Qur'an 20100504

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

8. When some trouble touches man, he cries unto his Lord, turning to God in repentance. But when God bestows a favor as from Godself, does he forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he sets up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from God's path. Say, "Enjoy your blasphemy for a little while. Verily you are of the Companions of the Fire."

9. Is one who worships devoutly during the hours of the night, prostrating himself or standing, who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the mercy of his Lord? Say, "Are those equal, those who know, and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition."

10. Say, "O you servants who believe! Fear your Lord! Good is for those who do good in this world. Spacious is Allah's earth! Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure."

11. Say, "Verily I am commanded to serve Allah with sincere devotion."

12. And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow in Islam.

13. Say, "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the penalty of a Mighty Day."

14. Say, "It is Allah I serve, with my sincere devotion."

15. Serve you what you will besides God. Say, "Truly those in loss are those who lose their own souls, and their people on the Day of Judgement. Ah! That is indeed the evident loss!"
