"Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse." — Holy Qur'an 9:32
Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
087.001 | Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, |
087.002 | Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; |
087.003 | Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; |
087.004 | And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture, |
087.005 | And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble. |
087.006 | By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, |
087.007 | Except as God wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden. |
087.008 | And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path). |
087.009 | Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). |
087.010 | The admonition will be received by those who fear (God): |
087.011 | But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones, |
087.012 | Who will enter the Great Fire, |
087.013 | In which they will then neither die nor live. |
087.014 | But those will prosper who purify themselves, |
087.015 | And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer. |
087.016 | Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world; |
087.017 | But the Hereafter is better and more enduring. |
087.018 | And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),- |
087.019 | The Books of Abraham and Moses. |
Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
