Is the one who temporarily takes away your souls at night as you sleep. And he is the one who knows the actions you do during the day when you are awake, he then raises you in the day after taking away your souls through sleep so that you may carry out your tasks. This will continue until the fixed period of your lives as known to Allah is over. Then you will return to him alone. When he will raise you on the day of rising. He will then tell you about what you used to do in the life of the world and will repay your actions. And Allah is the dominant and irresistible to whom everything is subjugated. He is above his servants in a manner that befits his majesty. May he be glorified? He sends over you all people, honorable angels who record your actions. This will continue until a person's life is brought to an end by the angel of death. And his aides take away their souls, the angel of death and his aides never fail to carry out what they are instructed to do. Then all those whose souls were taken away will be returned to Allah, the real master for him to repay their actions to him belongs the effect decision and fair judgment between them. He is the swiftest of those who take account as he will take all of them to account in one day, say, oh, messenger to these idols who rescues you and saves you from the calamity. You call on him alone humbling yourselves in secret and in public saying if our Lord delivers us from this destruction, we will certainly be of those who show thanks for his favors on us and we will not worship anyone besides him. Say to them, oh messenger, Allah is the one who rescues you from it and delivers you from every distress. Then you still associate others as partners with him. When you are in good times. What can be more wrong than this say to them? Oh Messenger Allah is the one able to send upon you a punishment that will come to you from above such as stones, thunder balls and fluids or that will come to you from below such as earthquakes and sinking into the ground. He can also come disunity between your hearts, making each person follow their desire and making you fight one another. Think or messenger about how I explain to them the evidence in various ways so that they realize that what you have brought to them is the truth and what they have is false. Your people have denied this Koran. Yet it is the truth about which there is no doubt that it is from a law say to them, oh Messenger, I am not responsible for your actions. I am only to warn you before a severe punishment. Everything has a time in which it occurs and an end point which it reaches, this includes your end results. You will soon come to know them when you are raised on the day of rising. When you oh Messenger see the idols speaking about my verses mockingly, then do not sit with them until they enter into a discussion free of such mockery. If Satan makes you forget and you do sit with them and after words, remember then leave that gathering and do not sit with those who overstep the limits.
