Rub El Hizb 136

One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)

22:60
۞ذَٰلِكَۖ
dhalika
That
وَمَنۡ
waman
and whoever
عَاقَبَ
aqaba
has retaliated
بِمِثۡلِ
bimith'li
with the like
مَا

(of) that
عُوقِبَ
uqiba
he was made to suffer
بِهِۦ
bihi
by it
ثُمَّ
thumma
then
بُغِيَ
bughiya
he was oppressed
عَلَيۡهِ
alayhi
[on him]
لَيَنصُرَنَّهُ
layansurannahu
Allah will surely help him
ٱللَّهُۚ
al-lahu
Allah will surely help him
إِنَّ
inna
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
al-laha
Allah
لَعَفُوٌّ
la'afuwwun
(is) surely Oft-Pardoning
غَفُورٞ
ghafurun
Oft-Forgiving
٦٠

So it will be. God will help those who retaliate against an aggressive act merely with its like and are then wronged again: God is pardoning and most forgiving

Translation 1260

22:61
ذَٰلِكَ
dhalika
That
بِأَنَّ
bi-anna
(is) because
ٱللَّهَ
al-laha
Allah
يُولِجُ
yuliju
causes to enter
ٱلَّيۡلَ
al-layla
the night
فِي
fi
in (to)
ٱلنَّهَارِ
al-nahari
the day
وَيُولِجُ
wayuliju
and causes to enter
ٱلنَّهَارَ
al-nahara
the day
فِي

in (to)
ٱلَّيۡلِ
al-layli
the night
وَأَنَّ
wa-anna
And indeed
ٱللَّهَ
al-laha
Allah
سَمِيعُۢ
sami'un
(is) All-Hearer
بَصِيرٞ
basirun
All-Seer
٦١

So it will be, because God makes night pass into day, and day into night, and He is all hearing and all seeing

Translation 1260

22:62
ذَٰلِكَ
dhalika
That (is)
بِأَنَّ
bi-anna
because
ٱللَّهَ
al-laha
Allah
هُوَ
huwa
He
ٱلۡحَقُّ
al-haqu
(is) the Truth
وَأَنَّ
wa-anna
and that
مَا

yad'una
they invoke
مِن
min
besides Him
دُونِهِۦ
dunihi
besides Him
هُوَ
huwa
it
ٱلۡبَٰطِلُ
al-batilu
(is) the falsehood
وَأَنَّ
wa-anna
And that
ٱللَّهَ
al-laha
Allah
هُوَ
huwa
He
ٱلۡعَلِيُّ
al-'aliyu
(is) the Most High
ٱلۡكَبِيرُ
al-kabiru
the Most Great
٦٢

So it will be, because it is God alone who is the Truth, and whatever else they invoke is sheer falsehood: it is God who is the Most High, the Most Great

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
al-laha
Allah

All-Aware
٦٣

Have you [Prophet] not considered how God sends water down from the sky and the next morning the earth becomes green? God is truly most subtle, all aware

Translation 1260

surely He
ٱلۡغَنِيُّ

ٱلۡحَمِيدُ

the Praiseworthy

everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him; God alone is self-sufficient, worthy of all praise

Have you not considered how God has made everything on the earth of service to you? That ships sail the sea at His command? That He keeps the heavens from falling down on the earth without His permission? God is most compassionate and most merciful to mankind

[Prophet], you can see the hostility on the faces of the disbelievers when Our messages are recited clearly to them: it is almost as if they are going to attack those who recite Our messages to them. Say, ‘Shall I tell you what is far worse than what you feel now? The Fire that God has promised the disbelievers! What a dismal end!’

People, here is an illustration, so listen carefully: those you call on beside God could not, even if they combined all their forces, create a fly, and if a fly took something away from them, they would not be able to retrieve it. How feeble are the petitioners and how feeble are those they petition

Strive hard for God as is His due: He has chosen you and placed no hardship in your religion, the faith of your forefather Abraham. God has called you Muslims––both in the past and in this [message]––so that the Messenger can bear witness about you and so that you can bear witness about other people. So keep up the prayer, give the prescribed alms, and seek refuge in God: He is your protector––an excellent protector and an excellent helper
