39:32 Who does more wrong than one who lies against Allah and rejects the truth when it
comes to him as a lie? Is there not a home in Hell for the blasphemers? The dutiful bring the
truth and believe it to be the truth. They will have whatever they desire from their Lord. This
is the reward of the good. Allah will disregard the worst of what they did and reward them
for the best they did.
39:36 Is Allah not sufficient for His servant? They try to scare you with other gods besides
Him, but there is no guide for him whom Allah sends astray. Whomever Allah guides, no
one can lead astray. Is not Allah,
all-mighty, able to enforce His will?
39:38 If you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer,
Allah. Say: Do you think that those you call besides Allah could remove His affliction? If
Allah chose to afflict me, or if He showed me mercy, could they withhold His mercy? Say:
Allah is sufficient for me; the trusting put their trust in Him. Say: Oh, my people, do
whatever you can. I too will do my part, and in the end you will know who will receive the
penalty that will shame him, and who will receive a lasting punishment.
39:41 We have revealed the Book to you for mankind and for the ends of truth. Whoever
receives the guidance, will benefit his own soul, and whoever rejects it, will injure his own
soul, but you are not entrusted as a custodian over them.
39:42 Allah takes men’s souls at the time of their deaths, and those who do not die, He takes
during their sleep. He keeps those on whom he has passed a decree of death but sends the
others back until the appointed time. These are signs for those who reflect.
39:43 Do they take others for intercessors besides Allah? Say: Even though they have no
power over anything, do they understand? Say: Intercession is wholly with Allah. His is the
kingdom of the heavens and of the earth. You will be brought back to Him in the end. When
Allah alone is named, the hearts of those who do not believe in the life to come shrivel up,
but when gods other than Allah are named, they are filled with joy.
39:46 Say: Oh, Allah, creator of heaven and earth, who knows the visible and invisible, You
will judge between your servants in matters of their disputes. Even if the wicked possessed
all that is in the earth and then again as much, they would offer it as ransom for themselves
from the pain of the punishment on Judgment Day, and things they had never reckoned on
will appear to them from Allah. They will clearly see the evil of their own ill deeds, and the
Fire they mocked will encircle them on every side.
10:24 This present life is like the water that We send down from heaven, and the produce of
the earth, of which men and cattle eat, grows abundantly until the earth is draped in its
golden ornaments, and people think they have power over it. We command it by night or by
day, and We lay it to waste, as if it had not flourished just yesterday. This is how We make
Our signs clear for those who reflect.
