Let us continue with selections from Sūra 27: Naml, or the Ants in the Holy Qur’an. This surah details the Divine revelations to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) and explains the recompense for those who do virtuous deeds and believe in Allah, the Most High. “One Day We shall gather Together from every people A troop of those who reject Our Signs, and they shall Be kept in ranks, Until, when they come (Before the Judgment-seat), (GOD) will say: ‘Did ye Reject My Signs, though ye Comprehended them not In knowledge, or what Was it ye did?’ And the Word will be Fulfilled against them, because Of their wrong-doing, and they Will be unable to speak (In plea). See they not that We Have made the Night For them to rest in And the Day to give Them light? Verily in this Are Signs for any people That believe! And the Day that the Trumpet Will be sounded— then will be Smitten with terror those Who are in the Heavens, And those who are on Earth, Except such as GOD will please (To exempt): and all shall come To His (Presence) […]. Thou see the mountains And think them firmly fixed: But they shall pass away As the clouds pass away: (Such is) the artistry of GOD, Who disposes of all things In perfect order: for He is Well acquainted with all that ye do. If any do good, good will (Accrue) to them therefrom; And they will be secure From terror that Day. And if any do evil, Their faces will be thrown Headlong into the Fire: ‘Do ye receive a reward Other than that which ye Have earned by your deeds?’ For me, I have been Commanded to serve the Lord Of this City, Him Who has Sanctified it and to Whom (Belong) all things: And I am commanded To be of those who bow In Islam to GOD’s Will, And to rehearse the Qur-ān: And if any accept guidance, They do it for the good Of their own souls, And if any stray, say: ‘I am only a Warner.’ And say: ‘Praise be to GOD, Who will soon show you His Signs, so that ye Shall know them;’ and thy Lord Is not unmindful Of all that ye do.”
