Debt-Eyes
Debt:
You who believe! When you take on a debt for a specified period, write it down. A writer should write it down between you justly. No writer should refuse to write; as Allah has taught him, so he should write. The one incurring the debt should dictate and should have fear of Allah his Lord and not reduce it in any way. If the person incurring the debt is incompetent or weak or unable to dictate, then his guardian should dictate for him justly. Two men among you should act as witnesses. But if there are not two men, then a man and two women with whom you are satisfied as witnesses; then if one of them forgets, the other can remind her. Witnesses should not refuse when they are called upon. Do not think it too trivial to write down, whether small or large, with the date that it falls due. Doing that is more just in Allah’s sight and more helpful when bearing witness and more likely to eliminate any doubt–unless it is an immediate transaction hand to hand, taken and given without delay. There is nothing wrong in your not writing that down. Call witnesses when you trade. Neither writer nor witness should be put under pressure. If you do that, it is deviancy on your part. Have fear of Allah and Allah will give you knowledge. Allah has knowledge of all things. (282) If you are on a journey and cannot find a writer, something can be left as a security. If you leave things on trust with one another the one who is trusted must deliver up his trust and have fear of Allah his Lord. Do not conceal testimony. If someone does conceal it, his heart commits a crime. Allah knows what you do. (283)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #282-283)

Delusion:
Mankind! Allah’s promise is true. Do not let the life of this world delude you and do not let the Deluder delude you about Allah. (5)
(Holy Quran, Surah Fatir (The Originator of the Creation), Surah # 35: Ayah # 5)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discussion (also see talking):
Do not argue on behalf of those who betray themselves. Allah does not love any evildoing traitors. (107)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 107)
Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition, and argue with them in the kindest way. Your Lord knows best who is misguided from His way. And He knows best who are guided. (125)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nahl (The Bee), Surah # 16: Ayah #125)
Say to My servants that they should only say the best. Satan wants to stir up trouble between them. Satan is an outright enemy to man. (53)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Isra’ (The Night Journey) or Bani Isra’il (The Children of Israel), Surah # 17: Ayah # 53)
Only argue with the People of the Book in the kindest way–except in the case of those of them who do wrong–saying, ‘We believe in what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to you. Our God and your God are one and we submit to Him.’ (46)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al ‘Ankabut (The Spider), Surah # 29: Ayah # 46)

Divorce:
Those who swear to abstain from sexual relations with their wives can wait for a period of up to four months. If they then retract their oath, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (226) If they are determined to divorce, Allah is All- Hearing, All-Knowing. (227) Divorced women should wait by themselves for three menstrual cycles; and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. Their husbands have the right to take them back within that time, if they desire to be reconciled. Women possess rights similar to those held over them to be honoured with fairness; but men have a degree above them. Allah is Almighty, All- Wise. (228) Divorce can be pronounced two times; in which case wives may be retained with correctness and courtesy or released with good will. It is not lawful for you to keep anything you have given them unless a couple fear that they will not remain within Allah’s limits. If you fear that they will not remain within Allah’s limits, there is nothing wrong in the wife ransoming herself with some of what she received. These are Allah’s limits, so do not overstep them. Those who overstep Allah’s limits are wrongdoers. (229) But if a man divorces his wife a third time, she is not lawful for him after that until she has married another husband. Then if he divorces her, there is nothing wrong in the original couple getting back together provided they think they will remain within Allah’s limits. These are Allah’s limits which he has made clear to people who know. (230) When you divorce women and they are near the end of their waiting period, then either retain them with correctness and courtesy or release them with correctness and courtesy. Do not retain them by force, thus overstepping the limits. Anyone who does that has wronged himself. Do not make a mockery of Allah’s Signs. Remember Allah’s blessing to you and the Book and Wisdom He has sent down to you to admonish you. Have fear of Allah and know that Allah has knowledge of all things. (231) When you divorce women and they are near the end of their waiting period, do not prevent them from marrying their first husbands if they have mutually agreed to it with correctness and courtesy. This is an admonition for those of you who believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and purer for you. Allah knows and you do not know. (232)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #226-232)
There is nothing wrong in your divorcing women before you have touched them or allotted a dowry to them. But give them a gift–he who is wealthy according to his means and he who is less well off according to his means–a gift to be given with correctness and courtesy: a duty for all good-doers. (236) If you divorce them before you have touched them but have already allotted them a dowry, they should have half the amount which you allotted, unless they forgo it or the one in charge of the marriage contract forgoes it. To forgo it is closer to heedfulness. Do not forget to show generosity to one another. Allah sees what you do. (237)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #236-237)
Divorced women should receive maintenance given with correctness and courtesy: a duty for all who guard against evil. (241)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #241)
You who believe! When you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them, there is no waiting period for you to calculate for them, so give them a gift and let them go with kindness. (49)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ahzab (The confederates), Surah # 33: Ayah # 49)
Those who divorce their wives by equating them with their mothers, and then wish to go back on what they said, must set free a slave before the two of them may touch one another. This is what you are enjoined to do. Allah is aware of what you do. (3) Anyone who cannot find the means must fast for two consecutive months before the two of them may touch one another again. And anyone who is unable to do that must feed sixty poor people. That is to affirm your faith in Allah and His Messenger. These are Allah’s limits. The disbelievers will have a painful punishment. (4)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Mujadilah (The Woman Who Pleads), Surah # 58: Ayah # 3-4)
O Prophet! When any of you divorce women, divorce them during their period of purity and calculate their waiting period carefully. And have fear of Allah, your Lord. Do not evict them from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit an outright indecency. Those are Allah’s limits, and anyone who oversteps Allah’s limits has wronged himself. You never know, it may well be that after that Allah will cause a new situation to develop. (1) Then
when they have reached the end of their waiting period either retain them with correctness and courtesy or part from them with correctness and courtesy. Call two upright men from among yourselves as witnesses and they should carry out the witnessing for Allah. This is admonishment for all who believe in Allah and the Last Day. Whoever has fear of Allah–He will give him a way out. (2) And (He will) provide for him from where he does not expect. Whoever puts his trust in Allah–He will be enough for him. Allah always achieves His aim. Allah has appointed a measure for all things. (3) In the case of those of your wives who are past the age of menstruation, if you have any doubt, their waiting period should be three months, and that also applies to those who have not yet menstruated. The time for women who are pregnant is when they give birth. Whoever has fear of Allah–He will make matters easy for him. (4) That is Allah’s command which He has sent down to you. Whoever has fear of Allah–He will erase his bad actions from him and greatly increase his reward. (5) Let them live where you live, according to your means. Do not put pressure on them, so as to harass them. If they are pregnant, maintain them until they give birth. If they are suckling for you, give them their wages and consult together with correctness and courtesy. But if you make things difficult for one another, another woman should do the suckling for you. (6) He who has plenty should spend out from his plenty, but he whose provision is restricted should spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not demand from any self more than He has given it. Allah will appoint after difficulty, ease. (7)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Talaq (Divorce), Surah # 65: Ayah #1-7)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not move on the wrong path:
You who believe! Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. Anyone who follows in Satan’s footsteps should know that he commands indecency and wrongdoing. Were it not for Allah’s favour to you and His mercy, not one of you would ever have been purified. But Allah purifies whoever He wills. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (21)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nur (The Light), Surah # 24: Ayah # 21)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doubts:
‘Am I to desire someone other than Allah as a judge when it is He Who has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?’ Those We have given the Book know it has been sent down from your Lord with truth, so on no account be among the doubters. (114)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 114)
You who believe! Avoid most suspicion. Indeed some suspicion is a crime. And do not spy and do not backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat his brother’s dead flesh? No, you would hate it. And have fear of Allah. Allah is Ever-Returning, Most Merciful. (12)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Hujurat (The Chambers), Surah # 49: Ayah # 12)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due:
Give relatives their due, and the poor and travellers. That is best for those who seek the pleasure of Allah. They are the ones who are successful. (38)
(Surah Ar-Rum (The Romans, The Byzantines), Surah # 30: Ayah # 38)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eat or Eating:
Mankind! Eat what is good and lawful on the earth. And do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. He truly is an outright enemy to you. (168)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #168)
You who believe! Eat of the good things We have provided for you and give thanks to Allah if you worship Him alone. (2:172)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #172)
It is He Who made the sea subservient to you so that you can eat fresh flesh from it and bring out from it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships cleaving through it so that you can seek His bounty, and so that hopefully you will show thanks. (14)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nahl (The Bee), Surah # 16: Ayah # 14)
There is no objection to the blind, no objection to the lame, no objection to the sick; nor to yourselves if you eat in your own houses or your fathers’ houses or your mothers’ houses or your brothers’ houses or your sisters’ houses or the houses of your paternal uncles or paternal aunts or the houses of your maternal uncles or maternal aunts or places to which you own the keys or those of your friends. There is nothing wrong in your eating together or eating separately. And when you enter houses greet one another with a greeting from Allah, blessed and good. In this way Allah makes the Signs clear to you so that hopefully you will use your intellect. (61)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Nur (The light), Surah # 24: Ayah # 61)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemy:
You who believe! You are only responsible for yourselves. The misguided cannot harm you as long as you are guided. All of you will return to Allah and He will inform you about what you were doing. (105)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ma’ida (The Table, The Table Spread), Surah # 5: Ayah # 105)
Make allowances for people, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant. (199) If a suggestion from Satan assail thy (mind), seek refuge with Allah. for He heareth and knoweth (all things). (200)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 199-200)
You who believe! Do not take My enemy and your enemy as friends, showing love for them when they have rejected the truth that has come to you, driving out the Messenger and yourselves simply because you believe in Allah your Lord. If you go out to strive in My Way and seeking My pleasure, keeping secret the love you have for them, I know best what you conceal and what you make known. Any of you who do that have strayed from the right way. (1) If they come upon you, they will be your enemies and stretch out their hands and tongues against you with evil intent, and they would dearly love you to disbelieve. (2) Neither your blood relations nor your children will be of any use to you. On the Day of Rising He will differentiate between you. Allah sees what you do. (3)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Mumtahina (That which Examines), Surah # 60: Ayah # 1-3)
You who believe! Some of your wives and children are an enemy to you, so be wary of them. But if you pardon and exonerate and forgive, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (14)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Taghabun (The Mutual Loss and Gain), Surah # 64: Ayah # 14)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eyes:
Say to the believers that they should lower their eyes and guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Allah is aware of what they do. (30) Say to the believing women that they should lower their eyes and guard their chastity and not display their adornments–except for what normally shows–and draw their head-coverings across their breasts. They should only display their adornments to their husbands or their fathers or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons or their women or those they own as slaves or their male attendants who have no sexual desire or children who still have no awareness of women’s private parts. Nor should they stamp their feet so that their hidden ornaments are known. Turn to Allah every one of you, believers, so that hopefully you will have success. (31)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Nur (The light), Surah # 24: Ayah #30-31)
You who believe! When you take on a debt for a specified period, write it down. A writer should write it down between you justly.
