One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
Exalted is He who has sent the Differentiator down to His servant so that it may be a warning to all people
Translation 1260
It is He who has control over the heavens and earth and has no offspring––no one shares control with Him––and who created all things and made them to an exact measure
Translation 1260
Yet the disbelievers take as their gods things beneath Him that create nothing, and are themselves created, that can neither harm nor help themselves, and have no control over death, life, or resurrection
Translation 1260
The disbelievers say, ‘This can only be a lie he has forged with the help of others’––they themselves have done great wrong and told lies––
Translation 1260
and they say, ‘It is just ancient fables, which he has had written down: they are dictated to him morning and evening.’
Translation 1260
Say, ‘It was sent down by Him who knows the secrets of the heavens and earth. He is all forgiving, all merciful.’
Translation 1260
They also say, ‘What sort of messenger is this? He eats food and walks about in the marketplaces! Why has no angel been sent down to help him with his warnings
Translation 1260
Why has he not been given treasure or a garden to supply his food?’ and the evildoers say, ‘The man you follow is simply under a spell.’
Translation 1260
See what they think you are like! They have gone astray and cannot find the right way
Translation 1260
Exalted is He who can, if He wishes, give you better things than these: Gardens graced with flowing streams, and palaces too
Translation 1260
It is actually the coming of the Hour that they reject: We have prepared a blazing fire for those who reject the Hour
Translation 1260
When it sees them from a distance, they will hear it raging and roaring
Translation 1260
and when they are hurled into a narrow part of it, chained together, they will cry out for death
Translation 1260
‘Do not cry out this day for one death, but for many.’
Translation 1260
Say, ‘Which is better, this or the lasting Garden that those who are mindful of God have been promised as their reward and journey’s end?’
Translation 1260
There they will find everything they wish for, and there they will stay. [Prophet], this is a binding promise from your Lord
Translation 1260
On the Day He gathers them all together with those they worship beside Him, He will say, ‘Was it you [false gods] who led these creatures of Mine astray, or did they stray from the path by themselves?’
Translation 1260
They will say, ‘May You be exalted! We ourselves would never take masters other than You! But You granted them and their forefathers pleasures in this life, until they forgot Your Reminder and were ruined.’
Translation 1260
[God will say], ‘Now your gods have denounced what you say as lies: you cannot avoid the punishment; you will not get any help.’ If any of you commits such evil, We shall make him taste agonizing torment
Translation 1260
No messenger have We sent before you [Muhammad] who did not eat food and walk about in the marketplace. But We have made some of you a means of testing others- will you stand fast? Your Lord is always watching
Translation 1260
