M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Lord! Give them a double punishment and reject them completely.’

We offered the Trust to the heavens, the earth, and the mountains, yet they refused to undertake it and were afraid of it; mankind undertook it- they have always been inept and foolish.

Still, the disbelievers say, ‘The Last Hour will never come upon us.’ Say, ‘Yes, by my Lord, [it will], by Him who knows the unseen! Not even the weight of a speck of dust in the heavens or earth escapes His knowledge, nor anything smaller or greater. It is all recorded in a clear Record

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

so that He can reward those who believe and do good deeds: they will have forgiveness and generous provision.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Has he invented a lie about God? Is he mad?’ No! It is those who do not believe in the life to come who will suffer torment, for they are in gross error.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
