The Companies - 39:29 Allah gives the example of a man who has disputing partners and a man who depends on a single person. Are these two ever equal? Praise is to Allah. But many do not know.

The Cattle/6:94 You have come to Us as one, just as We first created you. You have left behind what we made you imagine.

The Companies/39:3 "Indeed, to Allah alone belongs religion. Those who take those other than Him as awliya (friends) say: "We serve them so that they may bring us closer to Allah". Allah will decide between them in that in which they differ. Surely Allah guides not the liars and the ungrateful."

The Sandhills/46:27 And how many cities around you We destroyed, and We explained to them the Verses that they might return.

The Cow/2:165 There are those who take others besides Allah as gods and love them as they love Allah. But the believers love Allah most of all. If only those wrong-doers knew that when they see the torment, they will realize that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah´s torment is severe!
