(I) A.L.M.R. These are verses from the Book; what has been sent down to you by your Lord is the Truth, even though most men do not believe so.

T.B.Irving 13:1

2

God is the One Who has raised up the Heavens without any support you can see. Then He mounted on the Throne and regulated the sun and moon; each runs along on a specific course. He directs the matter; He manifests signs so that you may be convinced about meeting your Lord.

T.B.Irving 13:2

3

He is the One Who has spread the earth out and placed headlands and rivers on it, and has placed two pairs for every kind of fruit on it. He wraps daylight up in night. In that are signs for folk who meditate.

T.B.Irving 13:3

4

On the earth are neighboring tracts, and vineyards, cultivated fields and datepalms, (growing) in clumps and all alone, watered from a single source. We make some of them excel others in food value. In that are signs for folk who use their reason.

T.B.Irving 13:4

5

If you should feel astonished, then how much more astonishing is their statement: "When we have become dust, shall we (end up) in some fresh creation?" Those are the ones who disbelieve in their Lord; such (persons) will have fetters (placed) around their necks and those will become inmates of the Fire, to live there for ever.

T.B.Irving 13:5

6

They want to hasten you on to commit evil rather than (to perform) a fine deed. Examples have already been set before them. Your Lord possesses forgiveness for mankind, no matter how wrong they are; though your Lord still is Stern with punishment.

T.B.Irving 13:6

7

Those who disbelieve say: "If only a sign were sent down from his Lord!" Yet you are only a warner; each folk has a guide.

T.B.Irving 13:7

8

(II)God knows what every female bears, and how some wombs may miscarry or else may wait too long. Everything has its measure with Him;

T.B.Irving 13:8

9

Knowing the Unseen and the Visible, (He is) the Great, the Exalted!

T.B.Irving 13:9

10

It is all the same for you whether one of you is secretive about what he says or speaks out about it, and whether one keeps to himself at night and struts around by day:

T.B.Irving 13:10

11

he has (angels) checking from both before him and behind him; they guard him at God's command. God does not change what any people may have until they change whatever they themselves have. Whenever God wants something bad (to happen) to any people, there is no way to avert it nor have they any patron except for Him.

T.B.Irving 13:11

12

He is the One Who shows you lightning to inspire both fear and expectation. He whips up the heavy clouds.

T.B.Irving 13:12

13

Thunder hymns His praise while angels stand in awe of Him. He sends down thunderbolts and strikes anyone He wishes with them. Yet they argue on and on about God while He is Stern in strategy.

T.B.Irving 13:13

14

To him should go the appeal for Truth; those they appeal to instead of Him will never respond to them in any way, except as someone does who stretches out his palms for water, so it may reach his mouth since he himself can never reach it. An appeal by disbelievers merely goes astray.

T.B.Irving 13:14

15

Whoever is in Heaven and Earth bows down on their knees before God obediently or grudgingly, just as their shadows do so in the morning and the evening.

T.B.Irving 13:15

16

SAY: "Who is Lord of Heaven and Earth?" SAY: "God (Alone)." SAY: "Yet have you adopted patrons besides Him who control no benefit nor any harm by themselves?" SAY: "Are the blind and the sighted person equal? Or is darkness equal to light? Or have they given God associates whom they have created just as He creates, so that all creation seems just the same to them?" SAY: "God is the Creator of everything; He exists Alone, the Irresistible.

T.B.Irving 13:16

17

He sends down water from the sky so that river valleys flow according to how much there is. The torrent carries along swelling foam, foam just like what comes out of fire they have kindled to smelt jewelry or some equipment with. Even so God knocks Truth and falsehood together (to compare them). As for the foam, the scum will go away; while whatever benefits mankind lingers on in the earth. Thus God compares things with one another.

T.B.Irving 13:17

18

Those who respond to their Lord will have the finest (reward) while those who do not respond to Him, even if they had everything on earth and the like of it besides, would never redeem themselves with it. Those will have the worst reckoning; their refuge will be Hell and how awful a resting place it is!

T.B.Irving 13:18

19

(III) Is someone who knows how whatever has been sent down to you from your Lord is the Truth, like someone who is blind? Only prudent persons bear it in mind,

T.B.Irving 13:19

20

those who fulfil God's agreement and do not break the covenant,

T.B.Irving 13:20

21

who transmit anything God has ordered to be transmitted, and dread their Lord and fear the worst reckoning,

T.B.Irving 13:21

22

who persevere in seeking their Lord's countenance and keep up prayer and spend whatever We have provided them with both secretly and publicly, and ward off evil with good; those will have the compensation of the (final) Home,

T.B.Irving 13:22

23

gardens of Eden which they will enter, as well as anyone who has acted honorably among their forefathers, their spouses and their offspring. Angels will come in on them by every gate:

T.B.Irving 13:23

24

Peace be upon you because you have acted so patiently! How blissful will the compensation of the Home be!

T.B.Irving 13:24

25

Those who have broken God's agreement after having pledged it, and intercepted what God has commanded to be transmitted, and acted depraved on earth will have the Curse and theirs will be the worst home!

T.B.Irving 13:25

26

God extends and measures out sustenance for anyone He wishes, while they are happy with worldly life. Yet what is worldly life compared with the Hereafter except as something to be enjoyed(as it passes)?

T.B.Irving 13:26

27

(IV)Those who disbelieve say: "If only a sign were sent down to him from his Lord!" SAY: "God lets anyone He wishes go astray, and guides to Himself anyone who feels concerned

T.B.Irving 13:27

28

the ones who believe and whose hearts feel tranquil through remembering God "Surely hearts feel tranquil whenever God is mentioned!"

T.B.Irving 13:28

29

Those who believe and perform honorable deeds will find gladness and the finest journey's end.

T.B.Irving 13:29

30

Thus We have sent you to a nation- nations have passed away long before it-so you may recite to them what We have inspired you with even though they disbelieve in the Mercy- giving! SAY: "He is my Lord: there is no God except Him. On Him do I rely and towards Him (goes) my repentance."

T.B.Irving 13:30
