POINTS FROM FIFTEENTH CHAPTER

The Distant Place of Worship the neighbourhood

whereof We have blessed......
Children of Israel, the seed of those whom We
carried (in the ship) along with Noah
Lo! this Quran guides unto that which is
straightest, and gives tidings unto the Believers
who do good works...

Man prayeth for evil as he prayeth for good; for

man was ever hasty
And every man's augury have We fastened to his
own neck,.....
Whosoever goes right, it is only for (the good of)
his own soul that he goes right, and wosoever
erreth, erreth only to its hurt.No laden soul can
bear another's load.
Each do We supply, both these and those, from
the bounty of your Lord....
Lo! the squanderers were ever brothers of the
devils...
And let not your hand be chained to your neck
nor open it with a complete opening, lest you sit
down rebuked denuded
...but let him not commit excess in slaying.....

Fill the measure when ye measure, and weigh

with a right balance; that is meet, and better in
the end
Walk not in the earth exultant...

We verily have displayed in this Quran that they

may take heed,
The seven heavens and the earth and all that is
therein praise Him, and there not a thing but
hymneth His praise; but you understand not their
praise....
...and when you make mention of your Lord
alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in
aversion
...and ye will think that ye have tarried but a little
while
Man only cries unto Allah in the state of
problems, but afterwards forgets and disbelieve.
Feel ye then secure that He will not cause a slope
of the land to engulf you.....
No one can be spared from the punishment of
Allah, if you disobey Him

Lo!(the recital of) the Quran at dawn is ever

witnessed
And some part of the night awake for it(Quran), a
largess for thee
And We reveal of the Quran that which is a
healing and a mercy for "believers" ......
Each one does according to his rule of conduct,
and your Lord is best aware of him whose way is
right
Verily, though mankind and Jinn should assemble
to produce the like of this Quran, they could not
produce the like thereof though they were
helpers one of another.
Verily We have displayed for mankind in Quran
all kinds of similitudes, but.........
With truth have We sent it(Quran) down, and
with truth has it descended
And you (Muhammad, pbuh) be not loud voiced
in your worship nor yet silent therein, but follow
a way between
Who has no partner in the Sovereignty, nor has
He any protecting friend through dependence
Allah has not placed in Quran any crookedness

Lo! We have placed all that is in the earth as an

ornament thereof that We may try them: which
of them is best in conduct
And say not of anything: Lo! I shall do that
tomorrow, except if Allah will.
and He makes none to share in His government
There is none who can change His words

Armlets of gold, green robes of finest silk and

gold embroidery, reclining upon thrones therein,
only for Believers and doer of good works
Wealth and children are an ornament of life of
the world
..all save Iblis. He was of the Jinn, so he rebelled...
...but man is more than anything contentious

Lo! on their hearts We have placed coverings so

that they understand not, and in their ears a
deafness....
If He took them to task (now) for what they earn,
He would hasten on the doom for them; but
theirs is an appointed term....
