Those [Terrorists] who Took a Mosque for Causing Harm and Disbelief and Division
They are the Corrupters, but they do Not Perceive, for the Devils Avert them from the Way of Guidance while they Think that they are Rightly Guided
2:8 - 10, Qur'an
[For] among the people are some who say, "We believe in God and the Last Day," but they are not believers. They [think to] deceive God and those who believe, but they do not deceive [anyone] except themselves and they do not perceive. Disease is in their hearts, so God has increased their disease; and there is a painful punishment for them because they used to lie -
2:11 - 13, Qur'an
[For] when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are only reformers." Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they do not perceive. And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they do not know.
2:14 - 15, Qur'an
And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe;" but when they are alone with their devils [from mankind or jinn], they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers." [But] God mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly -
43:36 - 37, Qur'an
[For] whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Gracious - We appoint a devil for him, and he is a companion to him. And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided.
2:17 - 18, Qur'an
Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it illuminated what was around him, God took away their light and left them in darkness [so] they could not see. Deaf, dumb and blind - so they will not return [to the right path].
9:108 - 109, Qur'an
[So] do not stand [for prayer] within [their mosque] - ever. A mosque founded on the fear [of God] from the first day is more worthy for you to stand in. Within it are men who love to purify themselves; and God loves those who purify themselves. Then is one who laid the foundation of his building on the fear of God and [seeking] His approval better or one who laid the foundation of his building on the edge of a bank about to collapse, so it collapsed with him into the fire of Hell? And God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
6:55, Qur'an
And thus, We detail the verses, and [so] the way of the criminals will become evident.

[Mecca] is Like the Custom of the People of Pharaoh and those Before them, God Seized Sodom and Gomorrah and the People of Noah
So How Many Cities were Stronger than your City [of Mecca] which Drove you Out, [O Muhammad]? God Destroyed them, Making them an Example to those After who should Live Ungodly
2 Peter 2:5 - 6, Gospel
[For God] did not spare the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those after that should live ungodly -
25:37 - 39, Qur'an
[And] the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them a sign for mankind. And We have prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers. And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them. And We set forth examples [as warnings] for each, and We destroyed each with [total] destruction.
[2 Ezra 2:8 - 9], Torah
"[So] remember what I did to Sodom and Gomorrah; O you wicked people, whose land lies in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes; even so will I also do to those who do not hear Me," the Almighty Lord says.
33:61 - 62, Qur'an
[And thus, the disbelievers of Mecca will also be] accursed wherever they are found, being seized and massacred completely. [For this is the established] way of God with those who passed on before; and you will not find any change in the way of God.
Does it Not Guide them When they See How Many Cities God Destroyed, so they are Now Fallen into Ruin, and they Walk Among their Dwellings?
So Travel Through the Land and Observe How the End was for the Criminals, they were Not Availed at All by their gods When the Command of your Lord Came
27:69, Qur'an
[So] say, "Travel through the land and observe how the end was for the criminals" -
29:38 - 39, Qur'an
[For We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud, and it has become clear to you from their [ruined] dwellings. And Satan had made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from the path, and they were endowed with perception. And [We destroyed] Korah and Pharaoh and Haman. And Moses had already come to them with clear evidences, and they were arrogant in the land, but they were not out-runners [of Our punishment] -
44:25 - 27, Qur'an
[For] how many gardens and springs did they leave behind? And [also] crops and noble sites [of pyramids] and comfort wherein they were amused?
15:76 - 77, Qur'an
[For] indeed, [Sodom is situated] on an established road. Indeed there is a sign in that for the believers -
37:137 - 138, Qur'an
[For] indeed, you pass by them at dawn and at night. Then will you not use reason?
15:78 - 79, Qur'an
And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers. So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [ruins] are on a clear highway.
22:45 - 46, Qur'an
[So] how many cities did We destroy while they were committing wrong - so they are [now] fallen into ruin - and [how many] abandoned wells and [how many] lofty palaces? So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but the hearts are blinded which are within the chests -
We did Not Destroy Any City Except that it had Warners as a Reminder, and Indeed, [Muhammad] is a Warner Like the Former Warners
For We had Certainly Sent Noah to his People, Saying, "I Fear the Punishment for you on a Painful Day"
26:208 - 209, Qur'an
And [so] We did not destroy any city except that it had warners as a reminder and We have never been unjust -
11:25 - 26, Qur'an
[For] We had certainly sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Indeed, I am a clear warner to you, that you do not serve [anything] except God. Indeed, I fear the punishment for you on a painful day."
53:56, Qur'an
[And] this [prophet Muhammad] is a warner like the former warners -
73:15 - 16, Qur'an
[For] We have sent a messenger to you as a witness upon you just as We sent a messenger [Moses] to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.
Jeremiah 44:5 - 6, Torah
But they did not listen, nor incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to not burn incense to other gods. Therefore My fury and My anger were poured forth, and were kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted [and] desolate, as at this day."
35:25 - 26, Qur'an
And [thus] if they deny you - then those before them have already denied. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs and Scriptures and with the enlightening Book. Then I seized the ones who disbelieved, and how [terrible] was My reproach -
38:12 - 14, Qur'an
[For] the people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes, and [the tribe of] Thamud and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket. Those are the companies. Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified.
The Established Way of God for those We had Sent Before you of Our Messengers
You will Not Find Any Alteration in Our Way:
1. God sent a messenger from themselves to warn clearly
2. Those who disbelieved denied and ridiculed their messenger
3. Every nation intended to seize, kill, or evict their messenger
4. The messenger was saved by God, and the criminals were destroyed
40:82 - 85, Qur'an
[Or] have they not traveled through the land and observed how the end was for those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn. And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they merely rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule. And when they saw Our punishment, they said, "We believe in God alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate [with Him]." But their faith never benefited them once they saw Our punishment. [It is the established] way of God which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost.
1. God Sent a Messenger from themselves to State Clearly
7:173 - 174, Qur'an
Or [unless] you should say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others] with God before, and we were only descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?" And thus, We [explain] the verses [in detail], and perhaps they will return.
2. Those who Disbelieved Ridiculed the Messenger
15:10 - 13, Qur'an
We had certainly sent [messengers] before you among the sects of the former [peoples]. [But] no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him. Thus, We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals. They will not believe in it, while the precedent of the former [peoples] has already occurred -
23:30 - 34, Qur'an
[So] indeed, there are signs in that, and indeed, We are surely testing [Our servants]. Then We produced a generation of others after them. And We sent a messenger among them from themselves, [saying], "Serve God; you have no god other than Him; then will you not fear [Him]?" [But] the eminent among his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said, "This is nothing but a man like yourselves. He eats from that which you eat and drinks from what you drink. And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be in loss."
18:55 - 56, Qur'an
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness from their Lord except that the [accustomed] precedent of the former [peoples must] befall them or that the punishment should come [directly] before them. And We do not send the messengers except as warners and bringers of good news. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate the truth thereby and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
3. Every Nation Intended to Seize their Messenger
86:15 - 16, Qur'an
[So] indeed, they are planning a plan, but I am planning a plan. So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
17:76 - 77, Qur'an
[For] indeed, they were about to scare you from the land to evict you therefrom. And then when they do, they will not remain there after you, except for a little. [That is Our established] way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find any alteration in Our way -
4. The Messenger was Saved by God, and the Wrongdoers were Destroyed
Psalms 37:38 - 40, Torah
[For] the transgressors will be destroyed together, the end of the wicked will be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the Lord, [He is] their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord will help them, and deliver them, He will deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him.
See the Last Day page for more details about the pattern of the messengers
We have Sent the Qur'an Progressively so that you might Recite it over a Prolonged Period
So I will Give them Time, Indeed My Plan is Firm - Muhammad is Nothing but a Clear Warner
17:106 - 108, Qur'an
[This is] a Qur'an which We have separated [by intervals] so that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively. Say, "Believe in it or do not believe. Indeed, those who were given knowledge before it - when it is recited to them, they fall upon their faces in prostration, and they say, "Our Lord is Exalted! Indeed, the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled" -
9:126 - 127, Qur'an
Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year but then they do not repent nor do they remember? And whenever a chapter is sent down, they look at each other, [saying], "Does anyone see you?" and then they turn away. God has turned their hearts away because they are a people who do not understand -
68:44 - 45, Qur'an
So leave Me with whoever denies this [Qur'an]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know. And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
76:23, Qur'an
[For] indeed, it is We who have sent the Qur'an down to you progressively -
36:6 - 7, Qur'an
So that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware. The word has already come true upon most of them, so they do not believe.
They Say, "When will this Conquest Be?" For they Impatiently Urge you to Bring the Punishment, while Similar Punishments have Already Occurred Before
So Say, "The Prophets who have been Before me Prophesied Against many Countries," for We did Not Destroy Any City Before Except that there was a Known Decree for it
15:4, Qur'an
We did not destroy any city except that there was a known decree for it.
37:174 - 176, Qur'an
So, turn away from them for a time [O Muhammad]. And see [what will befall] them, for soon they are going to see. Then are they impatient for Our punishment?
32:28, Qur'an
[For] they say, "When will this conquest be, if you should be truthful?"
71:1 - 4, Qur'an
[For] indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them." He said, "O my people, indeed I am a clear warner to you, [saying], 'Serve God, fear Him and obey me. God will forgive your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, when the term [set by] God comes, it will not be delayed, if you only knew.'"
27:45 - 46, Qur'an
And We had certainly sent their brother Salih to Thamud, [saying], "Serve God," and at once they were two groups conflicting. He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil instead of good? Why do you not seek forgiveness from God so that you may receive mercy?"
7:77 - 78, Qur'an
[But] they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, "O Salih, bring us what you promise us, if you should be among the messengers." So the earthquake seized them, and they became [corpses] fallen prone within their homes.
29:28 - 29, Qur'an
And [likewise the people of] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds. Indeed, you approach men and cut off the road and commit [every] evil in your meetings." And there was no answer among his people except that they said, "Bring us the punishment of God, if you should be among the truthful."
26:185 - 187, Qur'an
[And] they said [to Shu'ayb], "You are only among those affected by magic. You are nothing but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars. So cause fragments of the heaven to fall upon us, if you should be among the truthful."
46:24 - 25, Qur'an
[But] when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said, "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Rather, it is that which you were impatient for, a wind, within it [is] a painful punishment, destroying everything by command of its Lord. And they became so that nothing was seen [of them] except their dwellings. Thus, We recompense the criminal people.
10:50 - 51, Qur'an
[So] say [O Muhammad], "Have you considered: if His punishment should come to you by night or by day - for which [aspect] of it would the criminals be impatient?" Then is it that when it has [actually] occurred you will believe in it? Now? And you were [once] impatient for it -
Wait Until God Executes His Command, for the Command of God is Coming
And When Our Command Comes, the Falsifiers will Lose All; but We Saved those who Believed
11:58 - 59, Qur'an
And when Our command came [to 'Aad], We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment. [But We destroyed] 'Aad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant.
11:66 - 67, Qur'an
[And] when Our command came [to Thamud], We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day. Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Almighty. [But] the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became [corpses] fallen prone.
11:94 - 95, Qur'an
And when Our command came [to Midian], We saved Shu'ayb and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us. [But] the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became [corpses] fallen prone within their homes as if they had never prospered therein. Then, away with Midian as Thamud was taken away.
11:100 - 102, Qur'an
- That is from the news of the cities, which We relate to you; some are [still] standing among them, and some are [as] a harvest [mowed down]. And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than God when the command of your Lord came. And they did not increase them in [anything] other than ruin. And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.
Read the Qur'an in the revealed order, the command of God came in Surah 87
They were About to Drive you from the Land to Evict you, for that is Our Established Way for those We had Sent Before you of Our Messengers
For Every Nation Intended to Seize their Messenger, so I Seized them, and How was My Penalty
27:48 - 49, Qur'an
And there were nine family heads in the city causing corruption in the land and not amending [its affairs]. They said, "Take a mutual oath by God that we will kill [Salih] by night, him and his family. Then we will say to his protector, 'We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful.'"
Luke 23:21, Gospel
[And] they cried, saying, "Crucify [Jesus], crucify him."
17:76 - 77, Qur'an
[So] indeed, they were about to [likewise] scare you [O Muhammad] from the land to evict you therefrom. And then when they do, they will not remain there after you, except for a little. [That is Our established] way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find any alteration in Our way -
The Penalty for those who Wage War Against God and His Messenger is None but that they be Killed or Exiled from the Land
For the Eternal God is your Refuge, He will Thrust out your Enemies who Persecuted you, and will Say, "Destroy them"
2:190 - 191, Qur'an
[So] fight in the way of God those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed, God does not love the transgressors. And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and oppression is worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Forbidden [House] until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
9:13 - 14, Qur'an
[Or] would you not fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to expel the messenger, and they had begun [the attack upon] you the first time? Do you fear them? But God has more right that you should fear Him, if you are [truly] believers. [So] fight them; God will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and help you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.
5:33 - 34, Qur'an
[For] indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against God and His messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is a disgrace for them in this world; and there is a great punishment for them in the Hereafter, except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend them. And know that God is Forgiving and Merciful.
Remember When Armies Came to Attack you, and God Sent Down Armies of Angels you Did Not See and Punished those who Disbelieved
For God Spoke by His Holy Prophets, that we should be Saved from our Enemies, for Indeed, God Defends those who have Believed
Luke 1:70 - 71, Gospel
[God] spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, who have been since the world began, that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
Luke 1:72 - 75, Gospel
To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant; the oath which He swore to our father Abraham, that He would grant to us, that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear [of our enemies], in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.
22:38 - 40, Qur'an
[So] indeed, God defends those who have believed. Indeed, God does not love anyone treacherous and ungrateful. Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, God is Powerful to give them help. [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without truth - only because they say, "Our Lord is God." And were it not that God checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is much remembered [or mentioned]. And God will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, God is Powerful and Almighty.
Psalms 44:26, Torah
[So] arise for our help [O Lord], and redeem us for Your mercies' sake.
Psalms 35:1 - 3, Torah
Plead [my cause], O Lord, with those who strive with me, fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Draw out the spear also, and stop [the way] against those who persecute me, say to my soul, "I [am] your salvation."
8:9 - 10, Qur'an
[So] remember when you asked help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another." And God did not make it [occur] except as good news and so that your hearts would be assured thereby. And help is not from [anyone] but God. Indeed, God is Almighty and Wise.
3:123 - 125, Qur'an
And God had already helped you at [the battle of] Badr while you were humiliated. Then fear God; perhaps you will be grateful. [Remember] when you said to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down? Yes, if you are patient and fear [God] and [the enemy] suddenly comes upon you, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction].
Psalms 35:5 - 9, Torah
[So] let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of the Lord chase [them]. Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the Lord persecute them. For they have hidden their net [in] a pit for me without cause, [which] they have dug for my soul without cause. Let destruction come upon him unawaringly; and let his net which he has hidden catch himself, let him fall into that very destruction. And my soul will be joyful in the Lord, it will rejoice in His salvation.
Do Not be Afraid of this Great Multitude; for David Said to Goliath, "The Battle is the Lord's," He Goes with you, to Fight for you Against your Enemies
And Thus, you will be Called to Face a People of Great Military Might, but if there are a Hundred Among you, they will Overcome a Thousand of those who have Disbelieved
37:171 - 173, Qur'an
Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers, [that] indeed, they would be those given help and [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
1 Samuel 17:10 - 11, Torah
And the Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, so that we may fight together." When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
2:249 - 250, Qur'an
[And so] when Saul separated the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, God will be testing you [and your fast] with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us against Goliath and his soldiers today." But those who were certain that they would meet God said, "How many small companies have overcome a large company by permission of God? And God is with the patient." And when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour patience upon us and plant our feet firmly and help us against the disbelieving people."
1 Samuel 17:45 - 47, Torah
Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from you; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day to the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly will know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands."
2:251 - 252, Qur'an
So they defeated them by permission of God, and David killed Goliath, and God gave him the kingdom and wisdom and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for God checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but God is full of bounty to the worlds. These are the verses of God which We recite to you in truth. And indeed, you [O Muhammad] are from among the messengers.
8:64 - 65, Qur'an
[So] O prophet, God is sufficient for you and for whoever follows you among the believers. O prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are one hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand -
Deuteronomy 32:28 - 31, Torah
For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there any] understanding in them. O that they were wise, [that] they understood this, [that] they would consider their latter end! How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock [is] not as our Rock,
Leviticus 26:7 - 8, Torah
[Thus] you will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword. And five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will put ten thousand to flight, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword -
Joshua 23:9 - 10, Torah
For the Lord has driven out great and strong nations from before you, but [as for] you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day. One man among you will chase a thousand, for the Lord your God, [it is] He who fights for you, as He has promised you.
This Worldly Life is Nothing but Diversion, but the Hereafter, that is the Life - so Strive [jāhidū] with your Wealth and Lives in the Way of God
So Let those Fight in the Way of God for the Oppressed, for God has Purchased their Lives and their Wealth in Exchange that they will have the Garden
4:74 - 75, Qur'an
So let those fight in the way of God who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the way of God and is killed or overcomes - then We will soon give him a great reward. And what is [the matter] with you that you do not fight in the way of God and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of wrongdoing people and appoint a protector for us from Yourself and appoint a helper for us from Yourself?"
Do Not Take your Fathers or your Brothers as Allies if they Oppose God and His Messenger
For a Brother will Deliver up his Brother to Death, and the Father will Deliver his Child to Death
*Matthew 10:34 - 36, Gospel
"[So] do not think that I have come to send peace on earth, I did not come to send peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And [thus] a man's foes [will be] those of his own household -
Do Not Take the Jews and Christians as Allies, for God does Not Guide the Disbelieving People
But God only Forbids that you Make Allies of those who Fight you Because of Religion - as when Satan Entered into Judas and he Betrayed Jesus to the Chief Priests
2 Corinthians 6:14 - 15, Gospel
Do not be yoked differently with unbelievers, for what fellowship does righteousness have with unrighteousness? And what communion does light have with darkness? And what concord does the Messiah have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have with a disbeliever?
60:1 - 2, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending affection to them while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the prophet and yourselves because you believe in God, your Lord. If you have come out to strive in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [do not take them as allies]. You confide affection to them, but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the even path. If they gain dominance over you, they would be as enemies to you and extend their hands against you and their tongues with evil, and they wish you would disbelieve.
60:7 - 9, Qur'an
[But] perhaps God will put affection between you and those among them to whom you have been enemies. And God is Powerful, and God is Forgiving and Merciful. [So] God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from dealing kindly and justly with them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. God only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you turn to them [as allies]. And whoever turns to them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
Luke 22:2 - 3, Gospel
[For remember that] the chief priests and scribes [of the Jews] sought how they might kill [Jesus]; for they feared the people. Then Satan entered into Judas surnamed Iscariot [and Satan guided him], being of the number of the twelve.
Luke 22:4 - 6, Gospel
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.
John 18:12, Gospel
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him.
Matthew 27:3 - 4, Gospel
[So remember] then [that] Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought the thirty pieces of silver again to the chief priests and elders, saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood." And they said, "What [is that] to us? See [to that]."
58:14 - 16, Qur'an
[So] have you not seen those who turn to a people with whom God has become angry? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to lies while they know. God has prepared a severe punishment for them. Indeed, what they were doing was evil. They took their [false] oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of God, and there is a humiliating punishment for them.
If you Punish, Punish with an Equivalent of that with which you were Punished - an Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth, and a Life for a Life
But whoever Pardons and Makes Reconciliation - his Reward is Due from God; and if you are Patient, it is Better for those who are Patient
Leviticus 24:19 - 20, Torah
[Whereby] if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor; as he has done, so will it be done to him; breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he has caused a blemish in a man, so will it be done to him [again].
16:126 - 127, Qur'an
And [thus,] if you punish, punish with an equivalent of that with which you were punished. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient. And be patient, and your patience is not [possible] except through God. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire.
Deuteronomy 19:19 - 21, Torah
Then you will do to him, as he had thought to have done to his brother, so you will put the evil away from among you. And those who remain will hear, and fear, and will no longer from now on commit any such evil among you. And your eye will not pity; [but] life [will go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot [as legal retribution]."
2:178 - 179, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, legal retribution is prescribed for you for those killed - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever is pardoned anything from his brother, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment. And there is [the restoring or saving of] life [or taking of the killer's life] for you in legal retribution, O you [people] of understanding, so that you may fear [God] -
42:41 - 43, Qur'an
And whoever defends himself after having been wronged - those do not have any way [of blame] against them. The way [of blame] is only against the ones who wrong the people and rebel upon the earth without truth. Those will have a painful punishment. And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is among the matters [requiring] determination.
There is to Be No Aggression Except Against the Wrongdoers and those who Fight you
So if they Remove themselves from you and do Not Fight you and Offer you Peace, then God has Not Made a Cause for you for Fighting Against them
2:192 - 193, Qur’an
[So] if they cease, then indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful. [So] fight them until there is no [more] oppression and [until] the religion is [acknowledged to be] for God. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the wrongdoers.
When you Come to a City to Fight Against it, Proclaim Peace to it, if they Incline to Peace, then Incline to it Also and Trust in God
But if they Break their Oaths After their Treaty, then Fight the Leaders of Disbelief so that they might Cease
9:10 - 11, Qur'an
They do not observe any pact of kinship or covenant of protection toward a believer. And it is they who are the transgressors. But if they repent, establish prayer, and give purifying [alms], then they are your brothers in religion; and We detail the verses for a people who know.
Do Not Kill yourselves, and whoever does that in Aggression and Injustice then We will Burn him in Hellfire
But if you Avoid the Major Sins which are Forbidden, We will Marry you to Women Untouched by Man Before you
4:26 - 27, Qur'an
[Thus] God wants to make [the lawful from the unlawful] clear to you and guide you to the [good] ways of those before you and to accept your repentance. And God is Knowing and Wise. God wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] desires want you to digress [into] a great deviation.
4:29 - 31, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth by false [means] but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves. Indeed, God is Merciful to you. And whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We will soon burn him in a Fire. And that is easy for God. [But] if you avoid the greater [sins] which you are forbidden, We will remove your evil deeds from you and admit you to a noble entrance -
55:74, Qur'an
Untouched by man or jinni before them -
56:35 - 38, Qur'an
Indeed, We have produced the women [of Paradise] in a [new] creation and made them virgins, devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, for the companions of the right -
42:37 - 39, Qur'an
Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive. And those who have responded to their Lord and established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and they spend from what We have provided them. And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves.
Those will have Lost who Killed their Children, Inventing Lies About God, they have Gone Astray and were Not Rightly Guided
For they Sacrificed their Sons and Daughters to Devils and their Idols, which I did Not Command them
16:58 - 59, Qur'an
And [likewise,] when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. He hides himself from the people because of the evil of what he has been given good news about. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, what they decide is [indeed] evil.
Psalms 106:35 - 38, Torah
[For they] were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. And they served their idols, which were a snare to them. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils, and shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
Deuteronomy 12:31 - 32, Torah
[Thus,] you will not do so to the Lord your God, for every abomination to the Lord, which He hates, they have done to their gods; for they have even burnt their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods. Whatever thing I command you, observe to do it, you will not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
There Should be No Compulsion in Acceptance of the Religion, for you are Not a Controller or a Tyrant Over them
So whoever Wills, Let him Believe; and whoever Wills, Let him Disbelieve, for those are the Ones who will Lose their Souls on the Day of Resurrection
51:54, Qur'an
So turn away from them, for you are not to be blamed.
Matthew 10:14 - 15, Gospel
"And [thus,] whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Verily I say to you, 'It will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgement, than for that city -'"
88:23 - 24, Qur'an
[For] he who turns away and disbelieves - then God will punish him with the greatest punishment.
88:21 - 22, Qur'an
So remind, you are only a reminder. You are not a controller over them.
109:1 - 6, Qur'an
[So] say, "O disbelievers, I do not serve what you serve. Nor are you servants of what I serve. Nor will I be a servant of what you serve. Nor will you be servants of what I serve. Your religion is for you, and my religion is for me -
39:14 - 15, Qur'an
[Whereby] I serve God [alone], sincere to Him in my religion, so serve what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose their souls and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the clear loss."
Whoever God Sends Astray, the Devils Increase them in Error, and so they Say, "God has Ordered us to do Immorality," but God does Not Order Immorality
But None will Remember Except those of Understanding, Whereby God Gives Wisdom to whom He Wills, and Increases them in Guidance
30:59, Qur'an
[And] thus, God seals the hearts of those who do not know.
7:202, Qur'an
[For] their brothers, they increase them in error; then they do not stop short.
Do Not Take your Oaths as Deceit, and Stand Firm in Justice, Even if it is Against yourselves or Parents and Relatives
But When Our Verses are Recited to them, they Say, "This is Nothing Except a Lie [Taqiyya]"
Exodus 20:16, Torah
[So do] not bear false witness against your neighbor,
40:23 - 24, Qur'an
And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority to Pharaoh, Haman and Korah; but they said, "[He is] a magician and a liar."
As for those who have Deviation in their Hearts, they will Seek Discord and an Interpretation Suitable to them in Order to Make the Way of God Seem Deviant
For they Dispute About the Verses of God without Knowledge and they Pass on what is Heard
26:223, Qur'an
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
45:7 - 9, Qur'an
[So] woe to every sinful liar, who hears the verses of God recited to him, then persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So give him good news of a painful punishment. And when he knows anything of Our verses, he takes them in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.
22:8 - 9, Qur'an
[And] among the people is he who disputes about God without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book [from Him], twisting his neck to mislead from the way of God. There is disgrace for him in the world, and We will make him taste the punishment of the Burning Fire on the Day of Resurrection -
Jeremiah 9:3 - 6, Torah
"[For] they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies, but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me," the Lord says. "Take heed, everyone of his neighbor, and do not trust in any brother, for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders. And everyone will deceive his neighbor, and will not speak the truth, they have taught their tongue to speak lies, [and] weary themselves to commit iniquity. [Thus] your habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; [and] through deceit they refuse to know Me," the Lord says.
27:83 - 85, Qur'an
[So warn of] the Day when We will gather a company from every nation of those who deny Our verses, and they will be [driven] in rows until, when they arrive [at the place of Judgement], He will say, "Did you deny My verses while you did not encompass them in knowledge, or what [was it that] you were doing?" And the word will be fulfilled against them for the wrong they did, and they will not speak.
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit will Not be Forgiven, for the Trustworthy Spirit has Brought the Qur'an
And they Dispute by Falsehood to Invalidate the Truth which the Holy Spirit has Brought from your Lord in Truth
Mark 3:30, Gospel
[But] they said, "[Jesus] has an unclean spirit."
26:192 - 197, Qur'an
[And] indeed, [the Qur'an] is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds. The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - so that you may be among the warners in a clear Arabic language. And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the Scriptures of former [peoples]. And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
John 14:16 - 17, Gospel
[For Jesus said,] "And I will ask [God] the [Creator], and He will give you another Comforter, so that he may abide with you forever; [even] the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him, neither knows him, but you know him; for he dwells with you, and will be in you."
3:98 - 99, Qur'an
[So] say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of God while God is Witness over what you do?" [And] say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you avert those who believe from the way of God, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And God is not unaware of what you do" -
16:102 - 105, Qur'an
Say, "The Holy Spirit has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make those who believe firm and as guidance and good news to those in submission [to God]." And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a human being who teaches the prophet." The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this Qur'an is [in] a clear Arabic language. [But] indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of God - God will not guide them, and there is a painful punishment for them. Those who do not believe in the verses of God only invent falsehood, and it is those who are the liars.
When they Say "Peace and Safety," then Sudden Destruction Comes upon them
For Hear the Word of the Lord, "Your Brethren who Hated you, who Cast you Out for My Name's Sake, will Perish in the Day of Vengeance"
47:29 - 30, Qur'an
Or do those who have disease in their hearts think that God would never expose their feelings of hatred? And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their mark; but you will surely know them by the tone of their speech -
[2 Ezra 5:1 - 2], Torah
[For] behold, the days will come, that those who dwell upon earth will be taken in a great number, and the way of truth will be hidden, and the land will be barren of faith. But iniquity will be increased above that which you now see, or that you have heard long ago.
Matthew 24:12, Gospel
And because iniquity will abound, the love of many will wax cold.
[2 Ezra 16:70 - 72], Torah
[And thus] there will be in every place, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those who fear God. They will be like mad men, sparing none, but still spoiling and destroying those who fear God. For they will waste and take away their goods, and cast them out of their houses.
21:38 - 40, Qur'an
[So] they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?" If those who disbelieved knew the time when they will not avert the Fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be aided... Rather, it will come to them suddenly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 - 3, Gospel
For you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they will say, 'Peace and safety;' then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they will not escape.
