قاٰلَتِ
The Bedouins say, ‘We have faith.’ Say, ‘You do not have faith yet; rather, say, ‘‘We have embraced Islam,’’ for faith has not yet entered into your hearts. Yet if you obey Allah and His Apostle, He will not stint anything of [the reward of] your works. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.’ ﴾14﴿The faithful are only those who have attained faith in Allah and His Apostle and then have never doubted, and who wage jihad with their possessions and their persons in the way of Allah. It is they who are the truthful. ﴾15﴿Say, ‘Will you inform Allah about your faith while Allah knows whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth, and Allah has knowledge of all things?’ ﴾16﴿They count it as a favour to you that they have embraced Islam. Say, ‘Do not count your embracing of Islam as a favour to me. No, it is Allah who has done you a favour in that He has guided you to faith, if you are truthful [in your claim]. ﴾17﴿Indeed Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and Allah watches what you do.’ ﴾18﴿Surah QafMakiha45In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.Qaf. By the glorious Quran. ﴾1﴿Indeed they consider it odd that a warner from among themselves should have come to them. So the faithless say, ‘This is an odd thing.’ ﴾2﴿‘What! When we are dead and have become dust, [shall we be raised again]? That is a far-fetched return!’ ﴾3﴿We know what the earth diminishes from them, and with Us is a preserving Book. ﴾4﴿Indeed, they denied the truth when it came to them; so they are now in a perplexed state of affairs. ﴾5﴿Have they not, then, observed the heaven above them, how We have built it and adorned it, and that there are no cracks in it? ﴾6﴿And We spread out the earth, and cast in it firm mountains, and caused every delightful kind [of vegetation] to grow in it. ﴾7﴿[In this there is] an insight and admonition for every penitent servant. ﴾8﴿We send down from the sky salubrious water, with which We grow gardens and the grain which is harvested, ﴾9﴿and tall date palms with regularly set spathes, ﴾10﴿as a provision for Our servants, and with it We revive a dead country. Likewise will be the rising [from the dead]. ﴾11﴿The people of Noah denied before them, and [so did] the people of Rass and Thamud, ﴾12﴿and ‘Ad, Pharaoh, and the brethren of Lot, ﴾13﴿and the inhabitants of Aykah and the people of Tubbac. Each [of them] impugned the apostles, and so My threat became due [against them]. ﴾14﴿Have We been exhausted by the first creation? No, they are in doubt about a new creation. ﴾15﴿Certainly We have created man and We know to what his soul tempts him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. ﴾16﴿When the twin recorders record [his deeds], seated on the right hand and on the left: ﴾17﴿he says no word but that there is a ready observer beside him. ﴾18﴿The throes of death bring the truth: ‘This is what you used to shun!’ ﴾19﴿And the Trumpet will be blown: ‘This is the promised day.’ ﴾20﴿Every soul will come accompanied by [two angels], a driver, and a witness: ﴾21﴿[he will be told] ‘You were certainly oblivious of this. We have removed your veil from you, and so today your eyesight is acute.’ ﴾22﴿Then his companion [angel] will say, ‘This is what is ready with me [of his record of deeds].’ ﴾23﴿[The two angels accompany him will be told,] ‘Cast every obdurate ingrate into hell, ﴾24﴿[every] hinderer of good, transgressor, and skeptic, ﴾25﴿who had set up another god along with Allah and cast him into the severe punishment.’ ﴾26﴿His companion [devil] will say, ‘Our Lord! I did not incite him to rebel [against You], but he was [himself] in extreme error.’ ﴾27﴿He will say, ‘Do not wrangle in My presence, for I had already warned you in advance. ﴾28﴿The word [of judgement] is unalterable with Me, and I am not tyrannical to My servants.’ ﴾29﴿The day when We shall say to hell, ‘Are you full?’ It will say, ‘Is there any more?’ ﴾30﴿And paradise will be brought near for the Godwary, it will not be distant [any more]: ﴾31﴿‘This is what you were promised. [It is] for every penitent and dutiful [servant] ﴾32﴿who fears the All-beneficent in secret and comes with a penitent heart. ﴾33﴿Enter it in peace! This is the day of immortality.’ ﴾34﴿There they will have whatever they wish, and with Us there is yet more. ﴾35﴿How many generations We have destroyed before them, who were stronger than these, insomuch that they ransacked the towns?! So, is there any escape [from Allah’s punishment]? ﴾36﴿There is indeed an admonition in that for one who has a heart, or gives ear, being attentive. ﴾37﴿Certainly We created the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, in six days, and any fatigue did not touch Us. ﴾38﴿So be patient at what they say, and celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the sunset, ﴾39﴿and glorify Him through part of the night and after the prostrations. ﴾40﴿And be on the alert for the day when the caller calls from a close quarter, ﴾41﴿the day when they hear the Cry in all truth. That is the day of rising [from the dead]. ﴾42﴿Indeed it is We who give life and bring death, and toward Us is the [final] destination. ﴾43﴿The day the earth is split open for [disentombing] them, [they will come out] hastening. That mustering is easy for Us [to carry out]. ﴾44﴿We know well what they say, and you are not there to compel them. So admonish by the Quran those who fear My threat. ﴾45﴿Surah Adh-DhariyatMakiha60In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the scattering [winds] that scatter [the clouds]; ﴾1﴿by the [rain] bearing [clouds] laden [with water]; ﴾2﴿by [the ships] which move gently [on the sea]; ﴾3﴿by [the angels] who dispense [livelihood] by [His] command: ﴾4﴿indeed what you are promised is true, ﴾5﴿and indeed the retribution will surely come to pass! ﴾6﴿By the sky full of adornment [with stars], ﴾7﴿indeed you are of different opinions! ﴾8﴿He who has been turned away [from the truth] is turned away from it. ﴾9﴿Perish the liars, ﴾10﴿who are heedless in a stupor! ﴾11﴿They ask, ‘When will be the Day of Retribution?’ ﴾12﴿It is the day when they will be tormented in the Fire, ﴾13﴿[and will be told]: ‘Taste your torment. This is what you used to hasten.’ ﴾14﴿Indeed the Godwary will be amid gardens and springs, ﴾15﴿receiving what their Lord has given them, for they had been virtuous aforetime. ﴾16﴿They used to sleep a little during the night, ﴾17﴿and at dawns they would plead for forgiveness, ﴾18﴿and there was a share in their wealth for the beggar and the deprived. ﴾19﴿In the earth are signs for those who have conviction, ﴾20﴿and in your souls [as well]. Will you not then perceive? ﴾21﴿And in the sky is your provision and what you are promised. ﴾22﴿By the Lord of the sky and the earth, it is indeed the truth, just as [it is a fact that] you speak. ﴾23﴿Did you receive the story of Abraham’s honoured guests? ﴾24﴿When they entered into his presence, they said, ‘Peace!’ ‘Peace!’ He answered, ‘[You are] an unfamiliar folk.’ ﴾25﴿Then he retired to his family and brought a fat [roasted] calf, ﴾26﴿and put it near them. He said, ‘Will you not eat?’ ﴾27﴿Then he felt a fear of them. They said, ‘Do not be afraid!’ and they gave him the good news of a wise son. ﴾28﴿Then his wife came forward crying [with joy]. She beat her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman!’ ﴾29﴿They said, ‘So has your Lord said. Indeed He is the All-wise, the All-knowing.’ ﴾30﴿
