Summary

The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali… (1920)

Evil indeed is the dwelling-place of the proud.
30 And it is said to those who guard against evil What has your Lord revealed? They say, Good. For those who do good in this world is good. And certainly the abode of the Hereafter is better. And excellent indeed is the abode of those who keep their duty --
31 Gardens of perpetuity which they enter, wherein flow rivers: they have therein what they please. Thus does Allah reward those who keep their duty,
32 Whom the angels cause to die in purity, saying: Peace be to you enter the Garden for what you did.

The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali… (1920)

Will they then believe in falsehood and deny the favour of Allah?
73 And they serve besides Allah that which controls for them no sustenance at all from the heavens and the earth; nor have they any power.
74 So coin not similitudes for Allah. Surely Allah knows and you know not.
75 Allah sets forth a parable: There is a slave, the property of another, controlling naught, and there is one to whom We have granted from Ourselves goodly provisions, so he spends from it secretly and openly. Are the two alike? Praise be to Allah! Nay, most of them know not.

The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali… (1920)

One of them dumb, controlling naught, and he is a burden to his master; wherever he sends him, he brings no good. Is he equal with him who enjoins justice, and he is on the right path?
* * *
77 And Allah's is the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And the matter of the Hour is but as a twinkling of the eye or it is nigher still. Surely Allah is Possessor of power over all things.
