Behold!
We said to the angels: "Bow down unto Adam": they bowed
down except Iblis: he said "Shall I bow down to one whom You
did create from clay?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
He
said "See You? This is the one whom you have honored above me!
If You will but respite me to the Day of Judgment, I will surely bring
his descendants under my sway--all but a few!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
Allah
said: "Go your way; if any of them follow you, verily Hell will
be the recompense of you (all)--an
ample recompense. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
"Lead
to destruction those whom you can among them, with your
(seductive) voice, make assaults
on them with your cavalry and your infantry; mutually share with them
wealth and children; and make promises to them. But Satan promises
them nothing but deceit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
"As
for My servants, no authority shall you have over them." Enough
is your Lord for a Disposer of affairs. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
Your
Lord is He that makes the Ship go smoothly for you through the sea,
in order that you may seek of His Bounty. For He is unto you Most
Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
When
distress seizes you at sea, those that you call upon--besides Himself--leave
you in the lurch! But when He brings you back safe to land, you turn
away (from Him),
Most ungrateful is man! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
Do
you then feel secure that He will not cause you to be swallowed up
beneath the earth when you are on land, or that He will not send against
you a violent tornado (with
showers of stones) so that you
shall find no one to carry out your affairs for you? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
Or
do you feel secure that He will not send you back a second time to
sea and send against you a heavy gale to drown you because of your
ingratitude, so that you find no helper therein against Us? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
We
have honored the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land
and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred
on them special favors, above a great part of Our Creation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
One
day We shall call together all human beings with their
(respective) Imams: those who
are given their record in their right hand will read it (with
pleasure), and they will not
be dealt with unjustly in the least. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
But
those who were blind in this world, will be blind in the Hereafter,
and most astray from the Path. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
And
their purpose was to tempt you away from that which We had revealed
unto you, to substitute in Our name something quite different: (in
that case), behold! They would
certainly have made you (their)
friend! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
And
had We not given you strength you would nearly have inclined to them
a little. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
In
that case We should have made you taste an equal portion (of
punishment) in this life, and
an equal portion in death: and moreover you would have found none
to help you against Us! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
Their
purpose was to scare you off the land, in order to expel you; but
in that case they would not have stayed (therein)
after you, except for a little while. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
(This
was Our) way with the messengers
We sent before you: you will find no change in Our ways. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
Establish
regular prayers--at the sun's decline till the darkness of the night,
and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer and reading in
the morning carry their testimony. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
And
pray in the small watches of the morning: (it
would be) an additional prayer
(or spiritual profit)
for you: soon will your Lord raise you to a station of Praise and
Glory! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
Say:
"O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and
likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from
Your Presence an authority to aid (me)." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
And
say: "Truth has (now)
arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by
its nature) bound to perish," |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
We
send down (stage by stage)
in the Qur-an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe:
to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
Yet
when We bestow Our favors on human, he turns away and becomes remote
on his side (instead of coming
to Us), and when Evil seizes
him he gives himself up to despair! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
Say:
"Everyone acts according to his own disposition: but your Lord
knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
They
ask you concerning the Spirit (of
inspiration). Say: "The
Spirit (comes)
by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated
to you, (O men!)" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
If
it were Our Will, We could take away that which We have sent you by
inspiration: then would you find none to plead your affair in that
matter as against Us-- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
Except
for Mercy from your Lord: for His Bounty is to you (indeed)
great. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
Say:
‘If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce
the like of this Qur-an they could not produce the like thereof, even
if they backed up each other with help and support. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
And
We have explained to man, in this Qur-an, every kind of similitude:
yet the greater part of men refuse (to
receive it) except with ingratitude! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
They
say: ‘We shall not believe in you, until you cause spring to gush
forth, for us from the earth, |
|
