Rub El Hizb 190

Say [Prophet], ‘Since clear evidence has come to me from my Lord I am forbidden to serve those you call upon besides God: I am commanded to submit to the Lord of the Worlds.’

Translation 1260

It is He who created you from dust, then from a drop of fluid, then from a tiny, clinging form, then He brought you forth as infants, then He allowed you to reach maturity, then He let you grow old- though some of you die sooner- and reach your appointed term so that you may reflect

Translation 1260

It is He who gives life and death, and when He ordains a thing, He says only ‘Be’ and it is

Translation 1260

[Prophet], do you see how deluded those who dispute God’s messages are

Translation 1260

those who reject the Scripture and the messages We have sent through Our messengers? They will find out

Translation 1260

when, with iron collars and chains around their necks, they are dragged

Translation 1260

into scalding water, and then burned in the Fire

Translation 1260

and asked, ‘Where now are those you called upon

Translation 1260

besides God?’ They will say, ‘They have abandoned us: those we called upon before were really nothing at all.’ ‘This is how God lets disbelievers go astray

Translation 1260

all because on earth you revelled in untruth and ran wild

Translation 1260

Enter the gates of Hell, there to remain- an evil home for the arrogant.’

Translation 1260

So be patient [Prophet], for God’s promise is sure: whether We show you part of what We have promised them in this life or whether We take your soul back to Us first, it is to Us that they will be returned

Translation 1260

We have sent other messengers before you- some We have mentioned to you and some We have not- and no messenger could bring about a sign except with God’s permission. When [the Day] God ordained comes, just judgement will be passed between them: there and then, those who followed falsehood will be lost

Translation 1260

It is God who provides livestock for you, some for riding and some for your food

Translation 1260

you have other benefits in them too. You can reach any destination you wish on them: they carry you, as ships carry you [on the sea]

Translation 1260

He shows you His signs: which of God’s signs do you still ignore

Translation 1260

Have they not travelled through the land and seen how those who lived before them met their end? They were more numerous than them, stronger than them, and made a more impressive mark on the land, yet what they achieved was of no use to them at all

Translation 1260

When messengers came to them with clear signs, they revelled in the knowledge they had, and so they were engulfed by the very punishment they mocked

Translation 1260

when they saw Our punishment, they said, ‘We believe in God alone; we reject any partner we ascribed to Him,’

Translation 1260

but believing after seeing Our punishment did not benefit them at all- this has always been God’s way of dealing with His creatures- there and then the disbelievers were lost

Translation 1260

Ha Mim

Translation 1260

A revelation from the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

Translation 1260

a Scripture whose verses are made distinct as a Quran in Arabic for people who understand

Translation 1260

giving good news and warning. Yet most of them turn away and so do not hear

Translation 1260

They say, ‘Our hearts are encased against [the faith] you call us to; our ears are heavy; there is a barrier between us and you. So you do whatever you want, and so shall we.’

Translation 1260

Say [Prophet], ‘I am only a mortal like you, [but] it has been revealed to me that your God is One. Take the straight path to Him and seek His forgiveness. Woe to the idolaters

Translation 1260

who do not pay the prescribed alms and refuse to believe in the world to come

Translation 1260

Those who believe and do good deeds will have a reward that never fails.’

Translation 1260
