And how many a Sign there is in the heavens and the earth which they
pass by, yet they become turners away therefrom! |
| 106
And most of them do not believe in Allah without becoming polytheists. |
| 107
Do they then feel secure from coming to them of an over-whelming chastisement
from Allah, or the coming to them of the Hour all of a sudden, while
they do not realize it? |

Say: "This is my Path, I call to Allah, I am upon an enlighten-ment,
and those who follow me. And glory be to Allah, and I am not among
the polytheists." |
| 109
And We did not send before you any but men- from the people of the
towns to whom We revealed. Have they not then traveled in the earth
and seen as to what was the end of those before them? And certainly
the Future Home is better for those who practise reverence. Will you
not then understand? |
| 110
So much so that when the rasuls despaired, and they thought that they
had surely been told lies, Our help came to them. Then We rescued
whom We pleased. And Our power is not averted from the guilty people. |
| 111
There is certainly a lesson in their histories for the possessors
of understanding. This is not a narrative which could be forged; rather
it is a Confirmation of what is before it, and an Explanation of all
things, and a Guidance, and a Mercy for a people who believe. |

And how many a Sign there is in the heavens and the earth
(i.e. throughout the nature and in human history) which they
pass by, yet they become turners away therefrom! |
| 106
And most of them do not believe in Allah without (associating
with Him other deities like idols, stones, trees, cows, snakes,
prophets, heroes, saints, sages etc., and thereby) becoming
polytheists. |
| 107
Do they then feel secure from coming to them of an overwhelming
chastisement from Allah (Who moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform), or the coming to them (like
that of a bolt from the blue) of the Hour (of their doom)
all of a sudden, while they do not realize it (feeling
safety in sin)? |
| 108
Say (O Muhammad!): "This is my Path, I call
(mankind) to Allah (the One and only Reality), I am
upon an enlightenment, and (so are) those who follow
me (12:93). And glory be to Allah, and I am not among
the polytheists." |
| 109
And We did not send before you any but men (as Our rasuls)-
from the people of the towns (i.e. men living with men,
21:7-8; 25:20; and not angels, 17:94-95, or so-called Divine
incarnations) to whom We revealed (Our Messages to preach
to their people and to serve as models for human beings). Have
they not then (instead of trying to see the whole earth
by ascending a mountain-peak, Matt. 4:8-9; Ps. 24:1) traveled
in the earth (in search of knowledge) and seen (for
themselves) as to what was the end of those before them?
And certainly the Future Home (even in this very world,
55:46) is better for those who practice reverence. Will you
not then understand (and take up the right course)? |
| 110
So much so that when the rasuls (at length) despaired
(of their people who refused to heed to the warning), and
they (-the people) thought that they had surely been
told lies (as no threatened chastisement was coming to them
till then), Our help came to them (-the rasuls, 12:87,
by causing discomfiture to the wicked people). Then We rescued
(the deserving ones) whom We pleased. And Our power is not
averted from the guilty people. |
| 111
There is certainly a lesson in their histories (-the
histories of rasuls, their followers, and of the wicked,-) for
the possessors of understanding. This (Qur-an) is not
a narrative which could be forged; rather it is a Confirmation
(in its main outline) of what is before it (like the
Bible, 2:41), and an Explanation of all things (covering
all aspects of human life, and this all-encompassing coverage
is lacking in earlier scriptures), and a Guidance (towards
good conduct), and a Mercy (of Allah) for a people
who believe (and adopt it in their life, while the Unbelievers
remain deprived of the blessings of this Qur-an). |
