Glory to (Allah)
who did take His Servant for Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque
to the Farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless--in order that
We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who hears and
sees (all things). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
We gave Moses the Book, and made it
a Guide to the Children of Israel, (commanding):
"Take not other than Me as Disposer of (your)
affairs." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
O you that are sprung from those whom
We carried (in the Ark)
with Noah! Verily he was a devotee most grateful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And We gave (clear)
warning to the Children of Israel in the Book, that twice would they
do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance
(and twice would they be punished)! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
When the first of the warnings came
to pass, We sent against you Our servants given to terrible warfare.
They entered the very inmost parts of your homes; and it was a warning
(completely)
fulfilled. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
Then did We grant you the Return as
against them: We gave you increase in resources and sons, and made
you the more numerous in manpower. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
If you did well, you did well for yourselves;
if you did evil, (you did it)
against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to pass,
(We permitted your enemies)
to disfigure your faces, and to enter your Temple as they had entered
if before, and to visit with destruction all that fell into their
power. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
It may be that your Lord may
(yet)
show Mercy unto you; but if you revert (to
your sins) We shall revert (to
Our punishments): and We have
made Hell a prison for those who reject (all
Faith). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Verily this Qur-an does guide to that
which is most right (or stable),
and gives the glad tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness,
that they shall have a magnificent reward; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And to those who believe not in the
Hereafter, (it announces)
that We have prepared for them a Penalty grievous (indeed). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
The prayer that human should make for
good, he makes for evil: for man is given to hasty (deeds). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
We have made the Night and the Day
as two (of Our)
Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the
Day We have made to enlighten you; that you may seek Bounty from your
Lord ,and that you may know the number and count of the years: all
things have We explained in detail. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Every man's fate We have fastened on
his own neck: on the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a
scroll, which he will see spread open. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
(It will be said to him:)
"Read your (own)
record; sufficient is your soul this day to make out an account against
you." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Who receives guidance, receives it
for his own benefit: who goes astray does so to his own loss: no bearer
of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with
Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger (to
give warning). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
When We decide to destroy a population,
We (first)
send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things
of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against
them: then We destroy them utterly |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
How many generations have We destroyed
after Noah? And enough is your Lord to note and see the sins of His
servants. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
If any do wish for the transitory things
(of this life),
We readily grant them--such things as We will, to such persons as
We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn
therein, disgraced and rejected. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Those who do wish for the (things
of) the Hereafter, and strive
there for with all due striving and have Faith--they are the ones
whose striving is acceptable (to
Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Of the bounties of your Lord We bestow
freely on all--these as well as those: the bounties of your Lord are
not closed (to anyone). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
See how We have bestowed more on some
than on others; but verily the Hereafter is more in rank and gradation
and more in excellence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Take not with Allah another object
of worship; or you (O man!)
will sit in disgrace and destitution. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Your Lord has decreed that you worship
none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both
of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt,
nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
And, out of kindness, lower to them
the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your
Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Your Lord knows best what is in your
hearts: if you do deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving
to those who turn to Him again and again (in
true penitence). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And render to the kindred their due
rights, as (also)
to those in want, and to the wayfarer: but squander not (your
wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Verily spendthrifts are brothers of
the Evil Ones and the Evil One is to his Lord (Himself)
ungrateful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And even if you have to turn away from
them in pursuit of the Mercy from your Lord which you do expect, yet
speak to them a word of easy kindness. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Make not your hand tied (like
a niggard's) to your neck, nor
stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that you become blameworthy
and destitute. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Verily your Lord does provide sustenance
in abundance for whom He pleases, and He provides in a just measure,
for He does know and regard all His servants. |
