1. The Qur’an is made up of such letters from the Arabic alphabet. The Arabs at the time of revelation were the unmatched masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Although these disjointed Arabic letters are referring to the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best its meaning.

3. Follow (you people) what has been sent down to you 'of revelation' from (Allāh) your Lord, and do not follow any (lords, saints, and) guardians² besides Him. Little do you take heed.

4. How many a town have We destroyed (for their sins), so Our torment came to it3 by night or during their midday break.

3. Allāh, the All-Just, will only inflict punishment on those whom He forewarned and who were made aware of their wrongs through the communication of the Message and warning.

வசனம்: 5

8. (Every one's deeds) on that Day will be justly weighed (and evaluated). As for the one whose scales (of good deeds) is heavy, it is they who will be prosperous;

வசனம்: 9

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَظۡلِمُونَ

9. As for him whose scales (of good deeds) is light, they are the ones who will lose themselves (by entering Hell), for wrongfully dealing with Our revelations4.

12. 'Allāh' said: "What made you disobey me so that you did not prostrate when I commanded you?" (Satan) said: "I am better than him 'Adam'. You created me from fire, and created him from clay."

வசனம்: 13

قَالَ فَٱهۡبِطۡ مِنۡهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَٱخۡرُجۡ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ

16. (Satan) said: "That You have made me go astray5, I will certainly sit in wait for them (i.e., mankind) on Your straight Path."

5. By citing predestination, that Allāh had already decreed him to go astray, Satan sets the record for being the first to use the predestination as a pretext for not following Allah’s command as an excuse to justify his rebelliousness against Him.

வசனம்: 17

ثُمَّ لَأٓتِيَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَيۡنِ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ وَعَنۡ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمۡۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ شَٰكِرِينَ

22. Thus he deceitfully led them to the tree. When they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves from the Garden. Their Lord 'Allāh' called out to them saying: "Did I not forbid you from that tree and said to you that Satan is an open enemy to you?"

வசனம்: 23

قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمۡنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمۡ تَغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَتَرۡحَمۡنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ

26. Children of Adam, We have given you clothing to cover your private parts, as well as to be an adornment to you, but the clothing of righteousness - that is best8. These are from the Verses of Allāh - that they may take heed.

8. Instead of striving to clothe ourselves with the world’s latest fashions, we can exchange our striving for the Spirit’s clothing of “love, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” We can learn patience with each other on our journey to Allāh following the Truth, transforming our hearts - a journey that leads to lasting peace.

வசனம்: 27

يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفۡتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ كَمَآ أَخۡرَجَ أَبَوَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنۡهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَآۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَىٰكُمۡ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُۥ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا تَرَوۡنَهُمۡۗ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

27. Children of Adam, do not let Satan seduce you just as he expelled your parents from the Garden, pulling off from them their clothing to expose their private parts to them.

29. Say: "My Lord 'Allāh' has ordered to maintain justice. Direct your faces 'to the Qiblah' at every place 'and time' of prayer. Pray to Allāh sincerely, being devoted in your religion 'of Islam'. Just as He originated you, you will return to life."

வசனம்: 30

فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُۚ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ

32. Say: "Who has prohibited the beautiful things, which Allāh has brought forth for His servants and the good foods?" Say: "These are for the believers in the life of this world, exclusively (theirs) on the Day of Resurrection. Thus We detail the Verses for a people who know."

வசனம்: 33

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ ٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنۡهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلۡإِثۡمَ وَٱلۡبَغۡيَ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَن تُشۡرِكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا وَأَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

37. Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allāh or rejects His verses? These will have their share (of torment) which has been decreed for them. When Our messengers (the angel of death and his assistants) come to them causing them to die, they will ask: "Where is that which you used to worship besides Allāh?" They would answer: "They have gone away from us," and they will bear witness against themselves that they were deniers.

Whenever a group enters, it will curse the other dwellers, until when they are all brought together therein; the last of them will say to the foremost of them: "Our Lord, these are the ones who misled us, so give them a double torment of the Fire.

138. We helped the children of Israel to pass the sea. Then they came upon a people who kept to the worship of their idols. They said: "Moses, make for us a god as they have (their) gods25." He said: "You are an ignorant people who know not26.'

25. A companion of the Prophet said: We went out from Makkah with the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) to Hunayn and we were new in Islam at that time. The pagans had a tree to which they would go and spend time (to seek blessings) and they used to hang their things on it, and it was called Dhaat Anwaat. We passed by a large green tree and we said: ‘O Messenger of God, make for us a dhaat anwaat.’ The Messenger of God (peace and blessings upon him) said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul, you have said the same as the people of Moses said: make for us a god as they have gods. Verily you are a people who know not. These are ways that you will certainly follow as did those who came before you, step by step.’
We learn from this to beware of polytheism (associating others with Allāh in worship) and that a person may think that something is good and will bring him closer to Allāh, when it is as far removed as it can be from the mercy of his Lord and will bring him closer to His wrath. Seeking blessings from trees and rocks and rivers and being attached to them are all acts of idolatry.
26. The Majesty and Greatness of Allāh and what is obligatory upon you, i.e. to worship none but Allāh, the One and the Only true God of all that exists.

வசனம்: 139

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرٞ مَّا هُمۡ فِيهِ وَبَٰطِلٞ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

139. These people will be destroyed for that which they are engaged in (of idol-worship), and all that they are doing (of what they deem to be good of idolatry) is in vain27."

27. Seeking blessings is something determined by Allāh and no one can change it, alter it or add anything to it. The permissible ways of seeking blessings that are mentioned in the Scripture are as follows:
a) Seeking blessings through Zam Zam water, and the black stone.
b) Times: the month of Ramadan, the night of Decree, and the first ten days of Thul-Hijjah.
c) Places: Makkah, Madeenah and Jerusalem mosques.
d) Actions: Prayer, fasting alms, etc.
What is not mentioned in the legislation as being permissible to seek blessings with is forbidden. For instance: In human beings: like the saints and pious people.
Times, like the night of Ascension and the night of the birth of the Prophet .
Places: like graves and the like.
Actions: like innovations and newly introduced matters.
The blessings of Allāh, may He be exalted, can only be sought by obeying Allāh and obeying His messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him). That is achieved by doing what is enjoined and refraining from what is forbidden, and hastening to repent and seek forgiveness in the event of any shortcoming in doing what is obligatory or falling into anything that has been forbidden.

143. When Moses came at Our appointed time, and his Lord 'Allāh' spoke to him, he said: "Lord, show me (Yourself), so that I may look upon You." 'Allāh' said: "You cannot (bear to) see Me, but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then you shall see Me." So when his Lord 'Allāh' appeared to the mountain He made it collapse to dust, and Moses fell down unconscious; then when he recovered, he said: "Glory be to You 'O Allāh', I turn to You in repentance, and I am the first of the believers."

146. I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant on the earth without right. If they see every sign they will not believe in it.

148. In his absence, Moses’s people took (for worship) a golden calf of their ornaments, a (mere) body, which gave a (cow-like) sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to the right way? They took it (for worship) and they were unjust.

150. When Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said: "Evil is it that you have done after me. Did you hasten and turn away from the worship of 'Allāh' your Lord?"

Do not make the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the unjust people.

155. Moses chose of his people seventy men for Our appointment. When the earthquake overtook them, he said: "Lord 'Allāh', If You had willed, You could have taken them away before and myself (too).

157. Those who follow the Messenger - the unlettered Prophet (Muhammad), whom they find written (and described) in the Torah28 and the Evangel29 with them. He orders them what is right (and just) and forbids them from what is wrong (and unjust). He makes the pure things lawful for them and forbids for them the impure things, removes their burdens (and limitations which are like) chains upon them. Those who believe in him, honor and help him, and follow the Light (the Qur’an) which has been sent down with him - these are the successful and prosperous.

160. We divided them into twelve tribes, as nations; and We inspired Moses when his people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with your staff," so there gushed forth from it twelve springs.

வசனம்: 161

169. They were then succeeded by a generation who inherited the Scripture, taking the offer of this lowly life32 saying, "It will be forgiven to us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will again take it. Was not a covenant taken from them in the Scripture that they would not speak anything about Allāh except the Truth, and they have read what is in the Scripture. The home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allāh and shun evil. Do you not then understand?
