Those, who believe in what has been sent down to you and what
           was sent down before you, and are certain about the hereafter.
           (Qur'an, 2:4)

           TO BELIEVE IN ALL OF THE QUR'AN
           Then you are the people who are killing one another and expelling
           a group among you from their homes, ganging up against them in
           wrongdoing and enmity. Yet if they are brought to you as captives,
           you ransom them, when it was forbidden for you to expel them in
           the first place! Do you, then, believe in one part of the Book and
           reject the other? What repayment will there be for any of you who
           do that except disgrace in this world? And on the Day of Rising,
           they will be returned to the harshest of punishments. Allah is not
           unaware of what you do. (Qur'an, 2:85)
           It is He Who sent down the Book to you from Him: verses
           containing clear judgements—they are the core of the Book—and
           others which are open to interpretation. Those with deviation in
           their hearts follow what is open to interpretation in it, desiring
           conflict, seeking its inner meaning. No one knows its inner
           meaning but Allah. Those firmly rooted in knowledge say, 'We
           believe in it. All of it is from our Lord.' But only people of
           intelligence pay heed. (Qur'an, 3:7)


           NEVER TO DOUBT  THE QUR'AN
           If you are in any doubt about what We have sent down to you,
           then ask those who were reciting the Book before you. The truth
           has come to you from your Lord, so on no account be one of the
           doubters. (Qur'an, 10:94)
           The truth is from your Lord, so on no account be among the
           doubters. (Qur'an, 2:147)
           The revelation of the Book, without any doubt of it, is from the
           Lord of the worlds. (Qur'an, 32:2)
