(And if that is what you wish then) go down to any citySurely (there) will be (available) all what you demand.’ Then dishonour and deprivation were brought upon them and they incurred the wrath of Allah because they used to deny the Signs of Allah and kill the Prophets unjustlyThis was also because they used to disobey and would (always) exceed limits." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 64[/INST]Yet you turned back after this (promise and warning)So, had there not been Allah’s Bounty and His Mercy upon you, you would have been wrecked indeed." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 65[/INST]And, (O Jews,) certainly you know well those of you who violated (the injunctions concerning) the Sabbath (Saturday)So We said to them: ‘Be you apes, rejected and despised.’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 67[/INST]And (also recollect the event) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: ‘Verily, Allah enjoins you to sacrifice a cow.’ They said: ‘Do you make a fool of us?’ Musa (Moses) said: ‘I seek the protection of Allah (against) becoming one of the ignorant.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 68[/INST](Then) they said: ‘Pray for us to your Lord that He may make clear to us what kind of cow (that) shall be? (Musa [Moses]) said: ‘Certainly He ordains that the cow is to be neither old nor young (heifer), but in between (fully grown)So now implement what you have been ordered.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 69[/INST]They (again) said: ‘Pray to your Lord for us that He may specify what her colour should be.’ Musa (Moses) said: ‘He says, the cow should be yellow, rich in tone, (so attractive that) it pleases the viewers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 70[/INST](This time) they said: ‘Pray for us to your Lord that He may make clear to us what exact type of cow it is (because) the cow has become doubtful to us, and if Allah so wills, we shall indeed be guided aright." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 71[/INST](Musa [Moses] said,) Allah has ordained: ‘(That is not any inferior cowInstead) it is certainly (a superior) cow, which has been employed neither for ploughing nor for watering the field, a cow in sound health, without any blemish.’ They said: ‘Now you (have) brought the truth.’ So they sacrificed it though they did not look like doing it?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 72[/INST]And when you killed a man then started disputing among yourselves (for its blame), and Allah was to unveil that event which you were concealing." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 73[/INST]Then We commanded: ‘Strike this (dead body) with a piece of this (cow).’ That is how Allah restores the dead to life (or will give life to the dead on the Day of Resurrection,) and shows you His Signs so that you may apply your knowledge and understanding" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 74[/INST]Then (even) after this your hearts hardenedSo (in hardness) they (have become) like stones or even harderFor of stones there are some from which streams burst out; and, certainly, some out of them are such (stones) that split up and water gushes out of them; and indeed there are others of them that fall due to fear of Allah(Alas! Your hearts have not remained even that much soft, tender and feeble) and Allah is not unaware of what you do." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 75[/INST](O Muslims!) Do you expect that they (the Jews) will believe in you whereas amongst them were people of a group who heard the Word of Allah (Taurat [the Torah]) then altered it (themselves) after understanding it, although they knew well (what the Truth was and what they were doing)?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 76[/INST]And (they have reached such state) when they meet the believers they say: ‘We (too) have believed (in Muhammad, blessing and peace be upon him, like you),’ and when they are together in isolation, they say: ‘Do you tell them (the Muslims) that which Allah has unfolded to you (through the Torah in connection with the Prophethood and glory of the last of the Prophets, Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him) so that they may use it in argument against you in the Holy Presence of your Lord? Do you not have (even this much) sense?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 77[/INST]Are they not aware that Allah knows full well all that they hide and all that they show?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 78[/INST]And among them (the Jews, some) are illiterate (as well) who do not know (even the bare minimum about the meaning and connotations of) the Book (except hearsay and false hopes)They know only to recite (the Book) verbally and follow mere speculation and assumption." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 79[/INST]So, a serious disaster awaits those who write the Book with their own hands, then say: ‘This is from Allah,’ just to earn a paltry price against thatSo they will face destruction (owing to the Book) that their hands have written and (for the compensation) that they are earning." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 80[/INST]And they (the Jews also) say: ‘The Fire (of Hell) shall not touch us except for a small number of days.’ (Just) ask (them): ‘Have you obtained (such) a promise from Allah?’ Then He will never violate His promiseOr do you make inadvertently (such an) allegation against Allah which you do not know yourselves.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 81[/INST]Of course he who adopts evil and is encompassed by his sins, it is they who are the inmates of HellThey are its permanent residents." }

So he who does so from amongst you, what can be his punishment but disgrace (and humiliation) in the worldly life and (also) on the Day of Resurrection (such people) will be returned to the most ruthless tormentAnd Allah is not unaware of your deeds." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 86[/INST]It is they who have purchased the worldly life for the HereafterSo neither will their torment be lessened nor will they be helped." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 2 verse 87[/INST]And surely We gave Musa (Moses) the Book (the Torah) and sent (many) Messengers after him in successionAnd We gave ‘Isa, son of Maryam, (Jesus, son of Mary,) as well luminous Signs and strengthened (and supported) him by means of the Holy SpiritBut (what followed is that) whenever a Messenger brought to you (the Commandments) whom your (ill-commanding) selves disliked, you adamantly resisted there and thenYou belied some of them and started killing others." }

We have designed for each one of you a discrete law and an all-embracing way of life. Had Allah so willed, He would have made you all one Umma ([Community] agreeing to the same law).

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 7 verse 165[/INST]Then, when they forgot (all) what they had been advised We delivered those who were engaged in forbidding evil (i.e. performing the duty of preaching don’ts) and seized (the rest of) the people who committed injustice (actively or passively) with a very harsh punishment because they were disobeying." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 7 verse 166[/INST]Then when they defied (the command to give up) what they were prohibited, We commanded them: ‘Be you apes, despised and detested.’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 7 verse 168[/INST]And We divided them into several communities (and scattered) over the earth (i.e. made them undergo Diaspora).

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 9 verse 111[/INST]Surely, Allah has bought from the believers their souls and wealth in return for Paradise for them. (Now) they fight in the way of Allah. So they kill (for the Truth) and are slain (themselves too. Allah has taken) the firm promise as a bountiful obligation on Him in the Torah, the Gospel (the Injil) and the Qur’an. And who is truer to his promise than Allah? So, (believers,) rejoice over your bargain against which you have sold (your souls and wealth). This is but a colossal achievement." }

This is not a human being; he must be some exalted angel (i.e. an embodiment of light descending from the transcendent realm of divinity)!’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 56[/INST]This is how We bestowed upon Yusuf (Joseph) the rule over the land (of Egypt so that) he could live therein wherever he desired. We honour with Our Mercy whom We will and waste not the reward of the pious." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 57[/INST]And certainly the reward of the Hereafter is of greater value for those who believe and tread the path of Godwariness." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 58[/INST](During the days of famine) Yusuf’s (Joseph’s) brothers came (to Egypt to procure grain) and came to him. So Yusuf (Joseph) recognized them, but they could not recognize him." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 59[/INST]And when Yusuf (Joseph) had furnished them with their provisions (supplies and material), he said: ‘Bring me your brother on the father’s side (Benjamin). Do you not see (how) full I measure and I am the best host (too)?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 60[/INST]So if you do not bring him to me, then (in future) there will not be any measure (of grain) with me for you, nor will you be able to approach me.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 61[/INST]They said: ‘We will solicit his father in connection with sending him and we will certainly do (it).’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 63[/INST]So when they returned to their father they said: ‘O our father, (further provision of) grain for us has been banned (except that Benjamin accompanies us.) So send our brother (Benjamin) with us (in order that) we may fetch (more) grain, and we shall certainly be his guards.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 64[/INST]Ya‘qub (Jacob) said: ‘Shall I trust you with him (as well) the same way as before this I trusted you with his brother (Yusuf - Joseph)? Then Allah alone is the Best Protector, and He alone is the Most Merciful of all the merciful.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 65[/INST]When they opened their packs, (therein) they found their money (which) had been returned to them. They said: ‘O our respectable father, what else do we want? Here is our money (too) that has been returned to us, and we shall (now be obliged to) fetch grain for our family. And we shall take good care of our brother, and will bring the load of a camel in addition. This grain (that we have already brought) is a small quantity.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 66[/INST]Ya‘qub (Jacob) said: ‘I shall not send him with you at all until you give me a firm promise by swearing a solemn oath by Allah that you shall certainly bring him (back) to me unless you (all) are beset (somewhere or slain).

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 68[/INST]And when they entered Egypt in compliance with what their father had commanded, that command could not save them from Allah’s (Decree) but it was Ya‘qub’s (Jacob’s) heartfelt desire which he fulfilled and (also take not this desire or strategy as meaningless — for you know it not). Surely Ya‘qub (Jacob) possessed knowledge as We had blessed with (special) knowledge but most people do not know (these realities)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 69[/INST]And when they came to Yusuf (Joseph), he offered his brother (Benjamin) a seat close to him (and) said (to him quietly): ‘Verily I am your brother (Yusuf [Joseph]) so feel not aggrieved at what they have been doing.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 70[/INST]So when (Yusuf [Joseph]) had provided them with their material, he placed (the King’s) goblet into his brother’s (Benjamin’s) sack. Later a herald called out: ‘O you men of caravan, (halt;) surely you (seem to be) thieves.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 71[/INST]They turned towards them and said: ‘What have you found missing?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 72[/INST]They (the servants of the King’s court) said: ‘We are missing the royal goblet and the man who brings it (after searching) will get a camel’s load of grain as reward and I pledge myself for it.’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 75[/INST]They said: ‘Its penalty will be that the one from whose sack (the goblet) is found, he himself will be its penalty (i.e. he should be held in retribution). That is how We punish the wrongdoers.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 76[/INST]So Yusuf (Joseph) began to search their sacks before his brother’s. Then (at last) he took (the goblet) out of his (real) brother’s (Benjamin’s) sack. That is how We revealed to Yusuf (Joseph) the plan. He could not have held his brother (as a captive) under the law of the King (of Egypt) except (as) Allah wills. We exalt in ranks whom We like. And above every possessor of knowledge is (also) One possessing greater knowledge." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 77[/INST]They said: ‘If he has committed theft (then nothing to wonder at). Indeed his brother (Yusuf [Joseph]) has also committed theft before.

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 80[/INST]So, when they lost hope about Yusuf (Joseph), they counselled (among themselves) in isolation.

So I shall not leave this land at all until my father accords me permission or Allah gives some judgment in my case and He is the Best of those who judge." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 81[/INST]Go you back to your father and say: O our father, your son has surely committed theft (and consequently he has been held). And we bore witness only to what we knew. And we were no guardians of the unseen." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 83[/INST]Ya‘qub (Jacob) said: ‘(It is not so.) In fact your (ill-commanding) selves have made this affair attractive for you. Now (only) patienceis the finest (option). It is likely that Allah brings to me all of them. He is indeed All-Knowing, Most Wise.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 84[/INST]Ya‘qub (Jacob) then turned his face away from them and said: ‘Alas! (My dear son) Yusuf (Joseph’s unbearable separation)!’ And his eyes had gone white with grief. And he was suppressing his sorrow." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 85[/INST]They said: ‘By Allah, you will continue remembering Yusuf ([Joseph] alone) till you get near death or pass away.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 86[/INST]He said: ‘I bewail my worry and grief to Allah alone, and I know from Allah what you do not know." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 87[/INST]O my sons, go and fetch me some news about Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother (from somewhere) and despair not of Allah’s Mercy, for indeed only those despair of Allah’s Mercy who reject faith.’" }

Indeed Allah rewards those who give away charity plentiously.’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 95[/INST]They said: ‘By Allah, you are certainly in the (same) ecstasy of your (old) love.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 12 verse 96[/INST]But when the bearer of the glad tidings arrived, and he cast that shirt over Ya‘qub (Jacob’s) face, his sight returned the same moment. Ya‘qub (Jacob) said: ‘Did I not say to you that I know from Allah what you do not know?’" }

(To most of the commentators it took forty years.) And my Lord has surely proved it true.

Then Allah removes those doubts from the minds of the people which Satan puts (into the minds of the listeners). And then Allah firmly establishes His Verses (in the hearts of the believers). And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." }

No doubt, Allah does guide the believers to the straight path." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 23[/INST]And surely We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people. He said: ‘O people, always worship Allah. There is no God for you other than He. So do you not fear?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 24[/INST]Then the chiefs (and the lords) of his people who disbelieved said: ‘This man is just a human being like you, (nothing else).’ He seeks to establish (his) superiority and predominance over you.

We have never heard of it from our ancestors (that a human being like us should be appointed as our Messenger)." }

And also do not supplicate Me concerning those who have wronged (by denying and mocking you). They shall (surely) be drowned." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 28[/INST]So when you and the (people) accompanying you get settled in the Ark then say: All praise be to Allah alone, Who has delivered us from the unjust people." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 30[/INST]Surely in this (event) there are (many) Signs and We do certainly make trials." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 31[/INST]Then We raised after them another community." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 33[/INST]And proclaimed the chiefs (and the lords) of his people (too) who disbelieved and rejected the meeting of the Hereafter and whom We had (also) given prosperity (on account of riches and abundant wealth) in worldly life (they said to the people): ‘He is only a human being like you.

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 34[/INST]And if you obey a human being like yourselves, then you shall be the sure losers." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 40[/INST](Allah) said: ‘They will repent in a little while.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 41[/INST]So, according to the true promise, the dreadful Blast seized them and We made them a waste of withered grass. Far distant from and deprived (of Our Mercy) are the unjust and wrongdoing people." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 42[/INST]Later We raised after them other communities (one after the other)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 43[/INST]No community can step ahead of their appointed time, nor can they step back." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 44[/INST]Then We sent Our Messengers one after the other. Whenever there came to a community their Messenger, they rejected him. Then We also destroyed them one after another (by successive torments) and We reduced them to mere tales. So woe to the people who do not believe!" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 45[/INST]Then We sent Musa (Moses) and his brother Harun (Aaron) with Our Signs and an evident authority," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 46[/INST]To Pharaoh and the chiefs (of his people). They too behaved with arrogance and conceit. And they too were (extremely) wrongdoing and disobedient people." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 47[/INST]So they (also) said (the same): ‘Shall we believe in two human beings like ourselves while their people worship us?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 48[/INST]They (also) belied both of them. So they too became of those who were eliminated." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 49[/INST]And indeed We gave Musa (Moses) the Book so that they might take guidance." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 50[/INST]And We made ‘Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary) and his mother Our (Great) Sign. And We provided them a comfortable and facilitated living place on a pleasant, elevated ground fit for living with ease and comfort, and there was flowing water (i.e. streams, waterfalls and springs – a feast) for sight." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 51[/INST]O (My Esteemed) Messengers! Eat of the pure things (as your practice is) and do good deeds with persistence. Surely I am Well Aware of whatever (deed) you do." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 52[/INST]And surely this is your Umma ([Community] which is in fact) but one Umma (Community) and I am your Lord. Therefore, always fear Me." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 53[/INST]But they broke the command of their Din [Religion] into sects by disagreeing among themselves. Each sect is glad with that much (portion of Din [Religion]) which they have." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 54[/INST]So leave them ditched in their ignorance and error for a time." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 55[/INST]Do they think that the help We are giving them (in this world) in the shape of wealth and children," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 56[/INST](Implies that) We are hastening (the provision of) good things to them? (No way!) The truth is that they have no awareness." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 57[/INST]Indeed those who remain restless and tremble with fear of their Lord," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 58[/INST]And those who believe in the Revelations of their Lord," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 59[/INST]And those who do not associate (any) partners with their Lord," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 60[/INST]And those who give away (in the way of Allah as much) as they can, yet (in spite of that) their hearts fear that they are to return to their Lord (lest it should be rejected)," }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 63[/INST]But their hearts are in (utter) negligence of this (message of the Qur’an) and (also) besides that there are many other (evil) deeds which they are doing," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 64[/INST]Until when We seize the rich and the prosperous of them with torment, then they will cry out." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 65[/INST](It will be said to them:) ‘Do not cry today. Surely you shall not be helped by Us.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 66[/INST]Certainly, My Verses were repeatedly recited to you but you used to turn back on your heels." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 67[/INST]Displaying haughtiness and arrogance against it, you used to utter absurdity in the darkness of night." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 68[/INST]So have they not pondered over this Command (of Allah)? Or has there come to them such a thing that did not come to their fathers?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 69[/INST]Or have they not recognized their Messenger and (so) they deny him?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 70[/INST]Or do they say: ‘He (the Prophet) is (afflicted) with mania’? (Nay, not at all;) he has rather brought to them the Truth but most of them do not like the Truth." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 71[/INST]And had the (Holy) Truth (Allah) followed their vain desires then (all) the heavens and the earth and whatever (living and non-living things) are therein, all would have been destroyed. We have rather brought them that (Qur’an) which contains (the secret of) their honour, dignity (and fame). So it is from their own honour that they are turning away." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 72[/INST]Do you demand of them any recompense (for preaching the faith in Messengership? Nay, that too is not the case.) The recompense of your Lord itself is (by far) the best and He is the Best of all sustainers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 73[/INST]And surely you call them to the straight path (for their own good)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 74[/INST]And surely those who do not believe in the Hereafter remain deviated from the (straight) path." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 75[/INST]And if We have mercy on them and remove the distress that has (afflicted) them, they will become hardened in their transgression wandering disorientated." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 76[/INST]And indeed We seized them with torment, but (still) they did not adopt submissiveness to their Lord, nor did they entreat in humility (before His Presence)," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 77[/INST]Until when We open to them the gate of an extremely harsh torment, (then,) at that time, taken aback, they will (stay) therein stunned in despair." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 78[/INST]And He is the One Who (gradually) made for you ears and eyes and hearts (and minds) but you give very little thanks." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 79[/INST]And He is the One Who created and then scattered you in the earth and before Him will you be gathered." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 80[/INST]And He is the One Who gives life and causes death and in His control is (also) the alternation of night and day. So do you not understand?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 81[/INST]But these people (too) utter similar words that the former (disbelievers) used to utter." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 82[/INST]They say: ‘When we die and turn into dust and (decomposed) bones, then shall we be raised up (after given life again)?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 83[/INST]Surely this is what we and our fathers have (also) been promised. These (sayings) are but the tales of the bygone people." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 84[/INST]Say (to them): ‘To whom belongs the earth and everyone (living) in it, if you know (anything)?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 85[/INST]They will promptly say: ‘(All) belongs to Allah.’ (Then) say: ‘Then why do you not accept guidance?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 86[/INST]Ask (them): ‘Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Mighty Throne (i.e. the Sovereign Authority of the entire universe)?’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 89[/INST]They will readily say: ‘That is all Allah’s (Glory).’ So, say: ‘From where then are you being deceived (as if under a spell)?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 90[/INST]The fact is that We have brought them the Truth and they are liars without any doubt." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 91[/INST]Allah has not taken (to Himself) any son, nor is there any god with Him. In that case each god would certainly have taken (away) what he had created and they would surely have dominated each other (and the whole universe would have undergone violence and chaos). Glorified is Allah, above all that they describe." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 92[/INST](He) is the Knower of (all things) hidden and disclosed. So He is Exalted, High above all what they associate with Him." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 93[/INST](Pray:) ‘O my Lord, if You would show me that (torment) which they are being promised," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 94[/INST](Then,) my Lord, put me not among the unjust people.’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 96[/INST]Repel evil in such a way as is best of all. We know best (the things) they say." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 97[/INST]And say, (praying): ‘O my Lord, I seek Your shelter from promptings of satans." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 98[/INST]And, O my Lord, also I seek refuge with You lest they should come to me.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 99[/INST]Until when death comes to anyone of them, (then) he will say: ‘O my Lord, send me back (to the world)," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 100[/INST]So that I may do some righteous works in that (world) which I have left behind.’ No way! He will be saying this (only in despair). And ahead of them is a barrier (erected) till the Day (when) they will be raised up (from the graves)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 101[/INST]Then when the trumpet will be blown neither any relation will remain (intact) among them that Day, nor they will be able to ask of one another." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 102[/INST]So they whose scales will weigh heavy (due to greater number of good deeds) will be successful and prosperous." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 103[/INST]And the ones whose scales will be light (due to little weight of good deeds) it is they who have harmed themselves. They are permanent residents of Hell." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 104[/INST]The Fire will burn their faces and they will be lying in it with teeth bulging out and mouths deformed." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 108[/INST](Allah will) say: ‘Stay on therein with disgrace and do not speak to Me." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 109[/INST]Indeed there was a party of My servants who used to submit (before My Presence): O our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have Mercy on us. And (surely) You are the Best of the merciful." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 110[/INST]But you used to laugh at them till they made you forget My remembrance and you (just) continued making fun of them." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 23 verse 112[/INST](Allah) will say: ‘How many years have you stayed in the earth?’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 27 verse 51[/INST]See then what was the end of their (wicked) plan! Surely We destroyed those (leaders) and their entire people altogether." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 27 verse 52[/INST]So these are their houses lying ruined, for they committed oppression and injustice. No doubt there is a Sign (of Warning) in it for those who have knowledge." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 27 verse 53[/INST]And We delivered those who believed and became Godfearing." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 27 verse 54[/INST]And (recall) Lut (Lot) when he said to his people: ‘Do you commit indecency while you see (as well)?" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 3[/INST](O Esteemed Beloved!) We recite to you from the true account of Musa (Moses) and Pharaoh for those who have believed." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 4[/INST]Certainly Pharaoh had become an arrogant rebel (i.e. a tyrannical despot) in the land and he had divided the citizens of his (state) into (various) sects (and groups). He had oppressed and weakened one of these groups (the population comprising the Children of Israel). He used to kill their sons (to crush their future strength) and let their women live (to increase their number without men and spread immorality and indecency among them). Surely he was one of those who rouse disruption." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 5[/INST]And We wanted to do favour to the people who had been weakened in the land (through oppression, exploitation and deprivation of rights and freedom) and make them leaders (of the oppressed people) and inheritors (of the throne of the kingdom);" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 6[/INST]And to give them governance and power in the land and show Pharaoh and Haman and their armies (the revolution) that they used to fear." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 7[/INST]And We revealed to the heart of the mother of Musa (Moses): ‘Suckle him on, but when you fear (for his life), put him afloat into the river and be not afraid (of this situation) nor grieve. Surely We shall bring him back to you and shall make him one of Our Messengers.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 8[/INST]Then Pharaoh’s family picked him up (from the river) so that (by the will of Allah) he proves for them an enemy and (a cause of) grief. Surely Pharaoh, Haman and their armies were the evildoers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 9[/INST]And the wife of Pharaoh said (on seeing Musa [Moses]): ‘(This child) is coolness of eyes for me and for you; do not kill him. He may perhaps bring us benefit or we may adopt him as a son.’ And they were unaware (of the outcome of this plan)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 10[/INST]And the heart of Musa’s (Moses’s) mother felt empty (of patience). And she would have nearly disclosed the secret (owing to her impatience), had We not energized her heart with the strength of peace and patience, so that she might remain one of the firm believers (in Allah’s promise)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 11[/INST]And (Musa’s [Moses’s] mother) said to his sister: ‘Follow him (to be aware of him).’ So she watched him from a distance but they were (completely) unaware." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 12[/INST]And We had in advance prohibited him from the feed of wet nurses. So (Musa’s [Moses’s] sister) said: ‘Shall I tell you about a family who will bring up this (child) for you and will (also) be his well-wisher?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 13[/INST]So (this way) We returned Musa (Moses) to his mother so that her eyes might keep cool and so that she might not feel grieved and in order that she might know (with certitude) that Allah’s promise is true but most of the people do not know." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 14[/INST]And when Musa (Moses) reached his maturity and (the age of) moderation and stability, We honoured him with the Command (of Prophethood) and knowledge and wisdom. And that is how We reward the righteous." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 15[/INST]And Musa (Moses) entered the city (in Egypt) at a time when its people were lying (asleep) unaware. There he found two men fighting with each other, one from his (own) party (the Children of Israel) and the other from his enemies (the people of Pharaoh). The man from his own party asked him for help against the other who was from his enemies. So Musa (Moses) struck him with his fist and killed him. (Then) he said: ‘This is Satan’s work (which I have committed); no doubt he is an open misleading enemy.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 16[/INST](Musa - Moses) submitted: ‘O my Lord, no doubt I have wronged my soul; so bless me with forgiveness.’ Then He forgave him. Surely He is the Most Forgiving, Ever-Merciful." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 17[/INST](Moreover) he submitted: ‘O my Lord, because of Your favour (of forgiveness) You have blessed me with, I shall never be a helper of the wrongdoers.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 18[/INST]So Musa (Moses), anxious and afraid, kept waiting till morning (to discover what would happen next). Then suddenly the man who sought his help the day before was crying out to him for help (again). Musa (Moses) said to him: ‘Surely you are the one who has truly lost the right path.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 19[/INST]Then, when Musa (Moses) decided to catch hold of the person who was an enemy to both of them, he exclaimed: ‘O Musa (Moses), do you want to kill me (too) as you killed a man the day before? You intend only to become a tyrant in the land and you do not desire to become one of the reformers.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 20[/INST]And a man came running from the far end of the city and said: ‘O Musa (Moses), the chiefs (of the people of Pharaoh) are counselling about you to kill you, so depart (from here). Surely I am of your well-wishers.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 21[/INST]So Musa (Moses), afraid and waiting for (Allah’s help), went off from there. He prayed: ‘O my Lord, deliver me from the oppressing people.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 22[/INST]And when he moved towards Madyan, he said: ‘I hope my Lord will show me the straight path (to take me to the desired destination).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 23[/INST]And when he arrived at the watering (well) of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering (their flocks). And on a side he saw two women, withdrawn, holding back (their goats. Musa [Moses]) asked: ‘Why are you (standing) in this condition?’ Both said: ‘We cannot water (our goats) till the shepherds take back their flocks and our father is an aged man.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 24[/INST]So he watered their (flocks) and then turned back to the shade and submitted: ‘O Lord, I am in need of whatever good You may send down to me.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 25[/INST]Then (after a while) one of those two (girls) came to him walking modestly. She said: ‘My father invites you so that he may reward you for (your labour in) watering (the flocks) for us. So when Musa (Moses) came to (Shu‘aib, the father of those girls,) and narrated to him (the preceding) incidents, he said: ‘Do not fear. You are safe and secure from the oppressive people.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 26[/INST]One of those (girls) said: ‘O (my) respectable father, take him (into your service). Surely the best person you can employ is the one who is strong and trustworthy (and he is worthy of this assignment).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 27[/INST]He said (to Musa - Moses): ‘I intend to marry to you one of my two daughters by (the dower) that you serve me on hire for eight years but if you complete ten (years), it will be (a favour) from you. And I do not want to make it hard for you. If Allah wills you will find me of the pious.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 28[/INST]Musa (Moses) said: ‘This (agreement) is (settled) between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete, I will not be forced. And Allah is the Custodian over what we say.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 29[/INST]So when Musa (Moses) completed the appointed term and set out with his wife, he saw a fire in the direction of Tur. (That was a flash of Absolute Beauty which caught his heart and fascinated him.) He said to his wife: ‘Stay (here). I have seen a fire. I may bring you some news (about Him) from that (fire in Whose pursuit I have long been wandering), or (I may bring you) some burning brand from the (febrile) fire so that you (too) may feel the burn.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 30[/INST]When Musa (Moses) reached there, a call was made from the right of (the blessed Tur) valley from a tree (located) in a blessed spot: ‘O Musa (Moses), verily I am Allah, the Sustainer of all the worlds." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 31[/INST]And throw your stick (on the ground).’ So when Musa (Moses) saw it moving fast coiling and curling as if it was a snake, he turned his back, jogged off and did not look behind. (The Voice said:) ‘O Musa (Moses), come forth and do not fear. Surely you are of the secure." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 32[/INST]Put your hand inside your collar opening. It will come out shining white without any disease. And flex your hand close to your (breast to remove) fear. These two Signs from your Lord are for (sending to) Pharaoh and his courtiers (to observe). Surely they are disobedient people.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 33[/INST]Musa (Moses) submitted: ‘O Lord, I killed one of them, so I fear they will kill me." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 34[/INST]And my brother Harun (Aaron) is more communicative and eloquent in speech than I, so send him with me as a helper that he may bear me out. And I (also) fear that they will reject me.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 35[/INST](Allah) said: ‘We shall strengthen your arm with your brother and shall create for both of you dread and dominance (in the hearts of the people and in the impact of your endeavours). So they will not be able to reach you (to do harm) because of Our Signs. You two and your followers will triumph and prevail.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 36[/INST]So when Musa (Moses) came to them with Our clear and enlightening Signs they said: ‘This is nothing but invented magic; we (never) heard of these things among our ancestors.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 37[/INST]And Musa (Moses) said: ‘My Lord knows best the one who has brought Guidance from Him and (also) the one for whom the House of the Hereafter will be the (best) end. Surely the wrongdoers will not prosper.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 38[/INST]And Pharaoh said: ‘O courtiers, I do not know any god other than me for you. O Haman! Kindle a fire on clay (to bake bricks) for me; then build me a high tower (with them. Climbing it,) I may perhaps have an access to the Lord of Musa (Moses). And I regard him as one of the liars.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 39[/INST]And he (Pharaoh) himself and his warriors were unjust in the land doing arrogance and defiance and thought they would not be brought back to Us." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 40[/INST]So We seized him and his forces (in the torment) and threw them into the sea. Observe then how (terrible) was the end of the tyrants!" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 41[/INST]And We made them the leaders (of the inmates of Hell), for they used to invite (people) towards Hell. And they will not be given any help on the Day of Resurrection." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 42[/INST]And We made a curse to chase them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection (as well) they will be (counted) among the miserable." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 43[/INST]And surely after (this scenario that) We had destroyed the former (defiant) communities, We gave Musa (Moses) the Book which was (a rich source of) vision, guidance and mercy for the people so that they might take advice." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 44[/INST]And you were not (present at that time) on the western side (of Tur) when We sent the Command (of Prophethood) towards Musa (Moses), nor were you among (those seventy people who were) witnesses (to the Revelation to Musa [Moses]. So what else is this narration except the news of the Unseen?)" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 45[/INST]But We raised many generations (successively after Musa [Moses]) and long ages passed over them. Nor were you living among the people of Madyan (like Musa - Moses and Shu‘aib) reciting Our Verses to them. But it is for Us to send (you exalting with tidings of the Unseen)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 46[/INST]And nor were you (present at that time) on the side of Tur when We called out Musa (Moses). But (enlightening you on all these matters of the Unseen) is an (exceptional) Mercy from your Lord so that (having awareness of these incidents) you may warn these people (of the torment of Allah) to whom no Warner has come before you, in order that they may accept admonition." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 47[/INST]And (We would not send any Messenger) if this was not the case that when some suffering should seize them due to their own evil deeds which they did, they would say: ‘O our Lord, why did You not send us any Messenger so that we might follow Your Revelations and become of the believers?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 48[/INST]Then when the Truth came to them from Our Presence, they said: ‘Why has this (Messenger) not been given the (Signs) like those (Signs) which were given to Musa (Moses)?’ Did they not deny those (Signs) which were given to Musa (Moses) before this? They said: ‘Both (the Qur’an as well as the Torah) are magic (which) confirm and agree with each other.’ And they said: ‘We deny all (of them).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 49[/INST]Say: ‘Bring some (other) book from Allah which guides better than these two, (then) I shall follow that if you are truthful (in your blames).’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 51[/INST]In fact We kept sending for them successive commands (of the Qur’an) so that they might take direction and guidance." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 28 verse 54[/INST]It is these people who will be given their reward twice because they remained steadfast and fend off evil with good and they spend in Our Way out of the Bounty We bestowed upon them." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 36 verse 77[/INST]Has man not seen that We have created him from a sperm drop? Even then, he has become an open adversary." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 116[/INST]And We helped them, so it was they who overmastered." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 117[/INST]And We gave both of them the clear and enlightening Book (the Torah)." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 126[/INST]Allah, Who is your Lord and the Lord of your foregoing ancestors (as well)?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 127[/INST]So they (i.e. the people of Ba‘albak) rejected Ilyas (Elias), so they will (also) be brought (to the torment of Hell)," }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 132[/INST]Surely he was of Our servants blessed with (perfect faith)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 133[/INST]And verily Lut (Lot too) was one of the Messengers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 134[/INST]When We delivered him and the whole of his family," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 135[/INST]Except that old woman who was of those who stayed behind;" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 136[/INST]Then We destroyed the others." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 137[/INST]And surely you pass by (their ruined towns while going from Makka to Syria) in the morning," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 138[/INST]And at night as well. Do you not even then understand?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 139[/INST]And Yunus (Jonah too) was indeed one of the Messengers," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 140[/INST]When he ran towards the full boat." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 141[/INST]Then (when it was caught into a whirlpool) they cast lots and (in the draws) he came to be the loser (i.e. his name was drawn and those in the boat threw him into the river)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 142[/INST]Then the fish swallowed him and he was a (self-condemning) repentant." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 143[/INST]Then if he had not been of those who glorify (Allah)," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 144[/INST]He would have stayed in the belly (of the fish) till the Day when people will be resurrected (from the graves)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 145[/INST]Then We cast him onto a wide plain (the beach) while he was sick." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 146[/INST]And We caused a creeping (gourd) plant to grow over him." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 147[/INST]And We sent him towards (the people of Nineveh on the land of Mosul,) a population of a hundred thousand or more." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 148[/INST](Seeing the signs of torment,) they believed. So We granted them prosperity for a time." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 149[/INST]So ask these (disbelievers of Makka): ‘Are there daughters for your Lord and sons for them?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 150[/INST]Did We create the angels as females and were they present (on the occasion)?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 151[/INST]Listen! They assuredly say (this) out of their fabrications," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 152[/INST]That Allah has begotten children and surely they are liars." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 153[/INST]Has He chosen daughters as compared to sons? (The creed of the disbelievers of Makka is being refuted in the language of their logic and mentality.)" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 154[/INST]What is the matter with you? How do you judge?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 155[/INST]Do you not ponder?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 156[/INST]Do you have any clear proof (to establish your philosophy and ideology)?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 157[/INST]Produce your book if you are truthful." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 37 verse 173[/INST]And that essentially it is only Our army that is going to dominate." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 9[/INST]Do they have the treasures of the Mercy of your Lord, Who is Almighty, the Most Benevolent?" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 17[/INST](O My Esteemed Beloved!) Continue observing patience with what they say and remember Our servant Dawud (David), who had great power. Certainly he was ever-turning (to Us in repentance)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 18[/INST]Indeed We put mountains under his command which (joining him) used to glorify Me evening and morning," }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 20[/INST]And We strengthened and stabilized his state and regime, and blessed him with wisdom, insight and a decisive (and distinctive) oratory." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 21[/INST]And has the news of the contenders reached you when they jumped over the wall and entered the chamber of worship (of Dawud [David])?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 22[/INST]When they came inside to Dawud (David), he felt nervous. They said: ‘Do not feel upset. We are two parties in a dispute. One of us has wronged the other.

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 23[/INST]Surely, he is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes and I have only one ewe. Yet he says: ‘Give it (also) to me,’ and he suppresses me in conversation (as well)." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 27[/INST]And We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them without any purpose and good reason.

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 38 verse 28[/INST]Shall We make those who have believed and do constructive works like those who corrupt the earth with destructive works, or shall We make the pious like the wicked?" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 40 verse 83[/INST]So when their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs, they kept rejoicing in the pride of (the worldly) knowledge and skill they possessed. And (in the same state) that torment engulfed them which they used to mock." }

And destruction awaits those who associate partners with Him," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 7[/INST]Those who do not pay Zakat (the Alms-due), and it is they who deny the Hereafter as well." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 8[/INST]Surely those who believe and do righteous works persistently, for them is endless reward." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 9[/INST]Say: ‘Do you deny Him (Allah) Who created the earth in two days (i.e. two time-lengths), and set up peers with Him? He is the One Who is the Lord of all the worlds.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 10[/INST]And He placed over it heavy mountains (brought forth) from within it and treasured in it (His infinite) blessings (minerals, water reservoirs, natural resources, and other substances and forces and energies) and provided and appointed in it sustenance (i.e. necessities of life for all the creatures. He) accomplished (all that) in four days (i.e. four evolutionary periods. All this sustenance is in fact) equal for all seekers (and the needy)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 11[/INST]Then He turned towards the heavenly universe — that was (all) smoke. So He said to it (the heavenly spheres) and the earth: ‘Get in (compliance with Our system) either under the influence of mutual attraction and coordination or under aversion and revulsion.’ Both said: ‘We submit with pleasure.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 12[/INST]Then He made seven heavens in two days (i.e. two phases) and endued every heavenly universe with its (built-in) system. And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps (i.e. stars and planets) and made it secure as well (so that the system of one may not interfere with the other). This is the system programmed by the Lord of Absolute Dominance (and Might), the All-Knowing (Lord)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 13[/INST]Then if they turn away, say: ‘I warn you of that terrible torment like the destruction of ‘Ad and Thamud.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 14[/INST]When the Messengers came to them from their front and from their rear (or before them and after them and said:) ‘Worship none but Allah,’ they said: ‘Had our Lord willed He would have sent down angels. So we deny whatever you have been sent with.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 15[/INST]As for the people of ‘Ad, they were unrightfully arrogant (and rebellious) in the land and said: ‘Who is greater in might than we are?’ And have they not seen that Allah, Who has created them, is far mightier in power than they are? And they kept denying Our Revelations." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 16[/INST]So We sent upon them an appalling violent wind during ill-omened days to make them taste the torment of humiliation in the worldly life and the torment of the Hereafter will be far more degrading. And they will not be helped at all." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 17[/INST]And as for the people of Thamud, We showed them the path of guidance, but they preferred blindness to Guidance. So a blast of humiliating devastation seized them for the deeds that they used to earn." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 19[/INST]And the Day when the enemies of Allah will be gathered and driven to Hell, they will be impeded (shepherded) and driven (forcefully)," }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 21[/INST]Then they will say to their skins: ‘Why did you bear witness against us?’ They will say: ‘Allah, Who gives speech to everything, has enabled us to speak. And He is the One Who created you the first time and you will be returned to Him alone.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 22[/INST](While committing the sin) you did not take any cover even against this (fear) that your ears would bear witness against you and (that) your eyes and (that) your skins (might even bear witness), but you imagined that even Allah did not know many of the deeds that you do." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 23[/INST]And it is this notion that you developed about your Lord which ruined you. So you became of the losers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 24[/INST]Now even if they keep patience, their abode is Hell; and if they seek to earn (Allah’s) pleasure (by turning to Him in repentance), even then they will not be among those who attain to Allah’s pleasure." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 25[/INST]And We appointed for them companions (Satans). So they made (all those deeds) fascinating to them which were in their front and in their rear. And the same command of torment proved true against them that had gone forth against the communities of jinn and mankind that had passed before them. Surely they were the losers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 26[/INST]And the disbelievers say: ‘Do not listen to this Qur’an but make noises in (its recitation sessions) so that you may overwhelm (their recitation from the Qur’an).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 27[/INST]So We will most certainly make the disbelievers taste the severe torment, and will most certainly requite them for the evil deeds which they used to do." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 28[/INST]This Hell is the recompense of the enemies of Allah. There is a home in it for them to live in forever — a requital for their denial of Our Revelations." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 30[/INST]Surely those who say: ‘Our Lord is Allah,’ then stick to it (firmly), angels descend upon them (and say:) ‘Do not fear nor grieve and rejoice in the Paradise that you were promised." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 31[/INST]We are your friends and helpers in the life of this world and in the Hereafter (too). And there is for you every blessing that you long for. And all those things are (available) for you there that you ask for." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 32[/INST](This) is an entertainment from Most Forgiving, Ever-Merciful (Lord).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 33[/INST]And who can be more pleasing in speech than one who calls towards Allah and does pious work and says: ‘Surely I am of the obedient servants (of Allah and the Holy Prophet)’?" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 35[/INST]And this (virtue) is granted only to those who observe patience. And only he acquires this (capability) who is blessed with a large share of Bounty." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 36[/INST]And, (O Believing Servant,) if an evil whisper of Satan stirs your mind seek refuge with Allah; surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 37[/INST]And of His Signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. So prostrate yourselves neither before the sun nor before the moon. But fall down in prostration only before Allah, Who has created them (all) if He is the One Whom you worship." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 38[/INST]Then if they show arrogance (do not care for them). So the angels that are in the Presence of your Lord glorify Him night and day, and never are they tired (and disgruntled)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 41 verse 39[/INST]And of His Signs is also that you (first) see the earth dry (and worthless), but when We rain water on it, it becomes green and fresh and brings forth vegetation.

Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 51 verse 55[/INST]And keep giving direction and guidance, for direction and guidance surely benefits the believers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 51 verse 56[/INST]And I created the jinn and human beings solely to adopt My servitude." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 11[/INST]So on that Day woe to those who belie," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 12[/INST]Those who are playing a game of negligence, rapt in falsehood (absurdity)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 13[/INST]The Day when they will be forcefully pushed towards the Fire of Hell," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 14[/INST](It will be said to them:) ‘This is the Fire of Hell you used to belie." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 15[/INST]So is it magic or do you not see?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 16[/INST]Enter it. Then it is all the same for you whether you observe patience or you do not observe patience. You will be paid only for those deeds which you used to do.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 17[/INST]Surely the Godfearing people will be in the Gardens and Bliss." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 18[/INST]They will be delighted at and rejoicing in the (bestowals) their Lord will have blessed them with. And their Lord will keep them safe from the punishment of Hell." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 20[/INST]They will be reclining (sitting) on couches arranged in rows and We will marry them to maidens with fair colour (and) fascinating eyes." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 21[/INST]And those who believe and their children follow them in faith, We shall unite their children also with them (in the ranks of Paradise even if their actions would not fall in that grade. It would be in the honour of their pious fathers). And We will also not reduce anyway the reward of the actions of their (pious fathers. Besides this,) everyone will be held in (reward and punishment of) his own works." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 22[/INST]And We will keep giving them fruits and meat more and more as they desire." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 23[/INST]There, they will take the cups (of holy drink) by grabbing. This (holy drink of Paradise) will be free of foolish talk and sinful acts." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 24[/INST]And (the serving) youths will go round them, as if they were pearls kept hidden in covers." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 25[/INST]And they will turn to one another enquiring well-being." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 26[/INST]They will say: ‘Surely before this we used to live in fear (of Allah’s torment) in our homes." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 27[/INST]So Allah has been Gracious to favour us and has saved us from the punishment of the Fire of Hell." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 28[/INST]Indeed we used to worship Him alone beforehand. Surely He is Most Gracious, Ever-Merciful.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 29[/INST]So, (O Esteemed Beloved,) continue to admonish (them). By the grace and blessing of your Lord you are neither a soothsayer (i.e. the one who gives news through the jinn) nor a madman." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 30[/INST]Do the disbelievers say: ‘(He is) a poet for whom we look forward to some temporal disasters’?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 31[/INST]Say: ‘Wait on, I am also waiting together with you (for your destruction).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 32[/INST]Do their mental faculties suggest them this (foolishness) or are they rioters and rebels?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 33[/INST]Or do they say: ‘He (the Messenger) has invented it (the Qur’an) himself’? (No indeed;) rather they simply do not believe (in the Truth)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 34[/INST]So let them produce a treatise like this (Qur’an) if they are truthful." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 35[/INST]Have they been created by nothing or are they themselves the creators?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 36[/INST]Or did they create the heavens and the earth themselves? (No indeed;) in fact they do not have any faith (in the Truth)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 37[/INST]Or do they own the treasures of your Lord? Or are they guards and watchmen over them?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 38[/INST]Or do they have any ladder (by which they ascend) and listen stealthily (to the heaven)? So let the listener among them bring the clear proof." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 39[/INST]Are there daughters for Him (the Lord) and sons for you?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 40[/INST]Do you ask them for wages that they are weighed down with debt?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 41[/INST]Do they have (the knowledge of) the unseen that they write down?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 42[/INST]Do they seek to deceive (you) by trick? Those who disbelieve are being caught in their own trap." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 43[/INST]Do they have any god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah, above all what they set up as a partner (with Allah)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 44[/INST]And if they see a fragment of the sky falling (on them, even then) they will say: ‘It is a layered (thick) cloud.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 45[/INST]So leave them (in their plight) till they meet that Day of theirs when they will be destroyed," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 46[/INST]The Day when their plots will be of no use for them, nor will they be helped." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 47[/INST]And for those who are committed to doing wrong, there is a torment for them besides this torment as well but most of them do not know." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 48[/INST]And, (O Esteemed Beloved, do not grieve over what they say). Wait patiently for the Command of your Lord. Surely you are (at all times) before Our eyes. And glorify your Lord with His praise whenever you stand forth." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 52 verse 49[/INST]And also glorify Him during the hours of the night and (in later part of it) when the stars fade out." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53[/INST]The Star" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 1[/INST]By the bright star (Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]) when (he ascended during the Ascension Night in the twinkling of an eye and) descended." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 2[/INST]He who bestowed on you his companionship (i.e. the Messenger, who made you his companions by blessing you with his companionship,) has never lost his way, nor has he (ever) strayed from the right path." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 3[/INST]He does not speak out of his (own) desire." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 18[/INST]Surely he saw the Greatest Signs of His Lord (during the Ascension Night)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 19[/INST]Have you taken a look at (the goddesses) Lat and ‘Uzza?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 20[/INST]And (have you) also (seen thoughtfully) another, that third one (goddess) Manat? (Have you declared them daughters of Allah?)" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 24[/INST]Is (all) that available for man what he longs for`?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 25[/INST]So Allah alone is the Master of the Hereafter and the world." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 27[/INST]Surely those who do not believe in the Hereafter give the angels female names." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 28[/INST]And they know nothing about it. They follow only assumption and surely assumption serves no purpose in comparison with certitude." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 29[/INST]So divert your attention from him who turns away from Our Remembrance and desires nothing but the life of this world." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 53 verse 30[/INST]That is but the limit of the working of their knowledge. Verily your Lord fully knows him who has strayed from His path and (also) knows best him who has attained guidance." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 19[/INST]So a whirl (of disaster) from your Lord went round (that garden during the night) while they were asleep," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 20[/INST]So, that (waving fruit-laden garden) became a harvested field in the morning." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 21[/INST]Then as the day dawned they started calling out one another:" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 23[/INST]So they set off whispering, to one another:" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 25[/INST]And early in the morning they left, (feeling) quite competent to execute their plan (of getting the yield and depriving the poor of their share)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 26[/INST]Then when they saw that (ruined garden), they said: ‘We must have lost our way; (this is not our garden).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 27[/INST](But when they saw it cautiously, they cried: ‘Oh no!) We have been deprived indeed.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 28[/INST]One of them wise and inclined to the balanced judgment said: ‘Did I not say to you: why do you not glorify and remember Allah?’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 29[/INST](Then) they said: ‘Our Lord is Holy. Surely it is we who were the wrongdoers.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 30[/INST]So, blaming and maligning, they turned to one another." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 31[/INST]They said: ‘Woe to us! No doubt it is we who were disobedient and rebellious." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 32[/INST]We hope that our Lord may give us something better than this in exchange. Verily we turn to our Lord.’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 33[/INST]Such is the punishment. And truly the torment of the Hereafter is far greater (than this). Would that they only knew!" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 34[/INST]Surely for the Godfearing there are Gardens of Bliss with their Lord." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 35[/INST]Shall We (deprive) the obedient like the disobedient?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 36[/INST]What is the matter with you? How do you make a judgment?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 37[/INST]Do you have any Book with you in which you read (this)," }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 38[/INST]That it contains all that you like?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 39[/INST]Or have you any (such) firm covenants from Us which will subsist till the Day of Resurrection (by means of which We are bound) that you will be provided with whatever you shall decide (for yourselves)?" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 40[/INST]Ask them which of them will vouch for such (a baseless assertion)!" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 41[/INST]Or do they have any partners (as well)? Then they should bring their partners if they are truthful." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 42[/INST]The Day when the ‘shin’ (i.e. the terrifying fierceness of the Hour of Rising) will be laid bare, and (the disobedient) people will be called to prostrate themselves but they will not be able to do so (i.e. to prostrate themselves)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 43[/INST]Their eyes will be cast down (with terror and shame) and disgrace will be spreading over them whereas they were called to prostrate themselves (in the world also) when they were healthy (but they, even then, refused to fall prostrate)." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 44[/INST]So, (O Esteemed Beloved,) leave Me (to exact revenge) from the one who rejects this Revelation. Now We shall take them (towards disaster) so gradually that they will not perceive it." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 49[/INST]Had the Mercy and Blessing of his Lord not helped him, he would certainly have been thrown in the barren field, blamed. (But Allah saved him from that.)" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 68 verse 51[/INST]And indeed when the disbelievers listen to the Qur’an it seems as if they wish to damage you with their (jealously evil) looks and say: ‘He is insane.’" }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 9[/INST]And Pharaoh and those before him and (the dwellers of) the overthrown towns (of the community of Lut [Lot]) committed grave sins." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 10[/INST]So they (also) disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord. And Allah seized them with a mighty seizure." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 11[/INST]Indeed when water (of the Deluge) overflowed the limit, We carried you in the floating Ark," }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 14[/INST]And the earth and mountains will be removed (from their places), they will then be crushed to sand particles in a single crash." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 15[/INST]Then that will be the Hour when the surely Inevitable (calamity) will occur." }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 19[/INST]So the one who will be given his record in the right hand will say (pleased): ‘Come and read my record." }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 20[/INST]I firmly believed that I would find my account (easy).’" }
{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 21[/INST]So he will live a pleasant life," }

{ "text":"[INST]Chapter 69 verse 33[/INST]Verily he did not believe in Allah, the Lord of Majesty." }
