الْمُؤْمِنُون

On the contrary they say things similar to what the ancients said.

They say: "What! when we die and become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?

"Such things have been promised to us and to our fathers before! they are nothing but tales of the ancients!"

Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (say) if ye know!"

They will say, "To Allah!" say: "Yet will ye not receive admonition?"

Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme?"

They will say, "(They belong) to Allah." Say: "Will ye not then be filled with awe?"

Say: "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things,- who protects (all), but is not protected (of any)? (say) if ye know."

They will say, "(It belongs) to Allah." Say: "Then how are ye deluded?"

We have sent them the Truth: but they indeed practise falsehood!

No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!

He knows what is hidden and what is open: too high is He for the partners they attribute to Him!

Say: "O my Lord! if Thou wilt show me (in my lifetime) that which they are warned against,-

"Then, O my Lord! put me not amongst the people who do wrong!"

And We are certainly able to show thee (in fulfilment) that against which they are warned.

Repel evil with that which is best: We are well acquainted with the things they say.

And say "O my Lord! I seek refuge with Thee from the suggestions of the Evil Ones.

"And I seek refuge with Thee O my Lord! lest they should come near me."

(In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: "O my Lord! send me back (to life),-

"In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." - "By no means! It is but a word he says."- Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.
