In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
71. And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with a conversion-
72. Those who witness no falsehood, and if they pass by futility, they pass it with honor;
73. Those who, when they are admonished with the signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;
74. And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us to lead the righteous."
75. These are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein they shall be met with salutations and peace,
76. Dwelling therein- how beautiful an abode and a place of rest!
77. Say: "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and soon will come the inevitable."
The Criterion 25:71-77

Qur'an 20091223
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
54. It is God who created man from water: then has God established relationships of lineage and marriage: for your Lord has Power.
55. Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them, and the disbeliever is a helper against his Lord!
56. But you We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.
57. Say: "No reward do I ask of you but this: that each one who will may take a path to his Lord."
58. And put your trust in God who lives and dies not, and celebrate God's praise, and enough is God to be acquainted with the faults of God's servants.
59. God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne. The Most Gracious: ask you then about God, of any acquainted.
60. When it is said to them, "Adore you the Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is the Most Gracious? Shall we adore that which you command us?" And it increases their flight.
The Criterion 25:54-60

Qur'an 20091217
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
4. But the unbelievers say: "This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.
5. And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written, and they are dictated before him morning and evening."
6. Say, "This was sent down by God who knows the Mystery in the heavens and the earth. Verily God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
7. And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?"
8. "Or why has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or a garden that he may eat out of it?" The wicked say, "You follow none other than a man bewitched."
9. See what kind of companions they make for you! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!
The Criterion 25:4-9

This was sent down by God who knows the Mystery in the heavens and the earth: verily God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

Qur'an 20091213
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
51. The answer of the believers when summoned to Allah and God's messenger, in order that he may judge between them, is no other than this: "We hear and we obey." It is such as these that will attain felicity.
52. It is such as obey Allah and God's messenger, and fear Allah and do right, that will win.
53. They swear their strongest oaths by Allah that, if only you would command them, they would deploy. Say, "Swear you not. Obedience is reasonable. Verily, Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do."
54. Say, "Obey Allah, and obey the messenger. But if you turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him, and you for that placed on you. If you obey him, you shall be on right guidance. The messenger's duty is only to preach the clear."
55. Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds that God will, of a surety, grant them in the land inheritance as God granted it to those before them; that God will establish in authority their religion, the one which God has chosen for them; and that God will change the fear of theirs to one of security and peace. They will worship God and not associate any with God. If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.

Qur'an 20091208
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
30. Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that would make for greater purity for them, and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.
31. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that they should not display their beauty except what appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms, and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers! Turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain bliss.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
115. Did you then think that We had created you as a joke, and that you would not be brought back to Us?
116. Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality, there is no god but God, the Lord of the Throne of Honor!
117. If anyone invokes, besides Allah, any other god, he has no authority therefor, and his reckoning will be only with his Lord. And verily the unbelievers will fail to win through.
118. So say, "O my Lord! Grant Your forgiveness and mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!"
The Believers 23:115-118
