and tell others not to listen [to the Quran], while they themselves keep away from it. But they ruin no one but themselves, though they fail to realize this
Translation 1260
If you could only see, when they are made to stand before the Fire, how they will say, ‘If only we could be sent back, we would not reject the revelations of our Lord, but be among the believers.’
Translation 1260
No! The truth they used to hide will become all too clear to them. Even if they were brought back, they would only return to the very thing that was forbidden to them- they are such liars
Translation 1260
They say, ‘There is nothing beyond our life in this world: we shall not be raised from the dead.’
Translation 1260
If you could only see, when they are made to stand before their Lord, how He will say, ‘Is this not real?’ They will say, ‘Yes indeed, by our Lord.’ He will say, ‘Then taste the torment for having disbelieved.’
Translation 1260
Lost indeed are those who deny the meeting with their Lord until, when the Hour suddenly arrives, they say, ‘Alas for us that we disregarded this!’ They will bear their burdens on their backs. How terrible those burdens will be
Translation 1260
The life of this world is nothing but a game and a distraction; the Home in the Hereafter is best for those who are aware of God. Why will you [people] not understand
Translation 1260
We know well that what they say grieves you [Prophet]. It is not you they disbelieve: the evildoers reject God’s revelation
Translation 1260
Other messengers were disbelieved before you, and they bore their rejection and persecution steadfastly until Our aid arrived- no one can alter God’s promises. You have already received accounts of these messengers
Translation 1260
If you find rejection by the disbelievers so hard to bear, then seek a tunnel into the ground or a ladder into the sky, if you can, and bring them a sign: God could bring them all to guidance if it were His will, so do not join the ignorant
Translation 1260
Only those who can hear will respond; as for the dead, God will raise them up, and to Him they will all be returned
Translation 1260
They also say, ‘Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘God certainly has the power to send down a sign,’ though most of them do not know
Translation 1260
all the creatures that crawl on the earth and those that fly with their wings are communities like yourselves. We have missed nothing out of the Record- in the end they will be gathered to their Lord
Translation 1260
Those who reject Our signs are deaf, dumb, and in total darkness. God leaves whoever He will to stray, and sets whoever He will on a straight path
Translation 1260
Say, ‘Think: if the punishment of God or the Hour should come to you, would you call on anyone other than God, if you are being truthful?’
Translation 1260
No indeed, it is on Him that you would call. If it were His will, He could remove whatever harm made you call on Him, and then you would forget what you now associate with Him
Translation 1260
We sent messengers before you [Prophet] to many communities and afflicted their people with suffering and hardships, so that they could learn humility
Translation 1260
If only they had learned humility when suffering came from Us! But no, their hearts became hard and Satan made their foul deeds alluring to them
Translation 1260
So, when they had forgotten the warning they had received, We opened the gates to everything for them. Then, as they revelled in what they had been given, We struck them suddenly and they were dumbfounded
Translation 1260
The evildoers were wiped out: praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
Say [Prophet], ‘Think: if God were to take away your hearing and your sight and seal up your hearts, what god other than He could restore them?’ See how We explain Our revelations in various ways, yet still they turn away
Translation 1260
Say, ‘Think: if the punishment of God should come to you, by surprise or openly, would anyone but the evildoers be destroyed?’
Translation 1260
We send messengers only to give good news and to warn, so for those who believe and do good deeds there will be no fear, nor will they grieve
Translation 1260
As for those who rejected Our signs, torment will afflict them as a result of their defiance
Translation 1260
Say, ‘I do not have the treasures of God, nor do I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me.’ Say, ‘Is a blind person like one who can see? Why will you not reflect?’
