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 you, 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, your duty is to convey the Message. And in Allah's sight are God's servants.
The Family of Imran 3:12-20.

Our Lord! We have indeed believed. Forgive us then our sins, and save us from the agony of the fire.
I have submitted my whole self to Allah, and so have those who follow me.
Do you submit yourselves?

Qur'an 20110226
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
222. They ask you 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

Concerning women's courses: they are a hurt and a pollution, so keep away from women in their courses, and do not approach them until they are clean.

Qur'an 20110225
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
219. They ask you 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 you 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 you 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.
How much to spend? What is beyond your needs.

Qur'an 20110224
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
215. They ask you 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 you concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say, "Fighting therein is a grievousness, 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.

Qur'an 20110219
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
189. They ask you concerning the New Moons. Say, "They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in men, and for Pilgrimage." It is no virtue if you enter your houses from the back: it is virtue if you fear Allah. Enter houses through the proper doors, and fear Allah, that you may prosper.

They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in men, and for Pilgrimage.
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calender. The new moons are used to measure time, and that's it. There are no superstitions involved, and there is no worship of the moon.

Qur'an 20110208
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
135. They say, "Become Jews or Christians if you would be guided." Say you, "No! The Religion of Abraham, the True, and he joined not gods with Allah."
136. Say you, "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abaham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the descendents, and that given to Moses, and Jesus, and that given to Prophets from their Lord. We make no difference between one and another of them, and we bow to Allah."
137. So if they believe as you believe, they are indeed on the right path: but if they turn back, it is they who are in a schism. But Allah will suffice you as against them, and God is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
138. The Color of Allah: and who can color better than Allah? And it is God whom we worship.
139. Say, "Will you dispute with us about Allah, seeing that God is our Lord and your Lord: that we are responsible for our doings and you for yours, and that we are sincere to God?"
140. Or so you say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the descendents were Jews and Christians? Say, "Do you know better than Allah?" Ah! Who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah? But Allah is not unmindful of what you do!
The Heifer 2:135-140
---------------------------------------------------------
Nay! The Religion of Abraham, the True, and he joined not gods with Allah.
