THE CITY THIS COUNTRYSIDE Holy Quran God Speak

blogart   08:24

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

90:1 I do call to witness this City;-

90:2 And thou art a freeman of this City;-

90:3 And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;-

90:4 Verily We have created man into toil and struggle.

90:5 Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?

90:6 He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance!

90:7 Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

90:8 Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?-

90:9 And a tongue, and a pair of lips?-

90:10 And shown him the two highways?

90:11 But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.

90:12 And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?-

90:13 (It is:) freeing the bondman;

90:14 Or the giving of food in a day of privation

90:15 To the orphan with claims of relationship,

90:16 Or to the indigent (down) in the dust.

90:17 Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion.

90:18 Such are the Companions of the Right Hand.

90:19 But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand.

90:20 On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round).

THE DAWN DAYBREAK Holy Quran God Speak

THE DAWN DAYBREAK Holy Quran God Speak

blogart   08:23

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

89:1 By the break of Day

89:2 By the Nights twice five;

89:3 By the even and odd (contrasted);

89:4 And by the Night when it passeth away;-

89:5 Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?

89:6 Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),-

89:7 Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars,

89:8 The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?

89:9 And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?-

89:10 And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?

89:11 (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,

89:12 And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).

89:13 Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:

89:14 For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower.

89:15 Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."

89:16 But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"

89:17 Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!

89:18 Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!-

89:19 And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,

89:20 And ye love wealth with inordinate love!

89:21 Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,

89:22 And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,

89:23 And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?

89:24 He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"

89:25 For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,

89:26 And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.

89:27 (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!

89:28 "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him!

89:29 "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!

89:30 "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

88:1 Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

88:2 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

88:3 Labouring (hard), weary,-

88:4 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

88:5 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

88:6 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'

88:7 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

88:8 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

88:9 Pleased with their striving,-

88:10 In a Garden on high,

88:11 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

88:12 Therein will be a bubbling spring:

88:13 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

88:14 Goblets placed (ready),

88:15 And cushions set in rows,

88:16 And rich carpets (all) spread out.

88:17 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

88:18 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

88:19 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

88:20 And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

88:21 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

88:22 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

88:23 But if any turn away and reject God,-

88:24 God will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

88:25 For to Us will be their return;

88:26 Then it will be for Us to call them to account.

THE MOST HIGH GLORY TO YOUR LORD IN THE HIGHEST Holy Quran God Speak

THE MOST HIGH GLORY TO YOUR LORD IN THE HIGHEST Holy Quran God Speak

blogart   08:21

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

87:1 Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,

87:2 Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

87:3 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

87:4 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

87:5 And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

87:6 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

87:7 Except as God wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

87:8 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

87:9 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

87:10 The admonition will be received by those who fear (God):

87:11 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

87:12 Who will enter the Great Fire,

87:13 In which they will then neither die nor live.

87:14 But those will prosper who purify themselves,

87:15 And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

87:16 Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

87:17 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

87:18 And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-

87:19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.
