85 آﻴﺔ - 2 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺒﻘﺮﺓ Yet ye it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your people from their homes, supporting one another against them by sin and transgression? - and if they came to you as captives ye would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you - Believe ye in part of the Scripture and disbelieve ye in part thereof? And what is the reward of those who do so except disgrace in the life of the world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous doom. For Allah is not unaware of what ye do. ﺍ ﻭ ﻭ ﻳﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻭ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﻭ ﺍﻯ ﺍﻭ ﺍ ﻭ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﻭ ﻯ ﺍﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﻭ 4

Their ﻭ punishment will not be lightened, neither will آﺍ ﻭﻯ ﺍﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ آﺍ ﻳﻯ they have support. ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻭﺍ ﺍﺍﻭﺍﺍﻯ We gave Moses the Book and followed him ﺍ ﻳﺍ ﻳﺍ ﻭ up with a succession of Messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear Signs and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a Messenger with what ye do not desire, ye are puffed up with pride? - Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay! 5

204 آﻴﺔ - 2 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺒﻘﺮﺓ And of mankind there is he whoso ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﻯ ﺍ conversation on the life of this world pleases ﻱ ﺍﺍ thee (Muhammad), and he calls Allah to witness ﺍ ﻯ ﻯ ﻱ ﺍ ﻳﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍﻟ as to what is in his heart; yet he is the most ﺍ ﺍﺍ contentious of enemies. ﺍﺍ ﺍ ﻳ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ When he turns his back, His aim everywhere is to spread mischief through the earth and destroy crops and cattle. But Allah loves not mischief. When it is said to him, "Fear Allah", He is led by arrogance to more crime. Enough for him is Hell; -An evil bed indeed! 6

212 آﻴﺔ - 2 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺒﻘﺮﺓ The life of this world is alluring to those who reject faith, and they scoff at those who believe. But the righteous will be above them on the Day of Resurrection; for Allah bestows His abundance without measure on whom He will. ﻳ ﻭﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻭ ﺍﻳ آﻭﺍ ﺍﻳ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ 7

Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals to return to. ﻟ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍﻳ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍآ 8

What they spend in the life of this world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that has wronged them, but they wrong themselves. ﺍﻳ ﻭﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻭ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻳﺍ ﺍﻭ ﺍ ﻭ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻳ ﻳﺍ ﺍ ﻭﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﻭ 9

Coveting the ﺍ ﺍ ﻭ ﻳﺍ perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favors: Therefore carefully investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do. 12

109 -110 آﻴﺔ - 4 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻨﺴﺎﺀ Ah! ye are they who pleaded for them in the life of the world. But who will plead with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will carry their affairs through? Yet whoso does evil or wrongs his own soul, then seeks pardon of Allah, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful. ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍﺍ ﻭ ﻳﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍﻟ ﻭﺍ ﻳﺍ ﻭﺍ 13

They bear ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍآ ﻳ ﻭ ﺍ ﻭ upon their backs their burdens. Ah, evil is what they bear! What the life of this world is but play and amusement? But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will you not then understand? 14

70 آﻴﺔ - 6 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻷﻨﻌﺎﻡ Leave those who take their religion to be a ﺍﻳ ﺍ ﻭﺍ ﻳ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ play and an amusement, and are deceived ﺍ ﺍ ﻭ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻳ ﺍ ﺍ by the life of this world. But proclaim this ﻭ ﺍﻳ ﻭﺍ ﺍ ﻳ ﺍ ﺍﻭﺍ truth: that every soul delivers itself to ruin ﻭ by its own acts: it will find for itself no protector or intercessor except Allah: if it offered every ransom, or reparation, none will be accepted: such is the end of those who deliver themselves to ruin by their own acts: For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved. 15

130 آﻴﺔ - 6 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻷﻨﻌﺎﻡ O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you Messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours? " They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves. " It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith. ﻭ آﺍﻱ ﻭ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻭﺍ ﺍ ﻯ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻭﺍ ﻯ ﺍﻭﺍ ﺍﻳ 16

Say: Such, on the Day of Resurrection, will be only for those who believed during the life of the world. Thus do we detail Our revelations for people who have knowledge. ﻳ ﺍﻟ ﺍﻱ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﻳ آﻭﺍ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍآﺍ ﻭ 17

38 آﻴﺔ - 9 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺑﺔ O ye who believe! what is it with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻳ آﻭﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻳ ﺍﻭﺍ ﻱ ﻳ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﻯ ﺍ ﻳ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍآ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻱ ﺍآ ﺍ ﻳ 20

54 -55 آﻴﺔ - 9 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺑﺔ And nothing hinders their spendings being accepted from them, except that they disbelieve in Allah and in His Messenger that they come to prayer without earnestness; and that they offer contributions reluctantly. Let not their wealth nor their sons dazzle thee (O Muhammad): In reality Allah's plan is to punish them with these things in this life, and that their souls may perish while they are disbelievers. ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻭﺍ ﺍﻟ ﻭ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻯ ﺍ ﻭ ﺍ ﺍﻭ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻳ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍﻭ 21

Ye have enjoyment of the life of the world; then unto Us is your return and We shall proclaim unto you what ye used to do. ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻭ ﻱ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﻯ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻭ 22

24 آﻴﺔ - 10 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﻳﻮﻧﺲ The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: It grows till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out in beauty: the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest cleanmown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect. ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﻯ ﺍ ﺍﻭ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﺍ ﻳﺍ ﺍ ﺍآﺍ ﻭ 23

96 -98 آﻴﺔ - 10 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﻳﻮﻧﺲ Lo! those against whom the word of your Lord has proved true will not believe, Though every sign should come to them, until they witness the painful doom. And wherefore was there not a town which should believe so that their belief should have profited them but the people of Yunus? When they believed, We removed from the chastisement of disgrace in this world's life and We gave them provision till a time. ﺍﻭ ﺍﻳ ﺍ آ ﻯ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻳ ﺍ ﺍ آ ﺍ ﻳﺍﺍ ﺍ ﻭ ﺍ آﻭﺍ ﺍ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﻯ ﻳ 26

33 -34 آﻴﺔ - 13 ﺳﻮﺭﺓ - ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺮﻋﺪ Is He then Who watches every soul as to what ﻭﺍ ﺍ ﻭ ﻭ it earns? And yet they give associates to Allah! ﻳ ﻭﺍ ﻭﺍ ﺍ Say: Give them a name; nay, do you mean to ﺍ inform Him of what He does not know in the ﺍ ﺍآ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ earth, or do you affirm this by an outward saying? Rather, their plans are made to appear fair-seeming to those who disbelieve, and they are kept back from the path; and He whom Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide. For them is torment in the life of the world, and verily the doom of the Hereafter is more painful, and they have no defender from Allah. ﺍﻯ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﻱﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﻳ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﻱ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ 29

It is Allah who prevails over all things. Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of this world; and the ever-abiding, the good works, are better with your Lord in reward and better in expectation. ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍ ﻳﺍ ﻭ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﻯ ﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻭ ﻳ ﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍﺍﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍﺍ ﺍﺍ ﺍ 34
