|
|
|
|
| 61. |
And to Thamud (people,
We sent) their brother Salih (Saleh).
He said: "O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other Ilah (God) but Him. He brought you forth from the earth and settled you therein,
then ask forgiveness of Him and turn to Him in repentance. Certainly,
my Lord is Near (to all by
His Knowledge), Responsive." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 62. |
They said: "O Salih (Saleh)!
You have been among us as a figure of good hope (and
we wished for you to be our chief),
till this [new thing which
you have brought; that we leave our gods and worship your God (Allah)
Alone]! Do you (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers have worshipped? But we
are really in grave doubt as to that which you invite us to (monotheism)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 63. |
He said: "O my people! Tell me,
if I have a clear proof from my Lord, and there has come to me a Mercy (Prophethood, etc.) from Him, who then can help me against Allah, if I were to disobey
Him? Then you increase me not but in loss. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 64. |
"And O my people! This she-camel
of Allah is a sign to you, leave her to feed on
Allah's earth, and
touch her not with evil, lest a near torment will seize you." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 65. |
But they killed her. So he said: "Enjoy
yourselves in your homes for three days. This is a promise (i.e. a threat) that will not be belied." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
So when Our Commandment came, We saved
Salih (Saleh) and those who believed with him by a Mercy from Us, and from the disgrace
of that Day. Verily, your Lord, He is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 67. |
And As-Saihah (torment
- awful cry, etc.) overtook
the wrong-doers, so they lay (dead),
prostrate in their homes, - |
|
|
|
|
|
| 68. |
As if they had never lived there. No
doubt! Verily, Thamud disbelieved in their Lord. So away with Thamud! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
And verily, there came Our Messengers
to Ibrahim (Abraham) with glad tidings. They said: Salam (greetings
or peace!) He answered, Salam (greetings or peace!) and he hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
But when he saw their hands went not
towards it (the meal),
he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They
said: "Fear not, we have been sent against the people of Lut (Lot)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 71. |
And his wife was standing (there),
and she laughed [either, because
the Messengers did not eat their food or for being glad for the destruction
of the people of Lut (Lot)].
But We gave her glad tidings of Ishaque (Isaac),
and after him, of Ya'qub (Jacob). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 72. |
She said (in
astonishment): "Woe unto
me! Shall I bear a child while I am an old woman, and here is my husband,
an old man? Verily! This is a strange thing!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
They said: "Do you wonder at the
Decree of Allah? The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be on you, O
the family [of Ibrahim (Abraham)].
Surely, He (Allah) is All-Praiseworthy, All-Glorious." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 74. |
Then when the fear had gone away from (the mind of) Ibrahim (Abraham),
and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with Us (Our Messengers) for the people of Lut (Lot). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 75. |
Verily, Ibrahim (Abraham) was, without doubt, forbearing, used to invoke Allah with humility,
and was repentant (to Allah all the time, again and again). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 76. |
"O Ibrahim (Abraham)!
Forsake this. Indeed, the Commandment of your Lord has gone forth.
Verily, there will come a torment for them which cannot be turned
back." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
And when Our Messengers came to Lut (Lot),
he was grieved on their account and felt himself straitened for them (lest the town people should
approach them to commit sodomy with them).
He said: "This is a distressful day." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 78. |
And his people came rushing towards
him, and since aforetime they used to commit crimes (sodomy,
etc.), he said: "O my people!
Here are my daughters (i.e.
the daughters of my nation),
they are purer for you (if
you marry them lawfully). So
fear Allah and degrade me not as regards my guests! Is there not among
you a single right-minded man?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
They said: "Surely you know that
we have neither any desire nor in need of your daughters, and indeed
you know well what we want!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
He said: "Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 81. |
They (Messengers) said: "O Lut (Lot)!
Verily, we are the Messengers from your Lord! They shall not reach
you! So travel with your family in a part of the night, and let not
any of you look back, but your wife (will
remain behind), verily, the
punishment which will afflict them, will afflict her. Indeed, morning
is their appointed time. Is not the morning near?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 82. |
So when Our Commandment came, We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down, and rained on them stones of baked clay, piled up; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
Marked from your Lord, and they are
not ever far from the Zalimun (polytheists,
evil-doers, etc.). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 84. |
And to the Madyan (Midian)
people (We sent) their brother Shu'ayb. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah,
you have no other Ilah (God) but Him, and give not short measure or weight, I see you in prosperity;
and verily I fear for you the torment of a Day encompassing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 85. |
"And O my people! Give full measure
and weight in justice and reduce not the things that are due to the
people, and do not commit mischief in the land, causing corruption. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 86. |
"That which is left by Allah for
you (after giving the rights
of the people) is better for
you, if you are believers. And I am not set over you as a guardian. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 87. |
They said: "O Shu'ayb! Does your
Salat (prayer) (i.e. the prayers
which you offer has spoiled your mind, so you) command that we leave off what our fathers used to worship, or that
we leave off doing what we like with our property? Verily, you are
the forbearer, right-minded!" (They
said this sarcastically). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 88. |
He said: "O my people! Tell me,
if I have a clear evidence from my Lord, and He has given me a good
sustenance from Himself (shall
I corrupt it by mixing it with the unlawfully earned money).
I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you.
I only desire reform so far as I am able, to the best of my power.
And my guidance cannot come except from Allah, in Him I trust and
unto Him I repent. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 89. |
"And O my people! Let not my Shiqaq
cause you to suffer the fate similar to that of the people of Nuh (Noah) or of Hud or of Salih (Saleh),
and the people of Lout (Lot) are not far off from you! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
"And ask forgiveness of your Lord
and turn unto Him in repentance. Verily, my Lord is Most Merciful,
Most Loving." |
| |
|
|
| 31. |
"And I do not say to you that
with me are the Treasures of Allah, "Nor that I know the Ghayb (unseen);
"nor do I say I am an angel, and I do not say of those whom your
eyes look down upon that Allah will not bestow any good on them. Allah
knows what is in their inner-selves (as
regards belief, etc.). In that
case, I should, indeed be one of the Zalimun (wrong-doers,
oppressors, etc.)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 32. |
They said: "O Nuh (Noah)!
You have disputed with us and much have you prolonged the dispute
with us, now bring upon us what you threaten us with, if you are of
the truthful." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 33. |
He said: "Only Allah will bring
it (the punishment) on you, if He will, and then you will escape not. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 34. |
"And my advice will not profit
you, even if I wish to give you good counsel, if Allah's Will is to
keep you astray. He is your Lord! and to Him you shall return." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 35. |
Or they (the
pagans of Makkah) say: "He [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] has fabricated it (the Qur-an)."
Say: "If I have fabricated it, upon me be my crimes, but I am
innocent of (all) those crimes which you commit." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 36. |
And it was inspired to Nuh (Noah):
"None of your people will believe except those who have believed
already. So be not sad because of what they used to do. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 37. |
"And construct the ship under
Our Eyes and with Our Inspiration, and address Me not on behalf of
those who did wrong; they are surely to be drowned." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 38. |
And as he was constructing the ship,
whenever the chiefs of his people passed by him, they made a mockery
of him. He said: "If you mock at us, so do we mock at you likewise
for your mocking. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 39. |
"And you will know who it is on
whom will come a torment that will cover him with disgrace and on
whom will fall a lasting torment." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 40. |
(So it was) till then there came Our Command and the oven gushed forth (water like fountains from the earth).
We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two (male
and female), and your family,
except him against whom the Word has already gone forth, and those
who believe. And none believed with him, except a few." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 41. |
And he [Nuh (Noah)] said: "Embark therein,
in the Name of Allah will be its moving course and its resting anchorage.
Surely, my Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Tafsir
At-Tabari, Vol. 12, Page 43) |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 42. |
So it (the
ship) sailed with them amidst
the waves like mountains, and Nuh (Noah) called out to his son, who had separated himself (apart),
"O my son! Embark with us and be not with the disbelievers." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 43. |
The son replied: "I will betake
myself to a mountain, it will save me from the water." Nuh (Noah) said: "This day there is no saviour from the Decree of Allah
except him on whom He has mercy." And a wave came in between
them, so he (the son) was among the drowned. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 44. |
And it was said: "O earth! Swallow
up your water, and O sky! Withhold (your
rain)." And the water was
diminished (made to subside) and the Decree (of Allah) was fulfilled (i.e. the destruction
of the people of Nuh (Noah).
And it (the ship) rested on Mount Judi, and it was said: "Away with the people
who are Zalimun (polytheists
and wrong-doing)!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 45. |
And Nuh (Noah) called upon his Lord and said, "O my Lord! Verily, my son is
of my family! And certainly, Your Promise is true, and You are the
Most Just of the judges." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 46. |
He said: "O Nuh (Noah)!
Surely, he is not of your family; verily, his work is unrighteous,
so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge! I admonish you,
lest you be one of the ignorants." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 47. |
Nuh(Noah) said: "O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from asking You that
of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have Mercy
on me, I would indeed be one of the losers." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 48. |
It was said: "O Nuh (Noah)!
Come down (from the ship) with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the people who are
with you (and on some of their
off spring), but (there
will be other) people to whom
We shall grant their pleasures (for
a time), but in the end a painful
torment will reach them from Us." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 49. |
This is of the news of the unseen which
We reveal unto you [O Muhammad
(Peace be upon him)], neither you nor your people
knew them before this. So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for the Muttaqun (pious) |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 50. |
And to 'Ad (people We
sent) their brother Hud. He said, "O my people! Worship
Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. Certainly, you do nothing but invent (lies)! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 51. |
"O my people I ask of you no reward
for it (the Message).
My reward is only from Him, Who created me. Will you not then understand? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 52. |
"And O my people! Ask forgiveness
of your Lord and then repent to Him, He will send you (from
the sky) abundant rain, and
add strength to your strength, so do not turn away as Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness
of Allah)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 53. |
They said: "O Hud! No evidence
have you brought us, and we shall not leave our gods for your (mere) saying! And we are not believers in you. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 54. |
"All that we say is that some
of our gods (false deities) have seized you with evil (madness)."
He said: "I call Allah to witness and bear you witness that I
am free from that which you ascribe as partners in worship, - |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 55. |
With Him (Allah).
So plot against me, all of you, and give me no respite. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 56. |
"I put my trust in Allah, my Lord
and your Lord! There is not a moving (living) creature but He has grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the
Straight Path (the truth). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 57. |
"So if you turn away, still I
have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will
make another people succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the
least. Surely, my Lord is Guardian over all things." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 58. |
And when Our Commandment came, We saved
Hud and those who believed with him by a Mercy from Us, and We saved
them from a severe torment. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 59. |
Such were 'Ad (people).
They rejected the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord and disobeyed His Messengers, and followed the command
of every proud obstinate (oppressor
of the truth, from their leaders). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 60. |
And they were pursued by a curse in
this world and (so they will
be) on the Day of Resurrection.
No doubt! Verily, 'Ad disbelieved in their Lord. So away with 'Ad,
the people of Hud. |
