Qur'an 20100323

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

46. Say, "I do admonish you on one point: that you do stand up before Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect. Your companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a terrible penalty."

47. Say, "No reward do I ask of you: it is in your interest. My reward is only due from Allah, and God is Witness to all things."

48. Say, "Verily my Lord does cast the Truth. God that has full knowledge of what is hidden."

49. Say, "The Truth has arrived, and falsehood neither creates anything new, nor restores anything."

50. Say, "If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul. But if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me. It is God Who hears all things, and is near."

Sheba 34:46-50

I do admonish you on one point: that you do stand up before Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect. Your companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a terrible penalty.

No reward do I ask of you: it is in your interest. My reward is only due from Allah, and God is Witness to all things.

Verily my Lord does cast the Truth. God that has full knowledge of what is hidden.

The Truth has arrived, and falsehood neither creates anything new, nor restores anything.

If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul. But if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me. It is God Who hears all things, and is near.

Qur'an 20100322

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

34. Never did We send a Warner to a population but the wealthy ones among them said, "We believe not in that with which you have been sent."

35. They said,"We have more in wealth and in sons, and we cannot be punished."

36. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom God pleases, but most men understand not."

37. It is not your wealth nor your sons that will bring you nearer to Us in degree, but only those who believe and work righteousness. These are the ones for whom there is a multiplied Reward for their deeds, while secure they are in dwellings on high.

38. Those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, will be given over into Punishment.

39. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of God's servants as God pleases, and nothing do you spend in the least but God replaces it, for God is the Best of those who grant Sustenance."

Sheba 34:34-39

Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom God pleases, but most men understand not.

Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of God's servants as God pleases, and nothing do you spend in the least but God replaces it, for God is the Best of those who grant Sustenance.
