1

All praise is for Allah alone, Who created the heavens and the earth, and brought into being light and darkness, and yet those who have rejected the call of the Truth ascribe others to be equals to their Lord.

A.Maududi 6:1

2

He it is Who has created you out of clay, and then decreed a term (of life), and has also appointed another term, a term determined with Him. Yet you are in doubt!

A.Maududi 6:2

3

And He it is Who is One True God in the heavens and in the earth. He knows your deeds - both secret and open - and knows fully whatever you earn.

A.Maududi 6:3

4

Yet every time a sign of their Lord comes to them, they turn away from it,

A.Maududi 6:4

5

and thus they gave the lie to the Truth that has now come to them. Soon they will come upon some news concerning what they had mocked at.

A.Maududi 6:5

6

Have they not seen how many a people We have destroyed before them? People whom We had made more powerful in the earth than you are and upon them We showered from the heavens abundant rains, and at whose feet We caused the rivers to flow? And then (when they behaved ungratefully) We destroyed them for their sins, and raised other peoples in their place.

A.Maududi 6:6

7

(O Messenger!) Had We sent down to you a book incribed on parchment, and had they even touched it with their own hands, the unbelievers would still have said: 'This is nothing but plain magic.'

A.Maududi 6:7

8

They also say: 'Why has no angel been sent down to this Prophet?' Had We sent down an angel, the matter would surely have long been decided and no respite would have been granted them.

A.Maududi 6:8

9

Had We appointed an angel, We would have sent him down in the form of a man - and thus We would have caused them the same doubt which they now entertain.

A.Maududi 6:9

10

And indeed before your time (O Muhammad!) many a Messenger has been scoffed at; but those who mocked at them were encompassed by the Truth they had scoffed at.

A.Maududi 6:10

11

Say: 'Go about journeying the earth, and behold the end of those who gave the lie (to the Truth).'

A.Maududi 6:11

12

Ask thern: 'To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and on the earth?' Say: 'Everything belongs to Allah.' He has bound Himself to the exercise of mercy (and thus does not chastise you for your disobedience and excesses instantly). Surely He will gather you all together on the Day of Resurrection - the coming of which is beyond doubt; but those who have courted their own ruin are not going to believe.

A.Maududi 6:12

13

And to Him belongs all that dwells in the night and the day. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

A.Maududi 6:13

14

Say: 'Shall I take for my guardian anyone other than Allah - the Originator of the heavens and earth; He Who feeds and Himself is not fed?' Say: 'Surely I have been commanded to be the first among those who submit (to Allah) and not to be one of those who associate others with Allah in His divinity (even though others may do so).'

A.Maududi 6:14

15

Say: 'Surely do I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of an awesome Day.

A.Maududi 6:15

16

Whosoever has been spared chastisement on that Day, Allah has bestowed His mercy upon him. That is the manifest triumph.

A.Maududi 6:16

17

Should Allah touch you with affliction, there is none to remove it but He; and should He touch you with good, He has the power to do everything.

A.Maududi 6:17

18

He has the supreme hold over His servants. He is All-Wise, All-Aware.

A.Maududi 6:18

19

Ask them: 'Whose testimony is the greatest?' Say: 'Allah is the witness between me and you; and this Qur'an was revealed to me that I should warn you thereby and also whomsoever it may reach.' Do you indeed testify that there are other gods with Allah? Say: 'I shall never testify such a thing.' Say: 'He is the One God and I am altogether averse to all that you associate with Him in His divinity.'

A.Maududi 6:19

20

Those whom We have given the Book will recognize this just as they recognize their own ofspring; but those who have courted their own ruin will not believe.

A.Maududi 6:20

21

And who could be more wrong-doing than he who either foists a lie on Allah or gives the lie to His signs? Surely such wrong-doers shall not attain success.

A.Maududi 6:21

22

And on the Day when We shall gather them all together, We shall ask those who associated others with -Allah in His divinity: 'Where, now, are your partners whom you imagined (to have a share in the divinity of Allah)?'

A.Maududi 6:22

23

Then they will be able to play no mischief but will say (falsely): 'By Allah, our Lord, we associated none (with You in Your divinity).'

A.Maududi 6:23

24

Behold, how they will lie against themselves and how their forged deities will forsake them!

A.Maududi 6:24

25

And of them there are some who appear to pay heed to you, but upon their hearts We have laid coverings so they understand it not; and in their ears, heaviness (so they hear not). Even if they were to witness every sign, they would still not believe in it so much so that when they come to you, they dispute with you, those who disbelieve contend: 'This is nothing but fables of the ancient times.'

A.Maududi 6:25

26

As for others, they prevent them from embracing the Truth; and themselves, they flee from it (so as to harm you). But they court their own ruin, although they do not realize it.

A.Maududi 6:26

27

If you could but see when they shall be made to stand by the Fire! They will plead: 'Would that we were brought back to life? Then we would not give the lie to the signs of our Lord and would be among the believers.'

A.Maududi 6:27

28

No! They will say this merely because the Truth which they had concealed will become obvious to them; or else if they were sent back, they would still revert to what was forbidden to them. (So this plea of theirs would be a lie too) for they are just liars.

A.Maududi 6:28

29

They say now: 'There is nothing but the life of this world, and we shall not be raised from the dead.'

A.Maududi 6:29

30

If you could but see when they will be made to stand before their Lord. He will say: 'Is not this the truth?' They will say: 'Yes indeed, by our Lord.'Whereupon He will say: 'Taste the chastisement, then, for your denying the Truth.'

A.Maududi 6:30
