Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to Him, and all are obedient to Him
Translation 1260
He is the One who originates creation and will do it again- this is even easier for Him. He is above all comparison in the heavens and earth; He is the Almighty, the All Wise
Translation 1260
He gives you this example, drawn from your own lives: do you make your slaves full partners with an equal share in what We have given you? Do you fear them as you fear each other? This is how We make Our messages clear to those who use their reason
Translation 1260
And still the idolaters follow their own desires without any knowledge. Who can guide those God leaves to stray, who have no one to help them
Translation 1260
So [Prophet] as a man of pure faith, stand firm and true in your devotion to the religion. This is the natural disposition God instilled in mankind- there is no altering God’s creation- and this is the right religion, though most people do not realize it
Translation 1260
Turn to Him alone, all of you. Be mindful of Him; keep up the prayer; do not join those who ascribe partners to God
Translation 1260
those who divide their religion into sects, with each party rejoicing in their own
Translation 1260
When something bad happens to people, they cry to their Lord and turn to Him for help, but no sooner does He let them taste His blessing than- lo and behold!- some of them ascribe partners to their Lord
Translation 1260
showing no gratitude for what We have given them. ‘Take your pleasure! You will come to know.’
Translation 1260
Did We send them down any authority that sanctions the partners they ascribe to God
Translation 1260
When We give people a taste of Our blessing, they rejoice, but when something bad happens to them- because of their own actions- they fall into utter despair
Translation 1260
Do they not see that God gives abundantly to whoever He will and sparingly [to whoever He will]? There truly are signs in this for those who believe
Translation 1260
So give their due to the near relative, the needy, and the wayfarer- that is best for those whose goal is God’s approval: these are the ones who will prosper
Translation 1260
Whatever you lend out in usury to gain value through other people’s wealth will not increase in God’s eyes, but whatever you give in charity, in your desire for God’s approval, will earn multiple rewards
Translation 1260
It is God who created you and provided for you, who will cause you to die and then give you life again. Which of your ‘partners’ can do any one of these things? Glory be to God, and exalted be He above the partners they attribute to Him
Translation 1260
Corruption has flourished on land and sea as a result of people’s actions and He will make them taste the consequences of some of their own actions so that they may turn back
Translation 1260
Say, ‘Travel through the land, and see how those before you met their end- most of them were idolaters.’
Translation 1260
[Prophet], stand firm in your devotion to the upright religion, before an irresistible Day comes from God. On that Day, mankind will be divided
Translation 1260
those who rejected the truth will bear the burden of that rejection, and those who did good deeds will have made good provision for themselves
Translation 1260
From His bounty God will reward those who believe and do good deeds; He does not like those who reject the truth
Translation 1260
Another of His signs is that He sends out the winds bearing good news, giving you a taste of His grace, making the ships sail at His command, enabling you to [journey in] search of His bounty so that you may be grateful
Translation 1260
Before you [Muhammad], We sent mes-sengers, each to their own people: they brought them clear proofs and then We punished the evildoers. We make it Our duty to help the believers
Translation 1260
It is God who sends out the winds; they stir up the clouds; He spreads them over the skies as He pleases; He makes them break up and you see the rain falling from them. See how they rejoice when He makes it fall upon whichever of His servants He wishes
Translation 1260
though before it is sent they may have lost all hope
Translation 1260
Look, then, at the imprints of God’s mercy, how He restores the earth to life after death: this same God is the one who will return people to life after death- He has power over all things
Translation 1260
