7:56 - Do no mischief on the earth after it hath been set in order but call on Him with fear and
longing (in your hearts): for the mercy of Allah is (always) near to those who do good. 10341035
7:85 - To the Madyan people We sent Shu`aib one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people!
worship Allah; Ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (sign) from
your Lord! Give just measure and weight nor withhold from the people the things that are their
due; and do no mischief on the earth after it has been set in order: that will be best for you if
ye have faith. 10531054
7:86 - "And squat not on every road breathing threats hindering from the path of Allah those who
believe in Him and seeking in it something crooked; but remember how ye were little and He
gave you increase. And hold in your mind's eye what was the end of those who did mischief.

7:127 - Said the chiefs of Pharaoh's people: "wilt thou leave Moses and his people to spread
mischief in the land and to abandon thee and thy gods?" He said: "Their male children will

7:142 - We appointed for Moses thirty nights and completed (the period) with ten (more): thus was

way of those who do mischief." 11001101
9:107 - And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity to disunite the
believers and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His apostle aforetime.
They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; but Allah doth declare that they
are certainly liars. 13551356
1355 Three categories of Hypocrites having already been mentioned (n. 1354), a fourth class of insidious evil-doers is now
mentioned, whose type is illustrated in the story of the Qubaa "Mosque of mischief (dhirar)". Qubaa is a suburb of
Madinah about three miles to the south-east. When the Holy Prophet arrived at Madinah for Hijrat, he rested four days
in Qubaa before entering the town of Madinah. Here was built the first mosque, the "Mosque of Piety" to which he
frequently came during his subsequent stay in Madinah. Taking advantage of these sacred associations, some
Hypocrites of the Tribe of Bani Ganam built an opposition mosque in Qubaa, pretending to advance Islam. In reality
they were in league with a notorious enemy of Islam, one Abu 'Amir, who had fought against Islam at Uhud and who
was now, after the battle of Hunain (A.H. 9), in Syria: his confederates wanted a mosque for him to come to, but it
would only be a source of mischief and division, and the scheme was disapproved. (9.107)
1356 Abu 'Amir, surnamed the Rahib (Monk), as he had been in touch with Christian monks. See last note. (9.107)
11:85 - "And O my people! give just measure and weight nor withhold from the people the things
that are their due: commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief. 1584
11:116 - Why were there not among the generations before you persons possessed of balanced
good sense prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth except a few among them whom We
saved (from harm)? But the wrongdoers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life
which were given them and persisted in sin. 16191620
1619 Baqiyat: some virtue or faculty that stands assault and is lasting; balanced good sense that stands firm to virtue and is
not dazzled by the lusts and pleasures of this world, and is not deterred by fear from boldly condemning wrong if it
was fashionable or customary. It is leaders possessed of such character that can save a nation from disaster or
perdition. The scarcity of such leaders-and the rejection of the few who stood out- brought ruin among the nations
whose example has already been set out to us as a warning. In xi. 86 the word has a more literal meaning. (11.116)
1620 The exceptional men of firm virtue would have been destroyed by the wicked to whom they were an offence, had they
not been saved by the grace and mercy of Allah. Or perhaps, but for such grace, they might themselves have
succumbed to the evil around them, or been overwhelmed in the general calamity. (11.116)
16:88 - Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from the path of Allah for them will We add
Penalty to Penalty; for that they used to spread mischief.
26:183 - "And withhold not things justly due to men nor do evil in the land working mischief.
