45:25
themselves from evil motives. On the Day of Resurrection your Lord
Himself will judge their differences.
And now, We have set you on the right path. Follow it and do not
yield to the desires of ignorant men; for they in no way can protect you
from (the wrath) of Allah. The wrongdoers are patrons to each other;
but the righteous haveAllahHimself for their patron.
These are clear proofs to men and a guidance and mercy for those
who truly believe.
Do the evil—doers think that they are equal in Our sight to the
believers who do good works, so that in life and death shall be alike?
How ill they judge!
Allah created the heavens and the earth with (the aim of
manifesting) the truth and to reward each soul according to its deeds.
And they shall not be wronged.
Do you see the man who makes his desire his god, the man whom
Allah leaves in error, setting a seal upon his ears and heart and drawing
a veil over his eyes? Who then can guide him after Allah (has
withdrawn guidance)? Will you not take heed?
They say: 'There is this life and no other. We live and die; nothing
but Time destroys us.' Surely of this they have no knowledge. They are
merely guessing.
And when Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only
argument is: 'Bring back to us our fathers, if what you say be true! '
Say: 'It is Allah who gives you life and later causes you to die. It is
He who will gather you all on the Day of Resurrection. Of this there is
no doubt; yet most men do not know it.'
