VERSES THAT Never say about anything: "I am doing that tomorrow" without adding "if God wills." Remember your Lord when you forget, and say: "Hopefully my Lord will guide me to something closer to right guidance than this." (Qur'an, 18:23-24) New Testament Now listen, you who say: "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say: "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." (James 4:13-15) ... And when you enter houses, greet one another with a greeting from God, blessed and good.... (Qur'an, 24:61) New Testament As you enter the home, give it your greeting. (Matthew 10:12)
[Prophets are] those who conveyed God's Message and
fear Him, fearing no one except God. God suffices as a Reckoner.
(Qur'an, 33:39) New Testament But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." (1 Peter 3:14) Old Testament Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6) The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. (Deuteronomy 31:8) Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with Us than with him. (2 Chronicles 32:7)
O Children of Adam! We have sent down clothing to you to conceal your private parts, and fine apparel, but the garment of heedfulness-that is best! That is one of God's Signs, so that hopefully you will pay heed. (Qur'an, 7:26) New Testament [O Women!] Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. (1 Peter 3:3-4) Old Testament ... Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) ... Have done with the defilement of idols and have done with telling lies. (Qur'an, 22:30) New Testament Therefore each of you must put off falsehood... (Ephesians 4:25) Old Testament Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another... (Leviticus 19:11) Do not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious witness. Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd. (Exodus 23:1-2)
"Has the Reminder been sent down to him out of all
of us?" They are in doubt about My Reminder. They have yet to taste
My punishment. (Qur'an, 38:8) New Testament When the Sabbath came, he [Jesus] began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Is this not the carpenter? Is this not Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?" And they took offense at him. (Mark 6:2-3)
Those who do not believe say [to Mohammed]: "If only
a Sign could be sent down to him from his Lord!" You are only a
warner. Every people has a guide. (Qur'an, 13:7) New Testament "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe." (John 4:48) So they asked him: "What miraculous sign, then, will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?" (John 6:30)
Equally, no Messenger came to those before them without their saying: "A magician or a madman!" Did they bequeath this to each other? Indeed, they are an unbridled people. (Qur'an, 51:52-53) New Testament When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him [Jesus], for they said: "He is out of his mind." And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said: "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons." (Mark 3:21-22)
Your companion is not misguided or misled; nor does
he speak from whim. It is nothing but Revelation revealed, taught
him by One immensely strong. (Qur'an, 53:2-5) New Testament By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but Him Who sent me. (John 5:30) And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:19-21) Old Testament I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. (Deuteronomy 18:18) The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The abode of the Hereafter-that is truly Life, if they only knew. (Qur'an, 29:64) Old Testament We are aliens and strangers in your sight, as were all our forefathers. Our days on Earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding. (1 Chronicles 29:15)
Those who are blind in this world will be blind in
the Hereafter and even further off the Path. (Qur'an, 17:72-73) Old Testament I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord. (Zephaniah 1:17) And the Hour is coming without any doubt, and God
will raise up all those in the graves. (Qur'an, 22:7) New Testament And [they will] come out-those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. (John 5:29) Old Testament The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. (Obadiah 1:15)
You have come to Us all alone, just as We created you at first, leaving behind you everything We bestowed on you. We do not see your intercessors accompanying you, those you claimed were your partners with God. The link between you is cut. Those you made such claims for have forsaken you. (Qur'an, 6:94) New Testament So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14:12)
You will see every nation on its knees, every nation
summoned to its Book: "Today you will be repaid for what you did."
(Qur'an, 45:28) New Testament God will give to each person according to what he has done. To those who, by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. (Romans 2:6-8) Old Testament The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. (Obadiah 1:15)
As for those who do not believe, their wealth and children will not help them against God in any way. They are fuel for the Fire. (Qur'an, 3:10) Old Testament Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the Lord's wrath. (Zephaniah 1:18) If God were to punish people for their wrong actions,
not a single creature would be left upon Earth, but He defers them
till a predetermined time. When their specified time arrives, they
cannot delay it for a single hour nor can they bring it forward.
(Qur'an, 16:61) New Testament The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

groups of previous peoples. No Messenger came to them without their
mocking him. (Qur'an, 15:10-11) New Testament Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:10-12) Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues. On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. (Matthew 10:17-18) ... They called the Apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. The Apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name [of Jesus]. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ. (Acts 5:40-42) Old Testament "Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked will be no more." (Job 8:22)
As for those who migrate for God's sake after being
wronged, We shall give them good lodging in this world, and the
reward of the Hereafter is greater still, if they only knew. (Qur'an,
16:41) New Testament "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the Gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. (Mark 10:29-30) All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well... (2 Thessalonians 1:5-7) But most people, for all your eagerness, are not believers.
(Qur'an, 12:103) New Testament Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) Say: "Praise be to God and peace be upon His servants, whom He has chosen." Is God better, or what you associate with Him? (Qur'an, 27:59) New Testament But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:13) Old Testament ... Your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the Lord. (Deuteronomy 21:5) . Do not say: "You are not a believer" to someone who greets you as a Muslim, simply out of desire for the goods of this world. With God there is booty in abundance. That is the way you were before, but God has been kind to you... (Qur'an, 4:94) New Testament For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Old Testament When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in Latter Days you will return to the Lord your God and obey Him. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon or destroy you, or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which He confirmed to them by oath. (Deuteronomy 4:30-31)
[They are] not distracted by trade or commerce from the remembrance of God, the establishment of prayer, and the payment of alms; fearing a day when all hearts and eyes will be in turmoil.
