Verses 41–54 of 54
We have put forth For men, in this Qur-ān Every kind of Parable, In order that they May receive admonition.
Surah Az-Zumar, verse 39:27God puts forth a Parable— A man belonging to many Partners at variance with each other, And a man belonging entirely To one master: are those two Equal in comparison? Praise be to God! But most of them Have no knowledge.
Surah Az-Zumar, verse 39:29Shall We then Take away the Message From you and repel (you), For that ye are a people Transgressing beyond bounds?
Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 43:5When news is brought To one of them of (the birth Of) what he sets up As a likeness to (God) Most Gracious, his face Darkens, and he is filled With inward grief!
Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 43:17When (Jesus) the son Of Mary is held up As an example, behold, Thy people raise a clamour Thereat (in ridicule)!
Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 43:57And they say, "Are Our gods best, or he?" This they set forth To thee, only by way Of disputation: yea, they Are a contentious people.
Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 43:58This because those who Reject God follow vanities, While those who believe follow The Truth from their Lord: Thus does God set forth For men their lessons By similitudes.
Surah Muhammad, verse 47:3Therefore, when ye meet The Unbelievers (in fight), Smite at their necks; At length, when ye have Thoroughly subdued them, Bind a bond Firmly (on them): thereafter (Is the time for) either Generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down Its burdens. Thus (are ye Commanded): but if it Had been God's Will, He could certainly have exacted Retribution from them (Himself); But (He lets you fight) In order to test you, Some with others. But those who are slain In the way of God, He will never let Their deeds be lost.
Surah Muhammad, verse 47:4But how (will it be) When the angels take Their souls at death, And smite their faces And their backs?
Surah Muhammad, verse 47:27One Day will the Hypocrites Men and women—say To the Believers: "Wait For us! Let us borrow (A light) from your Light!" It will be said: "Turn Ye back to your rear! Then seek a light (where Ye can)!" So a wall Will be put up betwixt them, With a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy Throughout, and without it, All alongside, will be (Wrath and) Punishment!
Surah Al-Hadid, verse 57:13Had We sent down This Qur-ān on a mountain, Verily, thou wouldst have seen It humble itself and cleave Asunder for fear of God. Such are the similitudes Which We propound to men, That they may reflect.
Surah Al-Hashr, verse 59:21God sets forth, For an example To the Unbelievers, The wife of Noah And the wife of Lūṭ: They were (respectively) Under two of our righteous Servants, but they were False to their (husbands), And they profited nothing Before God on their account, But were told: "Enter ye The Fire along with (Others) that enter!"
Surah At-Tahrim, verse 66:10And God sets forth, As an example To those who believe, The wife of Pharaoh: Behold she said: "O my Lord! build For me, in nearness To Thee, a mansion In the Garden, And save me from Pharaoh And his doings, And save me from Those that do wrong";
Surah At-Tahrim, verse 66:11Thy Lord doth know That thou standest forth (To prayer) nigh two-thirds Of the night, or half The night, or a third Of the night, and so doth A party of those with thee. But God doth appoint Night And Day in due measure. He knoweth that ye are Unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (In mercy): read ye, Therefore, of the Qur-ān As much as may be Easy for you. He knoweth That there may be (some) Among you in ill-health; Others travelling through the land, Seeking of God's bounty; Yet others fighting In God's Cause. Read ye, Therefore, as much of the Qur-ān As may be easy (for you); And establish regular Prayer And give regular Charity; And loan to God A Beautiful Loan. And whatever good Ye send forth For your souls, Ye shall find it In God's Presence,— Yea, better and Greater, in Reward. And seek ye the Grace Of God: for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Surah Al-Muzzammil, verse 73:20
