Sura 25 - Al-Furqãn
In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
بِسْمِbis'miIn (the) nameٱللَّهِl-lahi(of) God,ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِl-raḥmāniMost Gracious,ٱلرَّحِيمِl-raḥīmiMost Merciful.
[25:1] Most blessed is the One who revealed the Statute Book to His servant, so he can serve as a warner to the whole world.

[25:2] The One to whom belongs all sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He never had a son, nor does He have any partners in sovereignty. He created everything in exact measure; He precisely designed everything.*

*25:2 When we launch astronauts into space, we measure precisely the amount of food, water, oxygen, and other needs throughout the journey. Similarly, God has launched us into space - on board spaceship Earth - and He has designed all kinds of renewable provisions for us and other creatures, a perfect design. Think, for example, of the symbiotic relationship between us and the plants; we use the oxygen they produce in photosynthesis, while they use the carbon dioxide we produce in respiration.
[25:3] Yet, they set up beside Him gods who do not create anything - they themselves are created - and who possess no power to even harm or benefit themselves, nor do they possess any power to control life, or death, or resurrection.

The Disbelievers Rebutted by the Quran's Mathematical Code
[25:4] Those who disbelieved said, "This is a fabrication that he produced, with the help of some other people." They have uttered a blasphemy and a falsehood.
وَقَالَwaqālaAnd [he] saidٱلَّذِينَalladhīnathose whoكَفَرُوٓا۟kafarū[they] disbelieved,إِنْin"Notهَـٰذَآhādhāthis (is)إِلَّآillābutإِفْكٌif'kuna lie,ٱفْتَرَىٰهُif'tarāhuhe fabricated itوَأَعَانَهُۥwa-aʿānahuand [he] helped / assisted himعَلَيْهِʿalayhiin itقَوْمٌqawmunpeopleءَاخَرُونَākharūnaothers."فَقَدْfaqadBut verily,جَآءُوjāūthey broughtظُلْمًاẓul'manan injusticeوَزُورًاwazūranand a falsehood. ﴿٤﴾
[25:5] They also said, "Tales from the past that he wrote down; they were dictated to him day and night."*
وَقَالُوٓا۟waqālūAnd they said,أَسَـٰطِيرُasāṭīru"Tales (of)ٱلْأَوَّلِينَl-awalīnathe former [ones] (people) / past generationsٱكْتَتَبَهَاik'tatabahā(which) he wrote itفَهِىَfahiyaand [it]تُمْلَىٰtum'lāit is dictatedعَلَيْهِʿalayhito himبُكْرَةًbuk'ratanmorning / dayوَأَصِيلًاwa-aṣīlanand evening / night." ﴿٥﴾
*25:5 Muhammad's contemporaries knew that he was a literate man who could read and write; he wrote God's revelations with his own hand (see Appendix 28).
[25:6] Say, "This was revealed by the One who knows the Secret* in the heavens and the earth. He is Forgiving, Most Merciful."
قُلْqulSay,أَنزَلَهُanzalahu"[He] revealed itٱلَّذِىalladhīthe One whoيَعْلَمُyaʿlamuHe knowsٱلسِّرَّl-sirathe Secretفِىinٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِl-samāwātithe heavensوَٱلْأَرْضِwal-arḍiand the earth.إِنَّهُۥinnahuIndeed, HeكَانَkānaisغَفُورًاghafūranForgiving,رَّحِيمًاraḥīmanMerciful." ﴿٦﴾
*25:6 The Quran's miraculous mathematical code, the incontrovertible answer to the disbelievers' claims, remained a divinely guarded secret for 1400 years. God's Messenger of the Covenant was destined to unveil it by God's leave (Appendices 1, 2, & 26).
Typical Utterances of Disbelievers
[25:7] And they said, "How come this messenger eats the food and walks in the markets? If only an angel could come down with him, to serve with him as a preacher!"
وَقَالُوا۟waqālūAnd they said,مَالِmāli"How comeهَـٰذَاhādhāthisٱلرَّسُولِl-rasūli[the] messengerيَأْكُلُyakuluhe eatsٱلطَّعَامَl-ṭaʿāma[the] foodوَيَمْشِىwayamshīand he walksفِىinٱلْأَسْوَاقِl-aswāqithe markets?لَوْلَآlawlāWhy notأُنزِلَunzilait was sent downإِلَيْهِilayhito himمَلَكٌmalakunan angelفَيَكُونَfayakūnathen he beمَعَهُۥmaʿahuwith himنَذِيرًاnadhīrana warner / preacher? ﴿٧﴾
[25:8] Or, "If only a treasure could be given to him!" Or, "If only he could possess an orchard from which he eats!" The transgressors also said, "You are following a bewitched man."

[25:9] Note how they called you all kinds of names, and how this led them astray, never to find their way back.

[25:10] Most blessed is the One who can, if He wills, give you much better than their demands - gardens with flowing streams, and many mansions.

The Real Reason
[25:11] In fact, they have disbelieved in the Hour (Day of Resurrection), and we have prepared for those who disbelieve in the Hour a flaming Hell.

Retribution for the Disbelievers
[25:12] When it sees them from afar, they will hear its rage and fuming.

[25:13] And when they are thrown into it, through a narrow place, all shackled, they will declare their remorse.

[25:14] You will not declare just a single remorse, on that day; you will suffer through a great number of remorses.

Reward for the Righteous
[25:15] Say, "Is this better or the eternal Paradise that is promised for the righteous? It is their well deserved reward; a well deserved destiny."

[25:17] On the day when He summons them, together with the idols they had set up beside GOD, He will say, "Have you misled these servants of Mine, or did they go astray on their own?"

[25:18] They will say, "Be You glorified, it was not right for us to set up any lords beside You. But You allowed them to enjoy, together with their parents. Consequently, they disregarded the message and thus became wicked people."
قَالُوا۟qālūThey said,سُبْحَـٰنَكَsub'ḥānaka"Glory be to Youمَاnotكَانَkānait wasيَنۢبَغِىyanbaghī[it] befitting / rightلَنَآlanāfor usأَنanthatنَّتَّخِذَnattakhidhawe takeمِنminfromدُونِكَdūnikabesides Youمِنْminanyأَوْلِيَآءَawliyāaprotectors / lords.وَلَـٰكِنwalākinButمَّتَّعْتَهُمْmattaʿtahumYou allowed them to enjoy worldly provisions / gave them comfortوَءَابَآءَهُمْwaābāahumand their forefathers / parentsحَتَّىٰḥattāuntilنَسُوا۟nasūthey forgotٱلذِّكْرَl-dhik'rathe reminder / messageوَكَانُوا۟wakānūand they wereقَوْمًۢاqawmana peopleبُورًاbūranruined." ﴿١٨﴾
[25:19] They have disbelieved in the message you have given them, and, consequently, you can neither protect them from the retribution they have incurred, nor can you help them in any way. Anyone among you who commits evil, we will commit him to severe retribution.

Messengers Are Just Human Beings
[25:20] We did not send any messengers before you who did not eat food and walk in the markets. We thus test you by each other; will you steadfastly persevere? Your Lord is Seer.

[25:21] Those who do not expect to meet us said, "If only the angels could come down to us, or we could see our Lord (we would then believe)!" Indeed, they have committed a gross arrogance, and have produced a gross blasphemy.

*25:27-30 This verse refers also to God's Messenger of the Covenant whose name is mathematically coded in the Quran as "Rashad Khalifa." If you write down the gematrical value of "Rashad" (505), followed by the gematrical value of "Khalifa" (725), followed by this sura number (25), followed by verses 27, 28, 29, and 30, the final number (5057252527282930) is a multiple of 19 (see Appendices 2 & 26 for details). The prophet Muhammad will also make such a statement as in 25:30 on the Day of Judgment.
[25:28] "Alas, woe to me, I wish I did not take that person as a friend.

[25:32] Those who disbelieved said, "Why did not the Quran come through him all at once?" We have released it to you gradually, in order to fix it in your memory. We have recited it in a specific sequence.

The Unappreciative Human
