[Also, in the past the present and the future, whenever I quote the word "godly" from NLT it was literally translated from the Hebrew word "Sadiq" which means "the righteous" and connotes similarity to the Arabic word "Sidiq" which means "the trustworthy; friend; truthful"...therefore whenever (past, present, and future) that I quote this term I am intending "People of God". NLT has decided that they wanted to translate the Hebrew that way and it is their perogative. Reason being that for the word "godly" the Greek suffix "ly" means "like" and there is none like God.]
People of Faith; the Poor; Minorities; People of Color; and really all People should have tremendous interest in the research of God's Verses against the Zalimun. Certainly all people should have this concern, but, particularly People of Fatih; the Poor; Minorities; and People of Color should have interest and concern for these verses because of the Spirit of Justice that is in them. But, Faith and Belief in God and His Holy Books are prerequisites for that Spirit of Justice. As Allah (swt) has said, "Basira Falinafsihi" that, "What the person sees is for the benefit of their soul."
This is long. But, not as long as my actual research on this. I left out a couple of Chapters. To Allah (swt) belongs the Honor, the Praise, the Glory. Forever and ever. Ameen.
Chapter
1 – A Collection of Verses Against the Zalimun in the Holy Quran
““For
me, I intend to let thee draw on thyself my sin as well as thine,1
for thou wilt be among the companions of the fire, and that is the
reward of those who do wrong. (Zalimun)””
~
Surantul Maidah Ayat 29 – Verse against Cain for slaying
his brother Abel
“21
“You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not
murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ 22 But
I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to
judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being
brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger
of the fires of hell. 23 “So if you are presenting a sacrifice at
the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has
something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go
and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice
to God. 25 “When you are on the way to court with your adversary,
settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you
over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will
be thrown into prison. 26 And if that happens, you surely won’t be
free again until you have paid the last penny.”
~
Matthew 5:21-26 – Verses establishing cursing a brother or
sister in faith unjustly equivalent to murder
“Never
should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by
mistake,1 (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is
ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation
to the deceased?s family, unless they remit it freely. If the
deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer,
the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a
people with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation
should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For
those who find this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for
two months running: by way of repentance to God. for God hath all
knowledge and all wisdom.”
~
Surahtul Nisa Ayat 92
“They
followed what the evil ones1 gave out (falsely) against the power of
Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but the evil ones,
teaching men Magic, and such things as came down at Babylon to the
angels Harut and Marut2. But neither of these taught anyone (Such
things) without saying: “We are only for trial; so do not
blaspheme.” They learned from them3 the means to sow discord
between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by
God’s permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what
profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no
share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for
which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!
If
they had kept their Faith and guarded themselves from evil, far
better had been the reward from their Lord, if they but knew!”
~
Surahtul Baqarah Ayats 102-103 [Cost
of Suhr. Zalama mathala Suhr from a development in the Proverbs.]
And
remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands1,
which he fulfilled: He said: “I will make thee an Imām2 to the
Nations.” He pleaded: “And also (Imāms) from my offspring!” He
answered: “But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers.
(Zalimun)”
~
Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 124 [Zalimun
have no leadership nor command.]
“Hast
thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham1 About
his Lord, because God had granted him power? Abraham said: “My Lord
is He Who Giveth life and death.” He said: “I give life and
death”. Said Abraham: “But it is God that causeth the sun to rise
from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West.” Thus
was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth God
Give guidance to a people unjust. (Zalimun)”
~
Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 258 [Zalimun have no guidance.]
“And
whatever ye spend in charity or devotion, be sure God knows it all.
But the wrong-doers (Zalimun) have no helpers.”
~
Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 270 [Zalimun have no helpers.]
“As
to those who believe and work righteousness, God will pay them (in
full) their reward; but God loveth not those who do wrong. (Zalimun)”
~
Surahtul Ali Imran Ayat 57 [Zalimun have no Love from Allah.]
“Those
who reject Faith and do wrong (Zalimun),- God will not forgive them
nor guide them to any way-
Except
the way of Hell, to dwell therein for ever. And this to God is easy.”
~
Surahtul Nisa Ayat 168-169 [Zalimun have no Forgiveness nor
Guidance to any way except Eternal Hell.]
“He
will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers (Zalimun),-
for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty.”
~
Surahtul Insan Ayat 31 [Zalimun have no Mercy and thus no
Paradise, but only grievous Penalty and thus Hellfire.]
“Who
doth more wrong than he who inventeth a lie against God or rejecteth
His signs? But verily the wrong-doers (Zalimun) never shall prosper.”
~
Surahtul Anam Ayat 21 [Zalimun have no Prosperity (Falaha).]
“Send
not away those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking
His face.1 In naught art thou accountable for them, and in naught are
they accountable for thee, that thou shouldst turn them away, and
thus be (one) of the unjust. (Zalimun)”
~
Surahtul Anam Ayat 52 [Zalimun turn away those seeking the Face
of Allah.]
“It
is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong
(biZulmin)- that are (truly) in security, for they are on (right)
guidance.”
~
Surahtul Anam Ayat 82 [Zalimun have no security.]
“For
them there is Hell, as a couch (below) and folds and folds of
covering above: such is Our requital of those who do wrong.
(Zalimun)”
~
Surahtul Araf Ayat 41 [Zalimun have Hell as a couch and folds and
folds of covering above.]
“The
Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire:
“We have indeed found the promises of our Lord to us true: Have you
also found Your Lord?s promises true?” They shall say, “Yes”;
but1 a crier shall proclaim between them: “The curse of God is on
the wrong-doers (Zalimun);-”
~
Surahtul Araf Ayat 44 [Zalimun have the Curse of Allah upon
them.]
“Is
that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqūm?
For
We have truly made it (as) a trial1 for the wrong-doers (Zalimun).”
~
Surahtul Saffat Ayats 62-63 [The Tree of Zaqqum is a Trial for
the Zalimun.]
“We
blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right,
and (some) that obviously do wrong (Zalimu), to their own souls.”
~
Surahtul Saffat Ayat 113 [Zalimun do wrong to their own souls.]
