91. |
So (it
was)! And We knew all about
him (Dhul-Qarnain). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
92. |
Then he followed (another)
way, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
93. |
Until, when he reached between two
mountains, he found, before
(near) them (those
two mountains), a people who
scarcely understood a word. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
94. |
They said: "O Dhul-Qarnain! Verily!
Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog)
are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute
in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
95. |
He said: "That (wealth,
authority and power) in which
my Lord had established me is better (than
your tribute). So help me with
strength (of men),
I will erect between you and them a barrier. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 96. |
"Give me pieces (blocks)
of iron," then, when he had filled up the gap between the two
mountain-cliffs, he said: "Blow," till when he had made
it (red as)
fire, he said: "Bring me molten copper to pour over it." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
97. |
So they [Ya'juj
and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog)]
were made powerless to scale it or dig through it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
98. |
(Dhul-Qarnain)
said: "This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of
my Lord comes, He shall level it down to the ground. And the Promise
of my Lord is ever true." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 99. |
And on that Day [i.e.
the Day Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) will come out],
We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another, and the Trumpet
will be blown, and We shall collect them all together. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 100. |
And on that Day We shall present Hell
to the disbelievers, plain to view, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
101. |
(To)
Those whose eyes had been under a covering from My Reminder
(this Qur-an),
and who could not bear to hear
(it). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 102. |
Do then those who disbelieve think
that they can take My slaves [i.e.,
the angels, Allah's Messengers, 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary),
etc.] as Auliya' (lords,
gods, protectors, etc.) besides
Me? Verily, We have prepared Hell as an entertainment for the disbelievers
(in the Oneness of Allah Islamic
Monotheism). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 103. |
Say (O
Muhammad SAW): "Shall We
tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their)
deeds? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
104. |
"Those whose efforts have been
wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good
by their deeds! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
105. |
"They are those who deny the Ayat
(proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
of their Lord and the Meeting with Him (in
the Hereafter). So their works
are in vain, and on the Day of Resurrection, We shall not give them
any weight. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 106. |
"That shall be their recompense,
Hell; because they disbelieved and took My Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
and My Messengers by way of jest and mockery. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 107. |
"Verily! Those who believe
(in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism)
and do righteous deeds, shall have the Gardens of Al-Firdaus
(the Paradise)
for their entertainment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 108. |
"Wherein they shall dwell
(forever).
No desire will they have to be removed therefrom." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 109. |
Say (O
Muhammad SAW to mankind). "If
the sea were ink for (writing)
the Words of my Lord, surely, the sea would be exhausted before the
Words of my Lord would be finished, even if we brought
(another sea) like it for its
aid." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 110. |
Say (O
Muhammad SAW): "I am only
a man like you. It has been inspired to me that your Ilah (God)
is One Ilah (God i.e. Allah).
So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness
and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." |
