Goal & Mission of the Holy Qur’an

“(O Prophet) … A Book which We have revealed unto you so that you might lead humankind out of the depths of darkness into light – by the leave of their Lord – to the Way of (Him) the Exalted in power, worthy of all praise!” (14:1)

The Qur’an has a profound purpose: to enlighten humanity and provide a true understanding of Allah (SWT) and the reasons behind His creations. Its teachings aim to guide individuals toward the path of righteousness, fulfilling their spiritual, social, and cultural needs. By following the Qur’anic knowledge, people can attain peace and success in both this world and the Hereafter.

The mission of the Qur’an can be summarized as follows:

1. Guiding humanity to fulfill their responsibilities as representatives of Allah (SWT) on Earth, recognizing the purpose for which they were created. (6:165), (17:9), (81:27 – 28)

2. Proclaiming and establishing the universal truth of Allah’s (SWT) unity and His absolute sovereignty over all His creations. (2:255), (37:4 – 5), (112:1 – 4)

3. Establishing the rights of Allah (Haqqullah) and the rights of His creatures (Haqqul Ibad) to achieve peace, harmony, and justice in human society.

4. Establishing Islam as the comprehensive way of life for humanity, providing guidance from the Qur’an to shape their worldly affairs and attain ultimate success in the Hereafter.

5. Cultivating spirituality and morality in individuals to protect them from the temptations of evil.

6. Warning those who are ignorant and heedless, immersed solely in worldly pursuits, to redirect their focus to the eternal life of the Hereafter. Additionally, the Qur’an provides glad tidings of eternal rewards for those who believe and live righteously. (10:57 – 58), (36:5 – 6)

7. Constructing a just and equitable global order based on divine guidance.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَکُمْ بُرْهَانٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّکُمْ وَاَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْکُمْ نُوْرًا مُّبِیْنًا ۝ فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَاعْتَصَمُوْا بِہٖ فَسَیُدْخِلُهُمْ فِیْ رَحْمَۃٍ مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلٍ ۙ وَیَہْدِیْهِمْ اِلَیْهِ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِیْمًا۝

“O mankind! Surely there has come to you a convincing proof from your Lord: For We have sent unto you a light (that is) manifest. Then those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him, – soon He will admit them to His mercy and His grace, and guide them towards Himself by a straight path.” (4:174 – 175)

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَتْکُمْ مَّوْعِظَۃٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّکُمْ وَشِفَآءٌ لِّمَا فِی الصُّدُوْرِ ۬ۙ وَهُدًی وَرَحْمَۃٌ  لِّلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۝ قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِہٖ فَبِذٰلِكَ فَلْیَفْرَحُوْا ؕ هُوَ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ۝

“O mankind! There has come to you a direction (Qur’an) from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts, and for those who believe, (it is) a guidance and a Mercy. Say (O Prophet): ‘In the bounty of Allah. And in His Mercy, – in that let them rejoice, that is better than the (knowledge and wealth) they hoard.” (10:57 – 58)

اِنَّ اِلٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ۝ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشٰرِقِ۝

“Verily, your Allah is one – Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!” (37:4 – 5)

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ اَلْحَیُّ الْقَیُّوْمُ ۬ۚ لَا تَاْخُذُہٗ سِنَۃٌ وَّ لَا نَوْمٌ ؕ لَہٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ

“Say (O Prophet): He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, entirely Independent (free of all needs); He begets not, nor was He begotten; And there is none comparable to Him.” (112:1 – 4)

تَنْزِيْلَ الْعَزِيْزِ الرَّحِيْمِ ۝ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ اُنْذِرَ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غٰفِلُوْنَ ۝

“It is a Revelation sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful, so that you may admonish a people, whose forefathers had received no admonition, and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of Allah).” (36:5 – 6)

قُوْلُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْنَا وَمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلٰۤی اِبْرٰہٖمَ  وَ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَ اِسْحٰقَ وَیَعْقُوْبَ وَالْاَسْبَاطِ وَمَاۤ اُوْتِیَ مُوْسٰی وَعِیْسٰی وَمَاۤ اُوْتِیَ النَّبِیُّوْنَ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ ۚ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَیْنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ ۫ۖ  وَنَحْنُ لَہٗ مُسْلِمُوْنَ۝

“(O Muhammad ﷺ) Say, ‘we believe in Allah and in the Revelation given to us, and to Ibrahim, Isma’il, Ishaq, Yaqoob and the Tribes. We believe in the Revelation that was sent to Musa, Isa and all other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between them, and to Him we surrender.” (2:136).

وَاَنْزَلَ الْفُرْقَانَ ۬ؕ  اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِیْدٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ ذُو انْتِقَامٍ۝

“….. He sent down the Criterion (Qur’an). Those who have indeed rejected Faith the Signs of Allah will suffer a severe penalty, and Allah is Exalted in Might, Lord of Retribution.” (3:2 – 4)

“Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (of Judgement, i.e., right or wrong) to His servant (Muhammad ﷺ), that he may be a warner to the people of the universe.” (25:1)

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝ لِمَنْ شَآءَ مِنْكُمْ اَنْ يَّسْتَقِيْمَ ۝

“Indeed this (Qur’an) is a great Message to (all people of) the Worlds; (beneficial) for those who amongst you wish to lead (themselves) to straight path.” (81:27 – 28)

اِنَّآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ ^ۚ  فَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَلِنَفْسِه ^ۚ  وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ^ۚ  وَمَآ اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَكِيْلٍ۝

“Certainly, We have revealed the Book to you in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. Then whoever receives guidance benefits his own soul: whoever goes astray, injures his own soul. Nor you are set over them as custodian.” (39:41)

قُلْ نَزَّلَه رُوْحُ الْقُدُسِ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهُدًى وَّبُشْرٰى لِلْمُسْلِمِيْنَ۝

“(O Prophet) Say, the Holy Angel (Jibreel ) has brought the Revelation from your Lord in Truth, in order to make the believers steadfast (on their Imaan), and as a Guide and Glad Tidings for Muslims.” (16:102)

اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ يَهْدِىْ لِلَّتِىْ هِىَ اَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا كَبِيْرًا۝

“Surely this Qur’an does guide to that which is the straightest (most right path), and gives the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward.” (17:9)

وَمَآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ اِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِىْ اخْتَلَفُوْا فِيْهِ ^لا وَهُدًى وَّرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۝

“And We sent down the Book only to you so that you may explain to make them clear of those things in which they differ, and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe.” (16:64)

 

The Qur’an: Guiding Principle for Muslim Ummah

“Surely, this Qur’an guides to the straightest path and disseminates the good news to the believers who do good deeds that they shall have a great reward.” (17:9)

The Qur’an serves as the comprehensive guide for the Muslim Ummah, providing a code of life based on essential guiding principles, as outlined below:

1. The primary and foundational principle of the Qur’an is Imaan (Faith) and A’mal (good deeds). It encompasses the six Articles of Faith and the five pillars of Islam, which are fundamental principles derived from the Qur’an and Hadith.

2. The principle of ‘Tawheed’ (Oneness of Allah) holds utmost importance, affirming that Allah (SWT) is the only worthy deity and that sincere and devoted worship should be directed solely towards Him.

3. ‘Taqwa’ (God-consciousness) in this life and the concept of being held accountable to Almighty Allah on the Day of Judgment are essential principles that guide Muslims towards the righteous path of Allah (SWT).

4. The Qur’an establishes the principle of judging human worth based on piety and good deeds in the sight of Almighty Allah.

5. The Qur’an upholds the principle of justice and equity for all, rejecting any form of discrimination based on race, color, gender, ethnicity, or wealth.

6. The Qur’an prescribes the principle of enjoining good and forbidding evil, encouraging Muslims to promote virtue and prevent wrongdoing.

7. The Qur’an emphasizes the principles of humanity and goodwill, fostering positive changes in human behavior and conduct.

8. The Qur’an guides Muslims to adopt moderation and avoid extremes in both their worldly and religious lives.

The fundamental principles of Islam are firmly rooted in the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. Allah (SWT) states, “Verily in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example” (33:30), and “Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment” (33:71). As a result, Muslims are required to adhere to the practices of the Prophet (Sunnah). Additionally, avenues such as Izma (consensus), Qiyaas (analogical reasoning), and Ijtehaad (independent research) of Islamic scholars are utilized to derive opinions on matters not explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Allah (SWT) commands, “O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you” (4:59).

Verses related to the above topic are quoted below:

لِکُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنْکُمْ شِرْعَۃً وَّ مِنْهَاجًا ؕ وَ لَوْ  شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَکُمْ اُمَّۃً وَّاحِدَۃً  وَّ لٰكِنْ  لِّیَبْلُوَکُمْ فِیْ مَاۤ اٰتٰىکُمْ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَیْرٰتِ ؕ اِلَی اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُکُمْ جَمِیْعًا فَیُنَبِّئُکُمْ بِمَا کُنْتُمْ  فِیْهِ  تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ

“….. To each among you have we prescribed a Shariah law and a set way (a code of life according to which lives are led). If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah. it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute.” (5:48)

ذٰلِكَ الْكِتٰبُ لَا رَیْبَ ۚۖۛ فِیْهِ ۚۛ هُدًی لِّلْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۝ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْغَیْبِ وَیُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوۃَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ ۝ وَالَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ وَمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ^ج وَبِالْاٰخِرَۃِ هُمْ یُوْقِنُوْنَ ۝ اُولٰٓئِكَ عَلٰی هُدًی مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ ^ق وَاُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ۝

“This is the Book; without doubt, surely there is guidance in it for those who fear Allah – who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them; and those who believe in the Revelations sent to you, and sent before your time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter. They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will surely succeed.” (2:2 – 5)

یٰبَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ اِمَّا یَاْتِیَنَّکُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْکُمْ یَقُصُّوْنَ عَلَیْکُمْ اٰیٰتِیْ ۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقٰی وَاَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ ۝ وَالَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَاسْتَکْبَرُوْا عَنْهَاۤ اُولٰٓئِكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۝

“O you Children of Adam! Whenever there come to you apostles from amongst you, rehearsing My signs unto you, – those who are righteous and mend (their lives), – on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve. But those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance, – they are companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (forever).” (7:35 – 36)

شَهِدَ اللهُ انَّه لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَةُ وَاُوْلُوْا الْعِلْمِ قَاۤئِمًۢا بِالْقِسْطِ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ۝

“Allah witnesses that there is none worthy of worship but He; (Also do witness are) His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm in justice. There is none to be worshipped but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.” (3:18)

كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ اُمَّةٍ اُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللهِ  _ط…… ۝

“You are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah……” (3:110)

وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۘ یَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَیَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَیُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوۃَ وَیُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّکٰوۃَ وَیُطِیْعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَہٗ ؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ سَیَرْحَمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝

“The believing men and believing women are friends of one another. They advocate virtue, forbid evil, perform the prayers, practice charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. These – on whom Allah will have mercy. Allah is Noble and Wise.” (9:71)

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا کُوْنُوْا قَوّٰمِیْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلّٰهِ وَلَوْ عَلٰۤی اَنْفُسِکُمْ اَوِ الْوَالِدَیْنِ وَالْاَقْرَبِیْنَ ۚ اِنْ یَّکُنْ غَنِیًّا اَوْ فَقِیْرًا فَاللّٰهُ اَوْلٰی بِهِمَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوٰۤی اَنْ تَعْدِلُوْا ۚ وَاِنْ تَلْوٗۤا اَوْ تُعْرِضُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرًا ۝

“O Believers!  Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it is against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin – either rich or poor, Allah is a better Protector to both (than you). So, follow not your lusts, lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witnesses or bypass it, verily, Allah is ever well aware of what you do.” (4:135)

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنٰكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّسَطًا لِّتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيْدًا۝

“Thus, have We made of you an Ummah justly balanced, that you might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves.” (2:143)

وَاعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُشْرِکُوْا بِہٖ شَیْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًا وَبِذِی الْقُرْبٰی وَالْیَتٰمٰی وَالْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَالْجَارِ ذِی الْقُرْبٰی وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالْجَنْۢبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِیْلِ ۙ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُکُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُوْرَا ۝

“Worship Allah, and ascribe no partners to Him, and be good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the neighbor next door, and the distant neighbor, and the close associate, and the traveler, and your slaves. Allah does not love the arrogant showoff.” (4:36)

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَاْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَ الْاِحْسَانِ وَ اِیْتَآیِٔ ذِی الْقُرْبٰی وَ یَنْهٰی عَنِ الْفَحْشَآءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْیِ ۚ یَعِظُکُمْ  لَعَلَّکُمْ  تَذَكَرُوْنَ ۝

“Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and generosity to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and transgression: He instructs you, that you may receive admonition.” (16:90)

اِنَّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ يَهْدِىْ لِلَّتِىْ هِىَ اَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا كَبِيْرًا۝

“Surely this Qur’an does guide to that which is the straightest (most right path), and gives the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward.” (17:9)

لَیْسَ الْبِرَّ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا وُجُوْهَکُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَالْمَلٰٓئِكَۃِ وَالْكِتٰبِ وَالنَّبِیّٖنَ ۚ وَاٰتَی الْمَالَ عَلٰی حُبِّہٖ ذَوِی الْقُرْبٰی وَالْیَتٰمٰی وَالْمَسٰكِیْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِیْلِ ۙ وَالسَّآئِلِیْنَ وَفِی الرِّقَابِ ۚ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوۃَ وَاٰتَی الزَّکٰوۃَ ۚ وَالْمُوْفُوْنَ بِعَہْدِهِمْ اِذَا عٰهَدُوْا ۚ وَالصّٰبِرِیْنَ فِی الْبَاْسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَحِیْنَ الْبَاْسِ ؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا ؕ وَاُولٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ ۝

“It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards east or west; but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your wealth, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which you have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the righteous.” (2:177)

Peoples’ Perceptions of the Holy Qur’an  

The Holy Qur’an, as the divine Book of Allah (SWT), was revealed as a guide for all of humanity. It urges individuals to contemplate its verses and messages with profound understanding and insight. However, people’s perceptions of the Qur’an vary greatly. Individuals of different faiths hold diverse perspectives regarding its messages. Believers assess the Qur’an’s message in accordance with their Imaan (faith), finding profound meaning and guidance within its teachings. On the other hand, unbelievers dismiss and disregard the advice of the Qur’an due to their disbelief, arrogance, and ignorance. The perceptions of both groups of people about the Qur’an are cited in the following verses:

وَ اِذَا یُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِہٖۤ اِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّنَاۤ اِنَّا کُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِہٖ مُسْلِمِیْنَ ۝

“And when it (Qur’an) is recited to them, they say: ‘We believe therein, for it is the Truth from our Lord: indeed, we have been Muslims (bowing to Allah’s Will) from before this’.” (28:53)

وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اِفْکُ افْتَرٰىهُ وَاَعَانَہٗ عَلَیْهِ قَوْمٌ  اٰخَرُوْنَ ۚۛ فَقَدْ جَآءُوْ ظُلْمًا وَ زُوْرًا ۝ وَقَالُوْۤا اَسَاطِیْرُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ اکْتَتَبَهَا فَهِیَ تُمْلٰی عَلَیْهِ بُکْرَۃً  وَاَصِیْلًا ۝

“But the unbelievers say: ‘Nothing is this but a lie which he (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) has forged, and others have helped him at it.’ Indeed, it is they who have put forward an injustice and a falsehood. And they say: ‘Fables of the ancient time, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening.” (25:4 – 5)

اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِىْ غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ۝ مَا يَاْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ مُّحْدَثٍ اِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوْهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ۝ لَاهِيْةً قُلُوْبُهُمْ _ط وَاَسَرُّوْا النَّجْوَى الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا هَلْ هٰذَۤا اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ اَفَتَاْتُوْنَ السِّحْرَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ۝ قَالَ رَبِّىْ يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِى السَّمَآءِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ۝ بَلْ قَالُوْۤا اَضْغٰثُ اَحْلٰمٍۢ بَلِ افْتَرٰىهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَاْتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٍ كَمَاۤ اُرْسِلَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ ۝

“The Time of Reckoning (Day of Judgement) is coming closer to mankind: yet they are turning away heedlessly. Whenever there comes to them a renewed Message from their Lord, but they listen to it as in jest, – their hearts remain full of fun with trifles. The wrongdoers secretly confer, (saying), ‘Is he not a man like yourselves? Will you go to magic with your eyes open?’ Say: ‘My Lord knows (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth: He is the One that hears and knows (all things). Rather, they say, ‘(this is) an empty dream! – Truly, he forged it! – Nay, He is (but) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to earlier (Prophets)’!” (21:1 – 5)

وَقَالَ الرَّسُوْلُ يٰرَبِّ اِنَّ قَوْمِىْ اتَّخَذُوْا هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ مَهْجُوْرًا۝

“Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur’an as discarded’.” (25:30)

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَىُّ الْفَرِيْقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَّاَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا ۝ وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ هُمْ اَحْسَنُ اَثٰثًا وَّرِءْيًا ۝

“When Our Clear Signs are recited to them, the unbelievers say to those who believe, ‘which of the two groups is greater in rank and which has a better council?’ But before them have we destroyed how many (countless) generations, who were even better in resource and in showoff?” (19:73 – 74)

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ مَّاذَآ اَنْزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۙ قَالُوْٓا اَسٰطِيْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝ لِيَحْمِلُوْٓا اَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَّوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وَمِنْ اَوْزَارِ الَّذِيْنَ يُضِلُّوْنَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ _ج اَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُوْنَ ۝

“When it is said to them (unbelievers), ‘what is it that your Lord has revealed? – they say, ‘Tales of the ancients!’ Let them bear, on the Day of Judgement, their own burdens in full, and also (something) of the burdens of those without knowledge, whom they misled. Alas, how grievous the burdens they will bear!” (16:24 – 25)

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالُوْا مَا هٰذَۤا اِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ وَقَالُوْا مَا هٰذَۤا اِلَّآ اِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًى ^ج وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ اِنْ هٰذَۤا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ۝

“When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, they (unbelievers) say, ‘This is the man (the Prophet ﷺ) who wishes to deter you from the (worship) which your fathers practiced.’ And they say, ‘This is nothing but a fabricated falsehood!’ and when the Truth comes to the unbelievers, then they say, ‘This is merely an evident magic’!” (34:43)

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ اٰمِنُوْا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللهُ قَالُوْا نُؤْمِنْ بِمَآ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرُوْنَ بِمَا وَرَآءَه وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُوْنَ اَنْۢبِيَآءَ اللهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ۝

“When it is said to them, ‘Believe in what Allah Has sent down,’ they say, ‘We believe in what was sent down to us’: yet they reject all besides that, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say: ‘Why then have you slain the prophets of Allah of bygone days, if you did indeed believe?” (2:91)

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ تَعْرِفُ فِىْ وُجُوْهِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا الْمُنكَرَ ^ط يَكَادُوْنَ يَسْطُوْنَ بِالَّذِيْنَ يَتْلُوْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَا ^ط

“When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, you will notice a sign of disapproval on the faces of the unbelievers! They become almost violent towards those who recite Our Signs to them; …..” (22:72)

بَلْ كَذَّبُوْا بِمَا لَمْ يُحِيْطُوْا بِعِلْمِه وَلَمَّا يَاْتِهِمْ تَاْوِيْلُه^ط كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عٰقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۝ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يُّؤْمِنُ بِهوَمِنْهُم مَنْ لَّا يُؤْمِنْ بِه ^ط وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ۝

“Indeed, they imposed falsehood on that matter which they could not grasp by their knowledge, even before the explanation thereof has reached them: thus, those before them falsified that too: But see what the end result of those who did wrong was! Of them there are some who believe therein (in Qur’an), and some who do not: and your Lord knows best those who are mischievous.” (10:39 – 40)

وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَاِنَّا بِه كٰفِرُوْنَ ۝ وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنُ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ مِّنَ القَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيْمٍ ۝

“But when the Truth came to them, they said: ‘This is sorcery, and we do reject it.’ Also, they say: ‘Why is not this Qur’an sent down to some leading man in either of the two (chief) cities?” (43:30 – 31)

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَسْمَعُوْا لِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَالْغَوَا فِيْهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُوْنَ۝ فَلَنُذِيْقَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًا وَّلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ اَسْوَاَ الَّذِىْ كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝

“The unbelievers say: ‘Listen not to this Qur’an, but talk at random in the midst of its (recitation), that you may gain the upper hand!’ But We will certainly give the unbelievers a taste of a severe Penalty, and We will repay them for the worst of their deeds.” (41:26 – 27)

يَسْمَعُ اٰيٰتِ اللهِ تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَاَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ۝ وَاِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ اٰيٰتِنَا شَيْـًٔا اتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًا ^ط اُوْلٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌ۝

“He hears the Signs of Allah rehearsed to him, yet is obstinate and lofty, as if he had not heard them: then announce to him a Penalty Grievous! And when he learns something of Our Signs, he takes them in jest: for such there will be a humiliating Penalty.” (45:8 – 9)

وَاِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُنَا بَيِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ۝ اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرَىٰهُ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَلَا تَمْلِكُوْنَ لِىْ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْـًٔا هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيْضُوْنَ فِيْهِ كَفَىٰ بِه شَهِيْدًۢا بَيْنِىْ وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيْمُ ۝

“When Our Clear Signs are recited to them, then after coming of the Truth to them the unbelievers say: ‘This is an evident sorcery!’ Or do they say, ‘He (Prophet ﷺ) has forged it?’ Say: ‘Had I forged it, then can you obtain no single (blessing) for me from Allah. He knows best of that whereof you talk (so superficially)! Enough is He (Allah) for a witness between me and you! And He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful’.” (46:7 – 8)

وَاِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْاٰنُ لَا يَسْجُدُوْنَ ۩۝ بَلِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُكَذِّبُوْنَ۝ وَاللهُ اعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوْعُوْنَ۝ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ۝ اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوْا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ اَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُوْنٍ۝

“And when the Qur’an is read to them, they fall not prostrate, but on the contrary the unbelievers impose falsehood (to it). But Allah has full knowledge of what they conceal (in their breasts). So, (you) announce to them a Penalty Grievous, except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.” (84:21 – 25) [Ayah of Sajadah)

وَاِنْ يَّكَادُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَيُزْلِقُوْنَكَ بِاَبْصٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوْا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ اِنَّه لَمَجْنُوْنٌ

“And the unbelievers would almost tumble you with their gazes when they hear the Message; and they say: ‘Surely, he is possessed’!” (68:51)

وَاِذَا مَاۤ اُنْزِلَتْ سُوْرَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّقُوْلُ اَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هٰذِه اِيْمٰنًا فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فَزَادَتْهُمْ اِيْمٰنًا وَّهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ۝ وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ فِىْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا اِلٰى رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوْا وَهُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ۝

“Whenever a Surah is revealed, some of them (unbelievers) say: ‘How much of your belief is increased by it amongst you?’ Yea, those who believe, – their faith is increased and they do rejoice. But those in whose hearts are a disease, – it will add vices upon their vices, and they will die in a state of disbelief.” (9:124 – 125)

وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَّسْتَمِعُ اِلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَّفْقَهُوْ هُوَ فِىْ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا كُلَّ اٰيَةٍ لَّايُؤْمِنُوْا بِهَا حَتّٰى اِذَاجَآءُوْكَ يُجٰدِلُوْنَكَ يَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِنْ هٰذَا اِلَّاۤ اَسٰطِيْرُالْاَوَّلِيْنَ ۝ وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْـَٔوْنَ عَنْهُ وَاِنْ يُّهْلِكُوْنَ اِلَّا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ۝

“Of them (unbelievers) there are some who (pretend to) listen to you; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, Lest they should understand it, and deafness in their ears; even if they see every one of the signs, they will not believe in them; insomuch that when they come to you, they (but) dispute with you; the unbelievers say: ‘These are nothing but tales of the ancients.’ they keep others away from it, and themselves they keep away, but they only destroy their own souls, and they perceive it not.” (6:25 – 26)

وَاِذَا بَدَّلْنَاۤ اٰيَةً مَّكَانَ اٰيَةٍ _لا وَّاللهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُفْتَرٍۭ _ط بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝

“And when We replace one verse with another, – and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages), – they (unbelievers) say, ‘you are but a forger’: but most of them understand not.” (16:101)

وَمَا قَدَرُوْا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِه اِذْ قَالُوْا مَآ اَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلٰى بَشَرٍ مِّنْ شَىْءٍ^ط قُلْ مَنْ اَنْزَلَ الْكِتٰبَ الَّذِىْ جَآءَبِه مُوْسٰى نُوْرًا وَّهُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ تَجْعَلُوْنَه قَرَاطِيْسَ تُبْدُوْنَهَا وَتُخْفُوْنَ كَثِيْرًا ^ج وَّعُلِّمْتُمْ مَّا لَمْ تَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنْتُمْ وَلَاۤاٰبَآؤُكُمْ ^ط قُلِ اللهُ ^لا ثُمَّ ذَرْهُمْ فِىْ خَوْضِهِمْ يَلْعَبُوْنَ۝

“They (unbelievers) could not assess (power) of Allah as it should be when they said: ‘Nothing did Allah reveal to man.’ Say: ‘Who then sent down the Book which Musa brought as a light and guidance to people’: But you make it into (separate) sheets to show (others), while you conceal much (of its contents): therein you were taught many things which neither you nor your fathers knew.’ Say: ‘Allah (sent it down)’: Then leave them to plunge in vain full of funny things.” (6:91)

وَيَرَى الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوْا الْعِلْمَ الَّذِىۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ هُوَ الْحَقَّ وَيَهْدِىۤ اِلٰى صِرٰطِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَمِيْدِ ۝ وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا هَلْ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ يُنَبِّئُكُمْ اِذَا مُزِّقْتُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ اِنَّكُمْ لَفِىْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ ۝

“And those who are knowledgeable (with previous scriptures) has come see that the (Revelation) sent down to you from your Lord – that is the Truth, and that it guides to the Path of the Exalted (in might), Worthy of all praise. The unbelievers say (in ridicule): ‘Shall we show you a man who will tell you, when you are all turned into dust in complete fragmentation, that you shall (then be raised) as a New Creation’?” (34:6 – 7)

وَقِيْلَ لِلَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا مَاذَآ اَنْزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۚ قَالُوْا خَيْرًا ^ج لِّلَّذِيْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا فِىْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۚ  وَّّلَدَارُ الْاٰخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ ۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ۝

“To the righteous (when) it is said, ‘What is it that your Lord has revealed?’ – They say, ‘All that is good.’ To those who do good, there is good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better and excellent. How magnificent is the Home of the righteous!” (16:30)

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ يَفْرَحُوْنَ بِمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ مَنْ يُّنْكِرُ بَعْضَه ^ط قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللهَ وَلَاۤ اُشْرِكَ بِه ^ط اِلَيْهِ اَدْعُوْا وَاِلَيْهِ مَاٰبِ۝

“And whom We have given the Book, rejoice at what has been revealed unto you: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: ‘I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I call, and unto Him is my return’.” (13:36)

وَاِذَا سَمِعُوْا مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ تَرٰىۤ اَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيْضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوْا مِنَ الحَقِّ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اٰمَنَّا فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشّٰهِدِيْنَ ۝ وَمَا لَنَا لَا نُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَمَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ الحَقِّ وَنَطْمَعُ اَن يُّدْخِلَنَا رَبُّنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۝

“And when they (believers) listen to the revelation received by Messenger, you will see their eyes tearful, for they recognize the truth: they pray: ‘Our Lord! We believe; enlist us with those who testify. What excuse can we have for not to believe in Allah and the truth which has come to us, and why not we hope that our Lord would admit us to the company of the righteous?” (5:83 – 84)

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَاِذَا تُلِيْتْ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتُه زَادَتْهُمْ اِيْمٰنًا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُوْنَ۝

“For, Believers are those whose hearts tremble, when Allah’s name is mentioned, and when His verses rehearsed to them, they find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord.” (8:2)

قُلْ اٰمِنُوْا بِه اَوْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوْۤا ۚ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوْا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِه اِذَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ يَخِرُّوْنَ لِلْاَذْقَانِ سُجَّدًا ۝ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّنَاۤ اِنْ كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُوْلًا ۝ وَيَخِرُّوْنَ لِلْاَذْقَانِ يَبْكُوْنَ وَيَزِيْدُهُمْ خُشُوْعًا ۝

“Say: ‘Whether you believe in it or not, it is true that those who were given knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration,’ and they say: ‘Glory to our Lord! Truly the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled!’ They fall down on their faces (prostrate) in tears, and it increases their (earnest) humility.” (17:107 – 109) [Ayah of Sajadah]

اِنَّمَا یُؤْمِنُ بِاٰیٰتِنَا الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرُوْا بِهَا خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّسَبَّحُوْا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا یَسْتَکْبِرُوْنَ ۝۩   تَتَجَافٰی جُنُوْبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ یَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَّ طَمَعًا ۫ وَّ مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ ۝ فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّاۤ اُخْفِیَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ قُرَّۃِ اَعْیُنٍ ۚ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝

“Only those believe in Our Verses, who, when they are recited to them, fall down in prostration, and glorify the praises of their Lord, nor are they (ever) puffed up with pride. Their sides do shun their beds of sleep, as they call on their Lord, in Fear and Hope: and they spend (in charity) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them. Now no person knows what delights of the eyes are kept hidden (in reserve) for them – as a reward for their (good) deeds.” (32:15 – 17) [Ayah of Sajadah]

 

The Holy Qur’an: Criterion of Truth and Falsehood

“Blessed is He who sent down the criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures.” (25:1)

The followers of Satan persistently strive to sow chaos, confusion, and corruption on Earth by propagating falsehood and deception. They attempt to extinguish the divine light of Allah through their deceitful words and actions. However, Allah (SWT) has ensured that His light of truth remains perpetually ignited for the guidance of humanity. He has sent Messengers and Prophets, as well as bestowed Books of Guidance, to every community, establishing and upholding the truth. These messengers conveyed the divine messages received from Allah (SWT) to guide their respective people. They warned mankind about the dire consequences of falsehood and upheld the truth as a means of righteous guidance. Ultimately, truth prevails over falsehood. The Holy Qur’an has been revealed as a comprehensive guide, delineating the criteria to discern truth from falsehood, thus directing humanity towards the path of truth.

The verses related to the above topic are quoted below:

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِىْ نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلٰى عَبْدِه لِيَكُوْنَ لِلْعٰلَمِيْنَ نَذِيْرًا۝

“Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (Qur’an – the Book to judge Truth and Falsehood) to His servant (Muhammad ﷺ), so that he may be a warner to all Worlds.” (25:1)

هُوَ الَّذِىۤ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَه بِالْهُدٰى وَدِيْنِ الْحَقِّ لِيْظْهِرَه عَلَى الدِّيْنِ كُلِّه وَكَفٰى بِاللهِ شَهِيْدًا۝

“It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religions. Allah suffices as Witness.” (48:28)

وَقُل رَّبِّ اَدْخِلْنِىْ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَاَخْرِجْنِىْ مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَّاجْعَلْ لِّىْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطٰنًا نَّصِيْرًا۝ وَقُلْ جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبٰطِلُ اِنَّ الْبٰطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوْقًا۝

“And say (O Prophet), ‘My Lord, lead me in through an entry of truth, and lead me out through an exit of truth, and grant me from You a supporting power.’ And say, ‘The truth has come, and falsehood has withered away; for falsehood is bound to wither away’.” (17:80-81)

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبِّىْ يَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ ^ط عَلّٰمُ الْغُيُوْبِ۝ قُلْ جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ الْبٰطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيْدُ۝

“Say, ‘My Lord hurls the truth (at falsehood). He is the Knower of the Unseen.’ Say, ‘The Truth has come; while falsehood can neither originate, nor regenerate’.” (34:48–49)

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ۝ وَالْاَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ۝ اِنَّه لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ۝ وَّمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ۝

“By the sky that gives recurring rains. And the earth that cracks open (for growing plants). Indeed it (Qur’an) is a Decisive Word (between truth and falsehood). It is no joke.” (86:11–14)

وَبِالْحَقِّ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَ وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيْرًا۝

“With the truth We sent it (Qur’an) down, and with the truth it descended. We sent you only as a bearer of good news and a warner.” (17:105)

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ ۗ  وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اخْتَلَفُوْا فِى الْكِتٰبِ لَفِىْ شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيْدٍ۝

“That is because Allah has revealed the Book in truth; and those who insistently differ about the Book are in deep discord.” (2:176)

نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ۝ وَاَنْزَلَ التَّوْرٰىةَ وَالْاِنْجِيْلَ۝ مِنْ قَبْلُ هُدًی لِّلنَّاسِ وَاَنْزَلَ الْفُرْقَانَ ۬ ؕ اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِیْدٌ ؕ  وَاللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ ذُو انْتِقَامٍ ۝

“He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Tourat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), previously, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge.” (3:3–4)

وَلَا تَلْبِسُوْا الْحَقَّ بِالْبٰطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوْا الْحَقَّ وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝

“And do not blend truth with falsehood, and do not conceal the truth knowingly.” (2:42)

لَہٗ دَعْوَۃُ  الْحَقِّ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِہٖ لَا یَسْتَجِیْبُوْنَ لَهُمْ بِشَیْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّیْهِ اِلَی الْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبٰلِغِه وَمَا دُعَآءُ الْکٰفِرِیْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ ۝

“To Him belongs the call to truth. Those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with anything – except as someone who stretches his hands towards the water, so that it may reach his mouth, but it does never reach it. The prayers of the unbelievers are only in vain.” (13:14)

وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمٰوٰتُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْهِنَّ بَلْ اَتَيْنٰهُمْ بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ۝

“If the truth conformed to their desires, the heavens, the earth, and everyone in them would have gone to ruin. In fact, We have given them their message, but they keep avoiding their message. (23:71)

یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَلْبِسُوْنَ الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَکْتُمُوْنَ الْحَقَّ وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝

“O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?” (3:71)

فَمَنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللهِ الْكَذِبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ فَاُوْلٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝ قُلْ صَدَقَ اللهُ ۗ فَاتَّبِعُوْا مِلَّةَ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ حَنِيْفًا وَّمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ۝

“Whoever forges lies about Allah after that – indeed these are the unjust. Say, ‘Allah has spoken the truth, so follow the religion of Ibrahim who was the true monotheist; and he was not a pagan.” (3:94–95)

قُلْ سِيْرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ انْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عٰقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ۝

“Say, ‘Travel the earth and then observe the consequences of the falsifiers.” (6:11)

فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ اِذْ جَآءَه اَلَيْسَ فِىْ جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ۝ وَالَّذِىْ جَآءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِه اُوْلٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ۝

“Who is eviler than he who lies about Allah, and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in the Hell room for the ungrateful? But he who promotes the truth, and testifies to it—these are the righteous.” (39:32–33)

بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَی الْبَاطِلِ فَیَدْمَغُہٗ فَاِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ ؕ وَلَکُمُ الْوَیْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُوْنَ ۝

“In fact, We hurl the truth against falsehood, and it crushes it, so it vanishes. Woe unto you, for what you describe.” (21:18)

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ ۝ اِنَّكُمْ لَفِىْ قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ ۝ يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ اُفِكَ ۝ قُتِلَ الْخَرّٰصُوْنَ۝ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ فِىْ غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُوْنَ۝

“By the sky with (its) numerous paths. Truly you are saying words of discord. Deluded from it (truth) is he who is deluded. Woe to falsehood-mongers. Those who are lost (lurch) in the pool of ignorance.” (51:7-11)

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَاَنَّ مَا يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِه هُوَ الْبٰطِلُ وَاَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْعَلِىُّ الْكَبِيْرُ۝

“That is because Allah is the Truth, and what they invoke besides Him is untrue, and because Allah is the Sublime, the Grand.” (22:62)
