16. Surah An Nahl (The Bees)


1-30 | 31-60 | 61-90 | 91-120 | 121-128

61. If Allah were to take mankind to task for their wrong doing, he would not leave hereon a living creature, but He reprieves them to an appointed term, and when their term comes they cannot put (it) off an hour nor (yet) advance (it).
62. And they assign unto Allah that which they (themselves) dislike, and their tongues expound the lie that the better portion will be theirs. Assuredly theirs will be the Fire, and they will be abandoned.
63. By Allah, We verily sent messengers unto the nations before you, but the devil made their deeds fair seeming unto them. So be is their patron this day, and theirs will be a painful doom.
64. And we have revealed the Scripture unto you only that you mayst explain unto them that wherein they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.
65. Allah sends down water from the sky and therewith revives the earth after her death! Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a folk who hear.
66. And lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers.
67. And of the fruits of the date palm, and grapes, whence you derive strong drink and (also) good nourishment. Lo! therein, is indeed a portent for people who have sense.
68. And your Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose you habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch;
69. Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord, made smooth (for you). There comes forth from their bellies a drink diverse of hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect.
70. And Allah creats you, then causes you to die, and among you is he who is brought back to the most abject stage of life, so that be knows nothing after (having had) knowledge. Lo ! Allah is Knower, Powerful.
71. And Allah has favored some of you above others in provision. Now those who are more favored will by no means hand over their provision to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect thereof. Is it then the grace of Allah that they deny?
72. And Allah has given you wives of your own kind, and has given you, from your wives, sons and grandsons, and has made provision of good things for you. Is it then in vanity that they believe and in the grace of Allah that they disbelieve?
73. And they worship beside Allah that which owns no provision whatsoever for them from the heavens or the earth, nor have they (whom they worship) any power.
74. So coin not similitudes for Allah. Lo! Allah knoweth; you know not.
75. Allah coins a similitude: (on the one hand) a (mere) chattel slave, who has control of nothing, and (on the other hand) one on whom We have bestowed a fair provision from Us, and he spends thereof secretly and openly. Are they equal? Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not.
76. And Allah coins a similitude. Two men, one of them dumb, having control of nothing, and he is a burden on his owner; whithersoever he directs him to go, he brings no good. Is he equal with one who enjoins justice and follows a straight path (of conduct)?
77. And unto Allah belongs the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and the matter of the Hour (of Doom) is but as a winkling of the eye, or it is nearer still. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
78. And Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and hearts that haply {by chance} you might give thanks.
79. Have they not seen the birds obedient in mid-air? None holds them save Allah. Lo! herein, verily, are portents for a people who believe.
80. And Allah has given you in your houses an abode, and has given you (also), of the hides of cattle, houses which you find light (to carry) on the day of migration and on the day of pitching camp; and of their wool and their fur and their hair, caparison and comfort for a while.
81. And Allah has given you, of that which He has created, shelter from the sun; and has given you places of refuge in the mountains, and has given you coats to ward off the heat from you, and coats (of armor) to save you from your own foolhardiness. Thus does He perfect His favor unto you, in order that you may surrender (unto Him).
82. Then, if they turn away, your duty (O Muhammad) is but plain conveyance (of the message).
83. They know the favor of Allah and then deny it. Most of them are ingrates.
84. And (bethink you of) the day when We raise up of every nation a witness, then there is no leave for disbelievers, nor are they allowed to make amends.
85. And when those who did wrong behold the doom, it will not be made light for them, nor will they be reprieved.
86. And when those who ascribed partners to Allah behold those partners of theirs, they will say: Our Lord! these are our partners unto whom we used to cry instead of You. But they will fling to them the saying: Lo! you verily are liars!
87. And they proffer unto Allah submission on that day, and all that they used to invent has failed them.
88. For those who disbelieve and debar (men) from the way of Allah, We add doom to doom because they wrought corruption.
89. And (bethink you of) the day when We raise in every nation a witness against them of their own folk, and We bring you (Muhammad) as a witness against these. And We reveal the Scripture unto you as an exposition of all things, and a guidance and a mercy and good tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah).
90. Lo! Allah enjoins justice and kindness, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbidds lewdness and abomination and wickedness. He exhorts you in order that you may take heed.
