We have caused Our Word to come to them so that they may be mindful
Translation 1260
Those to whom We gave the Scripture before believe in it
Translation 1260
and, when it is recited to them, say, ‘We believe in it, it is the truth from our Lord. Before it came we had already devoted ourselves to Him.’
Translation 1260
They will be given their rewards twice over because they are steadfast, repel evil with good, give to others out of what We have provided for them
Translation 1260
and turn away whenever they hear frivolous talk, saying, ‘We have our deeds and you have yours. Peace be with you! We do not seek the company of ignorant people.’
Translation 1260
You [Prophet] cannot guide everyone you love to the truth; it is God who guides whoever He will: He knows best those who will follow guidance
Translation 1260
They say, ‘If we were to follow guidance with you [Prophet], we would be swept from our land.’ Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary where every kind of produce is brought, as a provision from Us? But most of them do not comprehend
Translation 1260
We have destroyed many a community that once revelled in its wanton wealth and easy living: since then their dwelling places have barely been inhabited- We are the only heir
Translation 1260
Your Lord would never destroy towns without first raising a messenger in their midst to recite Our messages to them, nor would We destroy towns unless their inhabitants were evildoers
Translation 1260
Whatever things you have been given for the life of this world are merely [temporary] gratification and vanity: that which is with God is better and more lasting- will you not use your reason
Translation 1260
Can the person who will see the fulfilment of the good promise We gave him be compared to someone We have given some enjoyments for this worldly life but who, on the Day of Resurrection, will be summoned
Translation 1260
The Day will come when God will call them, saying, ‘Where now are those you allege are My partners?’
Translation 1260
and those [ringleaders] against whom the verdict will be passed will say, ‘Our Lord, these are the ones we caused to deviate. We caused them to deviate as we ourselves deviated, but now we disown them before You: they did not really serve us.’
Translation 1260
It will then be said to them, ‘Now call those you worshipped as partners,’ and they will call them but receive no answer. They will see the suffering and wish they had followed guidance
Translation 1260
On that Day He will call them, saying, ‘How did you respond to My messengers?’
Translation 1260
All arguments will seem obscure to them on that Day; they will not be able to consult one another
Translation 1260
Yet anyone who has repented, believed, and done good deeds can hope to find himself among the successful
Translation 1260
Your Lord creates what He pleases and chooses those He will- they have no choice- so glory be to God, and may He be exalted above the partners they ascribe to Him
Translation 1260
Your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal
Translation 1260
He is God; there is no god but Him; all praise belongs to Him in this world and the next; His is the Judgement; and to Him you shall be returned
Translation 1260
Say [Prophet], ‘Just think, if God were to cast perpetual night over you until the Day of Resurrection, what god other than He could bring you light? Do you not listen?’
Translation 1260
Say, ‘Just think, if God were to cast perpetual day over you until the Day of Resurrection, what god other than He could give you night in which to rest? Do you not see
Translation 1260
In His mercy He has given you night and day, so that you may rest and seek His bounty and be grateful.’
Translation 1260
The Day will come when He will call out to them, saying, ‘Where are the partners you claimed for Me?’
Translation 1260
We shall call a witness from every community, and say, ‘Produce your evidence,’ and then they will know that truth belongs to God alone; the gods they invented will forsake them
Translation 1260
