  • So He endowed him with infinite purity (spiritual light), and then set up against him a contrary (in the form) of darkness.
  • He made two banners, white and black: one (was) Adam, the other (was) the Iblís (Devil) of the Way (to Him). 2155
  • Between those two mighty camps (there was) combat and strife, and there came to pass what came to pass.
  • Likewise in the second period Hábíl (Abel) arose, and Qábíl (Cain) became the antagonist of his pure light.
  • Even so (were) these two banners of justice and iniquity (continuing to be raised) till in the course of time the period of Nimrod arrived.
  • He became the antagonist and adversary of Abraham, and those two armies waged war (against each other) and sought battle.
  • (At last) when He was displeased with the prolongation of the strife, His fire became the (means of) decision between the twain. 2160
  • So He caused a fire to be His arbiter and servant, in order that the difficulty (controversy) of those two persons might be solved.
  • These two (contrary) parties (carried on the struggle) from period to period and from generation to generation, down to (the time of) Pharaoh and God-fearing Moses,
  • Between whom there was war for (many) years. When it passed (all) bounds and was causing excessive weariness,
  • God made the water of the sea His arbiter, that it might be left (to the sea to decide) which of these two should prevail.
  • So (it went on) till the period and time of Mustafá (Mohammed), (who contended) with Abú Jahl, the general of the army of iniquity. 2165

  • Moreover He appointed a servant for (the destruction of) the people of ‘Ád, one that rises quickly and moves rapidly, that is (to say), the Wind.
  • Moreover He appointed a discerning servant for (the destruction of) Qárún (Korah): He endued the graciousness of the Earth with enmity,
  • So that the graciousness of the Earth turned entirely to wrath, and she bore Qárún and his treasure down to the abyss.
  • In the case of the food that is a pillar (support) for this body, bread is like a breastplate to repel the sword of hunger; 2170
  • (Yet) when God puts a (motive of) wrath into your bread, that bread will stick in your gullet (and choke you) like a quinsy.
  • This garment that protects you from the cold—God gives it the temperature of intense frost,
  • So that this greatcoat on your body becomes cold as ice and biting as snow.
  • (This He does) in order that you may flee from the fox-fur and silk and take refuge from them with the intense cold.
  • You are not the (statutory) two qullas (ewers), you are (only) one ewer: you have forgotten the (Divine) chastisement inflicted by an overshadowing cloud. 2175
  • In town and village, to (every) house and wall came the command of God, “Give no shade!
  • Do not ward off the rain and the (heat of the) sun!” so that the people went in haste to that Apostle (Shu‘ayb),
  • Crying, “We are dead for the most part: mercy, O Prince!” Read the rest of it in the book of commentary (on the Qur’án).
