Glorified (and Exalted) be He (Allah) [above all that (evil) they
associate with Him] [Tafsir Qurtubi, Vol. 10, Page 204] Who took His slave [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) to Al-Masjid-al-Aqsa" (in Jerusalem), the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] of Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 2. |
And
We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel (saying):
"Take not other than Me as (your) Wakil (Protector, Lord, or
Disposer of your affairs, etc). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 3. |
"O
offspring of those whom We carried (in
the ship) with Nuh (Noah)!
Verily, he was a grateful slave." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 4. |
And
We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed
you would do mischief on the earth twice and you will become tyrants
and extremely arrogant! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 5. |
So,
when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you
slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost
parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 6. |
Then
We gave you once again, a return of victory over them. And We helped
you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in man power. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 7. |
(And
We said): "If you do good,
you do good for your ownselves, and if you do evil (you
do it) against yourselves."
Then, when the second promise came to pass, (We
permitted your enemies) to make
your faces sorrowful and to enter the mosque (of
Jerusalem) as they had entered
it before, and to destroy with utter destruction all that fell in
their hands. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 8. |
[And
We said in the Taurat (Torah)]:
"It may be that your Lord may show mercy unto you, but if you
return (to sins),
We shall return (to Our Punishment).
And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 9. |
Verily,
this Qur-an guides to that which is most just and right and gives
glad tidings to the believers [in
the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad (Peace be upon him), etc.].
who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a great reward (Paradise). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 10. |
And
that those who believe not in the Hereafter (i.e.
they disbelieve that they will be recompensed for what they did in
this world, good or bad, etc.),
for them We have prepared a painful torment (Hell). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 11. |
And
man invokes (Allah) for evil as he invokes (Allah) for good and man is ever hasty [i.e.,
if he is angry with somebody, he invokes (saying): "O Allah!
Curse him, etc." and that one should not do, but one should be
patient]. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 12. |
And
We have appointed the night and the day as two Ayat (signs
etc.). Then, We have made dark
the sign of the night while We have made the sign of day illuminating,
that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and that you may know the
number of the years and the reckoning. And We have explained everything (in detail) with full explanation. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 13. |
And
We have fastened every man's deeds to his neck, and on the Day of
Resurrection, We shall bring out for him a book which he will find
wide open. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 14. |
(It
will be said to him): "Read
your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoner against you this
Day." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 15. |
Whoever
goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his ownself.
And whoever goes astray, then he goes astray to his own loss. No one
laden with burdens can bear another's burden. And We never punish
until We have sent a Messenger (to
give warning). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 16. |
And
when We decide to destroy a town (population),
We (first) send a definite order (to obey
Allah and be righteous) to those
among them [or We (first) increase
in number those of its population] who are given the good things of this life. Then, they transgress
therein, and thus the word (of
torment) is justified against
it (them).
Then We destroy it with complete destruction. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 17. |
And
how many generations have We destroyed after Nuh (Noah)!
And Sufficient is your Lord as an All-Knower and All-Beholder of the
sins of His slaves. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 18. |
Whoever
wishes for the quick-passing (transitory
enjoyment of this world), We
readily grant him what We will for whom We like. Then, afterwards,
We have appointed for him Hell, he will burn therein disgraced and
rejected, (far away from Allah's
Mercy). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 19. |
And
whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary
effort due for it (i.e. do
righteous deeds of Allah's Obedience) while he is a believer (in
the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism),
then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, thanked
and rewarded (by Allah). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 20. |
To
each these as well as those We bestow from the Bounties of your Lord.
And the Bounties of your Lord can never be forbidden. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 21. |
See
how We prefer one above another (in
this world) and verily, the
Hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in preference. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 22. |
Set
not up with Allah any other ilah (god), (O man)! [This verse is addressed to
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)], but its implication is general to all mankind),
or you will sit down reproved, forsaken (in
the Hell-fire). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 23. |
And
your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you
be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain
old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout
at them but address them in terms of honour. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 24. |
And
lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy,
and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring
me up when I was small." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 25. |
Your
Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous,
then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him
again and again in obedience, and in repentance. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 26. |
And
give to the kindred his due and to the Miskin (poor) and to the wayfarer. But spend not wastefully (your
wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 10,
Page 158 (Verse 9: 60)]. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 27. |
Verily,
spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils),
and the Shaytan (Devil Satan) is ever ungrateful to his Lord. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 28. |
And
if you [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] turn away from them (kindred,
poor, wayfarer, etc. whom We have ordered you to give their rights,
but if you have no money at the time they ask you for it) and you are awaiting a mercy from your Lord for which you hope, then,
speak unto them a soft kind word (i.e.
Allah will give me and I shall give you). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 29. |
And
let not your hand be tied (like
a miser) to your neck, nor stretch
it forth to its utmost reach (like
a spendthrift), so that you
become blameworthy and in severe poverty. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 30. |
Truly,
your Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills and straitens (for whom He wills).
Verily, He is Ever All-Knower, All-Seer of His slaves. |
