القاف والواو واللام أصل واحد صحيح يقل كلمه، وهو القول من النطق. يقال: قال يقول قولا. والمقول: اللسان. ورجل قولة وقوال: كثير القول. وأما أقوال......................
القول: الكلام على الترتيب، وهو عند المحقق كل لفظ قال به اللسان، تاما كان أو ناقصا، تقول: قال يقول قولا، والفاعل قائل، والمفعول مقول؛ قال سيبويه: واعلم أن قلت في كلام العرب إنما وقعت على أن تحكي بها ما كان كلاما لا قولا، يعني بالكلام الجمل كقولك زيد منطلق وقام زيد، ويعني بالقول الألفاظ المفردة التي يبنى الكلام منها…
Verses 241–260 of 1,321
They say: "What is In the wombs of Such and such cattle Is specially reserved (For food) for our men, And forbidden to our women; But if it is still-born, Then all have shares therein. For their (false) attribution (Of superstitions to God), He will soon punish them: For He is full Of wisdom and knowledge.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:139(Take) eight (head of cattle) In (four) pairs: Of sheep a pair, And of goats a pair; Say, hath He forbidden The two males, Or the two females, Or (the young) which the wombs Of the two females enclose? Tell me with knowledge If ye are truthful:
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:143Of camels a pair, And of oxen a pair; Say, hath He forbidden The two males, Or the two females, Or (the young) which the wombs Of the two females enclose?— Were ye present when God Ordered you such a thing? But who doth more wrong Than one who invents A lie against God, To lead astray men Without knowledge? For God guideth not People who do wrong
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:144Say: "I find not In the Message received By me by inspiration Any (meat) forbidden To be eaten by one Who wishes to eat it, Unless it be dead meat, Or blood poured forth, Or the flesh of swine,— For it is an abomination— Or, what is impious, (meat) On which a name has been Invoked, other than God's." But (even so), if a person Is forced by necessity, Without wilful disobedience, Nor transgressing due limits,— Thy Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:145If they accuse thee Of falsehood, say: "Your Lord is full Of mercy all-embracing; But from people in guilt Never will His wrath Be turned back.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:147Those who give partners (To God) will say: "If God had wished, We should not have Given partners to Him, Nor would our fathers; Nor should we have had Any taboos." So did Their ancestors argue Falsely, until they tasted Of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any (certain) Knowledge? If so, produce It before us. Ye follow Nothing but conjecture: Ye do nothing but lie."
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:148Say: "With God is the argument That reaches home: if it had Been His Will, He could Indeed have guided you all."
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:149Say: "Bring forward your witnesses To prove that God did Forbid so and so." If they Bring such witnesses, Be not thou amongst them: Nor follow thou the vain Desires of such as treat Our Signs as falsehoods, And such as believe not In the Hereafter: for they Hold others as equal With their Guardian-Lord.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:150Say: "Come, I will rehearse What God hath (really) Prohibited you from": join not Anything as equal with Him; Be good to your parents; Kill not your children On a plea of want;—We Provide sustenance for you And for them;—come not Nigh to shameful deeds, Whether open or secret; Take not life, which God Hath made sacred, except By way of justice and law: Thus doth He command you, That ye may learn wisdom.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:151And come not nigh To the orphan's property, Except to improve it, Until he attain the age Of full strength; give measure And weight with (full) justice;— No burden do We place On any soul, but that Which it can bear;— Whenever ye speak, speak justly, Even if a near relative Is concerned; and fulfil The Covenant of God: Thus doth He command you, That ye may remember.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:152Lest ye should say: "The Book was sent down To two Peoples before us, And for our part, we Remained unacquainted With all that they learned By assiduous study;"
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:156Or lest ye should say: "If the Book had only Been sent down to us, We should have followed Its guidance better than they." Now then hath come Unto you a Clear (Sign) From your Lord,—and a guide And a mercy: then who Could do more wrong Than one who rejecteth God's Signs, and turneth Away therefrom? In good time Shall We requite those Who turn away from Our Signs, With a dreadful penalty, For their turning away.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:157Are they waiting to see If the angels come to them, Or thy Lord (Himself), Or certain of the Signs Of thy Lord! The day that certain Of the Signs of thy Lord Do come, no good Will it do to a soul To believe in them then, If it believed not before Nor earned righteousness Through its Faith. Say: "Wait ye: we too Are waiting."
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:158Say: "Verily, my Lord Hath guided me to A Way that is straight,— A religion of right, The Path (trod) by Abraham The true in faith, And he (certainly) Joined not gods with God."
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:161Say: "Truly, my prayer And my service of sacrifice, My life and my death, Are (all) for God, The Cherisher of the Worlds:
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:162Say: "Shall I seek For (my) Cherisher Other than God, When He is the Cherisher Of all things (that exist)? Every soul draws the meed Of its acts on none But itself: no bearer Of burdens can bear The burden of another. Your goal in the end Is towards God: He will tell You the truth of the things Wherein ye disputed."
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:164When (thus) Our punishment Took them, no cry Did they utter but this: "Indeed we did wrong."
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:5It is We Who created you And gave you shape; Then We bade the angels Bow down to Adam, and they Bowed down; not so Iblīs; He refused to be of those Who bow down.
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:11(God) said: "What prevented Thee from bowing down When I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better Than he: Thou didst create Me from fire, and him from clay."
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:12(God) said: "Get thee down From this: it is not For thee to be arrogant Here: get out, for thou Art of the meanest (of creatures)."
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:13
