1

THE REVELATION OF this Book is from God, the mighty and all-wise.

Ahmed Ali 39:1

2

We have revealed to you the Scripture with exactitude; so worship God with devotion all exclusive for Him.

Ahmed Ali 39:2

3

Remember that devotion is exclusively for God. Those who have taken protectors other than Him, say: "We worship them that they may bring us nearer to God." Surely God will judge between them in what they are differing about. Verily God does not show the way to an ungrateful liar.

Ahmed Ali 39:3

4

Had God pleased to take a son, He could have chosen whom He liked from among those He has created. Glory be to Him. He is God, the one, the omnipotent.

Ahmed Ali 39:4

5

He has created the heavens and the earth with precision. He folds the day up over the night, and folds the night up over the day. He has subjugated the sun and moon, (so that) each runs its appointed course. Is He not all-mighty and forgiving?

Ahmed Ali 39:5

6

He created you from a single cell, then from it created its mate; arid provided eight varieties of cattle for you. He formed you in the mother's womb, formation after formation in three (veils of) darkness. He is God your Lord. His is the kingdom. There is no god other than He. How then can you turn away?

Ahmed Ali 39:6

7

If you are ungrateful, then remember! God is independent of you, and He does not favour ingratitude on the part of His creatures. If you are grateful He will be pleased with you. For no one who carries a burden bears another's load; and your returning is to your Lord, when He will tell you what you used to do. Surely He knows what is in the hearts.

Ahmed Ali 39:7

8

When man is afflicted with adversity he turns to his Lord, and prays to Him. But when He bestows His favour on him, he forgets what he prayed for before, and sets up others as compeers of God to mislead (people) from His way. Say: "Take advantage of your denying for a while: You will be among the inmates of Hell."

Ahmed Ali 39:8

9

Can one who prays in the watches of the night, bowing in homage or standing attentive, fearful of the life to come, and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (be like one who does not)? Say: "Can those who know, and those who do not know, be equal? Only they think who are wise."

Ahmed Ali 39:9

10

Tell them: "O my creatures who have come to belief, have fear of displeasing your Lord. There is good for those who do good in this world, and productive is God's earth. Only those who persevere will get their reward measureless."

Ahmed Ali 39:10

11

Say: "I am commanded to worship God with obedience all-exclusive for Him;

Ahmed Ali 39:11

12

And I am commanded to be the first of those who submit."

Ahmed Ali 39:12

13

Say: "If I disobey my Lord, I fear the punishment of an evil Day."

Ahmed Ali 39:13

14

Say: "I worship God with devotion all-exclusive for Him.

Ahmed Ali 39:14

15

You may worship what you will apart from Him." Say: "Surely the greatest losers will be those who will lose their own selves and their people on the Day of Resurrection." Remember, this will be an all-too-evident loss.

Ahmed Ali 39:15

16

Above them will be a covering of fire, below them a cloud (of flames). With this does God warn His creatures: "O My creatures, fear Me."

Ahmed Ali 39:16

17

There are happy tidings for those who keep away from the worship of false gods and turn to God in repentance. Give glad tidings to My creatures.

Ahmed Ali 39:17

18

Those who listen to the Word and then follow the best it contains, are the ones who have been guided by God, and are men of wisdom.

Ahmed Ali 39:18

19

Can he against whom the sentence of punishment has been justified (be rescued)? Can you save him who is in the Fire?

Ahmed Ali 39:19

20

But for those who fear displeasing their Lord there are lofty mansions built above mansions, with rivers rippling past below them: A promise of God; (and) God does not go back on His promise.

Ahmed Ali 39:20

21

Do you not see that God sends down water from the sky, then makes it flow in rills on the earth, and brings forth corn from it which, having passed through changes of shade and colour, comes to ripen, and you see it autumnal yellow; then He reduces it to chaff. There are indeed lessons in this for those who are wise.

Ahmed Ali 39:21

22

Will he whose breast has been opened up to peace (not be) in luminescence from his Lord? Alas for those whose hearts have been hardened to God's remembrance! They wander (astray) in clear error.

Ahmed Ali 39:22

23

God has sent down the very best discourse, the Book conformable in its juxtapositions, which makes all of those who fear their Lord, shudder. So their hearts and bodies become receptive to the remembrance of God. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whosoever He will; but whosoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way.

Ahmed Ali 39:23

24

Can he who will have to shield himself against the torment of the Day of Resurrection (be the same as one at peace)? The evil-doers will be told: "So taste what you earned."

Ahmed Ali 39:24

25

Those before them had denied, then punishment had overtaken them is from a quarter they did not suspect.

Ahmed Ali 39:25

26

Then God made them taste of disgrace in this life; and the torment of the life to come is greater, if they understand.

Ahmed Ali 39:26

27

We have given examples of every kind for men in this Qur'an so that they may contemplate:

Ahmed Ali 39:27

28

A clear discourse which expounds all things without any obliquity, so that they may take heed for themselves.

Ahmed Ali 39:28

29

God advances the example of a man who is owned (as slave in common) by a number of men at loggerheads, and another man who is owned by only one. Are these two alike in attribute? God be praised; yet many of them do not know.

Ahmed Ali 39:29

30

Verily you will die, and so will they.

Ahmed Ali 39:30
