CHAPTER 39.  THE CROWDS                                                        SECTION 4.  PART XXIV

PART XXIV

32  AND WHO THEN DOES MORE WRONG THAN ONE WHO UTTERS
A LIE ABOUT GOD AND WHEN TRUTH COMES IS A REJECTER? 
IS THERE NOT IN HELL A HOME FOR BLASPHEMERS?

33  BUT THEN HE WHO BRINGS THE TRUTH 
AND HE WHO CONFIRMS THE TRUTH
THESE ARE THE MEN OF TRUTH

34  THEY WILL HAVE ALL THAT THEY WISH FOR FROM THEIR LORD 
FOR THOSE WHO DO GOOD THIS IS THEIR REWARD

35  GOD WILL TURN OFF FROM THEM THE WORST IN THEIR DEEDS 
AND REWARD THEM ACCORDING TO THE BEST OF THEIR DEEDS

36  SUFFICIENT FOR HIS SERVANTS IS GOD 
BUT THEY TRY TO FRIGHTEN YOU WITH OTHERS BESIDES GOD
FOR THOSE WHO ARE LEFT TO STRAY BY GOD
NO ONE CAN GUIDE THEM TO THE WAY EXCEPT GOD

37  THOSE WHO GOD GUIDES NONE CAN LEAD ASTRAY
GOD IS EXALTED IN POWER AND LORD OF WAYS

38  IF YOU ASK THEM WHO CREATED THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS?  
THEY WOULD SAY, GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF ALL CREATION

SEE THE THINGS YOU INVOKE BESIDES GOD IN DIETY 
CAN THEY IF GOD WILLS FOR ME SOME PENALTY 
WHO CAN REMOVE FROM ME HIS PENALTY?
OR IF HE WILLS SOME GRACE FOR ME 
CAN THEY KEEP BACK HIS GRACE FROM ME?
SAY, SUFFICIENT IS GOD'S GRACE FOR ME 
AND IN HIM TRUST THOSE WHO BELIEVE

39  SAY, OH MY PEOPLE, DO WHATEVER YOU CAN
AND I TOO WILL DO WHATEVER IN CAN 

40  SOON WILL YOU KNOW SURELY 
TO WHOM COMES A PENALTY OF IGNOMINY 
AND ON WHOM DESCENDS AN ABIDING PENALTY

41  WE HAVE REVEALED THE BOOK FOR MAN'S INSTRUCTION
HE WHO RECEIVES GUIDANCE BENEFITS HIS OWN PERSON
BUT HE THAT STRAYS AWAY INJURES HIS OWN PERSON
NOR ARE YOU A DISPOSER OF AFFAIRS OF ANY ONE

449
CHAPTER 39.  THE CROWDS                                                        SECTION 5.  PART XXIV

42  IT IS GOD THAT TAKES MEN'S SOULS AT THE DEATH DECREE
AND THERE ARE THOSE THAT HE TAKES DURING THEIR SLEEP
AND THOSE ON WHOM HE HAS PASSED THE DEATH DECREE 
HE KEEPS THEM BACK FROM RETURNING TO THEIR BODIES 
BUT THE REST HE SENDS BACK TO THEIR BODIES 
FOR A TERM APPOINTED DECISIVELY 
IN THIS ARE SIGNS FOR THOSE WHO THINK DEEPLY

43  DO THEY TAKE OTHERS BESIDES GOD FOR INTERCESSORS
EVEN IF THEY HAVE NO INTELLIGENCE AND NO POWER? 

44  SAY, TO GOD BELONGS THE RIGHT TO GRANT INTERCESSION 
TO HIM BELONGS THE DOMINION OF EARTH AND HEAVEN 
AND YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO HIM IN THE END

45  AND WHEN THE NAME OF GOD, THE ONE AND ONLY IS UTTERED
THE DISBELIEVERS IN THE HEREAFTER ARE FILLED WITH HORROR
WHEN OTHER GODS OTHER THAN HIM ARE UTTERED 
THEN THEY ARE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER

46  SAY, OH GOD, CREATOR OF THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS 
AND THE KNOWER OF ALL THAT IS HIDDEN AND OPEN 

IT IS YOU THAT WILL JUDGE BETWEEN YOUR SERVANTS IN MATTERS 
ABOUT THOSE THINGS IN WHICH THEY DIFFER

47  IF THE WRONG DOERS HAD ALL ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN 
IN VAIN WOULD THEY OFFER IT FOR RANSOM

FROM THE PAIN OF THE PUNISHMENT 
ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT 

BUT THEY WILL BE CONFRONTED FROM GOD WITH SOMETHING  
OF WHICH THEY HAD NOT BEEN RECKONING

48  THEY WILL BE CONFRONTED FOR THE EVILS OF THEIR DEEDS 
AND THEY WILL BE COMPLETELY ENCIRCLED INDEED
BY THAT OF WHICH THEY USED TO MAKE MOCKERY

49  NOW WHEN TROUBLE TOUCHES MAN HE CRIES TO US 
BUT WHEN WE BESTOW A FAVOR UPON HIM FROM US
 
THEN HE SAYS, I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS
BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE I POSSESS
NAY, BUT THIS IS BUT ONLY A TEST
BUT MOST OF THEM DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS

50  SO SAID THE GENERATIONS BEFORE THEM 
BUT ALL THAT THEY DID WAS OF NO PROFIT TO THEM

51  THE EVIL RESULTS OF THEIR DEEDS OVERTOOK THEM 
AND THE WRONG DOERS OF THIS GENERATION FOR THEM
THE EVIL RESULTS OF THEIR DEEDS WILL OVERTAKE THEM 
AND OUR PLANS THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FRUSTRATE THEM

52  KNOW THEY NOT THAT GOD ENLARGES 
THE PROVISION OR RESTRICTS IT FOR ANY HE PLEASES? 
IN THIS ARE SIGNS FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN OUR MESSAGES

450
CHAPTER 39.  THE CROWDS                                                        SECTION 6.  PART XXIV

53  SAY, OH MY SERVANTS WHO HAVE COMMITTED INIQUITIES
DO NOT DESPAIR OF GOD'S MERCIES 
FOR GOD FORGIVES ALL SINS MERCIFULLY
AND GOD IS FULL OF FORGIVENESS AND MERCY

54  TURN TO YOUR LORD IN REPENTANCE QUICKLY 
AND BOW TO HIS WILL BEFORE BEFALLS YOU THE PENALTY 
AFTER THAT THERE WILL BE NO AMNESTY

55  AND FOLLOW THE BEST COURSE REVEALED TO YOU 
BEFORE THE PENALTY SUDDENLY COMES UPON YOU 
WHILE NOT BEING PERCEIVED BY YOU 

56  OR ELSE THE SOUL WOULD SAY REGRETFULLY 
WOE IS ME IN THAT I NEGLECTED MY DUTY 
AND WAS AMONG THOSE WHO MADE MOCKERY

57  OR ELSE IT WOULD SAY, IF ONLY GOD HAD GUIDED ME 
I WOULD HAVE BEEN AMONG THOSE WHO LIVED RIGHTEOUSLY

58  OR ELSE IT WOULD SAY WHEN IT ACTUALLY SEES THE PENALTY 
IF ONLY I HAD ANOTHER CHANCE THEN I WOULD SURELY
BE AMONG THOSE WHO DO GOOD CONSTANTLY

59  THE REPLY WILL BE, NO, BUT MY INSTRUCTIONS
CAME TO YOU AND YOU WERE IN REJECTION
AND YOU BECAME DISBELIEVING ONES

60  AND ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION YOU WILL SEE
THOSE WHO LIED AGAINST GOD THEIR FACES WILL BE GLOOMY
IS THERE NOT IN HELL A HOME FOR THOSE WHO ACT ARROGANTLY?

61  BUT THE RIGHTEOUS GOD WILL DELIVER THEM
TO SALVATION, NO EVIL WILL TOUCH THEM 
NOR WILL THERE BE ANY GRIEF FOR THEM

62  OF ALL THINGS GOD IS THE CREATOR 
AND HE IS THE GUARDIAN OF ALL AFFAIRS  

63  OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH TO HIM BELONG THE KEYS
AND THOSE WHO REJECT GOD'S MESSAGES IT IS THESE
WHO WILL SURELY BE IN LOSS INDEED

451
CHAPTER 39.  THE CROWDS                                                        SECTION 7.  PART XXIV

64  SAY, IS IT SOME ONE OTHER THAN MY LORD AND CHERISHER
THAT YOU ORDER ME TO WORSHIP YOU IGNORANT REJECTERS?

65  BUT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REVEALED TO YOU 
AS IT WAS REVEALED TO THOSE BEFORE YOU 
IF OTHER GODS BESIDES GOD ARE WORSHIPPED BY YOU
YOUR WORKS IN THIS LIFE WILL BEAR NO FRUIT
AND YOU WOULD BE ONES WHO LOSE 

66  NO, BUT WORSHIP GOD AND BE TRULY
ONE OF THOSE WHO ACT GRATEFULLY

67  THEY UNDERESTIMATE GOD INDEED 
AND ON JUDGMENT DAY THE EARTH WILL BE 
BUT HIS HANDFUL AND THE HEAVENS WILL BE 
ROLLED UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND, TO HIM BE THE GLORY 
EXALTED ABOVE THE PARTNERS THEY ATTRIBUTE TO HIM IS HE

68  THE TRUMPET WILL JUST BE SOUNDED 
WHEN ALL ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN WILL BE ROUNDED
EXCEPT THOSE WHO GOD WILLS TO BE EXEMPTED
THEN WILL A SECOND ONE BE SOUNDED
WHEN THEY WILL BE LOOKING ON DUMBFOUNDED

69  THE EARTH WILL SHINE WITH ITS LORD'S GLORY 
PLACED OPEN WILL BE THE RECORD OF DEEDS 
BROUGHT FORWARD THE PROPHETS WILL BE
AND THE WITNESSES AND A DECISION WILL BE JUSTLY

70  EVERY SOUL WILL BE PAID IN FULL THE FRUITS OF ITS DEEDS 
AND GOD KNOWS BEST ALL THAT THEY DO INDEED

452
CHAPTER 39.  THE CROWDS                                                        SECTION 8.  PART XXIV

71  AND LED TO HELL IN CROWDS WILL BE THE DISBELIEVERS
UNTIL THEY ARRIVE AND ITS GATES OPEN AND ITS KEEPERS 
WILL SAY, DID NOT COME FROM AMONG YOU MESSENGERS
RECITING TO YOU CLEAR MESSAGES FROM YOUR CREATOR
WARNING YOU OF THE MEETING OF THIS DAY OF YOURS?  
THEY WILL SAY, TRUE AND FOR THE DISBELIEVERS 
THE DECREE HAS BEEN PROVED TRUE FOR SURE

72  TO THEM WILL BE SAID, ENTER THE GATES OF HELL 
AND EVIL IS THIS HOME FOR THE ARROGANT TO DWELL

73  AND LED TO THE GARDEN IN CROWDS WILL BE THE BELIEVERS
UNTIL THEY ARRIVE AND ITS GATES OPEN AND ITS KEEPERS 
WILL SAY, PEACE BE UPON YOU, YOU ARE IN GOOD FAVOR
SO ENTER HERE TO DWELL IN PARADISE FOREVER

74  THEY WILL SAY, PRAISE GOD WHO HAS FULFILLED HIS COVENANT   
AND HAS GIVEN TO US THIS LAND IN INHERITANCE 
THAT WE CAN DWELL IN THE GARDEN IN EXCELLENCE
A MAGNIFICENT REWARD FOR THOSE WHO ARE HIS SERVANTS

75  YOU WILL SEE THE ANGELS SURROUNDING THE PLACE OF HONOR 
DIVINE ON ALL SIDES SINGING GLORY TO THE CREATOR
THE DECIDING BETWEEN THEM AT JUDGMENT WILL BE FAIR
AND THE CRY ON ALL SIDES WILL BE, PRAISE BE TO OUR MAKER

453
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 1.  PART XXIV

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  BENEFICENT GOD

2  THE REVELATION OF THIS BOOK IS FROM GOD
HIGHLY EXALTED AND FULL OF KNOWLEDGE IS GOD

3  WHO ACCEPTS REPENTANCE AND FORGIVES INIQUITY
AND IS STRICT IN PENALTY, THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE 
AND TO HIM IS THE FINAL DESTINY

4  NONE DENY GOD'S MESSAGES BUT THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE
LET NOT THEIR CONTROL IN THE LAND CAUSE YOU TO BE DECEIVED

5  BEFORE THEM SIGNS WERE DENIED BY PEOPLE
NOAH'S PEOPLE AND THE CONFEDERATES OF EVIL  
AND EVERY PEOPLE PLOTTED AGAINST THEIR APOSTLE

TO SEIZE HIM AND THEY DISPUTED ONLY BY MEANS OF VANITIES 
TO CONDEMN THE TRUTH BUT IT WAS THEM THAT I SEIZED 
AND HOW TERRIBLE WAS MY REQUITAL INDEED

6  GOD'S DECREE PROVED TRUE AGAINST THE DISBELIEVERS 
THAT THEY ARE TRULY COMPANIONS OF THE FIRE

7  THOSE WHO SUSTAIN THE THRONE OF GOD'S MAJESTY 
AND THOSE AROUND IT SING HIS PRAISES AND GLORY 
THEY ASK FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE
OUR LORD, YOUR REACH IS OVER ALL THINGS IN MERCY
FORGIVE THOSE WHO REPENT FOR THEIR INIQUITY
AND KEEP THEM SAFE FROM THE PENALTY 

8  AND GRANT OUR LORD, THAT THEY ENTER THE GARDENS OF ETERNITY
THAT YOU HAVE PROMISED THEM AND THOSE WHO ACT RIGHTEOUSLY
AMONG THEIR FATHERS, THEIR WIVES AND THEIR POSTERITY 
FOR YOU ARE  FULL OF WISDOM AND ALL MIGHTY

9  AND REMOVE ALL EVIL FROM THEM 
AND ANY WHOM YOU REMOVE EVIL FROM THEM
THAT DAY YOU WILL HAVE BESTOWED MERCY ON THEM
AND THAT WILL BE THE HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT FOR THEM

454
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 2.  PART XXIV

10  IT WILL BE SAID TO THE DISBELIEVERS
GOD HATED YOU WHEN HE CALLED YOU TO BE BELIEVERS
BUT INSTEAD OF BEING BELIEVERS YOU WERE REJECTERS
NOW YOUR HATRED OF YOURSELVES IS EVEN GREATER

11  AND THEY WILL SAY, OUR LORD, TWICE HAVE YOU MADE US 
WITHOUT LIFE AND TWICE HAVE YOU GIVEN LIFE TO US 
NOW OUR SINS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY US
IS THERE ANY WAY OUT OF THIS FOR US?

12  AND THE ANSWER WILL BE, THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN GOD,THE CREATOR
WAS INVOKED AS THE ONLY OBJECT OF WORSHIP YOU WERE REJECTERS 
BUT WHEN PARTNERS WERE JOINED TO HIM YOU WERE BELIEVERS
THE COMMAND IS WITH GOD AND MOST GREAT IS YOUR MAKER

13  HE IT IS WHO GIVES YOU INSTRUCTION
AND SENDS DOWN SUSTENANCE FOR YOU FOR PROVISIONS
BUT ONLY THOSE RECEIVE ADMONITION 
ARE THOSE WHO TURN TO GOD IN SUBMISSION

14  CALL THEN UPON GOD WITH SINCERE DEVOTION 
EVEN THOUGH THE DISBELIEVERS MAY HAVE AVERSION

15  HE IS RAISED HIGH ABOVE RANKS OR DEGREES 
HE IS THE LORD OF THE THRONE OF AUTHORITY 

BY HIS COMMAND HE SENDS THE SPIRIT OF INSPIRATION 
TO ANY THAT HE PLEASES OF HIS SERVANTS

THAT HE MAY GIVE TO MEN THE WARNING
OF THE DAY OF MUTUAL MEETING

16  THE DAY THEY COME FORTH NOT ONE THING WILL BE HIDDEN 
AND THAT DAY WILL BE GOD'S DOMINION 
GOD, THE IRRESISTIBLE ONE

17  THAT DAY EVERY SOUL WILL BE REQUITED FOR THEIR DEEDS
AND NO ONE WILL BE DEALT WITH THE LEAST UNJUSTLY
FOR GOD IS SWIFT IN TAKING ACCOUNT ACCURATELY

18  AND WARN THEM OF THE DAY THAT IS DRAWING CLOSE 
WHEN THEIR HEARTS WILL COME UP TO THEIR  THROATS 

TO CHOKE THEM AND NO INTERCESSOR 
WILL THERE BE FOR THE WRONG DOERS 
TO WHOM SHOULD BE LENDED AN EAR

19  GOD KNOWS OF THE TRICKS THAT DECEIVE WITH THE EYES 
AND ALL THAT THE HEARTS OF MEN CONCEAL AND CONTRIVE

20  AND GOD WILL JUDGE WITH JUSTICE AND TRUTHFULLY 
BUT THOSE WHO MEN CALL UPON BESIDES HIM IN DEITY
WILL NOT BE IN A POSITION TO JUDGE AGAINST ANY
THE ONE WHO HEARS AND SEES ALL THINGS IS HE

455
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 3.  PART XXIV

21  IS THE EARTH NOT TRAVELED THROUGH BY THEM
TO SEE WHAT WAS THE END OF THOSE BEFORE THEM?
FOR THEY WERE EVEN SUPERIOR IN STRENGTH TO THEM 
GOD CALLED THEM TO ACCOUNT AND NONE COULD DEFEND THEM

22  THERE CAME TO THEM MESSENGERS WITH CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS 
BUT THEY WERE OBSTINATE IN REBELLION 
SO GOD CALLED THEM TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS
FOR HE IS STRONG AND SEVERE IN RETRIBUTION

23  OF OLD WE SENT MOSES WITH OUR MESSAGES CLEARLY
AND WITH CLEAR AND MANIFEST AUTHORITY

24  TO PHARAOH, HAMAN AND KORAH, BUT A SORCERER
THEY CALLED HIM AND A LIAR

25  WHEN HE CAME TO THEM WITH MESSAGES CLEAR
THEY SAID, KILL THE SONS OF THE BELIEVERS 
AND KEEP ALIVE THEIR FEMALE FOLLOWERS
BUT THE PLOTS OF THE DISBELIEVERS 
END IN NOTHING BUT DELUSIONS AND ERRORS 

26  PHARAOH SAID, LEAVE ME TO KILL MOSES
AND LET HIM CALL ON THIS LORD OF HIS

I FEAR THAT HE WOULD CHANGE YOUR RELIGION
OR THAT HE WOULD CAUSE MISCHIEF IN THE REGION

27  MOSES SAID, I HAVE CALLED UPON 
MY LORD AND YOUR LORD FOR PROTECTION 
FROM EVERY ONE WHO IS IN REJECTION 
AND BELIEVES NOT IN THE RESURRECTION

456
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 4.  PART XXIV

28  SAID A BELIEVER FROM AMONG PHARAOH'S PEOPLE  
ONE WHO HAD KEPT HIS FAITH CONCEALED 

WILL YOU KILL A MAN BECAUSE HE SAYS, MY LORD IS GOD  
WHEN HE HAS COME TO YOU WITH CLEAR SIGNS FROM GOD?

IF HE IS A LIAR ON HIM IS THE SIN BUT IF HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH 
THE CALAMITY OF WHICH HE WARNS YOU WILL FALL ON YOU 
FOR GOD GUIDES NOT ONE WHO IS SINFUL AND UNTRUE

29  OH MY PEOPLE, TODAY YOURS IS THE DOMINION 
AND YOU DO HAVE THE UPPER HAND OF THE SITUATION
BUT WHO WILL HELP US FROM OUR LORD'S RETRIBUTION  
PHARAOH SAID, I SHOW YOU WHAT IS IN MY PERCEPTION 
NOR DO I GUIDE YOU BUT TO THE  RIGHT DIRECTION

30  THEN SAID THE MAN WHO BELIEVED
OH MY PEOPLE, I FEAR FOR YOU INDEED

SOMETHING LIKE THE DAY OF DISASTER 
LIKE THE CONFEDERATES OF SIN PRIOR 

31  SOMETHING LIKE THE FATE OF NOAH'S PEOPLE 
AND THE AD AND THE THAMUD PEOPLE
AND THOSE WHO CAME AFTER THOSE PEOPLE
BUT GOD NEVER WISHES INJUSTICE TO HIS PEOPLE

32  AND OH MY PEOPLE, FOR YOU I AM FEARING 
FOR A DAY WHEN THERE WILL BE CALLING AND WAILING

33  A DAY WHEN YOU WILL TURN YOUR BACKS IN FEAR 
AND YOU WILL HAVE FROM GOD NO DEFENDER
FOR HE WHOM GOD LEAVES IN ERROR 
THERE IS NONE TO GUIDE HIM THEREAFTER

34  AND JOSEPH IN TIMES GONE BY WITH CLEAR SIGNS HAD COME
BUT YOU DOUBTED THE MISSION FOR WHICH HE HAD COME
AND YOU SAID, NO APOSTLE AFTER HIM WILL COME  
SO GOD REJECTS THOSE WHO REJECT SIGNS WHEN THEY COME

35  THOSE WHO DISPUTE ABOUT THE MESSAGES OF GOD 
WITHOUT ANY AUTHORITY THAT HAS REACHED THEM FROM GOD
GRIEVOUS IS SUCH CONDUCT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD 
AND GOD SEALS UP THE HEART OF EVERY REBEL AGAINST GOD

36  PHARAOH SAID, OH HAMAN, BUILD ME A LOFTY PALACE 
THAT I MAY ATTAIN THE WAYS AND MEANS OF ACCESS

37  THE WAYS AND MEANS OF REACHING THE HEAVENS
AND THAT I MAY FIND A WAY OF ASCENSION

UP TO THE GOD OF MOSES
BUT I THINK THERE IS NO TRUTH IN MOSES 

IN PHARAOH'S EYES THE EVIL OF HIS DEEDS WAS MADE ALLURING
AND HE WAS HINDERED FROM THE PATH AND THE PLOTTING
OF PHARAOH LED HIM TO NOTHING 

457
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 5.  PART XXIV

38  THE MAN WHO BELIEVED SAID, OH MY PEOPLE, FOLLOW ME  
I WILL LEAD YOU TO THE PATH OF RIGHT INDEED

39  OH MY PEOPLE, THIS LIFE OF THE PRESENT WILL COME TO PASS
IT IS THE HEREAFTER THAT IS THE HOME THAT WILL LAST

40  HE THAT WORKS EVIL WILL BE REQUITED SIMILAR  
AND HE THAT IS A RIGHTEOUS DOER 
WHETHER MAN OR WOMAN AND IS A BELIEVER
WILL ENTER PARADISE AND HAVE ABUNDANCE WITHOUT MEASURE

41  AND OH MY PEOPLE, I CALL YOU TO SALVATION
WHILE YOU CALL ME TO DESTRUCTION 

42  YOU CALL UPON ME TO BE A DISBELIEVER
AND TO JOIN WITH GOD PARTNERS 
OF WHOM I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE WHATSOEVER
AND I CALL YOU TO THE MOST MERCIFUL FORGIVER

43  WITHOUT DOUBT YOU CALL ME TO BE A BELIEVER 
IN ONE WHO IS NOT FIT TO EVEN CONSIDER 
NOT IN THIS WORLD OR THE HEREAFTER 
OUR RETURN WILL BE TO GOD, THE CREATOR
THE TRANSGRESSORS WILL BE COMPANIONS OF THE FIRE

44  WHAT I SAY YOU WILL SOON REMEMBER
NOW MY OWN AFFAIR I COMMIT TO MY MAKER
FOR OVER ALL OF HIS SERVANTS GOD IS THE SEER

45  THEN GOD SAVED HIM FROM EVERY EVIL
THAT THEY PLOTTED AGAINST HIM AND HIS PEOPLE
BUT THE BRUNT OF THE PENALTY OF EVIL
ENCOMPASSED ON ALL SIDES OF PHARAOH'S PEOPLE 

46  BROUGHT IN FRONT OF THE FIRE THEY WILL BE 
MORNING AND EVENING AND THE SENTENCE WILL BE 
ON THE DAY THAT THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WILL BE 
PHARAOH'S PEOPLE WILL RECEIVE THE WORST PENALTY 

47  THEY WILL DISPUTE WITH EACH OTHER IN THE FIRE 
THE WEAK ONES AMONG THEM WHO WERE FOLLOWERS 
WILL SAY TO THE ARROGANT, WE WERE YOUR FOLLOWERS  
CAN YOU THEN TAKE A SHARE FROM US OF THE FIRE?

48  THEN WILL SAY THOSE WHO HAD BEEN ARROGANT 
WE ARE ALL IN THIS FIRE, GOD HAS JUDGED HIS SERVANTS

49  THOSE IN THE FIRE WILL ASK THE KEEPERS OF HELL TO PRAY 
TO GOD TO LIGHTEN THE PENALTY FOR JUST A DAY   
   
50  THEY WILL SAY, DID THERE NOT COME TO YOU MESSENGERS
AND THEY WILL SAY, YES, THEN THE KEEPERS WILL ANSWER
PRAY AS YOU LIKE BUT THE PRAYER OF DISBELIEVERS
IS NOTHING BUT FUTILE WANDERING IN ERROR

458
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 6.  PART XXIV

51  WE WITHOUT DOUBT HELP OUR MESSENGERS AND THE BELIEVERS 
BOTH IN THIS WORLD'S LIFE  AND IN THE HEREAFTER

52  THE DAY WHEN NO PROFIT WILL IT BE 
TO THE WRONG DOERS TO THEN MAKE A PLEA
BUT THEY WILL HAVE THE CURSE AND THE HOME OF MISERY

53  WE BEFORE GAVE MOSES THE BOOK OF GUIDANCE 
AND GAVE THE BOOK TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN INHERITANCE

54  A GUIDE AND A MESSAGE TO MEN OF INTELLIGENCE

55  THE PROMISE OF GOD IS TRUE SO REMAIN PERSEVERING
AND FOR YOUR SIN ASK GOD TO BE FORGIVING
AND PRAISE GOD MORNING AND EVENING

56  THOSE WHO DISPUTE ABOUT THE MESSAGES OF GOD 
WITHOUT ANY AUTHORITY BESTOWED ON THEM FROM GOD

THERE IS NOTHING IN THEIR BREASTS 
BUT THE QUEST OF GREATNESS 

WHICH IS BEYOND THEIR ABILITY OF ATTAINING 
SO SEEK REFUGE IN GOD WHO IS ALL HEARING AND ALL SEEING

57  ASSUREDLY THE CREATION OF THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS
IS A GREATER MATTER THAN THE CREATION OF MEN 
YET MOST MEN DO NOT COMPREHEND

58  NOT EQUAL ARE THE BLIND AND THOSE WHO SEE AND TAKE HEED 
NOR THOSE WHO DO EVIL AND THOSE WHO DO GOOD DEEDS   
BUT YOU LEARN BY ADMONITION VERY LITTLE INDEED

59  THE HOUR WILL COME YET MOST MEN DO NOT BELIEVE 

60  YOUR LORD SAYS, I WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYER CALL ON ME 
BUT THOSE WHO ARE TOO ARROGANT TO SERVE ME 
WILL FIND THEMSELVES IN HELL IN HUMILITY

459
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 7.  PART XXIV

61  GOD MADE THE NIGHT FOR YOU THAT YOU MAY SLEEP
AND HE MADE THE DAY WHICH HELPS YOU TO SEE 
TO MEN GOD IS FULL OF GRACE AND BOUNTY 
YET MOST MEN ACT UNGRATEFULLY

62  THIS IS GOD WHO CREATED ALL GOOD THINGS FOR YOU
BESIDES WHOM THERE IS NO GOD THEN HOW ARE YOU 
DELUDED AWAY FROM WHAT IS TRUE?

63  THOSE WHO REJECT THE SIGNS OF GOD
ARE DELUDED FROM THE TRUTH OF GOD

64  AND GOD MADE FOR YOU THE EARTH AS A PLACE OF RESTING 
AND THE SKY AS A CANOPY AND HE HAS SHAPED YOUR BEINGS
AND MADE YOUR SHAPES BEAUTIFUL AND PROVIDED THINGS 
PURE AND GOOD FOR YOU FOR YOUR SUSTAINING 
FOR GOD HAS POWER OVER ALL THINGS 

65  HE IS THE LIVING THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE 
SO CALL ON HIM WITH SINCERITY 
TO GOD ALL PRAISES BE
THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS IS HE

66  I AM FORBIDDEN TO SERVE THOSE WHOM YOU SERVE BESIDES GOD 
WHEN CLEAR ARGUMENTS HAVE COME TO ME FROM GOD
AND I AM COMMANDED TO SUBMIT TO GOD

67  HE CREATED YOU FROM DUST THEN FROM A SPERM DROP
AND THEN FROM A LEECH LIKE CLOT 

AND THEN GETS YOU OUT AS A CHILD INTO THE LIGHT  
THEN LETS YOU REACH YOUR AGE OF FULL STRENGTH AND MIGHT 

AND THEN LETS YOU BECOME OLD THOUGH OF YOU 
THERE ARE SOME WHO DIE BEFORE AND HE LETS YOU 
REACH A TERM IN ORDER THAT WISDOM MAY BE LEARNED BY YOU

68  LIFE AND DEATH IT IS HE WHO GIVES
AND WHEN HE DECIDES AN AFFAIR ALL THAT HAPPENS IS
HE ONLY SAYS TO IT, BE, AND IT IS

460
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 8.  PART XXIV

69  THOSE THAT DISPUTE ABOUT GOD'S MESSAGES IGNORANTLY 
DO YOU NOT SEE HOW ARE THEY TURNED AWAY FROM REALITY?

70  THOSE WHO ARE REJECTERS OF THE SCRIPTURES 
WHICH HAS BEEN SENT WITH OUR MESSENGERS 
SOON WILL THEY KNOW THEIR ERRORS

71  WHEN THE CHAINS WILL BE AROUND THEIR COLLARS 
AND THEY WILL BE DRAGGED IN CHAINS AND FETTERS         

72  INTO THE BOILING FETID WATER
AND BURNED IN THE BLAZING FIRE

73  THEN THEY WILL BE ASKED, WHERE ARE THE PARTNERS
THOSE OF WHICH YOU WERE WORSHIPPERS

74  IN DEROGATION OF YOUR LORD AND CHERISHER? 
THEY WILL SAY, THEY HAVE LEFT US IN THE LURCH 
WE INVOKE NOT OF OLD ANYTHING PRIOR
SO DOES GOD LEAVE TO STRAY THE DISBELIEVERS 

75  THAT WAS BECAUSE YOU EXULTED IN THE LAND UNJUSTLY 
AND BECAUSE YOU BEHAVED INSOLENTLY

76  NOW ENTER THE GATES OF HELL 
EVIL IS THIS ABODE FOR THE ARROGANT TO DWELL

77  SO PERSEVERE PATIENTLY
FOR THE PROMISE OF GOD IS TRUE INDEED
WHETHER WE SHOW YOU IN THIS LIFETIME TO SEE 
SOME PART OF WHAT WE PROMISE THEM TO RECEIVE
OR WE TAKE YOUR SOUL BEFORE THAT TO OUR MERCY 
TO US THEY WILL ALL RETURN EVENTUALLY

78  WE SENT BEFORE APOSTLES BEFORE YOU 
THERE ARE SOME WHOSE STORIES WE HAVE TOLD TO YOU 
AND THERE ARE SOME WHOSE STORIES WE HAVE NOT TOLD TO YOU 

IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ANY APOSTLE TO BRING MESSAGES
EXCEPT BY THE LEAVE OF GOD AS HE PLEASES
BUT GOD DECIDES IN TRUTH AND JUSTICE
AND HE WHO STANDS ON FALSEHOOD PERISHES

461
CHAPTER 40.  THE BELIEVERS                                                      SECTION 9.  PART XXIV

79  IT IS GOD WHO MADE CATTLE FOR YOU 
THAT YOU MAY USE SOME FOR RIDING AND SOME FOR FOOD

80  THERE ARE OTHER ADVANTAGES FOR YOU IN THEM 
YOU MAY ATTAIN OTHER NEEDS THROUGH THEM 
AND ON THEM AS ON SHIPS YOU RIDE THEM

81  AND HE SHOWS YOU ALWAYS HIS SIGNS 
THEN WHICH WILL YOU DENY OF GOD'S SIGNS?

82  IS THE EARTH NOT TRAVELED THROUGH BY THEM
TO SEE WHAT WAS THE END OF THOSE BEFORE THEM? 
THEY WERE MORE NUMEROUS AND STRONGER THAN THEM 
AND IN THE TRACES WHICH WERE LEFT IN THE LAND BY THEM
YET ALL THAT THEY ACCOMPLISHED DID NOT PROFIT THEM 

83  WHEN THEIR MESSENGERS CAME WITH CLEAR MESSAGES TO THEM 
THEY EXULTED IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN TO THEM 
THE WRATH AT WHICH THEY SCOFFED AT ENCOMPASSED THEM 

84  BUT WHEN THEY SAW OUR PENALTY  
THEY SAID WE BELIEVE IN THE ONE DEITY
AND WE REJECT ALL OTHERS COMPLETELY
THEIR PROFESSING THE FAITH WHEN THEY SAW OUR PENALTY
WAS NOT GOING TO PROFIT THEM AND THIS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY
GOD'S WAY OF DEALING WITH HIS SERVANTS FORMERLY
AND SO THE REJECTERS OF GOD PERISH UTTERLY

462
 CHAPTER 41.  HA-MIM                                                                    SECTION 1.  PART XXIV

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  BENEFICENT GOD

2  THIS IS A REVELATION FROM GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

3  A BOOK IN WHICH THE VERSES ARE COMPLETELY EXPLAINED 
A QURAN IN ARABIC FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND

4  GIVING GOOD NEWS AND ADMONITION 
YET MOST OF THEM TURN AWAY AND DO NOT LISTEN

5  THEY SAY, OUR HEARTS ARE INDEED VEILED FROM YOU 
AND ARE VEILED TO THAT TO WHICH YOU INVITE US TO
AND IN OUR EARS IS DEAFNESS FROM HEARING YOU
AND THERE IS A SCREEN BETWEEN US AND YOU 
SO GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT PLEASES YOU 
AND WE WILL DO WHAT PLEASES US TOO

6  SAY, I AM BUT A MAN LIKE YOU INDEED
BUT A REVELATION HAS COME TO ME   
THAT YOUR GOD IS ONE GOD ONLY
SO STAND TRUE TO GOD AND ASK FOR HIS MERCY
AND WOE TO THOSE WHO JOIN GODS WITH GOD IN DEITY

7  THOSE WHO PRACTICE NOT REGULAR CHARITY
AND WHO EVEN DENY THE HEREAFTER INSOLENTLY

8  FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS
IS A REWARD THAT WILL NEVER FAIL INDEED

CHAPTER 41.  HA-MIM                                                                    SECTION 2.  PART XXIV

9  SAY, IS IT THAT YOU DENY HIM WHO CREATED THE EARTH IN TWO DAYS  
AND DO YOU JOIN EQUALS WITH HIM AND HE IS THE LORD OF THE WAYS?

10  HE SET ON THE EARTH MOUNTAINS STANDING FIRM ABOVE IT 
AND HE BESTOWED BLESSINGS ON THE EARTH AND MEASURED IN IT
IN FOUR DAYS ALL THINGS TO GIVE THEM NOURISHMENT IN DUE LIMITS 
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE WHO NEED IT

11  MOREOVER HE IN HIS DESIGN COMPREHEND THE SKY 
AND IT HAD BEEN AS SMOKE AND HE TOLD THE EARTH AND THE SKY 

TO COME TOGETHER WILLINGLY OR UNWILLINGLY 
THEY SAID, WE COME TOGETHER WILLINGLY 

12  SO HE COMPLETED THEM IN TWO DAYS AS SEVEN HEAVENS
AND HE ASSIGNED ITS DUTY TO EACH HEAVEN
AND WITH LIGHTS WE ADORNED THE LOWER HEAVEN 

AND PROVIDED IT WITH SECURITY 
THIS IS THE DECREE OF THE ALMIGHTY

13  IF THEY TURN AWAY SAY, I HAVE GIVEN YOU WARNING 
OF A STUNNING PUNISHMENT OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

LIKE THAT WHICH OVERTOOK FOR THEIR EVIL
THE AD AND THE THAMUD PEOPLE

14  THE MESSENGERS CAME PREVIOUSLY AND SUBSEQUENTLY 
PREACHING, SERVE NONE BUT GOD AND WORSHIP HIM ONLY
THEY SAID, IF GOD HAD SO PLEASED HE WOULD CERTAINLY 
HAVE SENT DOWN ANGELS TO YOU TO PREACH CLEARLY
SO WE ARE REJECTERS OF YOUR MISSION COMPLETELY

15  NOW THE AD BEHAVED IN ERROR 
THEY SAID, WHO IN STRENGTH IS TO US SUPERIOR? 
DID THEY NOT SEE THAT GOD WHO CREATED THEM WAS SUPERIOR 
AND THAT HE WAS FAR ABOVE THEM IN STRENGTH AND POWER?  
BUT THEY CONTINUED TO BE DISBELIEVERS

16  SO WE SENT AGAINST THEM A WIND FURIOUSLY
THROUGH DAYS OF DISASTER IN ORDER THAT WE 
MIGHT GIVE THEM A TASTE OF A PENALTY 
OF HUMILIATION IN THIS LIFE TEMPORARILY

BUT THE PENALTY OF THE HEREAFTER 
WILL BE EVEN MORE OF A DISASTER
AND THEY WILL FIND NO HELPER 

17  AS TO THE THAMUD WE GAVE THEM GUIDANCE 
BUT THEY PREFERRED BLINDNESS OF HEART TO GUIDANCE 

SO THE PUNISHMENT OF HUMILIATION SEIZED THEM 
BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS EARNED BY THEM

18  BUT THEN WE DELIVERED THE BELIEVERS
THOSE WHO WERE RIGHTEOUS DOERS

464
CHAPTER 41.  HA-MIM                                                                    SECTION 3.  PART XXIV

19  THE DAY THE ENEMIES OF GOD WILL BE GATHERED TOGETHER 
THEY WILL BE MARCHED IN RANKS TO THE FIRE

20  AT LENGTH WHEN THEY REACH THE FIRE, THEIR HEARING 
THEIR SIGHT AND THEIR SKINS WILL BEAR WITNESSING
AGAINST THEM AS TO ALL OF THEIR DOINGS

21  THEY WILL ASK THEIR SKINS, WHY DO YOU BEAR WITNESS AGAINST US 
THEY WILL SAY, GOD WHO GIVES SPEECH HAS GIVEN SPEECH TO US
IT WAS HE WHO IN THE FIRST PLACE CREATED US 
AND TO HIM WILL BE THE RETURN OF US 

22  AND YOU DID NOT SEEK TO HIDE YOURSELVES OR ELSE YOUR HEARING 
YOUR SIGHT AND YOUR SKINS WOULD AGAINST YOU BEAR WITNESSING 
BUT YOU THOUGHT THAT GOD KNEW NOT WHAT YOU WERE DOING

23  BUT THIS THOUGHT OF YOURS WHICH YOU DID ENVISION
CONCERNING YOUR LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU TO DESTRUCTION 
AND SO NOW HAVE YOU BECOME OF THOSE IN A LOST SITUATION

24  IF THEY HAVE PATIENCE THEIR HOME WILL BE THE FIRE  
AND IF THEY BEG TO BE RECEIVED INTO FAVOR 
THEY WILL NOT BE RECEIVED INTO FAVOR 

25  AND WE HAVE NOW DESTINED FOR THEM INTIMATE COMPANIONS
WHO MADE THEIR PAST AND FUTURE APPEAR WITH FASCINATION 
AND THE SENTENCE AMONG THE PREVIOUS GENERATIONS 
WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY OF MEN AND DEMONS
IS PROVED AGAINST THEM FOR THEY ARE IN A LOST SITUATION

465
CHAPTER 41.  HA-MIM                                                                    SECTION 4.  PART XXIV

26  THE DISBELIEVERS SAY, LISTEN NOT TO THIS QURAN
BUT TALK AT RANDOM IN THE MIDST OF ITS RECITATION
THAT YOU MAY GAIN THE UPPER HAND OF THE SITUATION

27  BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY 
GIVE THE DISBELIEVERS A TASTE OF A SEVERE PENALTY 
AND WE WILL REQUITE THEM FOR THE WORST OF THEIR DEEDS

28  THIS IS THE REQUITAL OF THE ENEMIES OF THE CREATOR
AND THE FIRE WILL BE THEIR HOME IN THE HEREAFTER
A FIT REQUITAL FOR THEY WERE DISBELIEVERS

29  AND THE DISBELIEVERS WILL SAY, OUR LORD, SHOW US 
THOSE AMONG DEMONS AND MEN WHO MISLED US 

WE WILL BENEATH OUR FEET CRUSH THEM ALL
SO THAT THEY BECOME THE VILEST BEFORE ALL

30  THOSE WHO SAY, OUR LORD AND CHERISHER IS GOD, THE CREATOR
AND STAND STRAIGHT, THE ANGELS SAY TO THEM, DO NOT FEAR
BUT RECEIVE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE REWARD
OF THE GARDEN OF BLISS WHICH YOU WERE ASSURED

31  WE ARE YOUR PROTECTORS IN THIS LIFE AND IN THE HEREAFTER 
IN IT YOU WILL HAVE ALL THAT YOUR SOULS WILL DESIRE 
AND IN IT YOU WILL HAVE ALL THAT YOU ASK FOR

32  A HOSPITABLE GIFT FROM THE ONE 
THE FORGIVING THE MERCIFUL ONE

466
CHAPTER 41.  HA-MIM                                                                    SECTION 5.  PART XXIV

33  WHO IS BETTER IN SPEECH THAN ONE WHO CALLS MEN TO GOD 
AND SAYS, I AM OF THOSE WHO BOW IN SUBMISSION TO GOD?

34  NOR CAN GOODNESS AND EVIL BE EQUAL
THEREFORE WITH GOODNESS REPEL EVIL 

THEN HE BETWEEN WHOM AND YOU WAS HATRED 
WILL BECOME AS YOUR FRIEND AND INTIMATE

35  NO ONE WILL BE GRANTED SUCH GOODNESS EXCEPT THE ONES
WHO EXERCISE PATIENCE AND SELF RESTRAINT AND NONE
BUT PERSONS OF THE GREATEST GOOD FORTUNE

36  IF AT ANY TIME AN INCITEMENT TO EVIL
IS MADE TO YOU BY THE DEVIL

SEEK REFUGE IN GOD FOR HE IS ALL HEARING 
AND ALL KNOWING OF ALL THINGS

37  THE NIGHT AND DAY, THE MOON AND THE SUN ARE SIGNS OF GOD
BUT DO NOT ADORE THE MOON AND THE SUN BUT ADORE GOD 
WHO CREATED THEM IF YOU WISH TO SERVE GOD

38  BUT IF THE DISBELIEVERS ARE ARROGANT IT IS NO MATTER 
FOR IN THE PRESENCE OF THEIR LORD AND CHERISHER
ARE THOSE WHO CELEBRATE THEIR CREATOR 
BY NIGHT AND BY DAY AND THEY NEVER  
FEEL THEMSELVES ABOVE IT EVER

39  AMONG HIS SIGNS IS THAT YOU SEE THE EARTH DESOLATE
BUT THEN WHEN HE SENDS DOWN RAIN UPON IT
IT IS STIRRED TO LIFE AND INCREASED IS IT

SO HE WHO GIVES LIFE TO THE EARTH THAT IS DEAD  
CAN SURELY GIVE LIFE TO MEN WHO ARE DEAD

40  THOSE WHO PERVERT THE TRUTH IN OUR MESSAGES
THEY ARE SURELY NOT HIDDEN FROM US

WHICH IS BETTER, HE THAT IS CAST INTO THE FIRE 
OR HE THAT COMES THROUGH SAFELY IN THE HEREAFTER?
SO DO WHAT YOU WILL FOR IT IS FOR SURE 
ALL THAT YOU DO GOD SEES AND HEARS

41  AND THOSE WHO HEAR THE MESSAGE AND REJECT IT 
SURELY ARE NOT HIDDEN FROM US AND INDEED IT 
IS A BOOK EXALTED IN POWER AND RESPECTED

42  NO FALSEHOOD CAN APPROACH IT FROM BEFORE IT OR BEHIND IT 
FOR ONE WHO IS FULL OF WISDOM HAS SENT IT

43  NOTHING IS SAID TO YOU 
THAT WAS NOT SAID TO THE APOSTLES BEFORE YOU 

THAT YOUR LORD HAS AT HIS COMMAND ALL FORGIVENESS  
AS WELL AS A PUNISHMENT MOST GRIEVOUS 

44  HAD WE SENT THIS QURAN OTHER THAN IN ARABIC 
THEY WOULD SAY WHY IS IT NOT CLEAR, A BOOK NOT IN ARABIC 
AND MESSENGER WHOSE ANCESTRY IS ARABIC?

SAY, IT IS A GUIDE AND A HEALING TO THOSE WHO ARE BELIEVERS 
AND AS FOR THOSE WHO ARE DISBELIEVERS
THEIR EYES ARE BLIND AND DEAFNESS IS IN THEIR EARS
AS IF THEY WERE BEING CALLED FROM A PLACE NOT NEAR 

467
CHAPTER 41.  HA-MIM                                                                    SECTION 6.  PART XXIV

45  WE GAVE MOSES THE BOOK BEFORE BUT THEN DISPUTES AROSE IN IT 
HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR A WORD THAT CAME FROM GOD BEFORE IT 

THEIR DIFFERENCES WOULD HAVE BEEN SETTLED BETWEEN THEM 
BUT THEY KEPT THEIR DOUBTS WITHIN THEM

46  WHOEVER WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS BENEFITS HIS OWN SOUL 
WHOEVER WORKS EVIL IT IS AGAINST HIS OWN SOUL 
NOR IS YOUR LORD EVER UNJUST TO ANY SOUL

PART  XXV

47  HIS IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE JUDGEMENT HOUR  
AND NO DATE FRUIT COMES OUT OF ITS COVER 
OR DOES A FEMALE CONCEIVE WITHIN HER
NOR BRING FORTH YOUNG BUT BY HIS ORDER
THE DAY THAT GOD WILL ASK THEM TO ANSWER 
WHERE ARE THOSE YOU ATTRIBUTED TO ME AS PARTNERS?
THEY WILL SAY, NONE OF US CAN POSITIVELY ANSWER

48  THE DEITIES THAT WERE WORSHIPPED BY THEM
IN THE LURCH THEY WILL HAVE LEFT THEM 
NO ESCAPE WILL THERE BE FOR THEM

49  MAN DOES NOT WEARY OF ASKING FOR GOOD THINGS 
BUT IF ILL TOUCHES HIM HE GIVES UP HOPING
AND HE IS LOST IN DESPAIRING

50  WHEN WE GIVE MAN A TASTE OF SOME MERCY 
AFTER HAS TOUCHED HIM SOME ADVERSITY 
THEN HE WILL SAY, THIS IS DUE TO ME 
AND I BELIEVE THAT THE HOUR OF JUDGMENT WILL NEVER BE  
BUT IF I AM BROUGHT BACK TO MY LORD INEVITABLY 
I HAVE MUCH GOOD STORED IN HIS SIGHT INDEED
BUT WE WILL SHOW THE DISBELIEVERS THEIR DEEDS
AND WE WILL MAKE THEM TASTE A SEVERE PENALTY

51  WHEN WE BESTOW FAVORS ON MAN HE TURNS ASIDE
AND GETS HIMSELF REMOTELY ON HIS SIDE

INSTEAD OF COMING TO US AND AFTER EVIL SEIZES HIM
HE COMES FULL OF PROLONGED PRAYER TO US FROM HIM

52  SAY, SEE IF THIS IS REALLY GOD'S REVELATION 
AND YET OF IT YOU ARE IN REJECTION
WHO IS MORE ASTRAY THAN ONE WHO DENIES TRUTH AND REASON?

53  WE WILL SHOW THEM OUR SIGNS IN THE FURTHEST REGIONS 
OF THE EARTH AND IN THEIR OWN PERSONS
UNTIL THE TRUTH COMES TO THEM IN MANIFESTATION
IS IT NOT ENOUGH THAT GOD IS WITNESS OVER ALL CREATION?

54  THEY ARE IN DOUBT CONCERNING THE MEETING 
WITH GOD AND HE ENCOMPASSES ALL THINGS
