64: Mutual Disillusion, Haggling
|
1 |
Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare the Praises and
Glory of God: to Him belongs dominion, and to Him belongs praise: and
He has power over all things.
|
2 |
It is He Who has created you; and of you are some that are
Unbelievers, and some that are Believers: and God sees well all that
ye do.
|
3 |
He has created the heavens and the earth in just proportions, and has
given you shape, and made your shapes beautiful: and to Him is the
final Goal.
|
4 |
He knows what is in the heavens and on earth; and He knows what ye
conceal and what ye reveal: yea, God knows well the (secrets) of (all)
hearts.
|
5 |
Has not the story reached you, of those who rejected Faith aforetime?
So they tasted the evil result of their conduct; and they had a
grievous Penalty.
|
6 |
That was because there came to them apostles with Clear Signs, but
they said: "Shall (mere) human beings direct us?" So they rejected
(the Message) and turned away. But God can do without (them): and God
is free of all needs, worthy of all praise.
|
7 |
The Unbelievers think that they will not be raised up (for
Judgment). Say: "Yea, By my Lord, Ye shall surely be raised up: then
shall ye be told (the truth) of all that ye did. And that is easy for
God."
|
8 |
Believe, therefore, in God and His Apostle, and in the Light which we
have sent down. And God is well acquainted with all that ye do.
|
9 |
The Day that He assembles you (all) for a Day of Assembly,- that will
be a Day of mutual loss and gain (among you), and those who believe in
God and work righteousness,- He will remove from them their ills, and
He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell
therein for ever: that will be the Supreme Achievement.
|
10 |
But those who reject Faith and treat Our Signs as falsehoods, they
will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein for aye: and evil is
that Goal.
|
11 |
No kind of calamity can occur, except by the leave of God: and if any
one believes in God, (God) guides his heart (aright): for God knows
all things.
|
12 |
So obey God, and obey His Apostle: but if ye turn back, the duty of
Our Apostle is but to proclaim (the Message) clearly and openly.
|
13 |
God! There is no god but He: and on God, therefore, let the Believers
put their trust.
|
14 |
O ye who believe! Truly, among your wives and your children are (some
that are) enemies to yourselves: so beware of them! But if ye forgive
and overlook, and cover up (their faults), verily God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
|
15 |
Your riches and your children may be but a trial: but in the Presence
of God, is the highest, Reward.
|
16 |
So fear God as much as ye can; listen and obey and spend in charity
for the benefit of your own soul and those saved from the covetousness
of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
|
17 |
If ye loan to God, a beautiful loan, He will double it to your
(credit), and He will grant you Forgiveness: for God is most Ready to
appreciate (service), Most Forbearing,-
|
18 |
Knower of what is open, Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.
