*Al-An'aam, 6:2*

It is He who has created you from clay. He has decreed a term for you and another one set with Him. Yet you are still in doubt.

*Al-Maaida, 5:110*

When Allah said: '( Prophet) Jesus, son of Mary, remember the favor upon you and on your mother; how I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit (Gabriel), to speak to people in your cradle and of age (when he descends and dies); how I taught you the Book and Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel; and how, by My permission, you fashioned from clay the likeness of a bird, and breathed into it so that, by My permission, it became a living bird. How, by My permission, you healed the blind man and the leper, and by My permission you brought the dead forth; and how I protected you from the Children of Israel when you brought them clear signs; whereupon the unbelievers among them said: "This is nothing but plain magic".

*Al-Maaida, 5:90*

 You who believe, intoxicants and gambling, idolatrous practices, and [divining with] arrows are repugnant acts- Satan’s doing- shun them so that you may prosper.

*Al-Maaida, 5:87-88*

You who believe, do not forbid the good things God has made lawful to you- do not exceed the limits: God does not love those who exceed the limits-

but eat the lawful and good things that God provides for you. Be mindful of God, in whom you believe.

*Al-Maaida, 5:72-73*

Those who say, ‘Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary,’ have defied Allah. The Messiah himself said, ‘Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ If anyone associates others with Allah, Allah will forbid him from the Heaven, and Hell will be his home. No one will help such evildoers.

Those people who say that Allah is the third of three are defying [the truth]: there is only One God. If they persist in what they are saying, a painful punishment will afflict those of them who persist.
