Qur'an 20100508

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

39. Say, "O my people! Do whatever you can. I will do. But soon will you know."

40. Who it is to whom comes a penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a penalty that abides.

41. Verily We have revealed the Book to you in Truth, for humans. He then that receives guidance benefits his own soul, but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor are you set over them to dispose of their affairs.

42. It is Allah that takes the souls at death, and those that die not, during their sleep. Those on whom God has passed the decree of death, God keeps back. But the rest God sends for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.

43. What... do they take for intercessors other than Allah? Say, "Even if they have no power whatsoever, and no intelligence?"

44. Say, "To Allah belongs exclusively intercession. To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. In the end, it is to God that you shall be brought back."

45. When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror, but when gods other than God are mentioned, behold they are filled with joy!

46. Say, "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! It is You that will judge between Your servants in those matters about which they have differed."

47. Even if the wrongdoers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgement, but something will confront them from Allah which they could never have counted upon!

48. For the evils of their deeds will confront them, and they will be encircled by that which they used to mock at!

49. Now when trouble touches man, he cries to Us: but when We bestow a favor upon him as from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge." Nay, but this is a trial, but most of them understand not!

50. Thus did those before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them.

51. No, the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and the wrongdoers of this- the evil results of their deeds will soon overtake them, and they will never be able to frustrate!

O my people! Do whatever you can. I will do. But soon will you know.

Even if they have no power whatsoever, and no intelligence?

To Allah belongs exclusively intercession. To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. In the end, it is to God that you shall be brought back.

O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! It is You that will judge between Your servants in those matters about which they have differed.
