10:17-27
Then who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about God, or denies His proofs? The lawbreakers are not successful.
And they serve, besides God, what neither harms them nor benefits them; and they say: “These are our intercessors with God.” Say thou: “Would you inform God of what He knows not in the heavens or in the earth?” Glory be to Him! And exalted is He above that to which they ascribe a partnership!
And mankind was only one community, then they differed; and were it not for a word that preceded from thy Lord, it would have been concluded between them concerning that wherein they differ.
(And they say: “Oh, that a proof were but sent down upon him from his Lord!” Say thou: “The Unseen belongs only to God; so wait — I am with you waiting.”
And when We let men taste mercy after affliction has touched them, then have they a scheme concerning Our proofs. Say thou: “God is swifter in scheme!” Our messengers write down what you scheme.
He it is that lets you travel in the earth and the sea; when you have boarded ships and sailed by them with a good breeze and exulted thereat–– A tempest wind came upon them, and the waves came on them from every side, and they thought they were encompassed therein; they called to God, sincere to Him in doctrine: “If Thou deliver us from this, we will be among the grateful!”
Then when He delivers them, they rebel in the earth without cause.) O mankind: your sectarian zealotry is but against yourselves, — the enjoyment of the life of this world — then to Us is your return and We will inform you of what you did.
**The likeness of the life of this world is but like water We send down from the sky, and the plants of the earth mingle with it, whereof men and cattle eat: when the earth has taken her decoration, and is made fair, and its people think they have power over it, Our command comes by night or by day, and We make it reaped as if it had not flourished the day before — thus do We set out and detail the proofs for people who reflect.**
And God calls to the Abode of Peace, and guides whom He wills to a straight path.
For those who do good is the best and more; and there will cover their faces neither dust nor disgrace. Those are the companions of the Garden; therein they abide eternally.
And for those who earn evil deeds is a reward for evil by the like thereof; and disgrace will cover them — they will not have against God any defender — as if their faces were covered with pieces of darkening night. Those are the companions of the Fire; therein they abide eternally.
24:7-16
And the fifth, that the curse of God be upon him if he is of the liars.
And it averts the punishment from her that she bear witness: four witnesses by God that he is of the liars,
And the fifth, that the wrath of God be upon her if he is of the truthful.
**And were it not for the bounty of God to you and His mercy, and that God is accepting of repentance and wise[… not one of you would have been pure ever.].**
They who came with the falsehood are a group among you. Think it not an evil for you: — nay, it is good for you. For every man among them is what he earned of the sin. And who took upon himself the greater part thereof among them, for him is a great punishment.
Oh, that when you heard it, the believing men and the believing women had but thought good of themselves and said: “This is a clear falsehood!”
Oh, that they had but come against it with four witnesses! Then when they bring not the witnesses, then those, in the sight of God, are the liars.
And were it not for the bounty of God to you and His mercy in the World and the Hereafter, a great punishment would have touched you for what you expounded upon
When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that whereof you had no knowledge, and thought it insignificant when it was in the sight of God monstrous.
Oh, that when you heard it you had but said: “It is not for us to speak of this. Glory be to Thee! This is a monstrous slander!”
