Qur'an 20091104

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

43. Or have they gods that can guard them from Us? They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us.

44. No, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them. See they not that We reduce the land from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?

45. Say, "I do warn you according to revelation." But the deaf will not hear the call, when they are warned.

46. If but a breath of the Wrath of your Lord does touch them, then they will say, "Woe to us! We did wrong indeed!"

The Prophets 21:43-46

39. If only the unbelievers knew when they would not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and no help can reach them!

40. No, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them. No power will they have to avert it, nor will they get respite.

41. Mocked were messengers before you, but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

42. Say, "Who can keep you safe by night and by day from the Most Gracious?" Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord.

The Prophets 21:39-42
----------------------------------------------------------

Who can keep you safe by night and by day from the Most Gracious?

23. God cannot be questioned for God's acts, but they will be questioned.

24. Or have they taken for worship gods besides God? Say, "Bring your convincing proof. This is a Message of those with me and the Message of those before me." But most of them know not the truth, and so turn away.

The Prophets 21:23-24

Qur'an 20091030

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

1. Closer and closer to humans comes their reckoning, yet they heed not, and turn away.

2. Never comes to them of a renewed Message from their Lord, but they listen to it as a joke.

3. Their hearts toying as with trifles. The wrongdoers conceal their private counsels: "Is this more than a man like yourselves? Will you go to witchcraft with your eyes open?"

4. Say, "My Lord knows every word in the heavens and the earth. God is the One that Hears and Knows."

The Prophets 21:1-4
----------------------------------------------------------

My Lord knows every word in the heavens and the earth. God is the One that Hears and Knows.

134. And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said, "Our Lord! If only You had sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Signs before we were humbled, and put to shame."

135. Say, "Each one is waiting. Wait you therefore, and soon shall you know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received guidance."

Ta Ha 20:133-135
