and [all] faces will be humbled before the Living, Ever Watchful One. Those burdened with evil deeds will despair,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but whoever has done righteous deeds and believed need have no fear of injustice or deprivation.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:113

We have sent the Quran down in the Arabic tongue and given all kinds of warnings in it, so that they may beware or take heed-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:114

exalted be God, the one who is truly in control. [Prophet], do not rush to recite before the revelation is fully complete but say, ‘Lord, increase me in knowledge!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:115

We also commanded Adam before you, but he forgot and We found him lacking in constancy.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:116

When We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ they did. But Iblis refused,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:117

so We said, ‘Adam, this is your enemy, yours and your wife’s: do not let him drive you out of the garden and make you miserable.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

In the garden you will never go hungry, feel naked,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

be thirsty, or suffer the heat of the sun.’

But Satan whispered to Adam, saying, ‘Adam, shall I show you the tree of immortality and power that never decays?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:121

and they both ate from it. They became conscious of their nakedness and began to cover themselves with leaves from the garden. Adam disobeyed his Lord and was led astray-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:122

later his Lord brought him close, accepted his repentance, and guided him-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:123

God said, ‘Get out of the garden as each other’s enemy.’ Whoever follows My guidance, when it comes to you [people], will not go astray nor fall into misery,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:124

but whoever turns away from it will have a life of great hardship. We shall bring him blind to the Assembly on the Day of Resurrection

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:125

and he will say, ‘Lord, why did You bring me here blind? I was sighted before!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:126

God will say, ‘This is how it is: You ignored Our revelations when they came to you, so today you will be ignored.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:128

Do they not draw a lesson from the many generations We destroyed before them, through whose dwelling places they now walk? There truly are signs in this for anyone with understanding!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:129

If it were not for a preordained Word from your Lord [Prophet], they would already have been destroyed. Their time has been set,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:130

so [Prophet] be patient with what they say- celebrate the praise of your Lord, before the rising and setting of the sun, celebrate His praise during the night, and at the beginning and end of the day, so that you may find contentment-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:131

and do not gaze longingly at what We have given some of them to enjoy, the finery of this present life: We test them through this, but the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:132

Order your people to pray, and pray steadfastly yourself. We are not asking you to give Us provision;We provide for you, and the rewards of the Hereafter belong to the devout.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:133

The disbelievers say, ‘Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?’ Have they not been given clear proof confirming what was in the earlier scriptures?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:134

If We had destroyed them through punishment before this Messenger came, they would have said, ‘Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we could have followed Your revelations before we suffered humiliation and disgrace!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

20:135

[Prophet], say, ‘We are all waiting, so you carry on waiting: you will come to learn who has followed the even path, and been rightly guided.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
