Haleem/Forbearing

What Quran Says About“Forbearing”(Haleem)


It is not fitting, for the Prophet and those who believe, that they should pray for forgiveness for Pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are companions of the Fire. [9:113] And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing. [9:114]

Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship? [37:85] "Is it a falsehood- gods other than Allah- that ye desire? [37:86] "Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?" [37:87] Then did he cast a glance at the Stars. [37:88] And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!" [37:89] So they turned away from him, and departed. [37:90] Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?... [37:91] "What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?" [37:92] Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand. [37:93] Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him). [37:94] He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved? [37:95] "But Allah has created you and your handwork!" [37:96] They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!" [37:97] (This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated! [37:98] He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me! [37:99] "O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!" [37:100] So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear. [37:101]

There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, "Peace!" He answered, "Peace!" and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf. [11:69] But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not: We have been sent against the people of Lut." [11:70] And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed: But we gave her glad tidings of Isaac, and after him, of Jacob. [11:71] She said: "Alas for me! shall I bear a child, seeing I am an old woman, and my husband here is an old man? That would indeed be a wonderful thing!" [11:72] They said: "Dost thou wonder at Allah's decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, o ye people of the house! for He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!" [11:73] When fear had passed from (the mind of) Abraham and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with us for Lut's people. [11:74] For Abraham was, without doubt, forbearing (of faults), compassionate, and given to look to Allah. [11:75]

O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [33:50] Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and Allah is All- Knowing, Most Forbearing. [33:51]

Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases Is) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-knowing, Al- wise. [4:11] In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question, has left neither ascendants nor descendants, but has left a brother or a sister, each one of the two gets a sixth; but if more than two, they share in a third; after payment of legacies and debts; so that no loss is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by Allah. and Allah is All-knowing, Most Forbearing. [4:12]

Those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die,- On them will Allah bestow verily a goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best provision. [22:58] Verily He will admit them to a place with which they shall be well pleased: for Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing. [22:59]
