Alif. Lam. Ra. A Book has been revealed to you, (Muhammad), so that, by the permission of their Lord, you would be able to lead people from darkness into light along the path of the Majestic, Praised One.

S.M.Sarwar 14:1

2

To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Woe to the disbelievers; they will face the most severe punishment!

S.M.Sarwar 14:2

3

It is they who have given preference to the worldly life over the life to come. They create obstacles in the way that leads to God and try to make it seem crooked. They are in manifest error.

S.M.Sarwar 14:3

4

All the Messengers that We sent spoke the language of their people so that they could explain (their message to them). God guides or causes to go astray whomever He wants. He is Majestic and All-wise.

S.M.Sarwar 14:4

5

We sent Moses and gave him miracles in order to lead his people from darkness into light and to remind them of the days of God. In this there is evidence (of the truth) for those who exercise patience and give thanks.

S.M.Sarwar 14:5

6

Moses told his people, "Remember the favors that God granted you when He saved you from the people of the Pharaoh who had punished you in the worst manner by murdering your sons and keeping your women alive. It was a great trial for you from your Lord.

S.M.Sarwar 14:6

7

Remember when your Lord said to you, 'If you give thanks, I shall give you greater (favors), but if you deny the Truth, know that My retribution is severe .

S.M.Sarwar 14:7

8

Moses told his people, "If you and everyone on the earth turn to disbelief, know that God is Self-sufficient and Praiseworthy."

S.M.Sarwar 14:8

9

Have you (believers) ever heard the news about those who lived before you, like the people of Noah, Ad, Thamud, and those who lived after them? No one knows about them except God. Messengers were sent to them with miracles, but they put their hands to their mouths and said, "We do not believe in whatever you preach and we are also doubtful and uncertain about that to which you invite us."

S.M.Sarwar 14:9

10

The Messengers asked them, "Could there be any doubt about the existence of God who has created the heavens and the earth? He calls you to Himself to forgive your sins. He gives you respite only until the appointed time." They said, "You are mere mortals like us. What you want is to prevent us from worshipping that which our fathers worshipped. Show us clear proof (if what you say is true)."

S.M.Sarwar 14:10

11

The Messengers replied, "We are certainly mere mortals like you, but God bestows His favors on whichever of His servants He wants. We can not bring you authority without the permission of God. The faithful should trust in God alone.

S.M.Sarwar 14:11

12

Why should we not trust in God when He has shown us the right way? We shall exercise patience against the troubles with which you afflict us. Whoever needs a trustee should trust in God."

S.M.Sarwar 14:12

13

The disbelievers told the Messengers, "We shall expel you from our land unless you revert to our religion." Their Lord then sent them (the messengers) a revelation, "We have decided to destroy the unjust

S.M.Sarwar 14:13

14

and settle you in the land thereafter. This is for those who are afraid of Me and of My warning."

S.M.Sarwar 14:14

15

They prayed for victory and the haughty transgressors were defeated.

S.M.Sarwar 14:15

16

Thereafter they will face hell fire wherein they will drink boiling water.

S.M.Sarwar 14:16

17

As they sip the unpleasant water, death will approach them from all sides, but they will never die. In addition to this, they will experience the most intense torment.

S.M.Sarwar 14:17

18

The deeds of those who deny the existence of their Lord are like ashes blown about by a strong wind on a stormy day. They will achieve nothing from their deeds. (What they have done) is a manifest error.

S.M.Sarwar 14:18

19

Do you not realize that God has created the heavens and the earth for a genuine purpose

S.M.Sarwar 14:19

20

and that it is not at all difficult for God to replace you with another creature if He so wills?

S.M.Sarwar 14:20

21

(On the Day of Judgment) everyone will appear before God and those who have been suppressed will say to their oppressors, "We were your followers, can you do anything to rescue us from the torment of God?" They will reply, "Had God guided us, we would also have guided you. It makes no difference whether we cry for help or exercise patience; there is no escape for us."

S.M.Sarwar 14:21

22

When the decree of God is issued, satan will say, "God's promise to you was true, but I, too, made a promise to you and disregarded it. I had no authority over you. I just called you and you answered. Do not blame me but blame yourselves. I cannot help you and you cannot help me. I did not agree with your belief that I was equal to God." The unjust will face a painful punishment.

S.M.Sarwar 14:22

23

The righteously striving believers will be admitted to the gardens wherein streams flow and they will live therein forever, by the permission of their Lord. Their greeting to each other will be, "Peace be with you."

S.M.Sarwar 14:23

24

Consider (Muhammad) how God (in a parable) compares the blessed Word to that of a blessed tree which has firm roots and branches rising up into the sky

S.M.Sarwar 14:24

25

and yields fruits in every season, by the permission of its Lord? God sets forth parables for people so that they may take heed.

S.M.Sarwar 14:25

26

An evil word is compared to an evil tree with no firm roots in the land and thus has no stability.

S.M.Sarwar 14:26

27

God strengthens the faith of the believers by the true Words in this world and in the life to come. He causes the unjust to go astray and does whatever He pleases.

S.M.Sarwar 14:27

28

Have you not seen those who changed the Word of God through disbelief and led their people to destruction?

S.M.Sarwar 14:28

29

They will suffer in Hell. What a terrible place to stay!

S.M.Sarwar 14:29

30

To lead people astray, they claimed their idols were equal to God. (Muhammad), tell them, "Enjoy yourselves and know that the only place for you to go will be hell fire."

S.M.Sarwar 14:30
