10 And that those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful chastisement. |
11 And man prays for evil as he ought to pray for good; and man is ever hasty. |
12 And We made the night and the day two signs, then We have made the sign of the night to pass away and We have made the sign of the day manifest, so that you may seek grace from your Lord, and that you may know the numbering of years and the reckoning. And We have explained everything with distinctness. |
13 And We have made every man’s actions to cling to his neck, and We shall bring forth to him on the day of Resurrection a book which he will find wide open. |
14 Read thy book. Thine own soul is sufficient as a reckoner against thee this day. |
15 Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright; and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he go astray. And no bearer of a burden can bear the burden of another. Nor do We chastise until We raise a messenger. |
24 And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy, and say: My Lord, have mercy on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little. |
25 Your Lord knows best what is in your minds. If you are righteous, He is surely Forgiving to those who turn (to Him). |
26 And give to the near of kin his due and (to) the needy and the wayfarer, and squander not wastefully. |
27 Surely the squanderers are the devil’s brethren. And the devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord. |
28 And if thou turn away from them to seek mercy from thy Lord, which thou hopest for, speak to them a gentle word. |
29 And make not thy hand to be shackled to thy neck, nor stretch it forth to the utmost (limit) of its stretching forth, lest thou sit down blamed, stripped off. |
30 Surely thy Lord makes plentiful the means of subsistence for whom He pleases, and He straitens. Surely He is ever Aware, Seer, of His servants. |
