QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)
2:256. There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes in Allah, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
[No compulsion in matters of Deen - This Rule shall have no exceptions since Right has been distinguished from Wrong.
2:148. And to each is a direction that he will take, so you shall race towards good deeds. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you all together. Allah is capable of all things.
2:193. And fight them so there is no more persecution, and so that the system is for Allah. If they cease, then there will be no aggression except against the wicked.
2:256. There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes in Allah, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
4:88. What is the matter with you that you are divided into two groups over the hypocrites, while Allah has regressed them for what they have earned? Do you want to guide those whom Allah misguides? Whoever Allah causes to be misguided, you will never find for him a path.
5:48. And We have sent down to you the Book with the truth, authenticating what is between your hands of the Book and superseding it. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down, and do not follow their desires from what has come to you of the truth. For each of you We have made laws, and a structure; and if Allah had willed, He would have made you all one nation, but He tests you with what He has given you; so strive to do good. To Allah you will return all of you, and He will inform you regarding that in which you dispute.
6:104. "Visible proofs have come to you from your Rabb; so whoever can see, does so for himself, and whoever is blinded, will be such. I am not a watcher over you."
6:107. And if Allah had willed, they would not have set up partners. And We did not place you over them as a guardian, nor are you over them as a sponsor.
7:177. Miserable is the example of the people who denied Our revelations, and it was their souls that they had wronged.
10:99. And had your Rabb willed, all the people on the earth in their entirety would have believed. Would you force the people to make them believe?
12:108. Say:"This is my way, I invite to Allah in full disclosure, myself and whoever follows me. And glory be to Allah; and I am not of the polytheists."
18:29. And say: "The truth is from your Rabb, so let whoever desires believe, and whoever desires reject." We have prepared for the wicked a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them. And if they cry out, they are given a water like boiling oil which burns their faces. What a dreadful drink and what a miserable place!
22:39. Permission has been given to those who are being fought - for they have been wronged. And Allah is able to give them victory.
27:80. You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and flee.
39:41. We have sent down to you the Book for the people with the truth. Then, whoever is guided is guided for himself, and whoever goes astray goes astray to his own loss. And you are not a keeper over them.
56:79. None can grasp it except those purified.
73:19. This is a reminder, so let he who wishes take a path to his Rabb.
8At-Taaghoot = Those who, in rebellion to the One True Allah, claim to have Divine powers or try to portray themselves as His representatives = Sufis, mystics, priesthood, clergy, tyrants. Tagha = Rebellion.
Idols of stones cannot rebel and therefore, they cannot be At-Taaghoot]
2:257. Allah is the ally of those who believe, He brings them out of the darkness and into the light. As for those who reject, their allies are the evil ones, they bring them out of the light and into the darkness; these are the people of the Fire, in it they will abide.
2:258. Have you not noted him who debated with Abraham regarding his Rabb, while Allah had given him a kingship? Abraham said: "My Rabb is the One who gives life and death," he said: "I bring life and death." Abraham said: "Allah brings the sun from the east, so you bring it from the west." The one who rejected was baffled! And Allah does not guide the wicked people.
2:259. Or the one who passed through a town which had become ruins. He said: "How can Allah possibly revive this after it had died?" So Allah put him to death for one hundred years, then He resurrected him. He said: "How long have you stayed here?" He said: "I have stayed here a day or part of a day." He said: "No, you have stayed here for one hundred years! Look at your food and drink, they have not changed, but look at your donkey! And We will make you a sign for the people; and look at the bones how We expand them, then We cover them with flesh." So when it was clear to him what happened, he said: "I now know that Allah is capable of all things!"
[Later on, came another king in the dynasty of Nimrods, his name, Nebuchadnezzar, 630-562 BC. He invaded Jerusalem, oppressed Israelites and enslaved them. One hundred years of tribulation passed before King Cyrus of Persia liberated them and reinstated them back in Jerusalem. This history bears a lesson for posterity]
2:260. And Abraham said: "My Rabb, show me how you resurrect the dead." He said: "Do you not already believe?" He said: "I do, but it is so my heart can be relieved." He said: "Choose four birds, then cut them, then place parts of the birds on each mountain, then call them to you; they will come racing towards you. And know that Allah is Noble, Wise."
2:261. The example of those who spend their money in the cause of Allah is like a seed that sprouts forth seven pods, in each pod there is one hundred seeds; and Allah multiplies for whoever He chooses, and Allah is Encompassing, Knowledgeable.
2:262. Those who spend their money in the cause of Allah, then they do not follow what they have spent with either insult or harm; they will have their recompense with their Rabb, there is no fear over them nor will they grieve.
[17:26. And give the relative his due, and the poor, and the wayfarer; and do not waste excessively.
30:38. So give the relative his due, and the poor, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the face of Allah, and they are the successful ones.
The society will return their generosity in this life as well]
2:263. Kind words and forgiveness are far better than a charity that is followed by harm. Allah is Rich, Compassionate.
2:264. O you who believe, do not nullify your charities with insult and harm; like the one who spends his money in vanity to show off to the people, and he does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. His example is like a stone on which there is dust, then it is subjected to a heavy rain which leaves it bare. They cannot do anything with what they have earned; and Allah does not guide the rejecting people.
2:265. And the example of those who spend their money seeking the grace of Allah, and to save their souls, is like the example of a garden that is on a high ground and is subjected to a heavy rain, and because of that it produces double its crop. And if no heavy rain comes, then it still gives enough. And Allah is Seer of what you do.
[They have achieved self-actualization and made themselves truly worthy of immortality
20:76. Gardens of delight, with rivers flowing beneath them, abiding therein. Such is the reward of he who is developed.
A ‘self’ that has not been developed by giving to community in wealth or labor, merely survives. Immortality is not a spontaneous gift from God; men and women are candidates for it
91:9. Successful is the one who betters it.
When people create their own Paradise it is ever-blooming, rain or shine.
13:33. It is He who is standing upon every soul for what it has earned; yet they set up partners with Allah. Say: "Name them?" Or are you informing Him of what He does not know on the earth or is it just a show of words? Indeed, to the rejecters, their scheming is made to appear pleasing, and they are repelled from the path. And whoever Allah misguides will have no guide.
14:17. He tries to drink it, but it cannot be swallowed, and death comes to him from everywhere, but he will not die; and from behind him is a powerful retribution.
43:77. And they called out: "O Malek, please let your Lord terminate us!" He will say: "No, you are remaining."
69:27. "I wish the end had been final,"]
