Alif

Do
men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe,"
and that they will not be tested? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
We
did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who
are true from those who are false. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Do
those who practice evil think that they will get the better of us?
Evil is their judgment! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
For
those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in
the Hereafter, let them strive);
for the Term (appointed)
by Allah is surely coming: and He hears and knows (all
things). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
if any strive (with might and
main), they do so for their
own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all creation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Those
who believe and work righteous deeds--from them shall We blot out
all evil (that may be)
in them, and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
We
have enjoined on human kindness to parents: but if they (either
of them) strive (to
force) you to join with Me (in
worship) anything of which you
have no knowledge, obey them not. You have (all)
to return to Me, and I will tell you (the
truth) of all that you did. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And
those who believe and work righteous deeds--them shall We admit to
the company of the Righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Then
there are among men such as say "We believe in Allah"; but
when they suffer affliction in (the
cause of) Allah, they treat
men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of Allah! And if help comes
(to you)
from your Lord, they are sure to say, "We have (always)
been with you!" Does not Allah know best all that is in the hearts
of all Creation? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And
Allah most certainly knows those who believe, and as certainly those
who are Hypocrites. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And
the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Follow our path, and
we will bear (the consequences)
of your faults." Never in the least will they bear their faults:
in fact they are liars! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
They
will bear their own burdens, and (other)
burdens along with their own, and on the Day of Judgment they will
be called to account for their falsehoods. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
We
(once)
sent Noah to his people, and he tarried among them a thousand years
less fifty: but the Deluge overwhelmed them while they (persisted
in) sin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
But
We saved him and the Companions of the Ark, and We made the (Ark)
a Sign for all Peoples! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
(We also saved)
Abraham: Behold, he said to his people: "Serve Allah and fear
Him: that will be best for you--if you understand! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
"For
you do worship idols besides Allah, and you invent falsehood. The
things that you worship besides Allah have no power to give you sustenance:
then seek you sustenance from Allah, serve Him, and be grateful to
Him: to Him will be your return. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
"And
if you reject (the Message),
so did generations before you: and the duty of the messenger is only
to preach publicly (and clearly)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
See
they not how Allah originates creation, then repeats it: truly that
is easy for Allah. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Say:
"Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate creation:
so will Allah produce a later creation: for Allah has power over all
things. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
"He
punishes whom He pleases, and He grants mercy to whom He pleases,
and towards Him are you turned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
"Not
on earth nor in heaven will you be able (fleeing)
to frustrate (His Plan),
nor have you, besides , any protector or helper." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Those
who reject the Signs of Allah and the Meeting with Him (in
the Hereafter)--it is they who
shall despair of My mercy: it is they who will (suffer)
a most grievous Penalty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
So
naught was the answer of (Abraham's)
people except that they said: "Slay him or burn him." But
Allah did save him from the fire: verily in this are Signs for people
who believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And
He said: "For you, you have taken (for
worship) idols besides Allah,
out of mutual love and regard between yourselves in this life; but
on the Day of Judgment you shall disown each other and curse each
other: and your abode will be the Fire, and you shall have none to
help. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
But
Lut had faith in Him: he said: "I will leave home for the sake
of my Lord: for He is Exalted in Might, and Wise." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
We gave (Abraham)
Isaac and Jacob, and ordained among his progeny Prophethood and Revelation,
and We granted him his reward in this life; and he was in the Hereafter
(of the company)
of the Righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And
(remember)
Lut; behold, he said to his people: "You do commit lewdness,
such as no people in Creation (ever)
committed before you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
"Do
you indeed approach men, and cut off the highway?--and practice wickedness
(even)
in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they
said: "Bring us the Wrath of Allah if you tell the truth." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
He
said: "O my Lord! Help You me against people who do mischief!" |
