Page 120 - Learning from the Qur'an

Abandon those who have turned their religion into a game and a
diversion and who have been deluded by the life of this world.
Remind by it lest a person is delivered up to destruction for what
he has earned with no protector or intercessor besides Allah. Were
he to offer every kind of compensation, it would not be accepted
from him. Such people are delivered up to destruction for what
they have earned. They will have scalding water to drink and a
painful punishment because they did not believe. (Qur'an, 6:70)
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.
(Qur'an, 5:49)
Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to you the Book
which is recited to them? There is certainly a mercy and reminder
in that for people who believe. (Qur'an, 29:51)
Those who, when they are reminded of the Signs of their Lord,
do not turn their backs, deaf and blind to them; (Qur'an, 25:73)

THE QUR'AN INCREASES
THEIR FAITH AND THEIR FEAR OF ALLAH
Those are some of the Prophets Allah has blessed, from the
descendants of Adam and from those We carried with Nuh, and
from the descendants of Ibrahim and Isra'il and from those We
guided and chose. When the Signs of the All-Merciful were recited
to them they fell on their faces, weeping, in prostration. (Qur'an,
19:58)
Say: 'Believe in it or do not believe in it.' Certainly, when it is
recited to them, those who were given knowledge before it fall on
their faces in prostration, saying, 'Glory be to our Lord! The
promise of our Lord is truly fulfilled!' Weeping, they fall to the
ground in prostration, and it increases them in humility. (Qur'an,
17:107-109)
