Alif lam mim.

N.Starkovsky 3:1

2

God! There is no god besides Him, He is the Living, the Self-Existing!

N.Starkovsky 3:2

3

He has sent down to you the Scripture with the Truth, confirming what had been sent before it. Earlier He had sent the Torah and the Evangel as a Guidance for the people. And He had sent down the Salvation.

N.Starkovsky 3:3

4

Verily, those who reject the Signs of God shall receive a severe punishment — God is mighty and vengeful!

N.Starkovsky 3:4

5

Verily, nothing is hidden from God on earth or in Heaven.

N.Starkovsky 3:5

6

He is the One, Who forms you in the wombs, as He wills. There is no god but Him, the Mighty, the Wise.

N.Starkovsky 3:6

7

He is the One, Who has sent down to you the Scripture with prescriptive Verses, which are the essence of the Book. There are other, allegorical ones. Those with impure hearts follow the allegorical [Verses], interpreting them and thus inciting dissent. But their meaning is known only to God! The steadfast in Knowledge say: “We believe in [the Scripture] — it’s entirely from our Lord, but only those with insight remember [it].

N.Starkovsky 3:7

8

“O our Lord! Don’t let our hearts go astray after You’ve guided us, and provide us from Your mercy — verily, You’re the Giver.

N.Starkovsky 3:8

9

O our Lord! You will round up the people on that Day about which there’s no doubt. Verily, God will never fail [His] promise!”

N.Starkovsky 3:9

10

Neither their wealth nor their children shall protect the disbelievers from God. They are no more than fuel for the Fire!

N.Starkovsky 3:10

11

They are not better than the house of Pharaoh and those who were before them. They denied Our Signs, and God seized them for their sins, for God is stern in punishment.

N.Starkovsky 3:11

12

Say to the disbelievers: “You shall soon be overthrown and gathered in Hell — evil will be this bedding!”

N.Starkovsky 3:12

13

You’ve already been given a Sign in the clash between the two armies: one fought in the cause of God, the other — against it. Then the enemies saw with their eyes twice as many [Muslims] as they actually were. Thus God supports by His help those He wills — verily, there is a lesson in this for those who can see.

N.Starkovsky 3:13

14

People are consumed by passions for women and sons, for hoarded kintars of gold and silver, for branded horses, for cattle, and for cultivated fields, but these are only some enjoyments of the present life — the best calling is nearness to God.

N.Starkovsky 3:14

15

Say: “Shall I tell you what’s better for the God-fearing? It’s nearness to their Lord in Gardens under which the rivers flow. By the Grace of God, they shall stay there for ever with their pure spouses. God is observing [His] servants

N.Starkovsky 3:15

16

who say: ’O our Lord! We’ve truly believed! Forgive us our sins and save us from the punishment by the Fire.’

N.Starkovsky 3:16

17

But this is only for the patient and the truthful, the devout and the generous who pray for forgiveness from early morning.”

N.Starkovsky 3:17

18

There is no god but Him! This is witnessed by God and the Angels, and those who possess Knowledge and uphold justice. There is no god but Him, the Mighty, the Wise.

N.Starkovsky 3:18

19

Verily, in God’s sight, religion is Islam! After receiving Knowledge, the People of the Scripture dissented from it out of enmity to one another. But for those who reject the Signs of God, God is quick to settle the account!

N.Starkovsky 3:19

20

If they start arguing with you, say: “I’ve totally submitted myself to God, and so have those who followed me.” Tell the People of the Scripture and the unenlightened ones: “Have you submitted yourselves [to God]?” If they have submitted themselves, they are on the right path, but if they have turned away, then your duty is to convey [the Message]. God is observant of [His] servants!

N.Starkovsky 3:20

21

Verily, announce a painful punishment to those who reject the Signs of God, wrongfully slay the Prophets, and kill the people who call to justice.

N.Starkovsky 3:21

22

Their works shall amount to nothing both in this world and the Hereafter, and nobody shall help them!

N.Starkovsky 3:22

23

Do you not see those who have received a portion of the Scripture? When called to judgment by the Divine Scripture, some of them refuse to comply and turn away.

N.Starkovsky 3:23

24

They say: “If the Fire touched us, it would be only for a few days.” By their lies about religion they deceive only themselves!

N.Starkovsky 3:24

25

And what will happen when We gather them on the Day, which cannot be doubted, when each soul shall be paid in full for what she has deserved?

N.Starkovsky 3:25

26

Say: “O God! O Lord of Sovereignty! You give power to whom You will and withdraw it from whom You will. You exalt whom You will and abase whom You will. All goodness is in Your hand and you’ve power over everything!

N.Starkovsky 3:26

27

You allow the night to catch up the day and the day to catch up the night. You bring forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. You provide without reckoning for everyone You will.”

N.Starkovsky 3:27

28

Do not let the believers befriend disbelievers in preference to believers, except for safety, otherwise, God will not help them. God cautions you against Himself, indeed, to God is [your] return!

N.Starkovsky 3:28

29

Say: “God knows what you conceal in your souls and what you reveal. He knows everything in Heavens and earth — indeed, God has power over all things!

N.Starkovsky 3:29

30

On that Day, every soul shall be confronted with all the good she has done and all the evil she has done. Then she will wish [evil] to depart from her far away. God cautions you against Himself, but God is full of good will for [His] servants!

N.Starkovsky 3:30
