At Tahrim 8


O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance:
In the hope that your Lord will remove from you your sins
and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow,
on a Day that Allah will not disgrace
the Prophet and those who believe with him.
Their light will run forward before them and by their right hands,
while they say,” Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and grant us Forgiveness:
For You have power over all things.”

Ad Dukhan 40-42


Verily, the Day of sorting out is the appointed time for all of them.
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught,
and no help can they receive.
Except such as receive Allah’s Mercy, He is All-Mighty, Most Merciful.

Al Fatihah (The Opening) 1-7


In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah,
the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Master of the Day of Judgement.
You Alone we do worship,
and You Alone we seek for help.
Guide us to the straight path.
The Path of those whom You have favoured,
not the path of those who have earned Your Wrath,
nor those who have gone astray.


Al Furqaan (The Criterion) 25-29


The Day the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds,
and Angels shall be sent down, descending in ranks,
The true Dominion, on that Day, belongs only to
the Most Gracious,
it will be a Day of dire difficulty for the Unbelievers
On that Day, the Wrongdoer will bite at his hands,
he will say (in despair)exclaiming,
”Would I had followed the Path shown to me
by the Messenger!
“Ah! Woe to me! Would I had not taken
so and so for a friend!
“He did lead me astray from the Messenger of Allah
after it had come to me! The Satan is but a traitor to man!

Al Baqarah (The cow) 1-5

Alif-laam-miim
This is the Book; whereof there is no doubt, a guidance for
the Righteous who fear Allah
Who believe in the Unseen, and perform prayers, and spend out what We have
provided for them
And who believe in the Revelation sent to you, and sent before your time,
and in their hearts have the assurance of the Hereafter
They are on true guidance, from their Lord, and it is those who will prosper.


Ibrahim (Abraham) 32

It is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down rain from the sky, and thereby brings forth all kinds of fruits for your substance; it is He who has made the ships subservient to you, that they may sail through the sea by His Command; and also He has made the rivers subservient to you.

Al A'raaf (The Heights) 194-195


Verily, those whom you call upon besides Allah are servants like you, call upon them, and let them listen to your prayer, if you indeed truthful!
Have they feet to walk with? Or hands to lay hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or ears to hear with? Say, “Call your partners that you associate with Allah, and plot against me, and give me no respite!”
