Verses 18 — Madani; Revealed at Medina
— Sections 2
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful
1. Whatever is in the heavens and on
earth, doth declare the Praises and Glory of Allah. to Him belongs dominion,
and to Him belongs praise: and He has power over all things.
2. It is He Who has created you; and of
you are some that are Unbelievers, and some that are Believers: and Allah sees
well all that ye do.
3. He has created the heavens and the
earth in just proportions, and has given you shape, and made your shapes
beautiful: and to Him is the final Goal.
4. He knows what is in the heavens and
on earth; and He knows what ye conceal and what ye reveal: yea, Allah knows
well the (secrets) of (all) hearts.
5. Has not the story reached you, of
those who rejected Faith aforetime? So they tasted the evil result of their
conduct; and they had a grievous Penalty.
6. That was because there came to them
apostles with Clear Signs, but they said: "Shall (mere) human beings
direct us?" So they rejected (the Message) and turned away. But Allah can
do without (them): and Allah is free of all needs, worthy of all praise.
7. The Unbelievers think that they will
not be raised up (for Judgment). Say: "Yea, By my Lord, Ye shall surely be
raised up: then shall ye be told (the truth) of all that ye did. And that is
easy for Allah."
8. Believe, therefore, in Allah and His
Messenger, and in the Light which we have sent down. And Allah is well
acquainted with all that ye do.
9. The Day that He assembles you (all)
for a Day of Assembly,— that will be a Day of mutual loss and gain (among you),
and those who believe in Allah and work righteousness,— He will remove from
them their ills, and He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow,
to dwell therein for ever: that will be the Supreme Achievement.
10. But those who reject Faith and
treat Our Signs as falsehoods, they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell
therein for aye: and evil is that Goal.
11. No kind of calamity can occur,
except by the leave of Allah. and if any one believes in Allah, ((Allah))
guides his heart (aright): for Allah knows all things.
12. So obey Allah, and obey His
Messenger. but if ye turn back, the duty of Our Messenger is but to proclaim
(the Message) clearly and openly.
13. Allah. There is no god but He: and
on Allah, therefore, let the Believers put their trust.
14. O ye who believe! Truly, among your
wives and your children are (some that are) enemies to yourselves: so beware of
them! But if ye forgive and overlook, and cover up (their faults), verily Allah
is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
15. Your riches and your children may
be but a trial: but in the Presence of Allah, is the highest, Reward.
16. So fear Allah as much as ye can;
listen and obey and spend in charity for the benefit of your own soul and those
saved from the covetousness of their own souls,— they are the ones that achieve
prosperity.
17. If ye loan to Allah, a beautiful
loan, He will double it to your (credit), and He will grant you Forgiveness:
for Allah is most Ready to appreciate (service), Most Forbearing,—
18. Knower of what is open, Exalted in
Might, Full of Wisdom.
