| POINTS FROM SEVENTEENTH CHAPTER |
 |
| The reckoning draws nigh for mankind, while they
turn away in heedlessness.
|
|
| And We sent not (as Our messengers) before
you other than men whom We inspired. ......We gave them not bodies
that would not eat food, nor were they immortals |
|
| And We sent no messenger before you but We
inspired him, (saying): There is no Gad save Me(Allah), so worship Me |
|
| ...the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them.
and We made every living thing of water |
|
| Every soul must taste of death, and We try you
with evil and with good, for ordeal. |
|
| Man is made of haste |
|
| And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection
so that no soul is wronged in aught |
|
| People who keep from evil, fear their Lord
in secret and dread the Hour (of doom)
|
|
| Quran is blessed reminder(of God's commandaments)
Will you then reject it? |
|
| When Abraham said unto his father and his folk:
What are these images unto which you pay devotion? |
|
| And We taught him the art of making garments (of mail)
to protect you in your daring. |
|
| And there is ban upon any community which We have
destroyed: that they shall not return, |
|
| Therein wailing is their portion and therein they hear not |
|
| We sent thee (o Phrophet pbuh) not save as a mercy for the peoples |
|
| Our Lord is the Beneficent, whose help is to be implored against that which
ye ascribe (unto Him) |
|
| Lo! the earthquake of the Hour (of Doom) is a tremendous thing |
|
| ...and among you there is he who is brought back to the most
abject time of life, so that, after knowledge, he knows naught... |
|
| Do not dispute concerning Allah without knowledge or guidance or a
scripture giving light.... |
|
| One who beguile (men) from the way of Allah for him
in this world is ignominy, and on the Day or Resurrection doom of burning |
|
| Unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth...... |
|
| And for every nation have We appointed a ritual, that they may mention
the name of Allah over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food; |
|
| Their flesh and their blood reach not Allah, but the devotion from you reachs Him |
|
| Believers have been allowed to fight i) if they have
been wronged, ii) they have been driven from their homes unjutly and only because of
their religion. And then Believers fight with the aim that if Allah gives them
power in the land, they will establish worship and pay the poor-due and enjoin
kidness and forbid inquity. And Allah's is the sequel of events |
|
| For indeed it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is
the hearts, which are within the bosoms, that grow blind |
|
| Say: O mankind! I am only a plain warner unto you. Those who
believe and do good works, for them is pardon and rich provision, while those
who strive to thwart Our revelations, such are rightful owners of the Fire |
|
| Lo! Allah verily is guiding those who believe unto a right path |
|
| The sovereignty on that day will be Allah's |
|
| And whoso retaliated with the like of that which he was made
to suffer and then has again been wronged. Allah will succour him |
|
| That is because Allah, He is the True, and that
whereon they call instead of Him, itis the False, ... |
|
| Unto each nation have We given sacred rites which they are to perform;
so let them not dispute with you of the matter,....and if they wrangle with you, say:
Allah is best aware of what you do |
|
| And when Our revelations are recited unto them,
you know the denial in the faces of those who disbelieve: they all but attack those who
receite Our revelations unto them. |
|
| Bow down and prostrate yourselves and worship Your Lord, and do
good, that haply you may prosper |
|
| He has chosen you and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith
of your father Abraham (is yours). He named you Muslims of old time and in this
(scripture)... |
