3:7 It is He who has revealed the Scriptures to you. Some of its verses are clear and basic in
their meaning. These are the foundation of the Book, and others are metaphorical. Those
whose hearts have a tendency to err follow the metaphorical verses seeking to cause
arguments when they attempt to interpret them. Only Allah knows their meaning. And those
who are firmly grounded in knowledge say, “We believe in it. All of it comes from our
Lord,” but only those who possess understanding will listen. Our Lord! Do not let our hearts
go astray after You have guided us to what is right, and grant us Your mercy for You are the
most generous giver. Lord! Surely You will gather all of mankind together on the assured
day. Allah will not fail to keep His promise. As for the unbelievers, neither their wealth or
their children keep Allah’s wrath from them, and they will be fuel for the Fire like Pharaoh’s
people and those who came before them who rejected Our revelations. Allah destroyed them
for their sins. Allah is cruel in his retribution.
60:8 Allah does not forbid you to deal with kindness and fairness towards those who have
not made war upon you on account of your religion, or who have driven you forth from your
homes. Allah loves those who act with fairness. Allah only forbids you to make friends of
those who, on account of your religion, have warred against you, have driven you out of
your homes, and have helped those who drove you out. Whoever makes friends of them are
unjust.
2:263 Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity coupled with an insult. Allah is
self-sufficient and gracious.
2:264 Believers! Do not taint your charity by reminding others of your generosity or by
taunting them, like those who spend their wealth to show off and do not believe in Allah or
the Last Day. Such people are like rocks barely covered with soil: when the rain falls they
are left bare. No good will come of their deeds. Allah does not guide those who disbelieve.
Those who give away their wealth with the aim to please Allah are like a garden on a
hillside where the rain is plentiful and the yield is doubled, and if there is no rain, then the
dew is sufficient. Allah sees all you do.
2:266 Would any of you like to have his garden of palms and vines, watered by flowing
rivers, to be destroyed by a fiery wind when he is in his old age with dependant children? It
is in this way that Allah makes His revelations known to you so that you will reflect.
2:267 Believers! To charity give of your wealth [pay the poor tax], which you have earned
lawfully, and from that which We have given you from the earth. Do not give worthless
things that you yourself would not even want. Know that Allah is self-sufficient, and worthy
of praise.
2:268 Satan threatens to take away all that you have earned and commands you to perform
vulgar acts, but Allah promises you His forgiveness and riches. Allah is generous and all-
knowing. He gives wisdom to whom He pleases, and one who receives the gift of wisdom is

truly rich; nevertheless, only those who understand keep this in mind. Whatever you give to
charity or whatever oath you make, it is known to Allah. The evil-doers have no one to help
them. It is good to do charitable works publicly, but it is better to give to charity in private,
and it will do away with some of your sins. Allah knows what you do.
2:272 It is not your job to set them on the right path, but Allah will guide whom He pleases.
Whatever good you do will come back to you, given that you only give to please Allah. All
the good you do will come back to you in full; you will not be wronged.
2:274 Those who give to charity both day and night, and in secret and in public, will be
rewarded by their Lord. They will not have anything to fear or regret.
2:275 Those who live on lending others money at a high rate of interest will rise before
Allah like one whom Satan has touched and made mad because they claim that their
practices are no different from trading. Allah allows trading, but has forbidden usury
[excessive interest on a loan]. One who is admonished by his Lord and changes his ways
can keep what he has earned. His case is for Allah to judge. But those who go back to their
old ways will be prisoners of the Fire, where they will live forever.
8:22 The vilest creatures in Allah’s sight are the ones who are deaf, dumb, and without
sense. If Allah had recognized any potential in them, He would have given them the ability
to hear. Even if He makes them hear, they would still turn their backs and deny the faith.
Believers! Answer the call of Allah and His messenger which gives you life. Know that
Allah comes between a person and his own heart and that you all will be gathered to Him.
Protect yourselves from sinning because it will not only be the unbelievers who will face
temptation. Allah is severe in His punishment.
8:27 Believers! Do not betray the trust of Allah and His messenger or knowingly betray His
secrets. And know that your children and your wealth are merely temptations and that
Allah’s reward is immense. Believers! If you fear Allah, He will give you wisdom to discern
right from wrong, He will cleanse you of evil and forgive your sins. Allah is the Lord of
boundless grace.
60:2 If they have the upper hand of you, they will prove your enemies. They will stretch out
their hands and tongues to hurt you and will desire that you reject the truth. Neither your
kindred nor your children will be of profit to you on the Last Day. He will sever the
connections between you. Allah sees your actions.
60:4 There is a good example in Abraham of those who followed him when they said to
their people, “We are clear of you and of what you worship besides Allah. We renounce
you, and between us a hatred and hostility has sprung up forever until you believe in Allah
alone.” Do not imitate the language of Abraham to his father, “I will pray for your
forgiveness, but I will obtain nothing for you from Allah.” Oh, our Lord, in You we trust, to
You we repent, and to You we will return at last.
