A Warning from the Quran

A Warning from the Quran

As-Salam-o-Alaikum!

Surah Nuh:

71:1 - We sent Noah to his People (with the Command):

"Do thou warn thy people before there comes to them a grievous Penalty." 5705

71:2 - (Nuh said ) "O my People! I am to you a Warner clear and open: 5706

71:3 -"That ye should worship Allah fear Him and obey me: 5707

5707 Three aspects of man's duty are emphasized:

(1) true worship with heart and soul;

(2) God-fearing recognition that all evil must lead to self-deterioration and Judgment;

(3) hence repentance and amendment of life, and obedience to good men's counsels. (71.3)

5 He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:

6 "But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right)." 5709

7 "And every time I have called to them that thou mightest forgive them they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears covered themselves up with their garments grown obstinate and given themselves up to arrogance. 5710

24 "They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrongdoers but in straying (from their mark)." 5722

25 Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood) and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found in lieu of Allah none to help them. 5723

obstinate and given themselves up to arrogance.

They have already misled many;

Even in this year of 2007– this position remains the same.!

3832 Allah's Revelation, through the holy Prophet, was not meant for one family or tribe, one race or set of people. It was meant for all mankind, to whom, if they turn to Allah, it is a Message of the glad tidings of His Mercy, and if they do not turn to Him, it is a warning against sin and the inevitable Punishment. That the Punishment does not come immediately (as far as they perceive) is no reason for doubting it. It has been declared in clear and unequivocal terms, and nothing can be more certain. Why delay? Why ask carping questions? Why not profit by the Message, turn to Allah in repentance, and bring forth the fruits of righteousness? (34.28) (Surah Saba)

Surah Al-i'Imran 3:104 - Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong; they are the ones to attain felicity. 431
