۞ مَثَلُ

ٱلۡفَرِيقَيۡنِ

كَٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

وَٱلۡأَصَمِّ

وَٱلۡبَصِيرِ

وَٱلسَّمِيعِۚ

Chapter 11, Page 224, Juz 12

15. Whoso desireth the life of the world and its pomp, We shall repay them their deeds herein, and therein they will not be wronged. 16. Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to do is fruitless. 17. Is he (to be counted equal with them) who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him reciteth it, and before it was the Book of Moses, an example and a mercy? Such believe therein, and whoso disbelieveth therein of the clans, the Fire is his appointed place. So be not thou in doubt concerning it. Lo! it is the Truth from thy Lord; but most of mankind believe not. 18. Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah? Such will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say: These are they who lied concerning their Lord. Now the curse of Allah is upon wrong-doers, 19. Who debar (men) from the way of Allah and would have it crooked, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter. 20. Such will not escape in the earth, nor have they any protecting friends beside Allah. For them the torment will be double. They could not bear to hear, and they used not to see. 21. Such are they who have lost their souls, and that which they used to invent hath failed them. 22. Assuredly in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers. 23. Lo! those who believe and do good works and humble themselves before their Lord: such are rightful owners of the Garden; they will abide therein. 24. The similitude of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer. Are they equal in similitude? Will ye not then be admonished?
