[to The Opening]


Surah 14.  Ibrahim

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1.  Alif.  Lam.  Ra.  A Scripture which We have sent down to you that thereby you may bring forth mankind from darkness to light, by the permission of their Lord, to the path of the Mighty, the Owner of Praise.

2.  ALLAH, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.  And woe to the deniers from an awful doom.

3.  Those who love the life of the world more than the Hereafter, and bar from the way of ALLAH and would have it crooked:  such are far astray.

4.  And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his folk, that he might make clear for them.  Then ALLAH sends whom He will astray, and Guides whom He will.  He is the Mighty, the Wise.

5.  We surely sent Moses with Our Revelations, saying:  Bring your people forth from darkness to light.  And remind them of the days of ALLAH.  Surely therein are Revelations for each steadfast, thankful.

6.  And how Moses said to his people:  Remember ALLAH's favor to you when He delivered you from Pharaoh's folk who were afflicting you with dreadful torment, and were slaying your sons and sparing your women; that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
