Praise be to Allah, Who created the
heavens and the earth, and made the Darkness and the Light. Yet those
who reject Faith hold (others)
as equal with their Guardian-Lord. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
He it is who created you from clay,
and then decreed a stated term (for
you). And there is in His Presence
another determined term; yet you doubt within yourselves! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And He is Allah in the heavens and
on earth. He knows what you hide, and what you reveal, and He knows
the (recompense)
which you earn (by your deeds). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
But never did a single one of the Signs
of their Lord reach them, but they turned away there from. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And now they reject the truth when
it reaches them; but soon shall they learn the reality of what they
used to mock at. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
See they not how many of those before
them We did destroy? - Generations We had established on the earth,
in strength such as We have not given to you - for whom We poured
out rain from the skies in abundance, and gave (fertile)
streams flowing beneath their
(feet): yet for their sins We
destroyed them, and raised in their wake fresh generations
(to succeed them). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
If We had sent unto you a written (Message)
on parchment, so that they could touch it with their hands, the Unbelievers
would have been sure to say: "This is nothing but obvious magic!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
They say: "Why is not an angel
sent down to him?" If We did send down an angel, the matter would
be settled at once, and no respite would be granted them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
If We had made it an angel, We should
have sent him as a human, and We should certainly have caused them
confusion in a matter which they have already covered with confusion. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Mocked were (many)
Messengers before you; but the scoffers were hemmed in by the thing
that they mocked. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Say: "Travel through the earth
and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Say: "To whom belongs all that
is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To Allah. He has
inscribed for Himself (the rule
of) Mercy that He will gather
you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever.
It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
"To Him belongs all that dwells
(or lurks)
in the Night and the Day. For He is the One Who hears and knows all
things.” |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Say: "Shall I take for my protector
any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? And
He is that feeds but is not fed." Say: "Nay! but I am commanded
to be the first of those who bow to Allah
(in Islam), and be not you of
the company of those who join gods with Allah." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Say: "I would, if I disobeyed
my Lord, indeed have fear of the Penalty of a Mighty Day. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
"On that day, if the Penalty is
averted from any, it is due to Allah's Mercy; and that would be 6.
(Salvation),
the obvious fulfillment of all desire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
"If Allah touch you with affliction,
none can remove it but He; if He touch you with happiness, He has
power over all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
"He is the Irresistible,
(watching)
from above over His worshippers; and He is the Wise, acquainted with
all things." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Say: "What thing is most weighty
in evidence?" Say: "Allah is Witness between me and you;
this Qur-an has been revealed to me by inspiration that I may warn
you and all whom it reaches. Can you possibly bear witness that besides
Allah there is another god?" Say: "Nay! I cannot bear witness!"
Say: "But in truth He is the One God, and I truly am innocent
of (your blasphemy of)
joining others with Him.” |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Those to whom We have given the Book
know this as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their own
souls refuse therefore to believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Who does more wrong than he who invents
a lie against Allah or rejects his Signs? But verily the wrong-doers
never shall prosper. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
One day shall We gather them all together:
We shall say to those who ascribed partners (to
Us): "Where are the partners
whom you (invented and)
talked about?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
There will then be (left)
no subterfuge for them but to say: "By Allah Our Lord, we were
not those who joined gods with Allah." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Behold! how they lie against their
own souls! But the (lie)
which they invented will leave them in the lurch. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Of them there are some who
(pretend to)
listen to you; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, so they understand
it not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the Signs,
not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to you,
they (but)
dispute with you; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but
tales of the ancients." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Others they keep away from it, and
themselves they keep away; but they only destroy their own souls,
and they perceive it not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
If you could but see when they are
confronted with the fire! They will say: "Would that we were
but sent back! then would we not reject the Signs of our Lord, but
would be amongst those who believe!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Yes, in their own (eyes)
will become manifest what before they concealed but if they were returned,
they would certainly relapse to the things they were forbidden, for
they are indeed liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
And they (sometimes)
say: "There is nothing except our life on this earth, and never
shall we be raised up again." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
If you could but see when they are
confronted with their Lord! He will say: "Is not this the truth?"
They will say: "Yes, by our Lord!" He will say: "Taste
you then the Penalty, because you rejected Faith." |
