Alif Lam Ra These are the verses of the Scripture, a Quran that makes things clear.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The disbelievers may well come to wish they had submitted to God,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

so [Prophet] leave them to eat and enjoy themselves. Let [false] hopes distract them: they will come to know.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Never have We destroyed a community that did not have a set time;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

no community can bring its time forward, nor delay it.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They say, ‘Receiver of this Quran! You are definitely mad.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you are telling the truth?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But We send down the angels only to bring justice and then these people will not be reprieved.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have sent down the Quran Ourself, and We Ourself will guard it. Even before you [Prophet],

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We sent messengers among the various communities of old,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but they mocked every single messenger that came to them:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

in this way We make the message slip through the hearts of evildoers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They will not believe in it. That was what happened with the peoples of long ago,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and even if We opened a gateway into Heaven for them and they rose through it, higher and higher,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

they would still say, ‘Our eyes are hallucinating. We are bewitched.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have set constellations up in the sky and made it beautiful for all to see,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and guarded it from every stoned satan:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

any eavesdropper will be pursued by a clearly visible flame.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

As for the earth, We have spread it out, set firm mountains on it, and made everything grow there in due balance.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have provided sustenance in it for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There is not a thing whose storehouses are not with Us. We send it down only according to a well-defined measure:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We send the winds to fertilize, and We bring down water from the sky for you to drink- you do not control its sources.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is We who give life and death; it is We who inherit [everything].

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We know exactly those of you who come first and those who come later.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], it is your Lord who will gather them all together: He is all wise, all knowing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We created man out of dried clay formed from dark mud-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

the jinn We created before, from the fire of scorching wind.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a mortal out of dried clay, formed from dark mud.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When I have fashioned him and breathed My spirit into him, bow down before him,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and the angels all did so.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But not Iblis: he refused to bow down like the others.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

God said, ‘Iblis, why did you not bow down like the others?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and he answered, ‘I will not bow to a mortal You created from dried clay, formed from dark mud.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘Get out of here!’ said God. ‘You are an outcast,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

rejected until the Day of Judgement.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Iblis said, ‘My Lord, give me respite until the Day when they are raised from the dead.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘You have respite,’ said God,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘until the Day of the Appointed Time.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Iblis then said to God, ‘Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lure mankind on earth and put them in the wrong,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

all except Your devoted servants.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

God said, ‘[Devotion] is a straight path to Me:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

you will have no power over My servants, only over the ones who go astray and follow you.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Hell is the promised place for all these,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

with seven gates, each gate having its allotted share of them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But the righteous will be in Gardens with springs-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

“Enter them in peace and safety!”––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and We shall remove any bitterness from their hearts: [they will be like] brothers, sitting on couches, face to face.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

No weariness will ever touch them there, nor will they ever be expelled.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
