Rub El Hizb 117

Do they not see that God, who created the heavens and earth, can create the likes of them [anew]? He has ordained a time for them- there is no doubt about that- but the evildoers refuse everything except disbelief

Translation 1260

Say, ‘If you possessed the very stores of my Lord’s bounty, you would hold them back in your fear of spending: man is ever grudging.’

Translation 1260

In the past, We gave Moses nine clear signs- ask the Children of Israel. When Moses came to [the Egyptians], Pharaoh said to him, ‘Moses, I think you are bewitched.’

Translation 1260

He said, ‘You know very well that only the Lord of the heavens and earth could have sent these signs as clear proof. I think that you, Pharaoh, are doomed.’

Translation 1260

So he wanted to wipe them off the [face of the] earth, but We drowned him and those with him

Translation 1260

After his death, We told the Children of Israel, ‘Live in the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter is fulfilled, We shall bring you to the assembly of all people.’

Translation 1260

We sent down the Quran with the truth, and with the truth it has come down- [Prophet], We sent you only to give good news and warning

Translation 1260

it is a recitation that We have revealed in parts, so that you can recite it to people at intervals; We have sent it down little by little

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Whether you believe it or not, those who were given knowledge earlier fall down on their faces when it is recited to them

Translation 1260

and say, “Glory to our Lord! Our Lord’s promise has been fulfilled.”

Translation 1260

They fall down on their faces, weeping, and [the Quran] increases their humility.’

Translation 1260

Say [to them], ‘Call on God, or on the Lord of Mercy- whatever names you call Him, the best names belong to Him.’ [Prophet], do not be too loud in your prayer, or too quiet, but seek a middle way

Translation 1260

and say, ‘Praise belongs to God, who has no child nor partner in His rule. He is not so weak as to need a protector. Proclaim His limitless greatness!’

Translation 1260

Praise be to God, who sent down the Scripture to His servant and made it unerringly straight

Translation 1260

warning of severe punishment from Him, and [giving] glad news to the believers who do good deeds––an excellent reward

Translation 1260

that they will always enjoy

Translation 1260

It warns those people who assert, ‘God has offspring.’

Translation 1260

They have no knowledge about this, nor did their forefathers––it is a monstrous assertion that comes out of their mouths: what they say is nothing but lies

Translation 1260

But [Prophet] are you going to worry yourself to death over them if they do not believe in this message

Translation 1260

We have adorned the earth with attractive things so that We may test people to find out which of them do best

Translation 1260

but We shall reduce all this to barren dust

Translation 1260

[Prophet], do you find the Companions in the Cave and al-Raqim so wondrous, among all Our other signs

Translation 1260

When the young men sought refuge in the cave and said, ‘Our Lord, grant us Your mercy, and find us a good way out of our ordeal,’

Translation 1260

We sealed their ears [with sleep] in the cave for years

Translation 1260

Then We woke them so that We could make clear which of the two parties was better able to work out how long they had been there

Translation 1260

[Prophet], We shall tell you their story as it really was. They were young men who believed in their Lord, and We gave them more and more guidance

Translation 1260

We gave strength to their hearts when they stood up and said, ‘Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and earth. We shall never call upon any god other than Him, for that would be an outrageous thing to do

Translation 1260

These people of ours have taken gods other than Him. Why do they not produce clear evidence about them? Who could be more unjust than someone who makes up lies about God

Translation 1260

Now that you have left such people, and what they worshipped instead of God, take refuge in the cave. God will shower His mercy on you and make you an easy way out of your ordeal.’
