Alif, Lam, Ra. A Scripture that We revealed to you, that you may bring humanity from darkness to light—with the permission of their Lord—to the path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.

T.Itani 14:1

2

God—to whom belongs what is in the heavens and the earth. And woe to the disbelievers from a severe torment.

T.Itani 14:2

3

Those who prefer the present life to the Hereafter, and repel from the path of God, and seek to make it crooked—these are far astray.

T.Itani 14:3

4

We never sent any messenger except in the language of his people, to make things clear for them. God leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

T.Itani 14:4

5

We sent Moses with Our signs: “Bring your people out of darkness into light, and remind them of the Days of God.” In that are signs for every patient and thankful person.”

T.Itani 14:5

6

Moses said to his people, “Remember God’s blessings upon you, as He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who inflicted on you terrible suffering, slaughtering your sons while sparing your daughters. In that was a serious trial from your Lord.”

T.Itani 14:6

7

And when your Lord proclaimed: “If you give thanks, I will grant you increase; but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe.”

T.Itani 14:7

8

And Moses said, “Even if you are ungrateful, together with everyone on earth—God is in no need, Worthy of Praise.”

T.Itani 14:8

9

Has not the story reached you, of those before you, the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood—and those after them? None knows them except God. Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, but they tried to silence them, and said, “We reject what you are sent with, and we are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to.”

T.Itani 14:9

10

Their messengers said, “Is there any doubt about God, Maker of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to forgive you your sins, and to defer you until a stated term.” They said, “You are only humans like us; you want to turn us away from what our ancestors worshiped; so bring us a clear proof.”

T.Itani 14:10

11

Their messengers said to them, “We are only humans like you, but God favors whomever He wills from among His servants. We cannot possibly show you any proof, except by leave of God. In God let the faithful put their trust.”

T.Itani 14:11

12

“And why should we not trust in God, when He has guided us in our ways? We will persevere in the face of your persecution. And upon God the reliant should rely.”

T.Itani 14:12

13

Those who disbelieved said to their messengers, “We will expel you from our land, unless you return to our religion.” And their Lord inspired them: “We will destroy the wrongdoers.”

T.Itani 14:13

14

“And We will settle you in the land after them. That is for him who fears My Majesty, and fears My threats.”

T.Itani 14:14

15

And they prayed for victory, and every stubborn tyrant came to disappointment.

T.Itani 14:15

16

Beyond him lies Hell, and he will be given to drink putrid water.

T.Itani 14:16

17

He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow it. Death will come at him from every direction, but he will not die. And beyond this is relentless suffering.

T.Itani 14:17

18

The likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their works are like ashes, in a fierce wind, on a stormy day. They have no control over anything they have earned. That is the utmost misguidance.

T.Itani 14:18

19

Do you not see that God created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wills, He can do away with you, and bring a new creation.

T.Itani 14:19

20

And that is not difficult for God.

T.Itani 14:20

21

They will emerge before God, altogether. The weak will say to those who were proud, “We were your followers, can you protect us at all against God’s punishment?” They will say, “Had God guided us, we would have guided you. It is the same for us; whether we mourn, or are patient; there is no asylum for us.”

T.Itani 14:21

22

And Satan will say, when the issue is settled, “God has promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your aid, nor can you come to my aid. I reject your associating with me in the past. The wrongdoers will have a torment most painful.”

T.Itani 14:22

23

But those who believed and did good deeds will be admitted into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to remain therein forever, by leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: “Peace.”

T.Itani 14:23

24

Do you not see how God presents a parable? A good word is like a good tree—its root is firm, and its branches are in the sky.

T.Itani 14:24

25

It yields its fruits every season by the will of its Lord. God presents the parables to the people, so that they may reflect.

T.Itani 14:25

26

And the parable of a bad word is that of a bad tree—it is uprooted from the ground; it has no stability.

T.Itani 14:26

27

God gives firmness to those who believe, with the firm word, in this life, and in the Hereafter. And God leads the wicked astray. God does whatever He wills.

T.Itani 14:27

28

Have you not seen those who exchanged the blessing of God with blasphemy, and landed their people into the house of perdition?

T.Itani 14:28

29

Hell—they will roast in it. What a miserable settlement.

T.Itani 14:29

30

And they set up rivals to God, in order to lead away from His path. Say, “Enjoy yourselves; your destination is the Fire.”

T.Itani 14:30
