TO JUDGE BY THE QUR'AN
'Am I to desire someone other than Allah as a judge when it is He
Who has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?' Those
We have given the Book know it has been sent down from your
Lord with truth, so on no account be among the doubters. (Qur'an,
6:114)
What is the matter with you? How do you reach your judgement?
(Qur'an, 37:154)
Bring your Book, then, if you are telling the truth! (Qur'an, 37:157)
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)
So hold fast to what has been revealed to you. You are on a straight
path. (Qur'an, 43:43)
TO BELIEVE AS SOON AS
ONE SEES THE TRUTH
Our Lord, we heard a caller calling us to faith: "Believe in your
Lord!" and we believed. Our Lord, forgive us our wrong actions,
erase our bad actions from us and take us back to You with those
who are truly good. (Qur'an, 3:193)
NEVER TO TURN TO DISBELIEF
AFTER BELIEVING
The believers are only those who have believed in Allah and His
Messenger and then have had no doubt and have strived with
their wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah. They are the ones
who are true to their word. (Qur'an, 49:15)
Do not try to excuse yourselves. You have become unbelievers
after believing. If one group of you is pardoned, another group
will be punished for being evildoers.' (Qur'an, 9:66)
