بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Say [Prophet], ‘I advise you to do one thing only: stand before God, in pairs or singly, and think: there is no sign of madness in your companion [the Prophet]- he is only warning you before severe suffering arrives.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘If I have asked you for any reward, you can keep it. It is God alone who will reward me: He is witness to everything.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘My Lord hurls the Truth down [before you]. He has full knowledge of all that is unseen.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘The Truth has come; falsehood is powerless.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘If I go astray, that is my loss, and if I am rightly guided, it is through what my Lord has revealed to me. He is all hearing, and ever near.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], if you could only see their terror! There will be no escape when they are seized from a nearby place;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

they will say, ‘Now we believe in it,’ but how can they reach it from such a distant place-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

they denied it all in the past, and threw conjecture from a faroff place-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

when a barrier has been placed between them and what they desire, just as was done with their kind before? They were deep in doubt and suspicion.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Praise be to God, Creator of the heavens and earth, who made angels messengers with two, three, four [pairs of] wings. He adds to creation as He will: God has power over everything.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

No one can withhold the blessing God opens up for people, nor can anyone but Him release whatever He withholds: He is the Almighty, the All Wise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

People, remember God’s grace towards you. Is there any creator other than God to give you sustenance from the heavens and earth? There is no god but Him. How can you be so deluded?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If they call you a liar [Prophet], many messengers before you were also called liars: it is to God that all things will be returned.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

People! God’s promise is true, so do not let the present life deceive you. Do not let the Deceiver deceive you about God:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Satan is your enemy––so treat him as an enemy––and invites his followers only to enter the blazing fire.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those who disbelieve will be punished severely; those who believe and do good deeds will be forgiven, and richly rewarded.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

What about those whose evil deeds are made alluring to them so that they think they are good? God leaves whoever He will to stray and guides whoever He will. [Prophet], do not waste your soul away with regret for them: God knows exactly what they do.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is God who sends forth the winds; they raise up the clouds; We drive them to a dead land and with them revive the earth after its death: such will be the Resurrection.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If anyone desires power, all power belongs to God; good words rise up to Him and He lifts up the righteous deed, but a severe torment awaits those who plot evil and their plotting will come to nothing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is God who created you from dust and later from a drop of fluid; then He made you into two sexes; no female conceives or gives birth without His knowledge; no person grows old or has his life cut short, except in accordance with a Record: all this is easy for God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The two bodies of water are not alike- one is palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, the other salty and bitter- yet from each you eat fresh fish and extract ornaments to wear, and in each you see the ships ploughing their course so that you may seek God’s bounty and be grateful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He makes the night merge into the day and the day into the night; He has subjected the sun and the moon- each runs for an appointed term. Such is God your Lord: all control belongs to Him. Those you invoke beside Him do not even control the skin of a date stone;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

if you call them they cannot hear you; if they could hear, they could not answer you; on the Day of Resurrection they will disown your idolatry. None can inform you [Prophet] like the One who is all aware.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
