In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. All praise is to God, the Lord of the worlds, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. We worship You alone and we ask You alone for help. Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have blessed, not those whom You have condemned, nor those who have gone astray. 1:1-7

# 2 Here is no doubt of the Truth in this Book [the Qur’an], which contains guidance for the righteous: those who believe in the unseen, who pray regularly and who spend charitably from what We have given them. They are the ones who believe in what We revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and their belief in the Hereafter is strong. They are the ones who are truly guided by their Lord and who are truly successful. 2:2-5

As salaam Alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu
This Qur-an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds. Or do they say, "He forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth!" Nay, they charge with falsehood that whose knowledge they cannot compass, even before the elucidation thereof hath reached them: thus did those before them make charges of falsehood: but see what was the end of those who did wrong!Surah Yunus 10:37-39

Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
Lo! those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it cometh unto them (are guilty), for lo! it is an unassailable Scripture. Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or behind it. It is a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise. Surah Fussilat Ayah 41-42
Re: *!* The Message from Qur'an! (Daily Update ) *!*
It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah.fearing. (2.177)

The 35th verse of the 24th surah of the Qur’an, an-Nur, is known as the Light Verse (ayat an-nur). The verse is so called because of the remarkable parable of light---Divine Light--it contains. Here is a translation of the verse, followed by commentary, which is based mainly on the interpretation of Amin Ahsan Islahi in his "Tadabbur-i-Qur’an" (8 vols.; Lahore, 1973-80), 4:538 ff.
Translation
Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth! His light, in terms of a similitude, is like a niche in which there is a lamp--the lamp is in a glass, the glass as if it were a brilliant star--that is being kindled by [the oil of] a blessed olive tree that is neither [of the] eastern nor [of the] western [side]: its oil would all but light up, even though no fire touched it. Light upon light! Allah guides to His light whomever He wishes. And Allah strikes similitudes for people. And Allah has knowledge of everything.

O humankind, Worship sincerely your Lord, Who created you and those who came before you, so that you may become righteous. Your Lord has spread the earth for you as a bed, and the heavens as its covering. And He sent down rain from the sky, producing fruits for your sustenance. Do not, therefore, knowingly set up rival gods with God.
2:21-22

As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship) . Surely, Allah is Ever an All Watcher over you.Surah An-Nisa 4:1
Re: *!* The Message from Qur'an! (Daily Update ) *!*
. How can you not believe in God? He has given you life after you have been dead. Then He will cause you to die. Afterwards He will resurrect you and your final return will then be to Him. It is God who created all that is on earth, for your benefit; it is He who turned towards the cosmos and fashioned in it seven heavens. God has the fullest knowledge of everything. 2:28-29
That Allah may reward the true men for their truth, and punish the hypocrites if He will, or relent toward them (if He will). Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Do not you know that all the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to God? And do not you know that you have no true friend or true protector besides Him? 2:107
Re: *!* The Message from Qur'an! (Daily Update ) *!*
Wherever you turn, there is the face of God, for to Him belong both the East and the West. Surely God is the All-Embracing, the All-Knowing. And some say that God has begotten a Son. Nay, all glory be to The One God, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to Him; everything is in a state of submission to Him. He created the heavens and the earth. Whenever He wills something, He says ‘Be’ and it will be. 2:115-117
Re: *!* The Message from Qur'an! (Daily Update ) *!*
As the Prophet Ibrahim [Abraham] and his son, the Prophet Isma’el [Ishmael], were raising the foundation of God’s house [Ka’bah], they prayed and said, ‘Our Lord! Accept these deeds from us, as You are the All-Hearing and the All-Knowing. O Lord! Make us submissive to You and make our offspring also a submissive nation to You. Teach us our rituals, and accept our repentance, for You, our Most Merciful Lord, are the One who accepts repentance. O Lord! Send our offspring a Messenger from among them to teach the Book and Wisdom and to purify them in faith and deeds, for You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.’ 2:127-129
O ye who believe! Be not as those who slandered Moses, but Allah proved his innocence of that which they alleged, and he was well esteemed in Allah's sight. (69) O ye who believe! Guard your duty to Allah, and speak words straight to the point; (70) He will adjust your works for you and will forgive you your sins. Whosoever obeyeth Allah and His messenger, he verily hath gained a signal victory. (71) Lo! We offered the trust unto the heavens and the earth and the hills, but they shrank from bearing it and were afraid of it. And man assumed it. Lo! he hath proved a tyrant and a fool. (72) So Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and idolatrous men and idolatrous women. But Allah pardoneth believing men and believing women, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (73)

[O Muslims] Say, ‘We believe in God and what has been revealed to us through the Qur’an; and we believe in what has been revealed to Ibrahim [Abraham], Isma’el [Ishmael], Ishaq [Isaac], Ya’qob [Jacob], and the tribes; and we believe in the Books given to Musa [Moses] and ‘Isa [Jesus] and in what has been revealed to the Prophets from their Lord — we do not make any distinction of superiorityamong any of them — and we are submissive only to God.’ 2:136

As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
By the dawn; By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah), And by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah). And by the night when it departs. There is indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of understanding (and that, they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbeliefs, etc.)! Did you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) not see (thought) how your Lord dealt with 'Ad (people)? Who were very tall like lofty pillars, The like of which were not created in the land? And (with) Thamûd (people), who cut (hewed) out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)? And (with) Fir'aun (Pharaoh), who had pegs (who used to torture men by binding them to pegs)? Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allah). And made therein much mischief. So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment. Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them). As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): "My Lord has honoured me." But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me! Nay! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity (i.e. you neither treat them well, nor give them their exact right of inheritance)! And urge not on the feeding of AlMiskîn (the poor)! And you devour inheritance all with greed, And you love wealth with much love! Nay! When the earth is ground to powder, And your Lord comes with the angels in rows, And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance (then) avail him? He will say: Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life! So on that Day, none will punish as He will punish. And none will bind as He will bind. (It will be said to the pious): O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction! Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing unto Him! Enter you, then, among My honoured slaves, And enter you My Paradise!Surah Al-Fajr 89

Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion. Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whereof the breadth is as the breadth of the heavens and the earth, which is in store for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. Such is the bounty of Allah, which He bestoweth upon whom He will, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
Surah Hadeed [20-21]
Re: *!* The Message from Qur'an! (Daily Update ) *!*
"O ye who believe! bow down prostrate yourselves and adore your Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper. And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive (with sincerity and under discipline): He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (Revelation); that the Apostle may be a witness for you and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer give regular Charity and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector the Best to protect and the Best to help!"
