2: 112. But no! Whoever submits themselves to Allah and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
[2:62. Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Rabb. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
7:180. Allah has the Most Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. They will be punished for what they used to do.
41:40. Indeed, those who abuse Our revelations are not hidden from Us. Who is better: the one who will be cast into the Fire or the one who will be secure on Judgment Day? Do whatever you want. He is certainly All-Seeing of what you do.
*They have fulfilled the purpose of life that is, to serve the Creator by serving His creation, thereby developing their personalities in this life, and thus, attaining true immortality with further progress in the life to come]
2: 113. The Jews say, “The Christians have nothing to stand on” and the Christians say, “The Jews have nothing to stand on,” although both recite the Scriptures. And those ˹pagans˺ who have no knowledge say the same ˹about people of faith˺. Surely Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their dispute.
[Qaul = Utterance = Thought = Assertion = Tenet = Attitude = Expression. Mankind holding divergent views will acknowledge the Divine truth in this world as well.
9:33.He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹true˺ guidance and the deen of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists.
11:118. Had your Rabb so willed, He would have certainly made humanity one single community ˹of believers˺, but they will always ˹choose to˺ differ.
41:53. We will show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that this ˹Quran˺ is the truth. Is it not enough that your Rabb is a Witness over all things?
48:28. He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹right˺ guidance and the Deen of truth, making it prevail over all others. And sufficient is Allah as a Witness.
61:9. He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹true˺ guidance and the deen of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists. ]
2:114. Who does more wrong than those who prevent Allah’s Name from being mentioned in His places of submission and strive to destroy them? Such people have no right to enter these places except with fear. For them there is disgrace in this world, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter.
[9:17. It is not for the polytheists to maintain the masjid of Allah while they openly profess disbelief. Their deeds are void, and they will be in the Fire forever.
9:107. There are also those ˹hypocrites˺ who set up a masjid˹only˺ to cause harm, promote disbelief, divide the believers, and as a base for those who had previously fought against Allah and His Messenger. They will definitely swear, “We intended nothing but good,” but Allah bears witness that they are surely liars.
72:18. The places of Masjid are ˹only˺ for Allah, so do not invoke anyone besides Him.
Masajid = Mosques = Administration centers of the Divine System = Collective submission and consultation on how best to follow the Divine Commands = Centers that the Islamic government will establish to implement the Qur’anic Order in the society and manage social welfare. These are Centers where people have open access to their office bearers, where government decrees are announced and every member of the society can voice one’s opinion without fear.
Masjid = Singular,Mosque = Sincere collective submission = Centers of Divine System.
7:29. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “My Rabb has commanded uprightness and dedication ˹to Him alone˺ in masjid, calling upon Him with sincere devotion. Just as He first brought you into being, you will be brought to life again.”]
2: 115. To Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn you are facing ˹towards˺ Allah. Surely Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.
[3:95. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah has declared the truth. So follow the Way of Abraham, the upright—who was not a polytheist.”
The benevolent Divinely Prescribed System of Life should be followed everywhere on earth. In the interim, any community may follow it.]
2:116. They say, “Allah has offspring.” Glory be to Him! In fact, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth—all are subject to His Will.
[He needs no helpers, associates or offspring to manifest His Magnificence, and there is none like unto Him.
112: 1-4. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is Allah—One ˹and Indivisible˺
Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺.
He has never had offspring, nor was He born.
And there is none comparable to Him.”]
2:117. ˹He is˺ the Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!
[Qaul = Saying = Thought. Badee’= Initiator = Originator = One Who creates from nothing = The Impeccable Creator.]
2:118. Those who have no knowledge say, “If only Allah would speak to us or a sign would come to us!” The same was said by those who came before. Their hearts are all alike. Indeed, We have made the signs clear for people of sure faith.
[by exploring the internal evidence in these revelations and in the Universe.
2:108. Or do you ˹believers˺ intend to ask of your Messenger as Moses was asked before? But whoever trades belief for disbelief has truly strayed from the Right Way.
2:256. Let there be no compulsion in Deen, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood. So whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing hand-hold. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
18:29. And say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹This is˺ the truth from your Rabb. Whoever wills let them believe, and whoever wills let them disbelieve.” Surely We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls will ˹completely˺ surround them. When they cry for aid, they will be aided with water like molten metal, which will burn ˹their˺ faces. What a horrible drink! And what a terrible place to rest!.
42:51. It is not ˹possible˺ for a human being to have Allah communicate with them, except through inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger-angel to reveal whatever He wills by His permission. He is surely Most High, All-Wise.
76:3. We already showed them the Way, whether they ˹choose to˺ be grateful or ungrateful.]
2:119. We have surely sent you with the truth ˹O Prophet˺ as a deliverer of good news and a warner. And you will not be accountable for the residents of the Hellfire.
[13:40. Whether We show you ˹O Prophet˺ some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die ˹before that˺, your duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺. Judgment is for Us.
Jaheem = Blazing fire = Insurmountable Barrier to the development of the human ‘self’ = Figuratively, Hell. The human ‘self’ can make progress only by believing in the Divine System and accordingly helping Allah creations. Please see the author's note at the end of this rendition for an understanding of Self-actualization, Afterlife, Paradise and Hellfire]
2:120. Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith. Say, “Allah’s guidance is the only ˹true˺ guidance.” And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah.
[7:3. Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not take others as guardians besides Him. How seldom are you mindful!
10:109. And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until Allah passes His judgment. For He is the Best of Judges.
13:37. And so We have revealed it as an authority in Arabic. And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or shield you from Allah.*
It is not a matter of my religion or your religion. Al-Qur’an is the updated, unadulterated message from the same Creator Who revealed the previous scriptures]
2:121. Those to whom We gave the Book, they recite it as it truthfully deserves to be recited; they believe in it. As for those who disbelieve in it, they are the losers.
[10:58. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “In Allah’s grace and mercy let them rejoice. That is far better than whatever ˹wealth˺ they amass.”]
