1they shall have none to defend them against God ;—as though their faces were veiled with the deep darkness of the night ; these are the fellows of the Fire, and they shall dwell therein for aye. And on the day we gather them all together then we will say to those who associated other gods (with us), ‘To your places, ye and your associates !’ and we will part them; and their associates will say, ‘It was not us ye worshipped.—[30] But God is witness enough between us and you, that we were heedless of your worshipping us.’ There shall every soul prove what it has sent on before; and they shall be returned unto God, their God, their true sovereign, and that which they devised shall stray away from them. Say, ‘Who provides you from the heaven and the earth ? who has dominion over hearing and sight ? and who brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living ? and who governs the affair?’ And they will say, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Do ye not then fear ?’ That is God, your true Lord! and what is there X, 33-41. THE CHAPTER OF JONAH. 197 after the truth but error? how then can ye turn away ? Thus is the word of thy Lord verified against those who commit abomination; verily, they will not believe. Say, ‘Is there any of your associates who can produce a creature and then turn it back again?’ Say, ‘God produces a creature, then turns it back again ; how then can ye lie?’ [35] Say, ‘Is there any of your associates who guides unto the truth ?? Say, ‘God guides unto the truth.’ Is then He who guides unto the truth more worthy to be followed, or he that guides not except he be himself guided? What ails you then, how ye judge ? But most of them follow only suspicion; verily, suspicion does not avail against the truth at. all; verily, God knows what they do. This Qur’4n could not have been devised by any beside God; but it verifies that which was before it, and details the Book—there is no doubt therein—from the Lord of the worlds. Do they say, ‘He? hath devised it ?’ say then, ‘Bring a sdrah like it,—and call, if ye can, on other than God, if ye do tell the truth!’ [40] Yet they call that a lie, the knowledge of which they cannot compass, while its interpretation has not yet come to them; so did those before them charge with lying, and see what was the end of the unjust! Of them are some who believe therein; and of them are some who do not believe therein ; but thy Lord knows best who are corrupters. 1 J. e. Mohammed. 198 THE QuR’AN, X, 42-53. But if they call thee liar, say, ‘I have my work, and ye have your work; ye are clear of what I work, and I am clear of what ye work.’ There are some of them who listen to thee—canst thou make the deaf to hear, although they have no sense? And of them are some who look at thee—canst thou guide the blind, although they cannot see? [45] Verily, God wrongs not man at all, but men do wrong themselves.
2And of them are some who look at thee—canst thou guide the blind, although they cannot see? [45] Verily, God wrongs not man at all, but men do wrong themselves. And on the day when we will gather them together it will be as though they had not tarried save an hour of the day, they shall know each other. Lost are those who called the meeting with God a lie, and were not guided! Either we will show thee something of that with which we threatened them, or we will take thee to ourself, for unto us is their return; then is God a witness to what they do. Every nation has its apostle; and when their apostle comes to them, it is decided between them with justice, and they are not wronged, But they say, ‘When is this threat (to come), if ye tell the truth ?’ [50] Say, ‘I have no power over myself for harm or for profit, save what God will. Every nation has its appointed time; when their appointed time comes to them they cannot delay it for an hour or bring it on.’ Say, ‘Let us see now when the torment comes to you, by night or day, what will the sinners fain bring on thereof ? And when it has fallen—will ye believe in it now!—And yet ye wish to bring iton! Then shall it be said to those who have done X, 53-62. THE CHAPTER OF JONAH. 199 wrong, Taste ye the torment of eternity! shall ye be recompensed except for that which ye have earned ?’ They will ask thee to inform them whether it be true. Say, ‘Aye, by my Lord! verily, it is the truth, nor can ye weaken him.’ [55] And if every soul that hath done wrong had whatever is in the earth, it would give it as a ransom. They will utter their repentance when they see the torment; and it shall be decided between them with justice, nor shall they be wronged. Is not indeed what is in the heavens and what is in the earth God’s? is not indeed the promise of God true? Though most of them know not. He quickens and He kills, and unto Him are ye returned ! O ye folk! there has come to you a warning from your Lord, and a balm for what is in your breasts, and a guidance and a mercy to believers. Say, ‘ By the grace of God and by His mercy,— and in that let them rejoice! It is better than that which they collect !’ [60] Let us see now what Ged has sent down to you of provision! and yet ye have made of it unlawful and lawful. Say, ‘Does God permit you, or against God do ye forge lies ?’ What will those who forge lies against God think on the resurrection day ? Verily, God is Lord of grace towards men, but most of them do not give thanks! Nor shalt thou be in any affair, nor shalt thou recite concerning it a Qur’4n4—nor shall ye do a work, without our being witness against you, when 1 A portion of the Qur'an.

Are not, verily, the friends of God those on whom there is no fear, neither shall they be grieved ?— They who believed and who did fear—{65] for them are good tidings in the life of this world, and in the future too; there is no changing the words of God! That is the mighty happiness ! Let not their speech grieve thee; verily, power is wholly Ged’s! He both hears and knows. Is not, verily, whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth God’s? What then do they follow who call on associates other than God ? Verily, they follow nothing but suspicion, and verily, they are telling naught but lies. . He it is who made for you the night, that ye might rest therein, and the day to see therein; verily, in that are signs unto a people who can hear. They say, ‘God has taken to Himself a son.’ Celebrated be His praises! He is the rich one! His is whatever is in the heavens, and whatever is in the earth. Ye have no authority for this! will ye say against God, that which ye do not know ? [70] Say, ‘ Verily, those who forge against God a lie shall not prosper !’ A provision in this world—then unto us is their return! then we will make them taste keen torment for that they misbelieved. Recite to them the story of Noah, when he said to his people, ‘O my people! if my stay with you be grievous to you, and my reminding you of the signs of God, yet upon God do I rely! Collect X, 72-81.

[75] Then we raised up after him apostles unto their people, and they came to them with manifest signs; but they would not believe in what they had called a lie before. Thus do we set a stamp upon the hearts of the transgressors. Then we raised up after them Moses and Aaron, unto Pharaoh and his chiefs with our signs; but they were too big with pride, and were a sinful people ; and when the truth came to them from us they said, verily, ‘ This is obvious sorcery.’ Moses said, ‘ Will ye say of the truth when it comes to you, Is this sorcery? But sorcerers shall not prosper.’ They said, ‘Hast thou come to turn us away from what we found our fathers at, that there may be for you twain grandeur in the earth? but we will not believe you.’
