Let us continue with selections from Sūra 25: Furqān, or The Criterion in the Holy Qur’an. This surah details the Divine revelations to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him), revealing the Greatness of Allah the Most High, His guiding verses on the path of truth, how it is distinguished from the path of falsehood, and how repentance can lead us back on the right path. “[…] But thee We only sent To give glad tidings And admonition. Say: ‘No reward do I Ask of you for it but this: That each one who will May take a (straight) Path To his Lord.’ And put thy trust In Him Who lives And dies not; and celebrate His praise; and enough is He To be acquainted with The faults of His servants; He Who created the Heavens And the Earth and all That is between, in six days, And is firmly established On the Throne (of authority): GOD Most Gracious: Ask thou, then, about Him Of any acquainted (with such things). […]”“Blessed is He Who made Constellations in the skies, And placed therein a Lamp And a Moon giving light; And it is He Who made The Night and the Day To follow each other: For such as have the will To celebrate His praises Or to show their gratitude. And the servants of (GOD) Most Gracious are those Who walk on the Earth In humility, and when the ignorant Address them, they say, ‘Peace!’ Those who spend the night In adoration of their Lord Prostrate and standing; Those who say, ‘Our Lord! Avert from us the Wrath Of Hell, for its Wrath Is indeed an affliction grievous, “Evil indeed is it As an abode, and as A place to rest in;”’ Those who, when they spend, Are not extravagant and not Niggardly, but hold a just (balance) Between those (extremes); Those who invoke not, With GOD, any other god, Nor slay such life as GOD Has made sacred, […] except For just cause, nor commit Fornication; and any that does This (not only) meets punishment (But) the Penalty on the Day Of Judgment will be doubled To him, and he will dwell Therein in ignominy, Unless he repents, believes, And works righteous deeds, For GOD will change The evil of such persons Into good, and GOD is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, And whoever repents and does good Has truly turned to GOD With an (acceptable) conversion; Those who witness no falsehood; And, if they pass by futility, They pass by it With honorable (avoidance); Those who, when they are Admonished with the Signs Of their Lord, droop not down At them as if they were Deaf or blind; And these who pray, ‘Our Lord! Grant unto us Wives and offspring who will be The comfort of our eyes, And give us (the grace) To lead the righteous.’ Those are the ones who Will be rewarded with The highest place in Heaven, Because of their patient constancy: Therein shall they be met With salutations and peace, Dwelling therein; how beautiful An abode and place of rest!”
