162 Say: My prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are surely for Allāh, the Lord of the worlds— |
163 No associate has He. And this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who submit. |
164 Say: Shall I seek a Lord other than Allāh, while He is the Lord of all things? And no soul earns (evil) but against itself. Nor does a bearer of burden bear another’s burden. Then to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you of that in which you differed. |
165 And He it is Who has made you successors in the land and exalted some of you in rank above others, that He may try you by what He has given you. Surely thy Lord is Quick in requiting (evil), and He is surely the Forgiving, the Merciful. |
1 I, Allāh, am the best Knower, the Truthful. |
2 A Book revealed to thee — so let there be no straitness in thy breast concerning it — that thou mayest warn thereby, and a Reminder to the believers. |
3 Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and follow not besides Him any guardians; little do you mind! |
4 And how many a town have We destroyed! So Our punishment came to it by night or while they slept at midday. |
5 Yet their cry, when Our punishment came to them, was nothing but that they said: Surely we were wrong-doers. |
6 Then certainly We shall question those to whom messengers were sent, and We shall question the messengers, |
7 Then surely We shall relate to them with knowledge, and We are never absent. |
