God
chapter 68 sura
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Noon. By the pen, and by what they inscribe.
2. By the grace of your Lord, you are not insane.
3. In fact, you will have a reward that will never end.
4. And you are of a great moral character.
5. You will see, and they will see.
6. Which of you is the afflicted.
7. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best the well-guided.
8. So do not obey the deniers.
9. They would like you to compromise, so they would compromise.
10. And do not obey any vile swearer.
11. Backbiter, spreader of slander.
12. Preventer of good, transgressor, sinner.
13. Rude and fake besides.
14. Just because he has money and children.
15. When Our Verses are recited to him, he says, “Myths of the ancients!”
16. We will brand him on the muzzle.
17. We tested them, as We tested the owners of the garden, when they vowed to harvest it in the morning.
18. Without any reservation.
19. But a calamity from your Lord went around it while they slept.
20. And in the morning it was as if picked.
21. In the morning, they called to one another.
22. “Go early to your plantation, if you are going to harvest.”
23. So off they went, murmuring to one another.
24. “No poor person is to enter it upon you today.”
25. And early they went, resolved in intent.
26. But when they saw it, they said, “We were wrong.
27. We are now deprived.”
28. The most reasonable of them said, “Did I not say to you, ‘if only you would glorify?’”
29. They said, “Glory to our Lord—We were indeed in the wrong.”
30. Then they turned to one another, blaming one another.
31. They said, “Woe to us—we were indeed domineering.
32. Perhaps our Lord will give us a better substitute for it. We are turning to our Lord.”
33. Such is the punishment; but the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
34. For the righteous are Gardens of Delight with their Lord.
35. Shall We treat the Muslims like the villains?
36. What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

39. Or do you have oaths from Us, binding until the Day of Resurrection, that you will have whatever you demand?
40. Ask them, which of them will guarantee that.
41. Or do they have partners? Then let them produce their partners, if they are truthful.
42. On the Day when the Shin will be exposed, and they will be called to bow down, but they will be unable.
43. Their eyes subdued, shame will cover them. They were invited to bow down when they were sound.
44. So leave Me to those who reject this discourse; We will proceed against them gradually, from where they do not know.
45. And I will give them respite. My plan is firm.
46. Or do you ask them for a fee, so they are burdened with debt?
47. Or do they know the future, and so they write it down?
48. So wait patiently for the Decision of your Lord, and do not be like the Fellow of the Fish who cried out in despair.
49. Were it not for his Lord’s favor that reached him, he would have been thrown into the wilderness, fully despised.
50. But his Lord chose him, and made him one of the righteous.
51. Those who disbelieve almost stab you with their glances when they hear the message, and say, “He is crazy!”
52. But it is no less than a reminder to all the Worlds.

Quran عe
God
chapter 62 sura
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies God the Sovereign, the Holy, the Almighty, the Wise.
2. It is He who sent among the unlettered a messenger from themselves; reciting His revelations to them, and purifying them, and teaching them the Scripture and wisdom; although they were in obvious error before that.
3. And others from them, who have not yet joined them. He is the Glorious, the Wise.
4. That is God’s grace, which He grants to whomever He wills. God is Possessor of limitless grace.
5. The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah, but then failed to uphold it, is like the donkey carrying works of literature. Miserable is the example of the people who denounce God’s revelations. God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
6. Say, “O you who follow Judaism; if you claim to be the chosen of God, to the exclusion of the rest of mankind, then wish for death if you are sincere.”
7. But they will not wish for it, ever, due to what their hands have advanced. God knows well the wrongdoers.
8. Say, “The death from which you flee will catch up with you; then you will be returned to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”
9. O you who believe! When the call is made for prayer on Congregation Day, hasten to the remembrance of God, and drop all business. That is better for you, if you only knew.
10. Then, when the prayer is concluded, disperse through the land, and seek God’s bounty, and remember God much, so that you may prosper.
11. Yet whenever they come across some business, or some entertainment, they scramble towards it, and leave you standing. Say, “What is with God is better than entertainment and business; and God is the Best of providers.”

Psalm 68
King James Version
68 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
Psalm 62[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3 How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.[b]
5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
9 Surely the lowborn are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion
or put vain hope in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11 One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,
12 and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have done.”
