* {{Hell}}: As with Heaven, there are 7 layers of them. There are also many names and {{Deadly Euphemism}}s, like the Fire (''An-Nar''), the Blaze (''Jahim''), the Crusher (''Al-Huthamah''), and the Abyss (''Hawiyah''). Hell is guarded by an angel called Malik, who will question its visitors whether they have heard the message from the Prophet and why they did not heed them. The tormented's only "nourishment" in Hell is the fruit of a tree called Zaqqum, which will [[BurnedAlive burn their body if they eat it]]. The Qur'an in general is rather obsessed in telling the unbelievers, infidels, and hypocrites about what fiery punishment will await them after death if they don't repent to God, almost to the point of a BrokenRecord.

* AGodAmI: If humans or djinni call themselves gods, then s/he's [[{{Pride}} a very bad person]]. Examples include the Fir'aun[[labelnote:*]]Pharaoh[[/labelnote]] of Egypt during Prophet Musa's[[labelnote:*]]Moses[[/labelnote]] era, it's explicitly for this sin that he was punished severely. And then Allah made sure [[{{Mummy}} his dead body remains to this day]], to serve as a warning and a proof of historicity.

In addition, the chapters are also stamped on whether they originate pre-Hijra[[note]]The time when Muhammad received his first verses from Allah, his early attempts at spreading Islam in Mecca, and his exile to Medina.[[/note]] and post-Hijra[[note]] Everything past the exile to Medina, up to Muhammad's death.[[/note]] The pre-Hijra chapters are generally short in verses and length, but they are more numerous in number, while the post-Hijra chapters are the exact opposite: long, winded, but small in number. Each type is denoted by these symbols: (MC) denotes the pre-Hijrah chapters, while (MD) denotes the post-Hijrah chapters.

* AnachronicOrder: Since the ''surat'' are organized by length, not when they were revealed (which took place over a couple of decades).

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Go there and back again, actually. Muhammad was called to an audience with Allah, received the order for ''salah'' (daily prayers, said five times a day), and then returned to the world so he could bring the order to the people. On his way he met prophets of ancient times such as Musa. Musa actually told Muhammad to renegotiate the order, because ''50 times a day'' would be too difficult.

* CelibateHero: Yusuf refused the seduction of his adoptive mother and when she accused him of false adulteries (twice), he correctly gave his adoptive father evidence that he did not do so. His adoptive father believed him, but he was jailed anyways, partly due to his low-status, partly to further protect his chastity. And that's not even ''mentioning'' the situation he got in with Al-Aziz's wife and the other women of the city (see FalseRapeAccusation below).

* ContinuityNod: So, so many, towards the Injil[[note]][[Literature/TheFourGospels The Gospels]]--the theory being either (1) that the ''Injil'' was a literal book sent to Jesus that was copied and mistranscribed by later Christians as the Gospels, or (2) taking elements of the Christian view, that Jesus ''himself'' was the Word/Book, whose words and deeds were copied and later mistranscribed as the Gospels.[[/note]] and Taurat[[note]][[Literature/TheBible The Torah]][[/note]]. In fact, it's stated in the Qur'an itself that one of its purposes is to give ContinuityNod to the aforementioned books, so as to give good news to the faithfuls.
* ContinuitySnarl: The Christian Trinity and the status of Jesus as divine are specifically denied. The Jewish concept of God's covenant with Israel and its status as "the Chosen People" is ignored in light of a more universal message to humanity, rather than to Israel.
* CoolHorse: The Buraq, winged horses who carried Muhammad from Mecca to UsefulNotes/{{Jerusalem}}, then to the highest heaven in a span of a single night. [[MeaningfulName Their name is Arabic for "lightning"]][[note]]No, it's not Barak/[[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Barack]]. That means "prosperity". Barak, however, does mean "lightning"...in Hebrew (which Buraq is a cognate of).[[/note]].

* DomesticAbuse: A man is allowed to beat his disobedient wife. (IV, 38)[[note]]This is however a contested translation. The verb used to beat is "daraba", to strike. In all other uses of the same verb, it is used in the sense to start (e.g. to strike out on a journey etc.) Hence some translations say that this means the man should walk away from the situation till the situation is more diffused.[[/note]] However, it is ''forbidden'' for men to act like thugs and deal a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on his wife whenever he doesn't like her way of thinking. Punishment must be given sparsely, like gently hitting her with a stick [[note]]or in some translations, a handkerchief[[/note]] three times for example, as Prophet Ayub[[note]]Job[[/note]] did to his wife when [[EtTuBrute she left him]]. Unfortunately, like the law about polygamy mentioned below, this rule is frequently abused (pun intended) by the people, [[AllAbusersAreMale mostly by men]].

** One DoubleStandard - the one about polygamy - actually has a reason behind it: it's believed that the original reason for allowing men to take additional wives was that in an age of constant tribal warfare, men were often killed and their widows left without a means of support. Polygamy was a way of addressing this gender imbalance in towns that had been ravaged by war.

** Contrary to popular beliefs, however, Muslim women do ''not'' have to wear hijab e.g. head and body coverings, at least in the Qur'an alone. All the Quran has to say about women in general are that they should dress modestly by not attracting unwanted attention[[note]]not because men are animals who cannot control themselves, but because the human body is God's greatest gift to the soul and hence should be given as a gift only to those worthy i.e. those who agree to marry you[[/note]], ''not'' the specifications for the coverings itself. The full coverings (everything sans face, hands and feet) are only compulsory during prayer times, where even the men will have to dress modestly if they want to, well ''pray'', to God. The only women who are required to wear those kind of coverings are Muhammad's wives- Khadija, Aisha, Zaynab[[note]]because enemies would try to harrass them[[/note]], etc. The culprit for the application of this rule to all women are the hadiths, which are really open to interpretation. This led to every cases from a law forcing women to cover every single inch of their body (Afghanistan's [[ChurchMilitant Taliban]]) to severe ''ban'' for them to do so (Tunisia and Turkey).

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Muhammad. Also Allah. Anyone who kills a sparrow or anything bigger unjustly will be held accountable.
** In some interpretation, anyone who kill ''anything'' unjustly, will be held accountable, period.
** Hell is not guarded by demons/Satan/other evil cronies. It is guarded by an angel. No, it isn't evil in any way. Getting a ticket to Hell means that you have done something very wrong in your life, and the angel is just for punishing you.
* TheGreatFlood: Nuh was given a warning that a flood would wipe his land, so he tried to tell his wicked people to come with him in his Ark, to no avail. [[EtTuBrute Even his wife and one of his sons abandoned him for it]]. Because the flood was not universal, however, Nuh's family (plus some outsiders who accepted his message) didn't need to procreate among themselves, thank you very much.
* {{Hell}}: There are 7 layers of them.
* HeelFaceTurn: Out-universe, the Qur'an seems to have a profound effect on people who read it. A dramatic example would be Umar. He was one of Muhammad's bitterest enemies ever and was set about to kill him when he heard his sister (she already converted earlier; in fact, one of the reasons for the attempted murder was because Muhammad's teachings swayed his sister.) reciting a chapter of Qur'an (specifically, Ta Ha). He [[WouldHitAGirl slapped her]], but [[SilkHidingSteel she remained firm, refused to give up her faith, and blocked access to the book unless he clean himself.]] So he cleaned himself to read it, [[TearsOfRemorse cried]], [[HeelRealization realized his mistakes]], and immediately converted, becoming one of Muhammad's fiercest supporters and a caliph eventually.

** In general, prophets are more virtuous than they are in the Bible. Dawud's[[note]]David[[/note]] adultery never mentioned nor is Nuh getting drunk. It explicitly states that Sulaiman[[note]]Solomon[[/note]] did not worship other gods and Harun[[note]]Aaron[[/note]] did not make the Golden Calf.

* HumansAreSpecial: The angels and the Jinns were ordered to bow down to us. One of the Jinn, Iblis, refused to bow down and was banished for this.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Or rather The First Is Not Like The Others. The very first chapter, Al-Fatiha (''The Opening'') is the only one where the bismillah phrase, e.g. ''Bismillahi rrahmani rrahim''[[note]]In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful[[/note]], is a part of the chapter, instead of being an "appetizer"; you ''have'' to read it to start the chapter, lest your reading becomes invalid. In all other chapters, except the ninth (see below), it is only merely recommended. On the flip side, the ninth chapter, At-Tawba (''The Repentance''), is the only one of the 114 ''not'' to have the bismillah as an opening. Also, because it is much longer than Al-Fatiha which means that readers often stop at a designated verse, once they pick it up again, they are forbidden to read the bismillah as is customary, but instead have to continue straight into the chapter.

* MultinationalTeam: The Muslims of Muhammad's time included people such as Salman al-Farisi [[MeaningfulName who came from Persia]], as well as Bilal, a liberated black slave. The only measure of a person in Allah's eyes is that person's faith, not nationality or ethnicity.

* OutOfFocus: [[Literature/AnimalFarm All messengers are messengers, but some are more messengers than others]]. Well, not really, but while the Twenty-Five Messengers are equal messengers of the people from God, some of them are given more details about their exploits at the expense of others. In particular, we know next to nothing about Dhulkifl[[note]]Ezekiel[[/note]], Ilyas[[note]]Elijah[[/note]], Ilyasa[[note]]Elisha[[/note]], except that their contributions are great and genuine.

* PrettyBoy: Yusuf. It took a degree of handsomeness/prettiness to make women distracted to you so much that they ''peeled their fingers instead of fruits that they held, without any pain felt whatsover''. It was a huge factor in making him a ChickMagnet, to the point of making him SoBeautifulItsACurse.

* RiddleForTheAges: The ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqattaat Muqattaat]]'' is a series of seemingly meaningless Arabic letters chained and placed at random points in the Qur'an. Four of them even made it as chapter titles (Ta Ha, Ya Sin, Sad, and Qaf). There are several combinations, but there is one thing that ties them together: mysteriousness. Since the Qur'an's inception, nobody could figure just what the letters are supposed to represent, let alone mean. Not even ''Prophet Muhammad'' himself. And no one will probably ever know, except for God.
* TheSacredDarkness: Nights and their associated things (moon, stars, darkness, etc.) are ''heavily'' praised in Qur'an as well as in Islam in general. There are just so much events that happened during the night that its importance cannot be denied, including but not limited to: providing Bani Isra'il[[note]]Children of Israel[[/note]] escape from the Pharaoh, providing Muhammad and his followers relieve during their exile to Medina, the Night of Power, etc. There are also at least four chapters with a night theme in the series. Then there's the fact that the Islamic calendar is lunar and measures each day from dusk to the next dusk; by this system, this means that the days for the believers to pray are concentrated at night, while daytime is allocated for work. Understandable, given that, being desert-dwellers, the nights are the only time when the Arabs and indeed the other Middle Eastern people (the Jews included, hence why their calendar is also lunar) can rest and look away from the harsh sun.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Khadija was a rich widow and businesswoman who, being 40 years old, didn't see remarriage as a feasible thing. But then, she employed a [[GoodShepherd Good Laborer]] famous for his fidelity and truthfulness by the name of Muhammad and...[[LoveAtFirstSight fell in love with him immediately]], their 15-year-old age difference notwithstanding.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: In Sunni and Shi'a accounts, Muhammad is said to have conversations with camels, birds, and other animals.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Maryam is mentioned a lot more in the Qur'an than her son, Isa is, even though the latter is recognized as the last prophet before Muhammad and indeed will play a great role during the Last Days. Maryam had ''two'' chapters dedicated to her ("The House of Imran", which is titled after her family pre-virgin birth, and the eponymous "Maryam"), Isa did not have even one.

* TakeThat:
** Even though The Qur'an has a lot of {{Continuity Nod}}s towards the Gospels and the Torah, no love is lost toward [[CorruptChurch those who exploited or -Allah forbid!- altered the texts just to gain political power]]. There are also a lot of {{Take That}}s toward the {{Hypocrite}}s amongst Muslims.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Subverted. Adam's wife was enticed to eat the forbidden fruit and convinced Adam to do the same, but she was not held solely responsible. Instead, ''both of them'' were. The human's "ills" (death, childbirth, sickness, etc.) are not punishments for the transgression, but because, well, life on earth is not the same as life in paradise. Oh, and no, we are not doomed with the sin of Adam and his wife, either, because: 1. God already forgave Adam and his wife, and 2. No one can be held accountable for others' sin.

* YankTheDogsChain: Almost. After years of no heir, Ibrahim was finally given a son through his second spouse: Ismail. But then, God ordered him to sacrifice the latter, and both resigned over God's command. Only for God, through an angel, to offer a cattle for sacrifice, because He was impressed by both individuals' faith to Him, turning this into a happy ending.[[note]]Yes, we all aware that Isaac (or rather, Ishaq) was the one sacrificed in the Bible. The Qur'an's wording is actually ambiguous as to which son was sacrificed. Most interpreted it as Ismail because the account of the sacrifice preceded Ishaq's birth, but the Qur'an's nature being anachronistic as it is, there is no way to be sure.[[/note]]

* CondescendingCompassion: The usual treatment reserved to non-Muslims. While the Qu'ran strongly advises tolerance and fairness towards non-Muslims, non-Muslims are still unsurpisingly considered untrustworthy, ignorant and delusional lost souls (much like Literature/TheBible sees non-Christians). Hence, the Qu'ran clearly discourages Muslims from forming strong bonds with them[[note]]although many of these exhortations were situational.[[/note]].

* PrettyBoy: Yusuf. It took a degree of handsomeness/prettiness to make women distracted to you so much that they ''peeled their fingers instead of fruits that they held, without any pain felt whatsover''. It was a huge factor in making him a ChickMagnet.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: The Qur'an is written in a version of Arabic that is archaic even in Muhammad's time. A SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} happened when one of his proponents bashed him for using words that were hard to understand, just to have ''another'' proponent appeared and bashed him incorporating those very same words.

* PrettyBoy: Yusuf. It took a degree of handsomeness/prettiness to make women distracted to you so much that they ''peeled their fingers instead of fruits that they held, without any pain felt whatsover''.

* CelibateHero: Yusuf refused the seduction of his adoptive mother and when she accused him of false adulteries (twice), he correctly gave his adoptive father evidence that he did not do so. His adoptive father believed him, but he was jailed anyways, partly due to his low-status, partly to further protect his chastity.

* FalseRapeAccusation: When Yusuf (= Joseph in the Bible; surah 12) is the slave of a rich Egyptian (only referred to as Al-´Aziz, "Mighty One"), the wife of his master tries to seduce him. Yusuf refuses her and tries to run away, and as the wife is trying to hold him back, she rends his shirt. Her husband comes by and she explains the situation as Yusuf assaulting her. However, 'Aziz does not believe her, because he notices that Yusuf's shirt is torn from the back, not from the front. As a result, 'Aziz' wife is mocked by the other women of the city for being in love with a slave. She retaliates by inviting the other women to their house so they can see Yusuf themselves, with the effect that all of them now want Yusuf. Yusuf again rejects them and is eventually thrown into prison on account of the scorned women (although the Quran does not say under what accusation he is imprisoned). More so than the Bible, the Quran is somewhat sympathetic to 'Aziz' wife because it makes clear that Yusuf is incomparably beautiful, and that Yusuf is also attracted to her in turn and rejects her only because adultery is a sin.

* AGodAmI: If humans or djinns call themselves gods, then s/he's [[{{Pride}} a very bad person]]. Examples include the Fir'aun[[labelnote:*]]Pharaoh[[/labelnote]] of Egypt during Prophet Musa's[[labelnote:*]]Moses[[/labelnote]] era, it's explicitly for this sin that he was punished severely. And then Allah made sure [[{{Mummy}} his dead body remains to this day]], to serve as a warning and a proof of historicity.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: {{Averted}}. Iblis/Satan was given a choice to obey or disobey Allah, and he chose to disobey, thus ensuring his fate. This doesn't apply to his race, the Jinn, who are as capable of being good or evil as the humans, and thus can enter Paradise if they do good. That being said, there are some texts which say that he weeps during the Hajj, as he regrets not taking advantage of God's forgiveness when he could, while mankind is able to do it all the time.

* AndIMustScream: The fate of people cast down to Hell(s). You burn for eternity, drink boiling hot water, and eat horrible fruit ('demon head'). Once your skin is burned up, Allah wills that another layer be grown so you can burn again. Verse 87:13 says succinctly: "Therein he does not die, neither does he live."

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: {{Averted}}. Satan was given a choice to obey or disobey Allah, and he chose to disobey, thus ensuring his fate. This doesn't apply to his race the djinns, who are as capable of being good or evil as the humans, and thus can enter Paradise if they do good. That being said, there are some texts which say that he weeps during the Hajj, as he regrets not taking advantage of God's forgiveness when he could, while mankind is able to do it all the time.

* MalignedMixedMarriage: The scripture forbids Muslim men from marrying idol worshippers. It should be noted that contrary to popular belief, [[https://submission.org/marriage_in_Quran.html nowhere in the scripture]] forbids Muslim women from marrying Jews or Christians like their male counterparts. In both Islam and Christianity, there are verses that explicitly state that there is virtually no racial or national border for marriage.

* CantRefuseTheCallAnymore: Yunus[[note]]Jonah[[/note]] was swallowed whole because [[WhatTheHellHero he did not want to preach God's message to his people again, thinking that they were beyond saving]]. After a TheReasonYouSuck speech courtesy of God and repentance, he was allowed out.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Morality is based on faith and thus Muslims are good and miscreants are evil.

%%* OlderThanPrint
* OmniscientMoralityLicense: God forgives who he wants to and punishes who he wants to though he forbade injustice for humans as for himself.

* CondescendingCompassion: The usual treatment reserved to non-Muslims.

** 2:228: "Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three (monthly) courses. And it is not lawful for them that they should conceal that which Allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would do better to take them back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. And they (women) have rights equal to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree [of responsibility] above them. Allah is Mighty, Wise. "
** Contrary to popular beliefs, however, Muslim women do ''not'' have to wear hijab e.g. head and body coverings. All the Quran has to say about women in general are that they should dress modestly by not attracting unwanted attention[[note]]not because men are animals who cannot control themselves, but because the human body is God's greatest gift to the soul and hence should be given as a gift only to those worthy i.e. those who agree to marry you[[/note]], ''not'' the specifications for the coverings itself. The "ninja" coverings (everything sans face, hands and feet) are only compulsory during prayer times, where even the men will have to dress modestly if they want to, well ''pray'', to God. The only women who are required to wear those kind of coverings are Muhammad's wives‒Khadija, Aisha, Zaynab[[note]]because enemies would try to harrass them[[/note]], etc. The culprit for the application of this rule to all women are the hadiths, which are really open to interpretation. This led to every cases from a law forcing women to cover every single inch of their body (Afghanistan's [[ChurchMilitant Taliban]]) to severe ''ban'' for them to do so (Tunisia and Turkey).

* ParentalAbandonment: Muhammad lost his father before he was born, then his mother when he was 6 years old.

* PapaWolf: Muhammad strongly loved his daughter, Fatimah.

** There is no denying the text - [[NotSoDifferent much like The Bible]] - contains examples of this, especially when the Hadiths that further explained these rules are not included into the equation.

** In one verse, two women are required to give testimony for trials concerning interest [[note]]of the monetary kind[[/note]], whereas one man is enough[[note]]This is commonly thought to be because men would intimidate women into perjury, whereas two women would provide support and protection for one another.[[/note]]. Nowhere else in the Quran does the gender of the witness matter.

** Men can marry any woman from any other Abrahamic religion (Jews or Christians), women are strictly forbidden to marry a man who isn't a Muslim. The reason usually posited by scholars is that a husband is always considered the ''imam''-leader, of his family, so having a non-Muslim as the leader of his family is not advisable.

!!Tropes include:

* AGodAmI: If humans or djinns do this, then s/he's [[{{Pride}} a very bad person]]. Examples include the Fir'aun[[labelnote:*]]Pharaoh[[/labelnote]] of Egypt during Prophet Musa's[[labelnote:*]]Moses[[/labelnote]] era, it's explicitly for this sin that he was punished severely. And then Allah made sure [[{{Mummy}} his dead body remains to this day]], to serve as a warning and a proof of historicity.

* LikesOlderWomen: Muhammad and Khadija married despite their 15-year-old age difference. Guess which one was older? Though ultimately subverted later on, since Muhammad's later spouses were younger than him in age, particularly Aisha.

* MadeASlave: Vanquished unbelievers are to be killed ([[MenAreTheExpendableGender men especially]]), converted or enslaved. While it's possible to become a ''dhimmi'' when you're Jewish or a Christian, any other denomination will either be enslaved, executed or exiled. However, being a slave is usually just a transitional state before becoming a Muslim through exhortation of one's master. If that fails, masters of slaves must treat their slaves fairly and make sure they don't resent their servitude, even though slavery in and of itself is not forbidden at all. If an infidel doesn't convert but wishes to be free, exile is the only alternative. Subverted in that for even the slightest trangression, the consequence would be that the slave-owner would have to emancipate a slave and set them up for life, making it very clear that slavery was wrong. Muhammad himself bought Bilal's[[note]]who was one of Muhammad's most trusted companions[[/note]] emancipation.

The Qur'an is a [[SacredLiterature holy text]] of [[UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} the Islamic faith]], the first and smallest text in the Islamic trilogy with the Sira[[note]]The stories of Muhammad's life, basically biographies.[[/note]] and the Hadiths[[note]]The collected words and actions of Muhammad[[/note]] being the other eighty four percent of it. The Qur'an differs from the Jewish and Christian [[Literature/TheBible Bible]], in that the work is not a collection of various other works, but rather a collection of sayings in verse attributed to Allah/God given to UsefulNotes/TheProphetMuhammad via the ArchangelGabriel. Think of it as ''God: The Collected Poems'', or perhaps as the Psalms of Islam.
