[40:8]
Our Lord! And make them enter the Gardens of
[40:9]
And ward off from them ill-deeds; and he from
whom Thou wardest off ill-deeds that day, him verily hast Thou taken into
mercy. That is the supreme triumph.
[40:10]
Lo! (on that day) those who disbelieve are
informed by proclamation: Verily Allah’s abhorrence is more terrible than your
abhorrence one of another, when ye were called unto the faith but did refuse.
[40:11]
They say: Our Lord! Twice hast Thou made us die,
and twice hast Thou made us live. Now we confess our sins. Is there any way to
go out ?
[40:12]
(It is said unto them): This is (your plight)
because, when Allah only was invoked, ye disbelieved, but when some partner was
ascribed to Him ye were believing. But the command belongeth only to Allah, the
Sublime, the Majestic.
[40:13]
He it is Who showeth you His portents, and
sendeth down for you provision from the sky. None payeth heed save him who
turneth (unto Him) repentant.
[40:14]
Therefor (O believers) pray unto Allah, making
religion pure for Him (only), however much the disbelievers be averse -
[40:15]
The Exalter of Ranks, the Lord of the Throne. He
causeth the Spirit of His command upon whom He will of His slaves, that He may
warn of the Day of Meeting,
[40:16]
The day when they come forth, nothing of them
being hidden from Allah. Whose is the Sovereignty this day ? It is Allah’s, the
One, the Almighty.
