(Inevitably)
comes (to pass)
the Command of Allah: seek you not then to hasten it: glory to Him,
and far is He above having the partners they ascribe unto Him! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He
does send down His angels with inspiration of His Command, to such
of His servants as He pleases, (saying):
"Warn (Man)
that there is no god but I: so do your duty unto Me." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
He
has created the heavens and the earth for just ends: far is He above
having the partners they ascribe to Him! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
He
has created man from a sperm drop; and behold this same (man)
becomes an open disputer! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And
cattle He has created for you (men):
from them you derive warmth, and numerous benefits, and of their (meat)
you eat. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
you have a sense of pride and beauty in them as you drive them home
in the evening, and as you lead them forth to pasture in the morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
they carry your heavy loads to lands that you could not
(otherwise) reach except with
souls distressed: for your Lord is indeed Most Kind, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And
(He has created)
horses, mules, and donkeys, for you to ride and use for show; and
He has created (other)
things of what you have no knowledge |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And
unto Allah leads straight the Way, but there are ways that turn aside:
if Allah had willed, He could have guided all of you. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
It
is He Who sends down rain from the sky. From it you drink, and out
of it (grows)
the vegetation on which you feed your cattle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
With
it He produces for you corn, olives, date-palms, grapes, and every
kind of fruit: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
He
has made subject to you the Night and the Day; the Sun and the Moon;
and the Stars are in subjection by His Command: verily in this are
signs for men who are wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
And
the things on this earth which He has multiplied in varying colors
(and qualities):
verily in this is a Sign for men who celebrate the praises of Allah
(in gratitude). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
It
is He Who has made the sea subject, that you may eat thereof flesh
that is fresh and tender, and that you may extract there from ornaments
to wear, and you see the ships therein that plough the waves, that
you may seek (thus)
of the bounty of Allah and that you may be grateful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And
He has set up on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should
shake with you; and rivers and roads; that you may guide yourselves, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
marks and signposts; and by the stars (men)
guide themselves |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Is
then He Who creates like one that creates not? Will you not receive
admonition |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
If
you would count up the favors of Allah, never would you be able to
number them; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
And
Allah does know what you conceal, and what you reveal |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Those
whom they invoke besides Allah create nothing and are themselves created. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
(They
are things) dead, lifeless:
nor do your know when they will be raised up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Your
Allah is One Allah: as to those who believe not in the Hereafter,
their hearts refuse to know, and they are arrogant. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Undoubtedly,
Allah does know what they conceal, and what they reveal: verily He
loves not the arrogant. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
When
it is said to them, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?"
They say, "Tales of the ancients!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Let
them bear, on the Day of Judgment, their own burdens in full, and
also (something)
of the burdens of those without knowledge, whom they misled. Alas,
how grievous the burdens they will bear! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Those
before them did also plot (against
Allah's Way): but Allah took
their structures from their foundations, and the roof fell down on
them from above; and the Wrath seized them from directions they did
not perceive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Then,
on the Day of Judgment, He will cover them with shame, and say: "Where
are My 'partners' concerning whom you used to dispute (with
the godly)?" Those endued
with knowledge will say: "This Day, indeed, are the Unbelievers
covered with Shame and Misery-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
"(Namely)
those whose lives the angels take in a state of wrongdoing to their
own souls. Then would they offer submission (with
the pretense), 'We did no evil
(knowingly).'
" (The angels will reply),
"Nay, but verily Allah knows all that you did; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
"So
enter the gates of Hell, to dwell therein. Thus evil indeed is the
abode of the arrogant." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
To
the righteous (when)
it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" They
say, "All that is good." To those who do good, there is
good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better.
And excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous-- |
