بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

but there came after them generations who neglected prayer and were driven by their own desires. These will come face to face with their evil,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but those who repent, who believe, who do righteous deeds, will enter Paradise. They will not be wronged in the least:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

they will enter the Gardens of Lasting Bliss, promised by the Lord of Mercy to His servants- it is not yet seen but truly His promise will be fulfilled.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There they will hear only peaceful talk, nothing bad; there they will be given provision morning and evening.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

That is the Garden We shall give as their own to those of Our servants who were devout.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Gabriel said],‘We only descend [with revelation] at your Lord’s command––everything before us, everything behind us, everything in between, all belongs to Him––your Lord is never forgetful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He is Lord of the heavens and earth and everything in between so worship Him: be steadfast in worshipping Him. Do you know of anyone equal to Him?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Man says, ‘What? Once I am dead, will I be brought back to life?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but does man not remember that We created him when he was nothing before?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

By your Lord [Prophet] We shall gather them and the devils together and set them on their knees around Hell;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We shall seize out of each group those who were most disobedient towards the Lord of Mercy-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We know best who most deserves to burn in Hell-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but every single one of you will approach it, a decree from your Lord which must be fulfilled.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We shall save the devout and leave the evildoers there on their knees.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When Our revelations are recited to them in all their clarity, [all that] the disbelievers say to the believers [is], ‘Which side is better situated? Which side has the better following?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have destroyed many a generation before them who surpassed them in riches and outward glitter!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say [Prophet], ‘The Lord of Mercy lengthens [the lives] of the misguided, until, when they are confronted with what they have been warned about- either the punishment [in this life] or the Hour [of Judgement]- they realize who is worse situated and who has the weakest forces.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But God gives more guidance to those who are guided, and good deeds of lasting merit are best and most rewarding in your Lord’s sight.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Have you considered the man who rejects Our revelation, who says, ‘I will certainly be given wealth and children’?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Has he penetrated the unknown or received a pledge to that effect from the Lord of Mercy?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

No! We shall certainly record what he says and prolong his punishment:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We shall inherit from him all that he speaks of and he will come to Us all alone.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They have taken other gods beside God to give them strength,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but these gods will reject their worship and will even turn against them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Have you [Prophet] not seen how We send devils to incite the disbelievers to sin?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There is no need for you to be impatient concerning them: We are counting down their [allotted] time.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

On the Day We gather the righteous as an honoured company before the Lord of Mercy

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and drive the sinful like a thirsty herd into Hell,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

no one will have power to intercede except for those who have permission from the Lord of Mercy.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The disbelievers say, ‘The Lord of Mercy has offspring.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

How terrible is this thing you assert:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

it almost causes the heavens to be torn apart, the earth to split asunder, the mountains to crumble to pieces,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that they attribute offspring to the Lord of Mercy.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It does not befit the Lord of Mercy [to have offspring]:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

there is no one in the heavens or earth who will not come to the Lord of Mercy as a servant-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He has counted them all: He has numbered them exactly-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and they will each return to Him on the Day of Resurrection all alone.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But the Lord of Mercy will give love to those who believe and do righteous deeds:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have made it easy, in your own language [Prophet], so that you may bring glad news to the righteous and warnings to a stubborn people.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

How many generations We have destroyed before them! Do you perceive a single one of them now, or hear as much as a whisper?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
