Quran: Select your reading level

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind.

1. Everything in the heavens and the earth praises Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

2. Believers, why do you say things you don't do?

3. It greatly upsets Allah when you say things you don't actually do.

4. Allah truly loves those who fight for His cause, standing side by side, as if they were a strong, solid wall.

5. Remember when Moses said to his people, "My people, why do you hurt me, even though you know I'm Allah's messenger sent to you?" So when they turned away, Allah turned their hearts away. Allah doesn't guide those who disobey.

6. And remember when Jesus, son of Mary, said, "Children of Israel, I'm Allah's messenger sent to you, confirming the Torah that came before me, and bringing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name will be Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear proofs, they said, "This is clearly magic."

7. Who could be more unfair than someone who makes up lies about Allah, even while being invited to Islam? Allah doesn't guide those who do wrong.

8. They want to put out Allah's light with their words, but Allah will complete His light, even if the disbelievers hate it.

9. He is the One Who sent His messenger with guidance and the true religion, to make it stand above all other religions, even if those who worship others dislike it.

10. Believers, should I tell you about a trade that will save you from a painful punishment?

11. Believe in Allah and His messenger, and struggle for Allah's cause with your wealth and yourselves. That is best for you, if only you knew.

12. He will forgive your sins, and bring you into beautiful gardens with rivers flowing beneath them, and into lovely homes in Gardens of Eden. That is the greatest success.

13. And He will give you something else you'll love — help from Allah, and a victory that's near. So give good news to the believers.

14. Believers, be helpers of Allah, just as Jesus, son of Mary, said to his disciples, "Who will help me in Allah's cause?" The disciples answered, "We are Allah's helpers." Then some of the Children of Israel believed, while others disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemies, and they became the winners.
