You see many of them turning (in friendship) towards those who do not believe, evil is that which their souls have sent forth for them, (because of) that Allah is displeased with them and they will stay in the punishment.
And had they believed in Allah and the prophet and that which is sent down to him, they would not have taken them as friends, but many among them are transgressors.
You will definitely find the strongest in enemity among human beings, to those who believe, (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists; and you will definitely find the nearest in love to those who believe, (to be) those who say, “”We are Christians,”” that is because, among them are priests and monks and they do not consider themselves great. (P 6)
And when they hear that which is sent down to the messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of their recognition of the truth. They say, “”Our Fosterer! we believe, so write us down with those who bear witness.
And what (reason) do we have that we should not believe in Allah and in the truth that has come to us? And we hope that our Fosterer will make us enter with the righteous people.””
So Allah rewarded them, for that which they said, (with) gardens beneath which rivers flow, they will stay therein, and that is the reward of the doers of good.
And those who do not believe and deny Our signs, they are the inhabitants of hell. (R 11)
O you who believe! do not make unlawful, the good things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not exceed the limits, Allah certainly does not like those who exceed the limits.
And eat from lawful good things which Allah has provided for you, and fear Allah in Whom you are believers.
Allah will not catch you for that which is vain (unintentional) in your oaths, but He will catch you for the oaths with which you are earnestly tied up. Then for its expiation (so as to wipe off the ill effect of breaking such deliberate oaths you should) feed ten poor persons with the normal food with which you feed your own people or clothe them or set free a slave, but whoever does not find (the means to do any of the above three) then he should fast for three days. That is for the expiation of your oaths when you have sworn, but guard your oaths. Thus Allah makes clear to you His signs that you may be grateful.
O you who believe! intoxicants and games of chance and stones (set up around Kaaba for sacrificing animals, idols) and divining arrows * are only an uncleanliness from the devils work, so avoid it that you may be successful {2} [* Casting lots with arrows ]
The social and financial evils associated with alcohol and drugs are well known. Clinically manifest brain damage, in its various forms, associated with prolonged hazardous consumption of alcohol is about as common as alcoholic cirrhosis. Among those who drink hazardously there will be found a spectrum of cerebral function ranging from complete normality to utter derangement. In the case of the individual patient with alcohol related brain damage, the disturbance may be so severe that he or she is unable to function effectively as an independent being. (Alcohol drugs and brain damage, Ed. J.G. Rankin Addiction Research Foundation, Canada, 1975)
The only intention of the devil is to cause enemity and hatred to befall among you through intoxicants and games of chance, and to turn you away from Allahs remembrance and worship (salat). Will you then desist?
And obey Allah and obey the messenger and be cautious, then if you turn away, know that (the duty incumbent) on Our messenger is only clear conveyance (of the message).
There is no sin on those who believe and do righteous works in what they ate (in ignorance), when they (later) restrained (themselves from prohibited food) and believed and did righteous works, then restrained (themselves from evil) and again believed, then restrained (themselves from evil) and did good works and Allah likes the doers of good. (R 12)
O you who believe! Allah will definitely test you some what in respect of the game (Hunting animals) which your hands and your spears can reach, that Allah may know (mark out) him who fears Him without having seen Him; so whoever exceeds the limits after that, then for him there is a painful punishment.
O you who believe! do not kill the game while you are in the pilgrims dress, and whoever among you kills it intentionally, then the compensation (as fine for it) the like of what he killed of the cattle, decided by two just persons from among you, to be brought to Kaaba as an offering; or the expiation (of it) is the feeding of the poor or the equivalent of that is fasting, that he may taste the evil consequence of his affair (of disobedience). Allah has pardoned that which was done in the past but whoever returns (to it), Allah will inflict retribution on him, and Allah is Mighty, Inflicter of retribution.
Lawful to you is the game of the sea and its eating, a provision for you and for the travellers, and unlawful to you is the game of land as long as you are in the pilgrims dress, and fear Allah towards Whom you will be gathered.
Allah has made the Kaaba, the Sacred House, an establishment for human beings, and (also) the sacred month and the offerings and the victims with garlands, that is so, that you may know that Allah knows whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth and that Allah is the Knower of everything (Omniscient).
Know that Allah is severe in requiting (evil) and (also) that Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.
Nothing (is incumbent) on the messenger except the conveyance (of the message) and Allah knows that which you expose and that which you hide.
