The Book was sent down with the truth, so worship Allah sincerely. Those who take protectors say they only bring them nearer to Him, but He is the One, the Overpowering. He wraps the night over the day, runs the sun and the moon, and forms you in the womb in three darknesses. When harm touches man he calls on his Lord, then forgets once he is favoured. Are those who know equal to those who do not know? The real losers lose themselves and their families. Water falls, crops grow, turn yellow and crumble. Allah sent down the best of speech, and the skins of those who fear Him shiver, then soften. A slave owned by quarrelling partners is not like a slave who belongs to one man. You will die, and they will die, and you will argue your case before your Lord. Is Allah not enough for His servant? He takes souls at death and in sleep, keeping some and sending back others. The wrongdoers would give all the earth, and as much again, to ransom themselves. “Do not despair of Allah’s mercy. Allah forgives all sins.” So turn to Him before a soul says, “If only I had another chance.” The whole earth will be in His grip and the heavens folded in His right hand. The Trumpet is blown, all fall dead, and at a second blast they stand looking on. Then the disbelievers are driven to Hell in groups and the mindful to Paradise in groups, and the angels surround the Throne, saying, “Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.”
