| 29. `Those who believe and do good works - happiness is decreed for them, and an excellent place of return. 30. Thus have WE sent thee to a people, before whom other peoples have passed away, that thou mayest recite to them what WE have revealed to thee, for they deny the Gracious God. Say, `HE is my Lord; There is no god but HE. In HIM do I put my trust and towards HIM is my return. 31. And if there was a Qur'an by which mountains could be moved or by which the earth could be cut asunder or by which the dead could be spoken to, they would still not believe in it. Nay, the matter of their believing rests entirely with ALLAH. Have not the believers yet come to know that if ALLAH had enforced HIS will HE could have surely guided all mankind ? And as for those who disbelieve, disaster shall not cease to befall them for what they have wrought or to alight near their home, until the promise of ALLAH comes to pass. Surely, ALLAH fails not in HIS promise. 32. And surely, Messengers were mocked at before thee; but I granted respite to those who disbelieved. Then I seized them and how terrible was My punishment ! 33. Will then HE, Who stands over every soul watching what it earns, let them go unpunished ? Yet they ascribe partners to ALLAH. Say, `Do name them.' Would you inform HIM of what HE does not know in the earth ? Or, is it a mere empty saying ? Nay, but the design of the disbelievers has been made to appear beautiful in their eyes, and they have been kept back from the right way. And he whom ALLAH lets go astray shall have no guide. 34. For them is a punishment in the present life; and surely, the punishment in the Hereafter is harder, and they will have no defender against ALLAH. |
