“O mankind, remember the favour of Allah upon you.
Is there any creator other than Allah who provides
for you from the heaven and earth? There is no deity
except Him, so how are you deluded?”
(Qur’’an: Fatir: 35: 3)

19. O people, that is, the people of Mecca, remember Allah’s grace to
you, in His making you dwell within the [Meccan] Sanctuary and
preventing raids against you.
Is there any creator (min khāliqin: min is extra; khāliq is the
subject) other than Allah (read ghayru’Llāhi or gharyri’Llāhi, as an
adjectival qualification of khāliq, ‘creator’, either concordant with
the [oblique] form [of min khāliqin] or concordant with the
syntactical status [thereof];
the predicate of the subject [is the following]) who provides for
you from the heaven, rain, and, from the, earth?,

vegetation (the interrogative is [actually] an affirmative, that is to
say, ‘there is no creator or provider other than Him’).
There is no god except Him. So how then do you deviate?, how
are you turned away from affirming His Oneness (TAUHEED)
when you already affirm that He is the Creator (KHALIQIYYAH)
and the Provider (RUBUBIYYAH)?

coming with [the message of] Allah’s Oneness (TAUHEED),
resurrection, reckoning and punishment (‘ADL-WAL-AAKHIRAH),
verily [other] messengers before you were denied (RISAALAH), in
this respect, so be steadfast as they were steadfast;
and to Allah all matters are returned (ILALLAA-HI TUR-JA-U’L-

(KAFIRUN) and grant victory to the messengers.

“O mankind, indeed the promise of Allah is truth, so
let not the worldly life delude you and be not
deceived about Allah by the Deceiver.”
(Qur’’an: Fatir: 35: 5)

24. O mankind! Indeed Allah’s promise (WA’-DALLAH), of
resurrection and of other issues, is true.
So do not let the life of this world (HAYAA-TUD-DUN-YA) deceive
you (FA-LAA-YU-GHOR-RAN-NAKUM), from believing in [all of]
that,
and do not let the Deceiver, Satan, deceive you concerning Allah,
on account of His forbearance and respiting [of sinners in this
life].

“Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an
enemy. He only invites his party to be among the
companions of the Blaze.”
(Qur’’an: Fatir: 35: 6)

26. Truly Satan is an enemy to you (SHA-TWAA-NA – ‘ADUW-WUN-
LA-KUM).
(FAT-TA-KHA-DZU-HU - ’ADUW-WAN) So treat him as an enemy,
by being obedient to Allah and do not obey him;
he only summons his faction (HIZ-BAHU), his followers in
disbelief, so that they may be among the inhabitants of the Blaze,
the fierce Fire (AS-HAA-BIS-SA- ‘EER).

“Those who disbelieve will have a severe punishment,
and those who believe and do righteous deeds will
have forgiveness and great reward.”
(Qur’’an: Fatir: 35: 7)

28. Those who disbelieve (KAFARU), theirs will be a severe
chastisement (‘AZAA-BUN-SHA-DEED);
but those who believe (AA-MANU) and perform righteous deeds
(‘A-MILUS-SWO-LI-HAAT), theirs will be forgiveness (MAGH-FIRAH)
and a great reward (‘AJRUN –‘AZEEM)—
this is a declaration of what [fate] will be for the adherents of
Satan and what will be for his opponents [respectively].
