Ayaat

Recall the occasion when We said to the angels: “Prostrate yourselves before Adam.” They all prostrated except Iblees (Shaitan), who replied: “Should I prostrate to the one whom You have created from clay?” Then he asked: “Tell me, is this the one whom You have honored above me? If You give me respite till the Day of Resurrection, I will certainly uproot all but a few of his descendants.” Allah said: “Go away! Hell is your reward, and the reward of those who follow you, an ample reward it shall be. You may try to allure whomsoever you can with your seductive voice, muster against them all your cavalry and infantry, be their partner in their riches and their children, and promise them what you will – the promises of shaitan are nothing but deception – as for My servants, you shall have no authority over them. Your Rabb is sufficient as their Guardian.” Q17 V61-65

Only those people believe in Our revelations, who, when they are reminded of them, prostrate themselves in adoration and celebrate the praises of their Rabb and are not puffed up with pride [sajdah]. Who forsake their beds and invoke their Rabb with fear and hope; and they spend in charity out of the sustenance which We have given them. No one knows what delights of the eye have been kept hidden for them as a reward for their good deeds. Can he who is a believer be like the one who is a transgressor? Of course, they are not alike. As for those who believe and do good deeds, they shall be awarded the gardens of paradise as a reward of their labors. Q32 V15-19

We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other god but Him, are you not afraid of Him for committing shirk?” The chiefs of the unbelievers among his people said, “Nuh is but a human like you, he desires to assert his superiority over you. If Allah wanted to send Rasools, He could have sent down angels, we have never heard such a thing as he says from our forefathers.” Some of them said: “He is just a madman, so bear with him for a while.” Nuh said, “O my Rabb! Help me against their calling me a liar.” So We revealed Our will to him, saying: “Build an ark under our supervision according to Our instructions; and when Our judgement comes to pass and water wells out from ‘At-Tannur’, take aboard a pair (a male and a female) from every species and take your family, except those of them against whom the judgement has already been passed; and do not plead with Me in favor of the wrongdoers, for they are doomed to be drowned in the flood. Then when you have embarked on the ark with your companions, say: “Praise be to Allah Who has delivered us from the nation of wrongdoers,” and pray, “O my Rabb! Bless my landing from this Ark, for You are the best to make my landing safe.” There are many lessons in this story, and surely We do test people.
