SURAH
ISREAL
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Holy is He Who carried His bondman by night from the
sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque (Aqsa) around which We have
put blessings that We might show him Our grand signs. No doubt,
He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
2. And We gave Musa the Book and made it a guidance to the
children of Israel that take not any other as disposer of affairs
besides Me.
3. O! You the offspring of those whom We bore with Nuh.
No doubt. He was a great thankful by man.
4. And We revealed to the children of Israel in the Book
that certainly, you shall create mischief in the earth for the
second time and necessarily you shall be proud excessively.
5. Then when the promise of first time came to them, We
sent against you Our bondmen as the strong warrior, then they
entered into the cities for your search, and it was a promise
to be fulfilled.
6. Then We made your attack turned over them and helped
you with wealth and sons and increased your band in number.
7. If you will do good' will do for yourself and if you
will do bad, it will be for you. Then when the promise of the
second time came that the enemies might deface your faces, and
enter into the Mosque as they had entered it first time and
may destroy utterly whatsoever may fall under their power.
8. It is near that y our Lord may show His Mercy over you'
and if you again create mischief, then We shall again turn towards
Our torment. And We have made the Hell a prison for the infidels.
9. No doubt, this Quran shows that path which is straightest
and gives good tidings to the believers who do good deeds that
they shall have a great reward.
10. And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter,
We have prepared for them a painful torment.
11. And the man prays for bad as he prays for good. And
' the man is very hasty.
12. And We made night and day, as two signs, then put the
signs of the night blotted and the sign of the day shining.
that you may seek grace of Allah and that you may know the numbering
of years, and the reckoning. And We have explained well every
thing separately.
13. And We have tied to his neck the destiny of every man.
And We shall bring out for him on the Day of Judgement a writing,
which he will find wide open.
14. It will be said to him, 'read your book. Today you yourself
are good for your reckoning.
15. Whosoever came to guidance, he came to guidance for
his own good, and whosoever strayed, he strayed for his own
evil. And no soul-bearing burden will bear the burden of another.
And We are not to torment until We have sent a messenger.
16. And when We intend to destroy any town, We send Our
Commands to its well-to-do people, then they disobey therein,
then the word is fulfilled on them, and then We destroy it with
complete ruination.
17. And many a generation We have destroyed after Nuh. And
your Lord is sufficient as being Aware and Seer of the sins
of His bondmen.
18. Whosoever desires this hastily world, We soon give him
in it whatever We please to whom We intend; then We assign to
him the hell, wherein he will enter despised, being kicked.
19. And whosoever intends the Hereafter and strives therefor
as it should be striven for and he is a believer, then their
striving succeeded.
20. We do extend Our help to all, these as well as those
out of the bestowing of your Lord. And there is no check on
the bestowing of your Lord.
21. See you! How We have preferred one to the other? And
without doubt, the Hereafter is greatest in degrees and greatest
in preferment.
22. 'O listener! Set up not another god with Allah lest
you will remain sitting down despised and helpless.
23. And your Lord Commanded that worship not any else excepts
Him and does good to parents. If either or both of them reach
old age before you, utter not even a faint cry to them and chide
them not and speak to them the word of respect.
24. And spread for them the arm of humility with tender
heart and say, 'O my Lord; have mercy on these both as they
both brought me up in my childhood.'
25. Your Lord knows well what is in your hearts, if you
be righteous, then no doubt. He is Forgiving to those who repent.
26. And give kinsmen their right and to the needy and the
traveler and spend not extravagantly.
27. No doubt, the extravagants are the brothers of the Devils
(Satan). And the devil is very ungrateful to his Lord.
28. If you turn your face from them in seeking the mercy
of your Lord for which you have hope, then speak to them a gentle
word.
29. And keep not your hand tied with your neck, nor open
it completely lest you sit down, blamed, tired.
30. No doubt, your Lord extends the provision for whom He
pleases and He straitens. No doubt, He knows well, sees His
bondmen.
31. And kill not your children for fear of poverty; We shall
provide them and you too. No doubt, their murder is a great
error.
32. And approach not adultery, undoubtedly that is immodesty
and a very vile path.
33. And kill not any soul. Which Allah has forbidden without
right. And whoso is killed without right, then undoubtedly We
have given authority to his heirs, but he should not exceed
the limit in killing. Necessarily he is to be helped.
34. And approach not the property of the orphan, but by
a way, which is best. Until he reaches his maturity and fulfils
the promise, undoubtedly the promise is to be questioned of.
35. And measure full when you measure. And weigh with an
even balance. This is better and its end is good.
36. And go not after that thing of which you know not. No
doubt, the ear and the eye and the heart all are to be questioned
of.
37. And walk not in the earth boastfully, undoubtedly, you
shall never cleave the earth, and shall never reach to the mountains
in the height.
38. The evil thing of all these is not liked by your Lord.
39. This is of those revelations, which your Lord has sent
to you of wisdom. And O listener; set not another god with Allah
lest you be thrown in the hell taunted, being kicked.
40. Has your Lord picked you for sons and made for Himself
daughters from the angels? No doubt, you speak boastfully.
41. And no doubt, We explained in this Quran variedly that
they might understand. And nothing is increased in them by it
but hatted.
42. Say you, 'If there had been other gods with Him as they
say, then they would have sought out any way towards the Owner
of the Throne.
43. Holy and Exalted is He, He is High above of what they
say.
44. The seven heavens and earth and whoever is in it speak
of His Glory. And there is nothing, which might not speak of
His Glory praising Him; yes you understand not their glorification.
No doubt, He is Forbearing, Forgiving.
45. And O beloved! When you recited Quran, We placed between
you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a hidden veil.
46. And We have put coverings over their hearts lest they
should understand it and in their ears a heaviness. And when
you remember in Quran your Lord alone, they run away fuming
their back hatefully.
47. We know well for what they hear, when they put their
ears towards you and when they counsel together when the unjust
say, 'you follow not but such a man who has been enchanted.'
48. See, how they have profounded similitudes for you, then
they have gone astray that they cannot get a way.
49. And say, what! When we shall become bones and broken
particles, shall we be raised really as new creation?
50. Say you, be stones or iron.
51. Or any other creation which may be bigger in your thinking,
then now they will say, 'Who will create us again. Say you,
'He Who created' you for the first time, now then they will
say shaking their heads, jesting towards you, when it is,' Say
you, 'perhaps it may be near.'
52. The day when He will call you, then you will come praising
Him and will think that you tarried not but little.
53. And say to My bondmen that they should speak that which
is best. No doubt, the devil (Satan) provokes strife among them.
Verily the devil is an open enemy to man.
54. Your Lord knows you well, He will have mercy upon you
if He please, or He will torment you if He please. And We have
not sent you as guardian over them.
55. And your Lord knows well those that are in the heavens
and in the earth. And undoubtedly' We preferred one over the
other in prophets and gave to Daud a Scripture (Zaboor).
56. Say you, 'call them whom you think besides Allah. then
they have no authority to remove affliction from you nor to
avert it.
57. Those chosen bondmen whom these infidels worship, they
themselves seek access towards their Lord that who is nearer
to Him in them, they hope for His mercy and fear His torment.
No doubt. The torment of your Lord is a thing to be feared.
58. And there is no town but that We shall destroy it before
the Day of Judgement or will torment it severely. This is written
down in the Book.
59. And We abstained from sending such signs because the
former people belied them. And We gave to Thamud a she camel
as an eye-opener. Then they wronged her, And We send not such
signs but to frighten.
60. And when We said to you, 'all are under the control
of your Lord.' And We made 'not the vision which We had showed
you but as a test for the people and also the tree upon which
there is curse in Quran. And We frighten them; then nothing
increases them but a great contumacy.
61. And when We commanded angels to prostrate before Adam,
then they prostrated except the Iblis. He said, 'shall I prostrate
before him whom you have made of clay.?
62. He said, 'see You, this whom You have honored above
me, if You will grant me time till the Day of Judgement then
I shall assuredly crush his children but a few.
63. He said, 'get away, therefore whoso of them will follow
you, then the recompense of all is Hell, a full punishment.
64. And stagger whosoever of them you can with your voice
and mobilize against them your horsemen and your footmen and
share with them in their wealth and their children and promise
them. And the devil (Satan) promises them not but with delusion.
65. No doubt those who are My bondmen, you have no control
over them. And your Lord suffices as guardian.
66. Your Lord is He who speeds for you the ship in the sea,
so that you may seek His grace. No doubt He is Merciful to you.
67. And when any trouble approaches you in the sea, then
all whom they worship are lost except He. Then when He delivers
you towards land, then you turn away your faces. And the man
is very ungrateful.
68. Have you then become fearless of that He may cause to
sink the shore of the land with you or send you stone storm;
then you will find no supporter for yourself.
69. Or have you become fearless of that He may carry you
back in the sea for the second time, then send you a ship breaking
storm-blast then He may cause you to drown because of your infidelity,
then you will not find anyone who may pursue against Us?
70. And no doubt, We honored the children of Adam and got
them ride in the land and sea and provided them with clean things
and preferred them over many of Our creations.
71. The day when We shall call every people. With their
leaders, then whosoever is given his record in his right hand,
they shall read their records and their rights" shall not
be suppressed a single thread.
72. And whosoever be blind in this world, he is blind in
the Hereafter, and even more astray from the way.
73. And indeed it was near that they would have seduced
you from Our revelation sent to you, that you might relate something
other than that towards Us, and if it would have been so then
they would have certainly taken you as their fast friend.
74. And if We had not kept you firm, then it was near that,
you would have inclined towards them a little.
75. And if it would have been so, then We would have let
you taste the double life and double death, then you would not
have found any helper against Us.
76. And undoubtedly, it was near that they might startle
you from this land so that they might oust, you therefrom and
if it had been so, then they would not have stayed after you
but a little.
77. The tradition of those whom We sent before you as messenger
and you would not find Our law changing.
78. Establish prayer from declining of the sun till the
darkening of the night and the Quran of the dawn. No doubt,
angles are present in the Quran of the dawn.
79. And offer Tahajjud (a prayer preferably in the later
part of the night after waking up from sleep) in some portion
of the night, this is specially for you in addition. It is near
that your Lord may make you stand at a place where all should
praise you.
80. And submit like this, 'O my Lord, make me enter with
a just entering and make me go forth with a just going and grant
me from Yourself a helping control.
81. And say, 'The truth has come, and falsehood vanished.
Undoubtedly the falsehood was certain to vanish.
82. And We send down in Quran that which is a healing and
a mercy to the believers; and it adds loss only to the unjust.
83. And when We bestow favour on man, he turns away his
face and moves far away towards himself, and when evil touches
him then he becomes disappointed.
84. Say, 'All act in their own Manner. Then your Lord Knows
well who is best guided.
85. And they ask you about the spirit. Say, 'The spirit
is a thing by the command of my Lord and you did not receive
knowledge but a little.
86. And if We pleased, We cold take away that We have revealed
to you, then you would have found none to plead for you before
Us.
87. But mercy from your Lord. Undoubtedly His grace you
to you is greater.
88. Say you, 'if the men and Jinn all agreed together to
King the like thereof, though in them one may be helper of other.
89. And undoubtedly, We have in this Quran described every
kind of saying in various ways, then most of the men accepted
nothing but being ungrateful.
90. And they said, 'we shall never believe you unless you
cause a spring to gush forth for us from the earth.'
91. Or you have a garden of date palms and vines, then you
cause springs to gush forth.
92. Or you may cause the heaven to fall upon us in pieces
as you have asserted, or bring Allah and the angels as surety.
93. Or you have a house of gold or you ascend up into heaven
and we shall never believe even after your ascending up until
you send down to us, a book that we may read. Say you, 'Glory
be to my Lord? Who am I but a man sent by Allah.'
94. And what -prevented men from believing when the guidance
came to them, but this that they said, 'Has Allah sent down
a man as Messenger?
95. Say you, 'If there would have been angels in the earth
walking about in peace' then We would have certainly sent down
an angel as Messenger to them.
96. Say you, 'sufficient is Allah for a witness between
me and you, undoubtedly He knows and sees His bondmen.
97. And he whom Allah guides is the only on the right way,
and he whom He leads astray then for them you will not find
any supporter beside Him. And We shall raise them on the Day
of Resurrection on their faces. Blind, dumb and deaf. Their
abode is Hell. Whenever it will come to be extinguished, We
shall make it to blow in flames vigorously.
98. This is their punishment because they rejected Our signs
and said, 'shall when we become bones and broken particles,
then shall we really be raised up as a new creation?'
99. And whether they see not that Allah Who made heavens
and earth can make the like of them, and He has appointed for
them a term in which there is no doubt. But the unjust accept
not except being ungrateful.
100. Say you, 'if you would have been owners of the treasures
of the mercy of my Lord, you would surely hold them back for
fear of speeding. For man was ever grudging.
101. And undoubtedly We gave nine clear signs to Musa, then
ask the children of Israel; when he came to them, then Firawn
said to him, 'O Musa, in my opinion you have been hypnotized'
(be-witched).
102. He said' 'certainly you know well that none sent these
down except the Lord of the heavens and earth as opener of the
eyes of heart, and in my opinion, O Firawn 'You are necessarily
to be ruined'.
103. Then he desired to oust them from the land then We
drowned him and all his associates.
104. And We said to the children of Israel after him, 'dwell
in this land, then when the promise of the Hereafter will come,
We shall bring you all rolled together.
105. And We sent down Quran with truth and it has come down
for truth and We sent you not but as the bearer of glad tidings
and as warner.
106. And We sent down Quran in pieces so that you may read
it to mankind at intervals and We sent it down gradually bit
by bit.
107. Say you, 'believe in it or believe not. Certainly,
those who got knowledge before it was sent down do fall down
prostate on their faces when it is recited to them.
108. And say, Glory be to our Lord, undoubtedly the promise
of our Lord was to be fulfilled.
109. And they fall down on their faces weeping, and this
Quran increases their hearts leaning. [^] (SAJDA) 4.
110. Say, you 'call upon Him saying Allah or saying Rahman
(Most Affectionate) whichever you call upon, all are His good
names. And neither offers your prayer with loud voice nor with
too low voice and seeks a way in between.
111. And say, 'All praise to Allah Who has not taken Him
a son and no one is Partner in His kingdom and none is supporter
of Him because of weakness and proclaim His Greatness Magnifying.
