"Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He bringeth them out of darkness into light." — Holy Qur'an 2:257
Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
092.001 | By the Night as it conceals (the light); |
092.002 | By the Day as it appears in glory; |
092.003 | By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- |
092.004 | Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. |
092.005 | So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God), |
092.006 | And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- |
092.007 | We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. |
092.008 | But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, |
092.009 | And gives the lie to the best,- |
092.010 | We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; |
092.011 | Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). |
092.012 | Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, |
092.013 | And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. |
092.014 | Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; |
092.015 | None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones |
092.016 | Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. |
092.017 | But those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it,- |
092.018 | Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification, |
092.019 | And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, |
092.020 | But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High; |
092.021 | And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. |
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.
