Qur'an Majeed-Retaliation
Qur’an Majeed:
And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and conserving the previous Books. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires deviating from the Truth that has come to you. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one of you. Had Allah willed, He would have made you a single community, but He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. So compete with each other in doing good. Every one of you will return to Allah and He will inform you regarding the things about which you differed. (48)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ma’ida (The Table, The Table Spread), Surah # 5: Ayah # 48)
When the Qur'an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy. (204)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 204)
Alif Lam Ra. This is a Book We have sent down to you so that you can bring mankind from the darkness to the light, by the permission of their Lord, to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy. (1)
(Holy Quran, Surah Ibrahim (The Prophet Abraham), Surah # 14: Ayah # 1)
Whenever you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan. (98)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nahl (The Bee), Surah # 16: Ayah # 98)

Qayamat:
And fear the Day when ye shall be brought back to Allah. Then shall every soul be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly. (281)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #281)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recitation:
Say: ‘Come and I will recite to you what your Lord has made forbidden for you’: that you do not associate anything with Him; that you are good to your parents; that you do not kill your children because of poverty–We will provide for you and them; that you do not approach indecency– outward or inward; that you do not kill any person Allah has made inviolate– except with the right to do so. That is what He instructs you to do so that hopefully you will use your intellect. (151) And that you do not go near the property of orphans before they reach maturity–except in a good way; that you give full measure and full weight with justice– We impose on no self any more than it can bear; that you are equitable when you speak–even if a near relative is concerned; and that you fulfill Allah’s contract. That is what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will pay heed. (152) This is My Path and it is straight, so follow it. Do not follow other ways or you will become cut off from His Way. That is what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will guard against evil. (153)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 151-153)
Perform prayer from the time the sun declines until the darkening of the night and also the recitation at dawn. The dawn recitation is certainly witnessed. (78)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Isra’ (The Night Journey) or Bani Isra’il (The Children of Israel), Surah # 17: Ayah # 78)
Recite what has been revealed to you of your Lord’s Book. No one can change His Words. You will never find any safe haven apart from Him. (27)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Kahf (The Cave), Surah # 18: Ayah # 27)
Your Lord knows that you stay up nearly two thirds of the night–or half of it, or a third of it– and a group of those with you. Allah determines the night and day. He knows you will not keep count of it, so He has turned towards you. Recite as much of the Qur’an as is easy for you. He knows that some of you are ill and that others are travelling in the land seeking Allah’s bounty, and that others are fighting in the Way of Allah. So recite as much of it as is easy for you. And perform prayer and give the alms and lend a generous loan to Allah. Whatever good you send ahead for yourselves you will find it with Allah as something better and as a greater reward. And seek forgiveness from Allah. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (20)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Muzzammil (The Enfolded One), Surah #73: Ayah 20)
Recite: In the Name of your Lord Who created. (1) created man from alaq. (2) Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful, (3) He Who taught by the pen, (4) taught man what he did not know. (5)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al ‘Alaq or Iqra’ (Read!), Surah # 96: Ayah # 1-5)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Relatives:
Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Be good to your parents and relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to neighbours who are related to you and neighbours who are not related to you, and to companions and travellers and your slaves. Allah does not love anyone vain or boastful. (36)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 36)
Know that when you take any booty a fifth of it belongs to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to close relatives, orphans, the very poor and travellers, if you believe in Allah and in what We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Discrimination, the day the two groups met–Allah has power over all things. (41)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 41)
Allah commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny. He warns you so that hopefully you will pay heed. (90)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nahl (The Bee), Surah # 16: Ayah # 90)
Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and travelers…
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Isra’ (The Night Journey) or Bani Isra’il (The Children of Israel), Surah # 17: Ayah #26)
And even if thou has to turn away from them pursuit of the mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness. (28)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Isra’ (The Night Journey) or Bani Isra’il (The Children of Israel), Surah # 17: Ayah #28)
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)
(Holy Quran, Surah Ar-Rum (The Romans, The Byzantines), Surah # 30: Ayah # 38)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Religion:
So set your face firmly towards the True Religion, before a Day comes from Allah which cannot be turned back. On that Day they will be split up. (43)
(Holy Quran, Surah Ar-Rum (The Romans, The Byzantines), Surah # 30: Ayah # 43)
He has laid down the same religion for you as He enjoined on Nuh: that which We have revealed to you and which We enjoined on Ibrahim, Musa and ‘Isa: ‘Establish the religion and do not make divisions in it.’ What you call the idolaters to follow is very hard for them. Allah chooses for Himself anyone He wills and guides to Himself those who turn to Him. (13)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Shura (Consultation), Surah # 42: Ayah # 13)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repentance:
‘Ask your Lord for forgiveness and then repent to Him. He will let you enjoy a good life until a specified time, and will give His favour to all who merit it. But if you turn your backs, I fear for you the punishment of a Mighty Day.’ (3)
(Holy Quran, Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retaliation:
There is life for you in retaliation, people of intelligence, so that hopefully you will guard against evil. (179)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #179)
You who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the case of people killed: free man for free man, slave for slave, female for female. But if someone is absolved by his brother, bloodmoney should be claimed with correctness and paid with good will. That is an easement and a mercy from your Lord. Anyone who goes beyond the limits after this will receive a painful punishment. (178)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #178)
Sacred month in return for sacred month–sacred things are subject to retaliation. So if anyone oversteps the limits against you, overstep against him the same as he did to you. But have fear of Allah. Know that Allah is with those who guard against evil. (194)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #194)
... So We decreed for the tribe of Israel that if someone kills another person–unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth–it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. Our Messengers came to them with Clear Signs but even after that many of them committed out- rages in the earth. (32) The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land. That will be their degradation in this world and in the hereafter they will have a terrible punishment. (33)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ma’ida (The Table, The Table Spread), Surah # 5: Ayah # 32-33)
If you want to retaliate, retaliate to the same degree as the injury done to you. But if you are patient, it is better to be patient. (126)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nahl (The Bee), Surah # 16: Ayah #126)
And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and conserving the previous Books. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires deviating from the Truth that has come to you. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one of you.
