Alif. Lam. Mim |

This is the Scripture whereof there
is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Who believe in the unseen, and establish
worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And who believe in that which is revealed
unto You (Muhammad)
and that which was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
These depend on guidance from their
Lord. These are the successful |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
As for the disbelievers, whether you
warn them or you warn them not it is all one for them; they believe
not |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Allah hath sealed their hearing and
their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be
an awful doom |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And of mankind are some who say: We
believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
They think to beguile Allah and those
who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive
not |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
In their hearts is a disease, and Allah
increases their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And when it is said unto them: Make
not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Are not they indeed the mischief makers?
But they perceive not |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And when it is said unto them: Believe
as the people believe, they say: Shall we believe as the foolish believe?
Are not they indeed the foolish? But they know not |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And when they fall in with those who
believe, they say: We believe; but when they go apart to their devils
they declare: Lo! we are with you; verily we did but mock |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Allah (Himself)
does mock them, leaving them to wander blindly on in their contumacy |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
These are they who purchase error at
the price of guidance, so their commerce does not prosper, neither
are they guided |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Their likeness is as the likeness of
one who kindles fire, and when it sheds its light around him Allah
takes away their light and leaves them in darkness, where they cannot
see |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Deaf, dumb and blind; and they return
not |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein
is darkness, thunder and the flash of lightning. They thrust their
fingers in their ears by reason of the thunder-claps, for fear of
death. Allah encompasses the disbelievers (in
His guidance) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
The lightning almost snatches away
their sight from them. As often as it flashes forth for them they
walk therein, and when it darkens against them they stand still. If
Allah willed, He could destroy their hearing and their sight. Lo!
Allah is Able to do all things |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
O mankind! Worship your Lord, Who has
created you and those before you, so that ye may ward off
(evil) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Who has appointed the earth a resting-place
for you, and the sky a canopy; and causes water to pour down from
the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you. And do not set
up rivals to Allah when ye know (better) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And if ye are in doubt concerning that
which We reveal unto Our slave
(Muhammad), then produce a Surah
or the like thereof, and call your witnesses beside Allah if you are
truthful |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
And if ye do it not and you can never
do it--then guard yourselves against the fire prepared for disbelievers,
whose fuel is of men and stones |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And give glad tidings (O
Muhammad) unto those who believe
and do good works; that theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers
flow; as often as they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof,
they say: This is what was given us aforetime; and it is given to
them in resemblance. There for them are pure companions; there for
ever they abid |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Lo! Allah disdains not to coin the
similitude even of a gnat. Those who believe know that it is the truth
from their Lord; but those who disbelieve say: What does Allah wish
(to teach)
by such a similitude? He misleads many thereby, and He guides many
thereby; and He misleads hereby only miscreants |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Those who break the covenant of Allah
after ratifying it and sever that which Allah ordered to be joined,
and (who)
make mischief in the earth: Those are they who are the losers |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
How disbelieve you in Allah when you
were dead and He gave life to you! Then he will give you death, then
life again, and then unto Him you will return |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
He it is Who created for you all that
is in the earth. Then turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as
seven heavens. And He is Knower of all things |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And when thy Lord said unto the angels:
Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: will You
place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while
we, we hymn Your praise and sanctify You? He said: Surely I know that
which you know not |
