Walaw yu-akhithu Allahu alnnasa bithulmihim ma taraka AAalayha min dabbatin walakin yu-akhkhiruhum ila ajalin musamman fa-itha jaa ajaluhum la yasta/khiroona saAAatan wala yastaqdimoona\n61. If God were to punish\n Men for their wrong-doing,\n He would not leave, on the (earth);\n A single living creature:\n But He gives them respite\n For a stated Term:\n When their Term expires,\n They would not be able\n To delay (the punishment)\n For a single hour, just as\n They would not be able\n To anticipate it (for a single hour).\n62. WayajAAaloona lillahi ma yakrahoona watasifu alsinatuhumu alkathiba anna lahumu alhusna la jarama anna lahumu alnnara waannahum mufratoona\n62. They attribute to God\n What they hate (for themselves),\n And their tongues assert\n The falsehood that all good things\n Are for themselves: without doubt\n For them is the Fire, and they\n Will be the first to be\n Hastened on into it!\n63. TaAllahi laqad arsalna ila omamin min qablika fazayyana lahumu alshshaytanu aAAmalahum fahuwa waliyyuhumu alyawma walahum AAathabun aleemun\n63. By God, We (also) sent\n (Our apostles) to Peoples\n Before thee; but Satan\n Made, (to the wicked),\n Their own acts seem alluring:\n He is also their patron to-day,\n But they shall have\n A most grievous penalty.\n64. Wama anzalna AAalayka alkitaba illa litubayyina lahumu allathee ikhtalafoo feehi wahudan warahmatan liqawmin yu/minoona\n64. And We sent down the Book\n To thee for the express purpose,\n That thou shouldst make clear\n To them those things in which\n They differ, and that it should he\n A guide and a mercy\n To those who believe.\n65. WaAllahu anzala mina alssama-i maan faahya bihi al-arda baAAda mawtiha inna fee thalika laayatan liqawmin yasmaAAoona\n65. And God sends down rain\n From the skies, and gives therewith\n Life to the earth after its death:\n Verily in this is a Sign\nFor those who listen.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XVI.: Na\u1e25l or The Bee.: Sectio...","type":"page"}
