Justice And Character In The Quran

Quran Passages

2:2 This is the Book, beyond any doubt, a guide for the righteous.

2:11 When they’re told, “Don’t sow corruption on earth,” they reply, “We are only reformers.”

2:21 O people, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, so that you may become righteous.

2:23 If you doubt what We revealed to Our servant, produce a chapter like it, and call upon your witnesses, other than Allah, if you are indeed truthful.

2:25 Give good news to those who believe and do righteous deeds, that they’ll have gardens through which rivers flow. Whenever they are given fruits from there as sustenance, they will say, “This is what we were given before,” they will be given things in resemblance. Therein, they will have purified spouses and dwell there forever.

2:27 Those who violate Allah’s covenant after its ratification, cut what Allah commanded to be joined, and spread corruption on earth—these are the losers.

2:30 When your Lord said to the angels, “I am placing a successor on earth,” they questioned, “Will You place in it one who will spread corruption and shed blood, while we glorify You with praises and sanctify You?” He answered, “I know what you don’t know.”

2:31 He taught Adam the names—all of them. Then He presented them to the angels, and said, “Tell me the names of these, if you are truthful.”

2:43 Establish prayer, give the purifying charity, and bow down with those who bow down.

2:44 Do you command people to righteousness, yet forget yourselves, even while you read the Scriptures? Don’t you understand?

2:45 And seek help through patience and prayer. But it’s difficult, except for the humble.

2:61 When you said, “O Moses, we can’t endure one kind of food. So pray to your Lord for us, to produce for us earthly crops like herbs, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions.” He replied, “Would you exchange something superior for something inferior? Go down to any city, and you’ll have what you requested.” They were stricken with humiliation and misery, and they incurred Allah’s wrath. This was because they rejected Allah’s signs, unjustly killed prophets, and because they disobeyed and transgressed.

2:62 Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Christians, and the Sabians—whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and acts righteously—will have their reward from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

2:63 We made a covenant with you, as We raised the Mount above you: “Hold firmly to what We’ve given you, and remember what’s in it, so that you may become righteous.”

2:80 And they say, “The Fire won’t touch us except for a few days.” Say, “Did you receive a promise from Allah—Allah never breaks His promise—or are you saying what you don’t know about Allah?”

2:82 However, those who believe and perform righteous deeds are the inhabitants of Paradise, where they will remain forever.

2:83 We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: “Worship none but Allah, honor your parents, relatives, orphans, and the needy. Speak kindly to people, observe the prayer, and give in charity.” Then you turned away, except for a few among you.

2:94 Say, “If the Final Home with Allah is exclusively yours, with no one else included, then wish for death, if you are truthful.”

2:103 If they had remained faithful and righteous, a reward from Allah would’ve been far better—if only they knew.

2:110 Establish prayer and give the purifying charity. Whatever good you put forward for yourselves, you’ll find it with Allah. Allah sees what you do.

2:111 They say, “Only Jews and Christians will enter Paradise.” These are their wishes. Say, “Present your proof, if you are truthful.”

2:114 And who are more unjust than those who prevent Allah’s name from being mentioned in His mosques and strive toward their ruin? Such individuals should enter them only in fear. For them, there is disgrace in this life, and they will have a severe punishment in the Hereafter.

2:130 And who would turn away from the faith of Abraham but someone who fools his own soul? We chose him in this world, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the righteous.

2:140 Do you assert that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say, “Are you more knowledgeable, or is Allah?” Who is more unjust than one who conceals a testimony he has from Allah? Allah is not unaware of what you do.
