Saying: ye shall
not worship ought except Allah. Verily I am unto you from Him a warner
and a bearer of glad tidings. |

And that: ask
forgiveness of your Lord, then repent toward Him, He will let you
enjoy a goodly enjoyment until a term appointed and will vouchsafe
unto every owner of grace His grace. And if ye turn away, verily I
fear for you the torment of a Great Day. |

|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Lo! they fold
their breasts that they may hide from Him. Lo! when they cover themselves
with their garments, He knoweth that which they conceal and that which
they make known. Verily He is the Knower of the secrets of the breasts. |

And He it is
who hath created the heavens and the earth in six days -and His throne

death, surely those who disbelieve will say: naught is this but sorcery
manifest. |
|

And if We defer
from them the torment until a period determined, they say: What withholdeth
it! Lo! the day it betideth them it shall not be averted from them,
and shall beset them that whereat they have been mocking. |

And if We let
man taste mercy from us, and thereafter withdraw it from him, verily
he is despairing, blaspheming. |
|

|
|
|

And if We let
him taste favour after harm hath touched him, he saith: the ills have
departed from me; verily he becometh elated, boastful. |

11. |
Not so are those
who persevere and do righteous works. Those! theirs shall be
forgivness and a great hire. |

So hapoy thou
mayest abandon part of that hich hath been revealed unto thee, and
thy breast is straitened thereby, because they say: wherefore hath
not a treasure been sent down unto him, or an angel come with him!
Thou art but a warner, and of everything Allah is the Trustee. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Or say they:
he hath fabricated it? Say thou: bring ye then ten Surahs the like
thereunto fabricated, and call whomsoever ye can beside Allah, if
ye say sooth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Then if they
respond you not, know that it hath been sent down only with the Knowledge
of Allah, and that there is no god but he; are ye Muslims then? |
|

|
15. |
Whosoever desireth
the life of the world and the adornment thereof, We shall repay them
in full their works therein, and in it they shall not be defrauded. |

These are they
for whom there is not in the Hereafter save the Fire; to naught shall
come that which they have performed, and vain is that which they have
been working |

Is he like unto
him who resteth upon an evidence from His Lord, so and there rehearseth
it a witness from Him And before it was the Book of Musa, a pattern
and a mercy; these believe therein; and whosoever of the sects disbelieveth
therein, the Fire is his promised place. Be then thou not in dubitation
thereof, verily it is the truth from thy Lord, yet most of the mankind
believe not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And who doth
greater wrong than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah! these shall

who lied against their Lord. Lo! the curse of Allah shall fall on
the wrong-doers- |
|

Who hinder others
from the way of Allah and would seek crockedness therein, and they:

These could
not escape on the earth, nor could there be for them protectors against
Allah; doubled shall be the torment for them; they were notable to

These are they
who have lost their souls, and hath strayed from them that which they

|
22. |
Undoubtedly
they! in the Hereafter they shall be the greatest losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Verily those
who believed and worked righteous works and humbled themselves before
their Lord--they shall be the fellows of the Garden: therein they
shall be abiders. |

those who disbelieved among his people said: we behold thee except
as a human being like us, and we behold not any follow thee except
the meanest of us, by an immature opinion; nor We behold in

He said: bethink
ye, O my people! if I rested upon an evidence from my Lord, and a
mercy hath come unto me from Him, and that hath been obscured unto
you, Shall we make you adhere to it while ye are averse thereto? |
