2:186 If My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and acknowledge Me that they may be guided.

006:068 God has given ultimate freedom of thought, belief and expression (2:256; 4:137, 140; 6:110; 10:99; 18:29; 88:20-21). Those who threaten the lives of those who criticize or insult their faith, ignore God's advice in this and other verses.
The word day (yawm), in its singular form, occurs exactly 365 times in the Quran.
Those who say, "Our Lord, grant us from our mates and our progeny what will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us role models for the righteous."
Recite what is inspired to you of the book, and hold the contact prayer; for the contact prayer prohibits evil and vice, and the remembrance of God is the greatest. God knows everything you do.*
34:28 We have sent you to all people to be a bearer of good news, as well as a warner; but most people do not know.
39:53 Say, "O My servants who transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God's mercy. For God forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, the Compassionate."*
040:024 Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun, representing the political, military, capitalist powers, respectively, united to fight against God's message. This oligarchy used magicians (religious leaders) to continue their corrupt and exploitative system
According to the Quran, time is relative (32:5; 70:4).
Monotheists will get the clear divine message despite errors in translations, since they study comparatively by using their God-given critical thinking skills. The teacher of the Quran is God Himself (55:1-2). See 43:3; 11:1.
The most important public task needing consultation is the election of leaders. About thirty years after the departure of Muhammad, polytheists abandoned the election system and established a monarchy or sultanate.
While Europeans engaged in philosophical arguments, the Ottomans recited the holy book no better than a parrot, the book that highlighted the importance of learning, questioning, discovery, and the pursuit of knowledge.
The root of ARaBy (Arabic) is ARB, and also means "excellent" or "perfect" (See 56:37). Since the message of the Quran was sent to all humanity and jinns, the eloquence of the language of the Arabic Quran does not necessarily come from its being in the Arabic language, but its Arabic being ARB, that is, excellent or perfect. In other words, the message of this verse is not about the proper name Arabic, but about its literary meaning.
46:13 Surely, those who said, "Our Lord is God," then they lead a righteous life, there is no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
"My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteousness that pleases You. Let my progeny be righteous. I have repented to You; I am of those who have peacefully surrendered."*
49:9 If two parties of those who acknowledge battle with each other, you shall reconcile them; but if one of them aggresses against the other, then you shall fight the one aggressing until it complies with God's command. Once it complies, then you shall reconcile the two groups with justice, and be equitable; for God loves those who are equitable.
52:29 Therefore, you shall remind. For by the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor mad.
"Our Lord, we have put our trust in You, and we turn to You, and to You is the final destiny."*
Whosoever reverences God, He will create a solution for him. 65:3 He will provide for him whence he never expected. Anyone who puts his trust in God, then He suffices him. God's commands will be done.
God does not burden any person more than He has given it. God will provide ease after difficulty.
"Our Lord, keep perfect our light for us, and forgive us; You are able to do all things."
