بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Surah Al-Baqarah [2] The Cow
وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ - 2:186
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near.
I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.
So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.
Surah An-Nahl [16] The Bee
فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الْأَمْثَالَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ - 16:74
So do not assert similarities to Allah. Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know.
قُلْ نَزَّلَهُ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ - 16:102
Say, [O Muhammad], "The Pure Spirit has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm
those who believe and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims."
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ - 16:119
Then, indeed your Lord, to those who have done wrong out of ignorance and then repent after that
and correct themselves - indeed, your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
Surah Al-Isra' [17] The Night Journey
رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ ۚ إِن تَكُونُوا صَالِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلْأَوَّابِينَ غَفُورًا - 17:25
Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] -
then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلَّا نُفُورًا - 17:41
And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur'an that mankind may be reminded,
but it does not increase the disbelievers except in aversion.
رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ ۖ إِن يَشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَوْ إِن يَشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ ۚ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلًا - 17:54
Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you.
And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], over them as a manager.
أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ تَبِيعًا - 17:69
Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into the sea another time and send upon you
a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied?
Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger.
وَمَن كَانَ فِي هَٰذِهِ أَعْمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَعْمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا - 17:72
And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way.
Surah Luqman [31] Luqman
وَمَن يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ ۗ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ - 31:22
And whoever submits his face to Allah while he is a doer of good -
then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold. And to Allah will be the outcome of [all] matters.
Surah As-Sajadah [32] The Prostration
فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّا أُخْفِيَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ - 32:17
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.
قُلْ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لَا يَنفَعُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِيمَانُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ - 32:29
Say, [O Muhammad], "On the Day of Conquest the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them,
nor will they be reprieved."
Surah Al-Ahzab [33] The Combined Force
هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَائِكَتُهُ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ ۚ وَكَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًا - 33:43
It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that
He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.
Surah Asy-Syura [42] The Consultation
وَالَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ - 42:37
And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive,
ps: honestly, when reciting the quran with its translation, it felt like Allah is speaking directly to me.
each time i had problems, questions or doubts, the answers are given directly to me from the quran. btw,
if you could refer back to my previous entry on emergency phone numbers, you may understand
more on what i meant. i'm not a pious person. i'm far away from it but i'm trying my best to become one.
i may have my good and bad day. during my bad day, my faith will be tested. for example,
during my depressed moment. where i thought that life is useless and i have no reason to be alive anymore,
the moment when i would want to commit suicide, Allah's words are the one that really prevent it.
i'm very very grateful to be borned as a muslim and i pray hard each day that i'll die as a muslim as well.
this is one of my favourite verse from the quran. everytimes hardships come in my way,
i'll remember this verse;
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ
رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ
رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ - 2:286
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."
