Blessed
be He Who sent down the criterion (of
right and wrong, i.e. this Qur-an)
to His slave (Muhammad SAW)
that he may be a warner to the 'Alamin (mankind
and jinns). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He
to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Who
has begotten no son (children
or offspring) and for Whom there
is no partner in the dominion. He has created everything, and has
measured it exactly according to its due measurements. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Yet
they have taken besides Him other aliha (gods)
that created nothing but are themselves created, and possess neither
hurt nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power (of
causing) death, nor
(of giving)
life, nor of raising the dead. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Those
who disbelieve say: "This (the
Qur-an) is nothing but a lie
that he (Muhammad SAW)
has invented, and others have helped him at it, so that they have
produced an unjust wrong (thing)
and a lie." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And
they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has written down,
and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Say:
"It (this Qur-an)
has been sent down by Him (Allah)
(the Real Lord of the heavens and earth)
Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
they say: "Why does this Messenger (Muhammad
SAW) eat food, and walk about
in the markets (like ourselves).
Why is not an angel sent down to him to be a warner with him? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
"Or
(why)
has not a treasure been granted to him, or why has he not a garden
whereof he may eat?" And the Zalimun (polytheists
and wrong-doers, etc.) say:
"You follow none but a man bewitched." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
See
how they coin similitudes for you, so they have gone astray, and they
cannot find a (Right)
Path. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Blessed
be He Who, if He will, will assign you better than (all)
that, - Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise)
and will assign you palaces (i.e.
in Paradise). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Nay,
they deny the Hour (the Day
of Resurrection), and for those
who deny the Hour, We have prepared a flaming Fire (i.e.
Hell). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
When
it (Hell)
sees them from a far place, they will hear its raging and its roaring. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And
when they shall be thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together,
they will exclaim therein for destruction. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Exclaim
not today for one destruction, but exclaim for many destructions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Say:
(O Muhammad SAW)
"Is that (torment) better or the Paradise
of Eternity promised to the Muttaqun (pious
and righteous persons - see V.2:2)?"
It will be theirs as a reward and as a final destination. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
For
them there will be therein all that they desire, and they will abide
(there forever).
It is a promise binding upon your Lord that must be fulfilled. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And
on the Day when He will gather them together and that which they worship
besides Allah [idols, angels,
pious men, saints, 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), etc.].
He will say: "Was it you who misled these My slaves or did they
(themselves)
stray from the (Right)
Path?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
They
will say: "Glorified be You! It was not for us to take any Auliya'
(Protectors, Helpers, etc.)
besides You, but You gave them and their fathers comfort till they
forgot the warning, and became a lost people (doomed
to total loss). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Thus
they (false gods all deities
other than Allah) will give
you (polytheists)
the lie regarding what you say (that
they are gods besides Allah),
then you can neither avert (the
punishment), nor get help. And
whoever among you does wrong (i.e.
sets up rivals to Allah), We
shall make him taste a great torment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And
We never sent before you (O
Muhammad SAW) any of the Messengers
but verily, they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made
some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience? And your
Lord is Ever All-Seer (of everything). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And
those who expect not for a Meeting with Us (i.e.
those who deny the Day of Resurrection and the life of the Hereafter),
say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or why do we not
see our Lord?" Indeed they think too highly of themselves, and
are scornful with great pride. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
On
the Day they will see the angels, no glad tidings will there be for
the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers,
polytheists, sinners, etc.)
that day. And they (angels)
will say: "All kinds of glad tidings are forbidden for you,"
[None will be allowed to enter
Paradise except the one who said: La ilaha ill-Allah, "(none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and acted practically on
its legal orders and obligations]. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And
We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers,
polytheists, sinners, etc.)
did, and We shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles
of dust. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
The
dwellers of Paradise (i.e.
those who deserved it through their Faith and righteousness)
will, on that Day, have the best abode, and have the fairest of places
for repose. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And
(remember)
the Day when the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and the
angels will be sent down, with a grand descending. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
The
sovereignty on that Day will be the true (sovereignty),
belonging to the Most Beneficent (Allah),
and it will be a hard Day for the disbelievers (those
who disbelieve in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
(remember)
the Day when the Zalim (wrong-doer,
oppressor, polytheist, etc.)
will bite at his hands, he will say: "Oh! Would that I had taken
a path with the Messenger (
Muhammad SAW). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
"Ah!
Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
"He
indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this
Qur-an) after it had come to
me. And Shaitan (Satan)
is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And
the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)
will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur-an
(neither listened to it, nor
acted on its laws and orders). |
