One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
People, it is you who stand in need of God- God needs nothing and is worthy of all praise
Translation 1260
if He wills, He can do away with you and bring in a new creation
Translation 1260
that is not difficult for God
Translation 1260
No burdened soul will bear the burden of another: even if a heavily laden soul should cry for help, none of its load will be carried, not even by a close relative. But you [Prophet] can only warn those who fear their Lord, though they cannot see Him, and keep up the prayer- whoever purifies himself does so for his own benefit–– everything returns to God
Translation 1260
The blind and the seeing are not alike
Translation 1260
nor are darkness and light
Translation 1260
shade and heat are not alike
Translation 1260
nor are the living and the dead. God makes anyone He wills hear [His message]: you cannot make those in their graves hear
Translation 1260
You are only here to warn them
Translation 1260
We have sent you with the Truth as a bearer of good news and warning- every community has been sent a warner
Translation 1260
If they call you a liar, their predecessors did the same: messengers came to them with clear signs, scriptures, and enlightening revelation
Translation 1260
and afterwards I seized the disbelievers- how terrible My punishment was
Translation 1260
Have you [Prophet] not considered how God sends water down from the sky and that We produce with it fruits of varied colours; that there are in the mountains layers of white and red of various hues, and jet black
Translation 1260
that there are various colours among human beings, wild animals, and livestock too? It is those of His servants who have knowledge who stand in true awe of God. God is almighty, most forgiving
Translation 1260
Those who recite God’s scripture, keep up the prayer, give secretly and openly from what We have provided for them, may hope for a trade that will never decline
Translation 1260
He will repay them in full, and give them extra from His bounty. He is most forgiving, most appreciative
Translation 1260
The Scripture We have revealed to you [Prophet] is the Truth and confirms the scriptures that preceded it. God is well informed about His servants, He sees everything
Translation 1260
We gave the Scripture as a heritage to Our chosen servants: some of them wronged their own souls, some stayed between [right and wrong], and some, by God’s leave, were foremost in good deeds. That is the greatest favour
Translation 1260
they will enter lasting Gardens where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, where they will wear silk garments
Translation 1260
They will say, ‘Praise be to God, who has separated us from all sorrow! Our Lord is truly most forgiving, most appreciative
Translation 1260
He has, in His bounty, settled us in the everlasting Home where no toil or fatigue will touch us.’
Translation 1260
But those who reject the truth will stay in Hellfire, where they will neither be finished off by death, nor be relieved from Hell’s torment: this is how We reward hardened disbelievers
Translation 1260
They will cry out loud in Hell, ‘Lord, let us out, and we will do righteous deeds, not what we did before!’- ‘ Did We not give you a life long enough to take warning if you were going to? The warner came to you, now taste the punishment.’ The evildoers will have nobody to help them
Translation 1260
God knows all that is hidden in the heavens and earth; He knows the thoughts contained in the heart
Translation 1260
it is He who made you [people] successors to the land. Those who deny the truth will bear the consequences: their denial will only make them more odious to their Lord, and add only to their loss
Translation 1260
Say, ‘Consider those “partners” of yours that you call upon beside God. Show me! What part of the earth did they create? What share of the heavens do they possess?’ Have We given them a book that contains clear evidence? No indeed! The idolaters promise each other only delusion
Translation 1260
