Kindle Notes & Highlights
53. The wicked will see the Fire and realize that they are bound to fall into it, and will find no way to avoid it.
54. We have surely set forth in this Quran every ˹kind of˺ lesson for people, but humankind is the most argumentative of all beings.
58. Your Lord is the All-Forgiving, Full of Mercy. If He were to seize them ˹immediately˺ for what they commit, He would have certainly hastened their punishment. But they have an appointed time, from which they will find no refuge.
68. And how can you be patient with what is beyond your ˹realm of˺ knowledge?”
100. On that Day We will display Hell clearly for the disbelievers, 101. those who turned a blind eye to My Reminder
102. Do the disbelievers think they can ˹simply˺ take My servants[571] as lords instead of Me? We have surely prepared Hell as an accommodation for the disbelievers.
103. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Shall we inform you of who will lose the most deeds? 104. ˹They are˺ those whose efforts are in vain in this worldly life, while they think they are doing good!”
109. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If the ocean were ink for ˹writing˺ the Words of my Lord, it would certainly run out before the Words of my Lord were finished, even if We refilled it with its equal.”
He wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I have become extremely old?” 9. An angel replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, just as I created you before, when you were nothing!’”
38. How clearly will they hear and see on the Day they will come to Us! But today the wrongdoers are clearly astray.
59. But they were succeeded by generations who neglected prayer and followed their lusts and so will soon face the evil consequences.[579] 60. As for those who repent, believe, and do good, it is they who will be admitted into Paradise, never being denied any reward.
66. Yet ˹some˺ people ask ˹mockingly˺, “After I die, will I really be raised to life again?” 67. Do ˹such˺ people not remember that We created them before, when they were nothing?

Quran arument for ressurection
75. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Whoever is ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, the Most Compassionate will allow them plenty of time, until—behold!—they face what they are threatened with: either the torment or the Hour. Only then will they realize who is worse in position and inferior in manpower.”
77. Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ the one[584] who rejects Our revelations yet boasts, “I will definitely be granted ˹plenty of˺ wealth and children ˹if there is an afterlife˺.”? 78. Has he looked into the unseen or taken a pledge from the Most Compassionate?
83. Do you ˹O Prophet˺ not see that We have sent the devils against the disbelievers, constantly inciting them? 84. So do not be in haste against them, for indeed We are ˹closely˺ counting down their days.
96. As for those who believe and do good, the Most Compassionate will ˹certainly˺ bless them with ˹genuine˺ love.
15. The Hour is sure to come. My Will is to keep it hidden, so that every soul may be rewarded according to their efforts.
My notes
Why we cannot see Allah?
42. “Go forth, you and your brother, with My signs and never falter in remembering Me.
43. Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺. 44. Speak to him gently, so perhaps he may be mindful ˹of Me˺ or fearful ˹of My punishment˺.”
55. From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will bring you back again.
72. They responded, “By the One Who created us! We will never prefer you over the clear proofs that have come to us. So do whatever you want! Your authority only covers the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world.
74. Whoever comes to their Lord as an evildoer will certainly have Hell, where they can neither live nor die. 75. But whoever comes to Him as a believer, having done good, they will have the highest ranks:
99. This is how We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ some of the stories of the past. And We have certainly granted you a Reminder[606] from Us. 100. Whoever turns away from it will surely bear the burden ˹of sin˺ on the Day of Judgment, 101. suffering its consequences forever. What an evil burden they will carry on Judgment Day!
110. He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them,[610] but they cannot encompass Him in ˹their˺ knowledge.
123. Allah said, “Descend, both of you, from here together ˹with Satan˺ as enemies to each other. Then when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray ˹in this life˺ nor suffer ˹in the next˺. 124. But whoever turns away from My Reminder will certainly have a miserable life,
126. Allah will respond, “It is so, just as Our revelations came to you and you neglected them, so Today you are neglected.”
And the ultimate outcome is ˹only˺ for ˹the people of˺ righteousness.
133. They demand, “If only he could bring us a sign from his Lord!”[619] Have they not ˹already˺ received a confirmation of what is in earlier Scriptures?
6. Not a ˹single˺ society We destroyed before them ever believed ˹after receiving the signs˺. Will these ˹pagans˺ then believe?
23. He cannot be questioned about what He does, but they will ˹all˺ be questioned.
24. Or have they taken other gods besides Him? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Show ˹me˺ your proof. Here is ˹the Quran,˺ the Reminder for those with me; along with ˹earlier Scriptures,˺ the Reminder for those before me.”
My notes
what is proof of Islam
35. Every soul will taste death. And We test you ˹O humanity˺ with good and evil as a trial, then to Us you will ˹all˺ be returned.
90. So We answered his prayer, granted him John, and made his wife fertile. Indeed, they used to race in doing good, and call upon Us with hope and fear, totally humbling themselves before Us.
106. Surely this ˹Quran˺ is sufficient ˹as a reminder˺ for those devoted to worship. 107. We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a mercy for the whole world.
8. ˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, guidance, or an enlightening scripture, 9. turning away ˹in pride˺ to lead ˹others˺ astray from Allah’s Way. They will suffer disgrace in this world, and on the Day of Judgment We will make them taste the torment of burning.
17. Indeed, the believers, Jews, Sabians,[652] Christians, Magi,[653] and the polytheists—Allah will judge between them ˹all˺ on Judgment Day. Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.
so submit yourselves to Him ˹alone˺. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the humble: 35. those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, who patiently endure whatever may befall them, and who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.
My notes
Who are humble
38. Indeed, Allah defends those who believe. Surely Allah does not like whoever is deceitful, ungrateful.
42. If they deny you ˹O Prophet˺, so did the people of Noah before them, as well as ˹the tribes of˺ ’Ȃd and Thamûd, 43. the people of Abraham, the people of Lot, 44. and the residents of Midian. And Moses was denied ˹too˺. But I delayed ˹the fate of˺ the disbelievers ˹until their appointed time˺ then seized them. And how severe was My response!
46. Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.
48. Many are the societies whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then seized them. And to Me is the final return.
50. So those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.
54. ˹This is˺ also so that those gifted with knowledge would know that this ˹revelation˺ is the truth from your Lord, so they have faith in it, and so their hearts would submit humbly to it. And Allah surely guides the believers to the Straight Path.
8. ˹the believers are also˺ those who are true to their trusts and covenants;
Parable for the Disbelievers 39. As for the disbelievers, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert, which the thirsty perceive as water, but when they approach it, they find it to be nothing. Instead, they find Allah there ˹in the Hereafter, ready˺ to settle their account. And Allah is swift in reckoning.
6. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “This ˹Quran˺ has been revealed by the One Who knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth. Surely He is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”[729]
We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you ˹not then˺ be patient? And your Lord is All-Seeing.
43. Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ the one who has taken their own desires as their god? Will you then be a keeper over them?
56. And We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a deliverer of good news and a warner. 57. Say, “I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺, but whoever wishes, let them pursue the Way to their Lord.” 58. Put your trust in the Ever-Living, Who never dies, and glorify His praises. Sufficient is He as All-Aware of the sins of His servants. 59. ˹He is˺ the One Who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six Days,[745] then established Himself on the Throne. ˹He is˺ the Most Compassionate! Ask ˹none other than˺ the All-Knowledgeable about Himself.
4. If We willed, We could send down upon them a ˹compelling˺ sign from the heavens, leaving their necks bent in ˹utter˺ submission to it.
