Key Verses

  1. وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
    Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true).
    In context

    He took an oath by the pure soul that reproaches its owner for falling short in righteous deeds and for doing wrong deeds. He took an oath by these two things that He will certainly resurrect people for reckoning and recompense.

  2. فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا
    And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
    In context

    Then He made it understand - without teaching it - what was evil so it could be abstained from, and what was good so it could be implemented.
