Kindle Notes & Highlights
137. Similar situations came to pass before you, so travel throughout the land and see the fate of the deniers.
139. Do not falter or grieve, for you will have the upper hand, if you are ˹true˺ believers.
If you have suffered injuries ˹at Uḥud˺, they suffered similarly ˹at Badr˺. We alternate these days ˹of victory and defeat˺ among people so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose martyrs from among you—and Allah does not like the wrongdoers— 141. and distinguish the ˹true˺ believers and destroy the disbelievers.
142. Do you think you will enter Paradise without Allah proving which of you ˹truly˺ struggled ˹for His cause˺ and patiently endured?
Allah loves those who persevere.
“Even if you were to remain in your homes, those among you who were destined to be killed would have met the same fate.”
159. It is out of Allah’s mercy that you ˹O Prophet˺ have been lenient with them. Had you been cruel or hard-hearted, they would have certainly abandoned you.
Once you make a decision, put your trust in Allah. Surely Allah loves those who trust in Him.
164. Indeed, Allah has done the believers a ˹great˺ favour by raising a messenger from among them—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom.
“Had they listened to us, they would not have been killed.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Try not to die[161] if what you say is true!”
Had they done what they were advised to do,[209] it would have certainly been far better for them and more reassuring, 67. and We would have granted them a great reward by Our grace 68. and guided them to the Straight Path.
69. And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous—what honourable company!
“The enjoyment of this world is so little, whereas the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. And none of you will be wronged ˹even by the width of˺ the thread of a date stone. Divine Destiny 78. Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.”
85. Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share in the reward, and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in the burden. And Allah is Watchful over all things.
88. Why are you ˹believers˺ divided into two groups regarding the hypocrites while Allah allowed them to regress ˹to disbelief˺ because of their misdeeds? Do you wish to guide those left by Allah to stray? And whoever Allah leaves to stray, you will never find for them a way.
95. Those who stay at home—except those with valid excuses[215]—are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives.
104. Do not falter in pursuit of the enemy—if you are suffering, they too are suffering. But you can hope to receive from Allah what they can never hope for. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
120. Satan only makes them ˹false˺ promises and deludes them with ˹empty˺ hopes. Truly Satan promises them nothing but delusion.
129. You will never be able to maintain ˹emotional˺ justice between your wives—no matter how keen you are. So do not totally incline towards one leaving the other in suspense.
So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do.
139. who choose disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek honour and power through that company? Surely all honour and power belongs to Allah.
140. He has already revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah’s revelations being denied or ridiculed, then do not sit in that company unless they engage in a different topic, or else you will be like them.
146. except those who repent, mend their ways, hold fast to Allah, and are sincere in their devotion to Allah; they will be with the believers. And Allah will grant the believers a great reward.
148. Allah does not like negative thoughts to be voiced—except by those who have been wronged.[229] Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
168. Those who disbelieve and wrong themselves—surely Allah will neither forgive them nor guide them to any path
173. As for those who believe and do good, He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace.
174. O humanity! There has come to you conclusive evidence from your Lord. And We have sent down to you a brilliant light.
There certainly has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book 16. through which Allah guides those who seek His pleasure to the ways of peace, brings them out of darkness and into light by His Will, and guides them to the Straight Path.
Yet Cain convinced himself to kill his brother, so he killed him—becoming a loser. 31.
35. O believers! Be mindful of Allah and seek what brings you closer to Him and struggle in His Way, so you may be successful.
And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the disbelievers.
If Allah had willed, He would have made you one community, but His Will is to test you with what He has given ˹each of˺ you. So compete with one another in doing good. To Allah you will all return, then He will inform you ˹of the truth˺ regarding your differences.
49. And judge between them ˹O Prophet˺ by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires.
63. Why do their rabbis and scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and consuming what is unlawful? Evil indeed is their inaction!
77. Say, “O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes in your faith beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of those who went astray before ˹you˺. They misled many and strayed from the Right Way.”
92. Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and beware! But if you turn away, then know that Our Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.
100. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Good and evil are not equal, though you may be dazzled by the abundance of evil. So be mindful of Allah, O people of reason, so you may be successful.”
67. Every ˹destined˺ matter has a ˹set˺ time to transpire.
104. Indeed, there have come to you insights from your Lord. So whoever chooses to see, it is for their own good. But whoever chooses to be blind, it is to their own loss. And I am not a keeper over you.
Note type Sufi
109. They swear by Allah their most solemn oaths that if a sign were to come to them, they would certainly believe in it. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Signs are only with Allah.” What will make you ˹believers˺ realize that even if a sign were to come to them, they still would not believe?
116. ˹O Prophet!˺ If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would lead you away from Allah’s Way. They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.
131. This ˹sending of the messengers˺ is because your Lord would never destroy a society for their wrongdoing while its people are unaware ˹of the truth˺.
12. Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.” 13. Allah said, “Then get down from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out! You are truly one of the disgraced.”
21. And he swore to them, “I am truly your sincere advisor.” 22. So he brought about their fall through deception.
“Did I not forbid you from that tree and ˹did I not˺ tell you that Satan is your sworn enemy?” 23. They replied, “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will certainly be losers.”
26. O children of Adam! We have provided for you clothing to cover your nakedness and as an adornment. However, the best clothing is righteousness.
27. O children of Adam! Do not let Satan deceive you as he tempted your parents out of Paradise and caused their cover to be removed in order to expose their nakedness. Surely he and his soldiers watch you from where you cannot see them. We have made the devils allies of those who disbelieve.
Just as He first brought you into being, you will be brought to life again.” 30.
35. O children of Adam! When messengers from among yourselves come to you reciting My revelations—whoever shuns evil and mends their ways, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
57. He is the One Who sends the winds ushering in His mercy. When they bear heavy clouds, We drive them to a lifeless land and then cause rain to fall, producing every type of fruit. Similarly, We will bring the dead to life, so perhaps you will be mindful.
