And Our Commandment is but
one, as the twinkling of an eye. (50) And indeed, We have
destroyed your likes, then is there any that will remember (or receive
admonition)? (51) And everything they have done is noted in (their) Records (of
deeds). (52) And everything, small and big, is written down (in Al-Lauh
Al-Mahfûz already beforehand i.e. before it befalls, or is done by its doer: ÇáÅíãÇä
ÈÇáÞÏÑ) (See the Qur’ân V.57:22 and its footnote). (53) Verily, The Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2), will be in the midst
of Gardens and Rivers (
Ar-Rahman
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The Most Gracious (Allâh)! (1) He has taught (you mankind) the Qur'ân
(by His Mercy). (2) He created man. (3) He taught him eloquent speech. (4) The sun and the moon
run on their fixed courses (exactly) calculated with measured out stages for
each (for reckoning). (5) And the herbs (or stars) and the trees both prostrate
themselves. (to Allah. See V.22:18). (Tafsir Ibn Kathir) (6) And the heaven He has
raised it high, and He has set up the Balance. (7) In order that you may
not transgress (due) balance. (8) And observe the weight with equity and do not
make the balance deficient. (9) And the earth He has put down (laid) for the
creatures. (10) Therein are fruits, date-palms producing sheathed fruit-stalks
(enclosing dates). (11) And also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder,
and sweet-scented plants. (12) Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will
you both (jinn and men) deny? (13) He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like
the clay of pottery. (14) And the jinn He created from a smokeless flame of fire. (15) Then which of the
Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (16)
