| 8. It may be that your Lord will now have mercy on you; but if you return to mischief, WE too will return to punishment, and remember WE have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers. 9. Surely, this Qur'an guides to what is most right; and gives to the believers who do good deeds the glad tidings that they shall have a great reward; 10. And warns that for those who do not believe in the Hereafter WE have prepared a grievous punishment. 11. And man prays for evil as he should pray for good; and man is very hasty. 12. And WE have made the night and the day two Signs, and the Sign of the night WE have made dark, and the Sign of the day WE have made sight-giving, that you make seek bounty from your Lord, and that you may know the computation of years and the process of reckoning. And everything WE have explained with a detailed explanation. 13. And every man's work have WE fasten to his neck; and on the Day of Resurrection WE shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open. 14. It will be said to him, `Read thy book. Sufficient is thy own soul as a reckoner against thee this day.' 15. He who follows the right way follows it only for the good of his own soul; and he who goes astray, goes astray only to his own loss. And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another. And WE shall never punish until WE have sent a Messenger. 16. And when WE intend to destroy a township, WE command its people who live in comfort to adopt the way of righteousness but they transgress therein, so the sentence of punishment becomes due against it, so WE destroy it with utter destruction. 17. How many generations did WE destroy after Noah ! and thy Lord suffices as Knower and Seer of the sins of HIS servants. |
