3::130 - - O ye who believe! devour not usury doubled and multiplied; but fear Allah; that ye may
(really) prosper. 450451
3:183 - (The same are) those who say: Lo! Allah hath charged us that we believe not in any
messenger until he bring us an offering which fire (from heaven) shall devour. Say (unto them,
O Muhammad): Messengers came unto you before me with miracles, and with that (very
miracle) which ye describe. Why then did ye slay them? (Answer that) if ye are truthful!
4:2 - To orphans restore their property (when they reach their age) nor substitute (your) worthless
things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by mixing it up) with your own.
For this is indeed a great sin. 507
507 Justice to orphans is enjoined, and three things are particularly mentioned as temptations in the way of a guardian: (I)
He must not postpone restoring all his ward's property when the time comes; subject to iv. S below. (2) If there is a list
of property, it is not enough that that list should be technically followed: the property restored must be of equal value to
the property received: the same principle applies where there is no list. (3) If property is managed together, or where
perishable goods must necessarily be consumed, the strictest probity is necessary when the separation takes place,
and this is insisted on. See also ii. 220 and note. (4.2)
9:34 - O ye, who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the
wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (men) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold

painful doom.
12:13 - He said: Lo! in truth it saddens me that ye should take him with you, and I fear lest the wolf
devour him while ye are heedless of him.
12:14 - They said: If the wolf should devour him when we are (so strong) a band, then surely we
should have already perished.
12:43 - The king (of Egypt) said: "I do see (in a vision) seven fat kine whom seven lean ones
devour and seven green ears of corn and seven (others) withered. O ye chiefs! expound to
me my vision if it be that ye can interpret visions." 1700
12:46 - "O Joseph!" (he said) "O man of truth! expound to us (the dream) of seven fat kine whom
seven lean ones devour and of seven green ears of corn and (seven) others withered: that I
may return to the people and that they may understand." 1703
12:48 - Then after that will come seven hard years which will devour all that ye have prepared for
them, save a little of that which ye have stored.
DIE:
2:161 - Those who reject faith and die rejecting on them is Allah's curse and the curse of angels
and of all mankind.
3:102 - O ye who believe! fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam.

427 Fear is of many kinds: (1) the abject fear of the coward; (2) the fear of a child or an inexperienced person in the face
of an unknown danger; (3) the fear of a reasonable man who wishes to avoid harm to himself or to people whom he
wishes to protect; (4) the reverence which is akin to love, for it fears to do anything which is not pleasing to the object
of love. The first is unworthy of man; the second is necessary for one immature; the third is a manly precaution
against evil as long as it is unconquered; and the fourth is the seed-bed of righteousness. Those mature in faith
cultivate the fourth: at earlier stages, the third or the second may be necessary; they are fear, but not the fear of Allah.
The first is a feeling of which anyone should be ashamed. (3.102)
428 Our whole being should be permeated with Islam: it is not a mere veneer or outward show. (3.102)
3:145 - Nor can a soul die except by Allah's leave the term being fixed as by writing. If any do
desire a reward in this life We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the hereafter
We shall give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that (serve Us with) gratitude. 461
