but an evil word is like a rotten tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, with no power to endure
Translation 1260
God will give firmness to those who believe in the firmly rooted word, both in this world and the Hereafter, but the evildoers He leaves to stray: God does whatever He will
Translation 1260
[Prophet], do you not see those who, in exchange for God’s favour, offer only ingratitude and make their people end up in the home of ruin, Hell
Translation 1260
where they burn? What an evil place to stay
Translation 1260
They set up [false deities] as God’s equals to lead people astray from His path. Say, ‘Take your pleasure now, for your destination is the Fire.’
Translation 1260
Tell My servants who have believed to keep up the prayer and give, secretly and in public, out of what We have provided them, before a Day comes when there will be no trading or friendship
Translation 1260
It is God who created the heavens and earth, who has sent down water from the sky and with it brought forth produce to nourish you; He has made ships useful to you, sailing the sea by His command, and the rivers too
Translation 1260
He has made the sun and the moon useful to you, steady on their paths; He has made the night and day useful to you
Translation 1260
and given you some of everything you asked Him for. If you tried to count God’s favours you could never calculate them: man is truly unjust and ungrateful
Translation 1260
Remember when Abraham said, ‘Lord, make this town safe! Preserve me and my offspring from idolatry
Translation 1260
Lord, the [idols] have led many people astray! Anyone who follows me is with me, but as for anyone who disobeys me- You are surely forgiving and merciful
Translation 1260
Our Lord, I have established some of my offspring in an uncultivated valley, close to Your Sacred House, Lord, so that they may keep up the prayer. Make people’s hearts turn to them, and provide them with produce, so that they may be thankful
Translation 1260
Our Lord, You know well what we conceal and what we reveal: nothing at all is hidden from God, on earth or in heaven
Translation 1260
Praise be to God, who has granted me Ishmael and Isaac in my old age: my Lord hears all requests
Translation 1260
Lord, grant that I and my offspring may keep up the prayer. Our Lord, accept my request
Translation 1260
Our Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day of Reckoning.’
Translation 1260
Do not think [Prophet] that God is unaware of what the disbelievers do: He only gives them respite until a Day when their eyes will stare in terror
Translation 1260
They will rush forward, craning their necks, unable to divert their eyes, a gaping void in their hearts
Translation 1260
So warn people of the Day when punishment will come to them, and when the disbelievers will say, ‘Our Lord, give us a little more time: we shall answer Your call and follow the messengers.’ Did you [disbelievers] not swear in the past that your power would have no end
Translation 1260
You lived in the same places as others who wronged themselves before, and you were clearly shown how We dealt with them––We gave you many examples
Translation 1260
They made their plots, but, even if their plots had been able to move mountains, God had the answer
Translation 1260
So do not think [Prophet] that God will break His promise to His messengers: He is mighty, and capable of retribution
Translation 1260
One Day- when the earth is turned into another earth, the heavens into another heaven, and people all appear before God, the One, the Overpowering
Translation 1260
you [Prophet] will see the guilty on that Day, bound together in fetters
Translation 1260
in garments of pitch, faces covered in fire
Translation 1260
