O
Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes),
while praying and going round (the Tawaf of ) the Ka'bah, and
eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance).
32.
Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]:
"Who has forbidden the adornment with clothes given by Allah, which
He has produced for his slaves, and At-Tayyibat [all
kinds of Halal (lawful)
things] of food?" Say: "They
are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) exclusively for them (believers) on the Day of Resurrection (the disbelievers will not share
them)." Thus We explain
the Ayat (Islamic laws) in detail for people who have knowledge.
33.
Say [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]:
"(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are AlFawahish (great evil sins, and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression,
joining partners (in worship) with Allah for which He has
given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have
no knowledge."
34.
And
every nation has its appointed term; when their term comes, neither
can they delay it nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).
35.
O Children of Adam!
If there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting to you,
My Verses, then whosoever becomes pious and righteous, on them shall
be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
36.
But
those who reject Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and treat them with arrogance, they are the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire, they will abide
therein forever.
37.
Who
is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects
His Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations)?
For such their appointed portion (good things of this worldly life and their period of stay therein) will reach them from the Book (of Decrees) until, when Our
Messengers (the angel of death
and his assistants) come to them
to take their souls, they (the
angels) will say: "Where are
those whom you used to invoke and worship besides Allah," they will
reply, "They have vanished and deserted us." And they will bear witness
against themselves, that they were disbelievers.
38.
(Allah) will say: "Enter you in the
company of nations who passed away before you, of men and jinn, into
the Fire." Every time a new nation enters, it curses its sister nation (that went before),
until they will be gathered all together in the Fire. The last of
them will say to the first of them: "Our Lord! These misled us, so
give them a double torment of the Fire." He will say: "For each one
there is double (torment),
but you know not."
39.
The first of them will
say to the last of them: "You were not better than us, so taste the
torment for what you used to earn."
40.
Verily,
those who belie Our Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) and treat them with arrogance, for them the gates of heaven will not
be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through
the eye of the needle (which
is impossible). Thus do We recompense
the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists
and sinners).
41.
Theirs
will be a bed of Hell (Fire),
and over them coverings (of
Hell-fire). Thus do We recompense
the Zalimun (polytheists and
wrongdoers).
42.
But
those who believed (in the Oneness
of Allah - Islamic Monotheism),
and worked righteousness - We tax not any person beyond his scope,
such are the dwellers of Paradise. They will abide therein.
43.
And
We shall remove from their breasts any (mutual) hatred or sense of injury (which they had, if at all,
in the life of this world); rivers
flowing under them, and they will say: "All the praises and thanks
be to Allah, Who has guided us to this, and never could we have found
guidance, were it not that Allah had guided us! Indeed, the Messengers
of our Lord did come with the truth." And it will be cried out to
them: "This is the Paradise which you have inherited for what you
used to do."
44.
And
the dwellers of Paradise will call out to the dwellers of the Fire (saying):
"We have indeed found true what our Lord had promised us; have you
also found true, what your Lord promised (warnings)?"
They shall say: "Yes." Then a crier will proclaim between them: "The
Curse of Allah is on the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers),"
45.
Those
who hindered (men) from the Path of Allah, and would seek to make it crooked, and they
were disbelievers in the Hereafter.
46.
And
between them will be a (barrier) screen and on AlA'raf (a wall
with elevated places) will be
men (whose good and evil deeds
would be equal in scale), who
would recognise all (of the
Paradise and Hell people), by
their marks (the dwellers of
Paradise by their white faces and the dwellers of Hell by their black
faces), they will call out to
the dwellers of Paradise, "Salamun 'Alaykum" (peace be on you), and at that
time they (men on Al-A'raf) will not yet have entered it (Paradise),
but they will hope to enter (it) with certainty.
47.
And
when their eyes will be turned towards the dwellers of the Fire, they
will say: "Our Lord! Place us not with the people who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers)."
48.
And
the men on AlA'raf (the wall) will call unto the men whom they would recognise by their marks, saying:
"Of what benefit to you were your great numbers (and hoards of wealth), and your
arrogance against Faith?"
49.
Are
they those, of whom you swore that Allah would never show them mercy. (Behold! It has been said to
them): "Enter Paradise, no fear
shall be on you, nor shall you grieve."
50.
And
the dwellers of the Fire will call to the dwellers of Paradise: "Pour
on us some water or anything that Allah has provided you with." They
will say: "Both (water and provision) Allah has forbidden to the disbelievers."
51.
"Who
took their religion as an amusement and play, and the life of the
world deceived them." So this Day We shall forget them as they forgot
their meeting of this Day, and as they used to reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations).
52.
Certainly,
We have brought them a Book (the Qur-an) which We have explained
in detail with knowledge, - a guidance and a mercy to a people who
believe.
53.
Await
they just for the final fulfillment of the event? On the Day the event
is finally fulfilled (i.e. the
Day of Resurrection), those who
neglected it before will say: "Verily, the Messengers of our Lord
did come with the truth, now are there any intercessors for us that
they might intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back (to the first life of the world) so that we might do (good) deeds other than those (evil) deeds which we used to do?"
Verily, they have lost their ownselves (i.e. destroyed themselves) and that which they used to fabricate (invoking and worshipping others besides Allah) has gone away from them.
54.
Indeed
your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days,
and then He rose over (Istawa) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty).
He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His
is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the
'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all
that exists)!
55.
Invoke your Lord with
humility and in secret. He likes not the aggressors.
56.
And
do not do mischief on the earth, after it has been set in order, and
invoke Him with fear and hope; Surely, Allah's Mercy is (ever) near unto the gooddoers.
57.
And
it is He Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before
His Mercy (rain).
Till when they have carried a heavyladen cloud, We drive it to a
land that is dead, then We cause water (rain) to descend thereon. Then
We produce every kind of fruit therewith. Similarly, We shall raise
up the dead, so that you may remember or take heed.
58.
The
vegetation of a good land comes forth (easily) by the Permission of
its Lord, and that which is bad, brings forth nothing but a little
with difficulty. Thus do We explain variously the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for a people who give thanks.
59.
Indeed,
We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people and he said: "O my people! Worship Allah! You have no
other Ilah (God) but Him. (La ilaha ill-Allah:
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).
Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a Great Day!"
60.
The
leaders of his people said: "Verily, we see you in plain error."
