Exerpts from the Qur’an
"And remember Allah's favour unto you: how ye were
enemies and He made friendship between your hearts

"Fight against
believe not in
hath forbidden
until they pay
such of those who have been given the Scripture as
Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah
by His messenger, and follow not the religion of truth,

"And give glad tidings unto those who believe and do good works; that
theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow; as often as they are

given us aforetime; and it is given to them in resemblance. There for
them are pure companions; there for ever they abide" (II. 25.).

off" (VI. 44-45.).

"Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have a
(disabling) hurt, are not on an equality with those who strive in the

sedentary" (IV. 95.).
"If ye punish, then punish with the like of that
wherewith ye were afflicted. But if ye endure
patiently, verily it is better for the patient"
