<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 55[/INST]And your Lord knows them best who (live) in the heavens and the earth. And surely We exalted some Messengers above the others and bestowed the Zabur (Psalms) upon Dawud (David).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 56[/INST]Say: ‘Call all those that you consider (gods) apart from Allah. They do not have the power to remove distress from you, nor (have they the capability) to shift (it to others).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 57[/INST]Those that they worship (i.e. they prepare sculptures and images of angels, jinn, the Prophets ‘Isa [Jesus], Uzair [Ezra] and others and worship them) look for mediation to their Lord (themselves) as to who among them is most intimate (in the Presence of Allah). And (they (themselves) hope for His mercy and fear His torment. (Now say yourselves how they can be gods. They are prostrating themselves before the True God.) Indeed the torment of your Lord is a thing to fear.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 58[/INST]And there is not a community (comprising disbelievers and the denying rebels) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or afflict it with most severe torment. This (decree) is written in the Book (the Protected Tablet [al-Lawh al-Mahfuz]).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 59[/INST]And (nothing) has prevented Us from sending down the Signs (on their demand even now) except that the bygone people denied the same (Signs. Thereupon, they were immediately seized by destruction and were not granted any respite. O Beloved, We do not want to repeat that with your people after We have raised you as Our Messenger.) And We gave the people of Thamud an open Sign (of) a she-camel (of Salih) but they did her wrong. And We do not send Signs but to rouse fear (for the last time before the torment arrives. Then, when that Sign is rejected, the devastating torment is sent forthwith).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 60[/INST]And (recall the time) when We said to you: ‘Indeed your Lord has encompassed (all) mankind (within His knowledge and might). And We have made the vision (on the Night of Ascension) that We showed you but a trial for the people; (the believers believed in it while those having superficial vision got confused;) and also that tree (of Zaqqum) which has been cursed in the Qur’an. And We warn them but this (warning too) does not add anything to them except greater disobedience and rebelliousness.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 61[/INST]And (call to mind the time) when We said to the angels: ‘Fall down in prostration before Adam.’ Then all prostrated themselves except Iblis (Satan). He said: ‘Shall I prostrate myself before him whom You have created of clay.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 62[/INST](And Satan also said:) ‘Tell me, is it he You have exalted over me? (What is its reason after all?) If you grant me respite till the Day of Resurrection, I shall root out his children except a few of them (by bringing them under my control).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 63[/INST]Allah said: ‘Go (respite is granted to you). So whoever of them follows you, Hell indeed is the only befitting punishment for you all.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 64[/INST]And whoever you can influence, destabilize (him) with your voice and invade them with (all the forces at your disposal) mounted and infantry troops, and become a partner with them in their wealth and children and make them (false) promises. And Satan does not make them (any) promises but fraud and deceit.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 65[/INST]Assuredly you will not be able to overpower those who are My servants, and your Lord is Sufficient to protect and help these (friends of Allah).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 66[/INST]Your Lord is He Who makes (the ships and) vessels sail in the sea (and rivers) for you so that you may look for His bounty (i.e sustenance through internal and external trade). Indeed He is Ever-Merciful towards you.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 67[/INST]And when some adversity afflicts you in the sea, then (all) those (idols) disappear (from your minds) you keep worshipping apart from Him (Allah Whom you remember at that time). Then when He rescues you and takes you safe ashore (you once again) start turning away (from Him). And man has happened to be extremely thankless!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 68[/INST]Do you feel free of this fear that He may sink you (into the land) right at the shore or may send to you stone storm? Then you will not find any helper for yourselves.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 69[/INST]Or have you become fearless that He may take you back once more (into the sea) and let loose upon you the ship-wrecking tempest and drown you (into the sea) because of your disbelief you used to practise. Then you will not find for yourselves anyone to impeach Us (on this drowning).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 70[/INST]And We have indeed honoured the children of Adam and provided them with (means of transport) over the land and in the sea (i.e. in the cities, deserts, rivers and oceans) and bestowed upon them sustenance out of clean and pure things. And We have exalted them above most of Our creation by conferring on them superiority.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 71[/INST](Call to mind) the Day when We shall call every section of people along with their leaders. So whoever will be given the record of his deeds in his right hand, so they will read their records (rejoicing) and they will not be wronged a whit.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 72[/INST]And whoever remains blind (to the Truth) in this (world) will be blind in the Hereafter as well, distracted from the path (of deliverance).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 73[/INST]And that is what the disbelievers were up to that they might tempt you away from that (Commandment) which We have revealed to you, so that you ascribe to Us some other (things) apart from this (Revelation), and then make you their friend.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 74[/INST]And had We not (already) made you firm-footed (through holiness and impeccability of Prophethood), even then you (owing to your holy and sanctified self and natural potential) would have but trivially gone near to inclining towards them. (You would not have even then bent much towards them and they would have failed. But Allah has protected you from even nearing such a probability through the holiness of Prophethood.)</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 75[/INST](But if supposedly you inclined then) We would make you taste double of the torment in the worldly life and double of the torment in death. You would not then find (even) for yourself any helper against Us.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 76[/INST]And the disbelievers also sought to shake you off the land (of Makka) so that they might banish you from here. (But had that supposedly happened) then they (themselves) would also not have stayed there but for a little while.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 77[/INST]This (has been) the practice (of Allah) with all those Messengers We sent before you and you will not find any change in Our Way.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 78[/INST]Establish the Prayers (Zuhr [Midday], ‘Asr [Afternoon], Maghrib [Sunset] and ‘Isha [Evening]) from the declining of the sun till deep darkness of the night. And also (make obligatory) the recitation of Fajr Prayer, for the Qur’an in Fajr (Dawn) Prayer is attended (by the angels and a state of divine consciousness also permeates).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 79[/INST]And in some part of the night (as well, rising from sleep,) offer the Tahajjud Prayer with the Qur’an. This is added especially for you. Your Lord will certainly raise you to a station of praise and glory (i.e. the glorious station of intercession where all the former and later generations will turn towards you and glorify you).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 80[/INST]And keep praying (to your Lord): ‘O my Lord, make me enter (wherever You are to make me enter) with the Truth (Your pleasure), and bring me out (from wherever You are to bring me out) with the Truth (Your pleasure). And bestow upon me from Your Presence the dominance that assists and the power that backs.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 81[/INST]And say: ‘The Truth has come and falsehood has fled. Surely falsehood has to perish.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 82[/INST]And We are sending down in the Qur’an what is healing and mercy for the believers. And it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 83[/INST]And when We bestow upon man (some) blessing he turns away (from gratitude) and escapes, but when some distress comes upon him he despairs (i.e. he is neither grateful nor patient).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 84[/INST]Say: ‘Everyone acts according to his own (respective) style and nature, and your Lord knows full well who is best guided to the straight path.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 85[/INST]And they (the disbelievers) ask you about the spirit. Say: ‘The spirit is from my Lord’s Command and you have been given but a very little knowledge.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 86[/INST]And if We so will, We can erase this (Book) which We have revealed to you, (from people’s minds and from the written copies,) and you will not then find anyone who may plead your case before Us for the communication of this (Revelation),</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 87[/INST]But that by your Lord’s Mercy (We have kept it intact. This) is indeed His mighty favour to you (and through you to your Umma [Community]).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 88[/INST]Say: ‘Should all men and jinn join in the attempt to produce (some other book) the like of this Qur’an, (even) then they will not be able to produce the like thereof, though they may become supporters to one another.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 89[/INST]And surely We have repeatedly explained for people every sort of example in this Quran (in diverse ways), but most people have not accepted (it. This is nothing) but sheer ingratitude.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 90[/INST]And they (the disbelievers of Makka) say: ‘We shall never believe in you until you cause some water spring to gush out of the earth,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 91[/INST]Or you have some garden of date-palms and grapes and you may cause streams to flow profusely therein,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 92[/INST]Or, as you have an idea, cause some pieces of the sky to fall upon us (just now) or bring Allah and the angels before us,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 93[/INST]Or you have a house of gold (wherein you live luxuriously) or you ascend up to heaven, but even then we will not believe in your ascension (to the heaven) until you bring down to us (from there) a Book which we may read (ourselves).’ Say: ‘Holy is my Lord (far above these vagaries). I am only a human being (and a Messenger) sent by Allah.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 94[/INST]And nothing prevented (these) people from believing, while there had come to them guidance (as well), except that they said: ‘Has Allah sent (a) man as Messenger?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 95[/INST]Say: ‘Had there been angels (instead of human beings) walking about, residing in the earth, then We (too) would have certainly sent down from heaven some angel as a Messenger.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 96[/INST]Say: ‘Sufficient is Allah for a witness between me and you. Surely He is Well Aware of His servants, All-Seeing.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 97[/INST]And he whom Allah guides, then he it is the rightly guided. But he whom He holds astray, you will not find for them any helper except Him. And We shall raise them on the Day of Resurrection prone, blind, dumb and deaf. Hell is their abode. Every time it abates We shall flare it more ablaze (to torment them).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 98[/INST]That is their punishment because they denied Our Revelations. And they kept saying: ‘Shall we be raised alive afresh after (we die) reduced to (decomposed) bones and dust particles?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 99[/INST]Have they not seen that Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth does (also) have the power to create the like of these people (again)? And He has fixed a term for them wherein there is no (chance of) doubt. The wrongdoers have even then refused to believe but (this) is ingratitude.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 100[/INST]Say: ‘If you were the owners of the treasures of my Lord’s Mercy, you would even then hold (your hands) back (from spending) for fear of (total) exhaustion. And man has turned out to be highly narrow-minded and niggardly.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 101[/INST]And indeed We bestowed upon Musa (Moses) nine bright Signs. And ask the Children of Israel, when (Musa [Moses]) came to them, Pharaoh said to him: ‘O Musa (Moses), in my opinion you are but a bewitched man (a spell has been cast upon you).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 102[/INST]Musa (Moses) replied: ‘(In your heart of hearts) you know that none has sent down these Signs as a means of warning and insight except the Lord of the heavens and the earth and, O Pharaoh, in my opinion you are a wreck (i.e. you are going to perish soon).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 103[/INST]Then (Pharaoh) resolved to uproot and cast away (Musa [Moses] and his people) from the land of (Egypt). So We drowned him and all those who were with him.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 104[/INST]Then after this We said to the Children of Israel: ‘Settle in this land. Then when the promise of the Hereafter comes to pass We shall take you all mustered together.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 105[/INST]And We have sent down this (Qur’an) with the Truth and it is with the Truth alone that it has come down. And, (O Glorious Beloved,) We have sent you but as a Bearer of glad tidings and as a Warner.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 106[/INST]And We sent down the Qur’an piecemeal so that you may recite it to the people distinctly with pauses. And We have revealed it piecemeal gradually (in accordance with the circumstances and expediencies).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 107[/INST]Say: ‘Believe in it or not, indeed those who were given the knowledge (of the Book) before you, they fall down upon their faces in prostration when this (Qur’an) is recited to them.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 108[/INST]And they say: Holy is our Lord. Surely the promise of our Lord was bound to come true.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 109[/INST]And they fall down on their faces sighing and wailing, and this (Qur’an) increases on their fear and submissiveness ever more.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 110[/INST]Say: ‘Call out Allah or call out ar-Rahman (the Most Compassionate), by whatever Name you invoke Him, (all) Best Names are His. And recite (the Qur’an in) your Prayer neither too loud nor too low but adopt a (middle) course in between the two.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 17 verse 111[/INST]And say: ‘All praise belongs to Allah alone Who has neither taken any son (for Himself) nor is there any partner in (His) kingdom and regime and nor has He any aide due to any handicap. (O Beloved,) keep extolling His Greatness and Glory with conviction and magnify Him with all His magnificence.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18[/INST]The Cave</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 1[/INST]All praise belongs to Allah Who revealed the (Glorious) Book to His (Most Beloved and Intimate) servant and left not in it any crookedness.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 2[/INST](He made it) straight and moderate so that he may warn (the disbelievers) of fierce torment (coming) from Allah and give good news to the believers who do pious deeds that for them is excellent reward (Paradise),</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 3[/INST]Wherein they will live forever,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 4[/INST]And (moreover) create fear in those who say that Allah has taken a son (for Himself).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 5[/INST]Neither they have any knowledge of it nor had their fathers. How dreadful is (this) utterance that is coming out of their mouths! They speak nothing but (sheer) falsehood.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 6[/INST](O Venerable Beloved!) Will you put your (dear) life at stake with the traumatic grief for them if they do not put faith in this Word (of Allah)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 7[/INST]And indeed We have made whatever is on earth a means of its beauty (and adornment) so that We test (the inhabitants of the earth) as to who is better on merit of their deeds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 8[/INST]And, surely, We shall reduce it to a barren land (perishing all) that is on (the surface of the earth).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 9[/INST]Have you thought of it (how) wondrous a Sign of the Signs (of Our Might) were the people of the Kahf and the Raqim (i.e. the people of Cave and the Cave Tablet or the Raqim valley)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 10[/INST](Call to mind the time) when a few youths took refuge in the cave. They said: ‘O our Lord, bestow upon us mercy from Your Presence and provide (means of) guidance in our affair.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 11[/INST]So We patted their ears (putting them to slumber) for some countable years in that cave.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 12[/INST]Then We raised them up to see which of the two groups would most rightly calculate (the time) that they stayed (in the cave).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 13[/INST]We (now) narrate to you their actual state of affairs. They were indeed (a few) young men who believed in their Lord and We increased for them (the light of) guidance.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 14[/INST]And We strengthened and stabilized their hearts (through Our communication and divine affinity). When they stood (before their king), they said: ‘Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We shall never worship any (false) god besides Him. (If we do that) then we shall certainly say something profane.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 15[/INST]These are the people of our community who have made many gods apart from Him. Why do they not bring any clear proof (in support of their godhood)? So, who is a greater wrongdoer than he who fabricates a lie against Allah?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 16[/INST]And (those young men mutually discussed:) ‘When you have withdrawn yourselves from them and those (false gods) which they worship other than Allah, take shelter in (this) cave. Your Lord will open up His mercy for you and will facilitate you in your affair.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 17[/INST]And you see that the sun, when it rises, moves to the right from their cave and inclines obliquely from them to the left when it sets while they are (lying) in the open chamber of the cave. This (change of the sun’s course) is one of the (great) Signs of Allah’s (Might). He whom Allah guides is the one who is rightly guided, but one whom He holds strayed you will not find for him any wali (friend to help) and murshid (guide to show the path).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 18[/INST]And, (O listener,) if you (look) at them, you will deem them awake whereas they are asleep. And We keep changing their sides to the right and to the left (after regular intervals), and their dog is sitting on (their) threshold sprawling both its forelegs. Had you glanced peeping at them, you would have run away turning your back on them, and your heart would have been filled with their terror.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 19[/INST]And likewise We raised them up so that they could probe among themselves. (So,) the vocal one among them said: ‘How long have you stayed (here)?’ They said: ‘We have tarried (here) for a day or (even) a part of that.’ (Winding it up, they) said: ‘Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed (here). So send someone of you to the city with this coin of yours. He should then find which food is more lawful and clean and bring you some of that. He should remain slow and polite (in going, buying and coming back), not leaving any clue about you (even) to a single person.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 20[/INST]Surely if they overpower you (after becoming aware of you), they will surely stone you to death or force you (through oppression) to return to their faith. And (if it so happens) then you will not prosper at all.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 21[/INST]And in this way We unveiled their (state) to those (who succeeded them some centuries later) so that they might know that Allah’s promise is true and (also) that there is no doubt about the coming of the Last Hour. (When these people of the cave died) and the people of the town developed a dispute concerning their matter, they said: ‘Raise a building over their (cave as a monument). Their Lord knows best their state of (saintly) affairs.’ Those (believers) who had the upper hand in their matter said: ‘We shall certainly build a mosque (at their door so that the believers may pray therein and acquire special bounty by obtaining spiritual nearness to the people of the cave).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 22[/INST](Now) some will say: ‘(The people of the cave) were three and the fourth was their dog,’ and still some will say: ‘(They) were five and the sixth was their dog.’ These are the estimations made without seeing. And others will say: ‘(They) were seven and the eighth was their dog.’ Say: ‘My Lord is the One Who exactly knows their number and none knows their (exact number) except a few.’ So do not discuss about them with anyone except the details that have been revealed. Nor seek any information from any of them (about the people of the Cave).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 23[/INST]And never say about anything: ‘I shall do this work tomorrow.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 24[/INST]But that: ‘If Allah so wills. (i.e. saying: Insha Allah).’ And remember your Lord when you forget and say: ‘I believe my Lord will show me the path of guidance which is (even) nearer than this one.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 25[/INST]And (the people of the Cave [Kahf]) stayed in their cave for three hundred years and they added another (nine) years (to that).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 26[/INST]Say: ‘Allah is the One Who knows best for how long they remained (there).’ He alone knows (all) the secrets of the heavens and the earth. How well He sees and how well He hears! They have no protector besides Him, nor does He share His Sovereignty with anyone.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 27[/INST]And recite that (Revelation) which has been revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. There is none who can change His Word, nor will you find any place of refuge except with Him.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 28[/INST](O My servant!) Stay tenaciously in the companionship of those who remember their Lord morning and evening, ardently seeking His pleasure, (keen on the glimpse of His sight and eagerly aspiring to glance at His radiant Countenance). Your (affectionate and caring) looks must not but focus them. Do you seek the charisma of the worldly life (shifting your attention away from these self-denying devotees)? And (also) do not follow him whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance and who follows but the urge of his (ill-commanding self) and his case has exceeded all bounds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 29[/INST]And say: ‘(This) Truth is from your Lord. So whoever desires may believe and whoever desires may deny.’ Indeed We have prepared for the wrongdoers the Fire (of Hell) whose walls will surround them. And if (due to thirst and distress) they cry, they will be helped with water like molten copper which will scald their faces. How dreadful a drink and how terrible a resting place!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 30[/INST]Indeed those who believe and do pious deeds, We certainly do not waste his reward who does pious deeds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 31[/INST]For them there are (everlasting) Gardens with streams flowing under their (palaces). They will be adorned with bracelets of gold in these Gardens, and they will wear green attires of fine brocade and heavy silk. And there they will recline upon raised and richly adorned thrones. What an excellent reward and how beautiful a resting place!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 32[/INST]And relate to them the example of two men, one of whom We provided with two gardens of grapevines, and We hedged both from all sides with date-palms and We grew between them (rich green) cultivated fields.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 33[/INST]Both these gardens yielded (abundant) fruits and their (produce) did not fall short of the mark. And We (also) made one stream flow in the middle of (each of) the two.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 34[/INST]And this man had (also besides this) abundant fruits (i.e. resources). While exchanging views with his companion, he said to him: ‘I am far more affluent than you and (also) more honourable as regards family and tribal strength.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 35[/INST]And (taking him along) he entered his garden. Doing wrong to his soul (by way of arrogance), he said: ‘I do not (even) imagine that this garden will perish.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 36[/INST]Nor do I entertain the idea that the Last Hour will take place. And if (supposedly) I am returned to my Lord, even then I shall certainly get a place to return better than these gardens.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 37[/INST]His companion, while exchanging views with him, said to him: ‘Have you denied (the Lord) Who has created you (first) from clay and then from a drop of vital fluid and then accomplished you (physically) into a full-grown man?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 38[/INST]But (this is what) I say: Allah alone is my Lord and I do not associate any partner with my Lord.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 39[/INST]And why did you not say when you entered your garden: Ma Sha Allah, la quwwata illa bi-llah – (It happens exactly as Allah wills. No one owns any power but with the help of Allah)? If (today) you find me inferior to you in wealth and riches (then what!)</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 40[/INST]It is not far from possible that my Lord may give me a garden better than yours and send from heaven some torment upon this (garden) turning it into a barren slippery piece of land.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 41[/INST]Or its water may sink so deep into the earth that it gets beyond your means to fetch.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 18 verse 42[/INST]And (because of his arrogance) all his fruits were besieged (with destruction) and in the morning he was but wringing his hands with grief bewailing all that wealth which he had invested (in raising this garden). And the garden had fallen down on its trellises and he (the embodiment of despair and despondence) said: ‘Would that I had not attributed peers to Allah (and had not employed self-conceit)!’</s> |
