Qur'an 20110824

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

48. They say, "When will this promise come to pass, if you speak the truth?"

49. Say, "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah Wills. To every people is a term appointed. When that term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor can they advance."

50. Say, "Do you see, if God's punishment should come to you by night or by day, what portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten?"

51. Would you believe in it at last, when it actually comes to pass? Ah, now? And you wanted to hasten it on!

52. At length will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste you the enduring punishment! You get but the recompense of what you earned!"

53. They seek to be informed by you, "Is that true?" Say, "Aye! By my Lord, it is the very truth! And you cannot frustrate it!"

54. Every soul that has sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom. They would declare their repentance when they see the Penalty. But the judgement between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.

55. Is it not that to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth? Is it not that Allah's promise is assuredly true? Yet most of them understand not.

56. It is God Who gives life, and Who takes it, and to God shall you all be brought back.

57. O humankind! There has come to you a direction from your Lord, and a healing for that in your hearts, and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy.

58. Say, "In the Bounty of Allah, and in God's Mercy: in that let them rejoice." That is better than what they hoard.

59. Say, "See you what things Allah has sent down to you for sustenance? Yet you hold some things forbidden, others lawful." Say, "Has Allah indeed permitted you, or do you invent to attribute to Allah?"

60. And what think those who invent lies against Allah of the Day of Judgement? Verily Allah os full of bounty to humankind, but most of them are ungrateful.

61. In whatever business you may be, and whatever portion you may be reciting from the Qur'an, and whatever deed you may be doing, We are Witness thereof when you are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from your Lord the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heavens, and not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear Record.

62. Behold! Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.

63. Those who believe and guard against evil,

64. For them are glad tidings in the life of the present and in the hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme Felicity.

65. Let not their speech grieve you, for all power and honor belong to Allah. It is God who Hears and Knows.

66. Behold! Verily to Allah belong all creatures in the heavens and on earth. What, do they follow who worship as God's "partners" other than Allah? They follow nothing but fancy, and they do nothing but lie.

67. God it is that has made for you the night that you may rest therein, and the day to make things visible. Verily in this are Signs for those who listen.

68. They say, "Allah has begotten a son!" Glory be to God! God is Self-Sufficient! To God are all things in the heavens and on earth. No warrant have you for this! Say you about Allah what you know not?

69. Say, "Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper."

70. A little enjoyment in this world! And then, to Us will be their return. Then shall We make them taste the severest Penalty for their blasphemies.

----------------------------------------------------------

I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah Wills. To every people is a term appointed. When that term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor can they advance.

Do you see, if God's punishment should come to you by night or by day, what portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten?

Aye! By my Lord, it is the very truth! And you cannot frustrate it!

In the Bounty of Allah, and in God's Mercy: in that let them rejoice.

See you what things Allah has sent down to you for sustenance? Yet you hold some things forbidden, others lawful.

Has Allah indeed permitted you, or do you invent to attribute to Allah?

Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper.
