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)
