1

(I) Praise be to God, Originator of Heaven and Earth, Who appoints the Angels as winged messengers in pairs, and in threes and fours. He increases anything He wishes through creation; God is Capable of everything!

T.B.Irving 35:1

2

There is no withholding any mercy that God may open up for mankind; while neither is there any (means of) sending anything later on once He has withheld it. He is the Powerful, the Wise.

T.B.Irving 35:2

3

Mankind, remember God's favor towards you. Is there any creator besides God who provides for you out of the sky and earth? There is no deity except Him; yet you shrug Him off!

T.B.Irving 35:3

4

If they should reject you, well, messengers before you have already been rejected. To God are matters referred.

T.B.Irving 35:4

5

Mankind, God's promise is true; do not let worldly life lure you on nor let the Deceiver deceive you concerning God.

T.B.Irving 35:5

6

Satan is an enemy of yours, so treat him as an enemy: he only calls his party to become inmates of the Blaze.

T.B.Irving 35:6

7

Those who disbelieve will have severe punishment while those who believe and act honorably will have forgiveness and great earnings.

T.B.Irving 35:7

8

(II) Does anyone exist whose evil action seems so attractive to him that he regards it as fine? God lets anyone He wishes go astray while He guides whomever He wishes. Do not let yourself go around pitying them; God is Aware of what they are producing.

T.B.Irving 35:8

9

God is the One Who sends the winds to blow the clouds along. We drive them on to a dead land, and revive the earth by means of them after it has died. Such is regeneration.

T.B.Irving 35:9

10

For anyone who has been wanting glory, God holds all glory: towards Him do wholesome words ascend while honorable action He exalts. Those who plot evil deeds will have severe punishment while their very plotting will collapse.

T.B.Irving 35:10

11

God has created you from dust, then from a drop of semen; then He divided you into couples. No female conceives nor gives birth unless He knows it. No elderly person grows even older nor has anything shortened from his life unless it is (written down) in some book. That is easy for God (to do)!

T.B.Irving 35:11

12

Both seas are not alike: this one is sweet, fresh, refreshing to drink, while the other is salty, briny. From each you eat fresh meat and extract jewelry you wear. You see ships sailing along on it so you may seek His bounty and so that you may feel thankful.

T.B.Irving 35:12

13

He wraps night up into daytime and wraps daytime up in night, and regulates the sun and moon; each runs along on a stated course. Such is God, your Lord! Control belongs to Him; while the ones whom you appeal to instead of Him do not control a wisp.

T.B.Irving 35:13

14

If you should appeal to them, they will not hear your appeal; while even though they heard it, they would not respond to you. On Resurrection Day they will disown your associating (them with God). No one notifies you in the way that someone Who is Informed does.

T.B.Irving 35:14

15

(III) Mankind, you are so poor as far as God is concerned, while God is Transcendent, Praiseworthy.

T.B.Irving 35:15

16

If He so wished, He could take you away and bring some fresh creation;

T.B.Irving 35:16

17

that would not be impossible for God to do.

T.B.Irving 35:17

18

No burdened (soul) may bear another's burden : if some overladen soul should call out for someone else to carry his load, no one would bear any part of it even though he were a near relative. You can only warn those who dread their Lord although (He is) Unseen, and keep up prayer. Anyone who purifies himself, only purifies his own soul. Towards God should lie one's goal.

T.B.Irving 35:18

19

The blind and the sighted are not equal,

T.B.Irving 35:19

20

nor are darkness and light,

T.B.Irving 35:20

21

nor a shady nook and a heatwave.

T.B.Irving 35:21

22

The living and the dead are not alike. God lets anyone He wishes listen, while you will not make those in their graves hear.

T.B.Irving 35:22

23

You are nothing but a warner ;

T.B.Irving 35:23

24

We have sent you as an announcer and a warner about the Truth. No nation exists unless some warner has passed among them .

T.B.Irving 35:24

25

Yet if they should reject you, well the ones before them rejected (their messengers too); their messengers brought them explanations, the Psalms, and an enlightening Book.

T.B.Irving 35:25

26

Then I seized the ones who disbelieved. How great was My displeasure!

T.B.Irving 35:26

27

(IV) Have you not seen how God sends water down from the sky? We produce different colored fruits with it. From the mountains come white and red marbling in different shades as well as black obsidian.

T.B.Irving 35:27

28

Some men, wild beasts and livestock are of different colors as well. Yet only His learned servants dread God (Alone), even though God is Powerful, Forgiving.

T.B.Irving 35:28

29

The ones who recite God's book, keep up prayer and spend something both secretly and publicly from whatever He has provided for them, can hope for a business which will never slacken,

T.B.Irving 35:29

30

so He may repay them their earnings and grant them even more out of His bounty. He is Forgiving, Appreciative.

T.B.Irving 35:30
