Section 2 [A/I`mran 3:10] Indeed for those who disbelieve, neither their wealth nor their offspring will help to save them in the least from Allah; and it is they who are fuel for the fire. [A/I`mran 3:11] Like the way of Firaun’s people, and those before them; they denied Our signs; so Allah seized them because of their sins; and Allah’s punishment is severe. [A/I`mran 3:12] Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) to the disbelievers, “Very soon you shall be overcome and driven towards hell; and that is a wretched resting-place.” [A/I`mran 3:13] Indeed there was a sign for you in the two groups that clashed; one army fighting in Allah's cause, against the other of disbelievers, whom they (the Muslims) saw with their eyes, as twice their own number; and Allah strengthens with His help whomever He wills; indeed in this is a lesson for the intelligent, to be learnt by observing. [A/I`mran 3:14] Beautified is for mankind the love of these desires - women, and sons, and heaps of gold and piled up silver, and branded horses, and cattle and fields; this is the wealth of the life of this world; and it is Allah, with Whom is the excellent abode. [A/I`mran 3:15] Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace
and blessings be upon him), “Shall I inform you of something better
than that? For the pious, with their Lord, are Gardens beneath which rivers
flow - they will abide in it forever - and pure wives, and Allah’s pleasure”;
and Allah sees the bondmen. |
