112:1-4
Say
(O Muhammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not
begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone."
2:256
"Let there be no
compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects
Taghut (evil) and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trust worthy
hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things".
005:072-74
Certainly they
disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Marium; and
the Messiah said: O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and your
Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, then Allah has
forbidden to him the garden, and his abode is the fire; and there shall be
no helpers for the unjust.
Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of
the three; and there is no god but the one Allah, and if they desist not
from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them
who disbelieve.
Will they not then turn to Allah and ask His forgiveness? And Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.
006:104
Indeed there
have come to you clear proofs from your Lord; whoever will therefore see,
it is for his own soul and whoever will be blind, it shall be against
himself and I am not a keeper over you.
010:037
This Qur'an is
not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary it is a
confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller
explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the
worlds.
003:164
Certainly Allah conferred a benefit upon the believers when He raised
among them a Messenger (Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him)) from among themselves, reciting to them His communications and
purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the wisdom, although before
that they were surely in manifest error.
010:108-109
Say: "O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who
receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray,
do so to their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your
affairs."
And follow what is revealed to you and be patient till Allah should give
judgment, and He is the best of the judges.
039:053-55
Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own souls,
do not despair of the mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives the faults
altogether; surely He is the Forgiving the Merciful.
And return to your Lord time after time and submit to Him before there
comes to you the punishment, then you shall not be helped.
And follow the best that has been revealed to you from your Lord before
there comes to you the punishment all of a sudden while you do not even
perceive;
005:104-105
And when it is said to them, Come to what Allah has revealed and to the
Messenger, they say: That on which we found our fathers is sufficient for
us. What! even though their fathers knew nothing and did not follow the
right way.
O you who believe! take care of your souls; he who errs cannot hurt you
when you are on the right way; to Allah is your return, of all (of you),
so He will inform you of what you did.
004:136
O you who believe! believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book which
He has revealed to His Messenger and the Book which He revealed before;
and whoever disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His messengers and the
last day, he indeed strays off into a remote error.
002:136
Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and
(in) that which was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub
and the tribes, and (in) that which was given to Musa and Isa, and (in)
that which was given to the prophets from their Lord, we do not make any
distinction between any of them, and to Him do we submit.
002:256-257
There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly
distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and
believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which
shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Allah is the guardian of those who believe. He brings them out of the
darkness into the light; and (as to) those who disbelieve, their guardians
are Shaitans who take them out of the light into the darkness; they are
the inmates of the fire, in it they shall abide.
041:030
Lo! those who say: Our
Lord is Allah, and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them,
saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the paradise which
ye are promised. All
the above (translated) verses has been taken from the Holy Book of
Qur'an.

Torah in Quran
In Islam Moses/Musa is
venerated as one of the greatest prophets of God; however, Islam
also teaches that the texts of the Torah and the Bible have been
corrupted from their divine originals over the years, due to
carelessness or self-interest. Despite this purported corruption,
however, messages from the Torah and the Bible still coincide
closely with certain verses in the Quran.
This is by-and-large the case with the Ten Commandments.
Consequently, despite the Ten Commandments not being explicitly
mentioned in the Quran they are substantially similar to the
following verses in the Quran (using Jewish numbering of the
Commandments):
-
"There is no other god beside God."(47:19)
-
"My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me and my
children from worshiping idols." (14:35)
-
"Do not subject God's name to your casual swearing, that you may
appear righteous, pious, or to attain credibility among the
people." (2:224)
-
"O you who believe, when the Congregational Prayer (Salat Al-Jumu`ah)
is announced on Friday, you shall hasten to the commemoration of
GOD, and drop all business." (62:9)
[The
Sabbath was relinquished with the revelation of the Quran.
Muslims are told in the Quran that the Sabbath was only decreed
for the Jews. (16:124) God, however, ordered Muslims to make
every effort and drop all businesses to attend the
congregational (Friday) prayer. The Submitters may tend to their
business during the rest of the day.]
-
"....and your parents shall be honored. As long as one or both
of them live, you shall never say to them, "Uff" (the slightest
gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall
treat them amicably." (17:23)
-
"....anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder
or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the
people." (5:32)
-
"You shall not commit adultery; it is a gross sin, and an evil
behavior." (17:32)
-
"The thief, male or female, you shall mark their hands as a
punishment for their crime, and to serve as an example from God.
God is Almighty, Most Wise." (5:38 - 39)
-
"Do not withhold any testimony by concealing what you had
witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful at heart."
(2:283)
-
"And do not covet what we bestowed upon any other people. Such
are temporary ornaments of this life, whereby we put them to the
test. What your Lord provides for you is far better, and
everlasting." (20:131)
It
can also be noted that in the 17th chapter, "Al-Israa" ("The Night
Journey"), verses 22-37, the
Quran provides a set of moral stipulations which are "among the
(precepts of) wisdom, which thy Lord has revealed to thee" that can
be reasonably categorised as ten in number. It should be noted
however, that these verses are not regarded by Islamic scholars as
being somehow set apart from any other moral stipulations in the
Quran, nor are they regarded as a substitute or replacement or
abrogation of some other set of commandments as found in the Torah.
-
Worship only God:
Take not with Allah another object; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in
disgrace and destitution.. (17:22)
-
Be kind, honourable and humble to one's parents:
Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye
be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age
in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them,
but address them in terms of honour. (17:23) And, out of
kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord!
bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in
childhood." (17:24)
-
Be neither miserly or wasteful in one's expenditure:
And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those
in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in
the manner of a spendthrift. (17:26) Verily spendthrifts are
brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord
(himself) ungrateful. (17:27) And even if thou hast to turn away
from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost
expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness. (17:28) Make
not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to thy neck, nor stretch it
forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and
destitute. (17:29)
-
Do not engage in 'mercy killings' for fear of starvation:
Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide
sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of
them is a great sin. (17:31)
-
Do not commit adultery:
Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an
evil, opening the road (to other evils). (17:32)
-
Do not kill unjustly:
Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just
cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir
authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not
exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by
the Law). (17:33)
-
Care for orphaned children:
Come not nigh to the orphan's property except to improve it,
until he attains the age of full strength...(17:34)
-
Keep one's promises:
...fulfil (every) engagement [i.e. promise/covenant], for
(every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of
Reckoning). (17:34)
-
Be honest and fair in one's interactions:
Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that
is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous
in the final determination. (17:35)
-
Do not be arrogant in one's claims or beliefs:
And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every
act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will
be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning). (17:36) Nor walk on
the earth with insolence: for thou canst not rend the earth
asunder, nor reach the mountains in height. (17:37)
Now see the similarities of above versus to Exodus 20: 2-17 and
Deuteronomy 5: 6-21
Exodus 20:2-17
-
2I
am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of slavery;
-
3you
shall have no other gods before me
-
4You
shall not make for yourself an image, whether in the form of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
-
5You
shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your
God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of
parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who
reject me, 6but showing steadfast love to the
thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my
commandments.
-
7You
shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God,
for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
-
8Remember
the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. 9Six days you
shall labor and do all your work. 10But the seventh
day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any
work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave,
your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. 11For
in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day and consecrated it.
-
12Honor
your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in
the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
-
13You
shall not murder.
-
14You
shall not commit adultery.15You shall not steal.
-
16You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.17You
shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your
neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or
anything that belongs to your neighbor
Deuteronomy 5:6-21
-
6I
am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of slavery;
-
7you
shall have no other gods before me
-
8You
shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
-
9You
shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your
God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of
parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject
me, 10but showing steadfast love to the thousandth
generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
-
11You
shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God,
for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
-
12Observe
the Sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded
you. 13For six days you shall labour and do all your
work. 14But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord
your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your
daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your
donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your
towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as
you. 15Remember that you were a slave in the land of
Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a
mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God
commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
-
16Honor
your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you,
so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you
in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
-
17You
shall not murder.
-
18Neither
shall you commit adultery. 19Neither shall you steal.
-
20Neither
shall you bear false witness against your neighbour. 21Neither
shall you covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire
your neighbour’s house, or field, or male or female slave, or
ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
