Verses
Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.If every person that has done injustice possessed all that the earth contains, he would be willing to offer it all in ransom to redeem himself if he could. They will regret in their hearts when they see the punishment of Hell. The decision between them will be made with justice and no wrong will be done to them.[54] Be aware! All that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Be aware! The promise of Allah is true, yet most of them do not know.[55] He is the One Who gives life and causes death, and to Him you shall all return.[56] 10:[54-56]
O mankind! There has come to you an instruction from your Messenger, a cure for whatever (disease) is in your hearts, a guidance and a blessing for the true believers.[57] Say: “It is the grace and mercy of Allah (that He has sent this Qur’an), so let the people rejoice over it, for it is better than (the worldly riches) they are collecting.”[58] O Prophet, ask them: “Have you ever considered that out of the sustenance which Allah has given you, you yourselves have made some things Halãl (lawful) and others Harãm (unlawful)? Ask them: “Did Allah permit you to do so, or do you ascribe a false thing to Allah?”[59] What treatment do they think those people will get, who ascribe false things to Allah, on the Day of Resurrection? Indeed Allah is full of grace to mankind, but most of them are not grateful.[60] 10:[57-60]
No matter what affairs you may be engaged in, what portion from the Qur’an you may be reciting and whatever deeds you may be doing, We are a Witnesses thereof when you are deeply occupied with it: for there is not even an iota of anything in the earth or in the heaven that is hidden from your Rabb, neither anything smaller than that nor larger, but is recorded in a Glorious Book.[61] Be aware! The friend of Allah has nothing to fear or to regret.[62] Those who believe and (constantly) guard against evil,[63] for them there is good news in this life and in the hereafter – Allah’s Words do not change – this is indeed the mighty achievement.[64] O Prophet, let not their remarks grieve you: surely all honor belongs to Allah: He hears all and knows all.[65] 10:[61-65]
Be aware! Indeed whatever is in the Heavens and in the Earth belongs to Allah. Those who invoke other deities besides Allah follow nothing but conjectures and preach nothing but falsehood.[66] He is the One Who has made the night for you to rest therein and the day so that you can see. Indeed, there are signs in this for those who listen to His message.[67] They (Jews and Christians) say: “Allah has begotten a son!” Glory be to Him! He is self-sufficient! His is all that is in the Heavens and in the Earth! Have you any proof for what you say? Would you ascribe to Allah something about which you have no knowledge?[68] O Prophet, tell them: “Those who ascribe false things to Allah will never prosper.”[69] Well, they may have a little enjoyment in this world, but eventually they have to return to Us and then We will make them taste the severest punishment for their unbelief.[70] 10:[66-70]
Ameen.
