God is one, eternal and incomparable, at once Merciful and Just. Worship and the seeking of guidance belong to God alone, and faith is freely turned to.

A certain Day of Reckoning weighs every deed. True religion shows itself as care for the orphan, the poor and the captive — and honesty in dealings.

One continuous message sent through a chain of prophets. The faithful meet rejection with patience and forgiveness; history is a theatre of mercy and warning.

There is no compulsion in religion. Righteousness is faith made active in charity, prayer and patience, and God lays no burden beyond a soul's capacity.

Justice is unconditional, owed even against oneself and one's kin. All people share one origin, and honour is by God-consciousness, not lineage.

Gratitude for countless bounties, and patient endurance in the assurance that ease follows hardship. Remembrance steadies the heart.

The Opening, the Throne Verse, and the Quran's own definition of true piety: faith made active in charity and patience, not ritual form alone.

God as Light and as the ordering of an intelligible cosmos; every deed and every trace written down; mercy the first and recurring word.

The short closing suras: absolute oneness, a Day that weighs every atom's weight, and religion shown by care for the orphan and the poor.

A widening circle of duty from worship to the stranger and the captive; economic integrity; speech and gaze as moral acts; humility as the becoming posture.
