025.055 Yet do they worship, besides God, things that can neither profit them nor harm them: and the Misbeliever is
a helper (of Evil), against his own Lord!
025.056 But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.
025.057 Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take a (straight) Path to his Lord."
025.058 And put thy trust in Him Who lives and dies not; and celebrate his praise; and enough is He to be acquainted
with the faults of His servants;-
025.059 He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the
Throne (of Authority): God Most Gracious: ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things).
025.060 When it is said to them, "Adore ye (God) Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is (God) Most Gracious? Shall
we adore that which thou commandest us?" And it increases their flight (from the Truth).
025.061 Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light;
025.062 And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will to celebrate His
praises or to show their gratitude.
025.063 And the servants of (God) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant
address them, they say, "Peace!";
025.064 Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing;
025.065 Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous,-
025.066 "Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in";
025.067 Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those
(extremes);
025.068 Those who invoke not, with God, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred except for just
cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.
025.069 (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy,-
025.070 Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for God will change the evil of such persons into
good, and God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful,
025.071 And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to God with an (acceptable) conversion;-
025.072 Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance);
025.073 Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were
deaf or blind;
025.074 And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and
give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."
025.075 Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy:
therein shall they be met with salutations and peace,
025.076 Dwelling therein;- how beautiful an abode and place of rest!
025.077 Say (to the Rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him: But ye have indeed
rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!"
THE POETS, CHAPTER NO. 026
026.001 Ta. Sin. Mim.
026.002 These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
026.003 It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.
026.004 If (such) were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their
necks in humility.
026.005 But there comes not to them a newly-revealed Message from (God) Most Gracious, but they turn away
therefrom.
026.006 They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what they mocked at!
026.007 Do they not look at the earth,- how many noble things of all kinds We have produced therein?
026.008 Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
