Alif Lam Mim
Translation 1260
Do people think they will be left alone after saying ‘We believe’ without being put to the test
Translation 1260
We tested those who went before them: God will certainly mark out which ones are truthful and which are lying
Translation 1260
Do the evildoers think they can escape us? How ill they judge
Translation 1260
But as for those who strive for their meeting with God, God’s appointed time is bound to come; He is the All Seeing, the All Knowing
Translation 1260
Those who exert themselves do so for their own benefit––God does not need His creatures––
Translation 1260
We shall certainly blot out the misdeeds of those who believe and do good deeds, and We shall reward them according to the best of their actions
Translation 1260
We have commanded people to be good to their parents, but do not obey them if they strive to make you serve, beside Me, anything of which you have no knowledge: you will all return to Me, and I shall inform you of what you have done
Translation 1260
We shall be sure to admit those who believe and do good deeds to the ranks of the righteous
Translation 1260
There are some people who say, ‘We believe in God,’ but, when they suffer for His cause, they think that human persecution is as severe as God’s punishment––yet, if any help comes to you [Prophet] from your Lord, they will say, ‘We have always been with you’. Does God not know best what is in everyone’s hearts
Translation 1260
God will be sure to mark out which ones are the believers, and which the hypocrites
Translation 1260
Those who disbelieve say to the believers, ‘Follow our path and we shall bear [the consequences for] your sins,’ yet they will not do so––they are liars
Translation 1260
They will bear their own burdens and others besides: they will be questioned about their false assertions on the Day of Resurrection
Translation 1260
We sent Noah out to his people. He lived among them for fifty years short of a thousand but when the Flood overwhelmed them they were still doing evil
Translation 1260
We saved him and those with him on the Ark. We made this a sign for all people
Translation 1260
We also sent Abraham. He said to his people, ‘Serve God and be mindful of Him: that is better for you, if only you knew
Translation 1260
What you worship instead of God are mere idols; what you invent is nothing but falsehood. Those you serve instead of God have no power to give you provisions, so seek provisions from God, serve Him, and give Him thanks: you will all be returned to Him
Translation 1260
If you say this is a lie, [be warned that] other communities before you said the same. The messenger’s only duty is to give clear warning.’
Translation 1260
Do they not see that God brings life into being and reproduces it? Truly this is easy for God
Translation 1260
Say, ‘Travel throughout the earth and see how He brings life into being: and He will bring the next life into being. God has power over all things
Translation 1260
He punishes whoever He will and shows mercy to whoever He will. You will all be returned to Him
Translation 1260
You cannot escape Him on earth or in the heavens; you will have no one to protect or help you besides God.’
Translation 1260
Those who deny God’s Revelation and their meeting with Him have no hope of receiving My grace: they will have a grievous torment
Translation 1260
The only answer Abraham’s people gave was, ‘Kill him or burn him!’ but God saved him from the Fire: there truly are signs in this for people who believe
Translation 1260
Abraham said to them, ‘You have chosen idols instead of God but your love for them will only last for the present life: on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown and reject one another. Hell will be your home and no one will help you.’
