116 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

We have only ever sent before you men who were given Revelation
– ask the People of the Reminder if you do not know – who brought
Clear Signs and Revealed Books. And We have sent down the Re-
minder to you so that you can make clear to mankind what has been
sent down to them so that hopefully they will reflect. (Surat an-Nahl,
43-44)
And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and
conserving the previous Books. So judge between them by what Allah
has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires deviating
from the Truth that has come to you. We have appointed a law and a
practice for every one of you. Had Allah willed, He would have made
you a single community, but He wanted to test you regarding what
has come to you. So compete with each other in doing good. Every one
of you will return to Allah and He will inform you regarding the
things about which you differed. Judge between them by what Allah
has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires. And beware
of them lest they lure you away from some of what Allah has sent
down to you. If they turn their backs, then know that Allah wants to
afflict them with some of their wrong actions. Many of mankind are
deviators. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 48-49)
But as for those who believe and do right actions and believe in what
has been sent down to Muhammad –and it is the truth from their Lord
–He will erase their bad actions from them and better their condition.
(Surah Muhammad, 2)
Your companion is not misguided or misled; nor does he speak from
whim. It is nothing but Revelation revealed, taught him by one im-
mensely strong. (Surat an-Najm, 2-5)
The Prophet Muhammad (saas) is the Messenger of Allah
and the Last of the Prophets
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but the Messenger
of Allah and the Final Seal of the Prophets. Allah has knowledge of all
things. (Surat al-Ahzab, 40)
Any good thing that happens to you comes from Allah. Any bad thing
that happens to you comes from yourself. We have sent you to mankind
as a Messenger. Allah suffices as a Witness. (Surat an-Nisa', 79)
