IBRAHIM (PROPHET ABRAHAM) Section 1 Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful [Ibrahim 14:1] Alif-Lam-Ra; it is a Book which We have sent down upon you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) so that you may bring forth people from the realms of darkness into light - by the command of their Lord, towards the path of the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy. [Ibrahim 14:2] Allah - because all that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs only to Him; and woe is for the disbelievers through a severe punishment. [Ibrahim 14:3] To whom the worldly life is dearer than the Hereafter, and who prevent from the way of Allah and wish deviations in it; they are in extreme error. [Ibrahim 14:4] And We sent every Noble Messenger with the same language as his people *, so that he may clearly explain to them; then Allah sends astray whomever He wills, and He guides whomever He wills; and He only is the Most Honourable, the Wise. (* Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him - was taught all the languages as he is sent towards all.) [Ibrahim 14:5] And indeed We sent Moosa along with Our
signs that, "Bring your people from the realms of darkness into light -
and remind them of the days of Allah *; indeed in them are signs for every
greatly enduring, grateful person." (* When various favours were bestowed
- in order to give thanks and be patient.) |
