The document discusses several key teachings of Islam based on verses from the Quran, including: 1) Islam teaches that there is one true religion revealed by God to all prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. 2) The Quran teaches that people will be rewarded or punished based on their obedience to God and their good or bad deeds. Those who believe and do good will be admitted into Paradise while disbelievers and those who spread corruption will be punished. 3) Several verses discuss signs in nature like rain, fruits, night and day as evidence of God's power and as reminders for people to be grateful and obey God.

1. Transforming Earth into a Paradise according to the teachings of Islam
Quran Verse 2:136 urgesus to followwhatGodhasrevealedtothe Prophets
Say: "We believe in God and that which is revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham,
Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, and that which was given to Moses, Jesus, and
other Prophets from God. We do not discriminate any of them, and to God we have surrendered
ourselves
Verse 42:13 teachesthatthere is one religionrevealedbyGodto all Prophets
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have
revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the
religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with God is that to
which you invite them. God chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever
turns back [to Him]
7:96 confirmsthe ‘blessingsforobedience andthe cursesfordisobedience’ –the same teachingsof
otherprophets
And if the people of the towns had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened
for them, blessings from the sky and from the earth; but they rejected (the truth) and We
seized them on account of what they used to earn

then whoever fears Allah and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they
grieve
7:42 teaches that those who believe and do righteous deeds will be rewarded
an eternal life in paradise. The verse is also to all people, not to
Muslims only
But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity.
Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally
103:1-3 teach that mankind is in loss Except for those who have believed and done
righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience
30:41 teachesthatEvil and the cursesare the resultsof disobedience

earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that
perhaps they will return [to righteousness]
7:164 urgesus to guide the lostpersontothe truth and to bringhim back to God
And when asked: "Why do you preach to a people whom God is about to destroy or to punish with
a severe torment?" (The preachers) said: "In order to be free from guilt before God, and
perhaps they may fear God."

yourselves; and whatever you spend - verily, God has full knowledge thereof

heavenly blessings abundant, And will help you with wealth and children, and will provide Gardens

supreme triumph!
41:46 teachesthatpeople have the choice todo eithergooddeedsorbaddeedsandthat God does
not predetermine the punishmentorthe rewardsbefore the people are bornandbefore theyhave a

peril: God is never unjust to people

earth; or shall We treat the Pious as the wicked?

fruits. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought. And He has subjected for you the
night and day and the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed in
that are signs for a people who reason. And [He has subjected] whatever He multiplied for you
on the earth of varying colors. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who remember

ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that
you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful

nothing but an opinion, and they do but guess
38:24 teachesthatthe majorityisnotright(and the true obedientbelieversare notthe majority –
but those are the minority)
in fact many partners are unjust to one another; except those who believe and do good deeds,
and they are few indeed

they will not be able to utter a word
28:65-66 is alsoa scene fromthe hereaftertowarnthose whorejectthe Prophets

25:43-44 warns those whofollowtheirdesiresinsteadof followingGod’scommands

humiliation for having gloried on earth in your arrogance offending against all that is right, and

That is similartothe wisdomtaughtbyJesusinLuke 16:25
4:150-152 Warns those whorejectsome of the prophets
those who disbelieve in God and His messengers, and seek to make distinction between God and
His messengers, and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and seek to choose a way

humiliating punishment. As for those who believe in God and His messengers and do not

Merciful

They indeed found their fathers astray, and they are eagerly following their footsteps
The same isconfirmedin43:23-25
Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps
[rightly] guided."And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that

following."[Each Warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon
which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are
disbelievers." So we took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers

10. 16:35 warnsthose whosay that it isall decidedbyGodand we do not have decisionsaboutfaith
matters
And the idolaters say: "If God wanted, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped

people who do not believe
21:35 teachesthatwe will be testedbybadandgood thingsbefore we returntoGod

Do they think that, in giving them wealth and sons, We are eager for their welfare? By no
means! They do not understand the reality of the matter. Surely those who live cautiously for
fear of God, And those who believe in the signs and revelations of God and who do not worship
other than God, who do good deeds, and their hearts are full of fear by the very idea that they
shall have to return to God, These race to do good deeds, and they shall win them in the race

And they cry for help there, (saying): Our Lord! Release us; we will do right, not (the wrong)

therein? And the Warner came unto you. Now taste (the flavour of your deeds), for evil doers
have no helper
38:14 warnsthose whorejectthe Prophets
All rejected the apostles, so My Punishment came justly and inevitably (on them)

14. Then God will say to him: "My revelations did come to you; but you denied them, were arrogant
and you were among the disbelievers."

And God will save those who feared Him by their attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will
they grieve

they think that they are [rightly] guided
43:72 Teachesthat people are rewardedaccordingtotheirdeeds(Goddoesnotcreate people as

showed arrogance and chosen to be criminals"
