( it ) .

16.62

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ النَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفْرَطُونَ (62)

وَاللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الرِّزْقِ ۚ فَمَا الَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا بِرَادِّي رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ ۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ (71)

And Allah hath favored some of you above others in 
provision . Now those who are more favored will by no 
means hand over their provision to those ( slaves ) whom 
their right hands possess , so that they may be equal 
with them in respect thereof . Is it then the grace of Allah 
that they deny?

16.72

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ (72)

And Allah hath given you wives of your own kind , and hath 
given you , from your wives , sons and grandsons , and hath 
made provision of good things for you . Is it then in vanity 
that they believe and in the grace of Allah that they 
disbelieve?

16.73

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِّنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ (73)

Allah coineth a similitude : ( on the one hand ) a ( mere ) 
chattel slave , who hath control of nothing , and ( on the 
other hand ) one on whom We have bestowed a fair 
provision from Us , and he spendeth thereof secretly and 
openly . Are they equal? Praise be to Allah! But most of 
them know not .

16.76

وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَاهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ (76)

And Allah coineth a similitude Two men , one of them 
dumb , having control of nothing , and he is a burden on his 
owner ; whithersoever be directeth him to go , he bringeth 
no good . Is he equal with one who enjoineth justice and 
followeth a straight path ( of conduct ) ?

16.77

وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَا أَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (77)
Walillahi ghaybu alssamawati waalardi wama amru alssaAAati illa kalamhi albasari aw huwa aqrabu inna Allaha AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

And unto Allah belongeth the Unseen of the heavens and the 
earth , and the matter of the Hour ( of Doom ) is but as a 
winkling of the eye , or it is nearer still . Lo! Allah is Able to 
do all things .

knowing nothing , and gave you hearing and sight and hearts 
that haply ye might give thanks .

hair , caparison and comfort for a while .

And Allah hath given you , of that which He hath created , 
shelter from the sun ; and hath given you places of refuge

own foolhardiness . Thus doth He perfect His favor unto you , 
in order that ye may surrender ( unto Him ) .

Inna Allaha yamuru bialAAadli waalihsani waeetai thee alqurba wayanha AAani alfahshai waalmunkari waalbaghyi yaAAithukum laAAallakum tathakkaroona

Lo! Allah enjoineth justice and kindness , and giving to 
kinsfolk , and forbiddeth lewdness and abomination and 
wickedness . He exhorteth you in order that ye may
take heed .

16.91

وَأَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ إِذَا عَاهَدتُّمْ وَلَا تَنقُضُوا الْأَيْمَانَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ (91)
Waawfoo biAAahdi Allahi itha AAahadtum wala tanqudoo alaymana baAAda tawkeediha waqad jaAAaltumu Allaha AAalaykum kafeelan inna Allaha yaAAlamu ma tafAAaloona

Fulfill the covenant of Allah when ye have covenanted , 
and break not your oaths after the asseveration of them , 
and after ye have made Allah surety over you . Lo! Allah 
knoweth what ye do .

16.92

وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَاثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ ۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ (92)
Wala takoonoo kaallatee naqadat ghazlaha min baAAdi quwwatin ankathan tattakhithoona aymanakum dakhalan baynakum an takoona ommatun hiya arba min ommatin innama yablookumu Allahu bihi walayubayyinanna lakum yawma alqiyamati ma kuntum feehi takhtalifoona

And be not like unto her who unravelleth the thread , 
after she hath made it strong , to thin filaments , 
making your oaths a deceit between you because of 
a nation being more numerous than ( another ) nation . 
Allah only trieth you thereby , and He verily will explain 
to you on the Day of Resurrection that wherein ye 
differed .

16.93

وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ (93)
Walaw shaa Allahu lajaAAalakum ommatan wahidatan walakin yudillu man yashao wayahdee man yashao walatusalunna AAamma kuntum taAAmaloona

Had Allah willed He could have made you ( all ) one nation , 
but He sendeth whom He will astray and guideth whom He 
will , and ye will indeed be asked of what ye used to do .

16.94

وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمٌ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُوا السُّوءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (94)
Wala tattakhithoo aymanakum dakhalan baynakum fatazilla qadamun baAAda thubootiha watathooqoo alssooa bima sadadtum AAan sabeeli Allahi walakum AAathabun AAatheemun

Make not your oaths a deceit between you , lest a foot 
should slip after being firmly planted and ye should taste 
evil forasmuch as ye debarred ( men ) from the way of 
Allah , and yours should be an awful doom .

16.95

وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ (95)
Wala tashtaroo biAAahdi Allahi thamanan qaleelan innama AAinda Allahi huwa khayrun lakum in kuntum taAAlamoona

And purchase not a small gain at the price of Allah ' s 
covenant . Lo! that which Allah hath is better for you , 
if ye did but know .

16.96

مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُ ۖ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ بَاقٍ ۗ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (96)
Ma AAindakum yanfadu wama AAinda Allahi baqin walanajziyanna allatheena sabaroo ajrahum biahsani ma kanoo yaAAmaloona

That which ye have wasteth away , and that which Allah
hath remaineth . And verily We shall pay those who are 
steadfast a recompense in proportion to the best of what 
they used to do .

16.97

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (97)
Man AAamila salihan min thakarin aw ontha wahuwa muminun falanuhyiyannahu hayatan tayyibatan walanajziyannahum ajrahum biahsani ma kanoo yaAAmaloona

Whosoever doeth right , whether male or female , and is a 
believer , him verily We shall quicken with good life , and 
We shall pay them a recompense in proportion to the best 
of what they used to do .

فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ (98)
Faitha qarata alqurana faistaAAith biAllahi mina alshshaytani alrrajeemi

And when thou recitest the quran_en , seek refuge in 
Allah from Satan the outcast .

إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ (99)
Innahu laysa lahu sultanun AAala allatheena amanoo waAAala rabbihim yatawakkaloona

Lo! he hath no power over those who believe and put 
trust in their Lord .

إِنَّمَا سُلْطَانُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِهِ مُشْرِكُونَ (100)
Innama sultanuhu AAala allatheena yatawallawnahu waallatheena hum bihi mushrikoona

His power is only over those who make a friend of him , 
and those who ascribe partners unto Him ( Allah ) .
