Alif, Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book We have sent down to you that you may bring mankind out from darkness into light, by the command of their Lord, to the path of the All-mighty, the All-laudable

A.Q.Qarai 14:1

2

—Allah, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Woe to the faithless for a severe punishment

A.Q.Qarai 14:2

3

—those who prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter, and bar [others] from the way of Allah, and seek to make it crooked. They are in extreme error.

A.Q.Qarai 14:3

4

We did not send any apostle except with the language of his people, so that he might make [Our messages] clear to them. Then Allah leads astray whomever He wishes, and He guides whomsoever He wishes, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.

A.Q.Qarai 14:4

5

Certainly We sent Moses with Our signs: ‘Bring your people out from darkness into light and remind them of Allah’s [holy] days. There are indeed signs in that for every patient and grateful [servant].’

A.Q.Qarai 14:5

6

When Moses said to his people, ‘Remember Allah’s blessing upon you when He delivered you from Pharaoh’s clan who inflicted a terrible torment on you, and slaughtered your sons and spared your women, and in that there was a great test from your Lord.

A.Q.Qarai 14:6

7

And when your Lord proclaimed, “If you are grateful, I will surely enhance you [in blessing], but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is indeed severe.” ’

A.Q.Qarai 14:7

8

And Moses said, ‘Should you be faithless,—you and everyone on the earth, all together—indeed Allah is all-sufficient, all-laudable.’

A.Q.Qarai 14:8

9

Has there not come to you the account of those who were before you—the people of Noah, ‘Ad and Thamud, and those who were after them, whom no one knows [well] except Allah? Their apostles brought them manifest proofs, but they did not respond to them, and said, ‘We disbelieve in what you have been sent with. Indeed we have grave doubts concerning that to which you invite us.’

A.Q.Qarai 14:9

10

Their apostles said, ‘Is there any doubt about Allah, the originator of the heavens and the earth?! He calls you to forgive you a part of your sins, and grants you respite until a specified time.’ They said, ‘You are nothing but humans like us who desire to bar us from what our fathers used to worship. So bring us a manifest authority.’

A.Q.Qarai 14:10

11

Their apostles said to them, ‘Indeed we are just human beings like yourselves; but Allah favours whomever of His servants that He wishes. We may not bring you an authority except by Allah’s leave, and in Allah let all the faithful put their trust.

A.Q.Qarai 14:11

12

And why should we not put our trust in Allah, seeing that He has guided us in our ways? Surely, we will put up patiently with whatever torment you may inflict upon us, and in Allah let all the trusting put their trust.’

A.Q.Qarai 14:12

13

But the faithless said to their apostles, ‘Surely we will expel you from our land, or you shall revert to our creed.’ Thereat their Lord revealed to them: ‘We will surely destroy the wrongdoers,

A.Q.Qarai 14:13

14

and surely We will settle you in the land after them. This [promise] is for someone who is awed to stand before Me and fears My threat.’

A.Q.Qarai 14:14

15

They prayed for victory [against the infidels], and every obstinate tyrant was defeated,

A.Q.Qarai 14:15

16

with hell lying ahead of him, [where] he shall be given to drink of a purulent fluid,

A.Q.Qarai 14:16

17

gulping it down, but hardly swallowing it: death will assail him from every side, but he will not die, and there is [yet] a harsh punishment ahead of him.

A.Q.Qarai 14:17

18

A parable of those who defy their Lord: their deeds are like ashes over which the wind blows hard on a tempestuous day: they have no power over anything they have earned. That is extreme error.

A.Q.Qarai 14:18

19

Have you not regarded that Allah created the heavens and the earth with justice? If He wishes, He will take you away, and bring about a new creation,

A.Q.Qarai 14:19

20

and that is not a formidable thing for Allah.

A.Q.Qarai 14:20

21

Together they will be presented before Allah. Then those who were weak will say to the arrogant [leaders], ‘Indeed we were your followers. So will you avail us against Allah’s punishment in any wise?’ They will say, ‘Had Allah guided us, surely we would have guided you. It is the same to us whether we are restless or patient: there is no escape for us.’

A.Q.Qarai 14:21

22

When the matter is all over, Satan will say, ‘Indeed Allah made you a promise that was true and I [too] made you a promise, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you responded to me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot respond to your distress calls, neither can you respond to my distress calls. Indeed I disavow your taking me for [Allah’s] partner aforetime. There is indeed a painful punishment for the wrongdoers.’

A.Q.Qarai 14:22

23

Those who have faith and do righteous deeds will be admitted into gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them [forever], by the leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be ‘Peace!’

A.Q.Qarai 14:23

24

Have you not regarded how Allah has drawn a parable? A good word is like a good tree: its roots are steady and its branches are in the sky.

A.Q.Qarai 14:24

25

It gives its fruit every season by the leave of its Lord. Allah draws these parables for mankind so that they may take admonition.

A.Q.Qarai 14:25

26

And the parable of a bad word is that of a bad tree: uprooted from the ground, it has no stability.

A.Q.Qarai 14:26

27

Allah fortifies those who have faith with a constant creed in the life of this world and in the Hereafter, and Allah leads astray the wrongdoers, and Allah does whatever He wishes.

A.Q.Qarai 14:27

28

Have you not regarded those who have changed Allah’s blessing with ingratitude, and landed their people in the house of ruin?

A.Q.Qarai 14:28

29

—hell, which they shall enter, and it is an evil abode!

A.Q.Qarai 14:29

30

They have set up equals to Allah, to lead [people] astray from His way. Say, ‘Enjoy [for a while], for indeed your destination is hellfire!’

A.Q.Qarai 14:30
