POINTS FROM SEVENTEENTH CHAPTER

The reckoning draws nigh for mankind, while

they turn away in heedlessness.

And We sent not (as Our messengers) before you

other than men whom We inspired. ......We gave
them not bodies that would not eat food, nor
were they immortals
And We sent no messenger before you but We
inspired him, (saying): There is no Gad save
Me(Allah), so worship Me

...the heavens and the earth were of one piece,

then We parted them. and We made every living
thing of water
Every soul must taste of death, and We try you
with evil and with good, for ordeal.

Man is made of haste

And We set a just balance for the Day of

Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught
People who keep from evil, fear their Lord in
secret and dread the Hour (of doom)

Quran is blessed reminder(of God's

commandaments) Will you then reject it?
When Abraham said unto his father and his folk:
What are these images unto which you pay
devotion?
And We taught him the art of making garments
(of mail) to protect you in your daring.
And there is ban upon any community which We
have destroyed: that they shall not return,

Therein wailing is their portion and therein they

hear not
We sent thee (o Phrophet pbuh) not save as a
mercy for the peoples
Our Lord is the Beneficent, whose help is to be
implored against that which ye ascribe (unto
Him)
Lo! the earthquake of the Hour (of Doom) is a
tremendous thing
...and among you there is he who is brought back
to the most abject time of life, so that, after
knowledge, he knows naught...
Do not dispute concerning Allah without
knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving
light....
One who beguile (men) from the way of Allah for
him in this world is ignominy, and on the Day or
Resurrection doom of burning
Unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever is in the
heavens and whosoever is in the earth......

And for every nation have We appointed a ritual,

that they may mention the name of Allah over
the beast of cattle that He has given them for
food;
Their flesh and their blood reach not Allah, but
the devotion from you reachs Him

Believers have been allowed to fight i) if they

have been wronged, ii) they have been driven
from their homes unjutly and only because of
their religion. And then Believers fight with the
aim that if Allah gives them power in the land,
they will establish worship and pay the poor-due
and enjoin kidness and forbid inquity. And
Allah's is the sequel of events

For indeed it is not the eyes that grow blind, but

it is the hearts, which are within the bosoms, that
grow blind
Say: O mankind! I am only a plain warner unto
you. Those who believe and do good works, for
them is pardon and rich provision, while those
who strive to thwart Our revelations, such are
rightful owners of the Fire

Lo! Allah verily is guiding those who believe unto

a right path
The sovereignty on that day will be Allah's

And whoso retaliated with the like of that which

he was made to suffer and then has again been
wronged. Allah will succour him
That is because Allah, He is the True, and that
whereon they call instead of Him, itis the False, ...

Unto each nation have We given sacred rites

which they are to perform; so let them not
dispute with you of the matter,....and if they
wrangle with you, say: Allah is best aware of
what you do

And when Our revelations are recited unto them,

you know the denial in the faces of those who
disbelieve: they all but attack those who receite
Our revelations unto them.
Bow down and prostrate yourselves and worship
Your Lord, and do good, that haply you may
prosper
He has chosen you and has not laid upon you in
religion any hardship; the faith of your father
Abraham (is yours). He named you Muslims of
old time and in this (scripture)...
