[to The Opening]


Surah 64.  At-Taghabun

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1.  All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifies ALLAH; to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him belongs praise, and He is Able to do all things.

2.  He it is Who created you, but one of you is a denier and one of you is a believer, and ALLAH is Seer of what you do.

3.  He created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He shaped you and made good your shapes, and to Him is the journeying.

4.  He knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and He knows what you conceal and what you disclose.  and ALLAH is Aware of what is in the breasts.

5.  Has not the story reached you of those who denied of old and so did taste the ill effects of their conduct, and theirs will be a painful doom.

6.  That was because their messengers kept coming to them with clear proofs, but they said:  Shall mere mortals Guide us?  So they denied and turned away, and ALLAH was independent.  ALLAH is Absolute, Owner of Praise.

7.  Those who deny assert that they will not be raised again.  Say:  Yea, surely, by my Lord!  you will be raised again and then you will be informed of what you did; and that is easy for ALLAH.

8.  So keep faith with ALLAH and His messenger and the light which We have sent down.  And ALLAH is Aware of what you do.

9.  The day when He shall gather you to the Day of Assembling, that will be a day of mutual disillusion.  And whoso keeps faith with ALLAH and does right, He will remit from him his evil deeds and will bring him into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, therein to remain.  That is the supreme triumph.

10.  But those who deny and belie Our Revelations, such are owners of the Fire; they will abide therein -- a hapless journey's end!
