The
Book of Creation
The Pen - The signs of God
2.1
Alif Lam Mim
2.2
That is the Book, wherein is no doubt,
a guidance to the godfearing
2.3
who believe in the Unseen, and perform the prayer,
and expend of that We have provided them;
2.4
who believe in what has been sent down to thee
and what has been sent down before thee,
and have faith in the Hereafter;
2.5
those are upon guidance from their Lord,
those are the ones who prosper.
6.38
No creature is there crawling on the earth,
no bird flying with its wings,
but they are nations like unto yourselves.
We have neglected nothing in the Book;
then to their Lord they shall be mustered.
6.59
With Him are the keys of the Unseen;
none knows them but He.
He knows what is in land and sea;
not a leaf falls, but He knows it.
Not a grain in the earth's shadows,
not a thing, fresh or withered,
but it is in a Book Manifest.
6.60
It is He who recalls you by night,
and He knows what you work by day:
then He raises you up therein, that
a stated term may be determined;
then unto Him shall you return,
then He will tell you of what
you have been doing.
6.61
He is the Omnipotent over His servants.
He sends recorders over you till,
when any one of you is visited
by death, Our messengers take him
and they neglect not.
6.62
Then they are restored to God
their Protector, the True. Surely
His is the judgement; He is the swiftest
of reckoners.
10.61
Thou art not upon any occupation,
neither recitest thou any Koran of it,
nor do you any work, without that We are
witnesses over you when you press on it;
and not so much as the weight of an ant in
earth or heaven escapes from thy Lord, neither
is aught smaller than that, or greater, but
in a Manifest Book.
11.6
No creature is there crawling on the
earth, but its provision rests on God;
He knows its lodging-place
and its repository. All
is in a Manifest Book.
11.7
And it is He who created
the heavens and the earth in six days,
and His Throne was upon the waters -
that He might try you, which one of
you is fairer in works.
22.70
Didst thou not know that God knows all
that is in heaven and earth? Surely that
is in a Book; surely that for God is
an easy matter.
35.11
God created you of dust
then of a sperm drop,
then He made you pairs.
No female bears or brings forth, save with His
knowledge;
and none is given long life who is given long life
neither is any diminished in his life, but it is in a
Book.
Surely that is easy for God.
27.73
Surely thy Lord is bountiful to men; but most of them
are not thankful.
27.74
Surely thy Lord knows what their hearts conceal, and
what they publish
27.75
And not a thing is
there hidden in heaven and earth
but it is in a Manifest Book.
57.22
No affliction befalls in the earth
or in yourselves, but it is in a
Book, before We create it; that is
easy for God;
57.23
that you may not grieve for what
escapes you, nor rejoice in what has
come to you; God loves not any man
proud and boastful,
57.24
such as are niggardly, and bid men
to be niggardly. And whosoever
turns away, God is the All-sufficient,
the All-laudable.
Nations
Books
45.27
To God belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the
earth.
And on the day when the Hour is come,
upon that day the vain-doers shall lose.
45.28
And thou shalt see every nation hobbling on their
knees,
every natin being summoned unto its Book: "Today
you shall be recompensed for that you were doing.
45.29
This is Our Book, that speaks against you the truth;
We have been registering all that you were doing."
Personal
Books
17.13
And every man - We have fastened to him
his bird of omen upon his neck; and We
shall bring forth for him, on the Day
of Resurrection, a book he shall find
spread wide open.
17.14
"Read thy book! Thy soul suffices thee
this day as a reckoner against thee."
17.15
Whosoever is guided, is only guided
to his own gain, and whosoever goes
astray, it is only to his own loss;
no soul laden bears the load of another.
We never chastise, until We send forth
a Messenger.
17.71
On the day when We shall call all men
with their record, and whoso is given his
book in his right hand - those shall read
their book, and they shall not be wronged
a single date-thread.
18.46
Wealth and sons are the adornment of the present world;
but the abiding things, the deeds of righteousness,
are better with God in reward, and better in hope.
18.47
And on the day We shall set the mountains in motion,
so that We leave not so much as one of them behind;
18.48
"You have come to Us, as We created you upon the
first time;
nay, you asserted We should not appoint for you a
tryst."
18.49
And the Book shall be set in place; and thou wilt see
the sinners fearful at what is in it, and saying,
"Alas for us! How is it with this Book, that it
leaves
nothing behind, small or great, but it has numbered
it?"
And they shall find all they wrought present, and thy
Lord
shall not wrong anyone.
23.62
We charge not any soul save to its capacity,
and with Us is a Book speaking truth, and
they shall not be wronged.
Revealed
Books
Unity not Adversity
2.113
The Jews say, "The Christians stand not on
anything";
the Christians say, "The Jews stand not on
anything";
yet they recite the Book. So too the ignorant
say the like of them. God shall decide between them
on the Day of Resurrection touching their differences.
2.114
And who does greater evil than he who bars
God's places of worship, so that His Name
be not rehearsed in them, and strives to destroy them?
3.79
It belongs not to any mortal that God should
give him the Book, the Judgement, the Prophethood,
then he should say to men, "Be you servants to me
apart from God." Rather, "Be you masters in
that you know the Book, and in that you study."
29.46
Dispute not with the People of the Book
save in the fairer manner, except for
those of them that do wrong; and say,
"We believe in what has been sent down
to us, and what has been sent down to you;
our God and your God is One, and to Him
we have surrendered."
4.54
Or are they jealous of the people
for the bounty that God has given them?
Yet We gave the people of Abraham
the Book and the Wisdom, and We gave them
a mighty kingdom.
6.154
Then We gave Moses the Book, complete
for him who does good, and distinguishing
every thing, and as a guidance and a mercy;
haply they would believe in the encounter
with their Lord.
5.51
And We have sent down to thee the Book
with the truth, confirming the Book
that was before it, and assuring it.
So judge between them according to what
God has sent down, and do not follow
their caprices, to forsake the truth
that has come to thee. To every one
of you We have appointed a right way
and an open road.
If God had willed, He would have made you
one nation; but that He may try you
in what has come to you. So be you forward
in good works; unto God shall you
return, all together; and He will tell you
of that whereon you were at variance.
Qur'an
Iqra
7.52
And We have brought to them a Book
that We have well distinguished,
resting on knowledge, a guidance
and a mercy unto a people
that believe.
7.53
Do they look for aught else but its
interpretation?
The day its interpretation comes,
those who before forgot it shall say,
"Indeed, our Lord's Messengers came
with the truth.
12.1
Alif Lam Ra
Those are the signs of the Manifest Book.
12.2
We have sent it down as an Arabic Koran;
haply you will understand.
10.37
This Koran could not have been forged
apart from God; but it is a confirmation
of what is before it, and a distinguishing
of the Book, wherein is no doubt, from
the Lord of all Being.
10.38
Or do they say, "Why, he has forged it"?
Say: "Then produce a sura like it, and
call on whom you can, apart from God,
if you speak truly."
56.75
No! I swear by the fallings of the stars
56.76
(and that is indeed a mighty oath, did
you but know it)
56.77
it is surely a noble Koran
56.78
in a hidden Book
56.79
none but the purified shall touch,
56.80
a sending down from the Lord of all Being.
The
Essence of the Book
3.7
It is He who sent down upon thee the Book,
wherein are verses clear that are the Essence
of the Book, and others ambiguous.
As for those in whose hearts is swerving,
they follow the ambiguous part, desiring
dissension, and desiring its interpretation;
and none knows its interpretation, save
only God. And those firmly rooted in
knowledge say, "We believe in it; all
is from our Lord"; yet none remembers, but men
possessed of minds.
43.1
Ha Mim
43.2
By the Clear Book,
43.3
behold, We have made it an Arabic Koran;
haply you will understand;
43.4
and behold, it is in the Essence of the Book, with Us;
sublime indeed, wise.
13.38
And We sent Messengers before thee, and We
assigned to them wives, and seed; and it was
not for any Messengers to bring a sign, but
by God's leave. Every term has a Book.
13.39
God blots out, and He establishes
whatsoever He will; and with Him is the
Essence of the Book.
