So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers." (Translation by Sahih International)

Explanation: This verse highlights the importance of the Torah in the life of Jews, as it contains guidance and light. The prophets and scholars of the Jews are also said to have used the Torah to judge them. The verse also stresses the importance of fearing Allah and not to compromise His verses for worldly gain.

Surah Al-An'am (Chapter 6), verse 84:

Translation: "And We gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - all [of them] We guided. And Noah, We guided before; and among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the doers of good." (Translation by Sahih International)

Explanation: This verse highlights some of the prophets who were guided by Allah and mentions them by name. It also emphasizes that those who do good deeds are rewarded by Allah.

Surah Al-An'am (Chapter 6), verse 91:

Translation: "And they did not appraise Allah with true appraisal when they said, "Allah did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, [O Muhammad], "Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much. And you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, "Allah [revealed it]." Then leave them in their [empty] discourse, amusing themselves." (Translation by Sahih International)

Explanation: This verse rebukes the Jews who did not acknowledge the divine origin of the Torah and claimed that it was not revealed to any human being. The verse asks the Jews to consider who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought and emphasizes that it was Allah who revealed it. The Jews are then advised to leave their empty discourse and not to amuse themselves.

Surah A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 103-171:

Translation: These verses recount the stories of different prophets, including Adam, Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot, Shu'aib, Moses, and Aaron. The verses also warn the disbelievers of the consequences of their actions and urge them to repent and turn to Allah.

Explanation: These verses present a series of stories of the prophets and their struggles with the disbelievers. The verses also warn the disbelievers of the consequences of their actions and urge them to repent and turn to Allah.

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 122-130:

Translation:

"And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building."

Brief Explanation:

These verses describe how Allah had granted the Children of Israel the land that had been under the control of the Pharaoh who had oppressed them for many years. This was a reward for their patience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 127-136:

Translation:

"And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said," Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them." Moses said 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. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous." They said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."

Brief Explanation:

These verses recount the story of Moses (Musa) and how he challenged Pharaoh's authority. The Pharaoh threatened to kill the sons of the Children of Israel and keep their women alive. Moses asked his people to seek Allah's help and be patient. Allah promises that the righteous will inherit the earth.

Surah Al-Araf (Chapter 7), verses 137-138:

Translation:

"And We made the people considered weak (and of no account) inheritors of lands in both east and west, lands whereon We sent down Our blessings. The fair promise of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because they had patience and constancy, and We leveled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his people erected."

Brief Explanation:

These verses refer to the Children of Israel and how Allah granted them land in both the east and west, which had been blessed by Him. They were able to inherit this land because of their patience and perseverance, and Allah destroyed the great works and buildings that Pharaoh and his people had built.

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 141-144:

Translation: "And when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with the worst torment, slaying your sons and sparing your women. And in that was a great trial from your Lord. And when We parted the sea for you, so We saved you and drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were looking on. And when We made an appointment with Moses for forty nights, then you took the calf for worship after him, and you were wrongdoers. Then We forgave you after that, that you might be grateful."

Explanation: These verses remind the Children of Israel of how Allah saved them from the tyranny of Pharaoh and his people, and the great trial that they went through as a result. Allah saved them by parting the sea for them, while drowning Pharaoh and his people. Despite this great blessing, the Children of Israel fell into idol worship by worshipping a golden calf, and Allah forgave them after they repented.

Surah Al-Araf (Chapter 7), verses 143-144:

Translation: "And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, 'My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.' [Allah] said, 'You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me.' But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, 'Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers.'"

Explanation: These verses describe the incident where Prophet Moses asked Allah to show Himself to him, but Allah informed him that he would not be able to see Him. Allah, however, manifested Himself to the mountain, and the mountain crumbled as a result. When Moses saw this, he fell unconscious, and when he regained consciousness, he praised Allah and repented to Him.

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 150-152:

Translation: "And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, 'How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?' And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, 'O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people.' [Moses] said, 'My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful.'"

Explanation: These verses describe the incident where Prophet Moses returned from his meeting with Allah, only to find that his people had fallen into idol worship. He was angry and grieved by their actions, and threw down the tablets that contained the commandments from Allah. Moses then took hold of his brother, Aaron, by his hair, but Aaron explained that he was forced into the situation by the people. Moses then asked Allah to forgive him and his brother, and to admit them into His mercy.

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 155-157:

"And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers. And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those who believe in Our verses -"

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 160-165:

"And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves. And [mention] when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens,' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]." But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing. And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient."

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 171-179:

"And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them, [and Allah said], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allah." And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware." Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?" And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return. And recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.

Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter 7), verses 173-179:

Translation: "Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah has not yet made evident those of you who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast?" And you had certainly wished for martyrdom before you encountered it, and you have [now] seen it [before you] while you were looking on. Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the grateful. And it is not [possible] for one to die except by permission of Allah at a decree determined. And whoever desires the reward of this world - We will give him thereof; and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter - We will give him thereof. And we will reward the grateful.

Explanation: In these verses, Allah is addressing the believers who are eager to attain paradise. He asks them if they think they can enter paradise without proving their devotion by fighting in His cause and remaining steadfast in their faith. Allah also reminds the believers that the Prophet Muhammad is not the first messenger, and if he were to die, it should not cause them to abandon their faith. Allah reassures the believers that no one can die except by His permission and that those who strive for His sake will be rewarded in both this world and the hereafter.

Surah Yunus (Chapter 10), verses 75-93:

Translation: These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Indeed, you are from among the messengers. [We sent them] with clear proofs and written ordinances. And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought. Then, do those who have planned evil deeds feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or that the punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive? Or that He would not seize them during their [usual] activity, and they could not cause failure? Or that He would not seize them gradually [in a state of dread]? But indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful. Have they not considered what things Allah has created? Their shadows incline to the right and to the left, prostrating to Allah, while they are humble. And to Allah prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of creatures, and the angels [as well], and they are not arrogant. They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.

Explanation: In these verses, Allah is addressing the Prophet Muhammad and reminding him that the Quran is the truth that has been revealed to him, and it contains clear proofs and written ordinances for the guidance of mankind. Allah also warns those who plan evil deeds that they cannot escape His punishment, and they should fear His wrath. Allah reminds the believers to reflect on His creation, including the natural phenomena of the shadows that incline to the right and left, and how everything prostrates to Him in humility. The believers are encouraged to fear Allah and to do what they are commanded.

Surah Hud (Chapter 11), verses 96-110:

Translation:

"Indeed, We sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they followed the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was not [at all] discerning.

He will precede his people on the Day of Resurrection and lead them into the Fire; and wretched is the place to which they are led.

And they were followed in this [world] with a curse and on the Day of Resurrection. And wretched is the gift which is given.

That is from the news of the cities, which We relate to you; of them, some are [still] standing and some are [as] a harvest [mowed down].

And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than Allah when there came the command of your Lord. And they did not increase them in other than ruin."

Explanation:

These verses mention the story of Prophet Moses and his confrontation with Pharaoh. The people of Pharaoh followed his unjust command and thus earned a place in Hell. The verses also mention the fate of those who reject Allah's guidance and rely on false gods.

Surah Ibrahim (Chapter 14), verses 4-13:

Translation: "And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, [saying], "Bring out your people from darknesses into the light and remind them of the days of Allah." Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful. And [recall, O Children of Israel], when Moses said to His people, "Remember the favor of Allah upon you when He saved you from the people of Pharaoh, who were afflicting you with the worst torment and were slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord. And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.'" And Moses said, "If you should disbelieve, you and whoever is on the earth entirely - indeed, Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy." Has there not reached you the news of those before you - the people of Noah and 'Aad and Thamud and those after them? No one knows them except Allah. Their messengers brought them clear proofs, but they returned their hands to their mouths and said, "Indeed, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent, and indeed, we are about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt." Their messengers said, "Can there be doubt about Allah, Creator of the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you of your sins, and He delays your death for a specified term." They said, "You are not but men like us who wish to avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us a clear authority." Their messengers said to them, "We are only men like you, but Allah confers favor upon whom He wills of His servants. It has never been for us to bring you evidence except by permission of Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely."

Explanation: These verses discuss the role of messengers in the revelation of Allah's message to people. The verses emphasize the importance of being grateful to Allah, reminding the people of the favor Allah bestowed upon them when He saved them from the people of Pharaoh. The verses also recount the stories of messengers before Moses, who were sent to guide people to the right path but were rejected and disbelieved by their people.

Surah Ibrahim (Chapter 14), verses 5-14:

Translation:

5. And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, [saying], "Bring out your people from darknesses into the light and remind them of the days of Allah ." Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.

And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Remember the favor of Allah upon you when He saved you from the people of Pharaoh, who were afflicting you with the worst torment and were slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.

And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' "

And Moses said, "If you should disbelieve, you and whoever is on the earth entirely - indeed, Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy."

Has there not reached you the news of those before you - the people of Noah and 'Aad and Thamud and those after them? No one knows them but Allah . Their messengers brought them clear proofs, but they returned their hands to their mouths and said, "Indeed, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent, and indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt."

Their messengers said, "Can there be doubt about Allah, Creator of the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you of your sins, and He delays your death for a specified term." They said, "You are not but men like us who wish to avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us a clear authority."

Their messengers said to them, "We are only men like you, but Allah confers favor upon whom He wills of His servants. It has never been for us to bring you evidence except by permission of Allah . And upon Allah let the believers rely.

And why should we not rely upon Allah while He has guided us to our [good] ways. And we will surely be patient against whatever harm you should cause us. And upon Allah let those who would rely [indeed] rely."

And those who disbelieved said to their messengers, "We will surely drive you out of our land, or you must return to our religion." So their Lord inspired to them, "We will surely destroy the wrongdoers."

Explanation:

In these verses, Allah reminds people that He sent prophets to guide humanity in their own languages. Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) is specifically mentioned here, and his mission to guide the Israelites to the truth is highlighted. Moses reminded his people of the favors of Allah upon them, especially when He saved them from the Pharaoh's tyranny. But despite clear signs and proofs, some people still chose to disbelieve and reject the message of their prophets. The messengers of Allah emphasized that there should be no doubt about Allah's existence and power, and that He invites people to seek forgiveness for their sins. However, the disbelievers refused to listen and threatened to drive out their prophets or force them to convert to their own religion. 

Surah Al-Isra (Chapter 17), verses 101-104:

Translation:

"And to Moses We gave nine clear signs. Ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic." [Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."

Explanation:

In these verses, Allah reminds us of the miraculous signs given to Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) to prove his prophethood to Pharaoh and the Children of Israel. These signs included the staff that turned into a serpent, the leprous hand that was cured, and the plagues that were sent upon Egypt. However, despite witnessing these clear signs, Pharaoh rejected the truth and accused Moses of being a magician.

Surah Maryam (Chapter 19), verses 51-53:

Translation:

"And mention in the Book [the story of] Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet. And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakah and was to his Lord pleasing. And mention in the Book [the story of] Idris. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet."

Explanation:

These verses mention two prophets, Ishmael and Idris (peace be upon them). Ishmael, the son of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), is described as a messenger and prophet who called his people to worship Allah alone and to establish prayer and charity. Idris is described as a man of truth and a prophet. Although not much is known about him, his mention in the Quran indicates his importance as a prophet of Allah.

Surah Ta-Ha (Chapter 20), verses 9-98:

Translation:

"We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed, but only as a reminder for those who fear [Allah]. A revelation from He who created the earth and highest heavens, the Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil. And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden. Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names."

Explanation:

These verses remind us that the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a reminder for those who fear Allah, and as a guidance for humanity. It also emphasizes the oneness of Allah and His supreme power and knowledge over all things. Allah is the Creator of the earth and heavens and everything in between, and nothing is hidden from Him. The verses also mention the importance of calling upon Allah using His beautiful names.

Surah Taha (Chapter 20), verses 10-40:

Translation:

"We have bestowed upon you before, O Moses, [the favor of] Our command, and appointed for you your mother and sister, that you might be satisfied. And [recall] when We commanded, 'Throw your staff,' and at once it devoured what they were falsifying. So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing. And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased. And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah ]. They said, 'We have believed in the Lord of the worlds, the Lord of Moses and Aaron.'"

Explanation:

These verses tell the story of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and his encounter with Pharaoh. Allah reminds Moses of the favors that He had bestowed upon him, including his mother and sister. Then, Allah commands Moses to throw his staff, which is transformed into a serpent and devours the serpents of Pharaoh's magicians. This miracle convinces the magicians that Moses is a true prophet of Allah, and they prostrate themselves in submission. Pharaoh and his people, however, continue in their disbelief and are ultimately overcome.

Surah Al-Anbiya (Chapter 21), verses 5-6:

Translation:

"Nay, they say, [the Quran is] the medley of dreams! [Rather], he has invented it! Nay, he is a poet! So let him bring us a sign like that which was sent to [the prophets] of old!"

Explanation:

These verses describe the attitude of the disbelievers towards the Quran. They dismiss it as a mere collection of dreams or a product of the Prophet's imagination. Some accuse him of being a poet, implying that he is merely using flowery language to deceive people. They challenge him to produce a miracle like those given to previous prophets, as a way of proving his claims.

Surah Al-Anbiya (Chapter 21), verses 48-71:

Translation:

"And We had already given Moses and Aaron the criterion [of right and wrong] and a light and a reminder for the righteous. Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive. And this [Quran] is a blessed message which We have sent down. Then are you with it unacquainted? And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing, When he said to his father and his people, 'What are these statues to which you are devoted?' They said, 'We found our fathers worshippers of them.' He said, 'You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error.' They said, 'Have you brought us the truth, or are you one of those who jest?' He said, 'No, [my Lord is] the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify.'"

Explanation:

These verses highlight the message of the Quran as a blessed reminder sent down by Allah, and remind the believers of the prophets who came before. Moses and Aaron were given the criterion of right and wrong, as well as a light to guide them in their mission. Abraham was also given sound judgment, and he questioned the idolatry of his father and his people. When they challenged him, he affirmed his belief in Allah as the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and his mission as a witness to that truth.

Surah Al-Anbiya (Chapter 21), verses 51-71:

"And indeed, We gave Abraham his guidance before, and We were of him well-Knowing. When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?" They said, "We found our fathers worshiping them." He said, "You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error." They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?" He said, "[No], rather, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth who created them, and I, to that, am of those who testify. And [I swear] by Allah , I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away." So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question]. They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers." They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham." They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify." They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?" He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak." So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers." Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!" He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you? Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah . Then will you not use reason?""

This passage tells the story of the Prophet Abraham's confrontation with his people, who were idol-worshippers. He challenged them to reflect on the absurdity of their beliefs and to turn away from their false idols. When they persisted in their misguided ways, he destroyed their idols to prove that they had no power and that Allah is the only true God.

Surah Al-Anbiya (Chapter 21), verses 74-82:

Translation: "And (remember) Lut, when he said to his people: 'Do you commit an obscenity that no one has preceded you in creation? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. You are indeed an excessively transgressing people.' But the answer of his people was nothing except that they said: 'Drive them out of your town. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure.'" So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; We ordained her to be of those who stayed behind. And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals."

Explanation: These verses mention the Prophet Lut (Lot) and his attempts to guide his people away from committing the sin of homosexuality. The people rejected his message and persisted in their behavior, ultimately leading to their destruction.

Surah Al-Mu'minun (Chapter 23), verses 45-50:

Translation: "Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them a story. So away with a people who do not believe. Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people. So when the truth came to them from Us, they said, 'Indeed, this is obvious magic.' Moses said, 'Do you say [thus] about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? But magicians will not succeed.'"

Explanation: These verses describe the pattern of disbelief and rejection of prophets and their messages by past nations. Despite clear signs and evidences presented by these messengers, the people refused to believe and persisted in their wrongdoing. The story of Prophet Musa (Moses) and his confrontation with Pharaoh and his people is also mentioned as an example of this pattern.

Surah Al-Muminun (Chapter 23), verse 95:

Translation: "And never did the people of the city become believers until the family of Lot came [to them]."

Explanation: This verse refers to the people of the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, who were mentioned earlier in the chapter as having rejected the message of Prophet Lut. The verse suggests that their hearts were softened and they became more receptive to the message of the Prophet when his own family members began to believe.

Surah Al-Furqan (Chapter 25), verses 35-36:

Translation: "And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an. Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring."

Explanation: These verses address the Prophet Muhammad and highlight the importance and greatness of the Quran, which has been revealed to him. The verses caution him against being enamored by the wealth and worldly pleasures that some disbelievers may possess, as such things are merely temporary and a means of testing people. The ultimate provision and reward from Allah is better and everlasting.

Surah Ash-Shu'ara (Chapter 26), verses 10-68:

And remember when your Lord called Moses, saying, "Go to the wrongdoing people,

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear?"

He said, "My Lord, I am afraid they will reject me,

And I stutter, so send for Aaron.

And they have a charge against me, so I fear that they will kill me."

...

And when they had provoked Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all.

These verses recount the story of Prophet Moses (Musa) and his mission to call the Pharaoh and his people to the worship of Allah. Moses expresses his fears and concerns to Allah, but Allah reassures him and commands him to go to the Pharaoh with his brother Aaron. The Pharaoh and his people reject Moses' message, and Allah ultimately punishes them by drowning them in the sea.

Surah An-Naml (Chapter 27), verses 7-14:

Lo! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One Who taught by the pen,

Taught man that which he knew not.

Nay, but verily man is rebellious

That he thinks himself independent!

Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.

Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth

A slave when he prayeth?

Hast thou seen if he (the slave) is on the right way,

...

These verses highlight Allah's great bounty and His role as the teacher who taught humankind through the pen. Despite Allah's guidance and favors, many people still rebel against Him and consider themselves self-sufficient. The verses also challenge those who try to prevent others from praying, emphasizing the importance of faith and worship.

Surah An-Naml (Chapter 27), verses 22-44:

And she said: "O my Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit [in Islam, together with Solomon] to Allah, the Lord of the worlds."

And indeed We sent to Thamud their brother Salih, [saying], "Worship Allah," and then he turned away [from their worship]. So they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward their Lord's command and said, "O Salih, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers."

So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors."

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?

...

These verses discuss the stories of various prophets, including Prophet Solomon (Sulayman), Prophet Salih, and Prophet Lot (Lut). Prophet Solomon's encounter with the Queen of Sheba (Bilqis) is mentioned, as is Prophet Salih's message to the people of Thamud and their subsequent punishment. The story of Prophet Lot and his people, who engaged in immoral behavior, is also recounted.

Surah An-Naml (Chapter 27), verses 59-60:

"Say, 'Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon His servants whom He has chosen.' Is Allah better, or what they associate with Him?' Or who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down for you water from the sky? With it We produce gardens, full of beauty and delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees therein. Can there be another deity besides Allah? No, they are a people who swerve from justice."

In these verses, Allah asks a rhetorical question about the superiority of Allah over the idols worshipped by the disbelievers. Allah reminds them of His blessings upon them, such as sending down rain and producing gardens, and highlights the fact that no one can create or control such things except Him. The verses also emphasize that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah, and that those who associate partners with Him are unjust.

Surah An-Naml (Chapter 27), verses 61-65:

"Is not He who created the heavens and the earth capable of creating the likes of them?' Yes, [it is so], and He is the Knowing Creator. His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, 'Be,' and it is. So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned. And those who do not believe in the Hereafter – We have prepared for them a painful punishment."

In these verses, Allah asserts His capability to create whatever He wills, and that everything is subject to His command. Allah reminds us of His sovereignty over all things and our ultimate return to Him. The verses also warn those who disbelieve in the Hereafter of the punishment they will face in the afterlife.

Surah Al-Qasas (Chapter 28), verses 3-46:

We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for a people who believe.

Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.


And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors

And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Haman and their soldiers through them that which they had feared.

And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."

Then the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Haman and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.

And the wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not.

And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him, had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.

And she said to his sister, "Follow him"; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.

And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before, so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"

So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of the people do not know.

These verses tell the story of Moses and Pharaoh. It describes how Pharaoh oppressed the Children of Israel, killing their male children while keeping their females alive. Moses' mother was inspired to put her son in a basket and place it in the river, where Pharaoh's family found and raised him. Despite this, Allah's plan prevailed, and Moses grew up to become a messenger of Allah, leading the Children of Israel out of slavery and towards the Promised Land.

Surah Al-Qasas (Chapter 28), verses 4-6:

"[Remember] when Moses said to his family, ‘I have observed a fire. I will go to bring you news from it or I will bring you a burning torch so that you may warm yourselves.’ When he reached it, he was called out: ‘Blessed be whoever is near this fire and whoever is around it! Glory be to God, the Lord of all the worlds! O Moses! I am God, the Almighty, the All-Wise.’"

In these verses, Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) informs his family of the fire he saw and his intentions to investigate it. When he reached it, God spoke to him from the burning bush and identified Himself as the Lord of all the worlds.

Surah Al-Qasas (Chapter 28), verses 7-13:

"[Remember] when We revealed to your mother [O Moses] what We revealed, saying, ‘Put him [the baby] into the chest, then cast it into the river, and let the river cast it onto the bank. There, an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his shall take him.’ And I bestowed upon you love from Me so that you may be brought up under My watchful eye. [Remember] when your sister went and said, ‘Shall I show you someone who will nurse him?’ Thus We returned you to your mother so that she might be comforted and not grieve. And you killed a man, then We saved you from trouble and tested you with various trials. Then you remained for years among the people of Midian. Then you came here [O Moses] at the appointed time, and I have chosen you for Myself. Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not neglect My remembrance."

In these verses, God reminds Prophet Moses of the events surrounding his infancy and how God had protected him from Pharaoh's plan to kill all newborn Hebrew boys. God then goes on to remind Moses of the various trials and tribulations he has faced, including the killing of an Egyptian man, and how God had saved him and tested him with these experiences. Finally, God appoints Moses and his brother as messengers to go to Pharaoh and perform miracles.

Surah Al-Qasas (Chapter 28), verses 15-30:

Translation: "And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy." He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals." And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator." And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders.""

Explanation: These verses recount the story of Moses and how he unintentionally killed one of his people in a fight. He immediately recognized his mistake and sought forgiveness from Allah. Later, when he tried to intervene in another fight, he was accused of being a tyrant.

Prophet and Messengers - in the Quran

In Islamic belief, a prophet (nabi in Arabic) is a person who has been chosen by Allah to receive divine revelation and to guide humanity towards righteousness and the worship of Allah. Prophets are believed to have been sent to various communities throughout history, in order to convey Allah's message and to provide guidance and instruction to their people.

A messenger (rasul in Arabic) is a prophet who has been given a specific message or book from Allah to convey to their people. Messengers are believed to have a higher level of responsibility than prophets, as they are tasked with conveying a specific message or revelation to their people. The messages that messengers receive are believed to be complete and final, and are meant to be followed and adhered to by all of humanity.

While all messengers are prophets, not all prophets are messengers. In Islamic tradition, there are five messengers who are regarded as the greatest and most significant: Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus), and Muhammad. These five messengers are believed to have received complete and final revelations from Allah, which are contained in the scriptures of their respective religions (the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran).

Overall, the distinction between prophets and messengers in Islam is based on the specific message and level of responsibility that Allah has given them. While both prophets and messengers are highly respected and revered in Islamic tradition, messengers hold a higher level of authority and responsibility due to their role as conveyors of a specific message or revelation from Allah.


Here is a list of all the prophets mentioned by name in the Quran, in the order in which they appear:

1. Adam

2. Idris (Enoch)

3. Nuh (Noah)

4. Hud

5. Salih

6. Ibrahim (Abraham)

7. Lut (Lot)

8. Ismail (Ishmael)

9. Ishaq (Isaac)

10. Ya'qub (Jacob)

11. Yusuf (Joseph)

12. Shuayb (Jethro)

13. Ayyub (Job)

14. Dhul-Kifl (possibly Ezekiel)

15. Musa (Moses)

16. Harun (Aaron)

17. Dawud (David)

18. Sulayman (Solomon)

19. Ilyas (Elijah)

20. Al-Yasa (Elisha)

21. Yunus (Jonah)

22. Zakariya (Zechariah)

23. Yahya (John the Baptist)

24. Isa (Jesus)

25. Muhammad

Note that while these are the prophets who are named specifically in the Quran, there are many other prophets in Islamic tradition who are not named in the Quran but are believed to have been sent by Allah to guide humanity towards righteousness.

The final prophet in Islamic tradition is Muhammad, who is believed to have received the final and complete revelation of Allah through the Quran. Muslims believe that Muhammad was sent to guide all of humanity towards the worship of Allah and to show them the way to live a righteous and just life. Muslims therefore look to Muhammad as the ultimate example of prophethood and strive to emulate his teachings and example in their own lives.


Prophet Nuh (Noah) - in the Quran

Prophet Nuh (Noah) is an important figure in Islam, who is considered to be one of the earliest prophets sent by Allah (God) to guide humanity. According to Islamic belief, Nuh (Noah) was born after Adam, the first human being, and preached to his people for over 950 years, calling them to worship Allah alone and abandon their sinful ways. Despite his efforts, only a few people believed in him, and the majority of his people rejected his message and continued to follow their own desires.

As a result, Allah revealed to Nuh (Noah) that a great flood was coming to destroy the disbelievers and instructed him to build an ark and take his family and the believers with him. Nuh (Noah) obeyed Allah's command and built the ark, and when the flood came, he and his followers were saved while the disbelievers were drowned. After the flood, Nuh (Noah) and his followers repopulated the earth and continued to spread the message of Allah.

Prophet Nuh (Noah) is mentioned in several chapters of the Quran, and his story is a reminder of the importance of believing in Allah and following His guidance, even when it goes against the norms of society.

Prophet Idris (Enoch) - in the Quran

In Islam, Prophet Idris (also known as Enoch) is believed to be a prophet sent by Allah to guide his people. He is mentioned in the Quran as a man of truth and a prophet who was raised to a high station.

Islamic tradition holds that Prophet Idris lived for over 900 years and was the first human being to be given the gift of writing. He is also believed to have been a skilled craftsman and to have built structures and devices that were ahead of their time.

Prophet Idris is highly respected in Islamic tradition and is regarded as one of the early prophets who helped to guide humanity towards righteousness and the worship of Allah. His story and teachings serve as an example for Muslims to follow in their own lives, emphasizing the importance of honesty, faith, and good deeds.


In the Quran, Prophet Idris (also known as Enoch) is mentioned twice:

Chapter 19, Verse 56-57:

"And mention in the Book, Idris. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. And We raised him to a high station."

These verses refer to the prophet Idris (also known as Enoch), who is mentioned in the Quran as a man of truth and a prophet who was raised to a high station by Allah. The phrase "mention in the Book" is a reference to the Quran itself, which is believed by Muslims to be the divine revelation of Allah. The mention of Idris in the Quran indicates his importance as a prophet and his role in guiding humanity towards righteousness.

Chapter 21, Verse 85-86:

"And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot - and all [of them] We preferred over the worlds. And [some] among their fathers and their descendants and their brothers - and We chose them and We guided them to a straight path."

These verses mention several prophets who were chosen by Allah and guided to a straight path. Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot are named specifically, but the verse also alludes to other prophets and their families who were chosen and guided by Allah. The phrase "preferred over the worlds" suggests that these prophets were highly respected and revered by Allah, and held in high regard among all of humanity.

Overall, these verses from the Quran emphasize the importance of prophets in Islamic tradition, and the role they play in guiding humanity towards righteousness and the worship of Allah. They also demonstrate the high esteem in which prophets are held in Islamic belief, and the value that is placed on their teachings and guidance.

Note that in the second verse, Prophet Idris is not specifically mentioned by name, but is believed by some scholars to be one of the prophets referenced in the list.


Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) - in the Quran

In Islam, Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is one of the most revered prophets and messengers of Allah (God). He is mentioned frequently in the Quran and is recognized as the father of the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Muslims believe that Ibrahim was a righteous and obedient servant of Allah who was blessed with prophethood and guided his people to the worship of Allah alone.

The story of Ibrahim in the Quran emphasizes the importance of monotheism and the rejection of idol worship. It also highlights the importance of faith, patience, and perseverance in the face of adversity. The story of Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail also serves as a reminder of the importance of submission to Allah's will and the ultimate reward of paradise for those who obey and worship Him sincerely.

Muslims also believe that Ibrahim played a significant role in the construction of the Kaaba, the sacred house of worship in Mecca that is considered the holiest site in Islam.
