The heavens are almost broken

the Most Forgiving,
the Most Merciful.

The Merciful
Verse 26-27
Every Being On Earth Is Bound To Perish

Surah Al-Mulk
The Sovereignty
19. Do they not see the birds above them,
spreading out their wings and folding
them in? None upholds them except
the Most Merciful. Verily, He is the
All-Seer of everything.
20. Who is it that can help you
if the Lord of Mercy does not?
The disbelievers are lost in
nothing but delusion.
21. Who is he that can provide for you
if He should withhold His provision?
Nay, but they continue to be in pride,
and (they) flee (from the truth).
Verily,
Allah is beautiful
and He loves beauty.
He loves the loftiest of affairs
and disapproves of pettiness.

Surah Al-Mu’minun
The Believer
115. Did you think
We had created you
in vain, and that you
would not be brought
back to Us?’
116. Exalted be God,
the true King, there is no
god but Him, the Lord
of the Glorious Throne!
117. Whoever prays to
another god alongside Him-
a god for whose existence he
has no evidence- will face
his reckoning with his Lord.
Those who reject the truth
will not prosper.
118. Say, ‘Lord,
forgive and have mercy:
You are the most
merciful of all.’
Allah
(mighty and sublime be He) said:
Pride is my cloak and Greatness My robe,
and he who competes with Me in respect
of either of them I shall cast into Hell-fire.
Hadith 19, 40 Hadith Qudsi
The Quran
Surah Fussilat
Explained In Detail
49. Man never tires
of asking for good,
but if evil
touches him
he loses all hope and
becomes depressed.
50. Whenever We let him taste some
of Our mercy after he has been afflicted,
he is sure to say, "This is all my own doing:
I do not think the Hour will ever come,
but even if I were to be taken back
to my Lord, the best reward
would await me with Him."
We shall most certainly inform
the disbelievers of what they have
done and give them a taste
of severe torment.
51. Whenever We are
gracious to man, he goes away
arrogantly, but, as soon as evil
touches him, he turns to
prolonged prayer.
52. Have you
ever thought,
"what if this revelation
really is from God" and
you still reject it?
Who could be more astray
than someone who cuts
himself off so far
[from God]?’
53. We shall show them Our signs
in every region of the earth and in
themselves, until it becomes clear
to them that this is the Truth.
Is it not enough that your Lord
witnesses everything?
54. Truly, they doubt that they
will meet their Lord; truly He
encompasses everything.
The Quran
Surah Saad
Verse 2-3
Those who disbelieve
are in pride and dissension.
How many a generation have
We destroyed before them,
and they [then] called out; but
it was not a time for escape.
The Quran
Surah Al-Qiyama
The Resurrection
26. Truly, when the soul
reaches the collarbone
(angels pull souls out
from the throat);
27. when it is said, ‘Could any
charm-healer save him now?’;
28. when he knows it is
the final parting;
29. when his legs are
brought together:
30. on that day he will be
driven towards your Lord.
31. He neither believed nor prayed,
32. but denied the truth
and turned away,
33. walking back to his people
with a conceited swagger.
34. Closer and closer
it comes to you.
35. Closer and closer still.
36. Does man think
he will be left alone?
The Quran
Surah Al-Mulk
The Sovereignty
12. Verily! Those who fear their
Lord unseen (they do not see Him,
nor His Punishment in the Hereafter),
theirs will be forgiveness and
a great reward (Paradise).
13. And whether you keep
your talk secret or disclose it,
verily, He is the All-Knower
of what is in the hearts.
14. Should not He
Who has created know?
And He is the Most Kind
and Courteous, All-Aware.
15. He it is, Who has made
the earth subservient to you
(easy for you to walk, to live and to
do agriculture on it), so walk in the path
thereof and eat of His provision, and
to Him will be the Resurrection.
16. Do you feel secure that He,
Who is over the heaven (Allah),
will not cause the earth to sink
with you? Then behold it shakes!
The Quran
Surah Al-A'raf
The Heights
Verse 143
When Moses came
for the appointment, and
his Lord spoke to him, he said,
‘My Lord, show Yourself to me: let me
see You!’ He said, ‘You will never see Me,
but look at that mountain: if it remains
standing firm, you will see Me,’ and when
his Lord revealed Himself to the mountain,
He made it crumble: Moses fell down
unconscious. When he recovered, he said,
‘Glory be to You! To You I turn in
repentance! I am the first
to believe!’
When the people
of Paradise enter it,
Allah Almighty will say:
Would you like anything more?
They will say: Have You not
brightened our faces?
Have You not
admitted us into Paradise
and saved us from Hellfire?
Then, Allah will lift the veil
and nothing they are given
will be more beloved to them
than looking at their
Lord Almighty.

Surah Al-Kahf
The Cave
32. Tell them the parable of two men:
for one of them We made two gardens of
grape vines, surrounded them with date
palms, and put corn fields in between;
33. both gardens yielded fruit and
did not fail in any way; We made
a stream flow through them,
34. and so he had abundant fruit. One
day, while talking to his friend, he said,
‘I have more wealth and a larger
following than you.’
35. He went into his garden and wronged himself
by saying, ‘I do not think this will ever perish,
36. or that the Last Hour will ever come-
even if I were to be taken back to my Lord,
I would certainly find something
even better there.’
37. His companion retorted,
‘Have you no faith in Him who
created you from dust,
from a small drop of fluid,
then shaped you into a man?
38. But, for me, He is God, my Lord, and
I will never set up any partner with Him.
39. If only, when you entered your garden, you
had said, “This is God’s will. There is no power
not [given] by God.” Although you see I have
less wealth and offspring than you,
40. my Lord may well give
me something better
than your garden, and send
thunderbolts on your garden
from the sky, so that it becomes
a heap of barren dust;
41. or its water may sink so deep into
the ground that you will never be able
to reach it again.’
42. And so it was: his fruit
was completely destroyed,
and there he was, wringing
his hands over what he had
invested in it, as it
drooped on its trellises, and
saying, ‘I wish I had not set up
any partner to my Lord.’
43. He had no forces to help him other
than God- he could not even help himself.
44. In that situation,
the only protection is that of God,
the True God: He gives the best
rewards and the best outcome.
The Quran
Surah Az-Zumar
The Troops
49. When man suffers some affliction,
he cries out to Us, but when We favour him
with Our blessing, he says, ‘All this has been
given to me because of my knowledge’- it is only
a test, though most of them do not know it.
50. Those who lived before them
said the same. What they did was
of no use to them;
51. they suffered its evil effects.
Today’s wrongdoers will also suffer
the evil effects of their deeds:
they will not escape.
The Quran
Surah Al-Hajj
The Pilgrimage
1. People, be mindful of your Lord,
for the earthquake of the Last Hour
will be a mighty thing:
2. on the Day you see it, every nursing mother will
think no more of her baby, every pregnant female will
miscarry, you will think people are drunk when they
are not, so severe will be God’s torment.
3. Yet still there are some who, with no knowledge,
argue about God, who follow every devilish rebel
4. fated to lead astray those who take his side, and
guide them to the suffering of the blazing flame.

Surah Az-Zumar

71. Those who rejected the Truth
will be led to Hell in their cages.
When they arrive, its gates will open
and its keepers will say to them,
‘Were you not sent your own
messengers to recite the revelations
of your Lord to you and warn you
that you would meet this Day?’
and they will say, ‘Yes indeed we were.’
But the sentence of punishment will have
been passed against those who
rejected the truth.
72. It will be said, ‘Enter the gates of Hell:
there you will remain. How evil is the
abode of the arrogant!’

55. What God has promised

nothing in their hearts but a thirst
for a greatness they will never attain.
Seek refuge in God, for He is

One Day - when

[All will be judged] so
that God may reward
each soul as it deserves:

He sends thunderbolts to strike
whoever He will. Yet still they
dispute about God- He has
mighty plans.
On the Day of Resurrection,
the arrogant will be gathered
like ants in the form of men.
Humiliation will overwhelm them
from all sides. They will be driven
to a prison in Hell called Bawlas,
with the hottest fire rising over them,
and they will be given a drink of the

which is teenat al-khabaal.”

43. All the messengers
We sent before you were
simply men to whom We had
given the Revelation: you [people]
can ask those who have
knowledge if you
do not know.
44. We sent them with
clear signs and scriptures.
We have sent down the message
to you too [Prophet], so that you
can explain to people what
was sent for them, so
that they may reflect.
45. Are those who plan evil so
sure that God will not make the
earth swallow them up, that
punishment will not come
on them from some
unimagined direction,
46. that it will not catch them
suddenly in the midst of their
comings and goings- for they
cannot frustrate God-
47. or that it will not catch up
with them gradually? Indeed
your Lord is kind and merciful.
48. Do the [disbelievers] not
observe the things that God has
created, casting their shadows
right and left, submitting
themselves to God obediently?
49. It is to God that everything in
the heavens and earth submits,
every beast that moves,
even the angels- they are
free from arrogance:
50. they fear their Lord above
them, and they do as they
are commanded.
Pride:
is a feeling of deep pleasure
or satisfaction derived from
one's own achievements,
the achievements of those with
whom one is closely associated,
or from qualities or possessions
that are widely admired.
Arrogance:
exaggerating or disposed
to exaggerate one's own worth
or importance often by
an overbearing manner
showing an offensive
attitude of superiority.
Ignorance:
is a lack of knowledge
and information.
A person in the state
of being unaware,
or even defiantly
rebelling against truth,
individuals who are unaware
of important information or facts.

peace and blessings

then after you, will come people who recite
the Quran. They will say: We recite the
Quran, so who is better at reciting than us?
Who has more understanding than us? Who
has more knowledge than us?” Then the
Prophet turned to his companions and he
said, “Is there any good in these people?”
They said no. The Prophet said, “These
people are among you, from this nation.
These are fuel for the Hellfire.”

15. The people of 'Ad behaved
arrogantly throughout the land
without any right, saying, “Who
could be stronger than us?” Did
they not realize that God, who
created them, was stronger than
them?’ They continued to reject
Our message,
16. so We let a roaring wind loose
on them for a few disastrous days to
make them taste the punishment of
shame in this world; more shameful
still will be the punishment of the
life to come, and they will not be
helped.
17. As for Thamud, We gave them
guidance but they preferred
blindness, so they were struck by a
blast of humiliating punishment for
their misdeeds.
Allah's Messenger,
Peace Be Upon Him, Said:
“No one who has an atom’s-weight
of arrogance in his heart will enter

68. Can you be sure that God will not
have you swallowed up into the earth

Then you will find no one
to protect you.
69. Or can you be sure that He will not

violent storm against you to drown you
for being so ungrateful? You will find no

76. Qarun was one of
Moses’ people, but he
oppressed them. We had
given him such treasures that
even their keys would have
weighed down a whole
company of strong men. His
people said to him, ‘Do not
gloat, for God does not like
people who gloat.
77. Seek the life to come by
means of what God has
granted you, but do not
neglect your rightful share in
this world. Do good to
others as God has done good
to you. Do not seek to
spread corruption in the
land, for God does not love
those who do this,’
78. but he answered, ‘This
wealth was given to me on
account of the knowledge I
possess.’ Did he not know
that God had destroyed
many generations before
him, who had greater power
than him and built up greater
wealth? The guilty will not
be questioned about
their sins.
79. He went out among his
people in all his pomp, and
those whose aim was the life
of this world said, ‘If only
we had been given
something like what Qarun
has been given: he really is a
very fortunate man,’
80. but those who were
given knowledge said, ‘Alas
for you! God’s reward is
better for those who believe
and do good deeds: only
those who are steadfast will
attain this.’
81. We caused the earth to
swallow him and his home:
he had no one to help him
against God, nor could he
defend himself.
82. The next day, those who
had, the day before, wished
to be in his place exclaimed,
‘Alas [for you, Qarun]! It is
God alone who gives what
He will, abundantly or
sparingly, to whichever He
will of His creatures: if God
had not been gracious to us,
He would have caused the
earth to swallow us too.’
Alas indeed! Those who

73. The angels all
bowed down together,
74. but not Iblis (Satan),
who was too proud.
He became a rebel.
75. God said, ‘Iblis, what
prevents you from
bowing down to the man
I have made with
My own hands?
Are you too high
and mighty?’
76. Iblis said,
‘I am better than him:
You made me from fire,
and him from dark clay.’
77. ‘Get out of here!
You are rejected:
78. My rejection will
follow you til the Day
of Judgement!’
79. but Iblis said,
‘My Lord, grant me respite
until the Day when they are
raised from the dead,’
80. so He said,
‘You have respite
81. til the Appointed Day.’
82. Iblis said,
‘I swear by Your might!
I will tempt all
83. but Your true servants.’
84. God said, ‘This is the truth-
I speak only the truth-
85. I will fill Hell with you
and all those that follow you.’
86. [Prophet], say,
‘I ask no reward from you for this,
nor do I claim to be what I am not:
87. this is only a warning
for all people.
88. In time you will certainly
come to know its truth.’
The Quran
Surah Ghafir
The Forgiver
Verse 60-62
Your Lord says,
‘Call on Me and I
will answer you;
those who are too
proud to serve Me
will enter Hell
humiliated.’
It is God who
has given you the
night in which to rest
and the day in which
to see. God is truly
bountiful to people,
but most people do not
give thanks.
Such is God your Lord,
the Creator of all things:
there is no god but Him.
How can you be
so deluded?
The Quran
Surah Ghafir
The Forgiver
Verse 35
Those who dispute
about the Ayat
(proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) of Allah,
without any authority
that has come to them,
it is greatly hateful and
disgusting to Allah and
to those who believe.
Thus does Allah
seal up the heart of
every arrogant, tyrant.
(So they cannot guide
themselves to the
Right Path).
The Quran
Surah Az-Zukhruf
Ornaments of Gold
51. Pharaoh proclaimed to his people, ‘My
people, is the Kingdom of Egypt not mine
And these rivers that flow at my feet,
are they not mine? Do you not see?
52. Am I not better than this contemptible
wretch who can scarcely express himself?
53. Why has he not been given any gold
bracelets? Why have no angels come to
accompany him?’
54. In this way he moved his people
to accept and they obeyed him-
they were perverse people.
55. When they provoked Us, We
punished and drowned them all:
56. We made them a lesson
and an example for later people.
The Quran
Surah Al-Qasas
The Stories
Verse 38
Pharaoh said:
"O nobles, I do not know that
you have any god beside myself.
Haman, bake bricks out of clay
and build a lofty palace for me,
so that I may mount up and be
able to observe the god of Moses,
although, I believe that Moses is a liar."
The Quran
Surah An-Naml
The Ant
Verse 13-14
But when Our enlightening signs
came to them, they said,
‘This is clearly [just] sorcery!’
They denied them, in their wickedness
and their pride, even though their souls
acknowledged them as true. See how
those who spread corruption
met their end!
The Quran
Surah Al-Furqan
The Criterion
1. Blessed is He who
sent down the Criterion
upon His Servant that he may
be to the worlds a warner -
2. He to whom belongs
the dominion of the heavens
and the earth and Who has not
taken a son and has not had a
partner in dominion and has
created each thing and determined
it with [precise] measure.
3. But they have taken
besides Him gods which
create nothing, while they
are created, and possess not for
themselves any harm or benefit
and possess not
[power to cause] death
or life or resurrection.
The Quran
Surah Al-Baqarah
The Cow
204. And of the people
is he whose speech
pleases you in worldly life,
and he calls Allah to witness
as to what is in his heart,
yet he is the fiercest
of opponents.
205. And when he goes away,
he strives throughout the land
to cause corruption therein and
destroy crops and animals.
And Allah does not
like corruption.
206. And when
it is said to him,
"Fear Allah ,"
pride in the sin
takes hold of him.
Sufficient for him is
Hellfire,
and how wretched
is the resting place!
The Quran
Surah Al-Isra
The Night Journey
36. Do not follow blindly what
you do not know to be true:
ears, eyes, and heart, you
will be questioned
about all these.
37. Do not strut arrogantly
about the earth: you cannot
break it open, nor match
the mountains in height.
38. The evil of all these
actions is hateful
to your Lord.
The Quran
Surah Ibrahim
Abraham (PBUH)
Verse 15-17
They asked God to decide, and
every obstinate tyrant failed-
Hell awaits each one; he will
be given foul water to drink,
which he will try to gulp but
scarcely be able to swallow;
death will encroach on him from
every side, but he will not die; more
intense suffering will lie ahead of him.
The Quran
Surah An-Nahl
The Bee
22. Your God is
only One God.
As for those who
do not believe in
the Hereafter,
their hearts are
in denial,
and they are
too proud.
23. Without a doubt,
Allah knows what
they conceal and
what they reveal.
He certainly does not like
those who are too proud.
24. And when it is said to them,
“What has your Lord revealed?”
They say, “Ancient fables!”
25. Let them bear their burdens
in full on the Day of Judgment
as well as some of the burdens
of those they mislead
without knowledge.
Evil indeed is what
they will bear!
26. Indeed, those
before them had plotted,
but Allah struck at the foundation of
their structure, so the roof collapsed on
top of them, and the torment came upon
them from where they did not expect.
27. Then on the Day of Judgment
He will humiliate them and say,
“Where are My
so-called associate-gods
for whose sake you used
to oppose the believers?” Those
gifted with knowledge will say,
“Surely disgrace and misery today
are upon the disbelievers.”
28. Those whose souls
the angels [of death]
seize while they
wrong themselves
will then offer
full submission
and say falsely,
“We did not do any evil.”
The angels will say,
“No! Surely Allah fully
knows what you used to do.
29. So enter the gates of Hell, to
stay there forever. Indeed, what
an evil home for the arrogant!”
30. And when it is said
to those mindful of Allah,
“What has your Lord revealed?”
They say, “All the best!”
For those who do good
in this world, there is goodness.
But far better is the eternal Home
of the Hereafter. How excellent
indeed is the home of the righteous:
31. the Gardens of Eternity which
they will enter, under which rivers flow.
In it they will have whatever they desire.
This is how Allah rewards the righteous—
32. those whose souls the angels take
while they are virtuous, saying to them,
“Peace be upon you! Enter Paradise for
what you used to do.”
33. Are they only awaiting
the coming of the angels
or the command of your Lord
O Prophet?
So were those before them.
And Allah never wronged them, but
it was they who wronged themselves.
34. Then the evil consequences
of their deeds overtook them,
and they were overwhelmed by
what they used to ridicule.
35. And those who associate
others with Allah say,
"If Allah had willed, we
would not have worshipped
anything other than Him,
neither we nor our fathers,
nor would we have forbidden
anything through other than Him."
Thus did those do before them.
The duty upon the messengers is
to only deliver the clear warning.
The Quran
Surah Al-Hujurat
The Private Rooms
Verse 13
People,
We created you all
from a single man
and a single woman,
and made you into races
and tribes so that you should
recognize one another.
In God’s eyes, the most
honoured of you are the
ones most mindful of Him:
God is all knowing, all aware.
His Final Sermon
before he passed away:
“All humans are descended
from Adam and Eve,
There is no superiority of
an Arab over a non-Arab,
or of a non-Arab
over an Arab, and
no superiority of
a white person
over a black person
or of a black person
over a white person,
except on the basis of
personal piety
and righteousness.”
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
"He is not one of us
who calls to tribalism.
He is not one of us
who fights for
the sake of tribalism.
He is not one of us who dies
following the way of tribalism."
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
The Quran
Surah Fatir
Originator
Verse 43
They became more arrogant
in the land, and intensified their
plotting of evil - the plotting of evil
only rebounds on those who plot.
Do they expect anything but what
happened to earlier people? You
will never find any change in God’s
practice; you will never find
any deviation there.
The Quran
Surah Al-Isra
The Nighty Journey
Verse 16
When We decide to destroy a nation,
We command those corrupted
by wealth [to reform], but they
[persist in their] disobedience;
Our sentence is passed, and
We destroy them utterly.
The Quran
Surah Al-A'raf
The Heights
16. [Satan] said,
“Because You have put me in error,
I will surely sit in wait for them
on Your straight path.
17. Then I will
come to them
from in-front them
and from behind them
and on their right
and on their left,
and You will not find most
of them grateful [to You].”
18. [Allah] said,
“Get out of Paradise,
rejected and expelled.
Whoever follows you
among them –
I will surely fill Hell
with you, all together.”
The Quran
Surah Al-Isra
The Night Journey
Verse 64
And seduce whomsoever
of them you can with your voice.
Steer them shouting with your
cavalry and your infantry
(towards hell).
Be partners with them
in their wealth and children.
And make (false) promises to them.
Satan makes promises for them
only to deceive (to be arrogant).
The Quran
Surah As-Sajdah
The Prostration
Verse 13
Had We willed,
We could have easily
imposed guidance
on every soul.
But My Word
will come to pass:
I will surely fill up Hell
with jinn and humans
all together.
The Quran
Surah Al-Hijr
The Stone City
29. “When I have
completed shaping him
and have breathed
into him of My Spirit,
then fall you down before
him in prostration.”
30. So, the angels
- all of them -
fell down
in prostration.
31. but not Iblis (Satan),
who refused to prostrate
with the others.
32. Allah asked, “O Iblis!
What is the matter with you
that you did not join
others in prostration?”
33. He replied,
“It is not for me to
prostrate to a human
You created from
sounding clay
moulded from
black mud.”
34. Allah commanded,
“Then get out of Paradise,
for you are truly cursed.
35. And surely upon you
is condemnation until
the Day of Judgment.”
36. Satan appealed,
“My Lord!
Then delay
my end until
the Day of their
resurrection.”
37. Allah said,
“You will be delayed
38. until the appointed Day.”
39. Satan responded, “My Lord!
Because You have put me in error
I will surely tempt them on earth
and mislead them all together,
40. except Your
chosen servants
among them.”
41. Allah said,
“Devotion is the Path,
that leads straight to Me:
42. you will certainly
have no authority over
My servants, except the
deviant who follow you,
43. And surely, Hell
is the promised place
for them all.
44. It has seven gates;
for every gate is of them
a portion designated.”
