[93:3] Your Lord never abandoned you, nor did He forget. [93:4] The Hereafter is far better for you than this first (life). [93:5] And your Lord will give you enough; you will be pleased. [93:6] Did He not find you orphaned and He gave you a home? [93:7] He found you astray, and guided you. [93:8] He found you poor, and made you rich. [93:9] Therefore, you shall not forsake the orphan. [93:10] Nor shall you reprimand the beggar. [93:11] You shall proclaim the blessing your Lord has bestowed upon you.

Sura 92, The Night (Al-Layl) [92:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [92:1] By the night as it covers. [92:2] The day as it reveals. [92:3] And Him who created the male and the female. [92:4] Your works are of various kinds. [92:5] As for him who gives to charity and maintains righteousness. [92:6] And upholds the scripture. [92:7] We will direct him towards happiness. [92:8] But he who is stingy, though he is rich. [92:9] And disbelieves in the scripture. [92:10] We will direct him towards misery. [92:11] His money cannot help him when he falls. [92:12] We provide the guidance. [92:13] We control the Hereafter, as well as this life. [92:14] I have warned you about the blazing Hellfire. [92:15] None burns therein except the wicked. [92:16] Who disbelieves and turns away. [92:17] Avoiding it will be the righteous. [92:18] Who gives from his money to charity.

Sura 91, The Sun (Al-Shams) [91:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [91:1] By the sun and its brightness. [91:2] The moon that follows it. [91:3] The day that reveals. [91:4] The night that covers. [91:5] The sky and Him who built it. [91:6] The earth and Him who sustains it. [91:7] The soul and Him who created it. [91:8] Then showed it what is evil and what is good. [91:9] Successful is one who redeems it. [91:10] Failing is one who neglects it. [91:11] Thamûd's disbelief caused them to transgress. [91:12] They followed the worst among them. [91:13] GOD's messenger said to them, "This is GOD's camel; let her drink." [91:14] They disbelieved him and slaughtered her. Their Lord then requited them for their sin and annihilated them. [91:15] Yet, those who came after them remain heedless.

Sura 89, Dawn (Al-Fajr) [89:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [89:1] By the dawn. [89:2] And the ten nights. * Footnote [89:3] By the even and the odd. * Footnote [89:4] By the night as it passes. [89:5] A profound oath, for one who possesses intelligence. [89:6] Have you noted what your Lord did to 'Ãd? [89:7] Erum; the town with tall buildings. [89:8] There was nothing like it anywhere. [89:9] Also Thamûd, who carved the rocks in their valley. [89:10] And Pharaoh who possessed might. [89:11] They all transgressed in the land. [89:12] They spread evil throughout. [89:13] Consequently, your Lord poured upon them a whipping retribution. [89:14] Your Lord is ever watchful. [89:15] When the human being is tested by his Lord, through blessings and joy, he says, "My Lord is generous towards me." [89:16] But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, "My Lord is humiliating me!" [89:17] Wrong! I...

[88:3] Laboring and exhausted. [88:4] Suffering in a blazing Hellfire. [88:5] Drinking from a flaming spring. [88:6] They will have no food except the useless variety. [88:7] It never nourishes, nor satisfies hunger. [88:8] Other faces on that day will be full of joy. [88:9] Satisfied with their work. [88:10] In an exalted Paradise. [88:11] In it, no nonsense is heard. [88:12] In it, a spring flows. [88:13] In it, there are luxurious furnishings. [88:14] And drinks made available. [88:15] And pitchers in rows. [88:16] And carpets throughout. [88:17] Why do they not reflect on the camels and how they are created? [88:18] And the sky and how it is raised. [88:19] And the mountains and how they are constructed. [88:20] And the earth and how it is built. [88:21] You shall...

Sura 87, The Most High (Al-A‘alaa) [87:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [87:1] Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High. [87:2] He creates and shapes. [87:3] He designs and guides. [87:4] He produces the pasture. [87:5] Then turns it into light hay. [87:6] We will recite to you; do not forget. [87:7] Everything is in accordance with GOD's will; He knows what is declared, and what is hidden. [87:8] We will direct you to the easiest path. [87:9] Therefore, you shall remind; perhaps the reminder will benefit. [87:10] The reverent will take heed. [87:11] The wicked will avoid it. [87:12] Consequently, he will suffer the great Hellfire. [87:13] Wherein he never dies, nor stays alive. [87:14] Successful indeed is the one who redeems his soul. [87:15] By remembering the name of his Lord, and observing the contact prayers (Salat). [87:16] Indeed, you are preoccupied with this first life. [87:17] Even though the Hereafter is far be...

[86:4] Absolutely, everyone is well guarded. [86:5] Let the human reflect on his creation. [86:6] He was created from ejected liquid. [86:7] From between the spine and the viscera. [86:8] He is certainly able to resurrect him. [86:9] The day all secrets become known. [86:10] He will have no power, nor a helper. [86:11] By the sky that returns (the water). [86:12] By the earth that cracks (to grow plants). [86:13] This is a serious narration. [86:14] Not to be taken lightly. [86:15] They plot and scheme. [86:16] But so do I. [86:17] Just respite the disbelievers a short respite. Cumulative frequency of the word GOD for this Sura = Cumulative sum of verses where the word GOD occurs for this Sura = 2684 118030

[79:2] And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully. [79:3] And those floating everywhere. [79:4] Eagerly racing with one another— [79:5] to carry out various commands. [79:6] The day the quake quakes. [79:7] Followed by the second blow. [79:8] Certain minds will be terrified. [79:9] Their eyes will be subdued. [79:10] They will say, "We have been recreated from the grave! [79:11] "How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?" [79:12] They had said, "This is an impossible recurrence." [79:13] All it takes is one nudge. [79:14] Whereupon they get up. [79:15] Have you known about the history of Moses? [79:16] His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwaa. [79:17] "Go to Pharaoh; he has transgressed." [79:18] Tell him...

[77:4] Distribute the provisions. [77:5] Deliver messages. [77:6] Good news, as well as warnings. [77:7] What is promised will come to pass. [77:8] Thus, when the stars are put out. [77:9] The sky is opened up. [77:10] The mountains are blown up. [77:11] The messengers are summoned. [77:12] That is the appointed day. [77:13] The Day of Decision. [77:14] What a Day of Decision! [77:15] Woe on that day to the rejectors. [77:16] Did we not annihilate the earlier generations? [77:17] Then we made others follow them? [77:18] This is what we do to the criminals. [77:19] Woe on that day to the rejectors. [77:20] Did we not create you from a lowly liquid?* Footnote [77:21] Then we placed it in a well-protected repository. [77:22] For a specific period. [77:23] We m...

Sura 75, Resurrection (Al-Qeyaamah) [75:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [75:1] I swear by the Day of Resurrection. [75:2] And I swear by the blaming soul. [75:3] Does the human being think that we will not reconstruct his bones? [75:4] Yes indeed; we are able to reconstruct his finger tip. [75:5] But the human being tends to believe only what he sees in front of him. [75:6] He doubts the Day of Resurrection! [75:7] Once the vision is sharpened. [75:8] And the moon is eclipsed. [75:9] And the sun and the moon crash into one another. [75:10] The human being will say on that day, "Where is the escape?" [75:11] Absolutely, there is no escape. [75:12] To your Lord, on that day, is the final destiny. [75:13] The human being will be informed, on that day, of everything he did to advance himself, and everything he did to regress himself. [75:14] The human being will be his own judge. [75:15] No excuses will be accepted. Muhammad ...

Sura 73, Cloaked (Al-Muzzammil) [73:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [73:1] O you cloaked one. [73:2] Meditate during the night, except rarely. [73:3] Half of it, or a little less. [73:4] Or a little more. And read the Quran from cover to cover. [73:5] We will give you a heavy message. [73:6] The meditation at night is more effective, and more righteous. [73:7] You have a lot of time during the day for other matters. [73:8] You shall commemorate the name of your Lord, to come ever closer and closer to Him. [73:9] Lord of the east and the west; there is no other god besides Him. You should choose Him as your advocate. [73:10] And remain steadfast in the face of their utterances, and disregard them in a nice manner. [73:11] And let Me deal with the rejectors, who have been generously blessed; just give them a little time. [73:12] We have severe punishments, and Hell. [73:13] Food that can hardly be swallowed, and painful retribution. [73:...

Sura 70, The Heights (Al-Ma‘aarej) [70:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [70:1] A questioner may question the inevitable retribution. [70:2] For the disbelievers, none can stop it. [70:3] From GOD; Possessor of the highest Height. [70:4] The angels, with their reports, climb to Him in a day that equals fifty thousand years. [70:5] Therefore, you shall resort to a gracious patience. [70:6] For they see it far away. [70:7] While we see it very close. [70:8] The day will come when the sky will be like molten rocks. [70:9] The mountains will be like fluffy wool. [70:10] No friend will care about his close friend. [70:11] When they see them, the guilty will wish he could give his own children as ransom, to spare him the retribution of that day. [70:12] Also his spouse, and his brother. [70:13] Even his whole tribe that raised him. [70:14] Even all the people on earth, if it would save him. [70:15] No; it is aflame. [70:16] Eager to burn. ...

Sura 69, Incontestable (Al-Haaqqah) [69:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [69:1] The incontestable (event). [69:2] What an incontestable (event)! [69:3] It is truly incontestable. [69:4] Thamûd and 'Ãd disbelieved in the Shocker. [69:5] As for Thamûd, they were annihilated by the devastating (quake). [69:6] As for 'Ãd, they were annihilated by a persistent, violent storm. [69:7] He unleashed it upon them for seven nights and eight days, violently. You could see the people tossed around like decayed palm trunks. [69:8] Can you find any trace of them? [69:9] Pharaoh, others before him, and the sinners (of Sodom) were wicked. [69:10] They disobeyed the messenger of their Lord. Consequently, He requited them a devastating requital. [69:11] The flood was devastating, so we carried you on the floating (ark). [69:12] We rendered it a lesson for you, that any listening ear may understand. [69:13] When the horn is blown once. [69:14] The ...

Footnote [68:2] You have attained a great blessing from your Lord; you are not crazy. [68:3] You have attained a recompense that is well deserved. [68:4] You are blessed with a great moral character. [68:5] You will see, and they will see. [68:6] Which of you are condemned. [68:7] Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed off His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided. [68:8] Do not obey the rejectors. [68:9] They wish that you compromise, so they too can compromise. [68:10] Do not obey every lowly swearer. [68:11] A slanderer, a backbiter. [68:12] Forbidder of charity, a transgressor, a sinner. [68:13] Unappreciative, and greedy. [68:14] Even though he possessed enough money and children. [68:15] When our revelations are recited to him, he says, "Tales from the past!" [68:16] We will ...

Sura 67, Kingship (Al-Mulk) [67:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [67:1] Most exalted is the One in whose hands is all kingship, and He is Omnipotent. The Purpose of Our Life* [67:2] The One who created death and life for the purpose of distinguishing those among you who would do better.* He is the Almighty, the Forgiving. Footnote [67:3] He created seven universes in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Most Gracious. Keep looking; do you see any flaw? [67:4] Look again and again; your eyes will come back stumped and conquered. [67:5] We adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and guarded its borders with projectiles against the devils; we prepared for them a retribution in Hell. [67:6] For those who disbelieved in their Lord, the retribution of Gehenna. What a miserable destiny. [67:7] When they get thrown therein, they hear its furor as it fumes. [67:8] It almost explodes from rage. Whenever a group is thrown therein,...

Sura 66, Prohibition (Al-Tahreem) [66:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [66:1] O you prophet, why do you prohibit what GOD has made lawful for you, just to please your wives? GOD is Forgiver, Merciful.* Footnote [66:2] GOD has decreed for you the laws dealing with your oaths. GOD is your Lord, and He is the Omniscient, Most Wise. [66:3] The prophet had trusted some of his wives with a certain statement, then one of them spread it, and GOD let him know about it. He then informed his wife of part of the issue, and disregarded part. She asked him, "Who informed you of this?" He said, "I was informed by the Omniscient, Most Cognizant." [66:4] If the two of you repent to GOD, then your hearts have listened. But if you band together against him, then GOD is his ally, and so is Gabriel and the righteous believers. Also, the angels are his helpers. [66:5] If he divorces you, his Lord will substitute other wives in your place who are better t...

Appendix 20 (from: Quran The Final Testament, by Rashad Khalifa, PhD.) Quran: Unlike Any Other Book The Quran is God's Final Testament to the world, and He has pledged to protect it from the slightest distortion (15:9). Thus, the Quran is surrounded by invisible forces that guard it and serve it (13:39, 41:42, 42:24). Unlike any other book, the Quran is taught by God (55:1-2); He teaches us what we need at the time we need it. This is why we read the Quran hundreds of times without getting bored. We can read a novel, for example, only once. But the Quran can be read an infinite number of times, and we derive new and valuable information from it every time. On the other hand, the insincere readers - those who read the Quran to find fault with it - are diverted from the Quran (7:146, 17:45, 18:57, 41:44). In fact, God's invisible forces help them find the faults they seek. Since the Quran is perfect, such "faults" serve only to reveal the stupidity of God's ...

Sura 63, The Hypocrites (Al-Munaafeqoon) [63:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [63:1] When the hypocrites come to you they say, "We bear witness that you are the messenger of GOD."* GOD knows that you are His messenger, and GOD bears witness that the hypocrites are liars. Footnote [63:2] Under the guise of their apparent faith, they repel the people from the path of GOD. Miserable indeed is what they do. [63:3] This is because they believed, then disbelieved. Hence, their minds are blocked; they do not understand. A Chip On Their Shoulders [63:4] When you see them, you may be impressed by their looks. And when they speak, you may listen to their eloquence. They are like standing logs. They think that every call is intended against them. These are the real enemies; beware of them. GOD condemns them; they have deviated. [63:5] When they are told, "Come let the messenger of GOD pray for your forgiveness," they mockingly turn their head...

Sura 62, Friday (Al-Jumu‘ah) [62:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [62:1] Glorifying GOD is everything in the heavens and everything on earth; the King, the Most Sacred, the Almighty, the Most Wise. [62:2] He is the One who sent to the gentiles a messenger from among them, to recite to them His revelations, purify them, and teach them the scripture and wisdom. Before this, they had gone far astray. [62:3] And to many generations subsequent to them. He is the Almighty, Most Wise. [62:4] Such is GOD's grace that He bestows upon whomever He wills. GOD is Possessor of Infinite Grace. [62:5] The example of those who were given the Torah then failed to uphold it is like the donkey carrying great works of literature. Miserable indeed is the example of people who rejected GOD's revelations. GOD does not guide the wicked people. [62:6] Say, "O you who are Jewish, if you claim that you are GOD's chosen, to the exclusion of all other people, then ...

Sura 58, The Debate (Al-Mujaadalah) [58:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [58:1] GOD has heard the woman who debated with you about her husband, and complained to GOD. GOD heard everything the two of you discussed. GOD is Hearer, Seer. [58:2] Those among you who estrange their wives (by declaring them as forbidden in sex) as their mothers know full well that they are not their mothers.* Their mothers are the women who gave birth to them. Indeed, they are committing a blasphemy and a falsehood. GOD is Pardoner, Forgiver. Footnote [58:3] Those who estrange their wives in this manner, then reconcile thereafter, shall atone by freeing a slave before resuming their sexual relations. This is to enlighten you. GOD is Cognizant of everything you do. [58:4] If you cannot find a slave to free, you shall fast two consecutive months before resuming sexual relations. If you cannot fast, then you shall feed sixty poor people. You shall believe in GOD and His messenger....

Sura 56, The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe‘ah) [56:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [56:1] When the inevitable comes to pass. [56:2] Nothing can stop it from happening. [56:3] It will lower some, and raise others. [56:4] The earth will be shaken up. [56:5] The mountains will be wiped out. [56:6] As if they never existed. [56:7] You will be stratified into three kinds. [56:8] Those who deserved bliss will be in bliss. [56:9] Those who deserved misery will be in misery. [56:10] Then there is the elite of the elite. [56:11] They are those who will be closest (to God). [56:12] In the gardens of bliss. [56:13] Many from the first generations.* Footnote [56:14] Few from the later generations. [56:15] On luxurious furnishings. [56:16] Enjoying everything, they will be neighbors. [56:17] Serving them will be immortal servants. [56:18] With cups, pitchers and pure drinks. [56:19] They never run out, nor do they get bored. [56:20] Fruits of ...

Sura 54, The Moon (Al-Qamar) [54:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [54:1] The Hour has come closer, and the moon has split.* Footnote [54:2] Then they saw a miracle; but they turned away and said, "Old magic." [54:3] They disbelieved, followed their opinions, and adhered to their old traditions. [54:4] Sufficient warnings have been delivered to alert them. [54:5] Great wisdom; but all the warnings have been in vain. [54:6] Ignore them; the day will come when the caller will announce a terrible disaster. [54:7] With their eyes humiliated, they come out of the graves like scattered locusts. [54:8] As they respond to the caller, the disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult day." [54:9] The people of Noah disbelieved before them. They disbelieved our servant and said, "Crazy!" He was persecuted. [54:10] He implored his Lord, "I am oppressed; grant me victory." [54:11] We then opened the gates of the sky...

Sura 53, The Stars (Al-Najm) [53:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [53:1] As the stars fell away.* Footnote [53:2] Your friend (Muhammad) was not astray, nor was he deceived. [53:3] Nor was he speaking out of a personal desire. [53:4] It was divine inspiration. [53:5] Dictated by the Most Powerful. [53:6] Possessor of all authority. From His highest height. [53:7] At the highest horizon. [53:8] He drew nearer by moving down. [53:9] Until He became as close as possible. [53:10] He then revealed to His servant what was to be revealed. [53:11] The mind never made up what it saw. [53:12] Are you doubting what he saw? [53:13] He saw him in another descent. [53:14] At the ultimate point. [53:15] Where the eternal Paradise is located. [53:16] The whole place was overwhelmed. [53:17] The eyes did not waver, nor go blind. [53:18] He saw great signs of his Lord. The Flimsy Idols [53:19] Compare this with the female idols Allaat and Al...

Sura 50, Q. (Qãf) [50:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [50:1] Q., and the glorious Quran.* Footnote [50:2] They found it strange that a warner from among them came to them! The disbelievers said, "This is really strange. [50:3] "After we die and become dust; this is impossible." [50:4] We are fully aware of any one of them who gets consumed by the earth; we have an accurate record. [50:5] They rejected the truth when it came to them; they are utterly confused. [50:6] Have they not looked at the sky above them, and how we constructed it and adorned it, without a flaw? [50:7] And we created the earth, and scattered on it mountains, and grew in it all kinds of beautiful plants. [50:8] This is an enlightenment, and a reminder for every pious worshiper. [50:9] And we sent from the sky blessed water, to grow with it gardens and grains to be harvested. [50:10] Tall date palms, with clustered fruit. [50:11] Provisions for the people....

Sura 48, Victory (Al-Fatt-h) [48:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [48:1] We have bestowed upon you (O Messenger) a great victory.* Footnote [48:2] Whereby GOD forgives your past sins, as well as future sins, and perfects His blessings upon you, and guides you in a straight path. [48:3] Additionally, GOD will support you with an unwavering support. [48:4] He is the One who places contentment into the hearts of believers to augment more faith, in addition to their faith. To GOD belongs all forces of the heavens and the earth. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise. [48:5] He will certainly admit the believing men and women into gardens with flowing streams, wherein they abide forever. He will remit their sins. This is, in the sight of GOD, a great triumph. [48:6] And He will requite the hypocrite men and women and the idol worshiping men and women, for they have harbored evil thoughts about GOD. Their evil will backfire against them. For GOD is angry with them, ...

Sura 46, The Dunes (Al-Ahqãf) [46:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [46:1] H. M. [46:2] The revelation of this scripture is from GOD, the Almighty, Most Wise. [46:3] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them except for a specific purpose, and for a finite interim. Those who disbelieve are totally oblivious to the warnings given to them. [46:4] Say, "Consider the idols you have set up beside GOD. Show me what on earth did they create. Do they own part of the heavens? Show me any other scripture before this one, or any piece of established knowledge that supports your idolatry, if you are truthful." The Idols Totally Unaware [46:5] Who is farther astray than those who idolize beside GOD idols that can never respond to them until the Day of Resurrection, and are totally unaware of their worship? The Idols Disown Their Worshipers* [46:6] And when the people are summoned (on the Day of Judgment), their idols will be...

Sura 45, Kneeling (Al-Jãtheyah) [45:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [45:1] H. M. [45:2] The revelation of this scripture is from GOD, the Almighty, Most Wise.
