The Religion before Allah is ISLAM (submission to His Will): Nor did
the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each
other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of
Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account. [3:19]
If anyone desires a religion other than ISLAM (submission to Allah.,
never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in
the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good). [3:85]
Say: "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom ye invoke besides
Allah,- seeing that the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord; and
I have been commanded to bow (in ISLAM) to the Lord of the Worlds."
[40:66]
They impress on thee as a favour that they have embraced ISLAM.
Say, "Count not your ISLAM as a favour upon me: Nay, Allah has
conferred a favour upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if
ye be true and sincere. [49:17]
They swear by Allah that they said nothing (evil), but indeed they
uttered blasphemy, and they did it after accepting ISLAM; and they
meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out: this revenge of
theirs was (their) only return for the bounty with which Allah and
His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it will be best for
them; but if they turn back (to their evil ways), Allah will punish
them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: They
shall have none on earth to protect or help them. [9:74]
Do they seek for other than the Religion of Allah.-while all
creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling,
bowed to His Will (Accepted ISLAM), and to Him shall they all be
brought back. [3:83]
It was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance and
light. By its standard have been judged the Jews, by the prophets who
bowed (as in ISLAM) to Allah's will, by the rabbis and the doctors of
law: for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's book, and
they were witnesses thereto: therefore fear not men, but fear me, and
sell not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by
(the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than)
Unbelievers. [5:44]
O ye who believe! Enter into ISLAM whole-heartedly; and follow not
the footsteps of the evil one; for he is to you an avowed enemy.
[2:208]
Say: "Shall I take for my protector any other than Allah, the Maker
of the heavens and the earth? And He it is that feedeth but is not
fed." Say: "Nay! but I am commanded to be the first of those who bow
to Allah (in ISLAM), and be not thou of the company of those who join
gods with Allah." [6:14]
Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against Allah,
even as he is being invited to ISLAM? And Allah guides not those who
do wrong. [61:7]
Is one whose heart Allah has opened to ISLAM, so that he has received
Enlightenment from Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to
those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of
Allah. they are manifestly wandering (in error)! [39:22]
Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their
breast to ISLAM; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh
their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the
skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to
believe. [6:125]
To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice), that they might
celebrate the name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from
animals (fit for food). But your Allah is One Allah. submit then your
wills to Him (in ISLAM): and give thou the good news to those who
humble themselves,- [22:34]
Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of
swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than
Allah. that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent
blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which
hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to
slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone
(altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with
arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given
up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day
have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you,
and have chosen for you ISLAM as your religion. But if any is forced
by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-
forgiving, Most Merciful. [5:3]
