SURAH
IBRAHIM
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Alif-Lam, Ra, This is a Book that We have sent to you
so that you may bring the People from darkness to light by the
command of their Lord towards the path of the Honorable, the
Praiseworthy.
2. Allah, to Whom belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and
whatsoever is in the earth. And there is misery for the infidels
from a severe torment.
3. Those who love the worldly life more than the life of
Hereafter arid bar from the path of Allah and desire crookedness
therein, they are in far off error.
4. And, We have sent each messenger in the language of his
own people that he may tell them clearly. Then Allah leads astray
whomsoever He will and guides whomsoever He will, and He is
the Honorable, the Wise.
5. And, We did send Musa with Our signs, that 'bring your
people from the darkness into the light, and remind them of
the day of Allah. No doubt, in it there are signs for each steadfast,
thankful.
6. And when Musa said to his people, 'remember Allah's favour
upon you, when He delivered you from Frown's people who used
to afflict you worsly, and slaughter your sons and let your
daughters live, and in it there was shown great mercy of your
Lord.
7. And remember, when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you will
be grateful, then I shall give you more, and if you are thankless,
then My torment is severe.'
8. Musa said, 'if you and all others in the earth become
disbelievers, then verily Allah is self-sufficient, Praiseworthy.
9. Have you not received the tidings of those who were before
you, the people of Nuh and Aad, and the Thamud and those after
them? They are known to Allah alone. There came to them their
messengers with bright proofs, but they turned their hands to
their mouths and said, 'we deny that with which you have been
sent, and the path towards which you call us, concerning that
we are in a doubt creating suspense.
10. Their messengers said, 'Is there any doubt in Allah,
the Maker of the heavens and earth? He calls you that He may
forgive some of your sins and may fulfil your life till the
stated time of your death without punishment. They said, 'You
are human being like us. You desire to bar us from that our
fathers used to worship. So bring us a clear authority.
11. Their messengers said to them, 'We are indeed human
beings like yourselves, but Allah bestows His favour on whomsoever
He will of His bondmen. And it is not for us to bring you any'
authority but by the command of Allah. And upon Allah alone
the Muslims should rely.
12. And what happened to us that we should not rely upon
Allah, He has showed us our ways. And we shall surely bear patiently
that with which you are annoying us. And let the trustful put
their trust in Allah alone.
13. And the infidels said to their messengers, 'We shall
surely turn you out of our lands, or you return to our religion.'
Then their Lord revealed to them' We shall surely destroy the
unjust.'
14. And We shall surely make you settle in the land after
them. This is for him who fears standing before Me, and be afraid
of the torment, I have commanded.
15. And they asked for a decision, and every tyrant obstinate
was disappointed.
16. The Hell ran after him and he shall be made to drink
the water of oozing pus.
17. He will take its draught little by little with difficulty
and there shall be no hope to swallow it, and death shall come
to him from all sides but he shall not die. And there is a terrible
torment after him.
18. The condition of the rejecters of their lord is such
that their deeds are like ashes upon which a strong blast of
wind came in a day of storm. They got nothing out of entire
earning. This is the far off error.
19. Did you not see that Allah has made the heavens and
earth with the truth? If He please He can take you away and
bring forth a new creation.
20. And this is not at all hard for Allah.
21. They all shall appear before Allah, then those who were
weak will say to those proud, 'we were under you, can it be
possible for you to put off some of the torment of Allah from
us?' They will say, 'if Allah had guided us, we would have guided
you. It is alike to us whether we show impatience or remain
patient, no where is asylum for us.
22. And the Satan when the matter would have been decided
will say, 'verily Allah had given you a true promise, and whatever
I promised you I made it false to you, and I had no authority
over you, but that I called you, then you responded to me, now
then put no blame upon me, put the blame upon yourselves.' Neither
I could help you nor you could help me. I am strongly disgusted
with that you associated me with Allah before. No doubt, there
is painful torment for the unjust.
23. And those who believed and did good deeds shall be made
to enter gardens, beneath which flow rivers abiding there in
with the command of their Lord. Their greetings at the time
of their meeting are Peace.
24. Did you not see that how Allah has explained the example
of the holy word like a clean tree whose root is firmly standing
and branches are in the heaven.
25. It gives its fruit at all times by the command of its
Lord and Allah propounds examples for the people that they may
understand.
26. And the example of evil word is like an evil tree uprooted
from the earth, now it has no stability.
27. Allah keeps firm the believers on right word in the
life of the world and the Hereafter, and Allah leads astray
the wrong doers, and Allah does what He pleases.
28. Did you not see those who changed the favour of Allah
with un-thankfulness and have brought their people into the
abode of ruin.
29. That which is Hell, they shall enter in it, what an
evil place to stay?
30. And they have set up equals for Allah that they might
lead astray from His path. Say you, enjoy a little, verily your
end is the Fire.
31. Say to My those bondmen who believed that they should
keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly
and openly before the coming of that day in which there shall
be neither trading nor friendship.
32. Allah Is He who made the heavens and earth and caused
water to come down from the heaven, then He produced some fruits
therewith for your food, and He made the ships subservient to
you that they may sail through the sea by His command and made
the rivers subservient to you.
33. And He made the sun and moon subservient for you, which
are constantly moving, and made the day and night subservient
for you.
34. And He gave you many things you asked for. And if you
count the favours of Allah, you cannot count. No doubt, man
is very unjust, un-thankful.
35. And recall when Ibrahim submitted, 'O my Lord make this
city secure. and save me and my sons from worshipping the idols.
36. 'My Lord, verily the idols have led astray many people.
then who sided with me is mine and who disobeyed me. Then you
are certainly Forgiving, Merciful.
37. 'O my Lord, I have caused some of my children to settle
in a valley wherein there is no cultivation by your sacred House,
O our Lord in order that they might keep up prayer, then You
make some people's hearts incline toward them and give them
some fruits for food, haply they may be thankful.
38. 'O our Lord, you know what we conceal and what we disclose.
And nothing is concealed from Allah in the earth or in the heaven.
39. All praise to Allah Who has given me Ismail and Ishaque
in old age. Verily my Lord is the Hearer of prayer.
40. 'O my Lord, keep me as establisher of prayer and some
of my children too, O our Lord, and accept my prayer.
41. 'O our Lord, forgive me, and my parents and all Muslims
on the Day when reckoning shall take place.
42. And never consider Allah unaware of the deeds of the
unjust. He is not letting them loose but to a day in which their
eyes shall remain staring.
43. They will come out running rashly raising their heads
high, that their eyelashes do not turn back towards them, and
there will be no strength in their hearts.
44. And warn mankind of the day when the torment shall come
to them, then the unjust shall say, 'O our Lord, grant us respite
for a short term that we may respond to your call and follow
the messengers'. Did you not swear before that we are not to
go anywhere moving from the world?
45. And you settled down in the dwellings of those who did
evil to them selves and it was clear to you, how We did with
them and We explained to you giving examples.
46. And verily they devise their plans and their plans are
under the control of Allah and their planning was not such as
to remove these mountains.
47. Therefore never consider that Allah will go against
His promise to His messengers. No doubt, Allah is Dominant,
the Lord of retribution.
48. The day when the earth shall be changed other than this
earth and the heavens too, and all shall come out standing before
Allah, the One Who is Dominant overall.
49. And you will see the guilty on that Day bound together
in chains.
50. Their shirt shall be of pitch and the fire shall cover
their faces.
51. In order that Allah may reward every soul according
to its earning. No doubt, Allah is not late in reckoning.
52. This is to deliver the commands to mankind and that
they may be warned therewith and that they may know that He
is only one God and that the men of wisdom may accept admonition.
