It is a Book sent down to you—so let there be no constriction in
            your breast because of it—so that you can give warning by it and
            as a reminder to the believers. (Qur'an, 7:2)
            Warn by it (the Qur'an) those who fear they will be gathered to
            their Lord, having no protector or intercessor apart from Him, so
            that hopefully they guard against evil. (Qur'an, 6:51)

            TO ABANDON THE PLACE
            WHERE THE QUR'AN IS BEING REJECTED
            It has been sent down to you in the Book that when you hear
            Allah's Signs being rejected and mocked at by people, you must
            not sit with them till they start talking of other things. If you do
            you are just the same as them. Allah will gather all the hypocrites
            and unbelievers into Hell (Qur'an, 4:140)

            TO BELIEVE IN THE UNSEEN
            That is the Book, without any doubt. It contains guidance for those
            who guard against evil: Those who believe in the Unseen and
            perform prayer and spend from what We have provided for them;
            (Qur'an, 2:2-3)

            TO BELIEVE IN THE PROPHETS
            The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from
            his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah and
            His angels and His Books and His Messengers. We do not
            differentiate between any of His Messengers. They say, 'We hear
            and we obey. Forgive us, our Lord! You are our journey's end.'
            (Qur'an, 2:285)
            You who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger and in the
            Book He sent down to His Messenger, and the Books He sent down
            before. Anyone who rejects Allah and His angels and His Books
            and His Messengers and the Last Day has gone very far astray.
            (Qur'an, 4:136)
