God will forgive the minor sins of those people who avoid great sins!



Verse 31 of Chapter 4
If you avoid the great sins which you are forbidden to do, We shall remit from you your (small) sins, and admit you to a Noble Entrance (i.e. Paradise).

 Verse 32 of Chapter 53
Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, And when ye are hidden in your mothers’ wombs. Therefore justify not yourselves: He knows best who it is that guards against evil.

The offspring who follow the footsteps of their parents in faith will be joined with them in Paradise even though the deeds of the former might not deserve that high rank!

However, no one will be punished for the deeds of others!




Verse 21 of Chapter 52

Those who have believed and their offspring also have followed in their footsteps in degrees of faith, We shall join to them those of their offspring also (in Paradise) and shall not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person is a pledge for what he has earned.

What will the dwellers of Paradise say to one another about their wordly lives?


 

Verses 25-28 of Chapter 52
They will turn to one another and ask (about their worldly lives). They will say, "Before this we lived among our kinsfolk, in fear and dread. Consequently, Allah has been bounteous to us and has saved us from the torment of the scorching wind. Indeed, we prayed only to Him in our previous life. Most surely He is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

What are the qualities that ultimately make a person worthy of Hell?

 

Verses 23-26 of Chapter 50
And his companion (angel) will say: "Here is (his record) ready with me!''. (Allah will say to the angels:) "Both of you throw into Hell every stubborn disbeliever''. "Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter,''. "Who set up another god with Allah. Then both of you cast him in the severe torment.''
None of the actions of a human being is left unrecorded!

 

Verses 16-18 of Chapter 50
And indeed We have created man, and We know what his self whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.(Remember) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being), one sitting on the right and one on the left. Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it).
Who is the most honorable person in the sight of God?


Verse 13 of Chapter 49
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

If two parties of believers fall to fighting, what will be the responsibility of other believers?


 

Verse 9 of Chapter 49
And if two parties among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both. But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which outrages till it complies with the command of Allah. Then if it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily, Allah loves those who are the equitable.

What is the similitude (likeness) of the true believers as also provided in the Taurat and in the Gospel?

 

Verse 29 of Chapter 48
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.

If given the power in the land, the hypocrites (under the status of muslims) do mischief and cut off the ties of kinship!


 

Verses 20-25 of Chapter 47
And those who believe say: Why has not a chapter been revealed? But when a decisive chapter is revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein you see those in whose hearts is a disease look to you with the look of one fainting because of death. Woe to them then! Obedience and a gentle word (was proper); but when the affair becomes settled, then if they remain true to Allah it would certainly be better for them. But if you held command, you were sure to make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship! Those it is whom Allah has cursed so He has made them deaf and blinded their eyes. Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Nay, on the hearts there are locks. Surely (as for) those who return on their backs after that guidance has become manifest to them, the Shaitan has made it a light matter to them; and He gives them respite.

What happens when the angels come to take away the lives of unbelievers (wrongdoers) during the time of their deaths? 


 


Verse 93 of Chapter 6
And who can be more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allah, or says: "I have received inspiration,'' whereas he is not inspired in anything; and who says, "I will reveal the like of what Allah has revealed.'' And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death, while the angels are stretching forth their hands (saying): "Deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with the torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against Allah other than the truth. And you used to reject His Ayat with disrespect!''

 Verses 49-51 of Chapter 8
When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was a disease (of disbelief) said: "These people (Muslims) are deceived by their religion.'' But whoever puts his trust in Allah, then surely, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. And if you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve (at death); they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): "Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire.'' "This is because of that which your hands forwarded. And verily, Allah is not unjust to His servants.''

Verses 27-28 of Chapter 47
Then how (will it be) when the angels will take their souls at death, striking their faces and their backs. That is because they followed that which angered Allah and hated what earns His pleasure, so He rendered their deeds worthless.

God sent Al-Quran for understanding!  


 



Verse 242 of Chapter 2
Allah thus makes clear to you His communications that you may understand.

 
Verse 3 of Chapter 43
We have made it a Qur’an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand (and learn wisdom).
 
Verse 58 of Chapter 44
Verily, We have made this (Qur’an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed.


Verse 17 of Chapter 54
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there anyone who will remember

Why does God like to give provisions abundantly to the unbelievers in this world?


 

Verses 33-35 of Chapter 43
And were it not that mankind would have become of one community, We would have provided for those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses, and elevators whereby they ascend. And for their houses, doors, and thrones on which they could recline. And adornments of gold. Yet all this would have been nothing but an enjoyment of this world. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for those who have Taqwa.

Why does God raise some of the people above the others in ranks?


 

Verse 32 of Chapter 43
Is it they who would portion out the mercy of your Lord. It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in this world, and We raised some of them above others in ranks, so that some may employ others in their work. But the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.

How should the believers react to any kind oppression or violence against themselves ?


 

Verses 36-43 of Chapter 42
Whatever ye are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this life: but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting: (it is) for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord: Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then forgive; Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer; who (conduct) their affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for Sustenance; And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) help and defend themselves. The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong. But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame. The blame is only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous. But indeed if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs.

Does God punish people in this word for some of their sins while forgiving for most of the sins?


 
Verses 32-34 of Chapter 42
And among His signs are the ships in the sea like mountains. If He wills, He causes the wind to cease, then they would become motionless on the surface (of the sea). Verily, in this are signs for everyone patient and grateful. Or He may destroy them because of that which their (people) have earned. And He pardons much.

What would happen if God gave His servants more provision than they need?


Verse 27 of Chapter 42
If Allah had given His provisions abundantly to all His servants, they would have rebelled in the earth, but He sends down in due measure what He wills. He is well informed of His servants and watches over them.

What would be the fate of those people who strive for the purpose of worldly gains, and never pay any heed to the Hereafter?


 

 
Verses 18-21 of Chapter 17
If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them – such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected. Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor with all due striving, and have Faith,- they are the ones whose striving is acceptable (to Allah). Of the bounties of thy Lord We bestow freely on all- These as well as those: The bounties of thy Lord are not closed (to anyone). See how We have bestowed more on some than on others; but verily the Hereafter is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence.


Verse 20 of Chapter 42
Whosoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, We give him increase in his reward, and whosoever desires the reward of this world, We give him thereof, and he has no portion in the Hereafter.
Does God guide towards Himself or the right pathway only those who are inclined to be guided?

 

Verse 13 of Chapter 42
The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah – the which We have sent by inspiration to thee – and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).

Who will be the owner of great happiness in this world and in the Hereafter?


 

Verses 33-35 of Chapter 41
Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, “I am of those who bow in Islam”? The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend. But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.

The ears, eyes and skins of the enemies of God will be given the power of speech on the Day of Judgement to testify against  them!


 

Verses 19-23 of Chapter 41
And imagine the time when the enemies of Allah will be gathered together to be driven to Hell. Their former generations will be withheld till their later generations also will join them. Then, when all will have reached there, their ears and their eyes and their very skins will bear witness against them concerning what they had been doing in this world. They will say to their skins. "Why have you borne witness against us?" They will reply, "The same God Who has given speech to everything has given us speech. He it is, Who created you in the first instance, and now to Him you are being brought back. When in the world you hid yourselves while committing crime, you never thought that your ears and your own eyes and your own skins would ever bear witness against you. Rather you thought that even Allah had no knowledge of many of your deeds. This same thought that you had concerning your Lord, has ruined you, and on the same count you have incurred loss.
