The revelation of this Book (the Qur-an) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Verily, We have sent down the Book
to you [O
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] in truth: So worship Allah (Alone) by doing religious deeds
sincerely for Allah's sake only. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Surely, the religion (i.e.
the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take Awliya" (protectors, helpers, lords, gods) besides Him (say):
"We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah."
Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein
they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and
a disbeliever. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Had Allah willed to take a son (or offspring),
He could have chosen whom He willed out of those whom He created.
But glory is to Him! (He is
above such things). He is Allah,
the One, the Irresistible. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
He has created the heavens and the
earth with truth. He makes the night to go in the day and makes the
day to go in the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon.
Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
He created you (all) from a single person (Adam);
then made from him his wife [Hawwa''
(Eve)]. And He has sent down
for you of cattle eight pairs (of
the sheep, two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female;
of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and
female). He creates you in the
wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness.
Such is Allah your Lord. His is the kingdom, La ilaha
illa Huwa (none has
the right to be worshipped but He).
How then are you turned away? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 7. |
If you disbelieve, then verily, Allah
is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And
if you are grateful (by being
believers), He is pleased therewith
for you. No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then
to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you what you used
to do. Verily, He is the All-Knower of that which is in (men's) breasts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 8. |
And when some hurt touches man, he
cries to his Lord (Allah
Alone), turning to Him in repentance.
But when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that
for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah,
in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: "Take pleasure
in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Is one who is obedient to Allah,
prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours
of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his
Lord (like one who disbelieves)?
Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not?" It
is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e.
get a lesson from Allah's Signs and Verses). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Say [O
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: "O
My slaves who believe (in the
Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism),
be afraid of your Lord (Allah) and keep your duty to Him. Good is (the
reward) for those who do good
in this world, and Allah's earth is spacious (so
if you cannot worship Allah at a place, then go to another)!
Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without
reckoning." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 11. |
Say [O
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: "Verily,
I am commanded to worship Allah (Alone) by obeying Him and doing religious deeds sincerely for His sake only. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
"And I am commanded (this) in order that I may be the first of those who submit themselves to
Allah (in Islam) as Muslims." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Say [O
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]: "Verily,
if I disobey my Lord, I am afraid of the torment of a great Day." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 14. |
Say [O
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] "Allah
Alone I worship by doing religious deeds sincerely for His sake only (and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with
Him in worship.)" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 15. |
So worship what you like besides Him.
Say [O
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)]:
"The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families
on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, that will be a manifest loss!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
They shall have coverings of Fire,
above them and covering (of
Fire) beneath them. With this
Allah does frighten His slaves: "O My slaves, therefore
fear Me!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Those who avoid At-Taghut (false deities) by not worshipping them and turn to Allah in repentance, for
them are glad tidings; so announce the good news to My slaves, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Those who listen to the Word [good advice La ilaha
illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)
and Islamic Monotheism, etc.] and follow the best thereof (i.e.
worship Allah Alone, repent to Him and avoid Taghut,
etc.) those are (the
ones) whom Allah has
guided and those are men of understanding (like
Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail, Salman Al-Farisi and Abu Dhar
Al-Ghifari). [Tafsir
Al-Qurtubi] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Is, then one against whom the Word
of punishment justified (equal
to the one who avoids evil)? Will you (O Muhammad
SAW) rescue him who is in the
Fire? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
But those who fear their Lord (Allah) and keep their duty to Him, for them are built lofty rooms; one above
another under which rivers flow (i.e.
Paradise). (This
is) the Promise of Allah:
and Allah does not fail in (His) Promise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 21. |
See you not, that Allah sends
down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and
then makes it to spring up) as water-springs and afterward thereby produces crops of different
colours, and afterward they wither and you see them turn yellow, then
He makes them dry and broken pieces. Verily, in this, is a Reminder
for men of understanding. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 22. |
Is he whose breast Allah has
opened to Islam, so that he is in light from His Lord (as he who is non-Muslim)?
So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of
Allah! They are in plain error! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Allah has sent down the best
statement, a Book (this Qur-an),
its parts resembling each other (in goodness and truth)
(and) oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord
shiver from it (when they recite
it or hear it). Then their skin
and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allah. That is
the guidance of Allah. He Guides therewith whom He wills; and
whomever Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 24. |
Is he then, who will confront with
his face the awful torment on the Day of Resurrection (as
he who enters peacefully in Paradise)?
And it will be said to the Zalimun (polytheists
and wrong-doers): "Taste
what you used to earn!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 25. |
Those before them belied, and so the
torment came on them from directions they perceived not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 26. |
So Allah made them to taste
the disgrace in the present life, but greater is the torment of the
Hereafter if they only knew! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 27. |
And indeed We have put forth for men,
in this Qur-an every kind of similitude in order that they
may remember. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
An Arabic Qur-an, without any
crookedness (therein) in order that they may avoid all evil which Allah has ordered
them to avoid, fear Him and keep their duty to Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 29. |
Allah puts forth a similitude:
a (slave) man belonging to many partners (like those who worship others along with Allah) disputing with one another, and a (slave) man belonging entirely to one master, (like
those who worship Allah Alone).
Are those two equal in comparison? All the praises and thanks are
to Allah! But most of them know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Verily, you [O
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] will die
and verily, they (too) will die. |
