Alif-Lam-Mim.
[These letters are one of the
miracles of the Qur-an and none but Allah (Alone) knows
their meanings]. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
This is the Book
(the Qur-an),
whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun
[the pious and righteous persons
who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil
deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform
all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Who believe in
the Ghayb (Unseen)
and perform As-Salah (Iqamat-as-Salah),
and spend out of what we have provided for them
[i.e. give Zakah, spend on themselves, their parents, their
children, their wives, etc., and also give charity to the poor and
also in Allah's Cause - Jihad]. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And who believe
in (the Qur-an and the
Sunnah) which has been sent down
(revealed)
to you (Muhammad Peace
be upon him ) and in that which
were sent down before you [the
Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.]
and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter.
(Resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and
Hell). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
They are on
(true) guidance from their Lord,
and they are the successful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Verily, those
who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you
(O Muhammad Peace be upon him)
warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Allah has
set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings,
(i.e. they are closed from accepting Allah's Guidance),
and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And of mankind,
there are some (hypocrites)
who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" while in fact they
believe not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
They
(think to) deceive Allah
and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive
(it)
not! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
In their hearts
is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy)
and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is
theirs because they used to tell lies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And when it is said
to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only
peacemakers." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Verily! They are the
ones who make mischief, but they perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And when it is
said to them (hypocrites):
"Believe as the people (followers
of Muhammad Peace be upon him , Al-Ansar and Al-Muhajirun)
have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?"
Verily, they are the fools, but they know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And when they
meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are
alone with their Shayatin
(devils - polytheists, hypocrites, etc.),
they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Allah mocks at
them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
These are they who have
purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And
they were not guided. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Their likeness
is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted
all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in
darkness. (So)
they could not see. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
They are deaf,
dumb, and blind, so they return not
(to the Right Path). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Or like a rainstorm
from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust
their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap
for fear of death. But Allah ever encompasses the disbelievers
(i.e. Allah will gather
them all together). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
The lightning almost
snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk
therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allah
willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly,
Allah has power over all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
O mankind! Worship
your Lord (Allah),
Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become
Al-Muttaqun (the pious
- see V.2:2). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Who has made the
earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down
water (rain)
from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for
you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah
(in worship) while you know
(that He Alone has the right to be worshipped). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And if you
(Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians)
are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down
(i.e. the Qur-an) to Our
slave (Muhammad Peace
be upon him ), then produce a
Surah (chapter)
of the like thereof and call your witnesses
(supporters and helpers) besides
Allah, if you are truthful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
But if you do
it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire
(Hell) whose fuel is men and
stones, prepared for the disbelievers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And give glad
tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for
them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise).
Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will
say: "This is what we were provided with before," and they will be
given things in resemblance
(i.e. in the same form but different in taste)
and they shall have therein Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified
mates or wives),
(having no menses, stools, urine, etc.)
and they will abide therein forever. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Verily, Allah
is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much
more when it is bigger (or less
when it is smaller) than it.
And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from
their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: "What did Allah
intend by this parable?" By it He misleads many, and many He guides
thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun
(the rebellious, disobedient
to Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Those who break
Allah's Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allah
has ordered to be joined (as
regards Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to practise
its laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with
kith and kin), and do mischief
on earth, it is they who are the losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
How can you disbelieve
in Allah? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then
He will give you death, then again will bring you to life
(on the Day of Resurrection)
and then unto Him you will return.(See
V.40:11) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
He it is Who created
for you all that is on earth. Then He rose over
(Istawa) towards the heaven
and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And
(remember) when your Lord said
to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place
(mankind) generations after generations
on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will make
mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises
and thanks and sanctify You." He
(Allah) said: "I know
that which you do not know." |
