And Allah heareth and
knoweth all
things.”(Quran 2:256)

pay the poor-due, and
bow down (in
prayer”(Quran 5:55)

5. “If you give alms openly, it
is well, and if you hide it

aware of what you
do.”(Quran 2:271)

fasting as it was

before you that you
may become
righteous”(Quran

can be produced by other
than Allah; on the

(revelations) that went

wherein there is no doubt
- from the Lord of the
worlds.”(Quran 10:37)

warner has gone among
them.”(Quran 35:24)

the good things that We
have provided for you,

and that on which any
other name hath been
invoked besides that of
Allah.”(Quran 2:172-173)

concerning wine and

Allah, and the revelation
given to us, and to
Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac,
Jacob, and the Tribes, and
that given to Moses and
Jesus, and that given to
(all) prophets from their
Lord: We make no
difference between one
and another of them: And
we bow to Allah (in
Islam)." Quran 2:136)

13. • O Prophet! say to your
wives and your daughters
and the women of the
believers that they let
down upon them their
over-garments; this will
be more proper, that they
may be known, and thus
they will not be given
trouble; and Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful. Quran
33:59)

14. • He it is Who made the
sun a shining brightness
and the moon a light, and
ordained for it mansions
that you might know the
computation of years and
the reckoning. Allah did
not create it but with
truth; He makes the signs
manifest for a people
who know.(Quran 10:5)

15. • O mankind, indeed We
have created you from
male and female and
made you nations and
tribes that you may know
one another. Indeed, the
most noble of you in the
sight of Allah is the most
righteous of you. Indeed,
Allah is Knowing and
Acquainted.(Quran 49:13)
