Fatir 35:16

Praise be to God, Creator of the heavens and earth, who made angels messengers with two, three, four [pairs of] wings. He adds to creation as He will: God has power over everything

Translation 1260

No one can withhold the blessing God opens up for people, nor can anyone but Him release whatever He withholds: He is the Almighty, the All Wise

Translation 1260

People, remember God’s grace towards you. Is there any creator other than God to give you sustenance from the heavens and earth? There is no god but Him. How can you be so deluded

Translation 1260

If they call you a liar [Prophet], many messengers before you were also called liars: it is to God that all things will be returned

Translation 1260

People! God’s promise is true, so do not let the present life deceive you. Do not let the Deceiver deceive you about God

Translation 1260

Satan is your enemy––so treat him as an enemy––and invites his followers only to enter the blazing fire

Translation 1260

Those who disbelieve will be punished severely; those who believe and do good deeds will be forgiven, and richly rewarded

Translation 1260

What about those whose evil deeds are made alluring to them so that they think they are good? God leaves whoever He will to stray and guides whoever He will. [Prophet], do not waste your soul away with regret for them: God knows exactly what they do

Translation 1260

It is God who sends forth the winds; they raise up the clouds; We drive them to a dead land and with them revive the earth after its death: such will be the Resurrection

Translation 1260

If anyone desires power, all power belongs to God; good words rise up to Him and He lifts up the righteous deed, but a severe torment awaits those who plot evil and their plotting will come to nothing

Translation 1260

It is God who created you from dust and later from a drop of fluid; then He made you into two sexes; no female conceives or gives birth without His knowledge; no person grows old or has his life cut short, except in accordance with a Record: all this is easy for God

Translation 1260

The two bodies of water are not alike- one is palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, the other salty and bitter- yet from each you eat fresh fish and extract ornaments to wear, and in each you see the ships ploughing their course so that you may seek God’s bounty and be grateful

Translation 1260

He makes the night merge into the day and the day into the night; He has subjected the sun and the moon- each runs for an appointed term. Such is God your Lord: all control belongs to Him. Those you invoke beside Him do not even control the skin of a date stone

Translation 1260

if you call them they cannot hear you; if they could hear, they could not answer you; on the Day of Resurrection they will disown your idolatry. None can inform you [Prophet] like the One who is all aware

Translation 1260

People, it is you who stand in need of God- God needs nothing and is worthy of all praise

Translation 1260

if He wills, He can do away with you and bring in a new creation

Translation 1260

that is not difficult for God

Translation 1260

No burdened soul will bear the burden of another: even if a heavily laden soul should cry for help, none of its load will be carried, not even by a close relative. But you [Prophet] can only warn those who fear their Lord, though they cannot see Him, and keep up the prayer- whoever purifies himself does so for his own benefit–– everything returns to God

Translation 1260

The blind and the seeing are not alike

Translation 1260

nor are darkness and light

Translation 1260

shade and heat are not alike

Translation 1260

nor are the living and the dead. God makes anyone He wills hear [His message]: you cannot make those in their graves hear

Translation 1260

You are only here to warn them

Translation 1260

We have sent you with the Truth as a bearer of good news and warning- every community has been sent a warner

Translation 1260

If they call you a liar, their predecessors did the same: messengers came to them with clear signs, scriptures, and enlightening revelation

Translation 1260
