P. 65
You who believe! fulfil your contracts. All livestock animals are
lawful for you, except those that are recited to you now; but it is
still not lawful to hunt while you are in pilgrim dress. Allah makes
whatever judgements He wills. (Qur'an, 5:1)
Say: 'I stand on a Clear Sign from my Lord and yet you have denied
it. I do not have in my possession what you are in such haste to
bring about. Jurisdiction over it belongs to Allah alone. He tells the
truth and He is the Best of Deciders.' (Qur'an, 6:57)
Do they not see how We come to the land eroding it at its
extremities. Allah judges and there is no reversing His judgement.
He is swift at reckoning. (Qur'an, 13:41)
'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)
HE IS THE GRACIOUS ONE
Their Messengers said to them, 'We are nothing but human beings
like yourselves. But Allah shows favour to any of His servants He
wills. It is not for us to bring you an authority except by Allah's
permission. So let the believers put their trust in Allah. (Qur'an,
14:11)
He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried
to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Man is
indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful. (Qur'an, 14:34)
Allah is very gentle with His servants. He provides for anyone
He wills. He is the Most Strong, the Almighty. (Qur'an, 42:19)
HE ACCEPTS REPENTANCE
But to those who do evil in ignorance and then after that repent
and put things right, to them your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (Qur'an, 16:119)
