Kindle Notes & Highlights
O children of Adam! We have provided you with clothing to cover your bodies, and for luxury. But the clothing of piety-that is best. These are some of Allah's revelations, so that they may take heed.
Clothes modesty
O Children of Adam! Dress properly at every place of worship, and eat and drink, but do not be excessive. He does not love the excessive.
Modesty in food and drink
Say, "My Lord has forbidden immoralities-both open and secret-and sin, and unjustified aggression, and that you associate with Allah anything for which He revealed no sanction, and that you say about Allah what you do not know."
Forbidden
As for those who believe and do righteous works-We never burden any soul beyond its capacity-these are the inhabitants of the Garden; abiding therein eternally.
Allah never over burdens
It is He who sends the wind ahead of His mercy. Then, when they have gathered up heavy clouds, We drive them to a dead land, where We make water come down, and with it We bring out all kinds of fruits. Thus We bring out the dead-perhaps you will reflect.
Reviving dead land
94. We did not send any prophet to any town but We afflicted its people with misery and adversity, so that they may humble themselves.
As for those who commit sins, and then repent afterwards and believe-your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
Seek forgiveness
157. Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel in their possession. He directs them to righteousness, and deters them from evil, and allows for them all good things, and prohibits for them wickedness, and unloads the burdens and the shackles that are upon them. Those who believe in him, and respect him, and support him, and follow the light that came down with him-these are the successful.
And We tested them with fortunes and misfortunes, so that they may return.
Tests of life
When the Quran is recited, listen to it, and pay attention, so that you may experience mercy.
Listen to Quran
And remember your Lord within yourself, humbly and fearfully, and quietly, in the morning and the evening, and do not be of the neglectful.
Dhikr
O you who believe! Do not betray Allah and the Messenger, nor betray your trusts, while you know.
Do not betray
And know that your possessions and your children are a test, and that Allah possesses an immense reward.
Money and children are tests

Postponement
51. Say, "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us; He is our Protector." In Allah let the faithful put their trust.
Trust in Allah
Water is life
You do not get into any situation, nor do you recite any Quran, nor do you do anything, but We are watching over you as you undertake it. Not even the weight of an atom, on earth or in the sky, escapes your Lord, nor is there anything smaller or larger, but is in a clear record.
Allah watches always
If We give the human being a taste of mercy from Us, and then withdraw it from him, he becomes despairing and ungrateful. 10. And if We give him a taste of prosperity, after some adversity has afflicted him, he will say, "Troubles have gone away from me." He becomes excited and proud.
Reflect
He said, "O Noah, he is not of your family. It is an unrighteous deed. So do not ask Me about something you know nothing about. I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorant."
