Glorified and Exalted be He above all that they associate (with Him).” (16:1) 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:34.020 Exalted and high is He above what they associate with Him. 00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:38.420 The command of Allah has come, meaning the Hour is near. 00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:40.899 And your punishment has arrived. 00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:43.820 It has drawn near and approached you, O people. 00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:46.420 So do not seek to hasten its occurrence. 00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:52.259 Declaring Allah free from and exalted above the polytheism that the Quraysh practiced. 00:00:52.259 --> 00:01:04.890 “He sendeth down the angels with the Spirit of His command unto whom He will of His bondmen, (saying): Warn mankind that there is no Allah save Me, so keep your duty unto Me.” (16:2) 00:01:05.049 --> 00:01:13.250 “He sendeth down the angels with the Spirit of His command unto whom He will of His bondmen, (saying): Warn mankind that there is no Allah save Me, so keep your duty unto Me.” (16:2) 00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:20.939 Allah sends down His angels with His command, through which the truth is brought to life and falsehood is eradicated. 00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:23.299 Upon whomsoever He wills of His messengers. 00:01:23.299 --> 00:01:26.180 [Commanding them] to warn My servants of My power and retribution. 00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:29.700 For divinity is not appropriate for any but Me. 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:32.900 And it is not fitting that anything be worshipped other than Me. 00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:36.060 So fear Me by fulfilling My obligatory commands. 00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:41.530 And by singling out worship and sincere devotion to My Lordship alone. 00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:45.849 He created the heavens and the earth in truth. 00:01:45.849 --> 00:01:51.459 Exalted is He above what they associate with Him. 00:01:51.459 --> 00:01:56.060 Your Lord, O people, created the heavens and the earth with justice. 00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:58.140 He is unique in their creation. 00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:02.299 No partner shared with Him in their origination and bringing into existence. 00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:08.699 [He calls] you, O people, away from your polytheism and your claims to [false deities]. 00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:19.159 “He hath created man from a drop of fluid, yet behold! he is an open opponent.” (16:4) 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:21.719 “He hath created man from a drop of fluid, yet behold! he is an open opponent.” (16:4) 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.599 He created a wondrous being from a despised fluid. 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.000 Then He brought him out into the light of the world after his creation was completed. 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.080 And He breathed the soul into him. 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.599 Yet when he stands firmly on his own, he denies the favor of his Lord. 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.039 He rejects his Creator and disputes with his God. 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:46.000 He manifests his hostility through his speech and argues with his tongue. 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.000 And the grazing livestock, He created them. 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:57.240 “And the cattle hath He created, whence ye have warm clothing and uses, and whereof ye eat;” (16:5) 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.240 Among His proofs against you, O people, 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.560 Is what He created for you of the livestock. 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.439 He subjected them to your service. 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.319 And He provided you from their wool, their fur, and their hair 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.560 With clothing that provides you warmth. 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.000 And benefits from their milk. 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.719 And their backs, which you ride. 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.719 And from the livestock, there are those whose meat you eat, 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.039 Such as camels, cattle, and sheep, 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.500 And all other animals whose meat is lawful to eat. 00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:32.500 “And wherein is beauty for you, when ye bring them home, and when ye take them out to pasture.” (16:6) 00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:37.379 And you find beauty in these livestock when you bring them home in the evening 00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:42.060 From their pastures to the shelters where they reside. 00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:49.199 And at the time you drive them out in the morning from their pens to their pastures. 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:54.800 “And they bear your loads for you unto a land ye could not reach save with great trouble to yourselves. Lo! your Lord is Full of Pity, Merciful.” (16:7) 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.520 Except with great difficulty. 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:05.229 Indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful. 00:04:05.229 --> 00:04:09.629 These livestock carry your heavy loads to another land 00:04:09.629 --> 00:04:14.949 That you would not be able to reach except with great exertion of yourselves. 00:04:14.949 --> 00:04:19.189 Indeed, your Lord, O people, is full of kindness and mercy toward you, 00:04:19.189 --> 00:04:23.180 So that you may thank Him for His favors upon you. 00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:28.620 “And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not.” (16:8) 00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:33.060 “And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not.” (16:8) 00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:38.100 And He created horses, mules, and donkeys for you as well, so that you may ride them. 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:42.019 And He made them an adornment for you to beautify yourselves. 00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:44.860 And your Lord creates that which you do not know, 00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:49.660 Of what is prepared in Paradise for its people and in the Fire for its people, 00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:53.579 Things that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, 00:04:53.579 --> 00:04:57.579 And which have never crossed the heart of any human. 00:04:57.579 --> 00:05:04.019 And upon Allah is the [clarification of the] path, and among them are those that deviate. 00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:11.540 “And Allah's is the direction of the way, and some (roads) go not straight. And had He willed He would have led you all aright.” (16:9) 00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:15.779 Upon Allah, O people, rests the clarification of the path of truth for you, 00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:19.420 And the straight path that has no crookedness. 00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:22.980 And among the paths are those that have diverged from His way, 00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:28.139 Such as Judaism, Christianity, and other religions of disbelief. 00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:33.459 And had Allah willed, He would have guided all of you, O people, by His grace, 00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:40.379 So you would have been guided, adhered to the straight path, and not deviated from it. 00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:48.779 It is He who sends down rain from the sky. 00:05:48.779 --> 00:05:58.149 “He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, whence ye have drink, and whence are trees on which ye send your beasts to pasture.” (16:10) 00:05:58.189 --> 00:06:01.230 And the One who has bestowed these blessings upon you 00:06:01.230 --> 00:06:05.589 Is the Lord who sends down rain from the sky for you. 00:06:05.589 --> 00:06:08.910 From that water, you have drink to consume. 00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:11.670 And from it is the drink for your trees. 00:06:11.670 --> 00:06:18.550 And among the trees that grow from the water He sends down from the sky, you graze [your livestock]. 00:06:18.550 --> 00:06:26.069 “Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you, and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect.” (16:11) 00:06:26.069 --> 00:06:37.029 “Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you, and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect.” (16:11) 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:44.540 Your Lord causes your crops, olives, date palms, and grapevines to grow for you, 00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:49.740 And from all fruits, other than that, as provisions and sustenance for you. 00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:53.420 Indeed, in Allah’s bringing forth [sustenance] through what He sends down from the sky 00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:58.139 Is a clear sign for a people who accept the admonitions of Allah 00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:01.720 And reflect upon His proofs. 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:07.639 “And He hath constrained the night and the day and the sun and the moon to be of service unto you, and the stars are made subservient by His command. Lo! herein indeed are portents for people who have sense.” (16:12) 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:13.279 And the stars are subjected by His command. 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:22.310 Indeed, in that are signs for a people who use their intellect. 00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:25.269 And among His favors upon you, O people, 00:07:25.269 --> 00:07:30.110 Is that He subjected the night and the day to alternate for you. 00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:35.589 The former is for your livelihood, and the latter is for your rest. 00:07:35.589 --> 00:07:39.829 And the sun and the moon [are for] knowing your times. 00:07:39.829 --> 00:07:45.350 And the stars are subjected for you by the command of Allah, moving in their orbits. 00:07:45.350 --> 00:07:49.230 “And He it is Who hath set for you the stars that ye may guide your course by them amid the darkness of the land and the sea. We have detailed Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.” (6:97) 00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:52.990 Indeed, in Allah’s subjecting all that He has subjected 00:07:52.990 --> 00:07:58.899 Are clear signs for a people who understand the proofs of Allah. 00:07:58.899 --> 00:08:03.699 “And whatsoever He hath created for you in the earth of divers hues, lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who take heed.” (16:13) 00:08:03.699 --> 00:08:12.860 “And whatsoever He hath created for you in the earth of divers hues, lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who take heed.” (16:13) 00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:18.019 And He subjected for you what He created for you of animals of various colors, 00:08:18.019 --> 00:08:20.220 And of trees and fruits. 00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:24.300 “And whatsoever He hath created for you in the earth of divers hues, lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who take heed.” (16:13) 00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:36.220 “And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.” (16:14) 00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:41.740 “And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.” (16:14) 00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:44.500 “And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.” (16:14) 00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:50.940 And that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may be grateful. 00:08:52.309 --> 00:08:55.269 And the One who did these things for you 00:08:55.269 --> 00:08:57.870 Is the One who subjected the sea for you, 00:08:57.870 --> 00:09:02.149 Which includes every river, whether its water is salty or fresh. 00:09:02.149 --> 00:09:04.870 “And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.” (16:14) 00:09:04.870 --> 00:09:06.350 And it is the fish. 00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:10.110 “And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.” (16:14) 00:09:10.110 --> 00:09:12.830 And it is the pearls and coral. 00:09:12.830 --> 00:09:17.710 And you see the ships in those seas cleaving the water with their prows. 00:09:17.750 --> 00:09:22.710 That is, they pierce it as they split the water with their prows. 00:09:22.710 --> 00:09:26.789 And so that you may move about in search of your livelihood through trade, 00:09:26.789 --> 00:09:32.889 And so that you may thank your Lord for what He has bestowed upon you of that. 00:09:32.889 --> 00:09:37.809 And He cast into the earth firm mountains, lest it shake with you. 00:09:37.809 --> 00:09:46.860 “And He hath cast into the earth firm hills that it quake not with you, and streams and roads that ye may find a way.” (16:15) 00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:50.379 And among His favors upon you, O people, also, 00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:53.460 Is that He placed stable mountains in the earth, 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:55.659 So that it does not sway with you. 00:09:55.659 --> 00:09:58.059 And He made rivers therein. 00:09:58.059 --> 00:10:01.299 And He made for you paths that you may travel, 00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:04.620 And move about in them for your needs, 00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:09.419 So that you may be guided by these paths to the places you intend, 00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:13.340 So that you do not go astray or become confused. 00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:16.059 And landmarks. 00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:21.220 And by the stars they are guided. 00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:25.940 And He made for you, O people, landmarks and signs for the roads, 00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:30.539 By which you find your way during the day on your travels and journeys. 00:10:30.539 --> 00:10:36.340 And He made for you stars by which you are guided at night on your paths. 00:10:36.340 --> 00:10:40.620 “Is He then Who createth as him who createth not? Will ye not then remember?” (16:17) 00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:44.539 Will you not then remember? 00:10:44.539 --> 00:10:50.860 “And if ye would count the favour of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo! Allah is indeed Forgiving, Merciful.” (16:18) 00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:57.659 “And if ye would count the favour of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo! Allah is indeed Forgiving, Merciful.” (16:18) 00:10:57.659 --> 00:11:03.220 Is then He who creates these wondrous creatures like one who creates nothing? 00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:06.659 Will you not then remember the favors of Allah upon you? 00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:11.860 And if you should count the favor of Allah, you would not be able to fulfill the gratitude for it. 00:11:11.860 --> 00:11:19.059 Indeed, Allah is Forgiving of the shortcomings you may have had in thanking Him for some of that, if you repent. 00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:25.080 He is Merciful toward you, [refraining from] punishing you after you have turned back in repentance. 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:31.960 “And Allah knoweth that which ye keep hidden and that which ye proclaim.” (16:19) 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.440 And Allah, who is your God, O people, 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:40.679 Knows what you conceal within yourselves, hiding it from others, 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:45.480 And what you declare with your tongues, your limbs, and your actions. 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:51.350 He is the One who enumerates all of that and will recompense you for it on the Day of Resurrection. 00:11:51.350 --> 00:12:05.100 “Those unto whom they cry beside Allah created naught, but are themselves created.” (16:20) 00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:10.220 And your idols, whom you call upon besides Allah, O people, as gods, 00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:13.259 Do not create anything, while they themselves are created. 00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:17.580 So how can that which is manufactured and managed be a god? 00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:22.580 They possess no power to benefit or harm themselves. 00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:27.570 They are dead, not alive. 00:12:27.570 --> 00:12:33.799 And they do not perceive when they will be resurrected. 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.320 And those whom you call upon besides Allah, O people, 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.480 Are dead, not alive, 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:42.240 Since they have no souls within them. 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:47.519 And your idols that you call upon besides Allah do not know when they will be resurrected. 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:51.600 It has been said that this refers to the disbelievers, 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:56.009 [Meaning] that they do not know when they will be resurrected. 00:12:56.009 --> 00:13:00.610 Your God is one God. 00:13:00.610 --> 00:13:07.450 “Your Allah is One Allah. But as for those who believe not in the Hereafter their hearts refuse to know, for they are proud.” (16:22) 00:13:07.450 --> 00:13:16.980 “Your Allah is One Allah. But as for those who believe not in the Hereafter their hearts refuse to know, for they are proud.” (16:22) 00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:22.419 Your object of worship, who deserves your worship, is one God. 00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:26.659 As for those who do not believe in the return to Him after death, 00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:32.539 Their hearts deny what has been recounted to them of the power and greatness of Allah. 00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:36.340 And they are arrogant toward singling out Allah for divinity, 00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:40.450 And acknowledging His oneness. 00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:48.090 “Assuredly Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim. Lo! He loveth not the proud.” (16:23) 00:13:48.090 --> 00:13:55.379 “Assuredly Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim. Lo! He loveth not the proud.” (16:23) 00:13:55.379 --> 00:14:00.220 Truly, Allah knows what these polytheists conceal, 00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:04.820 Of their denial of what we have mentioned of the news in this Surah, 00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:09.100 And what they declare of their disbelief in Allah and their fabrication against Him. 00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:13.460 Indeed, Allah does not love those who are arrogant toward worshipping Him alone, 00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:18.710 And [refuse to] cast aside the gods and rivals they worship besides Him. 00:14:18.710 --> 00:14:23.710 “And when it is said unto them: What hath your Lord revealed? they say: (Mere) fables of the men of old,” (16:24) 00:14:23.710 --> 00:14:28.610 They said, "Legends of the former peoples." 00:14:28.610 --> 00:14:34.370 And when it is said to these polytheists who do not believe in the Hereafter, 00:14:34.370 --> 00:14:37.250 "What has your Lord sent down?" 00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:44.779 They say, "That which was sent down is what the former peoples before us wrote down of falsehoods." 00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:50.019 [They say this] so that they may bear their burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection. 00:14:50.019 --> 00:15:00.299 “That they may bear their burdens undiminished on the Day of Resurrection, with somewhat of the burdens of those whom they mislead without knowledge. Ah! evil is that which they bear!” (16:25) 00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:06.610 Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear. 00:15:06.610 --> 00:15:10.850 So that their sins, upon which they persist, may remain, 00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:16.649 From their denial of Allah and their disbelief in His Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:15:16.649 --> 00:15:20.889 And from the sins of those whom they divert from belief in Allah, 00:15:20.889 --> 00:15:23.929 Leading them astray without knowledge. 00:15:23.929 --> 00:15:26.690 Unquestionably, evil is the sin they commit, 00:15:26.690 --> 00:15:30.940 And the heavy burden they carry. 00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:34.379 Those before them had already plotted. 00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:43.620 “Those before them plotted, so Allah struck at the foundations of their building, and then the roof fell down upon them from above them, and the doom came on them whence they knew not;” (16:26) 00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:52.899 “Those before them plotted, so Allah struck at the foundations of their building, and then the roof fell down upon them from above them, and the doom came on them whence they knew not;” (16:26) 00:15:52.899 --> 00:15:57.620 “Those before them plotted, so Allah struck at the foundations of their building, and then the roof fell down upon them from above them, and the doom came on them whence they knew not;” (16:26) 00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:02.620 Those who lived before these polytheists had already plotted, 00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:05.299 Those who divert [people] from the way of Allah, 00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:07.980 [Those] who wanted to follow the religion of Allah. 00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:11.700 They sought to overcome Allah by a structure they built, 00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:13.620 Intending, by their claim, 00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:17.379 To ascend to the sky to fight those who are in it. 00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:20.940 So the roofs of their houses collapsed upon them, 00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:24.779 When the command of Allah came to their foundations and bases. 00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:27.700 And their dwellings were overturned upon them. 00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:31.539 And the punishment of Allah came upon these plotters 00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:36.259 From where they did not perceive that it had come to them. 00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:40.419 “Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and will say: Where are My partners, for whose sake ye opposed (My guidance)? Those who have been given knowledge will say: Disgrace this day and evil are upon the disbelievers,” (16:27) 00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:47.899 And He will say, "Where are My partners?" 00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:54.779 “Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and will say: Where are My partners, for whose sake ye opposed (My guidance)? Those who have been given knowledge will say: Disgrace this day and evil are upon the disbelievers,” (16:27) 00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:57.379 Those who were given knowledge will say, 00:16:57.419 --> 00:17:06.180 "Indeed, the disgrace and the evil today are upon the disbelievers." 00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:12.140 Allah did to these plotters what He did by hastening the punishment for them. 00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:16.099 Then, along with that, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them, 00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:19.140 Humiliating them with a painful punishment. 00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:21.099 And it will be said to them, 00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:25.700 "Where are My partners whom you used to claim in the world? 00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:29.460 Why do they not come to your aid and defend you?" 00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:33.059 For you used to worship them in the world. 00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:35.380 Those who were given knowledge will say, 00:17:35.380 --> 00:17:37.859 "Indeed, the humiliation and disgrace today, 00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:42.019 And the punishment of Allah, are upon the disbelievers." 00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:50.099 “Whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging themselves. Then will they make full submission (saying): We used not to do any wrong. Nay! Surely Allah is Knower of what ye used to do.” (16:28) 00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:57.660 “Whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging themselves. Then will they make full submission (saying): We used not to do any wrong. Nay! Surely Allah is Knower of what ye used to do.” (16:28) 00:17:57.660 --> 00:18:07.599 “Whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging themselves. Then will they make full submission (saying): We used not to do any wrong. Nay! Surely Allah is Knower of what ye used to do.” (16:28) 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.559 Those whose souls the angels take in death, 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.720 While they are in their state of disbelief and polytheism toward Allah. 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.799 So they submit to His command and yield to Him, 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:20.039 When they witness that death has come upon them. 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.119 And they say, "We were not doing any evil." 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.759 But Allah will refute them, saying, 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.200 "Nay, but you were doing evil." 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.759 “Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers), and to turn away from Allah's path him who believeth in Him, and to seek to make it crooked. And remember, when ye were but few, how He did multiply you. And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!” (7:86) 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.000 Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing of what you used to do in the world of His disobedience, 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.579 And you used to commit therein that which angers Him. 00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:46.099 “So enter the gates of hell, to dwell therein for ever. Woeful indeed will be the lodging of the arrogant.” (16:29) 00:18:46.099 --> 00:18:50.019 So how wretched is the residence of the arrogant.
