Basic HTML Version
deeds seem fair to the transgressors.
We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong and
denied the clear signs which their messengers had given them. Thus
shall the guilty be rewarded. ThenWe made you their successors in the
earth, so thatWemight see howyouwould conduct yourselves.
When Our clear revelations are recited to them, those who do not
hope to meet Us say to you: 'Bring us a Quran other than this, or make
changes in it'.
Say: 'It is not for me to make a change in it by myself. I follow only
what is revealed to me. I cannot disobey my Lord, for I fear the
punishment of a fateful day.'
Say: 'Had Allah pleased, I would never have recited it to you, nor
would He have given you any knowledge of it. A long time I dwelt
amongst you before it was revealed.Will you not understand? '
Who is more wicked than the man who invents a falsehood about
Allah or denies His revelations? Truly, the evil-doers shall not prosper.
They worship besides Allah that which can neither harm nor help
them, and say: 'These will be our intercessors withAllah.'
Say: 'Do you presume to tell Allah of what He knows to be neither in
the heavens nor in the earth? Glory to Him! Exalted be He above what
they associate withHim! '
There was a time when men were one nation. Then they disagreed
among themselves: and hadAllah not ordained before (the deferring of
their punishment), their differences would have long been settled.
And they say: 'Why has no sign been given himby his Lord? '
