بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

There are many angels in heaven whose intercession will be of no use until God gives permission to those He will, whose words He will accept.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those who deny the life to come give the angels female names.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They have no knowledge to base this on: they merely follow guesswork. Guesswork is of no value against the Truth.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

So [Prophet] ignore those who turn away from Our revelation, who want only the life of this world.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Their knowledge does not go beyond that. Your Lord knows best who strays from His path and who follows guidance.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. He will repay those who do evil according to their deeds, and reward, with what is best, those who do good.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

As for those who avoid grave sins and foul acts, though they may commit small sins, your Lord is ample in forgiveness. He has been aware of you from the time He produced you from the earth and from your hiding places in your mothers’ wombs, so do not assert your own goodness:He knows best who is mindful of Him.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Prophet], consider that man who turned away:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

he only gave a little and then he stopped.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Does he have knowledge of the Unseen? Can he see [the Hereafter]?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Has he not been told what was written in the Scriptures of Moses

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and of Abraham, who fulfilled his duty:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that no soul shall bear the burden of another;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that man will only have what he has worked towards;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that his labour will be seen

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and that in the end he will be repaid in full for it;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that the final goal is your Lord;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that it is He who makes people laugh and weep;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that it is He who gives death and life;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that He Himself created the two sexes, male and female,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

from an ejected drop of sperm;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that He will undertake the second Creation;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that it is He who gives wealth and possessions;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that He is the Lord of Sirius;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that it was He who destroyed, in their entirety, ancient 'Ad

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and Thamud,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and before them the people of Noah who were even more unjust and insolent;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

that it was He who brought down the ruined cities

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and enveloped them in the punishment He ordained for them?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Which then of your Lord’s blessings do you deny?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This is a warning just like the warnings sent in former times.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The imminent Hour draws near

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and only God can disclose it.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Do you [people] marvel at this?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Why do you laugh instead of weeping?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Why do you pay no heed?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Bow down before God and worship.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The Hour draws near; the moon is split in two.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Whenever the disbelievers see a sign, they turn away and say, ‘Same old sorcery!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They reject the truth and follow their own desires––everything is recorded––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

although warning tales that should have restrained them have come down to them––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

farreaching wisdom––but these warnings do not help:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

so [Prophet] turn away from them. On the Day the Summoner will summon them to a horrific event,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

eyes downcast, they will come out of their graves like swarming locusts

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

rushing towards the Summoner. The disbelievers will cry, ‘This is a stern day!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
