All praise unto
Allah , who created the heavens and the earth and made the darknesses
and the light, yet those who disbelieve equalise others with their
Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He it is who
created you of clay and then decreed a term - and a term determined
is with Him - yet ye waver. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
He is Allah
in the heavens and the earth; He knoweth your secret and your publishment,
and He knoweth that which ye earn. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And not a sign
cometh unto them of the signs of their Lord but that therefore they
have been backsliders. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Surely they
have belied the truth when it came unto them; so presently there cometh
unto them the tidings of that whereat they have been mocking. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Observe
they not how many a generation before them We have destroyed whom
We had established on the earth as We have not established you,
and upon whom We had sent the rains of heaven pouring and under
whom We had made the rivers
flow; yet We destroyed them for their sins and We produced after
them a generation of others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And had We sent
down unto thee a Book written upon parchment so that they could have
touched it with their hands, those who disbelieve would have said:
this is naught but magic manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And they say:
wherefore hath not an angel been sent down unto him? Were We to send
down an angel, the affair would have been decreed and they would not
be respited. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And had We made
him an angel, We would still have made him a man, and We would have
confounded for them that which they are confounding. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And assuredly
mocked were the apostles before thee, wherefore that whereat they
scoffed beset these who had been mocking. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Say thou: go
about in the earth and then see what wise hath been the end of the
beliers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Say thou: whose
is whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth? Say thou: Allah's.
He hath prescribed mercy for Himself. Surely He shall gather you together
on the Day of Judgement whereof there is no doubt. Those who have
lost themselves shall not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
His is whatsoever
dwelleth in the night and the day; and He is the Hearer, the Knower. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Say thou: Shall
I take for a patron any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens
and the earth! And He feedeth, and is not fed. Say thou: I am
commanded that I be the first who submitteth himself, and that: be
thou not of the associaters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Say thou: verily
fear, if disobey my Lord, the torment of a Mighty Day. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
From whomsoever
it is averted on that Day, upon him indeed He has had mercy; that
is a supreme achievement. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
If Allah touch
thee with hurt there is no reverser thereof but he, and if he touch
thee with good, then He is over everything Potent. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
He is the Supreme
above His creatures; and He is the Wise, the Aware. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Say thou: what
thing is the greatest in testimony? Say thou: Allah is Witness between
me and you, and this Qur'an hath been revealed unto me that I may
thereby warn you and whomsoever it may reach. Would ye indeed testify
that there is anot her god together with Allah? Say thou: I testify
not. Say thou: verily He is the One God, and I am quit of that which
ye associate. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Those whom We
have vouchsafed the Book recognise him even as they recognise their
own children. Yet those who have lost themselves will not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And who is a
greater wrong-doer than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah or
belieth His signs? Verily the wrong-doers shall not fare well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And let them
beware the Day whereon We shall gather them all together; then We
shall say unto those who associated: where are your associate-gods
whom ye have been asserting? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Then they will
have no excuse but to say: by God our Lord, we have not been associaters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Behold! how
they lied against themselves! and then failed them that which they
had been fabricating. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And of them
are some who hearken unto thee and We have set over their hearts veils
lest they understand it, and in their ears heaviness, and though they
see any sign they will not believe therein: in as much as when they
come to thee, they dispute with thee. Then who disbelieve say: this
is naught but the fables of the ancients. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And they prohibit
others therefrom, and they withdraw therefrom, and they destroy not
but their own souls while they perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And couldst
thou see what time they shall be held over the Fire, and then they
will say: would that we were sent back and now we shall not belie
the signs of our Lord and we shall be of the believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Yea! manifest
hath become unto them that which they were erst wont to hide. And
were they sent back they would surely return to that which was prohibited
to them, and verily they are perfect liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
And they say:
there is naught but our life of the world, nor are we to be raised. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And couldst
thou see what time they shall be held before their Lord? He will say:
is this not real? They will say: aye! by our Lord! He will say: taste
then the torment for ye have been disbelieving. |
