The Book is from Allah, and in the heavens, the earth, our own creation, the alternation of night and day, the rain and the turning of the winds are signs for those who believe, who are certain and who use reason. Woe to every sinful liar who hears the verses of Allah, then persists in arrogance as if he had not heard them. Allah subjected the sea to you so that ships may sail on it, and whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Whoever does good, it is for himself, and whoever does evil, it is against himself. The Children of Israel were given the Book, judgement and prophethood, yet they differed out of envy after knowledge came to them. Then the Prophet ﷺ was put on a clear way, so follow it. Those who do evil will not be made equal to those who believe. Have you seen the one who takes his own desire as his god? They say, “We die and we live, and nothing destroys us except time,” and ask for their forefathers to be brought back. But Allah gives life and death and will gather everyone. You will see every nation kneeling, each called to its record, for Allah’s record speaks with the truth. Those who believed enter His mercy. The others are told, “Today We forget you, as you forgot the meeting of this Day.” All praise is for Allah, Lord of the heavens, the earth and the worlds.
