Sura Ibrahim from 19 to 24


19. Do you not see that Allâh has created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wills, He can remove you and bring ( in your place ) a new creation!
20. And for Allâh that is not hard or difficult.
21. And they all shall appear before Allâh ( on the Day of Resurrection ) ; then the weak will say to those who were arrogant ( chiefs ) : « Verily, we were following you; can you avail us anything against Allâh’s Torment? » They will say: « Had Allâh guided us, we would have guided you. It makes no difference to us ( now ) whether we rage, or bear ( these torments ) with patience; there is no place of refuge for us. »
22. And Shaitân ( Satan ) will say when the matter has been decided: « Verily, Allâh promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, and you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me ( Satan ) as a partner with Allâh ( by obeying me in the life of the world ) . Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zâlimûn ( polytheists and wrong- doers ) . »
23. And those who believed ( in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers and whatever they brought ) and did righteous deeds, will be made to enter Gardens under which rivers flow, - to dwell therein for ever ( i.e. in Paradise ) , with the Permission of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: Salâm ( peace! ) . [ 1 ]
24. See you not how Allâh sets forth a parable? A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches ( reach ) to the sky ( i.e. very high ) .
