81 And He shows you His signs; which then of Allāh’s signs will you deny? |
82 Do they not travel in the land and see what was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than these and greater in strength and in fortifications in the land, but what they earned availed them not. |
83 Then when their messengers came to them with clear arguments, they exulted in what they had with them of knowledge and that at which they used to mock befell them. |
84 So when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believe in Allāh alone, and we deny what we used to associate with Him. |
85 But their faith could not profit them when they saw Our punishment. Such is Allāh’s law, which ever takes its course in the matter of His servants; and there the disbelievers are lost. |
1 Beneficent God! |
2 A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
3 A Book of which the verses are made plain, an Arabic Qur’ān for a people who know — |
4 Good news and a warning. But most of them turn away, so they hear not. |
5 And they say: Our hearts are under coverings from that to which thou callest us, and there is a deafness in our ears, and there is a veil between us and thee, so act, we too are acting. |
6 Say: I am only a mortal like you. It is revealed to me that your God is one God, so keep in the straight path to Him, and ask His protection. And woe to the polytheists! |
7 Who give not the poor-rate, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter. |
8 Those who believe and do good, for them is surely a reward never to be cut off. |
