    Surely Allah's guidance is the only true guidance

    }{

    And Allah proclaims the Truth and directs you to the Right Path.}{

    Surely, My Lord is on the straight path.}{

    Ask them (Muhammad!): "Shall we invoke, apart from Allah,

    something that can neither benefit nor harm us, and thus be turned

    back on our heels after Allah has guided us? Like the one whom the

    evil ones have lured into bewilderment in the earth, even though he

    has friends who call him to true guidance saying: "Come to us." Say:

    "Surely Allah's guidance is the only true guidance, and we have been

    commanded to submit ourselves to the Lord of the entire universe,

    and to establish Prayer, and to have fear of Him. It is to Him that all

    of you shall be gathered.

    Condemnation of shirk (associating partners to Allah)

    }{

    Ask them: 'Who provides you with sustenance out of the heavens

    and the earth? Who holds mastery over your hearing and sight?

    Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from theliving? Who governs all affairs of the universe?' They will surely say:

    'Allah.' Tell them: 'Will you, then, not shun (going against reality)? "

    Such, then, is Allah, your true Lord. And what is there after truth but

    error? How, then, are you being turned away?Thus the word of your

    Lord is fulfilled concerning the transgressors that they shall not

    believe.

    Ask them: 'Is there any among those whom you associate with Allah

    in His divinity who brings about the creation of all beings in the first

    instance and will then repeat it?' Tell them: 'It is Allah Who brings

    about the creation of all beings and will then repeat it. How are you,

    then, being misled?

    Ask them: 'Are there among ones whom you associate with Allah in

    His divinity those who can guide to the truth? Say: 'It is Allah alone

    Who guides to the truth.' Then, who is more worthy to be followed -

    The way of Ibrahim

    He Who guides to the truth, or he who cannot find the right way

    unless others guide him to it? What is wrong with you? How ill do

    you judge!

    Most of them only follow conjectures; and surely conjecture can be

    no substitute for truth. Allah is well aware of whatever they do.

    And recount to them the story of Abraham: when he asked his

    father and his people: "What do you worship? " They answered:

    "There are some idols that we worship and are devoted to them

    with constancy ".He asked: "Do they hear you when you call them or

    do they cause you any benefit or harm? "They answered: "No; butwe found our forefathers doing so ".Thereupon, Abraham said:

    "Have you seen (with your eyes) those whom you have been

    worshipping, you and your forefathers of yore?They are all enemies

    to me; all, except the Lord of the Universe Who created me and Who

    guides me; Who gives me food and drink, and Who, when I am ill,

    heals me; Who will cause me to die and then will again restore me to

    life; Who, I hope, will forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgment."

    Saying of the Holy Prophets

    }{

    Call to mind when Abraham said to his father and his people: I

    totally disown all whom you serve except the One Who created me;

    and, behold, it is He Who will direct me to the Right Way."}{

    Abraham said: I am going to my Lord; He will guide me.

    }{

    Have the accounts of your predecessors not reached you: the people of

    Noah, the Ad, the Thamud, and those who came after them - they whose

    The true religion (way of life) with Allah is Islam.

    So, what is the true Guidance of Allah?

    number is not known to any except Allah? Their Messengers came to

    them with Clear Signs, but they thrust their hands in their mouths, and

    said: "We do surely reject the Message you have brought, and we are in

    disquieting doubt about what you are summoning us to ".Their

    Messengers said: "Can there be any doubt about Allah, the Creator of

    the heavens and the earth? He invites you that He may forgive you your

    sins and grant you respite till an appointed term." They replied: "You are

    only a human being like ourselves. You seek to prevent us from serving

    those whom our forefathers have been serving all along. If that is so,

    produce a clear authority for it ".Their Messengers told them: "Indeed

    we are only human beings like yourselves, but Allah bestows His favouron those of His servants whom He wills. It does not lie in our power to

    produce any authority except by the leave of Allah. It is in Allah that the

    believers should put their trust . And why should we not put our trust in

    Allah when it is indeed He Who has guided us to the ways of our life? We

    shall surely continue to remain steadfast in face of your persecution. All

    those who have to put trust, should put their trust only in Allah."

    }{

    The true religion with Allah is Islam. The People of the Book adopted

    many different ways rather than follow the true way of Islam even

    after the knowledge of truth had reached them, and this merely to

    commit excesses against one another. Let him who refuses to follow

    Islam is the religion of all the holy prophets

    the ordinances and directives of Allah know that Allah is swift in His

    reckoning.}{

    This day the unbelievers have fully despaired of your religion. Do not

    fear them; but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your

    religion, and have bestowed upon you My bounty in full measure,

    and have been pleased to assign for you Islam as your religion.}{

    And whoever seeks a way other than Islam (this way a submission),

    will find that it will not be accepted from him and in the Life to come

    he will be among the losers.

    }{

    He has prescribed for you the religion which He enjoined upon Noah

    and which We revealed to you (O Muhammad), and which We

    enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus, commanding:

    Men! Now there has come to you the right guidance (Quran) from your Lord

    Establish this religion and do not split up regarding it. What you

    are calling to is very hard upon those who associate others with

    Allah in His Divinity. Allah chooses for Himself whomsoever He

    pleases and guides to Himself whoever penitently turns to Him.

    }{

    Men! Now there has come to you a good advice from your Lord, ahealing for whatever diseases there are in the hearts, and a guidance

    and mercy for those who believe.}{

    O men! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent

    down unto you a clear light.

    }{

    The Word of your Lord is perfect in truthfulness and justice; no one

    can change His words. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.}{

    [O people!] Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord

    [O Prophet!] When you do not produce before them any miracle, they

    say: 'Why do you not choose for yourself a miracle?' Say to them: 'I

    follow only what is revealed to me by my Lord. This is nothing but a

    means of insight into the truth, and guidance and mercy from your Lord

    to the people who believe.}{

    Nor may you claim that: 'Had the Book been revealed to us, we wouldhave been better guided than them.' Surely clear evidence has come to

    you from your Lord, which is both a guidance and a mercy. Who, then, is

    more unjust than he who gave the lie to the signs of Allah and turned

    away from them? And We shall soon requite those who turn away from

    Our signs with a severe chastisement for having turned away.

    }{

    [O people!] Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord andfollow no masters other than Him. Little are you admonished.

    Who is more unjust and astray than the one who

    Following the true guidance from you Lord is for your own good

    As for those who attained to faith and did righteous works and

    believed in what was revealed to Muhammad which indeed is the

    Truth from their Lord, Allah has remitted their evil deeds and has set

    their condition right.

    }{

    The lights of clear perception have now come to you from your Lord.Then, he who chooses to see clearly, does so for his own good; and

    he who chooses to remain blind, does so to his own harm. I am not

    your keeper.

    }{

    Tell them (O Muhammad): 'Men! Truth has come to you from your

    Lord. Whosoever, then, follows the true guidance does so for his

    own good; and whosoever strays, his straying will be to his own

    hurt. I am no custodian over you.

    Who would be more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah the

    while he is being called to Islam? Allah does not direct such evildoing

    folk to the Right Way.}{

    And who is in greater error than he who follows his lusts without

    any guidance from Allah? Allah does not guide those given to wrong-

    doing.
