Are
(these two)
alike?--one to whom We have made a goodly promise, and who is going
to reach its (fulfillment)
and one to whom we have given the good things of this life, but who,
on the Day of Judgment, is to be among those brought up (for
punishment)? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 62. |
That
Day Allah will call to them, and say: "Where are My `partners'?--whom
you imagined (to be such)?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 63. |
Those
against whom the charge will be proved, will say: "Our Lord!
These are the ones whom we led astray: we led them astray, as we were
astray ourselves: we free ourselves (from
them) in Your presence! It was
not us they worshipped." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 64. |
It
will be said (to them):
"Call upon your 'partners' (for
help)": they will call
upon them, but they will not listen to them; and they will see the
Penalty (before them);
(how they will wish)
'If only they had been open to guidance!' |
|
|
|
|
|
| 65. |
That
Day (Allah)
will call to them, and say: "What was the answer you gave to
the messengers?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
Then
the (whole)
story that day will seem obscure to them (like
light to the blind) and they
will not be able (even)
to question each other. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 67. |
But
any that (in this life)
had repented, believed, and worked righteousness, will have hopes
to be among those who achieve salvation. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 68. |
Your
Lord does create and choose as He pleases: no choice have they (in
the matter): Glory to Allah!
And far is He above the partners they ascribe (to
Him)! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
And
your Lord knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
And
He is Allah: there is no god but He. To him be praise, at the first
and at the last: for Him is the Command, and to Him shall you
(all) be brought back |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
Say:
see you? If Allah were to make the Night perpetual over you to the
Day of Judgment, what god is there other than Allah, who can give
you enlightenment? Will you not then hearken? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
Say:
see you: If Allah were to make the Day perpetual over you to the Day
of Judgment, what god is there other than Allah who can give you a
Night in which you can rest? Will you not then see? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
It
is out of His Mercy that He has made for you Night and Day--that you
may rest therein, and that you may seek of His Grace--and in ;order
that you may be grateful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
The
Day that He will call on them, He will say: "Where are My `partners'
whom you imagined (to be such)?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
And
from each people shall We draw a witness, and We shall say: "Produce
your Proof": then shall they know that the Truth is in Allah
(alone),
and the (lies)
which they invented will leave them in the lurch." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
Qarun
was doubtless, of the people of Moses; but he acted insolently towards
them: such were the treasures We had bestowed on him, that their very
keys would have been a burden to a body of strong men: Behold, his
people said to him: "Exult not, for Allah loves not those who
exult (in riches). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
"But
seek, with the (wealth)
which Allah has bestowed on you, the Home of the Hereafter nor forget
your portion in this world: but do you good, as Allah has been good
to you, and seek not (occasions
for) mischief in the land: for
Allah loves not those who do mischief." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
He
said: "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge
which I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, before
him (whole)
generations--which were superior to him in strength and greater in
amount (of riches)
they had collected? But the wicked are not called (immediately)
to account for their sins. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
So
he went forth among his people in the (pride
of his worldly) glitter. Said
those whose aim is the Life of this World: "Oh, that we had the
like of what Qarun has got! For he is truly a lord of mighty good
fortune." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
But
those who had been granted (true)
knowledge said: "Alas for you! The reward of Allah (in
the Hereafter) is best for those
who believe and work righteousness: but this none shall attain, save
those who steadfastly persevere (in
good)." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
Then
We caused the earth to swallow him up and his house; and he had not
(the least little)
party to help him against Allah, nor could he defend himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
And
those who had envied his position the day before began to say on the
morrow: "Ah! It is indeed Allah Who enlarges the provision or
restricts it, to any of His servants He pleases! Had it not been that
Allah was gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow
us up! Ah! Those who reject Allah will assuredly never prosper." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
That
House of the Hereafter We shall give to those who intend not high-handedness
or mischief on earth: and the End is (best)
for the righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
If
any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any
does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to
the extent) of their deeds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
Verily
He Who ordained the Qur-an for you, will bring you back to the Place
of Return. Say: "My Lord knows best who it is that brings true
guidance and who is in manifest error." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
And
you had not expected that the Book would be sent to you except as
a Mercy from your Lord: therefore lend not you support in any way
to those who reject (Allah's
Message). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
And
let nothing keep you back from the Signs of Allah after they have
been revealed to you: and invite (men)
to your Lord, and be not of the company of those who join gods with
Allah. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
And
call not, besides Allah, on another god. There is no god but He. Everything
(that exists)
will perish except His own Face. To him belongs the Command, and to
him will you (all)
be brought back. |
