| 21 O you mankind!
worship your Rabb Who created you and those (other people including
your ancestors who came) before you, so that you may practise reverence,- |
|
22
Who made for you the earth (as) a carpet (in the Temple
of His world-family), and the sky as a canopy (40:64, and
thus making you a single family under one roof, 2:213); and He
brings down from the sky water, then He brings forth therewith fruits
as a sustenance for you. Therefore do not set up with Allah rivals
(like false gods, priests, saints etc.), while you were knowing
(fully well that such rivals cannot provide you with any of these
things).
|
| 23 And if
you are in doubt as to (the truth of the Qur-anic Message) what
We have (from time to time) revealed upon Our Bondsman
(Muhammad, whose bondage to Us implies his liberation from all other
servitudes, 16:75), then come up with a (single) Surah the
like of (or comparable to) this (10:38; 11:13) and invite
your helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if you are truth-tellers
(regarding your so-called doubt). |
| 24 But if
you (fail and) do not do (it)- and you can never
do (it, even though you exhibit much ado about it)- then
(as a proof of the Fire awaiting you in the Hereafter,) fear the
Fire (of war, 3:102; 5:64; 104:6,7) whose fuel is men (like
the mischief-makers) and the stones (that are worshipped, and
also the hard-hearted leaders)- it is prepared for the Unbelievers. |
| 25 And give
glad tidings (O Muhammad!) to those who believe (accepting
all the fundamental principles of Islam as the basis of action) and
(consequently) do good (to all in such a way that their plant
of Faith is nurtured with their good deeds to bear good fruit, 14:24-25),
that for them are Gardens (grown out of their Faith, 55:46,50,66)
beneath (the shades of) which flow the rivers (of refreshing
water)! (The fruits in the Here-after being the consequences of the
deeds done in this life) every time they are provided from these
(Gardens) with fruit as a provision, they say: "This is
(the very fruit of the deeds) what we were provided with in the
past (in our earthly life, 55:46)"; for, they
are given it (-the fruit of their deeds) in resemblance
(to those deeds). And they have in them pure companions (as
a reward of their keeping good company in this life, 36:56; 44:54;
52:20; 55:72; 56:22), and they therein abide (for ever). |
