THE DOUBTERS
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Men! If you doubt what We have revealed to ‘Our Servant’ — produce ‘one chapter’ comparable to it! The Faithful ‘know’ that it is ‘the Truth’ from their Lord. Behold, who did he consult for his enlightenment? Who taught him ‘the path of Judgment’ and taught him Understanding? Has it been told you from the beginning? Take courage! It is good, and he is right! Hear, ‘you deaf’ and look, ‘you blind!’ He sees many things, and his ears are open! The Lord was pleased to ‘magnify’ His Law, and make it glorious! Who among you will listen to this and ‘attend for the time to come?’ Who among you can declare this? Let them ‘bring forth’ their witnesses to justify them! They are ‘extinguished’ — quenched like a wick! Their witnesses neither see, nor know! Let them assemble. Let them ‘stand forth.’ They shall be terrified and they shall be put to shame together! ********** He marks it with a pencil, they know not neither do they ‘discern’ — for the Lord has done it! Put off your veil, sit in silence, and hear ‘this’ of which you ‘know nothing’ — perhaps you may succeed! Eat of the ‘good things’ We have given you. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, and does right, shall be rewarded by their Lord. Do therefore as you are bidden, Allah is not unaware of what you do! Allah loves him, and he shall prosper in His Way! Declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it and send it forth to the end of the earth: “This is from Allah!” ….. For Allah has comforted His People, and will have compassion on His afflicted! Can you believe one part of ‘the Scriptures’ and deny another? Those who act thus, shall be rewarded with ‘disgrace’ in this world, and a ‘grievous punishment’ — on the Day of Resurrection!
