Surah Taghabun


Everything in the heavens and everything on earth glorifies God, to whom belongs the dominion and who deserves all praise; and who has power over all things.
- Thomas Cleary
That is the one who created you all; but some of you deny, while some of you believe. And God sees whatever you do.
- Thomas Cleary
God created the heavens and the earth soundly, and formed you all, fashioning you expertly; and the destination is to God.
- Thomas Cleary
God knows what is in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. And God knows what is contained in hearts.
- Thomas Cleary
Has no account come to you of those who scoffed before? They experienced the ill consequence of what they were about, suffering intense agony.
- Thomas Cleary
That is because their messengers brought them clear explanations, yet they said, “What? Human beings directing us?” And they scoffed and turned away, though God was unaffected, for God is absolutely independent, worthy of all praise.
- Thomas Cleary
Those who scoff think they’ll never be resurrected: say, “On the contrary—by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected, and then you will be told about everything you did. And that is easy for God.”
- Thomas Cleary
So believe in God and the messenger of God, and the light that We sent down, as God is aware of whatever you do.
- Thomas Cleary
The day God assembles you for a day of gathering, that will be a day of outdoing— whoever believes in God and acts with integrity, God will efface their evils from them and admit them to gardens below which rivers flow, to abide therein forever: that is the great success.
- Thomas Cleary
As for those who scoffed and repudiated Our signs, they will be inmates of the fire, where they will abide; and what a miserable destination!
