Y: Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in
the heavens and on earth, and has made his bounties flow to you in
exceeding measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among men
those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance,
and without a Book to enlighten them!
P: See ye not how Allah hath made serviceable unto you whatsoever is in
the skies and whatsoever is in the earth and hath loaded you with His
favours both without and within? Yet of mankind is he who disputeth
concerning Allah, without knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving
light.
S: Do you not see that Allah has made what is in the heavens and what is
in the earth subservient to you, and made complete to you His favors
outwardly and inwardly? And among men is he who disputes in respect of
Allah though having no knowledge nor guidance, nor a book giving light.
031.021
Y: When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that Allah has sent
down, they say: "Nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our
fathers (following)." What! even if it is Satan beckoning them to the
Penalty of the (Blazing) Fire?
P: And if it be said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath revealed,
they say: Nay, but we follow that wherein we found our fathers. What!
Even though the devil were inviting them unto the doom of flame?
S: And when it is said to them: Follow what Allah has revealed, they
say: Nay, we follow that on which we found our fathers. What! though
the Shaitan calls them to the chastisement of the burning fire!
031.022
Y: Whoever submits his whole self to Allah, and is a doer of good, has
grasped indeed the most trustworthy hand-hold: and with Allah rests the
End and Decision of (all) affairs.
P: Whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, he
verily hath grasped the firm hand-hold. Unto Allah belongeth the sequel
of all things.
S: And whoever submits himself wholly to Allah and he is the doer of
good (to others), he indeed has taken hold of the firmest thing upon
which one can lay hold; and Allah's is the end of affairs.
031.023
Y: But if any reject Faith, let not his rejection grieve thee: to Us is
their return, and We shall tell them the truth of their deeds: for
Allah knows well all that is in (men's) hearts.
P: And whosoever disbelieveth, let not his disbelief afflict thee (O
Muhammad). Unto Us is their return, and We shall tell them what they
did. Lo! Allah
