AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) : 1-8

AL-KAHF (THE CAVE) : 1-8

18: 1. Praise be to Allah, Who hath sent to His Servant the Book, and hath allowed therein no Crookedness:
18: 2. (He hath made it) Straight (and Clear) in order that He may warn (the godless) of a terrible Punishment from Him, and that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward,

18: 3. Wherein they shall remain for ever:
18: 4. Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, "Allah hath begotten a son":
18: 5. No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!

18: 6. Thou wouldst only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in grief, if they believe not in this Message.
18: 7. That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
18: 8. Verily what is on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).
