3:92 You will not be truly righteous until you have given what you truly love to charity; for
whatever you give, it is known to Allah.
4:105 Truly, We have sent the Scriptures down to you with the truth so that you might judge
between people according to what Allah has taught you. Do not side with the traitors, and
ask Allah’s forgiveness. Allah is always forgiving and merciful. Neither should you take the
side of those who deceive their own souls. Allah does not love the deceitful and sinful.
4:108 They try to hide themselves from people, but they cannot hide themselves from Allah.
He is with them at night when their words displease Him, and Allah knows all that they do.
Yes, you may plead in their favor in this world, but who will plead in their favor with Allah
on
the Day of Resurrection, or who will defend them?
4:110 Those who do evil or those who have betrayed their own souls and then ask Allah’s
forgiveness will find Allah forgiving and merciful. Anyone who commits a sin, sins against
his own soul. Allah is all-knowing and wise!
4:112 Anyone who commits an offense or a crime and blames an innocent person, will bear
the guilt of defamation and blatant sin.
4:113 If it had not been for Allah’s grace and mercy, a group of them [hypocrites] would
have certainly plotted to mislead you. They have only succeeded in leading themselves
astray, and they cannot harm you. Allah has sent His Scripture and wisdom to you and has
taught you things you did not know before. Allah’s grace toward you has been great. There
is nothing good in most of their secret conversations except that which commands charity,
goodness, and peace among the people. Whoever does this to please Allah, We will give
them a rich reward.
4:115 Anyone who opposes the Messenger after having received
Our guidance and follows a
path other than that of the true believer will be left to their own devices. We will lead them
into Hell, an evil home.
4:140 He has already sent down to you in the Book that when you hear Allah’s revelations
rejected and mocked by unbelievers you should not sit and listen to them until they talk
about something else, for if you stayed you would become like them. Truly Allah will gather
all the hypocrites and unbelievers together in Hell. These are the ones who watch you
closely, and if you are successful they say, “Did not we stand with you?” And if the
unbelievers are successful they say, “Did we not gain power over you, and did we not
defend you from the believers?” Allah will judge between the two of you on the Day of
Resurrection, and Allah will not allow the unbelievers to be victorious over the believers.
4:142 The hypocrites wish to deceive Allah, but He will deceive them. When they stand for
prayer, they rise slowly so as to be seen by others, and they hardly remember Allah. They go
back and forth being neither a part of one group or the other. You will not be able to guide
anyone Allah leads astray.

4:145 The hypocrites will be thrown into the lowest abyss of the Fire, and there will be no
one to help them. Except for those who ask for forgiveness and change their ways, who hold
tightly to Allah and are sincere in their dedication to Allah, they will be counted with the
believers, and Allah will give the believers a great reward. Why should Allah inflict
punishment on you if you are grateful and believe? Allah will reward you for your works,
for He knows all things.
4:148 Allah does not love harsh words to be spoken in public, unless by someone who has
been wronged. Allah is all-hearing and all-knowing. Whether you do good in public or in
private,
whether you pardon a wrong, truly Allah is forgiving and all-powerful!
59:11 Have you not noticed the hypocrites? They say to fellow unbelievers among the
People of the Book [Jews] “If you are driven out, we will surely go with you. And we will
never follow the orders of anyone who is against you. If you are attacked, we will certainly
come to your aid.” But Allah witnesses that they are truly liars. No! If the People of the
Book were driven out, the hypocrites would not go with them. If they [Jews] were attacked,
they would not come to their aid, or if they did come, they would surely flee and they would
not be helped. They are so devoid of understanding that they fear you more than they fear
Allah!
59:14 They will not fight you in a group unless they are fortified in their cities and behind
walls. The disputes among them are many. You think of them as a unified group, but their
hearts are divided. They are a people devoid of understanding. They act like those who
preceded them, who also tasted the consequences of their own actions. A painful punishment
awaits them.
59:16 The hypocrites are like Satan when he says to someone, “Be an unbeliever.” And
when he has become an unbeliever he says, “I do not share in your guilt. Truly, I fear Allah,
the Lord of the worlds.” Therefore, the end of both will be in the Fire, where they will live
forever. That is the reward for the evil-doers.
59:18 Believers! Fear Allah, and let every soul be careful of what it sends on to tomorrow.
Fear Allah, for Allah knows all that you do. Do not be like those who have forgotten Allah,
and Allah has caused them to forget their own souls. Such people are evil-doers. The
prisoners of the Fire and the heirs of the Garden are not equals; the heirs of the Garden will
be alone in their victory.
58:8 Have you not noticed those who, although they have been forbidden to talk in secret,
talk privately together, plotting wickedness, hostility, and insubordination towards the
Messenger? And when they see you, they greet you not as Allah greets you [Instead of
“Peace be upon you” the unbelievers said, “A plague be upon you.” This is a pun, since the
two phrases sound almost identical in Arabic], and they say among themselves, “Why
