[edit] Prohibitions

Crime Punishment
Not believing in Allah (Qur'an 2:6-7) Luckily, Allah tells us that he has "sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom," which means that Allah actually forces nonbelievers to not believe, and then condemns them for it. Truly, a benevolent god.
Believing in Allah, but in the wrong way (Qur'an 2:13) The punishment is "to wander blindly on in their contumacy." Again, Allah makes it impossible to turn back to Allah.
Trying, and failing, to write a religious verse more beautiful than those in the Qur'an (Qur'an 2:23-24) If you fail, then you must "guard yourselves against the Fire prepared for disbelievers."
Worshipping golden calves (Qur'an 2:54) Muhammad tells the guilty that they should "turn in penitence to your Creator, and kill ... yourselves".
Breaking the Sabbath (Qur'an 2:65) Apparently you become an ape, "despised and hated".
Writing something and claiming it's "from Allah" (Qur'an 2:79) There will be a lot of "woe".
If male, *ahem* approaching a menstruating female (Qur'an 2:222) None specified
Making war on Allah or spreading "corruption" (Qur'an 5:33)[1] Those who do "will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom." Nice.
Calling people mean nicknames (Qur'an 49:11) You become an "evil-doer".
