Alif lam ra. Here are some Verses from the wise Scripture.
2
Why are people surprised that We have inspired a man from their midst to warn them and to bring to the believers the glad tidings that their standing is truly high before their Lord! But the disbelievers say: “Indeed, he’s a real magician!”
3
Verily, your Lord is God, Who has created Heavens and earth in six days and then sat firmly on the Throne to manage [His] Design. There is no intercessor without His permission. He is God, your Lord, so worship Him! Would you not you come to your senses?
4
You shall all return to Him — indeed, God’s promise is true! He starts the Creation and then repeats it in order to give a just reward to those who believed and worked good deeds. But for those who denied Him, there is a boiling drink and a painful punishment for their disbelief!
5
He is the One Who made the sun a luminary and the moon a light, and marked its path by stations to teach you how to count the years and how to compute. God has created that only by the Truth, and He explains the Signs to the people who understand.
6
Verily, in the contrast between night and day, and in God’s creations in the Heavens and earth, there are Signs for the people who fear God.
7
Verily, those who do not hope to meet Us, who enjoy the life of this world, who are content with it and disregard Our Signs —
8
their abode shall be the Fire for what they have prepared for themselves.
9
Verily, those who believed and worked good deeds, their Lord shall guide them on the path of their faith. Rivers shall flow at their feet in the Gardens of Bliss.
10
Their prayer will be there: Glory to You, O God! their greeting wll be: Peace!, and the conclusion of their prayer will be: Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds!
11
If God were to hasten evil to people as fast as they want to hasten their well-being, their fate would have already been sealed! Those who do not hope to meet Us, We let them wander blindly in sin.
12
When harm touches a man, he calls upon Us lying down on his side, sitting, or standing. But as soon as We free him from harm, he walks by, as if he had never called upon Us because of the harm that touched him. This is how the deeds of the sinners are made attractive to them!
13
We have destroyed former generations while they were transgressing. Their Messengers came to them with the Proofs, yet they refused to believe. This is how We reward the people who transgress!
14
We made you their successors in the land to let Us observe how you will behave.
15
When Our clear Verses are recited to them, those who do not hope to meet with Us, say to you: “Bring us another Koran or change this one!” Say: “I can’t change it on my own accord: I’m following only what is inspired to me. If I disobeyed my Lord, I’d fear the punishment of the Great Day.”
16
Say: “God willing, I wouldn’t be reciting to you [the Koran], and He wouldn’t have let you know about it. Indeed, I’ve spent my whole life with you, so why don’t you understand?”
17
Who is more unjust than the one who slanders God or rejects His Signs? Verily, the wrong-doers will not succeed!
18
Besides God they worship some [idols] that neither harm nor benefit them. They say: “These are our intercessors before God!” Say: “Can you tell God anything He doesn’t already know in Heavens and on earth? Glory to Him! Exalted He is above anything they associate!”
19
In the beginning people formed one community, but later on they went their separate ways. Had it not been for an earlier Word from your Lord, their differences would have already been settled.
20
They say: “Why does’t his Lord send him a Sign?” Say: “The future is in God’s hands. Wait, and I’ll be waiting with you.”
21
As soon as We make people taste of Our mercy after adversity had touched them, they start scheming against Our Signs. Say: “God is faster at scheming, and all your schemes are recorded by Angels!”
22
He is the One, Who guides you on your path by land and sea. When they are sailing on ships and the wind is favorable, they rejoice. But when a gale comes along upon them, and the waves lash at them from all sides, they think of death and call to God truly believing in Him: “If you rescue us, we’ll be so grateful!”
23
But after He rescues them, they break the law by transgressing in the land. O people! Your transgressions shall turn against you — they are enjoyable only in this life. And when you return to Us, We will reveal to you what you have done.
24
The present life is like rainwater that We pour down from the sky! Mingling with the soil, it [brings forth] the plants that feed people and cattle. When the land turns golden and beautifies itself, its owners think they control it, but by night or day We issue Our Command and strip it naked, as if it were not thriving the day before. This is how We interpret the Signs to the people who think!
25
God invites to the Home of Peace and guides to the right path anyone He wills.
26
Those who do good will receive some goodness, and then some more [goodness]. Neither gloom nor shame shall cover their faces — indeed, they are the dwellers of Paradise, where they shall dwell for ever.
27
As for those who amassed evil, their reward shall be a matching evil. They shall be overcome by shame, and no one will protect them from God. Their faces shall be covered with the likeness of shreds from the depth of the darkest night — indeed, they are the dwellers of Fire, where they shall remain for ever!
28
The Day We round them up, We will say to the Associators: — Go, you and your partners, each to your place! We will separate them, and their partners shall say: “It wasn’t us that you worshiped,
29
and God is sufficient as a witness between us. Indeed, we had no idea that you were serving us.”
30
Then every soul shall realize what it has brought forth. They shall be returned to God, their true Lord, and their inventions shall vanish from their sight.
