| 25. And WE sent no Messenger before thee but WE revealed to him: `There is no god but I; so worship ME alone.' 26. And they say, `The Gracious God has taken to Himself a son.' Holy is HE. Nay, those whom they so designate are only HIS honoured servants; 27. They speak not before HE speaks, and they only carry out HIS commands. 28. HE knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they intercede not except for him whom HE approves it and they tremble in awe of HIM. 29. And whosoever of them should say, `I am a god beside HIM,' him shall WE requite with Hell. Thus do WE requite the wrongdoers. 30. Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed up-mass, then WE opened them out ? And WE made of water every living thing. Will they not then believe ? 31. And WE have placed in the earth firm mountains lest it should quake with them; and WE have made therein wide pathways, that they may be rightly guided. 32. And WE have made the heaven a roof, well-protected, yet they turn away from its Signs. 33. And HE it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each gliding along smoothly in its orbit. 34. WE granted not everlasting life to any mortal before thee. If they shouldst die, shall they live here for ever ? 35. Every soul shall taste of death; and WE test you with evil and good by way of trial. And to US shall you be returned. |
