CHAPTER 32.  ADORATION                                                              SECTION 1.  PART XX1

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  I, GOD, AM THE BEST KNOWER

2  THIS REVELATION IS FROM GOD, THE CREATOR 
IT IS THE BOOK THAT MAKE THINGS CLEAR

3   OR DO THEY SAY HE IS A FORGER?  
NO, IT IS THE TRUTH FROM YOUR LORD AND CHERISHER 
THAT WITH IT YOU MAY WARN PEOPLE TO WHOM NO WARNER 
HAS EVER COME BEFORE YOU PRIOR
SO THEY MAY RECEIVE GUIDANCE CLEAR

4  IT IS GOD WHO HAS CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH SOLELY
AND ALL BETWEEN THEM IN SIX DAYS AND HE IS FIRMLY
ESTABLISHED ON THE THRONE OF AUTHORITY 

BESIDES HIM YOU HAVE NONE FOR PROTECTION 
WILL YOU NOT THEN RECEIVE ADMONITION?

5  HE RULES FROM THE HEAVENS TO THE EARTH ALL AFFAIRS 
AND IN THE END WILL GO UP TO HIM ALL AFFAIRS 
ON A DAY THE SPACE WHICH WILL BE FOR SURE
AS A THOUSAND YEARS IN TERMS OF YOUR MEASURE

6  OF ALL THINGS HIDDEN AND OPEN HE IS THE KNOWER
HE IS THE MERCIFUL, THE EXALTED IN POWER

7  HE MADE EVERYTHING HE CREATED GOOD AND HE BEGAN 
WITH NOTHING MORE THAN CLAY, THE CREATION OF MAN

8  AND MADE HIS PROGENY FROM A QUINTESSENCE OF THE NATURE 
OF AN EXTRACT OF WORTHLESS WATER

9  THEN IN DUE PROPORTION WAS HIS FASHIONING 
HE BREATHED HIS SPIRIT INTO HIM GIVING HIM HEARING
AND SIGHT AND FEELING AND UNDERSTANDING 
AND LITTLE ARE THE THANKS YOU ARE GIVING

10  AND THEY SAY, WHEN WE LIE LOST AND HIDDEN IN THE EARTH
WILL WE BE RENEWED INTO A NEW CREATURE? 
SURELY THEY ARE DISBELIEVERS
IN THE MEETING WITH THEIR LORD IN THE HEREAFTER

11  SAY, THE ANGEL OF DEATH PUT IN CHARGE OF YOU WILL DULY 
TAKE YOUR SOULS, THEN YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO GOD SURELY

398
CHAPTER 32.  ADORATION                                                             SECTION 2.  PART XX1

12  IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE WHEN THE GUILTY 
WILL BEND THEIR HEADS BEFORE THEIR LORD LOWLY
SAYING, PLEASE OUR LORD, NOW WE HEAR AND SEE CLEARLY
THEN SEND US BACK TO THE WORLD AND WE WILL SURELY
WORK RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR WE DO NOW BELIEVE TRULY 

13  IF WE HAD SO WILLED WE COULD HAVE CERTAINLY 
BROUGHT EVERY SOUL ITS TRUE GUIDANCE EASILY
BUT THE WORD WILL COME TRUE FROM ME 

THAT I WILL FILL THE HELL FIRE
WITH DEMONS AND MEN ALL TOGETHER

14  YOU FORGOT THE MEETING OF THIS DAY OF YOURS CARELESSLY
AND WE WILL FORGET YOU TOO SO TASTE THE PENALTY 
FOR YOUR EVIL DEEDS ETERNALLY

15  THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN OUR REVELATIONS
WHEN THEY HEAR THEIR RECITATIONS 
THEY FALL DOWN IN ADORATION
AND PRAISE THEIR LORD IN CELEBRATION 
NOR ARE THEY EVER PUFFED UP WITH REBELLION

16  THEIR LIMBS DO FORSAKE THEIR BEDS FROM SLEEPING
WHILE THEY CALL ON GOD IN FEAR AND IN HOPING
AND THEY ARE CHARITABLE IN THEIR SPENDING

17  NOW TO NO PERSON IS KNOWN TO THEM
WHAT DELIGHTS OF THE EYES ARE NOT SHOWN TO THEM 
BUT ARE KEPT HIDDEN FROM THEM IN RESERVE FOR THEM
AS A REWARD FOR THEIR GOOD DEEDS FROM GOD FOR THEM

18  IS THEN THE MAN WHO BELIEVES IN HIS LORD NO BETTER 
THAN THE MAN WHO IS A REBELLIOUS TRANSGRESSOR? 
NO, THEY ARE NOT EQUAL IN MEASURE

19  FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS 
ARE GARDENS AS HOSPITABLE HOMES FOR THEIR DEEDS

20  THE FIRE WILL BE THE HOME FOR THE REBELLIOUS AND WICKED
AND EVERY TIME THEY WISH TO GET AWAY FROM IT 
THEY WILL BE FORCED BACK IN TO IT 
IT WILL BE SAID TO THEM, HERE IS THE PENALTY TASTE IT
THIS IS THE FIRE WHICH YOU FALSELY REJECTED

21  AND WE WILL MAKE THEM TASTE OF THE PENALTY 
IN THIS LIFE PRIOR TO THE SUPREME PENALTY 
SO THAT THEY MAY REPENT HOPEFULLY

22  AND TO THOSE WHO GOD'S MESSAGES ARE RECITED TO THEM  
WHO IS MORE WRONG THEN HE TURNS AWAY FROM THEM
THOSE IN TRANSGRESSION WE WILL PUNISH THEM 

399
CHAPTER 32.  ADORATION                                                               SECTION 3.  PART XX1

23  WE GAVE THE BOOK TO MOSES BEFORE YOU 
THEREFORE BE NOT IN DOUBT OF ITS REACHING YOU 
WE MADE IT A GUIDE TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN TRUTH

24  WE APPOINTED FROM AMONG THEM LEADERS
GIVING GUIDANCE UNDER OUR ORDERS
SO LONG AS THEY PATIENTLY PERSEVERED 
AND CONTINUED BEING GRATEFUL FOR OUR FAVORS

25  YOUR LORD WILL JUDGE BETWEEN THEM IN THE MATTERS
ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT WHEREIN THEY DIFFER

26  DOES IT NOT TEACH THEM A LESSON 
JUST HOW MANY GENERATIONS 
WE DESTROYED BEFORE THEM IN WHOSE HABITATIONS
THEY NOW GO TO AND FRO IN 
SURELY IN THIS ARE SIGNS, DO THEY NOT LISTEN?

27  AND DO THEY NOT SEE THAT WE DRIVE RAIN 
TO PARCHED SOIL BARE OF HERBAGE AND PRODUCE WITH IT GRAIN 

FOR THEIR CATTLE AND THEMSELVES FOR NUTRITION?
HAVE THEY ABSOLUTELY NO VISION?

28  THEY SAY, WHEN WILL THIS DECISION BE 
IF YOU ARE ACTING TRUTHFULLY?

29  SAY, ON THE DAY OF DECISION OF NO PROFIT WILL IT BE 
TO THE DISBELIEVERS IF THEY THEN BELIEVE 
NOR ANY RESPITE WILL THEY RECEIVE

30  SO TURN AWAY FROM THEM AND WAIT 
THEY TOO ARE OF THOSE WHO WAIT
