1
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earthdeclares the glory of Allah; to Him belongs the kingdom, andto Him is due (all) praise, and He has power over allthings.
2
He it is Who created you, but one of you is an unbelieverand another of you is a believer; and Allah sees what youdo.
3
He created the heavens and the earth with truth, and Heformed you, then made goodly your forms, and to Him is theultimate resort.
4
He knows what is in the heavens and the earth, and Heknows what you hide and what you manifest;and Allah isCognizant of what is in the hearts.
5
Has there not come to you the story of those whodisbelieved before, then tasted the evil result of theirconduct, and they had a painful punishment?
6
That is because there came to them their messengers withclear arguments, but they said: Shall mortals guide us? Sothey disbelieved and turned back, and Allah does not standin need (of anything), and Allah is Self-sufficient,Praised.
7
Those who disbelieve think that they shall never beraised. Say: Aye! by my Lord! you shall most certainly beraised, then you shall most certainly be informed of whatyou did; and that is easy to Allah.
8
Therefore believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Lightwhich We have revealed; and Allah is Aware of what you do.
9
On the day that He will gather you for the day ofgathering, that is the day of loss and gain; and whoeverbelieves in Allah and does good, He will remove from him hisevil and cause him to enter gardens beneath which riversflow, to abide therein forever; that is the greatachievement.
10
And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Ourcommunications, they are the inmates of the fire, to abidetherein and evil is the resort.
11
No affliction comes about but by Allah's permission; andwhoever believes in Allah, He guides aright his heart; andAllah is Cognizant of all things.
12
And obey Allah and obey the Messenger, but if you turnback, then upon Our Messenger devolves only the clear delivery(of the message).
13
Allah, there is no god but He; and upon Allah, then, letthe believers rely.
14
O you who believe! surely from among your wives and yourchildren there is an enemy to you; therefore beware of them;and if you pardon and forbear and forgive, then surely Allahis Forgiving, Merciful.
15
Your possessions and your children are only a trial, andAllah it is with Whom is a great reward.
16
Therefore be careful of (your duty to) Allah as much asyou can, and hear and obey and spend, it is better for yoursouls; and whoever is saved from the greediness of his soul,these it is that are the successful.
17
If you set apart for Allah a goodly portion, He willdouble it for you and forgive you; and Allah is theMultiplier (of rewards), Forbearing,
18
The Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mighty, theWise.
