​Welcome

Those who believe and do good deeds

are the best of beings.

The reward given to them by their Lord

will be gardens in Eden,

underneath of which are flowing rivers.

There they will live forever,

where God is pleased with them

and they are likewise pleased.

All this awaits whoever fears and serves the Lord.

 

 

98:7-8

 

When the earth quakes and bursts forth

in burning volcanoes,

people will ask, ‘What is the matter with the world?’

But on that Day, the earth will reveal

that God inspired her to do that.

Then people will be scattered

to see the results of the deeds they have done.

Whoever has done a good deed,

even as small as an atom,

will be rewarded;

and whoever has done a bad deed,

again even as small as an atom,

will be punished.

 

99:1-8

 

 

Do not be the instigator, the first to fight,

for God does not love such transgressors.

Rather, fight back in God’s way against

those who would fight with you.

 

2:190

 

 

Do not become miserly and self-destructive,

but rather spend charitably

in the way of God,

for God loves generous doers of good deeds.

 

2:195

 

 

To God belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth.

God forgives whomever He wills

and punishes whomever He wills.

Yet God is ever the Most Forgiving,

the Most Merciful.

 

3:129

 

Have [the nonbelievers] not reflected

upon the Kingdom of the heavens and earth

and everything in God’s creation?

Do they not know that their end may be near?

What other message is there for them to believe in?

 

7:185


Know that your wealth and your children

are part of your earthly trials,

[but that if you persevere in faith,]

God will reward you superbly.

 

O all you who believe!

If you become God-fearing,

God will grant you the wisdom

to judge between right and wrong,

and God will treat you gently

for your shortcomings

and forgive you.

God is the source of the greatest bounty.

 

8:28-29


[True] believers are those whose hearts tremble

when God is mentioned

and when His verses are recited to them.

These verses enhance their faith

and they trust fully in their Lord.

 

They also perform regular prayers

and spend their God-given wealth.

 

These are the true believers.

They are granted forgiveness,

high status and generous provision [in Paradise]

from their Lord.

 

8:2-4



Call on your Lord in a quiet and humble voice,

for God dislikes aggressive people.

And do not spread mischief on the earth

that God has set in order.

 

Call on your Lord reverently and hopefully,

remembering that His mercy

comes to those who seek to perfect their deeds.

 

7:55-56


After being saved by God,

those who were once in distress

continue committing sins on this earth.

 

O people!

Your transgressions will return to haunt you.

Remember, all of the wealth and success

you enjoy in this life

is only temporary,

for you all will finally return to Us

for a reckoning of everything you have done.

 

10:23


God guides whomever He wills

to the Straight Path of faith

and calls them to the House of Peace.

 

Those who perfect their good deeds

will receive the best rewards, and more.

Their faces will never be disfigured

with darkness or dust,

for they will dwell in Paradise forever.

 

As for those who accumulate

only sin and bad deeds,

they will be dealt with accordingly

and will be humiliated

and be given no protection

from God’s [punishment].

Their faces will turn dark as the night

and they will dwell in Hellfire forever.

 

10:25-27
