(It is)
a Scripture that is revealed unto you (Muhammad)--so
let there be no heaviness in your heart therefrom--that you may warn
thereby, and (it is)
a Reminder unto believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
(Saying):
Follow that which is sent down unto you from your Lord, and follow
no protecting friends beside Him. Little do you recollect! |

How many a township have We destroyed!
As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto
them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
No plea had they, when Our terror came
unto them, save that they said: Lo! We were wrong-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Then verily We shall question those
unto whom (Our message)
has been sent, and verily We shall question the messengers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Then verily We shall narrate unto them
(the event)
with knowledge, for verily We were not absent, (when
it came to pass). |
|

The weighing on that day is the true
(weighing).
As for those whose scale is heavy, they are the successful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And as for those whose scale is light:
those are they who lose their souls because they disbelieved Our revelations. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And We have given you (mankind)
power in the earth, and appointed for you therein a livelihood. Little
give you thanks! |
|
|
|
|

And We created you, then fashioned
you, then told the angels: Fall you prostrate before Adam! And they
fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who make prostration. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
He said: What hindered you that you
didst not fall prostrate when I bade you? (Iblis)
said: I am better than him. You createdst me of fire while him You
didst create of mud. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
He said: Then go down hence! It is
not for you to show pride here, so go forth! Lo! you are of those
degraded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
He said: Reprieve me till the day when
they are raised (from the dead). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
He said: Lo! you are of those reprieved. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
He said : Now, because You have sent
me astray, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on Your Right Path. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Then I shall come upon them from before
them and from behind them and from their right bands and from their
left hands, and You will not find most of them beholden (unto
You). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
He said: Go forth from hence, degraded,
banished. As for such of them as follow you, surely I will fill hell
with all of you. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
And (unto
man): O Adam! Dwell you and
your wife in the Garden and eat from whence you will, but come not
nigh this tree lest you become wrong-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Then Satan whispered to them that he
might manifest unto them that which was hidden from them of their
shame, and he said: Your Lord forbade you from this tree only lest
you should become angels or become of the immortals. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And he swore unto them (saying):
Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Thus did he lead them on with guile.
And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them
and they began to hide (by heaping)
on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called
them, (saying):
Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan is an
open enemy to you? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
They said : Our Lord! We have wronged
ourselves. If You forgive us not and have not mercy on us, surely
we are of the lost! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
He said: Go down (from
hence), one of you a foe unto
the other. There will be for you on earth a habitation and provision
for a while. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
He said: There shall you live, and
there shall you die, and thence shall you be brought forth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
O Children of Adam! We have revealed
unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but
the raiment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of the revelations
of Allah, that they may remember. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce
you as he caused your (first)
parents to go forth from the Garden and tore off from them their robe
(of innocence)
that he might manifest their shame to them. Lo! he sees you, he and
his tribe, from whence you see him not. Lo! We have made the devils
protecting friends for those who believe not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And when they do some lewdness they
say: We found our fathers doing it and Allah has enjoined it on us.
Say: Allah, verily, enjoins not lewdness. Tell you concerning Allah
that which you know not? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Say: My Lord enjoins justice. And set
your faces, upright (toward
Him) at every place of worship
and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him (only).
As He brought you into being, so return you (unto
Him). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
A party has He led aright, while error
has just hold over (another)
party, for lo! they choose the devils for protecting friends instead
of Allah and deem that they are rightly guided. |
