And every man’s works have We fastened to his neck, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open. Read thy book. Sufficient is thy own soul this day as reckoner against thee. (17:14,15)
Then they argued their affair among themselves and conferred in secret.(20:63)
And their hearts are forgetful. And they keep their counsels secret — those who act wrongfully, then say, ‘Is this man aught but a human being like ourselves? Will you then accede to magic while you see it?’(21:4)
Hast thou not seen those who were forbidden to hold secret counsels and again return to what they were forbidden, and confer secretly for sin and transgression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to thee, they greet thee with a greeting with which Allah has not greeted thee; but among themselves they say, ‘Why does not Allah punish us for what we say?’ Sufficient for them is Hell, wherein they will burn; and a most evil destination it is!(58:9)
And Noah said, ‘My Lord, leave not in the land a single one of the disbelievers; ‘For, if Thou dost leave them, they will only lead astray Thy servants and will not give birth but to a sinner and a disbeliever. (71:27,28)
Kill not your children for fear of poverty. It is We Who provide for them and for you. Surely, the killing of them is a great sin.(17:32)
And come not near unto adultery; surely, it is a foul thing and an evil way. And kill not the soul which Allah has forbidden save for just cause. And whoso is killed wrongfully, We have surely given his heir authority to demand retaliation, but let him not exceed the prescribed bounds in slaying; for therein he is helped by law.(17:33,34)
And he said, ‘What thinkest Thou? Can this whom Thou hast honoured above me be my superior? If Thou wilt grant me respite till the Day of Resurrection, I will most surely bring his descendants under my sway except a few.’ He said, ‘Begone! and whoso shall follow thee from among them, Hell shall surely be the recompense of you all — an ample recompense. And entice whomsoever of them thou canst, with thy voice, and urge against them thy horsemen and thy footmen and be their partner in wealth, and children, and make promises to them.’ And Satan promises them naught but deceit. As to My servants, thou shalt certainly have no power over them, and sufficient is thy Lord as a Guardian. (17:63-66)
Has, then, your Lord honoured you with sons, and taken for Himself females from among the angels? Surely, you say a grievous saying. We have explained the truth in this Qur’an in the various ways that they may be admonished, but it only increases them in aversion.(17:41,42)
But whoso is blind in this world will be blind in the Hereafter, and even more astray from the way.(17:73)
