The Abode of Those Who deny the Hour is Hell-Fire The Good Reward is for the People of Faith and Good Deeds Allah does not respond to the Requests for Evil like He does with the Requests for Good Man remembers Allah at Times of Adversity and forgets Him at Times of Prosperity

The Admonition held in the Destruction of the Previous Generations Obstinance of the Chiefs of the Quraysh The Evidence of the Truthfulness of the Qur'an Muhammad then argued with supporting evidence to the truthfulness of what he had brought them: Allah says that no one is more wrong, unjust and arrogant than he who invented a lie against Allah, forged claims about Allah, or claimed that Allah has sent a message to him but his claim was not true. What do the Idolators believe about Their Gods Shirk is New The Idolators requested a Miracle Man changes when He receives Mercy after Times of Distress The Parable of this Life Invitation to the Everlasting Gifts that do not vanish The Reward of the Good-Doers The Reward of the Wicked Criminals The gods of the Idolators will claim Innocence from them on the Day of Resurrection The Idolators recognize Allah's Tawhid in Lordship and the Evidence is established against Them through this Recognition.

The Story of Musa and Fira`wn Between Musa and the Magicians Only a Few Youth from Fir`awn's People believed in Musa Musa encouraged His People to put Their Trust in Allah They were commanded to pray inside Their Homes Musa supplicated against Fir`awn and His Chiefs The Children of Israel were saved and Fir`awn's People drowned The Establishment of the Children of Israel in the Land and Their Provision from the Good Things

Previous books Attest to the Truth of the Qur'an Belief at the Time of Punishment did not help except with the People of Yunus It is not Part of Allah's Decree to compel Belief The Command to reflect upon the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth The Command to worship Allah Alone and rely upon Him 11.
