SURAH
ASH-SHURA
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Ha-Mim.
2. Ain-Seen-Qaf.
3. Likewise reveals to you and to those before you, Allah
the Honourable. The Wise.
4. For Him is whatever is in the heaven and whatever is
in the earth. And He is the Exalted, the Grand.
5. It is well night that the heavens may rend from above
themselves and the angels sanctify their Lord with His praise
and beg forgiveness for the people of earth. Hearken, Allah,
He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
6. And those who have taken others as patrons beside Allah,
they are under the sight of Allah and you are not responsible
for them.
7. And likewise We revealed to you a Quran in Arabic so
that you may warn thereby the mother of all towns the Meccans
and those who live around it and you may warn them of a Day
of Assembly wherein there is no doubt. A party is in the paradise
and a party is in the Hell.
8. And had Allah willed He would have made them a people
of one faith, but Allah admits into His mercy whomsoever He
pleases. And as for the unjust, they have neither any friend
nor any helper.
9. Have they taken others as patrons beside Allah? But it
is Allah, He is the Patron and He will give life to the dead
and He can do every thing.
10. In whatever you differ, the decision thereof is with
Allah. This is Allah, my Lord, in Him I put my trust-and I turn
towards Him.
11. The Maker of the heavens and the earth. He has made
for you pairs of your own selves and male and female cattle,
whereby He spreads your race. Nothing is Like Him, and He is
the All-Hearing, All-seeing.
12. For Him are the keys of the Heavens and the earth. He
expands the provision for whomsoever He pleases and straitens
too. Undoubtedly. He knows everything.
13. He has directed you to the religion, which He enjoined
upon Nuh and that which We revealed to you and that which We
enjoined upon Ibrahim, Musa and Isa saying, "set the religion
right and cause not dissension therein. Very hard upon the polytheists
is that to which you call them. And Allah chooses for His nearness
whomsoever He pleases and guides to Himself him who turns towards
Him.
14. And they caused not dissension but after the knowledge
had come to them on account of mutual jealousy. And had not
a saying of your Lord gone forth for an appointed term, the
matter. Would have been surely decided among them long ago.
And undoubtedly, those who have inherited the Book after them
are in a deceitful doubt regarding it.
15. For this then, call you and remain steadfast as you
have been commanded and follow not their desires and say, "I
believe in whatever Book Allah has sent down and I have been
commanded that I may do justice between you. Allah is our Lord
and the Lord of you all. For us are our deeds and for you are
your deeds. There is no argument between us and you. Allah will
gather us together, and towards Him is the return.
16. And those who dispute concerning Allah after that the
muslims have already accepted His Call, their argument is purely
unstable in the sight of Allah and upon them is the wrath and
for them is the severe torment.
17. Allah is Who has sent down the Book with the truth and
the balance of justice. And what shall make you know that perhaps
the Hour may be near.
18. Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, and
those who believe therein are fearing of it and know that undoubtedly,
it is the truth, Beware! Verily, those who are in doubt concerning
the Hour are indeed in a far-off error.
19. Allah is Gentle towards His bondmen. He provides for
whomsoever He pleases, and He is the Powerful. Honourable.
20. Whosoever desires till age of the Hereafter. We give
an increase in his till age, and whosoever desires the till
age of the world, We shall give him somewhat thereof and in
the Hereafter he shall have no share.
21. Or for them there are some associates who have made
for them a religion that for which Allah has given no leave.
And had there not been the promise of a decision, it would have
been decided between them here. And undoubtedly, for the unjust
people is a painful torment.
22. You shall see the wrongdoers fearful on account of their
earnings and it is sure to be-fall them. And those who believed
and did good deeds are in the meadows of the Paradise. They
shall have with their Lord whatever they will desire. This is
the great grace.
23. This is that of which Allah gives the glad-tidings to
His bondmen who believed and did good deeds. Say you, "I
ask not of you any wage for it but affection in respect of kinship".
And whoever does a good-deed, We shall increase to him good
in respect thereof. Undoubtedly, Allah is Forgiving, Appreciating.
24. Or they say, "He has forged a lie against Allah."
But if Allah wills, He may set a seal of His Mercy and safely
upon your heart. And Allah wipes out the falsehood and establishes
the truth with His Words. Undoubtedly, He knows what is inside
the breasts.
25. And it is He Who accepts the repentance from His bondmen
and overlooks the faults and He knows what you do.
26. And He responds to those who have believed and have
done good deeds and gives them more reward out of His grace.
And for the infidels there is a severe torment.
27. And had Allah expanded the provisions of all His bondmen,
they would have necessarily then spread mischief in the earth,
but He sends down according to a measure as He pleases, undoubtedly,
He is Aware of His bond-men, Sees them.
28. And it is He Who sends down rain after they have despaired,
and spreads out His mercy. And He is the Protector, Praiseworthy.
29. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and
the earth and of whatever moving creatures He has spread forth
in them. And He has the power to gather them together when He
pleases.
30. And whatever affliction reached you is due to what Your
hands have earned; and He pardons much.
31. And you cannot go out of His control in the earth, and
you have against Allah, neither a friend nor a helper.
32. And of His signs are vessels running in the sea like
hills.
33. If He pleases, He may cause the wind to become still,
so that they stand still on its back. Undoubtedly, therein are
signs for every one most patient and grateful.
34. Or He may destroy them on account of the sins of the
people and may pardon much of their sins.
35. And those who dispute in Our Signs should know that
for them there is no place of escape.
36. And whatever you have been given is only a temporary
provision of this living world and that which is with Allah
is better and more lasting for those who have believed and trust
their Lord.
37. And those who avoid heinous sins and indecencies and,
when they are angry, they forgive.
38. And those who obeyed the command of their Lord and established
prayer and their affairs are decided by mutual consultation
and they spend something out of Our provision in Our way.
39. And those who, when insolence reaches them, take revenge.
40. And the recompense of evil is evil the like of it, but
whoso forgives and puts the things right his reward is with
Allah. Undoubtedly, He loves not the unjust.
41. And undoubtedly, whoso took revenge after being victim
of oppression; there is no way of blame against them.
42. The blame is only against them who oppress mankind and
rebel in the earth without right. For them is the painful torment.
43. But whoever indeed preserved and forgave, most certainly,
then these are the affairs of determination.
44. And whomsoever Allah leads astray, he has no friend
against Allah. And you will see the oppressors when they will
see the torment saying, Is there anyway to return'
45. And you will see them that they are presented before
Fire dejected on account of disgrace, they see with veiled eyes.
And the believers will say, 'undoubtedly, the losers are those
who have lost their souls and their families on the Day of Resurrection'.
Beware! No doubt, the unjust are in lasting torment.
46. And they have no friend to help them against Allah and
whomsoever Allah leads astray; there is no way for him.
47. Obey the commands of your Lord before the coming of
the Day that is not to be fumed back from Allah. You will have
no refuge that day, nor you can dare to deny.
48. But if they turn their faces, then We have not sent
you as a guardian over them. There is nothing on you but to
convey the (the Message) And when We give man the taste of any
mercy from Us, he becomes happy over it. But if any evil befalls
them because of what their hands have sent forth, then the man
is most ungrateful.
49. For Allah is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth,
He creates whatever He likes. He bestows daughters on whomsoever
He likes and He bestows sons on whomsoever He likes.
50. Or He mixes both, the sons and the daughters, and He
makes whomsoever He likes barren. Undoubtedly, He is knowing,
Authoritative.
51. And it is not fit for any man that Allah should speak
to him but through revelation or that the man may be at the
other side of the veil of grandeur. Or He may send any angel
that he may reveal by His command what He pleases undoubtedly
He is High, Wise
52. And likewise We have revealed to you an invigorative
thing by Our command. You did not know the Book before it nor
the details of the laws of religion, yes, We made it a light
whereby We guide such of Our bondmen as We please. And undoubtedly,
you most certainly guides to the straight path.
53. The path of Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the
heavens and whatever is in the earth. Do you listen? All affairs
return to Allah only.
