[Ana`am 6:158] What are they waiting for - except that the angels come to them, or the punishment from your Lord, or one of the signs of your Lord? On the day when the (foretold) sign of your Lord comes, not a single soul who had not earlier accepted faith nor earned any good from its faith, will benefit from accepting faith; say, “Wait - we too are waiting.” [Ana`am 6:159] You (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) have no concern with those who divided their religion and became several groups; their case is only with Allah - He will then inform them of what they used to do. [Ana`am 6:160] For one who brings one good deed, are ten like it; and one who brings an ill-deed will not be repaid but with one like it, and they will not be wronged. [Ana`am 6:161] Say, “Indeed my Lord has guided me to the Straight Path; the right religion, (of) the community of Ibrahim who was free from all falsehood; and was not a polytheist.” [Ana`am 6:162] Say, “Undoubtedly my prayers and my sacrifices, and my living and my dying are all for Allah, the Lord Of The Creation.” [Ana`am 6:163] “He has no partner; this is what I have been commanded, and I am the first Muslim.” [Ana`am 6:164] Say, “Shall I seek a Lord other than Allah, whereas He is Lord of all things?” And whatever a soul earns is itself responsible for it; and no load bearing soul will bear anyone else’s load; then towards your Lord you have to return and He will inform you about the matters you differed. [Ana`am 6:165] And it is He who made you caliphs (viceroys)
in the earth and ranked some of you high above others, in order that He
may test you with what He has bestowed upon you; indeed it does not take
time for your Lord to mete out punishment; and indeed, surely, He is Oft
Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
