Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 271, Juz 14

35. Those who worshipped others alongside God say, ‘If God had willed, we would not have worshipped anything but Him, nor would our fathers. We would not have declared anything forbidden without His sanction.’ Those before them said the same. Are the messengers obliged to do anything other than deliver [their message] clearly? 36. We sent a messenger to every community, saying, ‘Worship God and shun false gods.’ Among them were some God guided; misguidance took hold of others. So travel through the earth and see what was the fate of those who denied the truth. 37. Though you [Prophet] may be eager to guide them, God does not guide those who misguide [others], nor will they have anyone to help them. 38. They have sworn by God with their strongest oaths that He will not raise the dead to life. But He will- it is His binding promise, though most people do not realize it- 39. in order to make clear for them what they have differed about and so that the disbelievers may realize that what they said was false. 40. When We will something to happen, all that We say is, ‘Be,’ and it is.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
