Alif Lam Ra This is a Scripture which We have sent down to you (Prophet) so that, with their Lord's permission, you may bring people from the depths of darkness into light, to the path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy One,

M.A.Haleem 14:1

2

God, to whom everything in the heavens and earth belongs. How terrible will be the torment of those who ignore (Him),

M.A.Haleem 14:2

3

those who prefer the life of this world over the life to come, who turn others from God's way, trying to make it crooked: such people have gone far astray.

M.A.Haleem 14:3

4

We have never sent a messenger who did not use his own people's language to make things clear for them. But still God leaves whoever He will to stray, and guides whoever He will: He is the Almighty, the All Wise.

M.A.Haleem 14:4

5

We sent Moses with Our signs: 'Bring out your people from the depths of darkness into light. Remind them of the Days of God: there truly are signs in this for every steadfast, thankful person.'

M.A.Haleem 14:5

6

And so Moses said to his people, 'Remember God's blessing on you when He saved you from Pharaoh's people, who were inflicting terrible suffering on you, slaughtering your sons and sparing only your womenthat was a severe test from your Lord!

M.A.Haleem 14:6

7

Remember that He promised, “If you are thankful, I will give you more, but if you are thankless, My punishment is terrible indeed.” '

M.A.Haleem 14:7

8

And Moses said, 'Even if you, together with everybody else on earth, are thankless, God is self-sufficient, worthy of all praise.'

M.A.Haleem 14:8

9

Have you not heard about those who went before you, the people of Noah, Ad, Thamud, and those who lived after them, known only to God? Their messengers came to them with clear proof, but they tried to silence them, saying, 'We do not believe the message with which you were sent. We have disturbing doubts about what you are asking us to do.'

M.A.Haleem 14:9

10

Their messengers answered, 'Can there be any doubt about God, the Creator of the heavens and earth? He calls you to Him in order to forgive you your sins and let you enjoy your life until the appointed hour.' But they said, 'You are only men like us. You want to turn us away from what our forefathers used to worship. Bring us clear proof then, (if you can).'

M.A.Haleem 14:10

11

Their messengers answered, 'True, we are only men like you, but God favours whichever of His servants He chooses. We cannot bring you any proof unless God permits it, so let the believers put all their trust in Him-

M.A.Haleem 14:11

12

why should we not put our trust in God when it is He who has guided us to this way we follow? We shall certainly bear steadfastly whatever harm you do to us. Let anyone who trusts, trust in God.'

M.A.Haleem 14:12

13

The disbelievers said to their messengers, 'We shall expel you from our land unless you return to our religion.' But their Lord inspired the messengers: 'We shall destroy the evildoers,

M.A.Haleem 14:13

14

and leave you to dwell in the land after them. This reward is for those who are in awe of meeting Me, and of My warnings.'

M.A.Haleem 14:14

15

They asked God to decide, and every obstinate tyrant failed-

M.A.Haleem 14:15

16

Hell awaits each one; he will be given foul water to drink,

M.A.Haleem 14:16

17

which he will try to gulp but scarcely be able to swallow; death will encroach on him from every side, but he will not die; more intense suffering will lie ahead of him.

M.A.Haleem 14:17

18

The deeds of those who reject their Lord are like ashes that the wind blows furiously on a stormy day: they have no power over anything they have gained. This is to stray far, far away.

M.A.Haleem 14:18

19

(Prophet), do you not see that God created the heavens and the earth for a purpose? He could remove all of you and replace you with a new creation if He wished to:

M.A.Haleem 14:19

20

that is not difficult for God.

M.A.Haleem 14:20

21

When they all appear before Him, the weak will say to the powerseekers, 'We were your followers. Can you protect us from any of God's punishment?' They will reply, 'If God had guided us, we would have guided you. It makes no difference now whether we rage or endure with patience: there is no escape.'

M.A.Haleem 14:21

22

When everything has been decided, Satan will say, 'God gave you a true promise. I too made promises but they were false ones: I had no power over you except to call you, and you responded to my call, so do not blame me; blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I reject the way you associated me with God before.' A bitter torment awaits such wrongdoers,

M.A.Haleem 14:22

23

but those who believed and did good deeds will be brought into Gardens graced with flowing streams, there to remain with their Lord's permission: their greeting there is 'Peace'.

M.A.Haleem 14:23

24

(Prophet), do you not see how God makes comparisons? A good word is like a good tree whose root is firm and whose branches are high in the sky,

M.A.Haleem 14:24

25

yielding constant fruit by its Lord's leave- God makes such comparisons for people so that they may reflect-

M.A.Haleem 14:25

26

but an evil word is like a rotten tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, with no power to endure.

M.A.Haleem 14:26

27

God will give firmness to those who believe in the firmly rooted word, both in this world and the Hereafter, but the evildoers He leaves to stray: God does whatever He will.

M.A.Haleem 14:27

28

(Prophet), do you not see those who, in exchange for God's favour, offer only ingratitude and make their people end up in the home of ruin, Hell,

M.A.Haleem 14:28

29

where they burn? What an evil place to stay!

M.A.Haleem 14:29

30

They set up (false deities) as God's equals to lead people astray from His path. Say, 'Take your pleasure now, for your destination is the Fire.'

M.A.Haleem 14:30
