1

(I) The revelation of the Book (occurs) through God, the Powerful, the Wise!

T.B.Irving 39:1

2

We have sent the Book down to you with the Truth, so serve God sincerely: religion belongs to Him.

T.B.Irving 39:2

3

Pure religion belongs to God (Alone)! The ones who take on (other) patrons instead of Him (claim): "We do not serve them except to bring us closer to God in homage." God will judge among them about whatever they have been differing over; God does not guide anyone who is a disbelieving liar.

T.B.Irving 39:3

4

If God had wanted to adopt a son, He would select anyone He wished from what He has created. Glory be to Him! He is God Alone, the Irresistible!

T.B.Irving 39:4

5

He has created Heaven and Earth for Truth. He wraps night up in daytime, and wraps daytime up in night. He regulates the sun and moon: each runs along on a specific course. Is He not the Powerful, the Forgiving?

T.B.Irving 39:5

6

He has created you (all) from a single soul; then made its mate from it. He has sent down eight types of livestock for you. He creates you in your mothers' wombs, one creation following upon another creation in three (stages of) darkness. Such is God, your Lord. Control belongs to Him; there is no God except for Him. Yet you disregard (Him)!

T.B.Irving 39:6

7

Even if you disbelieved, God could still dispense with you. He does not approve of disbelief among His servants; however if you act grateful, He will approve of you. No burdened (soul) may bear another's burden. Soon your return will be unto your Lord; then He will notify you about anything you have been doing. He is Aware of everything that is on your minds.

T.B.Irving 39:7

8

Whenever any trouble afflicts a man, he appeals to his Lord, showing his concern for Him; then when He confers some favor on him from Himself, he forgets what he had already been appealing to Him about, and sets up rivals for God so he may mislead (people) from His way. SAY: "Enjoy your disbelief for a little while; you will (soon) be an inmate of the Fire!"

T.B.Irving 39:8

9

Who is so prayerful during the small hours of the night, bowing down on his knees (in worship), standing on his guard about the Hereafter, and hoping for his Lord's mercy? SAY: "Are those who know, to be considered equal to those who do not know? Only prudent men reflect (on this)."

T.B.Irving 39:9

10

(II) SAY: "My servants who believe, heed your Lord. Those who act kindly in this world will have kindness (as their reward). God's earth is vast ! Surely the patient will be paid their wages without any reckoning."

T.B.Irving 39:10

11

SAY: "I have been ordered to serve God sincerely, (making) religion exclusively His.

T.B.Irving 39:11

12

I have been ordered to be the first of those who are committed to (live in) peace."

T.B.Irving 39:12

13

SAY: "I fear the torment of an awful day if I should disobey my Lord."

T.B.Irving 39:13

14

SAY: "God do I worship sincerely; my religion belongs to Him.

T.B.Irving 39:14

15

So worship anything you wish to instead of Him!" SAY: "The losers will be those who have lost their own souls as well as their families' on Resurrection Day. That will be an obvious loss!

T.B.Irving 39:15

16

They will have sheets of fire above them and sheets beneath them." That is how God frightens His servants: "My servants, heed Me!"

T.B.Irving 39:16

17

The ones who turn aside from the arrogant ones lest they serve them, and turn toward God, will have good news: proclaim such to My servants

T.B.Irving 39:17

18

who listen to the Statement and follow the best in it. Those are the ones whom God has guided; those are prudent persons.

T.B.Irving 39:18

19

Against whom has the sentence of torment been carried out? Will you save someone who is (already) in the Fire?

T.B.Irving 39:19

20

Still the ones who heed their Lord will have mansions placed above it, with rooms constructed underneath through which rivers flow, as God's promise. God never breaks any appointment.

T.B.Irving 39:20

21

Have you not seen how God sends down water from the sky and lets it trickle through the earth into springs? Then He produces crops of different colors by means of it; next it withers away so you see it yellowed; then he turns it into stubble. In that is a Reminder for prudent persons.

T.B.Irving 39:21

22

(III) Anyone whose breast God has opened up to Isl�m will (receive) light from his Lord. It will be awful for those whose hearts have been hardened against remembering God! Such people are in obvious error.

T.B.Irving 39:22

23

God has sent down the finest report in a consistently duplicated Book. The skins of those who dread their Lord tingle with it; then their skins and hearts are softened up for remembering God. Such is God's guidance; He guides anyone He wishes by means of it, while anyone whom God lets go astray will have no one to guide him.

T.B.Irving 39:23

24

Who is it who wards off the worst torment from his person on Resurrection Day? Wrongdoers will be told: "Taste what you have been earning!"

T.B.Irving 39:24

25

The ones who preceded them denied it, so torment came at them from somewhere they did not notice.

T.B.Irving 39:25

26

God lets them taste disgrace during worldly life while torment in the Hereafter will be even greater if they only realized it!

T.B.Irving 39:26

27

We have made up every sort of comparison for mankind in this Reading so that they may be reminded by

T.B.Irving 39:27

28

an Arabic Qur'an possessing no ambiguity so that they may do their duty.

T.B.Irving 39:28

29

God has compared one man who has quarrelsome partners with another man dealing peacefully with (still another) man. Are either of them comparable? Praise be to God! Yet most of them do not realize it.

T.B.Irving 39:29

30

You are mortal and they are mortal (too) .

T.B.Irving 39:30
