Reading the Quran is one of the most inspirational things you'll ever do. I find when I'm in a particular mood certain Verses inspire me and my belief and love for Allah increases even more. Therefore in our Quran section I've wanted to keep things simple. So whatever emotions you find yourself going through at the moment, I hope the following categories below inspire and help you reconnect with Allah.
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them – out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah , then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account. Surat ‘Ali `Imran (Family of Imran) 3:19 And whoever desires other than Islam as religion – never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. Surat ‘Ali `Imran (Family of Imran) 3:85 O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason? Here you are – those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of … Continue reading
Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:268 And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins – and who can forgive sins except Allah ? – and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know. Surat Al-e-Imran 3:135 Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women – bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way. Surat An-Nisa 4:15 And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah … Continue reading
Exalted is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe. Surat Az Zukhruf 43:82 And Allah created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged. Surat Al-Jathiyah 45:22
And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit there from, they will say, “This is what we were provided with before.” And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:25
And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].

Surat Al-Baqarah 2:110 Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah . So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs ‘umrah – there is no blame upon him for walking between them.

How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:28 The Jews say “The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on,” and the Christians say, “The Jews have nothing to stand on,” although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words. But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:113 On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], “Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what … Continue reading

Who are certain that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:45-46 And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind – they, [the wives, shall] wait four months and ten [days]. And when they have fulfilled their term, then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable manner. And Allah is [fully] Acquainted with what you do. Surat Al-Baqarah … Continue reading
Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:37 And [recall] when Moses said to his people, “O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator.” Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:54 But if one fears from the bequeather [some] error or sin and corrects that which is between them, there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous – Surat Al-Baqarah 2:183 [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] – then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] – a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess – it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:184 The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him … Continue reading
Do you approach males among the worlds. And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing.” Surat Ash-Shu’ara 26:165-166 And when they commit an immorality, they say, “We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it.” Say, “Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?” Surat Al-Araf 7:28 And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, “Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.” Surat Al-Araf 7:80-81 And when Our messengers, [the angels], came to Lot, he was anguished for them and felt for them great discomfort and said, “This is a … Continue reading
They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, “In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit.” And they ask you what they should spend. Say, “The excess [beyond needs].” Thus Allah makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:219 O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.

On the Day We will say to Hell, “Have you been filled?” and it will say, “Are there some more,” Surat Qaf 50:30 But if you do not – and you will never be able to – then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

Surat Al-Baqarah 2:81 And when it is said to him, “Fear Allah ,” pride in the sin takes … Continue reading
And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise, watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason. Surat Ar-Ra’d 13:3-4 And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees – of its emerging … Continue reading
And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it]. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:42 Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar. Surat Ghafir 40:28 Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], “We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position.” Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever. Surat Az-Zumar 39:3 So who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah or denies His signs? Indeed, the criminals will not succeed Surat Yunus 10:17
And it is He who has created from water a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation].

And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women … Continue reading

Surat Al-Baqarah 2:153 Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction] Surat Al-e-Imran 3:125 Said Moses to his people, “Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants.

Allah has promised to inflict trials on all of us, testing us in one way or the other. And we only need to turn to Him each time asking for His mercy and guidance to lead us righteously out of the trials and tribulations, rather than to lose hope and commit one of the greatest sins by ending our lives. In one of the Surahs, Allah has said, “And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, “Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful.” So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allah ]. Surat Al-Anbya 21:83-84 And spend in the way of Allah and … Continue reading
Certainly will the believers have succeeded:They who are during their prayer humbly submissive And they who turn away from ill speech And they who are observant of zakah And they who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive And they who carefully maintain their prayers -Those are the inheritors Who will inherit al-Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.

And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. Surat Az Zukhruf 43:62
O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him.

And complete the Hajj and ‘umrah for Allah . But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity or sacrifice. And when you are secure, then whoever performs ‘umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals.

This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram. … Continue reading

Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, “Trade is [just] like interest.” But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] – those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:275 Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allah does not like every sinning disbeliever.
