TO ASSOCIATE NOTHING WITH ALLAH
Allah does not forgive anything being associated with Him but
He forgives whoever He wills for anything other than that. Anyone
who associates something with Allah has committed a terrible
crime. (Qur'an, 4:48)
It is He Who made the earth a couch for you, and the sky a dome.
He sends down water from the sky and by it brings forth fruits for
your provision. Do not, then, knowingly make others equal to
Allah. (Qur'an, 2:22)
Allah does not forgive anything being associated with Him but
He forgives whoever He wills for anything other than that. Anyone
who associates something with Allah has gone very far astray.
(Qur'an, 4:116)
When Luqman said to his son, counselling him, 'My son, do not
associate anything with Allah. Associating others with Him is a
terrible wrong.' (Qur'an, 31:13)

TO WORSHIP ALLAH ALONE
'Do not worship anyone but Allah! I am a warner and bringer of
good news to you from Him. (Qur'an, 11:2)
Worship none but Allah. I fear for you the punishment of a painful
day.' (Qur'an, 11:26)
Say: 'Do you worship, besides Allah, something which has no
power to harm or help you when Allah is the All-Hearing, the All-
Knowing?' (Qur'an, 5:76)
So do not call on any other god along with Allah or you will be
among those who will be punished. (Qur'an, 26:213)
Say, 'People of the Book! Come to a proposition which is the same
for us and you—that we should worship none but Allah and not
associate any partners with Him and not take one another as lords
besides Allah.' If they turn away, say, 'Bear witness that we are
Muslims.' (Qur'an, 3:64)
