who break Allah's contract after it has been agreed, and sever
what Allah has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption on the earth,
it is they who are the lost. (2:27)
Tribe of Israel! Remember the blessing I conferred on you. Honour My
contract and I will honour your contract. Have dread of Me alone. (2:40)
They say, 'The Fire will only touch us for a number of days.' Say, 'Have
you made a contract with Allah-then Allah will not break His contract-or
are you rather saying about Allah what you do not know?' (2:80)
Why is it that, whenever they make a contract, a group of them disdainfully
tosses it aside? No indeed! Most of them have no faith. (2:100)
Remember when Ibrahim was tested by his Lord with certain words which
he carried out completely. He said, 'I will make you a model for mankind.'
He asked, 'And what of my descendants?' He said, 'My contract does not
include the wrongdoers.' (2:124)
And when We made the House (Kaaba) a place of return, a sanctuary for
mankind: They took the place where Ibrahim stood (to pray) as a place
of prayer. We contracted with Ibrahim and Isma'il: 'Purify My House for
those who circle it, and those who stay there, and those who bow and who
prostrate.' (2:125)
It is not devoutness to turn your faces to the East or to the West. Rather,
those with true devoutness are those who believe in Allah and the Last
Day, the Angels, the Book and the Prophets, and who, despite their love
for it, give away their wealth to their relatives and to orphans and the
very poor, and to travellers and beggars and to set slaves free, and who
perform prayer and give the alms; those who honour their contracts when
they make them, and are steadfast in poverty and illness and in battle.
Those are the people who are true. They are the people who guard against
evil. (2:177)
If you divorce them before you have touched them but have already allotted
them a dowry, they should have half the amount which you allotted, unless
they forgo it or the one in charge of the marriage contract forgoes it.
To forgo it is closer to heedfulness. Do not forget to show generosity
to one another. Allah sees what you do. (2:237)
No, the truth is, if people honour their contracts and have fear of Him,
Allah loves those who guard against evil. (3:76)
Those who sell Allah's contract and their own oaths for a paltry price,
such people will have no portion in the hereafter and on the Day of Rising
Allah will not speak to them or look at them or purify them. They will
have a painful punishment. (3:77)
Those who say, 'Allah has made a contract with us that we should not
believe in any Messenger until he brings us a sacrifice consumed by fire.'
Say, 'Messengers came to you before me with the Clear Signs and with what
you say. So why did you kill them if you are telling the truth?' (3:183)
How could you take it when you have been intimate with one another and
they have made a binding contract with you? (4:21)
You who believe! Fulfil your contracts. All livestock animals are lawful
for you, except those that are recited to you now; but it is still not
lawful to hunt while you are in the state of pilgrimage. Allah makes whatever
judgements He wills. (5:1)
And that you do not go near the property of orphans before they reach
maturity-except in a good way; that you give full measure and full weight
with justice-We impose on no self any more than it can bear; that you
are equitable when you speak-even if a near relative is concerned; and
that you fulfil Allah's contract. That is what He instructs you to do,
so that hopefully you will pay heed. (6:152)
We did not find many of them worthy of their contract. We found most
of them deviators. (7:102)
Whenever the plague came down on them they said, 'Musa, pray to your
Lord for us by the contract He has with you. If you remove the plague
from us, we will definitely believe in you and send the tribe of Israel
away with you.' (7:134)
Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth in
return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and they kill and
are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Gospel and
the Qur'an and who is truer to his contract than Allah? Rejoice then in
the bargain you have made. That is the great victory. (9:111)
(People of intelligence are) those who fulfil Allah's contract and do
not break their agreement. (13:20)
But as for those who break Allah's contract after it has been agreed
and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption
in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode.
(13:25)
Be true to Allah's contract when you have agreed to it, and do not break
your oaths once they are confirmed and you have made Allah your guarantee.
Allah knows what you do. (16:91)
Do not sell Allah's contract for a paltry price. What is with Allah is
better for you if you only knew. (16:95)
Do not go near the property of orphans before they reach maturity, except
in a good way. Fulfil your contracts. Contracts will be asked about. (17:34)
Has he surveyed the Unseen or has he a contract with the All-Merciful?
(19:78)
They have no right of intercession. None do but those who have a contract
with the All-Merciful. (19:87)
Musa returned to his people in anger and great sorrow. He said, 'My people,
did not your Lord make you a handsome promise? Did the fulfilment of the
contract seem too long to you or did you want to unleash your Lord's anger
upon yourselves, so you broke your promise to me?' (20:86)
We made a contract with Adam before, but he forgot. We did not find that
he had a firm resolve. (20:115)
(Believers are) those who honour their trusts and their contracts. (23:8)
Those who cannot find the means to marry should be abstinent until Allah
enriches them from His bounty. If any slaves you own want to make a contract
to free themselves, write it for them if you know of good in them and
give them some of the wealth Allah has given you. Do not force your slavegirls
to prostitute themselves if they desire to be virtuous women out of your
desire for the goods of this world. If anyone forces them, then after
they have been forced, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (24:33)
Yet they had previously made a contract with Allah that they would never
turn their backs. Contracts made with Allah will be asked about. (33:15)
Among the believers there are men who have been true to the contract
they made with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pact by death
and some are still waiting to do so, not having changed in any way at
all. (33:23)
Did I not make a contract with you, tribe of Adam, not to worship Satan,
who truly is an outright enemy to you? (36:60)
They said, 'Magician, invoke your Lord for us by the contract He has
made with you and we shall certainly follow the guidance.' (43:49)
Those who pledge you their allegiance pledge allegiance to Allah. Allah's
hand is over their hands. He who breaks his pledge only breaks it against
himself. But as for him who fulfils the contract he has made with Allah,
We will pay him an immense reward. (48:10)
(Believers are) those who honour their trusts and contracts. (70:32)
