This Scripture is sent down from God the Mighty, the Wise.

It is We who sent down the Scripture to you [Prophet] with the Truth, so worship God with your total devotion:
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
39:3
أَلَا

ٱلدِّينُ
ٱلْخَالِصُ ۚ

ٱتَّخَذُوا۟

ٱللَّهَ

إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
لَا

ﲙ
true devotion is due to God alone. [As for] those who choose other protectors beside Him, saying, ‘We only worship them because they bring us nearer to God,’ God Himself will judge between them regarding their differences. God does not guide any ungrateful liar.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
39:4
لَّوْ

God could have chosen any of His creation He willed for offspring, but He is far above this! He is the One, the Almighty.

He created the heavens and earth for a true purpose; He wraps the night around the day and the day around the night; He has subjected the sun and moon to run their courses for an appointed time; He is truly the Mighty, the Forgiving.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
39:6

He created you all from a single being, from which He made its mate; He gave you four kinds of livestock in pairs; He creates you in your mothers’ wombs, in one stage after another, in threefold depths of darkness. Such is God, your Lord; He holds control, there is no god but Him. How can you turn away?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
39:7
إِن

If you are ungrateful, remember God has no need of you, yet He is not pleased by ingrati-tude in His servants; if you are grateful, He is pleased [to see] it in you. No soul will bear another’s burden. You will return to your Lord in the end and He will inform you of what you have done: He knows well what is in the depths of [your] hearts.

When man suffers some affliction, he prays to his Lord and turns to Him, but once he has been granted a favour from God, he forgets the One he had been praying to and sets up rivals to God, to make others stray from His path. Say, ‘Enjoy your ingratitude for a little while: you will be one of the inhabitants of the Fire.’

What about someone who worships devoutly during the night, bowing down, standing in prayer, ever mindful of the life to come, hoping for his Lord’s mercy? Say, ‘How can those who know be equal to those who do not know?’ Only those who have understanding will take heed.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘[God says], believing servants, be mindful of your Lord! Those who do good in this world will have a good reward- God’s earth is wide––and those who persevere patiently will be given a full and unstinting reward.’
