| 22. Is he then whose bosom ALLAH has opened for the acceptance of Islam, so that he possesses a light from his Lord, like him who is grouping in the darkness of disbelief ? Woe, then, to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of ALLAH ! They are in manifest error. 23. ALLAH has sent down the Best Discourse - a Book, whose verses are mutually supporting and repeated in diverse forms. The skins of those, who fear their Lord, do creep at its recital, then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of ALLAH. Such is the guidance of ALLAH. HE guides therewith whom HE pleases. And he whom ALLAH adjudges astray - he shall have no guide. 24. Is he, then, who has only his own face to shield from the evil punishment on the Day of Resurrection, like him who is secure ? And it will be said to the wrongdoers, `Taste ye the recompense of what you used to earn.' 25. Those, who were before them, rejected Our Messengers, so the punishment came upon them whence they knew not. 26. So ALLAH made them taste humiliation in the present life and the punishment of the Hereafter will certainly be greater, if they but knew. 27. And, indeed, WE have set forth for mankind all manner of parables in this Qur'an that they may take heed. 28. WE have revealed the Qur'an in Arabic wherein there is no deviation from rectitude, that they may become righteous. 29. ALLAH sets forth a parable - a man belonging to several partners, who disagree with one another, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal in condition ? All praise belongs to ALLAH. But most of them know not. 30. Surely, thou wilt die, and surely, they too, will die. 31. Then, surely, on the day of Resurrection you will dispute with one another before your Lord. |
