1[65] When He has inspired thee and those before thee that, “If thou dost associate aught with Him, thy work will surely be in vain, and thou shalt surely be of those who -XXXIX, 65-73. THE CHAPTER OF THE TROOPS. 189 lose!” N ay, but God do thou serve, and be of those who do give thanks!’ And they do not value God at His true value; while the earth all of it is but a handful for Him on the resurrection day, and the heavens shall be rolled up in His right hand! Celebrated be His praise! and exalted be He above what they associate with Him! And the trumpet shall be blown, and those who are in the heavens and in the earth shall swoon, save whom: God pleases. Then it shall be blown again, and, lo! they shall stand up and look on. And the earth shall beam with the light of its Lord, and the Book shall be set forth, and the prophets and martyrs! shall be brought ; and it shall be decreed between them in truth, and they shall not be wronged! [70] And every soul shall be paid for what it has done, and He knows best that which they do; and those who misbelieve shall be driven to hell in troops; and when they come there, its doors shalt be opened, and its keepers shall say to them, ‘Did not apostles from amongst yourselves come to you to recite to you the signs of your Lord, and to warn you of the meeting of this day of yours?’ They shalt say, ‘Yea, but the sentence of torment was due against the misbelievers!’ It shall be said, ‘Enter ye the gates of hell, to dwell therein for aye! Hell is the resort of those who are too big with pride?’ But those who fear their Lord shall be driven to Paradise in troops; until they come there, its doors shall be opened, and its keepers shall say to them, ‘Peace be upon you, ye have done well! 1 Or witnesses. 190 THE QUR'AN. XXXIX, 73-XL, 6. so enter in to dwell for aye!’ and they shall say, ‘Praise be to God, who hath made good His promise to us, and hath given us the earth to inherit! We establish ourselves in Paradise wherever we please ; and goodly is the reward of those who work!’ { [75] And thou shalt see the angels circling round about the throne, celebrating the praise of their Lord; and it shall be decided between them in truth ; and it shall be said,‘ Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds!’ Tur CHAPTER OF THE BELIEVER. (XL. Mecca.) In the name of the merciful and compassionate God. ‘H.M. The sending down of the Book from God, the mighty, the knowing, the forgiver of sin and accepter of repentance, keen at punishment, longsuffering ! there is no god but He! to whom the journey is!

2[5] The people of Noah before them called the prophets liars; and the confederates after them ; and every nation schemed against their Apostle to catch him. And they wrangled with falsehood that they might refute the truth thereby, but I seized them, and how was my punishment! Thus was the sentence of thy Lord due against those who misbelieved, that they are the fellows of the Fire! XL, 7-15. THE CHAPTER OF THE BELIEVER. 191 Those who bear the throne and those around it celebrate the praise of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask pardon for those who believe: ‘ Our Lord! thou dost embrace all things in mercy and knowledge, then pardon those who turn repentant and follow thy way, and guard them from the torment of hell! Our Lord! make them enter into gardens of Eden which thou hast promised to them, and to those who do well of their fathers, and their wives, and their seed; verily, thou art the mighty, the wise! and guard them from evil deeds, for he whom thou shalt guard from evil deeds on that day, thou wilt have had mercy on, and that is mighty bliss!’ [10] Verily, those who misbelieve shall be cried out to, ‘Surely, God's hatred is greater than your hatred of each other when ye were called unto the faith and misbelieved !’ They shall say, ‘Our Lord! Thou hast killed us twice, and Thou hast quickened us twice!; and we do confess our sins: is there then a way for getting out ?’ That is because when God alone was proclaimed ye did disbelieve ; but when partners were joined to Him ye did believe ; but judgment belongs to God, the high, the great! He it is who shows you His signs, and sends down to you from heaven provision; but none is mindful except him who turns repentant; then call on God, being sincere in your religion to Him, averse although the misbelievers be! [15] Exalted of degrees! The Lord 1 Referring to the absence of life before birth and the deprivation of it at death, and to the being quickened at birth and raised again after death. 192 THE QUR'AN, XL, 15-26. of the throne! He throws the spirit by His bidding upon whom He will of His servants, to give warning of the day of meeting. The day when they shall be issuing forth, naught concerning them shall be hidden from God. Whose is the kingdom on that day ?—God’s, the one, the dominant! to-day shall every soul be recompensed for that which it has earned. There is no wrong to-day; verily, God is quick at reckoning up! And warn them of the day that approaches, when hearts are choking in the gullets; those who do wrong shall have no warm friend, and no intercessor who shall be obeyed. [20] He knows the deceitful of eye and what men’s breasts conceal, and God decides with truth; but those they call on beside Him do not decide at all: verily, God, He both hears and looks.
3[20] He knows the deceitful of eye and what men’s breasts conceal, and God decides with truth; but those they call on beside Him do not decide at all: verily, God, He both hears and looks. Have they not journeyed on in the earth and seen how was the end of those who journeyed on before them? They were stronger than them in might, and their vestiges are in the land; but God caught them up in their sins, and they had none to guard them against God. That is for that their apostles did come to them with manifest signs, and they misbelieved, and God caught them up; verily, He is mighty, keen to punish ! And we did send Moses with our signs, and with obvious authority, [25] unto Pharaoh and Hémén and Qartin. They said,‘A lying sorcerer!’ and when they came to them with truth from us, they said, ‘ Kill the sons of those who believe with him, and let their women live!’ but the stratagem of the misbelievers is only in error! XL, 27-36. THE CHAPTER OF THE BELIEVER. 193 And Pharaoh said, ‘ Let me kill Moses; and then let him call upon his Lord! verily, I fear that he will change your religion, or that he will cause evil doing to appear in the land.’ And Moses said, ‘Verily, I take refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every one who is big with pride and believes not on the day of reckoning.’ And a believing man of Pharaoh’s people, who concealed his faith, said, ‘Will ye kill a man for saying, My Lord is God, when he has come to you with manifest signs from your Lord ? and if he be a liar, against him is his lie; and if he be truthful, there will befall you ‘somewhat of that which he threatens you; verily, God guides not him who is an extravagant liar. [30] O my people! yours is the kingdom to-day, ye are eminent in the land, but who will help us against the violence of ‘God, if it comes upon us?’ Said Pharaoh, ‘I will only show you what I see, and I will only guide you into the way of right direction.’ And he who believed said, ‘O my people! verily, I fear for you the like of the day of the confederates, the like of the wont of the people of Noah and ‘Ad and H4méan, and of those after them ; for ‘God desires not injustice for His servants. O my people! verily, I fear for you the day of crying out,— [35] the day when ye shall turn your backs, fleeing, with no defender for you against God; for he whom God leads astray, for him there is no guide! ‘And Joseph came to you before with manifest signs, but ye ceased not to doubt concerning what he brought you, until, when he perished, ye said, “God will not send after him an apostle;” thus [9] fe) 194 THE QUR'AN. XL, 36-46. does God lead astray him who is extravagant, a doubter. ‘Those who wrangle concerning the signs of God without authority having come to them are greatly hated by God and by those who believe; thus does God set a stamp upon the heart of every tyrant too big with pride!’
