(in) private consultation.
Lost indeed are they who treat it as a falsehood that they must meet Allah,- until on a sudden the hour is on them, and they say: "Ah! woe unto us that we took no thought of it"; for they bear their burdens on their backs, and evil indeed are the burdens that they bear?
There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.
"Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!'-
Now when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph? Therefore will I not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allah commands me; and He is the best to command.
And keep thy soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face; and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; no obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds.
They attribute to Allah what they hate (for themselves), and their tongues assert the falsehood that all good things are for themselves: without doubt for them is the Fire, and they will be the first to be hastened on into it!
They (Moses and Aaron) said: "Our Lord! We fear lest he hasten with insolence against us, or lest he transgress all bounds."
He is the irresistible, (watching) from above over His worshippers, and He sets guardians over you. At length, when death approaches one of you, Our angels take his soul, and they never fail in their duty.
否认与真主相会的人,确已亏折了。等到复活时刻忽然降临的时候,他们才说:“呜呼痛哉!我们在尘世时疏忽了。”他们的背上,担负著自己的罪恶。他们所担负的,真恶劣!
在大地上行走的兽类和用两翼飞翔的鸟类,都跟你们一样,各有种族的--我在天经里没有遗漏任何事物;一切鸟兽,都要被集合在他们的主那里。
以免任何人说:“呜呼痛哉!我已怠慢了对真主应尽的义务,我确是亏折者。”
当他们对优素福绝望的时候,他们离席而密秘会议,他们的大哥说:“你们的父亲曾要求你们指真主发誓,难道你们不知道吗?从前,你们曾怠慢了优素福。我绝不离开这个地方,直到父亲允许我,或真主为我而判决,他是最公正的判决者。
在早晨和晚夕祈祷自己的主而求其喜悦者,你应当耐心地和他们在一起,不要藐视他们,而求今世生活的浮华。我使某些人的心忽视我的教训,而顺从自己的欲望。他们的行为是过分的,这种人你们不要顺从他们。
他们以自己所厌恶的归真主,他们妄言自己将受最佳的报酬。无疑的,他们将受火狱的报酬。他们是被遗弃的。
他俩说:“我们的主啊!我们的确怕他粗暴地伤害我们,或更加暴虐无道。”
他是宰制众仆的,他派遣许多天神来保护你们。待死亡降临你们中的任何人的时候,我的众天使,将使他死亡,他们毫不疏忽。
