Allah has heard the taunt of those
who say: "Truly, Allah is indigent and we are rich!" - We
shall certainly record their word and (their
act) of slaying the Prophets
in defiance of right, and We shall say: "Taste you the penalty
of the Scorching Fire!. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 182. |
"This is because of the
(unrighteous deeds)
which your hands sent on before you; for Allah never those who serve
Him." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 183. |
They (also)
said: "Allah took our promise not to believe in an Messenger
unless He showed us a sacrifice consumed by fire (from
heaven)." Say: "There
came to you Messengers before me, with Clear Signs and even with what
you ask for: why then did you slay them, if you speak the truth?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 184. |
Then if they reject you, so were rejected
Messengers before you, who came with Clear Signs, and the Books of
dark prophecies, and the Book of enlightenment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 185. |
Every soul shall have a taste of death:
and only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense.
Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden
will have attained the object (of
Life): for the life of this
world is but goods and chattels of deception. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 186. |
You shall certainly be tried and tested
in your possessions and in your personal selves; and you shall certainly
hear much that will grieve you, from those who received the Book before
you and from those who worship many gods. But if you persevere patiently,
and guard against evil - then that will be a determining factor in
all affairs. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 187. |
And remember Allah took a Covenant
from the People of the Book, to make it known and clear to mankind,
and not to hide it; but they threw it away behind their backs, and
purchased with it some miserable gain! and vile was the bargain they
made! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 188. |
Think not that those who exult in what
they have brought about, and love to be praised for what they have
not done - think not that they can escape the Penalty. For them is
a Penalty grievous indeed. |

To Allah belongs the dominion of the
heavens and the earth; and Allah has power over all things. |
|
|
|
|
|

Behold! in the creation of the heavens
and the earth, and the alternation of Night and Day - there are indeed
Signs for men of understanding - |
|
|
|
|
|
|
191. |
Men who celebrate the praises of Allah,
standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate
the (wonders of)
creation in the heavens and the earth, (with
the thought): "Our Lord!
not for naught have you created (all)
this! Glory to you! give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 192. |
"Our Lord! any whom you do admit
to the Fire, truly you cover with shame, and never will wrong-doers
find any helpers!. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 193. |
"Our Lord! we have heard the call
of one calling (us)
to Faith, ‘Believe you in the Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord!
forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to
Yourself our souls in the company of the righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
194. |
"Our Lord! grant us what You did
promise unto us through Your Messengers, and save us from shame on
the Day of Judgment; for you never break Your promise." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
195. |
And their Lord has accepted of them,
and answered them: "Never will I suffer to be lost the work of
any of you, be he male or female: you are members, one of another;
those who have left their homes, and were driven out there from, and
suffered harm in My Cause, or fought or been slain - verily, I will
blot out from them their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with
rivers flowing beneath - a reward from the Presence of Allah, and
from His Presence is the best of rewards." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 196. |
Let not the strutting about of the
unbelievers through the land deceive you: |
|
|
|
|
|
| 197. |
Little is it for enjoyment: their ultimate
abode is Hell; what an evil bed (to
lie on)! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 198. |
On the other hand, for those who fear
their Lord, are Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath; therein are
they to dwell (forever)
- a gift from the Presence of Allah; and that which is in the Presence
of Allah is the best (bliss)
for the righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 199. |
And there are, certainly, among the
people of the Book, those who believe in Allah, in the revelation
to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to Allah:
they will not sell the Signs of Allah for a miserable gain! for them
is a reward with their Lord, and Allah is swift in account. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 200. |
O you who believe! persevere in patience
and constancy; vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and
fear Allah; that you may prosper. |
