Glad Tidings and Warnings in the Qur’an

Giving glad tidings to believers and giving warning to non-believers are major subjects of the Qur’an. To emphasize seriousness of human life, the Qur’an keeps on mentioning glad tidings or warnings repeatedly through out the Qur’an. Generally they both come together, one after another.

Glad Tidings

And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, ho, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return.” [2:155-156]

[And mention] when the angels said, “O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary – distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah ]. [3:45]

And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from Allah great bounty. [33:47,

2:25, 2:155, 10:63-64,22:34-35,39:17, 57:12, 61:6].

Warnings

O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing. On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child] she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allah is severe. [22:1-2]

O mankind, fear your Lord and fear a Day when no father will avail his son, nor will a son avail his father at all. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allah by the Deceiver. [31:33]

…And this The Qur’an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches…[6:19, 2:119, 6:192, 14:44,16:2,17:105]
