Please
Note Well — It is not our intent to belittle, unduly criticize, or “bash” anyone who may hold religious or
political persuasions or opinions other than our own. Even though we may absolutely and totally disagree with your
opinion, we will defend to the death your G-d-given right to hold it. Since this website was
originally launched in 1995, we have continually held the position that We are not “anti-”anybody; we are only
pro-Truth [click here for the definition of “Truth”].
We firmly
believe that it can be proven with absolute certainty that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the revealed
Word of G-d,
and is the standard by which all knowledge and opinion must be judged. Information on this website that
concerns non-Biblical religious beliefs is provided for the sole purpose of comparing those beliefs with the
Revealed Truth of the Bible. We also attempt to
demonstrate how far the Body of Messiah has drifted from its Jewish origins. We earnestly await the return of
Messiah and the “Restoration of All Things” as promised by the prophets. If you disagree with our position,
please click this link.
As
the Olam Habah
quickly approaches, each of us is faced with some very difficult choices. One of these choices is whether or not
to defend ourselves from those who would force us to “submit” to the rule of Islam and Allah over every aspect of
our daily lives. (The word “Islam” literally means "to submit" or "to surrender" [to
Allah].) We have decided to stand with Joshua: “As for me and my household, we will serve
ADONAI!” (Jos
24:15 (CJB) -
Show Context)
Our
political and religious leaders tell us daily that Islam is a “peaceful religion” and that the great majority of
Muslims want only to live next to us in peace. However, it is expressly forbidden by the Qur'an for a Muslim to
accept a non-Muslim as a friend (Sura
3:28), and whoever does so “shall have nothing of Allah” (i.e., cannot, by their own definition, be a
true Muslim). If a person claims to be a Muslim, they must (by definition) believe the Qur'an; if
they claim to believe the Qur'an, they must believe the whole Qur'an, which says: “Say to those who
disbelieve [the Qur'an]: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place”
(Sura 3:12).
In Islamic eschatology (the teaching about the future) the ultimate goal of Islam is to
convert or kill all Jews and
Christians, and to have a one-world Islamic government and religion.

Due to
the numerous threats we have received from “peaceful” Muslims, we have been forced to remove our physical address
from the website. |

Please Note: In both
Islamic theology and uninformed Western society, the word “Allah” is often translated
“God,” as if Allah were the same as the G-d of the Bible
(which
he absolutely is not). Whenever “Allah”
has been translated as “God” in this copy of the Qur'an, we have corrected that grave
error by replaced that word with the correct designation “[Allah]”. |

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[11.1] Alif Lam Ra (This is) a Book, whose verses are made
decisive, then are they made plain, from the Wise, All-aware:
[11.2] That you shall not serve (any) but Allah; surely I am a
warner for you from Him and a giver of good news,
[11.3] And you that ask forgiveness of your Lord, then turn to Him;
He will provide you with a goodly provision to an appointed term and bestow His grace on
every one endowed with grace, and if you turn back, then surely I fear for you the
chastisement of a great day.
[11.4] To Allah is your return, and He has power over all things.
[11.5] Now surely they fold up their breasts that they may conceal
(their enmity) from Him; now surely, when they use their garments as a covering, He knows
what they conceal and what they make public; surely He knows what is in the breasts.
[11.6] And there is no animal in the earth but on Allah is the
sustenance of it, and He knows its resting place and its depository all (things) are in a
manifest book.
[11.7] And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six
periods-- and His dominion (extends) on the water-- that He might manifest to you, which of
you is best in action, and if you say, surely you shall be raised up after death, those who
disbelieve would certainly say: This is nothing but clear magic.
[11.8] And if We hold back from them the punishment until a stated
period of time, they will certainly say: What prevents it? Now surely on the day when it
will come to them, it shall not be averted from them and that which they scoffed at shall
beset them.
[11.9] And if We make man taste mercy from Us, then take it off
from him, most surely he is despairing, ungrateful.
[11.10] And if We make him taste a favor after distress has
afflicted him, he will certainly say: The evils are gone away from me. Most surely he is
exulting, boasting;
[11.11] Except those who are patient and do good, they shall have
forgiveness and a great reward.
[11.12] Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is
revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it because they say: Why has not a
treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him? You are only a warner; and Allah
is custodian over all things.
[11.13] Or, do they say: He has forged it. Say: Then bring ten
forged chapters like it and call upon whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.
[11.14] But if they do not answer you, then know that it is
revealed by Allah's knowledge and that there is no god but He; will you then submit?
[11.15] Whoever desires this world's life and its finery, We will
pay them in full their deeds therein, and they shall not be made to. suffer loss in respect
of them.
[11.16] These are they for whom there is nothing but fire in the
hereafter, and what they wrought in it shall go for nothing, and vain is what they do.
[11.17] Is he then who has with him clear proof from his Lord, and
a witness from Him recites it and before it (is) the Book of Musa, a guide and a mercy?
These believe in it; and whoever of the (different) parties disbelieves in it, surely it is
the truth from your Lord, but most men do not believe.
[11.18] And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against
Allah? These shall be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses shall say: These are they
who lied against their Lord. Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust.
[11.19] Who turn away from the path of Allah and desire to make it
crooked; and they are disbelievers in the hereafter.
[11.20] These shall not escape in the earth, nor shall they have
any guardians besides Allah; the punishment shall be doubled for them, they could not bear
to hear and they did not see.
[11.21] These are they who have lost their souls, and what they
forged is gone from them.
[11.22] Truly in the hereafter they are the greatest losers.
[11.23] Surely (as to) those who believe and do good and humble
themselves to their Lord, these are the dwellers of the garden, in it they will abide.
[11.24] The likeness of the two parties is as the blind and the
deaf and the seeing and the hearing: are they equal in condition? Will you not then mind?
[11.25] And certainly We sent Nuh to his people: Surely I am a
plain warner for you:
[11.26] That you shall not serve any but Allah, surely I fear for
you the punishment of a painful day.
[11.27] But the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his
people said: We do not consider you but a mortal like ourselves, and we do not see any have
followed you but those who are the meanest of us at first thought and we do not see in you
any excellence over us; nay, we deem you liars.
[11.28] He said: O my people! tell me if I have with me clear proof
from my Lord, and He has granted me mercy from Himself and it has been made obscure to you;
shall we constrain you to (accept) it while you are averse from it?
[11.29] And, O my people! I ask you not for wealth in return for
it; my reward is only with Allah and I am not going to drive away those who believe; surely
they shall meet their Lord, but I consider you a people who are ignorant:
[11.30] And, O my people! who will help me against Allah if I drive
them away? Will you not then mind?
[11.31] And I do not say to you that I have the treasures of Allah
and I do not know the unseen, nor do I say that I am an angel, nor do I say about those whom
your eyes hold in mean estimation (that) Allah will never grant them (any) good-- Allah
knows best what is in their souls-- for then most surely I should be of the unjust.
[11.32] They said: O Nuh! indeed you have disputed with us and
lengthened dispute with us, therefore bring to us what you threaten us with, if you are of
the truthful ones.
[11.33] He said: Allah only will bring it to you if He please, and
you will not escape:
[11.34] And if I intend to give you good advice, my advice will not
profit you if Allah intended that He should leave you to go astray; He is your Lord, and to
Him shall you be returned.
[11.35] Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: If I have forged it,
on me is my guilt, and I am clear of that of which you are guilty.
[11.36] And it was revealed to Nuh: That none of your people will
believe except those who have already believed, therefore do not grieve at what they do:
[11.37] And make the ark before Our eyes and (according to) Our
revelation, and do not speak to Me in respect of those who are unjust; surely they shall be
drowned.
[11.38] And he began to make the ark; and whenever the chiefs from
among his people passed by him they laughed at him. He said: If you laugh at us, surely we
too laugh at you as you laugh (at us).
[11.39] So shall you know who it is on whom will come a
chastisement which will disgrace him, and on whom will lasting chastisement come down.
[11.40] Until when Our command came and water came forth from the
valley, We said: Carry in it two of all things, a pair, and your own family-- except those
against whom the word has already gone forth, and those who believe. And there believed not
with him but a few.
[11.41] And he said: Embark in it, in the name of Allah be its
sailing and its anchoring; most surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.
[11.42] And it moved on with them amid waves like mountains; and
Nuh called out to his son, and he was aloof: O my son! embark with us and be not with the
unbelievers.
[11.43] He said: I will betake myself for refuge to a mountain that
shall protect me from the water. Nuh said: There is no protector today from Allah's
punishment but He Who has mercy; and a wave intervened between them, so he was of the
drowned.
[11.44] And it was said: O earth, swallow down your water, and O
cloud, clear away; and the water was made to abate and the affair was decided, and the ark
rested on the Judi, and it was said: Away with the unjust people.
[11.45] And Nuh cried out to his Lord and said: My Lord! surely my
son is of my family, and Thy promise is surely true, and Thou art the most just of the
judges.
[11.46] He said: O Nuh! surely he is not of your family; surely he
is (the doer of) other than good deeds, therefore ask not of Me that of which you have no
knowledge; surely I admonish you lest you may be of the ignorant
[11.47] He said: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from asking Thee
that of which I have no knowledge; and if Thou shouldst not forgive me and have mercy on me,
I should be of the losers.
[11.48] It was said: O Nuh! descend with peace from Us and
blessings on you and on the people from among those who are with you, and there shall be
nations whom We will afford provisions, then a painful punishment from Us shall afflict
them.
[11.49] These are announcements relating to the unseen which We
reveal to you, you did not know them-- (neither) you nor your people-- before this;
therefore be patient; surely the end is for those who guard (against evil).
[11.50] And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He said: O my
people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He; you are nothing but forgers (of lies).
[11.51] O my people! I do not ask of you any reward for it; my
reward is only with Him Who created me; do you not then understand?
[11.52] And, O my people! ask forgiveness of your Lord, then turn
to Him; He will send on you clouds pouring down abundance of rain and add strength to your
strength, and do not turn back guilty.
[11.53] They said: O Hud! you have not brought to us any clear
argument and we are not going to desert our gods for your word, and we are not believers in
you:
[11.54] We cannot say aught but that some of our gods have smitten
you with evil. He said: Surely I call Allah to witness, and do you bear witness too, that I
am clear of what you associate (with Allah).
[11.55] Besides Him, therefore scheme against me all together; then
give me no respite:
[11.56] Surely I rely on Allah, my Lord and your Lord; there is no
living creature but He holds it by its forelock; surely my Lord is on the right path.
[11.57] But if you turn back, then indeed I have delivered to you
the message with which I have been sent to you, and my Lord will bring another people in
your place, and you cannot do Him any harm; surely my Lord is the Preserver of all things.
[11.58] And when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Hud and
those who believed with him with mercy from Us, and We delivered them from a hard
chastisement.
[11.59] And this was Ad; they denied the communications of their
Lord, and disobeyed His apostles and followed the bidding of every insolent opposer (of
truth).
[11.60] And they were overtaken by curse in this world and on the
resurrection day; now surely Ad disbelieved in their Lord; now surely, away with Ad, the
people of Hud.
[11.61] And to Samood (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my
people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He; He brought you into being from the
earth, and made you dwell in it, therefore ask forgiveness of Him, then turn to Him; surely
my Lord is Nigh, Answering.
[11.62] They said: O Salih! surely you were one amongst us in whom
great expectations were placed before this; do you (now) forbid us from worshipping what our
fathers worshipped? And as to that which you call us to, most surely we are in disquieting
doubt.
[11.63] He said: O my people! tell me if I have clear proof from my
Lord and He has granted to me mercy from Himself-- who will then help me against Allah if I
disobey Him? Therefore you do not add to me other than loss:
[11.64] And, O my people! this will be (as) Allah's she-camel for
you, a sign; therefore leave her to pasture on Allah's earth and do not touch her with evil,
for then a near chastisement will overtake you.
[11.65] But they slew her, so he said: Enjoy yourselves in your
abode for three days, that is a promise not to be belied.
[11.66] So when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Salih and
those who believed with him by mercy from Us, and (We saved them) from the disgrace of that
day; surely your Lord is the Strong, the Mighty.
[11.67] And the rumbling overtook those who were unjust, so they
became motionless bodies in their abodes,
[11.68] As though they had never dwelt in them; now surely did
Samood disbelieve in their Lord; now surely, away with Samood.
[11.69] And certainly Our messengers came to Ibrahim with good
news. They said: Peace. Peace, said he, and he made no delay in bringing a roasted calf.
[11.70] But when he saw that their hands were not extended towards
it, he deemed them strange and conceived fear of them. . They said: Fear not, surely we are
sent to Lut's people.
[11.71] And his wife was standing (by), so she laughed, then We
gave her the good news of Ishaq and after Ishaq of (a son's son) Yaqoub.
[11.72] She said: O wonder! shall I bear a son when I am an
extremely old woman and this my husband an extremely old man? Most surely this is a
wonderful thing.
[11.73] They said: Do you wonder at Allah's bidding? The mercy of
Allah and His blessings are on you, O people of the house, surely He is Praised, Glorious.
[11.74] So when fear had gone away from Ibrahim and good news came
to him, he began to plead with Us for Lut's people.
[11.75] Most surely Ibrahim was forbearing, tender-hearted,
oft-returning (to Allah):
[11.76] O Ibrahim! leave off this, surely the decree of your Lord
has come to pass, and surely there must come to them a chastisement that cannot be averted.
[11.77] And when Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved for
them, and he lacked strength to protect them, and said: This is a hard day.
[11.78] And his people came to him, (as if) rushed on towards him,
and already they did evil deeds. He said: O my people! these are my daughters-- they are
purer for you, so guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do not disgrace me with regard
to my guests; is there not among you one right-minded man?
[11.79] They said: Certainly you know that we have no claim on your
daughters, and most surely you know what we desire.
[11.80] He said: Ah! that I had power to suppress you, rather I
shall have recourse to a strong support.
[11.81] They said: O Lut! we are the messengers of your Lord; they
shall by no means reach you; so remove your followers in a part of the night-- and let none
of you turn back-- except your wife, for surely whatsoever befalls them shall befall her;
surely their appointed time is the morning; is not the morning nigh?
[11.82] So when Our decree came to pass, We turned them upside down
and rained down upon them stones, of what had been decreed, one after another.
[11.83] Marked (for punishment) with your Lord and it is not far
off from the unjust.
[11.84] And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said: O
my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He, and do not give short measure and
weight: surely I see you in prosperity and surely I fear for you the punishment of an
all-encompassing day.
[11.85] And, O my people! give full measure and weight fairly, and
defraud not men their things, and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief:
[11.86] What remains with Allah is better for you if you are
believers, and I am not a keeper over you.
[11.87] They said: O Shu'aib! does your prayer enjoin you that we
should forsake what our fathers worshipped or that we should not do what we please with
regard to our property? Forsooth you are the forbearing, the right-directing one.
[11.88] He said: O my people! have you considered if I have a clear
proof from my Lord and He has given me a goodly sustenance from Himself, and I do not desire
that in opposition to you I should betake myself to that which I forbid you: I desire
nothing but reform so far as I am able, and with none but Allah is the direction of my
affair to a right issue; on Him do I rely and to Him do I turn:
[11.89] And, O my people! let not opposition to me make you guilty
so that there may befall you the like of what befell the people of Nuh, or the people of Hud,
or the people of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you;
[11.90] And ask forgiveness of your Lord, then turn to Him; surely
my Lord is Merciful, Loving-kind.
[11.91] They said: O Shu'aib! we do not understand much of what you
say and most surely we see you to be weak among us, and were it not for your family we would
surely stone you, and you are not mighty against us.
[11.92] He said: O my people! is my family more esteemed by you
than Allah? And you neglect Him as a thing cast behind your back; surely my Lord encompasses
what you do:
[11.93] And, O my people! act according to your ability, I too am
acting; you will come to know soon who it is on whom will light the punishment that will
disgrace him and who it is that is a liar, and watch, surely I too am watching with you.
[11.94] And when Our decree came to pass We delivered Shu'aib, and
those who believed with him by mercy from Us, and the rumbling overtook those who were
unjust so they became motionless bodies in their abodes,
[11.95] As though they had never dwelt in them; now surely
perdition overtook Madyan as had perished Samood.
[11.96] And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications and a
clear authority,
[11.97] To Firon and his chiefs, but they followed the bidding of
Firon, and Firon's bidding was not right-directing.
[11.98] He shall lead his people on the resurrection day, and bring
them down to the fire; and evil the place to which they are brought.
[11.99] And they are overtaken by curse in this (world), and on the
resurrection day, evil the gift which shall be given.
[11.100] This is an account of (the fate of) the towns which We
relate to you; of them are some that stand and (others) mown down.
[11.101] And We did not do them injustice, but they were unjust to
themselves, so their gods whom they called upon besides Allah did not avail them aught when
the decree of your Lord came to pass; and they added but to their ruin.
[11.102] And such is the punishment of your Lord when He punishes
the towns while they are unjust; surely His punishment is painful, severe.
[11.103] Most surely there is a sign in this for him who fears the
chastisement of the hereafter; this is a day on which the people shall be gathered together
and this is a day that shall be witnessed.
[11.104] And We do not delay it but to an appointed term.
[11.105] On the day when it shall come, no soul shall speak except
with His permission, then (some) of them shall be unhappy and (others) happy.
[11.106] So as to those who are unhappy, they shall be in the fire;
for them shall be sighing and groaning in it:
[11.107] Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth
endure, except as your Lord please; surely your Lord is the mighty doer of what He intends.
[11.108] And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the
garden, abiding in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord
please; a gift which shall never be cut off.
[11.109] Therefore be not in doubt as to what these worship; they
do not worship but as their fathers worshipped before; and most surely We will pay them back
in full their portion undiminished.
[11.110] And certainly We gave the book to Musa, but it was gone
against; and had not a word gone forth from your Lord, the matter would surely have been
decided between them; and surely they are in a disquieting doubt about it.
[11.111] And your Lord will most surely pay back to all their deeds
in full; surely He is aware of what they do.
[11.112] Continue then in the right way as you are commanded, as
also he who has turned (to Allah) with you, and be not inordinate (O men!), surely He sees
what you do.
[11.113] And do not incline to those who are unjust, lest the fire
touch you, and you have no guardians besides Allah, then you shall not be helped.
[11.114] And keep up prayer in the two parts of the day and in the
first hours of the night; surely good deeds take away evil deeds this is a reminder to the
mindful.
[11.115] And be patient, for surely Allah does not waste the reward
of the good-doers.
[11.116] But why were there not among the generations before you
those possessing understanding, who should have forbidden the making of mischief in the
earth, except a few of those whom We delivered from among them? And those who were unjust
went after what they are made to enjoy of plenty, and they were guilty.
[11.117] And it did not beseem your Lord to have destroyed the
towns tyrannously, while their people acted well.
[11.118] And if your Lord had pleased He would certainly have made
people a single nation, and they shall continue to differ.
[11.119] Except those on whom your Lord has mercy; and for this did
He create them; and the word of your Lord is fulfilled: Certainly I will fill hell with the
jinn and the men, all together.
[11.120] And all we relate to you of the accounts of the apostles
is to strengthen your heart therewith; and in this has come to you the truth and an
admonition, and a reminder to the believers.
[11.121] And say to those who do not believe: Act according to your
state; surely we too are acting.
[11.122] And wait; surely we are waiting also.
[11.123] And Allah's is the unseen in the heavens and the earth,
and to Him is returned the whole of the affair; therefore serve Him and rely on Him, and
your Lord is not heedless of what you do.
