Sura - 25 The Statute Book (Al-Furqan) |
[25:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[25:1] Most blessed is the One who revealed the Statute
Book to His servant, so he can serve as a warner to the whole world.
[25:3] Yet, they set up beside Him gods who do not
create anything - they themselves are created - and who possess no power
to even harm or benefit themselves, nor do they possess any power to control
life, or death, or resurrection.
*25:2 When we launch astronauts into space, we measure precisely the amount
of food, water, oxygen, and other needs throughout the journey. Similarly,
God has launched us into space-on board spaceship Earth-and He has designed
all kinds of renewable provisions for us and other creatures, a perfect design.
Think, for example, of the symbiotic relationship between us and the plants;
we use the oxygen they produce in photosynthesis, while they use the carbon
dioxide we produce in respiration.
The Disbelievers Rebutted by the Quran's
Mathematical Code
[25:4] Those who disbelieved said, "This is a fabrication
that he produced, with the help of some other people." They have uttered
a blasphemy and a falsehood.
[25:5] They also said, "Tales from the past that
he wrote down; they were dictated to him day and night."
[25:6] Say, "This was revealed by the One who knows
the Secret in the heavens and the earth. He is Forgiving, Most
Merciful."
Typical Utterances of
Disbelievers
[25:7] And they said, "How come this messenger eats
the food and walks in the markets? If only an angel could come down with
him, to serve with him as a preacher!"
[25:8] Or, "If only a treasure could be given to
him!" Or, "If only he could possess an orchard from which he eats!" The
transgressors also said, "You are following a bewitched man."
[25:9] Note how they called you all kinds of names,
and how this led them astray, never to find their way back.
[25:10] Most blessed is the One who can, if He wills,
give you much better than their demands - gardens with flowing streams, and
many mansions.
The Real Reason
[25:11] In fact, they have disbelieved in the Hour
(Day of Resurrection), and we have prepared for those who disbelieve in the
Hour a flaming Hell.
*25:5 Muhammad's contemporaries knew that he was a literate man who could read
and write; he wrote God's revelations with his own hand (see
Appendix
28).
*25:6 The Quran's miraculous mathematical code, the incontrovertible answer to the disbelievers' claims, remained a divinely guarded secret for 1400 years. God's Messenger of the Covenant was destined to unveil it by God's leave (Appendices 1, 2, & 26).
Retribution for the Disbelievers
[25:13] And when they are thrown into it, through
a narrow place, all shackled, they will declare their remorse.
[25:14] You will not declare just a single remorse,
on that day; you will suffer through a great number of remorses.
[25:12] When it sees them from afar, they will hear its rage
and fuming.
Reward for the
Righteous
[25:15] Say, "Is this better or the eternal Paradise
that is promised for the righteous? It is their well deserved reward; a well
deserved destiny."
[25:16] They get anything they wish therein, forever.
This is your Lord's irrevocable promise.
[25:17] On the day when He summons them, together
with the idols they had set up beside GOD, He will say, "Have you misled
these servants of Mine, or did they go astray on their own?"
[25:18] They will say, "Be You glorified, it was
not right for us to set up any lords beside You. But You allowed them to
enjoy, together with their parents. Consequently, they disregarded the message
and thus became wicked people."
[25:19] They have disbelieved in the message you
have given them, and, consequently, you can neither protect them from the
retribution they have incurred, nor can you help them in any way. Anyone
among you who commits evil, we will commit him to severe retribution.
Messengers Are Just Human
Beings
[25:20] We did not send any messengers before you
who did not eat food and walk in the markets. We thus test you by each other;
will you steadfastly persevere? Your Lord is Seer.
[25:21] Those who do not expect to meet us said,
"If only the angels could come down to us, or we could see our Lord (we would
then believe)!" Indeed, they have committed a gross arrogance, and have produced
a gross blasphemy.
[25:22] The day they see the angels, it will not
be good news for the guilty; they will say, "Now, we are irreversibly
confined."
[25:23] We will look at all the works they have
done, and render them null and void.
[25:24] The dwellers of Paradise are far better
on that day; they will hear better news.
[25:25] The heaven will break apart, into masses
of clouds, and the angels will descend in multitudes.
[25:26] All sovereignty on that day belongs to
the Most Gracious. For the disbelievers, it will be a difficult day.
God's Messenger of the
Covenant*
[25:27] The day will come when the transgressor
will bite his hands (in anguish) and say, "Alas, I wish I had followed the
path with the messenger.
[25:28] "Alas, woe to me, I wish I did not take
that person as a friend.
[25:29] "He has led me away from the message after
it came to me. Indeed, the devil lets down his human victims."
[25:30] The messenger said, "My Lord, my people
have deserted this Quran."
[25:31] We also set up against every prophet enemies
from among the guilty. Your Lord suffices as a guide, a master.
*25:27-30 This verse refers also to God's Messenger of the Covenant whose
name is mathematically coded in the Quran as ``Rashad Khalifa.'' If you write
down the gematrical value of ``Rashad'' (505), followed by the gematrical
value of ``Khalifa'' (725), followed by this sura number (25), followed by
verses 27, 28, 29, and 30, the final number (5057252527282930) is a multiple of
19 (see Appendices
2
&
26 for details).
The prophet Muhammad will also make such a statement as in
25:30 on the Day of
Judgment.
God's Evidence is Overwhelming
[25:34] Those who are forcibly summoned to Hell
are in the worst position; they are the farthest from the right path.
[25:35] We have given Moses the scripture, and
appointed his brother Aaron to be his assistant.
[25:36] We said, "Go, both of you, to the people
who rejected our revelations," and subsequently, we utterly annihilated the
rejectors.
[25:37] Similarly, when the people of Noah disbelieved
the messengers, we drowned them, and we set them up as a sign for the people.
We have prepared for the transgressors a painful retribution.
[25:38] Also `Aad, Thamoud, the inhabitants of
Al-Russ, and many generations between them.
[25:39] To each of these groups, we delivered
sufficient examples, before we annihilated them.
[25:40] They have passed by the community that
was showered with a miserable shower (Sodom). Did they not see it? The fact
is, they never believed in resurrection.
Messengers Ridiculed
[25:41] When they saw you, they always ridiculed
you: "Is this the one chosen by GOD to be a messenger?
[25:42] "He almost diverted us from our gods, if
it were not that we steadfastly persevered with them." They will certainly
find out, when they see the retribution, who are the real strayers from the
path.
The Ego as a god
[25:43] Have you seen the one whose god is his
own ego? Will you be his advocate?
[25:44] Do you think that most of them hear, or
understand? They are just like animals; no, they are far worse.
Infinite Blessings From
God
[25:45] Have you not seen how your Lord designed
the shadow? If He willed, He could have made it fixed, then we would have
designed the sun accordingly.
[25:46] But we designed it to move slowly.
[25:47] He is the One who designed the night to
be a cover, and for you to sleep and rest. And He made the day a
resurrection.
[25:48] He is the One who sends the winds with
good omens of His mercy, and we send down from the sky pure water.
[25:49] With it, we revive dead lands and provide
drink for our creations - multitudes of animals and humans.
[25:50] We have distributed it among them in exact
measure, that they may take heed. But most people insist upon
disbelieving.
[25:51] If we willed, we could have sent to every
community a warner.
[25:52] Therefore, do not obey the disbelievers,
and strive against them with this, a great striving.
[25:53] He is the One who merges the two seas;
one is fresh and palatable, while the other is salty and undrinkable. And
He separated them with a formidable, inviolable barrier
(evaporation).
[25:54] He is the One who created from water a
human being, then made him reproduce through marriage and mating. Your Lord
is Omnipotent.
[25:55] Yet, they still set up beside GOD idols
that cannot benefit them, nor harm them. Indeed, the disbeliever is an enemy
of his Lord.
[25:56] We have sent you (Rashad) as a deliverer
of good news, as well as a warner.
[25:57] Say, "I do not ask you for any money. All
I seek is to help you find the right path to your Lord, if this is what you
choose."
The Prophets and the Saints Are
Dead
[25:58] You shall put your trust in the One who
is Alive - the One who never dies - and praise Him and glorify Him. He is
fully Cognizant of His creatures' sins.
[25:59] He is the One who created the heavens and
the earth, and everything between them, in six days, then assumed all authority.
The Most Gracious; ask about Him those who are well founded in
knowledge.
The Unappreciative
Human
[25:60] When they are told, "Fall prostrate before
the Most Gracious," they say, "What is the Most Gracious? Shall we prostrate
before what you advocate?" Thus, it only augments their aversion.
[25:61] Most blessed is the One who placed
constellations in the sky, and placed in it a lamp, and a shining
moon.
[25:62] He is the One who designed the night and
the day to alternate: a sufficient proof for those who wish to take heed,
or to be appreciative.
Traits of the
Righteous
[25:63] The worshipers of the Most Gracious are
those who tread the earth gently, and when the ignorant speak to them, they
only utter peace.
[25:64] In the privacy of the night, they meditate
on their Lord, and fall prostrate.
[25:65] And they say, "Our Lord, spare us the agony
of Hell; its retribution is horrendous.
[25:66] "It is the worst abode; the worst
destiny."
[25:68] They never implore beside GOD any other
god, nor do they kill anyone - for GOD has made life sacred - except in the
course of justice. Nor do they commit adultery. Those who commit these offenses
will have to pay.
[25:69] Retribution is doubled for them on the
Day of Resurrection, and they abide therein humiliated.
[25:70] Exempted are those who repent, believe,
and lead a righteous life. GOD transforms their sins into credits. GOD is
Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[25:71] Those who repent and lead a righteous life,
GOD redeems them; a complete redemption.
[25:72] They do not bear false witness. When they
encounter vain talk, they ignore it.
*25:56 The gematrical value of "Rashad Khalifa" (1230), plus the sura and
verse number (25+56) give a total of
1230+25+56=1311=19x69.
Additional Traits of the
Righteous
[25:73] When reminded of their Lord's revelations,
they never react to them as if they were deaf and blind.
[25:74] And they say, "Our Lord, let our spouses
and children be a source of joy for us, and keep us in the forefront of the
righteous."
[25:75] These are the ones who attain Paradise
in return for their steadfastness; they are received therein with joyous
greetings and peace.
[25:76] Eternally they abide therein; what a beautiful
destiny; what a beautiful abode.
