Alif-Lam-Ra. [These letters are one of the
miracles of the Qur-an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. (This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected (in
every sphere of knowledge, etc.),
and then explained in detail from One (Allah),
Who is All-Wise and Well-Acquainted (with
all things). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 2. |
(Saying) worship none but Allah. Verily, I [Muhammad
(Peace be upon him)] am unto you from Him a
warner and a bringer of glad tidings. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 3. |
And (commanding you):
"Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance,
that He may grant you good enjoyment, for a term appointed, and bestow
His abounding Grace to every owner of grace (i.e.
the one who helps and serves needy and deserving, physically and with
his wealth, and even with good words).
But if you turn away, then I fear for you the torment of a Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 4. |
To
Allah is your return, and He is Able to do all things." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 5. |
No
doubt! They did fold up their breasts, that they may hide from Him.
Surely, even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knows
what they conceal and what they reveal. Verily, He is the All-Knower
of the (innermost secrets) of the breasts. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 6. |
And
no (moving) living creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah.
And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit (in
the uterous, grave, etc.). all
is in a Clear Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz - the Book of Decrees with Allah). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 7. |
And
He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth in six Days and
His Throne was on the water, that He might try you, which of you is
the best in deeds. But if you were to say to them: "You shall
indeed be raised up after death," those who disbelieve would
be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious magic." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 8. |
And
if We delay the torment for them till a determined term, they are
sure to say, "What keeps it back?" Verily, on the day it
reaches them, nothing will turn it away from them, and they will be
surrounded by (fall in) that at which they used to mock! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 9. |
And
if We give man a taste of Mercy from Us, and then withdraw it from
him, verily! He is despairing, ungrateful. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 10. |
But
if We let him taste good (favour) after evil (poverty and harm) has touched him, he is sure to say: "Ills have departed from
me." Surely, he is exultant, and boastful (ungrateful
to Allah). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 11. |
Except
those who show patience and do righteous good deeds, those: theirs
will be forgiveness and a great reward (Paradise). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 12. |
So
perchance you [Muhammad
(Peace be upon him)] may give up a part of what is revealed unto you, and that your breast
feels straitened for it because they say, "Why has not a treasure
been sent down unto him, or an angel has come with him?" But
you are only a warner. And Allah is a Wakil (Disposer
of affairs, Trustee, Guardian, etc.) over all things. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 13. |
Or
they say, "He [Muhammad
(Peace be upon him)] forged it (the
Qur-an)." Say: "Bring you then ten forged Surah (chapters) like unto it, and call whomsoever you can, other than Allah (to your help),
if you speak the truth!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 14. |
If
then they answer you not, know then that the Revelation (this
Qur-an) is sent down with the Knowledge of Allah and that La ilaha illa Huwa: (none has
the right to be worshipped but He)!
Will you then be Muslims (those
who submit to Islam)? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 15. |
Whosoever
desires the life of the world and its glitter; to them We shall pay
in full (the wages of) their deeds therein, and they will have no diminution therein. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 16. |
They
are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but Fire; and
vain are the deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which
they used to do. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 17. |
Can
they (Muslims) who rely on a clear proof (the Qur-an) from their Lord, and whom a witness [Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) through Jibril (Gabriel)] from Him follows it (can they
be equal with the disbelievers);
and before it, came the Book of Musa (Moses),
a guidance and a mercy, they believe therein, but those of the sects (Jews, Christians and all the
other non-Muslim nations) that
reject it (the Qur-an),
the Fire will be their promised meeting-place. So be not in doubt
about it [.e. those who denied
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and also denied all that which he brought from
Allah, surely, they will enter Hell].
Verily, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the mankind believe
not. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 18. |
And
who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah. Such
will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These
are the ones who lied against their Lord!" No doubt! the curse
of Allah is on the Zalimun (polytheists,
wrong-doers, oppressors, etc.). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 19. |
Those
who hinder (others) from the Path of Allah (Islamic
Monotheism), and seek a crookedness
therein, while they are disbelievers in the Hereafter. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 20. |
By
no means will they escape (from
Allah's Torment) on earth, nor
have they protectors besides Allah! Their torment will be doubled!
They could not bear to hear (the
preachers of the truth) and
they used not to see (the truth because of their severe aversin, inspite
of the fact that they had the sense of hearing and sight). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 21. |
They
are those who have lost their ownselves, and their invented false
deities will vanish from them. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 22. |
Certainly,
they are those who will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 23. |
Verily,
those who believe (in the Oneness
of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and humble themselves (in
repentance and obedience) before
their Lord, - they will be dwellers of Paradise to dwell therein forever. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 24. |
The
likeness of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf and the seer
and the hearer. Are they equal when compared? Will you not then take
heed? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 25. |
And
indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people (and he said):
"I have come to you as a plain warner." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 26. |
"That
you worship none but Allah, surely, I fear for you the torment of
a painful Day." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 27. |
The
chiefs of the disbelievers among his people said: "We see you
but a man like ourselves, nor do we see any follow you but the meanest
among us and they (too) followed you without thinking. And we do not see in you any merit
above us, in fact we think you are liars." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 28. |
He
said: "O my people! Tell me, if I have a clear proof from my
Lord, and a Mercy (Prophethood,
etc.) has come to me from Him,
but that (Mercy) has been obscured from your sight. Shall we compel you to accept it (Islamic Monotheism) when you have a strong hatred for it? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 29. |
"And
O my people! I ask of you no wealth for it, my reward is from none
but Allah. I am not going to drive away those who have believed. Surely,
they are going to meet their Lord, but I see that you are a people
that are ignorant. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 30. |
"And
O my people! Who will help me against Allah, if I drove them away?
Will you not then give a thought? |
