In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
59. The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam. God created him from dust, then said to him, "Be!" And he was.
60. The Truth from your Lord alone, so be not of those who doubt.
61. If anyone disputes in this matter with you now after knowledge has come to you, say, "Come! Let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"
62. This is the true account: there is no god except Allah. And Allah: God is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
63. But if they turn back, Allah has full knowledge of those who do mischief.
The Family of Imran 3:59-63

Come! Let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!

Qur'an 20081210
In the name ofAllah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
28. Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers. If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah except by way of precaution, that you may guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you Godself, for the final goal is to Allah.
29. Say, "Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all. God knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and Allah has power over all things."
30. On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil. But Allah cautions you Godself, and Allah is Full of Kindness to those that serve God.
31. Say, "If you do love Allah, follow me. Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful."
32. Say, "Obey Allah and God's messenger." But if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject Faith.
The Family of Imran 3:28-32

Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all. God knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and Allah has power over all things.
If you do love Allah, follow me. Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.
Obey Allah and God's messenger.
I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

Qur'an 20081209
In the name ofAllah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
23. Have you turned your vision to those who have been given a portion of the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah to settle their dispute, but a party of them turn back and decline.
24. This because they say, "The fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days." For their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.
25. But how, when We gather them together against a Day about which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned, without injustice?
26. Say, "O Allah! Lord of Power! You give Power to whom you please, and You strip off Power from whom You please. You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your Hand is all Good. Verily, over all things You have Power."
The Family of Imran 3:21-26
---------------------------------------------------------
O Allah! Lord of Power! You give Power to whom you please, and You strip off Power from whom You please. You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your Hand is all Good. Verily, over all things You have Power.
Those who killed the prophets of Allah, and those who killed people who teach just dealing with mankind have no clue of power, and the measure of time. Allah promises them a grievous penalty. They will get theirs, if not already.

Qur'an 20081208
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
12. Say to those who reject Faith, "Soon you will be vanquished, and gathered together to hell- an evil bed indeed!"
13. There has already been for you a Sign in the two armies that met: one was fighting in the Cause of Allah, the other resisting Allah; these saw with their own eyes twice their number. But Allah does support with God's aid whom God pleases. In this is a warning for such as have eyes to see.
14. Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons, heaped up hoards of gold and silver, horses branded and cattle, and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life, but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals.
15. Say, "Shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those? For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord, with rivers flowing beneath. Therein is their eternal home, with companions pure, and in good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are God's servants."
16. Those who say,"Our Lord! We have indeed believed. Forgive us then our sins, and save us from the agony of the fire."
17. Those who show patience, firmness and self-control, who are true, who worship devoutly, who spend, and who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.
18. There is no god but God. That is the witness of Allah, God's angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but God, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
19. The Religion before Allah is Islam. Nor did the people of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is Swift in calling to account.
20. So if they dispute with thee, say, "I have submitted my whole self to Allah, and so have those who follow me." And say to the people of the Book, and those who are unlearned, "Do you submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance. But if they turn back, thy duty is to convey the Message. And in Allah's sight are God's servants.
The Family of Imran 3:12-20.

Soon you will be vanquished, and gathered together to hell- an evil bed indeed!

Qur'an 20081121
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
222. They ask thee concerning women's courses. Say, "They are a hurt and a pollution, so keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean. But when they have purified themselves, you may approach them in any manner, time or place Ordained for you by Allah. For Allah loves those who turn to God constantly, and God loves those who keep themselves pure and clean."
223. Your wives are as a tilth to you, so approach your tilth when or how you will. But do some good act for your souls beforehand, and fear Allah, and know that you are to meet God. And give good tidings to those who believe.
224. And make not Allah an excuse in your oaths against doing good, or acting rightly, or making peace between persons, for Allah is One who Hears and Knows all things.
225. Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts. And God is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
The Heifer 2:222-225

Qur'an 20081120
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
219. They ask thee concerning booze and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin, and some benefit, for mankind, but the sin is greater than the benefit." They ask thee how much they are to spend. Say, "What is beyond your needs." Thus does Allah make clear to you God's Signs, in order that you may consider...
220. about this life and the Hereafter. They ask thee concerning orphans. Say, "The best thing to do is what is for their good." If you mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren. But Allah knows the man who means mischief from the man who means good. And if Allah had willed, God could have put you into difficulties. God is indeed Exalted in Power, Wise.
The Heifer 2:219-220
----------------------------------------------------------
Concerning booze and gambling: In them is great sin, and some benefit, for mankind, but the sin is greater than the benefit.

215. They ask thee what they should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend that is good, is for parents, and kindred, and orphans, and those in want, and for wayfarers, and whatever you do that is good: Allah knows it well."
216. Fighting is prescribed upon you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not.
217. They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say, "Fighting therein is grievous, but graver it is in the Sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny God, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members. Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter, nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter: they will be companions of the fire, and will abide therein."
218. Those who believed, and those who suffered exile and fought in the Path of Allah: they have the Mercy of Allah. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
