9- At-Tawba
95  They  will  swear  to you by Allah, when ye return to them, that ye may leave them
alone.    So    leave    them    alone:  For  they  are  an  abomination,  and  Hell  is  their
dwelling-place,-a fitting recompense for the (evil) that they did.
96  They  will  swear  unto  you, that ye may be pleased with them but if ye are pleased
with them, Allah is not pleased with those who disobey.
97  The  Arabs  of the desert are the worst in Unbelief and hypocrisy, and most fitted to
be  in  ignorance  of  the  command which Allah hath sent down to His Messenger: But
Allah is All-knowing, All-Wise.
98  Some  of  the  desert  Arabs  look  upon  their  payments  as  a  fine,  and watch for
disasters  for  you:  on  them  be  the  disaster  of  evil:  for Allah is He That heareth and
knoweth (all things).
99  But  some  of  the desert Arabs believe in Allah and the Last Day, and look on their
payments  as  pious gifts bringing them nearer to Allah and obtaining the prayers of the
Messenger.  Aye,  indeed  they bring them nearer (to Him): soon will Allah admit them
to His Mercy: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
100  The  vanguard  (of  Islam)-  the  first  of  those  who  forsook (their homes) and of
those  who  gave  them  aid,  and  (also)  those  who  follow  them in (all) good deeds,-
well-pleased  is  Allah  with  them,  as  are  they  with  Him:  for them hath He prepared
gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is the supreme felicity.
101  Certain  of  the  desert  Arabs  round  about  you  are  hypocrites, as well as (desert
Arabs)  among  the  Medina  folk:  they  are obstinate in hypocrisy: thou knowest them
not:  We  know them: twice shall We punish them: and in addition shall they be sent to
a grievous penalty.
102  Others  (there  are who) have acknowledged their wrong-doings: they have mixed
an  act  that  was good with another that was evil. Perhaps Allah will turn unto them (in
Mercy): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
103  Of  their  goods,  take  alms,  that  so  thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and
pray  on  their  behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is
One Who heareth and knoweth.
104  Know  they  not  that  Allah doth accept repentance from His votaries and receives
their gifts of charity, and that Allah is verily He, the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful?
105  And  say:  "Work  (righteousness):  Soon  will  Allah observe your work, and His
Messenger,  and  the  Believers: Soon will ye be brought back to the knower of what is
hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did."
106  There  are  (yet)  others,  held  in  suspense for the command of Allah, whether He
will punish them, or turn in mercy to them: and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
107  And  there  are  those  who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity - to
disunite  the  Believers  -  and  in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His
Messenger  aforetime.  They  will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good;
But Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars.
108  Never  stand  thou  forth  therein.  There  is  a  mosque whose foundation was laid
from  the  first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein.
In  it  are  men  who  love  to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves
pure.
109  Which  then  is  best?  -  he  that  layeth  his  foundation on piety to Allah and His
good  pleasure?  - or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to
crumble  to  pieces?  and  it  doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And
Allah guideth not people that do wrong.
110  The  foundation  of those who so build is never free from suspicion and shakiness
in their hearts, until their hearts are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
111  Allah  hath  purchased  of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in
return)  is  the  garden  (of  Paradise):  they  fight  in His cause, and slay and are slain: a
promise  binding  on  Him  in  truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and
who  is  more  faithful  to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye
have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
112  Those  that  turn  (to  Allah)  in  repentance;  that  serve Him, and praise Him; that
wander  in  devotion  to the cause of Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in
prayer;  that  enjoin  good  and  forbid  evil; and observe the limit set by Allah;- (These
do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers.
113  It  is  not  fitting,  for the Prophet and those who believe, that they should pray for
forgiveness  for  Pagans,  even  though  they  be of kin, after it is clear to them that they
are companions of the Fire.
114  And  Abraham  prayed  for  his  father's  forgiveness only because of a promise he
had  made  to  him.  But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he
dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing.
115  And  Allah  will  not mislead a people after He hath guided them, in order that He
may  make  clear  to  them  what  to  fear  (and  avoid)- for Allah hath knowledge of all
things.
116  Unto  Allah  belongeth  the  dominion of the heavens and the earth. He giveth life
and He taketh it. Except for Him ye have no protector nor helper.
117  Allah  turned  with  favour  to  the  Prophet,  the  Muhajirs,  and  the  Ansar,- who
followed  him  in  a  time  of  distress,  after  that  the hearts of a part of them had nearly
swerved  (from  duty);  but  He  turned  to  them (also): for He is unto them Most Kind,
Most Merciful.
118  (He  turned  in  mercy  also) to the three who were left behind; (they felt guilty) to
such  a  degree  that  the  earth  seemed constrained to them, for all its spaciousness, and
their  (very)  souls  seemed  straitened  to  them,-  and  they  perceived  that  there  is no
fleeing  from  Allah  (and  no refuge) but to Himself. Then He turned to them, that they
might repent: for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
119 O ye who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are true (in word and deed).
120   It  was  not  fitting  for  the  people  of  Medina  and  the  Bedouin  Arabs  of  the
neighbourhood,  to  refuse  to follow Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to
his:  because  nothing  could  they  suffer  or  do,  but  was  reckoned to their credit as a
deed  of  righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause
of  Allah,  or  trod  paths  to  raise  the  ire  of  the  Unbelievers,  or  received any injury
whatever  from  an  enemy:  for  Allah  suffereth  not the reward to be lost of those who
do good;-
121  Nor  could  they  spend  anything  (for  the cause) - small or great- nor cut across a
valley,  but  the  deed  is inscribed to their credit: that Allah may requite their deed with
the best (possible reward).
122    Nor  should  the  Believers  all  go  forth  together:  if  a  contingent  from  every
expedition  remained  behind,  they  could devote themselves to studies in religion, and
admonish  the  people  when  they  return  to them,- that thus they (may learn) to guard
themselves (against evil).
123  O  ye  who  believe!  fight  the  unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find
firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
124  Whenever  there  cometh  down a sura, some of them say: "Which of you has had
His  faith  increased by it?" Yea, those who believe,- their faith is increased and they do
rejoice.
125  But  those  in  whose hearts is a disease,- it will add doubt to their doubt, and they
will die in a state of Unbelief.
126  See  they  not  that  they  are  tried  every  year once or twice? Yet they turn not in
repentance, and they take no heed.
127  Whenever  there  cometh  down  a  Sura,  they look at each other, (saying), "Doth
anyone  see  you?" Then they turn aside: Allah hath turned their hearts (from the light);
for they are a people that understand not.
128  Now  hath  come  unto  you a Messenger from amongst yourselves: it grieves him
that  ye  should  perish:  ardently  anxious  is  he  over  you:  to the Believers is he most
kind and merciful.
129  But  if  they  turn away, Say: "Allah sufficeth me: there is no god but He: On Him
is my trust,- He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!"

10- Yunus
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 A.L.R. These are the ayats of the Book of Wisdom.
2  Is  it  a  matter  of  wonderment  to  men  that  We have sent Our inspiration to a man
from  among  themselves?- that he should warn mankind (of their danger), and give the
good  news  to  the  Believers  that  they  have  before their Lord the lofty rank of truth.
(But) say the Unbelievers: "This is indeed an evident sorcerer!"
3  Verily  your  Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is
firmly  established  on  the  throne  (of  authority),  regulating and governing all things.
No  intercessor  (can  plead  with Him) except after His leave (hath been obtained). This
is Allah your Lord; Him therefore serve ye: will ye not receive admonition?
4  To  Him  will  be  your return- of all of you. The promise of Allah is true and sure. It
is  He  Who  beginneth  the  process  of  creation,  and  repeateth it, that He may reward
with  justice  those  who believe and work righteousness; but those who reject Him will
have draughts of boiling fluids, and a penalty grievous, because they did reject Him.
5  It  is  He  Who  made  the  sun  to  be  a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of
beauty),  and  measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and
the  count  (of  time).  Nowise  did  Allah  create  this  but  in  truth  and  righteousness.
(Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand.
6  Verily,  in  the alternation of the night and the day, and in all that Allah hath created,
in the heavens and the earth, are signs for those who fear Him.
7  Those  who  rest  not  their  hope  on  their  meeting  with  Us,  but  are  pleased  and
satisfied with the life of the present, and those who heed not Our Signs,-
8 Their abode is the Fire, because of the (evil) they earned.
9  Those  who  believe, and work righteousness,- their Lord will guide them because of
their faith: beneath them will flow rivers in gardens of bliss.
10  (This  will  be)  their  cry  therein:  "Glory  to  Thee, O Allah!" And "Peace" will be
their  greeting  therein!  and  the  close  of  their  cry  will  be:  "Praise  be  to  Allah, the
Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!"
11  If  Allah were to hasten for men the ill (they have earned) as they would fain hasten
on  the  good,-  then would their respite be settled at once. But We leave those who rest
not  their  hope on their meeting with Us, in their trespasses, wandering in distraction to
and fro.
12  When  trouble  toucheth  a  man, He crieth unto Us (in all postures)- lying down on
his  side,  or  sitting,  or  standing. But when We have solved his trouble, he passeth on
his  way  as  if  he  had  never  cried  to  Us  for  a trouble that touched him! thus do the
deeds of transgressors seem fair in their eyes!
13  Generations  before  you  We  destroyed  when  they  did  wrong:  their messengers
came  to  them  with  clear-signs,  but they would not believe! thus do We requite those
who sin!
14 Then We made you heirs in the land after them, to see how ye would behave!
15  But  when  Our  Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope
on  their  meeting  with  Us,  Say:  "Bring  us a reading other than this, or change this,"
Say:  "It  is  not  for  me,  of  my  own accord, to change it: I follow naught but what is
revealed  unto  me:  if  I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the penalty of a
Great Day (to come)."
16  Say:  "If  Allah  had  so willed, I should not have rehearsed it to you, nor would He
have  made  it  known to you. A whole life-time before this have I tarried amongst you:
will ye not then understand?"
17  Who  doth  more  wrong  than such as forge a lie against Allah, or deny His Signs?
But never will prosper those who sin.
18  They  serve,  besides Allah, things that hurt them not nor profit them, and they say:
"These    are    our   intercessors  with  Allah."  Say:  "Do  ye  indeed  inform  Allah  of
something  He  knows  not,  in  the  heavens  or on earth?- Glory to Him! and far is He
above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!"
19  Mankind  was  but  one  nation,  but differed (later). Had it not been for a word that
went  forth  before  from  thy  Lord,  their  differences would have been settled between
them.
20  They  say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The Unseen
is only for Allah (to know), then wait ye: I too will wait with you."
21  When  We  make  mankind  taste of some mercy after adversity hath touched them,
behold!  they  take  to  plotting  against  Our  Signs!  Say:  "Swifter  to  plan  is Allah!"
Verily, Our messengers record all the plots that ye make!
22  He  it  is  Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board
ships;-  they  sail  with  them  with  a  favourable  wind,  and  they  rejoice thereat; then
comes  a  stormy  wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they
are  being  overwhelmed:  they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him
saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"
23  But  when  he  delivereth them, behold! they transgress insolently through the earth
in   defiance  of  right!  O  mankind!  your  insolence  is  against  your  own  souls,-  an
enjoyment  of  the  life  of  the  present:  in  the  end, to Us is your return, and We shall
show you the truth of all that ye did.
24  The  likeness  of  the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the
skies:  by  its  mingling  arises  the  produce  of the earth- which provides food for men
and  animals:  (It  grows)  till  the  earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked
out  (in  beauty):  the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal
over  it:  There  reaches  it  Our  command  by  night  or  by day, and We make it like a
harvest  clean-mown,  as  if  it  had  not  flourished  only  the  day  before!  thus do We
explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect.
25  But  Allah  doth  call  to  the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a
way that is straight.
26  To  those  who  do  right  is  a  goodly  (reward)-  Yea, more (than in measure)! No
darkness  nor  shame  shall  cover  their  faces! they are companions of the garden; they
will abide therein (for aye)!
27  But  those  who  have  earned  evil  will  have  a  reward of like evil: ignominy will
cover  their  (faces):  No  defender  will they have from (the wrath of) Allah: Their faces
will  be  covered,  as  it  were,  with pieces from the depth of the darkness of night: they
are companions of the Fire: they will abide therein (for aye)!
28  One  day  shall We gather them all together. Then shall We say to those who joined
gods  (with  Us):  "To  your place! ye and those ye joined as 'partners' We shall separate
them, and their "Partners" shall say: "It was not us that ye worshipped!
29  "Enough  is  Allah for a witness between us and you: we certainly knew nothing of
your worship of us!"
30  There  will  every  soul  prove  (the  fruits  of)  the  deeds it sent before: they will be
brought  back  to  Allah  their  rightful  Lord,  and  their  invented falsehoods will leave
them in the lurch.
31  Say:  "Who  is  it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? or who
is  it  that  has  power  over  hearing  and sight? And who is it that brings out the living
from  the  dead  and  the  dead from the living? and who is it that rules and regulates all
affairs?" They will soon say, "Allah". Say, "will ye not then show piety (to Him)?"
32  Such  is  Allah,  your  real Cherisher and Sustainer: apart from truth, what (remains)
but error? How then are ye turned away?
33  Thus  is  the word of thy Lord proved true against those who rebel: Verily they will
not believe.
34  Say:  "Of  your 'partners', can any originate creation and repeat it?" Say: "It is Allah
Who originates creation and repeats it: then how are ye deluded away (from the truth)?"
35  Say:  "Of  your  'partners'  is  there  any  that can give any guidance towards truth?"
Say:  "It  is Allah Who gives guidance towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to
truth  more  worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself) unless he is
guided? what then is the matter with you? How judge ye?"
36  But  most  of  them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against
truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.
37  This  Qur'an  is  not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary it
is  a  confirmation  of  (revelations)  that  went  before  it, and a fuller explanation of the
Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds.
38  Or  do  they  say,  "He  forged  it"?  say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to
your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth!"
39  Nay,  they  charge  with  falsehood  that  whose  knowledge  they  cannot compass,
even  before  the  elucidation  thereof  hath  reached  them:  thus  did those before them
make charges of falsehood: but see what was the end of those who did wrong!
40  Of  them  there  are  some who believe therein, and some who do not: and thy Lord
knoweth best those who are out for mischief.
41  If  they  charge thee with falsehood, say: "My work to me, and yours to you! ye are
free from responsibility for what I do, and I for what ye do!"
42  Among  them  are  some  who  (pretend  to)  listen to thee: But canst thou make the
deaf to hear,- even though they are without understanding?
43  And  among them are some who look at thee: but canst thou guide the blind,- even
though they will not see?
44  Verily  Allah  will  not  deal  unjustly  with  man in aught: It is man that wrongs his
own soul.
45  One  day He will gather them together: (It will be) as if they had tarried but an hour
of  a  day:  they  will  recognise  each other: assuredly those will be lost who denied the
meeting with Allah and refused to receive true guidance.
46  Whether  We  show  thee  (realised  in  thy life-time) some part of what We promise
them,-  or  We  take  thy  soul  (to  Our Mercy) (Before that),- in any case, to Us is their
return: ultimately Allah is witness, to all that they do.
47  To  every  people  (was  sent)  a  messenger:  when  their  messenger  comes (before
them),  the  matter  will  be  judged  between  them  with  justice,  and  they  will not be
wronged.
48 They say: "When will this promise come to pass,- if ye speak the truth?"
49  Say:  "I  have  no  power  over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah willeth.
To  every  people  is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they
cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation)."
50  Say:  "Do  ye  see,-  if  His  punishment  should  come  to you by night or by day,-
what portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten?
51  "Would  ye  then  believe  in  it at last, when it actually cometh to pass? (It will then
be said): 'Ah! now? and ye wanted (aforetime) to hasten it on!'
52  "At  length  will  be said to the wrong-doers: 'Taste ye the enduring punishment! ye
get but the recompense of what ye earned!'"
53  They  seek  to  be informed by thee: "Is that true?" Say: "Aye! by my Lord! it is the
very truth! and ye cannot frustrate it!"
54  Every  soul  that hath 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
judgment between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.
55  Is  it  not (the case) that to Allah belongeth whatever is in the heavens and on earth?
Is  it  not  (the case) that Allah's promise is assuredly true? Yet most of them understand
not.
56 It is He Who giveth life and who taketh it, and to Him shall ye all be brought back.
57  O  mankind!  there  hath  come to you a direction from your Lord and a healing for
the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy.
58  Say:  "In  the  bounty  of Allah. And in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice": that is
better than the (wealth) they hoard.
59  Say:  "See ye what things Allah hath sent down to you for sustenance? Yet ye hold
forbidden  some  things  thereof  and  (some  things)  lawful."  Say: "Hath Allah indeed
permitted you, or do ye invent (things) to attribute to Allah?"
60  And  what  think  those  who  invent  lies  against  Allah,  of the Day of Judgment?
Verily Allah is full of bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful.
61    In  whatever  business  thou  mayest  be,  and  whatever  portion  thou  mayest  be
reciting  from  the  Qur'an,-  and  whatever  deed  ye  (mankind) may be doing,- We are
witnesses  thereof  when  ye  are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord
(so  much  as)  the  weight  of  an atom on the earth or in heaven. 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 (constantly) 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 thee: for all power and honour belong to Allah: It is He
Who heareth and knoweth (all things).
66  Behold!  verily  to  Allah belong all creatures, in the heavens and on earth. What do
they  follow  who worship as His "partners" other than Allah? They follow nothing but
fancy, and they do nothing but lie.
67  He  it is That hath made you the night that ye may rest therein, and the day to make
things visible (to you). Verily in this are signs for those who listen (to His Message).
68  They  say:  "Allah  hath  begotten  a  son!"  - Glory be to Him! He is self-sufficient!
His  are  all  things  in  the  heavens  and  on  earth! No warrant have ye for this! say ye
about Allah what ye 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.
71  Relate  to  them  the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if
it  be  hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of
Allah,-  yet  I  put  my  trust  in  Allah.  Get  ye then an agreement about your plan and
among  your  partners,  so  your  plan  be  on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your
sentence on me, and give me no respite.
72  "But  if  ye turn back, (consider): no reward have I asked of you: my reward is only
due  from  Allah,  and  I  have  been  commanded  to be of those who submit to Allah's
will (in Islam)."
73  They  rejected Him, but We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark, and We
made  them  inherit  (the earth), while We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected
Our Signs. Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not)!
74  Then  after  him  We  sent  (many)  messengers  to their peoples: they brought them
Clear  Signs,  but  they  would  not  believe what they had already rejected beforehand.
Thus do We seal the hearts of the transgressors.
75  Then  after  them  sent  We  Moses  and  Aaron  to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our
Signs. But they were arrogant: they were a people in sin.
76  When  the  Truth  did  come  to  them  from  Us,  they said: "This is indeed evident
sorcery!"
77  Said  Moses:  "Say  ye  (this) about the truth when it hath (actually) reached you? Is
sorcery (like) this? But sorcerers will not prosper."
78  They  said:  "Hast  thou  come  to  us  to turn us away from the ways we found our
fathers  following,-  in  order  that thou and thy brother may have greatness in the land?
But not we shall believe in you!"
79 Said Pharaoh: "Bring me every sorcerer well versed."
80 When the sorcerers came, Moses said to them: "Throw ye what ye (wish) to throw!"
81  When  they  had  had  their  throw,  Moses  said: "What ye have brought is sorcery:
Allah  will  surely  make it of no effect: for Allah prospereth not the work of those who
make mischief.
82  "And  Allah  by  His  words  doth prove and establish His truth, however much the
sinners may hate it!"
83  But  none  believed  in  Moses  except  some  children of his people, because of the
fear  of  Pharaoh  and  his chiefs, lest they should persecute them; and certainly Pharaoh
was mighty on the earth and one who transgressed all bounds.
84  Moses  said: "O my people! If ye do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your
trust if ye submit (your will to His)."
85  They  said:  "In  Allah  do  we put out trust. Our Lord! make us not a trial for those
who practise oppression;
86 "And deliver us by Thy Mercy from those who reject (Thee)."
87  We  inspired Moses and his brother with this Message: "Provide dwellings for your
people  in  Egypt,  make  your  dwellings  into  places of worship, and establish regular
prayers: and give glad tidings to those who believe!"
88  Moses  prayed:  "Our  Lord!  Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs
splendour  and  wealth  in  the life of the present, and so, Our Lord, they mislead (men)
from  Thy  Path.  Deface  our  Lord,  the  features  of their wealth, and send hardness to
their hearts, so they will not believe until they see the grievous penalty."
89  Allah  said:  "Accepted  is  your  prayer (O Moses and Aaron)! So stand ye straight,
and follow not the path of those who know not."
90  We  took the Children of Israel across the sea: Pharaoh and his hosts followed them
in  insolence  and  spite.  At  length,  when  overwhelmed  with  the  flood,  he  said: "I
believe  that  there  is  no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am
of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)."
91  (It  was  said  to  him):  "Ah now!- But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!-
and thou didst mischief (and violence)!
92  "This  day  shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who
come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!"
93  We  settled  the  Children  of  Israel  in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for
them  sustenance  of  the  best:  it  was  after  knowledge had been granted to them, that
they    fell  into  schisms.  Verily  Allah  will  judge  between  them  as  to  the  schisms
amongst them, on the Day of Judgment.
94  If  thou  wert  in  doubt  as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who
have  been  reading  the  Book  from  before  thee:  the  Truth hath indeed come to thee
from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.
95 Nor be of those who reject the signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of those who perish.
96 Those against whom the word of thy Lord hath been verified would not believe-
97  Even  if  every  Sign  was  brought  unto  them,-  until they see (for themselves) the
penalty grievous.
98  Why  was  there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,-
so  its  faith  should  have profited it,- except the people of Jonah? When they believed,
We  removed  from  them  the  penalty  of  ignominy  in  the  life  of  the  present,  and
permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
99  If  it  had  been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth!
wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe!
100  No  soul  can  believe,  except  by  the  will  of  Allah, and He will place doubt (or
obscurity) on those who will not understand.
101  Say:  "Behold  all  that  is  in  the  heavens  and  on  earth";  but  neither Signs nor
Warners profit those who believe not.
102  Do  they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who
passed away before them? Say: "Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you."
103  In  the end We deliver Our messengers and those who believe: Thus is it fitting on
Our part that We should deliver those who believe!
104  Say:  "O  ye  men!  If  ye  are  in  doubt as to my religion, (behold!) I worship not
what  ye  worship, other than Allah! But I worship Allah - Who will take your souls (at
death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers,
105  "And  further  (thus):  'set  thy  face  towards  religion with true piety, and never in
any wise be of the Unbelievers;
106  "'Nor  call  on any, other than Allah;- Such will neither profit thee nor hurt thee: if
thou dost, behold! thou shalt certainly be of those who do wrong.'"
107  If  Allah  do  touch  thee  with  hurt,  there  is none can remove it but He: if He do
design  some  benefit  for  thee, there is none can keep back His favour: He causeth it to
reach  whomsoever  of  His  servants  He  pleaseth.  And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
108  Say:  "O  ye  men!  Now  Truth  hath  reached  you  from  your  Lord! those who
receive  guidance,  do  so  for  the  good  of  their  own souls; those who stray, do so to
their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs."
109  Follow  thou  the  inspiration sent unto thee, and be patient and constant, till Allah
do decide: for He is the best to decide.

11- Hud
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1    A.   L.  R.  (This  is)  a  Book,  with  verses  basic  or  fundamental  (of  established
meaning),  further  explained  in  detail,-  from  One  Who is Wise and Well-acquainted
(with all things):
2  (It  teacheth)  that  ye should worship none but Allah. (Say): "Verily I am (sent) unto
you from Him to warn and to bring glad tidings:
3  "(And  to  preach  thus),  'Seek  ye  the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in
repentance;  that  He  may  grant you enjoyment, good (and true), for a term appointed,
and  bestow  His  abounding  grace  on  all  who  abound in merit! But if ye turn away,
then I fear for you the penalty of a great day:
4 'To Allah is your return, and He hath power over all things.'"
5  Behold!  they  fold  up  their  hearts,  that they may lie hid from Him! Ah even when
they  cover  themselves  with  their garments, He knoweth what they conceal, and what
they reveal: for He knoweth well the (inmost secrets) of the hearts.
