The
revelation of the Scripture is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Lo!
We have revealed the Scripture unto you (Muhammad)
with truth; so worship Allah, making religion pure for Him
(only). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Surely
Pure religion is for Allah only. And those who choose protecting friends
beside Him (say):
We worship them only that they may bring us near unto Allah. Lo! Allah
will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Lo! Allah
guides not him who is a liar, an ingrate. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
If
Allah had willed to choose a son, he could have chosen what he would
of that which He has created. Be He glorified! He is Allah, the One,
the Absolute. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
He
has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes night to
succeed day, and He makes day to succeed night, and He constrains
the sun and the moon to give service, each running on for an appointed
term. Is not He the Mighty, the Forgiver? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
He
created you from one being, then from that (being)
He made its mate; and He has provided for you of cattle eight kinds.
He created you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation,
in a threefold gloom. Such is Allah, your Lord. His is the Sovereignty.
There is no God save Him. How then are you turned away? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
If
you are thankless, yet Allah is Independent of you, though He is not
pleased with thanklessness for His bondmen; and if you are thankful
He is pleased therewith for you. No laden soul will bear another's
load. Then unto your Lord is your return; and He will tell you what
you used to do. Lo! He knows what is in the breasts (of
men). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And
then some hurt touches man, he cries unto his Lord, turning unto Him
(repentant).
Then, when He grants him a boon from Him he forgetts that for which
he cried unto Him before, and setts up rivals to Allah that he may
beguile (men)
from His way. Say (O Muhammad,
unto such an one): Take pleasure
in your disbelief a while. Lo! you are of the owners of the Fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Is
he who pays adoration in the watches of the night, prostrate and standing,
bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord,
(to be accounted equal with a disbeliever)?
Say (unto them, O Muhammad):
Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of
understanding will pay heed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Say:
O My bondmen who believe! Observe your duty to your Lord. For those
who do good in this world there is good, and Allah's earth is spacious.
Verily the steadfast will be paid their wages without stint. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Say
(O Muhammad):
Lo! I am commanded to worship Allah, making religion pure for Him
(only). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And
I am commanded to be the first of those who surrender (unto
Him). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Say:
Lo! if I should disobey my Lord, I fear the doom of a tremendous Day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Say:
Allah I worship, making my religion pure for Him (only). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Then
worship what you will beside Him. Say: The losers will be those who
lose themselves and their housefolk on the Day of Resurrection. Ah,
that will be the manifest loss! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
They
have an awning of fire above them and beneath them a dais (of
fire). With this does Allah
appall His bondmen. O My bondmen, therefor fear Me! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And
those who put away false gods lest they should worship them and turn
to Allah in repentance, for them there are glad tidings. Therefor
give good tidings (O Muhammad)
to my bondmen |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Who
hear advice and follow the best thereof. Such are those whom Allah
guides, and such are men of understanding. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Is
he on whom the word of doom is fulfilled (to
be helped), and canst you (O
Muhammad) rescue him who is
in the Fire? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
But
those who keep their duty to their Lord, for them are lofty halls
with lofty halls above them, built (for
them), beneath which rivers
flow. (It is)
a promise of Allah. Allah fails not His promise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Have
you not seen how Allah has sent down water from the sky and has caused
it to penetrate the earth as water springs, and afterward thereby
produces crops of divers hues; and afterward they wither and you see
them turn yellow; then He makes them chaff. Lo! herein verily is a
reminder for men of understanding. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Is
he whose bosom Allah has expanded for the Surrender (unto
Him), so that he follows a light
from His Lord, (as he who disbelieves)?
Then woe unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance
of Allah. Such are in plain error. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Allah
has (now)
revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture consistent,
(wherein promises of reward are)
paired (with threats of punishment),
whereat does creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord, so that
their flesh and their hearts soften to Allah's reminder. Such is Allah's
guidance, where with He guides whom He will. And him whom Allah sends
astray, for him there is no guide. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Is
he then, who will strike his face against the awful doom upon the
Day of Resurrection (as he
who does right)? And it will
be said unto the wrong doers: Taste what you used to earn. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Those
before them denied, and so the doom came on them whence they knew
not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Thus
Allah made them taste humiliation in the life of the world, and verily
the doom of the Hereafter will be greater if they did but know. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
verily We have coined for humankind in this Qur-an all kinds of similitudes,
that haply {by chance}
they may reflect; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
A
Lecture in Arabic, containing no crookedness, that haply {by
chance} they may ward off
(evil). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Allah
coins a similitude: A man in relation to whom are several part owners,
quarrelling, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal
in similitude? Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Lo!
you will die, and lo! they will die; |
|
|
|
