Facts

To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, that He may requite those who do evil, in accordance with their deeds, and those who do good with good.

As for those who avoid the greater sins and shameful acts, except minor trespasses, your Lord's forgiveness surely has great amplitude. He is fully knowledgeable of you as He produced you from the earth, and since you were a foetus in your mother's womb. So do not assert your goodness; he is better who takes heed and preserves himself.

Have you seen him who turns his back,

Who gives but little, and is niggardly?

Has he knowledge of the Unknown that he perceives everything?

Has he not heard what is contained in the Book of Moses,

And of Abraham who fulfilled his trust? --

That no one who carries a burden bears another's load;

That a man receives but only that for which he strives;

That his endeavours will be judged,

And only then will he receive his recompense in full;

And that to your Lord is your returning;

That it is He who makes you happy and morose,

And He who ordains death and life;

That He created pairs, male and female,

From a drop of semen when emitted;

That the second creation is incumbent on Him;

That it is He who makes you rich and contented;

That He is the Lord of Sirius;

That it was He who destroyed the 'Ad of old,

And Thamud, and did not leave them,

Like the people of Noah before them, who were surely oppressors and rebellious;

And He overthrew the Cities of the Plain,

So that they were covered over by what they were covered over.

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny?

He who warns you is one of the warners of old.

What is to come is imminent.

There is no one to unveil it apart from God.

Are you astonished at this news,

And keep laughing and do not weep,

Indulging in pleasantries?

Bow instead in adoration before God and worship Him.
