The Majestic Quran

S G ’ 2 This Majestic Book is revealed by God, the Almighty, the Wise. 3 There are plenty of signs for the believers in the Heavens and the Earth; 4 and in your creation and the way creatures have been dispersed around the globe, there are signs for people of firm faith. 5 In the alternation of the night and the day, and the rain which He sends from the sky and the blowing winds, a delivery that brings the dead Earth to life. These are signs for intelligent people, 6 clear signs of God’s creative power; We described them exactly as they are. So what kind of message will they believe in once God has explained His Signs? S G ’ S 7 Woe to every liar and sinner 8 who hears the verses of God recited in front of him, but remains stubbornly arrogant as though he hasn’t heard them. So give him the good news of a painful punishment. 9 When he hears something about Our Scripture he mocks it. They deserve a humiliating punishment. 10 Hell is waiting for them – nothing they did nor those who they took as friends beside God will benefit them – they will have a painful punishment. 11 A painful punishment for those who deny this Quran , a guidance, the Scripture of their Lord. G 12 God laid open the sea for you, so ships sail in it by His command, making it possible for you to seek His bounty and be thankful. 13 As a favour, He has subjected everything for your benefit in the Heavens and the Earth; there are signs for reflective people. 14 Say to the believers: “Pardon those who have no hope of God’s days,” God will reward people for what they earned. 15 Whoever does good deeds will benefit himself and whoever does evil will harm himself. Then, you will be returned to Your Lord. T I 16 We gave the Book, the law, prophethood, and plenty of wealth to the Israelites, and furthermore favoured them over other folks. 17 We gave them clear proofs for the law, and though they had knowledge they still disagreed among themselves, they were jealous of each other. On Judgement Day, Your Lord will make the judgement about their disagreement.
