And
We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake
with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between
mountains) for them to pass
through: that they may receive guidance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
32. |
And
We have made the heavens as a canopy well-guarded: yet do they turn
away from the Signs which these things (point
to)! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
33. |
It
is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon:
all (the celestial bodies)
swim along, each in its rounded course |
|
|
|
|
|
|
34. |
We
granted not to any human before you permanent life (here):
if then you should die, would they live permanently? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
35. |
Every
soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good
by way of trial: to Us must you return. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 36. |
When
the Unbelievers see you, they treat you not except with ridicule.
"Is this," (they
say), "the one who talks
of your gods?" And they blaspheme at the mention of (Allah)
Most Gracious! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
37. |
Man
is a creature of haste: soon (enough)
will I show you My Signs: then you will not ask Me to hasten them! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
38. |
They
say: "When will this promise come to pass, if you are telling
the truth?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 39. |
If
only the Unbelievers knew (the
time) when they will not be
able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs,
and (when)
no help can reach them! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 40. |
Nay,
it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them: no power will
they have then to avert it, nor will they (then)
get respite. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
41. |
Mocked
were (many)
messengers before you; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing
that they mocked |
|
|
|
|
|
|
42. |
Say:
"Who can keep you safe by night and by day from (the
Wrath of) (Allah) Most Gracious?"
Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord |
|
|
|
|
|
| 43. |
Or
have they gods that can guard them from Us? They have no power to
aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
44. |
Nay,
We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers
until the period grew long for them; see they not that we gradually
reduce the land (in their control)
from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
45. |
Say,
"I do but warn you according to revelation"; but the deaf
will not hear the call, (even)
when they are warned! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
46. |
If
but a breath of the Wrath of your Lord do touch them, they will then
say, "Woe to us! we did wrong indeed!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 47. |
We
shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not
a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least. And if there be (no
more than) the weight of a mustard
seed, We will bring it (to
account): and enough are We
to take account. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
48. |
In
the past We granted to Moses and Aaron the Criterion (for
judgment), and a Light and a
Message for those who would do right-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 49. |
Those
who fear their Lord in their most secret thoughts, and who hold the
Hour (of Judgment)
in awe. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 50. |
And
this is a blessed Message which We have sent down: will you then reject
it? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
51. |
We
bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and well were
We acquainted with him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
52. |
Behold!
He said to his father and his people, "What are these images,
to which you are (so assiduously)
devoted?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 53. |
They
said, "We found our father worshipping them." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
54. |
He
said, "Indeed you have been in manifest error--you and your fathers." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
55. |
They
said, "Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those
who jest?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
56. |
He
said, "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth
He Who created them (from nothing):
and I am a witness to this
(truth). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
57. |
"And
by Allah, I have a plan for your idols--after you go away and turn
your backs"… |
|
|
|
|
|
|
58. |
So
he broke them to pieces, (all)
but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and
address themselves) to it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
59. |
They
said, "Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be some
man of impiety!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 60. |
They
said, "We heard a youth talk of them: he is called Abraham." |
