Read in Context

Chapter 29, Page 398, Juz 20

14. We sent Noah out to his people. He lived among them for fifty years short of a thousand but when the Flood overwhelmed them they were still doing evil. 15. We saved him and those with him on the Ark. We made this a sign for all people. 16. We also sent Abraham. He said to his people, ‘Serve God and be mindful of Him: that is better for you, if only you knew. 17. What you worship instead of God are mere idols; what you invent is nothing but falsehood. Those you serve instead of God have no power to give you provisions, so seek provisions from God, serve Him, and give Him thanks: you will all be returned to Him. 18. If you say this is a lie, [be warned that] other communities before you said the same. The messenger’s only duty is to give clear warning.’ 19. Do they not see that God brings life into being and reproduces it? Truly this is easy for God. 20. Say, ‘Travel throughout the earth and see how He brings life into being: and He will bring the next life into being. God has power over all things. 21. He punishes whoever He will and shows mercy to whoever He will. You will all be returned to Him. 22. You cannot escape Him on earth or in the heavens; you will have no one to protect or help you besides God.’

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
