Some Important Quranic Verses Today


In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

Alif. La`m. Mi`m. Do the people think that they will be left alone after they have once said, "We have believed," and they will not be tested? The fact is that we have put to test all those who have gone before them. Surely, Allah has to see who are the truthful and who the liars. And do those who are committing evil deeds reckon that they will outstrip Us? Evil is their judgment.

[29: 1-4]

Do you think that you will enter Paradise without undergoing such trials as were experienced by the believers before you? They met with adversity and affliction and were so shaken by trials that the Prophet of the time and his followers cried out: "When will Allah's help come"? (Then they were comforted with the good tidings): "Yes, Allah's help is near."
[2:214]

It does not become those who associate others with Allah in His divinity to visit and tend Allah's mosques while they bear witness of unbelief against themselves. All their works have gone to waste. They shall abide in the Fire. It only becomes those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish Prayer and pay Zakah and fear none but Allah to visit and tend the mosques of Allah. These are likely to be guided aright. Do you consider providing water to the Pilgrims and tending the Sacred Mosque equal in worth to believing in Allah and the Last Day and striving in the cause of Allah? The two are not equal with Allah. Allah does not guide the wrong doing folk. The higher rank with Allah is for those who believed and migrated and strove in His cause with their belongings and their persons. It is they who are triumphant. Their Lord gives them glad tidings of mercy from Him and of His good pleasure. For them await Gardens of eternal bliss. Therein they shall abide forever. Surely with Allah there is a mighty reward.
[9:17-22]
