Part 7
Those
among the children of
Thou
shalt see many of them make friends of the infidels. Evil the actions which their
own passions have sent on beforehand; for God is angry with them, and in
torment shall they abide for ever:
But,
if they had believed in God, and the Prophet, and the Koran which hath been
sent down to him, they had not taken them for their friends; but perverse are
most of them.
Of all
men thou wilt certainly find the Jews, and those who join other gods with God,
to be the most intense in hatred of those who believe; and thou shalt certainly
find those to be nearest in affection to them who say, "We are
Christians." This, because some of them are priests and monks, and because
they are free from pride.
And
when they hear that which hath been sent down to the Apostle, thou seest their
eyes overflow with tears at the truth they recognise therein, saying, "O
our Lord! we believe; write us down therefore with those who bear witness to
it.
And
why should we not believe in God, and in the truth which hath come down to us,
and crave that our Lord would bring us into
Therefore
hath God rewarded them for these their words, with gardens 'neath which the
rivers flow; they shall abide therein for ever:
this the reward of the righteous! But they who believe not and treat our signs
as lies shall be the inmates of Hell-fire.
O you
who believe! interdict not the healthful viands which God hath allowed you; go
not beyond this limit. God loveth not those who outstep it.
5:90 And eat of what God hath given you for
food, that which is lawful and wholesome: and
fear God, in whom you believe.
God
will not punish you for a mistaken word in your oaths:
but he will punish you in regard to an oath taken seriously. Its expiation
shall be to feed ten poor persons with such middling food as you feed your own
families with, or to clothe them; or to set free a captive. But he who cannot
find means, shall fast three days. This is the expiation of your oaths when you
shall have sworn. Keep then your oaths. Thus God maketh his signs clear to you,
that you may give thanks.
O
believers! surely wine and games of chance, and statues and the divining
arrows, are an abomination of Satan's work! Avoid them, that you may prosper.
Only
would Satan sow hatred and strife among you, by wine and games of chance, and
turn you aside from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will you not, therefore abstain from them? Obey
God and obey the Apostle, and be on your guard:
but if you turn back, know that our Apostle is only bound to deliver a plain
announcement.
No
blame shall attach to those who believe and do good works, in regard to any
food they have taken, in case they fear God and believe, and do the things that
are right, and shall still fear God and believe, and shall still fear him, and
do good; for God loveth those who do good.
O you
who believe! God will surely make trial of you with such game as you may take
with your hands, or your lances, that God may know who feareth him in secret: and whoever after this transgresseth, shall suffer
a grievous chastisement.
O
believers! kill no game while you are on pilgrimage. Whosoever among you shall
purposely kill it, shall compensate for it in domestic animals of equal value
(according to the judgment of two just persons among you), to be brought as an
offering to the Caaba; or in expiation thereof shall feed the poor; or as the
equivalent of this shall fast, that he may taste the ill consequence of his
deed. God forgiveth what is past; but whoever doth it again, God will take
vengeance on him; for God is mighty and vengeance is His.
It is
lawful for you to fish in the sea, and to eat fish, as provision for you and
for those who travel; but it is unlawful for you to hunt by land while you are
still on pilgrimage: fear you God, therefore,
before whom you shall be assembled.
God hath
appointed the Caaba, the sacred house, to be a station for mankind, and the
sacred month, and the offering, and its ornaments. This, that you may know that
God knoweth all that is in the heavens and on the earth, and that God hath
knowledge of everything. Know that God is severe in punishing, and that God is
Forgiving, Merciful.
The
Apostle is only bound to preach: and God
knoweth what you bring to light, and what you conceal
5:100 Say:
The evil and the good shall not be valued alike, even though the abundance of
evil please thee; therefore fear God, O you of understanding! that it may be
well with you.
O
believers! ask us not of things which if they were told might only pain you;
but if you ask of such things when the entire Koran shall have been sent down,
they will be declared to you: God will pardon
you for this, for God is Forgiving, Gracious. They who were before you, asked
concerning such things, and afterwards quickly disbelieved therein.
God
hath not ordained anything on the subject of Bahira, or Saiba, or Wasila, or
Hami; but the unbelievers have invented this lie against God: and most of them had no understanding.
And
when it ws said to them, "Accede to that which God hath sent down, and to
the Apostle:" they said, "Sufficient
for us in the faith in which we found our fathers." What! though their
fathers knew nothing, and had no guidance?
O
believers! take heed to yourselves. He who erreth shall not hurt you when you
have the "guidance:" to God shall
you all return, and He will tell you that which you have done.
O
believers! let there be witnesses between you, when death draweth nigh to any
of you, at the time of making the testament; two witnesses -- just men from
among yourselves, or two others of a different tribe from yourselves -- if you
be journeying the earth, and the calamity of death surprise you. You shall shut
them both up, after the prayer; and if you doubt them, they shall swear by God,
"We will not take a bribe though the party be of kin to us, neither will
we conceal the testimony of God, for then we should be among the wicked."
But if
it shall be made clear that both have been guilty of a falsehood, two others of
those who have convicted them thereof, the two nearest in blood shall stand up
in their place, and they shall swear by God, "Verily our witness is more
true than the witness of these two; neither have we advanced anything untrue,
for then should we be of the unjust."
Thus
will it be easier for men to bear a true witness, or fear lest after their oath
another oath be given. Therefore fear God and hearken; for God guideth not the
perverse.
One
day will God assemble the Apostles, and say, "What reply was made to
you?" They shall say, "We have no knowledge, but Thou art the Knower
of Secrets."
When
He shall say: O Jesus! Son of Mary! call to
mind my favour upon thee and upon thy mother, when I strengthened thee with the
Holy Spirit, that thou shouldest speak to men alike in the cradle, and when
grown up; --
5:110 And when I taught thee the Scripture,
and Wisdom, and the Law, and the Evangel: and
thou didst create of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by my leave, and
didst breathe into it, and by my leave it became a bird, and thou didst heal
the blind and the leper, by my leave; and when, by my leave, thou didst bring
forth the dead; and when I withheld the children of Israel from thee, when thou
hadst come to them with clear tokens: and such
of them as believed not said, "This is nought but plain sorcery;"
And
when I revealed unto the Apostles, "Believe on me and on my Sent
One," they said, "We believed; and bear thou witness that we are
Muslims."
Remember
when the Apostles said -- "O Jesus, son of Mary! is thy Lord able to send
down a furnished table to us out of Heaven?" He said -- "Fear God if
you be believers."
They
said -- "We desire to eat therefrom, and to have our hearts assured; and
to know that thou hast indeed spoken truth to us, and to be witnesses
thereof."
Jesus,
Son of Mary, said -- "O God, our Lord! send down a table to us out of
Heaven, that it may become a recurring festival to us, to the first of us and
to the last of us, and a sign from thee; and do thou nourish us, for thou art
the best of nourishers."
And
God said -- Verily, I will cause it to descend unto you; but whoever among you
after that shall disbelieve, I will surely chastise him with a chastisement,
wherewith I will not chastise any other creature.
And
when God shall say -- "O Jesus, Son of Mary:
hast thou said unto mankind -- 'Take me and my mother as two Gods, beside
God?'" He shall say -- "Glory be unto Thee! it is not for me to say
that which I know to be not the truth; had I said that, verily thou wouldest
have known it: Thou knowest what is in me, but
I know not what is in Thee; for Thou well knowest things unseen!
"I
spake not to them aught but that which thou didst bid me -- 'Worship God, my
Lord and your Lord;' and I was a witness of their actions while I stayed among
them; but since thou hast taken me to Thyself, Thou hast Thyself watched them,
and Thou art witness of all things:
"If
Thou punish them, they are Thy servants, and if Thou forgive them.... Thou,
verily, art the Mighty, the Wise!"
God
will say -- This day shall their truth advantage the truthful. Gardens shall
have have 'neath which the rivers flow, and remain therein for ever: God is well pleased with them and they with Him.
This shall be the great bliss.
5:120 Unto God belongeth the sovereignty of
the Heavens and of the Earth, and of all that they contain; and He hath power
over all things.

The Cattle (6)

________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise
be to God, who hath created the Heavens and the Earth, and ordained the
darkness and the light! Yet unto their Lord do the infidels give peers!
He it
is who created you of clay -- then decreed the term of your life: and with Him is another prefixed term for the
resurrection. Yet have you doubts thereof!
And He
is God in the Heavens and on the Earth! He knoweth your secrets and your
disclosures! and He knoweth what you deserve.
Never
did one single sign from among the signs of their Lord come to them, but they
turned away from it;
And
now, after it hath reached them, have they treated the truth itself as a lie.
But in the end, a message as to that which they have mocked, shall reach them.
See
they not how many generations we have destroyed before them? We had settled
them on the earth as we have not settled you, and we sent down the very heavens
upon them in copious rains, and we made the rivers to flow beneath their feet: yet we destroyed them in their sins, and raised up
other generations to succeed them.
And
had we sent down to thee a Book written on parchment, and they had touched it
with their hands, the infidels had surely said, "This is nought but plain
sorcery."
They
say, too, "Unless an angel be sent down to him...." But if we had
sent down an angel, their judgment would have come on them at once, and they
would have had no respite:
And if
we had appointed an angel, we should certainly have appointed one in the form
of a man, and we should have clothed him before them in garments like their
own.
6:10 Moreover, apostles before thee have
been laughed to scorn: but that which they laughed
to scorn encompassed the mockers among them!
Say: go through the land:
then see what hath been the end of those who treated them as liars.
Say: Whose is all that is in the Heavens and the Earth?
Say: God's. He had imposed mercy on Himself as
a law. He will surely assemble you on the Resurrection day; there is no doubt
of it. They who are the authors of their own ruin, are they who will not
believe.
His,
whatsoever hath its dwelling in the night and in the day! and He, the Hearing,
the Knowing!
Say: Other than god shall I take as Lord, maker of the
Heavens and of the Earth, who nourisheth all, and of none is nourished? Say: Verily, I am bidden to be the first of those who
surrender them to God (profess Islam): and, be
not thou of those who join gods with God.
Say: Verily, I fear, should I rebel against my Lord,
the punishment of the great day.
From
whomsoever it shall be averted on that day, He will have had mercy on him: and this will be the manifest bliss.
If God
touch thee with trouble, none can take it off but He:
and if He visit thee with good -- it is He whose power is over all things;
And He
is the Supreme over his servants; and He is the Wise, the Cognisant!
Say: What thing is weightiest in bearing witness? Say: God is witness between me and you; and this Koran
hath been revealed to me that I should warn you by it, and all whom it shall
reach,. What! will you really bear witness that there are other gods with God?
Say: I bear no such witness. Say: Verily, He is one God, and I truly am guiltless of
what you join with Him.
6:20 They to whom we have given the Book,
recognise him (Muhammad) as they do their own children:
but they who are the authors of their own perdition are they who will not
believe.
And
who more wicked than he who inventeth a lie concerning God, or who treateth our
signs as lies? Verily those wicked ones shall not prosper.
And on
"the Day" we will gather them all together:
then will we say to those who joined gods with God, "Where are those
companion-gods of yours, as you supposed them?"
Then
shall they find no other excuse than to say, "By God our Lord! we joined
not companions with Him."
Behold!
how they lie against themselves -- and the gods of their own inventing desert
them!
Some
among them hearken unto thee: but we have cast
veils over their hearts that they should not understand the Koran, and a weight
into their ears: and though they should see
all kinds of signs, they will refuse all faith in them, until when they come to
thee, to dispute with thee, the infidels say, "Verily, this is nothing but
fables of the ancients."
And
they will forbid it, and depart from it: --
but they are only the authors of their own perdition, and know it not.
If
thou couldst see when they shall be set over the fire, and shall say, "Oh!
would we might be sent back! we would not treat the signs of our Lord as lies!
we would be of the believers."
Aye!
that hath become clear to them which they before concealed; but though they
should return, they would surely go back to that which was forbidden them; for
they are surely liars!
And
they say, "There is no other than our life in this world, neither shall we
be raised again."
6:30 But if thou couldest see when they
shall be set before their Lord! He shall say to them, "Is not this it in
truth." They shall say, "Yea, by our Lord!" "Taste
then," saith He, "the torment, for that you believed not!"
Lost
are they who deny the meeting with God until "the Hour" cometh
suddenly upon them! Then will they say, "Oh, our signs for past negligence
of this hour!" and they shall bear their burdens on their back! Will not
that be evil with which they shall be burdened?
The
life in this world is but a play and pastime; and better surely for men of
godly fear will be the future mansion! Will you not then comprehend?
Now
know we that what they speak vexeth thee: But
it is not merely thee whom they charge with falsehood, but the ungodly gainsay
the signs of God.
Before
thee have apostles already been charged with falsehood:
but they bore the charge and the wrong with constancy, till our help came to
them; -- for none can change the words of God. But this history of His Sent
Ones hath already reached thee.
But if
their estrangement be grievous to thee, and if thou art able to seek out an
opening into the earth or a ladder into Heaven, that thou mightest bring them a
sign.... Yes! But if God pleased, He would surely bring them, one and all, to
the guidance! therefore be not thou one of the ignorant.
To
those only who shall lend an ear will He make answer:
as for the dead, God will raise them up; then unto Him shall they return.
They
say, "Unless a sign be sent down to him from his Lord...." Say: Verily, God is able to send down a sign; but the
greater part of them know it not.
No kind
of beast is there on earth nor fowl that flieth with its wings, but is a folk
like you: nothing have we passed over in the
Book: then unto their Lord shall they be
gathered.
They
who gainsay our signs are deaf, and dumb, in darkness:
God will mislead whom He pleaseth, and whom He pleaseth He will place upon the
straight path.
6:40 Say:
What think you? If the punishment of God were to come upon you, or "the
Hour" were to come upon you, will you cry to any other than God? Tell me,
if you speak the truth?
Yes!
to Him will you cry: and if He please He will
deliver you from that you shall cry to Him to avert, and you shall forget the
partners you have joined with Him.
Already
have we sent apostles to nations that were before thee, and we laid hold on them
with troubles and with straits in order that they might humble themselves:
Yet,
when our trouble came upon them, they did not humble themselves; but their
hearts were hardened, and Satan pre-arranged for them their course of conduct.
And
when they had forgotten their warnings, we set open to them the gates of all
things, until, as they were rejoicing in our gifts, we suddenly laid hold upon
them, and lo! they were plunged into despair.
And
the uttermost part of that impious people was cut off. All praise be to God,
the Lord of the Worlds!
Say: What think you? If God should take away your
hearing and your sight and set a seal upon your hearts, what god beside God
would restore them to you? See! how we vary our wondrous verses (signs)! yet
they turn away from them!
Say: What think you? If the punishment of God come on
you suddenly or foreseen, shall any perish except the impious?
We
send not our Sent Ones but as heralds of good news and warners; and whoso shall
believe and amend, on them shall come no fear, neither shall they be sorrowful:
But
whoso shall charge our signs with falsehood, on them shall fall a punishment
for their wicked doings.
6:50 Say:
I say not to you, "In my possession are the treasures of God;"
neither say I, "I know things secret;" neither do I say to you,
"Verily, I am an angel:" Only what
is revealed to me do I follow. Say: Shall the
blind and the seeing be esteemed alike? Will you not then reflect?
And
warn those who dread their being gathered to their Lord, that patron or intercessor
they shall have none but Him, -- to the intent that they may fear Him!
And
thrust not thou away those who cry to their Lord at morn and even, craving to
behold his face. It is not for thee in anything to judge of their motives, nor
for them in anything to judge of thee. If thou thrust them away thou wilt be of
the doers of wrong.
Thus
have we made proof of some of them by others, that they may say, "Are
these they among us to whom God hath been gracious?" Doth not God best
know the thankful?
And when
they who believe in our signs come to thee, Say:
Peace be upon you! Your Lord hath laid down for himself a law of mercy; so that
if any one of you commit a fault through ignorance, and afterwards turn and
amend, He surely will be Gracious, Merciful.
Thus
have we distinctly set forth our signs, that the way of the wicked might be
made known.
Say: Forbidden am I to worship those whom you call on
beside God. Say: I will not follow your
wishes; for then should I have gone astray, and should not be of the guided.
Say: I act upon proofs from my Lord, but you treat them
as falsehoods. That punishment which you desire to be hastened is not in my
power; judgment is with God only: He will
declare the truth; and He is the best settler of disputes.
Say: If what you would hasten on, were in my power, the
matter between me and you had been decided:
but God best knoweth the impious.
And
with Him are the keys of the secret things; none knoweth them but He: He knoweth whatever is on the land and in the sea;
and no leaf falleth but He knoweth it; neither is there a grain in the
darknesses of the earth, nor a thing green or sere, but it is noted in a
distinct writing.
6:60 It is He who taketh your souls at
night, and knoweth what you have merited in the day:
then he awaketh you therein, that the set life-term may be fulfilled: then unto Him shall you return; and then shall he
declare to you that which you have wrought.
Supreme
over his servants He sendeth forth guardians who watch over you, until, when
death overtaketh any one of you, our messengers take his soul, and fail not:
Then
are they returned to God their Lord, the True. Is not judgment His? Swiftest
He, of those who take account!
Say: Who rescueth you from the darkness of the land and
of the sea, when humbly and secretly you cry to Him -- "If thou rescue us
from this, we will surely be of the thankful?"
Say: God rescueth you from them, and from every strait: yet afterwards you give Him companions!
Say: It is He who hath power to send on you a
punishment from above you, or from beneath your feet, or to clothe you with
discord, and to make some of you to taste the violence of others. See how
variously we handle the wondrous verses, that haply they may become wise!
But thy
people hath accused the Koran of falsehood, though it be the truth: Say: I am not in
charge of you: To every prophecy is its set
time, and bye-and-bye you shall know it!
And
when thou seest those who busy themselves with cavilling at our signs, withdraw
from them till they busy themselves in some other subject: and if Satan cause thee to forget this, sit not,
after recollection, with the ungodly people:
Not
that they who fear God are to pass any judgment upon them, but the object of
recollection is that they may continue to fear Him.
And
quit those who make their religion a sport and a pastime, and whom this present
life hath deceived: warn them hereby that
every soul will be consigned to doom for its own works:
patron or intercessor, beside God, shall it have none:
and could it compensate with fullest compensation, it would not be accepted
from it. They who for their deeds shall be consigned to doom -- for them are
draughts of boiling water, and a grievous torment; for that they believed not!
6:70 Say:
Shall we, beside God, call upon those who can neither help nor hurt us? Shall
we turn upon our heel after that God hath guided us? Like some bewildered man
whom the Satans have spell-bound in the desert, though his companions call him to
the true guidance, with, "Come to us!" Say:
Verily, guidance from God, that is the true guidance; and we are commanded to
surrender ourselves to the Lord of the Worlds.
And
observe you the times of prayer, and fear you God:
for it is He to whom you shall be gathered.
And it
is He who hath created the Heavens and the Earth, in truth, and when He saith
to a thing, "Be," it is.
His
word is the truth: and His the kingdom, on the
day when there shall be a blast on the trumpet:
He knoweth alike the unseen and the seen: and
He is the Wise, the Cognisant.
And
remember when Abraham said to his father Azar, Takest thou images as gods?
Verily, I see that thou and thy people are in manifest error.
And
thus did we shew Abraham the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth, that he
might be stablished in knowledge.
And
when the night overshadowed him, he beheld a star. "This," said he,
"is my Lord:" but when it set, he
said, "I love not gods which set."
And
when he beheld the moon uprising, "This," said he, "is my Lord:" but when it set, he said, "Surely, if
my Lord guide me not, I shall surely be of those who go astray."
And
when he beheld the sun uprise, he said, "This is my Lord; this is
greatest." But when it set, he said, "O my people! I share not with
you the guilt of joining gods with God;
I turn
my face to him who hath created the Heavens and the Earth, following the right
religion: I am not one of those who add gods
to God.
6:80 And his people disputed with him. --
He said: "Dispute you with me about God,
when He hath guided me? And I fear not the deities whom you join with Him, for
only by the will of my Lord have they any power:
My Lord embraceth all things in His knowledge. Will you not then consider?
And
how should I fear what you have joined with God, since you fear not for having
joined with Him that for which He hath sent you down no warranty? Which,
therefore, of the two parties is more worthy of safety? Know you that?
They
who believe, and who clothe not their faith with error. theirs is safety, and
they are guided aright."
This
is our reasoning with which we furnished Abraham against his people: We uplift to grades of wisdom whom we will; Verily
thy Lord is Wise, Knowing.
And we
gave him Isaac and Jacob, and guided both aright; and we had before guided
Noah; and among the descendants of Abraham, David and Solomon, and Job and
Joseph, and Moses and Aaron: Thus do we
recompense the righteous:
And
Zachariah, John, Jesus, and Elias: all were
just persons:
And
Ismael and Elisha and Jonas and
And
some of their fathers, and of their offspring, and of their brethren: and we chose them, and guided them into the
straight way.
This
is God's guidance: He guideth by it such of
his servants as he will: But if they join
other gods with Him, vain assuredly shall be all their works.
These
are they to whom we gave the Scripture and Wisdom and Prophecy: but if these their posterity believe not therein,
we will entrust these gifts to a people who will not disbelieve therein.
6:90 These are they whom God hath guided: follow therefore their guidance. Say: No pay do I ask of you for this: Verily it is no other than the teaching for all
creatures.
No
just estimate do they form of God when they say, "Nothing hath God sent
down to man." Say: Who sent down the Book
which Moses brought, a light and guidance to man, which you set down on paper,
publishing part, but concealing most; though you have now been taught that
which neither you nor your fathers knew? Say:
It is God: then leave them in their pastime of
cavillings.
And
this Book which we have sent down is blessed, confirming that which was before
it; and in order that thou mightest warn the mother-city and those who dwell
round about it. They who believe in the next life will believe in It, and will
keep strictly to their Prayers.
But is
any more wicked than he who deviseth a lie of God, or saith, "I have had a
revelation," when nothing was revealed to him? And who saith, "I can
bring down a book like that which God hath sent down"? But couldst thou
see when the ungodly are in the floods of death, and the angels reach forth
their hands saying, "Yield up your souls:
-- this day shall you be recompensed with a humiliating punishment for your
untrue sayings about God, and for proudly rejecting his signs!"
"And
now are you come back to us, alone, as we created you at first, and you leave
behind you the good things which we had given you, and we see not with you your
intercessors whom you regarded as the companions of God among you. There is a
severance between you now, and those whom you regarded as partners with God
have deserted you."
Verily
God causeth the grain and the date stone to put forth:
He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and the dead from the living! This
is God! Why, then, are you turned aside from Him?
He
causeth the dawn to appear, and hath ordained the night for rest, and the sun
and the moon for computing time! The ordinance of the Mighty, the Wise!
And it
is He who hath ordained the stars for you that you may be guided thereby in the
darknesses of the land and of the sea! clear have we made our signs to men of
knowledge.
And it
is He who hath produced you from one man, and hath provided for you an abode
and resting-place! Clear have we made our signs for men of insight.
And it
is He who sendeth down rain from Heaven: and
we bring forth by it the buds of all the plants, and from them bring we forth
the green foliage, and the close growing grain, and palm trees with sheaths of
clustering dates, and gardens of grapes, and the olive and the pomegranate,
like and unlike. Look you on their fruits when they fruit and ripen. Truly
herein are signs unto people who believe.
6:100 Yet have they assigned the Djinn to
God as his associates, though He created them; and in their ignorance have they
falsely ascribed to him sons and daughters. Glory be to Him! And high let Him
be exalted above that which they attribute to Him!
Sole
maker of the Heavens and of the Earth! how, when He hath no consort, should He
have a son? He hath created everything, and He knoweth everything!
This
God your Lord. There is no God but He, the creator of all things: therefore worship Him alone; -- and He watcheth
over all things.
No
vision taketh in Him, but He taketh in all vision:
and He is the Subtile, the All-informed.
Now
have proofs that may be seen, come to you from your Lord; whoso seeth them, the
advantage will be his own: and whoso is blind
to them, his own will be the loss: I am not
made a keeper over you.
Thus
variously do we apply our signs, that they may say, " Thou hast studied
deep:" and that to people of
understanding we may make them clear.
Follow
thou that which hath been revealed to thee by thy Lord:
there is no god but He! and withdraw from those who join other gods with Him.
Had
God pleased, they had not joined other gods with Him:
and we have not made thee keeper over them, neither art thou a guardian over
them.
Revile
not those whom they call on beside God, lest they, in their ignorance,
despitefully revile Him. Thus have we planned out their actions for every
people; then shall they return to their Lord, and He will declare to them what
those actions have been.
With
their most solemn oath have they sworn by God, that if a sign come unto them
they will certainly believe it; Say: Signs are
in the power of God alone; and He teacheth you not thereby, only because when
they were wrought, you did not believe.
6:110 And we will turn their hearts and
their eyes away from the truth, because they did not believe therein at first,
and we will leave them in their transgressions, wandering in perplexity.
