Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

Listen! They (the hypocrites) fold up their chests (lowering their heads and covering their faces) in order to (attempt to) conceal (their true state) from Allah. Listen! When they fully cover themselves up with their clothes, even at that time, Allah knows all what they hide and disclose; indeed, He knows what is in the hearts.

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

And it is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and His Throne was upon the water; that He may test you, as to whose deeds amongst you are the best. And if you (O Beloved) say that 'Indeed, you will be raised after death,' the disbelievers will definitely say, 'This is nothing but clear magic.'

وَ لَىٕنْ اَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِلٰۤى اُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُوْدَةٍ لَّیَقُوْلُنَّ مَا یَحْبِسُهٗؕ-اَلَا یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْهِمْ لَیْسَ مَصْرُوْفًا عَنْهُمْ وَ حَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ۠ (8)

وَ لَىٕنْ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنٰهَا مِنْهُۚ-اِنَّهٗ لَیَـٴُـوْسٌ كَفُوْرٌ(9)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

And if We let man taste any Mercy of Ours and later withdraw it from him, he is definitely most despairing, ungrateful.
