Say, “I do not tell you that I possess Allah’s treasures, nor do I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me.” Say, “Are the blind and the seeing equal? Will you not reflect?”
Warn with this Qur’an those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord, with no protector or intercessor besides Him, so that they may become mindful of Allah.
Do not drive away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure. You are not accountable for them in any way, nor are they accountable for you in any way. If you were to drive them away, you would then be among the wrongdoers.
In this way We have tested some of them through others, so that they say, “Are these the ones Allah has favored among us?” Does Allah not know best who is grateful?
When those who believe in Our signs come to you, say, “Peace be upon you. Your Lord has committed Himself to mercy: whoever among you does wrong out of ignorance and then repents afterward and makes amends, then He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
Say, “I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allah.” Say, “I will not follow your desires. If I did, I would have gone astray and would not be among those rightly guided.”
Say, “I stand on clear evidence from my Lord, yet you have denied it. What you are demanding that I hasten is not in my power. Judgment belongs only to Allah. He declares the truth, and He is the best of judges.”
Say, “If what you demand that I hasten were in my power, the matter between me and you would already have been settled. Allah knows the wrongdoers best.”
With Him are the keys of the unseen; no one knows them except Him. He knows whatever is on land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor is there a grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry, except that it is recorded in a clear Record.
He is the One who takes you during the night and knows what you earn during the day. Then He raises you up in it so that an appointed term may be completed. Then to Him is your return, and He will inform you of what you used to do.
He is supreme over His servants, and He sends guardians over you until, when death comes to one of you, Our messengers take their soul, and they never fail in their duty.
Say, “Who rescues you from the darkness of land and sea when you call upon Him humbly and secretly, saying, ‘If He saves us from this, we will certainly be among the grateful’?”
Say, “He has power to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to divide you into conflicting groups and make some of you taste the violence of others.” See how We explain the signs in different ways so that they may understand.
When you see people engaging in mockery of Our signs, turn away from them until they move on to another subject. If Satan makes you forget, then once you remember, do not remain with wrongdoing people.
Leave those who take their religion as play and amusement and are deceived by the life of this world. But remind them with this Qur’an, so that no soul is handed over to ruin because of what it has earned. It will have no protector or intercessor besides Allah, and even if it offered every possible ransom, it would not be accepted. Those are the ones handed over to ruin because of what they earned. They will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment because they used to reject faith.
Say, “Should we call upon, besides Allah, what can neither benefit nor harm us, and turn back after Allah has guided us, like someone whom devils have lured into confusion in the land while companions call them toward guidance, saying, ‘Come to us’?” Say, “Allah’s guidance is the true guidance, and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all worlds,”
