[b/Israel 17:97] And only he whom Allah guides, is upon guidance; and whomever He sends astray - you will therefore not find for them any supporters besides Him; and We shall raise them by their faces on the Day of Resurrection - blind, dumb and deaf; their destination is hell; whenever it is about to extinguish, We will inflame it more for them. [b/Israel 17:98] This is their reward because they disbelieved in Our signs and said, "When we are bones and decomposed, will we really be created again and raised up again?" [b/Israel 17:99] Do they not see that Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth is Able to create people similar to them, and has set a term for them in which there is no doubt? So the unjust do not accept without being ungrateful. [b/Israel 17:100] Proclaim, "If you owned the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, you would hoard them too for fear that they may get spent; and man is a big miser." Section 12 [b/Israel 17:101] And indeed We gave Moosa nine clear signs, therefore ask the Descendants of Israel when he came to them - in response Firaun said, "O Moosa - I think you are under a magic spell." [b/Israel 17:102] He said, "You certainly know that these have not been sent down except by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the eye-openers * for the hearts; and I think that you, O Firaun, will surely be ruined." (* The signs which enlighten the hearts.) [b/Israel 17:103] He therefore wished to expel them from the earth, so We drowned him and his companions, all together. [b/Israel 17:104] And after him, We said to the Descendants
of Israel, "Reside in this land - then when the promise of the Hereafter
comes, We will bring you all huddled together." |
