AlifLamMimSad.
[These letters are one of the
miracles of the Qur-an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. |

(This
is the) Book
(the Qur-an) sent down unto you
(O Muhammad SAW),
so let not your breast be narrow there from, that you warn thereby,
and a reminder unto the believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
[Say (O Muhammad SAW) to these idolaters
(pagan Arabs) of your folk:]
Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the
Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad's Sunnah),
and follow not any Awliya' (protectors
and helpers who order you to associate partners in worship with Allah),
besides Him (Allah).
Little do you remember! |

And
a great number of towns (their
population) We destroyed
(for their crimes). Our torment
came upon them (suddenly)
by night or while they were taking their midday nap. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
No
cry did they utter when Our Torment came upon them but this: "Verily,
we were Zalimun (polytheists
and wrongdoers)". |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Then
surely, We shall question those
(people) to whom it
(the Book) was sent and verily,
We shall question the Messengers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Then
surely, We shall narrate unto them
(their whole story) with knowledge,
and indeed We have not been absent. |
|

And
the weighing on that day (Day
of Resurrection) will be the
true (weighing).
So as for those whose scale
(of good deeds) will be heavy,
they will be the successful
(by entering Paradise). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And
as for those whose scale will be light, they are those who will lose
their ownselves (by entering
Hell) because they denied and
rejected Our Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And
surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein
provisions (for your life).
Little thanks do you give. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And
surely, We created you (your
father Adam) and then gave you
shape (the noble shape of a
human being), then We told the
angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam", and they prostrated themselves,
except Iblis (Satan),
he refused to be of those who prostrated themselves. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
(Allah)
said: "What prevented you (O
Iblis) that you did not prostrate
yourself, when I commanded you?" Iblis said: "I am better than him
(Adam),
You created me from fire, and him You created from clay." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
(Allah)
said: "(O Iblis)
get down from this (Paradise),
it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those
humiliated and disgraced." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
(Iblis)
said: "Allow me respite till
the Day they are raised up (i.e.
the Day of Resurrection)." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
(Allah)
said: "You are of those respited." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
(Iblis)
said: "Because You have sent
me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them
(human beings) on Your Straight
Path. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Then
I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right
and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful
ones (i.e. they will not be
dutiful to You)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
(Allah)
said (to Iblis)
"Get out from this (Paradise)
disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them
(mankind) will follow you, then
surely I will fill Hell with you all." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
"And
O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in Paradise, and eat thereof as you
both wish, but approach not this tree otherwise you both will be of
the Zalimun (unjust and wrongdoers)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Then
Shaitan (Satan)
whispered suggestions to them both in order to uncover that which
was hidden from them of their private parts (before);
he said: "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save that you should
become angels or become of the immortals." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And
he [Shaitan (Satan)]
swore by Allah to them both (saying):
"Verily, I am one of the sincere wellwishers for you both." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
So
he misled them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree,
that which was hidden from them of their shame
(private parts) became manifest
to them and they began to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise
(in order to cover their shame).
And their Lord called out to them (saying):
"Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: Verily, Shaitan
(Satan) is an open enemy unto
you?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
They
said: "Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not,
and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
(Allah)
said: "Get down, one of you an enemy to the other [i.e.
Adam, Hawwa (Eve), and
Shaitan (Satan)]. On earth will
be a dwellingplace for you and an enjoyment, - for a time." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
He
said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from
it you shall be brought out (i.e.resurrected)." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
O
Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover yourselves
(screen your private parts)
and as an adornment, and the raiment of righteousness, that is better.
Such are among the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
of Allah, that they may remember
(i.e. leave falsehood and follow truth). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
O
Children of Adam! Let not Shaitan
(Satan) deceive you, as he got
your parents [Adam and Hawwa (Eve)]
out of Paradise, stripping them of their raiment's, to show them their
private parts. Verily, he and Qabiluhu (his soldiers
from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see
them. Verily, We made the Shayatin
(devils) Awliya'
(protectors and helpers) for
those who believe not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And
when they commit a Fahisha (evil
deed, going round the Ka'bah in naked state, every kind of unlawful
sexual intercourse), they say:
"We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has commanded it on us."
Say: "Nay, Allah never commands Fahisha. Do you say of Allah what
you know not? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Say
(O Muhammad SAW):
My Lord has commanded justice and
(said) that you should face
Him only (i.e. worship none
but Allah and face the Qiblah, i.e. the Ka'bah at Makkah during prayers)
in every place of worship, in prayers
(and not to face other false deities and idols),
and invoke Him only making your religion sincere to Him
(by not joining in worship any partner with Him and with the intention
that you are doing your deeds for Allah's sake only. As He brought
you (into being) in the beginning,
so shall you be brought into being
[on the Day of Resurrection in two groups, one as a blessed one (believers),
and the other as a wretched one (disbelievers)]. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
A
group He has guided, and a group deserved to be in error;
(because) surely they took the
Shayatin (devils)
as Awliya' (protectors and helpers)
instead of Allah, and think
that they are guided. |
