14:38
“O our Lord! truly Thou dost know what we conceal and
what we reveal: for nothing whatever is hidden from
Allah, whether on earth or in heaven.
14:39
“Praise be to Allah, Who hath granted unto me in old age
Isma’il and Isaac: for truly my Lord is He, the Hearer of
Prayer!
14:40
O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer,
and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord!
and accept Thou my Prayer.
14:41
“O our Lord! cover (us) with Thy Forgiveness – me, my
parents, and (all) Believers, on the Day that the
Reckoning will be established!
14:42
Think not that Allah doth not heed the deeds of those who
do wrong. He but giveth them respite against a Day when
the eyes will fixedly stare in horror,-
14:43
They running forward with necks outstretched, their
heads uplifted, their gaze returning not towards them, and
their hearts a (gaping) void!
14:44
So warn mankind of the Day when the Wrath will reach
them: then will the wrong doers say: “Our Lord! respite
us (if only) for a short term: we will answer Thy call, and
follow the messengers!” “What! were ye not wont to
swear aforetime that ye should suffer no decline?
14:45
“And ye dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged
their own souls; ye were clearly shown how We dealt
with them; and We put forth (many) parables in your
behoof!”
14:46
Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but their
plots were (well) within the sight of Allah, even though
they were such as to shake the hills!
14:47
Never think that Allah would fail his messengers in His
promise: for Allah is Exalted in power, –the Lord of
Retribution.
