In the name of God, the Lord of Grace, the Ever Merciful

This book is bestowed from on high by God, the Almighty, the Wise. It is We who have bestowed on you this revelation from on high, stating the truth. Therefore, worship God alone, sincere in your faith in Him. True devotion is due to God alone. Those who take others besides Him as their protectors say: 'We worship them for no reason other than that they would bring us nearer to God.' God will judge between them concerning all matters on which they differ. God will not grace with guidance anyone who is bent on lying [to himself and is] stubbornly ingrate!
(Quran 39: 1-3)

85 AND [remember:] We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them without [an inner] truth; but, behold, the Hour [when this will become clear to all] is indeed yet to come. Hence, forgive [men's failings] with fair forbearance:
86 verily, thy Sustainer is the all-knowing Creator of all things!
87 AND, INDEED, We have bestowed upon thee seven of the oft-repeated [verses], and [have, thus, laid open before thee] this sublime
88 [so] turn not shine eyes [longingly] towards the worldly benefits which We have granted unto some of those [that deny the truth]. And neither grieve over those [who refuse to heed thee], but spread the wings of thy tenderness over the believers,
89 and say: "Behold, I am indeed the plain warner [promised by God]!"
90 [For, thou art the bearer of a divine writ ] such as We have bestowed from on high upon those who [afterwards] broke it up into parts,
91 [and] who [now] declare this Qur'an to be [a tissue of] falsehoods!
92 But, by thy Sustainer! [On the Day of Judgment] We shall indeed call them to account, one and all,
93 for whatever they have done!
94 Hence, proclaim openly all that thou hast been bidden [to say], and leave alone all those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God: 95 verily, We shall suffice thee against all who [now] deride [this message - all]
96 who assert that there are, side by side with God, other divine powers as well: for in time they will come to know [the truth].
97 And well do We know that thy bosom is constricted by the [blasphemous] things that they say:
98 but extol thou thy Sustainer's limitless glory and, praise Him, and be of those who prostrate themselves [before Him] in adoration,
99 and worship thy Sustainer till death comes to thee.

Surah Al Mutaffifin
(Chapter: The Defrauding)

Some produce in the UK is becoming expensive (Brexit being a major factor) so I was reminded by these verses. I think it's important for business owners to remain transparent and fair with what they're offering and to not take advantage of a desperate or struggling nation.

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Woe to those who give less [than due],
83:2

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.

“And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.” (7:57)

“It is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice.” (30:48)

“It is He who shows you lightening, [causing] fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds.” (13:12)

“And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees – of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.” (Qur’an, 6:99)

But they have attributed to Allah partners - the jinn, while He has created them - and have fabricated for Him sons and daughters. Exalted is He and high above what they describe
6:100


[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing.
6:101


That is Allah, your Lord; there is no deity except Him, the Creator of all things, so worship Him. And He is Disposer of all things.
6:102


Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted.

Yeah, 6:103 completely caught me off-guard when I originally first read Surah Al-Anʻām. That ayat itself (as with the rest of the Surah itself) is incredibly profound. The following ayat (6:104) is an important addition to the above:
"Indeed there have come to you clear proofs from your Lord; whoever will therefore see, it is for his own soul and whoever will be blind, it shall be against himself and I am not a keeper over you."

Also, on 6:103, "the subtle" is a name of Allah: al-Latif.
And, "the acquainted/aware" is another name of Allah: al-Khabir.

The inner meaning of this is that Allah is pure subtly (far more subtle to anything in Creation such as atoms and particles) and is pure awareness. Vision does not perceive Allah because all vision is through Allah and all awareness is through Allah. The highest awareness is also that which can only been deliberately sought through the Unity of Allah swt.
There are a lot of inexhaustible depths here, the Qur'an overflows with it :D

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
113:1
From the evil of that which He created
113:2
And from the evil of darkness when it settles
113:3
And from the evil of the blowers in knots
113:4
And from the evil of an envier when he envies."
113:5

AND [thus it is:] We have not created heaven and earth and all that is between them without meaning and purpose, as is the surmise of those who are bent on denying the truth: but then, woe from the fire [of hell] unto all who are bent on denying the truth! [26] - 38:27
[For,] would We treat those who have attained to faith and do righteous deeds in the same manner as [We shall treat] those who spread corruption on earth? Would We treat the God-conscious in the same manner as the wicked? [27] - 38:28

30:8 Have they never learned to think for themselves?
God has not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them without [an inner] truth and a term set [by Him]: and yet, behold, there are many people who stubbornly deny the truth that they are destined to meet their Sustainer!
30:9 Have they, then, never journeyed about the earth and beheld what happened in the end to those [deniers of the truth] who lived before their time?
Greater were they in power than they are; and they left a stronger impact on the earth, and built it up even better than these [are doing]; and to them [too] came their apostles with all evidence of the truth: and so, [when they rejected the truth and thereupon perished,] it was not God who wronged them, but it was they who had wronged themselves.
30:10 And once again: evil is bound to be the end of those who do evil by giving the lie to God’s messages and deriding them.

Say: "Am I, then, to seek a sustainer other than God, when He is the Sustainer of all things?" And whatever [wrong] any human being commits rests upon himself alone; and no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another's burden. And, in time, unto your Sustainer you all must return: and then He will make you. [truly] understand all that on which you were wont to differ.
6:164
Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger.
17:15
AND NO BEARER of burdens shall be made to bear another’s burden; and if one weighed down by his load calls upon [another] to help him carry it, nothing thereof may be carried [by that other], even if it be one’s near of kin. Hence, thou canst [truly] warn only those who stand in awe of their Sustainer although He is beyond the reach of their perception, [ and are constant in prayer, and [know that] whoever grows in purity, attains to purity but for the good of his own self, and [that] with God is all journeys’ end. -
35:18
If you are ingrate behold, God has no need of you; none the less, He does not approve of ingratitude in His servants: whereas, if you show gratitude, He approves it in you. And no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another’s burden. In time, unto your Sustainer you all must return, and then He will make you [truly] understand all that you were doing [in life]: for, verily, He has full knowledge of what is in the hearts -
39:7

17:107 Say: "Believe in it or do not believe." Behold, those who are already endowed with [innate] knowledge fall down upon their faces in prostration as soon as this [divine writ] is conveyed unto them,
17:108 and say, "Limitless in His glory is our Sustainer! Verily, our Sustainer's promise has been fulfilled!"
7:109 And so they fall down upon their faces, weeping, and [their consciousness of God's grace] increases their humility.
17:110 Say: "Invoke God, or invoke the Most Gracious: by whichever name you invoke Him, [He is always the One-for] His are all the attributes of perfection. And [pray unto Him; yet] be not too loud in thy prayer nor speak it in too low a voice, but follow a way in-between;
17:111 and say: "All praise is due to God, who begets no offspring, [and has no partner in His dominion, and has no weakness, and therefore no need of any aid" -and [thus] extol His limitless greatness. -
18:1 ALL PRAISE is due to God, who has bestowed. this divine writ from on high upon His servant, and has not allowed any deviousness to obscure its meaning:
18:2 [a divine writ] unerringly straight, meant to warn [the godless] of a severe punishment from Him, and to give unto the believers who do good works the glad tiding that theirs shall be a goodly reward
18:3 [a state of bliss] in which they. shall dwell beyond the count of time.
18:4 Furthermore, [this divine writ is meant] to warn all those who assert, "God has taken unto Himself a son."
18:5 No knowledge whatever have they of Him, and neither had their forefathers: dreadful -is this saying that comes out of their mouths, [and] nothing but falsehood do they utter! -
18:6 But wouldst thou, perhaps, torment thyself to death with grief over them if they are not willing to believe in this message?
8:7 Behold, We have willed that all beauty on earth be a means by which We put men to a test, [showing] which of them are best in conduct; -
18:8 and, verily, [in time] We shall reduce all that is on it to barren dust! -

True piety does not consist in turning your faces towards the east or the west
- but truly pious is he who believes in God, and the Last Day; and the angels, and revelation,
and the prophets; and spends his substance - however much he himself may cherish - it
- upon his near of kin, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and the beggars,
and for the freeing of human beings from bondage; and is constant in prayer, and renders the purifying dues; and [truly pious are] they who keep their promises whenever they promise, and are patient in misfortune and hardship and in time of peril: it is they that have proved themselves true, and it is they, they who are conscious of God.

By time, (103:1)

Indeed, Mankind is in Loss, (103:2)

Except for those who have believed and done Righteous deeds and advised each other to Truth and advised eachother to Patience. (103:3)
