Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed
upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as
Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to
Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."
PICKTHAL: And We have commended unto man kindness toward
parents. His mother beareth him with reluctance, and bringeth him forth with
reluctance, and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months,
till, when he attaineth full strength and reacheth forty years, he saith: My
Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favour wherewith Thou hast
favoured me and my parents, and that I may do right acceptable unto Thee. And be
gracious unto me in the matter of my seed. Lo! I have turned unto Thee
repentant, and lo! I am of those who surrender (unto Thee).
SHAKIR: And We have enjoined on man doing of good to his
parents; with trouble did his mother bear him and with trouble did she bring him
forth; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him was thirty months; until
when he attains his maturity and reaches forty years, he says: My Lord! grant me
that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my
parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect
of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those who submit.

promise of Allah is true." But he says, "This is nothing but tales of
the ancients!"
PICKTHAL: And whoso saith unto his parents: Fie upon you both!
Do ye threaten me that I shall be brought forth (again) when generations before
me have passed away? And they twain cry unto Allah for help (and say): Woe unto
thee! Believe! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. But he saith: This is naught
save fables of the men of old:
SHAKIR: And he who says to his parents: Fie on you! do you
threaten me that I shall be brought forth when generations have already passed
away before me? And they both call for Allah's aid: Woe to you! believe, surely
the promise of Allah is true. But he says: This is nothing but stories of the
ancients.

earth without just cause, and that ye (ever) transgressed."
PICKTHAL: And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed
to the Fire (it will be said): Ye squandered your good things in the life of the
world and sought comfort therein. Now this day ye are rewarded with the doom of
ignominy because ye were disdainful in the land without a right, and because ye
used to transgress.
SHAKIR: And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be
brought before the fire: You did away with your good things in your life of the
world and you enjoyed them for a while, so today you shall be rewarded with the
punishment of abasement because you were unjustly proud in the land and because
you transgressed.
046.021
YUSUFALI: Mention (Hud) one of 'Ad's (own) brethren: Behold, he

before him and after him: "Worship ye none other than Allah: Truly I fear
for you the Penalty of a Mighty Day."
PICKTHAL: And make mention (O Muhammad) of the brother of A'ad
when he warned his folk among the wind-curved sandhills - and verily warners
came and went before and after him - saying: Serve none but Allah. Lo! I fear
for you the doom of a tremendous Day.
SHAKIR: And mention the brother of Ad; when he warned his
people in the sandy plains,-- and indeed warners came before him and after him--
saying Serve none but Allah; surely I fear for you the punishment of a grievous
day.

is only with Allah: I proclaim to you the mission on which I have been sent: But

unto you that wherewith I have been sent, but I see you are a folk that know
not.

deliver to you the message with which I am sent, but I see you are a people who
are ignorant.
046.024
YUSUFALI: Then, when they saw the (Penalty in the shape of) a
cloud traversing the sky, coming to meet their valleys, they said, "This
cloud will give us rain!" "Nay, it is the (Calamity) ye were asking to
be hastened!- A wind wherein is a Grievous Penalty!
PICKTHAL: Then, when they beheld it as a dense cloud coming
toward their valleys, they said: Here is a cloud bringing us rain. Nay, but it
is that which ye did seek to hasten, a wind wherein is painful torment,
SHAKIR: So when they saw it as a cloud appearing in the sky
advancing towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloud which will give us
rain. Nay! it is what you sought to hasten on, a blast of wind in which is a
painful punishment,
046.025
YUSUFALI: "Everything will it destroy by the command of
its Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins
of) their houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin!
PICKTHAL: Destroying all things by commandment of its Lord. And
morning found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings. Thus do We
reward the guilty folk.

they became such that naught could be seen except their dwellings. Thus do We
reward the guilty people.

YUSUFALI: And We had firmly established them in a (prosperity
and) power which We have not given to you (ye Quraish!) and We had endowed them

them were their (faculties of) hearing, sight, and heart and intellect, when
they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah; and they were (completely) encircled
by that which they used to mock at!
PICKTHAL: And verily We had empowered them with that wherewith
We have not empowered you, and had assigned them ears and eyes and hearts; but
their ears and eyes and hearts availed them naught since they denied the
revelations of Allah; and what they used to mock befell them.
SHAKIR: And certainly We had established them in what We have
not established you in, and We had given-- them ears and eyes and hearts, but
neither their ears, nor their eyes, nor their hearts availed them aught, since
they denied the communications of Allah, and that which they mocked encompassed
them.
046.027
YUSUFALI: We destroyed aforetime populations round about you;
and We have shown the Signs in various ways, that they may turn (to Us).

you, and We repeat the communications that they might turn.
046.028
YUSUFALI: Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those
whom they worshipped as gods, besides Allah, as a means of access (to Allah)?
Nay, they left them in the lurch: but that was their falsehood and their
invention.
PICKTHAL: Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a
way of approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly.
And (all) that was their lie, and what they used to invent.
SHAKIR: Why did not then those help them whom they took for
gods besides Allah to draw (them) nigh (to Him)? Nay! they were lost to them;
and this was their lie and what they forged.
046.029
YUSUFALI: Behold, We turned towards thee a company of Jinns
(quietly) listening to the Qur'an: when they stood in the presence thereof, they

PICKTHAL: And when We inclined toward thee (Muhammad) certain
of the jinn, who wished to hear the Qur'an and, when they were in its presence,
said: Give ear! and, when it was finished, turned back to their people, warning.

(you) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver

in Him. He will forgive you some of your sins and guard you from a painful doom.

Him, He will forgive you of your faults and protect you from a painful
punishment.
046.032
YUSUFALI: "If any does not hearken to the one who invites
(us) to Allah, he cannot frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth, and no protectors
can he have besides Allah: such men (wander) in manifest error."
PICKTHAL: And whoso respondeth not to Allah's summoner he can
nowise escape in the earth, and he hath no protecting friends instead of Him.
Such are in error manifest.
SHAKIR: And whoever does not accept the-Divine caller, he shall
not escape in the earth and he shall not have guardians besides Him, these are
in manifest error.

heavens and the earth and was not tired by their creation, is able to give life
to the dead? Aye! He has surely power over all things.
046.034
YUSUFALI: And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed
before the Fire, (they will be asked,) "Is this not the Truth?" they
will say, "Yea, by our Lord!" (One will say:) "Then taste ye the
Penalty, for that ye were wont to deny (Truth)!"
PICKTHAL: And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed
to the Fire (they will be asked): Is not this real? They will say: Yea, by our
Lord. He will say: Then taste the doom for that ye disbelieved.
SHAKIR: And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be
brought before the fire: Is it not true? They shall say: Aye! by our Lord! He
will say: Then taste the punishment, because you disbelieved.
046.035
YUSUFALI: Therefore patiently persevere, as did (all)
messengers of inflexible purpose; and be in no haste about the (Unbelievers). On
the Day that they see the (Punishment) promised them, (it will be) as if they
had not tarried more than an hour in a single day. (Thine but) to proclaim the
Message: but shall any be destroyed except those who transgress?
PICKTHAL: Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of
heart among the messengers (of old) had patience, and seek not to hasten on (the
doom) for them. On the day when they see that which they are promised (it will
seem to them) as though they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A clear
message. Shall any be destroyed save evil-living folk?
SHAKIR: Therefore bear up patiently as did the messengers
endowed with constancy bear up with patience and do not seek to hasten for them
(their doom). On the day that they shall see what they are promised they shall
be as if they had not tarried save an hour of the day. A sufficient exposition!
Shall then any be destroyed save the transgressing people?
