Do
men imagine that they will be left (at
ease) because they say, We believe,
and will not be tested with affliction? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Lo!
We tested those who were before you. Thus Allah knows those who are
sincere, and knows those who feign. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Or
do those who do ill deeds imagine that they can outstrip Us: Evil
(for them )
is that which they decide. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Whoso
looks forward to the meeting with Allah (let
him know that) Allah's reckoning
is surely nigh, and He is the Hearer, the Knower. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
whosoever strives, strives only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether
Independent of (His)
creatures. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
as for those who believe and do good works, We shall remit from them
their evil deeds and shall repay them the best that they did. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
We
have enjoined on man kindness to parents; but if they strive to make
you join with Me that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them
not. Unto Me is your return and I shall tell you what you used to
do. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And
as for those who believe and do good works, We veril shall make them
enter in among the righteous. |
|

Of
humankind is he who says: We believe in Allah, but, if he be made
to suffer for the sake of Allah, he mistaks the persecution of humankind
for Allah's punishment; and then, if victory coms from your Lord,
will say: Lo! we were with you (all
the while). Is not Allah best
aware of what is in the bosoms of (His)
creatures? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Verily
Allah knowes those who believe, and verily He knowes the hypocrites. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Those
who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Follow our way (of
religion) and we verily will
bear your sins (for you).
They cannot bear aught of their sins. Lo! they verily are liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
But
they verily will hear their own loads and other loads beside their
own, and they verily will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection
concerning that which they invented. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And
verify We sent Noah (as Our
messenger) unto his folk, and
he continued with them for a thousand years save fifty years; and
the flood engulfed them, for they were wrongdoers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And
We rescued him and those with him in the ship, and made of it a portent
for the peoples. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
Abraham {Ibrahim}!
(Remember)
when he said unto his folk: serve Allah, and keep your duty unto Him;
that is better for you if you did but know. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
You
serve instead of Allah only idols, and you only invent a lie. Lo!
those whom you serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So
seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him, and give thanks unto
Him, (for)
unto Him you will be brought back. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
But
if you deny, then nations have denied before you. The messenger is
only to convey (the Message)
plainly. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
See
they not how Allah produces creation, then reproduces it? Lo! for
Allah that is easy. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Say
(O Muhammad):
Travel in the land and see how He originated creation, then Allah
brings forth the later growth. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
He
punishes whom He will and shows mercy unto whom He will, and unto
Him you will be turned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
You
cannot escape (from Him)
in the earth or in the sky, and beside Allah there is for you no friend
nor helper. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Those
who disbelieve in the revelations of Allah and in (their)
Meeting with Him, such have no hope of My mercy. For such there is
a painful doom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
But
the answer of his folk was only that they said: "Kill him"
or "Burn him." Then Allah saved him from the fire. Lo! herein
verily are portents for folk who believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
He
said: You have chosen idols instead of Allah. The love between you
is only in the life of the world. Then on the Day of Resurrection
you will deny each other and curse each other, and your abode will
be the Fire, and you will have no helpers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And
Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo!
He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob {Ya'qub},
and We established the Prophethood and the Scripture among his seed,
and We gave him his reward in the world, and lo! in the Hereafter
he verily is among the righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And
Lot! (Remember)
when he said unto his folk: Lo! you commit lewdness such as no creature
did before you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
For
come you not in unto males, and cut you not the road (for
travellers), and commit you
not abomination in your meetings? But the answer of his folk was only
that they said: Bring Allah's doom upon us if you are a truth teller! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
He
said: My Lord! Give me victory over folk who work corruption. |
