وَمَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦٓ إِذۡ قَالُواْ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ بَشَرٖ مِّن شَيۡءٖۗ قُلۡ مَنۡ أَنزَلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِي جَآءَ بِهِۦ مُوسَىٰ نُورٗا وَهُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِۖ تَجۡعَلُونَهُۥ قَرَاطِيسَ تُبۡدُونَهَا وَتُخۡفُونَ كَثِيرٗاۖ وَعُلِّمۡتُم مَّا لَمۡ تَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنتُمۡ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُكُمۡۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ ثُمَّ ذَرۡهُمۡ فِي خَوۡضِهِمۡ يَلۡعَبُونَ

91. They claimed, "Allah has not revealed anything to any human." Say (to the Jews): "Who sent down the Book which Musa brought, a light and guidance for the people [186]? You have made it into separate sheets, showing some and concealing much [187]. You were taught what you did not know, nor did your fathers [189]." Say: "Allah [190]." Then leave them to play in their falsehood [191].

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 91

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُۖ فَبِهُدَىٰهُمُ ٱقۡتَدِهۡۗ قُل لَّآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرًاۖ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 90

88. This is the guidance of Allah. He grants guidance to whomever He wills [175] from among His servants. But if they had associated others with Him in worship, surely all their deeds would have been rendered worthless [176].

وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطٗاۚ وَكُلّٗا فَضَّلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

فَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلۡقَمَرَ بَازِغٗا قَالَ هَٰذَا رَبِّيۖ فَلَمَّآ أَفَلَ قَالَ لَئِن لَّمۡ يَهۡدِنِي رَبِّي لَأَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

77. Then when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my Lord" But when it set, he said, "If my Lord does not guide me, I will surely be among the misguided people[155]."

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 77

قُلۡ أَنَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُنَا وَلَا يَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَابِنَا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ كَٱلَّذِي ٱسۡتَهۡوَتۡهُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ حَيۡرَانَ لَهُۥٓ أَصۡحَٰبٞ يَدۡعُونَهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱلۡهُدَى ٱئۡتِنَاۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰۖ وَأُمِرۡنَا لِنُسۡلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

71. Say, "Shall we worship besides Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us? And shall we turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us? [143] It is like one whom the devils have seduced in the earth, confused, while his companions are calling him towards guidance. [144] Say, 'The guidance of Allah is the only guidance, and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all the worlds.'"

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 71

قُلۡ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنۡ أَعۡبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ قُل لَّآ أَتَّبِعُ أَهۡوَآءَكُمۡ قَدۡ ضَلَلۡتُ إِذٗا وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ

56. Please declare (O Beloved Prophet): "I have been forbidden [113] to worship those whom you call upon besides Allah." Please declare: "I will not follow your vain desires [114]. If I did, I would go astray and would not be among the guided ones."

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 56

وَإِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيۡكَ إِعۡرَاضُهُمۡ فَإِنِ ٱسۡتَطَعۡتَ أَن تَبۡتَغِيَ نَفَقٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَوۡ سُلَّمٗا فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَأۡتِيَهُم بِـَٔايَةٖۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰۚ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِينَ

35. And if their turning away is hard on you [68], then if you are able to seek a tunnel in the earth or a ladder to the sky, and bring them a sign, [69] (then do so). And if Allah had willed, He would have gathered them all upon guidance [70]. So, never be among the ignorant ones [71].

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 35

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ قَالُواْ حَسۡبُنَا مَا وَجَدۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ ءَابَآءَنَآۚ أَوَلَوۡ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَهۡتَدُونَ

104. And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger" [278], they say, "Sufficient for us is what we found our forefathers upon." What! Even if their forefathers knew nothing and were not guided [279]?

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 104

وَقَفَّيۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم بِعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدٗى وَنُورٞ وَمُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَهُدٗى وَمَوۡعِظَةٗ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

46. And We brought Isa, son of Mariam [149], to follow their footsteps, confirming what is in the Tauraat revealed before [150] him. And We gave him the Injeel wherein there is guidance and light, and confirms the Tauraat that had come before it. It is a guidance and an advice for the righteous.

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 46

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ فِيهَا هُدٗى وَنُورٞۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلرَّبَّـٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ بِمَا ٱسۡتُحۡفِظُواْ مِن كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُواْ عَلَيۡهِ شُهَدَآءَۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُاْ ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِ وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِي ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

44. Indeed, We have sent down the Tauraat in which was guidance and light. According to it, the Yahud were instructed by Our obedient Prophets [139], and men of learning and jurists. It was desired from them to preserve [140] the Book of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So, do not fear people, but fear Me (Allah) and never accept a mean price [141] for Our Verses. And whoso does not judge by what Allah has sent down [142], then it is those who are the infidels.

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 44

يَهۡدِي بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذۡنِهِۦ وَيَهۡدِيهِمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

16. Allah guides therewith [70], him who pursues His pleasures into the ways of peace, and brings them to light from the darkness [71], by His Command and shows the right path [72].

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 16

إِنَّمَا يَعۡمُرُ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَلَمۡ يَخۡشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ فَعَسَىٰٓ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَن يَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ,

18. Only they shall inhabit [39] the mosques of Allah, who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and who establish prayer and pay the poor-due and fear none but Allah. So these are the people who are among the guided ones [40].

Surah Name : At-Tawbah   Surah Number : 9   Ayat Number: 18

قُلۡ إِن كَانَ ءَابَآؤُكُمۡ وَأَبۡنَآؤُكُمۡ وَإِخۡوَٰنُكُمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجُكُمۡ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمۡ وَأَمۡوَٰلٌ ٱقۡتَرَفۡتُمُوهَا وَتِجَٰرَةٞ تَخۡشَوۡنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَٰكِنُ تَرۡضَوۡنَهَآ أَحَبَّ إِلَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَجِهَادٖ فِي سَبِيلِهِۦ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ,

24. Please declare: "If your fathers and your sons and your brothers and your wives [50], and your clan [51], and the wealth of your earnings [52], and the trade of which you fear loss, and the houses of your choice, are things [53] dearer [54] to you than Allah and His Messenger, and the striving in His Path, then wait till Allah sends His Command. And Allah guides not the disobedient."

Surah Name : At-Tawbah   Surah Number : 9   Ayat Number: 24

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلۡحَقِّ لِيُظۡهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكُونَ,

33. It is He Who has sent [80], His Messenger [81], with guidance and true religion [82], that He may make it prevail over all religions, although the polytheists may dislike it [83].

Surah Name : At-Tawbah   Surah Number : 9   Ayat Number: 33

إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّسِيٓءُ زِيَادَةٞ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِۖ يُضَلُّ بِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُحِلُّونَهُۥ عَامٗا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُۥ عَامٗا لِّيُوَاطِـُٔواْ عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ فَيُحِلُّواْ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُۚ زُيِّنَ لَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ أَعۡمَٰلِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ,

37. Surely, their postponement of the sacred months is nothing but an increase in disbelief [96], by which those who disbelieve are led astray [97]. They make it lawful one year [98], and forbid it in another [99], to adjust the count of the months that Allah has made sacred [100], thus permitting what Allah has forbidden. Their evil deeds have been made attractive [101] to them. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people [102].

Surah Name : At-Tawbah   Surah Number : 9   Ayat Number: 37

ٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ أَوۡ لَا تَسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ إِن تَسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ سَبۡعِينَ مَرَّةٗ فَلَن يَغۡفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ,

80. Whether you ask [220] for forgiveness for them or not, it is the same. If you ask for forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never [221] forgive them. This is because they have rejected [222] Allah and His Messenger. And Allah guides not the disobedient people [223].
