An-Nahl 16:94

God presents another illustration: two men, one of them dumb, unable to do anything, a burden to his carer- whatever task he directs him to, he achieves nothing good- can he be considered equal to one who commands justice and is on the straight path

Translation 1260

All that is hidden from view in the heavens and earth belongs to God. The coming of the Hour of Judgement is like the blink of an eye, or even quicker: God has power over everything

Translation 1260

It is God who brought you out of your mothers’ wombs knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and minds, so that you might be thankful

Translation 1260

Do they not see the birds made to fly through the air in the sky? Nothing holds them up except God. There truly are signs in this for those who believe

Translation 1260

It is God who has given you a place of rest in your homes and from the skins of animals made you homes that you find light [to handle] when you travel and when you set up camp; furnishings and comfort for a while from their wool, fur, and hair

Translation 1260

It is God who has given you shade from what He has created, and places of shelter in the mountains; garments to protect you from the heat, and garments to protect you in your wars. In this way He perfects His blessings on you, so that you may devote yourselves to Him

Translation 1260

But if they turn away [Prophet], your only duty is to deliver the message clearly

Translation 1260

They know God’s blessings, but refuse to recognize them: most of them are ungrateful

Translation 1260

The day will come when We raise up a witness from every community, when the disbelievers will not be allowed to make excuses or amends

Translation 1260

When the evildoers face punishment it will not be lightened for them nor will they be given any respite

Translation 1260

When the idolaters see the partners they joined with God they will say, ‘Our Lord, these are the partners we used to invoke beside You,’ but the partners will retort, ‘You are liars,’

Translation 1260

and on that Day they will offer total submission to God: their false deities will desert them

Translation 1260

Because of the corruption they spread, We shall add torment upon torment for those who disbelieved and barred others from the path of God

Translation 1260

The day will come when We raise up in each community a witness against them, and We shall bring you [Prophet] as a witness against these people, for We have sent the Scripture down to you explaining everything, and as guidance and mercy and good news to those who devote themselves to God

Translation 1260

God commands justice, doing good, and generosity towards relatives and He forbids what is shameful, blameworthy, and oppressive. He teaches you, so that you may take heed

Translation 1260

Fulfil any pledge you make in God’s name and do not break oaths after you have sworn them, for you have made God your surety: God knows everything you do

Translation 1260

Do not use your oaths to deceive each other- like a woman who unravels the thread she has firmly spun- just because one party may be more numerous than another. God tests you with this, and on the Day of the Resurrection He will make clear to you those things you differed about

Translation 1260

If God so willed, He would have made you all one people, but He leaves to stray whoever He will and guides whoever He will. You will be questioned about your deeds

Translation 1260

Do not use your oaths to deceive each other lest any foot should slip after being firmly placed and lest you should taste the penalty for having hindered others from the path of God, and suffer terrible torment

Translation 1260

Do not sell for a small price any pledge made in God’s name: what God has [to give] is better for you, if you only knew

Translation 1260

What you have runs out but what God has endures, and We shall certainly reward those who remain steadfast according to the best of their actions

Translation 1260

To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions

Translation 1260

[Prophet], when you recite the Quran, seek God’s protection from the outcast, Satan

Translation 1260

He has no power over those who believe and trust in their Lord

Translation 1260

his power is only over those who ally themselves with him and those who, because of him, join partners with God

Translation 1260
