Hizb 45 — Quarter 2

Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -

And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.

And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

[Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny."

That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.

Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?

And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat.

And for them therein are [other] benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful?

But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped.

They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.

So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.

Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"

Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."

[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.

His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.

So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.

By those [angels] lined up in rows

And those who drive [the clouds]

And those who recite the message,

Indeed, your God is One,

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

And as protection against every rebellious devil

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].

Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.

But you wonder, while they mock,

And when they are reminded, they remember not.

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

And our forefathers [as well]?"

Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."

[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
