H. M.
2
I (God) swear by this book which clearly answers man’s most difficult questions [about the purpose of life and Hereafter. ]
3
Qur’an is revealed in a blessed night as God decided to shower man with His blessing.
4
Qur’an answers to those philosophical questions that no one is capable of answering.
5
This book is revealed with God’s command. God (out of His Mercy) sends prophets to people to relay His divine message.
6
This revelation is a proof of God’s Mercy; God is indeed the Most Knowledgeable and hears everything.
7
Have faith that God is the creator of the heavens and earth and anything in the universe.
8
There is no other god but God. He is the one who gives life and takes it away. He is your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors.
9
What a shame that you doubt in the existence of God.
10
Your doubt will certainly be removed, when you see the mass of smoke descending from the heaven.
11
When this painful punishment overtakes man, he will pray saying:….
12
"Our Lord, remove this disaster as we really believe in you!"
13
It will be too late to believe then; God’s Prophet did already warned them.
14
[When there was still the opportunity], they turned away from the Prophet saying: "He is well educated but unfortunately gone crazy!"
15
[The fact of the matter is] Anytime, I postpone the punishment, the disbelievers start rebelling again.
16
The Day that I (God) send the severest quake, will be the Day when I will take the vengeance.
17
In the past, I (God) put the people of Pharaoh to the same test by sending my honorable Prophet (Moses).
18
He (Moses) said: "Listen to me (you the creatures of God); I am an honest messenger of the Lord. "
19
"[Listen to me and obey your Lord. ] Do not rebel against God. I will come up with powerful miracles [to convince you.]
20
If you assault me, I will take refuge in the same God that has Created you and me.
21
If you do not believe me, [for your own sake] do not even think about harming me.
22
Finally Moses gave up and said: "[My Lord] These people are indeed criminals. "
23
God answered Moses saying] "Take my servants [Israelites and non- Israelites believers] out tonight. You will be followed [by Pharaoh]."
24
"Cross the sea quickly and let their army drawn. "
25
What a shame that] they left behind many gardens and springs.
26
Crops and their easy life.
27
And God’s blessing that they were enjoying.
28
All the above God made to be inherited by other people.
29
None cared about their death and they were not given any more opportunity.
30
That is the way that I (God) saved the descendents of Israel from a humiliating persecution from…
31
the Pharaoh who was indeed the most prominent tyrant.
32
Then I (God) gave them superiority over other nations, knowing their defaults.
33
I showed them so many proofs to test their believe [immediately after having seen the greatest proof, i. e., passage through the Red Sea, they worshiped a cow instead of God.]
34
The disbelievers say:…
35
"There is nothing after death and we will not be raised back to life. "
36
[They say:] "Bring our forefathers back to life, if [there is such thing as life after death and if] you are truthful. " [Even then they will not believe as the Jews did not believe in vs. 33].
37
Do these disbelievers think that they are better than the [mighty] people of Tubba [strong rulers of Hyyarites B. C.-A.D.] and the ones before them? I (God) destroyed them as they were guilty.
38
I have not created the heavens and the earth (and whatever between) for fun.
39
There is a higher purpose behind the creation but most people do not understand it.
40
Know that on the Day of Resurrection, everyone will be gathered together.
41
On that Day no one may benefit from any supporter and nobody will be of any help.
42
The only available recourse will be the mercy of God. God is Almighty, the Most Merciful.
43
The Hellish fruit of …
44
the Zaqqum tree will be the food of the sinners…
45
this will burn the stomach the same way…
46
that boiling water burns the stomach.
47
"Catch the sinner and bring him to the…
48
middle of Hell and pour over his head the boiling water. …
49
See what an honorable man [as you were proud of] you are…
50
This is what you were mocking at. "
51
The God loving people will end up in the securest [no disease, no aging, no worry] place:
52
Roaming in the gardens with the springs.
53
Dressed in fine silk cloths.
54
Married to most beautiful women.
55
In absolute peace. Every kind of tasty things at their disposition.
56
They will never be touched by death and God, by His grace will protect them from the Hell.
57
This is the real success.
58
I have made this book easy to understand in Arabic. May you take advantage of it.
59
Wait [to get your share], as the disbelievers are waiting [to get their share] too.
