this is because God is the Truth; He brings the dead back to life; He has power over everything.
— Abdul Haleem
There is no doubt that the Last Hour is bound to come, nor that God will raise the dead from their graves,
— Abdul Haleem
yet still there are some who, with no knowledge or guidance or any book of enlightenment, argue about God,
— Abdul Haleem
turning scornfully aside to lead others away from God’s path. Disgrace in this world awaits such a person and, on the Day of Resurrection, We shall make him taste the suffering of the Fire.
— Abdul Haleem
[It will be said], ‘This is for what you have stored up with your own hands: God is never unjust to His creatures.’
— Abdul Haleem
There are also some who serve God with unsteady faith: if something good comes their way, they are satisfied, but if they are tested, they revert to their old ways, losing both this world and the next- that is the clearest loss.
— Abdul Haleem
Instead of God, they call upon what can neither harm nor help them- that is straying far away-
— Abdul Haleem
or invoke one whose harm is closer than his help: an evil master and an evil companion.
— Abdul Haleem
But God will admit those who believe and do good deeds to Gardens graced with flowing streams. God does whatever He wishes.
— Abdul Haleem
Anyone who thinks that God will not support him in this world and the next should stretch a rope up to the sky, climb all the way up it, and see whether this strategy removes the cause of his anger.
