Read Surah Al-Ahqaf
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
حٰمٓۚ۱
HA MIM.تَنْزِیْلُ الْكِتٰبِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَكِیْمِ۲
The revelation of this Book is from God, the mighty and all-wise.مَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ وَ مَا بَیْنَهُمَاۤ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَ اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی ؕ وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا عَمَّاۤ اُنْذِرُوْا مُعْرِضُوْنَ۳
We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them but with a purpose for an appointed time. Yet the unbelievers turn away from the warning.قُلْ اَرَءَیْتُمْ مَّا تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَرُوْنِیْ مَا ذَا خَلَقُوْا مِنَ الْاَرْضِ اَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ ؕ اِیْتُوْنِیْ بِكِتٰبٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَاۤ اَوْ اَثٰرَةٍ مِّنْ عِلْمٍ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ۴
Say: "Have you thought of those you invoke apart from God? Show me what they have created of the earth, or, do they have a share in the heavens? Bring me an earlier Book than this, or inherited knowledge, if you are truthful."وَ مَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنْ یَّدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَنْ لَّا یَسْتَجِیْبُ لَهٗۤ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَ هُمْ عَنْ دُعَآىِٕهِمْ غٰفِلُوْنَ۵
Who is more astray than he who calls on those, apart from God, who cannot answer their prayers till the Day of Resurrection, and are even unaware of being called.وَ اِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ كَانُوْا لَهُمْ اَعْدَآءً وَّ كَانُوْا بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كٰفِرِیْنَ۶
When all men are gathered together (on that Day) they will become their enemies and deny their worship.وَ اِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ ۙ هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌؕ۷
When Our clear revelations are read out to them, the infidels say of the truth, when it has come to them: "This is pure magic."اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ؕ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَیْتُهٗ فَلَا تَمْلِكُوْنَ لِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْـًٔا ؕ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِیْضُوْنَ فِیْهِ ؕ كَفٰی بِهٖ شَهِیْدًۢا بَیْنِیْ وَ بَیْنَكُمْ ؕ وَ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِیْمُ۸
Do they say: "He has fabricated it?" Tell them: "If I have fabricated it, you have no power to save me from God. He knows what you are busy with concerning this. He is sufficient as witness between you and me; yet He is forgiving, ever-merciful."قُلْ مَا كُنْتُ بِدْعًا مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ وَ مَاۤ اَدْرِیْ مَا یُفْعَلُ بِیْ وَ لَا بِكُمْ ؕ اِنْ اَتَّبِعُ اِلَّا مَا یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیَّ وَ مَاۤ اَنَا اِلَّا نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ۹
Say: "I am not a new Messenger to come, nor do I know what is to be done to me or you. I only follow what is revealed to me. My duty is only to warn you clearly."قُلْ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ كَفَرْتُمْ بِهٖ وَ شَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْۢ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ عَلٰی مِثْلِهٖ فَاٰمَنَ وَ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ۠۱۰
Tell them: "Think (of the consequence) if this is from God and you deny it when a witness from the people of Israel had testified to the like of it and come to believe, while you spurn it?" Assuredly God does not guide a wicked people.
