SIPARA 13
 
SURA IBRAHIM

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

  1. Alif Lam Ra. A Book which We have revealed unto thee, in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light, -- by the leave of their Lord -- to the Way of (Him) Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!
  2. Of Allah, to Whom do belong all things in the heavens and on earth! But alas for the Unbelievers for a terrible Penalty (their Unfaith will bring them)!
  3. Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter, who hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: They are astray by a long distance.
  4. We sent an apostle except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: And He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.
  5. We sent Moses with Our Signs (and the command), "Bring out thy people from the depths of darkness into light, and teach them to remember the Days of Allah." Verily in this there are Signs for such as are firmly patient and constant, -- grateful and appreciative.
  6. Remember! Moses said to his people: "Call to mind the favor of Allah to you when He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh: They set you hard tasks and punishments, slaughtered your sons, and let your womenfolk live: Therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord."
  7. And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are grateful, I will add more (favors) unto you; but if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed."
  8. And Moses said: "If ye show ingratitude, ye and all on earth together, -- yet is Allah Free of all wants, Worthy of all praise.
  9. Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? of the people of Noah, and `Ad, and Thamud? and of those who (came) after them? None knows them but Allah. To them came apostles with Clear (Signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "We do deny (the mission) on which ye have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us."
  10. Their apostles said: "Is there a doubt about Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? It is He Who invites you, in order that He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a term appointed!" They said: "Ah! ye are no more than human, like ourselves! Ye wish to turn us away from the (gods) our fathers used to worship: Then bring us some clear authority."
  11. Their apostles said to them: "True, we are human like yourselves, but Allah doth grant His grace to such of His servants as He pleases. It is not for us to bring you an authority except as Allah permits. And on Allah let all men of faith put their trust.
  12. "No reason have we why we should not put our trust on Allah. Indeed He has guided us to the Ways we (follow). We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us: For those who put their trust should put their trust on Allah."
  13. And the Unbelievers said to their apostles: "Be sure we shall drive you out of our land, or ye shall return to our religion." But their Lord inspired (this Message) to them: "Verily We shall cause the wrongdoers to perish!"
  14. "And verily We shall cause you to abide in the land, and succeed them. This for such as fear the time when they shall stand before My tribunal, such as fear the punishment denounced."
  15. But they sought victory and decision (there and then), and frustration was the lot of every powerful obstinate transgressor.
  16. In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water.
  17. In gulps will he sip it, but never well he be near swallowing it down his throat: Death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: And in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.
  18. The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they have earned: That is the straying far, far (from the goal).
  19. Seest thou not that Allah created the Heavens and the earth in Truth? If He so will, He can remove you and put (in your place) a new Creation?
  20. Nor is that for Allah any great matter.
  21. They will all be marshalled before Allah together: Then will the weak say to those who were arrogant "For us, we but followed you; can ye then avail us at all against the wrath of Allah?" They will reply, "If we had received the guidance of Allah, we should have given it to you: To us it makes no difference (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience: For ourselves there is no way of escape."
  22. And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you, but ye listened to me: Then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrongdoers there must be a Grievous Penalty."
  23. But those who believe and work righteousness will be admitted to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their Lord: Their greeting therein will be: "Peace!"
  24. Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? a goodly Word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,
  25. It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.
