Verses

Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.

The people of Hijr also denied their Messenger.[80] We gave them Our signs, but they ignored them.[81] They hewed their homes in the mountains for safety.[82] But the mighty blast seized them one morning, and all their labor of building their homes through carving the rocks did not avail them.[83] We have not created the Heavens and the Earth, and all that lies between them but to manifest the Truth.[84] The Hour of Doom is sure to come, so overlook their misbehavior in a gracious manner.[85] Surely your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.[86] 15:[80-86]

We have given you the Seven Verses that are worthy of recitation over and over again (Sürah Al-Fãtiha) and the Glorious Qur’an.[87] Do not look at the worldly wealth which We have given to different people among them, nor grieve at their condition. Leave them alone, attend to the believers in kindness,[88] and tell the unbelievers: “Surely I am only a plain warner.”[89] This warning is like the warning which We sent down to the schismatics,[90] the one who divided their Qur’an into separate parts, believing in some and denying others.[91] So by your Lord! We will question them all[92] about their doings.[93] Therefore, proclaim publicly what you are commanded and turn away from the mushrikïn (those who associate others with Allah).[94] Surely We ourselves will suffice for you against those who scoff;[95] those who place other deities alongside Allah will soon come to know their folly.[96] We know that your heart is distressed by what they say against you.[97] The cure of your heart’s distress is that you should celebrate the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves before Him,[98] and worship your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain (death).[99] 15:[87-99]

Ameen.

This concludes today’s episode of the 17 Verses Podcast. I hope that this selection has helped increase your understanding of the holy Qur’an just a little bit.
