2
Do people think that once they say, 'We believe,' they will be left alone and not be put to the test?
3
We certainly tried those who have gone before them, so God will certainly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are lying.
4
Do those who do evil imagine that they will escape Us? How ill they judge!
5
He who hopes to meet God should know that God's appointed hour is sure to come. He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.
6
And whoever strives, strives only for himself God is independent of all His creation
7
as for those who have faith and do good works, We shall certainly cleanse them of their evil deeds and reward them according to the best of their actions.
8
We have enjoined man to show kindness to his parents. But if they bid you associate with Me something about which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me you shall all return, and I shall tell you about all that you have done.
9
We shall surely admit those who believe and do good deeds to the company of the righteous.
10
Some profess to believe in God, but when they suffer for God's cause they mistake the persecution of man for the punishment of God. But when help comes to you from God, they will say, 'We have always been with you.' Is not God fully aware of what is in the hearts of all creatures?
11
Most certainly God will mark out those who believe and mark out those who are hypocrites.
12
Those who deny the truth say to the faithful, 'Follow our way, and we will bear the burden of your sins.' But they will bear none of their sins. They are surely lying.
13
They shall bear their own burdens, and other burdens besides. On the Day of Resurrection they shall be questioned about their false assertions.
14
We sent Noah to his people and he lived among them for fifty short of a thousand years; then the deluge overtook them, for they were wrongdoers.
15
But We saved him and those who were with him in the Ark and made the event a sign for mankind.
16
Tell of Abraham. He said to his people, 'Worship God and fear Him, that would be best for you, if only you knew.
17
You worship idols besides God and fabricate falsehoods. Those whom you worship besides God have no power to provide sustenance for you. So seek your sustenance from God and worship Him and be grateful to Him, for to Him you shall return.
18
If you reject the truth, other communities before you also rejected the truth. The messenger's responsibility is only to convey the message clearly.'
19
Do they not see how God originates creation, then reproduces it? That surely is easy for God.
20
Tell them, 'Roam the earth and see how He originated creation. Then God will bring into being your second life. God has power over all things.
21
He punishes whom He will and shows mercy to whom He pleases. And to Him you shall be returned.
22
You cannot defeat His purpose on earth or in heaven; nor have you any friend or helper besides God.'
23
Those who deny God's revelations and the meeting with Himit is they who have despaired of My mercy. They will suffer a grievous punishment.
24
The only response of Abraham's people was, 'Kill him or burn him!' But God saved him from the fire. Surely in this there are signs for people who believe.
25
Abraham said, 'You have taken up the worship of idols, instead of God, to promote friendship between yourselves in the present life. But on the Day of Judgement, you will disown and curse one another. Your abode will be the Fire and you will have no helpers.'
26
Lot was the one who believed in him and said, 'I shall migrate to another land for the sake of my Lord. He is the Mighty One, the Wise One.'
27
We gave him Isaac and Jacob and granted prophethood and the Book to his descendants. We gave him his reward in this life and in the Hereafter he shall dwell among the righteous.
28
We sent Lot to his people and he said to them, 'Indeed you commit obscenity such as no people before you have ever committed.
29
You approach men and waylay them on the road and commit depravities within your gatherings.' But his people's only reply was, 'Bring down God's punishment upon us, if what you say be true.'
30
Lot prayed, 'Lord, help me against this wicked people.'
