quran Quotes

«They said: But what shall be the requital of this, if you are liars? / They said: The requital of this is that the person in whose bag it is found shall himself be (held for) the satisfaction thereof; thus do we punish the wrongdoers.»
Author: quran
«And he turned away from them, and said: O my sorrow for Yusuf! and his eyes became white on account of the grief, and he was a repressor (of grief).»

«He sends down water from the cloud, then watercourses flow (with water) according to their measure, and the torrent bears along the swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments or apparatus arises a scum like it; thus does Allah compare truth and falsehood; then as for the scum, it passes away as a worthless thing; and as for that which profits the people, it tarries in the earth; thus does Allah set forth parables.»

«And apostles before you were certainly mocked at, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I destroyed them; how then was My requital (of evil)? / Is He then Who watches every soul as to what it earns? And yet they give associates to Allah! Say: Give them a name; nay, do you mean to inform Him of what He does not know in the earth, or (do you affirm this) by an outward saying? Rather, their plans are made to appear fair-seeming to those who disbelieve, and they are kept back from the path; and whom Allah makes err, he shall have no guide.»
Author: quran
«A likeness of the garden which the righteous are promised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and shades are perpetual; this is the requital of those who guarded (against evil), and the requital of the unbelievers is the fire.»
Author: quran
«And those to whom We have given the Book rejoice in that which has been revealed to you, and of the confederates are some who deny a part of it. Say: I am only commanded that I should serve Allah and not associate anything with Him, to Him do I invite (you) and to Him is my return.»
Author: quran
«Nay; I swear by the moon, / And the night when it departs, / And the daybreak when it shines; / Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes), / A warning to mortals, / To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.»
Author: quran
«Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns, / Except the people of the right hand, / In gardens, they shall ask each other / About the guilty: / What has brought you into hell? / They shall say: We were not of those who prayed; / And we used not to feed the poor; / And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.»
Author: quran
«And we used to call the day of judgment a lie; / Till death overtook us.»
