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.

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

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!"

Qur'an 20091201
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
86. Say, "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne Supreme?"
87. They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Will you not then be filled with awe?"
88. Say, "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, Who protects, but is not protected, if you know?"
89. They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"
90. We have sent them the Truth, but indeed they practise falsehood!
91. No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with God. Behold! Each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah, from the things they attribute to God!
92. God knows what is hidden, and what is open. Too high is God for the partners they attribute to God!
93. Say, "O my Lord! If You will show me that which they are warned against,"
94. "Then O my Lord! Put me not among the people who do wrong!"
95. And We are certainly able to show you that against which they are warned.
96. Repel evil with that which is best. We are well acquainted with the things they say.
97. And say, "O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones."

78. It is God who has created for you hearing, sight, feeling, and understanding. Little thanks it is you give!
79. And God has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered back.
80. It is God Who gives life and death, and to God the alternation of night and day. Will you not then understand?
81. On the contrary, they say things similar to what the ancients said.
82. They say, "What! When we become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?"
83. "Such things have been promised to us and our fathers before! They are nothing but tales of the ancients!"
84. Say, "To whom belong the earth and all things therein? If you know!"
85. They will say, "To Allah!" Say, "Yet, will you not receive admonition?"
The Believers 23:78-85
