Wama manaAAa alnnasa an yu/minoo ith jaahumu alhuda illa an qaloo abaAAatha Allahu basharan rasoolan\n94. What kept men back\n From Belief when Guidance\n Came to them, was nothing\n But this: they said,\n \"Has God sent a man\n (Like us) to be (His) Apostle?\"\n95. Qul law kana fee al-ardi mala-ikatun yamshoona mutma-inneena lanazzalna AAalayhim mina alssama-i malakan rasoolan\n95. Say, \"If there were settled,\n On earth, angels walking about\nIn peace and quiet, We should\n Certainly have sent them\n Down from the heavens\n An angel for an apostle.\"\n96. Qul kafa biAllahi shaheedan baynee wabaynakum innahu kana biAAibadihi khabeeran baseeran\n96. Say: \"Enough is God\n For a witness between me\n And you: for He is\n Well acquainted with His servants,\n And He sees (all things).\n97. Waman yahdi Allahu fahuwa almuhtadi waman yudlil falan tajida lahum awliyaa min doonihi wanahshuruhum yawma alqiyamati AAala wujoohihim AAumyan wabukman wasumman ma/wahum jahannamu kullama khabat zidnahum saAAeeran\n97. It is he whom God guides,\n That is on true guidance;\n But he whom He leaves\n Astray\u2014for such wilt thou\n Find no protector besides Him.\n On the Day of Judgment\n We shall gather them together,\n Prone on their faces,\n Blind, dumb, and deaf:\n Their abode will be Hell:\n Every time it shows abatement,\n We shall increase for them\n The fierceness of the Fire.\n98. Thalika jazaohum bi-annahum kafaroo bi-ayatina waqaloo a-itha kunna AAithaman warufatan a-inna lamabAAoothoona khalqan jadeedan\n98. That is their recompense,\n Because they rejected Our Signs,\n And said, \"When we are reduced\n To bones and broken dust,\n Should we really be raised up\n (To be) a new Creation?\"\n99. Awa lam yaraw anna Allaha allathee khalaqa alssamawati waal-arda qadirun AAala an yakhluqa mithlahum wajaAAala lahum ajalan la rayba feehi faaba alththalimoona illa kufooran\n99. See they not that God,\n Who created the heavens\n And the earth, has power\n To create the like of them\n (Anew)? Only He has\n Decreed a term appointed,\n Of which there is no doubt.\n But the unjust refuse\n (To receive it) except\n With ingratitude.\n100. Qul law antum tamlikoona khaza-ina rahmati rabbee ithan laamsaktum khashyata al-infaqi wakana al-insanu qatooran\n100. Say: \"If ye had\n Control of the Treasures\n Of the Mercy of my Lord,\n Behold, ye would keep them\n Back, for fear of spending\n Them: for man\n Is (ever) niggardly!\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XVII.: Ban\u012b Isr\u0101-\u012bl, or the Children of Israel,: Section 11 (94-100)","type":"page"}
