[b/Israel 17:87] Except the mercy of your Lord; indeed His munificence upon you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) is extremely great. [b/Israel 17:88] Proclaim, "If all mankind and jinns agree to bring an equivalent to the Qur’an, they will not be able to bring its equal - even if they were to help each other." [b/Israel 17:89] And indeed We have illustrated all kinds of examples in the Qur’an for mankind - so most men did not accept, except to be ungrateful. [b/Israel 17:90] And they said, "We will not accept faith in you, until you cause a spring to gush forth from the earth for us." [b/Israel 17:91] "Or you have a garden of date-palms and grapes, and you make gushing rivers to flow in it." [b/Israel 17:92] "Or you cause the sky to fall upon us in pieces like you said - or bring Allah and the angels as Witness." [b/Israel 17:93] "Or you have a house of gold, or you ascend up into heaven; and even then we shall not believe in your ascent unless you send down a book upon us, which we may read"; say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), "Purity is to my Lord - who am I except a human, sent by Allah?" (* These can be done, only when Allah commands.) Section 11 [b/Israel 17:94] And what prevented people from believing when the guidance came to them, except their saying that, "What! Allah has sent a human as a Noble Messenger?"? [b/Israel 17:95] Proclaim, "If there were angels walking peacefully on the earth, We would send down only an angel from heaven, as a Noble Messenger towards them." [b/Israel 17:96] Proclaim, "Allah is Sufficient as Witness
between me and you all; indeed He is Well Aware of, the Beholder of His
bondmen." |
