Alif Lam Mim
Translation 1260
The Byzantines have been defeated
Translation 1260
in a nearby land. They will reverse their defeat with a victory
Translation 1260
in a few years’ time––God is in command, first and last. On that day, the believers will rejoice
Translation 1260
at God’s help. He helps whoever He pleases: He is the Mighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260
This is God’s promise: God never breaks His promise, but most people do not know
Translation 1260
they only know the outer surface of this present life and are heedless of the life to come
Translation 1260
Have they not thought about their own selves? God did not create the heavens and earth and everything between them without a serious purpose and an appointed time, yet many people deny that they will meet their Lord
Translation 1260
Have they not travelled through the land and seen how their predecessors met their end? They were mightier than them: they cultivated the earth more and built more upon it. Their own mes-sengers also came to them with clear signs: God did not wrong them; they wronged themselves
Translation 1260
Later the evildoers met a terrible end for rejecting and [repeatedly] mocking God’s revelations
Translation 1260
God brings creation into being; in the end He will reproduce it and it is to Him you will be recalled
Translation 1260
On the Day the Hour arrives, the guilty will despair
Translation 1260
and they will have no intercessors among those partners they ascribed to God- they will deny these partners
Translation 1260
When the Hour arrives, on that Day people will be separated
Translation 1260
those who believed and did good deeds will delight in a Garden
Translation 1260
while those who disbelieved and denied Our messages and the meeting of the Hereafter will be brought for punishment
Translation 1260
So celebrate God’s glory in the evening, in the morning
Translation 1260
praise is due to Him in the heavens and the earth- in the late afternoon, and at midday
Translation 1260
He brings the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living. He gives life to the earth after death, and you will be brought out in the same way
Translation 1260
One of His signs is that He created you from dust and- lo and behold!- you became human and scattered far and wide
Translation 1260
Another of His signs is that He created spouses from among yourselves for you to live with in tranquillity: He ordained love and kindness between you. There truly are signs in this for those who reflect
Translation 1260
Another of His signs is the creation of the heavens and earth, and the diversity of your languages and colours. There truly are signs in this for those who know
Translation 1260
Among His signs are your sleep, by night and by day, and your seeking His bounty. There truly are signs in this for those who can hear
Translation 1260
Among His signs, too, are that He shows you the lightning that terrifies and inspires hope; that He sends water down from the sky to restore the earth to life after death. There truly are signs in this for those who use their reason
Translation 1260
Among His signs, too, is the fact that the heavens and the earth stand firm by His command. In the end, you will all emerge when He calls you from the earth
