1

ALL PRAISE BE to God, the originator of the heavens and the earth, who appointed angels as His messengers, with wings, two, three and four. He adds what He pleases to His creation. He has certainly power over everything.

Ahmed Ali 35:1

2

There is none who can take away the favours He bestows on man; and there is none apart from Him to restore what He has withheld. He is all-mighty and all-wise.

Ahmed Ali 35:2

3

O you people, remember the favours of God to you. Is there any creator other than God who gives you food from the heavens and the earth? There is no god but He: How then can you turn aside?

Ahmed Ali 35:3

4

If they call you a liar, so have other messengers been denied before you. But all things will be brought back to God.

Ahmed Ali 35:4

5

O you people, the promise of God is true. So do not let the life of this world delude you, nor let that (arch) deceiver deceive you about God.

Ahmed Ali 35:5

6

Satan is certainly your enemy, so hold him as a foe. He only calls his faction to be the residents of Hell.

Ahmed Ali 35:6

7

For those who are unbelievers, there is severe punishment; but for those who believe and do the right is forgiveness and a great reward.

Ahmed Ali 35:7

8

Can he, the evil of whose deed is made to look attractive to him so that he considers it good, (be like him who is guided)? God leads whosoever He please astray and guides whosoever He will. So do not waste away your self with grief for them. God is indeed cognisant of things they do.

Ahmed Ali 35:8

9

It is God who sends the winds that raise the clouds. Then We drive the clouds towards the land that was dead, and restore the earth to life after it had died. So will be the Resurrection.

Ahmed Ali 35:9

10

Whosoever desires honour (should remember) that all honour is with God. All good words ascend to Him, and all good deeds He exalts. As for those who are plotting evil, there is severe punishment for them, and their plots will be fruitless.

Ahmed Ali 35:10

11

It is God who created you from dust, then from a sperm, then formed you into pairs. Neither does a female conceive nor gives birth without His knowledge; nor do the old grow older or become younger in years but in accordance with the law (of nature). Indeed the law of God works inevitably.

Ahmed Ali 35:11

12

Alike are not two bodies of water: This one is sweet and fresh and pleasant to drink, and this one brine and bitter; yet you get fresh meat to eat from both, and take out ornaments to wear. You see how the ships churn through them so that you may seek of His bounty and, perhaps, give thanks.

Ahmed Ali 35:12

13

He makes night run into day, the day run into night, and has harnessed the sun and the moon so that each runs to its determined course. This is God your Lord; His is the kingdom; and those you invoke apart from Him are not masters even of the film on a date-palm stone.

Ahmed Ali 35:13

14

You pray to them, but they do not hear your call; and even if they heard you, they could not answer your prayer; and on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your having worshipped them. None can acquaint you (with the reality) as He who is informed of everything.

Ahmed Ali 35:14

15

O men, it is you who stand in need of God. As for God, He is above all need, worthy of praise.

Ahmed Ali 35:15

16

He could take you away if He pleased and bring a new creation (in your place).

Ahmed Ali 35:16

17

This is well within the power of God.

Ahmed Ali 35:17

18

No one who carries a burden bears another's load; and even if the burdened soul cry out for help none will carry the least of its burden, however close a relative it may be. You can only warn those who fear their Lord in secret and fulfil their devotional obligations. Whoever grows in goodness does so for himself. To God is the journeying back.

Ahmed Ali 35:18

19

Equal are not the blind and those who can see,

Ahmed Ali 35:19

20

Nor darkness and light,

Ahmed Ali 35:20

21

Nor shade and heat of sunshine.

Ahmed Ali 35:21

22

Equal are not the living and the dead. Verily God makes those He will to listen; but you cannot make those hear who are in their graves.

Ahmed Ali 35:22

23

You are only a bearer of warnings.

Ahmed Ali 35:23

24

We have sent you with the truth, to give glad tidings and to warn. Never has there been a community to which an admonisher was not sent.

Ahmed Ali 35:24

25

If they call you a liar, so had those before them called their apostles liars, who had come to them with clear proofs, scriptures and the splendent Book.

Ahmed Ali 35:25

26

So We seized the unbelievers. How great was the change I wrought in their condition then!

Ahmed Ali 35:26

27

Do you not see how God sends water from the sky, then We produce fruits from it variegated in colour; and on mountains are tracts of red and white, in different shades and raven black.

Ahmed Ali 35:27

28

And so are among men, beasts and cattle, different shades. Only those of His creatures fear God who have knowledge. Verily He is all-mighty and forgiving.

Ahmed Ali 35:28

29

Surely those who read the Book of God, are firm in devotion, and spend of what We have given them in secret or openly, can hope for a commerce that will not decline,

Ahmed Ali 35:29

30

So that He may reward them in full, and give them a greater increase by His grace. He is verily forgiving and rewarding.

Ahmed Ali 35:30
