Rub El Hizb 226

Nun By the pen! By all they write

Translation 1260

Your Lord’s grace does not make you [Prophet] a madman

Translation 1260

you will have a never-ending reward––

Translation 1260

truly you have a strong character––

Translation 1260

and soon you will see, as will they

Translation 1260

which of you is afflicted with madness

Translation 1260

Your Lord knows best who strays from His path and who is rightly guided

Translation 1260

So do not yield to those who deny the truth––

Translation 1260

they want you to compromise with them and then they will compromise with you––

Translation 1260

do not yield to any contemptible swearer

Translation 1260

to any backbiter, slander-monger

Translation 1260

or hinderer of good, to anyone who is sinful, aggressive

Translation 1260

coarse, and on top of all that, an imposter

Translation 1260

Just because he has wealth and sons

Translation 1260

when our revelations are recited to him, he says, ‘These are just ancient fables.’

Translation 1260

We shall brand him on the snout

Translation 1260

We have tried them as We tried the owners of a certain garden, who swore that they would harvest its fruits in the morning

Translation 1260

and made no allowance [for the Will of God]

Translation 1260

a disaster from your Lord struck the garden as they slept

Translation 1260

and by morning it was stripped bare, a desolate land

Translation 1260

Still they called each other at daybreak

Translation 1260

‘Go early to your field if you wish to gather all its fruits,’

Translation 1260

and went off, whispering

Translation 1260

‘Make sure no poor person enters the garden today!’––

Translation 1260

they left early, bent on their purpose

Translation 1260

but when they saw the garden, they said, ‘We must have lost our way

Translation 1260

No- we are ruined!’

Translation 1260

The wisest of them said, ‘Did I not say to you, “Will you not glorify God?”’

Translation 1260

they said, ‘Glory be to God, Our Lord! Truly, we were doing wrong!’

Translation 1260

and then they turned to each other in mutual reproach

Translation 1260

They said, ‘Alas for us! We have done terrible wrong

Translation 1260

but maybe our Lord will give us something better in its place: we truly turn to Him in hope.’

Translation 1260

Such is the punishment [in this life], but greater still is the punishment in the Hereafter, if only they knew

Translation 1260

There will be Gardens of bliss for those who are mindful of God

Translation 1260

Should We treat those who submit to Us as We treat those who do evil

Translation 1260

What is the matter with you? On what basis do you judge

Translation 1260

Do you have a Scripture that tells you

Translation 1260

that you will be granted whatever you choose

Translation 1260

Have you received from Us solemn oaths, binding to the Day of Resurrection, that you will get whatever you yourselves decide

Translation 1260

Ask them [Prophet] which of them will guarantee this

Translation 1260

Do they have ‘partners’ [besides God]? Let them produce their ‘partners’, if what they say is true

Translation 1260

On the Day when matters become dire, they will be invited to prostrate themselves but will be prevented from doing so

Translation 1260

and their eyes will be downcast and they will be overwhelmed with shame: they were invited to prostrate themselves when they were safe [but refused]

Translation 1260

So [Prophet] leave those who reject this revelation to Me: We shall lead them on, step by step, in ways beyond their knowledge

Translation 1260

I will allow them more time, for My plan is powerful

Translation 1260

Do you demand some reward from them that would burden them with debt

Translation 1260

Do they have knowledge of the unseen that enables them to write it down

Translation 1260

Wait patiently [Prophet] for your Lord’s judgement: do not be like the man in the whale who called out in distress

Translation 1260

if his Lord’s grace had not reached him, he would have been left, abandoned and blameworthy, on the barren shore

Translation 1260

but his Lord chose him and made him one of the Righteous

Translation 1260

The disbelievers almost strike you down with their looks when they hear the Quran. They say, ‘He must be mad!’

Translation 1260

but truly it is nothing other than a Reminder for all peoples

Translation 1260
