[Yusuf 12:104] You do not ask them any fee in return for it; this is not but an advice to the entire world. Section 12 [Yusuf 12:105] And how many signs exist in the heavens and the earth, over which most people pass and remain unaware of them! [Yusuf 12:106] And most of them are such that they do not believe in Allah except while ascribing partners (to Him)! [Yusuf 12:107] Do they remain complacent over Allah’s punishment coming and surrounding them, or the Last Day coming suddenly upon them whilst they are unaware? [Yusuf 12:108] Proclaim, "This is my path - I call towards Allah; I, and whoever follows me, are upon perception; and Purity is to Allah - and I am not of the polytheists." [Yusuf 12:109] And all the Noble Messengers We sent before you, were exclusively men - towards whom We sent the divine revelations, and were dwellers of townships; so have not these people travelled in the land and seen what sort of fate befell those before them? And undoubtedly the abode of the Hereafter is better for the pious; so do you not have sense? [Yusuf 12:110] To the extent that when the Noble Messengers lost hope from the visible means, and the people thought that they had spoken wrongly, Our help came to them - therefore whoever We willed was saved; and Our punishment is never averted from the guilty. [Yusuf 12:111] Indeed in their tidings is enlightenment
for the men of understanding; this (the Qur’an) is not some made
up story but a confirmation of the Books before it, and a detailed explanation
of all things, and a guidance and a mercy for the Muslims. |
