All praises and thanks
be to Allah, Who (Alone)
created the heavens and the earth, and originated the darkness and
the light, yet those who disbelieve hold others as equal with their
Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He it is Who has
created you from clay, and then has decreed a stated term
(for you to die). And there is
with Him another determined term
(for you to be resurrected),
yet you doubt (in the Resurrection). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And He is Allah
(to be worshipped Alone)
in the heavens and on the earth; He knows what you conceal and what
you reveal, and He knows what you earn
(good or bad). (See V.43:84) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And never an Ayah
(sign)
comes to them from the Ayat
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
of their Lord, but that they have been turning away from it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Indeed, they rejected
the truth (the Qur-an and Muhammad
SAW) when it came to them, but
there will come to them the news of that
(the torment) which they used
to mock at. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Have they not seen how
many a generation before them We have destroyed whom We had established
on the earth such as We have not established you? And We poured out
on them rain from the sky in abundance, and made the rivers flow under
them. Yet We destroyed them for their sins, and created after them
other generations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And even if We
had sent down unto you (O Muhammad
SAW) a Message written on paper
so that they could touch it with their hands, the disbelievers would
have said: "This is nothing but obvious magic!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And they say: "Why has
not an angel been sent down to him?" Had We sent down an angel, the
matter would have been judged at once, and no respite would be granted
to them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And had We appointed
him an angel, We indeed would have made him a man, and We would have
certainly confused them in which they are already confused (i.e.
the Message of Prophet Muhammad SAW). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And indeed
(many) Messengers before you
were mocked at, but their scoffers were surrounded by the very thing
that they used to mock at. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Say
(O Muhammad SAW): "Travel in
the land and see what was the end of those who rejected truth." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Say
(O Muhammad SAW): "To whom belongs
all that is in the heavens and the earth?" Say: "To Allah. He has
prescribed Mercy for Himself. Indeed He will gather you together on
the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. Those who
have lost themselves will not believe [in
Allah as being the only Ilah (God), and Muhammad SAW as being one
of His Messengers, and in Resurrection]. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And to Him belongs whatsoever
exists in the night and the day, and He is the AllHearing, the AllKnowing." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Say
(O Muhammad SAW): "Shall I take
as a Wali (helper, protector,
etc.) any other than Allah, the
Creator of the heavens and the earth? And it is He Who feeds but is
not fed." Say: "Verily, I am commanded to be the first of those who
submit themselves to Allah (as
Muslims)." And be not you
(O Muhammad SAW)
of the Mushrikun [polytheists,
pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah]. (Tafsir
Al-Qurtubi) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Say: "I fear, if I disobey
my Lord, the torment of a Mighty Day." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
He who is averted
from (such a torment)
on that Day, (Allah)
has surely been Merciful to him. And that would be the obvious success. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And if Allah touches
you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with
good, then He is Able to do all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And He is the
Irresistible, (Supreme)
above His slaves, and He is the All-Wise, WellAcquainted with all
things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Say
(O Muhammad SAW): "What thing
is the most great in witness?" Say: "Allah
(the Most Great!) is Witness
between me and you; this Qur-an has been revealed to me that I may
therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. Can you verily bear
witness that besides Allah there are other aliha (gods)?"
Say "I bear no (such)
witness!" Say: "But in truth He
(Allah) is the only one Ilah
(God).
And truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Those to whom
We have given the Scripture
(Jews and Christians) recognize
him (i.e. Muhammad SAW as a
Messenger of Allah, and they also know that there is no Ilah (God)
but Allah and Islam is Allah's Religion),
as they recognize their own sons. Those who have lost
(destroyed) themselves will not
believe. (Tafsir At-Tabari) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And who does more aggression
and wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Ayat
(proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons or revelations)?
Verily, the Zalimun (polytheists
and wrongdoers)
shall never be successful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And on the Day
when We shall gather them all together, then We shall say to those
who joined partners in worship
(with Us): "Where are your partners
(false deities)
whom you used to assert (as
partners in worship with Allah)?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
There will then
be (left)
no Fitnah (excuses or statements
or arguments) for them but to
say: "By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who joined others in worship
with Allah." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Look! How they
lie against themselves! But the
(lie) which they invented will
disappear from them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And of them there
are some who listen to you; but We have set veils on their hearts,
so they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they see
every one of the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
they will not believe therein; to the point that when they come to
you to argue with you, the disbelievers say: "These are nothing but
tales of the men of old." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And they prevent
others from him (from following
Prophet Muhammad SAW) and they
themselves keep away from him, and
(by doing so) they destroy not
but their ownselves, yet they perceive
(it) not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
If you could but
see when they will be held over the
(Hell) Fire! They will say:
"Would that we were but sent back
(to the world)! Then we would
not deny the Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, revelations, etc.)
of our Lord, and we would be of the believers!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Nay, it has become
manifest to them what they had been concealing before. But if they
were returned (to the world),
they would certainly revert to that which they were forbidden. And
indeed they are liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
And they said:
"There is no (other life)
but our (present)
life of this world, and never shall we be resurrected
(on the Day of Resurrection)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
If you could but
see when they will be held (brought
and made to stand) in front
of their Lord! He will say: "Is not this
(Resurrection and the taking of the accounts)
the truth?" They will say: "Yes, by our Lord!" He will then say: "So
taste you the torment because you used not to believe." |
