SOME OF THE CAUSE AND EFFECT
RELATIONSHIPS MENTIONED
IN THE QUR'AN

You who believe! If you have fear of Allah, He will give you discrimination and erase your bad actions from you and forgive you. Allah's favour is indeed immense. (Qur'an, 8:29)

And when your Lord announced: "If you are grateful, I will certainly give you increase, but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe."' (Qur'an, 14:7)

O Prophet! Spur on the believers to fight. If there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those who do not believe, because they are people who do not understand. (Qur'an, 8:65)

He said, 'Go down from it, all of you, as enemies to one another! But when guidance comes to you from Me, all those who follow My guidance will not go astray and will not be miserable. (Qur'an, 20:123)

If something good happens to you, it galls them. If something bad strikes you, they rejoice at it. But if you are steadfast and guard against evil, their scheming will not harm you in any way. Allah encompasses what they do. (Qur'an, 3:120)

You who believe! You are only responsible for yourselves. The misguided cannot harm you as long as you are guided. All of you will return to Allah and He will inform you about what you were doing. (Qur'an, 5:105)

But if anyone turns away from My reminder, his life will be a dark and narrow one and on the Day of Rising We will gather him blind.' (Qur'an, 20:124)

Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves lest you lose heart and your momentum disappears. And be steadfast. Allah is with the steadfast. (Qur'an, 8:46)

We have never sent a Prophet to any city without seizing its people with hardship and distress so that hopefully they would be humble. (Qur'an, 7:94)

That is because Allah would never change a blessing He has conferred on a people until they had changed what was in themselves. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 8:53)

If only the people of the cities had believed and guard against evil, We would have opened up to them blessings from heaven and earth. But they denied the truth so We seized them for what they earned (Qur'an, 7:96)

Then when they have reached their deadline either retain them with correctness and courtesy or part from them with correctness and courtesy. Call two upright men from among yourselves as witnesses and they should carry out the witnessing for Allah. This is admonishment for all who believe in Allah and the Last Day. Whoever has fear of Allah—He will give him a way out, and provide for him from where he does not expect. Whoever puts his trust in Allah—He will be enough for him. Allah always achieves His aim. Allah has appointed a measure for all things. (Qur'an, 65:2-3)

In the case of those of your wives who are past the age of menstruation, if you have any doubt, their count is three months, and that also applies to those who have not yet menstruated.

That is Allah's command which He has sent down to you.Whoever has fear of Allah—He will erase his bad actions from him and greatly increase his reward. (Qur'an, 65:4-5)

Say: 'My Lord expands the provision of any of His servants He wills or restricts it. But anything you expend will be replaced by Him. He is the Best of Providers.' (Qur'an, 34:39)

NOBODY CAN BE FORCED
TO BE A MUSLIM

So remind them! You are only a reminder. You are not in control of them. (Qur'an, 88:21-22)

If your Lord had willed, all the people on the earth would have believed. Do you think you can force people to be believers? (Qur'an, 10:99)

We know best what they say.You are not a dictator over them.So remind, with the Qur'an, whoever fears My Threat. (Qur'an, 50:45)

There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. Right guidance has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false gods and believes in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 2:256)

But if they turn their backs, you are only responsible for clear transmission. (Qur'an, 16:82)

Say: 'Mankind! The truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever is guided is only guided for his own good. Whoever is misguided is only misguided to his detriment. I have not been set over you as a guardian.' (Qur'an, 10:108)

He frowned and turned away, because the blind man came to him. But how do you know? Perhaps he would be purified, or reminded, and the reminder benefit him. As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, you give him your complete attention, but it is not up to you whether or not he is purified. But as for him who comes to you eagerly, showing fearfulness, from him you are distracted. No indeed! Truly it is a reminder, and whoever wills pays heed to it. (Qur'an, 80:1-12)

THE QUR'AN COMMANDS PEOPLE
TO FORGIVE AND BE TOLERANT

Allah commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny. He warns you so that hopefully you will pay heed. (Qur'an, 16:90)

Correct and courteous words accompanied by forgiveness are better than charity followed by insulting words. Allah is Rich Beyond Need, All-Forbearing. (Qur'an, 2:263)

Whether you reveal a good act or keep it hidden, or pardon an evil act, Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Powerful. (Qur'an, 4:149)

Make allowances for people, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant. (Qur'an, 7:199)

The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But if someone pardons and puts things right, his reward is with Allah. Certainly He does not love wrongdoers. But if people do defend themselves when they are wronged, nothing can be held against them for doing that. There are only grounds against those who wrong people and act as tyrants in the earth without any right to do so.Such people will have a painful punishment. But if someone is steadfast and forgives,that is the most resolute course to follow. (Qur'an, 42:40-43)

Those, who avoid major wrong actions and indecencies and who, when they are angered, then forgive. (Qur'an, 42:37)
