Student GuideVERSES FROM THE QUR'AN - 2
"Remember Allah always, so that you may
prosper..."
Friday
"Believers, when you are summoned to Friday prayers, hasten to the
remembrance of Allah and cease your trading. That would be best for
you, if you but knew it. Then when the prayers are ended, disperse,
and go in quest of Allah's bounty. Remember Allah always, so that you
may prosper... Say: That which Allah has in store is far better than
any merchandise or merriment. Allah is the Most Munificent Giver."
Counsel
"...Let evil be rewarded with like evil. But he that forgives and
seeks reconcilement shall be rewarded by Allah. He does not love the
wrongdoers. Those who avenge themselves when wronged incur no guilt.
But great is the guilt of those who oppress their fellowmen and
conduct themselves and wickedness and injustice. These shall be
sternly punished."
Repentance
"Believers, why is it that when it is said to you: 'March in the cause
of Allah,' you linger slothfully in the land? Are you content with
this life in preference to the life to come? Few indeed are the
blessings of this life, compared to those of the life to come. If you
do not fight, He will punish you sternly and replace you with other
men. You will in no way harm Him, for Allah has power over all
things."
The Cow
"Righteousness does not consist in whether you face towards the east
or the west. The righteous man is he who believes in Allah and the
Last Day, in the angels and the Scriptures and the prophets; who for
the love of Allah gives his wealth to his kinfolk, to the orphans, to
the needy, to the wayfarers and to the beggars, and for the redemption
of captives; who attends to his prayers and pays the alms-tax; who is
true to his promises and steadfast in trial and adversity and in times
of war. Such are the true believers; such are the God-fearing."
