 some formed and some unformed (as in the
 case of miscarriage) - that We may make (it)
   clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power
   and Ability to do what We will). And We
     cause whom We will to remain in the
    wombs for an appointed term, then We
    bring you out as infants, then (give you
 growth) that you may reach your age of full
  strength. And among you there is he who
dies (young), and among you there is he who
 is brought back to the miserable old age, so
 that he knows nothing after having known.
 And you see the earth barren, but when We
 send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to
life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely
             kind (of growth).[22:5]
He it is Who created the heavens and the
    earth in six Days and then rose over
  (Istawâ) the Throne (in a manner that
 suits His Majesty). He knows what goes
into the earth and what comes forth from
  it, and what descends from the heaven
   and what ascends thereto. And He is
        with you (by His Knowledge)
 wheresoever's you may be. And Allâh is
     the All-Seer of what you do. [57:4]
So HE forgave him
 And he entered the city at a time of unawareness
of its people: and he found there two men fighting,
- one of his party (his religion - from the Children
 of Israel), and the other of his foes. The man of
 his (own) party asked him for help against his foe,
so Mûsâ (Moses) struck him with his fist and killed
  him. He said: "This is of Shaitan’s (Satan) doing:
        verily, he is a plain misleading enemy."
 He said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself,
so forgive me." Then He forgave him. Verily, He is
  the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. [28:15-16]
Beautified for men is the love of things they covet;
      women, children, much of gold and silver
 (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-
    tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present
    world’s life; but Allâh has the excellent return
        (Paradise with flowing rivers) with Him.
  Say: "Shall I inform you of things far better than
     those? For Al-Muttaqûn (the pious) there are
   Gardens (Paradise) with their Lord, underneath
which rivers flow. Therein (is their) eternal (home)
  and (purified mates or wives). And Allâh will be
   pleased with them. And Allâh is All-Seer of the
(His) slaves". Those who say: "Our Lord! We have
 indeed believed, so forgive us our sins and save us
     from the punishment of the Fire." [3:14-16]
And Mûsâ (Moses) chose out
of his people seventy (of the
best) men for Our appointed
  time and place of meeting,
  and when they were seized
with a violent earthquake, he
  said: "O my Lord, if it had
  been Your Will, You could
have destroyed them and me
before; would You destroy us
 for the deeds of the foolish
   ones among us? It is only
Your Trial by which You lead
  astray whom You will, and
 keep guided whom You will.
   You are our Protector, so
forgive us and have Mercy on
  us: for You are the Best of
   those who forgive. [7:155]
And your Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), full of
Mercy; if He wills, He can destroy you, and in your
 place make whom He wills as your successors, as
He raised you from the seed of other people. [6:133]
The Opening

                                     The Cure
                       [ 1:1-7]
     In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the
                        Most Merciful.
  All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord
       of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that ex-
                             ists).
       The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
   The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge)
                 of the Day of Recompense
               (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
   You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we
                         ask for help.
             Guide us to the Straight Way.
 The Way of those on whom You have bestowed
        Your Grace, not of those who earned Your
  anger (i.e. those who knew the Truth, but did not
  follow it) nor of those who went astray (i.e. those
   who did not follow the Truth out of ignorance).
For those who believe and do righteous deeds,
will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is
 the great Salvation, (the fulfillment of all desires),
Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. It
 is He Who creates from the very beginning, and
 He can restore (life). And He is the Oft-Forgiving,
         Full of Loving-Kindness.[85:11-14]
And there were gathered before Sulaimân
  (Solomon) his hosts of jinn and men, and birds,
and they all were set in battle order. Till, when they
came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said:
     "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaimân
  (Solomon) and his hosts should crush you, while
   they perceive not." So he smiled, amused at her
  speech and said: "My Lord! Grant me the power
  and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favors
     which You have bestowed on me and on my
  parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds
 that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy
       among Your righteous slaves." [27:17-19]
for forgiveness
    Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners
 should be set up with Him (in worship), but
  He       forgives except that (anything else)
to whom He wills; and whoever sets up part-
ners with Allâh in worship, he has indeed in-
         vented a tremendous sin.[4:48]
Those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allâh,
and in the Message of Muhammad pbuh) and hin-
 der (men) from the Path of Allâh, He will render
   their deeds vain. But those who believe and do
 righteous good deeds, and believe in that which is
 sent down to Muhammad pbuh for it is the truth
 from their Lord - He will expiate from them their
         sins, and will make good their state.
     That is because those who disbelieve follow
falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth
   from their Lord. Thus does Allâh set forth for
            mankind their parables. [47:1-3]
And argue not with the people of the
 Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it be
in (a way) that is better (with good words and
   in good manner, inviting them to Islâmic
  Monotheism with His Verses), except with
     such of them as do wrong; and say (to
  them): "We believe in that which has been
 revealed to us and revealed to you; our God
and your God is One (i.e. Allâh), and to Him
    we have submitted (as Muslims)."[29:46]
Say: "O people of the Scripture (Jews and
  Christians)! Why do you stop those who
have believed, from the Path of Allâh, seek-
   ing to make it seem crooked, while you
 (yourselves) are witnesses [to Muhammad
 PBUH as a Messenger of Allâh and Islâm
 (Allâh’s religion, i.e. to worship none but
Him Alone)]? And Allâh is not unaware of
            what you do." [3:99]
He has created the heavens and the earth with
truth. He makes the night to go in the day and
 makes the day to go in the night. And He has
subjected the sun and the moon. Each running
  (on a fixed course) for an appointed term.
Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.
                     [39:5]
Those who are misers and enjoin upon
people miserliness - (Allâh is not in need of
 their charity). And whosoever turns away
  (from Faith - Allâh’s Monotheism), then
Allâh is Rich (Free of all needs), Worthy of
                all praise. [57:24]
Mercy of Allah
 Say: "O ‘Ibâdî (My slaves) who have transgressed
 against themselves (by committing evil deeds and
 sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh: verily,
 Allâh forgives all sins. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving,
  Most Merciful. "And turn in repentance and in
obedience with true Faith to your Lord and submit
to Him (in Islâm) before the torment comes upon
  you, (and) then you will not be helped.[39:53-54]
Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent
  down, and the Guidance, after We have made it
 clear for the people in the Book,-on them shall be
  Allah's curse, and the curse of those entitled to
                        curse.
  Except those who repent and make amends and
openly declare (the Truth): To them I turn; for I am
      Oft-returning, Most Merciful. [2:159-160]
Of the Truth
Verily, those who disbelieved after their Belief and
      then went on increasing in their disbelief
     (i.e. disbelief in the Qur’ân and in Prophet
                   Muhammad pbuh)
 never will their repentance be accepted [because
  they repent only by their tongues and not from
  their hearts]. And they are those who are astray.
 Verily, those who disbelieved, and died while they
were disbelievers, the (whole) earth full of gold will
not be accepted from anyone of them even if they
    offered it as a ransom. For them is a painful
   torment and they will have no helpers. [3:90-91]
Capable
  Allâh does not like that the evil should be uttered
   in public except by him who has been wronged.
      And Allâh is Ever All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Whether you (mankind) disclose (by good words of
 thanks) a good deed (done to you in the form of a
favor by someone), or conceal it, or pardon an evil,
... verily, Allâh is Ever Oft-Pardoning, All-Powerful.
                      [4:148-149]
Neither you (O Muham-
   mad pbuh) do any deed
  nor recite any portion of
     the Qur’ân, - nor you
    (mankind) do any deed
  (good or evil) but We are
Witness thereof, when you
are doing it. And nothing is
   hidden from your Lord
(so much as) the weight of
  an atom (or small ant) on
 the earth or in the heaven.
 Not what is less than that
or what is greater than that
  but is (written) in a clear
   record. no doubt! [10:61]
The Messenger (Muhammad pbuh)
  believes in what has been sent down to him
from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each
 one believes in Allâh, His Angels, His Books,
and His Messengers. (They say), "We make no
    distinction between one another of His
 Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we
 obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord,
   and to You is the return (of all)." [2:285]
Is now!
Allâh accepts only the repentance of those who do
evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon
 afterwards; it is they whom Allâh will forgive and
        Allâh is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
 And of no effect is the repentance of those who
continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of
 them and he says: "Now I repent;" nor of those
 who die while they are disbelievers. For them We
     have prepared a painful torment. [4:17-18]
Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope. He
gets reward for that (good) which he has earned,
  and he is punished for that (evil) which he has
earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or
 fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden
 like that which You did lay on those before us ;
our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we
have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us for-
        giveness. Have mercy on us. You are
our Maulâ (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.)
and give us victory over the disbelieving people .
                      [2:286]
When those who believe in Our Ayât (proofs,
 evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
come to you, say: "Salâmun ‘Alaikum" (peace be on
you); your Lord has written (prescribed) Mercy for
     Himself, so that if any of you does evil in
    ignorance, and thereafter repents and does
  righteous good deeds (by obeying Allâh), then
 surely, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[6:54]
Many of the people of the
  Scripture wish that if they
    could turn you away as
  disbelievers after you have
 believed, out of envy from
 their own selves, even after
 the truth (that Muhammad
 pbuh is Allâh’s Messenger)
 has become manifest unto
    them. But forgive and
overlook, till Allâh brings His
  Command. Verily, Allâh is
 Able to do all things. [2:109]
And He it is Who accepts repentance from His
 slaves, and forgives sins, and He knows what you
do. And He answers (the invocation of) those who
believe (in the Oneness of Allâh ) and do righteous
    good deeds, and gives them increase of His
Bounty. And as for the disbelievers, theirs will be a
              severe torment. [42:25-26]
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 honor-
able of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At
    -Taqwâ [i.e. he is one of the Muttaqûn (the
 pious.))]. Verily, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
                       [49:13]
And perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât ), at the two
ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e.
    the five compulsory Salât (prayers)]. Verily, the
 good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins).
    That is a reminder (an advice) for the mindful
  (those who accept advice). And be patient; verily,
   Allâh wastes not the reward of the good-doers.
                     [11:114-115]
none can withhold it
Whatever of mercy (i.e. of good), Allâh may
grant to mankind, none can withhold it; and
whatever He may withhold, none can grant it
  thereafter. And He is the All-Mighty, the
                All-Wise. [35:2]
and his brothers!




  They said: "Are you indeed Yûsuf (Joseph)?" He
 said: "I am Yûsuf (Joseph), and this is my brother
 (Benjamin). Allâh has indeed been gracious to us.
 Verily, he who fears Allâh with obedience to Him
(by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by per-
   forming righteous good deeds), and is patient,
     then surely, Allâh makes not the reward of
        the Muhsinûn (good-doers) to be lost."
  They said: "By Allâh! Indeed Allâh has preferred
 you above us, and we certainly have been sinners."
 He said: "No reproach on you this day; may Allâh
 forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those
             who show mercy! [12:90-92]
The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of
repentance, the Severe in punishment, the
    Bestower (of favors). Lâ ilâha illâ
Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped
 but He), to Him is the final return. [40:3]
the straight path!
         Those (angels) who bear the Throne
(of Allâh) and those around it glorify the praises of
their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness
   for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh)
 (saying): "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in
mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent
    and follow Your Way, and save them from the
          torment of the blazing Fire! [40:7]
And who is better in speech than he who [says:
 "My Lord is Allâh (believes in His Oneness)," and
    then stands firm (acts upon His Order), and]
invites (men) to Allâh’s (Islâmic Monotheism), and
  does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the
                  Muslims." [41:33]
The Beneficent will bestow love for you
Verily, those who believe in the Oneness of Allâh
    and in His Messenger (Muhammad pbuh)
   and work deeds of righteousness, the Most
   Gracious (Allâh) will bestow love for them
      (in the hearts of the believers). [19:96]
Verily, this (the Qur’ân) is no less than a Reminder
    to (all) the ‘Âlamîn (mankind and jinn) To
whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.
   And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allâh
           wills - the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn
   (mankind, jinn and all that exists). [81:27-29]

    So HE forgavehim And he entered the city at a time of unawareness of its people: and he found there two men fighting, - one of his party (his religion - from the Children of Israel), and the other of his foes. The man of his (own) party asked him for help against his foe, so Mûsâ (Moses) struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: "This is of Shaitan’s (Satan) doing: verily, he is a plain misleading enemy." He said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, so forgive me." Then He forgave him. Verily, He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. [28:15-16]

    And there weregathered before Sulaimân (Solomon) his hosts of jinn and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order. Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaimân (Solomon) and his hosts should crush you, while they perceive not." So he smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favors which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves."

    for forgiveness Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up part- ners with Allâh in worship, he has indeed in- vented a tremendous sin.[4:48]

    Those who disbelieve(in the Oneness of Allâh, and in the Message of Muhammad pbuh) and hin- der (men) from the Path of Allâh, He will render their deeds vain. But those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and believe in that which is sent down to Muhammad pbuh for it is the truth from their Lord - He will expiate from them their sins, and will make good their state. That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus does Allâh set forth for mankind their parables. [47:1-3]

Verily, those who disbelieved, and died while they were disbelievers, the (whole) earth full of gold will not be accepted from anyone of them even if they offered it as a ransom. For them is a painful torment and they will have no helpers. [3:90-91]
