Alif Lam Ra We have revealed to you this Book so that, by their Lord's command, you may lead men from darkness to the light: to the path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy One,

W.Khan 14:1

2

to God, who possesses whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Woe to those who deny the truth, for they shall be sternly punished!

W.Khan 14:2

3

Woe to those who love this life more than the Hereafter; who turn others away from the path of God and seek to make it crooked. They have gone far astray.

W.Khan 14:3

4

Each messenger We have sent has spoken in the language of his own people, so that he might make the message clear to them. But God lets go astray whom He will and guides whom He pleases. He is the Almighty, the All Wise.

W.Khan 14:4

5

We sent Moses with Our signs, saying, 'Lead your people out of the darkness into the light, and remind them of God's Days. In that there are signs for every patient, grateful person.'

W.Khan 14:5

6

Moses said to his people, 'Remember God's goodness to you when He delivered you from Pharaoh's people who were treating you cruelly, putting your sons to death and sparing only your daughters. Surely that was a great trial from your Lord.

W.Khan 14:6

7

Remember also the time when your Lord declared, “If you are grateful, I will surely bestow more favours on you; but if you are ungrateful, then know that My punishment is severe indeed.”'

W.Khan 14:7

Moses said, 'Even if you should deny the truth, and all who dwell on earth together, God is self-sufficient, praiseworthy.'

W.Khan 14:8

Has not news come to you concerning those who preceded you, such as Noah's people, and the 'Ad and Thamud, as well as those who came after them? Only God knows who they were. The messengers came to them with clear signs, but they put their hands to their mouths saying, 'We deny the message you have been sent with. We have grave doubts about what you are inviting us to do.'

W.Khan 14:9

10

Their messengers said, 'Is there any doubt about God, the Originator of the heavens and earth? He calls you to Him in order to forgive you some of your offences and to reprieve you for a specific period.' They said, 'You are only human beings like ourselves! You want to divert us from what our forefathers have been worshipping, so bring us some clear authority.'

W.Khan 14:10

11

Their messengers replied, 'We are indeed mortals like yourselves. But God bestows His grace on such of His servants as He chooses. We cannot give you miracles, except by God's leave. In God let true believers put their trust

W.Khan 14:11

12

and why should we not put our trust in God when He has already guided us to our paths? We will, surely, bear with patience all the harm you do us. So in God let those who trust put their trust.'

W.Khan 14:12

13

Those who deny the truth said to their messengers, 'We shall banish you from our land unless you return to our ways.' But their Lord inspired the messengers, saying, 'We shall destroy the evil-doers,

W.Khan 14:13

14

and settle you on the land to succeed them. That is (in store) for anyone who is in awe of meeting Me, and who heeds My warnings.'

W.Khan 14:14

15

When they sought Our Judgement, every stubborn oppressor was frustrated.

W.Khan 14:15

16

Beyond him is Hell, and he shall drink putrid water;

W.Khan 14:16

17

he will sip and will not find it easy to swallow it. Death will approach him from every quarter, yet he will not die. More intense suffering will lie ahead of him.

W.Khan 14:17

18

The works of those who deny their Lord are like ashes which the wind scatters on a stormy day: they shall gain nothing from what they do. To act thus is to stray far into error.

W.Khan 14:18

19

Do you not see that God has created the heavens and the earth for a purpose? He can eliminate you if He wills and bring into being a new creation:

W.Khan 14:19

20

that is no difficult thing for God.

W.Khan 14:20

21

They shall all appear before God and the weak will say to those who behaved proudly, 'We were your followers. Can you protect us from God's punishment?' They will reply, 'Had God given us guidance, we would have guided you. It is all the same whether we are patient or impatient; there is no escape for us.'

W.Khan 14:21

22

When the Judgement has been passed, Satan will say to them, 'God made you a true promise; I too made you promises, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you responded to me. Do not now blame me, but blame yourselves! I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I reject your former act in associating me with God.' The wrongdoers will have a painful punishment.

W.Khan 14:22

23

But those who believed and did good deeds will be brought into Gardens with rivers flowing through them. They shall abide there forever by their Lord's permission, and will be welcomed with the greeting, 'Peace'!

W.Khan 14:23

24

Do you not see how God compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches are in the sky,

W.Khan 14:24

25

it yields its fruit each season with its Lord's permissionGod makes such comparisons for people, in order that they may take heed

W.Khan 14:25

26

but an evil word is like an evil tree torn out of the earth; it has no foothold.

W.Khan 14:26

27

God will strengthen the believers with His steadfast word, both in the present life and in the Hereafter. God lets the wrongdoers go astray. He does what He wills.

W.Khan 14:27

28

Do you not see those who, in exchange for God's favour, offer only ingratitude and cause their people to descend into the Abode of Ruin?

W.Khan 14:28

29

In Hell shall they burn; an evil place to stay.

W.Khan 14:29

30

They have set up rivals to God to lead people away from His path. Say, 'Enjoy yourselves awhile: you will then proceed to the Fire.'
