Hizb 39

The only answer his people gave was to say, ‘Expel Lot’s followers from your town! These men mean to stay chaste!’

Translation 1260

We saved him and his family- except for his wife: We made her stay behind

Translation 1260

and We brought rain down on them. How dreadful that rain was for those who had been warned

Translation 1260

Say [Prophet], ‘Praise be to God and peace on the servants He has chosen. Who is better: God, or those they set up as partners with Him

Translation 1260

Who created the heavens and earth? Who sends down water from the sky for you- with which We cause gardens of delight to grow: you have no power to make the trees grow in them- is it another god beside God? No! But they are people who take others to be equal with God

Translation 1260

Who is it that made the earth a stable place to live? Who made rivers flow through it? Who set immovable mountains on it and created a barrier between the fresh and salt water? Is it another god beside God? No! But most of them do not know

Translation 1260

Who is it that answers the distressed when they call upon Him? Who removes their suffering? Who makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god beside God? Little notice you take

Translation 1260

Who is it that guides you through the darkness on land and sea? Who sends the winds as heralds of good news before His mercy? Is it another god beside God? God is far above the partners they put beside him

Translation 1260

Who is it that creates life and reproduces it? Who is it that gives you provision from the heavens and earth? Is it another god beside God?’ Say, ‘Show me your evidence then, if what you say is true.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘No one in the heavens or on earth knows the unseen except God.’ They do not know when they will be raised from the dead

Translation 1260

their knowledge cannot comprehend the Hereafter; they are in doubt about it; they are blind to it

Translation 1260

So the disbelievers say, ‘What! When we and our forefathers have become dust, shall we be brought back to life again

Translation 1260

We have heard such promises before, and so did our forefathers. These are just ancient fables.’

Translation 1260

[Prophet], say, ‘Travel through the earth and see how the evildoers ended up.’

Translation 1260

[Prophet], do not grieve over them; do not be distressed by their schemes

Translation 1260

They also say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled if what you say is true?’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Maybe some of what you seek to hasten is near at hand.’

Translation 1260

Your Lord is bountiful to people, though most of them are ungrateful

Translation 1260

He knows everything their hearts conceal and everything they reveal

Translation 1260

there is nothing hidden in the heavens or on earth that is not in a clear Record

Translation 1260

Truly, this Quran explains to the Children of Israel most of what they differ about

Translation 1260

and it is guidance and grace for those who believe

Translation 1260

Truly, your Lord will judge between them in His wisdom- He is the Almighty, the All Knowing

Translation 1260

so [Prophet], put your trust in God, you are on the path of clear truth

Translation 1260

You cannot make the dead hear, you cannot make the deaf listen to your call when they turn their backs and leave

Translation 1260

you cannot guide the blind out of their error: you cannot make anyone hear you except those who believe in Our signs and submit [to Us]

Translation 1260

When the verdict is given against them, We shall bring a creature out of the earth, which will tell them that people had no faith in Our revelations

Translation 1260

The Day will come when We gather from every community a crowd of those who disbelieved in Our signs and they will be led in separate groups

Translation 1260

until, when they come before Him, He will say, ‘Did you deny My messages without even taking them in? Or what were you doing?’

Translation 1260

The verdict will be given against them because of their wrongdoing: they will not speak

Translation 1260

Did they not see that We gave them the night for rest, and the day for light? There truly are signs in this for those who believe

Translation 1260

On the Day the Trumpet sounds, everyone in heaven and on earth will be terrified- except such as God wills- and all will come to Him in utter humility

Translation 1260

You will see the mountains and think they are firmly fixed, but they will float away like clouds: this is the handiwork of God who has perfected all things. He is fully aware of what you do

Translation 1260

whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with something better, and be secure from the terrors of that Day

Translation 1260

but whoever comes with evil deeds will be cast face downwards into the Fire. ‘Are you rewarded for anything except what you have done?’

Translation 1260

[Say Prophet], ‘What I am commanded to do is to serve the Sustainer of this town, which He has made inviolable. Everything belongs to Him; I am commanded to be one of those devoted to Him

Translation 1260

I am commanded to recite the Quran.’ Whoever chooses to follow the right path does so for his own good. Say to whoever deviates from it, ‘I am only here to warn.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Praise belongs to God: He will show you His signs so that you will recognize them.’ Your Lord is never unmindful of what you all do

Translation 1260

Ta Sin Mim

Translation 1260

These are the verses of the Scripture that makes things clear

Translation 1260

We recount to you [Prophet] part of the story of Moses and Pharaoh, setting out the truth for people who believe

Translation 1260

Pharaoh made himself high and mighty in the land and divided the people into different groups: one group he oppressed, slaughtering their sons and sparing their women––he was one of those who spread corruption––

Translation 1260

but We wished to favour those who were oppressed in that land, to make them leaders, the ones to survive

Translation 1260

to establish them in the land, and through them show Pharaoh, Haman, and their armies the very thing they feared

Translation 1260

We inspired Moses’ mother, saying, ‘Suckle him, and then, when you fear for his safety, put him in the river: do not be afraid, and do not grieve, for We shall return him to you and make him a messenger.’

Translation 1260

Pharaoh’s household picked him up––later to become an enemy and a source of grief for them: Pharaoh, Haman, and their armies were wrongdoers––

Translation 1260

and Pharaoh’s wife said, ‘Here is a joy to behold for me and for you! Do not kill him: he may be of use to us, or we may adopt him as a son.’ They did not realize what they were doing

Translation 1260

The next day, Moses’ mother felt a void in her heart––if We had not strengthened it to make her one of those who believe, she would have revealed everything about him––

Translation 1260

and she said to his sister, ‘Follow him.’ So she watched him from a distance, without them knowing

Translation 1260

We had ordained that he would refuse to feed from wet nurses. His sister approached them and said, ‘Shall I tell you about a household which could bring him up for you and take good care of him?’

Translation 1260

We restored him to his mother in this way, so that she might be comforted, not grieve, and know that God’s promise is true, though most of them do not know

Translation 1260

When Moses reached full maturity and manhood, We gave him wisdom and knowledge: this is how We reward those who do good

Translation 1260

He entered the city, unnoticed by its people, and found two men fighting: one from his own people, the other an enemy. The one from his own people cried out to him for help against the enemy. Moses struck him with his fist and killed him. He said, ‘This must be Satan’s work: clearly he is a misleading enemy.’

Translation 1260

He said, ‘Lord, I have wronged myself. Forgive me,’ so He forgave him; He is truly the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful

Translation 1260

He said, ‘My Lord, because of the blessings You have bestowed upon me, I shall never support those who do evil.’

Translation 1260

Next morning, he was walking in the city, fearful and vigilant, when suddenly the man he had helped the day before cried out to him for help. Moses said, ‘You are clearly a troublemaker.’

Translation 1260

As he was about to attack the man who was an enemy to both of them, the man said, ‘Moses, are you going to kill me as you killed that person yesterday? You clearly want to be a tyrant in the land; you do not intend to put things right.’

Translation 1260

Then a man came running from the furthest part of the city and said, ‘Moses, the authorities are talking about killing you, so leave- this is my sincere advice.’

Translation 1260

So Moses left the city, fearful and wary, and prayed, ‘My Lord, save me from people who do wrong.’
