Blame

O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allāh will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, strong against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allāh and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allāh; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he will not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased."

And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, Allāh had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allāh] before.¹ Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment."

And do not make your hand [as] chained to your neck¹ or extend it completely² and [thereby] become blamed and insolvent.

That is from what your Lord has revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], of wisdom. And, [O mankind], do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity, lest you be thrown into Hell, blamed and banished.

And they who guard their private parts

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,¹ for indeed, they will not be blamed -

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.¹

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.

And those who guard their private parts

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,¹ for indeed, they are not to be blamed -
