بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

We have honoured the children of Adam and carried them by land and sea; We have provided good sustenance for them and favoured them specially above many of those We have created.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

On the Day when We summon each community, along with its leader, those who are given their record in their right hand will read it [with pleasure]. But no one will be wronged in the least:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

those who were blind in this life will be blind in the Hereafter, and even further off the path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], the disbelievers tried to tempt you away from what We revealed to you, so that you would invent some other revelation and attribute it to Us and then they would have taken you as a friend.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If We had not made you stand firm, you would almost have inclined a little towards them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

In that case, We would have made you taste a double punishment in this life, and a double punishment after death and then you would have found no one to help you against Us.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They planned to scare you off the land, but they would not have lasted for more than a little while after you.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Such was Our way with the messengers We sent before you, and you will find no change in Our ways.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

So perform the regular prayers in the period from the time the sun is past its zenith till the darkness of the night, and [recite] the Quran at dawn- dawn recitation is always witnessed––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and dur-ing the night wake up and pray, as an extra offering of your own, so that your Lord may raise you to a [highly] praised status.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘My Lord, make me go in truthfully, and come out truthfully, and grant me supporting authority from You.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

And say, ‘The truth has come, and falsehood has passed away: falsehood is bound to pass away.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We send down the Quran as healing and mercy to those who believe; as for those who disbelieve, it only increases their loss.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When We favour man he turns arrogantly to one side, but when harm touches him, he falls into despair.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘Everyone does things their own way, but your Lord is fully aware of who follows the best-guided path.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], they ask you about the Spirit. Say, ‘The Spirit is part of my Lord’s domain. You have only been given a little knowledge.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If We pleased, We could take away what We have revealed to you- then you would find no one to plead for you against Us-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

if it were not for your Lord’s mercy: His favour to you has been truly great.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘Even if all mankind and jinn came together to produce something like this Quran, they could not produce anything like it, however much they helped each other.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

In this Quran, We have set out all kinds of examples for people, yet most of them persist in disbelieving.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They say, ‘We will not believe for you [Muhammad] until you make a spring gush out of the ground for us;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

or until you have a garden of date palms and vines, and make rivers pour through them;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

or make the sky fall on us in pieces, as you claimed will happen; or bring God and the angels before us face to face;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

or have a house made of gold; or ascend into the sky- even then, we will not believe in your ascension until you send a real book down for us to read.’ Say, ‘Glory be to my Lord! Am I anything but a mortal, a messenger?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The only thing that kept these people from believing, when guidance came to them, was that they said, ‘How could God have sent a human being as a messenger?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘If there were angels walking about on earth, feeling at home, We would have sent them an angel from Heaven as a messenger.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘God is witness enough between me and you. He knows and observes His servants well.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], anyone God guides is truly guided, and you will find no protector other than Him for anyone He leaves astray. On the Day of Resurrection We shall gather them, lying on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf. Hell will be their Home. Whenever the Fire goes down, We shall make it blaze more fiercely for them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This is what they will get for rejecting Our signs and saying, ‘What? When we are turned to bones and dust, how can we be raised in a new act of creation?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
