Praise be to Allah, Who has created
the heavens and the earth, and has appointed darkness and light. Yet
those who disbelieve ascribe rivals unto their Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He it is Who has created you from clay,
and has decreed a term for you. A term is fixed with Him. Yet still
you doubt! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
He is Allah in the heavens and in the
earth. He knows both your secret and your utterance, and He knows
what you earn. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Never came there unto them a revelation
of the revelations of Allah but they did turn away from it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And they denied the truth when it came
unto them. But there will come unto them the tidings of that which
they used to deride. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
See they not how many a generation
We destroyed before them, whom We had established in the earth more
firmly than We have established you, and We shed on them abundant
showers from the sky, and made the rivers flow beneath them. Yet We
destroyed them for their sins, and created after them another generation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Had we sent down unto you (Muhammad)
(actual) writing upon parchment,
so that they could feel it with their hands, those who disbelieve
would have said: This is naught else than mere magic. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
They say: Why has not an angel been
sent down unto him? If We sent down an angel, then the matter would
be judged; no further time would be allowed them (for
reflection). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Had We appointed an angel (Our
messenger), We assuredly had
made him (as)
a man (that he might speak to
men); and (thus)
obscured for them (the
truth) they (now)
obscure. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Messengers (of
Allah) have been derided before
you, but that whereat they scoffed surrounded such of them as did
deride. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Say (unto
the disbelievers): Travel in
the land, and see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Say: Unto whom belongs whatsoever is
in the heavens and the earth? Say: Unto Allah. He has prescribed for
Himself mercy, that He may bring you all together to a Day whereof
there is no doubt. Those who ruin their own souls will not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Unto Him belongs whatsoever rests in
the night and the day. He is the Hearer, the Knower. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Say: Shall I choose for a protecting
friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth,
who feeds and is never fed? Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender
(unto Him)
. And be not you (O Muhammad)
of the idolaters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Say: I fear, if I rebel against my
Lord, the retribution of an Awful Day. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
He from whom (such
retribution) is averted on that
day (Allah)
has in truth had mercy on him. That will be the signal triumph. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
If Allah touch you with affliction,
there is none that can relieve therefrom save Him, and if He touch
you with good fortune (there
is none that can impair it);
for He is Able to do all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
He is the Omnipotent over His slaves,
and He is the Wise, the Knower. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Say (O
Muhammad) : What thing is of
most weight in testimony? Say: Allah is witness between you and me.
And this Qur-an has been inspired in me, that I may warn therewith
you and whomsoever it may reach. Do you in truth bear witness that
there are gods beside Allah? Say: I bear no such witness. Say: He
is only One God. Lo! I am innocent of that which you associate (with
Him). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Those unto whom We gave the Scripture
recognize (this Revelation)
as they recognize their sons. Those who ruin their own souls will
not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Who does greater wrong than he who
invents a lie against Allah and denies His revelations? Lo! the wrong
doers will not be successful |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And on the Day We gather them together
We shall say unto those who ascribed partners (unto
Allah): Where are (now)
those partners of your make-believe? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Then will they have no contention save
that they will say: By Allah, our Lord, we never were idolaters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
See how they lie against themselves,
and (how)
the thing which they devised has failed them! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Of them are some who listen unto you,
but We have placed upon their hearts veils, lest they should understand,
and in their ears a deafness. If they saw every token they would not
believe therein; to the point that, when they come unto you to argue
with you, the disbelievers say: This is naught else than fables of
the men of old. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And they forbid (men)
from it and avoid it, and they ruin none save themselves, though they
perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
If you could see when they are set
before the Fire and say: Oh, would that we might return! Then would
we not deny the revelations of our Lord but we would be of the believers! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Nay, but that has become clear unto
them which before they used to hide. And if they were sent back they
would return unto that which they are forbidden. Lo! they are liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
And they say: There is naught save
our life of the world, and we shall not be raised (again). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
If you could see when they are set
before their Lord! He will say: Is not this real? They will say: Yea,
verily, by our Lord! He will say: Taste now the retribution for that
you used to disbelieve. |
