Essential Koran

The Call to Transformation [79:6-14] 
Upon the day when the first blast shivers and the second blast follows it, hearts upon that day shall be athrob and their eyes shall be humbled. They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? What, when we are bones old and wasted?' They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' But it shall be only a single scare, and behold, they are awakened.

Nourishment [80:24-32] 
Let Man consider his nourishment. We poured out the rains abundantly, then We split the earth in fissures and therein made the grains to grow and vines, and reeds, and olives, and palms, and dense-tree'd gardens, and fruits, and pastures, an enjoyment for you and your flocks.

Emissary of Light [81:22-29] 
Your companion is not possessed; he truly saw him on the clear horizon; he is not niggardly of the Unseen. And it is not the word of an accursed Satan; where then are you going? It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings, for whosoever of you would go straight; but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being.

Angelic Protectors [82:6-12] 
O Man! What deceived thee as to thy generous Lord who created thee and shaped thee and wrought thee in symmetry and composed thee after what form He would? No indeed; but you cry lies to the Doom; yet there are over you watchers noble, writers who know whatever you do.

Dishonesty [83:1-6] 
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Woe to the stinters who, when they measure against the people, take full measure but, when they measure for them or weigh for them, do skimp. Do those not think that they shall be raised up unto a mighty day, a day when mankind shall stand before the Lord of all Being?

Full Moon [84:16-19] 
No! I swear by the twilight and the night and what it envelops and the moon when it is at the full, you shall surely ride stage after stage.
