Draws
near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 2. |
Comes
not unto them an admonition (a
chapter of the Qur-an) from
their Lord as a recent revelation but they listen to it while they
play, |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 3. |
With
their hearts occupied (with
evil things) those who do wrong,
conceal their private counsels, (saying):
"Is this [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] more than a human being like you? Will you submit to magic while you
see it?" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 4. |
He [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] said: "My Lord knows (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 5. |
Nay,
they say: "These [revelations
of the Qur-an which are inspired to Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] are mixed up false dreams! Nay, he has invented it! Nay, he is a poet!
Let him then bring us an Ayah (sign
as a proof) like the ones (Prophets) that were sent before (with
signs)!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 6. |
Not
one of the towns (populations),
of those which We destroyed, believed before them (though
We sent them signs), will they
then believe? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 7. |
And
We sent not before you [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] but men to whom We inspired,
so ask the people of the Reminder [Scriptures
- the Taurat (Torah), the Injil (Gospel)] if you do not know. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 8. |
And
We did not create them (the
Messengers, with) bodies that
ate not food, nor were they immortals, |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 9. |
Then
We fulfilled to them the promise, and We saved them and those whom
We willed, but We destroyed Al-Musrifun (i.e.
extravagants in oppression, polytheism and in sin). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 10. |
Indeed,
We have sent down for you (O
mankind) a Book, (the
Qur-an) in which there is Dhikrukum, (your Reminder or an honour
for you i.e. honour for the one who follows the teaching of the Qur-an
and acts on its orders). Will
you not then understand? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 11. |
How
many a town (community),
that were wrong-doers, have We destroyed, and raised up after them
another people! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 12. |
Then,
when they perceived (saw) Our Torment (coming),
behold, they (tried to) flee from it. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 13. |
Flee
not, but return to that wherein you lived a luxurious life, and to
your homes, in order that you may be questioned. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 14. |
They
cried: "Woe to us! Certainly! We have been Zalimun (polytheists,
wrong-doers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 15. |
And
that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is
reaped, extinct (dead). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 16. |
We
created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them
for a (mere) play. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 17. |
Had
We intended to take a pastime (i.e.
a wife or a son, etc.), We could
surely have taken it from Us, if We were going to do (that). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 18. |
Nay,
We fling (send down) the truth (this Qur-an) against the falsehood (disbelief),
so it destroys it, and behold, it (falsehood) is vanished. And woe to you for that (lie) which you ascribe (to Us) (against
Allah by uttering that Allah has a wife and a son). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 19. |
To
Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and on earth. And those who
are near Him (i.e. the angels) are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they weary (of
His worship). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 20. |
They (i.e. the angels) glorify His Praises night and day, (and) they never slacken (to do so). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 21. |
Or
have they taken (for worship) aliha (gods) from the earth who raise the dead? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 22. |
Had
there been therein (in the
heavens and the earth) gods
besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined. Glorified
be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, (High
is He) above what they attribute
to Him! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 23. |
He
cannot be questioned as to what He does, while they will be questioned. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 24. |
Or
have they taken for worship (other) aliha (gods) besides Him? Say: "Bring your proof:" This (the
Qur-an) is the Reminder for
those with me and the Reminder for those before me. But most of them
know not the Truth, so they are averse. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 25. |
And
We did not send any Messenger before you [O
Muhammad (Peace be upom him)] but We inspired
him (saying):
La ilaha illa Ana [none has
the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)],
so worship Me (Alone and none
else)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 26. |
And
they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or children)." Glory
to Him! They [those whom they
call children of Allah i.e. the angels, 'Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam
(Mary), 'Uzayr (Ezra), etc.],
are but honoured slaves. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 27. |
They
speak not until He has spoken, and they act on His Command. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 28. |
He
knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they cannot
intercede except for him with whom He is pleased. And they stand in
awe for fear of Him. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 29. |
And
if any of them should say: "Verily, I am an ilah (a
god) besides Him (Allah),"
such a one We should recompense with Hell. Thus We recompense the
Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers,
etc.). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 30. |
Have
not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were
joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have
made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? |
