Read Surah An-Nahl

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

یَوْمَ تَاْتِیْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ عَنْ نَّفْسِهَا وَ تُوَفّٰی كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَ هُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ۝۱۱۱

On the day when every soul will come pleading for itself, and every soul will be recompensed for what it had done, no one will be wronged.

وَ ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا قَرْیَةً كَانَتْ اٰمِنَةً مُّطْمَىِٕنَّةً یَّاْتِیْهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِاَنْعُمِ اللّٰهِ فَاَذَاقَهَا اللّٰهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوْعِ وَ الْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَصْنَعُوْنَ۝۱۱۲

God presents the example of a town which enjoyed peace and security, its provisions coming from everywhere in abundance, but it denied the favours of God; so God acquainted it with intimate hunger and fear (as punishment) for what they had done.

وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَ هُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ۝۱۱۳

An apostle came to them who was one of them, but they called him a liar. Then they were seized by torment for they were sinners.

فَكُلُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا ۪ وَّ اشْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اِیَّاهُ تَعْبُدُوْنَ۝۱۱۴

Eat the good and lawful of things that God has given you, and be grateful for the bounty of God, if you really worship Him.

اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةَ وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِیْرِ وَ مَاۤ اُهِلَّ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِ بِهٖ ۚ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَیْرَ بَاغٍ وَّ لَا عَادٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۝۱۱۵

He has forbidden carrion and blood and the flesh of the swine, and what has been killed in the name of any other but God; but if one is driven by necessity (to eat it) without craving or reverting to it, then God is forgiving and kind.

وَ لَا تَقُوْلُوْا لِمَا تَصِفُ اَلْسِنَتُكُمُ الْكَذِبَ هٰذَا حَلٰلٌ وَّ هٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ ؕ اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَفْتَرُوْنَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا یُفْلِحُوْنَؕ۝۱۱۶

Do not utter the lies your tongues make up: "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," in order to impute lies to God; for they who impute lies to God will not find fulfilment.

مَتَاعٌ قَلِیْلٌ ۪ وَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ۝۱۱۷

For them there is some enjoyment, but the punishment is painful.

وَ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْا حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَیْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۚ وَ مَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ۝۱۱۸

We have already told you what We have forbidden the Jews. We did not wrong them, they wronged themselves.

ثُمَّ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِیْنَ عَمِلُوا السُّوْٓءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ وَ اَصْلَحُوْۤا ۙ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠۝۱۱۹

To those who do wrong out of ignorance, then repent and correct themselves, your Lord is indeed forgiving and kind.

اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ كَانَ اُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلّٰهِ حَنِیْفًا ؕ وَ لَمْ یَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَۙ۝۱۲۰

Abraham was certainly a model of faith, obedient to God and upright, and not one of idolaters,
