The Qur'an, 98. al-Bayyinah

98. al-Bayyinah: The Proof

1 Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters could not have left off (erring) till the clear proof came unto them,
2 A messenger from Allah, reading purified pages
3 Containing correct scriptures.
4 Nor were the People of the Scripture divided until after the clear proof came unto them.
5 And they are ordered naught else than to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him, as men by nature upright, and to establish worship and to pay the poor-due. That is true religion.
6 Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.
7 (And) lo! those who believe and do good works are the best of created beings.
8 Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they dwell for ever. Allah hath pleasure in them and they have pleasure in Him. This is (in store) for him who feareth his Lord.

The Qur'an, 97. al-qadr

97. al-qadr: The Majesty

1 Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Predestination.
2 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!
3 The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
4 The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees.
5 (The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.

The Qur'an, 96. al-`Alaq

96. al-`Alaq: The Clot

1 Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,
2 Createth man from a clot.
3 Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,
4 Who teacheth by the pen,
5 Teacheth man that which he knew not.
6 Nay, but verily man is rebellious
7 That he thinketh himself independent!
8 Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.
9 Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth
10 A slave when he prayeth ?
11 Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah)
12 Or enjoineth piety ?
13 Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward ?
14 Is he then unaware that Allah seeth ?
15 Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -
16 The lying, sinful forelock -
17 Then let him call upon his henchmen!
18 We will call the guards of hell.
19 Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).

The Qur'an, 95. at-Tin

95. at-Tin: The Fig

1 By the fig and the olive,
2 By Mount Sinai,
3 And by this land made safe;
4 Surely We created man of the best stature
5 Then we reduced him to the lowest of the low,
6 Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a reward unfailing.
7 So who henceforth will give the lie to thee about the judgment ?
8 Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges ?
