Allah! There is no God save Him, the
Alive, the Eternal. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
He has revealed unto you (Muhammad)
the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was (revealed)
before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind;
and has revealed the Criterion
(of right and wrong). Lo! those
who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom.
Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the
wrong). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Lo! nothing in the earth or in the
heavens is hidden from Allah. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
He it is who fashions you in the wombs
as pleases Him. There is no God save Him, the Almighty, the Wise. |
|
|
|
|

He it is Who has revealed unto you
(Muhammad)
the Scripture wherein are clear revelations--They are the substance
of the Book--and others (which
are) allegorical. But those
in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical
seeking (to cause)
dissension by seeking to explain it. None knows its explanation save
Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein;
the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
Our Lord! Cause not our hearts to stray
after You have guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Your Presence.
Lo! You, only You are the Bestower. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Our Lord! it is You Who gathers mankind
together to a Day of which there is no doubt. Lo! Allah fails not
to keep the tryst. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
(On that day)
neither the riches not the progeny of those who disbelieve will aught
avail them with Allah. They will be fuel for fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Like Pharaoh's folk and those who were
before them, they disbelieved Our revelations and so Allah seized
them for their sins. And Allah is severe in punishment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Say (O
Muhammad) unto those who disbelieve:
You shall be overcome and gathered unto Hell, an evil resting place. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
There was a token for you in two hosts
which met: one army fighting in the way of Allah, and another disbelieving,
whom they saw as twice their number, clearly, with their very eyes.
Thus Allah strengthens with His succor whom He will. Lo! herein verily
is a lesson for those who have eyes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Beautified for mankind is love of the
joys (that come)
from women and offspring, and stored up heaps of gold and silver,
and horses branded (with their
mark), and cattle and land.
That is comfort of the life of the world. Allah! With Him is a more
excellent abode. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Say: Shall I inform you of something
better than that? For those who keep from evil, with their Lord, are
Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and pure companions, and contentment
from Allah. Allah is Seer of His bondmen. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Those who say: Our Lord! Lo! we believe.
So forgive us our sins and guard us from the punishment of Fire! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
The steadfast, and the truthful, and
the obedient, those who spend
(and hoard not), those who pray
for pardon in the watches of the night. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Allah (Himself)
is witness that there is no God save Him. And the angels and the men
of learning (too are witness).
Maintaining His creation in justice, there is no God save Him, the
Almighty, the Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Lo! religion with Allah (is)
The Surrender (to His will and
guidance). Those who
(formerly)
received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them,
through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieves the revelations
of Allah (will find that)
Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And if they argue with you,
(O Muhammad),
say: I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so
have) those who follow me. And
say unto those who have received the Scripture and those who read
not: Have you (too)
surrendered? If they surrender, then truly they are rightly guided,
and if they turn away, then it is your duty only to convey the message
(unto them).
Allah is Seer of (His)
bondmen. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations
of Allah, and slay the Prophets wrongfully, and slay those of mankind
who enjoin equity: announce them a painful doom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Those are they whose works have failed
in the world and the Hereafter; and they have no helpers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Have you not seen how those who have
received the Scripture invoke the Scripture of Allah (in
their disputes) that it may
judge between them; then a faction of them turn away, being opposed
(to it)? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
That is because they say: The Fire
will not touch us save for a certain number of days. That which they
used to invent has deceived them regarding their religion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
How (will
it be with them) when We have
brought them all together to a Day of which there is no doubt, when
every soul will be paid in full what it has earned, and they will
not be wronged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Say: O Allah! Owner of Sovereignty!
You givest sovereignty unto whom You will, and You withdraws sovereignty
from whom You will. You exalt whom You will and You abase whom You
will. In Your hand is the good. Lo! You are Able to do all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
You cause the night to pass into the
day, and You cause the day to pass into the night. And You brings
forth the living from the dead, and You brings forth the dead from
the living. And You give sustenance to whom You choose, without stint. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Let not the believers take disbelievers
for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso does that has
no connection with Allah unless (it
be) that you but guard yourselves
against them, taking (as it
were) security. Allah bids you
beware (only)
of Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Say, (O
Muhammad): Whether you hide
that which is in your breasts or reveal it, Allah knows it. He knows
that which is in the heavens and that which is in the earth, and Allah
is Able to do all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
On the day when every soul will find
itself confronted with all that it has done of good and all that it
has done of evil (every soul)
will long that there might be a mighty space of distance between it
and that (evil).
Allah bids you beware of Him. And Allah is full of pity for
(His)
bondmen. |
