بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

God’s Judgement is coming, so do not ask to bring it on sooner. Glory be to Him! He is far above anything they join with Him!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He sends down angels with inspiration at His command, to whichever of His servants He chooses, to give [His] warning: ‘There is no god but Me, so beware of Me.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He created the heavens and earth for a true purpose, and He is far above whatever they join with Him!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He created man from a drop of fluid, and yet man openly challenges Him.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

And livestock––He created them too. You derive warmth and other benefits from them: you get food from them;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

you find beauty in them when you bring them home to rest and when you drive them out to pasture.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They carry your loads to lands you yourselves could not reach without great hardship––truly your Lord is kind and merciful––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

horses, mules, and donkeys for you to ride and use for show, and other things you know nothing about.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

God points out the right path, for some paths lead the wrong way: if He wished, He could guide you all.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is He who sends down water for you from the sky, from which comes a drink for you, and the shrubs that you feed to your animals.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

With it He grows for you grain, olives, palms, vines, and all kinds of other crops. There truly is a sign in this for those who reflect.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

By His command He has made the night and day, the sun, moon, and stars all of benefit to you. There truly are signs in this for those who use their reason.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He has made of benefit to you the many-coloured things He has multiplied on the earth. There truly are signs in this for those who take it to heart.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is He who made the sea of benefit to you: you eat fresh fish from it and bring out jewellery to wear; you see the ships cutting through its waves so that you may go in search of His bounty and give thanks.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He has made mountains stand firm on the earth, to prevent it shaking under you, and rivers and paths so that you may find your way,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and landmarks and stars to guide people.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Can He who creates be compared to one who cannot create? Why do you not take heed?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If you tried to count God’s blessings, you could never take them all in: He is truly most forgiving and most merciful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those they invoke beside God create nothing; they are themselves created.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They are dead, not living. They do not know when they will be raised up.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Your God is the One God. As for those who deny the life to come, their hearts refuse to admit the truth and they are arrogant.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There is no doubt that God knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He does not love the arrogant.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When they are asked, ‘What has your Lord sent down?’ they say, ‘Ancient fables.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

On the Day of Resurrection they will bear the full weight of their own burden, as well as some of the burden of those they misled with no true knowledge. How terrible their burden will be!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those who went before them also schemed, but God attacked the very foundations of what they built. The roof fell down on them: punishment came on them from unimagined directions.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

In the end, on the Day of Resurrection, He will shame them, saying, ‘Where are these “partners” of Mine on whose account you opposed [Me]?’ Those given knowledge will say, ‘Shame and misery on the disbelievers today!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those whose lives the angels take while they are wronging themselves will show submission: ‘We were doing no evil.’ ‘Yes you were: God knows fully everything that you have done,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

so enter the gates of Hell. There you will remain- the home of the arrogant is evil indeed.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
