بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

If God were to grant His plentiful provision to [all] His creatures, they would act insolently on earth, but He sends down in due measure whatever He will, for He is well aware of His servants and watchful over them:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

it is He who sends relief through rain after they have lost hope, and spreads His mercy far and wide. He is the Protector, Worthy of All Praise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and all the living creatures He has scattered throughout them: He has the power to gather them all together whenever He will.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Whatever misfortune befalls you [people], it is because of what your own hands have done- God forgives much-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

you cannot escape Him anywhere on earth: you have no protector or helper other than God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Among His signs are the ships, sailing like floating mountains:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

if He willed, He could bring the wind to a standstill and they would lie motionless on the surface of the sea- there truly are signs in this for anyone who is steadfast and thankful-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

or He could cause them to be wrecked on account of what their passengers have done- God pardons much-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

to let those who argue about Our messages know that there is no escape for them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

What you have been given is only the fleeting enjoyment of this world. Far better and more lasting is what God will give to those who believe and trust in their Lord;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

who shun great sins and gross indecencies; who forgive when they are angry;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

respond to their Lord; keep up the prayer; conduct their affairs by mutual consultation; give to others out of what We have provided for them;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and defend themselves when they are oppressed.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Let harm be requited by an equal harm, though anyone who forgives and puts things right will have his reward from God Himself––He does not like those who do wrong.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There is no cause to act against anyone who defends himself after being wronged,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but there is cause to act against those who oppress people and transgress in the land against all justice- they will have an agonizing torment-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

though if a person is patient and forgives, this is one of the greatest things.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Anyone God allows to stray will have no one else to protect him: you [Prophet] will see the wrongdoers, when they face the punishment, exclaiming, ‘Is there any way of going back?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

You will see them exposed to the Fire, abject in humiliation, glancing furtively, while those who believed exclaim, ‘The losers are the ones who have lost themselves and their people on the Day of Resurrection.’ Truly the evildoers will remain in lasting torment;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

they will have no allies to help them against God. There is no way [forward] for those God allows to stray.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

So [people] respond to your Lord before there comes a Day that cannot, against God’s will, be averted- you will have no refuge on that Day, and no possibility of denying [your sins].

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If they still turn away [remember that], We have not sent you [Prophet] to be their guardian: your only duty is to deliver the message. When We give man a taste of Our mercy, he rejoices in it, but if some harm befalls him on account of what he has done with his own hands, then he is ungrateful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

God has control of the heavens and the earth; He creates whatever He will- He grants female offspring to whoever He will, male to whoever He will,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Or both male and female, and He makes whoever He will barren: He is all knowing and all powerful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
