Golden Words of Allah
By Ajayi Sodiq
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficient, The Most Merciful
Allah, the Almighty says, concerning:
1. Killing children
“And you shall not ever kill your children for fear of indigence. We provide for them and for you. Indeed, [the act] of killing them is an enormous sin (Sûrat Al-Isrâ’, 17:31)
2. Kindness to parents
“Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and do good to parents. If any one of them or both of them reach old age, do not say to them: uff (a word or expression of anger or contempt) and do not scold them, and address them with respectful words” [Surah Al-Isra, verse17:23]
3. Punishment for Idol worship
“They repel others from this (Quran), as they themselves stay away from it, and thus, they only destroy themselves without perceiving.
If only you could see them when they face the hellfire! They would say then, “Woe to us. Oh, we wish we could go back, and never reject our Lord’s revelations, and join the believers.”[Surah Al-An’am 6:26-27]
4. Prophet Ibrahim
“Indeed Abraham was a whole community by himself, obedient to Allah, exclusively devoted to Him. And he was never one of those who associated others with Allah in His Divinity.
He rendered thanks to Allah for His bounties so that Allah chose him (for His favours) and directed him to the Right Way.
We bestowed good upon him in this world, and in the Hereafter he shall certainly be among the righteous.
Then We revealed to you: “Follow the way of Abraham with exclusive devotion to Allah. He was not one of those who associated others with Allah in His Divinity.” (Surah An-Nahl 16:120-123)
5. Homosexual and Transgender
“Lot said to his people, “You commit such an abomination; no one in the world has done it before! “You practice sex with the men, instead of the women. Indeed, you are a transgressing people.” [Surah Al-A’raf 7:80-81]
“Do you have sex with the males, of all the people? “You forsake the wives that your Lord has created for you! Indeed, you are transgressing people.” [Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:165-166]
