Summary

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

In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1 Their reckoning draws nigh to men, and they turn away in heedlessness.
2 There comes not to them a new Reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport,
3 Their hearts trifling. And they -- the wrongdoers -- counsel in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; will you then yield to enchantment while you see?
4 He said: My Lord knows (every) utterance in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.
5 Nay, say they: Medleys of dreams! nay, he has forged it! nay, he is a poet!

So glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, being above what they describe!
23 He cannot be questioned as to what He does, and they will be questioned.
24 Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say Bring your proof. This is the reminder of those with me and the reminder of those before me. Nay, most of them know not the Truth, so they turn away.

Who guards you by night and by day from the Beneficent? Nay, they turn away at the mention of their Lord.
