Mash a Allah I can see that u had excellent helpers here. May Allah Support me to make the right contribution.
“I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.” (Quran 51:29)
“Say: come, I will rehearse what God hath (really) prohibited you from: join not anything as equal with him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want; we provide sustenance for you and for them; come not nigh to shameful deeds, whether open or secret; take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth he command you, that ye may learn wisdom.” (Quran 6:151)
“Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; since and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to God, for which he hath given no authority; and saying things about God of which ye have no knowledge.” (Quran 7: 33)
“And ordain for us that which is good, in this life and in the hereafter: for we have turned unto thee. he said: with my punishment I visit whom I will; but my mercy extendeth to all things. that (mercy) I shall ordain for those who do right, and practise regular charity, and those who believe in our signs; * Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures), in the law and the Gospel; for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); he releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. so it is those who believe in him, honor him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him, it is they who will prosper.” (Quran 7: 157).
“Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily, to him will we give a new Life, a life that is good and pure, and we will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.” (Quran 16: 97)
“A. L. M. * This is the book; In it is guidance sure, without doubt To those Who Fear God;* Who believe in the Unseen, Are steadfast in prayer And spend out of What We Have provided for them;* And who believe in the Revelation Sent to thee, And sent before thy time, And (in their hearts) Have the assurance of the Hereafter.* They are on (true) guidance, From their Lord, and it is These who will prosper.” (Quran 2: 1-5)
I suggest very much that u start with reading Fatiah (Chapter one). It explains everthing. I also suggest that u divide Chapter two (Baqarah) into for example 10 pages every day. It is a long chapter yet explains a lot.
Chapter 112 introduced exactly who Allah Is.
In addition to the ayahs I selected to you.
