Al-Kahf 18:52

I did not make them witnesses to the creation of the heavens and earth, nor to their own creation; I do not take as My supporters those who lead others astray

Translation 1260

On the Day God will say, ‘Call on those you claimed were My partners,’ they will call them but they will not answer; We shall set a deadly gulf between them

Translation 1260

The evildoers will see the Fire and they will realize that they are about to fall into it: they will find no escape from it

Translation 1260

In this Quran We have presented every kind of description for people but man is more contentious than any other creature

Translation 1260

Now that guidance has come to them, what stops these people believing and asking forgiveness from their Lord before the fate of earlier peoples annihilates them or their torment confronts them

Translation 1260

We only send messengers to bring good news and to deliver warning, yet the disbelievers seek to refute the truth with false arguments and make fun of My messages and warnings

Translation 1260

Who could be more wrong than the person who is reminded of his Lord’s messages and turns his back on them, ignoring what his hands are storing up for him [in the Hereafter]? We have put covers over their hearts, so they cannot understand the Quran, and We put heaviness in their ears: although you call them to guidance [Prophet] they will never accept it

Translation 1260

Your Lord is the Most Forgiving, and full of mercy: if He took them to task for the wrongs they have done, He would hasten their punishment on. They have an appointed time from which they will have no escape

Translation 1260

[just like] the former communities We destroyed for doing wrong: We set an appointed time for their destruction

Translation 1260

Moses said to his servant, ‘I will not rest until I reach the place where the two seas meet, even if it takes me years!’

Translation 1260

but when they reached the place where the two seas meet, they had forgotten all about their fish, which made its way into the sea and swam away

Translation 1260

They journeyed on, and then Moses said to his servant, ‘Give us our lunch! This journey of ours is very tiring,’

Translation 1260

and [the servant] said, ‘Remember when we were resting by the rock? I forgot the fish- Satan made me forget to pay attention to it- and it [must have] made its way into the sea.’ ‘How strange!’

Translation 1260

Moses said, ‘Then that was the place we were looking for.’ So the two turned back, retraced their footsteps

Translation 1260

and found one of Our servants- a man to whom We had granted Our mercy and whom We had given knowledge of Our own

Translation 1260

Moses said to him, ‘May I follow you so that you can teach me some of the right guidance you have been taught?’

Translation 1260

The man said, ‘You will not be able to bear with me patiently

Translation 1260

How could you be patient in matters beyond your knowledge?’

Translation 1260

Moses said, ‘God willing, you will find me patient. I will not disobey you in any way.’

Translation 1260

The man said, ‘If you follow me then, do not query anything I do before I mention it to you myself.’

Translation 1260

They travelled on. Later, when they got into a boat, and the man made a hole in it, Moses said, ‘How could you make a hole in it? Do you want to drown its passengers? What a strange thing to do!’

Translation 1260

He replied, ‘Did I not tell you that you would never be able to bear with me patiently?’

Translation 1260

Moses said, ‘Forgive me for forgetting. Do not make it too hard for me to follow you.’

Translation 1260

And so they travelled on. Then, when they met a young boy and the man killed him, Moses said, ‘How could you kill an innocent person? He has not killed anyone! What a terrible thing to do!’

Translation 1260

He replied, ‘Did I not tell you that you would never be able to bear with me patiently?’
