The revelation
of this Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Verily We! We
have sent down the Book Unto thee With truth: wherefore worship thou
Allah, making exclusion for Him in religion. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
LO! for Allah
is the religion exclusive. And those who take patrons beside Him,
saying: We Worship them not save in order that they may bring us nigh
Unto God in approach - -verily Allah will judge between them concerning
that wherein they differ. Verily Allah guideth not him who is a liar
and ingrate. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Had Allah willed
to take a son, He could have chosen whatsoever He pleased out of that
which He hath created. Hallowed be He! He is Allah the One, the Subduer. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
He hath created
the heavens and the earth with truth. He rolleth the night around
the day, and rolleth the day around the night, and He hath subjected
the sun and the moon: each running on for a term appointed! Lo! He
is the Mighty, the Forgiver. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
He created you
Of a Single soul, and made his spouse therefrom; and of the cattle
He sent down Unto you eight pairs. He createth you in the bellies
of your mothers, one creation after creation, in a threefold darkness.
Such is Allah, your Lord. His is the dominion, there is no god but
He. Whither then turn ye away? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
If ye disbelieve,
then verily Allah is Independent of you. And He approveth not
of infidelity in His bondmen. And if ye return thanks He approveth
of that in you. No burdened soul shall bear another's burthen. Thereafter
Unto your Lord is Your return; and He shall declare Unto you that
which ye have been Working. Verily He is the Knower of that which
is in the breasts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And when some
hurt toucheth man, he calleth upon his Lord, turning Unto Him in penitence;
then when He bestoweth upon him a favour from Himself, he forgetteth
that for which he called on Him afore, and setteth up peers Unto Allah
that He may lead astray others from His way Say thou: enjoy thou life
in thy infidelity for a while, verily thou art of the fellows of the
Fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Is he who is
devout, in the watches of the night prostrating himself and standing,
bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord to
be dealt with like a wicked infidel? Say thou: shall they who
know and those who know not be held equal? It is only men of understanding
who receive admonition. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Say thou: O
Mine bondmen who believe! fear your Lord. For those who do good in
this world there is good: and Allah's earth is spacious. Verily the
patient shall be paid in full their hire without reckoning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Say thou: verily
I am commanded to worship Allah, making for Him religion exclusive. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And I am commanded
this, in order I may be the first Of those who submit. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Say thou: verily
fear, if I disobeyed my Lord, torment of a Day mighty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Say thou: it
is Allah I worship, making for Him my religion exclusive |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
So worship whatsoever
ye will, besidev him. Say thou:verily the losers are those who shall
have lost themselves and their household" on the Day of judgment
LO! that will be a loss manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
For them! above
them shall be coverings of Fire and beneath them coverings. Therewith
Allah affrighteth His bondmen. O My bondmen! wherefore fear Me. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And those who
avoid the devils lest they should worship them and turn Unto Allah
in penitence, for them are glad tidings. Wherefore give thou glad
tidings Unto My bondmen, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Who hearken
Unto the word and follow that which is the exceLlent there of. These
are they whom Allah hath guided, and those are men of understanding. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Is he then on
whom is justified the decree of torment - wilt thou rescue him who
is in the Fire? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
But those whofear
their Lord, for them are lofty chambers with lofty chambers above
them, built whereunder rivers flow: the promise of Allah, and Allah
faileth not the appointment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Beholdest thou
not that Allah sendeth down water from the heaven, and causeth it
to enter springs in the earth, and thereafter produceth thereby corn
various coloured. Thereafter it wirhereth, and thou beholdest it turn
yellow; then He maketh it chaff. Verily herein is an admonition for
men of understanding. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Shall he then
whose breast Allah hath expanded for Islam, so that he followeth a
light from his Lord be as he whose heart is hardened? Then woe
Unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah.
They are in an error manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Allah hath revealed
the most excellent discourse, a Book consimilar oft-repeated, whereat
trembleth the skins of these who fear their Lord; then their skins
and their hearts soften at the remembrance of Allah. This is Allah's
guidance, wherewith He guideth whomsoever He will. And whomsoever
Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Is he, then,
who will shield himself with his face from the evil of torment on
the Day of Resurrection be as he who is secure therefrom And it shall
be said Unto the wrong-doers:taste ye that which ye have been earning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Those before
them belied, wherefore the torment came on them whence they knew not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
So Allah made
them taste humiliation in the life of the world. And surely the torment
of the Hereafter is greater - if they but know! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And assuredly
We have propounded for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of similitudes,
that haply they may be admonished. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
An Arabic Qur'an,
wherein there is no crookedness, that haply they may fear. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Allah propoundeth
a similitude: man having several partners, "quarelling, and a
man wholly belonging to one man. Are the two equal in likeness? All
praise Unto Allah. But most of them know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Verily thou
art mortal, and verily they are mortals. |
