Timeless wisdom and guidance from the Holy Quran. Each verse is a reminder, a comfort, and a light.
مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ كَمَثَلِ الْعَنكَبُوتِ اتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًا ۖ وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنكَبُوتِ٤١
The example of those who take protectors other than Allah is like that of the spider that takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ٥٧
Every soul will taste death. Then to Us you will be returned.
وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ٦٩
And those who strive for Us—We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا٣٠
So set your face to the religion, inclining to truth—the nature of Allah upon which He has created people. There is no change in the creation of Allah.
فَانظُرْ إِلَىٰ آثَارِ رَحْمَتِ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا٥٠
So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah—how He gives life to the earth after its death. Indeed, He is the Giver of life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِن بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً٥٤
Allah is the One who created you in weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and old age. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent.
وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ١٣
And when Luqman said to his son while he was advising him, 'O my son, do not associate partners with Allah. Indeed, association with Him is a great injustice.'
يَا بُنَيَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا أَصَابَكَ١٧
O my son, establish prayer, enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and be patient over whatever befalls you. Indeed, that is of the matters of determination.
وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ١٨
And do not turn your cheek to people in contempt, and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allah does not like every self-deluded boasting boaster.
وَمَن يُسْلِمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ٢٢
And whoever submits his face to Allah while he is a doer of good has grasped the most trustworthy handhold. And to Allah end the outcome of all matters.
