Rub El Hizb 104

[Prophet], do you not see those who, in exchange for God’s favour, offer only ingratitude and make their people end up in the home of ruin, Hell

Translation 1260

where they burn? What an evil place to stay

Translation 1260

They set up [false deities] as God’s equals to lead people astray from His path. Say, ‘Take your pleasure now, for your destination is the Fire.’

Translation 1260

Tell My servants who have believed to keep up the prayer and give, secretly and in public, out of what We have provided them, before a Day comes when there will be no trading or friendship

Translation 1260

It is God who created the heavens and earth, who has sent down water from the sky and with it brought forth produce to nourish you; He has made ships useful to you, sailing the sea by His command, and the rivers too

Translation 1260

He has made the sun and the moon useful to you, steady on their paths; He has made the night and day useful to you

Translation 1260

and given you some of everything you asked Him for. If you tried to count God’s favours you could never calculate them: man is truly unjust and ungrateful

Translation 1260

Remember when Abraham said, ‘Lord, make this town safe! Preserve me and my offspring from idolatry

Translation 1260

Lord, the [idols] have led many people astray! Anyone who follows me is with me, but as for anyone who disobeys me- You are surely forgiving and merciful

Translation 1260

Our Lord, I have established some of my offspring in an uncultivated valley, close to Your Sacred House, Lord, so that they may keep up the prayer. Make people’s hearts turn to them, and provide them with produce, so that they may be thankful

Translation 1260

Our Lord, You know well what we conceal and what we reveal: nothing at all is hidden from God, on earth or in heaven

Translation 1260

Praise be to God, who has granted me Ishmael and Isaac in my old age: my Lord hears all requests

Translation 1260

Lord, grant that I and my offspring may keep up the prayer. Our Lord, accept my request

Translation 1260

Our Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day of Reckoning.’

Translation 1260

Do not think [Prophet] that God is unaware of what the disbelievers do: He only gives them respite until a Day when their eyes will stare in terror

Translation 1260

They will rush forward, craning their necks, unable to divert their eyes, a gaping void in their hearts

Translation 1260

So warn people of the Day when punishment will come to them, and when the disbelievers will say, ‘Our Lord, give us a little more time: we shall answer Your call and follow the messengers.’ Did you [disbelievers] not swear in the past that your power would have no end

Translation 1260

You lived in the same places as others who wronged themselves before, and you were clearly shown how We dealt with them––We gave you many examples

Translation 1260

They made their plots, but, even if their plots had been able to move mountains, God had the answer

Translation 1260

So do not think [Prophet] that God will break His promise to His messengers: He is mighty, and capable of retribution

Translation 1260

One Day- when the earth is turned into another earth, the heavens into another heaven, and people all appear before God, the One, the Overpowering

Translation 1260

you [Prophet] will see the guilty on that Day, bound together in fetters

Translation 1260

in garments of pitch, faces covered in fire

Translation 1260

[All will be judged] so that God may reward each soul as it deserves: God is swift in His reckoning

Translation 1260

This is a message to all people, so that they may be warned by it, and know that He is the only God, and so that those who have minds may take heed

Translation 1260
