Status Updates From The Koran Interpreted: A Tr...

(13:11)

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوۡمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْۗ

Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.

“Of these emissaries We have exalted some above others. To some God spoke directly; others He raised to a lofty status. We gave Jesus son of Mary indisputable signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had God pleased, those who succeeded them would not have fought against one another after the veritable signs had been given them.”

“Women shall with justice have rights similar to those exercised against them, although men have a status above women. God is mighty and wise.”

“Keep aloof from women during their menstrual periods and do not approach them until they are clean again; when they are clean, have intercourse with them whence God enjoined you. God loves those that turn to Him in penitence and strive to keep themselves clean.' Women are your fields: go, then, into your fields whence you please. Do good works and fear God.”

“Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. God knows, but you know
not.”

“Make the pilgrimage and visit the Sacred House for His sake.”

“Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is more grievous than bloodshed…Thus shall the unbelievers be rewarded: but if they mend their ways, know that God is forgiving and merciful. Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme.”

“In the month of Ramadän the Koran was revealed, a book of guidance for mankind with proofs of guidance distinguishing right from wrong?. Therefore whoever of you is present in that month let him fast.“

“Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed: a 2:178 free man for a free man, a slave for a slave, and a female for a female. He who is pardoned by his aggrieved brother shall be prosecuted according to usage and shall pay him a liberal fine. This is a merciful dispensation from your Lord. He that transgresses thereafter shall be sternly punished.”

“who, though he loves it dearly, gives away his wealth to kinsfolk, to orphans, to the destitute, to the traveller in need and to beggars, and for the redemption of captives; who attends to his prayers and renders the atms levy; who is true to his promises and steadfast in trial and adversity and in times of war. Such are the true believers”

“He has forbidden you carrion, blood, and the flesh of swine; also any flesh that is consecrated other than in the name of God.”
