Basic HTML Version
not their keeper.
Allah takes away men's souls upon their death, and those that do
not die during their sleep. Those who are doomed He keeps with Him,
and restores the others for a time ordained. Surely there are signs in
this for thinkingmen.
Have they chosen others besidesAllah to intercede for them? Say:
'What' Even though they have no power nor understanding? '
Say: "Intercession is wholly in the hands of Allah. His is the
sovereignty in the heavens and the earth. To Him you shall all be
recalled.'
When Allah alone is named, the hearts of those who deny the
Hereafter shrink with aversion; but when those besides Him are
named, they are filledwith joy.
Say 'Lord, Creator of the heavens and the earth, who has
knowledge of the visible and the invisible. You alone can judge the
disputes ofYour servants.'
If the wrongdoers had all the treasures of the earth and as much
besides, they would gladly offer it on the Day of Resurrection to
redeem themselves from the torment of the scourge. For Allah will
show them that with which they have never reckoned. The evils of
their deeds will become manifest to them. and what they scoffed at
will encompass them.
When harm befalls man he calls upon Us. but whenWe vouchsafe
himOur favour, he says: 'I have been given it merely because of God's
knowledge.' By nomeans! It is but a test: yet most men do not know it.
