Essential Koran
The Night of Power [97:1-5]
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the
Compassionate
Behold, WE sent it down on the Night of Power; And what shall teach thee what is
the Night of Power? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months; in it
the angels and the Spirit descend, by the leave of their Lord, upon every
command. Peace it is, till the rising of the dawn.
The Religion of Truth [98:1-5]
In the Name of God, the Merciful,
the Compassionate
The unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters would never leave
off, till the Clear Sign came to them, a Messenger from God, reciting pages
purified, therein true Books. And they scattered not, those that were given the
Book, excepting after the Clear Sign came to them. They were commanded only to
serve God, making the religion His sincerely, men of pure faith, and to perform
the prayer, and pay the alms -- that is the religion of the True.
Mother Earth [99:1-8]
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the
Compassionate
When earth is shaken with a mighty shaking and earth brings forth burdens, and
Man says, 'What ails her?' upon that day she shall tell her tidings for that her
Lord has inspired her. Upon that day men shall issue in scatterings to see their
works, and whoso has done an atom's weight of good shall see it, and whoso has
done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.
True Gratitude [100:6-11]
Surely Man is ungrateful to his Lord, and
surely he is a witness against that! Surely he is passionate in his love for the
good things. Knows he not that when that which is in the tombs is overthrown,
and that which is in the breasts are brought out -- surely on that day their
Lord shall be aware of them!
The Balance of Justice [101:6-11]
Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in
the Balance shall inherit a pleasing life, but he whose deeds weigh light in the
Balance shall plunge in the womb of the Pit. And what shall teach thee what is
the Pit? A blazing Fire!
True Spiritual Joy [102:1-8]
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the
Compassionate
Gross rivalry diverts you, even till you visit the tombs. No indeed; but soon
you shall know. Again, no indeed; but soon you shall know. No indeed; did you
know with the knowledge of certainty, you shall surely see Hell. Again, you
shall surely see it with the eye of certainty then you shall be questioned that
day concerning true bliss. |
