Alif. Lam Mim |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
This Book whereof there
is no doubt, is a guidance unto the God-fearing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Who believe in the Unseen,
and establish prayer, and out of that wherewith We have provided them
expend. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And who believe in that
which hath been sent down unto thee and that which hath been sent
down before thee and of the Hereafter they are convinced. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
These are on guidance
from their Lord, and these they are the blissful ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Verily those who have
disbelieved, it is equal to them whether thou warnest them or warnest
them not; they will not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Allah hath set a seal
upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their sights is
a covering; and unto them shall be a torment mighty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And of mankind are some
who say: we believe in Allah and in the Last Day: whereas they are
not believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
They would deceive Allah
and those who believe, whereas they deceive not save themselves, and
they perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
In their hearts is a
disease, so Allah hath increased unto them that disease; and unto
them shall be a torment afflictive, for they have been lying. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And when it said unto
them: act not corruptly on the earth, they say: we are but reconcilers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Lo! verily it is they
who are the corrupters, and yet they perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And when it said unto
them: believe even as mankind have believed, they say: shall we believe
even as the fools have believed? Lo! verily it is they who are the
fools; and yet they now not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And when they meet those
who have believed, they say: We believe. And when they are alone with
their Satans, they say: verily we are with you, we were but mocking. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Allah mocketh back at
them, and letteth them in their exorbitance wander bewildered. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
These are they who purchased
error for guidance, but their traffic profited not, nor have they
ever become guided. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Their likeness is as
the likeness of him who kindleth a fire, then when it hath lit up
that which is around him, Allah taketh away their light and leaveth
them in darknesses where they see not |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Deaf, dumb, blind; wherefore
they will not return. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
like unto a rain--laden
cloud from heaven, wherein are darknesses and thunder and lightening.
They so put their fingers in their ears because of the thunder-claps,
guarding against death, and Allah is Encompasser of the infidels. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
The lightning well-nigh
snatcheth away their sight; whensoever it flasheth on them, they walk
therein, and when it becometh dark unto them, they stand still. And
had Allah willed He would of a surety have taken away their hearing
and their sights; verily Allah is over everything potent. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
O Mankind worship your
Lord who hath created you and those before you, haply ye may become
God-fearing- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Who hath made the earth
for you a carpet and the heaven a structure, and sent down from heaven
water, and brought forth therewith fruits as a Provision for you;
wherefore set not up compeers unto Allah while ye know. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And if ye be in doubt
concerning that which We have revealed unto Our bondsman, then bring
a chapter like thereunto, and call your witnesses as against Allah,
if ye say sooth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
But if ye do it not,
--and by no means ye shall, --then dread the Fire, the fuel whereof
is men and stones, gotten ready for the infidels. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And bear thou the glad
tidings unto those who believe and do righteous works that verily
for them shall be Gardens whereunder rivers flow. So oft as they shall
be provided with a fruit therefrom they will say: this is that wherewith
we were provided afore; and they shall be vouchsafed that which is
consimilar; and for them shall be therein spouses purified, and therein
they shall be abiders. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Verily Allah is not
ashamed to propound a similitude, be it of a gnat or of aught above
it. Then as to those who believe, they know that it is the truth from
their Lord. And to those who disbelieve, they say what intendeth God
by similitude? He sendeth many astray thereby, and He guideth many
thereby, and He sendeth not astray thereby any except the transgressors, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Who break the covenant
of Allah after the ratification thereof, and sunder that which Allah
hath commanded should be joined, and act corruptly on the earth. These!
they are the losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
How will ye disbelieve
in Allah whereas ye were lifeless and he quickened you; thereafter
He will cause you to die, thereafter He will give you life, thereafter
unto Him ye shall be returned! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
He it is who created
for you all that is on the earth, thereafter He turned to the heaven,
and formed them seven heavens. And He is of everything the Knower. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And recall what time
thine Lord said unto the angels: verily I am going to place a vicegerent
On the earth. They said: wilt Thou place therein one who will act
corruptly therein and shed blood While we hallow Thine praise and
glorify Thee! Allah said: verily I know that which ye know not. |
