The Majestic Quran

155 And this too is a blessed book that We have sent down, so follow it and be mindful, so that you might be treated kindly by God . 156 This is just in case you should say, “The Book was only sent to two groups before us, and we were unaware of what they had been taught,” 157 or you say, “If only the Book had been revealed to us, then we would have been better guided than them.” Now clear evidence has come to you from your Lord, along with guidance and kindness. Who then does greater wrong than the one who denies God’s signs and turns away from them? We will award those who turn away from Our signs the worst of punishments because of what they used to do. 158 Is this what they are waiting for: that angels should come to them, or your Lord, or some signs of your Lord? On the day when some of your Lord’s signs come, there a person’s faith will be of no benefit unless it already believed, or had earned some good because of faith. Say: “Wait and see , for we too are waiting.” S 159 You have nothing to do with those who divided their religion and made sects; their case rests with God, and He will inform them about what they did. 160 Whoever on Judgement Day produces a good deed will have the reward of ten like it, and whoever produces an evil deed will be awarded just one like it; and they will not be wronged in the least . F G 161 Say: “My Lord has guided me on a straight path, an upright religion, tending naturally towards Abraham’s way of worship, he wasn’t an idolater.” 162 Say: “My prayers, my sacrifices, my life, my death; are for God, Lord of all the realms; 163 He has no partners. That’s what I have been ordered to do, and I am the first to surrender to Him .” 164 Say: “How can I long for a lord other than God, when He is Lord of everything? No person earns anything except towards its own account, and no one will bear the burden of another; then to your Lord shall you return, and He will inform you about whatever you differed over.” 165 He made you representatives on Earth, raising some of you over others in rank in order to test you with what He has given you. Your Lord is swift to punish but always Forgiving, Kind.
