644 When the emigration took place from Makkah to Madinah, bonds and links of brotherhood were established between
the Emigrants and the Helpers, and they shared in each other's inheritance. Later, when the Community was solidly
established, and relations with those left behind in Makkah were resumed, the rights of blood-relations in Makkah, and
the Helper-brethren in Madinah were both safeguarded. This is the particular meaning. The more general meaning is
similar; respect your ties of blood, of neighbourhood, and of friendly compacts and understandings. Be just to all.

19:59 - But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts: soon
then will they face Destruction 2511
2511 This selfish godless posterity gains the upper hand at certain times, but even then there is always a minority who see
the error of their ways, repent and believe, and live righteous lives. They are not penalised in the Hereafter because
they were associated with the ungodly in time. They reap the full reward of their faith and righteousness. (19.59)
23:71 - If the Truth had been in accord with their desires truly the heavens and the earth and all
beings therein would have been in confusion and corruption! Nay We have sent them their
admonition but they turn away from their admonition. 2919
2919 Allah is All-Wise and All-Good, and His architecture of the universe is on a perfect Plan. If these poor, low, selfish,
ignorant creatures were to plan it according to their hearts' desires, it would be a dreadful world, full of confusion and
corruption. (23.71)
25:43 - Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be
a disposer of affairs for him? 3097
3097 The man who worships his own passions or impulses or desires is the most hopeless to teach or lead or guide. If it
were anything else the matter with him, the Prophet could argue with him. But Reason cannot prevail over blind
passion. It is vain to hope that such a man could be led, until his mad desires are killed. No one could undertake any
responsibility for him, for he obeys no law and follows no advice. He is worse than brute beasts, which may not
understand, but at least follow the wholesome instincts implanted in them by Allah. The lawless man has killed his
instincts and is unwilling to submit to guidance. (25.43)
28:48 - But (now) when the Truth has come to them from Ourselves they say "Why are not (Signs)
sent to him like those which were sent to Moses?" Do they not then reject (the Signs) which
were formerly sent to Moses? They say: "Two kinds of sorcery each assisting the other!" And
they say: "For us we reject all (such things)!" 33813382
3381 When a Revelation is sent to them, in the Qur-an, adapted to all their needs and the needs of the time they live in,
they hark back to antiquity. The holy Prophet was in many respects like Moses, but the times in which he lived were
different from the times of Moses, and his age did not suffer from the deceptions of sorcery, like that of Moses. The
remedies which his age and future ages required (for his Message was universal) were different. His miracle of the
Qur-an was different and most permanent than the Rod and the Radiant-White Hand of Moses. But supposing that the
Quraish had been humoured in their insincere demands, would they have believed? Did they believe in Moses ? They
were only put up by the Jews to make objections which they themselves did not believe in. (28.48)
3382 Moses was called a sorcerer by the Egyptians, and the wonderful words of the Qur-an were called sorcery by the
Quraish. As the Qur-an confirmed the Message of Moses, the Quraish objectors said that they were in collusion. The
Quraish did not believe in Allah's Revelation at all. (28.48)
29:52 - Say: "Enough is Allah for a Witness between me and you: He knows what is in the
heavens and on earth. And it is those who believe in vanities and reject Allah that will perish
(in the end)." 34833484
3483 The test of a Revelation is whether it comes from Allah or not. This is made clear by the life and teachings of the
Messenger who brings it. No fraud or falsehood can for a moment stand before Allah. All the most hidden things in
heaven and earth are open before Him. (29.52)
3484 If Truth is rejected, Truth does not suffer. It is the rejecters who suffer and perish in the end. (29.52)
30:29 - Nay the wrong-doers (merely) fellow their own lusts being devoid of knowledge. But who
will guide those whom Allah leaves astray? To them there will be no helpers. 3539
3539 The wrong-doers-those who deliberately reject Allah's guidance and break Allah's Law-have put themselves out of the
region of Allah's mercy. In this they have put themselves outside the pale of the knowledge of what is for their own
good. In such a case they must suffer the consequences of the personal responsibility which flows from the grant of a
limited free-will. Who can then guide them or help them? (30.29)
38:26 - O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in
truth (and justice): nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart) for they will mislead thee from the
Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah is a Penalty Grievous for that
they forget the Day of Account. 41774178
