Basic HTML Version
He is theMighty, the ForgivingOne.
He created you from a single being, then from that being He created
its mate. He has given you eight of the cattle in pairs. He creates you in
your mothers' wombs by stages in threefold darkness.
Such is Allah, your Lord. His is the Sovereignty. There is no god
but Him. How, then, can you turn away fromHim?
If you render Him no thanks, know that Allah does not need you.
Yet the ingratitude of His servants does not please Him. If you are
thankful, your thanks will please Him?
No soul shall bear another's burden. To Allah you shall all return
and He will declare to you what you have done- He knows your inmost
thoughts.
When harm is done to man, he prays to his Lord and turns to Him in
repentance; yet no sooner does He bestow on him His favour than he
forgets that for which he had prayed before and sets up equals to Him,
in order to leadmen away fromHis path.
Say: 'Enjoy your unbelief awhile; you shall surely be consigned to
Hell. Can he who passes his night in adoration, standing up or on his
knees, who dreads the terrors of the life to come and hopes to earn the
mercy of his Lord, (be compared to the unbeliever)? Are the wise and
the ignorant equal?' Truly, none will take heed but men of
understanding.
Say: 'My servants who believe, fear your Lord. Those who do good
works in this life shall receive a good reward. Allah's earth is vast.
Those that endure with fortitude shall be requitedwithout measure.'
Say: "I am bidden to serveAllah and to worship none besides Him.
I ambidden to be the first of those who shall submit toHim.'
