22 Neither are the living and the dead alike. Surely Allāh makes whom He pleases hear, and thou canst not make those hear who are in the graves. |
23 Thou art naught but a warner. |
24 Surely We have sent thee with the Truth as a bearer of good news and a warner. And there is not a people but a warner has gone among them. |
25 And if they reject thee, those before them also rejected — their messengers came to them with clear arguments, and with scriptures, and with the illuminating Book. |
26 Then I seized those who disbelieved, so how (terrible) was My disapproval! |
27 Seest thou not that Allāh sends down water from the clouds, then We bring forth therewith fruits of various hues? And in the mountains are streaks, white and red, of various hues and (others) intensely black. |
28 And of men and beasts and cattle there are various colours likewise. Those of His servants only who are possessed of knowledge fear Allāh. Surely Allāh is Mighty, Forgiving. |
29 Surely those who recite the Book of Allāh and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them, secretly and openly, hope for a gain which perishes not — |
30 That He may pay them back fully their rewards and give them more out of His grace. Surely He is Forgiving, Multiplier of reward. |
31 And that which We have revealed to thee of the Book, that is the truth, verifying that which is before it. Surely Allāh is Aware, Seer of His servants. |
32 Then We have given the Book as inheritance to those whom We have chosen from among Our servants: so of them is he who wrongs himself, and of them is he who takes a middle course, and of them is he who is foremost in deeds of goodness by Allāh’s permission. That is the great grace, |
33 Gardens of perpetuity, which they enter — they are made to wear therein bracelets of gold and pearls, and their dress therein is silk. |
