Sura 11 Hud (Hud)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[11:1] A.L.R. A Book whose verses have been perfected, then detailed from One who is Wise, All-Aware.

[11:2] "Do not worship except God. I am a warner and bearer of good news from Him to you.

[11:3] And ask your Lord for forgiveness, then repent to Him. He will then let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and will grant every doer of favour His favour. But if you turn away, then I fear for you the punishment of a great Day.

[11:4] To God is your return, and He is Capable of all things."

[11:5] Indeed, they keep the contents of their chests under wraps so as to hide from Him. But even when they cover themselves with their clothes, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He is Knowledgeable of what the chests hold.

[11:6] There is not a single creature in the earth whose provision is not due from God. He knows its place of settlement and its depository. All are in a clear Book.

[11:7] He is the One who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and His Throne was upon the water so that He may test you as to whose work is better. If you were to say, "You will be resurrected after death," those who disbelieve would say, "This is nothing but clear magic."

[11:8] And if We delay the punishment due to them for a calculated period of time, they would say, "What withholds it?" In fact, on the Day it comes to them, it will not be averted from them, and that which they used to mock will engulf them.

[11:9] And if We let the human being taste some mercy from Us, then snatch it away, he becomes despondent, ungrateful.

[11:10] And if We let him taste a blessing after hardship had touched him, he would say, "Evil has left me." He then turns happy and boastful.

[11:11] But not so those who are patient and do good deeds. They shall have forgiveness and a great reward.

[11:12] Perhaps you wish to abandon some of what is being revealed to you, and your chest is getting distressed by it because they say, "If only a treasure was brought down upon him, or an angel had come with him!" You are but a warner, and God is Trustee over all things.

[11:13] Or do they say, "He fabricated it"? Say, "Then produce ten fabricated Suras of its like, and call upon whomever you can besides God if you are truthful."

[11:14] If they do not respond to you, then know that it has been brought down with God's knowledge and that there is no god except Him. Are you then Submitters?

[11:15] Those who seek the worldly life and its zinat, We will pay them in full for their work therein, and they will not be underpaid.

[11:16] Those are the ones who shall have nothing in the Hereafter but the Fire. Their work therein was nullified, and what they used to do was worthless.

[11:17] As for the one who is upon a clear proof from his Lord, and is followed by a witness from Him, and before it the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy; they believe in it. The one who disbelieves in it from amongst the various factions, the Fire will be his appointed place. So be in no doubt about it. It is the truth from your Lord, yet most people do not believe.

[11:18] Who is more transgressing than one who fabricates lies about God? Those will be displayed before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied about their Lord." Indeed, God's curse is on the transgressors
