بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

There is not a creature that moves on earth whose provision is not His concern. He knows where it lives and its [final] resting place: it is all [there] in a clear record.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six Days––His rule extends over the waters too––so as to test which of you does best. Yet [Prophet], if you say to them, ‘You will be resurrected after death,’ the disbelievers are sure to answer, ‘This is clearly nothing but sorcery.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If We defer their punishment for a determined time, they are sure to say, ‘What is holding it back?’ But on the Day it comes upon them, nothing will divert it from them; what they mocked will be all around them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

How desperate and ungrateful man becomes when We let him taste Our mercy and then withhold it!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

And if We let him taste mercy after some harm has touched him, he is sure to say, ‘Misfortune has gone away from me.’ He becomes exultant and boastful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Not so those who are steadfast and do good deeds: they will have forgiveness and a great reward.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

So [Prophet] are you going to abandon some part of what is revealed to you, and let your heart be oppressed by it, because they say, ‘Why is no treasure sent down to him? Why has no angel come with him?’? You are only there to warn; it is God who is in charge of everything.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If they say, ‘He has invented it himself,’ say, ‘Then produce ten invented suras like it, and call in whoever you can beside God, if you are truthful.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If they do not answer you, then you will all know that it is sent down containing knowledge from God, and that there is no god but Him. Then will you submit to Him?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If any desire [only] the life of this world with all its finery, We shall repay them in full in this life for their deeds- they will be given no less-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but such people will have nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire: their work here will be fruitless and their deeds futile.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Can they be compared to those who have clear proof from their Lord, recited by a witness from Him, and before it the Book of Moses, as a guide and mercy? These people believe in it, whereas those groups that deny its truth are promised the Fire. So have no doubt about it [Prophet]: it is the Truth from your Lord, though most people do not believe so.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Who could do more wrong than someone who invents lies about God? Such people will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, ‘These are the ones that lied about their Lord.’ God’s rejection is the due of those who do such wrong,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

who hinder others from God’s path, trying to make it crooked, and deny the life to come.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They will not escape on earth, and there will be no one other than God to protect them. Their punishment will be doubled. They could not hear, and they did not see.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is they who will have lost their souls, and what they invented will have deserted them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There is no doubt they will be the ones to lose most in the life to come.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But those who believed, did good deeds, and humbled themselves before their Lord will be companions in Paradise and there they will stay.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

These two groups are like the blind and the deaf as compared with those who can see and hear well: can they be alike? How can you not take heed?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We sent Noah to his people to say, ‘I have come to you to give a clear warning:
