[Saba 34:23] And intercession does not benefit before Him, except for one whom He permits; to the extent that when the fear is removed from their hearts by giving permission, they say to each other, “How splendidly has your Lord spoken!” They say, “All that He has proclaimed is the Truth; and He is the Supreme, the Great.” [Saba 34:24] Proclaim, “Who provides you sustenance from the sky and the earth?” Proclaim, “Allah - and indeed either we or you are upon guidance, or in open error.” [Saba 34:25] Proclaim, “You will not be questioned regarding the sins you assume we have committed, nor will we be questioned regarding your misdeeds.” [Saba 34:26] Say, “Our Lord will bring us all together, and then judge truthfully between us; and He is the Best Judge, the All Knowing.” [Saba 34:27] Say, “(Dare you) Show me those whom you have matched with Him – never! Rather only He is Allah, the Most Honourable, the Wise.” [Saba 34:28] And O dear Prophet, We have not sent you except with a Prophethood that covers the entire mankind, heralding glad tidings and warnings, but most people do not know. (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him – is the Prophet towards all mankind.) [Saba 34:29] And they say, “When will this promise come, if you are truthful? [Saba 34:30] Proclaim “For you is the promise of a Day which you cannot postpone by one moment nor can you advance it.” Section 4 [Saba 34:31] And the disbelievers said, “We shall never
believe in this Qur’an nor in the Books that were before it”; and if only
you see, when the unjust will be brought before their Lord; they will hurl
allegations on one another; those who were subdued will say to those who
were conceited, “If it were not for you, we would have certainly accepted
faith.” |
