#400 Podcast Al Qur'an Juz 24 Surah 39 Az Zumar verses 42-52

[Quran Chapter 39] 42. God takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that have not died during their sleep. He retains those for which He has decreed death, and He releases the others until a predetermined time. In that are signs for people who reflect. 43. Or have they chosen intercessors other than God? Say, "Even though they have no power over anything, and are devoid of reason?" 44. Say, "All intercession is up to God. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned." 45. When God alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with resentment. But when those other than Him are mentioned, they become filled with joy. 46. Say, "Our God, Initiator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of all secrets and declarations. You will judge between your servants regarding what they had differed about." 47. If those who did wrong owned everything on earth, and the like of it with it, they would redeem themselves with it from the terrible suffering on the Day of Resurrection. But there will appear to them from God what they never anticipated. 48. There will appear to them the evils of their deeds, and they will be surrounded by what they used to ridicule. 49. When adversity touches the human being, he calls on Us. But then, when We favor him with a blessing from Us, he says, "I have attained this by virtue of my knowledge." However, it is a test, but most of them do not know. 50. Those before them said it, but what they had earned did not avail them. 51. The evils of their deeds caught up with them. And the wrongdoers among these will also be afflicted by the evils of what they earned, and they cannot prevent it. 52. Do they not know that God extends the provision to whomever He wills, and constricts it? In that are signs for people who believe.
