out and new ones are evolved. New conditions of life and thought are constantly evolving new words and expressions,
new syntactical structures, and new modes of pronunciation. Even old races die, and new races are born. (30.22)
6:156 - Lest ye should say: "The Book was sent down to two peoples before us and for our part
we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by assiduous study." 981
981 Because the diligent studies of the earlier People of the Book were in languages foreign to the new People of Islam,
or because they were meant for circumstances different from those of the new world after Islam. (6.156)
7:157 - "Those who follow the apostle the unlettered prophet whom they find mentioned in their
own (Scriptures); in the law and the Gospel; for he commands them what is just and forbids
them what is evil: he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from
what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that
are upon them. So it is those who believe in him honor him help him and follow the light which
is sent down with him it is they who will prosper." 1127112811291130
1128 Aglal: plural of gullun, a yoke, an iron collar. In the formalism and exclusiveness of the Jews there were many
restrictions which were removed by Islam, a religion of freedom in the faith of Allah, of universality in the variety of
races, languages, manners and customs. (7.157)
1129 Light which is sent down with him: the words are "with him", not "to him", emphasizing the fact that the Light which he
brought illumines every one who has the privilege of joining his great and universal Fellowship. (7.157)
39:28 - (It is) a Qur'an in Arabic without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard
against Evil. 42854286
4285 Previous revelations had been in other languages. Now the revelation was given in Arabia in Arabic itself, the
language of the country which all could understand. And it is a beautiful language, straight and flexible, and fit to be
the vehicle of sublime truths. (39.28)
67:24 – Say: "It is He Who has multiplied you through the earth and to Him shall ye be gathered together."
5584
5584 Mankind, from one set of parents, has been multiplied and scattered through the earth. Men have not only multiplied
in numbers but they have developed different languages and characteristics, inner and outer. But they will all be
gathered together at the End of Things, when the mischief created by the wrong exercise of man's will be cancelled,
and the Truth of Allah will reign universally. (67.24)
4:148 - Allah loveth not that evil should be noised abroad in public speech except where injustice
hath been done; for Allah is He who heareth and knoweth all things. 654
654 We can make a public scandal of evil in many ways. (1) It may be idle sensation-mongering: it often leads to more evil
by imitation, as where criminal deeds are glorified in a cinema, or talked about shamelessly in a novel or drama. (2) It
may be malicious gossip of a foolish, personal kind: it does no good, but it hurts people's feelings. (3) It may be
malevolent slander or libel: it is intended deliberately to cause harm to people's reputation or injure them in other
ways, and is rightly punishable under all laws. (4) It may be a public rebuke or correction or remonstrance, without
malice. (1), (2) and (3) are absolutely forbidden. (4) may be by a person in authority; in which case the exception
applies, for all wrong or injustice must be corrected openly, to prevent its recurrence. Or (4) may be a person not
vested with authority, but acting either from motives of public spirit, or in order to help some one who has been
wronged; here again the exception will apply. But if the motive is different, the exception does not apply. (4) would
also include a public complaint by a person who has suffered a wrong; he has every right to seek public redress.

LAST DAY:
2:8 - Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" but they do not
(really) believe. 33
33 We now come to a third class of people, the hypocrites. They are untrue to themselves, and therefore their hearts are
diseased (ii. 10). The disease tends to spread, like all evil. They are curable but if they harden their hearts, they soon
pass into the category of those who deliberately reject light. (2.8)
2:62 - Those who believe (in the Qur'an) and those who follow the Jewish (Scriptures) and the
Christians and the Sabians and who believe in Allah and the last day and work righteousness
shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve. 7677
2:177 - It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces toward East or West; but it is righteousness
to believe in Allah and the Last Day and the Angels and the Book and the Messengers; to
spend of your substance out of love for Him for your kin for orphans for the needy for the
wayfarer for those who ask and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer and
