Asalam alaykum The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers. And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.   Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." Quran 2:285-286 Ma salam.

Asalam alaykum And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. Quran 8:46

Asalam  alaykum "If We had sent down this Quran upon a mountain, you would have seen it humble itself and shatter out of fear of God.  Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect. He is Allah, there is no deity but He.  He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen.  He is  ar-Rahman  (Most Compassionate),  ar-Raheem (Most Merciful).  He is Allah besides Whom there is no deity.  He is  al-Malik (Sovereign),  al-Quddus  (Most Pure),  as-Salaam  (Giver of peace),  al-Mumin  (Giver of security),  al-Muhaiman  (Vigilant),  al-Aziz (Migthy),  al-Jabbar  (Overpowering),  al-Mutakabbir  (Glorious).  He is pure from whatever they ascribe to Him.  He is Allah,  al-Khaliq  (Creator),  al-Bari  (Perfect Maker),  al-Musawwir  (Fashioner); to Him belong the most beautiful names.  Whatever is in the heavens and...

Asalam alaykum O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure, ever, but Allah purifies whom He wills, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing. Quran 24:21 Ma Salam

Asalam alaykum And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allah] and was evil as a way. Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father’s sisters, your mother’s sisters, your brother’s daughters, your sister’s daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives’ mothers, and your step daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful. And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess [i.e., slaves or war-captives who had polytheistic husbands]. [This is] the ...

Salam  O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. Quran 4:171

Asalam alaykum "He Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.  Allah  does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.

21.  And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them; and He planted love and compassion between you. In this are signs for people who reflect. 22.  And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colors. In this are signs for those who know. 23.  And of His signs are your sleep by night and day, and your pursuit of His bounty. In this are signs for people who listen. 24.  And of His signs is that He shows you the lightning, causing fear and hope. And He brings down water from the sky, and with it He revives the earth after it was dead. In this are signs for people who understand. 25.  And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once. 26.  To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. All are submissive to Him. 27.  I...

97.  Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves , they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination! 98.  Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way. 99.  For these there is hope that Allah will forgive them, and Allah is Ever Oft Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.p 100.  He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allah, will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever leaves his home as an emigrant unto Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward is then surely incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 4:97-100)

Asalam alaykum 1.  In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.  2.  All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the  'Alamin  (mankind, jinns and all that exists).   3.  The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.  4.  The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)  5.  You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).  6.  Guide us to the Straight Way 7.  The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray. 

Asalam alaykum 1.When comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad ( ) against your enemies) and the conquest (of Makkah), 2.  And you see that the people enter Allah's religion (Islam) in crowds, 3.  So glorify the Praises of your Lord, and ask for His Forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgive s.

Asalam alaykum Men are  in charge of women by [right of] what  Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand. Quran 4:34

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. [ 60.1 ] O you who believe! do not take My enemy and your enemy for friends: would you offer them love while they deny what has come to you of the truth, driving out the Apostle and yourselves because you believe in Allah, your Lord? If you go forth struggling hard in My path and seeking My pleasure, would you manifest love to them? And I know what you conceal and what you manifest; and whoever of you does this, he indeed has gone astray from the straight path. [ 60.2 ] If they find you, they will be your enemies, and will stretch forth towards you their hands and their tongues with evil, and they ardently desire that you may disbelieve. [ 60.3 ] Your relationship would not profit you, nor your children on the day of resurrection; He will decide between you; and Allah sees what you do. [ 60.4 ] Indeed, there is for you a good example in Ibrahim and those with him when they said to their people: Surely we are clear of you and o...

Asalam alaykum And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative. You can only warn those who fear their Lord unseen and have established prayer. And whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul. And to Allah is the [final] destination."Quran 35:18 Ma salam.

Salam alaykum “And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide for him from sources he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things.” (Surah At-Talaq 65:2-3). Ma salam

But those who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth - for them is the curse, and they will have the worst home. Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. And they rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life is not, compared to the Hereafter, except [brief] enjoyment. And those who disbelieved say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, Allah leaves astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him] - Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." Those who have believed and done righteous deeds - a good state is theirs and a good return. Thus have We sent you to a community before which [other] communities have passed on so you might recit...

Asalam alaykum "Say: Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty for you: That ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury - We provide for you and for them - and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath command you, in order that ye may discern." Quran 6:151 Ma salam

"They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].  They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous.And whatever good they do - never will it be removed from them. And Allah is Knowing of the righteous". Quran 3:113 -115

"AND TELL THE BELIEVING WOMEN TO REDUCE SOME] OF THEIR VISION AND GUARD THEIR PRIVATE PARTS AN D NOT EXPOSE THEIR   ADORNMENT EXCEPT THAT WHICH [NECESSARILY] APPEARS THEREOF AND TO WRAP [A PORTION OF] THEIR HEADCOVERS OVER THEIR CHESTS AND NOT EXPOSE THEIR ADORNMENT EXCEPT TO THEIR HUSBANDS, THEIR FATHERS, THEIR HUSBANDS' FATHERS, THEIR SONS, THEIR HUSBANDS' SONS, THEIR BROTHERS, THEIR BROTHERS' SONS, THEIR SISTERS' SONS, THEIR WOMEN, THAT WHICH THEIR RIGHT HANDS POSSESS, OR THOSE MALE ATTENDANTS HAVING NO PHYSICAL DESIRE, OR CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT YET AWARE OF THE PRIVATE ASPECTS OF WOMEN. AND LET THEM NOT STAMP THEIR FEET TO MAKE KNOWN WHAT THEY CONCEAL OF THEIR ADORNMENT. AND TURN TO ALLAH IN REPENTANCE, ALL OF YOU, O BELIEVERS, THAT YOU MIGHT SUCCEED" QURAN 24:31  

He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10 A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to Allah with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89 Verily, among his people was Abraham, when he came to his Lord with a pure heart. Surah As-Saffat 37:83-84 He has succeeded who purifies himself, who remembers the name of his Lord and prays. Surah Al-A’la 87:14-15 Verily, the prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. Surah Al-Ankabut 29:45 But the righteous one will avoid Hellfire, who gives from his wealth to purify himself. Surah Al-Layl 92:17-18 Take from their wealth a charity by which you cleanse them and purify them, and invoke blessings upon them. Surah At-Tawbah 9:103 Nay, but on their hearts is a covering because of what they have earned . Surah Al- Mutaffif...

Translation: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious. Say: (O Muhammad pbuh) O disbelievers, I worship not that which you worship, Nor will you worship that which I worship, And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping, Nor will you worship that which I worship, To you be your religion and to me my religion.
