2
Did the people think that they will be left to say, We acknowledge without being put to the test?
3
While We had tested those before them, so that God would know those who are truthful and so that He would know the liars.
4
Or did those who sinned think that they would be ahead of Us? Miserable indeed is their judgment!
5
Whosoever looks forward to meeting God, then God's meeting will come. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.
6
Whosoever strives then he is only striving for himself; for God is in no need of the worlds.
7
Those who acknowledged and did good works, We will cancel their sins and We will reward them in the best for what they did.
8
We instructed the human to be good to his parents. But if they strive to make you set up partners with Me, then do not obey them. To Me are all your destinies, and I will inform you of what you used to do.
9
Those who acknowledged and did good works, We will admit them with the righteous.
10
Among the people are those who say, We acknowledge God, but if he is harmed in the sake of God, he equates the persecution inflicted by the people with God's punishment! If a victory comes from your Lord, he says: We were with you! Is God not fully aware of what is inside the chests of the worlds?
11
God is fully aware of those who acknowledged, and He is fully aware of the hypocrites.
12
Those who rejected said to those who acknowledged: Follow our path and we will carry your sins. But they cannot carry anything from their sins, they are liars!
13
They will carry their own burdens as well as burdens with their burdens, and they will be asked on the day of Resurrection regarding what they fabricated.
14
We had sent Noah to his people, so he stayed with them one thousand years less fifty calendar years. Then the flood took them while they were wicked.
15
So We saved him and the people on the Ship, and We made it a sign for the worlds.
16
And Abraham when he said to his people: Serve God and be aware of Him; that is better for you if you knew.
17
You are serving nothing but idols besides Him, and you are creating fabrications. Those that you serve besides God do not possess for you any provisions, so seek with God the provision and serve Him and be thankful to Him; to Him you will return.
18
If you reject, then nations before you have also rejected. The messenger is only required to deliver clearly.
19
Did they not observe how God initiates the creation then He returns it? All that for God is easy to do.
20
Say, Roam the earth and observe how the creation was initiated. Then God will establish the final design. God is capable of all things.
21
God will punish whom He wills and He will have mercy on whom He wills, and to Him you will return.
22
You will not be able to challenge this fact, on earth or in the heavens, nor do you have besides God any ally or victor.
23
Those who rejected God's signs and in meeting Him, they have forsaken My mercy, and they will have a painful retribution.
24
But the only response from his people was their saying: Kill him, or burn him. But God saved him from the fire. In this are signs for a people who acknowledge.
25
He said, You have taken idols besides God in order to preserve some friendship among you in this worldly life. But then, on the day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is hell, and you will have no victors.
26
Thus, Lot acknowledged with him and said, I am emigrating to my Lord. He is the Noble, the Wise.
27
We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and We made within his progeny the prophethood and the book. We gave him his reward in this world, and in the Hereafter he is among the righteous.
28
And Lot, when he said to his people: You commit a lewdness that no others in the world have done before!
29
You sexually approach men, you commit highway robbery, and you bring all vice to your society. But the only response from his people was to say, Bring us God's retribution, if you are being truthful!
30
He said, My Lord, grant me victory over the wicked people.
