5:45 We ordained in the Book, “Life for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for
ear, and tooth for tooth, and for wounds retaliation.” Whoever will give up retaliation, it is
an act of atonement for his sins. Whoever does not use the laws of Allah to judge is unjust.
4:60 Have you not noticed those who act like they believe in that which has been revealed to
you and that which was revealed before you? They wish to seek the judgment of Satan,
although they have been commanded to deny him, and Satan wishes to lead them astray into
grievous sin. And when it is said to them, “Come and be judged by what Allah has revealed
and by His Messenger,” you see them turn their heads in disgust. But how would they act if
some disaster came upon them because of what they have done with their own hands? They
would come to you, swearing by Allah, “We wish nothing but goodwill and reconciliation.”
But Allah knows the secrets of their hearts. Therefore, turn away from them and warn them,
speaking words that will pierce their souls.
4:64 We have sent messengers only so that people will obey them by Allah’s permission. If
the people hurt themselves by their own error, and they came to you to ask Allah’s
forgiveness, and you asked Allah’s forgiveness on their behalf, they would certainly have
found Allah forgiving and merciful. But no, I swear by your Lord, they will not believe until
they make you judge in all their disputes. Then they will have no doubt in the fairness of
your judgment and will entirely submit to you.
4:66 If We had commanded them, “Lay down your lives,” or “Abandon your homes,” only a
few of them would have obeyed. But if they had done as they were commanded, it would
have been better for them and it would have strengthened their faith. We would have given
them of Ourselves a great reward and guided them to the right path.
4:69 Those who obey Allah and His Messenger will live with the messengers and the
faithful and the martyrs and the righteous. What wonderful company! This is the bounty of
Allah, and Allah’s infinite knowledge is sufficient. Believers! Be cautious, and either march
forward in groups or advance all together. There are some among you who are sure to hang
back, and if a disaster came upon you, would say, “Allah has dealt with us graciously
because we were not in the battle.” If, however, you were met with victory, they, as if there
were no friendship between you, would say, “If only I had been with them! Surely I would
have been greatly successful!”
4:74 Let those who would sell the life of this world for the world to come fight for Allah’s
cause [jihad]. Whoever fights for Allah’s cause, whether he is killed or is victorious, We
will grant him a great reward. How could you not fight for Allah’s cause? For the weak men,
women, and children who plead, “Lord! Rescue us from this city of oppressors [Mecca].
Send us a protector from Your presence; send a defender from Your presence.”
4:76 The believers fight for Allah’s cause [jihad] and the unbelievers fight for Satan.
Therefore, fight against the friends of Satan. Truly Satan’s strategy is weak.
174
4:77 Look at those who were told, “Lay down your arms of war for a time, attend to your
prayers, and pay the poor tax.” When they were told to resume fighting, some of them feared
their fellow man more than they should have feared Allah, and said, “Lord! Why have you
commanded us to fight? Why could you not have given us a longer respite?” Say: The joys
of this world are fleeting. The world to come will be better for those of you who fear Allah,
and you will never be treated unfairly in the least. Wherever you are, death will find you,
even if you lock yourselves in high towers! If something good happens to them they say,
“This is from Allah,” but if something evil happens to them they say, “It was the
Messenger’s fault.” Say: Everything is from Allah! But what is wrong with these people that
they fail to understand what is told to them?
4:79 Whatever good comes to you is from Allah, but whatever evil happens to you is from
yourself. We have sent you to mankind as a Messenger, and Allah is sufficient as your
witness. Those who obey the Messenger obey Allah. As for those who turn away from you,
We have not sent you to watch over them.
4:81 They promise obedience to you, but when they leave you, they gather together at night
and plan to do other than what you say. Allah writes down all they say. Therefore, leave
them alone and put your trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as your protector. Will they not
study the Koran? Were it not from Allah, they surely would have found many contradictions
in it. And when they hear any news, whether it is good or bad, they announce it to everyone.
On the other hand, if they had told the Messenger or those in authority, the wise among them
would have learned it from them. If it were not for Allah’s grace and mercy, all but a few of
you would have followed Satan!
4:84 Therefore, fight for Allah’s cause [jihad]. Do not lay the burden on anyone but
yourself, and stir up the faithful. It may be that Allah will restrain the unbelievers’ fury.
Allah is mightier and stronger in His punishment.
4:85 Those who mediate between people for a good cause will gain from it, but those who
mediate for an evil cause will bear the consequences. Allah has power over all things.
4:86 When a considerate greeting is offered to you, return it with a more considerate
greeting, or at least one equally as considerate. Surely, Allah takes note of all things.
66:6 Oh, believers, save yourselves and your families from the Fire whose fuel is men and
stones [ritual objects made from stone], over which are set fierce and mighty angels. They
do not resist Allah’s commands, but do precisely what they are commanded. Oh,
unbelievers, do not make excuses for yourselves this day. You are only being rewarded for
your deeds.
66:8 Oh, believers, turn to Allah in true penitence. Maybe your Lord will cancel your evil
deeds and will bring you into the Gardens beneath which the rivers flow on the day when
Allah will not humiliate the Messenger or those who have shared his faith. Their light will
175
run before them and on their right hands. They will say, “Lord perfect our light, and pardon
us. You have power over all things.”
66:9 Oh, Messenger, make war on the unbelievers and hypocrites, and be hard on them. Hell
will be their home, and wretched is the passage to it.
66:10 Allah sets forth as an example to unbelievers the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot.
They were under two of Our righteous servants yet they both deceived them, so their
husbands did not help them at all against Allah. It was said to them, “Enter into the Fire with
those who enter.”
66:11 Allah also holds forth to those who believe the example of the wife of Pharaoh. She
said, “Lord, build me a house with you in Paradise and deliver me from Pharaoh and his
doings and deliver me from the wicked.”
66:12 Mary, the daughter of Imran who guarded her chastity and into whose womb We
breathed of Our spirit, accepted the words of her Lord and of His revelations. She was one
of the obedient.
49:13 Oh, men, We have created you of a male and a female, and We have divided you into
nations and tribes that you might have knowledge one of another. Truly, the most honorable
of you in the sight of Allah is he who is the most careful of his duty. Allah is knowing and
wise.
49:14 The Arabs of the desert say, “We believe.” [A tribe of desert Arabs came to Medina
during a famine. They converted to Islam and received charity.] Say: You do not believe,
but you only say, ‘We profess Islam,’ for the faith has not yet found its way into your
hearts. If you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not withhold any of the rewards of
your actions. Allah is indulgent and merciful. The true believers are only those who
believe in Allah and His Messenger without doubts and who strive with their lives and
their wealth on Allah’s cause [jihad]. These are the sincere.
49:16 Say: Will you teach Allah about your religion when He knows all that is in the
heavens and on the earth? Yes, Allah has knowledge of all things.
49:17 They think they did you [Mohammed] a favor when they [the desert Arabs] submitted
to Islam. Say: Do not talk to me about having embraced Islam. Allah does a favor for you
when He guides you to the faith if you are truthful. Allah knows the secrets of the heavens
and of the earth, and Allah sees what you do.
48:17 It will be no crime on the part of the blind, the lame, or the sick if they do not go to
the fight [participate in jihad], but whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will bring
him into the Gardens beneath which the rivers flow, but whoever turns back, He will
punish him with a sore punishment.
176
48:18 Allah was well pleased when the believers swore loyalty to you under the tree. He
knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down tranquility on them and rewarded them
with a speedy victory and with the rich spoils of war they took, for Allah is mighty and wise.
48:20 Allah promised that you will capture rich spoils of war [this refers to the destruction
of the Jews of Khaybar, who were made dhimmis who paid special taxes, jizya, and lacked
civil liberties], and He withheld men’s hands from you that it may be a sign to the faithful
and that He might guide you along the right way. There are other spoils of war, over which
you have not yet had power, but Allah has encompassed them for you, for Allah is potent
over all things.
48:22 If the unbelievers fight against you, they will surely turn their backs. They will find
neither protector nor helper. Such has been Allah’s method before. You will not find a
change in Allah’s course. It was He who held their hands from you and your hands from
them in the valley of Mecca [Mohammed signed the treaty of Hudaybiya with the Meccans
that recognized him as a powerful, political leader]. After that He gave you the victory over
them, for Allah saw what you did.
48:25 These [the Meccans] are the ones who disbelieved and kept you away from the Sacred
Mosque [the Kabah] and prevented the offering from reaching the place of sacrifice [the
Meccans would not let Mohammed enter Mecca and make ritual sacrifices]. The believers
might have been injured by accident [Mohammed could not attack the Meccans since there
were both unbelievers and believers among them]. Allah will give mercy to whom he
pleases or an attack would have been ordered. Had the believers not been among with the
unbelievers, We would have surely punished the unbelievers with a sore punishment.
48:26 When the unbelievers had fostered rage in their hearts—the rage of ignorance—Allah
sent down His peace on His Messenger and on the faithful. He made them stay close to the
command of self-restraint [not to kill the unbelievers] for they were most worthy and
deserving of it, and Allah knows all things.
48:27 Allah truly fulfilled the vision for His Messenger when He said, “You will surely
enter the Sacred Mosque [the Kabah], if Allah pleases, in full security having your faces
shaved and your hair cut. You will not fear for He knows what you do not know, and He has
granted, beside this, a speedy victory.” He has sent His Messenger with guidance and the
religion of truth that He may proclaim it over every religion. Allah’s testimony is enough for
you.
48:28 Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah, and his comrades are strong against the
unbelievers, but compassionate among themselves. You will see them bowing down,
prostrating themselves, and imploring favors from Allah and His acceptance. The marks are
on their faces from the traces of their prostrations [dust would be on the foreheads from
bowing down to the earth]. This is their picture in the Torah and their picture in the Gospel.
They are like the seed that puts forth its stalk. It strengthens, grows stout, and rises upon its
177
stem rejoicing the husbandman. The unbelievers become enraged at them. To those who
believe and do good work, Allah has promised forgiveness and a great reward.
9:122 The faithful should not all go out together to fight. If a part of every troop remained
behind, they could instruct themselves in their religion and warn their people when they
return to them that they should guard against evil.
9:123 Believers, fight the unbelievers who are near you, and let them find you to be tough
and hard. Know that Allah is with those who guard against evil.
9:17 It is not for the unbelievers to visit or maintain the mosques of Allah while they witness
against their own souls to disbelief. Their work bears no fruit; they will abide in the Fire
forever. Only he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should visit the temples of Allah,
observe regular prayer, and practice regular charity, and fear only Allah. These will be
among the rightly guided.
9:28 Oh, believers, only the unbelievers are unclean. Do not let them come near the Sacred
Temple after this year of theirs. If you fear poverty from the loss of their business [breaking
commercial ties with the Meccans], Allah will enrich you from His abundance if He pleases.
Allah is knowing and wise.
9:38 Oh, believers, what possessed you that when it was said, “March forth in Allah’s cause
[jihad],” you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the next?
Little is the comfort of this life compared to the one that is to come. Unless you march forth,
He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and He will put another in your place. You will
not harm Him at all, for Allah has power over everything.
9:40 If you do not assist your Messenger, it is no matter for Allah assisted him when the
unbelievers drove him out, he [Mohammed] being only one of two men. When the two
[Mohammed and Abu Bakr] were in the cave, the Messenger said to his companion, “Do not
be distressed, for Allah is with us.” Allah sent His tranquility upon him, and strengthened
him with hosts you did not see. He humbled the word of those who disbelieved and exalted
the word of Allah, for Allah is mighty and wise. March forth both the lightly and heavily
armed, and strive hard in Allah’s cause [jihad] with your substance and your persons. This is
better for you if you know it.
9:42 Had there been a near advantage and a short journey [Mohammed marched to Tabuk
against the Greeks. It was a long, hot campaign], they would certainly have followed you,
but the journey was too long for them. Yet they will swear by Allah saying, “If we only
178
could have, we would surely have gone forth with you.” They would destroy their own
souls. Allah knows that they are surely lying.
9:43 Allah forgive you, Mohammed. Why did you give them permission to stay behind
before you knew those who told the truth from those who lied? Those who believe in Allah
and in the Last Day do not ask for exemption from fighting with their wealth and their lives.
Allah knows those who fear Him.
9:73 Oh, Prophet, strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be firm with
them. Hell will be their dwelling place: A wretched journey.
9:84 Never pray over nor stand over the grave of anyone of them who dies because they did
not believe in Allah and His Messenger and died in their wickedness.
9:29 Make war on those who have received the Scriptures [Jews and Christians] but do not
believe in Allah or in the Last Day. They do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have
forbidden. The Christians and Jews do not follow the religion of truth until they submit and
pay the poll tax [jizya], and they are humiliated.
9:30 The Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allah,” [this tradition is unknown in the Old
Testament] and the Christians say, “The Messiah is a son of Allah.” Such are the sayings in
their mouths, but they resemble the saying of the unbelievers of old. Allah destroy them.
How they are deluded from the truth.
9:31 They take their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah, son of Mary, for Lords besides
Allah [Both Jews and Christians of that area used the term “rabbi” for their religious leaders.
Islam only applied rabbi to Allah], though they were bidden to worship one Allah only.
There is no god but Allah. He is far from having the partners they associate with Him.
9:32 They desire to put out Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah only desires to perfect
His light, though the unbelievers detest it. He sent His Messenger with the guidance and a
religion of the truth that He may make it victorious over every other religion, though the
unbelievers will detest it.
9:34 Oh, Believers of truth, many of the rabbis and monks devour the substance of man and
hinder them from the way of Allah. To those who store up gold and silver and do not spend
it on Allah’s cause [jihad], give tidings of grievous torment. On that day their treasures will
be heated in Hellfire and their foreheads, their sides, and their backs will be branded with
them, “This is the treasure you have buried for yourselves. Now, taste your riches.”
5:14 We made a covenant with those who say, “We are Christians,” but they, too, have
forgotten a part of what they were taught [Islam claims that the Christians suppressed the
179
180
prophecies of Jesus that Mohammed would be the final prophet] so We have stirred up
animosity and hatred among them that will last until Resurrection Day. In the end, Allah will
tell them what they have done.
5:15 Oh, people of the Scriptures, Our Messenger has come to you to clear up what you
have hidden of those Scriptures and to pass over many things that are now unnecessary.
Now you have a new light and a clear Book from Allah. He will use it to guide whoever
seeks to follow His good pleasure to paths of peace. He will bring them out of the darkness
to the light, and, by his decree, will guide them to the straight path.
5:17 Surely they are unbelievers who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary.” Say: Who
has any power against Allah if He chose to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, his mother,
and all who are on the earth together? Allah’s is the sovereignty of the heavens and of the
earth and of all that is between them. He creates what He will, and Allah has power over
all things.
5:72 The unbelievers say, “Jesus is the Messiah, Son of Mary,” for the Messiah said, “Oh,
Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever will join other gods
with Allah, He will forbid him in the Garden, and his abode will be the Fire. The wicked
will have no helpers. They surely blaspheme who say, “Allah is the third of three [the
Trinity],” for there is no god except one Allah, and if they do not refrain from what they
say, a grievous penalty will fall on those who disbelieve. Will they not turn to Allah and
ask His forgiveness? For Allah is forgiving and merciful.
5:75 The Messiah, Son of Mary, is but a messenger. Other messengers have passed away
before him, and his mother was a saintly woman; they both ate food. See how Allah makes
His signs clear to them; then see how they turn from the truth. Say: Will you worship, beside
Allah, that which can neither hurt nor help you? Allah hears and knows all things.
