The Foundation

Part One

The Foundation aims to assist the reader navigate the Qur'ân verses, and give clear answers to the fundamental questions regarding Islam.

The Qur'ân is the holy book for Muslims, and is considered the direct word of God revealed to prophet Muhammad in Arabic more than 1400 years ago.

Muslims believe that the Qur'ân is the literal word of God and has remained unchanged until today. They also believe that the Qur'ân is the last revelation from God to humankind.

The next pages will quote verses from the Qur'ân. It is the foundation verses, and I will clarify why I refer to them as the foundation verses throughout the pages.

It will explain the following: (based on the meaning of the Arabic Qur'ân)

Concept of God in Islam

The total number of verses in the Qur'ân is 6236.

Introduction

الله أكبر

God (Allah) is the greatest

[Allah] "People, We have created you from a male and a female. We have made you nations and tribes to know one another. The most honorable of you with Allah is the most righteous of you. Allah is all-knowing and all-aware." [49:13]

[The Qur'ân] (Sûrah / Chapter) 49: (Ayât /Verse) 13

---

There is a clear guide in the Qur'ân for the people who worship Allah. I have sent you (Prophet Muhammad) only as a mercy for Al 'Alamin (the worlds). [21:106-107]

[The Qur'ân] (Sûrah / Chapter) 21: (Verses) 106-107

---

We have revealed the Qur'ân; and We will protect it. [15:9]

[The Qur'ân] (Sûrah / Chapter) 15: (Verse) 9

---

Whoever does good, it is for himself or herself — (self). Whoever does evil, it is against him or her — (the self). Then to your Lord you will return. [45:15]

[The Qur'ân] (Sûrah / Chapter) 45: (Verse) 15

---

He is the One who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons bad deeds. He knows what you do. [42:25]

[The Qur'ân] (Sûrah / Chapter) 42: (Verse) 25

---

[Guidance] O children of Adam! Do not let Satan seduce you like it seduced your parents. Satan led your parents out of the garden, and it (Satan) was the reason that your parents saw their bodies' private parts after they stripped of their clothes. [Caution] Satan and its tribe see you, and you do not see them, but We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe. [7:27]

[The Qur'ân] (Sûrah / Chapter) 7: (Verse) 27

The Criterion

الفرقان

The criterion is a pillar in the Qur'ân. It is the standard between truth and falsehood.

---

Glorified be He who has revealed The Criterion to His servant, to be a warning [Qur'ân] to the worlds. The kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. He has not chosen a son, nor has He chosen a partner in the kingdom. He has created everything and measured it with precision. [(chapter) 25: (verses) 1-2]

Disbelievers have taken gods besides Him; gods are created and cannot create anything; gods cannot benefit or harm themselves; and gods are not capable of causing death, giving life, or resurrecting. [25:3]

---

Disbelievers said, The Qur'ân is a false book; he invented it with help from others. It is a book of old myths, and he has written it down. It is words given to him in the morning and evening.

[Allah] It is a falsehood and unjust what they said. [25:4-5]

"The Qur'ân has been revealed by The One who knows the secrets of heaven and earth, and He is all-forgiving and compassionate," Prophet Muhammad has clarified. [25:6]

---

What, a messenger eats food and walks in the market, disbelievers said, he should have an angel beside him as a warner, possess a treasure, or own a garden to eat from. And wrongdoers jumped in and said, You are following a bewitched man. [25:7-8]

[Allah] They are judgmental. They have become misguided, and they have lost the right way. [25:9]

Blessed is He who gives you the best reward when He decides. He rewards gardens; beneath the gardens are flowing rivers, and He rewards palaces as well. [25:10]

[Allah] "They have denied the hour (the judgment day). We have prepared a blazing fire (extreme heat) for those who deny the hour.
