Part 24
Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allâh,
and denies the truth [this Qur'ân, the Prophet (Muhammad SAW), and the Islâmic
Monotheism] when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the
disbelievers? (32) And he (Muhammad SAW) who has brought the truth (this Qur'ân and
Islâmic Monotheism) and (those who) believed therein (i.e. the true believers
of Islâmic Monotheism), those are Al- Muttaqûn (the pious and righteous persons
- see V.2:2) (33) They shall have all that they will desire with their Lord. That
is the reward of Muhsinûn (good-doers - see the footnote of V.9:120) (34) So that Allâh may
expiate from them the evil of what they did and give them the reward, according
to the best of what they used to do[] (35) Is not Allâh Sufficient for His slave?
Yet they try to frighten you with those (whom they worship) besides Him! And
whom Allâh sends astray, for him there will be no guide. (36) And whomsoever Allâh
guides, for him there will be no misleader. Is not Allâh All-Mighty, Possessor
of Retribution? (37) And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and
the earth?" Surely, they will say: "Allâh (has created them)."
Say: "Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allâh, if Allâh
intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm, or if He (Allâh) intended
some mercy for me, could they withhold His Mercy?" Say : "Sufficient
for me is Allâh; in Him those who trust (i.e. believers) must put their
trust[]." (38) Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "O My people! Work according to your
way, I am working (according to my way). Then you will come to know, (39) "To whom comes a
disgracing torment, and on whom descends an everlasting torment." (40)
Verily, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad SAW) the Book (this
Qur'ân) for mankind in truth. So whosoever accepts the guidance, it is only for
his ownself, and whosoever goes astray, he goes astray only for his (own) loss.
And you (O Muhammad SAW) are not a Wakîl (trustee or disposer of affairs, or
guardian) over them.[] (41) It is Allâh Who takes away the souls at the time of their
death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for
which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in
this are signs for a people who think deeply. (42) Have they taken
(others) as intercessors besides Allâh? Say: "Even if they have power over
nothing whatever and have no intelligence?" (43) Say: "To Allâh
belongs all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth,
Then to Him you shall be brought back." (44) And when Allâh Alone is
mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with
disgust (from the Oneness of Allâh (<><>) and when those (whom they
obey or worship) besides Him [like all false deities other than Allâh, it may
be a Messenger, an angel, a pious man, a jinn, or any other creature even
idols, graves of religious people, saints, priests, monks and others] are
mentioned, behold, they rejoice![] (45) Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O Allâh! Creator
of the heavens and the earth! All-Knower of the Ghaib (unseen) and the seen.
You will judge between your slaves about that wherein they used to
differ." (46) And those who did wrong (the polytheists and disbelievers in the
Oneness of Allâh), if they had all that is in earth and therewith as much
again, they verily, would offer it to ransom themselves therewith on the Day of
Resurrection from the evil torment, and there will become apparent to them from
Allâh, what they had not been reckoning[] (47)
And the evils of that which they earned will become apparent to
them, and that which they used to mock at will encircled them. (48) When harm touches
man, he calls to Us (for help), then when We have (rescued him from that harm
and) changed it into a favour from Us, he says: "Only because of knowledge
(that I possess) I obtained it." Nay, it is only a trial, but most of them
know not! (49) Verily, those before them said it, yet (all) that they had
earned availed them not. (50) So, the evil results of that which they
earned overtook them. And those who did wrong of these [people to whom you
(Muhammad SAW) have been sent], will also be overtaken by the evil results
(torment) for that which they earned, and they will never be able to escape[].
(51) Do they not know that
Allâh enlarges the provision for whom He wills, and straitens it (for whom He
wills). Verily, in this are signs for the folk who believe! (52) Say: "O 'Ibâdî
(My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds
and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins.
Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful[] (53) "And turn in
repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islâmic Monotheism) to your Lord
and submit to Him, (in Islâm), before the torment comes upon you, (and) then
you will not be helped. (54) "And follow the best of that which is
sent down to you from your Lord (i.e. this Qur'ân, do what it orders you to do
and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes on you suddenly
while you perceive not!" (55) Lest a person should say: "Alas, my
grief that I was undutiful to Allâh (i.e. I have not done what Allâh has
ordered me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked [at the truth! i.e.
Lâ ilâha illallâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), the Qur'ân,
and Muhammad SAW and at the faithful believers] (56)
Or (lest) he should say: "If only Allâh had guided me, I
should indeed have been among the Muttaqûn (pious and righteous persons - see
V.2:2)." (57) Or (lest) he should
say when he sees the torment: "If only I had another chance (to return to
the world) then I should indeed be among the Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112)." (58) Yes! Verily, there
came to you My Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.) and you denied them, and were proud and were among the disbelievers. (59) And on the Day of
Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allâh (i.e. attributed to Him
sons, partners) — their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for
the arrogant? (60) And Allâh will deliver those who are the Muttaqûn (pious - see
V.2:2) to their places of
success (
And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and
all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allâh wills. Then it
will blown a second time and behold, they will be standing, looking on
(waiting)[]. (68) And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allâh, when
He will come to judge among men) and the Book will be placed (open) and the
Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged
between them with truth, and they will not be wronged. (69) And each person will
be paid in full of what he did; and He is Best Aware of what they do. (70) And those who disbelieved
will be driven to Hell in groups, till, when they reach it, the gates thereof
will be opened (suddenly like a prison at the arrival of the prisoners). And
its keepers will say, "Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves,
reciting to you the Verses of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of this
Day of yours?" They will say: "Yes, but the Word of torment has been
justified against the disbelievers![]" (71) It will be said (to
them): "Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein. And (indeed) what
an evil abode of the arrogant!" (72) And those who kept their duty to their
Lord will be led to
And you will see the angels
surrounding the Throne (of Allâh) from all round, glorifying the praises of
their Lord (Allâh). And they (all the creatures) will be judged with truth, and
it will be said. All the praises and thanks are to Allâh, the Lord of the
'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)." (75)
Al-Ghafir
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hâ-Mîm [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and none
but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings]. (1) The revelation of the Book (this
Qur'ân) is from Allâh the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. (2) The Forgiver of sin,
the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of
favours), Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to
Him is the final return. (3) None disputes in the Ayât (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh but those who disbelieve.
So let not their ability of going about here and there through the land (for
their purposes) deceive you [O Muhammad SAW, for their ultimate end will be the
Fire of Hell]! (4) The people of Nûh (Noah) and the confederates after them denied
(their Messengers) before these, and every (disbelieving) nation plotted
against their Messenger to seize him, and disputed by means of falsehood to
refute therewith the truth. So I seized them (with punishment), and how
(terrible) was My punishment! (5) Thus has the Word of your Lord been justified
against those who disbelieved, that they will be the dwellers of the Fire[] (6) Those (angels) who
bear the Throne (of Allâh) and those around it glorify the praises of their
Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the
Oneness of Allâh) (saying): "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy
and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them
from the torment of the blazing Fire! (7)
"Our Lord! And make
them enter the 'Adn (Eden)
This Day shall every person
be recompensed for what he earned. This day no injustice (shall be done to
anybody). Truly, Allâh is Swift in reckoning. (17) And warn them (O
Muhammad SAW) of the Day that is drawing near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection),
when the hearts will be choking the throats, and they can neither return them
(hearts) to their chests nor can they throw them out. There will be no friend,
nor an intercessor for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers), who could be
given heed to. (18) Allâh knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts
conceal. (19) And Allâh judges with truth, while those to whom they invoke
besides Him, cannot judge anything. Certainly, Allâh! He is the All-Hearer, the
All-Seer. (20) Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of
those who were before them? They were superior to them in strength, and in the
traces (which they left) in the land. But Allâh seized them with punishment for
their sins. And none had they to protect them from Allâh. (21) That was because
there came to them their Messengers with clear evidences, (proofs and signs) but
they disbelieved (in them). So Allâh seized them (with punishment). Verily, He
is All-Strong, Severe in punishment. (22) And indeed We sent Mûsa (Moses) with
Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and a
manifest authority, (23) To Fir'aun (Pharaoh), Hâmân and Qârûn (Korah), but they
called (him): "A sorcerer, a liar!" (24) Then, when he brought
them the Truth from Us, they said: "Kill the sons of those who believe
with him and let their women live", but the plots of disbelievers are
nothing but in vain! (25)
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said:
"Leave me to kill Mûsa (Moses), and let him call his Lord (to stop me from
killing him)! I fear that he may change your religion, or that he may cause
mischief to appear in the land!" (26) Mûsa (Moses) said: "Verily, I
seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant who believes not in
the Day of Reckoning!" (27) And a believing man of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)
family, who hid his faith said: "Would you kill a man because he says: My
Lord is Allâh, and he has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord?
And if he is a liar, upon him will be (the sin of) his lie; but if he is
telling the truth, then some of that (calamity) wherewith he threatens you will
befall on you." Verily, Allâh guides not one who is a Musrif (a
polytheist, or a murderer who shed blood without a right, or those who commit
great sins, oppressor, transgressor), a liar! (28) "O my people!
Yours is the kingdom today, you being dominant in the land. But who will save
us from the Torment of Allâh, should it befall us?" Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
said: "I show you only that which I see (correct), and I guide you only to
the path of right policy!" (29) And he who believed said: "O my people!
Verily, I fear for you a fate like that day (of disaster) of the Confederates
(of old)! (30) "Like the fate of the people of Nûh (Noah), and 'Ad, and
Thamûd and those who came after them. And Allâh wills no injustice for (His)
slaves. (31) "And, O my people! Verily! I fear for you the Day when
there will be mutual calling (between the people of Hell and of
And indeed Yûsuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with
clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you,
till when he died you said: "No Messenger will Allâh send after him."
Thus Allâh leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, an oppressor, a
criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtâb (one who doubts Allâh's
Warning and His Oneness). (34) Those who dispute about the Ayât (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, without any
authority that has come to them, it is greatly hateful and disgusting to Allâh
and to those who believe. Thus does Allâh seal up the heart of every arrogant,
tyrant. (So they cannot guide themselves to the Right Path). (35) And Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
said: "O Hâmân! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways,— (36) "The ways of the
heavens, and I may look upon the Ilâh (God) of Mûsa (Moses) But verily, I think
him to be a liar." Thus it was made fair-seeming, in Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)
eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the (Right) Path, and the
plot of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him). (37) And the man who
believed said: "O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of
right conduct [i.e. guide you to Allâh's religion of Islâmic Monotheism with
which Mûsa (Moses) has been sent] (38) "O my people! Truly, this life of the
world is nothing but a (quick passing) enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter
that is the home that will remain forever." (39) "Whosoever does
an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof, and whosoever does
a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness
of Allâh), such will enter
"And O my people! How is it that I call you to salvation
while you call me to the Fire! (41) "You invite me to disbelieve in Allâh
(and in His Oneness), and to join partners in worship with Him of which I have
no knowledge, and I invite you to the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving! (42) "No doubt you
call me to (worship) one who cannot grant (me) my request (or respond to my
invocation) in this world or in the Hereafter. And our return will be to Allâh,
and Al-Musrifûn (i.e. polytheists and arrogants, those who commit great sins,
the transgressors of Allâh's set limits)! they shall be the dwellers of the
Fire! (43) "And you will remember what I am telling you, and my affair
I leave it to Allâh. Verily, Allâh is the All-Seer of (His) slaves." (44) So Allâh saved him
from the evils that they plotted (against him), while an evil torment
encompassed Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people. (45) The Fire; they are exposed to it,
morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it
will be said to the angels): "Cause Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people to enter
the severest torment!" (46) And, when they will dispute in the Fire, the
weak will say to those who were arrogant;"Verily! We followed you, can you
then take from us some portion of the Fire?" (47) Those who were
arrogant will say: "We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily Allâh has
judged between (His) slaves!" (48) And those in the Fire will say to the keepers
(angels) of Hell: "Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a
day!" (49)
They will say: "Did there not come to you, your Messengers
with (clear) evidences (and signs)? They will say: "Yes." They will
reply: "Then call (as you like)! And the invocation of the disbelievers is
nothing but in vain (as it will not be answered by Allah)!" (50) Verily, We will
indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of
Allâh — Islâmic Monotheism) in this world's life and on the Day when the
witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection),— (51) The Day when their
excuses will be of no profit to Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers and
disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh). Theirs will be the curse, and theirs
will be the evil abode (i.e. painful torment in Hell-fire). (52) And, indeed We gave
Mûsa (Moses) the guidance, and We caused the Children of
Verily, the Hour (Day of Judgement) is surely coming, there is no
doubt it, yet most men believe not. (59) And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e.
believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will
respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not
invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely
enter Hell in humiliation!" (60) Allâh, it is He Who has made the night for
you that you may rest therein and the day for you to see. Truly, Allâh is full
of Bounty to mankind, yet most of mankind give no thanks. (61) That is Allâh, your
Lord, the Creator of all things, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He), How here then are you turning away (from Allâh, by
worshipping others instead of Him)! (62) Thus were turned away those who used to deny
the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of
Allâh. (63) Allâh, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling
place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes
good (looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allâh, your Lord,
so Blessed is Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that
exists). (64) He is the Ever Living, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to
be worshipped but He), so invoke Him making your worship pure for Him Alone (by
worshipping Him Alone, and none else, and by doing righteous deeds sincerely
for Allâh's sake only, and not to show off, and not to setting up rivals with
Him in worship). All the praises and thanks are to Allâh, the Lord of the
'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists) (65) Say (O Muhammad SAW):
"I have been forbidden to worship those whom you worship besides Allâh,
since there have come to me evidences from my Lord, and I am commanded to
submit (in Islâm) to the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
(66)
It is He, Who has created you (Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah
[mixed semen drops of male and female sexual discharge (i.e. Adam's offspring)]
then from a clot (a piece of coagulated blood), then brings you forth as
infant, then (makes you grow) to reach the age of full strength, and afterwards
to be old (men and women),— though some among you die before,— and that you
reach an appointed term, in order that you may understand[]. (67) He it is Who gives
life and causes death. And when He decides upon a thing He says to it only:
"Be!" — and it is. (68) See you not those who dispute about the Ayât
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh? How
are they turning away (from the truth, i.e. Islâmic Monotheism to the falsehood
(i.e. polytheism)? (69) Those who deny the Book (this Qur'ân), and that with
which We sent Our Messengers (i.e. to worship none but Allâh Alone sincerely,
and to reject all false deities and to confess resurrection after the death for
recompense) they will come to know (when they will be cast into the Fire of
Hell). (70) When iron collars will be rounded over their necks, and the
chains, they shall be dragged along[] (71) In the boiling water, then they will
be burned in the Fire[]. (72) Then it will be said to them: "Where are
(all) those whom you used to join in worship as partners[]. (73) "Besides
Allâh"? They will say: "They have vanished from us: Nay, we did not
invoke (worship) anything before." Thus Allâh leads astray the disbelievers.[]
(74) That was because you
had been exulting in the earth without any right (by worshipping others instead
of Allâh and by committing crimes), and that you used to rejoice extremely (in
your error). (75) Enter the gates of Hell to abide therein, and (indeed) what an
evil abode of the arrogant! (76) So be patient (O Muhammad SAW), verily, the
Promise of Allâh is true, and whether We show you (O Muhammad SAW in this
world) some part of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die, then
still it is to Us they all shall be returned. (77)
And, indeed We have sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW);
of some of them We have related to you their story[] And of some We have not
related to you their story, and it was not given to any Messenger that he
should bring a sign except by the Leave of Allâh. But, when comes the
Commandment of Allâh, the matter will be decided with truth, and the followers
of falsehood will then be lost. (78) Allâh, it is He Who has made cattle for you,
that you may ride on some of them and of some you eat. (79) And you have (many
other) benefits from them, and that you may reach by their means a desire that
is in your breasts (i.e. carry your goods, loads, etc.), and on them and on
ships you are carried. (80) And He shows you His Ayat, (Signs and Proofs) (of His
Oneness in all the above mentioned things). Which, then of the Ayat (Signs and
Proofs) of Allâh do you deny? (81) Have they not travelled through the earth and
seen what was the end of those before them? They were more in number than them
and mightier in strength, and in the traces (they have left behind them) in the
land, yet all that they used to earn availed them not. (82) Then when their
Messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that
which they had of the knowledge (of worldly things): And that at which they
used to mock, surrounded them (i.e. the punishment). (83) So when they saw Our
punishment, they said: "We believe in Allâh Alone and reject (all) that we
used to associate with Him as (His) partners. (84) Then their Faith (in
Islâmic Monotheism) could not avail them when they saw Our punishment. (Like)
this has been the way of Allâh in dealing with His slaves. And there the
disbelievers lost utterly (when Our Torment covered them). (85)
Fussilat
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HâMîm [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and
none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings.] (1) A revelation from
(Allâh) the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (2) A Book whereof the
Verses are explained in detail — a Qur'ân in Arabic for people who know. (3) Giving glad tidings
[of Paradise to the one who believes in the Oneness of Allâh (i.e. Islâmic
Monotheism) and fears Allâh much (abstains from all kinds of sins and evil
deeds) and loves Allâh much (performing all kinds of good deeds which He has
ordained)], and warning (of punishment in the Hell Fire to the one who
disbelieves in the Oneness of Allâh), but most of them turn away, so they hear
not. (4) And they say: "Our hearts are under coverings (screened)
from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us
and you is a screen, so work you (on your way); verily, we are working (on our
way)." (5) Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I am only a human being like you. It
is revealed to me that your Ilâh (God) is One Ilâh (God - Allâh), therefore
take Straight Path to Him (with true Faith — Islâmic Monotheism) and obedience
to Him, and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe to Al-Mushrikûn (the polytheists,
idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh). (6) Those who give not
the Zakât and they are disbelievers in the Hereafter. (7) Truly, those who
believe (in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW — Islâmic
Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, for them will be an endless reward
that will never stop (i.e.
Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven
heavens in two Days and He made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the
nearest (lowest) heaven with lamps (stars)[] to be an adornment as well as to
guard (from the devils by using them as missiles against the devils). Such is
the Decree of Him the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. (12) But if they turn
away, then say (O Muhammad SAW): "I have warned you of a Sâ'iqah (a
destructive awful cry, torment, hit, a thunderbolt) like the Sâ'iqah which
overtook 'Ad and Thamûd (people)." (13) When the Messengers came to them, from
before them and behind them (saying): "Worship none but Allâh" They
said: "If our Lord had so willed, He would surely have sent down the
angels. So indeed we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent." (14) As for 'Ad, they were
arrogant in the land without right, and they said: "Who is mightier than
us in strength?" See they not that Allâh, Who created them was mightier in
strength than them. And they used to deny Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, revelations)! (15) So We sent upon them furious wind in days of evil omen
(for them) that We might give them a taste of disgracing torment in this
present worldly life, but surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more
disgracing, and they will never be helped. (16) And as for Thamûd, We
showed and made clear to them the Path of Truth (Islâmic Monotheism) through
Our Messenger, (i.e. showed them the way of success), but they preferred blindness
to guidance, so the Sâ'iqah (a destructive awful cry, torment, hit, a
thunderbolt) of disgracing torment seized them, because of what they used to
earn. (17) And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allâh, keep
their duty to Him and avoid evil. (18) And (remember) the Day that the enemies of
Allâh will be gathered to the Fire, then they will be driven [(to the fire),
former ones being withheld till their later ones will join them]. (19) Till, when they reach
it (Hell-fire), their hearing (ears) and their eyes, and their skins will
testify against them as to what they used to do. (20)
And they will say to their skins, "Why do you testify against
us?" They will say: "Allâh has caused us to speak," — He causes
all things to speak, and He created you the first time, and to Him you are made
to return." (21) And you have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest
your ears, and your eyes, and your skins should testify against you, but you
thought that Allâh knew not much of what you were doing. (22) And that thought of
yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to destruction, and
you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost! (23) Then, if they bear
the torment patiently, then the Fire is the home for them, and if they seek to
please Allâh, yet they are not of those who will ever be allowed to please
Allâh. (24) And We have assigned them (devils) intimate companions (in this
world), who have made fair-seeming to them, what was before them (evil deeds
which they were doing in the present worldly life and disbelief in the
Reckoning and the Resurrection) and what was behind them (denial of the matters
in the coming life of the Hereafter as regards punishment or reward). And the
Word (i.e. the torment) is justified against them as it was justified against
those who were among the previous generations of jinn and men that had passed
away before them. Indeed they (all) were the losers. (25) And those who
disbelieve say: "Listen not to this Qur'ân, and make noise in the midst of
its (recitation) that you may overcome." (26) But surely, We shall
cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe torment, and certainly, We shall
requite them the worst of what they used to do. (27) That is the
recompense of the enemies of Allâh: the Fire. Therein will be for them the
eternal home, a (deserving) recompense for that they used to deny Our Ayât
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). (28) And those who
disbelieve will say: "Our Lord! Show us those among jinn and men who led us
astray, that we may crush them under our feet so that they become the
lowest." (29)
Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is Allâh (Alone)," and
then they stand firm, on them the angels will descend (at the time of their
death) (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of
And among His Signs (in this), that you see the earth barren, but when
We send down water (rain) to it, it is stirred to life and growth (of
vegetations). Verily, He Who gives it life, surely is Able to give life to the
dead (on the Day of Resurrection). Indeed! He is Able to do all things. (39) Verily, those who
turn away from Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc. by attacking, distorting and denying them), are not hidden
from Us. Is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the
Day of Resurrection? Do what you will. Verily! He is All-Seer of what you do
(this is a severe threat to the disbelievers[]) (40) Verily, those who
disbelieved in the Reminder (i.e. the Qur'ân) when it came to them (shall
receive the punishment). And verily, it is an honourable well-fortified respected
Book (because it is Allâh's Speech, and He has protected it from corruption).
(See v.15:9) (41) Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it (it is)
sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allâh swt). (42) Nothing is said to
you (O Muhammad SAW) except what was said to the Messengers before you. Verily,
your Lord is the Possessor of forgiveness, and (also) the Possessor of painful
punishment.[] (43) And if We had sent this as a Qur'ân in a foreign language (other
than Arabic), they would have said: "Why are not its Verses explained in
detail (in our language)? What! (A Book) not in Arabic and (the Messenger) an
Arab?" Say: "It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And
as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and
it (the Qur'ân) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a
place far away (so they neither listen nor understand). (44) And indeed We gave
Mûsa (Moses) the Scripture, but dispute arose therein. And had it not been for
a Word that went forth before from your Lord, (the torment would have overtaken
them) and the matter would have been settled between them. But truly, they are
in grave doubt thereto (i.e. about the Qur'ân). (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi) (45) Whosoever does righteous
good deed it is for (the benefit of) his ownself, and whosoever does evil, it
is against his ownself, and your Lord is not at all unjust to (His) slaves.[] (46)
