Podcast Al Quran #212 Juz 13 QS 14 Ibrahim 22-37

[Quran Chapter 14] 22. And Satan will say, when the issue is settled, "Allah has promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your aid, nor can you come to my aid. I reject your associating with me in the past. The wrongdoers will have a torment most painful." 23. But those who believed and did good deeds will be admitted into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to remain therein forever, by leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: "Peace." 24. Do you not see how Allah presents a parable? A good word is like a good tree—its root is firm, and its branches are in the sky. 25. It yields its fruits every season by the will of its Lord. Allah presents the parables to the people, so that they may reflect. 26. And the parable of a bad word is that of a bad tree—it is uprooted from the ground; it has no stability. 27. Allah gives firmness to those who believe, with the firm word, in this life, and in the Hereafter. And Allah leads the wicked astray. Allah does whatever He wills. 28. Have you not seen those who exchanged the blessing of Allah with blasphemy, and landed their people into the house of perdition? 29. Hell—they will roast in it. What a miserable settlement. 30. And they set up rivals to Allah, in order to lead away from His path. Say, "Enjoy yourselves; your destination is the Fire." 31. Tell My servants who have believed to perform the prayers, and to give from what We have given them, secretly and publicly, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading nor friendship. 32. Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down water from the sky, and with it produces fruits for your sustenance. And He committed the ships to your service, sailing through the sea by His command, and He committed the rivers to your service. 33. And He committed the sun and the moon to your service, both continuously pursuing their courses, and He committed the night and the day to your service. 34. And He has given you something of all what you asked. And if you were to count Allah's blessings, you would not be able to enumerate them. The human being is unfair and ungrateful. 35. Recall that Abraham said, "O my Lord, make this land peaceful, and keep me and my sons from worshiping idols." 36. "My Lord, they have led many people astray. Whoever follows me belongs with me; and whoever disobeys me—You are Forgiving and Merciful. 37. "Our Lord, I have settled some of my offspring in a valley of no vegetation, by Your Sacred House, our Lord, so that they may perform the prayers. So make the hearts of some people incline towards them, and provide them with fruits, that they may be thankful."
