Alif. Lam. Ra. These are verses of
the wise Scripture. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Is it a wonder for mankind that We
have inspired a man among them, saying: Warn mankind and bring unto
those who believe the good tidings that they have a sure footing with
their Lord? The disbelievers say: Lo! this is a mere wizard. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created
the heavens and the earth in six days, then He established Himself
upon the Throne, directing all things. There is no intercessor
(with Him)
save after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him.
Oh, will you not remind? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Unto Him is the return of all of you;
it is a promise of Allah in truth. Lo! He produces creation, then
reproduces it, that He may reward those who believe and do good works
with equity; while, as for those who disbelieve, theirs will be a
boiling drink and painful doom because they disbelieved. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
He it is Who appointed the sun a splendor
and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that you might
know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not
(all)
that save in truth. He details the revelations for people who have
knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Lo! in the difference of day and night
and all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth are portents,
verily, for folk who ward off (evil). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Lo! those who expect not the meeting
with Us but desire the life of the world and feel secure therein,
and those who are neglectful of Our revelations, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
Their home will be the Fire because
of what they used to earn. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Lo! those who believe and do good works,
their Lord guides them by their faith. Rivers will] flow beneath them
in the Gardens of Delight, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Their prayer therein will be: Glory
be to You, O Allah! and their greeting therein will be: Peace. And
the conclusion of their prayer will be: Praise be to Allah, Lord of
the Worlds! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
If Allah were to hasten on for men
the ill (that they have earned)
as they would hasten on the good, their respite would already have
expired. But We suffer those who look not for the meeting with Us
to wander blindly on in their contumacy. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And if misfortune touch a man he cries
unto Us, (while reclining)
on his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him
of the misfortune he goes his way as though he had not cried unto
Us because of a misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is what they do
made (seeming)
fair unto the prodigal. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
We destroyed the generations before
you when they did wrong; and their messengers (from
Allah) came unto them with clear
proofs (of His Sovereignty)
but they would not believe. Thus do We reward the guilty folk: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Then We appointed you viceroys in the
earth after them, that We might see how you behave. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And when Our clear revelations are
recited unto them they who look not for the meeting with Us say: Bring
a Lecture other than this, or change it. Say (O
Muhammad): It is not for me
to change it of my own accord. I only follow that which is inspired
in me. Lo! If I disobey my Lord I fear the retribution of an awful
Day. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Say: If Allah had so willed I should
not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you.
I dwelt among you a whole lifetime before it (came
to me). Have you then no sense? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Who doth greater
wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah and denieth His
revelations? Lo! the guilty never are successful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
They worship beside Allah that which
neither hurts them nor profits them, and they say: These are our intercessors
with Allah. Say: Would you inform Allah of (something)
that He knows not in the heavens or in the earth? Praised be He and
high exalted above all that you associate (with
Him)! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Mankind were but one community; then
they differed; and had it not been for a word that had already gone
forth from your Lord, it had been judged between them in respect of
that wherein they differ. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And they will say: If only a portent
were sent down upon him from his Lord! Then say (O
Muhammad): The Unseen belongs
to Allah. So wait! Lo, I am waiting with you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And when We cause mankind to taste
of mercy after some adversity which had afflicted them, behold! they
have some plot against Our revelations. Say: Allah is more swift in
plotting. Lo! Our messengers write down that which you plot. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
He it is Who makes you to go on the
land and the sea till, when you are in the ships and they sail with
them with a fair breeze and they are glad therein, a storm- wind reaches
them and the wave comes unto them from every side and they deem that
they are overwhelmed therein; (then)
they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only: If You
deliver us from this, we truly will be of the thankful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Yet when He has delivered them, behold!
they rebel in the earth wrongfully. O mankind! Your rebellion is only
against yourselves. (You have)
enjoyment of the life of the world; then unto Us is your return and
We shall proclaim unto you what you used to do. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
The similitude of the life of the world
is only as water which We send down from the sky, then the earth's
growth of that which men and cattle eat mingles with it till, when
the earth has taken on her ornaments and is embellished, and her people
deem that they are masters of her, Our commandment comes by night
or by day and we make it as reaped corn as if it had not flourished
yesterday. Thus do We expound the revelations for people who reflect. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And Allah summons to the abode of peace,
and leads whom He will to a straight path. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
For those who do good is the best (reward)
and more (thereto).
Neither dust nor ignominy comes near their faces. Such are rightful
owners of the Garden; they will abide therein. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And those who earn ill deeds,
(for them)
requital of each ill deed by the like thereof; and ignominy overtakes
them-They have no protector from Allah--As if their faces had been
covered with a cloak of darkest night. Such are rightful owners of
the Fire; they will abide therein. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
On the day when We gather them all
together, then We say unto those who ascribed partners (unto
Us): Stand back, you and your
(pretended)
partners (of Allah)!
And We separate them, the one from the other, and their (pretended)
partners say: It was not us you worshipped. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Allah suffices as a witness between
us and you, that we were unaware of your worship. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
There does every soul experience that
which it did aforetime, and they are returned unto Allah, their rightful
Lord, and that which they used to invent has failed them. |
