Rub El Hizb 57

One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)

Allah
وَلَٰكِنَّ
walakinna
But
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
aktharahum
most of them
يَجۡهَلُونَ
yajhaluna
(are) ignorant
١١١

Even if We sent the angels down to them, and the dead spoke to them, and We gathered all things right in front of them, they still would not believe, unless God so willed, but most of them are ignorant [of this]

Translation 1260

6:112
وَكَذَٰلِكَ

And thus
جَعَلۡنَا

We made

But if
شَآءَ

(had) willed
رَبُّكَ
rabbuka
your Lord
مَا

not
فَعَلُوهُۖ
fa'aluhu
they (would) have done it
فَذَرۡهُمۡ
fadharhum
so leave them
وَمَا
wama
and what
يَفۡتَرُونَ
yaftaruna
they invent
١١٢

In the same way We assigned to each prophet an enemy, evil humans and evil jinn. They suggest alluring words to one another in order to deceive- if it had been your Lord’s will, [Prophet], they would not have done this: leave them to their inventions

Translation 1260

6:113

in the Hereafter
وَلِيَرۡضَوۡهُ
waliyardawhu
and so that they may be pleased with it

and so that they may commit
مَا

١١٣

so that the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter may incline towards their deceit, be pleased with it, and so perpetrate whatever they perpetrate

Translation 1260

6:114
أَفَغَيۡرَ
afaghayra

al-kitaba
the Book

تَكُونَنَّ
takunanna
be
مِنَ
mina
among
ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ
al-mum'tarina
the ones who doubt
١١٤

[Say], ‘Shall I seek any judge other than God, when it is He who has sent down for you [people] the Scripture, clearly explained?’ Those to whom We gave the Scripture know that this [Quran] is revealed by your Lord [Prophet] with the truth, so do not be one of those who doubt

Translation 1260

6:115
وَتَمَّتۡ

The word of your Lord is complete in its truth and justice. No one can change His words: He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing

If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you away from the path of God. They follow nothing but speculation; they are merely guessing

Why should you not eat such animals when God has already fully explained what He has forbidden you, except when forced by hunger? But many lead others astray by their desires, without any true knowledge: your Lord knows best who oversteps the limit

and do not eat anything over which God’s name has not been pronounced, for that is breaking the law. The evil ones incite their followers to argue with you: if you listen to them, you too will become idolaters

Is a dead person brought back to life by Us, and given light with which to walk among people, comparable to someone trapped in deep darkness who cannot escape? In this way the evil deeds of the disbelievers are made to seem alluring to them

When a revelation is brought before them they say, ‘We shall not believe unless we ourselves are given a revelation as God’s messengers were.’ But God knows best where to place His messages: humiliation before God and severe torment will befall the evildoers for their scheming

When God wishes to guide someone, He opens their breast to islam; when He wishes to lead them astray, He closes and constricts their breast as if they were climbing up to the skies. That is how God makes the foulness of those who do not believe rebound against them
