and causes to die, and He can do everything.

Hidden and He knows everything.
4. It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then
seated Himself upon the Throne befitting to His Dignity. He knows
what
penetrates in the earth and what comes forth from it, and what comes
down from heaven and what ascends into it. And He is with you
wherever
you may be. And Allah is seeing your works.

and spent in the way of Allah, for them is the great reward.

victory. And to all has Allah already promised the reward of the
paradise. And Allah is Aware of your deeds.

before them and on their right. It is being said to them. 'To day

to
muslims, 'look towards us. So that we may take something from your
light,' It will be said to them'. 'Go you back and seek there a
light.

in
which there is a door. The inside of it has mercy and the outside
has
torment.
14. The hypocrites will call the muslims, saying, 'were we not with
you?' They will say, 'why not, you put your souls in temptation and
looked out for the evils of muslims and doubted and your vain
desires
deceived you till the decree of Allah came and the great Deceiver
deceived you regarding the decree of Allah.

the
manifest infidels. Your destination is the Fire. It is your friend,

lean for the remembrance of Allah and for the truth, which has come

them is their reward and their light, and those who disbelieved and
belied Our signs, they are the inmates of Hell.
SECTION: 3
20. Know that the life of the world is not but a sport and amusement
and an adornment and a source of boasting among yourselves and
desiring
multiplication in riches and children against one another It is like
the rain whose vegetation pleased the tillers, then it dried up that
you see it yellow then it was trampled into pieces. And in the
Hereafter, there is severe torment and forgiveness from Allah and
His
pleasure. And the life of the world is nothing but a deceitful
wealth.
21. Go forward towards the forgiveness of your Lord and towards a
paradise of which the breadth is as the width of the heavens and the
earth prepared for those who believed in Allah and His Messenger.
This
is the grace of Allah; He bestows it upon whom so ever He pleases.
And
Allah is the possessor of great grace

but
it is in a Book, before We create it; Undoubtedly, it is easy for

over
what is given to you and Allah loves not any exultant, boastful.

His
Messengers with out seeing surely. Allah is Powerful Dominant

Prophethood
and the Book in their offspring so some of them were guided but most
of
them are disobedient.
27. Then We sent after then. Our other Messengers following in their
footsteps, and We sent following, Isa son of Maryam and bestowed him
the Injil. And We placed tenderness and mercy in the hearts of his
followers. And as for adopting monasticism they invented it into the
religion on their own accord, We prescribed it not for them, yes
this
innovation they created for seeking the pleasure of Allah, but they
observed it not as it was to be observed, so We gave the believers
of
them then reward, but most of them are disobedient.

you a two-fold portion of His mercy and will provide for you a light
wherein you will walk, and will grant you forgiveness. And Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.

may
know that they have no control over the grace of Allah and that the
grace is entirely in the hands of Allah. He gives it to whomsoever
