O you who have believed, say not, "Rāʿinā" but say, "Unẓurnā" and listen. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment. (2.104) *** Setelah demikian banyak kata dihadapkan kepada Bani Israil, sekarang dihadapkan tuntunan bagi orang yang Mu'min sendiri, pengikut setia Rasul, agar mereka menjaga sopan-santun. Karena salah satu sebab keruntuhan jiwa Bani Israil itu ialah kerusakan akhlak mereka, terutama terhadap Nabi-nabi dan Rasul-rasul mereka. Di antara sopan-santun itu ialah kesopanan memilih kata-kata yang akan diucapkan.  Pilihlah kata-kata yang halus dan tidak bisa diartikan salah. "Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Janganlah kamu berkata : RA'INA, tetapi katakanlah UNZHURNA dan dengarkanlah baik-baik." Sepintas lalu, arti Ra'ina ialah "gembalakanlah kami", atau "bimbinglah kami". Dari kata Ri'ayah, dan yang digembalakan itu ialah ra'iyyah (dalam bahasa Indonesia menjadi rakyat). Tetapi dia bisa pula berarti la...

Dan tatkala telah diuji Ibrahim oleh TuhanNya dengan beberapa kalimat, maka telah dipenuhinya semuanya.  Diapun berfirman : Sesungguhnya Aku hendak menjadikan engkau Imam bagi manusia. Dia berkata : Dan juga dari antara anak cucuku Berfirman Dia : Tidaklah akan mencapai perjanjianKu itu kepada orang-orang yang zalim  (2.124) *** Dengan ini diperingatkan kembali siapa Ibrahim. Yang dibanggakan oleh kedua suku bangsa Bani Israil dan Bani Ismail sebagai nenek-moyang mereka. Itulah seorang besar yang telah lulus dari berbagai ujian. Tuhan telah mengujinya dengan beberapa kalimat, artinya beberapa ketentuan dari Tuhan. Dia telah diuji seketika menentang orang negerinya dan ayahnya sendiri yang menyembah berhala. Dia telah diuji sampai dibakar orang. Dia telah diuji, apakah kampung halaman yang lebih dikasihinya ataukah keyakinannya? Dia telah tinggalkan kampung halaman karena menegakkan keyakinan. Dia telah diuji karena sampai tua tidak beroleh putera. Dan setelah dia tua mendapat ...

(2:36) "Untuk kamu di bumi adalah tempat ketetapan dan bekal, sehingga sampai satu masa" (2.36) "Dan untuk kamu di bumi adalah tempat berdiam, dan perbekalan, sampai satu waktu." (2.36) *** وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّۭ وَمَتَـٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ Wa lakum fī al-arḍi mustaqarrun wa matāʿun ilā ḥīn. مُسْتَقَرٌّ (mustaqarrun) ق-ر-ر (Q-R-R) The root قَرَّ (qarra) conveys meanings related to stability, settling, rest, coolness, or permanence.  مَتَاعٌ (matāʿ) م-ت-ع (M-T-ʿ) The root مَتَعَ (mataʿa) conveys meanings related to enjoyment, benefit, utility, and provision. *** Disuruhnya mereka, semuanya, ketiganya, meninggalkan tempat itu, pindah ke bumi.

And splendid companions, well matched (78.33) A provision for you and for your cattle. (79.33) Then as for those who transgressed and preferred the worldly life.Then indeed, Hellfire will be his refuge. Whereas for the one who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained his self from the desire. Then indeed, Paradise will be his refuge. (79.37-41) On the Day they see it, they will feel as though they had stayed no more than one evening or one morning. (79.46) and then made the course of life easy for him (80.20) Yet man does not fulfil God’s commands (80.23) and cause the soil to split open (80.26) all this as a provision for you and your cattle (80.32) Mankind, what has lured you away from God. Who created you, fashioned you, and perfected your design. Moulding you in whatever form He willed? (82.6-8) Woe to those that deal in fraud. Those who take full measure when they buy from people, but give less when they measure or weigh for buyers. (83.1-3) whose last sip will smell like m...

Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving. (67.2) But there is forgiveness and a great reward for those who fear their Lord though they cannot see Him. (67.12) He is the One Who smoothed out the earth for you, so move about in its regions and eat from His provisions. And to Him is the Resurrection. (67.15) Do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up as it quakes violently? (67.16) Nūn , by the pen and what they write. (68.1) Then do not obey the deniers. They want you to compromise with them and then they will compromise with you.  And do not obey any contemptible one who swears much, the fault-finder who goes around slandering, the hinderer of good,1 the transgressor, the sinful, harsh, and after all that, notorious. Just because he has wealth and sons. (68.8) Wait patiently for your Lord’s judgement: do not be like the man in the whale who called out in distress....

On the Day Allah resurrects them all together, He will then inform them of what they have done. Allah has kept account of it all, while they have forgotten it. For Allah is a Witness over all things. (58.6) Conspiracy is only of the devil, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah's leave. In Allah let believers put their trust. (58.10) O believers! When you are told to make room in gatherings, then do so. Allah will make room for you. And if you are told to rise, then do so. Allah will elevate those of you who are faithful, and those gifted with knowledge in rank. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.(58.11) Have you not seen those who ally themselves with a people with whom Allah is displeased? They are neither with you nor with them.
