Then he (Jibrael) delivered the Revelation to the devotee of Allâh (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) whatever Revelation he had to deliver.

مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى

11.             Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa
Whatever eyes saw, the heart did not mix lie in it.

أَفَتُمَارُونَهُ عَلَى مَا يَرَى

12.             Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara
Do you now dispute with him (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) about that thing which he sees by his own eyes?

13.             Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra
And once again he (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) saw him (Jibrael) descending

14.             AAinda sidrati almuntaha
Near lote-tree of the utmost boundary of the heavens (Sidrat-ul-Muntaha)

15.             AAindaha jannatu almawa
Where the Gardens of restfulness (Janna-tul-M’awa) are nearby.

إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى

16.             Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha
At that time, it was covering the lote-tree whatever was covering.

مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَى

17.             Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha
The sight (of Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was neither dazzled (by the excess of light) nor crossed the limits,

18.             Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra
And he (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) saw splendid signs of his Râbb.

Now just tell, have you ever ponder on the reality of the Al-Lât, and the Al-'Uzza (names of two idols),

20.             Wamanata alththalithata alokhra
And the third idol Manât?

أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الْأُنثَى

21.             Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha
Are the sons for you and daughters for Allâh?

تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَى

22.             Tilka ithan qismatun deeza
Then it is a very unjust division!

إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا أَسْمَاء سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْأَنفُسُ وَلَقَدْ جَاءهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ الْهُدَى

23.             In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wama tahwa alanfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda
In fact, they are nothing except a few names which you and your forefathers have named (invented).  Allâh has not sent down any authority for them.  The fact is that the people are only following their own thoughts and assumptions and have become the servants of their own desires.  Whereas guidance has come to them from their Râbb.

أَمْ لِلْإِنسَانِ مَا تَمَنَّى

24.             Am lilinsani ma tamanna

Allâh Alone is the Owner of the Universe and Hereafter.  (R) 5

وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تُغْنِي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَاء وَيَرْضَى

26.             Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda
How many angels are present in the skies, their intercession cannot avail anything until Allâh permits it in favor of such person for whom HE wants to listen any supplication and likes it.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْأُنثَى

27.             Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha
But those people who do not believe in the Hereafter, they associate angels with goddesses’ names,

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئًا

28.             Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan
Whereas they do not have any knowledge of this matter, they are only following assumption, and assumption cannot be substituted for the truth.

فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّى عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

29.             FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya
Therefore, O Prophet (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), whosoever turns away from OUR remembrance, and who does not desire anything else except this worldly life, leave him/her alone--

ذَلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَى

30.             Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada
This is the only scholarly knowledge of these people, your Râbb Alone knows this thing better that who has gone astray from HIS Path and who is on the Straight Path,

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاؤُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى

31.             Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna
And Allâh  is the Owner of all that what is in the earth and in the skies--so that Allâh  recompense the wrong doers for their misdeeds and give good reward to those who have adopted the righteous attitude,

الَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ إِلَّا اللَّمَمَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ فَلَا تُزَكُّوا أَنفُسَكُمْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقَى

32.             Allatheena yajtaniboona kabaira alithmi waalfawahisha illa allamama inna rabbaka wasiAAu almaghfirati huwa aAAlamu bikum ith anshaakum mina alardi waith antum ajinnatun fee butooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakum huwa aAAlamu bimani ittaqa
Those who avoid big sins and open indecencies (Al-Fawâhish), except that they commit some mistakes.  No doubt, your Râbb is very generous in forgiveness.  HE knows you very well since HE created you from the earth and when you were still as fetuses in the wombs of your mothers.  Therefore, do not claim the purity of yourselves; HE knows best who is pious (Al-Muttaqûn).  (R) 6

أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى

33.             Afaraayta allathee tawalla
Then O Prophet (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), have you seen that person who turned away from the Path of Allâh 

وَأَعْطَى قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَى

34.             WaaAAta qaleelan waakda
And stopped after giving a very little?

أَعِندَهُ عِلْمُ الْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَى

35.              aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara
Does he posses the knowledge of unseen that he is seeing the reality?

أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَى

36.             Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa
Has he not received any news of those things which are narrated in the Scripture of Mûsa,

وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى

37.             Waibraheema allathee waffa
And the Scripture of Ibrâhim who fulfilled the right of faithfulness?

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى

38.              Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra
“That no barer of burden will carry the burden of another,

وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَى

39.             Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa
And that there is nothing for a mankind except for which he/she has struggled,

وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَى

40.             Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura
And that soon his/her struggle will be seen

ثُمَّ يُجْزَاهُ الْجَزَاء الْأَوْفَى

41.             Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

يَوْمَ يَقُولُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا انظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ قِيلَ ارْجِعُوا وَرَاءكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوا نُورًا فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍ لَّهُ بَابٌ بَاطِنُهُ فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَظَاهِرُهُ مِن قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُ

13.             Yawma yaqoolu almunafiqoona waalmunafiqatu lillatheena amanoo onthuroona naqtabis min noorikum qeela irjiAAoo waraakum failtamisoo nooran faduriba baynahum bisoorin lahu babun batinuhu feehi alrrahmatu wathahiruhu min qibalihi alAAathabu
That Day the condition of hypocrite men and women will be that they will say to the believers: "Just look toward us so that we may benefit from your light”.  But it will be said to them: "Get back (go away), seek your light from some where else”.  Then a wall will be raised between them in which there will be a gate.  There will be blessing inside that gate and misery outside of it (the gate).

يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْأَمَانِيُّ حَتَّى جَاء أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ

14.             Yunadoonahum alam nakun maAAakum qaloo bala walakinnakum fatantum anfusakum watarabbastum wairtabtum wagharratkumu alamaniyyu hatta jaa amru Allahi wagharrakum biAllahi algharooru
They will cry and say to the believers: "Were we not with you”?  The believers will reply: "Yes, but you led yourselves into temptations, (you) were opportunist (served the time), remained in doubts, and false hopes have been cheating you, until the Command of Allâh came, and till the last moment that chief deceiver (Satan) has been deceiving you about Allâh."

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَلَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مَأْوَاكُمُ النَّارُ هِيَ مَوْلَاكُمْ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ

15.             Faalyawma la yukhathu minkum fidyatun wala mina allatheena kafaroo mawakumu alnnaru hiya mawlakum wabisa almaseeru
Therefore today neither any ransom shall be taken from you and nor from those people who openly committed infidelity (Kufr).  Your destination is the Hell-Fire, that is going to entertain you and this is the worst end-result”.

أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

16.             Alam yani lillatheena amanoo an takhshaAAa quloobuhum lithikri Allahi wama nazala mina alhaqqi wala yakoonoo kaallatheena ootoo alkitaba min qablu fatala AAalayhimu alamadu faqasat quloobuhum wakatheerun minhum fasiqoona
Has not that time yet come for those who brought Faith that their hearts should soften with the remembrance of Allâh and submit to the Truth Revealed by HIM and they should not become like those people whom the Scripture was given before, then the term was prolonged for them so their heart became hardened and today most of them have become criminals (Fâsiqûn)?

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

17.             IAAlamoo anna Allaha yuhyee alarda baAAda mawtiha qad bayyanna lakumu alayati laAAallakum taAAqiloona
Know it very well that Allâh gives life to the earth after its death, WE have shown you plain and clear Signs (Ayât), perhaps you may use commonsense.

إِنَّ الْمُصَّدِّقِينَ وَالْمُصَّدِّقَاتِ وَأَقْرَضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُضَاعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ

18.               Inna almussaddiqeena waalmussaddiqati waaqradoo Allaha qardan hasanan yudaAAafu lahum walahum ajrun kareemun
From among men and women those people who give charity (Sadaqât) and who have given worthy loan to Allâh they shall surly be repaid manifold after increasing it and there is an excellent reward for them.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ وَالشُّهَدَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُمْ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ

19.             Waallatheena amanoo biAllahi warusulihi olaika humu alssiddeeqoona waalshshuhadao AAinda rabbihim lahum ajruhum wanooruhum waallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina olaika ashabu aljaheemi
And those people who have brought Faith in Allâh and HIS Rasools they are the ones who are Truthful (Siddiqûn) and the Martyrs/Witnesses in the Sight of their Râbb, they will have their rewards and their light and those people who have committed infidelity (Kufr) and have denied OUR Revelation (Ayât) they are the dwellers of Hell.  (R) 18

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ

20.             IAAlamoo annama alhayatu alddunya laAAibun walahwun wazeenatun watafakhurun baynakum watakathurun fee alamwali waalawladi kamathali ghaythin aAAjaba alkuffara nabatuhu thumma yaheeju fatarahu musfarran thumma yakoonu hutaman wafee alakhirati AAathabun shadeedun wamaghfiratun mina Allahi waridwanun wama alhayatu alddunya illa mataAAu alghuroori
Know it very well that the life of this world is nothing except that it is a play and pastime and just pomp and tramp and your boasting among yourselves and a struggle to surpass one another in wealth and children.  Its example is such as the cultivator becomes happy seeing the vegetation after rain.  Then the same field ripens and you see it turn yellow.  Then it remains as husk/shell.  Contrary to this the Hereafter is that place where there is a severe torment and Forgiveness from Allâh and HIS Pleasure.  The worldly life is nothing but a deceiving enjoyment (an illusion).

سَابِقُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ السَّمَاء وَالْأَرْضِ أُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَاء وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ

21.             Sabiqoo ila maghfiratin min rabbikum wajannatin AAarduha kaAAardi alssamai waalardi oAAiddat lillatheena amanoo biAllahi warusulihi thalika fadlu Allahi yuteehi man yashao waAllahu thoo alfadli alAAatheemi
Run/compete and try to supercede one another toward forgiveness from your Râbb and towards the Paradise whose vastness is like the vastness of the skies and the earth, which has been made available for those people who have brought Faith in Allâh and HIS Rasools.  This is Blessing of Allâh (HE) bestows to whomever HE pleases, and Allâh is the Owner of Great Bounty.

مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ

22.             Ma asaba min museebatin fee alardi wala fee anfusikum illa fee kitabin min qabli an nabraaha inna thalika AAala Allahi yaseerun
There is no such calamity that befalls on the earth or in your own-selves, which WE have not recorded in the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz), before bringing it into existence.  To do so is very easy for Allâh

لِكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا عَلَى مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا بِمَا آتَاكُمْ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ

23.             Likayla tasaw AAala ma fatakum wala tafrahoo bima atakum waAllahu la yuhibbu kulla mukhtalin fakhoorin
(This all is) So that whatever loss you may suffer, you should not be disheartened and whatever Allâh gives; you should not boast on it.  Allâh does not like such people who are arrogant and boastful (prideful boasters),

الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ

24.             Allatheena yabkhaloona wayamuroona alnnasa bialbukhli waman yatawalla fainna Allaha huwa alghaniyyu alhameedu
Who are misers themselves and induce others to become miser.  Now if someone goes astray (away) then Allâh is Free of all needs and All Praiseworthy.

لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَنزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْمِيزَانَ لِيَقُومَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْطِ وَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ وَرُسُلَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ

25.             Laqad arsalna rusulana bialbayyinati waanzalna maAAahumu alkitaba waalmeezana liyaqooma alnnasu bialqisti waanzalna alhadeeda feehi basun shadeedun wamanafiAAu lilnnasi waliyaAAlama Allahu man yansuruhu warusulahu bialghaybi inna Allaha qawiyyun AAazeezun
WE sent OUR Rasools with clear Signs and plain Guidance, and sent down with them the Book and the Criterion (Balance) so that people should establish (remain on) justice, and sent down iron which has great strength and there are benefits for the people.  This has been done so, that Allâh may know who is going to help HIM and HIS Rasools without seeing HIM.  Certainly, Allâh is Omnipotent and All Mighty.  (R) 19

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَابَ فَمِنْهُم مُّهْتَدٍ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

26.             Walaqad arsalna noohan waibraheema wajaAAalna fee thurriyyatihima alnnubuwwata waalkitaba faminhum muhtadin wakatheerun minhum fasiqoona
WE sent Nûh and Ibrahîm and placed Prophethood and Book in their progeny.  Then among their offspring some embraced guidance and most of them became disobedient (Fâsiqûn)

ثُمَّ قَفَّيْنَا عَلَى آثَارِهِم بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيْنَا بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْإِنجِيلَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ رَأْفَةً وَرَحْمَةً وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا ابْتِغَاء رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا فَآتَيْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

27.             Thumma qaffayna AAala atharihim birusulina waqaffayna biAAeesa ibni maryama waataynahu alinjeela wajaAAalna fee quloobi allatheena ittabaAAoohu rafatan warahmatan warahbaniyyatan ibtadaAAooha ma katabnaha AAalayhim illa ibtighaa ridwani Allahi fama raAAawha haqqa riAAayatiha faatayna allatheena amanoo minhum ajrahum wakatheerun minhum fasiqoona
After them WE continuously sent OUR Rasools, and after all of them (WE) appointed 'Iesa the son of Maryam and gave him the Injeel, and WE ordained compassion and mercy in the hearts of those people who followed him.  And they themselves invented monasticism, WE had not ordained it for them, but they invented this evil/tyranny to seek the pleasure of Allâh and then they did not obey it as it had the right to be obeyed.  Those people from among them who had brought Faith WE gave them their reward, but most of them are disobedient (Fâsiqûn).

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَآمِنُوا بِرَسُولِهِ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِن رَّحْمَتِهِ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ نُورًا تَمْشُونَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

28.             Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ittaqoo Allaha waaminoo birasoolihi yutikum kiflayni min rahmatihi wayajAAal lakum nooran tamshoona bihi wayaghfir lakum waAllahu ghafoorun raheemun
O people who have brought Faith, fear Allâh and bring Faith in HIS Rasool (Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), Allâh will give you double share of HIS Mercy and will give you that brilliance in its light you will walk, and will forgive you your sins, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving and Most Loving.

لِئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ أَلَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِّن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَاء وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ

29.             Lialla yaAAlama ahlu alkitabi alla yaqdiroona AAala shayin min fadli Allahi waanna alfadla biyadi Allahi yuteehi man yashao waAllahu thoo alfadli alAAatheemi
(You should adopt this way) So that the people of the Scripture should know that, they do not have exclusive possession to the Grace of Allâh.  And that the Grace of Allâh is in HIS Own Hands, (HE) bestows on whomsoever HE Pleases, and HE is the Owner of Great Bounty.  (R) 20
