Basic HTML Version
Allah has caused some of you to excel others in wordly possessions.
Those who have been favoured do not give their wealth to those whom
their right hands possess so as to be equal in that respect. Would they
denyAllah's goodness?
Allah has given you wives from among yourselves, and through them
He has granted you sons and grandsons. He has provided you with good
things: will they then believe in falsehood and deny His favours?
They worship besides Allah that which can confer on them no
benefits from heaven or earth. Nor have they any power. Compare
none withAllah: He has knowledge, but you have not.
Allah sets forth this parable. On the one hand, there is a helpless
slave, the property of his master. On the other, a man on whomWe have
bestowed Our bounty, so that he gives of it both in private and in
public.Are the two alike?Allah forbid!Most men have no knowledge.
He also sets forth the parable of two men. One of them is a dumb and
helpless man, a burden on his master: wherever he sends himhe returns
with empty hands. Is he equal with one who enjoins justice and follows
the right path?
To Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. The
business of the Final Hour shall be accomplished in the twinkling of an
eye, or even less.Allah has power over all things.
Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs devoid of all
knowledge, and gave you ears and eyes and hearts, so that you may
give thanks.
Do they not see the birds that wing their flight in heaven's vault?
