Blest
be He who hath revealed the Criterion unto His bondman thathe may
be unto the worlds a warner. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He
whose is the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and who hath not
taken a son, and for whom there is not an associate in the dominion,
and who hath created everything, and measured it according to a measurement. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And
they have taken beside Him gods creating not aught and are themselves
created, owning for themselves neither hurt nor benefit, and owning
not death nor life nor resurrection. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And
those who disbelieve, say. this is naught but a falsehood thathe hath
fabricated and there have assisted him therein other people. so surelythey
have aimed at a wrong and a fraud. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And
they say: fables of the ancients which he hath had written down, so
they are dictated unto him, morning and evening. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Say
thou; He hath sent it down Who knoweth the secret of the heavens and
the earth; verily He is ever Forgiving, Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
they say: what aileth this apostle: he eateth food and walketh about
the market-places: wherefore is not an angel sent down unto him, so
thathe may be along with him a warner' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
Or,
whereforeis not there cast down unto him a treasure or he has a garden
whereof he may eat! And the wrong-doeray: ye follow only a man bewitched. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Behold
how they propound similitudes for thee! so they have strayed and cannot
find a way. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Blest
is He Who, if He willed, shall appoint for them something better than
that: gardens whereunder the rivers flow, and appoint for them palaces. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Aye!
they belie the Hour; and We have gotten ready for him who belieth
the Hour a Flame. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
When
it beholdeth them from afar, they shall hear it raging and roaring. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And
when they are flung into a strait place thereof, bound Up, they shall
call therein unto death. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Call
not to-day for a single death but call for death manifold. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Say
thou: in that better or Garden of Abidence that hath been promised
to the God-fearing! It shall be theirs as a recompense and a retreat. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Theirs
therein shall be all that they wish for, as abiders; a promise from
thy Lord to be asked for. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And
on the Dav whereon He will gather them and that which they worship
beside Allah and will say. are ye the ones who sent astray these My
bondmen; or strayed they themselves from the way! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
They
will say; hallowed be Thou! it behoved us not that we should take
beside Thee any patron, but Thou allovvedest them and their fathers
enjoyment Until they forgat the admonition, and they were a people
doomed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
So
now they belie you in that which ye said; so ye are not able to obtain
diversion nor help. And who soever of you doth wrong, him We shall
make taste a great torment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And
We have not sent before thee ony of the sent ones but verily they
ate food and walked about in the market places. And We have made some
of you unto some others a temptation; will ye have patience! And thy
Lord is ever a Beholder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And
those who fear not the meeting with Usl say: wherefore are not angels
sent down unto us or wherefore we see not our Lord! Assuredly they
have proven stiff-necked in their souls and have exceeded the bounds
with excess great. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
The
Day whereon they shall behold the angels on that day there will be
nea joy for the culprits, and they will say: away! away! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And
We shall set upon that which they worked, and shall make it as dust
wind-scattered. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Fellows
of the Garden shall be on that Day in a goodly abode and a gocdly
re pose. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And
on the Day whereon the heaven shall be rent asunderg from the clouds
and the angelhall be sent downll with a great descending. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
The
dominion on that Day rhall is; be the true dominion, of the Compassionate,
l and it shall be anday upon the infidels hard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
On
the Day when the wrong-doer shall gnaw his hands saying: would that
had taken with the apostle a way! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Ah!
woe unto me! wouldthat had never taken such a one for a friend! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Assuredly
he misled me from the admonition after it had come unto ine. Verily
the Satan is ever unto man a betrayer. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And
the Apostle will say: my lord! verily my people took this Qur'an as
a thing to be shunned. |
