QURAN PASSAGES AND NOTES

surah - a soft twilled silk fabric used in dressmaking.

Taghut - to rebel

2:10

In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.

2:11

And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers."

2:12

Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.

2:14

And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say,

"Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers."

2:19

Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers

in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allah is encompassing of the disbelievers.

2:23

And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad],

then produce a surah (silk fabric, book?) the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah , if you should be truthful.

//You can try to create a document like the Quhran such as the bible but if you do, you are a liar and you should fear

//the fire whose fuel is men and stones prepared for the disbelievers.

2:24

But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

2:26

..He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,

2:30

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority."

They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?"

Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

// The lord says he will leave a successive authority on earth. And the people ask, will the leader cause corruption and shed blood

// while at the same time we worship you? God replies "yes, because I know that which you do not know"

// So basically Muhammad is justifying being under a corrupt leader in the name of Allah. This might be why

// 'good' muslims keep quiet while their leaders push for shariah law.

4:6 //socialism

And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age.

Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly,

[anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should refrain

[from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable.

Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is Allah as Accountant.

4:15

//punish the women if they get raped

Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against them four [witnesses] from among you.

And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.

4:16

//Its ok if a male rapes a women as long as they repent because Allah is ever merciful.

And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if they repent and correct themselves,

leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.

4:17

The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness]

and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

4:23

//Dont fuck women in your family, but "But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you."

//apparently its not a sin to fuck any other woman (rape?)

4:24

//dont fuck other peoples wifes and dont fuck any women but your wife[s]

//but if you are married and are pursuing another woman for a 2nd marriage, as long as you

//give her gifts there is no blame on you

And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess.

[This is] the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these,

[provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity,

not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them

their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond

the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

4:29

//believers, do not kill yourselves

//those who do that in aggression and injustice will get driven into fire

//- this seems to contradict suicide bombers, but maybe they interpret it as

//they would only get punished by killing themselves while having aggression and being injust, but to the suicide bombers,

//they are just in their minds.

O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent.

And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.

And whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We will drive him into a Fire. And that, for Allah , is [always] easy.

4:34

//Men are in charge of women

//If your wife is disobeying you, first advise her. Then forsake her in bed, then strike her. If she listens, be kind to her

Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend

[for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's]

absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them;

[then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more],

seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

4:37

..and We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment

4:56

Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a Fire.

Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment.

Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.

4:59

//Obey god AND those in authority over you

// [=================]

//the authority that muhammed left behind?

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.

And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger,

if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.

4:62

//USA and EU bombing middle east and then saying "we intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation"

So how [will it be] when disaster strikes them because of what their hands have put forth and then

they come to you swearing by Allah , "We intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation."

4:63

Those are the ones of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts,

so turn away from them but admonish them and speak to them a far-reaching word.

4:66

And if We had decreed upon them [non believers], "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it,

except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for

them and a firmer position [for them in faith].

4:74

//Anyone who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory will receive a great reward

So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter.

And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory - We will bestow upon him a great reward.

4:76

//those who believe fight in the cause of Allah

Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah , and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut.

So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.

4:79

//evil comes from mankind itself.

//similar to Odysseus when Zeus says man creates much of his own suffering

What comes to you of good is from Allah , but what comes to you of evil, [O man], is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O Muhammad],

to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allah as Witness.

4:89

//Non believers want believers to stop believing so they can be like them.

//Dont ally with non believers unless they convert to islam

//If they turn away (from islam after converting?) then kill them. !!!CALL TO ACTION TO KILL NON BELIEVERS!!!

They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike.

So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah .

But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.

4:90

//Allah only gives cause for fighting someone when under attack

//Foreign interventionist policies killing muslims who then think Allah

//gives them cause to kill the non believers who do them harm.

//Our leaders say "we want acceptance and peace" yet continue to invade the middle east.

//According to this verse, if we stopped attacking entirely then the muslims would have no reason

//to continue fighting us.

Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you,

their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people.

And if Allah had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you.

So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you

a cause [for fighting] against them.

4:91

//!!!PERMISSION TO KILL NON BELIEVERS USING THE MUSLIMS FOR GAINING SECURITY FOR OR FROM THEIR PEOPLE!!!

You will find others who wish to obtain security from you and [to] obtain security from their people.

Every time they are returned to [the influence of] disbelief, they fall back into it.

So if they do not withdraw from you or offer you peace or restrain their hands,

then seize them and kill them wherever you overtake them. And those - We have made for you against them a clear authorization.

4:100

//encouraging people to emigrate for the cause of Allah because they will find abundance and go to heaven

And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many [alternative]

locations and abundance. And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and

then death overtakes him - his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah . And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.

4:101

//"Disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy"

And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer,

[especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] you. Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy.
