Basic HTML Version
disgrace in this life and gave them comfort for a while. Had your Lord
pleased, all the people of the earth would have believed in Him. Would
you then forcemen to be believers?
No soul can have faith except by the will of Allah. He will visit His
scourge upon the senseless.
Say: 'Behold what the heavens and the earth contain!
' But neither
signs nor warnings will avail the unbelievers.
What can they wait for but days similar to (the days) of those who
have gone before them? Say: 'Wait if youwill; I too amwaiting.'
Then we shall save Our apostles and the true believers. It is but just
thatWe should save the faithful.
Say: 'Men! If you are in doubt concerning my religion, (know that) I
worship none of those you serve besides Allah, but I serve Allah who
will cause you to die: for I am commanded to be one of the faithful, and
(I was bidden): “Set your face uprightly towards religion, and do not be
a polytheist. Do not pray besides God to anything which can neither
help nor harm you, for if you do you will become a wrongdoer. IfAllah
afflicts you with a misfortune none can remove it but He; and if He
wills good for you, none can withhold His bounty. He is bountiful to
whomHe will. He is the Forgiving, theMerciful.” '
Say: 'Men! The truth has come to you fromyour Lord. He that follows
the right path follows it to his own advantage, and he that goes astray
does so at his own peril. I amnot your keeper.'
Observe what is revealed to you, and have patience till Allah makes
known his judgement. He is the best of judges.
