The
affair of Allah cometh, so seek not to hasten it. Hallowed be He and
Exalted above that which they associate. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He
sendeth down the angels with the spirit by His command upon whomsoever
of his bondmen He willeth: warn that there is no god but I, wherefore
fear Me. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
He
hath created the heavens and the earth with a purpose. Exalted is
He above that which they associate. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
He
hath created man from a drop, and Lo! he is a disputer open. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And
the cattle! He hath created them. For you in them there is warmth
and other profits and of them ye eat. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
for you there is beauty in them as ye drive them at eventide and as
ye drive them out to pasture. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
they bear Your loads to a city Which ye could not reach except with
travail of souls; verily your Lord is Kind, Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And
He hath created horses and mules and asses that ye may ride there
on, and as an adornment; and He createth that which ye know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And
upon Allah is the direction of the way, and thereof is some crooked;
and had He willed He would have guided you all. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
He
it is who sendeth down from the heaven water for you, wherefrom is
drinking and wherefrom are trees whereas ye pasture your herds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
He
groweth for you thereby the corn and olives and date-palms and grapes
and all kinds of fruit. Verily therein is a sign for a people who
ponder. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And
He hath subiected for you the night and the day and the sun and the
moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Verily therein are
signs for a people who understand. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And
He hath subjected for you whatsoever He hath multiplied for you on
the earth of various kinds. Verily therein is a sign for a people
who receive admonition. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And
He it is who hath subjected the sea that ye may eat thereout flesh
fresh and bring forth therefrom ornaments that ye wear. And thou beholdest
ships ploughing therein, and it is in order that ye may seek of His
grace, and that haply ye may give thanks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And
He hath cast on the earth firm mountains lest it move away with you,
and rivers and paths that haply ye may be directed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
also landmarks; and by the stars they are guided. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Is
there one who createth like unto one who createth not? Will ye not
then be admonished? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And
if ye would count the favours of Allah ye could not compute them verily
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
And
Allah knoweth that which ye keep secret and that which ye publish. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And
those upon whom they call beside Allahls have not created aught, and
are themselves created. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Dead
are they, not alive; and they perceive not when they will be raised
up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
God
of you all is One God; so those who believe not in the Hereafter-their
hearts are perverse and they are stiff-necked. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Undoubtedly
Allah knoweth that which they keep secret and that which they publish;
verily He loveth not the stiff- necked. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
And
when it is said unto them: what is it that your Lord hath sent down?
they say: fables of the ancient. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
That
they may bear their burthens in full on the Judgment-Day and also
some of the burthens of those whom they have led astray without knowledge.
Lo! vile is that which they shall bear! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Surely
there plotted those before them, but Allah came upon their structures
from the foundations, so the roof fell down upon them from above them
and the torment came upon them whence they perceived not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Then
on the Judgment-Day He will humiliate them and say: where are My associates
regarding whom ye have been causing cleavage? Those who have been
vouchsafed knowledge will say: verily the humiliation to-day and ill-hap
are upon the infidels- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Those
whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging them selves,
and then they proffer submission: we have not been working any evil.
Yea! verily Allah is the Knower of that which ye have been working. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Wherefore
enter the portals of Hell as abiders therein. Vile is the abode of
the arrogant |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And
when it is said unto those who fear: what is it that your Lord hath
sent down? They say: that which is better. For those who do good is
good in this world, and the dwelling of the Hereafter is better. Excellent
is the dwelling of the God-fearing! |
