14:2God—to whom belongs what is in the heavens and the earth. And woe to the disbelievers from a severe torment.

14:3Those who prefer the present life to the Hereafter, and repel from the path of God, and seek to make it crooked—these are far astray.

14:4We never sent any messenger except in the language of his people, to make things clear for them. God leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

14:5We sent Moses with Our signs: “Bring your people out of darkness into light, and remind them of the Days of God.” In that are signs for every patient and thankful person.”

14:6Moses said to his people, “Remember God’s blessings upon you, as He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who inflicted on you terrible suffering, slaughtering your sons while sparing your daughters. In that was a serious trial from your Lord.”

14:8And Moses said, “Even if you are ungrateful, together with everyone on earth—God is in no need, Worthy of Praise.”

14:9Has not the story reached you, of those before you, the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood—and those after them? None knows them except God. Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs, but they tried to silence them, and said, “We reject what you are sent with, and we are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to.”

14:10Their messengers said, “Is there any doubt about God, Maker of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to forgive you your sins, and to defer you until a stated term.” They said, “You are only humans like us; you want to turn us away from what our ancestors worshiped; so bring us a clear proof.”

14:11Their messengers said to them, “We are only humans like you, but God favors whomever He wills from among His servants. We cannot possibly show you any proof, except by leave of God. In God let the faithful put their trust.”

14:12“And why should we not trust in God, when He has guided us in our ways? We will persevere in the face of your persecution. And upon God the reliant should rely.”

14:19Do you not see that God created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wills, He can do away with you, and bring a new creation.

14:20And that is not difficult for God.

14:21They will emerge before God, altogether. The weak will say to those who were proud, “We were your followers, can you protect us at all against God’s punishment?” They will say, “Had God guided us, we would have guided you. It is the same for us; whether we mourn, or are patient; there is no asylum for us.”

14:22And Satan will say, when the issue is settled, “God has promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your aid, nor can you come to my aid. I reject your associating with me in the past. The wrongdoers will have a torment most painful.”

14:24Do you not see how God presents a parable? A good word is like a good tree—its root is firm, and its branches are in the sky.

14:25It yields its fruits every season by the will of its Lord. God presents the parables to the people, so that they may reflect.

14:27God gives firmness to those who believe, with the firm word, in this life, and in the Hereafter. And God leads the wicked astray. God does whatever He wills.

14:28Have you not seen those who exchanged the blessing of God with blasphemy, and landed their people into the house of perdition?

14:30And they set up rivals to God, in order to lead away from His path. Say, “Enjoy yourselves; your destination is the Fire.”

14:32God is He Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down water from the sky, and with it produces fruits for your sustenance. And He committed the ships to your service, sailing through the sea by His command, and He committed the rivers to your service.

14:34And He has given you something of all what you asked. And if you were to count God’s blessings, you would not be able to enumerate them. The human being is unfair and ungrateful.

14:38“Our Lord, You know what we conceal and what we reveal. And nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.”

14:39“Praise be to God, Who has given me, in my old age, Ishmael and Isaac. My Lord is the Hearer of Prayers.”

14:42Do not ever think that God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only defers them until a Day when the sights stare.

14:46They planned their plans, but their plans are known to God, even if their plans can eliminate mountains.

14:47Do not ever think that God will break His promise to His messengers. God is Strong, Able to Avenge.

14:48On the Day when the earth is changed into another earth, and the heavens, and they will emerge before God, the One, the Irresistible.

14:51That God may repay each soul according to what it has earned. God is Quick in reckoning.

14:52This is a proclamation for mankind, that they may be warned thereby, and know that He is One God, and that people of understanding may remember.
