Allah is the
Greatest Allah is the Greatest I seek refuge in Allah from the
accursed Satan In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful Alif, Lam, Meem. Has there not been
revealed the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the
worlds? Or do they say, “He invented it?” Rather, it is the truth from
your Lord. “Truly, [O Muhammad], do you
leave a people to whom no warner came before you that they might be guided?”
Allah is He who created the heavens and the earth and all
between them in six
days in six
days, then He established Himself on the Throne. You have not besides Him any
protector or intercessor. Then will you not
remember? He directs the affair from
the heaven to the earth, then it will ascend to Him in a
Day, the
extent of which is in a Day, the extent of which is a
thousand years of those which you
count. That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. He who
perfected everything He created. And He began the creation of
man from
clay. Then He made his seed from an
extract of
despised water. Then He proportioned him and
breathed into him of His [created]
spirit and made for you hearing and vision and hearts.
Little do you give thanks. And they
say, “When we stray in the earth,
I will surely be in a new creation.” Rather, they, in the
meeting with his Lord, are
disbelievers. Say, “The
Angel of Death who is put over you will take you.” To your
Lord you will be
returned. And if you could but
see when the criminals hang their heads before their
Lord, [saying], “Our Lord,
we have seen
and we have heard, so
return us [to the world]; we will do righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain.” And if We
had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me will come into effect: “No.” Hell is [not] for the jinn and the people, all together. So taste [the punishment] for what you used to do because you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours. Indeed, We have forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do. Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them,
fall down in prostration
and exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord, and they are not
arrogant. Their sides forsake their beds; they
supplicate their Lord in fear
and hope, and they
spend out of what We have provided them. No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do. Is he who was a
believer
like he who was a
wicked? They are
not equal. As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, they will have Paradise as an accommodation for what they used to do.
But as for those who were wicked, then the
Fire will not make them doubt.
Every time they
wish to get out of it, they will be returned
to it, and it will be said to them, “Taste the punishment of the Fire which
you used to
deny.” And that We may make them taste
of the lesser punishment before the greater punishment that perhaps they will
return. And who is more unjust than he who is
reminded of the verses of his Lord and then turns away from them? Indeed, he is from the
criminals an apologist.
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture, so be not in
doubt about
meeting him, and We made it a
guidance for the Children of
Israel, and We made from among them
leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and were certain of
Our signs. Indeed, it is your
Lord who will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which
they used to
differ. Have they not been guided how many
generations We destroyed before them who used to walk about in
their dwellings? Indeed in that are
signs. Do they not hear? Have they not seen that We
drive
water to the barren land and
produce thereby crops from which livestock
and themselves eat? Then do they not
see? And
they say, “When will this conquest be, if you should be
truthful?” Say, “On the Day of Conquest, their faith will not benefit those who
disbelieve, nor will they be
reprieved.” So turn away from them and
wait; indeed,
they are
waiting.
