One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
the worst creatures in God’s eyes are those who are [wilfully] deaf and dumb, who do not reason
Translation 1260
If God had known there was any good in them, He would have made them hear, but even if He had, they would still have turned away and taken no notice
Translation 1260
Believers, respond to God and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. Know that God comes between a man and his heart, and that you will be gathered to Him
Translation 1260
Beware of discord that harms not only the wrongdoers among you: know that God is severe in His punishment
Translation 1260
Remember when you were few, victimized in the land, afraid that people might catch you, but God sheltered you and strengthened you with His help, and provided you with good things so that you might be grateful
Translation 1260
Believers, do not betray God and the Messenger, or knowingly betray [other people’s] trust in you
Translation 1260
Be aware that your possessions and your children are only a test, and that there is a tremendous reward with God
Translation 1260
Believers, if you remain mindful of God, He will give you a criterion [to tell right from wrong] and wipe out your bad deeds, and forgive you: God’s favour is great indeed
Translation 1260
Remember [Prophet] when the disbelievers plotted to take you captive, kill, or expel you. They schemed and so did God: He is the best of schemers
Translation 1260
Whenever Our Revelation is recited to them they say, ‘We have heard all this before- we could say something like this if we wanted- this is nothing but ancient fables.’
Translation 1260
They also said, ‘God, if this really is the truth from You, then rain stones on us from the heavens, or send us some other painful punishment.’
Translation 1260
But God would not send them punishment while you [Prophet] are in their midst, nor would He punish them if they sought forgiveness
Translation 1260
yet why should God not punish them when they debar people from the Sacred Mosque, although they are not its [rightful] guardians? Only those mindful of God are its rightful guardians, but most of the disbelievers do not realize this
Translation 1260
Their prayers before the House are nothing but whistling and clapping. ‘So taste the punishment for your disbelief.’
Translation 1260
They use their wealth to bar people from the path of God, and they will go on doing so. In the end this will be a source of intense regret for them: they will be overcome and herded towards Hell
Translation 1260
God will separate the bad from the good, place the bad on top of one another- heaping them all up together- and put them in Hell. They will be the losers
Translation 1260
[Prophet], tell the disbelievers that if they desist their past will be forgiven, but if they persist, they have an example in the fate of those who went before
Translation 1260
[Believers], fight them until there is no more persecution, and all worship is devoted to God alone: if they desist, then God sees all that they do
Translation 1260
but if they pay no heed, be sure that God is your protector, the best protector and the best helper
Translation 1260
