Rub El Hizb 196

It is not granted to any mortal that God should speak to him except through revelation or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to reveal by His command what He will: He is exalted and wise

Translation 1260

So We have revealed a spirit to you [Prophet] by Our command: you knew neither the Scripture nor the faith, but We made it a light, guiding with it whoever We will of Our servants. You give guidance to the straight path

Translation 1260

the path of God, to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and earth: truly everything will return to God

Translation 1260

Ha Mim

Translation 1260

By the Scripture that makes things clear

Translation 1260

We have made it a Quran in Arabic so that you [people] may understand

Translation 1260

It is truly exalted in the Source of Scripture kept with Us, and full of wisdom

Translation 1260

Should We ignore you and turn this revelation away from you because you are insolent people

Translation 1260

We have sent many a prophet to earlier people

Translation 1260

and they mocked every one of them

Translation 1260

so We have destroyed mightier people than [the disbelievers of Mecca] and their example has gone down in history

Translation 1260

If you [Prophet] ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and earth?’ they are sure to say, ‘They were created by the Almighty, the All Knowing.’

Translation 1260

It is He who smoothed out the earth for you and traced out routes on it for you to find your way

Translation 1260

who sends water down from the sky in due measure––We resurrect dead land with it, and likewise you will be resurrected from the grave––

Translation 1260

who created every kind of thing, who gave you ships and animals to ride on

Translation 1260

so that you may remember your Lord’s grace when you are seated on them and say, ‘Glory be to Him who has given us control over this; we could not have done it by ourselves

Translation 1260

Truly it is to our Lord that we are returning.’

Translation 1260

Yet they assign some of His own servants to Him as offspring!Man is clearly ungrateful

Translation 1260

Has He taken daughters for Himself and favoured you with sons

Translation 1260

When one of them is given news of the birth of a daughter, such as he so readily ascribes to the Lord of Mercy, his face grows dark and he is filled with gloom

Translation 1260

‘Someone who is brought up amongst trinkets, who cannot put together a clear argument?’

Translation 1260

They consider the angels- God’s servants- to be female. Did they witness their creation? Their claim will be put on record and they will be questioned about it

Translation 1260

They say, ‘If the Lord of Mercy had willed it, we would not have worshipped them,’ but they do not know that- they are only guessing

Translation 1260

or have We perhaps given them a book before this one, to which they hold fast

Translation 1260

No indeed! They say, ‘We saw our fathers following this tradition; we are guided by their footsteps.’

Translation 1260

When-ever We sent a messenger before you to warn a township, those corrupted by wealth said, in the same way, ‘We saw our fathers following this tradition; we are only following in their footsteps.’
