Chapter 64: Gathering at-Taghabun

Table of Contents

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful

Everything in the heavens and the earth praises God
To Him belongs the Kingdom, and to Him all praise is due, and He is Able to do all things

It is He who created you
Some of you are unbelievers, and some of you are believers
And God perceives what you do

He created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He designed you, and designed you well, and to Him is the final return
He knows everything in the heavens and the earth, and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal
And God knows what is within the hearts

Has the news not reached you, of those who disbelieved before?
They tasted the ill consequences of their conduct, and a painful torment awaits them
That is because their messengers came to them with clear explanations, but they said, “Are human beings going to guide us?” So they disbelieved and turned away
But God is in no need
God is Independent and Praiseworthy

Those who disbelieve claim that they will not be resurrected
Say, “Yes indeed, by my Lord, you will be resurrected; then you will be informed of everything you did; and that is easy for God”
So believe in God and His Messenger, and the Light which We sent down
God is Aware of everything you do

The Day when He gathers you for the Day of Gathering—that is the Day of Mutual Exchange
Whoever believes in God and acts with integrity, He will remit his misdeeds, and will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever
That is the supreme achievement

But as for those who disbelieve and denounce Our revelations—these are the inmates of the Fire, dwelling therein forever; and what a miserable fate!
No disaster occurs except by God’s leave
Whoever believes in God, He guides his heart
God is Aware of everything

So obey God, and obey the Messenger
But if you turn away—it is only incumbent on Our Messenger to deliver the clear message
God, there is no god but He; and in God let the believers put their trust

O you who believe!
Among your wives and your children are enemies to you, so beware of them
But if you pardon, and overlook, and forgive—God is Forgiver and Merciful

Your possessions and your children are a test, but with God is a splendid reward
So be conscious of God as much as you can, and listen, and obey, and give for your own good
He who is protected from his stinginess—these are the prosperous

If you lend God a good loan, He will multiply it for you, and will forgive you
God is Appreciative and Forbearing
The Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, the Almighty, the Wise
