1. MUTUAL LOSS AND GAIN (at-
Taghabun)
In the reality of The One To Serve/Allah, the Beneficent, the Ever Giving.
1. Everything in the universe and the earth perform for/praises The One To
Serve/Allah. To The One belongs the Dominion, and to The One all praise
is due, and The One is Able to do all things.
2. It is The One who created you. Some of you are are convinced, and some
of you are not convinced. And The One To Serve/Allah perceives what
you do.
3. The One created the universe and the earth with truth, and The One
designed you, and designed you well, and to The One is the final return.
4. The One knows everything in the universe and the earth, and The One
knows what you conceal and what you reveal. And The One To
Serve/Allah knows what is within the hearts.
5. Has not the news reached you, of those who are not convinced before?
They tasted the ill consequences of their conduct, and a painful torment
awaits them.
6. That is as because their messengers came to them with clear
explanations, but they said, “Are human beings going to guide us?” So
they are not convinced and turned away. But The One To Serve/Allah is
in no need. The One To Serve/Allah is Independent and Praiseworthy.
2. 7. Those who are not convinced claim that they will not be resurrected. Say,
“Yes indeed, by my Regulator, you will be resurrected; then you will be
informed of everything you did; and that is easy for The One To
Serve/Allah.”
8. So be convinced in The One To Serve/Allah and The One’s Messenger,
and the Light/Energy which The One sent down. The One To Serve/Allah
is Aware of everything you do.
9. The Day when The One gathers you for the Day of Gathering—that is the
Day of Mutual Exchange. Whoever are convinced in The One To
Serve/Allah and acts with integrity, The One will remit his misdeeds, and
will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to stay therein
forever. That is the supreme achievement.
10. But as for those who are not convinced and denounce The One’s
revelations—these are the inmates of the Fire, staying therein; and what
a miserable fate!
11. No disaster occurs except by The One To Serve/Allah’s leave. Whoever
are convinced in The One To Serve/Allah, The One guides his heart. The
One To Serve/Allah is Aware of everything.
12. So obey The One To Serve/Allah, and obey the Messenger. But if you
turn away—it is only incumbent on The One’s Messenger to deliver the
clear message.
13. The One To Serve/Allah, there is none To Serve but The One; and in The
One To Serve/Allah let the convinced put their trust.
3. 14. O you who are convinced! Among your wives and your children are
enemies to you, so beware of them. But if you pardon, and overlook,
and forgive— The One To Serve/Allah is Forgiver and Merciful.
15. Your possessions and your children are a test, but with The One To
Serve/Allah is a splendid reward.
16. So be conscious of The One To Serve/Allah as much as you can, and
listen, and obey, and give for your own good. Whoever is protected from
his stinginess—these are the prosperous.
17. If you lend The One To Serve/Allah a good loan, The One will multiply it
for you, and will forgive you. The One To Serve/Allah is Appreciative and
Forbearing.
18. The Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, the Almighty, the Wise.
