Summary

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

I am forbidden to serve those whom you call upon besides Allah, when clear arguments have come to me from my Lord; and I am commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds.
67 He it is Who created you from dust, then from a small life-germ, then from a clot, then He brings you forth as a child, then that you may attain your maturity, then that you may be old; and of you are some who die before and that you may reach an appointed term, and that you may understand.
68 He it is Who gives life and causes death, so when He decrees an affair, He only says to it, Be, and it is.

39 O my people, this life of the world is but a (passing) enjoyment, and the Hereafter, that is the abode to settle.
40 Whoever does evil, he is requited only with the like of it; and whoever does good, whether male or female, and he is a believer, these shall enter the Garden, to be given therein sustenance without measure.
41 And, O my people, how is it that I call you to salvation and you call me to the Fire?
