يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ بُرْهَانٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ نُورًا مُبِينًا
O mankind! verily there has come to you a convincing proof (the Messenger and the Qur’an) from your Lord: For We have sent unto you a light (that is) manifest (4:174).
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption) (15:9).
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ
But whosoever turns away from My Message, (the Qur’an), verily for him is a straitened toilsome life, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgement (20:124).
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
And We send down (stage by stage) of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss (17:82).
