SURAT FATIR OR AL-MALA'IKAH ( THE ORIGINATEOR OF CREATION, OR THE ANGELS) XXXV

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL.

1. ALL PRAISE AND THANKS ARE ALLAH'S, THE (ONLY ) ORIGINATEOR [OR THE (ONLY) CREATOR] OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, WHO MADE THE ANGELS MESSENGERS WITH WINGS, TWO OR THREE OR FOUR. HE INCREASES IN CREATION WHAT HE WILLS. VERILY, ALLAH IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS.

2. WHATEVER OF MERCY (I. E. OF GOOD), ALLAH MAY GRANT TO MANKIND, NONE CAN WITHHOLD IT; AND WHATEVER HE MAY WITHHOLD, NONE CAN GRANT IT THEREAFTER. AND HE IS THE ALL-MIGHTY, THE ALL-WISE.

3. O MANKIND! REMEMBER THE GRACE OF ALLAH UPON YOU! IS THERE ANY CREATEOR OTHER THAN ALLAH WHO PROVIDES FOR YOU FROM THE SKY (RAIN) AND THE EARTH? LA ILAHA ILLA HUWA (NONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPPED BUT HE). HOW THEN ARE YOU TURNING AWAY (FROM HIM) ?

4. AND IF THEY DENY YOU ( O MUHAMMAD [PEACE BE UPON HIM] , SO WERE MESSENGERS DENIED BEFORE YOU. AND TO ALLAH RETURN ALL MATTERS (FOR DECISION).

5. O MANKIND ! VERILY, THE PROMISE OF ALLAH IS TRUE . SO LET NOT THIS PRESENT LIFE DECEIVE YOU, AND LET NOT THE CHIEF DECEIVER ( SATAN) DECEIVE YOU ABOUT ALLAH.
