Koranul despre monahismul crestinilor

Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread)

5:82 Thou wilt surely find that, of all people, the most hostile to those who believe [in this divine writ] are the Jews as well as those who are bent on ascribing divinity to aught beside God; and thou wilt surely find that, of all people, ^[96] they who say, "Behold, we are Christians," come closest to feeling affection for those who believe [in this divine writ]: this is so because there are priests and monks among them, and because these are not given to arrogance. ^[97]

Topics discussed in this Verse:
[Compassion and Mercy in their hearts:love for the Believers] [Jews:enmity of] [Kabah] [Monasticism of Christians] [Pagans and polytheists:enmity to Believers] [People of the Book:relationship to Muslims]

Al-Hadid (Iron)

57:27 And thereupon We caused [other of] Our apostles to follow in their footsteps; and [in the course of time] We caused them to be followed by Jesus, the son of Mary, upon whom We bestowed the Gospel; ^[46] and in the hearts of those who [truly] followed him We engendered compassion and mercy. But as for monastic asceticism - ^[47] We did not enjoin it upon them: they invented it themselves out of a desire for God’s goodly acceptance. ^[48] But then, they did not [always] observe it as it ought to have been observed: ^[49] and so We granted their recompense unto such of them as had [truly] attained to faith, whereas many of them became iniquitous.
