Rub El Hizb 115

Say, ‘[Yes] even if you were [as hard as] stone, or iron

Translation 1260

or any other substance you think hard to bring to life.’ Then they will say, ‘Who will bring us back?’ Say, ‘The One who created you the first time.’ Then they will shake their heads at you and say, ‘When will that be?’ Say, ‘It may well be very soon

Translation 1260

it will be the Day when He calls you, and you answer by praising Him, and you think you have stayed [on earth] only a little while.’

Translation 1260

[Prophet], tell My servants to say what is best. Satan sows discord among them: Satan is a sworn enemy of man

Translation 1260

Your Lord has the most knowledge about all of you: if He pleases He will have mercy on you, and if He pleases He will punish you. [Prophet], We did not send you to take charge of them

Translation 1260

Your Lord knows best about everyone in the heavens and the earth. We gave some prophets more than others: We gave David a book [of Psalms]

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Call upon those you claim to be deities beside God: they have no power to remove or avert any harm from you.’

Translation 1260

Those [angels] they pray to are themselves seeking a way to their Lord, even those who are closest to Him. They hope for His mercy and fear His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is much to be feared

Translation 1260

there is no community We shall not destroy, or punish severely, before the Day of Resurrection- this is written in the Book

Translation 1260

Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except the fact that previous peoples denied them. We gave the people of Thamud the she-camel as a clear sign, yet they maltreated it. We send signs only to give warning

Translation 1260

[Prophet], We have told you that your Lord knows all about human beings. The vision We showed you was only a test for people, as was the cursed tree [mentioned] in the Quran. We warn them, but this only increases their insolence

Translation 1260

When We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ they all bowed down, but not Iblis. He retorted, ‘Why should I bow down to someone You have created out of clay?’

Translation 1260

and [then] said, ‘You see this being You have honoured above me? If You reprieve me until the Day of Resurrection, I will lead all but a few of his descendants by the nose.’

Translation 1260

God said, ‘Go away! Hell will be your reward, and the reward of any of them who follow you- an ample reward

Translation 1260

Rouse whichever of them you can with your voice, muster your cavalry and infantry against them, share their wealth and their children with them, and make promises to them- Satan promises them nothing but delusion

Translation 1260

but you will have no authority over My [true] servants: Your Lord can take care of them well enough.’

Translation 1260

[People], it is your Lord who makes ships go smoothly for you on the sea so that you can seek His bounty: He is most merciful towards you

Translation 1260

When you get into distress at sea, those you pray to besides Him desert you, but when He brings you back safe to land you turn away: man is ever ungrateful

Translation 1260

Can you be sure that God will not have you swallowed up into the earth when you are back on land, or that He will not send a sandstorm against you? Then you will find no one to protect you

Translation 1260

Or can you be sure that He will not send you back out to sea, and send a violent storm against you to drown you for being so ungrateful? You will find no helper against Us there

Translation 1260
