(I) A.L.R. (This is) a Book whose verses are decisive, and have been set forth in detail in the presence of Someone (Who is) Wise, Informed

T.B.Irving 11:1

2

so that you will serve only God (Alone): "I am a warner, a herald from Him to you;"

T.B.Irving 11:2

3

and so you will seek forgiveness from your Lord; then turn towards Him (in repentance). He will let you enjoy a handsome allotment for a specific period, and grant His bounty to everyone possessing bounty. If you should turn away, then I fear the torment of a great day for you.

T.B.Irving 11:3

4

Unto God is your return; He is Capable of everything!

T.B.Irving 11:4

5

Indeed they wrap their breasts up to try to hide things from Him. Whenever they attempt to cover themselves up with their clothing, does He not know whatever they conceal and what they disclose? He is Aware of whatever (their) breasts contain.

T.B.Irving 11:5

6

(I, cont'd) No animal exists on earth unless God provides for it. He knows its lair and its burrow; everything is (to be found) in a clear Book.

T.B.Irving 11:6

7

He is the One Who created Heaven and Earth in six days. His Throne rises over the water, so He may test which of you is finest in action. If you should say: "You will (all) be raised up after death," those who disbelieve would say: "This is just sheer magic!"

T.B.Irving 11:7

8

If We postponed torment for them till a period to be counted out, they would say: "What is delaying it?" On the day when it comes to them, there will be no means for them to dodge it, while whatever they had been sneering at will sweep in around them.

T.B.Irving 11:8

9

(II) If We ever let man taste any mercy from Us, then snatched it away from him, he would become despondent, ungrateful.

T.B.Irving 11:9

10

Yet if We let him taste favor after some hardship has afflicted him, he says: "Evil things have departed from me!" He is so cheerful, boastful,

T.B.Irving 11:10

11

except for the ones who act patiently and perform honorable deeds; those will have forgiveness and a big wage.

T.B.Irving 11:11

12

Perhaps you are abandoning something that has been inspired in you, and your breast is feeling cramped because of it, since they say: "Why has not a treasure been sent down to him, or some angel come along with him?": You are only a warner, while God is a Trustee for everything.

T.B.Irving 11:12

13

Or do they say: "He has made it all up!" SAY: "Well then bring chapters made up like it! Appeal to anyone you can manage to instead of to God if you are so truthful.

T.B.Irving 11:13

14

If they do not respond to you, then know it has only been sent down with God's knowledge. There is no deity except Him. Will you not become Muslims?"

T.B.Irving 11:14

15

We shall repay anyone who has been wanting worldly life and its attraction according to their actions in it; they will not be caught short there.

T.B.Irving 11:15

16

Yet those will have only the Fire during the Hereafter while anything they have been producing in it will collapse and whatever they have been doing will (prove to) be useless.

T.B.Irving 11:16

17

What about someone who has (received) an explanation from his Lord and to whom a witness from Him is reciting while Moses' book lies before him as a token and a mercy? Such persons believe in it. Anyone from the factions who disbelieve in it will have the Fire for his appointment, so do not be in any quandary about it; it is the Truth from your Lord, even though most men do not believe so.

T.B.Irving 11:17

18

Who is more in the wrong than someone who invents a lie about God? Those will be turned over to their Lord and witnesses will say: "These are the ones who have lied about their Lord!" Does not God's curse rest on wrongdoers,

T.B.Irving 11:18

19

those who obstruct God's way and attempt to make it crooked, and are disbelievers in the Hereafter?

T.B.Irving 11:19

20

Those will not prevent anything from happening on earth nor will they have any patrons besides God. Torment will be doubled for them. They have not been enabled to hear nor have they been observing (anything).

T.B.Irving 11:20

21

Such are the ones who have lost their own souls, while whatever they were inventing has led them astray.

T.B.Irving 11:21

22

It is positive they will lose most in the Hereafter!

T.B.Irving 11:22

23

Those who believe, perform honorable deeds, and yield unto their Lord, will become inhabitants of the Garden; they will live in it for ever.

T.B.Irving 11:23

24

Both groups can be compared to a blind and dumb man, alongside a sighted and hearing one. Are they alike for the purpose of comparison? Will you not bear this in mind?

T.B.Irving 11:24

25

(III) We sent Noah to his folk: "I am a plain warner for you,

T.B.Irving 11:25

26

so that you may worship nobody except God (Alone). I fear the torment of a painful day for you!"

T.B.Irving 11:26

27

The notables from among his own people who disbelieved said: "We regard you only as a human being like ourselves. We do not see that anyone follows you except those who are the meanest among us, who are just beginning to form opinions. We do not consider that you (all) have any advantage over us; rather we think you are lying.

T.B.Irving 11:27

28

He said: "My people, have you considered whether I have (brought) any explanation from my Lord? He has sent me mercy from His presence, although it has been disguised so far as you are concerned. Shall we compel you to (accept) it while you dislike it?

T.B.Irving 11:28

29

And my folk, I do not ask you for any money for it; my wages come only from God. Nor am I driving away those who believe: they will be meeting their Lord (anyhow). Yet I do see you are a folk who act out of ignorance.

T.B.Irving 11:29

30

My people, who will support me against God if I should drive them off? Will you not bear this in mind?

T.B.Irving 11:30
