Quran Chapter 51: Surah Adh-Dhariyat (The Winnowing Winds) English Translation Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

(51:1) By the winds which scatter dust, (51:2) which carry clouds laden with water, (51:3) which then smoothly speed along, (51:4) and execute the great task of apportioning (rainfall): (51:5) surely what you are being warned against is true, (51:6) and the Judgement shall doubtlessly take place. (51:7) By the heaven with its numerous forms: (51:8) surely you are at variance (about the Hereafter); (51:9) though only those who are averse to the Truth will turn away from (believing in it). (51:10) Doomed are the conjecturers (51:11) who are steeped in ignorance and heedlessness. (51:12) They ask: “When will the Day of Judgement be?” (51:13) It will be the Day when they shall be scourged by the Fire (51:14) (and be told): “Taste your ordeal! This is what you were seeking to hasten.” (51:15) As for the God-fearing, they shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains, (51:16) joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them. Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day): (51:17) they used to sleep but little by night, (51:18) and would ask for forgiveness at dawn, (51:19) and in their wealth there was a rightful share for him who would ask and for the destitute. (51:20) There are many Signs on earth for those of sure faith, (51:21) and also in your own selves. Do you not see? (51:22) And in heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised. (51:23) So, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is certainly true, as true as the fact of your speaking. (51:24) (O Prophet), did the story of Abraham’s honoured guests reach you? (51:25) When they came to him, they said: “Peace”; he said: “Peace also be to you; (you seem to be) a group of strangers.” (51:26) Then he went back to his family and brought a fat roasted calf (51:27) and laid it before them, saying: “Will you not eat?” (51:28) Then he became afraid of them. They said: “Fear not,” and announced to him the good news of (the birth of) a boy endowed with knowledge. (51:29) So hearing his wife went forth shouting. She struck her face and exclaimed: “A barren old woman am I.” (51:30) They said: “So has your Lord said (that you shall have a boy). Surely He is Most Wise, All-Knowing.” (51:31) Abraham said: “Envoys (of Allah), what is your errand?” (51:32) They replied: “Behold, we have been sent to a wicked people (51:33) that we may unleash a shower of clay-stones (51:34) marked by your Lord upon those who go beyond the limits.” (51:35) Then We evacuated there from all the believers (51:36) – and We did not find there any, apart from a single house of Muslims – (51:37) and We left therein a Sign for those who fear the grievous chastisement. (51:38) There is also a Sign for you in the story of Moses when We sent him with a clear authority to Pharaoh. (51:39) But Pharaoh turned away, showing arrogance on account of his power, and said (about Moses): “He is either a sorcerer or a madman.” (51:40) So We seized him and his hosts, and cast them into the sea. He became an object of much blame. (51:41) There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Ad, when We let loose upon them an ominous wind (51:42) that left nothing that it came upon without reducing it to rubble. (51:43) There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Thamud. They were told: “Enjoy yourselves for a while.” (51:44) But they brazenly disobeyed their Lord’s command, and then a sudden chastisement overtook them while they looked on. (51:45) They were unable even to stand up or protect themselves. (51:46) Before all these We destroyed the people of Noah: they were a wicked people. ...

Quran Chapter 52: Surah At-Tur (The Mount) English Translation Aug 03, 2022

(52:1) By the Mount, (52:2) and the Book inscribed (52:3) on fine parchment; (52:4) by the much-frequented House, (52:5) by the elevated canopy; (52:6) and by the swelling sea: (52:7) verily your Lord's chastisement shall come to pass, (52:8) none can avert that. (52:9) (It shall come to pass) on the Day when the heaven will convulse in a great convulsion, (52:10) and the mountains shall violently fly about. (52:11) Woe, then, on that Day to those who give the lie (to this Message) (52:12) and amuse themselves with vain argumentation. (52:13) On the Day when they shall be thrust into Hell with a violent thrust (and shall be told): (52:14) “This is the Hell which you used to give the lie to.” (52:15) Is this, then, any feat of magic or are you unable to see? (52:16) Go now and burn in it. It is all the same whether you bear it patiently or do not bear it with patience. You are only being recompensed for your deeds.” (52:17) Surely the God-fearing shall be in Gardens and bliss, (52:18) enjoying what Allah will have endowed them with; and their Lord will have saved them from the torment of the Blazing Fire. (52:19) (They will be told): “Eat and drink to your hearts' content as a reward for your deeds.” (52:20) The God-fearing shall be reclining on couches facing each other, and We shall wed them to maidens with large, beautiful eyes. (52:21) We shall unite the believers with those descendants of theirs who followed them in their faith, and shall not deny them any part of the reward for their good deeds. Every person is pledged to what he did. (52:22) We shall provide them in abundance with all kinds of fruit and meat, whatever they may desire. (52:23) They shall pass on to one another a cup that will incite neither levity nor sin. (52:24) Youths as fair as hidden pearls will be set apart to wait upon them; they will be running to and fro to serve them. (52:25) They will turn to one another and ask (regarding the past events). (52:26) They will say: “When we were living before among our kinsfolk we lived in constant fear (of Allah's displeasure). (52:27) Then Allah graced us with His favour and saved us from the chastisement of the scorching wind. (52:28) Formerly we had always prayed to Him. Surely He is Most Benign, Most Compassionate.” (52:29) So exhort (them, O Prophet), for by your Lord's Grace, you are neither a soothsayer nor a madman. (52:30) Or do they say: “He is a poet for whom we await an adverse turn of fortune.” (52:31) Tell them: “Wait; I too am waiting with you.” (52:32) Do their minds prompt them to say such things, or are they a people immersed in transgression?” (52:33) Do they say: “He has himself fabricated the Qur'an?” No; the truth is that they are altogether averse to believing. (52:34) (If they are truthful in this), then let them produce a discourse of similar splendour. (52:35) Did they come into being without any creator? Or were they their own creators? (52:36) Or is it they who created the heavens and the earth? No; the truth is that they lack sure faith. (52:37) Or do they have your Lord's treasures in their keeping? Or have absolute authority over them? (52:38) Or do they have a ladder whereon they can climb and attempt to listen (to what is transpiring in the Higher Realm)? Then, let any of them who has listened to it produce a clear proof of it. (52:39) Or does Allah have daughters whereas you have sons? ......

Quran Chapter 53: Surah An-Najm (The Star) English Translation Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

(53:1) By the star when it sets: (53:2) your companion has neither strayed nor is he deluded; (53:3) nor does he speak out of his desire. (53:4) This is nothing but a revelation that is conveyed to him, (53:5) something that a very powerful one has imparted to him, (53:6) one endowed with immense wisdom. He came forth and stood poised, (53:7) being on the higher horizon. (53:8) Then he drew near and hung above suspended, (53:9) until he was two bows' length away, or nearer. (53:10) Then he revealed to Allah's servant whatever he had to reveal. (53:11) His heart added no untruth to what he saw. (53:12) Are you, then, going to contend with him regarding what he sees with his eyes? (53:13) Indeed he saw him a second time, (53:14) by the lote-tree at the farthest boundary, (53:15) near which is the Garden of Abode. (53:16) (This was) when the lote-tree was covered with that which covered it. (53:17) His eye did not waver, nor did it stray, (53:18) and he certainly saw some of the greatest Signs of His Lord. (53:19) Have you ever thought about al-Lat and al-Uzza, (53:20) and about the third deity, al-Manat? (53:21) Shall you have the male issues, and He the female issues? (53:22) That is indeed an unfair division! (53:23) These are nothing but names that you and your forefathers have invented, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They are merely following their conjectures and their carnal desires although guidance has come to them from their Lord. (53:24) Does man imagine that whatever he wishes for is right for him? (53:25) To Allah belong both the Next World and the present. (53:26) Numerous are the angels in the heavens; yet their intercession shall be of no avail, except in regard to those whom He grants the leave of intercession and whose plea He is pleased to accept. (53:27) Those who do not believe in the Hereafter give angels the names of females, (53:28) although they have no knowledge regarding that. They only follow their conjecture and conjecture can never take the place of the Truth. (53:29) So leave alone those who turn away from the remembrance of Us and who seek nothing but the life of the world – (53:30) that being the utmost of their knowledge. Surely your Lord fully knows those who have strayed away from His Path and He also fully knows those who are rightly guided. (53:31) To Allah alone belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. He will requite the evil-doers for their deeds and bestow a goodly reward on those who have done good, (53:32) on those who avoid grave sins and shameful deeds, even if they may sometimes stumble into lesser offences. Surely your Lord is abounding in His Forgiveness. Very well is He aware of you since He produced you from the earth, and while you were still in your mothers' wombs and not yet born. So do not boastfully claim yourselves to be purified. He fully knows those that are truly Godfearing. .....

Quran Chapter 54: Surah Al-Qamar (The Moon) English Translation Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

(54:1) The Hour of Resurrection drew near and the moon split asunder. (54:2) (Regardless of any Signs these people see), they turn away and say: “This is an ongoing sorcery.” (54:3) They also gave the lie to (the splitting asunder of the moon) and only followed their desires. Yet everything is destined to reach an end. (54:4) Surely there came to them narratives (of the ancient nations) that should suffice to deter (them from transgression), (54:5) narratives that are full of consummate wisdom. But warnings do not avail them. (54:6) So turn away from them, (O Prophet). On the Day when a caller shall call them to a thing most terrible, (54:7) with down-cast eyes they shall go forth from their graves, as though they were scattered locusts. (54:8) They shall be hurrying forth towards the caller, and the unbelievers (who had once denied this Day), will say: “This is a woeful Day.” (54:9) Before them Noah's people also gave the lie (to his Message). They rejected Our servant as a liar, saying: “He is a madman”; and he was rebuffed. (54:10) Then he called upon His Lord: “Verily I am vanquished; so come You to my aid.” (54:11) Thereupon We opened the gates of the sky for water to pour down, (54:12) and We made the earth burst forth with springs, and all this water converged to fulfil that which had been decreed. (54:13) And We bore Noah on the vessel built of planks and nails, (54:14) which sailed on under Our supervision: a reward for him who had been shown ingratitude. (54:15) And We left the Ark as a Sign. Is there, then, any who will take heed? (54:16) So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! (54:17) We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? (54:18) 'Ad also gave the lie (to Hud). So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! (54:19) We sent a tumultuous wind against them on a day of unremitting misfortune, (54:20) which tore people away and hurled them as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees. (54:21) So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! (54:22) We have made the Qur'an easy to derive lessons from. Is there, then, any who will take heed? (54:23) Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, (54:24) saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. (54:25) Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” (54:26) (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar. (54:27) We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. (54:28) Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” (54:29) Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. (54:30) So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! (54:31) Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. (54:32) Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? (54:33) Lot's people also gave the lie to the warnings, (54:34) and behold, We let loose upon them a tempest which rained stones upon them, except upon Lot's household whom We rescued in the last hours of the night (54:35) as a favour from Us. Thus do We reward those who give thanks. (54:36) Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings. (54:37) Then they even solicited his guests from him, whereupon We blotted out their eyes, (telling them): “Now have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings.” (54:38) Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. (54:39) So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. (54:40) Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed?....

(55:1) The Merciful One (55:2) has taught the Qur'an, (55:3) has created man, (55:4) and has taught him articulate speech. (55:5) The sun and the moon follow a reckoning, (55:6) and the stars and the trees all prostrate themselves, (55:7) and He has raised up the heaven and has set a balance (55:8) that you may not transgress in the balance, (55:9) but weigh things equitably and skimp not in the balance. (55:10) And He has set up the earth for all beings. (55:11) Therein are fruit and palm-trees with their dates in sheaths, (55:12) and a variety of corn with both husk and grain. (55:13) Which of the bounties of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:14) He has created man from dry, rotten clay like the potter's, (55:15) and has created the jinn from the flame of fire. (55:16) Which of the wonders of your Lord's power will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:17) Lord of the two easts and of the two wests is He. (55:18) Which of the powers of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:19) He unleashed the two seas so that they merge together, (55:20) and yet there is a barrier between them which they may not overstep. (55:21) Which of the wonders of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:22) From these seas come forth pearls and coral. (55:23) Which of the wonders of your Lord's power will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:24) His are the ships, towering on the sea like mountains. (55:25) Which of the favours of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:26) All that is on earth will perish, (55:27) only the Person of your Lord, full of majesty and splendour, will endure. (55:28) So which of the wonders of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:29) All in the heavens and the earth entreat Him for their needs; a new, mighty task engages Him each day. (55:30) Which of your Lord's laudable attributes will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:31) O you twain, who are a burden (on the earth), We shall attend to you and call you to account. (55:32) (We shall then see), which of the favours of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:33) O company of jinn and men, if you have the power to go beyond the bounds of the heavens and the earth, go beyond them! Yet you will be unable to go beyond them for that requires infinite power. (55:34) Which of your Lord's powers will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:35) (If you so venture) a flame of fire and smoke shall be lashed at you, which you shall be unable to withstand. (55:36) Which of your Lord's powers will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:37) (What will happen) when the heaven will be split asunder and will become crimson like leather? (55:38) Which of your Lord's powers will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:39) On that Day there will be no need to ask either men or jinn about their sins. (55:40) (We shall see) which of the favours of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:41) The culprits shall be known by their marks, and shall be seized by their forelocks and their feet. (55:42) Which of the powers of your Lord, will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? (55:43) (It will be said): “This is the Hell that the culprits had cried lies to. (55:44) They will keep circling around between Hell and boiling water. (55:45) Which of your Lord's powers will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny?....

(56:1) When the Event will come to pass (56:2) – and then there will be no one to deny its occurrence – (56:3) (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down: (56:4) when the earth will suddenly shake with a terrible shaking, (56:5) and the mountains will crumble (56:6) and will scatter abroad into fine dust. (56:7) You shall then become three groups. (56:8) The People on the Right: and how fortunate will be the People on the Right! (56:9) And the People on the Left: and how miserable will be the People on the Left! (56:10) As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! (56:11) They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), (56:12) in the Gardens of Bliss. (56:13) A throng of the ancients, (56:14) and a few from later times. (56:15) They (will be seated) on gold-encrusted couches, (56:16) reclining on them, arrayed face to face; (56:17) immortal youths shall go about them (56:18) with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, (56:19) a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; (56:20) they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, (56:21) and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire to eat; (56:22) and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, (56:23) beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. (56:24) All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. (56:25) There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. (56:26) All talk will be sound and upright. (56:27) As for the People on the Right, how fortunate shall be the people on the Right! (56:28) They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, (56:29) and flower-clad acacias, (56:30) and extended shade, (56:31) and gushing water, (56:32) and abundant fruit, (56:33) never-ending and unforbidden.

(57:1) All that is in the heavens and the earth extols the glory of Allah. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. (57:2) His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over everything. (57:3) He is the First and the Last, and the Manifest and the Hidden, and He has knowledge of everything. (57:4) He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself on the Throne. He knows all that enters the earth and all that comes forth from it, and all that comes down from the heaven and all that goes up to it. He is with you wherever you are. Allah sees all that you do. (57:5) His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Him are all matters referred (for judgement). (57:6) He causes the night to pass into the day, and causes the day to pass into the night, and He fully knows all that is hidden in the breasts of people. (57:7) Believe in Allah and in His Messenger and expend of what He has entrusted to you. A great reward awaits those of you who believe and spend their wealth. (57:8) How is it that you do not believe in Allah when the Messenger calls you to believe in your Lord and although he has taken a covenant from you, if indeed you are believers? (57:9) He it is Who sends down Clear Signs to His servant so as to bring you out from darkness into light. Surely Allah is Most Kind and Most Compassionate to you. (57:10) How is it that you do not expend in the Way of Allah when to Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Those who spent their wealth and took part in fighting before the Victory cannot be equated (with those who spent their wealth and took part in fighting afterwards). They are higher in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. But to each Allah has promised a good reward. Allah is well aware of all that you do.....

Quran Chapter 58: Surah Al-Mujadila (The Pleading Woman) English Translation Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

(58:1) Allah has surely heard the words of her who contends with you concerning her husband and complains to Allah. Allah hears what both of you say. Verily Allah is All- Hearing, All-Seeing. (58:2) Those among you who divorce their wives by declaring them to be their mothers, such are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave birth to them. Indeed what they say is highly contemptible and false. Verily Allah is Most Pardoning, Most Forgiving. (58:3) Those who declare their wives to be their mothers and thereafter go back on what they have said shall free a slave before they may touch each other. That is what you are exhorted to do. Allah is fully aware of all your deeds. (58:4) And he who does not find a slave (to free), shall fast for two months consecutively before they may touch each other; and he who is unable to do so shall feed sixty needy people. All this is in order that you may truly believe in Allah and His Messenger. These are the bounds set by Allah; and a grievous chastisement awaits the unbelievers. (58:5) Verily those who oppose Allah and His Messenger shall be brought low even as those before them were brought low. Surely We have sent down Clear Signs; and a humiliating chastisement awaits the unbelievers; (58:6) a chastisement that shall come upon them on the Day when Allah will raise them all to a new life and will inform them of their deeds. Allah has recorded it all while they have forgotten it. Allah is a witness over everything. (58:7) Are you not aware that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth? Never is there any whispering among three but He is their fourth; nor among five but He is their sixth; nor fewer nor more but He is with them wherever they may be. And then He will tell them on the Day of Judgement all that they have done. Surely Allah knows everything. (58:8) Have you not seen those who were forbidden to whisper and yet they engaged in what they had been forbidden? They secretly converse among themselves concerning sin and transgression and disobedience to the Messenger. And when they come to you, they greet you in a manner that Allah does not greet you, and say to themselves: “Why does Allah not chastise us for these utterances of ours?” Hell it is that shall suffice them, and in it will they burn. How woeful is their destination! (58:9) Believers, when you converse in secrecy, let that not be concerning sin and transgression and disobedience to the Messenger; rather, converse concerning virtue and piety. And fear Allah to Whom all of you shall be mustered. (58:10) Whispering is an act of Satan, one that aims at causing grief to the believers; yet without Allah's leave no harm can be caused to them. So in Allah should the believers put all their trust. (58:11) Believers, when you are told: “Make room for one another in your assemblies,” then make room; Allah will bestow amplitude on you. And when it is said: “Rise up,” then rise up; Allah will raise to high ranks those of you who believe and are endowed with knowledge. Allah is well aware of all that you do. (58:12) Believers, when you come to the Messenger for private consultation, offer some charity before your consultation with him. That is better for you and more conducive to purity. But if you find nothing to offer in charity, then know that Allah is Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. (58:13) Are you afraid that you will have to offer charity when you hold private conversation with the Prophet? But if you are unable to do so and Allah pardons you, then establish Prayer and pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah is well aware of all that you do.....

Quran Chapter 59: Surah Al-Hashr (The Exile) English Translation Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

(59:1) All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth extols Allah's Glory: He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. (59:2) He it is Who in the first assault drove forth the People of the Book that disbelieved from their homes at the first gathering of forces. You did not believe that they would leave; while they too thought that their fortresses would defend them against Allah. Then Allah came upon them from whence they did not even imagine, casting such terror into their hearts that they destroyed their homes by their own hands and their destruction was also caused by the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson from this, O you who have perceptive eyes! (59:3) If Allah had not decreed banishment for them, He would certainly have chastised them in this world. As for the Hereafter, the chastisement of the Fire awaits them. (59:4) That is because they set themselves against Allah and His Messenger; and whoever sets himself against Allah should know that Allah is surely Most Stern in retribution. (59:5) The palm-trees that you cut down or those that you left standing on their roots, it was by Allah's leave that you did so. (Allah granted you this leave) in order that He might humiliate the evil-doers. (59:6) Whatever Allah has taken away from them and bestowed (as spoils) on His Messenger for which you spurred neither horses nor camels; but Allah grants authority to His Messengers over whomsoever He pleases. Allah has power over everything. (59:7) Whatever (from the possessions of the towns people) Allah has bestowed on His Messenger belongs to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to his kinsfolk, and to the orphans, and to the needy, and to the wayfarer so that it may not merely circulate between the rich among you. So accept whatever the Messenger gives you, and refrain from whatever he forbids you. And fear Allah: verily Allah is Most Stern in retribution. (59:8) It also belongs to the poor Emigrants who have been driven out of their homes and their possessions, those who seek Allah's favour and good pleasure and help Allah and His Messenger. Such are the truthful ones. (59:9) It also belongs to those who were already settled in this abode (of Hijrah) having come to faith before the (arrival of the) Muhajirun (Emigrants).They love those who have migrated to them and do not covet what has been given them; they even prefer them above themselves though poverty be their own lot. And whosoever are preserved from their own greed, such are the ones that will prosper. (59:10) (And it also belongs to) those who came after them, and who pray: “Lord, forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and do not put in our hearts any rancour towards those who believe. Lord, You are the Most Tender, the Most Compassionate.” (59:11) Did you not see the hypocrites say to their brethren, the unbelievers among the People of the Book: “If you are banished we too will go with you and will not listen to anyone concerning you; and if war is waged against you, we will come to your aid.” But Allah bears witness that they are liars. (59:12) To be sure, if they are banished, they will not go with them and if war is waged against them, they will not aid them; and even if they provide any aid to them, they will still turn their backs, and thereafter no aid will be forthcoming to them. ......

Show notes

(60:1) Believers, if you have left (your homes and) have come forth to struggle in My Way and to seek My good pleasure, do not make friends with My enemies and your enemies. You befriend them whereas they have spurned the Truth that has come to you; and (such is their enmity that) they expel the Messenger and yourselves for no other reason than that you believe in Allah, your Lord. You send to them messages of friendship in secrecy, although I know well whatever you do, be it secretly or publicly. And whosoever of you does so has indeed strayed far away from the Straight Path. (60:2) If they could overcome you, they would act as your foes and would hurt you by their hands and tongues, and would love to see you become unbelievers. (60:3) On the Day of Resurrection neither your blood-kindred nor your own offspring will avail you. (On that Day) He will separate you. Allah sees all that you do. (60:4) You have a good example in Abraham and his companions: they said to their people: “We totally dissociate ourselves from you, and from the deities that you worship instead of Allah. We renounce you and there has come to be enmity and hatred between us and you until you believe in Allah, the One True God.” (But you may not emulate) Abraham's saying to his father: “Certainly I will ask pardon for you, although I have no power over Allah to obtain anything on your behalf.” (And Abraham and his companions prayed): “Our Lord, in You have we put our trust, and to You have we turned, and to You is our ultimate return. (60:5) Our Lord, do not make us a test for the unbelievers, and forgive us, our Lord. Surely You are Most Mighty, Most Wise.” (60:6) Indeed there is a good example for you in them; a good example for anyone who looks forward to Allah and the Last Day. As for him who turns away, Allah is All-Sufficient, Immensely Praiseworthy. ..............
