CHAPTERS BY THEMES
The Quran has three main themes:
Doctrine (e.g., acts of worship, human interactions, family re- lations, and business transactions), which focuses mainly on a Muslim's relationship with God, other people, and the rest of God's creation.
Stories (e.g., the story of Moses, Noah, and Ṣāliḥ), which served two purposes: to reassure the Prophet's heart, as he was met with rejec- tion in Mecca, and as cautionary tales for the pagans (see 11:120-123). Other stories (e.g, Joseph and Job) focus on moral lessons.
The Unseen (e.g., the belief in God and His qualities, as well as angels, resurrection, judgment, etc.), which reaffirms one's faith in the divine through one's heart, not eyes.
Some chapters contain more than one theme, and some individual verses may touch on a theme not presented here, but the following table represents the general themes covered in the body of the text.

Pagan Response to the Quran 4. But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "If only he was given the like of what Moses had been given." Did they not deny what had been given to Moses ear- lie? They claimed "Both "Scriptures are works of magic, supporting each other Adding, "We truly deny both" 49. Say, "O Prophet, "Bring then a scripture from God
which is a better guide than these two so I may follow it, if your claim is true." 5. So if they fail to respond to you, then know that they only follow their desires. And who could be more astray that those who follow their desires with no guidance from God? Surely God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
The Doubly Rewarded
Guidance Is from God Alone
56. You surely cannot guide whoever you like 'O Prophet, but it is God Who de whoever He wills, and He knows best w are 'fit to be guided.
51. Indeed, We have steadily delivered the Word of God to the people so they may be mindful. 52. As for those 'faithful to whom We had given the Scripture before this "Quran, they do believe in it. 53. When it is socited to them, they declare, "We be- ieve in it. This is definitely the truth from our Loed. We had already submined even before this 54, These believers' will be given a double reward for their persever- ance, respeeding to evil with good, and for decating from what We have provided for then 55. When they hear slanderous talk, they turn away from it, saying, "We are ac courable for our deeds and you for yours Peace is our only response to you! We want nothing to do with those who act ignorantly."
Pagan Excuses
57. They say to the Prophet", "If we wat to follow 'true' guidance with you, we would certainly be snatched away from our land Have We not established for them a safe hav en in Mecca to which fruits of all kinds are brought as a provision from Us? But most of them do not know this favour. Sam ine how many societies We have deset that had been spoiled by their comfortable living! Those are their residences, neveris- habited after them except passingly" And We alone were the Successor. 94. Your Lord would never destroy a society until He had sent to its capital a messenger, reciting Our revelations to them. Nor would he ever
destroy a society unless its people persisted in wrongdoing
This World or the Hereafter? 60. Whatever pleasure you have been given is no more than a fleeting' enjoyment and adomment of this worldly life. But what is with God is far better and more lasting Will you not then understand? 61. Can these whom We have made a fine proenise-whit they will see fulfilled-be like those who We have allowed to enjoy the pleasures of th worldly life, but on the Day of Judges will be brought "for punishment?

The True Believers
67. As for those who repent, believe, and do good in this world, it is right to hope that they will be among the successful.
God Almighty
Your Lord creates and chooses whatever He wills-the choice is not theirs. Glorified and Exalted is God above what they associ e with Him! 69. And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they re- veal 70. He is God. There is no god 'worthy of worship except Him. All praise belongs to Him in this life and the next. All authority is His. And to Him you will all be returned.
God's Might and Grace
71. Ask them, O Prophet", "Imagine if God were to make the night perpetual for you il the Day of Judgment, which god other than God could bring you sunlight? Will you not then listen?" 72. Ask them also", "Imag 740 A prophet

74. And watch for the Day He will call to them, "Where are these you claimed were My associate-gods?" And We will bring forth a winess from every faith comm nity and ask the polytheists, "Show "Us" your proof." Then they will come to know that the truth is with God'alere. And var ever gods they fabricated will fil then.
Korah's Arrogance
76 Indeed, Korah was from the people of Moses, but he behaved arogantly towards them. We had granted him such treasures that even their keys would burden a group of strong men. "Some of his people ad- vised him, "Do not be prideful! Surely God does not like the prideful. 17. Rather, sock the reward of the Hereafter by means of what God has granted you, without Seget ting your share of this world. And be good "to others' as God has been good to you Da not seek to spread corruption in the oral for God certainly does not like the commapkes."

about which you inquired has been decid- od" 42. Then he said to the one he knew would survive, "Mention me in the pres ence of your master. But Satan made him forget to mention Joseph to his master, so he remained in prison for several years.
The King's Dream
43. And one day the King said, "I dreamt of seven fat oras eaten up by seven skinny ones; and seven green cars of grain and 'sev en' others dry O chies! Tell me the mearing of my dream if you can interpret dreams" 44 They replied. "Those are confused vi sions and we do not know the interpretation of such dreams" 45. Firally, the surviv- ing ex-prisoner remembered Joseph' after a long time and said, "I will tell you its is tapectation, so send me forth to Joseph"
Interpretation of the King's Dream
46. He said. "Joseph, O man of truth! In- terpret for us the dream of seven fat cous calm up by seven skinny coes; and seven gors of grain and "seven others dry, so that I may tum to the people and let them know" 47. Joseph replied. "You will plant grain for seven consecutive years, kaving in fe whatever you will harvest, except for

54. The King said, "Bring him to me. I wil employ him exclusively in my service." And when Joseph spoke to him, the King said "Today you are highly esteemed and fully trusted by us."55. Joseph proposed, "P in charge of the store-houses of the land, for am truly reliable and adepe" 56. This is how We established Joseph in the land to sele wherever he pleased. We shower Our mercy en whoever We will, and We never discou the reward of the good-doers. 57. And the re ward of the Hereafter is far better for thos who are faithful and are mindful of God.

they were unaware of who he really was 5. When he had provided them with their supplies, he demanded, "Bring me your brother on your father's side. Do you not see that I give full measure and I am the best of hosts? 6. But if you do not bring him to me next time. I will have no grain for you, ser will you ever come close to me again." 61. They promised, "We will try to convince his father to let him come. We will certainly do our best." 62. Joseph ordered his ser- varts to put his brothers' money back into their saddlebags so that they would find it when they returned to their family and per- haps they would come back.
The Brothers Return Home
at When Joseph's brothers returned to their father, they pleaded, "O our father! We have been denied 'further supplies. So send our brother with us so that we may receive our measure, and we will definitely watch ever him." 64. He responded, "Should I trust you with him as I once trusted you with his brother "Joseph"? But "only" God is the best Protector, and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful" 65. When they opened their bags, they discovered that their money had been returned to them. They argued, "O our fa- ther! What more can we ask for? Here is our money, fully returned to us. Now we can buy more food for our family. We will watch over
our brother, and obtain an extra camel-load of grain. That load can be easily secured."
Jacob's Wisdom
66. Jacob insisted, "I will not send him with you until you give me a solemn oath by God that you will certainly bring him back to me, unless you are totally overpoweral." Then after they had given him their coths, he con- daded, "God is a Witness to what we have
d" 67. He then instructal them. "O my
sous! Do not enter the city all fough one gate, but through separate gales carnot help you against what is destined by God in the last. It is only God Who decides. In Him I put my trust. And in Him let the faith- fal put their must" 68. Then when they en tered as their father had instructed them, this did not help them against the Will of God whatsoever. It was just a desire in Jacob's heart which he saasfied. He was truly bless ed with great knowledge because of whr We had taught him, but most people have no knowledge.
The Royal Cup
69. When they entered Joseph's presence. he called his brother 'Benjamin' aside, and confided to him, "I am indeed your beother Joseph'! So do not feel disressed about what they have been doing." When Joseph had provided them with supplies, be he slipped
the royal cup into his brother's bag. Then a herald criol. "O people of the carvan! You must be thieves" 71. They asked, tuming back, "What have you lost?" ?2. The herald along with the guards replied. "We have last the King's 's measuring cup And whoev er brings it will be awarded a camel-load of grain. I praise it" 11. Joseph's brothers replied, "By God! You know well that we did not come to cause trouble in the land, nor are we thieves" 74. Joseph's men asked, "What
should be the price for theft, if you are lying?" 75. Joseph's brothers responded. "The price will be 'the enslavement of the one in whose bag the cup is found. That is how we punish the wrongdoers."
Joseph Takes Benjamin 76. Joseph began searching their bags before that of his brother 'Benjamin', then brought it out of Benjamin's bag. This is how We in- spired Joseph to plan. He could not have tak
