Sahih International
Assuredly, Allah knows  what  they  conceal  and  what  they  declare.  Indeed,  He  does  not like  the  arrogant.
Sahih International
And  when  it  is  said  to  them,  "What  has  your  Lord  sent  down?"  They  say,  "Legends  of the  former  peoples,"
Sahih International
That  they  may  bear  their  own  burdens  in  full  on  the  Day  of  Resurrection  and  some  of the  burdens  of  those  whom  they  misguide  without  knowledge.  Unquestionably,  evil  is that  which  they  bear.
Sahih International
Those  before  them  had  already  plotted,  but Allah came  at  their  building  from  the foundations,  so  the  roof  fell  upon  them  from  above  them,  and  the  punishment  came  to them  from  where  they  did  not  perceive.
Sahih International
Then  on  the  Day  of  Resurrection  He  will  disgrace  them  and  say,  "Where  are  My 'partners'  for  whom  you  used  to  oppose  [the  believers]?"    Those  who  were  given knowledge  will  say,  "Indeed  disgrace,  this  Day,  and  evil  are  upon  the  disbelievers"  -
Sahih International
The  ones  whom  the  angels  take  in  death  [while]  wronging  themselves,  and  [who]  then offer  submission,  [saying],  "We  were  not  doing  any  evil."  But,  yes!  Indeed, Allah is Knowing  of  what  you  used  to  do.
Sahih International
So  enter  the  gates  of  Hell  to  abide  eternally  therein,  and  how  wretched  is  the  residence of  the  arrogant.
Sahih International
And  it  will  be  said  to  those  who  feared Allah ,  "What  did  your  Lord  send  down?"  They will  say,  "[That  which  is]  good."  For  those  who  do  good  in  this  world  is  good;  and  the home  of  the  Hereafter  is  better.  And  how  excellent  is  the  home  of  the  righteous  -
Sahih International
Gardens  of  perpetual  residence,  which  they  will  enter,  beneath  which  rivers  flow.  They will  have  therein  whatever  they  wish.  Thus  does Allah reward  the  righteous  -
Sahih International
The  ones  whom  the  angels  take  in  death,  [being]  good  and  pure;  [the  angels]  will  say, "Peace  be  upon  you.  Enter  Paradise  for  what  you  used  to  do."
Sahih International
Do  the  disbelievers  await  [anything]  except  that  the  angels  should  come  to  them  or there  comes  the  command  of  your  Lord?  Thus  did  those  do  before  them.  And Allah wronged  them  not,  but  they  had  been  wronging  themselves.
Sahih International
So  they  were  struck  by  the  evil  consequences  of  what  they  did  and  were  enveloped  by what  they  used  to  ridicule.
Sahih International
And  those  who  associate  others  with Allah say,  "If Allah had  willed,  we  would  not  have worshipped  anything  other  than  Him,  neither  we  nor  our  fathers,  nor  would  we  have forbidden  anything  through  other  than  Him."  Thus  did  those  do  before  them.  So  is there  upon  the  messengers  except  [the  duty  of]  clear  notification?
Sahih International
And  We  certainly  sent  into  every  nation  a  messenger,  [saying],  "Worship Allah and avoid  Taghut."  And  among  them  were  those  whom Allah guided,  and  among  them  were those  upon  whom  error  was  [deservedly]  decreed.  So  proceed  through  the  earth  and observe  how  was  the  end  of  the  deniers.
Sahih International
[Even]  if  you  should  strive  for  their  guidance,  [O  Muhammad],  indeed, Allah does  not guide  those  He  sends  astray,  and  they  will  have  no  helpers.
Sahih International
And  they  swear  by Allah their  strongest  oaths  [that] Allah will  not  resurrect  one  who dies.  But  yes  -   [it  is]  a  true  promise  [binding]  upon  Him,  but  most  of  the  people  do  not know.
Sahih International
[It  is]  so  He  will  make  clear  to  them  [the  truth  of]  that  wherein  they  differ  and  so  those who  have  disbelieved  may  know  that  they  were  liars.
Sahih International
Indeed,  Our  word  to  a  thing  when  We  intend  it  is  but  that  We  say  to  it,  "Be,"  and  it  is.
Sahih International
And  those  who  emigrated  for  [the  cause  of] Allah after  they  had  been  wronged  -   We  will surely  settle  them  in  this  world  in  a  good  place;  but  the  reward  of  the  Hereafter  is greater,  if  only  they  could  know.
Sahih International
And  We  sent  not  before  you  except  men  to  whom  We  revealed  [Our  message].  So  ask the  people  of  the  message  if  you  do  not  know.
Sahih International
[We  sent  them]  with  clear  proofs  and  written  ordinances.  And  We  revealed  to  you  the message  that  you  may  make  clear  to  the  people  what  was  sent  down  to  them  and  that they  might  give  thought.
Sahih International
Then,  do  those  who  have  planned  evil  deeds  feel  secure  that Allah will  not  cause  the earth  to  swallow  them  or  that  the  punishment  will  not  come  upon  them  from  where they  do  not  perceive?
Sahih International
Or  that  He  would  not  seize  them  during  their  [usual]  activity,  and  they  could  not  cause failure?
Sahih International
Or  that  He  would  not  seize  them  gradually  [in  a  state  of  dread]?  But  indeed,  your  Lord is  Kind  and  Merciful.
Sahih International
Have  they  not  considered  what  things Allah has  created?    Their  shadows  incline  to  the right  and  to  the  left,  prostrating  to Allah ,  while  they  are  humble.
Sahih International
And  to Allah prostrates  whatever  is  in  the  heavens  and  whatever  is  on  the  earth  of creatures,  and  the  angels  [as  well],  and  they  are  not  arrogant.
Sahih International
They  fear  their  Lord  above  them,  and  they  do  what  they  are  commanded.
Sahih International
And Allah has  said,  "Do  not  take  for  yourselves  two  deities.  He  is  but  one  God,  so  fear only  Me."
Sahih International
And  to  Him  belongs  whatever  is  in  the  heavens  and  the  earth,  and  to  Him  is  [due] worship  constantly.  Then  is  it  other  than Allah that  you  fear?
Sahih International
And  whatever  you  have  of  favor  -   it  is  from Allah .  Then  when  adversity  touches  you,  to Him  you  cry  for  help.
Sahih International
Then  when  He  removes  the  adversity  from  you,  at  once  a  party  of  you  associates others  with  their  Lord
Sahih International
So  they  will  deny  what  We  have  given  them.  Then  enjoy  yourselves,  for  you  are  going to  know.
Sahih International
And  they  assign  to  what  they  do  not  know  a  portion  of  that  which  We  have  provided them.  By Allah ,  you  will  surely  be  questioned  about  what  you  used  to  invent.
Sahih International
And  they  attribute  to Allah daughters  -   exalted  is  He  -   and  for  them  is  what  they desire.
Sahih International
And  when  one  of  them  is  informed  of  [the  birth  of]  a  female,  his  face  becomes  dark, and  he  suppresses  grief.
Sahih International
He  hides  himself  from  the  people  because  of  the  ill  of  which  he  has  been  informed. Should  he  keep  it  in  humiliation  or  bury  it  in  the  ground?  Unquestionably,  evil  is  what they  decide.
Sahih International
For  those  who  do  not  believe  in  the  Hereafter  is  the  description  of  evil;  and  for Allah is the  highest  attribute.  And  He  is  Exalted  in  Might,  the  Wise.
Sahih International
And  if Allah were  to  impose  blame  on  the  people  for  their  wrongdoing,  He  would  not have  left  upon  the  earth  any  creature,  but  He  defers  them  for  a  specified  term.  And when  their  term  has  come,  they  will  not  remain  behind  an  hour,  nor  will  they  precede [it].
Sahih International
And  they  attribute  to Allah that  which  they  dislike,  and  their  tongues  assert  the  lie that  they  will  have  the  best  [from  Him].    Assuredly,  they  will  have  the  Fire,  and  they will  be  [therein]  neglected.
Sahih International
By Allah ,  We  did  certainly  send  [messengers]  to  nations  before  you,  but  Satan  made their  deeds  attractive  to  them.  And  he  is  the  disbelievers'  ally  today  [as  well],  and  they will  have  a  painful  punishment.
Sahih International
And  We  have  not  revealed  to  you  the  Book,  [O  Muhammad],  except  for  you  to  make clear  to  them  that  wherein  they  have  differed  and  as  guidance  and  mercy  for  a  people who  believe.
Sahih International
And Allah has  sent  down  rain  from  the  sky  and  given  life  thereby  to  the  earth  after  its lifelessness.  Indeed  in  that  is  a  sign  for  a  people  who  listen.
Sahih International
And  indeed,  for  you  in  grazing  livestock  is  a  lesson.  We  give  you  drink  from  what  is  in their  bellies  -   between  excretion  and  blood  -   pure  milk,  palatable  to  drinkers.
Sahih International
And  from  the  fruits  of  the  palm  trees  and  grapevines  you  take  intoxicant  and  good provision.  Indeed  in  that  is  a  sign  for  a  people  who  reason.
Sahih International
And  your  Lord  inspired  to  the  bee,  "Take  for  yourself  among  the  mountains,  houses, and  among  the  trees  and  [in]  that  which  they  construct.
Sahih International
Then  eat  from  all  the  fruits  and  follow  the  ways  of  your  Lord  laid  down  [for  you]." There  emerges  from  their  bellies  a  drink,  varying  in  colors,  in  which  there  is  healing for  people.  Indeed  in  that  is  a  sign  for  a  people  who  give  thought.
Sahih International
And Allah created  you;  then  He  will  take  you  in  death.  And  among  you  is  he  who  is reversed  to  the  most  decrepit  [old]  age  so  that  he  will  not  know,  after  [having  had] knowledge,  a  thing.  Indeed, Allah is  Knowing  and  Competent.
Sahih International
And Allah has  favored  some  of  you  over  others  in  provision.  But  those  who  were favored  would  not  hand  over  their  provision  to  those  whom  their  right  hands  possess so  they  would  be  equal  to  them  therein.  Then  is  it  the  favor  of Allah they  reject?
Sahih International
And Allah has  made  for  you  from  yourselves  mates  and  has  made  for  you  from  your mates  sons  and  grandchildren  and  has  provided  for  you  from  the  good  things.  Then  in falsehood  do  they  believe  and  in  the  favor  of Allah they  disbelieve?
Sahih International
And  they  worship  besides Allah that  which  does  not  possess  for  them  [the  power  of] provision  from  the  heavens  and  the  earth  at  all,  and  [in  fact],  they  are  unable.
Sahih International
So  do  not  assert  similarities  to Allah .  Indeed, Allah knows  and  you  do  not  know.
Sahih International
Allah presents  an  example:  a  slave  [who  is]  owned  and  unable  to  do  a  thing  and  he  to whom  We  have  provided  from  Us  good  provision,  so  he  spends  from  it  secretly  and publicly.  Can  they  be  equal?  Praise  to Allah !  But  most  of  them  do  not  know.
Sahih International
And Allah presents  an  example  of  two  men,  one  of  them  dumb  and  unable  to  do  a thing,  while  he  is  a  burden  to  his  guardian.  Wherever  he  directs  him,  he  brings  no good.    Is  he  equal  to  one  who  commands  justice,  while  he  is  on  a  straight  path?
Sahih International
And  to Allah belongs  the  unseen  [aspects]  of  the  heavens  and  the  earth.  And  the command  for  the  Hour  is  not  but  as  a  glance  of  the  eye  or  even  nearer.  Indeed, Allah is over  all  things  competent.
Sahih International
And Allah has  extracted  you  from  the  wombs  of  your  mothers  not  knowing  a  thing, and  He  made  for  you  hearing  and  vision  and  intellect  that  perhaps  you  would  be grateful.
Sahih International
Do  they  not  see  the  birds  controlled  in  the  atmosphere  of  the  sky?  None  holds  them  up except Allah .  Indeed  in  that  are  signs  for  a  people  who  believe.
Sahih International
And Allah has  made  for  you  from  your  homes  a  place  of  rest  and  made  for  you  from the  hides  of  the  animals  tents  which  you  find  light  on  your  day  of  travel  and  your  day of  encampment;  and  from  their  wool,  fur  and  hair  is  furnishing  and  enjoyment  for  a time.
Sahih International
And Allah has  made  for  you,  from  that  which  He  has  created,  shadows  and  has  made for  you  from  the  mountains,  shelters  and  has  made  for  you  garments  which  protect you  from  the  heat  and  garments  which  protect  you  from  your  [enemy  in]  battle.  Thus does  He  complete  His  favor  upon  you  that  you  might  submit  [to  Him].
Sahih International
But  if  they  turn  away,  [O  Muhammad]  -   then  only  upon  you  is  [responsibility  for]  clear notification.
Sahih International
They  recognize  the  favor  of Allah ;  then  they  deny  it.  And  most  of  them  are  disbelievers.
Sahih International
And  [mention]  the  Day  when  We  will  resurrect  from  every  nation  a  witness.  Then  it  will not  be  permitted  to  the  disbelievers  [to  apologize  or  make  excuses],  nor  will  they  be asked  to  appease  [ Allah ].
Sahih International
And  when  those  who  wronged  see  the  punishment,  it  will  not  be  lightened  for  them, nor  will  they  be  reprieved.
Sahih International
And  when  those  who  associated  others  with Allah see  their  "partners,"  they  will  say," Our  Lord,  these  are  our  partners  [to  You]  whom  we  used  to  invoke  besides  You."  But they  will  throw  at  them  the  statement,  "Indeed,  you  are  liars."
Sahih International
And  they  will  impart  to Allah that  Day  [their]  submission,  and  lost  from  them  is  what they  used  to  invent.
Sahih International
Those  who  disbelieved  and  averted  [others]  from  the  way  of Allah -   We  will  increase them  in  punishment  over  [their]  punishment  for  what  corruption  they  were  causing.
Sahih International
And  [mention]  the  Day  when  We  will  resurrect  among  every  nation  a  witness  over  them from  themselves.  And  We  will  bring  you,  [O  Muhammad],  as  a  witness  over  your nation.  And  We  have  sent  down  to  you  the  Book  as  clarification  for  all  things  and  as guidance  and  mercy  and  good  tidings  for  the  Muslims.
