Waqala alshshaytanu lamma qudiya al-amru inna Allaha waAAadakum waAAda alhaqqi wawaAAadtukum faakhlaftukum wama kana liya AAalaykum min sultanin illa an daAAawtukum faistajabtum lee fala taloomoonee waloomoo anfusakum ma ana bimusrikhikum wama antum bimusrikhiyya innee kafartu bima ashraktumooni min qablu inna alththalimeena lahum AAathabun aleemun\n22. And Satan will say\n When the matter is decided:\n \"It was God Who gave you\n A promise of Truth: I too\n Promised, but I failed\n In my promise to you.\nI had no authority over you\n Except to call you, but ye\n Listened to me: then\n Reproach not me, but reproach\n Your own souls. I cannot listen\n To your cries, nor can ye\n Listen to mine. I reject\n Your former act in associating\n Me with God.\n For wrong-doers there must be\n A grievous Penalty.\"\n23. Waodkhila allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati jannatin tajree min tahtiha al-anharu khalideena feeha bi-ithni rabbihim tahiyyatuhum feeha salamun\n23. But those who believe\n And work righteousness\n Will be admitted to Gardens\n Beneath which rivers flow,\u2014\n To dwell therein for aye\n With the leave of their Lord.\n Their greeting therein\n Will be: \"Peace!\"\n24. Alam tara kayfa daraba Allahu mathalan kalimatan tayyibatan kashajaratin tayyibatin asluha thabitun wafarAAuha fee alssama/-i\n24. Seest thou not how\n God sets forth a parable?\u2014\n A goodly Word\n Like a goodly tree,\n Whose root is firmly fixed,\n And its branches (reach)\n To the heavens,\u2014\n25. Tu/tee okulaha kulla heenin bi-ithni rabbiha wayadribu Allahu al-amthala lilnnasi laAAallahum yatathakkaroona\n25. It brings forth its fruit\n At all times, by the leave\nOf its Lord.\n So God sets forth parables\n For men, in order that\n They may receive admonition.\n26. Wamathalu kalimatin khabeethatin kashajaratin khabeethatin ijtuththat min fawqi al-ardi ma laha min qararin\n26. And the parable\n Of an evil Word\n Is that of an evil tree:\n It is torn up by the root\n From the surface of the earth:\n It has no stability.\n27. Yuthabbitu Allahu allatheena amanoo bialqawli alththabiti fee alhayati alddunya wafee al-akhirati wayudillu Allahu alththalimeena wayafAAalu Allahu ma yasha/o\n27. God will establish in strength\n Those who believe, with the Word\n That stands firm, in this world\n And in the Hereafter; but God\n Will leave, to stray, those\n Who do wrong: God doeth\n What He willeth.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XIV.: Ibr\u0101h\u012bm, or Abraham.: Section 4 (22-27)","type":"page"}
