نُزُلًا مِن غَفورٍ رَحيمٍ
A hospitality from a Merciful Forgiver.”
وَمَن أَحسَنُ قَولًا مِمَّن دَعا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صالِحًا وَقالَ إِنَّني مِنَ المُسلِمينَ
Who speaks better than one who calls to God, acts righteously, and says, “I am among those who submit”?
وَلا تَستَوِي الحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ۚ ادفَع بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذي بَينَكَ وَبَينَهُ عَداوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَميمٌ
Good and evil aren’t equal. Repel by what’s better, and your former enemy may become a dear friend.
وَما يُلَقّاها إِلَّا الَّذينَ صَبَروا وَما يُلَقّاها إِلّا ذو حَظٍّ عَظيمٍ
Yet, none will attain it except those who are patient. And none will attain it except the very fortunate.
وَإِمّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيطانِ نَزغٌ فَاستَعِذ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ
When a provocation from Satan assails you, seek refuge in God. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
وَمِن آياتِهِ اللَّيلُ وَالنَّهارُ وَالشَّمسُ وَالقَمَرُ ۚ لا تَسجُدوا لِلشَّمسِ وَلا لِلقَمَرِ وَاسجُدوا لِلَّهِ الَّذي خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُم إِيّاهُ تَعبُدونَ
Among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Don’t bow down to the sun or the moon, but bow down to God, who created them both, if it’s Him that you serve.
فَإِنِ استَكبَروا فَالَّذينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحونَ لَهُ بِاللَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ وَهُم لا يَسأَمونَ ۩
If they display arrogance, those who stand in your Lord’s presence praise Him night and day, and they never tire.
وَمِن آياتِهِ أَنَّكَ تَرَى الأَرضَ خاشِعَةً فَإِذا أَنزَلنا عَلَيهَا الماءَ اهتَزَّت وَرَبَت ۚ إِنَّ الَّذي أَحياها لَمُحيِي المَوتىٰ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ
Among His signs: you see the earth barren, but when We send down water upon it, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who gave it life, is the Giver of Life to the dead; He has power over everything.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ يُلحِدونَ في آياتِنا لا يَخفَونَ عَلَينا ۗ أَفَمَن يُلقىٰ فِي النّارِ خَيرٌ أَم مَن يَأتي آمِنًا يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۚ اعمَلوا ما شِئتُم ۖ إِنَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ
Those who distort Our verses aren’t hidden from Us. Are those who are hurled into the Fire better, or those who arrive safe and sound on Resurrection Day? Do what you wish; He is Seeing of everything you do.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا بِالذِّكرِ لَمّا جاءَهُم ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَكِتابٌ عَزيزٌ
Those who reject the Reminder when it comes to them—it’s an invincible Book.
لا يَأتيهِ الباطِلُ مِن بَينِ يَدَيهِ وَلا مِن خَلفِهِ ۖ تَنزيلٌ مِن حَكيمٍ حَميدٍ
Falsehood can’t approach it, neither from before it, nor from behind it. It is a revelation from a Wise, Praiseworthy One.
