21:80 - It was We Who taught him the making of coats of mail for your benefit to guard you from
each others violence: will ye then be grateful? 27342735
2734 The making of coats of mails is attributed to David. It is defensive armour, and therefore its discovery and supply is
associated with deeds of righteousness in xxxiv. 10-11, in contrast with the deadly weapons which man invents for
offensive purposes. Indeed, all fighting, unless in defence of righteousness, is mere "violence." (21.80)
21:101 - Those for whom the Good (Record) from Us has gone before will be removed far
therefrom. 2756
2756 In contrast to the misery of those who rejected Truth and Right, will be the happiness of those who accepted it. The
good will not hear the least sound of the groans of evil. Their true soul's desires will be fulfilled-not temporarily as in
this world, but in a permanent form. (21.101)
23:117 - If anyone invokes besides Allah any other god he has no authority therefor; and his
reckoning will be only with his Lord! And verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through! 29512952
2952 See the same word used in describing the contrast with the Believers, in the first verse of this Sura. Righteousness
must win and all opposition to it must fail. Thus the circle of the argument is completed. (23.117)
24:35 - Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as if there were
a Niche and within it a lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: lit
from a blessed Tree an Olive neither of the East nor of the West whose Oil is well-nigh
luminous though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His
Light. Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.

24:38 That Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds and add even more for
them out of His Grace: for Allah doth provide for those whom He will without measure. 3009
24:39 - But the Unbelievers their deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts which the man parched
with thirst mistakes for water; until when he comes up to it he finds it to be nothing: but he
finds Allah (ever) with him and Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in taking
account. 301030113012
24:40 - Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean overwhelmed
with billow topped by billow topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness one above another: if
a man stretches out his hand he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light there
is no light! 301330143015
3014 A contrast to "Light upon Light" in xxiv. 35 above. (24.40)
24:51 - The answer of the Believers when summoned to Allah and His Apostle in order that He may
judge between them is no other than this: they say "We hear and we obey": it is such as these
that will attain felicity. 30273028
3027 Cf. ii. 285. Contrast with it the attitude of the Unbelievers or Hypocrites, who say aloud, "we hear", but intend in their
hearts to disobey (ii. 93). (24.51)
25:1 - Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion to His servant that it may be an admonition to all
creatures 305230533054
3053 That by which we can judge clearly between right and wrong. Here the reference is to the Qur-an, which has already
been symbolised by light. This symbol is continued here, and many contrasts are shown, in the midst of which we can
distinguish between the true and the false by Allah's Light, especially the contrast between righteousness and sin.
(25.1)
25:10 - Blessed is He Who if that were His will could give thee better (things) than those Gardens
beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee Palaces (secure to dwell in). 30642065
3064 Cf. above, xxv. 1. The reminiscent phrase shows that the first argument, about the Revelation and Prophethood, is
completed, and we now pass on to the contrast, the fate of the rejecters of both. (25.10)
25:34 - Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces they will be in an evil plight and as
to Path most astray. 30903091
3091 This verse may be compared and contrasted with xxv. 24 above. Here the argument is rounded off about the
distinction between the Good and Evil in their final Destiny. The Good are to have "the fairest of places for repose",
