SURAH
AL-HADID
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Whatever is in the heavens and in the earth glorify Allah;
and it is He the Esteemed one the Wise.
2. For Him is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth He
gives life and causes to die, and He can do everything.
3. He is the First, He is the Last, He is the Manifest,
He is the Hidden and He knows everything.
4. It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six
days, then seated Himself upon the Throne befitting to His Dignity.
He knows what penetrates in the earth and what comes forth from
it, and what comes down from heaven and what ascends into it.
And He is with you wherever you may be. And Allah is seeing
your works.
5. For Him is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth.
And towards Allah is the return of all affairs.
6. He brings the night into the day and brings the day into
the night. And He knows the toughts of the hearts.
7. Believe in Allah and His Messenger and spend in the way
of Allah out of that to which He has made you heirs, And those
of you who believed and spent in the way of Allah, for them
is the great reward.
8. And what is to you that you believe not in Allah where
as the Messenger is calling you to believe in Allah, and undoubtedly,
He has already taken a covenant from you if indeed you believe.
9. It is He who sends down upon His bondman bright signs
so that He may bring you forth from the darkness towards the
light And verily. Allah is kind and Merciful to you.
10. And what is to you, that you spend not in the way of
Allah, whereas to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens
and the earth altogether. Those of you who spent and fought
before the victory of Mecca are not equal They are greater in
rank than those who spent and fought after victory. And to all
has Allah already promised the reward of the paradise. And Allah
is Aware of your deeds.
11. Who is he who may lend to Allah a good loan and He may
double it for him and there is an Honourable reward for him.
12. The day when you shall see the believing women that
their light run before them and on their right. It is being
said to them. 'To day the happiest tidings for you are those
Gardens beneath which the streams flow wherein you will abide.
This is the supreme triumph.'
13. The day when the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women
will say to muslims, 'look towards us. So that we may take something
from your light,' It will be said to them'. 'Go you back and
seek there a light. They will go back, henceforth a wall shall
be set-up between them, in which there is a door. The inside
of it has mercy and the outside has torment.
14. The hypocrites will call the muslims, saying, 'were
we not with you?' They will say, 'why not, you put your souls
in temptation and looked out for the evils of muslims and doubted
and your vain desires deceived you till the decree of Allah
came and the great Deceiver deceived you regarding the decree
of Allah.
15. Therefore this day no ransom shall be accepted from
you or from the manifest infidels. Your destination is the Fire.
It is your friend, and what an evil end it is!'
16. Has not the time arrived for the believers that their
hearts should lean for the remembrance of Allah and for the
truth, which has come down. and that they should not become
like those who were given the Book before, then the term was
prolonged for them, so their 'hearts were hardened? And many
of them are disobedients.
17. Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death.
Surely, We explained the signs to you that you may understand.
18. Surely, the alms giving men and alms giving women and
those who gave a goodly loan to Allah, it shall be doubled for
them and for them is an Honourable reward.
19. And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers, they
are the perfect truthfuls and witnesses against others before
their Lord. For them is their reward and their light, and those
who disbelieved and belied Our signs, they are the inmates of
Hell.
20. Know that the life of the world is not but a sport and
amusement and an adornment and a source of boasting among yourselves
and desiring multiplication in riches and children against one
another It is like the rain whose vegetation pleased the tillers,
then it dried up that you see it yellow then it was trampled
into pieces. And in the Hereafter, there is severe torment and
forgiveness from Allah and His pleasure. And the life of the
world is nothing but a deceitful wealth.
21. Go forward towards the forgiveness of your Lord and
towards a paradise of which the breadth is as the width of the
heavens and the earth prepared for those who believed in Allah
and His Messenger. This is the grace of Allah; He bestows it
upon whom so ever He pleases. And Allah is the possessor of
great grace
22. No calamity reaches either in the earth or in your own
persons, but it is in a Book, before We create it; Undoubtedly,
it is easy for Allah.
23. So that you may not give over what is lost to you, nor
rejoice over what is given to you and Allah loves not any exultant,
boastful.
24. Such as are niggardly and command men to be niggardly.
And whosoever turns away, then surely, Allah is the self-sufficient,
All Praised.
25. Verily We have sent Messengers with arguments and have
sent down with them the Book and the Balance of justice, so
that men might uphold justice And We have sent down iron, wherein
is great strength and uses for mankind. And in order the' Allah
may see him who help. Him and His Messengers with out seeing
surely. Allah is Powerful Dominant
26. And undoubtedly, We sent Nuh and Ibrahim and We placed
Prophethood and the Book in their offspring so some of them
were guided but most of them are disobedient.
27. Then We sent after then. Our other Messengers following
in their footsteps, and We sent following, Isa son of Maryam
and bestowed him the Injil. And We placed tenderness and mercy
in the hearts of his followers. And as for adopting monasticism
they invented it into the religion on their own accord, We prescribed
it not for them, yes this innovation they created for seeking
the pleasure of Allah, but they observed it not as it was to
be observed, so We gave the believers of them then reward, but
most of them are disobedient.
28. 'O believes! Fear Allah and believe in His Messenger
He will give you a two-fold portion of His mercy and will provide
for you a light wherein you will walk, and will grant you forgiveness.
And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
29. This is so in order that the non-believing people of
the Book may know that they have no control over the grace of
Allah and that the grace is entirely in the hands of Allah.
He gives it to whomsoever He pleases And Allah is the Possessor
of great grace.
