Read Surah Ibrahim

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ بَرَزُوْا لِلّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا فَقَالَ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُا لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ؕ قَالُوْا لَوْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ لَهَدَیْنٰكُمْ ؕ سَوَآءٌ عَلَیْنَاۤ اَجَزِعْنَاۤ اَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَّحِیْصٍ۠۝۲۱

When they will all appear before God together, the weak will say to those who were arrogant: "We were your followers, so can you now save us a little from God´s punishment?" They will say: "If we had been guided by God we would surely have shown you the way. To lament or endure is all the same to us now. No getting away is there for us."

وَ قَالَ الشَّیْطٰنُ لَمَّا قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَ وَعَدْتُّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ؕ وَ مَا كَانَ لِیَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ سُلْطٰنٍ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِیْ ۚ فَلَا تَلُوْمُوْنِیْ وَ لُوْمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ ؕ مَاۤ اَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِیَّ ؕ اِنِّیْ كَفَرْتُ بِمَاۤ اَشْرَكْتُمُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ۝۲۲

When the reckoning is over Satan will say: "The promise that was made to you by God was indeed a true promise; but I went back on the promise I had made, for I had no power over you except to call you; and you responded to my call. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. Neither can I help you nor can you give me help. I disavow your having associated me earlier (with God). The punishment for those who are wicked is painful indeed."

وَ اُدْخِلَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ ؕ تَحِیَّتُهُمْ فِیْهَا سَلٰمٌ۝۲۳

Those who believed and did the right, will be admitted to gardens with rivers flowing by, where they will abide by the leave of their Lord, with ´Peace´ as their salutation.

اَلَمْ تَرَ كَیْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَیِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَیِّبَةٍ اَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَّ فَرْعُهَا فِی السَّمَآءِۙ۝۲۴

Do you not see how God compares a noble act to a healthy tree whose roots are firm and branches in the sky, which yields

تُؤْتِیْۤ اُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِیْنٍۭ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهَا ؕ وَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ۝۲۵

By the leave of its Lord its fruit in all seasons, God presents words of wisdom to men that they might reflect.

وَ مَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِیْثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِیْثَةِ ِ۟اجْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْاَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِنْ قَرَارٍ۝۲۶

An evil act is like a rotten tree torn out of the earth with no (base or) firmness.

یُثَبِّتُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ ۚ وَ یُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۙ۫ وَ یَفْعَلُ اللّٰهُ مَا یَشَآءُ۠۝۲۷

With immutuble words God makes the faithful dauntless in the life of the world and the life to come, but leads the unjust into error, for God does as He pleases.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَی الَّذِیْنَ بَدَّلُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ كُفْرًا وَّ اَحَلُّوْا قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِۙ۝۲۸

Have you not looked at those who repaid God´s favours with ingratitude; who pulled their people down to ruin,

جَهَنَّمَ ۚ یَصْلَوْنَهَا ؕ وَ بِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ۝۲۹

Hell, where they will roast in the fire? And what an evil repository!

وَ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَادًا لِّیُضِلُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖ ؕ قُلْ تَمَتَّعُوْا فَاِنَّ مَصِیْرَكُمْ اِلَی النَّارِ۝۳۰

They have appointed equals of God to mislead people from His path. Tell them: "Enjoy yourselves (so long as you may). In the end you have to go to Hell."
