بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Whoever directs himself wholly to God and does good work has grasped the surest handhold, for the outcome of everything is with God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

As for those who refuse to do this, do not let their refusal sadden you [Prophet]- they will return to Us and We shall tell them what they have done: God knows all that hearts contain-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We let them enjoy themselves for a little while, but We shall drive them to a harsh torment.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If you ask them who created the heavens and earth, they are sure to say, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Praise belongs to God,’ but most of them do not understand.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. God is self-sufficient and worthy of all praise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If all the trees on earth were pens and all the seas, with seven more seas besides, [were ink,] still God’s words would not run out: God is almighty and all wise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Creating and resurrecting all of you is only like creating or resurrecting a single soul: God is all hearing and all seeing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], do you not see that God causes the night to merge into day and the day to merge into night; that He has subjected the sun and the moon, each to run its course for a stated term; that He is aware of everything you [people] do?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This is because God is the Truth, and what they invoke beside Him is false. He is the Most High, Most Great.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], do you not see that ships sail through the sea, by the grace of God, to show you [people] some of His wonders? Truly there are signs in this for every steadfast, thankful person.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When the waves loom over those on board like giant shadows they call out to God, devoting their religion entirely to Him. But, when He has delivered them safely to land, some of them waver- only a treacherous, thankless person refuses to acknowledge Our signs.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

People, be mindful of your Lord and fear a day when no parent will take the place of their child, nor a child take the place of their parent, in any way. God’s promise is true, so do not let the present life delude you, nor let the Deceiver delude you about God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Knowledge of the Hour [of Resurrection] belongs to God; it is He who sends down the relieving rain and He who knows what is hidden in the womb. No soul knows what it will reap tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die; it is God who is all knowing and all aware.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Alif Lam Mim

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This scripture, free from all doubt, has been sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Yet they say, ‘Muhammad has made it up.’ No indeed! It is the Truth from your Lord for you [Prophet], to warn a people who have had no one to warn them before, so that they may be guided.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is God who created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six Days. Then He established Himself on the Throne. You [people] have no one but Him to protect you and no one to intercede for you, so why do you not take heed?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He runs everything, from the heavens to the earth, and everything will ascend to Him in the end, on a Day that will measure a thousand years in your reckoning.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Such is He who knows all that is unseen as well as what is seen, the Almighty, the Merciful,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

who gave everything its perfect form. He first created man from clay,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

then made his descendants from an extract of underrated fluid.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Then He moulded him; He breathed from His Spirit into him; He gave you hearing, sight, and minds. How seldom you are grateful!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They say, ‘What? When we have disappeared into the earth, shall we really be created anew?’ In fact, they deny the meeting with their Lord.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
