Qur'anic Quotes
- Thread starter Cordoba
- Start date
Dear Cordoba,
I'm interested in Islam. For example, I own 13 Qur'ans (inluding a couple of Arabic ones) in interpretations in some four other languages, and several other books on Islam and a couple of shelf metres of books on the Arabic language. If you want me to ignore a thread, the best way is to do like in this one: post a hundred quotes without making any comments of your own.

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.[/FONT]
(11:114)
In The Qur'an, God tells us that the good deeds do away with the misdeeds.
On the Day of Judgement, God will judge us based on His Mercy first, but also based on the balance between our good deeds and bad deeds.
If the good deeds a believer exceed bad deeds, then he will be entitled to an eternal life in Paradise.
God is The Most Merciful, and He is The Most Just

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]And to Allah belong the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth and to Him will be returned the matter, all of it, so worship Him and rely upon Him. And your Lord is not unaware of that which you do. [/FONT](11:123)
There is so much of this universe that we are unaware of, which means that in reality our knowledge is very limited, a drop in the ocean
Only The Creator knows all the seen and unseen aspects of this universe and what is beyond, and to Him we will one day return
What He wants from us in this life is to worship Him and rely upon him in following His guidance for a happy life here and in The Hereafter

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allah. That is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful. [/FONT](12:38)
Joseph is talking to two men who ask him for the interpretation of a dream they each had, inviting them to Monotheism

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif]O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions." [/FONT](12:43)
This will be the start of a new phase for Prophet Joseph in Egypt, as he gives the correct interpretation of the king's dream

[FONT=Arial,Geneva,Verdana,Sans-Serif][Joseph] said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest leave in its spikes, except a little from which you will eat.

Belief on its own is not enough. It has to lead a believer to do good in this world, and one of the best acts is to help others who are in need as that is a sign of mercy in the heart
