Holy Quran » AL MU'MINUUN : 81 - 100

Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

Say, [O Muhammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

They will say, "To Allah ." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

They will say, "[They belong] to Allah ." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah ." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

And I seek refuge in You, my Lord , lest they be present with me."

[For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.
