Speak
to My servants who have believed, that they may establish regular
prayers, and spend (in charity)
out of the Sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly, before
the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining
nor befriending. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
32. |
It
is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down
rain from the skies, and with it brings out fruits wherewith to feed
you: it is He who has made the ships subject to you that they may
sail through the sea by His Command; and the rivers (also)
has He made subject to you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
33. |
And
He has made subject to you the sun and the moon, both diligently pursuing
their courses: and the Night and the Day has He (also)
made subject to you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
34. |
And
He gives you of all that you ask for. But if you count the favors
of Allah, never will you be able to number them: verily, human is
given up to injustice and ingratitude. |
|
|
|

Remember
Abraham said: "O my Lord! Make this city one of peace and security:
and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 36. |
"O
my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind; he then who
follows my (ways)
is of me, and he that disobeys me--but You are indeed Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
37. |
"O
our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without
cultivation, by Your Sacred House; in order, O our Lord, that they
may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among men
with love towards them, and feed them with Fruits: so that they may
give thanks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
38. |
"O
our Lord! Truly You do know what we conceal and what we reveal: for
nothing whatever is hidden from Allah, whether on earth or in heaven. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 39. |
"Praise
be to Allah. Who has granted unto me in old age Isma'il and Isaac:
for truly my Lord is He the Hearer of Prayer! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 40. |
"O
my Lord! Make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise
such) among my offspring O our
Lord! and accept You my Prayer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
41. |
"O
our Lord! Cover (us)
with Your Forgiveness--me, my parents, and (all)
Believers, on the Day that the Reckoning will be established!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
42. |
Think
not that Allah does not heed the deeds of those who do wrong. He but
gives them respite against a Day when the eyes will fixedly stare
in horror-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 43. |
They
are running forward with necks outstretched, their heads uplifted,
their gaze returning not towards them, and their hearts a
(gaping) void! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
44. |
So
warn mankind of the Day when the Wrath will reach them: then will
the wrongdoers say: "Our Lord! Respite us (if
only) for a short Term: we will
answer Your Call, and follow the messengers!" "What! Were
you not wont to swear aforetime that you should suffer no decline? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
45. |
"And
you dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged their own souls; you
were clearly shown how We dealt with them; and We put forth many Parables
in your behalf!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
46. |
Mighty
indeed were the plots which they made, but their plots were
(well) within the sight of Allah,
even though they were such as to shake the hills! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 47. |
Never
think that Allah would fail His messengers in His promise: for Allah
is Exalted in Power--the Lord of Retribution. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
48. |
One
day the Earth will be changed to a different Earth, and so will be
the Heavens, and (men)
will be marshaled forth, before Allah, the One, the Irresistible; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 49. |
And
you will see the Sinners that day bound together in fetters-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 50. |
Their
garments of liquid pitch, and their faces covered with Fire; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
51. |
That
Allah may requite each soul according to its deserts; and verily Allah
is Swift in calling to account. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
52. |
Here
is a Message for mankind: let them take warning therefrom, and let
them know that He is (no other
than) One Allah: let men of
understanding take heed. |
