Wa-ith taaththana rabbukum la-in shakartum laazeedannakum wala-in kafartum inna AAathabee lashadeedun\n7. And remember! your Lord\n Caused to be declared (publicly):\n \"If ye are grateful, I will\n Add more (favours) unto you;\n But if ye show ingratitude,\n Truly my punishment\n Is terrible indeed.\"\n8. Waqala moosa in takfuroo antum waman fee al-ardi jameeAAan fa-inna Allaha laghaniyyun hameedun\n8. And Moses said: \"If ye\n Show ingratitude, ye and all\n On earth together,\u2014yet\n Is God Free of all wants,\n Worthy of all praise.\n9. Alam ya/tikum nabao allatheena min qablikum qawmi noohin waAAadin wathamooda waallatheena min baAAdihim la yaAAlamuhum illa Allahu jaat-hum rusuluhum bialbayyinati faraddoo aydiyahum fee afwahihim waqaloo inna kafarna bima orsiltum bihi wa-inna lafee shakkin mimma tadAAoonana ilayhi mureebun\n9. Has not the story\n Reached you, (O people!), of those\n Who (went) before you?\u2014\n Of the People of Noah,\n And \u2019\u0100d, and Tham\u016bd?\u2014\n And of those who (came)\n After them? None knows them\n But God. To them came\nApostles with Clear (Signs);\n But they put their hands\n Up to their mouths, and said:\n \"We do deny (the mission)\n On which ye have been sent,\n And we are really\n In suspicious (disquieting) doubt\n As to that to which\n Ye invite us.\"\n10. Qalat rusuluhum afee Allahi shakkun fatiri alssamawati waal-ardi yadAAookum liyaghfira lakum min thunoobikum wayu-akhkhirakum ila ajalin musamman qaloo in antum illa basharun mithluna tureedoona an tasuddoona AAamma kana yaAAbudu abaona fa/toona bisultanin mubeenin\n10. Their apostles said: \"Is there\n A doubt about God,\n The Creator of the heavens\n And the earth? It is He\n Who invites you, in order\n That He may forgive you\n Your sins and give you\n Respite for a term appointed!\"\n They said: \"Ah! ye are\n No more than human,\n Like ourselves! Ye wish\n To turn us away from\n The (gods) our fathers\n Used to worship: then\n Bring us some clear authority.\"\n11. Qalat lahum rusuluhum in nahnu illa basharun mithlukum walakinna Allaha yamunnu AAala man yashao min AAibadihi wama kana lana an na/tiyakum bisultanin illa bi-ithni Allahi waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almu/minoona\n11. Their apostles said to them:\n \"True, we are human\n Like yourselves, but God\n Doth grant His grace\nTo such of His servants\n As He pleases. It is not\n For us to bring you\n An authority except as God\n Permits. And on God\n Let all men of faith\n Put their trust.\n12. Wama lana alla natawakkala AAala Allahi waqad hadana subulana walanasbiranna AAala ma athaytumoona waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almutawakkiloona\n12. \"No reason have we why\n We should not put our trust\n On God. Indeed He\n Has guided us to the Ways\n We (follow). We shall certainly\n Bear with patience all\n The hurt you may cause us.\n For those who put their trust\n Should put their trust on God.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XIV.: Ibr\u0101h\u012bm, or Abraham.: Section 2 (7-12)","type":"page"}
