Verses 1–19 of 19
It is the wish of a section Of the People of the Book To lead you astray. But they shall lead astray (Not you), but themselves, And they do not perceive!
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:69A section of the People Of the Book say: "Believe in the morning What is revealed To the Believers, But reject it at the end Of the day; perchance They may (themselves) Turn back;
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:72Remember two of your parties Meditated cowardice; But God was their protector, And in God should the Faithful (Ever) put their trust.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:122After (the excitement) Of the distress, He sent down Calm on a band of you Overcome with slumber, While another band Was stirred to anxiety By their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions Of God—suspicions due To Ignorance. They said: "What affair is this of ours?" Say thou: "Indeed, this affair Is wholly God's." They hide In their minds what they Dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): "If we had had anything To do with this affair, We should not have been In the slaughter here." Say: "Even if you had remained In your homes, those For whom death was decreed Would certainly have gone forth To the place of their death"; But (all this was) That God might test What is in your breasts And purge what is In your hearts. For God knoweth well The secrets of your hearts.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:154They have "Obedience" On their lips; but When they leave thee, A section of them Meditate all night On things very different From what thou tellest them. But God records Their nightly (plots): So keep clear of them, And put thy trust in God, And enough is God As a disposer of affairs.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:81When thou (O Apostle) Art with them, and standest To lead them in prayer, Let one party of them Stand up (in prayer) with thee, Taking their arms with them: When they finish Their prostrations, let them Take their position in the rear. And let the other party come up Which hath not yet prayed— And let them pray with thee, Taking all precautions, And bearing arms: The Unbelievers wish, If ye were negligent Of your arms and your baggage, To assault you in a single rush. But there is no blame on you If ye put away your arms Because of the inconvenience Of rain or because ye are ill; But take (every) precaution For yourselves. For the Unbelievers God hath prepared A humiliating punishment.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:102But for the Grace of God To thee and His Mercy, A party of them would Certainly have plotted To lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only Lead their own souls astray, And to thee they can do No harm in the least. For God hath sent down To thee the Book and Wisdom And taught thee what thou Knewest not (before): And great is the Grace Of God unto thee.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:113Lest 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 6:156"And if there is a party Among you who believes In the Message with which I have been sent, and a party Which does not believe, Hold yourselves in patience Until God doth decide Between us: for He Is the best to decide."
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:87Behold! God promised you One of the two (enemy) parties, That it should be yours: Ye wished that the one Unarmed should be yours, But God willed To justify the Truth According to His words, And to cut off the roots Of the Unbelievers;—
Surah Al-Anfal, verse 8:7Make ye no excuses: Ye have rejected Faith After ye had accepted it. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you, For that they are in sin.
Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:66If, then, God bring thee back To any of them, and they ask Thy permission to come out (With thee), say: "Never shall ye Come out with me, nor fight An enemy with me: For ye preferred to sit Inactive on the first occasion: Then sit ye (now) With those who lag behind."
Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:83Nor should the Believers All go forth together: If a contingent From every expedition Remained behind, They could devote themselves To studies in religion, And admonish the people When they return to them,— That thus they (may learn) To guard themselves (against evil)
Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:122The woman and the man Guilty of adultery or fornication,— Flog each of them With a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you In their case, in a matter Prescribed by God, if ye believe In God and the Last Day: And let a party Of the Believers Witness their punishment.
Surah An-Nur, verse 24:2Truly Pharaoh elated himself In the land and broke up Its people into sections, Depressing a small group Among them: their sons he slew, But he kept alive their females: For he was indeed A maker of mischief.
Surah Al-Qasas, verse 28:4Behold! A party among them Said: "Ye men of Yathrib! Ye cannot stand (the attack)! Therefore go back!" And a band of them Ask for leave of the Prophet, Saying, "Truly our houses Are bare and exposed," though They were not exposed: They intended nothing but To run away.
Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 33:13If two parties among The Believers fall into A quarrel, make ye peace Between them: but if One of them transgresses Beyond bounds against the other, Then fight ye (all) against The one that transgresses Until it complies with The command of God; But if it complies, then Make peace between them With justice, and be fair: For God loves those Who are fair (and just).
Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 49:9O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of God: As said Jesus the son of Mary To the Disciples, "Who will be My helpers to (the work Of) God?" Said the Disciples, "We are God's helpers!" Then a portion of the Children Of Israel believed, and A portion disbelieved: But We gave power To those who believed, Against their enemies, And they became The ones that prevailed.
Surah As-Saf, verse 61:14Thy 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
