The Believers

The believers have been in Salvation,

they are those who feel reverence while performing their prayers

and they are those who turn away from everything vain,

and they are those who are givers of alms (Az-Zakat),

and they are those who guard their chastity,

except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess (their concubines), for that they surely are not blamed.

And those who desire more than this, they are unbridled.

And those who are the keepers (loyal ones) of their trusts (the three bodies and the will) and their covenants.

And those who guard (continue) their prayers.

These are they who are the heirs,

who will inherit the highest (Paradise of Eden), where they shall abide forever.

And I swear, We created human out of an moist soil (organic and inorganic damp earth),

then We placed it as a drop in a secure place,

and then We created a blood clot from a drop (and attached it to the wall of the womb). Then from (this) blood clot We created an embryo in the form of a chewed piece of meat, and then from the embryo We made bones, and later We clothed the bones with meat. Then We shaped it in another creation. Blessed be Allah, the Most Beautiful Creator!

Surely, after that you will certainly die.

Then surely on the Doomsday you shall be resurrected.

And I swear, We have created above you seven paths and We are not ignorant of Creating.

And We send down water from the sky with a predestined amount, then We shaped with it (lakes, rivers, seas) in the earth, and most surely, We are able (by evaporating) to remove it.

Thereby with her (with water) We have grown for you gardens of date-palms and grapes, in which various fruits grow for you, and you eat them.

And there is a tree that grows out of Mount Sinai which produces oil and it is a condiment for the eaters.

And most surely there is a lesson for you in the animals. We make you drink of what is in their bellies, and there are in them numerous benefits for you and you eat on it,

and on them and on the ships you are carried.

And I swear, We sent Noah to his people. Then he said (to them): “O my people! Become servants to Allah. You have no god other than Him. Will you not then be the owners of takwa (do you not want to return the spirit to Allah in lifetime)?”

And the elites of those who disbelieved from among his people said: “He is nothing but a human being like yourselves. He desires that he may have superiority over you, and if Allah had willed, He would certainly have sent down angels. We have not heard of this from our forefathers”.

He’s just a possessed (madness) person, so keep him under supervision for a while”.

(Noah) said: “My Lord! Help me because they have belied me”.

So We revealed to him to make the Ark before Our Eyes (under Our Control) and with Our Revelation. Then when Our Command came and the Tennur (atom) boiled, take into it of every kind a pair (animal) and your followers and your families, except those among them against whom the decision has gone forth. And do not ask Me (forgiveness) about for tyrants. Surely, they are to be drowned (they are already decided to be drowned).

Then when you are embarked in the Ark, you and those with you should say: “All praise is due to Allah who delivered us from the unjust people”.

And say: “My Lord, cause me disembark in such a blessed disembarking, and You are the Best to disembark”.

Most surely there are Signs in this, and surely We are testing.

Then We created after them another generation.

So We sent among them a Messenger that is from them, to become servants to Allah. You have no deity other than Him. Will you not then be the owners of takwa (Wouldn't you like to return the spirit to Allah in lifetime)?

And the unbelieving leaders of his people, who refuted the meeting with the Last Day (with Allah), and to whom We granted prosperity in world’s life, said: “He is none other, but only the same human as you. He eats the same, what you eat and drinks what you drink.

And if you obey a human like yourselves, then most surely you will be one of those who have fallen into Loss (Husran). Loss (Husran).

Does he promise you that when you are dead and become dust and bones, you shall then be brought forth (from dust)?

Pity, very pity is that which you are promised!

It (that life) is not but our life of this world! We die and we live! And we shall not be raised again.

He (Messenger) just only a man who has slandering with lie Allah, and we are not to believe in him”.

(The Messenger) said: “My Lord! Help me because they belie me”.

(Allah said): “In a little (while) they will most certainly be regretful”.

Then a terrible sound wave overtook them rightfully (as they deserved), and We made them particles. May the evil people be far away (from the Mercy of Allah)!

Then, after them, We created other generations.

No nation can advance their term, nor can they delay it.

Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Whenever its Messenger came to a nation, they belied him; then We (destroyed them) one after another and We made them stories. May the unbelieving people be far away (from the Mercy of Allah).

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our Verses, and a clear Sultan (the Torah)

to Pharaoh and his notables, but they behaved arrogantly and they became despot people.

Then they said: “Shall we believe in two human beings (Moses and Aaron) like ourselves, whereas people of both are our servants”?

So they belied them both and became of those who were destroyed.

And I swear, We gave Moses the Book that they may have Return (submitted their spirit, physical body, soul and free will to Allah).

And We made the son of Mary (Jesus) and his mother a Sign (miracle) and We sheltered them both in a shelter on a high hill with flowing springs.

O Messengers! Eat clean (lawful, blessings) and do righteous deeds (that purify the soul). Surely, I know the best what you do.

And surely this nation of yours is a single nation (one religion), and I am your Lord. So be the owners of takwa (spiritual armor) towards Me (wish to reach Me before death).

But they cut off the affairs (of the Religion) among themselves into parts, each group rejoicing in that which they accepted.

Therefore leave them Darkness till a time.

Do they think that We support them with wealth and sons,

and We hasten to them the good things? Nay, they are not aware.

Surely those are they who are in awe of their Lord,

and those are they who believe in the Verses of their Lord,

and those are they who do not associate (anything) with their Lord,

and they give (return) what they have to give (spirit) and their hearts tremble because they are the returned (returned their spirit) ones to their Lord.

They (Sabikûns) compete in good and in this (in goodness) they are ahead.

And We do not lay on any soul a burden except according to its capacity (to the extent of its ability). With Us is a Book (life film) which speaks the truth and shall not be tyrannized.

Nay, their hearts are in heedlessness (Darkness) and they have besides these other deeds which they do.

When We seize those who lead a luxury life with the torment, they beg and cry for help.

Do not cry for help on that day. Surely you shall not be helped by Us.

Our Verses were recited (read and explained) to you, but on your heels, you had turned around and run,

you were arrogant to them, talking non-sense (about My Verses), gathering by night.

Have they not pondered over the Word (Have they not grasped meaning of the Qur’an) or has there come to them what had not come to their forefathers?

Or they did not recognize (accept) their Messenger. Then they are the ones who deny him (the Messenger)?

Or do they say that there is madness in him? Nay! (He) came to them with the truth and most of them are averse from the truth.

And if the Truth had followed their low desires, surely the heavens and the earth and all those that are therein would have been destroyed. Nay! We have brought them their Praise (Dhikr) but they turn aside from their Praise (Dhikr) they turn aside.

Or do you ask of them a reward (payment)? Surely your Lord’s Reward (Reward) is better. And He is the Best of those who give provision.

And most surely you are calling them to Sıratı Mustakîm (the path of guidance that leads to Allah).

And most surely those who do not believe in the Hereafter (in returning spirit to Allah while they are living) indeed are the ones who are deviated from the Way (from Sıratı Mustakîm/the path of guidance that leads to Allah) (they are those who are in Darkness).

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

And verily We seized them with the torment, but they were not submissive to their Lord and they did not pray earnestly.

As We opened upon them a gate of severe torment, then they got in to despair.

It is He Who has designed (created) for you (the senses of) hearing, seeing and comprehending. How little you thank!

And it is He Who spread you through the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered.

And He it is Who gives life and causes death, and to Him belongs the alternation of night and day (He controls them). Do you still not comprehend?

Nay, they said the same thing that the former ones said.

They said: “When we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we then be raised again?

We swear that this was promised to us and our fathers aforetime. This is merely the tales of the ancients”.

Say: "Who owns the earth and all who are on it, (answer) if you know?"

They will say: “Allah’s”. Say: “Will you then still not deliberate”?

Say: “Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of Heaven of Heavens”?

They will say: “Allah’s”. Say: “Will you still not then be the owners of takwa (spiritual armor)”?

Say: “Who is it in Whose Hand is the Sovereignty of all things and Who protects, but Who is not in need of being protected, (answer) if you do but know”?

They will say: “Allah’s”. Say: “How then are you deceived”?

Nay! We have brought them the truth, and most surely, they are liars.

Never did Allah take a child and never is there with Him any (other) god. Otherwise would each god have certainly destroy what he created and some of them would raise themselves above others. Glory be to Allah above what they describe (of Him).

(He is the) Knower of the Unseen and the seen. And He is Exalted above what they associate (with Him).

Say: "My Lord! If You show me what is promised,

My Lord! Then do not leave me amongst the cruel people”.

And most surely, We are Well Able to make you see what We have promised them.

Repel evil with what is best. We know best what they describe.

And say: “My Lord! I seek refuge in you from the whispers of the satans”.

And, my Lord, I seek refuge in You from their presence near me!”

When death came unto one of them, he said: “My Lord, send me back,

100

so that I may do righteous deed (cleansing the soul) that I have left”. Nay, surely, what he speaks it is (vain) a word! And behind them there is a barrier until the Day they will be raised..

101

When the Trumpet is blown on the Day of Permission, there will be no family ties between them, and they do not ask (about condition) each other.

102

So, whose scales (of good deeds) will be heavy, here they are in Salavation!

103

And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who fail their souls into loss, they will abide forever in Hell.

104

The Fire shall scorch their twisted (from pain) faces.

105

Were not you those who used to belie My Verses when they were recited to you?

106

They said: “Our Lord! Our licentiousness overcame us, and we were a people who were in Darkness.

107

Our Lord! Take us out of it (Hell); then if we turn away, surely, we shall be tyrants”.

108

He said: “Stay there (in Hell) and don’t talk to Me”!!

109

Surely a party of my servants say: “Our Lord! We believed (We wished our spirit to reach You before death) so replace our sins with good and have mercy on us (affect us with Your Name Most Merciful) and you are the Best of the Merciful.

110

But you mocked them so much, that even (because of this) you forgot My praise (Dhikr) and you used to laugh at them.

111

Surely, I have rewarded them this today, because they were patient that they have attained Salvation.

112

He said: “How many years did you stay on earth”?

113

They said: “We stayed a day or a part of a day. Ask of those who kept account”.

114

He said: “You stayed but a little, if you had only known!

115

Did you then think that We had created you in vain and that you shall not be returned to Us?

116

So Exalted be Allah, the True King. There is no god but He. The Lord of the Noble Heaven of Heavens”.

117

And whoever worships Allah with another god, even though he has no proof, then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely the disbelievers shall not have Salvation.

118

And say: “My Lord! Forgive (replace our sins with good) and have mercy (affect us with Your Name Most Merciful) and You are the Best of the Merciful”.
