Every mention

• 3:19 · Ali 'Imranٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ (is) IslamIndeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.
• 3:85 · Ali 'Imranٱلْإِسْلَـٰمِ [the] IslamAnd whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
• 5:3 · Al-Ma'idahٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ [the] IslamProhibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
• 6:125 · Al-An'amلِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۖ to IslamSo whoever Allah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islam; and whoever He wants to misguide - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allah place defilement upon those who do not believe.
• 9:74 · At-Tawbahإِسْلَـٰمِهِمْ their (pretense of) IslamThey swear by Allah that they did not say [anything against the Prophet] while they had said the word of disbelief and disbelieved after their [pretense of] Islam and planned that which they were not to attain. And they were not resentful except [for the fact] that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them of His bounty. So if they repent, it is better for them; but if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And there will not be for them on earth any protector or helper.
• 39:22 · Az-Zumarلِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ for IslamSo is one whose breast Allah has expanded to [accept] Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah. Those are in manifest error.
• 49:17 · Al-Hujuratإِسْلَـٰمَكُم ۖ your IslamThey consider it a favor to you that they have accepted Islam. Say, "Do not consider your Islam a favor to me. Rather, Allah has conferred favor upon you that He has guided you to the faith, if you should be truthful."
• 61:7 · As-Saffٱلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۚ IslamAnd who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah untruth while he is being invited to Islam. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
