Hizb 44

Say [Prophet], ‘Who gives you sustenance from the heavens and earth?’ Say, ‘God does,’ and ‘[One party of us] must be rightly guided and the other clearly astray.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘You will not be ques-tioned about our sins, nor will we be questioned about what you do.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Our Lord will gather us together, then He will judge justly between us; He alone is the All Knowing Judge.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘Show me those you joined to Him as partners. No indeed! He alone is God, the Almighty, the All Wise.’

Translation 1260

We have sent you [Prophet] only to bring good news and warning to all people, but most of them do not understand

Translation 1260

And they say, ‘If what you say is true, when will this promise be fulfilled?’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘You have an appointment for a Day which you cannot put off nor bring forward, even by a single moment.’

Translation 1260

The disbelievers say, ‘We will believe neither this Qur an nor the Scriptures that came before it.’ If only you could see [Prophet] how the wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Lord, hurling reproaches at one another. Those who were oppressed will say to the oppressors, ‘If it were not for you, we would have been believers.’

Translation 1260

The oppressors will say to them, ‘Was it we who prevented you from following right guidance after it had reached you? No! You yourselves were sinners.’

Translation 1260

The oppressed will say to them, ‘No, it was your scheming, night and day, ordering us to disbelieve in God and set up rivals to Him.’ When they see the punishment, they will fall silent with regret, and We shall put iron collars on the disbelievers’ necks. Why should they be rewarded for anything other than what they have done

Translation 1260

Never have We sent a warner to a community without those among them who were corrupted by wealth saying, ‘We do not believe in the message you have been sent with.’

Translation 1260

They would say, ‘We have greater wealth and more children than you, and we shall not be punished.’

Translation 1260

Say [Prophet], ‘My Lord gives in abundance to whoever He will and sparingly to whoever He will, though most people do not understand

Translation 1260

Neither wealth nor children will bring you nearer to Us, but those who believe and do good deeds will have multiple rewards for what they have done, and will live safely in the lofty dwellings of Paradise

Translation 1260

whereas those who work against Our messages, seeking to undermine them, will be summoned to punishment.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘My Lord gives in abundance to whichever of His servants He will, and sparingly to whichever He will; He will replace whatever you give in alms; He is the best of providers.’

Translation 1260

On the Day He gathers them all together, He will say to the angels, ‘Was it you these people worshipped?’

Translation 1260

They will reply, ‘May You be exalted! You are our supporter against them! Really, they worshipped the jinn- most of them believed in them.’

Translation 1260

‘So today neither of you has any power to benefit or harm the other,’ We shall tell the evildoers, ‘Taste the torment of the fire which you called a lie.’

Translation 1260

When Our messages are recited to them, clear as they are, they say, ‘This is only a man who wants to turn you away from what your forefathers worshipped,’ and, ‘This [Quran] is nothing but lies he has made up.’ When the Truth comes to the disbelievers, they say, ‘This is just plain sorcery,’

Translation 1260

though We have not given them any books to study nor sent any warner before you

Translation 1260

Those who lived before them also denied the truth- these people have not attained even a tenth of what We gave their predecessors- they, too, rejected My messengers, and how terrible My condemnation was

Translation 1260

Say [Prophet], ‘I advise you to do one thing only: stand before God, in pairs or singly, and think: there is no sign of madness in your companion [the Prophet]- he is only warning you before severe suffering arrives.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘If I have asked you for any reward, you can keep it. It is God alone who will reward me: He is witness to everything.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘My Lord hurls the Truth down [before you]. He has full knowledge of all that is unseen.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘The Truth has come; falsehood is powerless.’

Translation 1260

Say, ‘If I go astray, that is my loss, and if I am rightly guided, it is through what my Lord has revealed to me. He is all hearing, and ever near.’

Translation 1260

[Prophet], if you could only see their terror! There will be no escape when they are seized from a nearby place

Translation 1260

they will say, ‘Now we believe in it,’ but how can they reach it from such a distant place

Translation 1260

they denied it all in the past, and threw conjecture from a faroff place

Translation 1260

when a barrier has been placed between them and what they desire, just as was done with their kind before? They were deep in doubt and suspicion

Translation 1260

Praise be to God, Creator of the heavens and earth, who made angels messengers with two, three, four [pairs of] wings. He adds to creation as He will: God has power over everything

Translation 1260

No one can withhold the blessing God opens up for people, nor can anyone but Him release whatever He withholds: He is the Almighty, the All Wise

Translation 1260

People, remember God’s grace towards you. Is there any creator other than God to give you sustenance from the heavens and earth? There is no god but Him. How can you be so deluded

Translation 1260

If they call you a liar [Prophet], many messengers before you were also called liars: it is to God that all things will be returned

Translation 1260

People! God’s promise is true, so do not let the present life deceive you. Do not let the Deceiver deceive you about God

Translation 1260

Satan is your enemy––so treat him as an enemy––and invites his followers only to enter the blazing fire

Translation 1260

Those who disbelieve will be punished severely; those who believe and do good deeds will be forgiven, and richly rewarded

Translation 1260

What about those whose evil deeds are made alluring to them so that they think they are good? God leaves whoever He will to stray and guides whoever He will. [Prophet], do not waste your soul away with regret for them: God knows exactly what they do

Translation 1260

It is God who sends forth the winds; they raise up the clouds; We drive them to a dead land and with them revive the earth after its death: such will be the Resurrection

Translation 1260

If anyone desires power, all power belongs to God; good words rise up to Him and He lifts up the righteous deed, but a severe torment awaits those who plot evil and their plotting will come to nothing

Translation 1260

It is God who created you from dust and later from a drop of fluid; then He made you into two sexes; no female conceives or gives birth without His knowledge; no person grows old or has his life cut short, except in accordance with a Record: all this is easy for God

Translation 1260

The two bodies of water are not alike- one is palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, the other salty and bitter- yet from each you eat fresh fish and extract ornaments to wear, and in each you see the ships ploughing their course so that you may seek God’s bounty and be grateful

Translation 1260

He makes the night merge into the day and the day into the night; He has subjected the sun and the moon- each runs for an appointed term. Such is God your Lord: all control belongs to Him. Those you invoke beside Him do not even control the skin of a date stone

Translation 1260

if you call them they cannot hear you; if they could hear, they could not answer you; on the Day of Resurrection they will disown your idolatry. None can inform you [Prophet] like the One who is all aware

Translation 1260

People, it is you who stand in need of God- God needs nothing and is worthy of all praise

Translation 1260

if He wills, He can do away with you and bring in a new creation

Translation 1260

that is not difficult for God

Translation 1260

No burdened soul will bear the burden of another: even if a heavily laden soul should cry for help, none of its load will be carried, not even by a close relative. But you [Prophet] can only warn those who fear their Lord, though they cannot see Him, and keep up the prayer- whoever purifies himself does so for his own benefit–– everything returns to God

Translation 1260

The blind and the seeing are not alike

Translation 1260

nor are darkness and light

Translation 1260

shade and heat are not alike

Translation 1260

nor are the living and the dead. God makes anyone He wills hear [His message]: you cannot make those in their graves hear

Translation 1260

You are only here to warn them

Translation 1260

We have sent you with the Truth as a bearer of good news and warning- every community has been sent a warner

Translation 1260
