اَللّٰهُ يَصۡطَفِىۡ مِنَ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةِ رُسُلًا وَّمِنَ النَّاسِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيۡعٌۢ بَصِيۡرٌۚ ٧٥

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسۡتَمِعُوۡا لَهٗؕ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ تَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ لَنۡ يَّخۡلُقُوۡا ذُبَابًا وَّلَوِ اجۡتَمَعُوۡا لَهٗؕ وَاِنۡ يَّسۡلُبۡهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيۡــًٔـا لَّا يَسۡتَـنۡـقِذُوۡهُ مِنۡهُؕ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالۡمَطۡلُوۡبُ ٧٣
22:73O mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought!
مَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهٖؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيۡزٌ ٧٤
22:74They measure not Allah His rightful measure. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty.
اَللّٰهُ يَصۡطَفِىۡ مِنَ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةِ رُسُلًا وَّمِنَ النَّاسِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيۡعٌۢ بَصِيۡرٌۚ ٧٥
22:75Allah chooseth from the angels messengers, and (also) from mankind. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Seer.
يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡؕ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرۡجَعُ الۡاُمُوۡرُ ٧٦
22:76He knoweth all that is before them and all that is behind them, and unto Allah all things are returned.
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا ارۡكَعُوۡا وَاسۡجُدُوۡا وَ اعۡبُدُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡ وَافۡعَلُوۡا الۡخَيۡرَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ۩ۚ ٧٧
22:77O ye who believe! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord, and do good, that haply ye may prosper.
وَجَاهِدُوۡا فِى اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖؕ هُوَ اجۡتَبٰٮكُمۡ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِى الدِّيۡنِ مِنۡ حَرَجٍؕ مِلَّةَ اَبِيۡكُمۡ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَؕ هُوَ سَمّٰٮكُمُ الۡمُسۡلِمِيۡنَࣙۙ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ وَفِىۡ هٰذَا لِيَكُوۡنَ الرَّسُوۡلُ شَهِيۡدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَتَكُوۡنُوۡا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِۖۚ فَاَقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاعۡتَصِمُوۡا بِاللّٰهِؕ هُوَ مَوۡلٰٮكُمۡۚ فَنِعۡمَ الۡمَوۡلٰى وَنِعۡمَ النَّصِيۡرُ ٧٨
22:78And strive for Allah with the endeavour which is His right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your father Abraham (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper!
