[to The Opening]


Surah 35.  Fatir

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1.  Praise be to ALLAH, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who appoints the angels messengers having wings two, three and four.  He multiplies in creation what He will.  Lo!  ALLAH is Able to do all things.

2.  That which ALLAH opens to mankind of mercy none can withhold it; and that which He withholds none can release thereafter.  He is the Mighty, the Wise.

3.  O mankind!  Remember ALLAH's grace toward you!  Is there any creator other than ALLAH who provides for you from the sky and the earth?  There is no God save Him.  Whither then are you turned?

4.  And if they deny you,, messengers were denied before you.  To ALLAH all things are brought back.

5.  O mankind!  Lo!  the promise of ALLAH is true.  So let not the life of the world fool you, and let not the beguiler fool you with regard to ALLAH.

6.  Lo!  the devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy.  He only summons his faction to be owners of the Earning Fire.

7.  Those who deny, theirs will be an awful doom; and those who keep faith and do good works, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward.
