The Qur'an

and that the verse “and they have set up a kinship between Him and the jinn” is a pointer to the saying of Quraysh that the angels are the daughters of God.

since I have read the Qurʼān, no — and what an excellent exchange for the jinn is the Book of God

And some of the men of commentary said, concerning His saying, exalted be He, "and that men of mankind used to seek refuge with men of the jinn, so they increased them in oppression", that a company of the Arabs, when they travelled in a trackless part of the earth and came into the midst of the country of al-Ḥawsh, would fear the mischief of the jinn and the siʻlāh-demons and the ghouls and the satans;

Further, God, exalted be He, praised those who infer matters from the speech of God and set them next after His Messenger, where He said of them, "Those among them who elicit it would have known it.

this too is a sound road, because it is inferred from the Book of God and drawn out from the speech of the Messenger of God.

and to plunge into what no Qur'an has conveyed and no demonstration has established is excess upon the earth and corruption.

[5] (1) The sciences of the readings are among the noblest of the sciences, for their attachment to the Wise Qur'an, by which the Muslims are made happy when they hold fast to its guidance in the affairs of both worlds, and by which they meet humiliation and misery if they cast it behind their backs.

in them there is a finicking over-nicety (*tanaṭṭuʻ*) and a surplus of refinement, which leads to this — that the reciter who articulates precisely remains with his whole ambition turned toward the observance of the letters and toward the finicking over their articulation, so that this occupies him away from pondering the meanings of the Book of God Most High, and turns him aside from humility (*k …

This he took from the outward sense of the word of God Most High — “Those who believed, then disbelieved, then believed, then disbelieved, then increased in unbelief:

do not squander your portion in it, and do not forget your share of it, and do good as God has done good to you.

for God charges no soul beyond its compass.

“It is among the portents of the Hour when you see people who have put prayer to death and squandered the trust, made usury lawful, made light of blood and sold religion for the world;

for the verse in its outward sense indicates the encompassing of the unbelievers by Hell in the present time, and there is no need to turn it away from its outward sense, on the basis of the verification that went before;

(His words, ‘and His saying, exalted be He, «truly those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully devour only fire into their bellies»’, and the saying of the Opener and the Seal, upon him and upon his household be the most excellent blessing and greeting, «those who drink from vessels of gold and silver — it is only the fire of Hell that gurgles into their bellies», and his saying, upon him be …

Therefore «everything is perishing save His face», and the Necessary is one;

What a pity, then, for a nation that supposed happiness to be the hoarding of wealth and the cramming of bodily frames with the varieties of foods and drinks, that raced one another in the acquiring of sleek horses and towering palaces and took pride in servants and retinue and lineage, and left their souls to what they crave, and neglected their spirit and the law of their Lord, all the while rec …

For He said, exalted be He who speaks:

Yes — and even if it be so, still your striving and your earnestness in the imitation give you a degree higher than the one you now hold, quite apart from your being commanded to take him as a model: “You have indeed in the Messenger of God a goodly example.” And if you strive and die while still exerting yourself, that is better than that you should die slack, wishing wishes upon God, seated on t …

(1) “Our command to a thing, when We will it, is only that We say to it, ‘Be,’ and it is” — “His command, when He wills a thing, is only that He say to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.

The Real (*al-Ḥaqq*) is munificent (*jawād*) — that is, He gives each thing what is fitting for it inasmuch as it is fitting;

“not the weight of a mote escapes Him.

and the door of allegorical interpretation (*taʼwīl*) of the glorious Book of God was thrown open at the beginning of the scholarly movement, each buttressing his own view by it — and the Book of God is innocent of any accord with false views and corrupt principles.

And Ibn Rushd buttressed the eternity of matter in respect of species, and its origination in respect of form, with verses from the glorious Book, and sought thereby to deny real origination, that is, the emergence of a thing out of sheer nothingness — as in His words, exalted be He:

[14] (4) The Qur'an's disagreement with this view is not established, after what has come in it:

Nor has anything of that come in the Qurʼān, nor has it been seen inscribed upon the remains in any kingdom of the kingdoms of the East, ancient or modern;

so falsehood perishes — « falsehood is ever bound to perish ».

Only, most people do not understand:
