O mankind: eat of what is in the earth lawful and good
And follow not the footsteps of the shayṭān.
He is an open enemy to you.
He but enjoins upon you evil and sexual immorality
And that you ascribe to God what you know not.
And when it is said to them: Follow what God has sent down
They say: Nay: we follow that wherein we found our fathers.
Even though their fathers did not reason and were not rightly guided? (2:168-170)

The shayṭān is an enemy to you
So take him as an enemy.
He but calls his party that they might be among the companions of the inferno. (35:6)

And marry not the idolatresses until they believe.
And a believing slave girl is better than an idolatress though she impress you.
And give not in marriage to the idolaters until they believe.
And a believing slave is better than an idolater though he impress you.
These invite to the fire.
And God invites to the garden
And forgiveness by his leave.
And he makes plain his proofs to men
That they might take heed.
(2:221)

4:25, 5:5, secret friends: akhdān

And let abstain those who find not marriage until God enriches them out of his bounty.
24:33

Say thou to the believing men that they restrain some of their vision
And guard their modesty.
That is purer for them.
God is aware of what they do.
(24:30)

And those who – when they commit sexual immorality or wrong their souls – remember God
And ask forgiveness for their transgressions
(And who forgives transgressions save God?)
And persist not in what they were doing.
And they know.
These:
Their reward is forgiveness from their lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow
They abiding eternally therein.
And excellent is the reward of those who act.
(3:135-136)
