1/1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1/2 All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
1/3 The Beneficent, the Merciful.
1/4 Master of the Day of Judgment.
1/5 Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help.
1/6 Keep us on the right path.
1/7 The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors.Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down,nor of those who go astray.
2/1 Alif Lam Mim.
2/2 This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those whoguard (against evil).
2/3 Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer andspend out of what We have given them.
2/4 And who believe in that which has been revealed to youand that which was revealed before you and they are sure of thehereafter.
2/5 These are on a right course from their Lord and these it isthat shall be successful.
2/6 Surely those who disbelieve, it being alike to them whetheryou warn them, or do not warn them, will not believe.
2/7 Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon theirhearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is agreat punishment for them.
2/8 And there are some people who say: We believe in Allahand the last day; and they are not at all believers.
2/9 They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, andthey deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.
2/10 There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to theirdisease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they
2/11 And when it is said to them, Do not make mischief in theland, they say: We are but peace-makers.
2/12 Now surely they themselves are the mischief makers, but theydo not perceive.
2/13 And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believethey say: Shall we believe as the fools believe? Now surely theythemselves are the fools, but they do not know.
2/14 And when they meet those who believe, they say: We believe;and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say: Surely weare with you, we were only mocking.
2/15 Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and He leaves themalone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
2/16 These are they who buy error for the right direction, sotheir bargain shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers ofthe right direction.
2/17 Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a firebut when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away theirlight, and left them in utter darkness-- they do not see.
2/18 Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not turn back.
2/19 Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is utterdarkness and thunder and lightning; they put their fingers intotheir ears because of the thunder peal, for fear of death, andAllah encompasses the unbelievers.
2/20 The lightning almost takes away their sight; whenever itshines on them they walk in it, and when it becomes dark to themthey stand still; and if Allah had pleased He would certainlyhave taken away their hearing and their sight; surely Allah haspower over all things.
2/21 O men! serve your Lord Who created you and those before youso that you may guard (against evil).
2/22 Who made the earth a resting place for you and the heaven acanopy and (Who) sends down rain from the cloud then brings forthwith it subsistence for you of the fruits; therefore do not setup rivals to Allah while you know.
2/23 And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed toOur servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on yourwitnesses besides Allah if you are truthful.
2/24 But if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then beon your guard against the fire of which men and stones are thefuel; it is prepared for the unbelievers.
2/25 And convey good news to those who believe and do gooddeeds, that they shall have gardens in which rivers flow;whenever they shall be given a portion of the fruit thereof, theyshall say: This is what was given to us before; and they shall begiven the like of it, and they shall have pure mates in them,and in them, they shall abide.
2/26 Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (thatof) a gnat or any thing above that; then as for those whobelieve, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and asfor those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah meansby this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leadsaright by it! but He does not cause to err by it (any) except thetransgressors,
2/27 Who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation andcut asunder what Allah has ordered to be joined, and makemischief in the land; these it is that are the losers.
2/28 How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life?Again He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, thenyou shall be brought back to Him.
2/29 He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth, and Hedirected Himself to the heaven, so He made them complete sevenheavens, and He knows all things.
2/30 And when your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place inthe earth a khalif, they said: What! wilt Thou place in it suchas shall make mischief in it and shed blood, and we celebrate Thypraise and extol Thy holiness? He said: Surely I know what you donot know.
2/31 And He taught Adam all the names, then presented them to theangels; then He said: Tell me the names of those if you areright.
2/32 They said: Glory be to Thee! we have no knowledge but thatwhich Thou hast taught us; surely Thou art the Knowing, the Wise.
2/33 He said: O Adam! inform them of their names. Then when he hadinformed them of their names, He said: Did I not say to you thatI surely know what is ghaib in the heavens and the earth and(that) I know what you manifest and what you hide?
2/34 And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam theydid obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He refused and he wasproud, and he was one of the unbelievers.
2/35 And We said: O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in thegarden and eat from it a plenteous (food) wherever you wish anddo not approach this tree, for then you will be of the unjust.
2/36 But the Shaitan made them both fall from it, and caused themto depart from that (state) in which they were; and We said: Getforth, some of you being the enemies of others, and there is foryou in the earth an abode and a provision for a time.
2/37 Then Adam received (some) words from his Lord, so He turnedto him mercifully; surely He is Oft-returning (to mercy), theMerciful.
2/38 We said: Go forth from this (state) all; so surely therewill come to you a guidance from Me, then whoever follows Myguidance, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.
2/39 And (as to) those who disbelieve in and reject Mycommunications, they are the inmates of the fire, in it theyshall abide.
2/40 O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowedon you and be faithful to (your) covenant with Me, I will fulfill(My) covenant with you; and of Me, Me alone, should you beafraid.
2/41 And believe in what I have revealed, verifying that which iswith you, and be not the first to deny it, neither take a meanprice in exchange for My communications; and Me, Me alone shouldyou fear.
2/42 And do not mix up the truth with the falsehood, nor hide thetruth while you know (it).
2/43 And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and bow down withthose who bow down.
2/44 What! do you enjoin men to be good and neglect your own soulswhile you read the Book; have you then no sense?
2/45 And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and mostsurely it is a hard thing except for the humble ones,
2/46 Who know that they shall meet their Lord and that they shallreturn to Him.
2/47 O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowedon you and that I made you excel the nations.
2/48 And be on your guard against a day when one soul shall notavail another in the least, neither shall intercession on itsbehalf be accepted, nor shall any compensation be taken from it,nor shall they be helped.
2/49 And when We delivered you from Firon's people, who subjectedyou to severe torment, killing your sons and sparing your women,and in this there was a great trial from your Lord.
2/50 And when We parted the sea for you, so We saved you anddrowned the followers of Firon and you watched by.
2/51 And when We appointed a time of forty nights with Musa, thenyou took the calf (for a god) after him and you were unjust.
2/52 Then We pardoned you after that so that you might givethanks.
2/53 And when We gave Musa the Book and the distinction that youmight walk aright.
2/54 And when Musa said to his people: O my people! you havesurely been unjust to yourselves by taking the calf (for a god),therefore turn to your Creator (penitently), so kill your people,that is best for you with your Creator: so He turned to you(mercifully), for surely He is the Oft-returning (to mercy), theMerciful.
2/55 And when you said: O Musa! we will not believe in you untilwe see Allah manifestly, so the punishment overtook you while youlooked on.
2/56 Then We raised you up after your death that you may givethanks.
2/57 And We made the clouds to give shade over you and We sent toyou manna and quails: Eat of the good things that We have givenyou; and they did not do Us any harm, but they made their ownsouls suffer the loss.
2/58 And when We said: Enter this city, then eat from it aplenteous (food) wherever you wish, and enter the gate makingobeisance, and say, forgiveness. We will forgive you your wrongsand give more to those who do good (to others).
2/59 But those who were unjust changed it for a saying other thanthat which had been spoken to them, so We sent upon those whowere unjust a pestilence from heaven, because they transgressed.
2/60 And when Musa prayed for drink for his people, We said:Strike the rock with your staff So there gushed from it twelvesprings; each tribe knew its drinking place: Eat and drink of theprovisions of Allah and do not act corruptly in the land, makingmischief.
2/61 And when you said: O Musa! we cannot bear with one food,therefore pray Lord on our behalf to bring forth for us out ofwhat the earth grows, of its herbs and its cucumbers and itsgarlic and its lentils and its onions. He said: Will you exchangethat which is better for that which is worse? Enter a city, so youwill have what you ask for. And abasement and humiliation werebrought down upon them, and they became deserving of Allah'swrath; this was so because they disbelieved in thecommunications of Allah and killed the prophets unjustly; thiswas so because they disobeyed and exceeded the limits.
2/62 Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the fChristians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and theLast day and does good, they shall have their reward from theirLord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
2/63 And when We took a promise from you and lifted the mountainover you: Take hold of the law (Tavrat) We have given you withfirmness and bear in mind what is in it, so that you may guard(against evil).
2/64 Then you turned back after that; so were it not for the graceof Allah and His mercy on you, you would certainly have beenamong the losers.
2/65 And certainly you have known those among you who exceeded thelimits of the Sabbath, so We said to them: Be (as) apes, despisedand hated.
2/66 So We made them an example to those who witnessed it andthose who came after it, and an admonition to those who guard(against evil).
2/67 And when Musa said to his people: Surely Allah commands youthat you should sacrifice a cow; they said: Do you ridicule us?He said: I seek the protection of Allah from being one of theignorant.
2/68 They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain tous what she is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow neitheradvanced in age nor too young, of middle age between that (andthis); do therefore what you are commanded.
2/69 They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain tous what her color is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a yellowcow; her color is intensely yellow, giving delight to thebeholders.
2/70 They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain tous what she is, for surely to us the cows are all alike, and ifAllah please we shall surely be guided aright.
2/71 Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow not made submissivethat she should plough the land, nor does she irrigate the tilth;sound, without a blemish in her. They said: Now you have broughtthe truth; so they sacrificed her, though they had not the mindto do (it).
2/72 And when you killed a man, then you disagreed withrespect to that, and Allah was to bring forth that which you weregoing to hide.
2/73 So We said: Strike the (dead body) with part of the(Sacrificed cow), thus Allah brings the dead to life, and Heshows you His signs so that you may understand.
2/74 Then your hearts hardened after that, so that they were likerocks, rather worse in hardness; and surely there are some rocksfrom which streams burst forth, and surely there are some of themwhich split asunder so water issues out of them, and surely thereare some of them which fall down for fear of Allah, and Allah isnot at all heedless of what you do.
2/75 Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a partyfrom among them indeed used to hear the Word of Allah, thenaltered it after they had understood it, and they know (this).
2/76 And when they meet those who believe they say: We believe,and when they are alone one with another they say: Do you talk tothem of what Allah has disclosed to you that they may contendwith you by this before your Lord? Do you not then understand?
2/77 Do they not know that Allah knows what they keep secret andwhat they make known?
2/78 And there are among them illiterates who know not the Bookbut only lies, and they do but conjecture.
2/79 Woe, then, to those who write the book with their hands andthen say: This is from Allah, so that they may take for it asmall price; therefore woe to them for what their hands havewritten and woe to them for what they earn.
2/80 And they say: Fire shall not touch us but for a few days.Say: Have you received a promise from Allah, then Allah will notfail to perform His promise, or do you speak against Allah whatyou do not know?
2/81 Yea, whoever earns evil and his sins beset him on every side,these are the inmates of the fire; in it they shall abide.
2/82 And (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, these arethe dwellers of the garden; in it they shall abide.
2/83 And when We made a covenant with the children of Israel: Youshall not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your)parents, and to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy,and you shall speak to men good words and keep up prayer and paythe poor-rate. Then you turned back except a few of you and (nowtoo) you turn aside.
2/84 And when We made a covenant with you: You shall notshed your blood and you shall not turn your people out of yourcities; then you gave a promise while you witnessed.
2/85 Yet you it is who slay your people and turn a party fromamong you out of their homes, backing each other up againstthem unlawfully and exceeding the limits; and if they should cometo you, as captives you would ransom them-- while their veryturning out was unlawful for you. Do you then believe in a partof the Book and disbelieve in the other? What then is the re wardof such among you as do this but disgrace in the life of thisworld, and on the day of resurrection they shall be sent back tothe most grievous chastisement, and Allah is not at all heedlessof what you do.
2/86 These are they who buy the life of this world for thehereafter, so their chastisement shall not be lightened nor shallthey be helped.
2/87 And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent messengersafter him one after another; and We gave Isa, the son of Marium,clear arguments and strengthened him with the holy spirit, What!whenever then a messenger came to you with thatwhich your souls did not desire, you were insolent so you calledsome liars and some you slew.
2/88 And they say: Our hearts are covered. Nay, Allah has cursedthem on account of their unbelief; so little it is that theybelieve.
2/89 And when there came to them a Book from Allah verifying thatwhich they have, and aforetime they used to pray for victoryagainst those who disbelieve, but when there came to them(Prophet) that which they did not recognize, they disbelieved inhim; so Allah's curse is on the unbelievers.
2/90 Evil is that for which they have sold their souls-- that theyshould deny what Allah has revealed, out of envy that Allahshould send down of His grace on whomsoever of His servants Hepleases; so they have made themselves deserving of wrath uponwrath, and there is a disgraceful punishment for the unbelievers.
2/91 And when it is said to them, Believe in what Allah hasrevealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed to us;and they deny what is besides that, while it is the truthverifying that which they have. Say: Why then did you killAllah's Prophets before if you were indeed believers?
2/92 And most certainly Musa came to you with clear arguments,then you took the calf (for a god) in his absence and you wereunjust.
2/93 And when We made a covenant with you and raised the mountainover you: Take hold of what We have given you with firmness andbe obedient. They said: We hear and disobey. And they were madeto imbibe (the love of) the calf into their hearts on account oftheir unbelief Say: Evil is that which your belief bids you ifyou are believers.
2/94 Say: If the future abode with Allah is specially for you tothe exclusion of the people, then invoke death if you aretruthful.
2/95 And they will never invoke it on account of what their handshave sent before, and Allah knows the unjust.
2/96 And you will most certainly find them the greediest of menfor life (greedier) than even those who are polytheists; everyone of them loves that he should be granted a life of a thousandyears, and his being granted a long life will in no way removehim further off from the chastisement, and Allah sees what they do.
2/97 Say: Whoever is the enemy of Jibreel-- for surely he revealedit to your heart by Allah's command, verifying that which isbefore it and guidance and good news for the believers.
2/98 Whoever is the enemy of Allah and His angels and His messengersand Jibreel and Meekaeel, so surely Allah is the enemy of theunbelievers.
2/99 And certainly We have revealed to you clear communicationsand none disbelieve in them except the transgressors.
2/100 What! whenever they make a covenant, a party of them cast itaside? Nay, most of them do not believe.
2/101 And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah verifyingthat which they have, a party of those who were given the Bookthrew the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they knewnothing.
2/102 And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery inthe reign of Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, butthe Shaitans disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and that wassent down to the two angels at Babel, Harut and Marut, yet thesetwo taught no man until they had said, "Surely we are only atrial, therefore do not be a disbeliever." Even then men learnedfrom these two, magic by which they might cause a separationbetween a man and his wife; and they cannot hurt with it any oneexcept with Allah's permission, and they learned what harmedthem and did not profit them, and certainly they know that he whobought it should have no share of good in the hereafter and evilwas the price for which they sold their souls, had they butknown this.
2/103 And if they had believed and guarded themselves (againstevil), reward from Allah would certainly have been better; hadthey but known (this).
2/104 O you who believe! do not say Raina and say Unzurna andlisten, and for the unbelievers there is a painful chastisement.
2/105 Those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book donot like, nor do the polytheists, that the good should be sentdown to you from your Lord, and Allah chooses especially whom Hepleases for His mercy, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
2/106 Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to beforgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you notknow that Allah has power over all things?
2/107 Do you not know that Allah's is the kingdom of the heavensand the earth, and that besides Allah you have no guardian orhelper?
2/108 Rather you wish to put questions to your Messenger, as Musawas questioned before; and whoever adopts unbelief instead offaith, he indeed has lost the right direction of the way.
2/109 Many of the followers of the Book wish that they could turnyou back into unbelievers after your faith, out of envy fromthemselves, (even) after the truth has become manifest to them;but pardon and forgive, so that Allah should bring about Hiscommand; surely Allah has power over all things.
2/110 And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and whatever goodyou send before for yourselves, you shall find it with Allah;surely Allah sees what you do.
2/111 And they say: None shall enter the garden (or paradise)except he who is a Jew or a Christian. These are their vaindesires. Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.
2/112 Yes! whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and he isthe doer of good (to others) he has his reward from his Lord, andthere is no fear for him nor shall he grieve.
2/113 And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything(good) and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything(good) while they recite the (same) Book. Even thus say those whohave no knowledge, like to what they say; so Allah shalljudge between them on the day of resurrection in what theydiffer.
2/114 And who is more unjust than he who prevents (men)from the masjids of Allah, that His name should be rememberedin them, and strives to ruin them? (As for) these, it was notproper for them that they should have entered them except infear; they shall meet with disgrace in this world, and they shallhave great chastisement in the hereafter.
2/115 And Allah's is the East and the West, therefore, whitheryou turn, thither is Allah's purpose; surely Allah isAmplegiving,Knowing.
2/116 And they say: Allah has taken to himself a son. Glory beto Him; rather, whatever is in the heavens and the earth is His;all are obedient to Him.
2/117 Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth, andwhen He decrees an affair, He only says to it, Be, so there itis.
2/118 And those who have no knowledge say: Why does notAllah speak to us or a sign come to us? Even thus said thosebefore them, the like of what they say; their hearts are all alike.Indeed We have made the communications clear for a peoplewho are sure.
2/119 Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer ofgood news and as a warner, and you shall not be called upon toanswer for the companions of the flaming fire.
2/120 And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor theChristians until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah'sguidance, that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow theirdesires after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall haveno guardian from Allah, nor any helper.
2/121 Those to whom We have given the Book read it as itought to be read. These believe in it; and whoever disbelieves init, these it is that are the losers.
2/122 O children of Israel, call to mind My favor which Ibestowed on you and that I made you excel the nations.
2/123 And be on your guard against a day when no soul shallavail another in the least neither shall any compensation beaccepted from it, nor shall intercession profit it, nor shallthey behelped.
2/124 And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with certain words, hefulfilled them. He said: Surely I will make you an Imam of men.Ibrahim said: And of my offspring? My covenant does notinclude the unjust, said He.
2/125 And when We made the House a pilgrimage for men and a (placeof) security, and: Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer onthe standing-place of Ibrahim. And We enjoined Ibrahim and Ismailsaying: Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those whoabide (in it) for devotion and those who bow down (and) those whoprostrate themselves.
2/126 And when Ibrahim said: My Lord, make it a secure town andprovide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allahand the last day. He said: And whoever disbelieves, I will granthim enjoyment for a short while, then I will drive him to thechastisement of the fire; and it is an evil destination.
2/127 And when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of theHouse: Our Lord! accept from us; surely Thou art the Hearing, theKnowing:
2/128 Our Lord! and make us both submissive to Thee and (raise)from our offspring a nation submitting to Thee, and show us ourways of devotion and turn to us (mercifully), surely Thou art theOft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.
2/129 Our Lord! and raise up in them a Messenger from among themwho shall recite to them Thy communications and teach them theBook and the wisdom, and purify them; surely Thou art the Mighty,the Wise.
2/130 And who forsakes the religion of Ibrahim but he who makeshimself a fool, and most certainly We chose him in this world,and in the hereafter he is most surely among the righteous.
2/131 When his Lord said to him, Be a Muslim, he said: I submitmyself to the Lord of the worlds.
2/132 And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did)Yaqoub. O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith,therefore die not unless you are Muslims.
2/133 Nay! were you witnesses when death visited Yaqoub, when hesaid to his sons: What will you serve after me? They said: Wewill serve your god and the god of your fathers, Ibrahim andIsmail and Ishaq, one Allah only, and to Him do we submit.
2/134 This is a people that have passed away; they shall have whatthey earned and you shall have what you earn, and you shall notbe called upon to answer for what they did.
2/135 And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will be on theright course. Say: Nay! (we follow) the religion of Ibrahim, theHanif, and he was not one of the polytheists.
2/136 Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had beenrevealed to us, and (in) that which was revealed to Ibrahim andIsmail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in) that whichwas given to Musa and Isa, and (in) that which was given to theprophets from their Lord, we do not make any distinction betweenany of them, and to Him do we submit.
2/137 If then they believe as you believe in Him, they are indeedon the right course, and if they turn back, then they are only ingreat opposition, so Allah will suffice you against them, and Heis the Hearing, the Knowing.
2/138 (Receive) the baptism of Allah, and who is better than Allahin baptising? and Him do we serve.
2/139 Say: Do you dispute with us about Allah, and He is our Lordand your Lord, and we shall have our deeds and you shall haveyour deeds, and we are sincere to Him.
2/140 Nay! do you say that Ibrahim and Ismail and Yaqoub and thetribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Are you better knowing orAllah? And who is more unjust than he who conceals a testimonythat he has from Allah? And Allah is not at all heedless of whatyou do.
2/141 This is a people that have passed away; they shall have whatthey earned and you shall have what you earn, and youshall not be called upon to answer for what they did.
2/142 The fools among the people will say: What has turned themfrom their qiblah which they had? Say: The East and the Westbelong only to Allah; He guides whom He likes to the right path.
2/143 And thus We have made you a medium (just) nation that youmay be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) theMessenger may be a bearer of witness to you; and We did not makethat which you would have to be the qiblah but that We mightdistinguish him who follows the Messenger from him who turns backupon his heels, and this was surely hard except for those whomAllah has guided aright; and Allah was not going to make yourfaith to be fruitless; most surely Allah is Affectionate,Merciful to the people.
2/144 Indeed We see the turning of your face to heaven, so Weshall surely turn you to a qiblah which you shall like; turn thenyour face towards the Sacred Mosque, and wherever you are, turnyour face towards it, and those who have been given the Book mostsurely know that it is the truth from their Lord; and Allah isnot at all heedless of what they do.
2/145 And even if you bring to those who have been given theBook every sign they would not follow your qiblah, nor can you bea follower of their qiblah, neither are they the followers ofeach other's qiblah, and if you follow their desires after theknowledge that has come to you, then you shall most surely beamong the unjust.
2/146 Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as theyrecognize their sons, and a party of them most surely conceal thetruth while they know (it).
2/147 The truth is from your Lord, therefore you should not be ofthe doubters.
2/148 And every one has a direction to which he should turn,therefore hasten to (do) good works; wherever you are, Allah willbring you all together; surely Allah has power over all things.
2/149 And from whatsoever place you come forth, turn yourface towards the Sacred Mosque; and surely it is the very truthfrom your Lord, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
2/150 And from whatsoever place you come forth, turn yourface towards the Sacred Mosque; and wherever you are turnyour faces towards it, so that people shall have no accusationagainst you, except such of them as are unjust; so do not fearthem, and fear Me, that I may complete My favor on you andthat you may walk on the right course.
2/151 Even as We have sent among you a Messenger from among you whorecites to you Our communications and purifies you and teachesyou the Book and the wisdom and teaches you that which you didnot know.
2/152 Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, and be thankfulto Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me.
2/153 O you who believe! seek assistance through patience andprayer; surely Allah is with the patient.
2/154 And do not speak of those who are slain in Allah's way asdead; nay, (they are) alive, but you do not perceive.
2/155 And We will most certainly try you with somewhat of fear andhunger and loss of property and lives and fruits; and give goodnews to the patient,
2/156 Who, when a misfortune befalls them, say: Surely we areAllah's and to Him we shall surely return.
2/157 Those are they on whom are blessings and mercy from theirLord, and those are the followers of the right course.
2/158 Surely the Safa and the Marwa are among the signs appointedby Allah; so whoever makes a pilgrimage to the House or pays avisit (to it), there is no blame on him if he goes round themboth; and whoever does good spontaneously, then surely Allah isGrateful, Knowing.
2/159 Surely those who conceal the clear proofs and the guidancethat We revealed after We made it clear in the Book for men,these it is whom Allah shall curse, and those who curse shallcurse them (too).
2/160 Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (thetruth), these it is to whom I turn (mercifully); and I am theOft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.
2/161 Surely those who disbelieve and die while they aredisbelievers, these it is on whom is the curse of Allah and theangels and men all;
2/162 Abiding in it; their chastisement shall not be lightened norshall they be given respite.
2/163 And your Allah is one Allah! there is no god but He; He is theBeneficent, the Merciful.
2/164 Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earthand the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships thatrun in the sea with that which profits men, and the water thatAllah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to theearth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, andthe changing of the winds and the clouds made subservientbetween the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a peoplewho understand.
2/165 And there are some among men who take for themselvesobjects of worship besides Allah, whom they love as they loveAllah, and those who believe are stronger in love for Allah andO, that those who are unjust had seen, when they see thechastisement, that the power is wholly Allah's and that Allah issevere in requiting (evil).
2/166 When those who were followed shall renounce those whofollowed (them), and they see the chastisement and their ties arecut asunder.
2/167 And those who followed shall say: Had there been for us areturn, then we would renounce them as they have renounced us.Thus will Allah show them their deeds to be intense regret tothem, and they shall not come forth from the fire.
2/168 O men! eat the lawful and good things out of what is in theearth, and do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan; surely heis your open enemy.
2/169 He only enjoins you evil and indecency, and that you mayspeak against Allah what you do not know.
2/170 And when it is said to them, Follow what Allah hasrevealed, they say: Nay! we follow what we found our fathersupon. What! and though their fathers had no sense at all, nor didthey follow the right way.
2/171 And the parable of those who disbelieve is as the parable ofone who calls out to that which hears no more than a call and acry; deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they do not understand.
2/172 O you who believe! eat of the good things that We haveprovided you with, and give thanks to Allah if Him it is that youserve.
2/173 He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood,and flesh of swine, and that over which any other (name) than(that of) Allah has been invoked; but whoever is driven tonecessity, not desiring, nor exceeding the limit, no sin shall beupon him; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
2/174 Surely those who conceal any part of the Book thatAllah has revealed and take for it a small price, they eatnothing but fire into their bellies, and Allah will not speak tothem on the day of resurrection, nor will He purify them, andthey shall have a painful chastisement.
2/175 These are they who buy error for the right direction andchastisement for forgiveness; how bold they are to encounterfire.
2/176 This is because Allah has revealed the Book with the truth;and surely those who go against the Book are in a greatopposition.
2/177 It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards theEast and the West, but righteousness is this that one shouldbelieve in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book andthe prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to thenear of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer andthe beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keepup prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of theirpromise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress andaffliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true(to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).
2/178 O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in thematter of the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for theslave, and the female for the female, but if any remission ismade to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for thebloodwit) should be made according to usage, and payment shouldbe made to him in a good manner; this is an alleviationfrom your Lord and a mercy; so whoever exceeds the limit afterthis he shall have a painful chastisement.
2/179 And there is life for you in (the law of) retaliation, O menof understanding, that you may guard yourselves.
2/180 Bequest is prescribed for you when death approachesone of you, if he leaves behind wealth for parents and nearrelatives, according to usage, a duty (incumbent) upon thosewho guard (against evil).
2/181 Whoever then alters it after he has heard it, the sin of itthen is only upon those who alter it; surely Allah is Hearing,Knowing.
2/182 But he who fears an inclination to a wrong course or anact of disobedience on the part of the testator, and effects anagreement between the parties, there is no blame on him. SurelyAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
2/183 O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it wasprescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (againstevil).
2/184 For a certain number of days; but whoever among you issick or on a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of otherdays; and those who are not able to do it may effect a redemptionby feeding a poor man; so whoever does good spontaneouslyit is better for him; and that you fast is better for you if youknow.
2/185 The month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran wasrevealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance andthe distinction; therefore whoever of you is present in the month,he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a journey, then(he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; Allah desires easefor you, and He does not desire for you difficulty, and (Hedesires) that you should complete the number and that youshould exalt the greatness of Allah for His having guided youand that you may give thanks.
2/186 And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I amvery near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls onMe, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they maywalk in the right way.
2/187 It is made lawful to you to go into your wives on thenight of the fast; they are an apparel for you and you are anapparel for them; Allah knew that you acted unfaithfully toyourselves, so He has turned to you (mercifully) and removed fromyou (this burden); so now be in contact with them and seekwhat Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until thewhiteness of the day becomes distinct from the blackness of thenight at dawn, then complete the fast till night, and have notcontact with them while you keep to the mosques; these are thelimits of Allah, so do not go near them. Thus does Allah makeclear His communications for men that they may guard (againstevil).
2/188 And do not swallow up your property among yourselves byfalse means, neither seek to gain access thereby to the judges,so that you may swallow up a part of the property of menwrongfully while you know.
2/189 They ask you concerning the new moon. Say: They are timesappointed for (the benefit of) men, and (for) the pilgrimage; andit is not righteousness that you should enter the houses at theirbacks, but righteousness is this that one should guard (againstevil); and go into the houses by their doors and be careful (ofyour duty) to Allah, that you may be successful.
2/190 And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you,and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love thosewho exceed the limits.
2/191 And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them outfrom whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer thanslaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosqueuntil they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slaythem; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
2/192 But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.
2/193 And fight with them until there is no persecution, andreligion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then thereshould be no hostility except against the oppressors.
2/194 The Sacred month for the sacred month and all sacred thingsare (under the law of) retaliation; whoever then actsaggressively against you, inflict injury on him according to theinjury he has inflicted on you and be careful (of your duty) toAllah and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).
2/195 And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves toperdition with your own hands, and do good (to others); surelyAllah loves the doers of good.
2/196 And accomplish the pilgrimage and the visit for Allah, butif, you are prevented, (send) whatever offering is easy toobtain, and do not shave your heads until the offering reachesits destination; but whoever among you is sick or has an ailmentof the head, he (should effect) a compensation by fasting or almsor sacrificing, then when you are secure, whoever profits bycombining the visit with the pilgrimage (should take) whatoffering is easy to obtain; but he who cannot find (any offering)should fast for three days during the pilgrimage and for sevendays when you return; these (make) ten (days) complete; this isfor him whose family is not present in the Sacred Mosque, and becareful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that Allah is severe inrequiting (evil).
2/197 The pilgrimage is (performed in) the well-known months; sowhoever determines the performance of the pilgrimage therein,there shall be no intercourse nor fornication nor quarrellingamongst one another; and whatever good you do, Allah knows it;and make provision, for surely the provision is the guarding ofoneself, and be careful (of your duty) to Me, O men ofunderstanding.
2/198 There is no blame on you in seeking bounty from your Lord,so when you hasten on from "Arafat", then remember Allah near theHoly Monument, and remember Him as He has guided you, thoughbefore that you were certainly of the erringones.
2/199 Then hasten on from the Place from which the people hastenon and ask the forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.
2/200 So when you have performed your devotions, then laud Allahas you lauded your fathers, rather a greater lauding. Butthere are some people who say, Our Lord! give us in the world,and they shall have no resting place.
2/201 And there are some among them who say: Our Lord! grant usgood in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us fromthe chastisement of the fire.
2/202 They shall have (their) portion of what they have earned,and Allah is swift in reckoning.
2/203 And laud Allah during the numbered days; then whoeverhastens off in two days, there is no blame on him, and whoeverremains behind, there is no blame on him, (this is) for him whoguards (against evil), and be careful (of your duty) to Allah,andknow that you shall be gathered together to Him.
2/204 And among men is he whose speech about the life of thisworld causes you to wonder, and he calls on Allah to witness asto what is in his heart, yet he is the most violent ofadversaries.
2/205 And when he turn,s back, he runs along in the land that hemay cause mischief in it and destroy the tilth and the stock, andAllah does not love mischief-making.
2/206 And when it is said to him, guard against (the punish mentof) Allah; pride carries him off to sin, therefore hell issufficient for him; and certainly it is an evil resting place.
2/207 And among men is he who sells himself to seek the pleasureof Allah; and Allah is Affectionate to the servants.
2/208 O you who believe! enter into submission one and all and donot follow the footsteps of Shaitan; surely he is your openenemy.
2/209 But if you slip after clear arguments have come to you, thenknow that Allah is Mighty, Wise.
2/210 They do not wait aught but that Allah should come to them inthe shadows of the clouds along with the angels, and the matterhas (already) been decided; and (all) matters are returned toAllah.
2/211 Ask the Israelites how many a clear sign have We given them;and whoever changes the favor of Allah after it has come to him,then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
2/212 The life of this world is made to seem fair to those whodisbelieve, and they mock those who believe, and those who guard(against evil) shall be above them on the day of resurrection;and Allah gives means of subsistence to whom he pleases withoutmeasure.
2/213 (All) people are a single nation; so Allah raised prophetsas bearers of good news and as warners, and He revealed with themthe Book with truth, that it might judge between people in thatin which they differed; and none but the very people who weregiven it differed about it after clear arguments had come tothem, revolting among themselves; so Allah has guided by His willthose who believe to the truth about which they differed andAllah guides whom He pleases to the right path.
2/214 Or do you think that you would enter the garden while yetthe state of those who have passed away before you has not comeupon you; distress and affliction befell them and they wereshaken violently, so that the Messenger and those who believed withhim said: When will the help of Allah come? Now surely the helpof Allah is nigh!
2/215 They ask you as to what they should spend. Say: Whateverwealth you spend, it is for the parents and the near of kin andthe orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, and whatever good youdo, Allah surely knows it.
2/216 Fighting is enjoined on you, and h is an object of disliketo you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is goodfor you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil foryou, and Allah knows, while you do not know.
2/217 They ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting init. Say: Fighting in it is a grave matter, and hindering (men)from Allah's way and denying Him, and (hindering men from) theSacred Mosque and turning its people out of it, are still graverwith Allah, and persecution is graver than slaughter; and theywill not cease fighting with you until they turn you back fromyour religion, if they can; and whoever of you turns back fromhis religion, then he dies while an unbeliever-- these it is whoseworks shall go for nothing in this world and the hereafter, andthey are the inmates of the fire; therein they shall abide.
2/218 Surely those who believed and those who fled (their home)and strove hard in the way of Allah these hope for the mercy ofAllah and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
2/219 They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: Inboth of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men,and their sin is greater than their profit. And they ask you asto what they should spend. Say: What you can spare. Thus doesAllah make clear to you the communications, that you may ponder
2/220 On this world and the hereafter. And they ask you concerningthe orphans Say: To set right for them (their affairs) is good,and if you become co-partners with them, they are your brethren;and Allah knows the mischief-maker and the pacemaker, and ifAllah had pleased, He would certainly have caused you to fallinto a difficulty; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
2/221 And do not marry the idolatresses until they believe, andcertainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman,even though she should please you; and do not give (believingwomen) in marriage to idolaters until they believe, and certainlya believing servant is better than an idolater, even though heshould please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah invites tothe garden and to forgiveness by His will, and makes clear Hiscommunications to men, that they may be mindful.
2/222 And they ask you about menstruation. Say: It is adiscomfort; therefore keep aloof from the women during themenstrual discharge and do not go near them until they havebecome clean; then when they have cleansed themselves, go in tothem as Allah has commanded you; surely Allah loves those whoturn much (to Him), and He loves those who purify themselves.
2/223 Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth whenyou like, and do good beforehand for yourselves, and be careful(of your duty) to Allah, and know that you will meet Him, andgive good news to the believers.
2/224 And make not Allah because of your swearing (by Him) anobstacle to your doing good and guarding (against evil) andmaking peace between men, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
2/225 Allah does not call you to account for what is vain in youroaths, but He will call you to account for what your hearts haveearned, and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.
2/226 Those who swear that they will not go in to their wivesshould wait four months; so if they go back, then Allah is surelyForgiving, Merciful.
2/227 And if they have resolved on a divorce, then Allah is surelyHearing, Knowing.
2/228 And the divorced women should keep themselves in waiting forthree courses; and it is not lawful for them that they shouldconceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe inAllah and the last day; and their husbands have a better right totake them back in the meanwhile if they wish for reconciliation;and they have rights similar to those against them in a justmanner, and the men are a degree above them, and Allah is Mighty,Wise.
2/229 Divorce may be (pronounced) twice, then keep (them) in goodfellowship or let (them) go with kindness; and it is not lawfulfor you to take any part of what you have given them, unless bothfear that they cannot keep within the limits of Allah; then ifyou fear that they cannot keep within the limits of Allah, thereis no blame on them for what she gives up to become free thereby.These are the limits of Allah, so do not exceed them and whoeverexceeds the limits of Allah these it is that are the unjust.
2/230 So if he divorces her she shall not be lawful to himafterwards until she marries another husband; then if he divorcesher there is no blame on them both if they return to each other(by marriage), if they think that they can keep within the limitsof Allah, and these are the limits of Allah which He makes clearfor a people who know.
2/231 And when you divorce women and they reach their prescribedtime, then either retain them in good fellowship or set them freewith liberality, and do not retain them for injury, so that youexceed the limits, and whoever does this, he indeed is unjust tohis own soul; and do not take Allah's communicationsfor a mockery, and remember the favor of Allah upon you, andthat which He has revealed to you of the Book and the Wisdom,admonishing you thereby; and be careful (of your duty to) Allah,and know that Allah is the Knower of all things.
2/232 And when you have divorced women and they have ended-- theirterm (of waiting), then do not prevent them from marrying theirhusbands when they agree among themselves in a lawful manner;with this is admonished he among you who believes in Allah andthe last day, this is more profitable and purer for you; andAllah knows while you do not know.
2/233 And the mothers should suckle their children for two wholeyears for him who desires to make complete the time of suckling;and their maintenance and their clothing must be-- borne by thefather according to usage; no soul shall have imposed upon it aduty but to the extent of its capacity; neither shall a mother bemade to suffer harm on account of her child, nor a father onaccount of his child, and a similar duty (devolves) on the(father's) heir, but if both desire weaning by mutual consent andcounsel, there is no blame on them, and if you wish to engage awet-nurse for your children, there is no blame on youso long as you pay what you promised for according to usage;and be careful of (your duty to) Allah and know that Allah seeswhat you do.
2/234 And (as for) those of you who die and leave wives behind,they should keep themselves in waiting for four months and tendays; then when they have fully attained their term, there is noblame on you for what they do for themselves in a lawful manner;and Allah is aware of what you do.
2/235 And there is no blame on you respecting that which you speakindirectly in the asking of (such) women in marriage or keep (theproposal) concealed within your minds; Allah knows that you winmention them, but do not give them a promise in secret unless youspeak in a lawful manner, and do not confirm the marriage tieuntil the writing is fulfilled, and know that Allah knows what isin your minds, therefore beware of Him, and know that Allah isForgiving, Forbearing.
2/236 There is no blame on you if you divorce women when you havenot touched them or appointed for them a portion, and makeprovision for them, the wealthy according to his means and thestraitened in circumstances according to his means, a provisionaccording to usage; (this is) a duty on the doers of good (toothers).
2/237 And if you divorce them before you have touched themand you have appointed for them a portion, then (pay to them)ha!f of what you have appointed, unless they relinquish or heshould relinquish in whose hand is the marriage tie; and it isnearer to righteousness that you should relinquish; and do notneglect the giving of free gifts between you; surely Allah seeswhat you do.
2/238 Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer andstand up truly obedient to Allah.
2/239 But if you are in danger, then (say your prayers) on foot oron horseback; and when you are secure, then remember Allah, as.He has taught you what you did not know.
2/240 And those of you who die and leave wives behind, (make) abequest in favor of their wives of maintenance for a year withoutturning (them) out, then if they themselves go away, there is noblame on you for what they do of lawful deeds by themselves, andAllah is Mighty, Wise.
2/241 And for the divorced women (too) provision (must be made)according to usage; (this is) a duty on those who guard (againstevil).
2/242 Allah thus makes clear to you His communications that youmay understand.
2/243 Have you not considered those who went forth from theirhomes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allahsaid to them, Die; again He gave them life; most surely Allah isGracious to people, but most people are not grateful.
2/244 And fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah isHearing, Knowing.
2/245 Who is it that will offer of Allah a goodly gift, so He willmultiply it to him manifold, and Allah straitens and amplifies,and you shall be returned to Him.
2/246 Have you not considered the chiefs of the children of Israelafter Musa, when they said to a prophet of theirs: Raise up forus a king, (that) we may fight in the way of Allah. He said: Mayit not be that you would not fight if fighting is ordained foryou? They said: And what reason have we that we should notfight in the way of Allah, and we have indeed been compelled toabandon our homes and our children. But when fighting wasordained for them, they turned back, except a few of them, andAllah knows the unjust.
2/247 And their prophet said to them: Surely Allah has raisedTalut to be a king over you. They said: How can he hold kingshipover us while we have a greater right to kingship thanhe, and he has not been granted an abundance of wealth? Hesaid: Surely Allah has chosen him in preference to you, and Hehas increased him abundantly in knowledge and physique, andAllah grants His kingdom to whom He pleases, and Allah isAmplegiving, Knowing.
2/248 And the prophet said to them: Surely the sign of Hiskingdom is, that there shall come to you the chest in which thereis tranquillity from your Lord and residue of the relics of whatthe children of Musa and the children of Haroun have left, theangels bearing it; most surely there is a sign in this for those whobelieve.
2/249 So when Talut departed with the forces, he said: SurelyAllah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he isnot of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me,except he who takes with his hand as much of it as fills the hand;but with the exception of a few of them they drank from it. Sowhen he had crossed it, he and those who believed with him, theysaid: We have today no power against Jalut and his forces.Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: Howoften has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah'spermission, and Allah is with the patient.
2/250 And when they went out against Jalut and his forces theysaid: Our Lord, pour down upon us patience, and make oursteps firm and assist us against the unbelieving people.
2/251 So they put them to flight by Allah's permission. AndDawood slew Jalut, and Allah gave him kingdom and wisdom,and taught him of what He pleased. And were it not for Allah'srepelling some men with others, the earth would certainly be in astate of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures.
2/252 These are the communications of Allah: We recite themto you with truth; and most surely you are (one) of themessengers.
2/253 We have made some of these messengers to excel the othersamong them are they to whom Allah spoke, and some of themHe exalted by (many degrees of) rank; and We gave clearmiracles to Isa son of Marium, and strengthened him with theholy spirit. And if Allah had pleased, those after them would nothave fought one with another after clear arguments had come tothem, but they disagreed; so there were some of them whobelieved and others who denied; and if Allah had pleased theywould not have fought one with another, but Allah brings aboutwhat He intends.
2/254 O you who believe! spend out of what We have given youbefore the day comes in which there is no bargaining, neither anyfriendship nor intercession, and the unbelievers-- they are theunjust.
2/255 Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Everliving,the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does notovertake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whateveris in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him butby His permission? He knows what is before them and what isbehind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of Hisknowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over theheavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tiresHim not, and He is the Most High, the Great.
2/256 There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way hasbecome clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoeverdisbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed haslaid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, andAllah is Hearing, Knowing.
2/257 Allah is the guardian of those who believe. He brings themout of the darkness into the light; and (as to) those whodisbelieve, their guardians are Shaitans who take them out of thelight into the darkness; they are the inmates of the fire, in itthey shall abide.
2/258 Have you not considered him (Namrud) who disputed withIbrahim about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom?When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He who gives life and causes todie, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: Sosurely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make itrise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; andAllah does not guide aright the unjust people.
2/259 Or the like of him (Uzair) who passed by a town, and it hadfallen down upon its roofs; he said: When will Allah give it lifeafter its death? So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years,then raised him to life. He said: How long have you tarried? Hesaid: I have tarried a day, or a part of a day. Said He: Nay! youhave tarried a hundred years; then look at your food anddrink-- years have not passed over it; and look at your ass; andthat We may make you a sign to men, and look at the bones, how Weset them together, then clothed them with flesh; so when itbecame clear to him, he said: I know that Allah has power overall things.
2/260 And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! show me how Thougivest life to the dead, He said: What! and do you not believe?He said: Yes, but that my heart may be at ease. He said: Thentake four of the birds, then train them to follow you, then placeon every mountain a part of them, then call them, they will cometo you flying; and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.
2/261 The parable of those who spend their property in the way ofAllah is as the parable of a grain growing seven ears (with) ahundred grains in every ear; and Allah multiplies for whom Hepleases; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing
2/262 (As for) those who spend their property in the way of Allah,then do not follow up what they have spent with reproachor injury, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and theyshall have no fear nor shall they grieve.
2/263 Kind speech and forgiveness is better than charity followedby injury; and Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.
2/264 O you who believe! do not make your charity worthlessby reproach and injury, like him who spends his property to beseen of men and does not believe in Allah and the last day; so hisparable is as the parable of a smooth rock with earth upon it,then a heavy rain falls upon it, so it leaves it bare; they shall notbe able to gain anything of what they have earned; and Allahdoes not guide the unbelieving people.
2/265 And the parable of those who spend their property toseek the pleasure of Allah and for the certainty 'of their souls is asthe parable of a garden on an elevated ground, upon whichheavy rain falls so it brings forth its fruit twofold but if heavyrain does not fall upon it, then light rain (is sufficient); and Allahsees what you do.
2/266 Does one of you like that he should have a garden ofpalms and vines with streams flowing beneath it; he has in it allkinds of fruits; and old age has overtaken him and he has weakoffspring, when, (lo!) a whirlwind with fire in it smites it so itbecomes blasted; thus Allah makes the communications clear toyou, that you may reflect.
2/267 O you who believe! spend (benevolently) of the goodthings that you earn and or what We have brought forth for youout of the earth, and do not aim at what is bad that you mayspend (in alms) of it, while you would not take it yourselvesunless you have its price lowered, and know that Allah is Self-sufficient,Praiseworthy.
2/268 Shaitan threatens you with poverty and enjoins you to beniggardly, and Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself andabundance; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
2/269 He grants wisdom to whom He pleases, and whoever is grantedwisdom, he indeed is given a great good and none but men ofunderstanding mind.
2/270 And whatever alms you give or (whatever) vow you vow, surelyAllah knows it; and the unjust shall have no helpers.
2/271 If you give alms openly, it is well, and if you hide it andgive it to the poor, it is better for you; and this will do awaywith some of your evil deeds; and Allah is aware of what you do.
2/272 To make them walk in the right way is not incumbent on you,but Allah guides aright whom He pleases; and whatever good thingyou spend, it is to your own good; and you do not spend but toseek Allah's pleasure; and whatever good things you spend shallbe paid back to you in full, and you shall not be wronged.
2/273 (Alms are) for the poor who are confined in the way ofAllah-- they cannot go about in the land; the ignorant man thinksthem to be rich on account of (their) abstaining (from begging);you can recognise them by their mark; they do not beg from menimportunately; and whatever good thing you spend, surely Allahknows it.
2/274 (As for) those who spend their property by night and by day,secretly and openly, they shall have their reward from their Lordand they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
2/275 Those who swallow down usury cannot arise except as one whomShaitan has prostrated by (his) touch does rise. That is becausethey say, trading is only like usury; and Allah has allowedtrading and forbidden usury. To whomsoever then the admonitionhas come from his Lord, then he desists, he shall have what hasalready passed, and his affair is in the hands of Allah; andwhoever returns (to it)-- these arc the inmates of the fire; theyshall abide in it.
2/276 Allah does not bless usury, and He causes charitable deedsto prosper, and Allah does not love any ungrateful sinner.
2/277 Surely they who believe and do good deeds and keep up prayerand pay the poor-rate they shall have their reward from theirLord, and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
2/278 O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah andrelinquish what remains (due) from usury, if you are believers.
2/279 But if you do (it) not, then be apprised of war from Allahand His Messenger; and if you repent, then you shall have yourcapital; neither shall you make (the debtor) suffer loss, nor shallyou be made to suffer loss.
2/280 And if (the debtor) is in straitness, then let there bepostponement until (he is in) ease; and that you remit (it) as almsis better for you, if you knew.
2/281 And guard yourselves against a day in which you shall bereturned to Allah; then every soul shall be paid back in fullwhat it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
2/282 O you who believe! when you deal with each other incontracting a debt for a fixed time, then write it down; and let ascribe write it down between you with fairness; and the scribeshould not refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so he shouldwrite; and let him who owes the debt dictate, and he should becareful of (his duty to) Allah, his Lord, and not diminish anythingfrom it; but if he who owes the debt is unsound in understanding,or weak, or (if) he is not able to dictate himself, let hisguardian dictate with fairness; and call in to witness from amongyour men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then oneman and two women from among those whom you choose to bewitnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the twomay remind the other; and the witnesses should not refuse whenthey are summoned; and be not averse to writing it (whether it is)small or large, with the time of its falling due; this is moreequitable in the sight of Allah and assures greater accuracy intestimony, and the nearest (way) that you may not entertaindoubts (afterwards), except when it is ready merchandise whichyou give and take among yourselves from hand to hand, thenthere is no blame on you in not writing it down; and havewitnesses when you barter with one another, and let no harm bedone to the scribe or to the witness; and if you do (it) then surelyit will be a transgression in you, and be careful of (your duty) toAllah, Allah teaches you, and Allah knows all things.
2/283 And if you are upon a journey and you do not find ascribe, then (there may be) a security taken into possession; butif one of you trusts another, then he who is trusted should deliverhis trust, and let him be careful (of his duty to) Allah, his Lord;and do not conceal testimony, and whoever conceals it, his heartis surely sinful; and Allah knows what you do.
2/284 Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth isAllah's; and whether you manifest what is in your minds or hideit, Allah will call you to account according to it; then He willforgive whom He pleases and chastise whom He pleases, and Allahhas power over all things.
2/285 The messenger believes in what has been revealed to him fromhis Lord, and (so do) the believers; they all believe in Allahand His angels and His books and His messengers; We make nodifference between any of His messengers; and they say: We hear andobey, our Lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is theeventual course.
2/286 Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extentof its ability; for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned andupon it (the evil of) what it has wrought: Our Lord! do notpunish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay onus a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us, Our Lord do notimpose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; andpardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou artour Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.
3/1 Alif Lam Mim.
3/2 Allah, (there is) no god but He, the Everliving, the Self-subsistingby Whom all things subsist
3/3 He has revealed to you the Book with truth, verifying thatwhich is before it, and He revealed the Tavrat and the Injeelaforetime, a guidance for the people, and He sent the Furqan.
3/4 Surely they who disbelieve in the communications of Allahthey shall have a severe chastisement; and Allah is Mighty, theLord of retribution.
3/5 Allah-- surely nothing is hidden from Him in the earth or in theheaven.
3/6 He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He likes; there isno god but He, the Mighty, the Wise
3/7 He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its versesare decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others areallegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there isperversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical,seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own)interpretation. but none knowsits interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rootedin knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; andnone do mind except those having understanding.
3/8 Our Lord! make not our hearts to deviate after Thou hastguided us aright, and grant us from Thee mercy; surely Thou artthe most liberal Giver.
3/9 Our Lord! surely Thou art the Gatherer of men on a dayabout which there is no doubt; surely Allah will not fail (His)promise.
3/10 (As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealthnor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah,andthese it is who are the fuel of the fire.
3/11 Like the striving of the people of Firon and those beforethem; they rejected Our communications, so Allah destroyedthem on account of their faults; and Allah is severe in requiting(evil).
3/12 Say to those who disbelieve: You shall be vanquished, anddriven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place.
3/13 Indeed there was a sign for you in the two hosts (which)met together in encounter; one party fighting in the way of Allahand the other unbelieving, whom they saw twice as many asthemselves with the sight of the eye and Allah strengthens withHis aid whom He pleases; most surely there is a lesson in this forthose who have sight.
3/14 The love of desires, of women and sons and hoardedtreasures of gold and silver and well bred horses and cattle andtilth, is made to seem fair to men; this is the provision of the lifeof this world; and Allah is He with Whom is the good goal (oflife).
3/15 Say:Shall}I tell you what is better than these? For thosewho guard (against evil) are gardens with their Lord, beneathwhich rivers flow, to abide in them, and pure mates and Allah'spleasure; and Allah sees the servants.
3/16 Those who say: Our Lord! surely we believe, therefore forgiveus our faults and save us from the chastisement of thefire.
3/17 The patient, and the truthful, and the obedient, and thosewho spend (benevolently) and those who ask forgiveness in themorning times.
3/18 Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and (so do)the angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining Hiscreation with justice; there is no god but He, the Mighty, theWise.
3/19 Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam, and those towhom the Book had been given did not show opposition but afterknowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves; andwhoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surelyAllah is quick in reckoning.
3/20 But if they dispute with you, say: I have submitted myselfentirely to Allah and (so) every one who follows me; and say tothose who have been given the Book and the unlearned people: Doyou submit yourselves? So if they submit then indeed they followthe right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only thedelivery of the message and Allah sees the servants.
3/21 Surely (as for) those who disbelieve in the communications ofAllah and slay the prophets unjustly and slay those among men whoenjoin justice, announce to them a painful chastisement.
3/22 Those are they whose works shall become null in this world aswell as the hereafter, and they shall have no helpers.
3/23 Have you not considered those (Jews) who are given a portionof the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah that it mightdecide between them, then a part of them turn back and theywithdraw.
3/24 This is because they say: The fire shall not touch us but fora few days; and what they have forged deceives them in the matterof their religion.
3/25 Then how will it be when We shall gather them together on aday about which there is no doubt, and every soul shall be fullypaid what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt withunjustly?
3/26 Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdomto whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom fromwhomsoever Thou pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasestand abasest whom Thou pleasest in Thine hand is the good; surety,Thou hast power over all things.
3/27 Thou makest the night to pass into the day and Thou makestthe day to pass into the night, and Thou bringest forth theliving from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from theliving, and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest withoutmeasure.
3/28 Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends ratherthan believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of(the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselvesagainst them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautiousof (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventualcoming.
3/29 Say: Whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it,Allah knows it, and He knows whatever is in the heavens andwhatever is in the earth, and Allah has power over all things.
3/30 On the day that every soul shall find present what it hasdone of good and what it has done of evil, it shall wish thatbetween it and that (evil) there were a long duration of time;and Allah makes you to be cautious of (retribution from) Himself;and Allah is Compassionate to the servants.
3/31 Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love youand forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, MercifuL
3/32 Say: Obey Allah and the Messenger; but if they turn back, thensurely Allah does not love the unbelievers.
3/33 Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants ofIbrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations.
3/34 Offspring one of the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
3/35 When a woman of Imran said: My Lord! surely I vow to Theewhat is in my womb, to be devoted (to Thy service); accepttherefore from me, surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing.
3/36 So when she brought forth, she said: My Lord! Surely I havebrought it forth a female-- and Allah knew best what she broughtforth-- and the male is not like the female, and I have named itMarium, and I commend her and her offspring into Thy protectionfrom the accursed Shaitan.
3/37 So her Lord accepted her with a good acceptance and made hergrow up a good growing, and gave her into the charge of Zakariya;whenever Zakariya entered the sanctuary to (see) her, he foundwith her food. He said: O Marium! whence comes this to you? Shesaid: It is from Allah. Surely Allah gives to whom He pleaseswithout measure.
3/38 There did Zakariya pray to his Lord; he said: My Lord! grantme from Thee good offspring; surely Thou art the Hearer ofprayer.
3/39 Then the angels called to him as he stood praying in thesanctuary: That Allah gives you the good news of Yahya verifyinga Word from Allah, and honorable and chaste and a prophet fromamong the good ones.
3/40 He said: My Lord! when shall there be a son (born) to me, andold age has already come upon me, and my wife is barren? He said:even thus does Allah what He pleases.
3/41 He said: My Lord! appoint a sign for me. Said He: Your signis that you should not speak to men for three days except bysigns; and remember your Lord much and glorify Him in the eveningand the morning.
3/42 And when the angels said: O Marium! surely Allah haschosen you and purified you and chosen you above the womenof of the world.
3/43 O Marium! keep to obedience to your Lord and humble yourself,and bow down with those who bow.
3/44 This is of the announcements relating to the unseen which Wereveal to you; and you were not with them when they casttheir pens (to decide) which of them should have Marium in hischarge, and you were not with them when they contended one withanother.
3/45 When the angels said: O Marium, surely Allah gives yougood news with a Word from Him (of one) whose name is the '.Messiah, Isa son of Marium, worthy of regard in this world andthe hereafter and of those who are made near (to Allah).
3/46 And he shall speak to the people when in the cradle and whenof old age, and (he shall be) one of the good ones.
3/47 She said: My Lord! when shall there be a son (born) toI me, and man has not touched me? He said: Even so, Allah createswhat He pleases; when He has decreed a matter, He only says toit, Be, and it is.
3/48 And He will teach him the Book and the wisdom and theTavrat and the Injeel.
3/49 And (make him) a messenger to the children of Israel: That Ihave come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I determine foryou out of dust like the form of a bird, then I breathe into itand it becomes a bird with Allah's permission and I heal theblind and the leprous, and bring the dead to life with Allah'spermission and I inform you of what you should eat and what youshould store in your houses; most surely there is a sign in thisfor you, if you are believers.
3/50 And a verifier of that which is before me of the Taurat andthat I may allow you part of that which has been forbidden t you,and I have come to you with a sign from your Lord therefore becareful of (your duty to) Allah and obey me.
3/51 Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him;this is the right path.
3/52 But when Isa perceived unbelief on their part, he said Whowill be my helpers in Allah's way? The disciples said: Weare helpers (in the way) of Allah: We believe in Allah and bearwitness that we are submitting ones.
3/53 Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed and wefollow the messenger, so write us down with those who bear witness.
3/54 And they planned and Allah (also) planned, and Allah isthe best of planners.
3/55 And when Allah said: O Isa, I am going to terminate theperiod of your stay (on earth) and cause you to ascend unto Meand purify you of those who disbelieve and make those whofollow you above those who disbelieve to the day of resurrection;then to Me shall be your return, so l will decide between youconcerning that in which you differed.
3/56 Then as to those who disbelieve, I will chastise them withsevere chastisement in this world and the hereafter, and theyshall have no helpers.
3/57 And as to those who believe and do good deeds, He willpay them fully their rewards; and Allah does not love the unjust.
3/58 This We recite to you of the communications and the wisereminder.
3/59 Surely the likeness of Isa is with Allah as the likeness ofAdam; He created him from dust, then said to him, Be, and hewas.
3/60 (This is) the truth from your Lord, so be not of thedisputers.
3/61 But whoever disputes with you in this matter after whathas come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call oursons and your sons and our women and your women and ournear people and your near people, then let us be earnest inprayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars.
3/62 Most surely this is the true explanation, and there is nogod but Allah; and most surely Allah-- He is the Mighty, theWise.
3/63 But if they turn back, then surely Allah knows the mischief-makers.
3/64 Say: O followers of the Book! come to an equitable propositionbetween us and you that we shall not serve any but Allahand (that) we shall not associate aught with Him, and (that)some of us shall not take others for lords besides Allah; but ifthey turn back, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims.
3/65 O followers of the Book! why do you dispute aboutIbrahim, when the Taurat and the Injeel were not revealed tillafter him; do you not then understand?
3/66 Behold! you are they who disputed about that of whichyou had knowledge; why then do you dispute about that ofwhich you have no knowledge? And Allah knows while you donot know.
3/67 Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright(man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists.
3/68 Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim are those whofollowed him and this Prophet and those who believe and Allah isthe guardian of the believers.
3/69 A party of the followers of the Book desire that they shouldlead you astray, and they lead not astray but themselves, andthey do not perceive.
3/70 O followers of the Book! Why do you disbelieve in thecommunications of Allah while you witness (them)?
3/71 O followers of the Book! Why do you confound the truth withthe falsehood and hide the truth while you know?
3/72 And a party of the followers of the Book say: Avow belief inthat which has been revealed to those who believe, in the firstpart of the day, and disbelieve at the end of it, perhaps they goback on their religion.
3/73 And do not believe but in him who follows your religion. Say:Surely the (true) guidance is the guidance of Allah-- that one maybe given (by Him) the like of what you were given; or they wouldcontend with you by an argument before your Lord. Say: Surelygrace is in the hand of Allah, He gives it to whom Hepleases; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
3/74 He specially chooses for His mercy whom He pleases; and Allahis the Lord of mighty grace.
3/75 And among the followers of the Book there are some such thatif you entrust one (of them) with a heap of wealth, he shall payit back to you; and among them there are some such that if youentrust one (of them) with a dinar he shall not pay it back toyou except so long as you remain firm in demanding it; this isbecause they say: There is not upon us in the matter of theunlearned people any way (to reproach); and they tell a lieagainst Allah while they know.
3/76 Yea, whoever fulfills his promise and guards (againstevil)-- then surely Allah loves those who guard (against evil).
3/77 (As for) those who take a small price for the covenant ofAllah and their own oaths-- surely they shall have no portion inthe hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them, nor will He lookupon them on the day of resurrection nor will He purify them, andthey shall have a painful chastisement.
3/78 Most surely there is a party amongst those who distort theBook with their tongue that you may consider it to be (a part) ofthe Book, and they say, It is from Allah, while it is not fromAllah, and they tell a lie against Allah whilst they know.
3/79 It is not meet for a mortal that Allah should give him theBook and the wisdom and prophethood, then he should say tomen: Be my servants rather than Allah's; but rather (he wouldsay): Be worshippers of the Lord because of your teaching theBook and your reading (it yourselves).
3/80 And neither would he enjoin you that you should take theangels and the prophets for lords; what! would he enjoin youwith unbelief after you are Muslims?
3/81 And when Allah made a covenant through the prophets:Certainly what I have given you of Book and wisdom-- then anmessenger comes to you verifying that which is with you, you mustbelieve in him, and you must aid him. He said: Do you affirmand accept My compact in this (matter)? They said: We doaffirm. He said: Then bear witness, and I (too) am of the bearersof witness with you.
3/82 Whoever therefore turns back after this, these it is that arethe transgressors.
3/83 Is it then other than Allah's religion that they seek (tofollow), and to Him submits whoever is in the heavens and theearth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him shall they bereturned.
3/84 Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed tous, and what was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq andYaqoub and the tribes, and what was given to Musa and Isa andto the prophets from their Lord; we do not make any distinctionbetween any of them, and to Him do we submit.
3/85 And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shallnot be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one ofthe losers.
3/86 How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after theirbelieving and (after) they had borne witness that the Messenger wastrue and clear arguments had come to them; and Allah does notguide the unjust people.
3/87 (As for) these, their reward is that upon them is the curseof Allah and the angels and of men, all together.
3/88 Abiding in it; their chastisement shall not be lightened norshall they be respited.
3/89 Except those who repent after that and amend, then surelyAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
3/90 Surely, those who disbelieve a,fter their believing, thenincrease in unbelief, their repentance shall not be accepted, andthese are they that go astray.
3/91 Surely, those who disbelieve and die while they are unbelievers,the earth full of gold shall not be accepted from one ofthem, though he should offer to ransom himself with it, these itis who shall have a painful chastisement, and they shall have nohelpers.
3/92 By no means shall you attain to righteousness until youspend (benevolently) out of what you love; and whatever thingyou spend, Allah surely knows it.
3/93 All food was lawful to the children of Israel except thatwhich Israel had forbidden to himself, before the Taurat wasrevealed. Say: Bring then the Taurat and read it, if you aretruthful.
3/94 Then whoever fabricates a lie against Allah after this,these it is that are the unjust.
3/95 Say: Allah has spoken the truth, therefore follow thereligion of Ibrahim, the upright one; and he was not one of thepolytheists.
3/96 Most surely the first house appointed for men is the one atBekka, blessed and a guidance for the nations.
3/97 In it are clear signs, the standing place of Ibrahim, andwhoever enters it shall be secure, and pilgrimage to the House isincumbent upon men for the sake of Allah, (upon) every onewho is able to undertake the journey to it; and whoever disbelieves,then surely Allah is Self-sufficient, above any need ofthe worlds.
3/98 Say: O followers of the Book! why do you disbelieve inthe communications of Allah? And Allah is a witness of whatyou do.
3/99 Say: O followers of the Book! why do you hinder him whobelieves from the way of Allah? You seek (to make) it crooked,while you are witness, and Allah is not heedless of what you do.
3/100 O you who believe! if you obey a party from amongthose who have been given the Book, they will turn you back asunbelievers after you have believed.
3/101 But how can you disbelieve while it is you to whom thecommunications of Allah are recited, and among you is HisMessenger? And whoever holds fast to Allah, he indeed is guided tothe right path.
3/102 O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allahwith the care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you areMuslims.
3/103 And hold fast by the covenant of Allah all together andbe not disunited, and remember the favor of Allah on you whenyou were enemies, then He united your hearts so by His favoryou became brethren; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire,then He saved you from it, thus does Allah make clear to youHis communications that you may follow the right way.
3/104 And from among you there should be a party who inviteto good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and theseit is that shall be successful.
3/105 And be not like those who became divided and disagreedafter clear arguments had come to them, and these it is that shallhave a grievous chastisement.
3/106 On the day when (some) faces shall turn white and(some) faces shall turn black; then as to those whose faces turnblack: Did you disbelieve after your believing? Taste thereforethe chastisement because you disbelieved.
3/107 And as to those whose faces turn white, they shall be inAllah's mercy; in it they shall-abide.
3/108 These are the communications of Allah which We reciteto you with truth, and Allah does not desire any injustice to thecreatures.
3/109 And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in theearth is Allah's; and to Allah all things return
3/110 You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefitof) men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong andbelieve in Allah; and if the followers of the Book had believed itwould have been better for them; of them (some) are believersand most of them are transgressors.
3/111 They shall by no means harm you but with a slight evil;and if they fight with you they shall turn (their) backs to you,then shall they not be helped.
3/112 Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever they arefound, except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant withmen, and they have become deserving of wrath from Allah, andhumiliation is made to cleave to them; this is because theydisbelieved in the communications of Allah and slew the prophetsunjustly; this is because they disobeyed and exceeded thelimits.
3/113 They are not all alike; of the followers of the Book thereis an upright party; they recite Allah's communications in thenighttime and they adore (Him).
3/114 They believe in Allah and the last day, and they enjoinwhat is right and forbid the wrong and they strive with oneanother in hastening to good deeds, and those are among the good.
3/115 And whatever good they do, they shall not be denied it, andAllah knows those who guard (against evil).
3/116 (As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealthnor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah;and these are the inmates of the fire; therein they shall abide.
3/117 The likeness of what they spend in the life of this world isas the likeness of wind in which is intense cold (that) smitesthe seed produce of a people who haw done injustice to theirsouls and destroys it; and Allah is not unjust to them, but theyare unjust to themselves.
3/118 O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends fromamong others than your own people; they do not fall short ofinflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehementhatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and whattheir breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made thecommunications clear to you, if you will understand.
3/119 Lo! you are they who will love them while they do not loveyou, and you believe in the Book (in) the whole of it; and whenthey meet you they say: We believe, and when they are alone, theybite the ends of their fingers in rage against you. Say: Die inyour rage; surely Allah knows what is in the breasts.
3/120 If good befalls you, it grieves them, and if an evil afflictsyou, they rejoice at it; and if you are patient and guard yourselves,their scheme will not injure you in any way; surely Allahcomprehends what they do.
3/121 And when you did go forth early in the morning from yourfamily to lodge the believers in encampments for war andAllah is Hearing, Knowing.
3/122 When two parties from among you had determined that theyshould show cowardice, and Allah was the guardian of them both,and in Allah should the believers trust.
3/123 And Allah did certainly assist you at Badr when you wereweak; be careful of (your duty to) Allah then, that you maygive thanks.
3/124 When you said to the believers: Does it not suffice you thatyour Lord should assist you with three thousand of the angelssent down?
3/125 Yea! if you remain patient and are on your guard, and theycome upon you in a headlong manner, your Lord will assist youwith five thousand of the havoc-making angels.
3/126 And Allah did not make it but as good news for you, andthat your hearts might be at ease thereby, and victory is onlyfrom Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
3/127 That He may cut off a portion from among those whodisbelieve, or abase them so that they should return disappointedof attaining what they desired.
3/128 You have no concern in the affair whether He turns tothem (mercifully) or chastises them, for surely they are unjust.
3/129 And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in theearth is Allah's; He forgives whom He pleases and chastiseswhom He pleases; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
3/130 O you who believe! do not devour usury, making itdouble and redouble, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, thatyou may be successful.
3/131 And guard yourselves against the fire which has beenprepared for the unbelievers.
3/132 And obey Allah and the Messenger, that you may be shownmercy.
3/133 And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord; and a Garden,the extensiveness of which is (as) the heavens and the earth, it isprepared for those who guard (against evil).
3/134 Those who spend (benevolently) in ease as well as instraitness, and those who restrain (their) anger and pardon men;and Allah loves the doers of good (to others).
3/135 And those who when they commit an indecency or doinjustice to their souls remember Allah and ask forgiveness fortheir faults-- and who forgives the faults but Allah, and (who) donot knowingly persist in what they have done.
3/136 (As for) these-- their reward is forgiveness from theirLord, and gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them,and excellent is the reward of the laborers.
3/137 Indeed there have been examples before you; thereforetravel in the earth and see what was the end of the rejecters.
3/138 This is a clear statement for men, and a guidance and anadmonition to those who guard (against evil).
3/139 And be not infirm, and be not grieving, and you shallhave the upper hand if you are believers.
3/140 If a wound has afflicted you (at Ohud), a wound like ithas also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and We bring thesedays to men by turns, and that Allah may know those whobelieve and take witnesses from among you; and Allah does notlove the unjust.
3/141 And that He may purge those who believe and deprive theunbelievers of blessings.
3/142 Do you think that you will enter the garden while Allah hasnot yet known those who strive hard from among you, and (He hasnot) known the patient.
3/143 And certainly you desired death before you met it, so indeedyou have seen it and you look (at it)
3/144 And Muhammad is no more than a messenger; the messengers havealready passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed willyou turn back upon your heels? And whoever turns back upon hisheels!s, he will by no means do harm to Allah in the least andAllah will reward the grateful.
3/145 And a soul will not die but with the permission of Allah theterm is fixed; and whoever desires the reward of this world, Ishall give him of it, and whoever desires the reward of thehereafter I shall give him of it, and I will reward the grateful.
3/146 And how many a prophet has fought with whom were manyworshippers of the Lord; so they did not become weak-hearted onaccount of what befell them in Allah's way, nor did they weaken,nor did they abase themselves; and Allah loves the patient.
3/147 And their saying was no other than that they said: Our Lord!forgive us our faults and our extravagance in our affair and makefirm our feet and help us against the unbelieving people.
3/148 So Allah gave them the reward of this world and betterreward of the hereafter and Allah loves those who do good (toothers).
3/149 O you who believe! if you obey those who disbelieve theywill turn you back upon your heels, so you will turn back losers.
3/150 Nay! Allah is your Patron and He is the best of the helpers.
3/151 We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve,because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down noauthority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode ofthe unjust.
3/152 And certainly Allah made good to you His promise when youslew them by His permission, until when you became weak-heartedand disputed about the affair and disobeyed after He had shownyou that which you loved; of you were some who desired this worldand of you were some who desired the hereafter; then He turnedyou away from them that He might tryyou; and He has certainly pardoned you, and Allah is Graciousto the believers.
3/153 When you ran off precipitately and did not wait for anyone, and the Messenger was calling you from your rear, so He gaveyou another sorrow instead of (your) sorrow, so that you mightnot grieve at what had escaped you, nor (at) what befell you; andAllah is aware of what you do.
3/154 Then after sorrow He sent down security upon you, acalm coming upon a party of you, and (there was) another partywhom their own souls had rendered anxious; they entertainedabout Allah thoughts of ignorance quite unjustly, saying: Wehave no hand in the affair. Say: Surely the affair is wholly (in thehands) of Allah. They conceal within their souls what theywould not reveal to you. They say: Had we any hand in theaffair, we would not have been slain here. Say: Had you remainedin your houses, those for whom slaughter was ordainedwould certainly have gone forth to the places where they wouldbe slain, and that Allah might test what was in your breasts andthat He might purge what was in your hearts; and Allah knowswhat is in the breasts.
3/155 (As for) those of you who turned back on the day whenthe two armies met, only the Shaitan sought to cause them tomake a slip on account of some deeds they had done, andcertainly Allah has pardoned them; surely Allah is Forgiving,Forbearing.
3/156 O you who believe! be not like those who disbelieve andsay of their brethren when they travel in the earth or engage infighting: Had they been with us, they would not have died andthey would not have been slain; so Allah makes this to be anintense regret in their hearts; and Allah gives life and causesdeath and Allah sees what you do.
3/157 And if you are slain in the way of Allah or you die,certainly forgiveness from Allah and mercy is better than whatthey amass.
3/158 And if indeed you die or you are slain, certainly to Allahshall you be gathered together.
3/159 Thus it is due to mercy from Allah that you deal withthem gently, and had you been rough, hard hearted, they wouldcertainly have dispersed from around you; pardon them thereforeand ask pardon for them, and take counsel with them in theaffair; so when you have decided, then place your trust in Allah;surely Allah loves those who trust.
3/160 If Allah assists you, then there is none that can overcomeyou, and if He forsakes you, who is there then that can assistyou after Him? And on Allah should the believers rely.
3/161 And it is not attributable to a prophet that he should actunfaithfully; and he who acts unfaithfully shall bring that inrespect of which he has acted unfaithfully on the day ofresurrection; then shall every soul be paid back fully what ithas earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
3/162 Is then he who follows the pleasure of Allah like him whohas made himself deserving of displeasure from Allah, and hisabode is hell; and it is an evil destination.
3/163 There are (varying) grades with Allah, and Allah sees whatthey do.
3/164 Certainly Allah conferred a benefit upon the believers whenHe raised among them a Messenger from among themselves, recitingto them His communications and purifying them, and teaching themthe Book and the wisdom, although before that they were surely inmanifest error.
3/165 What! when a misfortune befell you, and you had certainlyafflicted (the unbelievers) with twice as much, you began to say:Whence is this? Say: It is from yourselves; surely Allah haspower over all things.
3/166 And what befell you on the day when the two armies met (atOhud) was with Allah's knowledge, and that He might know thebelievers.
3/167 And that He might know the hypocrites; and it was said tothem: Come, fight in Allah's way, or defend yourselves. Theysaid: If we knew fighting, we would certainly have followed you.They were on that day much nearer to unbelief than to belief.They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts, and Allahbest knows what they conceal.
3/168 Those who said of their brethren whilst they (themselves)held back: Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed.Say: Then avert death from yourselves if you speak the truth.
3/169 And reckon not those who are killed in Allah's way as dead;nay, they are alive (and) are provided sustenance from theirLord;
3/170 Rejoicing in what Allah has given them out of His grace andthey rejoice for the sake of those who, (being left) behind them,have not yet joined them, that they shall have no fear, nor shallthey grieve.
3/171 They rejoice on account of favor from Allah and (His) grace,and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.
3/172 (As for) those who responded (at Ohud) to the call of Allahand the Messenger after the wound had befallen them, those amongthem who do good (to others) and guard (against evil)shall have agreat reward.
3/173 Those to whom the people said: Surely men have gatheredagainst you, therefore fear them, but this increased their faith,and they said: Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent isthe Protector.
3/174 So they returned with favor from Allah and (His) grace, noevil touched them and they followed the pleasure of Allah; andAllah is the Lord of mighty grace.
3/175 It is only the Shaitan that causes you to fear from hisfriends, but do not fear them, and fear Me if you are believers.
3/176 And let not those grieve you who fall into unbelief hastily;surely they can do no harm to Allah at all; Allah intends that Heshould not give them any portion in the hereafter, and they shallhave a grievous chastisement.
3/177 Surely those who have bought unbelief at the price of faithshall do no harm at all to Allah, and they shall have a painfulchastisement.
3/178 And let not those who disbelieve think that Our granting themrespite is better for their souls; We grant them respite onlythat they may add to their sins; and they shall have adisgraceful chastisement.
3/179 On no account will Allah leave the believers in thecondition which you are in until He separates the evil from thegood; nor is Allah going to make you acquainted with the unseen,but Allah chooses of His messengers whom He pleases; thereforebelieve in Allah and His messengers; and if you believe and guard(against evil), then you shall have a great reward.
3/180 And let not those deem, who are niggardly in giving awaythat which Allah has granted them out of His grace, that it isgood for them; nay, it is worse for them; they shall have thatwhereof they were niggardly made to cleave to their necks on theresurrection day; and Allah's is the heritage of the heavens andthe earth; and Allah is aware of what you do.
3/181 Allah has certainly heard the saying of those who said:Surely Allah is poor and we are rich. I will record what theysay, and their killing the prophets unjustly, and I will say:Taste the chastisement of burning.
3/182 This is for what your own hands have sent before and becauseAllah is not in the least unjust to the servants.
3/183 (Those are they) who said: Surely Allah has enjoined us thatwe should not believe in any messenger until he brings us anoffering which the fire consumes. Say: Indeed, there came to youmessengers before me with clear arguments and with that which youdemand; why then did you kill them if you are truthful?
3/184 But if they reject you, so indeed were rejected before youmessengers who came with clear arguments and scriptures and theilluminating book.
3/185 Every soul shall taste of death, and you shall only bepaid fully your reward on the resurrection day; then whoever isremoved far away from the fire and is made to enter the gardenhe indeed has attained the object; and the life of this world isnothing but a provision of vanities.
3/186 You shall certainly be tried respecting your wealth andyour souls, and you shall certainly hear from those who havebeen given the Book before you and from those who are polytheistsmuch annoying talk; and if you are patient and guard(against evil), surely this is one of the affairs (which should be)determined upon.
3/187 And when Allah made a covenant with those who weregiven the Book: You shall certainly make it known to men andyou shall not hide it; but they cast it behind their backs and tooka small price for it; so evil is that which they buy.
3/188 Do not think those who rejoice for what they have doneand love that they should be praised for what they have notdone-- so do by no means think them to be safe from thechastisement, and they shall have a painful chastisement.
3/189 And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth,and Allah has power over all things.
3/190 Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earthand the alternation of the night and the day there are signs formen who understand.
3/191 Those who remember Allah standing and sitting andlying on their sides and reflect on the creation of the heavens andthe earth: Our Lord! Thou hast not created this in vain! Glory beto Thee; save us then from the chastisement of the fire:
3/192 Our Lord! surely whomsoever Thou makest enter thefire, him Thou hast indeed brought to disgrace, and there shallbe no helpers for the unjust:
3/193 Our Lord! surely we have heard a preacher calling to thefaith, saying: Believe in your Lord, so we did believe; Our Lord!forgive us therefore our faults, and cover our evil deeds andmake us die with the righteous.
3/194 Our Lord! and grant us what Thou hast promised us byThy messengers; and disgrace us not on the day of resurrection;surely Thou dost not fail to perform the promise.
3/195 So their Lord accepted their prayer: That I will not wastethe work of a worker among you, whether male or female, theone of you being from the other; they, therefore, who fled andwere turned out of their homes and persecuted in My way andwho fought and were slain, I will most certainly cover their evildeeds, and I will most certainly make them enter gardens beneathwhich rivers flow; a reward from Allah, and with Allah is yetbetter reward.
3/196 Let it not deceive you that those who disbelieve go to andfro in the cities fearlessly.
3/197 A brief enjoyment! then their abode is hell, and evil is theresting-place.
3/198 But as to those who are careful of (their duty to) theirLord, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abidingin them; an entertainment from their Lord, and that which iswith Allah is best for the righteous.
3/199 And most surely of the followers of the Book there arethose who believe in Allah and (in) that which has been revealedto you and (in) that which has been revealed to them, beinglowly before Allah; they do not take a small price for thecommunications of Allah; these it is that have their reward withtheir Lord; surely Allah is quick in reckoning.
3/200 O you who believe! be patient and excel in patience andremain steadfast, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, that youmay be successful.
4/1 O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who createdyou from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) andspread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of(your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (yourrights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watchesover you.
4/2 And give to the orphans their property, and do not substituteworthless (things) for (their) good (ones), and do not devourtheir property (as an addition) to your own property; this issurely a great crime.
4/3 And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towardsorphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two andthree and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice(between them), then (marry) only one or what your right handspossess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from theright course.
4/4 And give women their dowries as a free gift, but if they ofthemselves be pleased to give up to you a portion of it, then eat itwith enjoyment and with wholesome result.
4/5 And do not give away your property which Allah has madefor you a (means of) support to the weak of understanding, andmaintain them out of (the profits of) it, and clothe them andspeak to them words of honest advice.
4/6 And test the orphans until they attain puberty; then if youfind in them maturity of intellect, make over to them theirproperty, and do not consume it extravagantly and hastily, lestthey attain to full age; and whoever is rich, let him abstainaltogether, and whoever is poor, let him eat reasonably; thenwhen you make over to them their property, call witnesses intheir presence; and Allah is enough as a Reckoner.
4/7 Men shall have a portion of what the parents and the nearrelatives leave, and women shall have a portion of what theparents and the near relatives leave, whether there is little ormuch of it; a stated portion.
4/8 And when there are present at the division the relatives andthe orphans and the needy, give them (something) out of it andspeak to them kind words.
4/9 And let those fear who, should they leave behind themweakly offspring, would fear on their account, so let them becareful of (their duty to) Allah, and let them speak right words.
4/10 (As for) those who swallow the property of the orphansunjustly, surely they only swallow fire into their bellies and theyshall enter burning fire.
4/11 Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The maleshall have the equal of the portion of two females; then if theyare more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of whatthe deceased has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half;and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of whathe has left if he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) histwo parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the third; butif he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth after (thepayment of) a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt; yourparents and your children, you know not which of them is thenearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah:Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.
4/12 And you shall have half of what your wives leave if theyhave no child, but if they have a child, then you shall have afourth of what they leave after (payment of) any bequest theymay have bequeathed or a debt; and they shall have the fourth ofwhat you leave if you have no child, but if you have a child thenthey shall have the eighth of what you leave after (payment of) abequest you may have bequeathed or a debt; and if a man or awoman leaves property to be inherited by neither parents noroffspring, and he (or she) has a brother or a sister, then each ofthem two shall have the sixth, but if they are more than that,they shall be sharers in the third after (payment of) any bequestthat may have been bequeathed or a debt that does not harm(others); this is an ordinance from Allah: and Allah is Knowing,Forbearing.
4/13 These are Allah's limits, and whoever obeys Allah and HisMessenger, He will cause him to enter gardens beneath which riversflow, to abide in them; and this is the great achievement.
4/14 And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and goesbeyond His limits, He will cause him to enter fire to abide in it,and he shall have an abasing chastisement.
4/15 And as for those who are guilty of an indecency fromamong your women, call to witnesses against them four (witnesses)from among you; then if they bear witness confine themto the houses until death takes them away or Allah opens someway for them.
4/16 And as for the two who are guilty of indecency fromamong you, give them both a punishment; then if they repentand amend, turn aside from them; surely Allah is Oft-returning(to mercy), the Merciful.
4/17 Repentance with Allah is only for those who do evil inignorance, then turn (to Allah) soon, so these it is to whom Allahturns (mercifully), and Allah is ever Knowing, Wise.
4/18 And repentance is not for those who go on doing evildeeds, until when death comes to one of them, he says: Surelynow I repent; nor (for) those who die while they are unbelievers.These are they for whom We have prepared a painful chastisement.
4/19 O you who believe! it is not lawful for you that you shouldtake women as heritage against (their) will, and do not straitenthem m order that you may take part of what you have giventhem, unless they are guilty of manifest indecency, and treatthem kindly; then if you hate them, it may be that you dislike athing while Allah has placed abundant good in it.
4/20 And if you wish to have (one) wife in place of another andyou have given one of them a heap of gold, then take not from itanything; would you take it by slandering (her) and (doing her)manifest wrong?
4/21 And how can you take it when one of you has alreadygone in to the other and they have made with you a firmcovenant?
4/22 And marry not woman whom your fathers married, exceptwhat has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful, andit is an evil way.
4/23 Forbidden to you are your mothers and your daughtersand your sisters and your paternal aunts and your maternalaunts and brothers' daughters and sisters' daughters and yourmothers that have suckled you and your foster-sisters and mothersof your wives and your step-daughters who are in your guardianship,(born) of your wives to whom you have gone in, but if youhave not gone in to them, there is no blame on you (in marryingthem), and the wives of your sons who are of your own loinsand that you should have two sisters together, except what hasalready passed; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
4/24 And all married women except those whom your righthands possess (this is) Allah's ordinance to you, and lawful foryou are (all women) besides those, provided that you seek (them)with your property, taking (them) in marriage not committingfornication. Then as to those whom you profit by, give themtheir dowries as appointed; and there is no blame on you aboutwhat you mutually agree after what is appointed; surely Allah isKnowing, Wise.
4/25 And whoever among you has not within his power amplenessof means to marry free believing women, then (he maymarry) of those whom your right hands possess from amongyour believing maidens; and Allah knows best your faith: youare (sprung) the one from the other; so marry them with thepermission of their masters, and give them their dowries justly,they being chaste, not fornicating, nor receiving paramours; andwhen they are taken in marriage, then if they are guilty of indecency,they shall suffer half the punishment which is (inflicted)upon free women. This is for him among you who fears fallinginto evil; and that you abstain is better for you, and Allah isForgiving, Merciful.
4/26 Allah desires to explain to you, and to guide you into theways of those before you, and to turn to you (mercifully), andAllah is Knowing, Wise.
4/27 And Allah desires that He should turn to you (mercifully),and those who follow (their) lusts desire that you should deviate(with) a great deviation.
4/28 Allah desires that He should make light your burdens,and man is created weak.
4/29 O you who believe! do not devour your property amongyourselves falsely, except that it be trading by your mutualconsent; and do not kill your people; surely Allah is Merciful toyou.
4/30 And whoever does this aggressively and unjustly, We willsoon cast him into fire; and this is easy to Allah.
4/31 If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, Wewill do away with your small sins and cause you to enter anhonorable place of entering.
4/32 And do not covet that by which Allah has made some ofyou excel others; men shall have the benefit of what they earnand women shall have the benefit of what they earn; and askAllah of His grace; surely Allah knows all things.
4/33 And to every one We have appointed heirs of what parentsand near relatives leave; and as to those with whom your rightshands have ratified agreements, give them their portion; surelyAllah is a witness over all things.
4/34 Men are the maintainers of women because Allah hasmade some of them to excel others and because they spend outof their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guardingthe unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whosepart you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone inthe sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do notseek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
4/35 And if you fear a breach between the two, then appointjudge from his people and a judge from her people; if they bothdesire agreement, Allah will effect harmony between them, surelyAllah is Knowing, Aware.
4/36 And serve Allah and do not associate any thing with Himand be good to the parents and to the near of kin and theorphans and the needy and the neighbor of (your) kin and thealien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarerand those whom your right hands possess; surely Allah does notlove him who is proud, boastful;
4/37 Those who are niggardly and bid people to be niggardlyand hide what Allah has given them out of His grace; and Wehave prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful chastisement.
4/38 And those who spend their property (in alms) to be seenof the people and do not believe in Allah nor in the last day; andas for him whose associate is the Shaitan, an evil associate ishe!
4/39 And what (harm) would it have done them if they hadbelieved in Allah and the last day and spent (benevolently) ofwhat Allah had given them? And Allah knows them.
4/40 Surely Allah does not do injustice to the weight of anatom, and if it is a good deed He multiplies it and gives fromHimself a great reward.
4/41 How will it be, then, when We bring from every people awitness and bring you as a witness against these?
4/42 On that day will those who disbelieve and disobey theMessenger desire that the earth were levelled with them, and theyshall not hide any word from Allah.
4/43 O you who believe! do not go near prayer when you areIntoxicated until you know (well) what you say, nor when you areunder an obligation to perform a bath-- unless (you are) travellingon the road-- until you have washed yourselves; and if youare sick, or on a journey, or one of you come from the privy or youhave touched the women, and you cannot find water, betakeyourselves to pure earth, then wipe your faces and your hands;surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.
4/44 Have you not considered those to whom a portion of theBook has been given? They buy error and desire that you shouldgo astray from the way.
4/45 And Allah best knows your enemies; and Allah suffices asa Guardian, and Allah suffices as a Helper.
4/46 Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter wordsfrom their places and say: We have heard and we disobey and:Hear, may you not be made to hear! and: Raina, distorting (theword) with their tongues and taunting about religion; and if theyhad said (instead): We have heard and we obey, and hearken,and unzurna it would have been better for them and moreupright; but Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief,so they do not believe but a little.
4/47 O you who have been given the Book! believe that whichWe have revealed, verifying what you have, before We alter facesthen turn them on their backs, or curse them as We cursed theviolaters of the Sabbath, and the command of Allah shall beexecuted.
4/48 Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should beassociated with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoeverHe pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah,he devises indeed a great sin.
4/49 Have you not considered those who attribute purity tothemselves? Nay, Allah purifies whom He pleases; and they shallnot be wronged the husk of a date stone.
4/50 See how they forge the lie against Allah, and this issufficient as a manifest sin.
4/51 Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Bookhas been given? They believe in idols and false deities and say ofthose who disbelieve: These are better guided in the path thanthose who believe.
4/52 Those are they whom Allah has cursed, and whomeverAllah curses you shall not find any helper for him.
4/53 Or have they a share in the kingdom? But then they wouldnot give to people even the speck in the date stone.
4/54 Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given themof His grace? But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children theBook and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom.
4/55 So of them is he who believes in him, and of them is hewho turns away from him, and hell is sufficient to burn.
4/56 (As for) those who disbelieve in Our communications, Weshall make them enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughlyburned, We will change them for other skins, that they may tastethe chastisement; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
4/57 And (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, Wewill make them enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abidein them for ever; they shall have therein pure mates, and Weshall make them enter a dense shade.
4/58 Surely Allah commands you to make over trusts to theirowners and that when you judge between people you judge withjustice; surely Allah admonishes you with what is excellent;surely Allah is Seeing, Hearing.
4/59 O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger andthose in authority from among you; then if you quarrel aboutanything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe inAllah and the last day; this is better and very good in the end.
4/60 Have you not seen those who assert that they believe inwhat has been revealed to you and what was revealed beforeyou? They desire to summon one another to the judgment of theShaitan, though they were commanded to deny him, and theShaitan desires to lead them astray into a remote error.
4/61 And when it is said to them: Come to what Allah hasrevealed and to the Messenger, you will see the hypocrites turningaway from you with (utter) aversion.
4/62 But how will it be when misfortune befalls them on accountof what their hands have sent before? Then they will cometo you swearing by Allah: We did not desire (anything) but goodand concord.
4/63 These are they of whom Allah knows what is in theirhearts; therefore turn aside from them and admonish them, andspeak to them effectual words concerning themselves.
4/64 And We did not send any messenger but that he should beobeyed by Allah's permission; and had they, when they wereunjust to themselves, come to you and asked forgiveness ofAllah and the Messenger had (also) asked forgiveness for them,they would have found Allah Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful.
4/65 But no! by your Lord! they do not believe (in reality) untilthey make you a judge of that which has become a matter ofdisagreement among them, and then do not find any straitness intheir hearts as to what you have decided and submit with entiresubmission.
4/66 And if We had prescribed for them: Lay down your livesor go forth from your homes, they would not have done it excepta few of them; and if they had done what they were admonished,it would have certainly been better for them and best in strengthening(them);
4/67 And then We would certainly have given them from Ourselvesa great reward.
4/68 And We would certainly have guided them in the rightpath.
4/69 And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, these are withthose upon whom Allah has bestowed favors from among theprophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and agoodly company are they!
4/70 This is grace from Allah, and sufficient is Allah as the Knower.
4/71 O you who believe! take your precaution, then go forth indetachments or go forth in a body.
4/72 And surely among you is he who would certainly hangback! If then a misfortune befalls you he says: Surely Allahconferred a benefit on me that I was not present with them.
4/73 And if grace from Allah come to you, he would certainlycry out, as if there had not been any friendship between you andhim: Would that I had been with them, then I should haveattained a mighty good fortune.
4/74 Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell thisworld's life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way ofAllah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him amighty reward.
4/75 And what reason have you that you should not fight in theway of Allah and of the weak among the men and the womenand the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to goforth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give usfrom Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper.
4/76 Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and thosewho disbelieve fight in the way of the Shaitan. Fight thereforeagainst the friends of the Shaitan; surely the strategy of theShaitan is weak.
4/77 Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withholdyour hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; but whenfighting is prescribed for them, lo! a party of them fear men asthey ought to have feared Allah, or (even) with a greater fear,and say: Our Lord! why hast Thou ordained fighting for us?Wherefore didst Thou not grant us a delay to a near end? Say:The provision of this world is short, and the hereafter is betterfor him who guards (against evil); and you shall not be wrongedthe husk of a date stone.
4/78 Wherever you are, death will overtake you, though youare in lofty towers, and if a benefit comes to them, they say: Thisis from Allah; and if a misfortune befalls them, they say: This isfrom you. Say: All is from Allah, but what is the matter withthese people that they do not make approach to understandingwhat is told (them)?
4/79 Whatever benefit comes to you (O man!), it is from Allah,and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is from yourself, and Wehave sent you (O Prophet!), to mankind as a messenger; and Allahis sufficient as a witness.
4/80 Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, andwhoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper overthem.
4/81 And they say: Obedience. But when they go out from yourpresence, a party of them decide by night upon doing otherwisethan what you say; and Allah writes down what they decide bynight, therefore turn aside from them and trust in Allah, andAllah is sufficient as a protector.
4/82 Do they not then meditate on the Quran? And if it werefrom any other than Allah, they would have found in it many adiscrepancy.
4/83 And when there comes to them news of security or fearthey spread it abroad; and if they had referred it to the Messengerand to those in authority among them, those among them whocan search out the knowledge of it would have known it, andwere it not for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, youwould have certainly followed the Shaitan save a few
4/84 Fight then in Allah's way; this is not imposed on youexcept In relation to yourself, and rouse the believers to ardormaybe Allah will restrain the fighting of those who disbelieveand Allah is strongest in prowess and strongest to give anexemplary punishment.
4/85 Whoever joins himself (to another) in a good cause shallhave a share of it, and whoever joins himself (to another) in anevil cause shall have the responsibility of it, and Allahcontrolsall things.
4/86 And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet with abetter (greeting) than it or return it; surely Allah takes accountof all things.
4/87 Allah, there is no god but He-- He will most certainlygather you together on the resurrection day, there is no doubt init; and who is more true in word than Allah?
4/88 What is the matter with you, then, that you have becometwo parties about the hypocrites, while Allah has made themreturn (to unbelief) for what they have earned? Do you wish toguide him whom Allah has caused to err? And whomsoeverAllah causes to err, you shall by no means find a way for him.
4/89 They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved,so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not fromamong them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way;but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever youfind them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
4/90 Except those who reach a people between whom and youthere is an alliance, or who come to you, their hearts shrinkingfrom fighting you or fighting their own people; and if Allah hadpleased, He would have given them power over you, so that theyshould have certainly fought you; therefore if they withdrawfrom you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allahhas not given you a way against them.
4/91 You will find others who desire that they should be safefrom you and secure from their own people; as often as they aresent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong;therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offeryou peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill themwherever you find them; and against these We have given you aclear authority.
4/92 And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer exceptby mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, he shouldfree a believing slave, and blood-money should be paid to hispeople unless they remit it as alms; but if he be from a tribehostile to you and he is a believer, the freeing of a believing slave(suffices), and if he is from a tribe between whom and you thereis a convenant, the blood-money should be paid to his peoplealong with the freeing of a believing slave; but he who cannotfind (a slave) should fast for two months successively: a penancefrom Allah, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
4/93 And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishmentis hell; he shall abide in it, and Allah will send His wrath on himand curse him and prepare for him a painful chastisement.
4/94 O you who believe! when you go to war in Allah's way,make investigation, and do not say to any one who offers youpeace: You are not a believer. Do you seek goods of this world'slife! But with Allah there are abundant gains; you too were suchbefore, then Allah conferred a benefit on you; therefore makeinvestigation; surely Allah is aware of what you do.
4/95 The holders back from among the believers, not havingany injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with theirproperty and their persons are not equal; Allah has made thestrivers with their property and their persons to excel the holdersback a (high) degree, and to each (class) Allah has promisedgood; and Allah shall grant to the strivers above the holdersback a mighty reward:
4/96 (High) degrees from Him and protection and mercy, andAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
4/97 Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die whilethey are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state wereyou? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say:Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migratedtherein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evilresort
4/98 Except the weak from among the men and the childrenwho have not in their power the means nor can they find a way(to escape);
4/99 So these, it may be, Allah will pardon them, and Allah isPardoning, Forgiving.
4/100 And whoever flies in Allah's way, he will find in the earthmany a place of refuge and abundant resources, and whoevergoes forth from his house flying to Allah and His Messenger, andthen death overtakes him, his reward is indeed with Allah andAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
4/101 And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame onyou if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelievewill cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are youropen enemy.
4/102 And when you are among them and keep up the prayerfor them, let a party of them stand up with you, and let themtake their arms; then when they have prostrated themselves letthem go to your rear, and let another party who have not prayedcome forward and pray with you, and let them take their precautionsand their arms; (for) those who disbelieve desire thatyou may be careless of your arms and your luggage, so that theymay then turn upon you with a sudden united attack, and thereis no blame on you, if you are annoyed with rain or if you aresick, that you lay down your arms, and take your precautions;surely Allah has prepared a disgraceful chastisement for theunbelievers.
4/103 Then when you have finished the prayer, remember Allahstanding and sitting and reclining; but when you are secure(from danger) keep up prayer; surely prayer is a timed ordinancefor the believers.
4/104 And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if yousuffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain,and you hope from Allah what they do not hope; and Allah isKnowing, Wise.
4/105 Surely We have revealed the Book to you with the truththat you may judge between people by means of that whichAllah has taught you; and be not an advocate on behalf of thetreacherous.
4/106 And ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.
4/107 And do not plead on behalf of those who act unfaithfullyto their souls; surely Allah does not love him who is treacherous,sinful;
4/108 They hide themselves from men and do not hide themselvesfrom Allah, and He is with them when they meditate bynight words which please Him not, and Allah encompasses whatthey do.
4/109 Behold! you are they who (may) plead for them in thisworld's life, but who will plead for them with Allah on theresurrection day, or who shall be their protector?
4/110 And whoever does evil or acts unjustly to his soul, thenasks forgiveness of Allah, he shall find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
4/111 And whoever commits a sin, he only commits it againsthis own soul; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
4/112 And whoever commits a fault or a sin, then accuses of itone innocent, he indeed takes upon himself the burden of acalumny and a manifest sin.
4/113 And were it not for Allah's grace upon you and His mercya party of them had certainly designed to bring you to perditionand they do not bring (aught) to perdition but their own souls,and they shall not harm you in any way, and Allah has revealed toyou the Book and the wisdom, and He has taught you what youdid not know, and Allah's grace on you is very great.
4/114 There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (inhis) who enjoins charity or goodness or reconciliation betweenpeople; and whoever does this seeking Allah's pleasure, We willgive him a mighty reward.
4/115 And whoever acts hostilely to the Messenger after thatguidance has become manifest to him, and follows other than theway of the believers, We will turn him to that to which he has(himself) turned and make him enter hell; and it is anevil resort.
4/116 Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should beassociated with Him, and He forgives what is besides this towhom He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah, heindeed strays off into a remote error.
4/117 They do not call besides Him on anything but idols, andthey do not call on anything but a rebellious Shaitan.
4/118 Allah has cursed him; and he said: Most certainly I willtake of Thy servants an appointed portion:
4/119 And most certainly I will lead them astray and excite inthem vain desires, and bid them so that they shall slit the ears ofthe cattle, and most certainly I will bid them so that they shall alterAllah's creation; and whoever takes the Shaitan for a guardianrather than Allah he indeed shall suffer a manifest loss.
4/120 He gives them promises and excites vain desires in them;and the Shaitan does not promise them but to deceive.
4/121 These are they whose abode is hell, and they shall not findany refuge from it.
4/122 And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will makethem enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abidetherein for ever; (it is) a promise of Allah, true (indeed), and whois truer of word than Allah?
4/123 (This) shall not be in accordance with your vain desiresnor in accordance with the vain desires of the followers of theBook; whoever does evil, he shall be requited with it, and besidesAllah he will find for himself neither a guardian nor a helper.
4/124 And whoever does good deeds whether male or femaleand he (or she) is a believer-- these shall enter the garden, and theyshall not be dealt with a jot unjustly.
4/125 And who has a better religion than he who submitshimself entirely to Allah? And he is the doer of good (to others)and follows the faith of Ibrahim, the upright one, and Allah tookIbrahim as a friend.
4/126 And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in theearth is Allah's; and Allah encompasses all things.
4/127 And they ask you a decision about women. Say: Allahmakes known to you His decision concerning them, and thatwhich is recited to you in the Book concerning female orphanswhom you do not give what is appointed for them while you desireto marry them, and concerning the weak among children, andthat you should deal towards orphans with equity; and whatevergood you do, Allah surely knows it.
4/128 And if a woman fears ill usage or desertion on the part ofher husband, there is no blame on them, if they effect a reconciliationbetween them, and reconciliation is better, and avarice hasbeen made to be present in the (people's) minds; and if you dogood (to others) and guard (against evil), then surely Allah isaware of what you do.
4/129 And you have it not in your power to do justice betweenwives, even though you may wish (it), but be not disinclined (fromone) with total disinclination, so that you leave her as it were insuspense; and if you effect a reconciliation and guard (againstevil), then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
4/130 And if they separate, Allah will render them both freefrom want out of His ampleness, and Allah is Ample-giving, Wise.
4/131 And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in theearth is Allah's and certainly We enjoined those who were giventhe Book before you and (We enjoin) you too that you should becareful of (your duty to) Allah; and if you disbelieve, then surelywhatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah'sand Allah is Self-sufficient, Praise-worthy.
4/132 And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in theearth is Allah's, and Allah is sufficient as a Protector.
4/133 If He please, He can make you pass away, O people! andbring others; and Allah has the power to do this.
4/134 Whoever desires the reward of this world, then with Allahis the reward of this world and the hereafter; and Allah is Hearing,Seeing.
4/135 O you who believe! be maintainers of justice, bearers ofwitness of Allah's sake, though it may be against your own selvesor (your) parents or near relatives; if he be rich or poor, Allah isnearer to them both in compassion; therefore do not follow (your)low desires, lest you deviate; and if you swerve or turn aside, thensurely Allah is aware of what you do.
4/136 O you who believe! believe in Allah and His Messenger andthe Book which He has revealed to His Messenger and the Bookwhich He revealed before; and whoever disbelieves in Allah andHis angels and His messengers and the last day, he indeed strays offinto a remote error.
4/137 Surely (as for) those who believe then disbelieve, againbelieve and again disbelieve, then increase in disbelief, Allah willnot forgive them nor guide them in the (right) path.
4/138 Announce to the hypocrites that they shall have a painfulchastisement:
4/139 Those who take the unbelievers for guardians rather thanbelievers. Do they seek honor from them? Then surely all honor isfor Allah.
4/140 And indeed He has revealed to you in the Book that whenyou hear Allah's communications disbelieved in and mocked atdo not sit with them until they enter into some other discourse;surely then you would be like them; surely Allah will gathertogether the hypocrites and the unbelievers all in hell.
4/141 Those who wait for (some misfortune to befall) you thenIf you have a victory from Allah they say: Were we not with you?And i. there IS a chance for the unbelievers, they say: Did we notacquire the mastery over you and defend you from the believers?So Allah shall Judge between you on the day of resurrection, andAllah will by no means give the unbelievers a way against thebelievers.
4/142 Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah, and He shallrequite their deceit to them, and when they stand up to prayerthey stand up sluggishly; they do it only to be seen of men and donot remember Allah save a little.
4/143 Wavering between that (and this), (belonging) neither tothese nor to those; and whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shallnot find a way for him.
4/144 O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friendsrather than the believers; do you desire that you should give toAllah a manifest proof against yourselves?
4/145 Surely the hypocrites are in the lowest stage of the fireand you shall not find a helper for them.
4/146 Except those who repent and amend and hold fast toAllah and are sincere in their religion to Allah, these are with thebelievers, and Allah will grant the believers a mighty reward.
4/147 Why should Allah chastise you if you are grateful andbelieve? And Allah is the Multiplier of rewards, Knowing
4/148 Allah does not love the public utterance of hurtful speechunless (it be) by one to whom injustice has been done; and Allah isHearing, Knowing.
4/149 If you do good openly or do it in secret or pardon an evilthen surely Allah is Pardoning, Powerful.
4/150 Surely those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and(those who) desire to make a distinction between Allah and Hismessengers and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, anddesire to take a course between (this and) that.
4/151 These it is that are truly unbelievers, and We have preparedfor the unbelievers a disgraceful chastisement.
4/152 And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and donot make a distinction between any of them-- Allah will grantthem their rewards; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
4/153 The followers of the Book ask you to bring down to thema book from heaven; so indeed they demanded of Musa a greaterthing than that, for they said: Show us Allah manifestly; so thelightning overtook them on account of their injustice. Then theytook the calf (for a god), after clear signs had come to them, butWe pardoned this; and We gave to Musa clear authority.
4/154 And We lifted the mountain (Sainai) over them at (theli taking of the covenant) and We said to them: Enter the doormaking obeisance; and We said to them: Do not exceed the limitsof the Sabbath, and We made with them a firm covenant.
4/155 Therefore, for their breaking their covenant and theirdisbelief in the communications of Allah and their killing theprophets wrongfully and their saying: Our hearts are covered;nay! Allah set a seal upon them owing to their unbelief, so theyshall not believe except a few.
4/156 And for their unbelief and for their having uttered againstMarium a grievous calumny.
4/157 And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isason of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nordid they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and mostsurely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; theyhave no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, andthey killed him not for sure.
4/158 Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
4/159 And there is not one of the followers of the Book but mostcertainly believes in this before his death, and on the day ofresurrection he (Isa) shall be a witness against them.
4/160 Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are Jews did Wedisallow to them the good things which had been made lawful forthem and for their hindering many (people) from Allah's way.
4/161 And their taking usury though indeed they were forbiddenit and their devouring the property of people falsely, andWe have prepared for the unbelievers from among them a painfulchastisement.
4/162 But the firm in knowledge among them and the believersbelieve in what has been revealed to. you and what was revealedbefore you, and those who keep up prayers and those who give thepoor-rate and the believers in Allah and the last day, these it iswhom We will give a mighty reward.
4/163 Surely We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh,and the prophets after him, and We revealed to Ibrahim andIsmail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and Isa and Ayuband Yunus and Haroun and Sulaiman and We gave to Dawood
4/164 And (We sent) messengers We have mentioned to you beforeand messengers we have not mentioned to you; and to Musa, Allahaddressed His Word, speaking (to him):
4/165 (We sent) messengers as the givers of good news and aswarners, so that people should not have a plea against Allah afterthe (coming of) messengers; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
4/166 But Allah bears witness by what He has revealed to youthat He has revealed it with His knowledge, and the angels bearwitness (also); and Allah is sufficient as a witness.
4/167 Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and hinder (men)from Allah's way, they indeed have strayed off into a remote
4/168 Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and act unjustlyAllah will not forgive them nor guide them to a path
4/169 Except the path of hell, to abide in it for ever, and this iseasy to Allah.
4/170 O people! surely the Messenger has come to you with thetruth from your Lord, therefore believe, (it shall be) good for youand If you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the heavens andthe earth is Allah's; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
4/171 O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in yourreligion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) thetruth; the Messiah, Isa son of Marium is only a messenger of Allahand His Word which He communicated to Marium and a spiritfrom Him; believe therefore in Allah and His messengers, and saynot, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one Allah; farbe It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in theheavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficientfor a Protector.
4/172 The Messiah does by no means disdain that he should be aservant of Allah, nor do the angels who are near to Him, andwhoever disdains His service and is proud, He will gather them alltogether to Himself.
4/173 Then as for those who believe and do good, He will paythem fully their rewards and give them more out of His grace; andas for those who disdain and are proud, He will chastise them witha painful chastisement. And they shall not find for themselvesbesides Allah a guardian or a helper
4/174 O people! surely there has come to you manifest prooffrom your Lord and We have sent to you clear light.
4/175 Then as for those who believe in Allah and hold fast byHim, He will cause them to enter into His mercy and grace andguide them to Himself on a right path.
4/176 They ask you for a decision of the law. Say: Allah givesyou a decision concerning the person who has neither parents noroffspring; if a man dies (and) he has no son and he has a sister, sheshall have half of what he leaves, and he shall be her heir she hasno son; but if there be two (sisters), they shall have two-thirds ofwhat he leaves; and if there are brethren, men and women, thenthe male shall have the like of the portion of two females; Allahmakes clear to you, lest you err; and Allah knows all things.
5/1 O you who believe! fulfill the obligations. The cattle quadrupedsare allowed to you except that which is recited to you, notviolating the prohibition against game when you are enteringupon the performance of the pilgrimage; surely Allah orders whatHe desires.
5/2 O you who believe! do not violate the signs appointed byAllah nor the sacred month, nor (interfere with) the offerings, northe sacrificial animals with garlands, nor those going to the sacredhouse seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord; and when youare free from the obligations of the pilgrimage, then hunt, and letnot hatred of a people-- because they hindered you from theSacred Masjid-- incite you to exceed the limits, and help oneanother in goodness and piety, and do not help one another in sinand aggression; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surelyAllah is severe in requiting (evil).
5/3 Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and blood, andflesh of swine, and that on which any other name than that ofAllah has been invoked, and the strangled (animal) and thatbeaten to death, and that killed by a fall and that killed by beingsmitten with the horn, and that which wild beasts have eaten,except what you slaughter, and what is sacrificed on stones set up(for idols) and that you divide by the arrows; that is a transgression.This day have those who disbelieve despaired of yourreligion, so fear them not, and fear Me. This day have I perfectedfor you your religion and completed My favor on you andchosen for you Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelledby hunger, not inclining willfully to sin, then surely Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.
5/4 They ask you as to what is allowed to them. Say: The goodthings are allowed to you, and what you have taught the beastsand birds of prey, training them to hunt-- you teach them ofwhat Allah has taught you-- so eat of that which they catch foryou and mention the name of Allah over it; and be careful of(your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is swift in reckoning.
5/5 This day (all) the good things are allowed to you; and thefood of those who have been given the Book is lawful for youand your food is lawful for them; and the chaste from among thebelieving women and the chaste from among those who havebeen given the Book before you (are lawful for you); when youhave given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, notfornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and whoeverdenies faith, his work indeed is of no account, and in thehereafter he shall be one of the losers.
5/6 O you who believe! when you rise up to prayer, wash yourfaces and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe your headsand your feet to the ankles; and if you are under an obligation toperform a total ablution, then wash (yourselves) and if you aresick or on a journey, or one of you come from the privy, or youhave touched the women, and you cannot find water, betakeyourselves to pure earth and wipe your faces and your handstherewith, Allah does not desire to put on you any difficulty, butHe wishes to purify you and that He may complete His favor onyou, so that you may be grateful.
5/7 And remember the favor of Allah on you and His covenantwith which He bound you firmly, when you said: We have heardand we obey, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allahknows what is in the breasts.
5/8 O you who believe! Be upright for Allah, bearers of witnesswith justice, and let not hatred of a people incite you not to actequitably; act equitably, that is nearer to piety, and he careful of(your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Aware of what you do.
5/9 Allah has promised to those who believe and do gooddeeds (that) they shall have forgiveness and a mighty reward.
5/10 And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject our communications,these are the companions of the name.
5/11 O you who believe! remember Allah's favor on you whena people had determined to stretch forth their hands towardsyou, but He withheld their hands from you, and be careful of(your duty to) Allah; and on Allah let the believers rely.
5/12 And certainly Allah made a covenant with the children ofIsrael, and We raised up among them twelve chieftains; andAllah said: Surely I am with you; if you keep up prayer and paythe poor-rate and believe in My messengers and assist them andoffer to Allah a goodly gift, I will most certainly cover your evildeeds, and I will most certainly cause you to enter into gardensbeneath which rivers flow, but whoever disbelieves from amongyou after that, he indeed shall lose the right way.
5/13 But on account of their breaking their covenant We cursedthem and made their hearts hard; they altered the words fromtheir places and they neglected a portion of what they werereminded of; and you shall always discover treachery in themexcepting a few of them; so pardon them and turn away; surelyAllah loves those who do good (to others).
5/14 And with those who say, We are Christians, We made acovenant, but they neglected a portion of what they were remindedof, therefore We excited among them enmity and hatredto the day of resurrection; and Allah will inform them of whatthey did.
5/15 O followers of the Book! indeed Our Messenger has come toyou making clear to you much of what you concealed of theBook and passing over much; indeed, there has come to youlight and a clear Book from Allah;
5/16 With it Allah guides him who will follow His pleasure intothe ways of safety and brings them out of utter darkness intolight by His will and guides them to the right path.
5/17 Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah-- He isthe Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could controlanything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiahson of Marium and his mother and all those on the earth? AndAllah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what isbetween them; He creates what He pleases; and Allah has powerover all things,
5/18 And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons ofAllah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise youfor your faults? Nay, you are mortals from among those whomHe has created, He forgives whom He pleases and chastiseswhom He pleases; and Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens andthe earth and what is between them, and to Him is the eventualcoming.
5/19 O followers of the Book! indeed Our Messenger has come toyou explaining to you after a cessation of the (mission of the)messengers, lest you say: There came not to us a giver of good newsor a warner, so indeed there has come to you a giver of goodnews and a warner; and Allah has power over all things.
5/20 And when Musa said to his people: O my people! rememberthe favor of Allah upon you when He raised prophets amongyou and made you kings and gave you what He had not given toany other among the nations.
5/21 O my people! enter the holy land which Allah has prescribedfor you and turn not on your backs for then you will turnback losers.
5/22 They said: O Musa! surely there is a strong race in it, andwe will on no account enter it until they go out from it, so if theygo out from it, then surely we will enter.
5/23 Two men of those who feared, upon both of whom Allahhad bestowed a favor, said: Enter upon them by the gate, forwhen you have entered it you shall surely be victorious, and onAllah should you rely if you are believers.
5/24 They said: O Musa! we shall never enter it so long as theyare in it; go therefore you and your Lord, then fight you bothsurely we will here sit down.
5/25 He said: My Lord! Surely I have no control (upon any)but my own self and my brother; therefore make a separationbetween us and the nation of transgressors.
5/26 He said: So it shall surely be forbidden to them for fortyyears, they shall wander about in the land, therefore do notgrieve for the nation of transgressors.
5/27 And relate to them the story of the two sons of Adam withtruth when they both offered an offering, but it was acceptedfrom one of them and was not accepted from the other. He said: II will most certainly slay you. (The other) said: Allah onlyaccepts from those who guard (against evil).
5/28 If you will stretch forth your hand towards me to slay me,I am not one to stretch forth my hand towards you to slay yousurely I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds:
5/29 Surely I wish that you should bear the sin committedagainst me and your own sin, and so you would be of theinmates of the fire, and this is the recompense of the unjust.
5/30 Then his mind facilitated to him the slaying of his brotherso he slew him; then he became one of the losers
5/31 Then Allah sent a crow digging up the earth so that hemight show him how he should cover the dead body of hisbrother. He said: Woe me! do I lack the strength that I should belike this crow and cover the dead body of my brother? So hebecame of those who regret.
5/32 For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israelthat whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or formischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoeverkeeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainlyOur messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even afterthat many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.
5/33 The punishment of those who wage war against Allah andHis messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this,that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands andtheir feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should beimprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, andin the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement,
5/34 Except those who repent before you have them in yourpower; so know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
5/35 O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah andseek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way thatyou may be successful.
5/36 Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, even if they had whatis in the earth, all of it, and the like of it with it, that they mightransom themselves with it from the punishment of the day ofresurrection, it shall not be accepted from them, and they shallhave a painful punishment.
5/37 They would desire to go forth from the fire, and they shallnot go forth from it, and they shall have a lasting punishment.
5/38 And (as for) the man who steals and the woman whosteals, cut off their hands as a punishment for what they haveearned, an exemplary punishment from Allah; and Allah isMighty, Wise.
5/39 But whoever repents after his iniquity and reforms (himself),then surely Allah will turn to him (mercifully); surely Allahis Forgiving, Merciful.
5/40 Do you not know that Allah-- His is the kingdom of theheavens and the earth; He chastises whom He pleases; and forgiveswhom He pleases and Allah has power over all things.
5/41 O Messenger! let not those grieve you who strive together inhastening to unbelief from among those who say with theirmouths: We believe, and their hearts do not believe, and fromamong those who are Jews; they are listeners for the sake of a lie,listeners for another people who have not come to you; they alterthe words from their places, saying: If you are given this, take it,and if you are not given this, be cautious; and as for him whosetemptation Allah desires, you cannot control anything for himwith Allah. Those are they for whom Allah does not desire thatHe should purify their hearts; they shall have disgrace in thisworld, and they shall have a grievous chastisement in the hereafter.
5/42 (They are) listeners of a lie, devourers of what is forbidden;therefore if they come to you, judge between them orturn aside from them, and if you turn aside from them, they shallnot harm you in any way; and if you judge, judge between themwith equity; surely Allah loves those who judge equitably.
5/43 And how do they make you a judge and they have theTaurat wherein is Allah's judgment? Yet they turn back afterthat, and these are not the believers.
5/44 Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance andlight; with it the prophets who submitted themselves (to Allah)judged (matters) for those who were Jews, and the masters ofDivine knowledge and the doctors, because they were requiredto guard (part) of the Book of Allah, and they were witnessesthereof; therefore fear not the people and fear Me, and do nottake a small price for My communications; and whoever did notjudge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers.
5/45 And We prescribed to them in it that life is for life, andeye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth fortooth, and (that there is) reprisal in wounds; but he who foregoesit, it shall be an expiation for him; and whoever did not judge bywhat Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust.
5/46 And We sent after them in their footsteps Isa, son ofMarium, verifying what was before him of the Taurat and Wegave him the Injeel in which was guidance and light, and verifyingwhat was before it of Taurat and a guidance and an admonitionfor those who guard (against evil).
5/47 And the followers of the Injeel should have judged bywhat Allah revealed in it; and whoever did not judge by whatAllah revealed, those are they that are the transgressors.
5/48 And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth,verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it,therefore judge between them by what Allah has revealed, anddo not follow their low desires (to turn away) from the truththat has come to you; for every one of you did We appoint a lawand a way, and if Allah had pleased He would have made you(all) a single people, but that He might try you in what He gaveyou, therefore strive with one another to hasten to virtuousdeeds; to Allah is your return, of all (of you), so He will let youknow that in which you differed;
5/49 And that you should judge between them by what Allahhas revealed, and do not follow their low desires, and be cautiousof them, lest they seduce you from part of what Allah hasrevealed to you; but if they turn back, then know that Allahdesires to afflict them on account of some of their faults; andmost surely many of the people are transgressors.
5/50 Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance thatthey desire? And who is better than Allah to judge for a peoplewho are sure?
5/51 O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christiansfor friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongstyou takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surelyAllah does not guide the unjust people.
5/52 But you will see those in whose hearts is a disease hasteningtowards them, saying: We fear lest a calamity should befallus; but it may be that Allah will bring the victory or a punishment from Himself, so that they shall be regretting on account ofwhat they hid in their souls.
5/53 And those who believe will say: Are these they who sworeby Allah with the most forcible of their oaths that they weremost surely with you? Their deeds shall go for nothing, so theyshall become losers.
5/54 O you who believe! whoever from among you turns backfrom his religion, then Allah will bring a people, He shall lovethem and they shall love Him, lowly before the believers, mightyagainst the unbelievers, they shall strive hard in Allah's way andshall not fear the censure of any censurer; this is Allah's Face,He gives it to whom He pleases, and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
5/55 Only Allah is your Vali and His Messenger and those whobelieve, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate whilethey bow.
5/56 And whoever takes Allah and His messenger and those whobelieve for a guardian, then surely the party of Allah are theythat shall be triumphant.
5/57 O you who believe! do not take for guardians those whotake your religion for a mockery and a joke, from among thosewho were given the Book before you and the unbelievers; and becareful of (your duty to) Allah if you are believers.
5/58 And when you call to prayer they make it a mockery and ajoke; this is because they are a people who do not understand.
5/59 Say: O followers of the Book! do you find fault with us(for aught) except that we believe in Allah and in what has beenrevealed to us and what was revealed before, and that most ofyou are transgressors?
5/60 Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this inretribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursedand brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes andswine, and he who served the Shaitan; these are worse in placeand more erring from the straight path.
5/61 And when they come to you, they say: We believe; andindeed they come in with unbelief and indeed they go forth withit; and Allah knows best what they concealed.
5/62 And you will see many of them striving with one anotherto hasten in sin and exceeding the limits, and their eating of whatis unlawfully acquired; certainly evil is that which they do.
5/63 Why do not the learned men and the doctors of lawprohibit them from their speaking of what is sinful and theireating of what is unlawfully acquired? Certainly evil is thatwhich they work.
5/64 And the Jews say: The hand of Allah is tied up! Theirhands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed for what theysay. Nay, both His hands are spread out, He expends as Hepleases; and what has been revealed to you from your Lord willcertainly make many of them increase in inordinacy and unbelief;and We have put enmity and hatred among them till the day ofresurrection; whenever they kindle a fire for war Allah puts itout, and they strive to make mischief in the land; and Allah doesnot love the mischief-makers.
5/65 And if the followers of the Book had believed and guarded(against evil) We would certainly have covered their evil deedsand We would certainly have made them enter gardens of bliss
5/66 And if they had kept up the Taurat and the Injeel and thatwhich was revealed to them from their Lord, they would certainlyhave eaten from above them and from beneath their feetthere is a party of them keeping to the moderate course, and (asfor) most of them, evil is that which they do
5/67 O Messenger! deliver what bas been revealed to you fromyour Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered Hismessage, and Allah will protect you from the people; surelyAllah will not guide the unbelieving people.
5/68 Say: O followers of the Book! you follow no good till youkeep up the Taurat and the Injeel and that which is revealed toyou from your Lord; and surely that which has been revealed toyou from your Lord shall make many of them increase ininordinacy and unbelief; grieve not therefore for the unbelievingpeople.
5/69 Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and theSabians and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and thelast day and does good-- they shall have no fear nor shall theygrieve.
5/70 Certainly We made a covenant with the children of Israeland We sent to them messengers; whenever there came to them anmessenger with what that their souls did not desire, some (of them)did they call liars and some they slew.
5/71 And they thought that there would be no affliction, sothey became blind and deaf; then Allah turned to them mercifully,but many of them became blind and deaf; and Allah is wellseeing what they do.
5/72 Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is theMessiah, son of Marium; and the Messiah said: O Children ofIsrael! serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Surely whoeverassociates (others) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden to himthe garden, and his abode is the fire; and there shall be nohelpers for the unjust.
5/73 Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is thethird (person) of the three; and there is no god but the one Allah,and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisementshall befall those among them who disbelieve.
5/74 Will they not then turn to Allah and ask His forgiveness?And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
5/75 The Messiah, son of Marium is but a messenger; messengersbefore him have indeed passed away; and his mother was atruthful woman; they both used to eat food. See how We makethe communications clear to them, then behold, how they areturned away.
5/76 Say: Do you serve besides Allah that which does notcontrol for you any harm, or any profit? And Allah-- He is theHearing, the Knowing.
5/77 Say: O followers of the Book! be not unduly immoderatein your religion, and do not follow the low desires of people whowent astray before and led many astray and went astray from theright path.
5/78 Those who disbelieved from among the children of Israelwere cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa, son of Marium;this was because they disobeyed and used to exceed the limit.
5/79 They used not to forbid each other the hateful things(which) they did; certainly evil was that which they did.
5/80 You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve;certainly evil is that which their souls have sent beforefor them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisementshall they abide.
5/81 And had they believed in Allah and the prophet and whatwas revealed to him, they would not have taken them for friendsbut! most of them are transgressors.
5/82 Certainly you will find the most violent of people inenmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who arepolytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendshipto those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians;this is because there are priests and monks among them andbecause they do not behave proudly.
5/83 And when they hear what has been revealed to the messengeryou will see their eyes overflowing with tears on account of thetruth that they recognize; they say: Our Lord! we believe, sowrite us down with the witnesses (of truth).
5/84 And what (reason) have we that we should not believe inAllah and in the truth that has come to us, while we earnestlydesire that our Lord should cause us to enter with the goodpeople?
5/85 Therefore Allah rewarded them on account of what theysaid, with gardens in which rivers flow to abide in them; and thisis the reward of those who do good (to others).
5/86 And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our communications,these are the companions of the flame.
5/87 O you who believe! do not forbid (yourselves) the goodthings which Allah has made lawful for you and do not exceedthe limits; surely Allah does not love those who exceed thelimits.
5/88 And eat of the lawful and good (things) that Allah hasgiven you, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, in Whom youbelieve.
5/89 Allah does not call you to account for what is vain in youroaths, but He calls you to account for the making of deliberateoaths; so its expiation is the feeding of ten poor men out of themiddling (food) you feed your families with, or their clothing, orthe freeing of a neck; but whosoever cannot find (means) thenfasting for three days; this is the expiation of your oaths whenyou swear; and guard your oaths. Thus does Allah make clear toyou His communications, that you may be Fateful.
5/90 O you who believe! intoxicants and games of chance and(sacrificing to) stones set up and (dividing by) arrows are only anuncleanness, the Shaitan's work; shun it therefore that you maybe successful.
5/91 The Shaitan only desires to cause enmity and hatred tospring in your midst by means of intoxicants and games ofchance, and to keep you off from the remembrance of Allah andfrom prayer. Will you then desist?
5/92 And obey Allah and obey the messenger and be cautious; butif you turn back, then know that only a clear deliverance of themessage is (incumbent) on Our messenger.
5/93 On those who believe and do good there is no blame forwhat they eat, when they are careful (of their duty) and believeand do good deeds, then they are careful (of their duty) andbelieve, then they are careful (of their duty) and do good (toothers), and Allah loves those who do good (to others).
5/94 O you who believe! Allah will certainly try you in respectof some game which your hands and your lances can reach, thatAllah might know who fears Him in secret; but whoever exceedsthe limit after this, he shall have a painful punishment.
5/95 O you who believe! do not kill game while you are onpilgrimage, and whoever among you shall kill it intentionally,the compensation (of it) is the like of what he killed, from thecattle, as two just persons among you shall judge, as an offeringto be brought to the Kaaba or the expiation (of it) is the feedingof the poor or the equivalent of it in fasting, that he may taste theunwholesome result of his deed; Allah has pardoned what isgone by; and whoever returns (to it), Allah will inflict retributionon him; and Allah is Mighty, Lord of Retribution.
5/96 Lawful to you is the game of the sea and its food, aprovision for you and for the travellers, and the game of the landis forbidden to you so long as you are on pilgrimage, and becareful of (your duty to) Allah, to Whom you shall be gathered.
5/97 Allah has made the Kaaba, the sacred house, a maintenancefor the people, and the sacred month and the offerings andthe sacrificial animals with garlands; this is that you may knowthat Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is inthe earth, and that Allah is the Knower of all things.
5/98 Know that Allah is severe in requiting (evil) and thatAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
5/99 Nothing is (incumbent) on the Messenger but to deliver (themessage), and Allah knows what you do openly and what youhide.
5/100 Say: The bad and the good are not equal, though theabundance of the bad may please you; so be careful of (yourduty to) Allah, O men of understanding, that you may besuccessful.
5/101 O you who believe! do not put questions about thingswhich if declared to you may trouble you, and if you questionabout them when the Quran is being revealed, they shall bedeclared to you; Allah pardons this, and Allah is Forgiving,Forbearing.
5/102 A people before you indeed asked such questions, andthen became disbelievers on account of them.
5/103 Allah has not ordained (the making of) a bahirah or asaibah or a wasilah or a hami but those who disbelieve fabricatea lie against Allah, and most of them do not understand.
5/104 And when it is said to them, Come to what Allah hasrevealed and to the Messenger, they say: That on which we foundour fathers is sufficient for us. What! even though their fathersknew nothing and did not follow the right way.
5/105 O you who believe! take care of your souls; he who errscannot hurt you when you are on the right way; to Allah is yourreturn, of all (of you), so He will inform you of what you did.
5/106 O you who believe! call to witness between you whendeath draws nigh to one of you, at the time of making the will,two just persons from among you, or two others from amongothers than you, if you are travelling in the land and the calamityof death befalls you; the two (witnesses) you should detain afterthe prayer; then if you doubt (them), they shall both swear byAllah, (saying): We will not take for it a price, though there be arelative, and we will not hide the testimony of Allah for thencertainly we should be among the sinners.
5/107 Then if it becomes known that they both have beenguilty of a sin, two others shall stand up in their place fromamong those who have a claim against them, the two nearest inkin; so they two should swear by Allah: Certainly our testimonyis truer than the testimony of those two, and we have notexceeded the limit, for then most surely we should be of theunjust.
5/108 This is more proper in order that they should give testimonytruly or fear that other oaths be given after their oaths;and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, and hear; and Allah doesnot guide the transgressing people.
5/109 On the day when Allah will assemble the messengers, thensay: What answer were you given? They shall say: We have noknowledge, surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseenthings.
5/110 When Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! RememberMy favor on you and on your mother, when I strengthened you Iwith the holy Spirit, you spoke to the people in the cradle and Iwhen of old age, and when I taught you the Book and thewisdom and the Taurat and the Injeel; and when you determinedout of clay a thing like the form of a bird by My permission, thenyou breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission, andyou healed the blind and the leprous by My permission; andwhen you brought forth the dead by My permission; and when Iwithheld the children of Israel from you when you came to themwith clear arguments, but those who disbelieved among themsaid: This is nothing but clear enchantment.
5/111 And when I revealed to the disciples, saying, Believe inMe and My messenger, they said: We believe and bear witness thatwe submit (ourselves).
5/112 When the disciples said: O Isa son of Marium! will yourLord consent to send down to us food from heaven? He said: Becareful of (your duty to) Allah if you are believers.
5/113 They said: We desire that we should eat of it and that ourhearts should be at rest, and that we may know that you haveindeed spoken the truth to us and that we may be of the witnessesto it.
5/114 Isa the son of Marium said: O Allah, our Lord! send idown to us food from heaven which should be to us an ever-recurringhappiness, to the first of us and to the last of us, and asign from Thee, and grant us means of subsistence, and Thou artthe best of the Providers.
5/115 Allah said: Surely I will send it down to you, but whoevershall disbelieve afterwards from among you, surely I willchastise him with a chastisement with which I will not chastise,anyone among the nations.
5/116 And when Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! did yousay to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allahhe will say: Glory be to Thee, it did not befit me that I should saywhat I had no right to (say); if I had said it, Thou wouldst indeedhave known it; Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I do notknow what is in Thy mind, surely Thou art the great Knower ofthe unseen things.
5/117 I did not say to them aught save what Thou didst enjoinme with: That serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord, and I was awitness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thoudidst cause me to die, Thou wert the watcher over them, andThou art witness of all things.
5/118 If Thou shouldst chastise them, then surely they are Thyservants; and if Thou shouldst forgive them, then surely Thouart the Mighty, the Wise.
5/119 Allah will say: This is the day when their truth shallbenefit the truthful ones; they shall have gardens beneath whichrivers flow to abide in them for ever: Allah is well pleased withthem and they are well pleased with Allah; this is the mightyachievement.
5/120 Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth andwhat is in them; and He has power over all things.
6/1 All praise is due to Allah, Who created the heavens and theearth and made the darkness and the light; yet those who disbelieveset up equals with their Lord.
6/2 He it is Who created you from clay, then He decreed aterm; and there is a term named with Him; still you doubt.
6/3 And He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth; He knowsyour secret (thoughts) and your open (words), and He knowswhat you earn.
6/4 And there does not come to them any communication ofthe communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it
6/5 So they have indeed rejected the truth when it came tothem; therefore the truth of what they mocked at will shine uponthem.
6/6 Do they not consider how many a generation We havedestroyed before them, whom We had established in the earth asWe have not established you, and We sent the clouds pouringrain on them in abundance, and We made the rivers to flowbeneath them, then We destroyed them on account of their faultsand raised up after them another generation.
6/7 And if We had sent to you a writing on a paper, then theyhad touched it with their hands, certainly those who disbelievewould have said: This is nothing but clear enchantment.
6/8 And they say: Why has not an angel been sent down tohim? And had We sent down an angel, the matter would havecertainly been decided and then they would not have beenrespited.
6/9 And if We had made him angel, We would certainly havemade him a man, and We would certainly have made confusedto them what they make confused.
6/10 And certainly messengers before you were mocked at, butthat which they mocked at encompassed the scoffers amongthem.
6/11 Say: Travel in the land, then see what was the end of therejecters.
6/12 Say: To whom belongs what is in the heavens and theearth? Say: To Allah; He has ordained mercy on Himself; mostcertainly He will gather you on the resurrection day-- there is nodoubt about it. (As for) those who have lost their souls, they willnot believe.
6/13 And to Him belongs whatever dwells in the night and theday; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
6/14 Say: Shall I take a guardian besides Allah, the Originatorof the heavens and the earth, and He feeds (others) and is not(Himself) fed. Say: I am commanded to be the first who submitshimself, and you should not be of the polytheists.
6/15 Say: Surely I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisementof a grievous day.
6/16 He from whom it is averted on that day, Allah indeed hasshown mercy to him; and this is a manifest achievement.
6/17 And if Allah touch you with affliction, there is none totake it off but He; and if He visit you with good, then He haspower over all things.
6/18 And He is the Supreme, above His servants; and He is theWise, the Aware.
6/19 Say: What thing is the weightiest in testimony? Say: Allahis witness between you and me; and this Quran has been revealedto me that with it I may warn you and whomsoever it reaches.Do you really bear witness that there are other gods with Allah?Say: I do not bear witness. Say: He is only one Allah, and surely Iam clear of that which you set up (with Him).
6/20 Those whom We have given the Book recognize him asthey recognize their sons; (as for) those who have lost their souls,they will not believe.
6/21 And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie againstAllah or (he who) gives the lie to His communications; surely theunjust will not be successful.
6/22 And on the day when We shall gather them all together,then shall We say to those who associated others (with Allah):Where are your associates whom you asserted?
6/23 Then their excuse would be nothing but that they wouldsay: By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists.
6/24 See how they lie against their own souls, and that whichthey forged has passed away from them.
6/25 And of them is he who hearkens to you, and We have castveils over their hearts lest they understand it and a heaviness intotheir ears; and even if they see every sign they will not believe init; so much so that when they come to you they only dispute withyou; those who disbelieve say: This is naught but the stories ofthe ancients.
6/26 And they prohibit (others) from it and go far away fromit, and they only bring destruction upon their own souls whilethey do not perceive.
6/27 And could you see when they are made to stand before thefire, then they shall say: Would that we were sent back, and wewould not reject the communications of our Lord and we wouldbe of the believers.
6/28 Nay, what they concealed before shall become manifest tothem; and if they were sent back, they would certainly go back tothat which they are forbidden, and most surely they are liars.
6/29 And they say: There is nothing but our life of this world,and we shall not be raised.
6/30 And could you see when they are made to stand beforetheir Lord. He will say: Is not this the truth? They will say: Yea!by our Lord. He will say: Taste then the chastisement becauseyou disbelieved.
6/31 They are losers indeed who reject the meeting of Allah;until when the hour comes upon them all of a sudden they shallsay: O our grief for our neglecting it! and they shall bear theirburdens on their backs; now surely evil is that which they bear.
6/32 And this world's life is naught but a play and an idle sportand certainly the abode of the hereafter is better for those whoguard (against evil); do you not then understand?
6/33 We know indeed that what they say certainly grieves you,but surely they do not call you a liar; but the unjust deny thecommunications of Allah.
6/34 And certainly messengers before you were rejected, but theywere patient on being rejected and persecuted until Our helpcame to them; and there is none to change the words of Allah,and certainly there has come to you some information about themessengers.
6/35 And if their turning away is hard on you, then if you canseek an opening (to go down) into the earth or a ladder (toascend up) to heaven so that you should bring them a sign and ifAllah had pleased He would certainly have gathered them all onguidance, therefore be not of the ignorant.
6/36 Only those accept who listen; and (as to) the dead, Allahwill raise them, then to Him they shall be returned.
6/37 And they say: Why has not a sign been sent down to himfrom his Lord? Say: Surely Allah is able to send down a sign, butmost of them do not know.
6/38 And there is no animal that walks upon the earth nor abird that flies with its two wings but (they are) genera likeyourselves; We have not neglected anything in the Book, then totheir Lord shall they be gathered.
6/39 And they who reject Our communications are deaf anddumb, in utter darkness; whom Allah pleases He causes to errand whom He pleases He puts on the right way.
6/40 Say: Tell me if the chastisement of Allah should overtakeyou or the hour should come upon you, will you call (on others)besides Allah, if you are truthful?
6/41 Nay, Him you call upon, so He clears away that for whichyou pray if He pleases and you forget what you set up (withHim).
6/42 And certainly We sent (messengers) to nations before youthen We seized them with distress and affliction in order thatthey might humble themselves.
6/43 Yet why did they not, when Our punishment came tothem, humble themselves? But their hearts hardened and theShaitan made what they did fair-seeming to them.
6/44 But when they neglected that with which they had beenadmonished, We opened for them the doors of all things, untilwhen they rejoiced in what they were given We seized themsuddenly; then lo! they were in utter despair.
6/45 So the roots of the people who were unjust were cut off;and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
6/46 Say: Have you considered that if Allah takes away yourhearing and your sight and sets a seal on your hearts, who is thegod besides Allah that can bring it to you? See how We repeatthe communications, yet they turn away.
6/47 Say: Have you considered if the chastisement of Allahshould overtake you suddenly or openly, will any be destroyedbut the unjust people?
6/48 And We send not messengers but as announcers of goodnews and givers of warning, then whoever believes and actsaright, they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
6/49 And (as for) those who reject Our communications, chastisementshall afflict them because they transgressed.
6/50 Say: I do not say to you, I have with me the treasures ofAllah, nor do I know the unseen, nor do I say to you that I aman angel; I do not follow aught save that which is revealed to me.Say: Are the blind and the seeing one alike? Do you not then reflect?
6/51 And warn with it those who fear that they shall be gatheredto their Lord-- there is no guardian for them, nor any intercessorbesides Him-- that they may guard (against evil).
6/52 And do not drive away those who call upon their Lord inthe morning and the evening, they desire only His favor; neitherare you answerable for any reckoning of theirs, nor are theyanswerable for any reckoning of yours, so that you should drivethem away and thus be of the unjust.
6/53 And thus do We try some of them by others so that theysay: Are these they upon whom Allah has conferred benefit fromamong us? Does not Allah best know the grateful?
6/54 And when those who believe in Our communicationscome to you, say: Peace be on you, your Lord has ordainedmercy on Himself, (so) that if any one of you does evil inignorance, then turns after that and acts aright, then He isForgiving, Merciful.
6/55 And thus do We make distinct the communications andso that the way of the guilty may become clear.
6/56 Say: I am forbidden to serve those whom you call uponbesides Allah. Say: I do not follow your low desires. forthen indeed I should have gone astray and I should not be of thosewho go aright.
6/57 Say: Surely I have manifest proof from my Lord and youcall it a lie; I have not with me that which you would hasten; thet judgment is only Allah's; He relates the truth and He is the bestof deciders.
6/58 Say: If that which you desire to hasten were with me, thematter would have certainly been decided between you and me;and Allah best knows the unjust.
6/59 And with Him are the keys of the unseen treasures-- noneknows them but He; and He knows what is in the land and thesea, and there falls not a leaf but He knows it, nor a grain in thedarkness of the earth, nor anything green nor dry but (it is all) ina clear book.
6/60 And He it is Who takes your souls at night (in sleep), andHe knows what you acquire in the day, then He raises you uptherein that an appointed term may be fulfilled; then to Him isyour return, then He will inform you of what you were doing.
6/61 And He is the Supreme, above His servants, and He sendskeepers over you; until when death comes to one of you, Ourmessengers cause him to die, and they are not remiss.
6/62 Then are they sent back to Allah, their Master, the Trueone; now surely His is the judgment and He is swiftest in takingaccount.
6/63 Say: Who is it that delivers you from the dangers of theland and the sea (when) you call upon Him (openly) humiliatingyourselves, and in secret: If He delivers us from this, we shouldcertainly be of the grateful ones.
6/64 Say: Allah delivers you from them and from every distress,but again you set up others (with Him).
6/65 Say: He has the power that He should send on you achastisement from above you or from beneath your feet, or thatHe should throw you into confusion, (making you) of differentparties; and make some of you taste the fighting of others. Seehow We repeat the communications that they mayunderstand.
6/66 And your people call it a lie and it is the very truth. Say:I am not placed in charge of you.
6/67 For every prophecy is a term, and you will come to know(it).
6/68 And when you see those who enter into false discoursesabout Our communications, withdraw from them until theyenter into some other discourse, and if the Shaitan causes you toforget, then do not sit after recollection with the unjustpeople.
6/69 And nought of the reckoning of their (deeds) shall beagainst those who guard (against evil), but (theirs) is only toremind, haply they may guard.
6/70 And leave those who have taken their religion for a playand an idle sport, and whom this world's life has deceived, andremind (them) thereby lest a soul should be given up to destructionfor what it has earned; it shall not have besides Allah anyguardian nor an intercessor, and if it should seek to give everycompensation, it shall not be accepted from it; these are theywho shall be given up to destruction for what they earned; theyshall have a drink of boiling water and a painful chastisementbecause they disbelieved.
6/71 Say: Shall we call on that besides Allah, which does notbenefit us nor harm us, and shall we be returned back on ourheels after Allah has guided us, like him whom the Shaitans havemade to fall down perplexed in the earth? He has companionswho call him to the right way, (saying): Come to us. Say: Surelythe guidance of Allah, that is the (true) guidance, and we arecommanded that we should submit to the Lord of the worlds.
6/72 And that you should keep up prayer and be careful of(your duty to) Him; and He it is to Whom you shall be gathered.
6/73 And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earthwith truth, and on the day He says: Be, it is. His word is thetruth, and His is the kingdom on the day when the trumpet shallbe blown; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; and He is theWise, the Aware.
6/74 And when Ibrahim said to his sire, Azar: Do you takeidols for gods? Surely I see you and your people in manifesterror.
6/75 And thus did We show Ibrahim the kingdom of the heavensand the earth and that he might be of those who are sure.
6/76 So when the night over-shadowed him, he saw a star; saidhe: Is this my Lord? So when it set, he said: I do not love thesetting ones.
6/77 Then when he saw the moon rising, he said: Is this myLord? So when it set, he said: If my Lord had not guided me Ishould certainly be of the erring people.
6/78 Then when he saw the sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord?Is this the greatest? So when it set, he said: O my people! surely Iam clear of what you set up (with Allah).
6/79 Surely I have turned myself, being upright, wholly to HimWho originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not of thepolytheists.
6/80 And his people disputed with him. He said: Do youdispute with me respecting Allah? And He has guided me indeed;and I do not fear in any way those that you set up with Him,unless my Lord pleases; my Lord comprehends all things in Hisknowledge; will you not then mind?
6/81 And how should I fear what you have set up (with Him),while you do not fear that you have set up with Allah that forwhich He has not sent down to you any authority; which then ofthe two parties is surer of security, if you know?
6/82 Those who believe and do not mix up their faith withiniquity, those are they who shall have the security and they arethose who go aright.
6/83 And this was Our argument which we gave to Ibrahimagainst his people; We exalt in dignity whom We please; surelyyour Lord is Wise, Knowing.
6/84 And We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub; each did Weguide, and Nuh did We guide before, and of his descendants,Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Haroun; andthus do We reward those who do good (to others).
6/85 And Zakariya and Yahya and Isa and Ilyas; every one wasof the good;
6/86 And Ismail and Al-Yasha and Yunus and Lut; and everyone We made to excel (in) the worlds:
6/87 And from among their fathers and their descendants andtheir brethren, and We chose them and guided them into theright way.
6/88 This is Allah's guidance, He guides thereby whom Hepleases of His servants; and if they had set up others (with Him),certainly what they did would have become ineffectual for them.
6/89 These are they to whom We gave the book and the wisdomand the prophecy; therefore if these disbelieve in it We havealready entrusted with it a people who are not disbelievers init.
6/90 These are they whom Allah guided, therefore follow theirguidance. Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it; it isnothing but a reminder to the nations.
6/91 And they do not assign to Allah the attributes due to Himwhen they say: Allah has not revealed anything to a mortal. Say:Who revealed the Book which Musa brought, a light and aguidance to men, which you make into scattered writings whichyou show while you conceal much? And you were taught whatyou did not know, (neither) you nor your fathers. Say: Allahthen leave them sporting in their vain discourses.
6/92 And this is a Book We have revealed, blessed, verifyingthat which is before it, and that you may warn the metropolisand those around her; and those who believe in the hereafterbelieve in it, and they attend to their prayers constantly.
6/93 And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie againstAllah, or says: It has been revealed to me; while nothing hasbeen revealed to him, and he who says: I can reveal the like ofwhat Allah has revealed? and if you had seen when the unjustshall be in the agonies of death and the angels shall spread forththeir hands: Give up your souls; today shall you be recompensedwith an ignominious chastisement because you spoke againstAllah other than the truth and (because) you showed prideagainst His communications.
6/94 And certainly you have come to Us alone as We createdyou at first, and you have left behind your backs the thingswhich We gave you, and We do not see with you your intercessorsabout whom you asserted that they were (Allah's) associatesin respect to you; certainly the ties between you are nowcut off and what you asserted is gone from you.
6/95 Surely Allah causes the grain and the stone to germinate;He brings forth the living from the dead and He is the bringerforth of the dead from the living; that is Allah! how are you thenturned away.
6/96 He causes the dawn to break; and He has made the nightfor rest, and the sun and the moon for reckoning; this is anarrangement of the Mighty, the Knowing.
6/97 And He it is Who has made the stars for you that youmight follow the right way thereby in the darkness of the landand the sea; truly We have made plain the communications for apeople who know.
6/98 And He it is Who has brought you into being from asingle soul, then there is (for you) a resting-place and a depository;indeed We have made plain the communications for apeople who understand.
6/99 And He it is Who sends down water from the cloud, thenWe bring forth with it buds of all (plants), then We bring forthfrom it green (foliage) from which We produce grain piled up (inthe ear); and of the palm-tree, of the sheaths of it, come forthclusters (of dates) within reach, and gardens of grapes and olivesand pomegranates, alike and unlike; behold the fruit of it when ityields the fruit and the ripening of it; most surely there are signsin this for a people who believe.
6/100 And they make the jinn associates with Allah, while Hecreated them, and they falsely attribute to Him sons and daughterswithout knowledge; glory be to Him, and highly exalted is Heabove what they ascribe (to Him).
6/101 Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth! Howcould He have a son when He has no consort, and He (Himself)created everything, and He is the Knower of all things.
6/102 That is Allah, your Lord, there is no god but He; theCreator of all things, therefore serve Him, and He has charge ofall things.
6/103 Vision comprehends Him not, and He comprehends (all)vision; and He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.
6/104 Indeed there have come to you clear proofs from yourLord; whoever will therefore see, it is for his own soul andwhoever will be blind, it shall be against himself and I am not akeeper over you.
6/105 And thus do We repeat the communications and thatthey may say: You have read; and that We may make it clear to apeople who know.
6/106 Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord; there isno god but He; and withdraw from the polytheists.
6/107 And if Allah had pleased, they would not have set upothers (with Him) and We have not appointed you a keeper overthem, and you are not placed in charge of them.
6/108 And do not abuse those whom they call upon besidesAllah, lest exceeding the limits they should abuse Allah out ofignorance. Thus have We made fair seeming to every peopletheir deeds; then to their Lord shall be their return, so He willinform them of what they did.
6/109 And they swear by Allah with the strongest of theiroaths, that if a sign came to them they would most certainlybelieve in it. Say: Signs are only with Allah; and what shouldmake you know that when it comes they will not believe?
6/110 And We will turn their hearts and their sights, even asthey did not believe in it the first time, and We will leave them intheir inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
6/111 And even if We had sent down to them the angels andthe dead had spoken to them and We had brought together allthings before them, they would not believe unless Allah pleases,but most of them are ignorant.
6/112 And thus did We make for every prophet an enemy, theShaitans from among men and jinn, some of them suggesting toothers varnished falsehood to deceive (them), and had your Lordpleased they would not have done it, therefore leave them andthat which they forge.
6/113 And that the hearts of those who do not believe in thehereafter may incline to it and that they may be well pleased withit and that they may earn what they are going to earn (of evil).
6/114 Shall I then seek a judge other than Allah? And He it isWho has revealed to you the Book (which is) made plain; andthose whom We have given the Book know that it is revealed byyour Lord with truth, therefore you should not be of the disputers.
6/115 And the word of your Lord has been accomplished trulyand justly; there is none who can change His words, and He isthe Hearing, the Knowing.
6/116 And if you obey most of those in the earth, they will leadyou astray from Allah's way; they follow but conjecture and theyonly lie.
6/117 Surely your Lord-- He best knows who goes astray fromHis way, and He best knows those who follow the right course.
6/118 Therefore eat of that on which Allah's name has beenmentioned if you are believers in His communications.
6/119 And what reason have you that you should not eat ofthat on which Allah's name has been mentioned, and He hasalready made plain to you what He has forbidden to you--excepting what you are compelled to; and most surely manywould lead (people) astray by their low desires out of ignorance;surely your Lord-- He best knows those who exceed the limits.
6/120 And abandon open and secret sin; surely they who earnsin shall be recompensed with what they earned.
6/121 And do not eat of that on which Allah's name has notbeen mentioned, and that is most surely a transgression; andmost surely the Shaitans suggest to their friends that they shouldcontend with you; and if you obey them, you shall most surely bepolytheists.
6/122 Is he who was dead then We raised him to life and madefor him a light by which he walks among the people, like himwhose likeness is that of one in utter darkness whence he cannotcome forth? Thus what they did was made fair seeming to theunbelievers.
6/123 And thus have We made in every town the great ones tobe its guilty ones, that they may plan therein; and they do notplan but against their own souls, and they do not perceive.
6/124 And when a communication comes to them they say: Wewill not believe till we are given the like of what Allah's messengersare given. Allah best knows where He places His message. Thereshall befall those who are guilty humiliation from Allah andsevere chastisement because of what they planned.
6/125 Therefore (for) whomsoever Allah intends that He wouldguide him aright, He expands his breast for Islam, and (for)whomsoever He intends that He should cause him to err, Hemakes his breast strait and narrow as though he were ascendingupwards; thus does Allah lay uncleanness on those who do notbelieve.
6/126 And this is the path of your Lord, (a) right (path); indeedWe have made the communications clear for a people who mind.
6/127 They shall have the abode of peace with their Lord, andHe is their guardian because of what they did.
6/128 And on the day when He shall gather them all together:O assembly of jinn! you took away a great part of mankind.And their friends from among the men shall say: Our Lord!some of us profited by others and we have reached our appointedterm which Thou didst appoint for us. He shall say: The fire isyour abode, to abide in it, except as Allah is pleased; surely yourLord is Wise, Knowing.
6/129 And thus do We make some of the iniquitous to befriendothers on account of what they earned.
6/130 O assembly of jinn and men! did there not come to youmessengers from among you, relating to you My communicationsand warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shallsay: We bear witness against ourselves; and this world's lifedeceived them, and they shall bear witness against their ownsouls that they were unbelievers.
6/131 This is because your Lord would not destroy townsunjustly while their people were negligent.
6/132 And all have degrees according to what they do; andyour Lord is not heedless of what they do.
6/133 And your Lord is the Self-sufficient one, the Lord ofmercy; if He pleases, He may take you off, and make whom Hepleases successors after you, even as He raised you up from theseed of another people.
6/134 Surely what you are threatened with must come to passand you cannot escape (it).
6/135 Say: O my people! act according to your ability; I too amacting; so you will soon come to know, for whom (of us) will bethe (good) end of the abode; surely the unjust shall not besuccessful.
6/136 And they set apart a portion for Allah out of what Hehas created of tilth and cattle, and say: This is for Allah-- so theyassert-- and this for our associates; then what is for their associates,it reaches not to Allah, and whatever is (set apart) forAllah, it reaches to their associates; evil is that which theyjudge.
6/137 And thus their associates have made fair seeming to mostof the polytheists the killing of their children, that they maycause them to perish and obscure for them their religion; and ifAllah had pleased, they would not have done it, therefore leavethem and that which they forge.
6/138 And they say: These are cattle and tilth prohibited, noneshall eat them except such as We please-- so they assert-- andcattle whose backs are forbidden, and cattle on which theywould not mention Allah's name-- forging a lie against Him; Heshall requite them for what they forged.
6/139 And they say: What is in the wombs of these cattle isspecially for our males, and forbidden to our wives, and if it bestillborn, then they are all partners in it; He will reward themfor their attributing (falsehood to Allah); surely He is Wise,Knowing.
6/140 They are lost indeed who kill their children foolishlywithout knowledge, and forbid what Allah has given to themforging a lie against Allah; they have indeed gone astray, andthey are not the followers of the right course.
6/141 And He it is Who produces gardens (of vine), trellisedand untrellised, and palms and seed-produce of which the fruitsare of various sorts, and olives and pomegranates, like andunlike; eat of its fruit when it bears fruit, and pay the due of it onthe day of its reaping, and do not act extravagantly; surely Hedoes not love the extravagant.
6/142 And of cattle (He created) beasts of burden and thosewhich are fit for slaughter only; eat of what Allah has given youand do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan; surely he is youropen enemy.
6/143 Eight in pairs-- two of sheep and two of goats. Say: HasHe forbidden the two males or the two females or that which thewombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge ifyou are truthful.
6/144 And two of camels and two of cows. Say: Has Heforbidden the two males or the two females or that which thewombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses whenAllah enjoined you this? Who, then, is more unjust than he whoforges a lie against Allah that he should lead astray men withoutknowledge? Surely Allah does not guide the unjustpeople.
6/145 Say: I do not find in that which has been revealed to meanything forbidden for an eater to eat of except that it be whathas died of itself, or blood poured forth, or flesh of swine-- forthat surely is unclean-- or that which is a transgression, otherthan (the name of) Allah having been invoked on it; but whoeveris driven to necessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limit, thensurely your Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.
6/146 And to those who were Jews We made unlawful everyanimal having claws, and of oxen and sheep We made unlawfulto them the fat of both, except such as was on their backs or theentrails or what was mixed with bones: this was a punishmentWe gave them on account of their rebellion, and We are surelyTruthful.
6/147 But if they give you the lie, then say: Your Lord is theLord of All-encompassing mercy; and His punishment cannot beaverted from the guilty people.
6/148 Those who are polytheists will say: If Allah had pleasedwe would not have associated (aught with Him) nor our fathers,nor would we have forbidden (to ourselves) anything; even sodid those before them reject until they tasted Our punishment.Say: Have you any knowledge with you so you should bring itforth to us? You only follow a conjecture and you only tell lies.
6/149 Say: Then Allah's is the conclusive argument; so if Heplease, He would certainly guide you all.
6/150 Say: Bring your witnesses who should bear witness thatAllah has forbidden this, then if they bear witness, do not bearwitness with them; and follow not the low desires of those whoreject Our communications and of those who do not believe inthe hereafter, and they make (others) equal to theirLord.
6/151 Say: Come I will recite what your Lord has forbidden toyou-- (remember) that you do not associate anything with Himand show kindness to your parents, and do not slay your childrenfor (fear of) poverty-- We provide for you and for them--and do not draw nigh to indecencies, those of them which areapparent and those which are concealed, and do not kill the soulwhich Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice;this He has enjoined you with that you may understand.
6/152 And do not approach the property of the orphan exceptin the best manner until he attains his maturity, and give fullmeasure and weight with justice-- We do not impose on any soula duty except to the extent of its ability; and when you speak,then be just though it be (against) a relative, and fulfill Allah'scovenant; this He has enjoined you with that you may be mindful;
6/153 And (know) that this is My path, the right one thereforefollow it, and follow not (other) ways, for they will lead youaway from His way; this He has enjoined you with that you mayguard (against evil).
6/154 Again, We gave the Book to Musa to complete (Ourblessings) on him who would do good (to others), and makingplain all things and a guidance and a mercy, so that they shouldbelieve in the meeting of their Lord.
6/155 And this is a Book We have revealed, blessed; thereforefollow it and guard (against evil) that mercy may be shown toyou.
6/156 Lest you say that the Book was only revealed to twoparties before us and We were truly unaware of what they read.
6/157 Or lest you should say: If the Book had been revealedto us, we would certainly have been better guided than they, soindeed there has come to you clear proof from your Lord, andguidance and mercy. Who then is more unjust than he whorejects Allah's communications and turns away from them? Wewill reward those who turn away from Our communicationswith an evil chastisement because they turned away.
6/158 They do not wait aught but that the angels should cometo them, or that your Lord should come, or that some of thesigns of your Lord should come. On the day when some of thesigns of your Lord shall come, its faith shall not profit a soulwhich did not believe before, or earn good through its faith. Say:Wait; we too are waiting.
6/159 Surely they who divided their religion into parts andbecame sects, you have no concern with them; their affair is onlywith Allah, then He will inform them of what they did.
6/160 Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it,and whoever brings an evil deed, he shall be recompensed onlywith the like of it, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
6/161 Say: Surely, (as for) me, my Lord has guided me to theright path; (to) a most right religion, the faith of Ibrahim theupright one, and he was not of the polytheists.
6/162 Say. Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life andmy death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds;
6/163 No associate has He; and this am I commanded, and Iam the first of those who submit.
6/164 Say: What! shall I seek a Lord other than Allah? And Heis the Lord of all things; and no soul earns (evil) but againstitself, and no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another;then to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you of that inwhich you differed.
6/165 And He it is Who has made you successors in the landand raised some of you above others by (various) grades, that Hemight try you by what He has given you; surely your Lord isquick to requite (evil), and He is most surely the Forgiving, theMerciful.
7/1 Alif Lam Mim Suad.
7/2 A Book revealed to you-- so let there be no straitness inyour breast on account of it-- that you may warn thereby, and areminder close to the believers.
7/3 Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord anddo not follow guardians besides Him, how little do you mind.
7/4 And how many a town that We destroyed, so Our punishmentcame to it by night or while they slept at midday.
7/5 Yet their cry, when Our punishment came to them, wasnothing but that they said: Surely we were unjust.
7/6 Most certainly then We will question those to whom (themessengers) were sent, and most certainly We will also question themessengers;
7/7 Then most certainly We will relate to them with knowledge,and We were not absent.
7/8 And the measuring out on that day will be just; then as forhim whose measure (of good deeds) is heavy, those are they whoshall be successful;
7/9 And as for him whose measure (of good deeds) is lightthose are they who have made their souls suffer loss because theydisbelieved in Our communications.
7/10 And certainly We have established you in the earth andmade in it means of livelihood for you; little it is that you givethanks.
7/11 And certainly We created you, then We fashioned you,then We said to the angels: Prostrate to Adam. So theydid prostrate except Iblis; he was not of those who prostrated.
7/12 He said: What hindered you so that you did not prostratewhen I commanded you? He said: I am better than he:Thou hast created me of fire, while him Thou didst create ofdust.
7/13 He said: Then get forth from this (state), for it does notbefit you to behave proudly therein. Go forth, therefore, surelyyou are of the abject ones.
7/14 He said: Respite me until the day when they are raised up.
7/15 He said: Surely you are of the respited ones.
7/16 He said: As Thou hast caused me to remain disappointedI will certainly lie in wait for them in Thy straight path.
7/17 Then I will certainly come to them from before them andfrom behind them, and from their right-hand side and from theirleft-hand side; and Thou shalt not find most of them thankful.
7/18 He said: Get out of this (state), despised, driven away;whoever of them will follow you, I will certainly fill hell with youall.
7/19 And (We said): O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in thegarden; so eat from where you desire, but do not go near thistree, for then you will be of the unjust.
7/20 But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to them that hemight make manifest to them what had been hidden from themof their evil inclinations, and he said: Your Lord has not forbiddenyou this tree except that you may not both become twoangels or that you may (not) become of the immortals.
7/21 And he swore to them both: Most surely I am a sincereadviser to you.
7/22 Then he caused them to fall by deceit; so when they tastedof the tree, their evil inclinations became manifest to them, andthey both began to cover themselves with the leaves of thegarden; and their Lord called out to them: Did I not forbid youboth from that tree and say to you that the Shaitan is your openenemy?
7/23 They said: Our Lord! We have been unjust to ourselves,and if Thou forgive us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shallcertainly be of the losers.
7/24 He said: Get forth, some of you, the enemies of others,and there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for atime.
7/25 He (also) said: Therein shall you live, and therein shallyou die, and from it shall you be raised.
7/26 O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to youclothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty andclothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of thecommunications of Allah that they may be mindful.
7/27 O children of Adam! let not the Shaitan cause you to fallinto affliction as he expelled your parents from the garden,pulling off from them both their clothing that he might showthem their evil inclinations, he surely sees you, he as well as hishost, from whence you cannot see them; surely We have madethe Shaitans to be the guardians of those who do not believe.
7/28 And when they commit an indecency they say: We foundour fathers doing this, and Allah has enjoined it on us. Say:Surely Allah does not enjoin indecency; do you say against Allahwhat you do not know?
7/29 Say: My Lord has enjoined justice, and set upright yourfaces at every time of prayer and call on Him, being sincere toHim in obedience; as He brought you forth in the beginning, soshall you also return.
7/30 A part has He guided aright and (as for another) part,error is justly their due, surely they took the Shaitans for guardiansbeside Allah, and they think that they are followers of the right
7/31 O children of Adam! attend to your embellishments atevery time of prayer, and eat and drink and be not extravagant;surely He does not love the extravagant.
7/32 Say: Who has prohibited the embellishment of Allah whichHe has brought forth for His servants and the good provisions?Say: These are for the believers in the life of this world, purely(theirs) on the resurrection day; thus do We make the communicationsclear for a people who know.
7/33 Say: My Lord has only prohibited indecencies, those ofthem that are apparent as well as those that are concealed, andsin and rebellion without justice, and that you associate withAllah that for which He has not sent down any authority, andthat you say against Allah what you do not know.
7/34 And for every nation there is a doom, so when their doomis come they shall not remain behind the least while, nor shallthey go before.
7/35 O children of Adam! if there come to you messengers fromamong you relating to you My communications, then whoevershall guard (against evil) and act aright-- they shall have no fearnor shall they grieve.
7/36 And (as for) those who reject Our communications andturn away from them haughtily-- these are the inmates of the firethey shall abide in it.
7/37 Who is then more unjust than he who forges a lie againstAllah or rejects His communications? (As for) those, their portionof the Book shall reach them, until when Our messengerscome to them causing them to die, they shall say: Where is thatwhich you used to call upon besides Allah? They would say:They are gone away from us; and they shall bear witness againstthemselves that they were unbelievers
7/38 He will say: Enter into fire among the nations that havepassed away before you from among jinn and men; whenever anation shall enter, it shall curse its sister, until when they have allcome up with one another into it; the last of them shall say withregard to the foremost of them: Our Lord! these led us astraytherefore give them a double chastisement of the fire. He willsay: Every one shall have double but you do not know.
7/39 And the foremost of them will say to the last of them: Soyou have no preference over us; therefore taste the chastisementfor what you earned.
7/40 Surely (as for) those who reject Our communications andturn away from them haughtily, the doors of heaven shall not beopened for them, nor shall they enter the garden until the camelpass through the eye of the needle; and thus do We reward theguilty.
7/41 They shall have a bed of hell-fire and from above themcoverings (of it); and thus do We reward the unjust.
7/42 And (as for) those who believe and do good We do notimpose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability--they are the dwellers of the garden; in it they shall abide.
7/43 And We will remove whatever of ill-feeling is in theirbreasts; the rivers shall flow beneath them and they shall say: Allpraise is due to Allah Who guided us to this, and we would nothave found the way had it not been that Allah had guided us;certainly the messengers of our Lord brought the truth; and it shallbe cried out to them that this is the garden of which you aremade heirs for what you did.
7/44 And the dwellers of the garden will call out to the inmatesof the fire: Surely we have found what our Lord promised us tobe true; have you too found what your Lord promised to betrue? They will say: Yes. Then a crier will cry out among themthat the curse of Allah is on the unjust.
7/45 Who hinder (people) from Allah's way and seek to make itcrooked, and they are disbelievers in the hereafter.
7/46 And between the two there shall be a veil, and on the mostelevated places there shall be men who know all by their marks,and they shall call out to the dwellers of the garden: Peace be onyou; they shall not have yet entered it, though they hope.
7/47 And when their eyes shall be turned towards the inmates ofthe fire, they shall say: Our Lord! place us not with the unjust
7/48 And the dwellers of the most elevated places shall ca!l outto men whom they will recognize by their marks saying: Of noavail were to you your amassings and your behaving haughtily:
7/49 Are these they about whom you swore that Allah will notbestow mercy on them? Enter the garden; you shall have no fear,nor shall you grieve.
7/50 And the inmates of the fire shall call out to the dwellers ofthe garden, saying: Pour on us some water or of that which Allahhas given you. They shall say: Surely Allah has prohibited themboth to the unbelievers.
7/51 Who take their religion for an idle sport and a play and thislife's world deceives them; so today We forsake them, as theyneglected the meeting of this day of theirs and as they denied Ourcommunications.
7/52 And certainly We have brought them a Book which Wehave made clear with knowledge, a guidance and a mercy for apeople who believe.
7/53 Do they wait for aught but its final sequel? On the day whenits final sequel comes about, those who neglected it before willsay: Indeed the messengers of our Lord brought the truth; are therefor us then any intercessors so that they should intercede on ourbehalf? Or could we be sent back so that we should do (deeds)other than those which we did? Indeed they have lost their soulsand that which they forged has gone away from them.
7/54 Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens andthe earth in six periods of time, and He is firm in power; Hethrows the veil of night over the day, which it pursuesincessantly; and (He created) the sun and the moon and the stars, madesubservient by His command; surely His is the creation and thecommand; blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
7/55 Call on your Lord humbly and secretly; surely He does notlove those who exceed the limits.
7/56 And do not make mischief in the earth after its reformation,and call on Him fearing and hoping; surely the mercy ofAllah is nigh to those who do good (to others).
7/57 And He it is Who sends forth the winds bearing good newsbefore His mercy, until, when they bring up a laden cloud, Wedrive it to a dead land, then We send down water on it, then bringforth with it of fruits of all kinds; thus shall We bring forth thedead that you may be mindful.
7/58 And as for the good land, its vegetation springs forth(abundantly) by the permission of its Lord, and (as for) that whichis inferior (its herbage) comes forth but scantily; thus do Werepeat the communications for a people who give thanks.
7/59 Certainly We sent Nuh to his people, so he said: O mypeople! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; surely I fearfor you the chastisement of a grievous day.
7/60 The chiefs of his people said: Most surely we see you inclear error.
7/61 He said: O my people! there is no error in me, but I am anmessenger from the Lord of the worlds.
7/62 I deliver to you the messages of my Lord, and I offer yougood advice and I know from Allah what you do not know.
7/63 What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to youfrom your Lord through a man from among you, that he mightwarn you and that you might guard (against evil) and so thatmercy may be shown to you?
7/64 But they called him a liar, so We delivered him and thosewith him in the ark, and We drowned those who rejected Ourcommunications; surely they were a blind people.
7/65 And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He said: O mypeople! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; will you notthen guard (against evil)?
7/66 The chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his peoplesaid: Most surely we see you in folly, and most surely we think youto be of the liars.
7/67 He said: O my people! there is no folly in me, but I am anmessenger of the Lord of the worlds.
7/68 I deliver to you the messages of my Lord and I am a faithfuladviser to you:
7/69 What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to youfrom your Lord through a man from among you that he mightwarn you? And remember when He made you successors afterNuh's people and increased you in excellence in respect of make;therefore remember the benefits of Allah, that you may besuccessful.
7/70 They said: Have you come to us that we may serve Allahalone and give up what our fathers used to serve? Then bring to uswhat you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones.
7/71 He said: Indeed uncleanness and wrath from your Lordhave lighted upon you; what! do you dispute with me aboutnames which you and your fathers have given? Allah has not sentany authority for them; wait then, I too with you will be of thosewho wait.
7/72 So We delivered him and those with him by mercy from Us,and We cut off the last of those who rejected Our communicationsand were not believers.
7/73 And to Samood (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: Omy people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; clearproof indeed has come to you from your Lord; this is (as) Allah'sshe-camel for you-- a sign, therefore leave her alone to pasture onAllah's earth, and do not touch her with any harm, otherwisepainful chastisement will overtake you.
7/74 And remember when He made you successors after Ad andsettled you in the land-- you make mansions on its plains and hewout houses in the mountains-- remember therefore Allah's benefitsand do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief.
7/75 The chief of those who behaved proudly among his peoplesaid to those who were considered weak, to those who believedfrom among them: Do you know that Salih is sent by his Lord?They said: Surely we are believers in what he has been sent with
7/76 Those who were haughty said: Surely we are deniers ofwhat you believe in.
7/77 So they slew the she-camel and revolted against theirLord's commandment, and they said: O Salih! bring us what youthreatened us with, if you are one of the messengers.
7/78 Then the earthquake overtook them, so they becamemotionless bodies in their abode.
7/79 Then he turned away from them and said: O my people Idid certainly deliver to you the message of my Lord, and I gaveyou good advice, but you do not love those who give good advice.
7/80 And (We sent) Lut when he said to his people: What! doyou commit an indecency which any one in the world has not donebefore you?
7/81 Most surely you come to males in lust besides females; nayyou are an extravagant people.
7/82 And the answer of his people was no other than that theysaid: Turn them out of your town, surely they are a people whoseek to purify (themselves).
7/83 So We delivered him and his followers, except his wife; shewas of those who remained behind.
7/84 And We rained upon them a rain; consider then what wasthe end of the guilty.
7/85 And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said: Omy people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; clearproof indeed has come to you from your Lord, therefore give fullmeasure and weight and do not diminish to men their things, anddo not make mischief in the land after its reform; this is better foryou if you are believers:
7/86 And do not lie in wait in every path, threatening andturning away from Allah's way him who believes in Him andseeking to make it crooked; and remember when you were fewthen He multiplied you, and consider what was the end of themischief-makers.
7/87 And if there is a party of you who believe in that with whicham sent, and another party who do not believe, then wait patientlyuntil Allah judges between us; and He is the best of the Judges.
7/88 The chiefs, those who were proud from among his peoplesaid: We will most certainly turn you out, O Shu'aib, and (also;those who believe with you, from our town, or you shall comeback to our faith. He said: What! though we dislike (it)?
7/89 Indeed we shall have forged a lie against Allah If we goback to your religion after Allah has delivered us from It, and itbefits us not that we should go back to it, except if Allah ourLord please: Our Lord comprehends all things :n His knowledge;in Allah do we trust: Our Lord! decide between us and ourpeople with truth; and Thou art the best of deciders.
7/90 And the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among hispeople said: If you follow Shu'aib, you shall then most surely belosers
7/91 Then the earthquake overtook them, so they became motionlessbodies in their abode.
7/92 Those who called Shu'aib a liar were as though they hadnever dwelt therein; those who called Shu'aib a liar, they werethe losers.
7/93 So he turned away from them and said: O my people!certainly I delivered to you the messages of my Lord and I gaveyou good advice; how shall I then be sorry for an unbelievingpeople?
7/94 And We did not send a prophet in a town but We overtookits people with distress and affliction in order that theymight humble themselves.
7/95 Then We gave them good in the place of evil until theybecame many and said: Distress and happiness did indeed befallour fathers. Then We took them by surprise while they did notperceive.
7/96 And if the people of the towns had believed and guarded(against evil) We would certainly have opened up for themblessings from the heaven and the earth, but they rejected, so Weovertook them for what they had earned.
7/97 What! do the people of the towns then feel secure fromOur punishment coming to them by night while they sleep?
7/98 What! do the people of the towns feel secure from Ourpunishment coming to them in the morning while they play?
7/99 What! do they then feel secure from Allah's plan? Butnone feels secure from Allah's plan except the people who shallperish.
7/100 Is it not clear to those who inherit the earth after its(former) residents that if We please We would afflict them onaccount of their faults and set a seal on their hearts so theywould not hear.
7/101 These towns-- We relate to you some of their stories, andcertainly their messengers came to them with clear arguments, butthey would not believe in what they rejected at first; thus doesAllah set a seal over the hearts of the unbelievers
7/102 And We did not find in most of them any (faithfulnessto) covenant, and We found most of them to be certainly transgressors.
7/103 Then we raised after them Musa with Our communicationsto Firon and his chiefs, but they disbelieved in them;consider then what was the end of the mischief makers.
7/104 And Musa said: O Firon! surely I am a messenger from theLord of the worlds:
7/105 (I am) worthy of not saying anything about Allah exceptthe truth: I have come to you indeed with clear proof from yourLord, therefore send with me the children of Israel
7/106 He said: If you have come with a sign, then bring it, ifyou are of the truthful ones.
7/107 So he threw his rod, then lo! it was a clear serpent.
7/108 And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it was white to thebeholders.
7/109 The chiefs of Firon's people said: most surely this is anenchanter possessed of knowledge:
7/110 He intends to turn you out of your land. What counseldo you then give?
7/111 They said: Put him off and his brother, and send collectorsinto the cities:
7/112 That they may bring to you every enchanter possessed ofknowledge.
7/113 And the enchanters came to Firon (and) said: We mustsurely have a reward if we are the prevailing ones.
7/114 He said: Yes, and you shall certainly be of those who arenear (to me).
7/115 They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the firstto cast?
7/116 He said: Cast. So when they cast, they deceived thepeople's eyes and frightened them, and they produced a mightyenchantment.
7/117 And We revealed to Musa, saying: Cast your rod; thenlo! it devoured the lies they told.
7/118 So the truth was established, and what they did becamenull.
7/119 Thus they were vanquished there, and they went backabased.
7/120 And the enchanters were thrown down, prostrating (themselves).
7/121 They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds,
7/122 The Lord of Musa and Haroun.
7/123 Firon said: Do you believe in Him before I have givenyou permission? Surely this is a plot which you have secretlydevised in this city, that you may turn out of it its people, butyou shall know:
7/124 I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet onopposite sides, then will I crucify you all together.
7/125 They said: Surely to our Lord shall we go back:
7/126 And you do not take revenge on us except because wehave believed in the communications of our Lord when theycame to us! Our Lord: Pour out upon us patience and cause usto die in submission.
7/127 And the chiefs of Firon's people said: Do you leaveMusa and his people to make mischief in the land and to forsakeyou and your gods? He said: We will slay their sons and sparetheir women, and surely we are masters over them.
7/128 Musa said to his people: Ask help from Allah and bepatient; surely the land is Allah's; He causes such of His servantsto inherit it as He pleases, and the end is for those who guard(against evil).
7/129 They said: We have been persecuted before you came tous and since you have come to us. He said: It may be that yourLord will destroy your enemy and make you rulers in the land,then He will see how you act.
7/130 And certainly We overtook Firon's people with droughtsand diminution of fruits that they may be mindful.
7/131 But when good befell them they said: This is due to us;and when evil afflicted them, they attributed it to the ill-luck ofMusa and those with him; surely their evil fortune is only fromAllah but most of them do not know.
7/132 And they said: Whatever sign you may bring to us tocharm us with it-- we will not believe in you.
7/133 Therefore We sent upon them widespread death, and thelocusts and the lice and the frog and the blood, clear signs; butthey behaved haughtily and they were a guilty people.
7/134 And when the plague fell upon them, they said: O Musa!pray for us to your Lord as He has promised with you, if youremove the plague from us, we will certainly believe in you andwe will certainly send away with you the children of Israel.
7/135 But when We removed the plague from them till a termwhich they should attain lo! they broke (the promise).
7/136 Therefore We inflicted retribution on them and drownedthem in the sea because they rejected Our signs and were heedlessof them.
7/137 And We made the people who were deemed weak tomhent the eastern lands and the western ones which We hadblessed; and the good word of your Lord was fulfilled in thechildren of Israel because they bore up (sufferings) patiently; andWe utterly destroyed what Firon and his people had wroughtand what they built.
7/138 And We made the children of Israel to pass the sea; thenthey came upon a people who kept to the worship of their idolsThey said: O Musa! make for us a god as they have (their) godsHe said: Surely you are a people acting ignorantly:
7/139 (As to) these, surely that about which they are shall bebrought to naught and that which they do is vain.
7/140 He said: What! shall I seek for you a god other thanAllah while He has made you excel (all) created things?
7/141 And when We delivered you from Firon's people whosubJected you to severe torment, killing your sons and sparingyour women, and in this there was a great trial from your Lord.
7/142 And We appointed with Musa a time of thirty nights andcompleted them with ten (more), so the appointed time of hisLord was complete forty nights, and Musa said to his brotherHaroun: Take my place among my people, and act well and donot follow the way of the mischief-makers.
7/143 And when Musa came at Our appointed time and hisLord spoke to him, he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so thatI may look upon Thee. He said: You cannot (bear to) see Mebut look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then willyou see Me; but when his Lord manifested His glory to themountain He made it crumble and Musa fell down in a swoon;then when he recovered, he said: Glory be to Thee, I turn toThee, and I am the first of the believers.
7/144 He said: O Musa! surely I have chosen you above thepeople with My messages and with My words, therefore takehold of what I give to you and be of the grateful ones.
7/145 And We ordained for him in the tablets admonition ofevery kind and clear explanation of all things; so take hold ofthem with firmness and enjoin your people to take hold of whatis best thereof; I will show you the abode of the transgressors.
7/146 I will turn away from My communications those who areunjustly proud in the earth; and if they see every sign they willnot believe in It; and if they see the way of rectitude they do nottake It for a way, and if they see the way of error. they take it fora way; this is because they rejected Our communications andwere heedless of them.
7/147 And (as to) those who reject Our communications andthe meeting of the hereafter, their deeds are null. Shall they berewarded except for what they have done?
7/148 And Musa's people made of their ornaments a calf afterhim, a (mere) body, which gave a mooing sound. What! couldthey not see that it did not speak to them nor guide them m theway? They took it (for worship) and they were unjust.
7/149 And when they repented and saw that they had goneastray, they said: If our Lord show not mercy to us and forgiveus we shall certainly be of the losers.
7/150 And when Musa returned to his people, wrathful (and)in violent grief, he said: Evil is it that you have done after me; didyou turn away from the bidding of your Lord? And he threwdown the tablets and seized his brother by the head, dragginghim towards him. He said: Son of my mother! surely the peoplereckoned me weak and had well-nigh slain me, therefore makenot the enemies to rejoice over me and count me not among theunjust people.
7/151 He said: My Lord! forgive me and my brother and causeus to enter into Thy mercy, and Thou art the most Merciful ofthe merciful ones.
7/152 (As for) those who took the calf (for a god), surely wrathfrom their Lord and disgrace in this world's life shall overtakethem, and thus do We recompense the devisers of lies.
7/153 And (as to) those who do evil deeds, then repent afterthat and believe, your Lord after that is most surely Forgiving,Merciful.
7/154 And when Musa's anger calmed down he took up thetablets, and in the writing thereof was guidance and mercy forthose who fear for the sake of their Lord.
7/155 And Musa chose out of his people seventy men for Ourappointment; so when the earthquake overtook them, he said:My Lord! if Thou hadst pleased, Thou hadst destroyed thembefore and myself (too); wilt Thou destroy us for what the foolsamong us have done? It is naught but Thy trial, Thou makest errwith it whom Thou pleasest and guidest whom Thou pleasest:Thou art our Guardian, therefore forgive us and have mercy onus, and Thou art the best of the forgivers.
7/156 And ordain for us good in this world's life and m thehereafter, for surely we turn to Thee. He said: (As for) Mychastisement, I will afflict with it whom I please, and My mercyencompasses all things; so I will ordain it (specially) for thosewho guard (against evil) and pay the poor-rate, and those whobelieve in Our communications.
7/157 Those who follow the Messenger-Prophet, the Ummi, whomthey find written down with them in the Taurat and the Injeel(who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil, and makeslawful to them the good things and makes unlawful to themimpure things, and removes from them their burden and theshackles which were upon them; so (as for) those who believe inhim and honor him and help him, and follow the light which hasbeen sent down with him, these it is that are the successful.
7/158 Say: O people! surely I am the Messenger of Allah to youall, of Him Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earththere is no god but He; He brings to life and causes to dietherefore believe in Allah and His messenger, the Ummi Prophetwho believes in Allah and His words, and follow him so that youmay walk in the right way.
7/159 And of Musa's people was a party who guided (people)with the truth, and thereby did they do justice.
7/160 And We divided them into twelve tribes, as nations; andWe revealed to Musa when his people asked him for water:Strike the rock with your staff, so outnowed from it twelvesprings; each tribe knew its drinking place; and We made theclouds to give shade over them and We sent to them manna andquails: Eat of the good things We have given you. And they didnot do Us any harm, but they did injustice to their own souls.
7/161 And when it was said to them: Reside in this town andeat from it wherever you wish, and say, Put down from us ourheavy burdens: and enter the gate making obeisance, We willforgive you your wrongs: We will give more to those who dogood (to others).
7/162 But those who were unjust among them changed it for asaying other than that which had been spoken to them; so Wesent upon them a pestilence from heaven because they wereunjust.
7/163 And ask them about the town which stood by the sea;when they exceeded the limits of the Sabbath, when their fishcame to them on the day of their Sabbath, appearing on thesurface of the water, and on the day on which they did not keepthe Sabbath they did not come to them; thus did We try thembecause they transgressed.
7/164 And when a party of them said: Why do you admonish awith a severe chastisement? They said: To be free from blamebefore your Lord, and that haply they may guard (against evil).
7/165 So when they neglected what they had been reminded of,We delivered those who forbade evil and We overtook thosewho were unjust with an evil chastisement because they transgressed.
7/166 Therefore when they revoltingly persisted in what theyhad been forbidden, We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised andhated.
7/167 And when your Lord announced that He would certainlysend against them to the day of resurrection those who wouldsubject them to severe torment; most surely your Lord is quickto requite (evil) and most surely He is Forgiving, Merciful.
7/168 And We cut them up on the earth into parties, (some) ofthem being righteous and (others) of them falling short of that,and We tried them with blessings and misfortunes that theymight turn.
7/169 Then there came after them an evil posterity who inheritedthe Book, taking only the frail good of this low life andsaying: It will be forgiven us. And if the like good came to them,they would take it (too). Was not a promise taken from them inthe Book that they would not speak anything about Allah butthe truth, and they have read what is in it; and the abode of thehereafter is better for those who guard (against evil). Do you notthen understand?
7/170 And (as for) those who hold fast by the Book and keepup prayer, surely We do not waste the reward of the right doers.
7/171 And when We shook the mountain over them as if itwere a covering overhead, and they thought that it was going tofall down upon them: Take hold of what We have given you withfirmness, and be mindful of what is in it, so that you may guard(against evil).
7/172 And when your Lord brought forth from the children ofAdam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them bearwitness against their own souls: Am I not your Lord? They said:Yes! we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of resurrection:Surely we were heedless of this.
7/173 Or you should say: Only our fathers associated others(with Allah) before, and we were an offspring after them: WiltThou then destroy us for what the vain doers did?
7/174 And thus do We make clear the communications, andthat haply they might return.
7/175 And recite to them the narrative of him to whom We giveOur communications, but he withdraws himself from them, sothe Shaitan overtakes him, so he is of those who go astray.
7/176 And if We had pleased, We would certainly have exaltedhim thereby; but he clung to the earth and followed his lowdesire, so his parable is as the parable of the dog; if you attackhim he lolls out his tongue; and if you leave him alone he lollsout his tongue; this is the parable of the people who reject Ourcommunications; therefore relate the narrative that they mayreflect.
7/177 Evil is the likeness of the people who reject Our communicationsand are unjust to their own souls.
7/178 Whomsoever Allah guides, he is the one who follows theright way; and whomsoever He causes to err, these are the losers.
7/179 And certainly We have created for hell many of the jinnand the men; they have hearts with which they do not understand,and they have eyes with which they do not see, and theyhave ears with which they do not hear; they are as cattle, nay,they are in worse errors; these are the heedless ones.
7/180 And Allah's are the best names, therefore call on Himthereby, and leave alone those who violate the sanctity of Hisnames; they shall be recompensed for what they did.
7/181 And of those whom We have created are a people whoguide with the truth and thereby they do justice.
7/182 And (as to) those who reject Our communications, Wedraw them near (to destruction) by degrees from whence theyknow not.
7/183 And I grant them respite; surely My scheme is effective.
7/184 Do they not reflect that their companion has not unsoundnessin mind; he is only a plain warner.
7/185 Do they not consider the kingdom of the heavens and theearth and whatever things Allah has created, and that may betheir doom shall have drawn nigh; what announcement wouldthey then believe in after this?
7/186 Whomsoever Allah causes to err, there is no guide forhim; and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindlywandering on.
7/187 They ask you about the hour, when will be its takingplace? Say: The knowledge of it is only with my Lord; none butHe shall manifest it at its time; it will be momentous in theheavens and the earth; it will not come on you but of a sudden.They ask you as if you were solicitous about it. Say: Its knowledgeis only with Allah, but most people do not know.
7/188 Say: I do not control any benefit or harm for my ownsoul except as Allah please; and had I known the unseen I wouldhave had much of good and no evil would have touched me; Iam nothing but a warner and the giver of good news to a peoplewho believe.
7/189 He it is Who created you from a single being, and of thesame (kind) did He make his mate, that he might incline to her;so when he covers her she bears a light burden, then moves about withit; but when it grows heavy, they both call uponAllah, their Lord: If Thou givest us a good one, we shall certainlybe of the grateful ones.
7/190 But when He gives them a good one, thcy set up withHim associates in what He has given them; but high is Allahabove what they associate (with Him).
7/191 What! they associate (with Him) that which does notcreate any thing, while they are themselves created!
7/192 And they have no power to give them help, nor can theyhelp themselves.
7/193 And if you invite them to guidance, they will not followyou; it is the same to you whether you invite them or you aresilent.
7/194 Surely those whom you call on besides Allah are in astate of subjugation like yourselves; therefore call on them, thenlet them answer you if you are truthful.
7/195 Have they feet with which they walk, or have they handswith which they hold, or have they eyes with which they see, orhave they ears with which they hear? Say: Call your associates,then make a struggle (to prevail) against me and give me norespite.
7/196 Surely my guardian is Allah, Who revealed the Book,and He befriends the good.
7/197 And those whom you call upon besides Him are not ableto help you, nor can they help themselves.
7/198 And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear;and you see them looking towards you, yet they do not see.
7/199 Take to forgiveness and enjoin good and turn aside fromthe ignorant.
7/200 And if a false imputation from the Shaitan afflict you,seek refuge in Allah; surely He is Hearing, Knowing.
7/201 Surely those who guard (against evil), when a visitationfrom the Shaitan afflicts them they become mindful, then lo!they see.
7/202 And their brethren increase them in error, then theycease not.
7/203 And when you bring them not a revelation they say: Whydo you not forge it? Say: I only follow what is revealed to mefrom my Lord; these are clear proofs from your Lord and aguidance and a mercy for a people who believe.
7/204 And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it andremain silent, that mercy may be shown to you.
7/205 And remember your Lord within yourself humbly andfearing and in a voice not loud in the morning and the eveningand be not of the heedless ones.
7/206 Surely those who are with your Lord are not too proudto serve Him, and they declare His glory and prostratein humility before Him.
8/1 They ask you about the windfalls. Say: The windfalls arefor Allah and the Messenger. So be careful of (your duty to) Allahand set aright matters of your difference, and obey Allah andHis Messenger if you are believers.
8/2 Those only are believers whose hearts become full of fearwhen Allah is mentioned, and when His communications arerecited to them they increase them in faith, and in their Lord dothey trust.
8/3 Those who keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) out ofwhat We have given them.
8/4 These are the believers in truth; they shall have from theirLord exalted grades and forgiveness and an honorable sustenance.
8/5 Even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your housewith the truth, though a party of the believers were surelyaverse;
8/6 They disputed with you about the truth after it had becomeclear, (and they went forth) as if they were being driven to deathwhile they saw (it).
8/7 And when Allah promised you one of the two parties that itshall be yours and you loved that the one not armed should heyours and Allah desired to manifest the truth of what was trueby His words and to cut off the root of the unbelievers.
8/8 That He may manifest the truth of what was true and showthe falsehood of what was false, though the guilty disliked.
8/9 When you sought aid from your Lord, so He answeredyou: I will assist you with a thousand of the angels following oneanother.
8/10 And Allah only gave it as a good news and that yourhearts might be at ease thereby; and victory is only from Allah;surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8/11 When He caused calm to fall on you as a security fromHim and sent down upon you water from the cloud that Hemight thereby purify you, and take away from you the uncleannessof the Shaitan, and that He might fortify your hearts andsteady (your) footsteps thereby.
8/12 When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you,therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into thehearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their headsand strike off every fingertip of them.
8/13 This is because they acted adversely to Allah and HisMessenger; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Messenger--then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
8/14 This-- taste it, and (know) that for the unbelievers is thechastisement of fire.
8/15 O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelievemarching for war, then turn not your backs to them.
8/16 And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day--unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to acompany-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath,and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.
8/17 So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slewthem, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but itwas Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon thebelievers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing,Knowing.
8/18 This, and that Allah is the weakener of the struggle of theunbelievers.
8/19 If you demanded a judgment, the judgment has thenindeed come to you; and if you desist, it will be better for you;and if you turn back (to fight), We (too) shall turn back, andyour forces shall avail you nothing, though they may be many,and (know) that Allah is with the believers.
8/20 O you who believe! obey Allah and His Messenger and donot turn back from Him while you hear.
8/21 And be not like those who said, We hear, and they did notobey.
8/22 Surely the vilest of animals, in Allah's sight, are the deaf,the dumb, who do not understand.
8/23 And if Allah had known any good in them He would havemade them hear, and if He makes them hear they would turnback while they withdraw.
8/24 O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and HisMessenger when he calls you to that which gives you life; and knowthat Allah intervenes between man and his heart, and that toHim you shall be gathered.
8/25 And fear an affliction which may not smite those of you inparticular who are unjust; and know that Allah is severe inrequiting (evil).
8/26 And remember when you were few, deemed weak in theland, fearing lest people might carry you off by force, but Hesheltered you and strengthened you with His aid and gave you ofthe good things that you may give thanks.
8/27 O you who believe! be not unfaithful to Allah and theMessenger, nor be unfaithful to your trusts while you know.
8/28 And know that your property and your children are atemptation, and that Allah is He with Whom there is a mightyreward.
8/29 O you who believe! If you are careful of (your duty to)Allah, He will grant you a distinction and do away with yourevils and forgive you; and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
8/30 And when those who disbelieved devised plans againstyou that they might confine you or slay you or drive you away;and they devised plans and Allah too had arranged a plan; andAllah is the best of planners.
8/31 And when Our communications are recited to them, theysay: We have heard indeed; if we pleased we could say the like ofit; this is nothing but the stories of the ancients.
8/32 And when they said: O Allah! if this is the truth fromThee, then rain upon us stones from heaven or inflict on us apainful punishment.
8/33 But Allah was not going to chastise them while you wereamong them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet theyask for forgiveness.
8/34 And what (excuse) have they that Allah should not chastisethem while they hinder (men) from the Sacred Mosque andthey are not (fit to be) guardians of it; its guardians are onlythose who guard (against evil), but most of them do not know.
8/35 And their prayer before the House is nothing but whistlingand clapping of hands; taste then the chastisement, for youdisbelieved.
8/36 Surely those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder(people) from the way of Allah; so they shall spend it, then itshall be to them an intense regret, then they shall be overcome;and those who disbelieve shall be driven together to hell.
8/37 That Allah might separate the impure from the good, andput the impure, some of it upon the other, and pile it uptogether, then cast it into hell; these it is that are the losers.
8/38 Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which ispast shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then whathappened to the ancients has already passed.
8/39 And fight with them until there is no more persecutionand religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, thensurely Allah sees what they do.
8/40 And if they turn back, then know that Allah is yourPatron; most excellent is the Patron and most excellent theHelper.
8/41 And know that whatever thing you gain, a fifth of itis for Allah and for the Messenger and for the near of kin andthe orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if you believe inAllah and in that which We revealed to Our servant, on the dayof distinction, the day on which the two parties met; and Allahhas power over all things.
8/42 When you were on the nearer side (of the valley) and theywere on the farthest side, while the caravan was in a lower placethan you; and if you had mutually made an appointment, youwould certainly have broken away from the appointment, but--in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to bedone, that he who would perish might perish by clear proof, andhe who would live might live by clear proof; and most surelyAllah is Hearing, Knowing;
8/43 When Allah showed them to you in your dream as few;and if He had shown them to you as many you would certainlyhave become weak-hearted and you would have disputed aboutthe matter, but Allah saved (you); surely He is the Knower ofwhat is in the breasts.
8/44 And when He showed them to you, when you met, as fewin your eyes and He made you to appear little in their eyes, inorder that Allah might bring about a matter which was to bedone, and to Allah are all affairs returned.
8/45 O you who believe! when you meet a party, then be firm,and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.
8/46 And obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel forthen you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, andbe patient; surely Allah is with the patient.
8/47 And be not like those who came forth from their homes ingreat exultation and to be seen of men, and (who) turn awayfrom the way of Allah, and Allah comprehends what they do.
8/48 And when the Shaitan made their works fair seeming tothem, and said: No one can overcome you this day, and surely Iam your protector: but when the two parties came in sight ofeach other he turned upon his heels, and said: Surely I am clearof you, surely I see what you do not see, surely I fear Allah; andAllah is severe in requiting (evil).
8/49 When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was diseasesaid: Their religion has deceived them; and whoever trustsin Allah, then surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8/50 And had you seen when the angels will cause to die thosewho disbelieve, smiting their faces and their backs, and (saying):Taste the punishment of burning.
8/51 This is for what your own hands have sent on before, andbecause Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants;
8/52 In the manner of the people of Firon and those beforethem; they disbelieved in Allah's communications, therefore Allahdestroyed them on account of their faults; surely Allah is strong,severe in requiting (evil).
8/53 This is because Allah has never changed a favor which Hehas conferred upon a people until they change their own condition;and because Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
8/54 In the manner of the people of Firon and those beforethem; they rejected the communications of their Lord, thereforeWe destroyed them on account of their faults and We drownedFiron's people, and they were all unjust.
8/55 Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those whodisbelieve, then they would not believe.
8/56 Those with whom you make an agreement, then theybreak their agreement every time and they do not guard (againstpunishment).
8/57 Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by(making an example of) them those who are in their rear, thatthey may be mindful.
8/58 And if you fear treachery on the part of a people, thenthrow back to them on terms of equality; surely Allah does notlove the treacherous.
8/59 And let not those who disbelieve think that they shallcome in first; surely they will not escape.
8/60 And prepare against them what force you can and horsestied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah andyour enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know(but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend inAllah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not bedealt with unjustly.
8/61 And if they incline to peace, then incline to it and trust inAllah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
8/62 And if they intend to deceive you-- then surely Allah issufficient for you; He it is Who strengthened you with His helpand with the believers
8/63 And united their hearts; had you spent all that is in theearth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah unitedthem; surely He is Mighty, Wise.
8/64 O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and (for) such of thebelievers as follow you.
8/65 O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twentypatient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and ifthere are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand ofthose who disbelieve, because they are a people who do notunderstand.
8/66 For the present Allah has made light your burden, and Heknows that there is weakness in you; so if there are a hundredpatient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and ifthere are a thousand they shall overcome two thousand byAllah's permission, and Allah is with the patient.
8/67 It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captivesunless he has fought and triumphed in the land; you desire thefrail goods of this world, while Allah desires (for you) thehereafter; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8/68 Were it not for an ordinance from Allah that had alreadygone forth, surely there would have befallen you a great chastisementfor what you had taken to.
8/69 Eat then of the lawful and good (things) which you haveacquired in war, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surelyAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
8/70 O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in yourhands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will giveto you better than that which has been taken away from you andwill forgive you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
8/71 And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, soindeed they acted unfaithfully towards Allah before, but He gave(you) mastery over them; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
8/72 Surely those who believed and fled (their homes) andstruggled hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls,and those who gave shelter and helped-- these are guardians ofeach other; and (as for) those who believed and did not fly, notyours is their guardianship until they fly; and if they seek aidfrom you in the matter of religion, aid is incumbent on youexcept against a people between whom and you there is a treaty,and Allah sees what you do.
8/73 And (as for) those who disbelieve, some of them are theguardians of others; if you will not do it, there will be in the landpersecution and great mischief.
8/74 And (as for) those who believed and fled and struggledhard in Allah's way, and those who gave shelter and helped,these are the believers truly; they shall have forgiveness andhonorable provision.
8/75 And (as for) those who believed afterwards and fled andstruggled hard along with you, they are of you; and the possessorsof relationships are nearer to each other in the ordinance ofAllah; surely Allah knows all things.
9/1 (This is a declaration of) immunity by Allah and HisMessenger towards those of the idolaters with whom you made anagreement.
9/2 So go about in the land for four months and know that youcannot weaken Allah and that Allah will bring disgrace to theunbelievers.
9/3 And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger to thepeople on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah and HisMessenger are free from liability to the idolaters; therefore if yourepent, it will be better for you, and if you turn back, then knowthat you will not weaken Allah; and announce painful punishmentto those who disbelieve.
9/4 Except those of the idolaters with whom you made anagreement, then they have not failed you in anything and havenot backed up any one against you, so fulfill their agreement tothe end of their term; surely Allah loves those who are careful (oftheir duty).
9/5 So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay theidolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives andbesiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then ifthey repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave theirway free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
9/6 And if one of the idolaters seek protection from you, granthim protection till he hears the word of Allah, then make himattain his place of safety; this is because they are a people who donot know.
9/7 How can there be an agreement for the idolaters with Allahand with His Messenger; except those with whom you made anagreement at the Sacred Mosque? So as long as they are true toyou, be true to them; surely Allah loves those who are careful (oftheir duty).
9/8 How (can it be)! while if they prevail against you, theywould not pay regard in your case to ties of relationship, northose of covenant; they please you with their mouths while theirhearts do not consent; and most of them are transgressors.
9/9 They have taken a small price for the communications ofAllah, so they turn away from His way; surely evil is it that theydo.
9/10 They do not pay regard to ties of relationship nor those ofcovenant in the case of a believer; and these are they who gobeyond the limits.
9/11 But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate,they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communicationsclear for a people who know.
9/12 And if they break their oaths after their agreement and(openly) revile your religion, then fight the leaders of unbelief--surely their oaths are nothing-- so that they may desist.
9/13 What! will you not fight a people who broke their oathsand aimed at the expulsion of the Messenger, and they attackedyou first; do you fear them? But Allah is most deserving that youshould fear Him, if you are believers.
9/14 Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands andbring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal thehearts of a believing people.
9/15 And remove the rage of their hearts; and Allah turns(mercifully) to whom He pleases, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
9/16 What! do you think that you will be left alone while Allahhas not yet known those of you who have struggled hard andhave not taken any one as an adherent besides Allah and HisMessenger and the believers; and Allah is aware of what you do.
9/17 The idolaters have no right to visit the mosques of Allahwhile bearing witness to unbelief against themselves, these it iswhose doings are null, and in the fire shall they abide.
9/18 Only he shall visit the mosques of Allah who believes inAllah and the latter day, and keeps up prayer and pays the poor-rateand fears none but Allah; so (as for) these, it may be thatthey are of the followers of the right course.
9/19 What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving ofdrink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque likehim who believes in Allah and the latter day and strives hard inAllah's way? They are not equal with Allah; and Allah does notguide the unjust people.
9/20 Those who believed and fled (their homes), and strovehard in Allah's way with their property and their souls, are muchhigher in rank with Allah; and those are they who are theachievers (of their objects).
9/21 Their Lord gives them good news of mercy from Himselfand (His) good pleasure and gardens, wherein lasting blessingsshall be theirs;
9/22 Abiding therein for ever; surely Allah has a Mighty rewardwith Him.
9/23 O you who believe! do not take your fathers and yourbrothers for guardians if they love unbelief more than belief; andwhoever of you takes them for a guardian, these it is that are theunjust.
9/24 Say: If your fathers and your sons and your brethren andyour mates and your kinsfolk and property which you haveacquired, and the slackness of trade which you fear and dwellingswhich you like, are dearer to you than Allah and His Messengerand striving in His way, then wait till Allah brings about Hiscommand: and Allah does not guide the transgressing people.
9/25 Certainly Allah helped you in many battlefields and onthe day of Hunain, when your great numbers made you vain, butthey availed you nothing and the earth became strait to younotwithstanding its spaciousness, then you turned back retreating.
9/26 Then Allah sent down His tranquillity upon His Messengerand upon the believers, and sent down hosts which you did notsee, and chastised those who disbelieved, and that is the rewardof the unbelievers.
9/27 Then will Allah after this turn (mercifully) to whom Hepleases, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
9/28 O you who believe! the idolaters are nothing but unclean,so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year;and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of Hisgrace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise.
9/29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latterday, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger haveprohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those whohave been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgmentof superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
9/30 And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and theChristians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are thewords of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those whodisbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turnedaway!
9/31 They have taken their doctors of law and their monks forlords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium andthey were enjoined that they should serve one Allah only, there isno god but He; far from His glory be what they set up (withHim).
9/32 They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths,and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though theunbelievers are averse.
9/33 He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and thereligion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over allreligions, though the polytheists may be averse.
9/34 O you who believe! most surely many of the doctors oflaw and the monks eat away the property of men falsely, andturn (them) from Allah's way; and (as for) those who hoard upgold and silver and do not spend it in Allah's way, announce tothem a painful chastisement,
9/35 On the day when it shall be heated in the fire of hell, thentheir foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be brandedwith it; this is what you hoarded up for yourselves, thereforetaste what you hoarded.
9/36 Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve monthsin Allah's ordinance since the day when He created the heavensand the earth, of these four being sacred; that is the rightreckoning; therefore be not unjust to yourselves regarding them,and fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together;and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).
9/37 Postponing (of the sacred month) is only an addition inunbelief, wherewith those who disbelieve are led astray, violatingit one year and keeping it sacred another, that they may agree inthe number (of months) that Allah has made sacred, and thusviolate what Allah has made sacred; the evil of their doings ismade fairseeming to them; and Allah does not guide the unbelievingpeople.
9/38 O you who believe! What (excuse) have you that when it issaid to you: Go forth in Allah's way, you should incline heavilyto earth; are you contented with this world's life instead of thehereafter? But the provision of this world's life compared withthe hereafter is but little.
9/39 If you do not go forth, He will chastise you with a painfulchastisement and bring in your place a people other than you,and you will do Him no harm; and Allah has power over allthings.
9/40 If you will not aid him, Allah certainly aided him whenthose who disbelieved expelled him, he being the second of thetwo, when they were both in the cave, when he said to hiscompanion: Grieve not, surely Allah is with us. So Allah sentdown His tranquillity upon him and strengthened him with hostswhich you did not see, and made lowest the word of those whodisbelieved; and the word of Allah, that is the highest; and Allahis Mighty, Wise.
9/41 Go forth light and heavy, and strive hard in Allah's waywith your property and your persons; this is better for you, ifyou know.
9/42 Had it been a near advantage and a short journey, theywould certainly have followed you, but the tedious journey wastoo long for them; and they swear by Allah: If we had been able,we would certainly have gone forth with you; they cause theirown souls to perish, and Allah knows that they are most surely
9/43 Allah pardon you! Why did you give them leave untilthose who spoke the truth had become manifest to you and youhad known the liars?
9/44 They do not ask leave of you who believe in Allah and thelatter day (to stay away) from striving hard with their propertyand their persons, and Allah knows those who guard (againstevil).
9/45 They only ask leave of you who do not believe in Allahand the latter day and their hearts are in doubt, so in their doubtdo they waver.
9/46 And if they had intended to go forth, they would certainlyhave provided equipment for it, but Allah did not like theirgoing forth, so He withheld them, and it was said (to them):Hold back with those who hold back.
9/47 Had they gone forth with you, they would not have addedto you aught save corruption, and they would certainly havehurried about among you seeking (to sow) dissension amongyou, and among you there are those who hearken for their sake;and Allah knows the unjust.
9/48 Certainly they sought (to sow) dissension before, and theymeditated plots against you until the truth came, and Allah'scommandment prevailed although they were averse (from it).
9/49 And among them there is he who says: Allow me and donot try me. Surely into trial have they already tumbled down,and most surely hell encompasses the unbelievers.
9/50 If good befalls you, it grieves them, and if hardship afflictsyou, they say: Indeed we had taken care of our affair before; andthey turn back and are glad.
9/51 Say: Nothing will afflict us save what Allah has ordainedfor us; He is our Patron; and on Allah let the believers rely.
9/52 Say: Do you await for us but one of two most excellentthings? And we await for you that Allah will afflict you withpunishment from Himself or by our hands. So wait; we too willwait with you.
9/53 Say: Spend willingly or unwillingly, it shall not be acceptedfrom you; surely you are a transgressing people.
9/54 And nothing hinders their spendings being accepted fromthem, except that they disbelieve in Allah and in His Messenger andthey do not come to prayer but while they are sluggish, and theydo not spend but while they are unwilling.
9/55 Let not then their property and their children excite youradmiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in thisworld's life and (that) their souls may depart while they areunbelievers.
9/56 And they swear by Allah that they are most surely of you,and they are not of you, but they are a people who are afraid (ofyou).
9/57 If they could find a refuge or cave or a place to enter into,they would certainly have turned thereto, running away in allhaste.
9/58 And of them there are those who blame you with respectto the alms; so if they are given from it they are pleased, and ifthey are not given from it, lo! they are full of rage.
9/59 And if they were content with what Allah and His Messengergave them, and had said: Allah is sufficient for us; Allah willsoon give us (more) out of His grace and His Messenger too; surelyto Allah do we make our petition.
9/60 Alms are only for the poor and the needy, and the officials(appointed) over them, and those whose hearts are made toincline (to truth) and the (ransoming of) captives and those indebts and in the way of Allah and the wayfarer; an ordinancefrom Allah; and Allah is knowing, Wise.
9/61 And there are some of them who molest the Prophet andsay: He is one who believes every thing that he hears; say: Ahearer of good for you (who) believes in Allah and believes thefaithful and a mercy for those of you who believe; and (as for)those who molest the Messenger of Allah, they shall have a painfulpunishment.
9/62 They swear to you by Allah that they might please youand, Allah, as well as His Messenger, has a greater right that theyshould please Him, if they are believers.
9/63 Do they not know that whoever acts in opposition toAllah and His Messenger, he shall surely have the fire of hell toabide in it? That is the grievous abasement.
9/64 The hypocrites fear lest a chapter should be sent down tothem telling them plainly of what is in their hearts. Say: Go onmocking, surely Allah will bring forth what you fear.
9/65 And if you should question them, they would certainlysay: We were only idly discoursing and sporting. Say: Was it atAllah and His communications and His Messenger that you mocked?
9/66 Do not make excuses; you have denied indeed after youhad believed; if We pardon a party of you, We will chastise(another) party because they are guilty.
9/67 The hypocritical men and the hypocritical women are allalike; they enjoin evil and forbid good and withhold their hands;they have forsaken Allah, so He has forsaken them; surely thehypocrites are the transgressors.
9/68 Allah has promised the hypocritical men and the hypocriticalwomen and the unbelievers the fire of hell to abidetherein; it is enough for them; and Allah has cursed them andthey shall have lasting punishment.
9/69 Like those before you; they were stronger than you inpower and more abundant in wealth and children, so they enjoyedtheir portion; thus have you enjoyed your portion as thosebefore you enjoyed their portion; and you entered into vaindiscourses like the vain discourses in which entered those beforeyou. These are they whose works are null in this world and thehereafter, and these are they who are the losers.
9/70 Has not the news of those before them come to them; ofthe people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and the people ofIbrahim and the dwellers of Madyan and the overthrown cities;their messengers came to them with clear arguments; so it was notAllah Who should do them injustice, but they were unjust tothemselves.
9/71 And (as for) the believing men and the believing women,they are guardians of each other; they enjoin good and forbidevil and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allahand His Messenger; (as for) these, Allah will show mercy to them;surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
9/72 Allah has promised to the believing men and the believingwomen gardens, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them,and goodly dwellings in gardens of perpetual abode; and best ofall is Allah's goodly pleasure; that is the grand achievement.
9/73 O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and thehypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell,and evil is the destination.
9/74 They swear by Allah that they did not speak, and certainlythey did speak, the word of unbelief, and disbelieved after theirIslam, and they had determined upon what they have not beenable to effect, and they did not find fault except because Allahand His Messenger enriched them out of His grace; therefore if theyrepent, it will be good for them; and if they turn back, Allah willchastise them with a painful chastisement in this world and thehereafter, and they shall not have in the land any guardian or ahelper.
9/75 And there are those of them who made a covenant withAllah: If He give us out of His grace, we will certainly give almsand we will certainly be of the good.
9/76 But when He gave them out of His grace, they becameniggardly of it and they turned back and they withdrew.
9/77 So He made hypocrisy to follow as a consequence intotheir hearts till the day when they shall meet Him because theyfailed to perform towards Allah what they had promised withHim and because they told lies.
9/78 Do they not know that Allah knows their hidden thoughtsand their secret counsels, and that Allah is the great Knower ofthe unseen things?
9/79 They who taunt those of the faithful who give their almsfreely, and those who give to the extent of their earnings andscoff at them; Allah will pay them back their scoffing, and theyshall have a painful chastisement.
9/80 Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness forthem; even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allahwill not forgive them; this is because they disbelieve in Allah andHis Messenger, and Allah does not guide the transgressing people.
9/81 Those who were left behind were glad on account of theirsitting behind Allah's Messenger and they were averse from strivingm Allah's way with their property and their persons, and said:Do not go forth in the heat. Say: The fire of hell is much severein heat. Would that they understood (it).
9/82 Therefore they shall laugh little and weep much as arecompense for what they earned.
9/83 Therefore if Allah brings you back to a party of themand then they ask your permission to go forth, say: By no meansshall you ever go forth with me and by no means shall you fightan enemy with me; surely you chose to sit the first time, thereforesit (now) with those who remain behind.
9/84 And never offer prayer for any one of them who dies anddo not stand by his grave; surely they disbelieve in Allah and HisMessenger and they shall die in transgression.
9/85 And let not their property and their children excite youradmlration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in thisworld and (that) their souls may depart while they areunbelievers
9/86 And whenever a chapter is revealed, saying: Believe inAllah and strive hard along with His Messenger, those havingampleness of means ask permission of you and say: Leave us(behind), that we may be with those who sit.
9/87 They preferred to be with those who remained behind,and a seal is set on their hearts so they do not understand.
9/88 But the Messenger and those who believe with him strivehard with their property and their persons; and these it is whoshall have the good things and these it is who shall besuccessful.
9/89 Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which riversflow, to abide in them; that is the great achievement.
9/90 And the defaulters from among the dwellers of the desertcame that permission may be given to them and they sat (athome) who lied to Allah and His Messenger; a painful chastisementshall afflict those of them who disbelieved.
9/91 It shall be no crime in the weak, nor in the sick, nor inthose who do not find what they should spend (to stay behind),so long as they are sincere to Allah and His Messenger; there is noway (to blame) against the doers of good; and Allah is Forgiving,Merciful;
9/92 Nor in those who when they came to you that you mightcarry them, you said: I cannot find that on which to carry you;they went back while their eyes overflowed with tears on accountof grief for not finding that which they should spend.
9/93 The way (to blame) is only against those who ask permissionof you though they are rich; they have chosen to be withthose who remained behind, and Allah has set a seal upon theirhearts so they do not know.
9/94 They will excuse themselves to you when you go back tothem. Say: Urge no excuse, by no means will we believe you;indeed Allah has informed us of matters relating to you; andnow Allah and His Messenger will see your doings, then you shallbe brought back to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, thenHe will inform you of what you did.
9/95 They will swear to you by Allah when you return to themso that you may turn aside from them; so do turn aside fromthem; surely they are unclean and their abode is hell; a recompensefor what they earned.
9/96 They will swear to you that you may be pleased withthem; but if you are pleased with them, yet surely Allah is notpleased with the transgressing people.
9/97 The dwellers of the desert are very hard in unbelief andhypocrisy, and more disposed not to know the limits of whatAllah has revealed to His Messenger; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
9/98 And of the dwellers of the desert are those who take whatthey spend to be a fine, and they wait (the befalling of) calamitiesto you; on them (will be) the evil calamity; and Allah is Hearing,Knowing.
9/99 And of the dwellers of the desert are those who believe inAllah and the latter day and take what they spend to be (meansof) the nearness of Allah and the Messenger's prayers; surely it shallbe means of nearness for them; Allah will make them enter intoHis mercy; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
9/100 And (as for) the foremost, the first of the Muhajirs andthe Ansars, and those who followed them in goodness, Allah iswell pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, andHe has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flOw, toabide in them for ever; that is the mighty achievement.
9/101 And from among those who are round about you of thedwellers of the desert there are hypocrites, and from among thepeople of Medina (also); they are stubborn in hypocrisy; you donot know them; We know them; We will chastise them twicethen shall they be turned back to a grievous chastisement
9/102 And others have confessed their faults, they have mingleda good deed and an evil one; may be Allah will turn to them(mercifully); surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
9/103 Take alms out of their property, you would cleanse themand purify them thereby, and pray for them; surely your prayeris a relief to them; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
9/104 Do they not know that Allah accepts repentance fromHis servants and takes the alms, and that Allah is the Oft-returning(to mercy), the Merciful?
9/105 And say: Work; so Allah will see your work and (so will)His Messenger and the believers; and you shall be brought back tothe Knower of the unseen and the seen, then He will inform youof what you did.
9/106 And others are made to await Allah's command, whetherHe chastise them or whether He turn to them (mercifully), andAllah is Knowing, Wise.
9/107 And those who built a masjid to cause harm and forunbelief and to cause disunion among the believers and anambush to him who made war against Allah and His Messengerbefore; and they will certainly swear: We did not desire aughtbut good; and Allah bears witness that they are most surelyliars.
9/108 Never stand in it; certainly a masjid founded on pietyfrom the very first day is more deserving that you should standin it; in it are men who love that they should be purified; andAllah loves those who purify themselves.
9/109 Is he, therefore, better who lays his foundation on fear ofAllah and (His) good pleasure, or he who lays his foundation onthe edge of a cracking hollowed bank, so it broke down with himinto the fire of hell; and Allah does not guide the unjustpeople.
9/110 The building which they have built will ever continue tobe a source of disquiet in their hearts, except that their hearts getcut into pieces; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
9/111 Surely Allah has bought of the believers their personsand their property for this, that they shall have the garden; theyfight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise whichis binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran;and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoicetherefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is themighty achievement.
9/112 They who turn (to Allah), who serve (Him), who praise(Him), who fast, who bow down, who prostrate themselves, whoenjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and who keep thelimits of Allah; and give good news to the believers.
9/113 It is not (fit) for the Prophet and those who believe thatthey should ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even though theyshould be near relatives, after it has become clear to them thatthey are inmates of the flaming fire.
9/114 And Ibrahim asking forgiveness for his sire was onlyowing to a promise which he had made to him; but when itbecame clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he declaredhimself to be clear of him; most surely Ibrahim was very tender-heartedforbearing.
9/115 It is not (attributable to) Allah that He should lead apeople astray after He has guided them; He even makes clear tothem what they should guard against; surely Allah knows allthings.
9/116 Surely Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and theearth; He brings to life and causes to die; and there is not for youbesides Allah any Guardian or Helper.
9/117 Certainly Allah has turned (mercifully) to the Prophetand those who fled (their homes) and the helpers who followedhim in the hour of straitness after the hearts of a part of themwere about to deviate, then He turned to them (mercifully);surely to them He is Compassionate, Merciful.
9/118 And to the three who were left behind, until the earthbecame strait to them notwithstanding its spaciousness and theirsouls were also straitened to them; and they knew it for certainthat there was no refuge from Allah but in Him; then He turnedto them (mercifully) that they might turn (to Him); surely Allahis the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.
9/119 O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allahand be with the true ones.
9/120 It did not beseem the people of Medina and those roundabout them of the dwellers of the desert to remain behind theMessenger of Allah, nor should they desire (anything) for themselvesin preference to him; this is because there afflicts them notthirst or fatigue or hunger in Allah's way, nor do they tread apath which enrages the unbelievers, nor do they attain from theenemy what they attain, but a good work is written down tothem on account of it; surely Allah does not waste the reward ofthe doers of good;
9/121 Nor do they spend anything that may be spent, small orgreat, nor do they traverse a valley, but it is written down to theircredit, that Allah may reward them with the best of what theyhave done.
9/122 And it does not beseem the believers that they should goforth all together; why should not then a company from everyparty from among them go forth that they may apply themselvesto obtain understanding in religion, and that they may warntheir people when they come back to them that they may becautious?
9/123 O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who arenear to you and let them find in you hardness; and know thatAllah is with those who guard (against evil).
9/124 And whenever a chapter is revealed, there are some ofthem who say: Which of you has it strengthened in faith? Thenas for those who believe, it strengthens them in faith and theyrejoice.
9/125 And as for those in whose hearts is a disease, it addsuncleanness to their uncleanness and they die while they areunbelievers.
9/126 Do they not see that they are tried once or twice in everyyear, yet they do not turn (to Allah) nor do they mind.
9/127 And whenever a chapter is revealed, they cast glances atone another: Does any one see you? Then they turn away: Allahhas turned away their hearts because they are a people who donot understand.
9/128 Certainly a Messenger has come to you from among yourselves;grievous to him is your falling into distress, excessivelysolicitous respecting you; to the believers (he is)compassionate,
9/129 But if they turn back, say: Allah is sufficient for me,there is no god but He; on Him do I rely, and He is the Lord ofmighty power.
10/1 Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the wise Book.
10/2 What! is it a wonder to the people that We revealed to aman from among themselves, saying: Warn the people and givegood news to those who believe that theirs is a footing offirmness with their Lord. The unbelievers say: This is mostsurely a manifest enchanter.
10/3 Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens andthe earth in six periods, and He is firm in power, regulating theaffair, there is no intercessor except aher His permission; this isAllah, your Lord, therefore serve Him; will you not then mind?
10/4 To Him is your return, of all (of you); the promise of Allah(made) in truth; surely He begins the creation in the first mstance,then He reproduces it, that He may with justice recompensethose who believe and do good; and (as for) those whodisbelieve, they shall have a drink of hot water and painfulpunishment because they disbelieved.
10/5 He it is Who made the sun a shining brightness and themoon a light, and ordained for it mansions that you might knowthe computation of years and the reckoning. Allah did not createit but with truth; He makes the signs manifest for a people who
10/6 Most surely in the variation of the night and the day, andwhat Allah has created in the heavens and the earth, there aresigns for a people who guard (against evil).
10/7 Surely those who do not hope in Our meeting and arepleased with this world's life and are content with it, and thosewho are heedless of Our communications:
10/8 (As for) those, their abode is the fire because of what theyearned.
10/9 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, their Lordwill guide them by their faith; there shall flOw from beneaththem rivers in gardens of bliss.
10/10 Their cry in it shall be: Glory to Thee, O Allah! and theirgreeting in it shall be: Peace; and the last of their cry shall be:Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
10/11 And if Allah should hasten the evil to men as they desirethe hastening on of good, their doom should certainly have beendecreed for them; but We leave those alone who hope not forOur meeting in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
10/12 And when affliction touches a man, he calls on Us, whetherlying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove hisaffliction from him, he passes on as though he had never calledon Us on account of an affliction that touched him; thus thatwhich they do is made fair-seeming to the extravagant.
10/13 And certainly We did destroy generations before youwhen they were unjust, and their messengers had come to them withclear arguments, and they would not believe; thus do We recompensethe guilty people.
10/14 Then We made you successors in the land after them sothat We may see how you act.
10/15 And when Our clear communications are recited to them,those who hope not for Our meeting say: Bring a Quran otherthan this or change it. Say: It does not beseem me that I shouldchange it of myself; I follow naught but what is revealed to me;surely I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a mightyday.
10/16 Say: If Allah had desired (otherwise) I would not haverecited it to you, nor would He have taught it to you; indeed Ihave lived a lifetime among you before it; do you not thenunderstand?
10/17 Who is then more unjust than who forges a lie againstAllah or (who) gives the lie to His communications? Surely theguilty shall not be successful.
10/18 And they serve beside Allah what can neither harm themnor profit them, and they say: These are our intercessors withAllah. Say: Do you (presume to) inform Allah of what Heknows not in the heavens and the earth? Glory be to Him, andsupremely exalted is He above what they set up (with Him).
10/19 And people are naught but a single nation, so they disagree;and had not a word already gone forth from your Lord,the matter would have certainly been decided between them inrespect of that concerning which they disagree.
10/20 And they say: Why is not a sign sent to him from hisLord? Say: The unseen is only for Allah; therefore wait-- surely Itoo, with you am of those who wait.
10/21 And when We make people taste of mercy after an afflictiontouches them, lo ! they devise plans against Our communication.Say: Allah is quicker to plan; surely Our messengers writedown what you plan.
10/22 He it is Who makes you travel by land and sea; until whenyou are in the ships, and they sail on with them in a pleasantbreeze, and they rejoice, a violent wind overtakes them and thebillows surge in on them from all sides, and they become certainthat they are encompassed about, they pray to Allah, beingsincere to Him in obedience: If Thou dost deliver us from this,we will most certainly be of the grateful ones.
10/23 But when He delivers them, lo! they are unjustly rebelliousin the earth. O men! your rebellion is against your ownsouls-- provision (only) of this world's life-- then to Us shall beyour return, so We will inform you of what you did.
10/24 The likeness of this world's life is only as water which Wesend down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth ofwhich men and cattle eat grows luxuriantly thereby, until whenthe earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished,and its people think that they have power over it, Our commandcomes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed;produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thusdo We make clear the communications for a people who reflect.
10/25 And Allah invites to the abode of peace and guides whomHe pleases into the right path.
10/26 For those who do good is good (reward) and more (thanthis); and blackness or ignominy shall not cover their faces; theseare the dwellers of the garden; in it they shall abide.
10/27 And (as for) those who have earned evil, the punishmentof an evil is the like of it, and abasement shall come upon them--they shall have none to protect them from Allah-- as if theirfaces had been covered with slices of the dense darkness of night;these are the inmates of the fire; in it they shall abide.
10/28 And on the day when We will gather them all together,then We will say to those who associated others (with Allah):Keep where you are, you and your associates; then We shallseparate them widely one from another and their associateswould say: It was not us that you served:
10/29 Therefore Allah is sufficient as a witness between us andyou that we were quite unaware of your serving (us).
10/30 There shall every soul become acquainted with what itsent before, and they shall be brought back to Allah, their truePatron, and what they devised shall escape from them.
10/31 Say: Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and theearth? Or Who controls the hearing and the sight? And Whobrings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the deadfrom the living? And Who regulates the affairs? Then they willsay: Allah. Say then: Will you not then guard (against evil)?
10/32 This then is Allah, your true Lord; and what is there afterthe truth but error; how are you then turned back?
10/33 Thus does the word of your Lord prove true against thosewho transgress that they do not believe.
10/34 Say: Is there any one among your associates who canbring into existence the creation in the first instance, then reproduceit? Say: Allah brings the creation into existence, then Hereproduces it; how are you then turned away?
10/35 Say: Is there any of your associates who guides to thetruth? Say: Allah guides to the truth. Is He then Who guides tothe truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself doesnot go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter withyou; how do you judge?
10/36 And most of them do not follow (anything) but conjecture;surely conjecture will not avail aught against the truth;surely Allah is cognizant of what they do.
10/37 And this Quran is not such as could be forged by thosebesides Allah, but it is a verification of that which is before it anda clear explanation of the book, there is no doubt in it, from theLord of the worlds.
10/38 Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: Then bring achapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah, if youare truthful.
10/39 Nay, they reject that of which they have no comprehensiveknowledge, and the final sequel of it has not yet come to them;even thus did those before them reject (the truth); see then whatwas the end of the unjust.
10/40 And of them is he who believes in it, and of them is hewho does not believe in it, and your Lord best knows themischief-makers.
10/41 And if they call you a liar, say: My work is for me andyour work for you; you are clear of what I do and I am clear ofwhat you do.
10/42 And there are those of them who hear you, but can youmake the deaf to hear though they will not understand?
10/43 And there are those of them who look at you, but can youshow the way to the blind though they will not see?
10/44 Surely Allah does not do any injustice to men, but menare unjust to themselves.
10/45 And on the day when He will gather them as though theyhad not stayed but an hour of the day, they will know eachother. They will perish indeed who called the meeting with Allahto be a lie, and they are not followers of the right direction.
10/46 And if We show you something of what We threaten themwith, or cause you to die, yet to Us is their return, and Allah isthe bearer of witness to what they do.
10/47 And every nation had a messenger; so when their messengercame, the matter was decided between them with justice and theyshall not be dealt with unjustly.
10/48 And they say: When will this threat come about, if you aretruthful?
10/49 Say: I do not control for myself any harm, or any benefitexcept what Allah pleases; every nation has a term; when theirterm comes, they shall not then remain behind for an hour, norcan they go before (their time).
10/50 Say: Tell me if His punishment overtakes you by night orby day! what then is there of it that the guilty would hasten on?
10/51 And when it comes to pass, will you believe in it? What!now (you believe), and already you wished to have it hastened on.
10/52 Then it shall be said to those who were unjust: Tasteabiding chastisement; you are not requited except for what youearned.
10/53 And they ask you: Is that true? Say: Aye! by my Lord! it ismost surely the truth, and you will not escape.
10/54 And if every soul that has done injustice had all that is inthe earth, it would offer it for ransom, and they will manifestregret when they see the chastisement and the matter shall bedecided between them with justice and they shall not be dealtwith unjustly.
10/55 Now surely Allah's is what is in the heavens and the earth;now surely Allah's promise is true, but most of them do notknow.
10/56 He gives life and causes death, and to Him you shall bebrought back.
10/57 O men! there has come to you indeed an admonition fromyour Lord and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidanceand a mercy for the believers.
10/58 Say: In the grace of Allah and in His mercy-- in that theyshould rejoice; it is better than that which they gather.
10/59 Say: Tell me what Allah has sent down for you of sustenance,then you make (a part) of it unlawful and (a part)lawful. Say: Has Allah commanded you, or do you forge a lieagainst Allah?
10/60 And what will be the thought of those who forge liesagainst Allah on the day of resurrection? Most surely Allah isthe Lord of grace towards men, but most of them do not givethanks.
10/61 And you are not (engaged) in any affair, nor do you reciteconcerning it any portion of the Quran, nor do you do any workbut We are witnesses over you when you enter into it, and theredoes not lie concealed from your Lord the weight of an atom inthe earth or in the heaven, nor any thing less than that norgreater, but it is in a clear book.
10/62 Now surely the friends of Allah-- they shall have no fearnor shall they grieve.
10/63 Those who believe and guarded (against evil):
10/64 They shall have good news in this world's life and in thehereafter; there is no changing the words of Allah; that is themighty achievement.
10/65 And let not their speech grieve you; surely might is whollyAllah's; He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
10/66 Now, surely, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is inthe earth is Allah's; and they do not (really) follow any associates,who call on others besides Allah; they do not follow(anything) but conjectures, and they only lie.
10/67 He it is Who made for you the night that you might rest init, and the day giving light; most surely there are signs in it for apeople who would hear.
10/68 They say: Allah has taken a son (to Himself)! Glory be toHim: He is the Self-sufficient: His is what is in the heavens andwhat is in the earth; you have no authority for this; do you sayagainst Allah what you do not know?
10/69 Say: Those who forge a lie against Allah shall not besuccessful.
10/70 (It is only) a provision in this world, then to Us shall betheir return; then We shall make them taste severe punishmentbecause they disbelieved.
10/71 And recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to hispeople: O my people! if my stay and my reminding (you) by thecommunications of Allah is hard on you-- yet on Allah do Irely-- then resolve upon your affair and (gather) your associates,then let not your affair remain dubious to you, then have itexecuted against me and give me no respite:
10/72 But if you turn back, I did not ask for any reward fromyou; my reward is only with Allah, and I am commanded that Ishould be of those who submit.
10/73 But they rejected him, so We delivered him and those withhim in the ark, and We made them rulers and drowned thosewho rejected Our communications; see then what was the end ofthe (people) warned.
10/74 Then did We raise up after him messengers to their people, sothey came to them with clear arguments, but they would notbelieve in what they had rejected before; thus it is that We setseals upon the hearts of those who exceed the limits.
10/75 Then did We send up after them Musa and Haroun toFiron and his chiefs with Our signs, but they showed pride andthey were a guilty people.
10/76 So when the truth came to them from Us they said: This ismost surely clear enchantment!
10/77 Musa said: Do you say (this) of the truth when it has cometo you? Is it magic? And the magicians are not successful.
10/78 They said: Have you come to us to turn us away fromwhat we found our fathers upon, and (that) greatness in the landshould be for you two? And we are not going to believe in you.
10/79 And Firon said: Bring to me every skillful magician.
10/80 And when the magicians came, Musa said to them: Castdown what you have to cast.
10/81 So when they cast down, Musa said to them: What youhave brought is deception; surely Allah will make it naught;surely Allah does not make the work of mischief-makers tothrive.
10/82 And Allah will show the truth to be the truth by Hiswords, though the guilty may be averse (to it).
10/83 But none believed in Musa except the offspring of hispeople, on account of the fear of Firon and their chiefs, lest heshould persecute them; and most surely Firon was lofty in theland; and most surely he was of the extravagant.
10/84 And Musa said: O my people! if you believe in Allah, thenrely on Him (alone) if you submit (to Allah).
10/85 So they said: On Allah we rely: O our Lord! make us notsubject to the persecution of the unjust people:
10/86 And do Thou deliver us by Thy mercy from the unbelievingpeople.
10/87 And We revealed to Musa and his brother, saying: Takefor your people houses to abide in Egypt and make your housesplaces of worship and keep up prayer and give good news to thebelievers.
10/88 And Musa said: Our Lord! surely Thou hast given toFiron and his chiefs finery and riches in this world's life, to thisend, our Lord, that they lead (people) astray from Thy way: OurLord! destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that theybelieve not until they see the painful punishment.
10/89 He said: The prayer of you both has indeed been accepted,therefore continue in the right way and do not follow the path ofthose who do not know.
10/90 And We made the children of Israel to pass through thesea, then Firon and his hosts followed them for oppression andtyranny; until when drowning overtook him, he said: I believethat there is no god but He in Whom the children of Israelbelieve and I am of those who submit.
10/91 What! now! and indeed you disobeyed before and youwere of the mischief-makers.
10/92 But We will this day deliver you with your body that youmay be a sign to those after you, and most surely the majority ofthe people are heedless to Our communications.
10/93 And certainly We lodged the children of Israel in a goodlyabode and We provided them with good things; but they did notdisagree until the knowledge had come to them; surely yourLord will judge between them on the resurrection day concerningthat in which they disagreed.
10/94 But if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed toyou, ask those who read the Book before you; certainly the truthhas come to you from your Lord, therefore you should not be ofthe disputers.
10/95 And you should not be of those who reject the communicationsof Allah, (for) then you should be one of the losers.
10/96 Surely those against whom the word of your Lord hasproved true will not believe,
10/97 Though every sign should come to them, until they witnessthe painful chastisement.
10/98 And wherefore was there not a town which should believeso that their belief should have profited them but the people ofYunus? When they believed, We removed from them the chastisementof disgrace in this world's life and We gave them provisiontill a time.
10/99 And if your Lord had pleased, surely all those who are inthe earth would have believed, all of them; will you then forcemen till they become believers?
10/100 And it is not for a soul to believe except by Allah'spermission; and He casts uncleanness on those who will notunderstand.
10/101 Say: Consider what is it that is in the heavens and theearth; and signs and warners do not avail a people who wouldnot believe.
10/102 What do they wait for then but the like of the days ofthose who passed away before them? Say: Wait then; surely I tooam with you of those who wait.
10/103 Then We deliver Our messengers and those who believe--even so (now), it is binding on Us (that) We deliver thebelievers.
10/104 Say: O people! if you are in doubt as to my religion, then(know that) I do not serve those whom you serve besides Allahbut I do serve Allah, Who will cause you to die, and I amcommanded that I should be of the believers.
10/105 And that you should keep your course towards the religionuprightly; and you should not be of the polytheists.
10/106 And do not call besides Allah on that which can neitherbenefit you nor harm you, for if you do then surely you will inthat case be of the unjust.
10/107 And if Allah should afflict you with harm, then there isnone to remove it but He; and if He intends good to you there isnone to repel His grace; He brings it to whom He pleases of Hisservants; and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
10/108 Say: O people! indeed there has come to you the truthfrom your Lord, therefore whoever goes aright, he goes arightonly for the good of his own soul, and whoever goes astray, hegoes astray only to the detriment of it, and I am not a custodianover you.
10/109 And follow what is revealed to you and be patient tillAllah should give judgment, and He is the best of the judges.
11/1 Alif Lam Ra (This is) a Book, whose verses are madedecisive, then are they made plain, from the Wise,All-aware:
11/2 That you shall not serve (any) but Allah; surely I am awarner for you from Him and a giver of good news,
11/3 And you that ask forgiveness of your Lord, then turn toHim; He will provide you with a goodly provision to anappointed term and bestow His grace on every one endowedwith grace, and if you turn back, then surely I fear for youthe chastisement of a great day.
11/4 To Allah is your return, and He has power over allthings.
11/5 Now surely they fold up their breasts that they mayconceal (their enmity) from Him; now surely, when they usetheir garments as a covering, He knows what they conceal andwhat they make public; surely He knows what is in thebreasts.
11/6 And there is no animal in the earth but on Allah is thesustenance of it, and He knows its resting place and itsdepository all (things) are in a manifest book.
11/7 And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in sixperiods-- and His dominion (extends) on the water-- that Hemight manifest to you, which of you is best in action, andif you say, surely you shall be raised up after death, thosewho disbelieve would certainly say: This is nothing butclear magic.
11/8 And if We hold back from them the punishment until astated period of time, they will certainly say: Whatprevents it? Now surely on the day when it will come tothem, it shall not be averted from them and that which theyscoffed at shall beset them.
11/9 And if We make man taste mercy from Us, then take it offfrom him, most surely he is despairing, ungrateful.
11/10 And if We make him taste a favor after distress hasafflicted him, he will certainly say: The evils are goneaway from me. Most surely he is exulting, boasting;
11/11 Except those who are patient and do good, they shallhave forgiveness and a great reward.
11/12 Then, it may be that you will give up part of what isrevealed to you and your breast will become straitened by itbecause they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down uponhim or an angel come with him? You are only a warner; andAllah is custodian over all things.
11/13 Or, do they say: He has forged it. Say: Then bring tenforged chapters like it and call upon whom you can besidesAllah, if you are truthful.
11/14 But if they do not answer you, then know that it isrevealed by Allah's knowledge and that there is no god butHe; will you then submit?
11/15 Whoever desires this world's life and its finery, Wewill pay them in full their deeds therein, and they shallnot be made to. suffer loss in respect of them.
11/16 These are they for whom there is nothing but fire in thehereafter, and what they wrought in it shall go for nothing,and vain is what they do.
11/17 Is he then who has with him clear proof from his Lord,and a witness from Him recites it and before it (is) theBook of Musa, a guide and a mercy? These believe in it; andwhoever of the (different) parties disbelieves in it, surelyit is the truth from your Lord, but most men do not believe.
11/18 And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie againstAllah? These shall be brought before their Lord, and thewitnesses shall say: These are they who lied against theirLord. Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust.
11/19 Who turn away from the path of Allah and desire to makeit crooked; and they are disbelievers in the hereafter.
11/20 These shall not escape in the earth, nor shall they haveany guardians besides Allah; the punishment shall be doubledfor them, they could not bear to hear and they did not see.
11/21 These are they who have lost their souls, and what theyforged is gone from them.
11/22 Truly in the hereafter they are the greatest losers.
11/23 Surely (as to) those who believe and do good and humblethemselves to their Lord, these are the dwellers of thegarden, in it they will abide.
11/24 The likeness of the two parties is as the blind and thedeaf and the seeing and the hearing: are they equal incondition? Will you not then mind?
11/25 And certainly We sent Nuh to his people: Surely I am aplain warner for you:
11/26 That you shall not serve any but Allah, surely I fearfor you the punishment of a painful day.
11/27 But the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among hispeople said: We do not consider you but a mortal likeourselves, and we do not see any have followed you but thosewho are the meanest of us at first thought and we do not seein you any excellence over us; nay, we deem you liars.
11/28 He said: O my people! tell me if I have with me clearproof from my Lord, and He has granted me mercy from Himselfand it has been made obscure to you; shall we constrain youto (accept) it while you are averse from it?
11/29 And, O my people! I ask you not for wealth in return forit; my reward is only with Allah and I am not going to driveaway those who believe; surely they shall meet their Lord,but I consider you a people who are ignorant:
11/30 And, O my people! who will help me against Allah if Idrive them away? Will you not then mind?
11/31 And I do not say to you that I have the treasures ofAllah and I do not know the unseen, nor do I say that I aman angel, nor do I say about those whom your eyes hold inmean estimation (that) Allah will never grant them (any)good-- Allah knows best what is in their souls-- for then mostsurely I should be of the unjust.
11/32 They said: O Nuh! indeed you have disputed with us andlengthened dispute with us, therefore bring to us what youthreaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones.
11/33 He said: Allah only will bring it to you if He please,and you will not escape:
11/34 And if I intend to give you good advice, my advice willnot profit you if Allah intended that He should leave you togo astray; He is your Lord, and to Him shall you bereturned.
11/35 Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: If I have forgedit, on me is my guilt, and I am clear of that of which youare guilty.
11/36 And it was revealed to Nuh: That none of your peoplewill believe except those who have already believed,therefore do not grieve at what they do:
11/37 And make the ark before Our eyes and (according to) Ourrevelation, and do not speak to Me in respect of those whoare unjust; surely they shall be drowned.
11/38 And he began to make the ark; and whenever the chiefsfrom among his people passed by him they laughed at him. Hesaid: If you laugh at us, surely we too laugh at you as youlaugh (at us).
11/39 So shall you know who it is on whom will come achastisement which will disgrace him, and on whom willlasting chastisement come down.
11/40 Until when Our command came and water came forth fromthe valley, We said: Carry in it two of all things, a pair,and your own family-- except those against whom the word hasalready gone forth, and those who believe. And therebelieved not with him but a few.
11/41 And he said: Embark in it, in the name of Allah be itssailing and its anchoring; most surely my Lord is Forgiving,Merciful.
11/42 And it moved on with them amid waves like mountains; andNuh called out to his son, and he was aloof: O my son!embark with us and be not with the unbelievers.
11/43 He said: I will betake myself for refuge to a mountainthat shall protect me from the water. Nuh said: There is noprotector today from Allah's punishment but He Who hasmercy; and a wave intervened between them, so he was of thedrowned.
11/44 And it was said: O earth, swallow down your water, and Ocloud, clear away; and the water was made to abate and theaffair was decided, and the ark rested on the Judi, and itwas said: Away with the unjust people.
11/45 And Nuh cried out to his Lord and said: My Lord! surelymy son is of my family, and Thy promise is surely true, andThou art the most just of the judges.
11/46 He said: O Nuh! surely he is not of your family; surelyhe is (the doer of) other than good deeds, therefore ask notof Me that of which you have no knowledge; surely I admonishyou lest you may be of the ignorant
11/47 He said: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from asking Theethat of which I have no knowledge; and if Thou shouldst notforgive me and have mercy on me, I should be of the losers.
11/48 It was said: O Nuh! descend with peace from Us andblessings on you and on the people from among those who arewith you, and there shall be nations whom We will affordprovisions, then a painful punishment from Us shall afflictthem.
11/49 These are announcements relating to the unseen which Wereveal to you, you did not know them-- (neither) you nor yourpeople-- before this; therefore be patient; surely the end isfor those who guard (against evil).
11/50 And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He said: O mypeople! serve Allah, you have no god other than He; you arenothing but forgers (of lies).
11/51 O my people! I do not ask of you any reward for it; myreward is only with Him Who created me; do you not thenunderstand?
11/52 And, O my people! ask forgiveness of your Lord, thenturn to Him; He will send on you clouds pouring downabundance of rain and add strength to your strength, and donot turn back guilty.
11/53 They said: O Hud! you have not brought to us any clearargument and we are not going to desert our gods for yourword, and we are not believers in you:
11/54 We cannot say aught but that some of our gods havesmitten you with evil. He said: Surely I call Allah towitness, and do you bear witness too, that I am clear ofwhat you associate (with Allah).
11/55 Besides Him, therefore scheme against me all together;then give me no respite:
11/56 Surely I rely on Allah, my Lord and your Lord; there isno living creature but He holds it by its forelock; surelymy Lord is on the right path.
11/57 But if you turn back, then indeed I have delivered toyou the message with which I have been sent to you, and myLord will bring another people in your place, and you cannotdo Him any harm; surely my Lord is the Preserver of allthings.
11/58 And when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Hud andthose who believed with him with mercy from Us, and Wedelivered them from a hard chastisement.
11/59 And this was Ad; they denied the communications of theirLord, and disobeyed His messengers and followed the bidding ofevery insolent opposer (of truth).
11/60 And they were overtaken by curse in this world and onthe resurrection day; now surely Ad disbelieved in theirLord; now surely, away with Ad, the people of Hud.
11/61 And to Samood (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: Omy people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He; Hebrought you into being from the earth, and made you dwell init, therefore ask forgiveness of Him, then turn to Him;surely my Lord is Nigh, Answering.
11/62 They said: O Salih! surely you were one amongst us inwhom great expectations were placed before this; do you(now) forbid us from worshipping what our fathersworshipped? And as to that which you call us to, most surelywe are in disquieting doubt.
11/63 He said: O my people! tell me if I have clear proof frommy Lord and He has granted to me mercy from Himself-- who willthen help me against Allah if I disobey Him? Therefore youdo not add to me other than loss:
11/64 And, O my people! this will be (as) Allah's she-camelfor you, a sign; therefore leave her to pasture on Allah'searth and do not touch her with evil, for then a nearchastisement will overtake you.
11/65 But they slew her, so he said: Enjoy yourselves in yourabode for three days, that is a promise not to be belied.
11/66 So when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Salih andthose who believed with him by mercy from Us, and (We savedthem) from the disgrace of that day; surely your Lord is theStrong, the Mighty.
11/67 And the rumbling overtook those who were unjust, so theybecame motionless bodies in their abodes,
11/68 As though they had never dwelt in them; now surely didSamood disbelieve in their Lord; now surely, away withSamood.
11/69 And certainly Our messengers came to Ibrahim with goodnews. They said: Peace. Peace, said he, and he made no delayin bringing a roasted calf.
11/70 But when he saw that their hands were not extendedtowards it, he deemed them strange and conceived fear ofthem. . They said: Fear not, surely we are sent to Lut'speople.
11/71 And his wife was standing (by), so she laughed, then Wegave her the good news of Ishaq and after Ishaq of (a son'sson) Yaqoub.
11/72 She said: O wonder! shall I bear a son when I am anextremely old woman and this my husband an extremely oldman? Most surely this is a wonderful thing.
11/73 They said: Do you wonder at Allah's bidding? The mercyof Allah and His blessings are on you, O people of thehouse, surely He is Praised, Glorious.
11/74 So when fear had gone away from Ibrahim and good newscame to him, he began to plead with Us for Lut's people.
11/75 Most surely Ibrahim was forbearing, tender-hearted,oft-returning (to Allah):
11/76 O Ibrahim! leave off this, surely the decree of yourLord has come to pass, and surely there must come to them achastisement that cannot be averted.
11/77 And when Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved forthem, and he lacked strength to protect them, and said: Thisis a hard day.
11/78 And his people came to him, (as if) rushed on towardshim, and already they did evil deeds. He said: O my people!these are my daughters-- they are purer for you, so guardagainst (the punishment of) Allah and do not disgrace mewith regard to my guests; is there not among you oneright-minded man?
11/79 They said: Certainly you know that we have no claim onyour daughters, and most surely you know what we desire.
11/80 He said: Ah! that I had power to suppress you, rather Ishall have recourse to a strong support.
11/81 They said: O Lut! we are the messengers of your Lord;they shall by no means reach you; so remove your followersin a part of the night-- and let none of you turn back-- exceptyour wife, for surely whatsoever befalls them shall befallher; surely their appointed time is the morning; is not themorning nigh?
11/82 So when Our decree came to pass, We turned them upsidedown and rained down upon them stones, of what had beendecreed, one after another.
11/83 Marked (for punishment) with your Lord and it is not faroff from the unjust.
11/84 And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said:O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He, anddo not give short measure and weight: surely I see you inprosperity and surely I fear for you the punishment of anall-encompassing day.
11/85 And, O my people! give full measure and weight fairly,and defraud not men their things, and do not act corruptlyin the land, making mischief:
11/86 What remains with Allah is better for you if you arebelievers, and I am not a keeper over you.
11/87 They said: O Shu'aib! does your prayer enjoin you thatwe should forsake what our fathers worshipped or that weshould not do what we please with regard to our property?Forsooth you are the forbearing, the right-directing one.
11/88 He said: O my people! have you considered if I have aclear proof from my Lord and He has given me a goodlysustenance from Himself, and I do not desire that inopposition to you I should betake myself to that which Iforbid you: I desire nothing but reform so far as I am able,and with none but Allah is the direction of my affair to aright issue; on Him do I rely and to Him do I turn:
11/89 And, O my people! let not opposition to me make youguilty so that there may befall you the like of what befellthe people of Nuh, or the people of Hud, or the people ofSalih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you;
11/90 And ask forgiveness of your Lord, then turn to Him;surely my Lord is Merciful, Loving-kind.
11/91 They said: O Shu'aib! we do not understand much of whatyou say and most surely we see you to be weak among us, andwere it not for your family we would surely stone you, andyou are not mighty against us.
11/92 He said: O my people! is my family more esteemed by youthan Allah? And you neglect Him as a thing cast behind yourback; surely my Lord encompasses what you do:
11/93 And, O my people! act according to your ability, I tooam acting; you will come to know soon who it is on whom willlight the punishment that will disgrace him and who it isthat is a liar, and watch, surely I too am watching withyou.
11/94 And when Our decree came to pass We delivered Shu'aib,and those who believed with him by mercy from Us, and therumbling overtook those who were unjust so they becamemotionless bodies in their abodes,
11/95 As though they had never dwelt in them; now surelyperdition overtook Madyan as had perished Samood.
11/96 And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications and aclear authority,
11/97 To Firon and his chiefs, but they followed the biddingof Firon, and Firon's bidding was not right-directing.
11/98 He shall lead his people on the resurrection day, andbring them down to the fire; and evil the place to whichthey are brought.
11/99 And they are overtaken by curse in this (world), and onthe resurrection day, evil the gift which shall be given.
11/100 This is an account of (the fate of) the towns which Werelate to you; of them are some that stand and (others) mowndown.
11/101 And We did not do them injustice, but they were unjustto themselves, so their gods whom they called upon besidesAllah did not avail them aught when the decree of your Lordcame to pass; and they added but to their ruin.
11/102 And such is the punishment of your Lord when Hepunishes the towns while they are unjust; surely Hispunishment is painful, severe.
11/103 Most surely there is a sign in this for him who fearsthe chastisement of the hereafter; this is a day on whichthe people shall be gathered together and this is a day thatshall be witnessed.
11/104 And We do not delay it but to an appointed term.
11/105 On the day when it shall come, no soul shall speakexcept with His permission, then (some) of them shall beunhappy and (others) happy.
11/106 So as to those who are unhappy, they shall be in thefire; for them shall be sighing and groaning in it:
11/107 Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earthendure, except as your Lord please; surely your Lord is themighty doer of what He intends.
11/108 And as to those who are made happy, they shall be inthe garden, abiding in it as long as the heavens and theearth endure, except as your Lord please; a gift which shallnever be cut off.
11/109 Therefore be not in doubt as to what these worship;they do not worship but as their fathers worshipped before;and most surely We will pay them back in full their portionundiminished.
11/110 And certainly We gave the book to Musa, but it was goneagainst; and had not a word gone forth from your Lord, thematter would surely have been decided between them; andsurely they are in a disquieting doubt about it.
11/111 And your Lord will most surely pay back to all theirdeeds in full; surely He is aware of what they do.
11/112 Continue then in the right way as you are commanded, asalso he who has turned (to Allah) with you, and be notinordinate (O men!), surely He sees what you do.
11/113 And do not incline to those who are unjust, lest thefire touch you, and you have no guardians besides Allah,then you shall not be helped.
11/114 And keep up prayer in the two parts of the day and inthe first hours of the night; surely good deeds take awayevil deeds this is a reminder to the mindful.
11/115 And be patient, for surely Allah does not waste thereward of the good-doers.
11/116 But why were there not among the generations before youthose possessing understanding, who should have forbiddenthe making of mischief in the earth, except a few of thosewhom We delivered from among them? And those who were unjustwent after what they are made to enjoy of plenty, and theywere guilty.
11/117 And it did not beseem your Lord to have destroyed thetowns tyrannously, while their people acted well.
11/118 And if your Lord had pleased He would certainly havemade people a single nation, and they shall continue todiffer.
11/119 Except those on whom your Lord has mercy; and for thisdid He create them; and the word of your Lord is fulfilled:Certainly I will fill hell with the jinn and the men, alltogether.
11/120 And all we relate to you of the accounts of themessengers is to strengthen your heart therewith; and in thishas come to you the truth and an admonition, and a reminderto the believers.
11/121 And say to those who do not believe: Act according toyour state; surely we too are acting.
11/122 And wait; surely we are waiting also.
11/123 And Allah's is the unseen in the heavens and the earth,and to Him is returned the whole of the affair; thereforeserve Him and rely on Him, and your Lord is not heedless ofwhat you do.
12/1 Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book that makes(things) manifest.
12/2 Surely We have revealed it-- an Arabic Quran-- that you mayunderstand.
12/3 We narrate to you the best of narratives, by Ourrevealing to you this Quran, though before this you werecertainly one of those who did not know.
12/4 When Yusuf said to his father: O my father! surely I saweleven stars and the sun and the moon-- I saw them makingobeisance to me.
12/5 He said: O my son! do not relate your vision to yourbrothers, lest they devise a plan against you; surely theShaitan is an open enemy to man.
12/6 And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you theinterpretation of sayings and make His favor complete to youand to the children of Yaqoub, as He made it complete beforeto your fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq; surely your Lord isKnowing, Wise.
12/7 Certainly in Yusuf and his brothers there are signs forthe inquirers.
12/8 When they said: Certainly Yusuf and his brother aredearer to our father than we, though we are a (stronger)company; most surely our father is in manifest error:
12/9 Slay Yusuf or cast him (forth) into some land, so thatyour father's regard may be exclusively for you, and afterthat you may be a righteous people.
12/10 A speaker from among them said: Do not slay Yusuf, andcast him down into the bottom of the pit if you must do(it), (so that) some of the travellers may pick him up.
12/11 They said: O our father! what reason have you that youdo not trust in us with respect to Yusuf? And most surely weare his sincere well-wishers:
12/12 Send him with us tomorrow that he may enjoy himself andsport, and surely we will guard him well.
12/13 He said: Surely it grieves me that you should take himoff, and I fear lest the wolf devour him while you areheedless of him.
12/14 They said: Surely if the wolf should devour himnotwithstanding that we are a (strong) company, we shouldthen certainly be losers.
12/15 So when they had gone off with him and agreed that theyshould put him down at the bottom of the pit, and Werevealed to him: You will most certainly inform them of thistheir affair while they do not perceive.
12/16 And they came to their father at nightfall, weeping.
12/17 They said: O our father! surely we went off racing andleft Yusuf by our goods, so the wolf devoured him, and youwill not believe us though we are truthful.
12/18 And they brought his shirt with false blood upon it. Hesaid: Nay, your souls have made the matter light for you,but patience is good and Allah is He Whose help is soughtfor against what you describe.
12/19 And there came travellers and they sent theirwater-drawer and he let down his bucket. He said: O goodnews! this is a youth; and they concealed him as an articleof merchandise, and Allah knew what they did.
12/20 And they sold him for a small price, a few pieces ofsilver, and they showed no desire for him.
12/21 And the Egyptian who bought him said to his wife: Givehim an honorable abode, maybe he will be useful to us, or wemay adopt him as a son. And thus did We establish Yusuf inthe land and that We might teach him the interpretation ofsayings; and Allah is the master of His affair, but mostpeople do not know.
12/22 And when he had attained his maturity, We gave himwisdom and knowledge: and thus do We reward those who dogood.
12/23 And she in whose house he was sought to make himselfyield (to her), and she made fast the doors and said: Comeforward. He said: I seek Allah's refuge, surely my Lord madegood my abode: Surely the unjust do not prosper.
12/24 And certainly she made for him, and he would have madefor her, were it not that he had seen the manifest evidenceof his Lord; thus (it was) that We might turn away from himevil and indecency, surely he was one of Our sincereservants.
12/25 And they both hastened to the door, and she rent hisshirt from behind and they met her husband at the door. Shesaid: What is the punishment of him who intends evil to yourwife except imprisonment or a painful chastisement?
12/26 He said: She sought to make me yield (to her); and awitness of her own family bore witness: If his shirt is rentfrom front, she speaks the truth and he is one of the liars:
12/27 And if his shirt is rent from behind, she tells a lieand he is one of the truthful.
12/28 So when he saw his shirt rent from behind, he said:Surely it is a guile of you women; surely your guile isgreat:
12/29 O Yusuf! turn aside from this; and (O my wife)! askforgiveness for your fault, surely you are one of thewrong-doers.
12/30 And women in the city said: The chiefs wife seeks herslave to yield himself (to her), surely he has affected herdeeply with (his) love; most surely we see her in manifesterror.
12/31 So when she heard of their sly talk she sent for themand prepared for them a repast, and gave each of them aknife, and said (to Yusuf): Come forth to them. So when theysaw him, they deemed him great, and cut their hands (inamazement), and said: Remote is Allah (from inperfection);this is not a mortal; this is but a noble angel.
12/32 She said: This is he with respect to whom you blamed me,and certainly I sought his yielding himself (to me), but heabstained, and if he does not do what I bid him, he shallcertainly be imprisoned, and he shall certainly be of thosewho are in a state of ignominy.
12/33 He said: My Lord! the prison house is dearer to me thanthat to which they invite me; and if Thou turn not awaytheir device from me, I will yearn towards them and become(one) of the ignorant.
12/34 Thereupon his Lord accepted his prayer and turned awaytheir guile from him; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
12/35 Then it occurred to them after they had seen the signsthat they should imprison him till a time.
12/36 And two youths entered the prison with him. One of themsaid: I saw myself pressing wine. And the other said: I sawmyself carrying bread on my head, of which birds ate. Informus of its interpretation; surely we see you to be of thedoers of good.
12/37 He said: There shall not come to you the food with whichyou are fed, but I will inform you both of itsinterpretation before it comes to you; this is of what myLord has taught me; surely I have forsaken the religion of apeople who do not believe in Allah, and they are deniers ofthe hereafter:
12/38 And I follow the religion of my fathers, Ibrahim andIshaq and Yaqoub; it beseems us not that we should associateaught with Allah; this is by Allah's grace upon us and onmankind, but most people do not give thanks:
12/39 O my two mates of the prison! are sundry lords better orAllah the One, the Supreme?
12/40 You do not serve besides Him but names which you havenamed, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent down anyauthority for them; judgment is only Allah's; He hascommanded that you shall not serve aught but Him; this isthe right religion but most people do not know:
12/41 O my two mates of the prison! as for one of you, heshall give his lord to drink wine; and as for the other, heshall be crucified, so that the birds shall eat from hishead, the matter is decreed concerning which you inquired.
12/42 And he said to him whom he knew would be delivered ofthe two: Remember me with your lord; but the Shaitan causedhim to forget mentioning (it) to his lord, so he remained inthe prison a few years.
12/43 And the king said: Surely I see seven fat kine whichseven lean ones devoured; and seven green ears and (seven)others dry: O chiefs! explain to me my dream, if you caninterpret the dream.
12/44 They said: Confused dreams, and we do not know theinterpretation of dreams.
12/45 And of the two (prisoners) he who had found deliveranceand remembered after a long time said: I will inform you ofits interpretation, so let me go:
12/46 Yusuf! O truthful one! explain to us seven fat kinewhich seven lean ones devoured, and seven green ears and(seven) others dry, that I may go back to the people so thatthey may know.
12/47 He said: You shall sow for seven years continuously,then what you reap leave it in its ear except a little ofwhich you eat.
12/48 Then there shall come after that seven years of hardshipwhich shall eat away all that you have beforehand laid up instore for them, except a little of what you shall havepreserved:
12/49 Then there will come after that a year in which peopleshall have rain and in which they shall press (grapes).
12/50 And the king said: Bring him to me. So when themessenger came to him, he said: Go back to your lord and askhim, what is the case of the women who cut their hands;surely my Lord knows their guile.
12/51 He said: How was your affair when you sought Yusuf toyield himself (to you)? They said: Remote is Allah (fromimperfection), we knew of no evil on his part. The chief'swife said: Now has the truth become established: I soughthim to yield himself (to me), and he is most surely of thetruthful ones.
12/52 This is that he might know that I have not beenunfaithful to him in secret and that Allah does not guidethe device of the unfaithful.
12/53 And I do not declare myself free, most surely (man's)self is wont to command (him to do) evil, except such as myLord has had mercy on, surely my Lord is Forgiving,Merciful.
12/54 And the king said: Bring him to me, I will choose himfor myself. So when he had spoken with him, he said: Surelyyou are in our presence today an honorable, a faithful one.
12/55 He said: Place me (in authority) over the treasures ofthe land, surely I am a good keeper, knowing well.
12/56 And thus did We give to Yusuf power in the land-- he hadmastery in it wherever he liked; We send down Our mercy onwhom We please, and We do not waste the reward of those whodo good.
12/57 And certainly the reward of the hereafter is much betterfor those who believe and guard (against evil).
12/58 And Yusuf's brothers came and went in to him, and heknew them, while they did not recognize him.
12/59 And when he furnished them with their provision, hesaid: Bring to me a brother of yours from your father; doyou not see that I give full measure and that I am the bestof hosts?
12/60 But if you do not bring him to me, you shall have nomeasure (of corn) from me, nor shall you come near me.
12/61 They said: We will strive to make his father yield inrespect of him, and we are sure to do (it).
12/62 And he said to his servants: Put their money into theirbags that they may recognize it when they go back to theirfamily, so that they may come back.
12/63 So when they returned to their father, they said: O ourfather, the measure is withheld from us, therefore send withus our brother, (so that) we may get the measure, and wewill most surely guard him.
12/64 He said: I cannot trust in you with respect to him,except as I trusted in you with respect to his brotherbefore; but Allah is the best Keeper, and He is the mostMerciful of the merciful ones.
12/65 And when they opened their goods, they found their moneyreturned to them. They said: O our father! what (more) canwe desire? This is our property returned to us, and we willbring corn for our family and guard our brother, and willhave in addition the measure of a camel (load); this is aneasy measure.
12/66 He said: I will by no means send him with you until yougive me a firm covenant in Allah's name that you will mostcertainly bring him back to me, unless you are completelysurrounded. And when they gave him their covenant, he said:Allah is the One in Whom trust is placed as regards what wesay.
12/67 And he said: O my sons ! do not (all) enter by one gateand enter by different gates and I cannot avail you aughtagainst Allah; judgment is only Allah's; on Him do I rely,and on Him let those who are reliant rely.
12/68 And when they had entered as their father had biddenthem, it did not avail them aught against Allah, but (it wasonly) a desire in the soul of Yaqoub which he satisfied; andsurely he was possessed of knowledge because We had givenhim knowledge, but most people do not know.
12/69 And when they went in to Yusuf. he lodged his brotherwith himself, saying: I am your brother, therefore grievenot at what they do.
12/70 So when he furnished them with their provisions,(someone) placed the drinking cup in his brother's bag. Thena crier cried out: O caravan! you are most surely thieves.
12/71 They said while they were facing them: What is it thatyou miss?
12/72 They said: We miss the king's drinking cup, and he whoshall bring it shall have a camel-load and I am responsiblefor it.
12/73 They said: By Allah! you know for certain that we havenot come to make mischief in the land, and we are notthieves.
12/74 They said: But what shall be the requital of this, ifyou are liars?
12/75 They said: The requital of this is that the person inwhose bag it is found shall himself be (held for) thesatisfaction thereof; thus do we punish the wrongdoers.
12/76 So he began with their sacks before the sack of hisbrother, then he brought it out from his brother's sack.Thus did We plan for the sake of Yusuf; it was not (lawful)that he should take his brother under the king's law unlessAllah pleased; We raise the degrees of whomsoever We please,and above every one possessed of knowledge is theAll-knowing one.
12/77 They said: If he steal, a brother of his did indeedsteal before; but Yusuf kept it secret in his heart and didnot disclose it to them. He said: You are in an evilcondition and Allah knows best what you state.
12/78 They said: O chief! he has a father, a very old man,therefore retain one of us in his stead; surely we see youto be of the doers of good.
12/79 He said: Allah protect us that we should seize otherthan him with whom we found our property, for then mostsurely we would be unjust.
12/80 Then when they despaired of him, they retired,conferring privately together. The eldest of them said: Doyou not know that your father took from you a covenant inAllah's name, and how you fell short of your duty withrespect to Yusuf before? Therefore I will by no means departfrom this land until my father permits me or Allah decidesfor me, and He is the best of the judges:
12/81 Go back to your father and say: O our father! surelyyour son committed theft, and we do not bear witness exceptto what we have known, and we could not keep watch over theunseen:
12/82 And inquire in the town in which we were and the caravanwith which we proceeded, and most surely we are truthful.
12/83 He (Yaqoub) said: Nay, your souls have made a matterlight for you, so patience is good; maybe Allah will bringthem all together to me; surely He is the Knowing, the Wise.
12/84 And he turned away from them, and said: O my sorrow forYusuf! and his eyes became white on account of the grief,and he was a repressor (of grief).
12/85 They said: By Allah! you will not cease to rememberYusuf until you are a prey to constant disease or (until)you are of those who perish.
12/86 He said: I only complain of my grief and sorrow toAllah, and I know from Allah what you do not know.
12/87 O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and hisbrother, and despair not of Allah's mercy; surely nonedespairs of Allah's mercy except the unbelieving people.
12/88 So when they came in to him, they said: O chief!distress has afflicted us and our family and we have broughtscanty money, so give us full measure and be charitable tous; surely Allah rewards the charitable.
12/89 He said: Do you know how you treated Yusuf and hisbrother when you were ignorant?
12/90 They said: Are you indeed Yusuf? He said: I am Yusuf andthis is my brother; Allah has indeed been gracious to us;surely he who guards (against evil) and is patient (isrewarded) for surely Allah does not waste the reward ofthose who do good.
12/91 They said: By Allah! now has Allah certainly chosen youover us, and we were certainly sinners.
12/92 He said: (There shall be) no reproof against you thisday; Allah may forgive you, and He is the most Merciful ofthe merciful.
12/93 Take this my shirt and cast it on my father's face, hewill (again) be able to see, and come to me with all yourfamilies.
12/94 And when the caravan had departed, their father said:Most surely I perceive the greatness of Yusuf, unless youpronounce me to be weak in judgment.
12/95 They said: By Allah, you are most surely in your olderror.
12/96 So when the bearer of good news came he cast it on hisface, so forthwith he regained his sight. He said: Did I notsay to you that I know from Allah what you do not know?
12/97 They said: O our father! ask forgiveness of our faultsfor us, surely we were sinners.
12/98 He said: I will ask for you forgiveness from my Lord;surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
12/99 Then when they came in to Yusuf, he took his parents tolodge with him and said: Enter safe into Egypt, if Allahplease.
12/100 And he raised his parents upon the throne and they felldown in prostration before him, and he said: O my father!this is the significance of my vision of old; my Lord hasindeed made it to be true; and He was indeed kind to me whenHe brought me forth from the prison and brought you from thedesert after the Shaitan had sown dissensions between me andmy brothers, surely my Lord is benignant to whom He pleases;surely He is the Knowing, the Wise.
12/101 My Lord! Thou hast given me of the kingdom and taughtme of the interpretation of sayings: Originator of theheavens and the earth! Thou art my guardian in this worldand the hereafter; make me die a muslim and join me with thegood.
12/102 This is of the announcements relating to the unseen(which) We reveal to you, and you were not with them whenthey resolved upon their affair, and they were devisingplans.
12/103 And most men will not believe though you desire iteagerly.
12/104 And you do not ask them for a reward for this; it isnothing but a reminder for all mankind.
12/105 And how many a sign in the heavens and the earth whichthey pass by, yet they turn aside from it.
12/106 And most of them do not believe in Allah withoutassociating others (with Him).
12/107 Do they then feel secure that there may come to them anextensive chastisement from Allah or (that) the hour maycome to them suddenly while they do not perceive?
12/108 Say: This is my way: I call to Allah, I and those whofollow me being certain, and glory be to Allah, and I am notone of the polytheists.
12/109 And We have not sent before you but men from (among)the people of the towns, to whom We sent revelations. Havethey not then travelled in the land and seen what was theend of those before them? And certainly the abode of thehereafter is best for those who guard (against evil); do younot then understand?
12/110 Until when the messengers despaired and the people becamesure that they were indeed told a lie, Our help came to themand whom We pleased was delivered; and Our punishment is notaverted from the guilty people.
12/111 In their histories there is certainly a lesson for menof understanding. It is not a narrative which could beforged, but a verification of what is before it and adistinct explanation of all things and a guide and a mercyto a people who believe.
13/1 Alif Lam Mim Ra. These are the verses of the Book; andthat which is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth,but most people do not believe.
13/2 Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillarsthat you see, and He is firm in power and He made the sunand the moon subservient (to you); each one pursues itscourse to an appointed time; He regulates the affair, makingclear the signs that you may be certain of meeting yourLord.
13/3 And He it is Who spread the earth and made in it firmmountains and rivers, and of all fruits He has made in ittwo kinds; He makes the night cover the day; most surelythere are signs in this for a people who reflect.
13/4 And in the earth there are tracts side by side andgardens of grapes and corn and palm trees having one rootand (others) having distinct roots-- they are watered with onewater, and We make some of them excel others in fruit; mostsurely there are signs in this for a people who understand.
13/5 And if you would wonder, then wondrous is their saying:What! when we are dust, shall we then certainly be in a newcreation? These are they who disbelieve in their Lord, andthese have chains on their necks, and they are the inmatesof the fire; in it they shall abide.
13/6 And they ask you to hasten on the evil before the good,and indeed there have been exemplary punishments beforethem; and most surely your Lord is the Lord of forgivenessto people, notwithstanding their injustice; and most surelyyour Lord is severe in requiting (evil).
13/7 And those who disbelieve say: Why has not a sign beensent down upon him from his Lord? You are only a warner and(there is) a guide for every people.
13/8 Allah knows what every female bears, and that of whichthe wombs fall short of completion and that in which theyincrease; and there is a measure with Him of everything.
13/9 The knower of the unseen and the seen, the Great, theMost High.
13/10 Alike (to Him) among you is he who conceals (his) wordsand he who speaks them openly, and he who hides himself bynight and (who) goes forth by day.
13/11 For his sake there are angels following one another,before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah'scommandment; surely Allah does not change the condition of apeople until they change their own condition; and when Allahintends evil to a people, there is no averting it, andbesides Him they have no protector.
13/12 He it is Who shows you the lightning causing fear andhope and (Who) brings up the heavy cloud.
13/13 And the thunder declares His glory with His praise, andthe angels too for awe of Him; and He sends the thunderboltsand smites with them whom He pleases, yet they disputeconcerning Allah, and He is mighty in prowess.
13/14 To Him is due the true prayer; and those whom they prayto besides Allah give them no answer, but (they are) likeone who stretches forth his two hands towards water that itmay reach his mouth, but it will not reach it; and theprayer of the unbelievers is only in error.
13/15 And whoever is in the heavens and the earth makesobeisance to Allah only, willingly and unwillingly, andtheir shadows too at morn and eve.
13/16 Say: Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?-- Say:Allah. Say: Do you take then besides Him guardians who donot control any profit or harm for themselves? Say: Are theblind and the seeing alike? Or can the darkness and thelight be equal? Or have they set up with Allah associateswho have created creation like His, so that what is createdbecame confused to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of allthings, and He is the One, the Supreme.
13/17 He sends down water from the cloud, then watercoursesflow (with water) according to their measure, and thetorrent bears along the swelling foam, and from what theymelt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments orapparatus arises a scum like it; thus does Allah comparetruth and falsehood; then as for the scum, it passes away asa worthless thing; and as for that which profits the people,it tarries in the earth; thus does Allah set forth parables.
13/18 For those who respond to their Lord is good; and (asfor) those who do not respond to Him, had they all that isin the earth and the like thereof with it they wouldcertainly offer it for a ransom. (As for) those, an evilreckoning shall be theirs and their abode is hell, and evilis the resting-place.
13/19 Is he then who knows that what has been revealed to youfrom your Lord is the truth like him who is blind? Onlythose possessed of understanding will mind,
13/20 Those who fulfil the promise of Allah and do not breakthe covenant,
13/21 And those who join that which Allah has bidden to bejoined and have awe of their Lord and fear the evilreckoning.
13/22 And those who are constant, seeking the pleasure oftheir Lord, and keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) outof what We have given them secretly and openly and repelevil with good; as for those, they shall have the (happy)issue of the abode
13/23 The gardens of perpetual abode which they will enteralong with those who do good from among their parents andtheir spouses and their offspring; and the angels will enterin upon them from every gate:
13/24 Peace be on you because you were constant, howexcellent, is then, the issue of the abode.
13/25 And those who break the covenant of Allah after itsconfirmation and cut asunder that which Allah has ordered tobe joined and make mischief in the land; (as for) those,upon them shall be curse and they shall have the evil(issue) of the abode.
13/26 Allah amplifies and straitens the means of subsistencefor whom He pleases; and they rejoice in this world's life,and this world's life is nothing compared with the hereafterbut a temporary enjoyment.
13/27 And those who disbelieve say: Why is not a sign sentdown upon him by his Lord? Say: Surely Allah makes him whowill go astray, and guides to Himself those who turn (toHim).
13/28 Those who believe and whose hearts are set at rest bythe remembrance of Allah; now surely by Allah's remembranceare the hearts set at rest.
13/29 (As for) those who believe and do good, a good finalstate shall be theirs and a goodly return.
13/30 And thus We have sent you among a nation before whichother nations have passed away, that you might recite tothem what We have revealed to you and (still) they deny theBeneficent Allah. Say: He is my Lord, there is no god but He;on Him do I rely and to Him is my return.
13/31 And even if there were a Quran with which the mountainswere made to pass away, or the earth were travelled overwith it, or the dead were made to speak thereby; nay! thecommandment is wholly Allah's, Have not yet those whobelieve known that if Allah please He would certainly guideall the people? And (as for) those who disbelieve, therewill not cease to afflict them because of what they do arepelling calamity, or it will alight close by their abodes,until the promise of Allah comes about; surely Allah willnot fail in (His) promise.
13/32 And messengers before you were certainly mocked at, but Igave respite to those who disbelieved, then I destroyedthem; how then was My requital (of evil)?
13/33 Is He then Who watches every soul as to what it earns?And yet they give associates to Allah! Say: Give them aname; nay, do you mean to inform Him of what He does notknow in the earth, or (do you affirm this) by an outwardsaying? Rather, their plans are made to appear fair-seemingto those who disbelieve, and they are kept back from thepath; and whom Allah makes err, he shall have no guide.
13/34 They shall have chastisement in this world's life, andthe chastisement of the hereafter is certainly moregrievous, and they shall have no protector against Allah.
13/35 A likeness of the garden which the righteous arepromised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and shadesare perpetual; this is the requital of those who guarded(against evil), and the requital of the unbelievers is thefire.
13/36 And those to whom We have given the Book rejoice in thatwhich has been revealed to you, and of the confederates aresome who deny a part of it. Say: I am only commanded that Ishould serve Allah and not associate anything with Him, toHim do I invite (you) and to Him is my return.
13/37 And thus have We revealed it, a true judgment in Arabic,and if you follow their low desires after what has come toyou of knowledge, you shall not have against Allah anyguardian or a protector.
13/38 And certainly We sent messengers before you and gave themwives and children, and it is not in (the power of) anmessenger to bring a sign except by Allah's permission; forevery term there is an appointment.
13/39 Allah makes to pass away and establishes what Hepleases, and with Him is the basis of the Book.
13/40 And We will either let you see part of what We threatenthem with or cause you to die, for only the delivery of themessage is (incumbent) on you, while calling (them) toaccount is Our (business).
13/41 Do they not see that We are bringing destruction uponthe land by curtailing it of its sides? And Allah pronouncesa doom-- there is no repeller of His decree, and He is swiftto take account.
13/42 And those before them did indeed make plans, but allplanning is Allah's; He knows what every soul earns, and theunbelievers shall come to know for whom is the (better)issue of the abode.
13/43 And those who disbelieve say: You are not a messenger.Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you andwhoever has knowledge of the Book.
14/1 Alif Lam Ra. (This is) a Book which We have revealed toyou that you may bring forth men, by their Lord's permissionfrom utter darkness into light-- to the way of the Mighty, thePraised One,
14/2 (Of) Allah, Whose is whatever is in the heavens andwhatever Is in the earth; and woe to the unbelievers onaccount of the severe chastisement,
14/3 (To) those who love this world's life more than thehereafter, and turn away from Allah's path and desire tomake it crooked; these are in a great error.
14/4 And We did not send any messenger but with the language ofhis people, so that he might explain to them clearly; thenAllah makes whom He pleases err and He guides whom Hepleases and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
14/5 And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications,saying: Bring forth your people from utter darkness intolight and remind them of the days of Allah; most surelythere are signs in this for every patient, grateful one.
14/6 And when Musa said to his people: Call to mind Allah'sfavor to you when He delivered you from Firon's people, whosubjected you to severe torment, and slew your sons andspared your women; and in this there was a great trial fromyour Lord.
14/7 And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, Iwould certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful,My chastisement is truly severe.
14/8 And Musa said: If you are ungrateful, you and those onearth all together, most surely Allah is Self-sufficient,Praised;
14/9 Has not the account reached you of those before you, ofthe people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and those after them?None knows them but Allah. Their messengers come to them withclear arguments, but they thrust their hands into theirmouths and said: Surely we deny that with which you aresent, and most surely we are in serious doubt as to that towhich you invite us.
14/10 Their messengers said: Is there doubt about Allah, theMaker of the heavens and the earth? He invites you toforgive you your faults and to respite you till an appointedterm. They said: You are nothing but mortals like us; youwish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship;bring us therefore some clear authority.
14/11 Their messengers said to them: We are nothing but mortalslike yourselves, but Allah bestows (His) favors on whom Hepleases of His servants, and it is not for us that we shouldbring you an authority except by Allah's permission; and onAllah should the believers rely.
14/12 And what reason have we that we should not rely onAllah? And He has indeed guided us in our ways; andcertainly we would bear with patience your persecution ofus; and on Allah should the reliant rely.
14/13 And those who disbelieved said to their messengers: Wewill most certainly drive you forth from our land, or elseyou shall come back into our religion. So their Lordrevealed to them: Most certainly We will destroy the unjust.
14/14 And most certainly We will settle you in the land afterthem; this is for him who fears standing in My presence andwho fears My threat.
14/15 And they asked for judgment and every insolent opposerwas disappointed:
14/16 Hell is before him and he shall be given to drink offestering water:
14/17 He will drink it little by little and will not be ableto swallow it agreeably, and death will come to him fromevery quarter, but he shall not die; and there shall bevehement chastisement before him.
14/18 The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: theiractions are like ashes on which the wind blows hard on astormy day; they shall not have power over any thing out ofwhat they have earned; this is the great error.
14/19 Do you not see that Allah created the heavens and theearth with truth? If He please He will take you off andbring a new creation,
14/20 And this is not difficult for Allah.
14/21 And they shall all come forth before Allah, then theweak shall say to those who were proud: Surely we were yourfollowers, can you therefore avert from us any part of thechastisement of Allah? They would say: If Allah had guidedus, we too would have guided you; it is the same to uswhether we are impatient (now) or patient, there is no placefor us to fly to.
14/22 And the Shaitan shall say after the affair is decided:Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth, and I gaveyou promises, then failed to keep them to you, and I had noauthority over you, except that I called you and you obeyedme, therefore do not blame me but blame yourselves: I cannotbe your aider (now) nor can you be my aiders; surely Idisbelieved in your associating me with Allah before; surelyit is the unjust that shall have the painful punishment.
14/23 And those who believe and do good are made to entergardens, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them bytheir Lord's permission; their greeting therein is, Peace.
14/24 Have you not considered how Allah sets forth a parableof a good word (being) like a good tree, whose root is firmand whose branches are in heaven,
14/25 Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission ofits Lord? And Allah sets forth parables for men that theymay be mindful.
14/26 And the parable of an evil word is as an evil treepulled up from the earth's surface; it has no stability.
14/27 Allah confirms those who believe with the sure word inthis world's life and in the hereafter, and Allah causes theunjust to go astray, and Allah does what He pleases.
14/28 Have you not seen those who have changed Allah's favorfor ungratefulness and made their people to alight into theabode of perdition
14/29 (Into j hell? They shall enter into it and an evil placeit is to settle in.
14/30 And they set up equals with Allah that they may lead(people) astray from His path. Say: Enjoy yourselves, forsurely your return is to the fire.
14/31 Say to My servants who believe that they should keep upprayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly andopenly before the coming of the day in which there shall beno bartering nor mutual befriending.
14/32 Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth andsent down water from the clouds, then brought forth with itfruits as a sustenance for you, and He has made the shipssubservient to you, that they might run their course in thesea by His command, and He has made the rivers subservientto you.
14/33 And He has made subservient to you the sun and the moonpursuing their courses, and He has made subservient to youthe night and the day.
14/34 And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if youcount Allah's favors, you will not be able to number them;most surely man is very unjust, very ungrateful.
14/35 And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! make this city secure,and save me and my sons from worshipping idols:
14/36 My Lord! surely they have led many men astray; thenwhoever follows me, he is surely of me, and whoever disobeysme, Thou surely arc Forgiving, Merciful:
14/37 O our Lord! surely I have settled a part of my offspringin a valley unproductive of fruit near Thy Sacred House, ourLord! that they may keep up prayer; therefore make thehearts of some people yearn towards them and provide themwith fruits; haply they may be grateful:
14/38 O our Lord! Surely Thou knowest what we hide and what wemake public, and nothing in the earth nor any thing inheaven is hidden from Allah:
14/39 Praise be to Allah, Who has given me in old age Ismailand Ishaq; most surely my Lord is the Hearer of prayer:
14/40 My Lord! make me keep up prayer and from my offspring(too), O our Lord, and accept my prayer:
14/41 O our Lord! grant me protection and my parents and thebelievers on the day when the reckoning shall come to pass!
14/42 And do not think Allah to be heedless of what the unjustdo; He only respites them to a day on which the eyes shallbe fixedly open,
14/43 Hastening forward, their heads upraised, their eyes notreverting to them and their hearts vacant.
14/44 And warn people of the day when the chastisement shallcome to them, then those who were unjust will say: O ourLord! respite us to a near term, (so) we shall respond toThy call and follow the messengers. What! did you not swearbefore (that) there will be no passing away for you!
14/45 And you dwell in the abodes of those who were unjust tothemselves, and it is clear to you how We dealt with themand We have made (them) examples to you.
14/46 And they have indeed planned their plan, but their planis with Allah, though their plan was such that the mountainsshould pass away thereby.
14/47 Therefore do not think Allah (to be one) failing in Hispromise to His messengers; surely Allah is Mighty, the Lord ofRetribution.
14/48 On the day when the earth shall be changed into adifferent earth, and the heavens (as well), and they shallcome forth before Allah, the One, the Supreme.
14/49 And you will see the guilty on that day linked togetherin chains.
14/50 Their shirts made of pitch and the fire covering theirfaces
14/51 That Allah may requite each soul (according to) what ithas earned; surely Allah is swift in reckoning.
14/52 This is a sufficient exposition for the people and thatthey may be warned thereby, and that they may know that Heis One Allah and that those possessed of understanding maymind.
15/1 Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book and (of) aQuran that makes (things) clear.
15/2 Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had beenMuslims.
15/3 Leave them that they may eat and enjoy themselves and(that) hope may beguile them, for they will soon know.
15/4 And never did We destroy a town but it had a term madeknown.
15/5 No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone(it).
15/6 And they say: O you to whom the Reminder has beenrevealed! you are most surely insane:
15/7 Why do you not bring to us the angels if you are of thetruthful ones?
15/8 We do not send the angels but with truth, and then theywould not be respited.
15/9 Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will mostsurely be its guardian.
15/10 And certainly We sent (messengers) before you among thenations of yore.
15/11 And there never came a messenger to them but they mockedhim.
15/12 Thus do We make it to enter into the hearts of theguilty;
15/13 They do not believe in it, and indeed the example of theformer people has already passed.
15/14 And even if We open to them a gateway of heaven, so thatthey ascend into it all the while,
15/15 They would certainly say: Only our eyes have beencovered over, rather we are an enchanted people.
15/16 And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven andWe have made it fair seeming to the beholders.
15/17 And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan,
15/18 But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him avisible flame.
15/19 And the earth-- We have spread it forth and made in itfirm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitablething.
15/20 And We have made in it means of subsistence for you andfor him for whom you are not the suppliers.
15/21 And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasuresof it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure.
15/22 And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down waterfrom the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is ityou who store it up.
15/23 And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and Weare the heirs.
15/24 And certainly We know those of you who have gone beforeand We certainly know those who shall come later.
15/25 And surely your Lord will gather them together; surelyHe is Wise, Knowing.
15/26 And certainly We created man of clay that gives forthsound, of black mud fashioned in shape.
15/27 And the jinn We created before, of intensely hot fire.
15/28 And when your Lord said to the angels: Surely I am goingto create a mortal of the essence of black mud fashioned inshape.
15/29 So when I have made him complete and breathed into himof My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.
15/30 So the angels made obeisance, all of them together,
15/31 But Iblis (did it not); he refused to be with those whomade obeisance.
15/32 He said: O Iblis! what excuse have you that you are notwith those who make obeisance?
15/33 He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to amortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mudfashioned in shape.
15/34 He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are drivenaway:
15/35 And surely on you is curse until the day of judgment.
15/36 He said: My Lord! then respite me till the time whenthey are raised.
15/37 He said: So surely you are of the respited ones
15/38 Till the period of the time made known.
15/39 He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil tome, I will certainly make (evil) fair-seeming to them onearth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate
15/40 Except Thy servants from among them, the devoted ones.
15/41 He said: This is a right way with Me:
15/42 Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority,over them except those who follow you of the deviators.
15/43 And surely Hell is the promised place of them all:
15/44 It has seven gates; for every gate there shall be aseparate party of them.
15/45 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in themidst of gardens and fountains:
15/46 Enter them in peace, secure.
15/47 And We will root out whatever of rancor is in theirbreasts-- (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, faceto face.
15/48 Toil shall not afflict them in it, nor shall they beever ejected from it.
15/49 Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, theMerciful,
15/50 And that My punishment-- that is the painful punishment.
15/51 And inform them of the guests of Ibrahim:
15/52 When they entered upon him, they said, Peace. He said:Surely we are afraid of you.
15/53 They said: Be not afraid, surely we give you the goodnews of a boy, possessing knowledge.
15/54 He said: Do you give me good news (of a son) when oldage has come upon me?-- Of what then do you give me goodnews!
15/55 They said: We give you good news with truth,therefore be not of the despairing.
15/56 He said: And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord butthe erring ones?
15/57 He said: What is your business then, O messengers?
15/58 They said: Surely we are sent towards a guilty people,
15/59 Except Lut's followers: We will most surely deliver themall,
15/60 Except his wife; We ordained that she shall surely be ofthose who remain behind.
15/61 So when the messengers came to Lut's followers,
15/62 He said: Surely you are an unknown people.
15/63 They said: Nay, we have come to you with that aboutwhich they disputed.
15/64 And we have come to you with the truth, and we are mostsurely truthful.
15/65 Therefore go forth with your followers in a part of thenight and yourself follow their rear, and let not any one ofyou turn round, and go forth whither you are commanded.
15/66 And We revealed to him this decree, that the roots ofthese shall be cut off in the morning.
15/67 And the people of the town came rejoicing.
15/68 He said: Surely these are my guests, therefore do notdisgrace me,
15/69 And guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do notput me to shame.
15/70 They said: Have we not forbidden you from (other)people?
15/71 He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).
15/72 By your life! they were blindly wandering on in theirintoxication.
15/73 So the rumbling overtook them (while) entering upon thetime of sunrise;
15/74 Thus did We turn it upside down, and rained down uponthem stones of what had been decreed.
15/75 Surely in this are signs for those who examine.
15/76 And surely it is on a road that still abides.
15/77 Most surely there is a sign in this for the believers.
15/78 And the dwellers of the thicket also were most surelyunjust.
15/79 So We inflicted retribution on them, and they are both,indeed, on an open road (still) pursued.
15/80 And the dwellers of the Rock certainly rejected themessengers;
15/81 And We gave them Our communications, but they turnedaside from them;
15/82 And they hewed houses in the mountains in security.
15/83 So the rumbling overtook them in the morning;
15/84 And what they earned did not avail them.
15/85 And We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatis between them two but in truth; and the hour is mostsurely coming, so turn away with kindly forgiveness.
15/86 Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things, theKnowing.
15/87 And certainly We have given you seven of theoft-repeated (verses) and the grand Quran.
15/88 Do not strain your eyes after what We have given certainclasses of them to enjoy, and do not grieve for them, andmake yourself gentle to the believers.
15/89 And say: Surely I am the plain warner.
15/90 Like as We sent down on the dividers
15/91 Those who made the Quran into shreds.
15/92 So, by your Lord, We would most certainly question themall,
15/93 As to what they did.
15/94 Therefore declare openly what you are bidden and turnaside from the polytheists.
15/95 Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers
15/96 Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shallsoon know.
15/97 And surely We know that your breast straitens at whatthey say;
15/98 Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be ofthose who make obeisance.
15/99 And serve your Lord until there comes to you that whichis certain.
16/1 Allah's commandment has come, therefore do not desire tohasten it; glory be to Him, and highly exalted be He abovewhat they associate (with Him).
16/2 He sends down the angels with the inspiration by Hiscommandment on whom He pleases of His servants, saying: Givethe warning that there is no god but Me, therefore becareful (of your duty) to Me.
16/3 He created the heavens and the earth with the truth,highly exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).
16/4 He created man from a small seed and lo! he is an opencontender.
16/5 And He created the cattle for you; you have in them warmclothing and (many) advantages, and of them do you eat.
16/6 And there is beauty in them for you when you drive themback (to home), and when you send them forth (to pasture).
16/7 And they carry your heavy loads to regions which youcould not reach but with distress of the souls; most surelyyour Lord is Compassionate, Merciful.
16/8 And (He made) horses and mules and asses that you mightride upon them and as an ornament; and He creates what youdo not know.
16/9 And upon Allah it rests to show the right way, and thereare some deviating (ways); and if He please He wouldcertainly guide you all aright.
16/10 He it is Who sends down water from the cloud for you; itgives drink, and by it (grow) the trees upon which youpasture.
16/11 He causes to grow for you thereby herbage, and theolives, and the palm trees, and the grapes, and of all thefruits; most surely there is a sign in this for a people whoreflect.
16/12 And He has made subservient for you the night and theday and the sun and the moon, and the stars are madesubservient by His commandment; most surely there are signsin this for a people who ponder;
16/13 And what He has created in the earth of varied hues mostsurely there is a sign in this for a people who are mindful.
16/14 And He it is Who has made the sea subservient that youmay eat fresh flesh from it and bring forth from itornaments which you wear, and you see the ships cleavingthrough it, and that you might seek of His bounty and thatyou may give thanks.
16/15 And He has cast great mountains in the earth lest itmight be convulsed with you, and rivers and roads that youmay go aright,
16/16 And landmarks; and by the stars they find the right way.
16/17 Is He then Who creates like him who does not create? Doyou not then mind?
16/18 And if you would count Allah's favors, you will not beable to number them; most surely Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.
16/19 And Allah knows what you conceal and what you do openly.
16/20 And those whom they call on besides Allah have notcreated anything while they are themselves created;
16/21 Dead (are they), not living, and they know not when theyshall be raised.
16/22 Your Allah is one Allah; so (as for) those who do notbelieve m the hereafter, their hearts are ignorant and theyare proud.
16/23 Truly Allah knows what they hide and what they manifest;surely He does not love the proud.
16/24 And when it is said to them, what is it that your Lordhas revealed? They say: Stories of the ancients;
16/25 That they may bear their burdens entirely on the day ofresurrection and also of the burdens of those whom they leadastray without knowledge; now surely evil is what they bear.
16/26 Those before them did indeed devise plans, but Allahdemolished their building from the foundations, so the rooffell down on them from above them, and the punishment cameto them from whence they did not perceive.
16/27 Then on the resurrection day He will bring them todisgrace and say: Where are the associates you gave Me, forwhose sake you became hostile? Those who are given theknowledge will say: Surely the disgrace and the evil arethis day upon the unbelievers:
16/28 Those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjustto themselves. Then would they offer submission: We used notto do any evil. Aye! surely Allah knows what you did.
16/29 Therefore enter the gates of hell, to abide therein; socertainly evil is the dwelling place of the proud.
16/30 And it is said to those who guard (against evil): Whatis it that your Lord has revealed? They say, Good. For thosewho do good in this world is good, and certainly the abodeof the hereafter is better; and certainly most excellent isthe abode of those who guard (against evil);
16/31 The gardens of perpetuity, they shall enter them, riversflowing beneath them; they shall have in them what theyplease. Thus does Allah reward those who guard (againstevil),
16/32 Those whom the angels cause to die in a good state,saying: Peace be on you: enter the garden for what you did.
16/33 They do not wait aught but that the angels should cometo them or that the commandment of your Lord should come topass. Thus did those before them; and Allah was not unjustto them, but they were unjust to themselves.
16/34 So the evil (consequences) of what they did shallafflict them and that which they mocked shall encompassthem.
16/35 And they who give associates (to Allah) say: If Allahhad pleased, we would not have served anything besidesAllah, (neither) we nor our fathers, nor would we haveprohibited anything without (order from) Him. Thus did thosebefore them; is then aught incumbent upon the messengersexcept a plain delivery (of the message)?
16/36 And certainly We raised in every nation a messengersaying: Serve Allah and shun the Shaitan. So there were someof them whom Allah guided and there were others against whomerror was due; therefore travel in the land, then see whatwas the end of the rejecters.
16/37 If you desire for their guidance, yet surely Allah doesnot guide him who leads astray, nor shall they have anyhelpers.
16/38 And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of theiroaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies. Yea! it is apromise binding on Him, quite true, but most people do notknow;
16/39 So that He might make manifest to them that about whichthey differ, and that those who disbelieve might know thatthey were liars.
16/40 Our word for a thing when We intend it, is only that Wesay to it, Be, and it is.
16/41 And those who fly for Allah's sake after they areoppressed, We will most certainly give them a good abode inthe world, and the reward of the hereafter is certainly muchgreater, did they but know;
16/42 Those who are patient and on their Lord do they rely.
16/43 And We did not send before you any but men to whom Wesent revelation-- so ask the followers of the Reminder if youdo not know--
16/44 With clear arguments and scriptures; and We haverevealed to you the Reminder that you may make clear to menwhat has been revealed to them, and that haply they mayreflect.
16/45 Do they then who plan evil (deeds) feel secure (of this)that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or thatpunishment may not overtake them from whence they do notperceive?
16/46 Or that He may not seize them in the course of theirjourneys, then shall they not escape;
16/47 Or that He may not seize them by causing them to suffergradual loss, for your Lord is most surely Compassionate,Merciful.
16/48 Do they not consider every thing that Allah has created?Its (very) shadows return from right and left, makingobeisance to Allah while they are in utter abasement.
16/49 And whatever creature that is in the heavens and that isin the earth makes obeisance to Allah (only), and the angels(too) and they do not show pride.
16/50 They fear their Lord above them and do what they arecommanded.
16/51 And Allah has said: Take not two gods, He is only oneAllah; so of Me alone should you be afraid.
16/52 And whatever is in the heavens and the earth is His, andto Him should obedience be (rendered) constantly; will youthen guard against other than (the punishment of) Allah?
16/53 And whatever favor is (bestowed) on you it is fromAllah; then when evil afflicts you, to Him do you cry foraid.
16/54 Yet when He removes the evil from you, lo ! a party ofyou associate others with their Lord;
16/55 So that they be ungrateful for what We have given them;then enjoy yourselves; for soon will you know
16/56 And they set apart for what they do not know a portionof what We have given them. By Allah, you shall mostcertainly be questioned about that which you forged.
16/57 And they ascribe daughters to Allah, glory be to Him;and for themselves (they would have) what they desire.
16/58 And when a daughter is announced to one of them his facebecomes black and he is full of wrath.
16/59 He hides himself from the people because of the evil ofthat which is announced to him. Shall he keep it withdisgrace or bury it (alive) in the dust? Now surely evil iswhat they judge.
16/60 For those who do not believe in the hereafter is an evilattribute, and Allah's is the loftiest attribute; and He isthe Mighty, the Wise.
16/61 And if Allah had destroyed men for their iniquity, Hewould not leave on the earth a single creature, but Herespites them till an appointed time; so when their doomwill come they shall not be able to delay (it) an hour norcan they bring (it) on (before its time).
16/62 And they ascribe to Allah what they (themselves) hateand their tongues relate the lie that they shall have thegood; there is no avoiding it that for them is the fire andthat they shall be sent before.
16/63 By Allah, most certainly We sent (messengers) to nationsbefore you, but the Shaitan made their deeds fair-seeming tothem, so he is their guardian today, and they shall have apainful punishment.
16/64 And We have not revealed to you the Book except that youmay make clear to them that about which they differ, ind(as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.
16/65 And Allah has sent down water from the cloud andtherewith given life to the earth after its death; mostsurely there is a sign in this for a people who wouldlisten.
16/66 And most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle;We give you to drink of what is in their bellies-- frombetwixt the feces and the blood-- pure milk, easy andagreeable to swallow for those who drink.
16/67 And of the fruits of the palms and the grapes-- you obtainfrom them intoxication and goodly provision; most surelythere is a sign in this for a people who ponder.
16/68 And your Lord revealed to the bee saying: Make hives inthe mountains and in the trees and in what they build:
16/69 Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of yourLord submissively. There comes forth from within it abeverage of many colours, in which there is healing for men;most surely there is a sign in this for a people whoreflect.
16/70 And Allah has created you, then He causes you to die,and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part oflife, so that after having knowledge he does not knowanything; surely Allah is Knowing, Powerful.
16/71 And Allah has made some of you excel others in the meansof subsistence, so those who are made to excel do not giveaway their sustenance to those whom their right handspossess so that they should be equal therein; is it then thefavor of Allah which they deny?
16/72 And Allah has made wives for you from among yourselves,and has given you sons and grandchildren from your wives,and has given you of the good things; is it then in thefalsehood that they believe while it is in the favor ofAllah that they disbelieve?
16/73 And they serve besides Allah that which does not controlfor them any sustenance at all from the heavens and theearth, nor have they any power.
16/74 Therefore do not give likenesses to Allah; surely Allahknows and you do not know.
16/75 Allah sets forth a parable: (consider) a slave, theproperty of another, (who) has no power over anything, andone whom We have granted from Ourselves a goodly sustenanceso he spends from it secretly and openly; are the two alike?(All) praise is due to Allah! Nay, most of them do not know.
16/76 And Allah sets forth a parable of two men; one of themis dumb, not able to do anything, and he is a burden to hismaster; wherever he sends him, he brings no good; can he beheld equal with him who enjoins what is just, and he(himself) is on the right path?
16/77 And Allah's is the unseen of the heavens and the earth;and the matter of the hour is but as the twinkling of an eyeor it is higher still; surely Allah has power over allthings.
16/78 And Allah has brought you forth from the wombs of yourmothers-- you did not know anything-- and He gave you hearingand sight and hearts that you may give thanks.
16/79 Do they not see the birds, constrained in the middle ofthe sky? None withholds them but Allah; most surely thereare signs in this for a people who believe.
16/80 And Allah has given you a place to abide in your houses,and He has given you tents of the skins of cattle which youfind light to carry on the day of your march and on the dayof your halting, and of their wool and their fur and theirhair (He has given you) household stuff and a provision fora time.
16/81 And Allah has made for you of what He has createdshelters, and He has given you in the mountains places ofretreat, and He has given you garments to preserve you fromthe heat and coats of mail to preserve you in yourfighting; even thus does He complete His favor upon you,that haply you may submit.
16/82 But if they turn back, then on you devolves only theclear deliverance (of the message).
16/83 They recognize the favor of Allah, yet they deny it, andmost of them are ungrateful.
16/84 And on the day when We will raise up a witness out ofevery nation, then shall no permission be given to those whoE disbelieve, nor shall they be made to solicit favor.
16/85 And when those who are unjust shall see thechastisement, it shall not be lightened for them, nor shallthey be respited. .
16/86 And when those who associate (others with Allah) shallsee their associate-gods, they shall say: Our Lord, theseare our associate-gods on whom we called besides Thee. Butthey will give them back the reply: Most surely you areliars.
16/87 And they shall tender submission to Allah on that day;and what they used to forge shall depart from them.
16/88 (As for) those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah'sway, We will add chastisement to their chastisement becausethey made mischief.
16/89 And on the day when We will raise up in every people awitness against them from among themselves, and bring you asa witness against these-- and We have revealed the Book toyou explaining clearly everything, and a guidance and mercyand good news for those who submit.
16/90 Surely Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doingof good (to others) and the giving to the kindred, and Heforbids indecency and evil and rebellion; He admonishes youthat you may be mindful.
16/91 And fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have made acovenant, and do not break the oaths after making them fast,and you have indeed made Allah a surety for you; surelyAllah I . knows what you do.
16/92 And be not like her who unravels her yarn,disintegrating it into pieces after she has spun itstrongly. You make your oaths to be means of deceit betweenyou because (one) nation is more numerous than (another)nation. Allah only tries you by this; and He will mostcertainly make clear to you on the resurrection day thatabout which you differed.
16/93 And if Allah please He would certainly make you a singlenation, but He causes to err whom He pleases and guides whomHe pleases; and most certainly you will be questioned as towhat you did.
16/94 And do not make your oaths a means of deceit betweenyou, lest a foot should slip after its stability and youshould taste evil because you turned away from Allah's wayand grievous punishment be your (lot).
16/95 And do not take a small price in exchange for Allah'scovenant; surely what is with Allah is better for you, didyou but know.
16/96 What is with you passes away and what is with Allah isenduring; and We will most certainly give to those who arepatient their reward for the best of what they did.
16/97 Whoever does good whether male or female and he is abeliever, We will most certainly make him live a happy life,and We will most certainly give them their reward for thebest of what they did.
16/98 So when you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allahfrom the accursed Shaitan,
16/99 Surely he has no authority over those who believe andrely on their Lord.
16/100 His authority is only over those who befriend him andthose who associate others with Him.
16/101 And when We change (one) communication for (another)communication, and Allah knows best what He reveals, theysay: You are only a forger. Nay, most of them do not know.
16/102 Say: The Holy spirit has revealed it from your Lordwith the truth, that it may establish those who believe andas a guidance and good news for those who submit.
16/103 And certainly We know that they say: Only a mortalteaches him. The tongue of him whom they reproach isbarbarous, and this is clear Arabic tongue.
16/104 (As for) those who do not believe in Allah'scommunications, surely Allah will not guide them, and theyshall have a painful punishment.
16/105 Only they forge the lie who do not believe in Allah'scommunications, and these are the liars.
16/106 He who disbelieves in Allah after his having believed,not he who is compelled while his heart is at rest onaccount of faith, but he who opens (his) breast todisbelief-- on these is the wrath of Allah, and they shallhave a grievous chastisement.
16/107 This is because they love this world's life more thanthe hereafter, and because Allah does not guide theunbelieving people.
16/108 These are they on whose hearts and their hearing andtheir eyes Allah has set a seal, and these are the heedlessones.
16/109 No doubt that in the hereafter they will be the losers.
16/110 Yet surely your Lord, with respect to those who flyafter they are persecuted, then they struggle hard and arepatient, most surely your Lord after that is Forgiving,Merciful.
16/111 (Remember) the day when every soul shall come, pleadingfor itself and every soul shall be paid in full what it hasdone, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
16/112 And Allah sets forth a parable: (Consider) a town safeand secure to which its means of subsistence come inabundance from every quarter; but it became ungrateful toAllah's favors, therefore Allah made it to taste the utmostdegree of hunger and fear because of what they wrought.
16/113 And certainly there came to them a Messenger from amongthem, but they rejected him, so the punishment overtook themwhile they were unjust.
16/114 Therefore eat of what Allah has given you, lawful andgood (things), and give thanks for Allah's favor if Him doyou serve.
16/115 He has only forbidden you what dies of itself and bloodand flesh of swine and that over which any other name thanthat of Allah has been invoked, but whoever is driven tonecessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limit, then surelyAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
16/116 And, for what your tongues describe, do not utter thelie, (saying) This is lawful and this is unlawful, in orderto forge a lie against Allah; surely those who forge the lieagainst Allah shall not prosper.
16/117 A little enjoyment and they shall have a painfulpunishment.
16/118 And for those who were Jews We prohibited what We haverelated to you already, and We did them no injustice, butthey were unjust to themselves.
16/119 Yet surely your Lord, with respect to those who do anevil in ignorance, then turn after that and make amends,most surely your Lord after that is Forgiving, Merciful.
16/120 Surely Ibrahim was an exemplar, obedient to Allah,upright, and he was not of the polytheists.
16/121 Grateful for His favors; He chose him and guided him onthe right path.
16/122 And We gave him good in this world, and in the next hewill most surely be among the good.
16/123 Then We revealed to you: Follow the faith of Ibrahim,the upright one, and he was not of the polytheists.
16/124 The Sabbath was ordained only for those who differedabout it, and most surely your Lord will judge between themon the resurrection day concerning that about which theydiffered.
16/125 Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and goodlyexhortation, and have disputations with them in the bestmanner; surely your Lord best knows those who go astray fromHis path, and He knows best those who follow the right way.
16/126 And if you take your turn, then retaliate with the likeof that with which you were afflicted; but if you arepatient, it will certainly be best for those who arepatient.
16/127 And be patient and your patience is not but by (theassistance of) Allah, and grieve not for them, and do notdistress yourself at what they plan.
16/128 Surely Allah is with those who guard (against evil) andthose who do good (to others).
17/1 Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a nightfrom the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We haveblessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some ofOur signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
17/2 And We gave Musa the Book and made it a guidance to thechildren of Israel, saying: Do not take a protector besidesMe;
17/3 The offspring of those whom We bore with Nuh; surely hewas a grateful servant.
17/4 And We had made known to the children of Israel in theBook: Most certainly you will make mischief in the landtwice, and most certainly you will behave insolently withgreat insolence.
17/5 So when the promise for the first of the two came, Wesent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they wentto and fro among the houses, and it was a promise to beaccomplished.
17/6 Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them,and aided you with wealth and children and made you anumerous band.
17/7 If you do good, you will do good for your own souls, andif you do evil, it shall be for them. So when the secondpromise came (We raised another people) that they may bringyou to grief and that they may enter the mosque as theyentered it the first time, and that they might destroywhatever they gained ascendancy over with utter destruction.
17/8 It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, and ifyou again return (to disobedience) We too will return (topunishment), and We have made hell a prison for theunbelievers.
17/9 Surely this Quran guides to that which is most uprightand gives good news to the believers who do good that theyshall have a great reward.
17/10 And that (as for) those who do not believe in thehereafter, We have prepared for them a painful chastisement.
17/11 And man prays for evil as he ought to pray for good, andman is ever hasty.
17/12 And We have made the night and the day two signs, thenWe have made the sign of the night to pass away and We havemade the sign of the day manifest, so that you may seekgrace from your Lord, and that you might know the numberingof years and the reckoning; and We have explained everythingwith distinctness.
17/13 And We have made every man's actions to cling to hisneck, and We will bring forth to him on the resurrection daya book which he will find wide open:
17/14 Read your book; your own self is sufficient as areckoner against you this day.
17/15 Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright;and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he goastray: nor can the bearer of a burden bear the burden ofanother, nor do We chastise until We raise a messenger.
17/16 And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Ourcommandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, butthey transgress therein; thus the word proves true againstit, so We destroy it with utter destruction.
17/17 And how many of the generations did We destroy afterNuh! and your Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing withregard to His servants' faults.
17/18 Whoever desires this present life, We hasten to himtherein what We please for whomsoever We desire, then Weassign to him the hell; he shall enter it despised, drivenaway.
17/19 And whoever desires the hereafter and strives for it ashe ought to strive and he is a believer; (as for) these,their striving shall surely be accepted.
17/20 All do We aid-- these as well as those-- out of the bountyof your Lord, and the bounty of your Lord is not confined.
17/21 See how We have made some of them to excel others, andcertainly the hereafter is much superior in respect ofexcellence.
17/22 Do not associate with Allah any other god, lest you sitdown despised, neglected.
17/23 And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve(any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either orboth of them reach old age with you, say not to them (somuch as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generousword.
17/24 And make yourself submissively gentle to them withcompassion, and say: O my Lord! have compassion on them, asthey brought me up (when I was) little.
17/25 Your Lord knows best what is in your minds; if you aregood, then He is surely Forgiving to those who turn (to Him)frequently.
17/26 And give to the near of kin his due and (to) the needyand the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.
17/27 Surely the squanderers are the fellows of the Shaitansand the Shaitan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
17/28 And if you turn away from them to seek mercy from yourLord, which you hope for, speak to them a gentle word.
17/29 And do not make your hand to be shackled to your necknor stretch it forth to the utmost (limit) of its stretchingforth, lest you should (afterwards) sit down blamed,stripped off.
17/30 Surely your Lord makes plentiful the means ofsubsistence for whom He pleases and He straitens (them);surely He is ever Aware of, Seeing, His servants.
17/31 And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; Wegive them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to killthem is a great wrong.
17/32 And go not nigh to fornication; surely it is anindecency and an evil way.
17/33 And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, exceptfor a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We haveindeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceedthe just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.
17/34 And draw not near to the property of the orphan exceptin a goodly way till he attains his maturity and fulfill thepromise; surely (every) promise shall be questioned about.
17/35 And give full measure when you measure out, and weighwith a true balance; this is fair and better in the end.
17/36 And follow not that of which you have not the knowledge;surely the hearing and the sight and the heart, all ofthese, shall be questioned about that.
17/37 And do not go about in the land exultingly, for youcannot cut through the earth nor reach the mountains inheight.
17/38 All this-- the evil of it-- is hateful in the sight of yourLord.
17/39 This is of what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom,and do not associate any other god with Allah lest youshould be thrown into hell, blamed, cast away.
17/40 What! has then your Lord preferred to give you sons, and(for Himself) taken daughters from among the angels? Mostsurely you utter a grievous saying.
17/41 And certainly We have repeated (warnings) in this Quranthat they may be mindful, but it does not add save to theiraversion.
17/42 Say: If there were with Him gods as they say, thencertainly they would have been able to seek a way to theLord of power.
17/43 Glory be to Him and exalted be He in high exaltationabove what they say.
17/44 The seven heavens declare His glory and the earth (too),and those who are in them; and there is not a single thingbut glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understandtheir glorification; surely He is Forbearing, Forgiving.
17/45 And when you recite the Quran, We place between you andthose who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier;
17/46 And We have placed coverings on their hearts and aheaviness in their ears lest they understand it, and whenyou mention your Lord alone in the Quran they turn theirbacks in aversion.
17/47 We know best what they listen to when they listen toyou, and when they take counsel secretly, when the unjustsay: You follow only a man deprived of reason.
17/48 See what they liken you to! So they have gone astray andcannot find the way.
17/49 And they say: What! when we shall have become bones anddecayed particles, shall we then certainly be raised up,being a new creation?
17/50 Say: Become stones or iron,
17/51 Or some other creature of those which are too hard (toreceive life) in your minds! But they will say: Who willreturn us? Say: Who created you at first. Still they willshake their heads at you and say: When will it be? Say:Maybe it has drawn nigh.
17/52 On the day when He will call you forth, then shall youobey Him, giving Him praise, and you will think that youtarried but a little (while).
17/53 And say to My servants (that) they speak that which isbest; surely the Shaitan sows dissensions among them; surelythe Shaitan is an open enemy to man.
17/54 Your Lord knows you best; He will have mercy on you ifHe pleases, or He will chastise you if He pleases; and Wehave not sent you as being in charge of them.
17/55 And your Lord best knows those who are in the heavens andthe earth; and certainly We have made some of the prophets toexcel others, and to Dawood We gave a scripture.
17/56 Say: Call on those whom you assert besides Him, so theyshall not control the removal of distress from you nor (its)transference.
17/57 Those whom they call upon, themselves seek the means ofaccess to their Lord-- whoever of them is nearest-- and theyhope for His mercy and fear His chastisement; surely thechastisement of your Lord is a thing to be cautious of.
17/58 And there is not a town but We will destroy it beforethe day of resurrection or chastise it with a severechastisement; this is written in the Divine ordinance.
17/59 And nothing could have hindered Us that We should sendsigns except that the ancients rejected them; and We gave toSamood the she-camel-- a manifest sign-- but on her account theydid injustice, and We do not send signs but to make (men)fear.
17/60 And when We said to you: Surely your Lord encompassesmen; and We did not make the vision which We showed you buta trial for men and the cursed tree in the Quran as well;and We cause them to fear, but it only adds to their greatinordinacy.
17/61 And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam;they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He said: ShallI make obeisance to him whom Thou hast created of dust?
17/62 He said: Tell me, is this he whom Thou hast honoredabove me? If Thou shouldst respite me to the day ofresurrection, I will most certainly cause his progeny toperish except a few.
17/63 He said: Be gone! for whoever of them will follow you,then surely hell is your recompense, a full recompense:
17/64 And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice,and collect against them your forces riding and on foot, andshare with them in wealth and children, and hold outpromises to them; and the Shaitan makes not promises to thembut to deceive:
17/65 Surely (as for) My servants, you have no authority overthem; and your Lord is sufficient as a Protector.
17/66 Your Lord is He Who speeds the ships for you in the seathat you may seek of His grace; surely He is ever Mercifulto you.
17/67 And when distress afflicts you in the sea, away go thosewhom you call on except He; but when He brings you safe tothe land, you turn aside; and man is ever ungrateful.
17/68 What! Do you then feel secure that He will not cause atract of land to engulf you or send on you a tornado? Thenyou shall not find a protector for yourselves.
17/69 Or, do you feel secure that He will (not) take you backinto it another time, then send on you a fierce gale andthus drown you on account of your ungratefulness? Then youshall not find any aider against Us in the matter.
17/70 And surely We have honored the children of Adam, and Wecarry them in the land and the sea, and We have given themof the good things, and We have made them to excel by anappropriate excellence over most of those whom We havecreated.
17/71 (Remember) the day when We will call every people withtheir Imam; then whoever is given his book in his righthand, these shall read their book; and they shall not bedealt with a whit unjustly.
17/72 And whoever is blind in this, he shall (also) be blindin the hereafter; and more erring from the way.
17/73 And surely they had purposed to turn you away from thatwhich We have revealed to you, that you should forge againstUs other than that, and then they would certainly have takenyou for a friend.
17/74 And had it not been that We had already established you,you would certainly have been near to incline to them alittle;
17/75 In that case We would certainly have made you to taste adouble (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment)after death, then you would not have found any helperagainst Us.
17/76 And surely they purposed to unsettle you from the landthat they might expel you from it, and in that case theywill not tarry behind you but a little.
17/77 (This is Our) course with regard to those of Ourmessengers whom We sent before you, and you shall not find achange in Our course.
17/78 Keep up prayer from the declining of the sun till thedarkness of the night and the morning recitation; surely themorning recitation is witnessed.
17/79 And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyondwhat is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you toa position of great glory.
17/80 And say: My Lord! make me to enter a goodly entering,and cause me to go forth a goodly going forth, and grant mefrom near Thee power to assist (me).
17/81 And say: The truth has come and the falsehood hasvanished; surely falsehood is a vanishing (thing).
17/82 And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and amercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition ofthe unjust.
17/83 And when We bestow favor on man, he turns aside andbehaves proudly, and when evil afflicts him, he isdespairing.
17/84 Say: Every one acts according to his manner; but yourLord best knows who is best guided in the path.
17/85 And they ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is one ofthe commands of my Lord, and you are not given aught ofknowledge but a little.
17/86 And if We please, We should certainly take away thatwhich We have revealed to you, then you would not find forit any protector against Us.
17/87 But on account of mercy from your Lord-- surely His graceto you is abundant.
17/88 Say: If men and jinn should combine together to bringthe like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it,though some of them were aiders of others.
17/89 And certainly We have explained for men in this Quranevery kind of similitude, but most men do not consent toaught but denying.
17/90 And they say: We will by no means believe in you untilyou cause a fountain to gush forth from the earth for us.
17/91 Or you should have a garden of palms and grapes in themidst of which you should cause rivers to flow forth,gushing out.
17/92 Or you should cause the heaven to come down upon us inpieces as you think, or bring Allah and the angels face toface (with us).
17/93 Or you should have a house of gold, or you should ascendinto heaven, and we will not believe in your ascending untilyou bring down to us a book which we may read. Say: Glory beto my Lord; am I aught but a mortal messenger?
17/94 And nothing prevented people from believing when theguidance came to them except that they said: What! has Allahraised up a mortal to be a messenger?
17/95 Say: Had there been in the earth angels walking about assettlers, We would certainly have sent down to them from theheaven an angel as a messenger.
17/96 Say: Allah suffices as a witness between me and you;surely He is Aware of His servants, Seeing.
17/97 And whomsoever Allah guides, he is the follower of theright way, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall notfind for him guardians besides Him; and We will gather themtogether on the day of resurrection on their faces, blindand dumb and deaf; their abode is hell; whenever it becomesallayed We will add to their burning.
17/98 This is their retribution because they disbelieved inOur communications and said What! when we shall have becomebones and decayed particles, shall we then indeed be raisedup into a new creation?
17/99 Do they not consider that Allah, Who created the heavensand the earth, is able to create their like, and He hasappointed for them a doom about which there is no doubt? Butthe unjust do not consent to aught but denying.
17/100 Say: If you control the treasures of the mercy of myLord, then you would withhold (them) from fear of spending,and man is niggardly.
17/101 And certainly We gave Musa nine clear signs; so ask thechildren of Israel. When he came to them, Firon said to him:Most surely I deem you, O Musa, to be a man deprived ofreason.
17/102 He said: Truly you know that none but the Lord of theheavens and the earth has sent down these as clear proof andmost surely I believe you, O Firon, to be given over toperdition.
17/103 So he desired to destroy them out of the earth, but Wedrowned him and those with him all together;
17/104 And We said to the Israelites after him: Dwell in theland: and when the promise of the next life shall come topass, we will bring you both together in judgment.
17/105 And with truth have We revealed it, and with truth didit come; and We have not sent you but as the giver of goodnews and as a warner.
17/106 And it is a Quran which We have revealed in portions sothat you may read it to the people by slow degrees, and Wehave revealed it, revealing in portions.
17/107 Say: Believe in it or believe not; surely those who aregiven the knowledge before it fall down on their faces,making obeisance when it is recited to them.
17/108 And they say: Glory be to our Lord! most surely thepromise of our Lord was to be fulfilled.
17/109 And they fall down on their faces weeping, and it addsto their humility.
17/110 Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent Allah;whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do notutter your prayer with a very raised voice nor be silentwith regard to it, and seek a way between these.
17/111 And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has nottaken a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, andWho has not a helper to save Him from disgrace; and proclaimHis greatness magnifying (Him).
18/1 (All) praise is due to Allah, Who revealed the Book to Hisservant and did not make in it any crookedness.
18/2 Rightly directing, that he might give warning of severepunishment from Him and give good news to the believers who dogood that they shall have a goodly reward,
18/3 Staying in it for ever;
18/4 And warn those who say: Allah has taken a son.
18/5 They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers; a grievousword it is that comes out of their mouths; they speak nothing buta lie.
18/6 Then maybe you will kill yourself with grief, sorrowing afterthem, if they do not believe in this announcement.
18/7 Surely We have made whatever is on the earth an embellishmentfor it, so that We may try them (as to) which of them is best inworks.
18/8 And most surely We will make what is on it bare ground withoutherbage.
18/9 Or, do you think that the Fellows of the Cave and theInscription were of Our wonderful signs?
18/10 When the youths sought refuge in the cave, they said: OurLord! grant us mercy from Thee, and provide for us a right coursein our affair.
18/11 So We prevented them from hearing in the cave for a number ofyears.
18/12 Then We raised them up that We might know which of the twoparties was best able to compute the time for which theyremained.
18/13 We relate to you their story with the truth; surely they wereyouths who believed in their Lord and We increased them inguidance.
18/14 And We strengthened their hearts with patience, when theystood up and said: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and theearth; we will by no means call upon any god besides Him, forthen indeed we should have said an extravagant thing.
18/15 These our people have taken gods besides Him; why do they notproduce any clear authority in their support? Who is then moreunjust than he who forges a lie against Allah?
18/16 And when you forsake them and what they worship save Allah,betake yourselves for refuge to the cave; your Lord will extendto you largely of His mercy and provide for you a profitablecourse in your affair.
18/17 And you might see the sun when it rose, decline from theircave towards the right hand, and when it set, leave them behindon the left while they were in a wide space thereof. This is ofthe signs of Allah; whomsoever Allah guides, he is the rightlyguided one, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall not findfor him any friend to lead (him) aright.
18/18 And you might think them awake while they were asleep and Weturned them about to the right and to the left, while their dog(lay) outstretching its paws at the entrance; if you looked atthem you would certainly turn back from them in flight, and youwould certainly be filled with awe because of them.
18/19 And thus did We rouse them that they might question eachother. A speaker among them said: How long have you tarried? Theysaid: We have tarried for a day or a part of a day. (Others)said: Your Lord knows best how long you have tarried. Now sendone of you with this silver (coin) of yours to the city, then lethim see which of them has purest food, so let him bring youprovision from it, and let him behave with gentleness, and by nomeans make your case known to any one:
18/20 For surely if they prevail against you they would stone youto death or force you back to their religion, and then you willnever succeed.
18/21 And thus did We make (men) to get knowledge of them that theymight know that Allah's promise is true and that as for the hourthere is no doubt about it. When they disputed among themselvesabout their affair and said: Erect an edifice over them-- theirLord best knows them. Those who prevailed in their affair said:We will certainly raise a masjid over them.
18/22 (Some) say: (They are) three, the fourth of them being theirdog; and (others) say: Five, the sixth of them being their dog,making conjectures at what is unknown; and (others yet) say:Seven, and the eighth of them is their dog. Say: My Lord bestknows their number, none knows them but a few; therefore contendnot in the matter of them but with an outward contention, and donot question concerning them any of them.
18/23 And do not say of anything: Surely I will do it tomorrow,
18/24 Unless Allah pleases; and remember your Lord when you forgetand say: Maybe my Lord will guide me to a nearer course to theright than this.
18/25 And they remained in their cave three hundred years and(some) add (another) nine.
18/26 Say: Allah knows best how long they remained; to Him are(known) the unseen things of the heavens and the earth; how clearHis sight and how clear His hearing! There is none to be aguardian for them besides Him, and He does not make any one Hisassociate in His Judgment.
18/27 And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of yourLord, there is none who can alter His words; and you shall notfind any refuge besides Him.
18/28 And withhold yourself with those who call on their Lordmorning and evening desiring His goodwill, and let not your eyespass from them, desiring the beauties of this world's life; anddo not follow him whose heart We have made unmindful to Ourremembrance, and he follows his low desires and his case is onein which due bounds are exceeded.
18/29 And say: The truth is from your Lord, so let him who pleasebelieve, and let him who please disbelieve; surely We haveprepared for the iniquitous a fire, the curtains of which shallencompass them about; and if they cry for water, they shall begiven water like molten brass which will scald their faces; evilthe drink and ill the resting-place.
18/30 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, We do notwaste the reward of him who does a good work.
18/31 These it is for whom are gardens of perpetuity beneath whichrivers flow, ornaments shall be given to them therein ofbracelets of gold, and they shall wear green robes of fine silkand thick silk brocade interwoven with gold, reclining therein onraised couches; excellent the recompense and goodly the restingplace.
18/32 And set forth to them a parable of two men; for one of themWe made two gardens of grape vines, and We surrounded them bothwith palms, and in the midst of them We made cornfields.
18/33 Both these gardens yielded their fruits, and failed not aughtthereof, and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst,
18/34 And he possessed much wealth; so he said to his companion,while he disputed with him: I have greater wealth than you, andam mightier in followers.
18/35 And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. Hesaid: I do not think that this will ever perish
18/36 And I do not think the hour will come, and even if I amreturned to my Lord I will most certainly find a returning placebetter than this.
18/37 His companion said to him while disputing with him: Do youdisbelieve in Him Who created you from dust, then from a smallseed, then He made you a perfect man?
18/38 But as for me, He, Allah, is my Lord, and I do not associateanyone with my Lord.
18/39 And wherefore did you not say when you entered your garden:It is as Allah has pleased, there is no power save in Allah? Ifyou consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children,
18/40 Then maybe my Lord will give me what is better than yourgarden, and send on it a thunderbolt from heaven so that it shallbecome even ground without plant,
18/41 Or its waters should sink down into the ground so that youare unable to find it.
18/42 And his wealth was destroyed; so he began to wring his handsfor what he had spent on it, while it lay, having fallen downupon its roofs, and he said: Ah me! would that I had notassociated anyone with my Lord.
18/43 And he had no host to help him besides Allah nor could hedefend himself.
18/44 Here is protection only Allah's, the True One; He is best in(the giving of) reward and best in requiting.
18/45 And set forth to them parable of the life of this world: likewater which We send down from the cloud so the herbage of theearth becomes tangled on account of it, then it becomes drybroken into pieces which the winds scatter; and Allah is theholder of power over all things.
18/46 Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of thisworld; and the ever-abiding, the good works, are better with yourLord in reward and better in expectation.
18/47 And the day on which We will cause the mountains to pass awayand you will see the earth a levelled plain and We will gatherthem and leave not any one of them behind.
18/48 And they shall be brought before your Lord, standing inranks: Now certainly you have come to Us as We created you atfirst. Nay, you thought that We had not appointed to you a timeof the fulfillment of the promise.
18/49 And the Book shall be placed, then you will see the guiltyfearing from what is in it, and they will say: Ah! woe to us!what a book is this! it does not omit a small one nor a greatone, but numbers them (all); and what they had done they shallfind present (there); and your Lord does not deal unjustly withanyone.
18/50 And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; theymade obeisance but Iblis (did it not). He was of the jinn, so hetransgressed the commandment of his Lord. What! would you thentake him and his offspring for friends rather than Me, and theyare your enemies? Evil is (this) change for the unjust.
18/51 I did not make them witnesses of the creation of the heavensand the earth, nor of the creation of their own souls; nor couldI take those who lead (others) astray for aiders.
18/52 And on the day when He shall say: Call on those whom youconsidered to be My associates. So they shall call on them, butthey shall not answer them, and We will cause a separationbetween them.
18/53 And the guilty shall see the fire, then they shall know thatthey are going to fall into it, and they shall not find a placeto which to turn away from it.
18/54 And certainly We have explained in this Quran every kind ofexample, and man is most of all given to contention.
18/55 And nothing prevents men from believing when the guidance comes tothem, and from asking forgiveness of their Lord, except that what happenedto the ancients should overtake them, or that the chastisement should comeface to face with them.
18/56 And We do not send messengers but as givers of good news andwarning, and those who disbelieve make a false contention thatthey may render null thereby the truth, and they take Mycommunications and that with which they are warned for a mockery.
18/57 And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of thecommunications of his Lord, then he turns away from them andforgets what his two hands have sent before? Surely We haveplaced veils over their hearts lest they should understand it anda heaviness in their ears; and if you call them to the guidance,they will not ever follow the right course in that case.
18/58 And your Lord is Forgiving, the Lord of Mercy; were He topunish them for what they earn, He would certainly have hastenedthe chastisement for them; but for them there is an appointedtime from which they shall not find a refuge.
18/59 And (as for) these towns, We destroyed them when they actedunjustly, and We have appointed a time for their destruction.
18/60 And when Musa said to his servant: I will not cease until Ireach the junction of the two rivers or I will go on for years.
18/61 So when they had reached the junction of the two (rivers)they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the sea, goingaway.
18/62 But when they had gone farther, he said to his servant: Bringto us our morning meal, certainly we have met with fatigue fromthis our journey.
18/63 He said: Did you see when we took refuge on the rock then Iforgot the fish, and nothing made me forget to speak of it butthe Shaitan, and it took its way into the river; what a wonder!
18/64 He said: This is what we sought for; so they returnedretracing their footsteps.
18/65 Then they found one from among Our servants whom We hadgranted mercy from Us and whom We had taught knowledge fromOurselves.
18/66 Musa said to him: Shall I follow you on condition that youshould teach me right knowledge of what you have been taught?
18/67 He said: Surely you cannot have patience with me
18/68 And how can you have patience in that of which you have notgot a comprehensive knowledge?
18/69 He said: If Allah pleases, you will find me patient and Ishall not disobey you in any matter.
18/70 He said: If you would follow me, then do not question meabout any thing until I myself speak to you about it
18/71 So they went (their way) until when they embarked in the boathe made a hole in it. (Musa) said: Have you made a hole in it todrown its inmates? Certainly you have done a grievous thing.
18/72 He said: Did I not say that you will not be able to havepatience with me?
18/73 He said: Blame me not for what I forgot, and do not constrainme to a difficult thing in my affair.
18/74 So they went on until, when they met a boy, he slew him.(Musa) said: Have you slain an innocent person otherwise than formanslaughter? Certainly you have done an evil thing.
18/75 He said: Did I not say to you that you will not be able tohave patience with me?
18/76 He said: If I ask you about anything after this, keep me notin your company; indeed you shall have (then) found an excuse inmy case.
18/77 So they went on until when they came to the people of a town,they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them asguests. Then they found in it a wall which was on the point offalling, so he put it into a right state. (Musa) said: If you hadpleased, you might certainly have taken a recompense for it.
18/78 He said: This shall be separation between me and you; now Iwill inform you of the significance of that with which you couldnot have patience.
18/79 As for the boat, it belonged to (some) poor men who worked onthe river and I wished that I should damage it, and there wasbehind them a king who seized every boat by force.
18/80 And as for the boy, his parents were believers and we fearedlest he should make disobedience and ingratitude to come uponthem:
18/81 So we desired that their Lord might give them in his placeone better than him in purity and nearer to having compassion.
18/82 And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in thecity, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them, andtheir father was a righteous man; so your Lord desired that theyshould attain their maturity and take out their treasure, a mercyfrom your Lord, and I did not do it of my own accord. This is thesignificance of that with which you could not have patience.
18/83 And they ask you about Zulqarnain. Say: I will recite to youan account of him.
18/84 Surely We established him in the land and granted him meansof access to every thing.
18/85 So he followed a course.
18/86 Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he foundit going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. Wesaid: O Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them abenefit.
18/87 He said: As to him who is injust, we will chastise him, thenshall he be returned to his Lord, and He will chastise him withan exemplary chastisement:
18/88 And as for him who believes and does good, he shall have goodly reward,and We will speak to him an easy word of Our command.
18/89 Then he followed (another) course.
18/90 Until when he reached the land of the rising of the sun, hefound it rising on a people to whom We had given no shelter fromIt;
18/91 Even so! and We had a full knowledge of what he had.
18/92 Then he followed (another) course.
18/93 Until when he reached (a place) between the two mountains, hefound on that side of them a people who could hardly understand aword.
18/94 They said: O Zulqarnain! surely Gog and Magog make mischiefin the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute on condition thatyou should raise a barrier between us and them
18/95 He said: That in which my Lord has established me is better,therefore you only help me with workers, I will make a fortifiedbarrier between you and them;
18/96 Bring me blocks of iron; until when he had filled up thespace between the two mountain sides, he said: Blow, until whenhe had made it (as) fire, he said: Bring me molten brass which Imay pour over it.
18/97 So they were not able to scale it nor could they make a holein it.
18/98 He said: This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the promiseof my Lord comes to pass He will make it level with the ground,and the promise of my Lord is ever true.
18/99 And on that day We will leave a part of them in conflict withanother part, and the trumpet will be blown, so We will gatherthem all together;
18/100 And We will bring forth hell, exposed to view, on that daybefore the unbelievers.
18/101 They whose eyes were under a cover from My reminder and theycould not even hear.
18/102 What! do then those who disbelieve think that they can takeMy servants to be guardians besides Me? Surely We have preparedhell for the entertainment of the unbelievers.
18/103 Say: Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in (their)deeds?
18/104 (These are) they whose labor is lost in this world's lifeand they think that they are well versed in skill of the work ofhands.
18/105 These are they who disbelieve in the communications of theirLord and His meeting, so their deeds become null, and thereforeWe will not set up a balance for them on the day of resurrection.
18/106 Thus it is that their recompense is hell, because theydisbelieved and held My communications and My messengers inmockery.
18/107 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, theirplace of entertainment shall be the gardens of paradise,
18/108 Abiding therein; they shall not desire removal from them.
18/109 Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the seawould surely be consumed before the words of my Lord areexhausted, though We were to bring the like of that (sea) to add
18/110 Say: I am only a mortal like you; it is revealed to me thatyour god is one Allah, therefore whoever hopes to meet his Lord, heshould do good deeds, and not join any one in the service of hisLord.
19/1 Kaf Ha Ya Ain Suad.
19/2 A mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zakariya.
19/3 When he called upon his Lord in a low voice,
19/4 He said: My Lord! surely my bones are weakened and my headflares with hoariness, and, my Lord! I have never beenunsuccessful in my prayer to Thee:
19/5 And surely I fear my cousins after me, and my wife is barren,therefore grant me from Thyself an heir,
19/6 Who should inherit me and inherit from the children of Yaqoub,and make him, my Lord, one in whom Thou art well pleased.
19/7 O Zakariya! surely We give you good news of a boy whose nameshall be Yahya: We have not made before anyone his equal.
19/8 He said: O my Lord! when shall I have a son, and my wife isbarren, and I myself have reached indeed the extreme degree ofold age?
19/9 He said: So shall it be, your Lord says: It is easy to Me, andindeed I created you before, when you were nothing.
19/10 He said: My Lord! give me a sign. He said: Your sign is thatyou will not be able to speak to the people three nights while insound health.
19/11 So he went forth to his people from his place of worship,then he made known to them that they should glorify (Allah)morning and evening.
19/12 O Yahya! take hold of the Book with strength, and We grantedhim wisdom while yet a child
19/13 And tenderness from Us and purity, and he was one who guarded(against evil),
19/14 And dutiful to his parents, and he was not insolent,disobedient.
19/15 And peace on him on the day he was born, and on the day hedies, and on the day he is raised to life
19/16 And mention Marium in the Book when she drew aside from herfamily to an eastern place;
19/17 So she took a veil (to screen herself) from them; then Wesent to her Our spirit, and there appeared to her a well-mademan.
19/18 She said: Surely I fly for refuge from you to the BeneficentAllah, if you are one guarding (against evil).
19/19 He said: I am only a messenger of your Lord: That I will giveyou a pure boy.
19/20 She said: When shall I have a boy and no mortal has yettouched me, nor have I been unchaste?
19/21 He said: Even so; your Lord says: It is easy to Me: and thatWe may make him a sign to men and a mercy from Us, and it is amatter which has been decreed.
19/22 So she conceived him; then withdrew herself with him to aremote place.
19/23 And the throes (of childbirth) compelled her to betakeherself to the trunk of a palm tree. She said: Oh, would that Ihad died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten!
19/24 Then (the child) called out to her from beneath her: Grievenot, surely your Lord has made a stream to flow beneath you;
19/25 And shake towards you the trunk of the palmtree, it will dropon you fresh ripe dates:
19/26 So eat and drink and refresh the eye. Then if you see anymortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent Allah, soI shall not speak to any man today.
19/27 And she came to her people with him, carrying him (with her).They said: O Marium! surely you have done a strange thing.
19/28 O sister of Haroun! your father was not a bad man, nor, wasyour mother an unchaste woman.
19/29 But she pointed to him. They said: How should we speak to onewho was a child in the cradle?
19/30 He said: Surely I am a servant of Allah; He has given me theBook and made me a prophet;
19/31 And He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He hasenjoined on me prayer and poor-rate so long as I live;
19/32 And dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me insolent,unblessed;
19/33 And peace on me on the day I was born, and on the day I die,and on the day I am raised to life.
19/34 Such is Isa, son of Marium; (this is) the saying of truthabout which they dispute.
19/35 It beseems not Allah that He should take to Himself a ! son,glory to be Him; when He has decreed a matter He only says to it"Be," and it is.
19/36 And surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serveHim; this is the right path.
19/37 But parties from among them disagreed with each other, so woeto those who disbelieve, because of presence on a great
19/38 How clearly shall they hear and how clearly shall they see onthe day when they come to Us; but the unjust this day are inmanifest error.
19/39 And warn them of the day of intense regret, when the mattershall have been decided; and they are (now) in negligence andthey do not believe.
19/40 Surely We inherit the earth and all those who are on it, andto Us they shall be returned.
19/41 And mention Ibrahim in the Book; surely he was a truthfulman, a prophet.
19/42 When he said to his father; O my father! why do you worshipwhat neither hears nor sees, nor does it avail you in the least:
19/43 O my father! truly the knowledge has come to me which has notcome to you, therefore follow me, I will guide you on a rightpath:
19/44 O my father! serve not the Shaitan, surely the Shaitan isdisobedient to the Beneficent Allah:
19/45 O my father! surely I fear that a punishment from theBeneficent Allah should afflict you so that you should be a friendof the Shaitan.
19/46 He said: Do you dislike my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do notdesist I will certainly revile you, and leave me for a time.
19/47 He said: Peace be on you, I will pray to my Lord to forgiveyou; surely He is ever Affectionate to me:
19/48 And I will withdraw from you and what you call on besidesAllah, and I will call upon my Lord; may be I shall not remainunblessed in calling upon my Lord.
19/49 So when he withdrew from them and what they worshippedbesides Allah, We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub, and each one ofthem We made a prophet.
19/50 And We granted to them of Our mercy, and We left (behindthem) a truthful mention of eminence for them.
19/51 And mention Musa in the Book; surely he was one purified, andhe was a messenger, a prophet.
19/52 And We called to him from the blessed side of the mountain,and We made him draw nigh, holding communion (with Us).
19/53 And We gave to him out of Our mercy his brother Haroun aprophet.
19/54 And mention Ismail in the Book; surely he was truthful in(his) promise, and he was a messenger, a prophet.
19/55 And he enjoined on his family prayer and almsgiving, andwas one in whom his Lord was well pleased.
19/56 And mention Idris in the Book; surely he was a truthful man,a prophet,
19/57 And We raised him high in Heaven.
19/58 These are they on whom Allah bestowed favors, from among theprophets of the seed of Adam, and of those whom We carried withNuh, and of the seed of Ibrahim and Israel, and of those whom Weguided and chose; when the communications of the Beneficent Allahwere recited to them, they fell down making obeisance andweeping.
19/59 But there came after them an evil generation, who neglectedprayers and followed and sensual desires, so they win meetperdition,
19/60 Except such as repent and believe and do good, these shallenter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly inany way:
19/61 The gardens of perpetuity which the Beneficent Allah haspromised to His servants while unseen; surely His promise shallcome to pass.
19/62 They shall not hear therein any vain discourse, but only:Peace, and they shall have their sustenance therein morning andevening.
19/63 This is the garden which We cause those of Our servants toinherit who guard (against evil).
19/64 And we do not descend but by the command of your Lord; to Himbelongs whatever is before us and whatever is behind us andwhatever is between these, and your Lord is not forgetful.
19/65 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is betweenthem, so serve Him and be patient in His service. Do you know anyone equal to Him?
19/66 And says man: What! when I am dead shall I truly be broughtforth alive?
19/67 Does not man remember that We created him before, when he wasnothing?
19/68 So by your Lord! We will most certainly gather them togetherand the Shaitans, then shall We certainly cause them to bepresent round hell on their knees.
19/69 Then We will most certainly draw forth from every sect ofthem him who is most exorbitantly rebellious against theBeneficent Allah.
19/70 Again We do certainly know best those who deserve most to beburned therein.
19/71 And there is not one of you but shall come to it; this is anunavoidable decree of your Lord.
19/72 And We will deliver those who guarded (against evil), and Wewill leave the unjust therein on their knees.
19/73 And when Our clear communications are recited to them, thosewho disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two partiesis best in abiding and best in assembly?
19/74 And how many of the generations have We destroyed before themwho were better in respect of goods and outward appearance!
19/75 Say: As for him who remains in error, the Beneficent Allah willsurely prolong his length of days, until they see what they werethreatened with, either the punishment or the hour; then theyshall know who is in more evil plight and weaker in forces
19/76 And Allah increases in guidance those who go aright; andever-abiding good works are with your Lord best in recompense andbest in yielding fruit.
19/77 Have you, then, seen him who disbelieves in Ourcommunications and says: I shall certainly be given wealth andchildren?
19/78 Has he gained knowledge of the unseen, or made a covenantwith the Beneficent Allah?
19/79 By no means! We write down what he says, and We will lengthento him the length of the chastisement
19/80 And We will inherit of him what he says, and he shall come toUs alone.
19/81 And they have taken gods besides Allah, that they should beto them a source of strength;
19/82 By no means! They shall soon deny their worshipping them, andthey shall be adversaries to them.
19/83 Do you not see that We have sent the Shaitans against theunbelievers, inciting them by incitement?
19/84 Therefore be not in haste against them, We only number out tothem a number (of days).
19/85 The day on which We will gather those who guard (againstevil) to the Beneficent Allah to receive honors
19/86 And We will drive the guilty to hell thirsty
19/87 They shall not control intercession, save he who has made acovenant with the Beneficent Allah.
19/88 And they say: The Beneficent Allah has taken (to Himself) ason.
19/89 Certainly you have made an abominable assertion
19/90 The heavens may almost be rent thereat, and the earth cleaveasunder, and the mountains fall down in pieces,
19/91 That they ascribe a son to the Beneficent Allah.
19/92 And it is not worthy of the Beneficent Allah that He shouldtake (to Himself) a son.
19/93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth but will come tothe Beneficent Allah as a servant.
19/94 Certainly He has a comprehensive knowledge of them and He hasnumbered them a (comprehensive) numbering.
19/95 And every one of them will come to Him on the day ofresurrection alone.
19/96 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good deeds for tthem will Allah bring about love.
19/97 So We have only made it easy in your tongue that you may givegood news thereby to those who guard (against evil) and warnthereby a vehemently contentious people.
19/98 And how many a generation have We destroyed before them! Doyou see any one of them or hear a sound of them?
20/1 Ta Ha.
20/2 We have not revealed the Quran to you that you may beunsuccessful.
20/3 Nay, it is a reminder to him who fears:
20/4 A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the highheavens.
20/5 The Beneficent Allah is firm in power.
20/6 His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth andwhat is between them two and what is beneath the ground.
20/7 And if you utter the saying aloud, then surely He knows thesecret, and what is yet more hidden.
20/8 Allah-- there is no god but He; His are the very best names.
20/9 And has the story of Musa come to you?
20/10 When he saw fire, he said to his family: Stop, for surely Isee a fire, haply I may bring to you therefrom a live coal orfind aguidance at the fire.
20/11 So when he came to it, a voice was uttered: O Musa:
20/12 Surely I am your Lord, therefore put off your shoes;surely you are in the sacred valley, Tuwa,
20/13 And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed:
20/14 Surely I am Allah, there is no god but I, therefore serveMe and keep up prayer for My remembrance:
20/15 Surely the hour is coming-- I am about to make it manifest-- sothat every soul may be rewarded as it strives:
20/16 Therefore let not him who believes not in it and follows hislow desires turn you away from it so that you should perish;
20/17 And what is this in your right hand, O Musa!
20/18 He said: This is my staff: I recline on it and I beat theleaves with it to make them fall upon my sheep, and I have otheruses for it.
20/19 He said: Cast it down, O Musa!
20/20 So he cast it down; and lo! it was a serpent running.
20/21 He said: Take hold of it and fear not; We will restore it toits former state:
20/22 And press your hand to your side, it shall come out whitewithout evil: another sign:
20/23 That We may show you of Our greater signs:
20/24 Go to Firon, surely he has exceeded all limits.
20/25 He said: O my Lord! Expand my breast for me,
20/26 And make my affair easy to me,
20/27 And loose the knot from my tongue,
20/28 (That) they may understand my word;
20/29 And give to me an aider from my family:
20/30 Haroun, my brother,
20/31 Strengthen my back by him,
20/32 And associate him (with me) in my affair,
20/33 So that we should glorify Thee much,
20/34 And remember Thee oft.
20/35 Surely, Thou art seeing us.
20/36 He said: You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa
20/37 And certainly We bestowed on you a favor at another time;
20/38 When We revealed to your mother what was revealed;
20/39 Saying: Put him into a chest, then cast it down into theriver, then the river shall throw him on the shore; there shalltake him up one who is an enemy to Me and enemy to him, and Icast down upon you love from Me, and that you might be brought upbefore My eyes;
20/40 When your sister went and said: Shall I direct you to one whowill take charge of him? So We brought you back to your mother,that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve and youkilled a man, then We delivered you from the grief, and We triedyou with (a severe) trying. Then you stayed for years among thepeople of Madyan; then you came hither as ordained, O Musa.
20/41 And I have chosen you for Myself:
20/42 Go you and your brother with My communications and be notremiss in remembering Me;
20/43 Go both to Firon, surely he has become inordinate;
20/44 Then speak to him a gentle word haply he may mind or fear.
20/45 Both said: O our Lord! Surely we fear that he may hasten todo evil to us or that he may become inordinate.
20/46 He said: Fear not, surely I am with you both: I do hear andsee.
20/47 So go you both to him and say: Surely we are two messengers ofyour Lord; therefore send the children of Israel with us and donot torment them! Indeed we have brought to you a communicationfrom your Lord, and peace is on him who follows the guidance;
20/48 Surely it has been revealed to us that the chastisement willsurely come upon him who rejects and turns back.
20/49 (Firon) said: And who is your Lord, O Musa?
20/50 He said: Our Lord is He Who gave to everything its creation,then guided it (to its goal).
20/51 He said: Then what is the state of the former generations?
20/52 He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a book, myLord errs not, nor does He forget;
20/53 Who made the earth for you an expanse and made for youtherein paths and sent down water from the cloud; then thereby Wehave brought forth many species of various herbs.
20/54 Eat and pasture your cattle; most surely there are signs inthis for those endowed with understanding.
20/55 From it We created you and into it We shall send you back andfrom it will We raise you a second time.
20/56 And truly We showed him Our signs, all of them, but herejected and refused.
20/57 Said he: Have you come to us that you should turn us out ofour land by your magic, O Musa?
20/58 So we too will produce before you magic like it, thereforemake between us and you an appointment, which we should notbreak, (neither) we nor you, (in) a central place.
20/59 (Musa) said: Your appointment is the day of the Festival andlet the people be gathered together in the early forenoon.
20/60 So Firon turned his back and settled his plan, then came.
20/61 Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie againstAllah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (alie) indeed fails to attain (his desire).
20/62 So they disputed with one another about their affair and keptthe discourse secret.
20/63 They said: These are most surely two magicians who wish toturn you out from your land by their magic and to take away yourbest traditions.
20/64 Therefore settle your plan, then come standing in ranks andhe will prosper indeed this day who overcomes.
20/65 They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the firstwho cast down?
20/66 He said: Nay! cast down. then lo! their cords and theirrods-- it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if theywere running.
20/67 So Musa conceived in his mind a fear.
20/68 We said: Fear not, surely you shall be the uppermost,
20/69 And cast down what is in your right hand; it shall devourwhat they have wrought; they have wrought only the plan of amagician, and the magician shall not be successful wheresoever hemay come from.
20/70 And the magicians were cast down making obeisance; they said:We believe in the Lord of Haroun and Musa.
20/71 (Firon) said: You believe in him before I give you leave;most surely he is the chief of you who taught you enchantment,therefore I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet onopposite sides, and I will certainly crucify you on the trunks ofthe palm trees, and certainly you will come to know which of usis the more severe and the more abiding in chastising.
20/72 They said: We do not prefer you to what has come to us ofclear arguments and to He Who made us, therefore decide what youare going to decide; you can only decide about this world's life.
20/73 Surely we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sinsand the magic to which you compelled us; and Allah is better andmore abiding.
20/74 Whoever comes to his Lord (being) guilty, for him is surelyhell; he shall not die therein, nor shall he live.
20/75 And whoever comes to Him a believer (and) he has done gooddeeds indeed, these it is who shall have the high ranks,
20/76 The gardens of perpetuity, beneath which rivers flow, toabide therein; and this is the reward of him who has purifiedhimself.
20/77 And certainly We revealed to Musa, saying: Travel by nightwith My servants, then make for them a dry path in the sea, notfearing to be overtaken, nor being afraid.
20/78 And Firon followed them with his armies, so there came uponthem of the sea that which came upon them.
20/79 And Firon led astray his people and he did not guide (them)aright.
20/80 O children of Israel! indeed We delivered you from yourenemy, and We made a covenant with you on the blessed side of themountain, and We sent to you the manna and the quails.
20/81 Eat of the good things We have given you for sustenance, andbe not inordinate with respect to them, lest My wrath should bedue to you, and to whomsoever My wrath is due be shall perishindeed.
20/82 And most surely I am most Forgiving to him who repents andbelieves and does good, then continues to follow the rightdirection.
20/83 And what caused you to hasten from your people, O Musa?
20/84 He said: They are here on my track and I hastened on to Thee,my Lord, that Thou mightest be pleased.
20/85 He said: So surely We have tried your people after you, andthe Samiri has led them astray.
20/86 So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he:O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: didthen the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasurefrom your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your)promise to me?
20/87 They said: We did not break (our) promise to you of our ownaccord, but we were made to bear the burdens of the ornaments ofthe people, then we made a casting of them, and thus did theSamiri suggest.
20/88 So he brought forth for them a calf, a (mere) body, which hada mooing sound, so they said: This is your god and the god ofMusa, but he forgot.
20/89 What! could they not see that it did not return to them areply, and (that) it did not control any harm or benefit forthem?
20/90 And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people!you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the BeneficentAllah, therefore follow me and obey my order.
20/91 They said: We will by no means cease to keep to its worshipuntil Musa returns to us.
20/92 (Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw themgoing astray,
20/93 So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order?
20/94 He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor bymy head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have causeda division among the children of Israel and not waited for myword.
20/95 He said: What was then your object, O Samiri?
20/96 He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took ahandful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then Ithrew it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me
20/97 He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this lifeto say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you,which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god towhose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, thenwe will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea.
20/98 Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; Hecomprehends all things in (His) knowledge.
20/99 Thus do We relate to you (some) of the news of what has gonebefore; and indeed We have given to you a Reminder fromOurselves.
20/100 Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burdenon the day of resurrection
20/101 Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them tobear on the day of resurrection;
20/102 On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We willgather the guilty, blue-eyed, on that day
20/103 They shall consult together secretly: You did tarry but ten(centuries).
20/104 We know best what they say, when the fairest of them incourse would say: You tarried but a day.
20/105 And they ask you about the mountains. Say: My Lord willcarry them away from the roots.
20/106 Then leave it a plain, smooth level
20/107 You shall not see therein any crookedness or unevenness.
20/108 On that day they shall follow the inviter, there is nocrookedness in him, and the voices shall be low before theBeneficent Allah so that you shall not hear aught but a soft sound.
20/109 On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whomthe Beneficent Allah allows and whose word He is pleased with.
20/110 He knows what is before them and what is behind them, whilethey do not comprehend it in knowledge.
20/111 And the faces shall be humbled before the Living, theSelf-subsistent Allah, and he who bears iniquity is indeed afailure.
20/112 And whoever does good works and he is a believer, he shallhave no fear of injustice nor of the withholding of his due.
20/113 And thus have We sent it down an Arabic Quran, and havedistinctly set forth therein of threats that they may guard(against evil) or that it may produce a reminder for them.
20/114 Supremely exalted is therefore Allah, the King, the Truth,and do not make haste with the Quran before its revelation ismade complete to you and say: O my Lord ! increase me inknowledge.
20/115 And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but heforgot; and We did not find in him any determination.
20/116 And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam, theymade obeisance, but Iblis (did it not); he refused.
20/117 So We said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to yourwife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the gardenso that you should be unhappy;
20/118 Surely it is (ordained) for you that you shall not be hungrytherein nor bare of clothing;
20/119 And that you shall not be thirsty therein nor shall you feelthe heat of the sun.
20/120 But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to him; he said: OAdam! Shall I guide you to the tree of immortality and a kingdomwhich decays not?
20/121 Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations becamemanifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves withleaves of the garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so his lifebecame evil (to him).
20/122 Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided(him).
20/123 He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one ofyou (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to youguidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall notgo astray nor be unhappy;
20/124 And whoever turns away from My reminder, his shall be astraitened life, and We will raise him on the day ofresurrection, blind.
20/125 He shall say: My Lord! why hast Thou raised me blind and Iwas a seeing one indeed?
20/126 He will say: Even so, Our communications came to you but youneglected them; even thus shall you be forsaken this day.
20/127 And thus do We recompense him who is extravagant and doesnot believe in the communications of his Lord, and certainly thechastisement of the hereafter is severer and more
20/128 Does it not then direct them aright how many of thegenerations In whose dwelling-places they go about We destroyedbefore them? Most surely there are signs in this for thoseendowed with understanding.
20/129 And had there not been a word (that had) already gone forthfrom your Lord and an appointed term, it would surely have beenmade to cleave (to them).
20/130 Bear then patiently what they say, and glorify your Lord bythe praising of Him before the rising of the sun and before itssetting, and during hours of the night do also glorify (Him) andduring parts of the day, that you may be well pleased
20/131 And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We haveprovided different classes of them, (of) the splendor of thisworld's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance(given) by your Lord is better and more abiding.
20/132 And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere toit; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give yousubsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil).
20/133 And they say: Why does he not bring to us a sign from hisLord? Has not there come to them a clear evidence of what is mthe previous books?
20/134 And had We destroyed them with chastisement before this,they would certainly have said: O our Lord! why didst Thou notsend to us a messenger, for then we should have followed Thycommunications before that we met disgrace and shame.
20/135 Say: Every one (of us) is awaiting, therefore do await: Soyou will come to know who is the follower of the even path andwho goes aright.
21/1 Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and inheedlessness are they turning aside.
21/2 There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lordbut they hear it while they sport,
21/3 Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counseltogether in secret: He is nothing but a mortal likeyourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment whileyou see?
21/4 He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven andthe earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
21/5 Nay! say they: Medleys of dreams; nay! he has forged it;nay! he is a poet; so let him bring to us a sign as theformer (prophets) were sent (with).
21/6 There did not believe before them any town which Wedestroyed, will they then believe?
21/7 And We did not send before you any but men to whom Wesent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if youdo not
21/8 And We did not make them bodies not eating the food, andthey were not to abide (forever).
21/9 Then We made Our promise good to them, so We deliveredthem and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the ex
21/10 Certainly We have revealed to you a Book in which isyour good remembrance; what! do you not then understand?
21/11 And how many a town which was iniquitous did Wedemolish, and We raised up after it another people!
21/12 So when they felt Our punishment, lo! they began to fly
21/13 Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made tolead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will bequestioned.
21/14 They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.
21/15 And this ceased not to be their cry till We made themcut
21/16 And We did not create the heaven and the earth and whatis between them for sport.
21/17 Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made itfrom before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it).
21/18 Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that itbreaks its head, and lo! it vanishes; and woe to you forwhat you describe;
21/19 And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; andthose who are with Him are not proud to serve Him, nor dothey grow weary.
21/20 They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are neverlanguid.
21/21 Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise (thedead).
21/22 If there had been in them any gods except Allah, theywould both have certainly been in a state of disorder;therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, abovewhat they attribute (to Him).
21/23 He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and theyshall be questioned.
21/24 Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring yourproof; this is the reminder of those with me and thereminder of those before me. Nay! most of them do not knowthe truth, so they turn aside.
21/25 And We did not send before you any messenger but Werevealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serveMe.
21/26 And they say: The Beneficent Allah has taken to Himself a! son. Glory be to Him. Nay! they are honored servants
21/27 They do not precede Him in speech and (only) accordingto His commandment do they act.
21/28 He knows what is before them and what is behind them,and they do not intercede except for him whom He approvesand for fear of Him they tremble.
21/29 And whoever of them should say: Surely I am a godbesides Him, such a one do We recompense with hell; thus do,We recompense the unjust.
21/30 Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and theearth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We havemade of water everything living, will they not then believe?
21/31 And We have made great mountains in the earth lest itmight be convulsed with them, and We have made in it wideways that they may follow a right direction.
21/32 And We have made the heaven a guarded canopy and (yet)they turn aside from its signs.
21/33 And He it is Who created the night and the day and thesun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in theircelestial spheres.
21/34 And We did not ordain abiding for any mortal before you.What! Then if you die, will they abide?
21/35 Every soul must taste of death and We try you by eviland good by way of probation; and to Us you shall be broughtback.
21/36 And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not takeyou but for one to be scoffed at: Is this he who speaks ofyour gods? And they are deniers at the mention of theBeneficent Allah.
21/37 Man is created of haste; now will I show to you Mysigns, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.
21/38 And they say: When will this threat come to pass if youare truthful?
21/39 Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) whenthey shall not be able to ward off the fire from their facesnor from their backs, nor shall they be helped.
21/40 Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and causethem to become confounded, so they shall not have the powerto avert it, nor shall they be respited.
21/41 And certainly messengers before you were scoffed at, thenthere befell those of them who scoffed that at which theyhad scoffed.
21/42 Say: Who guards you by night and by day from theBeneficent Allah? Nay, they turn aside at the mention of theirLord.
21/43 Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? Theyshall not be able to assist themselves, nor shall they bedefended from Us.
21/44 Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers untillife was prolonged to them. Do they not then see that We arevisiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall theythen prevail?
21/45 Say: I warn you only by revelation; and the deaf do nothear the call whenever they are warned.
21/46 And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were totouch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely wewere unjust.
21/47 And We will set up a just balance on the day ofresurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in theleast; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustardseed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to takeaccount.
21/48 And certainly We gave to Musa and Haroun the Furqan anda light and a reminder for those who would guard (againstevil).
21/49 (For) those who fear their Lord in secret and they arefearful of the hour.
21/50 And this is a blessed Reminder which We have revealed;will you then deny it?
21/51 And certainly We gave to Ibrahim his rectitude before,and We knew him fully well.
21/52 When he said to his father and his people: What arethese images to whose worship you cleave?
21/53 They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.
21/54 He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and yourfathers, in manifest error.
21/55 They said: Have you brought to us the truth, or are youone of the triflers?
21/56 He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens andthe earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am ofthose who bear witness to this:
21/57 And, by Allah! I will certainly do something againstyour idols after you go away, turning back.
21/58 So he broke them into pieces, except the chief of them,that haply they may return to it.
21/59 They said: Who has done this to our gods? Most surely heis one of the unjust.
21/60 They said: We heard a youth called Ibrahim speak ofthem.
21/61 Said they: Then bring him before the eyes of the people,perhaps they may bear witness.
21/62 They said: Have you done this to our gods, O Ibrahim?
21/63 He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief ofthem is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak.
21/64 Then they turned to themselves and said: Surely youyourselves are the unjust;
21/65 Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainlyyou know that they do not speak.
21/66 He said: What! do you then serve besides Allah whatbrings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?
21/67 Fie on you and on what you serve besides Allah; what! doyou not then understand?
21/68 They said: Burn him and help your gods, if you are goingto do (anything).
21/69 We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim;
21/70 And they desired a war on him, but We made them thegreatest losers.
21/71 And We delivered him as well as Lut (removing them) tothe land which We had blessed for all people.
21/72 And We gave him Ishaq and Yaqoub, a son's son, and Wemade (them) all good.
21/73 And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Ourcommand, and We revealed to them the doing of good and thekeeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us(alone) did they serve;
21/74 And (as for) Lut, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, andWe delivered him from the town which wrought abominations;surely they were an evil people, transgressors;
21/75 And We took him into Our mercy; surely he was of thegood.
21/76 And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him,and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity.
21/77 And We helped him against the people who rejected Ourcommunications; surely they were an evil people, so Wedrowned them all.
21/78 And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgmentconcerning the field when the people's sheep pasturedtherein by night, and We were bearers of witness to theirjudgment.
21/79 So We made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one Wegave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, andthe birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We werethe doers.
21/80 And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you,that they might protect you in your wars; will you then begrateful?
21/81 And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowingviolent, pursuing its course by his command to the landwhich We had blessed, and We are knower of ail things.
21/82 And of the rebellious people there were those who divedfor him and did other work besides that, and We kept guardover them;
21/83 And Ayub, when he cried to his Lord, (saying): Harm hasafflicted me, and Thou art the most Merciful of themerciful.
21/84 Therefore We responded to him and took off what harm hehad, and We gave him his family and the like of them withthem: a mercy from Us and a reminder to the worshippers.
21/85 And Ismail and Idris and Zulkifl; all were of thepatient ones;
21/86 And We caused them to enter into Our mercy, surely theywere of the good ones.
21/87 And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thoughtthat We would not straiten him, so he called out amongafflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee;surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.
21/88 So We responded to him and delivered him from the griefand thus do We deliver the believers.
21/89 And Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: O my Lord leaveme not alone; and Thou art the best of inheritors.
21/90 So We responded to him and gave him Yahya and made hiswife fit for him; surely they used to hasten, one withanother In deeds of goodness and to call upon Us, hoping andfearing and they were humble before Us.
21/91 And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed intoher of Our inspiration and made her and her son a sign forthe nations.
21/92 Surely this Islam is your religion, one religion (only),and I am your Lord, therefore serve Me.
21/93 And they broke their religion (into sects) between them:to Us shall all come back.
21/94 Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is abeliever, there shall be no denying of his exertion, andsurely We will write (It) down for him.
21/95 And it is binding on a town which We destroy that theyshall not return.
21/96 Even when Gog and Magog are let loose and they shallbreak forth from every elevated place.
21/97 And the true promise shall draw nigh, then lo! the eyesof those who disbelieved shall be fixedly open: O woe to us!surely we were m a state of heedlessness as to this; nay, wewere unjust.
21/98 Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are thefirewood of hell; to it you shall come.
21/99 Had these been gods, they would not have come to it andall shall abide therein.
21/100 For them therein shall be groaning and therein theyshall not hear.
21/101 Surely (as for) those for whom the good has alreadygone forth from Us, they shall be kept far off from it;
21/102 They will not hear its faintest sound, and they shallabide in that which their souls long for.
21/103 The great fearful event shall not grieve them, and theangels shall meet them: This is your day which you werepromised.
21/104 On the day when We will roll up heaven like the rollingup of the scroll for writings, as We originated the firstcreation, (so) We shall reproduce it; a promise (binding onUs); surely We will bring it about.
21/105 And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminderthat (as for) the land, My righteous servants shall inheritit.
21/106 Most surely in this is a message to a people who serve
21/107 And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.
21/108 Say: It is only revealed to me that your Allah is oneAllah; will you then submit?
21/109 But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning mfairness and I do not know whether what you are threatenedwith is near or far:
21/110 Surely He knows what is spoken openly and He knows whatyou hide:
21/111 And I do not know if this may be a trial for you and aprovision till a time.
21/112 He said: O my Lord! judge Thou with truth; and our Lordis the Beneficent Allah, Whose help is sought against what youascribe (to Him).
22/1 O people! guard against (the punishment from) your Lord;surely the violence of the hour is a grievous thing.
22/2 On the day when you shall see it, every woman giving suckshall quit in confusion what she suckled, and every pregnantwoman shall lay down her burden, and you shall see menintoxicated, and they shall not be intoxicated but thechastisement of Allah will be severe.
22/3 And among men there is he who disputes about Allahwithout knowledge and follows every rebellious Shaitan;
22/4 Against him it is written down that whoever takes him fora friend, he shall lead him astray and conduct him to thechastisement of the burning fire.
22/5 O people! if you are in doubt about the raising, thensurely We created you from dust, then from a small seed,then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, complete inmake and incomplete, that We may make clear to you; and Wecause what We please to stay in the wombs till an appointedtime, then We bring you forth as babies, then that you mayattain your maturity; and of you is he who is caused to die,and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part oflife, so that after having knowledge he does not knowanything; and you see the earth sterile land, but when Wesend down on it the water, it stirs and swells and bringsforth of every kind a beautiful herbage.
22/6 This is because Allah is the Truth and because He giveslife to the dead and because He has power over all things
22/7 And because the hour is coming, there is no doubt aboutit; and because Allah shall raise up those who are in thegraves.
22/8 And among men there is he who disputes about Allahwithout knowledge and without guidance and without anilluminating book,
22/9 Turning away haughtily that he may lead (others) astrayfrom the way of Allah; for him is disgrace in this world,and on the day of resurrection We will make him taste thepunishment of burning:
22/10 This is due to what your two hands have sent before, andbecause Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants.
22/11 And among men is he who serves Allah (standing) on theverge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfiedtherewith, but if a trial afflict him he turns backheadlong; he loses this world as well as the hereafter; thatis a manifest loss.
22/12 He calls besides Allah upon that which does not harm himand that which does not profit him, that is the greatstraying.
22/13 He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his profit;evil certainly is the guardian and evil certainly is theassociate.
22/14 Surely Allah will cause those who believe and do gooddeeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, surelyAllah does what He pleases.
22/15 Whoever thinks that Allah will not assist him in thislife and the hereafter, let him stretch a rope to theceiling, then let him cut (it) off, then let him see if hisstruggle will take away that at which he is enraged.
22/16 And thus have We revealed it, being clear arguments, andbecause Allah guides whom He intends.
22/17 Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and theSabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those whoassociate (others with Allah)-- surely Allah will decidebetween them on the day of resurrection; surely Allah is awitness over all things.
22/18 Do you not see that Allah is He, Whom obeys whoever isin the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun andthe moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, andthe animals and many of the people; and many there areagainst whom chastisement has become necessary; andwhomsoever Allah abases, there is none who can make himhonorable; surely Allah does what He pleases.
22/19 These are two adversaries who dispute about their Lord;then (as to) those who disbelieve, for them are cut outgarments of fire, boiling water shall be poured over theirheads.
22/20 With it shall be melted what is in their bellies and(their) skins as well.
22/21 And for them are whips of iron.
22/22 Whenever they will desire to go forth from it, fromgrief, they shall be turned back into it, and taste thechastisement of burning.
22/23 Surely Allah will make those who believe and do gooddeeds enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; they shall beadorned therein with bracelets of gold and (with) pearls,and their garments therein shall be of silk.
22/24 And they are guided to goodly words and they are guidedinto the path of the Praised One.
22/25 Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, and hinder (men)from Allah's way and from the Sacred Mosque which We havemade equally for all men, (for) the dweller therein and(for) the visitor, and whoever shall incline therein towrong unjustly, We will make him taste of a painfulchastisement.
22/26 And when We assigned to Ibrahim the place of the House,saying: Do not associate with Me aught, and purify My Housefor those who make the circuit and stand to pray and bow andprostrate themselves.
22/27 And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage: they will come toyou on foot and on every lean camel, coming from everyremote path,
22/28 That they may witness advantages for them and mentionthe name of Allah during stated days over what He has giventhem of the cattle quadrupeds, then eat of them and feed thedistressed one, the needy.
22/29 Then let them accomplish their needful acts of shavingand cleansing, and let them fulfil their vows and let themgo round the Ancient House.
22/30 That (shall be so); and whoever respects the sacredordinances of Allah, it is better for him with his Lord; andthe cattle are made lawful for you, except that which isrecited to you, therefore avoid the uncleanness of the idolsand avoid false words,
22/31 Being upright for Allah, not associating aught with Himand whoever associates (others) with Allah, it is as thoughhe had fallen from on high, then the birds snatch him awayor the wind carries him off to a far-distant place.
22/32 That (shall be so); and whoever respects the signs ofAllah, this surely is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts.
22/33 You have advantages in them till a fixed time, thentheir place of sacrifice is the Ancient House.
22/34 And to every nation We appointed acts of devotion thatthey may mention the name of Allah on what He has given themof the cattle quadrupeds; so your god is One God, thereforeto Him should you submit, and give good news to the humble,
22/35 (To) those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned,and those who are patient under that which afflicts them,and those who keep up prayer, and spend (benevolently) outof what We have given them.
22/36 And (as for) the camels, We have made them of the signsof the religion of Allah for you; for you therein is muchgood; therefore mention the name of Allah on them as theystand in a row, then when they fall down eat of them andfeed the poor man who is contented and the beggar; thus haveWe made them subservient to you, that you may be grateful.
22/37 There does not reach Allah their flesh nor their blood,but to Him is acceptable the guarding (against evil) on yourpart; thus has He made them subservient to you, that you maymagnify Allah because He has guided you aright; and givegood news to those who do good (to others).
22/38 Surely Allah will defend those who believe; surely Allahdoes not love any one who is unfaithful, ungrateful.
22/39 Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war ismade because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah iswell able to assist them;
22/40 Those who have been expelled from their homes without ajust cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah. And hadthere not been Allah's repelling some people by others,certainly there would have been pulled down cloisters andchurches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah's name ismuch remembered; and surely Allah will help him who helpsHis cause; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.
22/41 Those who, should We establish them in the land, willkeep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and enjoin good andforbid evil; and Allah's is the end of affairs.
22/42 And if they reject you, then already before you did thepeople of Nuh and Ad and Samood reject (prophets).
22/43 And the people of Ibrahim and the people of Lut,
22/44 As well as those of Madyan and Musa (too) was rejected,but I gave respite to the unbelievers, then did I overtakethem, so how (severe) was My disapproval.
22/45 So how many a town did We destroy while it was unjust,so it was fallen down upon its roofs, and (how many a)deserted well and palace raised high.
22/46 Have they not travelled in the land so that they shouldhave hearts with which to understand, or ears with which tohear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, butblind are the hearts which are in the breasts.
22/47 And they ask you to hasten on the punishment, and Allahwill by no means fail in His promise, and surely a day withyour Lord is as a thousand years of what you number.
22/48 And how many a town to which I gave respite while it wasunjust, then I overtook it, and to Me is the return.
22/49 Say: O people! I am only a plain warner to you.
22/50 Then (as for) those who believe and do good, they shallhave forgiveness and an honorable sustenance.
22/51 And (as for) those who strive to oppose Ourcommunications, they shall be the inmates of the flamingfire.
22/52 And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet,but when he desired, the Shaitan made a suggestionrespecting his desire; but Allah annuls that which theShaitan casts, then does Allah establish His communications,and Allah is Knowing, Wise,
22/53 So that He may make what the Shaitan casts a trial forthose in whose hearts is disease and those whose hearts arehard; and most surely the unjust are in a great opposition,
22/54 And that those who have been given the knowledge mayknow that it is the truth from your Lord, so they maybelieve in it and their hearts may be lowly before it; andmost surely Allah is the Guide of those who believe into aright path.
22/55 And those who disbelieve shall not cease to be in doubtconcerning it until the hour overtakes them suddenly, orthere comes on them the chastisement of a destructive day.
22/56 The kingdom on that day shall be Allah's; He will judgebetween them; so those who believe and do good will be ingardens of bliss.
22/57 And (as for) those who disbelieve in and reject Ourcommunications, these it is who shall have a disgracefulchastisement.
22/58 And (as for) those who fly in Allah's way and are thenslain or die, Allah will most certainly grant them a goodlysustenance, and most surely Allah is the best Giver ofsustenance.
22/59 He will certainly cause them to enter a place ofentrance which they shall be well pleased with, and mostsurely Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.
22/60 That (shall be so); and he who retaliates with the likeof that with which he has been afflicted and he has beenoppressed, Allah will most certainly aid him; mostsurely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.
22/61 That is because Allah causes the night to enter into theday and causes the day to enter into the night, and becauseAllah is Hearing, Seeing.
22/62 That is because Allah is the Truth, and that what theycall upon besides Him-- that is the falsehood, and becauseAllah is the High, the Great.
22/63 Do you not see that Allah sends down water from thecloud so the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Benignant,Aware.
22/64 His is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is inthe earth; and most surely Allah is the Self-sufficient, thePraised.
22/65 Do you not see that Allah has made subservient to youwhatsoever is in the earth and the ships running in the seaby His command? And He withholds the heaven from falling onthe earth except with His permission; most surely Allah isCompassionate, Merciful to men.
22/66 And He it is Who has brought you to life, then He willcause you to die, then bring you to life (again); mostsurely man is ungrateful.
22/67 To every nation We appointed acts of devotion which theyobserve, therefore they should not dispute with you aboutthe matter and call to your Lord; most surely you are on aright way.
22/68 And if they contend with you, say: Allah best knows whatyou do.
22/69 Allah will judge between you on the day of resurrectionrespecting that in which you differ.
22/70 Do you not know that Allah knows what is in the heavenand the earth? Surely this is in a book; surely this is easyto Allah.
22/71 And they serve besides Allah that for which He has notsent any authority, and that of which they have noknowledge; and for the unjust there shall be no helper.
22/72 And when Our clear communications are recited to themyou will find denial on the faces of those who disbelieve;they almost spring upon those who recite to them Ourcommunications. Say: Shall I inform you of what is worsethan this? The fire; Allah has promised it to those whodisbelieve; and how evil the resort!
22/73 O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen toit: surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannotcreate fly, though they should all gather for it, and shouldthe fly snatch away anything from them, they could not takeit back from i weak are the invoker and the invoked.
22/74 They have not estimated Allah with the estimation that idue to Him; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.
22/75 Allah chooses messengers from among the angels and fromamong the men; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing.
22/76 He knows what is before them and what is behind them andto Allah are all affairs turned back.
22/77 O you who believe! bow down and prostrate yourselves andserve your Lord, and do good that you may succeed.
22/78 And strive hard in (the way of) Allah, (such) a strivinga is due to Him; He has chosen you and has not laid upon youan hardship in religion; the faith of your father Ibrahim;He named you Muslims before and in this, that the Messengermay be a bearer of witness to you, and you may be bearers ofwitness to the people; therefore keep up prayer and pay thepoor-rate and hold fast by Allah; He is your Guardian; howexcellent the Guardian and how excellent the Helper!
23/1 Successful indeed are the believers,
23/2 Who are humble in their prayers,
23/3 And who keep aloof from what is vain,
23/4 And who are givers of poor-rate,
23/5 And who guard their private parts,
23/6 Except before their mates or those whom their right handspossess, for they surely are not blameable,
23/7 But whoever seeks to go beyond that, these are they thatexceed the limits;
23/8 And those who are keepers of their trusts and theircovenant,
23/9 And those who keep a guard on their prayers;
23/10 These are they who are the heirs,
23/11 Who shall inherit the Paradise; they shall abidetherein.
23/12 And certainly We created man of an extract of clay,
23/13 Then We made him a small seed in a firm resting-place,
23/14 Then We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot alump of flesh, then We made (in) the lump of flesh bones,then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it togrow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best ofthe creators.
23/15 Then after that you will most surely die.
23/16 Then surely on the day of resurrection you shall beraised.
23/17 And certainly We made above you seven heavens; and neverare We heedless of creation.
23/18 And We send down water from the cloud according to ameasure, then We cause it to settle in the earth, and mostsurely We are able to carry it away.
23/19 Then We cause to grow thereby gardens of palm trees andgrapes for you; you have in them many fruits and from themdo you eat;
23/20 And a tree that grows out of Mount Sinai which producesoil and a condiment for those who eat.
23/21 And most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle:We make you to drink of what is in their bellies, and youhave in them many advantages and of them you eat,
23/22 And on them and on the ships you are borne.
23/23 And certainly We sent Nuh to his people, and he said: Omy people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; willyou not then guard (against evil)?
23/24 And the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among hispeople said: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves whodesires that he may have superiority over you, and if Allahhad pleased, He could certainly have sent down angels. Wehave not heard of this among our fathers of yore:
23/25 He is only a madman, so bear with him for a time.
23/26 He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me aliar.
23/27 So We revealed to him, saying: Make the ark before Oureyes and (according to) Our revelation; and when Our commandis given and the valley overflows, take into it of everykind a pair, two, and your followers, except those amongthem against whom the word has gone forth, and do not speakto Me in respect of those who are unjust; surely they shallbe drowned.
23/28 And when you are firmly seated, you and those with you,in the ark, say: All praise is due to Allah who delivered usfrom the unjust people:
23/29 And say: O my Lord! cause me to disembark a blessedalighting, and Thou art the best to cause to alight.
23/30 Most surely there are signs in this, and most surely Weare ever trying (men).
23/31 Then We raised up after them another generation.
23/32 So We sent among them a messenger from among them,saying: Serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; willyou not then guard (against evil)?
23/33 And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and calledthe meeting of the hereafter a lie, and whom We had givenplenty to enjoy in this world's life, said: This is nothingbut a mortal like yourselves, eating of what you eat fromand drinking of what you drink.
23/34 And if you obey a mortal like yourselves, then mostsurely you will be losers:
23/35 What! does he threaten you that when you are dead andbecome dust and bones that you shall then be brought forth?
23/36 Far, far is that which you are threatened with.
23/37 There is naught but our life in this world; we die andwe live and we shall not be raised again.
23/38 He is naught but a man who has forged a lie againstAllah, and we are not going to believe in him.
23/39 He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me aliar.
23/40 He said: In a little while they will most certainly berepenting.
23/41 So the punishment overtook them in justice, and We madethem as rubbish; so away with the unjust people.
23/42 Then We raised after them other generations.
23/43 No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone(it).
23/44 Then We sent Our messengers one after another; wheneverthere came to a people their messenger, they called him aliar, so We made some of them follow others and We made themstories; so away with a people who do not believe!
23/45 Then We sent Musa and his brother Haroun, with Ourcommunications and a clear authority,
23/46 To Firon and his chiefs, but they behaved haughtily andthey were an insolent people.
23/47 And they said: What! shall we believe in two mortalslike ourselves while their people serve us?
23/48 So they rejected them and became of those who weredestroyed.
23/49 And certainly We gave Musa the Book that they may followa right direction.
23/50 And We made the son of Marium and his mother a sign, andWe gave them a shelter on a lofty ground having meadows andsprings.
23/51 O messengers! eat of the good things and do good; surely Iknow what you do.
23/52 And surely this your religion is one religion and I amyour Lord, therefore be careful (of your duty) to Me.
23/53 But they cut off their religion among themselves intosects, each part rejoicing in that which is with them.
23/54 Therefore leave them in their overwhelming ignorancetill
23/55 Do they think that by what We aid them with of wealthand children,
23/56 We are hastening to them of good things? Nay, they donot perceive.
23/57 Surely they who from fear of their Lord are cautious,
23/58 And those who believe in the communications of theirLord,
23/59 And those who do not associate (aught) with their Lord,
23/60 And those who give what they give (in alms) while theirhearts are full of fear that to their Lord they must return,
23/61 These hasten to good things and they are foremost in(attaining) them.
23/62 And We do not lay on any soul a burden except to theextent of its ability, and with Us is a book which speaksthe truth, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
23/63 Nay, their hearts are in overwhelming ignorance withrespect to it and they have besides this other deeds whichthey do.
23/64 Until when We overtake those who lead easy lives amongthem with punishment, lo! they cry for succor.
23/65 Cry not for succor this day; surely you shall not begiven help from Us.
23/66 My communications were indeed recited to you, but youused to turn back on your heels,
23/67 In arrogance; talking nonsense about the Quran, and lefthim like one telling fables by night.
23/68 Is it then that they do not ponder over what is said, oris it that there has come to them that which did not come totheir fathers of old?
23/69 Or is it that they have not recognized their Messenger, sothat they deny him?
23/70 Or do they say: There is madness in him? Nay! he hasbrought them the truth, and most of them are averse from thetruth.
23/71 And should the truth follow their low desires, surelythe heavens and the earth and all those who are thereinwould have perished. Nay! We have brought to them theirreminder, but from their reminder they turn aside.
23/72 Or is it that you ask them a recompense? But therecompense of your Lord is best, and He is the best of thosewho provide sustenance.
23/73 And most surely you invite them to a right way.
23/74 And most surely those who do not believe in thehereafter are deviating from the way.
23/75 And if We show mercy to them and remove the distressthey have, they would persist in their inordinacy, blindlywandering on.
23/76 And already We overtook them with chastisement, but theywere not submissive to their Lord, nor do they humblethemselves.
23/77 Until when We open upon them a door of severechastisement, lo! they are in despair at it.
23/78 And He it is Who made for you the ears and the eyes andthe hearts; little is it that you give thanks.
23/79 And He it is Who multiplied you in the earth, and to Himyou shall be gathered.
23/80 And He it is Who gives life and causes death, and (in)His (control) is the alternation of the night and the day;do you not then understand?
23/81 Nay, they say the like of what the ancients said:
23/82 They say: What! When we are dead and become dust andbones, shall we then be raised?
23/83 Certainly we are promised this, and (so were) ourfathers aforetime; this is naught but stories of those ofold.
23/84 Say: Whose is the earth, and whoever is therein, if youknow?
23/85 They will say: Allah's. Say: Will you not then mind?
23/86 Say: Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lordof the mighty dominion?
23/87 They will say: (This is) Allah's. Say: Will you not thenguard (against evil)?
23/88 Say: Who is it in Whose hand is the kingdom of allthings and Who gives succor, but against Him Succor is notgiven, if you do but know?
23/89 They will say: (This is) Allah's. Say: From whence areyou then deceived?
23/90 Nay! We have brought to them the truth, and most surelythey are liars.
23/91 Never did Allah take to Himself a son, and never wasthere with him any (other) god-- in that case would each godhave certainly taken away what he created, and some of themwould certainly have overpowered others; glory be to Allahabove what they describe!
23/92 The Knower of the unseen and the seen, so may He beexalted above what they associate (with Him).
23/93 Say: O my Lord! if Thou shouldst make me see what theyare threatened with:
23/94 My Lord! then place me not with the unjust.
23/95 And most surely We are well able to make you see what Wethreaten them with.
23/96 Repel evil by what is best; We know best what theydescribe.
23/97 And say: O my Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from the evilsuggestions of the Shaitans;
23/98 And I seek refuge in Thee! O my Lord! from theirpresence.
23/99 Until when death overtakes one of them, he says: Send meback, my Lord, send me back;
23/100 Haply I may do good in that which I have left. By nomeans! it is a (mere) word that he speaks; and before themis a barrier until the day they are raised.
23/101 So when the trumpet is blown, there shall be no ties ofrelationship between them on that day, nor shall they ask ofeach other.
23/102 Then as for him whose good deeds are preponderant,these are the successful.
23/103 And as for him whose good deeds are light, these arethey who shall have lost their souls, abiding in hell
23/104 The fire shall scorch their faces, and they thereinshall be in severe affliction.
23/105 Were not My communications recited to you? But you usedto reject them.
23/106 They shall say: O our Lord! our adversity overcame usand we were an erring people:
23/107 O our Lord! Take us out of it; then if we return (toevil) surely we shall be unjust.
23/108 He shall say: Go away into it and speak nat to Me;
23/109 Surely there was a party of My servants who said: O OUI. Lord! we believe, so do Thou forgive us and have mercy onus, and Thou art the best of the Merciful ones.
23/110 But you took them for a mockery until they made youforget My remembrance and you used to laugh at them.
23/111 Surely I have rewarded them this day because they werepatient, that they are the achievers.
23/112 He will say: How many years did you tarry in the earth?
23/113 They will say: We tarried a day or part of a day, butask those who keep account.
23/114 He will say: You did tarry but a little-- had you butknown (it):
23/115 What! did you then think that We had created you invain and that you shall not be returned to Us?
23/116 So exalted be Allah, the True King; no god is there butHe, the Lord of the honorable dominion.
23/117 And whoever invokes with Allah another god-- he has noproof of this-- his reckoning is only with his Lord; surelythe unbelievers shall not be successful.
23/118 And say: O my Lord! forgive and have mercy, and Thouart the best of the Merciful ones.
24/1 (This is) a chapter which We have revealed and madeobligatory and in which We have revealed clearcommunications that you may be mindful.
24/2 (As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog eachof them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity forthem detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah, if youbelieve in Allah and the last day, and let a party ofbelievers witness their chastisement.
24/3 The fornicator shall not marry any but a fornicatress oridolatress, and (as for) the fornicatress, none shall marryher but a fornicator or an idolater; and it is forbidden tothe believers.
24/4 And those who accuse free women then do not bring fourwitnesses, flog them, (giving) eighty stripes, and do notadmit any evidence from them ever; and these it is that arethe transgressors,
24/5 Except those who repent after this and act aright, forsurely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
24/6 And (as for) those who accuse their wives and have nowitnesses except themselves, the evidence of one of these(should be taken) four times, bearing Allah to witness thathe is most surely of the truthful ones.
24/7 And the fifth (time) that the curse of Allah be on him ifhe is one of the liars.
24/8 And it shall avert the chastisement from her if shetestify four times, bearing Allah to witness that he is mostsurely one of the liars;
24/9 And the fifth (time) that the wrath of Allah be on her ifhe is one of the truthful.
24/10 And were it not for Allah's grace upon you and Hismercy-- and that Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), Wise!
24/11 Surely they who concocted the lie are a party from amongyou. Do not regard it an evil to you; nay, it is good foryou. Every man of them shall have what he has earned of sin;and (as for) him who took upon himself the main partthereof, he shall have a grievous chastisement.
24/12 Why did not the believing men and the believing women,when you heard it, think well of their own people, and say:This is an evident falsehood?
24/13 Why did they not bring four witnesses of it? But as theyhave not brought witnesses they are liars before Allah.
24/14 And were it not for Allah's grace upon you and His mercyin this world and the hereafter, a grievous chastisementwould certainly have touched you on account of the discoursewhich you entered into.
24/15 When you received it with your tongues and spoke withyour mouths what you had no knowledge of, and you deemed itan easy matter while with Allah it was grievous.
24/16 And why did you not, when you heard it, say: It does notbeseem us that we should talk of it; glory be to Thee! thisis a great calumny?
24/17 Allah admonishes you that you should not return to thelike of it ever again if you are believers.
24/18 And Allah makes clear to you the communications; andAllah is Knowing, Wise.
24/19 Surely (as for) those who love that scandal shouldcirculate respecting those who believe, they shall have agrievous chastisement in this world and the hereafter; andAllah knows, while you do not know.
24/20 And were it not for Allah's grace on you and His mercy,and that Allah is Compassionate, Merciful.
24/21 O you who believe! do not follow the footsteps of theShaitan, and whoever follows the footsteps of the Shaitan,then surely he bids the doing of indecency and evil; andwere it not for Allah's grace upon you and His mercy, notone of you would have ever been pure, but Allah purifieswhom He pleases; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
24/22 And let not those of you who possess grace and abundanceswear against giving to the near of kin and the poor andthose who have fled in Allah's way, and they should pardonand turn away. Do you not love that Allah should forgiveyou? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
24/23 Surely those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware(of the evil), are cursed in this world and the hereafter,and they shall have a grievous chastisement.
24/24 On the day when their tongues and their hands and theirfeet shall bear witness against them as to what they did.
24/25 On that day Allah will pay back to them in full theirjust reward, and they shall know that Allah is the evidentTruth.
24/26 Bad women .are for bad men and bad men are for badwomen. Good women are for good men and good men are for goodwomen
24/27 O you who believe! Do not enter houses other than yourown houses until you have asked permission and saluted theirinmates; this is better for you, that you may be mindful.
24/28 But if you do not find any one therein, then do notenter them until permission is given to you; and if it issaid to you: Go back, then go back; this is purer for you;and Allah is Cognizant of what you do.
24/29 It is no sin in you that you enter uninhabited houseswherein you have your necessaries; and Allah knows what youdo openly and what you hide.
24/30 Say to the believing men that they cast down their looksand guard their private parts; that is purer for them;surely Allah is Aware of what they do.
24/31 And say to the believing women that they cast down theirlooks and guard their private parts and do not display theirornaments except what appears thereof, and let them weartheir head-coverings over their bosoms, and not displaytheir ornaments except to their husbands or their fathers,or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sonsof their husbands, or their brothers, or their brothers'sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or those whomtheir right hands possess, or the male servants not havingneed (of women), or the children who have not attainedknowledge of what is hidden of women; and let them notstrike their feet so that what they hide of their ornamentsmay be known; and turn to Allah all of you, O believers! sothat you may be successful.
24/32 And marry those among you who are single and those whoare fit among your male slaves and your female slaves; ifthey are needy, Allah will make them free from want out ofHis grace; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
24/33 And let those who do not find the means to marry keepchaste until Allah makes them free from want out of Hisgrace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from amongthose whom your right hands possess, give them the writingif you know any good in them, and give them of the wealth ofAllah which He has given you; and do not compel your slavegirls to prostitution, when they desire to keep chaste, inorder to seek the frail good of this world's life; andwhoever compels them, then surely after their compulsionAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
24/34 And certainly We have sent to you clear communicationsand a description of those who have passed away before you,and an admonition to those who guard (against evil).
24/35 Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; alikeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, thelamp is in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightlyshining star, lit from a blessed olive-tree, neither easternnor western, the oil whereof almost gives light though firetouch it not-- light upon light-- Allah guides to His lightwhom He pleases, and Allah sets forth parables for men, andAllah is Cognizant of all things.
24/36 In houses which Allah has permitted to be exalted andthat His name may be remembered in them; there glorify Himtherein in the mornings and the evenings,
24/37 Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts fromthe remembrance of Allah and the keeping up of prayer andthe giving of poor-rate; they fear a day in which the heartsand eyes shall turn about;
24/38 That Allah may give them the best reward of what theyhave done, and give them more out of His grace; and Allahgives sustenance to whom He pleases without measure.
24/39 And (as for) those who disbelieve, their deeds are likethe mirage in a desert, which the thirsty man deems to bewater; until when he comes to it he finds it to be naught,and there he finds Allah, so He pays back to him hisreckoning in full; and Allah is quick in reckoning;
24/40 Or like utter darkness in the deep sea: there covers ita wave above which is another wave, above which is a cloud,(layers of) utter darkness one above another; when he holdsout his hand, he is almost unable to see it; and towhomsoever Allah does not give light, he has no light.
24/41 Do you not see that Allah is He Whom do glorify allthose who are in the heavens and the earth, and the (very)birds with expanded wings? He knows the prayer of each oneand its glorification, and Allah is Cognizant of what theydo.
24/42 And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth,and to Allah is the eventual coming.
24/43 Do you not see that Allah drives along the clouds, thengathers them together, then piles them up, so that you seethe rain coming forth from their midst? And He sends down ofthe clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail,afflicting therewith whom He pleases and turning it awayfrom whom He pleases; the flash of His lightning almosttakes away the sight.
24/44 Allah turns over the night and the day; most surelythere is a lesson in this for those who have sight.
24/45 And Allah has created from water every living creature:so of them is that which walks upon its belly, and of themis that which walks upon two feet, and of them is that whichwalks upon four; Allah creates what He pleases; surely Allahhas power over all things.
24/46 Certainly We have revealed clear communications, andAllah guides whom He pleases to the right way.
24/47 And they say: We believe in Allah and in the messenger andwe obey; then a party of them turn back after this, andthese are not believers.
24/48 And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger thathe may judge between them, lo! a party of them turn aside.
24/49 And if the truth be on their side, they come to himquickly, obedient.
24/50 Is there in their hearts a disease, or are they indoubt, or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will actwrongfully towards them? Nay! they themselves are theunjust.
24/51 The response of the believers, when they are invited toAllah and His Messenger that he may judge between them, isonly to say: We hear and we obey; and these it is that arethe successful.
24/52 And he who obeys Allah and His Messenger, and fears Allah,and is careful of (his duty to) Him, these it is that arethe achievers.
24/53 And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of theiroaths that if you command them they would certainly goforth. Say: Swear not; reasonable obedience (is desired);surely Allah is aware of what you do.
24/54 Say: Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turnback, then on him rests that which is imposed on him and onyou rests that which is imposed on you; and if you obey him,you are on the right way; and nothing rests on the Messengerbut clear delivering (of the message).
24/55 Allah has promised to those of you who believe and dogood that He will most certainly make them rulers in theearth as He made rulers those before them, and that He willmost certainly establish for them their religion which Hehas chosen for them, and that He will most certainly, aftertheir fear, give them security in exchange; they shall serveMe, not associating aught with Me; and whoever is ungratefulafter this, these it is who are the. transgressors.
24/56 And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and obey theMessenger, so that mercy may be shown to you.
24/57 Think not that those who disbelieve shall escape in theearth, and their abode is the fire; and certainly evil isthe resort!
24/58 O you who believe! let those whom your right handspossess and those of you who have not attained to pubertyask permission of you three times; before the morningprayer, and when you put off your clothes at midday insummer, and after the prayer of the nightfall; these arethree times of privacy for you; neither is it a sin for younor for them besides these, some of you must go round about(waiting) upon others; thus does Allah make clear to you thecommunications, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
24/59 And when the children among you have attained topuberty, let them seek permission as those before themsought permission; thus does Allah make clear to you Hiscommunications, and Allah is knowing, Wise.
24/60 And (as for) women advanced in years who do not hope fora marriage, it is no sin for them if they put off theirclothes without displaying their ornaments; and if theyrestrain themselves it is better for them; and Allah isHearing, Knowing.
24/61 There is no blame on the blind man, nor is there blameon the lame, nor is there blame on the sick, nor onyourselves that you eat from your houses, or your fathers'houses or your mothers' houses, or your brothers' houses, oryour sisters' houses, or your paternal uncles' houses, oryour paternal aunts' houses, or your maternal uncles'houses, or your maternal aunts' houses, or what you possessthe keys of, or your friends' (houses). It is no sin in youthat you eat together or separately. So when you enterhouses, greet your people with a salutation from Allah,blessed (and) goodly; thus does Allah make clear to you thecommunications that you may understand.
24/62 Only those are believers who believe in Allah and HisMessenger, and when they are with him on a momentous affairthey go not away until they have asked his permission;surely they who ask your permission are they who believe inAllah and His Messenger; so when they ask your permission forsome affair of theirs, give permission to whom you please ofthem and ask forgiveness for them from Allah; surely Allahis Forgiving, Merciful.
24/63 Do not hold the Messenger's calling (you) among you to belike your calling one to the other; Allah indeed knows thosewho steal away from among you, concealing themselves;therefore let those beware who go against his order lest atrial afflict them or there befall them a painfulchastisement.
24/64 Now surely Allah's is whatever is in the heavens and theearth; He knows indeed that to which you are conformingyourselves; and on the day on which they are returned to HimHe will inform them of what they did; and Allah is Cognizantof all things.
25/1 Blessed is He Who sent down the Furqan upon His servantthat he may be a warner to the nations;
25/2 He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth,and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who has noassociate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, thenordained for it a measure.
25/3 And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not createanything while they are themselves created, and they controlnot for themselves any harm or profit, and they control notdeath nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.
25/4 And those who disbelieve say: This is nothing but a liewhich he has forged, and other people have helped him at it;so indeed they have done injustice and (uttered) afalsehood.
25/5 And they say: The stories of the ancients-- he has got themwritten-- so these are read out to him morning and evening.
25/6 Say: He has revealed it Who knows the secret in theheavens and the earth; surely He is ever Forgiving,Merciful.
25/7 And they say: What is the matter with this Messenger thathe eats food and goes about in the markets; why has not anangel been sent down to him, so that he should have been awarner with him?
25/8 Or (why is not) a treasure sent down to him, or he ismade to have a garden from which he should eat? And theunjust say: You do not follow any but a man deprived ofreason.
25/9 See what likenesses do they apply to you, so they havegone astray, therefore they shall not be able to find a way.
25/10 Blessed is He Who, if He please, will give you what isbetter than this, gardens beneath which rivers flow, and Hewill give you palaces.
25/11 But they reject the hour, and We have prepared a burningfire for him who rejects the hour.
25/12 When it shall come into their sight from a distantplace, they shall hear its vehement raging and roaring.
25/13 And when they are cast into a narrow place in it, bound,they shall there call out for destruction.
25/14 Call not this day for one destruction, but call fordestructions many.
25/15 Say: Is this better or the abiding garden which thosewho guard (against evil) are promised? That shall be areward and a resort for them.
25/16 They shall have therein what they desire abiding (init); it is a promise which it is proper to be prayed forfrom your Lord.
25/17 And on the day when He shall gather them, and whateverthey served besides Allah, He shall say: Was it you who ledastray these My servants, or did they themselves go astrayfrom the path?
25/18 They shall say: Glory be to Thee; it was not beseemingfor us that we should take any guardians besides Thee, butThou didst make them and their fathers to enjoy until theyforsook the reminder, and they were a people in perdition,
25/19 So they shall indeed give you the lie in what you say,then you shall not be able to ward off or help, and whoeveramong you is unjust, We will make him taste a greatchastisement.
25/20 And We have not sent before you any messengers but theymost surely ate food and went about in the markets; and Wehave made some of you a trial for others; will you bearpatiently? And your Lord is ever Seeing.
25/21 And those who do not hope for Our meeting, say: Why havenot angels been sent down upon us, or (why) do we not seeour Lord? Now certainly they are too proud of themselves andhave revolted in great revolt.
25/22 On the day when they shall see the angels, there shallbe no joy on that day for the guilty, and they shall say: Itis a forbidden thing totally prohibited.
25/23 And We will proceed to what they have done of deeds, soWe shall render them as scattered floating dust.
25/24 The dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in abetter abiding-place and a better resting-place.
25/25 And on the day when the heaven shall burst asunder withthe clouds, and the angels shall be sent down descending (inranks).
25/26 The kingdom on that day shall rightly belong to theBeneficent Allah, and a hard day shall it be for theunbelievers.
25/27 And the day when the unjust one shall bite his handssaying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Messenger
25/28 O woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for afriend !
25/29 Certainly he led me astray from the reminder after ithad come to me; and the Shaitan fails to aid man.
25/30 And the Messenger cried out: O my Lord! surely my peoplehave treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.
25/31 And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy fromamong the sinners and sufficient is your Lord as a Guide anda Helper.
25/32 And those who disbelieve say: Why has not the Quran beenrevealed to him all at once? Thus, that We may strengthenyour heart by it and We have arranged it well in arranging.
25/33 And they shall not bring to you any argument, but Wehave brought to you (one) with truth and best insignificance.
25/34 (As for) those who shall be gathered upon their faces tohell, they are in a worse plight and straying farther awayfrom the path.
25/35 And certainly We gave Musa the Book and We appointedwith him his brother Haroun an aider.
25/36 Then We said: Go you both to the people who rejected Ourcommunications; so We destroyed them with utter destruction.
25/37 And the people of Nuh, when they rejected the messengers,We drowned them, and made them a sign for men, and We haveprepared a painful punishment for the unjust;
25/38 And Ad and Samood and the dwellers of the Rass and manygenerations between them.
25/39 And to every one We gave examples and every one did Wedestroy with utter destruction.
25/40 And certainly they have (often) passed by the town onwhich was rained an evil rain; did they not then see it?Nay! they did not hope to be raised again.
25/41 And when they see you, they do not take you for aughtbut a mockery: Is this he whom Allah has raised to be anmessenger?
25/42 He had well-nigh led us astray from our gods had we notadhered to them patiently! And they will know, when they seethe punishment, who is straying farther off from the path.
25/43 Have you seen him who takes his low desires for his god?Will you then be a protector over him?
25/44 Or do you think that most of them do hear or understand?They are nothing but as cattle; nay, they are strayingfarther off from the path.
25/45 Have you not considered (the work of) your Lord, how Heextends the shade? And if He had pleased He would certainlyhave made it stationary; then We have made the sun anindication of it
25/46 Then We take it to Ourselves, taking little by little.
25/47 And He it is Who made the night a covering for you, andthe sleep a rest, and He made the day to rise up again.
25/48 And He it is Who sends the winds as good news before Hismercy; and We send down pure water from the cloud,
25/49 That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give itfor drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and manypeople.
25/50 And certainly We have repeated this to them that theymay be mindful, but the greater number of men do not consentto aught except denying.
25/51 And if We had pleased We would certainly have raised awarner in every town.
25/52 So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive againstthem a mighty striving with it.
25/53 And He it is Who has made two seas to flow freely, theone sweet that subdues thirst by its sweetness, and theother salt that burns by its saltness; and between the twoHe has made a barrier and inviolable obstruction.
25/54 And He it is Who has created man from the water, then Hehas made for him blood relationship and marriagerelationship, and your Lord is powerful.
25/55 And they serve besides Allah that which neither profitsthem nor causes them harm; and the unbeliever is a partisanagainst his Lord.
25/56 And We have not sent you but as a giver of good news andas a warner.
25/57 Say: I do not ask you aught in return except that he whowill, may take the way to his Lord.
25/58 And rely on the Ever-living Who dies not, and celebrateHis praise; and Sufficient is He as being aware of thefaults of His servants,
25/59 Who created the heavens and the earth and what isbetween them in six periods, and He is firmly established onthe throne of authority; the Beneficent Allah, so askrespecting it one aware.
25/60 And when it is said to them: Prostrate to theBeneficent Allah, they say: And what is the Allah ofbeneficence? Shall we prostrate to what you bid us? Andit adds to their aversion.
25/61 Blessed is He Who made the constellations in the heavensand made therein a lamp and a shining moon.
25/62 And He it is Who made the night and the day to followeach other for him who desires to be mindful or desires tobe thankful.
25/63 And the servants of the Beneficent Allah are they who walkon the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant addressthem, they say: Peace.
25/64 And they who pass the night prostrating themselvesbefore their Lord and standing.
25/65 And they who say: O our Lord! turn away from us thepunishment of hell, surely the punishment thereof is alasting
25/66 Surely it is an evil abode and (evil) place to stay.
25/67 And they who when they spend, are neither extravagantnor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the just mean.
25/68 And they who do not call upon another god with Allah anddo not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except inthe requirements of justice, and (who) do not commitfornication and he who does this shall find a requital ofsin;
25/69 The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day ofresurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement;
25/70 Except him who repents and believes and does a gooddeed; so these are they of whom Allah changes the evil deedsto good ones; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
25/71 And whoever repents and does good, he surely turns toAllah a (goodly) turning.
25/72 And they who do not bear witness to what is false, andwhen they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly.
25/73 And they who, when reminded of the communications oftheir Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf and blind.
25/74 And they who say: O our Lord! grant us in our wives andour offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us guides tothose who guard (against evil).
25/75 These shall be rewarded with high places because theywere patient, and shall be met therein with greetings andsalutations.
25/76 Abiding therein; goodly the abode and the resting-place.
25/77 Say: My Lord would not care for you were it not for yourprayer; but you have indeed rejected (the truth), so thatwhich shall cleave shall come.
26/1 Ta Sin Mim.
26/2 These are the verses of the Book that makes (things)clear.
26/3 Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they donot believe.
26/4 If We please, We should send down upon them a sign fromthe heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.
26/5 And there does not come to them a new reminder from theBeneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.
26/6 So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore thenews of that which they mock shall soon come to them.
26/7 Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kindWe have caused to grow in it?
26/8 Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of themwill not believe.
26/9 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26/10 And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to theunjust people,
26/11 The people of Firon: Will they not guard (againstevil)?
26/12 He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will rejectme;
26/13 And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent,therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);
26/14 And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear thatthey may slay me.
26/15 He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs;surely We are with you, hearing;
26/16 Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the messengersof the Lord of the worlds:
26/17 Then send with us the children of Israel.
26/18 (Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child amongus, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?
26/19 And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and youare one of the ungrateful.
26/20 He said: I did it then while I was of those unable tosee the right course;
26/21 So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lordgranted me wisdom and made me of the messengers;
26/22 And is it a favor of which you remind me that you haveenslaved the children of Israel?
26/23 Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?
26/24 He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatis between them, if you would be sure.
26/25 (Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?
26/26 He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.
26/27 Said he: Most surely your Messenger who is sent to you ismad.
26/28 He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what isbetween them, if you understand.
26/29 Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will mostcertainly make you one of the imprisoned.
26/30 He said: What! even if I bring to you somethingmanifest?
26/31 Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.
26/32 So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obviousserpent,
26/33 And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white tothe onlookers.
26/34 (Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely thisis a skillful magician,
26/35 Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic;what is it then that you advise?
26/36 They said: Give him and his brother respite and sendheralds into the cities
26/37 That they should bring to you every skillful magician.
26/38 So the magicians were gathered together at the appointedtime on the fixed day,
26/39 And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?
26/40 Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are thevanquishers.
26/41 And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shallwe get a reward if we are the vanquishers?
26/42 He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those whoare made near.
26/43 Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.
26/44 So they cast down their cords and their rods and said:By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.
26/45 Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed upthe lies they told.
26/46 And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;
26/47 They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:
26/48 The Lord of Musa and Haroun.
26/49 Said he: You believe in him before I give youpermission; most surely he is the chief of you who taughtyou the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut offyour hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly Iwill crucify you all.
26/50 They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;
26/51 Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongsbecause we are the first of the believers.
26/52 And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with Myservants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.
26/53 So Firon sent heralds into the cities;
26/54 Most surely these are a small company;
26/55 And most surely they have enraged us;
26/56 And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.
26/57 So We turned them out of gardens and springs,
26/58 And treasures and goodly dwellings,
26/59 Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the childrenof Israel.
26/60 Then they pursued them at sunrise.
26/61 So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions ofMusa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.
26/62 He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He willshow me a way out.
26/63 Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with yourstaff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like ahuge mound.
26/64 And We brought near, there, the others.
26/65 And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.
26/66 Then We drowned the others.
26/67 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them donot believe.
26/68 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26/69 And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.
26/70 When he said to his father and his people: What do youworship?
26/71 They said: We worship idols, so we shall be theirvotaries.
26/72 He said: Do they hear you when you call?
26/73 Or do they profit you or cause you harm?
26/74 They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.
26/75 He said: Have you then considered what you have beenworshipping:
26/76 You and your ancient sires.
26/77 Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord ofthe worlds;
26/78 Who created me, then He has shown me the way:
26/79 And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink:
26/80 And when I am sick, then He restores me to health
26/81 And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life;
26/82 And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the dayof judgment.
26/83 My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good
26/84 And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity
26/85 And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss
26/86 And forgive my father, for surely he is of those whohave gone astray;
26/87 And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised
26/88 The day on which property will not avail, nor sons
26/89 Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (fromevil).
26/90 And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard(against evil),
26/91 And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones,
26/92 And it shall be said to them: Where are those that youused to worship;
26/93 Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?
26/94 So they shall be thrown down into it, they and theerring ones,
26/95 And the hosts of the Shaitan, all.
26/96 They shall say while they contend therein:
26/97 By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error,
26/98 When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds;
26/99 And none but the guilty led us astray;
26/100 So we have no intercessors,
26/101 Nor a true friend;
26/102 But if we could but once return, we would be of thebelievers.
26/103 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of themdo not believe.
26/104 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26/105 The people of Nuh rejected the messengers.
26/106 When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard(against evil)?
26/107 Surely I am a faithful messenger to you;
26/108 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah andobey me
26/109 And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward isonly with the Lord of the worlds:
26/110 So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me.
26/111 They said: Shall we believe in you while the meanestfollow you?
26/112 He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do?
26/113 Their account is only with my Lord, if you couldperceive
26/114 And I am not going to drive away the believers;
26/115 I am naught but a plain warner.
26/116 They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall mostcertainly be of those stoned to death.
26/117 He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie!
26/118 Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just)judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of thebelievers.
26/119 So We delivered him and those with him in the ladenark.
26/120 Then We drowned the rest afterwards
26/121 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of themdo not believe.
26/122 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26/123 Ad gave the lie to the messengers.
26/124 When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard(against evil)?
26/125 Surely I am a faithful messenger to you;
26/126 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah andobey me:
26/127 And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely myreward is only with the Lord of the worlds
26/128 Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is itthat you do:
26/129 And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may
26/130 And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like)tyrants;
26/131 So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me
26/132 And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given youabundance of what you know.
26/133 He has given you abundance of cattle and children
26/134 And gardens and fountains;
26/135 Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievousday
26/136 They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish orare not one of the admonishers
26/137 This is naught but a custom of the ancients;
26/138 And we are not going to be punished.
26/139 So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Mostsurely there is a sign in this, but most of them do notbelieve.
26/140 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26/141 Samood gave the lie to the messengers
26/142 When their brother Salih said to them: Will you notguard (against evil)?
26/143 Surely I am a faithful messenger to you
26/144 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah andobey me:
26/145 And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward isonly with the Lord of the worlds:
26/146 Will you be left secure in what is here;
26/147 In gardens and fountains,
26/148 And cornfields and palm-trees having fine spadices?
26/149 And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly;
26/150 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah andobey me;
26/151 And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant,
26/152 Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright.
26/153 They said: You are only of the deluded ones;
26/154 You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring asign if you are one of the truthful.
26/155 He said: This is a she-camel; she shall have herportion of water, and you have your portion of water on anappointed time;
26/156 And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment ofa grievous day should overtake you.
26/157 But they hamstrung her, then regretted;
26/158 So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is asign in this, but most of them do not believe.
26/159 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26/160 The people of Lut gave the lie to the messengers.
26/161 When their brother Lut said to them: Will you not guard(against evil)?
26/162 Surely I am a faithful messenger to you;
26/163 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah andobey me:
26/164 And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward isonly with the Lord of the worlds;
26/165 What! do you come to the males from among the creatures
26/166 And leave what your Lord has created for you of yourwives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.
26/167 They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surelybe of those who are expelled.
26/168 He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your
26/169 My Lord ! deliver me and my followers from what they do.
26/170 So We delivered him and his followers all,
26/171 Except an old woman, among those who remained behind.
26/172 Then We utterly destroyed the others.
26/173 And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was therain on those warned.
26/174 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of themdo not believe.
26/175 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
26/176 The dwellers of the thicket gave the lie to themessengers.
26/177 When Shu'aib said to them: Will you not guard (againstevil)?
26/178 Surely I am a faithful messenger to you;
26/179 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah andobey me:
26/180 And I do not ask you any reward for it, my reward isonly with the Lord of the worlds;
26/181 Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;
26/182 And weigh (things) with a right balance,
26/183 And do not wrong men of their things, and do not actcorruptly in the earth, making mischief.
26/184 And guard against (the punishment of) Him who createdyou and the former nations.
26/185 They said: You are only of those deluded;
26/186 And you are naught but a mortal like ourselves, and weknow you to be certainly of the liars.
26/187 Therefore cause a portion of the heaven to come downupon us, if you are one of the truthful.
26/188 He said: My Lord knows best what you do.
26/189 But they called him a liar, so the punishment of theday of covering overtook them; surely it was the punishmentof a grievous day.
26/190 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of themdo not believe.
26/191 And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful.
26/192 And most surely this is a revelation from the Lord ofthe worlds.
26/193 The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,
26/194 Upon your heart that you may be of the warners
26/195 In plain Arabic language.
26/196 And most surely the same is in the scriptures of theancients.
26/197 Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of theIsraelites know it?
26/198 And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners
26/199 So that he should have recited it to them, they wouldnot have believed therein.
26/200 Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of theguilty.
26/201 They will not believe in it until they see the painfulpunishment.
26/202 And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while theyshall not perceive;
26/203 Then they will say: Shall we be respited?
26/204 What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?
26/205 Have you then considered if We let them enjoythemselves for years,
26/206 Then there comes to them that with which they arethreatened,
26/207 That which they were made to enjoy shall not availthem?
26/208 And We did not destroy any town but it had (its)warners,
26/209 To remind, and We are never unjust.
26/210 And the Shaitans have not come down with it.
26/211 And it behoves them not, and they have not the power todo (it).
26/212 Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it.
26/213 So call not upon another god with Allah, lest you be ofthose who are punished.
26/214 And warn your nearest relations,
26/215 And be kind to him who follows you of the believers.
26/216 But if they disobey you, then say: Surely I am clear ofwhat you do.
26/217 And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful,
26/218 Who sees you when you stand up.
26/219 And your turning over and over among those whoprostrate themselves before Allah.
26/220 Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
26/221 Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitansdescend?
26/222 They descend upon every lying, sinful one,
26/223 They incline their ears, and most of them are liars.
26/224 And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.
26/225 Do you not see that they wander about bewildered inevery valley?
26/226 And that they say that which they do not do,
26/227 Except those who believe and do good and remember Allahmuch, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; andthey who act unjustly shall know to what final place ofturning they shall turn back.
27/1 Ta Sin! These are the verses of the Quran and the Bookthat makes (things) clear
27/2 A guidance and good news for the believers,
27/3 Who keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and of thehereafter, they are sure.
27/4 As to those who do not believe in the hereafter, We havesurely made their deeds fair-seeming to them, but theyblindly wander on.
27/5 These are they who shall have an evil punishment, and inthe hereafter they shall be the greatest losers.
27/6 And most surely you are made to receive the Quran fromthe Wise, the Knowing Allah.
27/7 When Musa said to his family: Surely I see fire; I willbring to you from it some news, or I will bring to youtherefrom a burning firebrand so that you may warmyourselves.
27/8 So when he came to it a voice was uttered saying: Blessedis Whoever is in the fire and whatever is about it; andglory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds;
27/9 O Musa! surely I am Allah, the Mighty, the Wise;
27/10 And cast down your staff. So when he saw it in motion asif it were a serpent, he turned back retreating and did notreturn: O Musa! fear not; surely the messengers shall not fearin My presence;
27/11 Neither he who has been unjust, then he does goodinstead after evil, for surely I am the Forgiving, theMerciful:
27/12 And enter your hand into the opening of your bosom, itshall come forth white without evil; among nine signs toFiron and his people, surely they are a transgressingpeople.
27/13 So when Our clear signs came to them, they said: This isclear enchantment.
27/14 And they denied them unjustly and proudly while theirsoul had been convinced of them; consider, then how was theend of the mischief-makers.
27/15 And certainly We gave knowledge to Dawood and Sulaiman,and they both said: Praise be to Allah, Who has made us toexcel many of His believing servants.
27/16 And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir, and he said: O men! wehave been taught the language of birds, and we have beengiven all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
27/17 And his hosts of the jinn and the men and the birds weregathered to him, and they were formed into groups.
27/18 Until when they came to the valley of the Naml, aNamlite said: O Naml! enter your houses, (that) Sulaiman andhis hosts may not crush you while they do not know.
27/19 So he smiled, wondering at her word, and said: My Lord!grant me that I should be grateful for Thy favor which Thouhast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I should dogood such as Thou art pleased with, and make me enter, byThy mercy, into Thy servants, the good ones.
27/20 And he reviewed the birds, then said: How is it I seenot the hoopoe or is it that he is of the absentees?
27/21 I will most certainly punish him with a severepunishment, or kill him, or he shall bring to me a clearplea.
27/22 And he tarried not long, then said: I comprehend thatwhich you do not comprehend and I have brought to you a sureinformation from Sheba.
27/23 Surely I found a woman ruling over them, and she hasbeen given abundance and she has a mighty throne:
27/24 I found her and her people adoring the sun instead ofAllah, and the Shaitan has made their deeds fair-seeming tothem and thus turned them from the way, so they do not goaright
27/25 That they do not make obeisance to Allah, Who bringsforth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knowswhat you hide and what you make manifest:
27/26 Allah, there is no god but He: He is the Lord of mightypower.
27/27 He said: We will see whether you have told the truth orwhether you are of the liars:
27/28 Take this my letter and hand it over to them, then turnaway from them and see what (answer) they return.
27/29 She said: O chief! surely an honorable letter has beendelivered to me
27/30 Surely it is from Sulaiman, and surely it is in the nameof Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful;
27/31 Saying: exalt not yourselves against me and come to mein submission.
27/32 She said: O chiefs! give me advice respecting my affair:I never decide an affair until you are in my presence.
27/33 They said: We are possessors of strength and possessorsof mighty prowess, and the command is yours, therefore seewhat you will command.
27/34 She said: Surely the kings, when they enter a town, ruinit and make the noblest of its people to be low, and thusthey (always) do;
27/35 And surely I am going to send a present to them, andshall wait to see what (answer) do the messengers bringback.
27/36 So when he came to Sulaiman, he said: What! will youhelp me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is betterthan what He has given you. Nay, you are exultant because ofyour present;
27/37 Go back to them, so we will most certainly come to themwith hosts which they shall have no power to oppose, and wewill most certainly expel them therefrom in abasement, andthey shall be in a state of ignominy.
27/38 He said: O chiefs! which of you can bring to me herthrone before they come to me in submission?
27/39 One audacious among the jinn said: I will bring it toyou before you rise up from your place; and most surely I amstrong (and) trusty for it.
27/40 One who had the knowledge of the Book said: I will bringit to you in the twinkling of an eye. Then when he saw itsettled beside him, he said: This is of the grace of my Lordthat He may try me whether I am grateful or ungrateful; andwhoever is grateful, he is grateful only for his own soul,and whoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord isSelf-sufficient, Honored.
27/41 He said: Alter her throne for her, we will see whethershe follows the right way or is of those who do not goaright.
27/42 So when she came, it was said: Is your throne like this?She said: It is as it were the same, and we were given theknowledge before it, and we were submissive.
27/43 And what she worshipped besides Allah prevented her,surely she was of an unbelieving people.
27/44 It was said to her: Enter the palace; but when she sawit she deemed it to be a great expanse of water, and baredher legs. He said: Surely it is a palace made smooth withglass. She said: My Lord! surely I have been unjust tomyself, and I submit with Sulaiman to Allah, the Lord of theworlds.
27/45 And certainly We sent to Samood their brother Salih,saying: Serve Allah; and lo! they became two sectsquarrelling with each other.
27/46 He said: O my people! why do you seek to hasten on theevil before the good? Why do you not ask forgiveness ofAllah so that you may be dealt with mercifully?
27/47 They said: We have met with ill luck on account of youand on account of those with you. He said: The cause of yourevil fortune is with Allah; nay, you are a people who aretried.
27/48 And there were in the city nine persons who mademischief in the land and did not act aright.
27/49 They said: Swear to each other by Allah that we willcertainly make a sudden attack on him and his family bynight, then we will say to his heir: We did not witness thedestruction of his family, and we are most surely truthful.
27/50 And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan whilethey perceived not.
27/51 See, then, how was the end of their plan that Wedestroyed them and their people, all (of them).
27/52 So those are their houses fallen down because they wereunjust, most surely there is a sign in this for a people whoknow.
27/53 .And We delivered those who believed and who guarded(against evil).
27/54 And (We sent) Lut, when he said to his people: What! doyou commit indecency while you see?
27/55 What! do you indeed approach men lustfully rather thanwomen? Nay, you are a people who act ignorantly.
27/56 But the answer of his people was no other except thatthey ~s said: Turn out Lut's followers from your town;surely they are a people who would keep pure!
27/57 But We delivered him and his followers except his wife;We ordained her to be of those who remained behind.
27/58 And We rained on them a rain, and evil was the rain ofthose who had been warned.
27/59 Say: Praise be to Allah and peace on His servants whomHe has chosen: is Allah better, or what they associate (withHim)?
27/60 Nay, He Who created the heavens and the earth, and sentdown for you water from the cloud; then We cause to growthereby beautiful gardens; it is not possible for you thatyou should make the trees thereof to grow. Is there a godwith Allah? Nay! they are people who deviate.
27/61 Or, Who made the earth a restingplace, and made in itrivers, and raised on it mountains and placed between thetwo seas a barrier. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! most ofthem do not know!
27/62 Or, Who answers the distressed one when he calls uponHim and removes the evil, and He will make you successors inthe earth. Is there a god with Allah? Little is it that youmind!
27/63 Or, Who guides you in utter darkness of the land and thesea, and Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy.Is there a god with Allah? Exalted by Allah above what theyassociate (with Him).
27/64 Or, Who originates the creation, then reproduces it andWho gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth. Isthere a god With Allah? Say: Bring your proof if you aretruthful.
27/65 Say: No one in the heavens and the earth knows theunseen but Allah; and they do not know when they shall beraised.
27/66 Nay, their knowledge respecting the hereafter is slightand hasty; nay, they are in doubt about it; nay, they arequite blind to
27/67 And those who disbelieve say: What! when we have becomedust and our fathers (too), shall we certainly be broughtforth?
27/68 We have certainly been promised this, we and our fathersbefore; these are naught but stories of the ancients
27/69 Say: Travel in the earth, then see how was the end ofthe guilty.
27/70 And grieve not for them and be not distressed because ofwhat they plan.
27/71 And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if youare truthful?
27/72 Say: Maybe there may have drawn near to you somewhat ofthat which you seek to hasten on.
27/73 And surely your Lord is the Lord of grace to men, butmost of them are not grateful.
27/74 And most surely your Lord knows what their breastsconceal and what they manifest.
27/75 And there is nothing concealed in the heaven and theearth but it is in a clear book.
27/76 Surely this Quran declares to the children of Israelmost of what they differ in.
27/77 And most surely it is a guidance and a mercy for thebelievers.
27/78 Surely your Lord will judge between them by hisjudgment, and He is the Mighty, the knowing.
27/79 Therefore rely on Allah; surely you are on the cleartruth.
27/80 Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do notmake the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating.
27/81 Nor can you be a guide to the blind out of their error;you cannot make to bear (any one) except those who believein Our communications, so they submit.
27/82 And when the word shall come to pass against them, Weshall bring forth for them a creature from the earth thatshall i wound them, because people did not believe in Ourcommunications.
27/83 And on the day when We will gather from every nation aparty from among those who rejected Our communications,then they shall be formed into groups.
27/84 Until when they come, He will say: Did you reject Mycommunications while you had no comprehensive knowledge ofthem? Or what was it that you did?
27/85 And the word shall come to pass against them becausethey were unjust, so they shall not speak.
27/86 Do they not consider that We have made the night that.they may rest therein, and the day to give light? Mostsurely there are signs in this for a people who believe.
27/87 And on the day when the trumpet shall be blown, thenthose who are in the heavens and those who are in the earthshall be terrified except such as Allah please, and allshall come to him abased.
27/88 And you see the mountains, you think them to be solid,and they shall pass away as the passing away of thecloud-- the handiwork of Allah Who has made every thingthoroughly; surely He is Aware of what you do.
27/89 Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it; andthey shall be secure from terror on the day.
27/90 And whoever brings evil, these shall be thrown down ontheir faces into the fire; shall you be rewarded (for) aughtexcept what you did?
27/91 I am commanded only that I should serve the Lord of thiscity, Who has made it sacred, and His are all things; and Iam commanded that I should be of these who submit;
27/92 And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore whoevergoes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoevergoes ' astray, then say: I am only one of the warners.
27/93 And say: Praise be to Allah, He will show you His signsso that you shall recognize them; nor is your Lord heedlessof what you do.
28/1 Ta sin Mim.
28/2 These are the verses of the Book that makes (things)clear.
28/3 We recite to you from the account of Musa and Firon withtruth for people who believe.
28/4 Surely Firon exalted himself in the land and made itspeople into parties, weakening one party from among them; heslaughtered their sons and let their women live; surely hewas one of the mischiefmakers.
28/5 And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who weredeemed weak in the land, and to make them the Imams, and tomake them the heirs,
28/6 And to grant them power in the land, and to make Fironand Haman and their hosts see from them what they feared.
28/7 And We revealed to Musa's mothers, saying: Give him suck,then when you fear for him, cast him into the river and donot fear nor grieve; surely We wi!l bring him back to youand make him one of the messengers.
28/8 And Firon's family took him up that he might be an enemyand a grief for them; surely Firon and Haman and their hostswere wrongdoers.
28/9 And Firon's wife said: A refreshment of the eye to me andto you; do not slay him; maybe he will be useful to us, orwe may take him for a son; and they did not perceive.
28/10 And the heart of Musa's mother was free (from anxiety)she would have almost disclosed it had We not strengthenedher heart so that she might be of the believers.
28/11 And she said to his sister: Follow him up. So shewatched him from a distance while they did not perceive,
28/12 And We ordained that he refused to suck any fostermother before, so she said: Shall I point out to you thepeople of a house who will take care of him for you, andthey will be benevolent to him?
28/13 So We gave him back to his mother that her eye might berefreshed, and that she might no grieve, and that she mightknow that the promise of Allah is true, but most of them donot know.
28/14 And when he attained his maturity and became full grown,We granted him wisdom and knowledge; and thus do We rewardthose who do good (to others).
28/15 And he went into the city at a time of unvigilance onthe part of its people, so he found therein two menfighting, one being of his party and the other of his foes,and he who was of his party cried out to him for helpagainst him who was of his enemies, so Musa struck him withhis fist and killed him. He said: This is on account of theShaitan's doing; surely he is an enemy, openly leadingastray.
28/16 He said: My Lord! surely I have done harm to myself, sodo Thou protect me. So He protected him; surely He is theForgiving, the Merciful.
28/17 He said: My Lord! because Thou hast bestowed a favor onme, I shall never be a backer of the guilty.
28/18 And he was in the city, fearing, awaiting, when lo! hewho had asked his assistance the day before was crying outto him for aid. Musa said to him: You are most surely oneerring manifestly.
28/19 So when he desired to seize him who was an enemy to themboth, he said: O Musa! do you intend to kill me as youkilled a person yesterday? You desire nothing but that youshould be a tyrant in the land, and you do not desire to beof those who act aright.
28/20 And a man came running from the remotest part of thecity. He said: O Musa! surely the chiefs are consultingtogether to slay you, therefore depart (at once); surely Iam of those who wish well to you.
28/21 So he went forth therefrom, fearing, awaiting, (and) hesaid: My Lord! deliver me from the unjust people.
28/22 And when he turned his face towards Madyan, he said:Maybe my Lord will guide me in the right path.
28/23 And when he came to the water of Madyan, he found on ita group of men watering, and he found besides them two womenkeeping back (their flocks). He said: What is the matterwith you? They said: We cannot water until the shepherdstake away (their sheep) from the water, and our father is avery old man.
28/24 So he watered (their sheep) for them, then went back tothe shade and said: My Lord! surely I stand in need ofwhatever good Thou mayest send down to me.
28/25 Then one of the two women came to him walking bashfully.She said: My father invites you that he may give you thereward of your having watered for us. So when he came to himand gave to him the account, he said: Fear not, you aresecure from the unjust people.
28/26 Said one of them: O my father! employ him, surely thebest of those that you can employ is the strong man, thefaithful one.
28/27 He said: I desire to marry one of these two daughters ofmine to you on condition that you should serve me for eightyears; but if you complete ten, it will be of your own freewill, and I do not wish to be hard to you; if Allah please,you will find me one of the good.
28/28 He said: This shall be (an agreement) between me andyou; whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there shall be nowrongdoing to me; and Allah is a witness of what we say.
28/29 So when Musa had fulfilled the term, and he journeyedwith his family, he perceived on this side of the mountain afire. He said to his family: Wait, I have seen a fire, maybeI will bring to you from it some news or a brand of fire, sothat you may warm yourselves.
28/30 And when he came to it, a voice was uttered from theright side of the valley in the blessed spot of the bush,saying: O Musa! surely I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
28/31 And saying: Cast down you staff. So when he saw it inmotion as if it were a serpent, he turned back retreating,and did not return. O Musa! come forward and fear not;surely you are of those who are secure;
28/32 Enter your hand into the opening of your bosom, it willcome forth white without evil, and draw your hand toyourself to ward off fear: so these two shall be twoarguments from your Lord to Firon and his chiefs, surelythey are a transgressing people.
28/33 He said: My Lord! surely I killed one of them, so I fearlest they should slay me;
28/34 And my brother, Haroun, he is more eloquent of tonguethan I, therefore send him with me as an aider, verifyingme: surely I fear that they would reject me.
28/35 He said: We will strengthen your arm with your brother,and We will give you both an authority, so that they shallnot reach you; (go) with Our signs; you two and those whofollow you shall be uppermost.
28/36 So when Musa came to them with Our clear signs, theysaid: This is nothing but forged enchantment, and we neverheard of it amongst our fathers of old.
28/37 And Musa said: My Lord knows best who comes withguidance from Him, and whose shall be the good end of theabode; surely the unjust shall not be successful.
28/38 And Firon said: O chiefs! I do not know of any god foryou besides myself; therefore kindle a fire for me, O Haman,for brick, then prepare for me a lofty building so that Imay obtain knowledge of Musa's god, and most surely I thinkhim to be one of the liars.
28/39 And he was unjustly proud in the land, he and his hosts,and they deemed that they would not be brought back to Us.
28/40 So We caught hold of him and his hosts, then We castthem into the sea, and see how was the end of the unjust.
28/41 And We made them Imams who call to the fire, and on theday of resurrection they shall not be assisted.
28/42 And We caused a curse to follow them in this world, andon the day of resurrection they shall be of those made toappear hideous.
28/43 And certainly We gave Musa the Book after We haddestroyed the former generations, clear arguments for menand a guidance and a mercy, that they may be mindful.
28/44 And you were not on the western side when We revealed toMusa the commandment, and you were not among the witnesses;
28/45 But We raised up generations, then life became prolongedto them; and you were not dwelling among the people ofMadyan, reciting to them Our communications, but We were thesenders.
28/46 And you were not on this side of the mountain when Wecalled, but a mercy from your Lord that you may warn apeople to whom no warner came before you, that they may bemindful.
28/47 And were it not that there should befall them a disasterfor what their hands have sent before, then they should say:Our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us a messenger so thatwe should have followed Thy communications and been of thebelievers !
28/48 But (now) when the truth has come to them from Us, theysay: Why is he not given the like of what was given to Musa?What! did they not disbelieve in what Musa was given before?They say: Two magicians backing up each other; and they say:Surely we are unbelievers in all.
28/49 Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah which is abetter guide than both of them, (that) I may follow it, ifyou are truthful.
28/50 But if they do not answer you, then know that they onlyfollow their low desires; and who is more erring than he whofollows his low desires without any guidance from Allah?Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
28/51 And certainly We have made the word to reach them sothat they may be mindful.
28/52 (As to) those whom We gave the Book before it, they arebelievers in it.
28/53 And when it is recited to them they say: We believe init surely it is the truth from our Lord; surely we weresubmitters before this.
28/54 These shall be granted their reward twice, because theyare steadfast and they repel evil with good and spend out ofwhat We have given them.
28/55 And when they hear idle talk they turn aside from it andsay: We shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds;peace be on you, we do not desire the ignorant.
28/56 Surely you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guideswhom He pleases, and He knows best the followers of theright way.
28/57 And they say: If we follow the guidance with you, weshall be carried off from our country. What ! have We notsettled them in a safe, sacred territory to which fruits ofevery kind shall be drawn?-- a sustenance from Us; but most ofthem do not know.
28/58 And how many a town have We destroyed which exulted inits means of subsistence, so these are their abodes, theyhave not been dwelt in after them except a little, and Weare the inheritors,
28/59 And your Lord never destroyed the towns until He raisedin their metropolis a messenger, reciting to them Ourcommunications, and We never destroyed the towns except whentheir people were unjust.
28/60 And whatever things you have been given are only aprovision of this world's life and its adornment, andwhatever is with Allah is better and more lasting; do younot then understand?
28/61 Is he to whom We have promised a goodly promise which heshall meet with like him whom We have provided with theprovisions of this world's life, then on the day ofresurrection he shall be of those who are brought up?
28/62 And on the day when He will call them and say: Where arethose whom you deemed to be My associates?
28/63 Those against whom the sentence has become confirmedwill say: Our Lord! these are they whom we caused to err; wecaused them to err as we ourselves did err; to Thee wedeclare ourselves to be clear (of them); they never servedUs.
28/64 And it will be said: Call your associate-gods. So theywill call upon them, but they will not answer them, and theyshall see the punishment; would that they had followed theright way!
28/65 And on the day when He shall call them and say: What wasthe answer you gave to the messengers?
28/66 Then the pleas shall become obscure to them on that day,so they shall not ask each other.
28/67 But as to him who repents and believes and does good,maybe he will be among the successful:
28/68 And your Lord creates and chooses whom He pleases; tochoose is not theirs; glory be to Allah, and exalted be Heabove what they associate (with Him).
28/69 And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and whatthey manifest.
28/70 And He is Allah, there is no god but He! All praise isdue to Him in this (life) and the hereafter, and His is thejudgment, and to Him you shall be brought back.
28/71 Say: Tell me, if Allah were to make the night tocontinue incessantly on you till the day of resurrection,who is the god besides Allah that could bring you light? Doyou not then hear?
28/72 Say: Tell me, if Allah were to make the day to continueincessantly on you till the day of resurrection, who is thegod besides Allah that could bring you the night in whichyou take rest? Do you not then see?
28/73 And out of His mercy He has made for you the night andthe day, that you may rest therein, and that you may seek ofHis grace, and that you may give thanks.
28/74 And on the day when He shall call them and say: Whereare those whom you deemed to be My associates?
28/75 And We will draw forth from among every nation a witnessand say: Bring your proof; then shall they know that thetruth is Allah's, and that which they forged shall departfrom them.
28/76 Surely Qaroun was of the people of Musa, but he rebelledagainst them, and We had given him of the treasures, so muchso that his hoards of wealth would certainly weigh down acompany of men possessed of great strength. When his peoplesaid to him: Do not exult, surely Allah does not love theexultant;
28/77 And seek by means of what Allah has given you the futureabode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and dogood (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do notseek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does notlove the mischief-makers.
28/78 He said: I have been given this only on account of theknowledge I have. Did he not know that Allah had destroyedbefore him of the generations those who were mightier instrength than he and greater in assemblage? And the guiltyshall not be asked about their faults.
28/79 So he went forth to his people in his finery. Those whodesire this world's life said: O would that we had the likeof what Qaroun is given; most surely he is possessed ofmighty good fortune.
28/80 And those who were given the knowledge said: Woe to you!Allah's reward is better for him who believes and does good,and none is made to receive this except the patient.
28/81 Thus We made the earth to swallow up him and his abode;so he had no body of helpers to assist him against Allah norwas he of those who can defend themselves.
28/82 And those who yearned for his place only the day beforebegan to say: Ah! (know) that Allah amplifies and straitensthe means of subsistence for whom He pleases of Hisservants; had not Allah been gracious to us, He would mostsurely have abased us; ah! (know) that the ungrateful arenever successful.
28/83 (As for) that future abode, We assign it to those whohave no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to makemischief and the good end is for those who guard (againstevil)
28/84 Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it, andwhoever brings evil, those who do evil shall not be rewarded(for) aught except what they did.
28/85 Most surely He Who has made the Quran binding on youwill bring you back to the destination. Say: My Lord knowsbest him who has brought the guidance and him who is inmanifest error.
28/86 And you did not expect that the Book would be inspiredto you, but it is a mercy from your Lord, therefore be not abacker-up of the unbelievers.
28/87 And let them not turn you aside from the communicationsof Allah after they have been revealed to you, and call(men) to your Lord and be not of the polytheists.
28/88 And call not with Allah any other god; there is no godbut He, every thing is perishable but He; His is thejudgment, and to Him you shall be brought back.
29/1 Alif Lam Mim.
29/2 Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, Webelieve, and not be tried?
29/3 And certainly We tried those before them, so Allah willcertainly know those who are true and He will certainly knowthe liars.
29/4 Or do they who work evil think that they will escape Us?Evil is it that they judge!
29/5 Whoever hopes to meet Allah, the term appointed by Allahwill then most surely come; and He is the Hearing, theKnowing.
29/6 And whoever strives hard, he strives only for his ownsoul; most surely Allah is Self-sufficient, above (need of)the worlds.
29/7 And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will mostcertainly do away with their evil deeds and We will mostcertainly reward them the best of what they did.
29/8 And We have enjoined on man goodness to his parents, andif they contend with you that you should associate (others)with Me, of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them,to Me is your return, so I will inform you of what you did.
29/9 And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will mostsurely cause them to enter among the good.
29/10 And among men is he who says: We believe in Allah; butwhen he is persecuted in (the way of) Allah he thinks thepersecution of men to be as the chastisement of Allah; andif there come assistance from your Lord, they would mostcertainly say: Surely we were with you. What! is not Allahthe best knower of what is in the breasts of mankind.
29/11 And most certainly Allah will know those who believe andmost certainly He will know the hypocrites.
29/12 And those who disbelieve say to those who believe:Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs. And nevershall they be the bearers of any of their wrongs; mostsurely they are liars.
29/13 And most certainly they shall carry their own burdens,and other burdens with their own burdens, and most certainlythey shall be questioned on the resurrection day as to whatthey forged.
29/14 And certainly We sent Nuh to his people, so he remainedamong them a thousand years save fifty years. And the delugeovertook them, while they were unjust.
29/15 So We delivered him and the inmates of the ark, and madeit a sign to the nations.
29/16 And (We sent) Ibrahim, when he said to his people: ServeAllah and be careful of (your duty to) Him; this is best foryou, if you did but know:
29/17 You only worship idols besides Allah and you create alie surely they whom you serve besides Allah do not controlfor you any sustenance, therefore seek the sustenance fromAllah and serve Him and be grateful to Him; to Him you shallbe brought back.
29/18 And if you reject (the truth), nations before you didindeed reject (the truth); and nothing is incumbent on themessenger but a plain delivering (of the message).
29/19 What! do they not consider how Allah originates thecreation, then reproduces it? Surely that is easy to Allah.
29/20 Say: Travel in the earth and see how He makes the firstcreation, then Allah creates the latter creation; surelyAllah has power over all things.
29/21 He punishes whom He pleases and has mercy on whom Hepleases, and to Him you shall be turned back.
29/22 And you shall not escape in the earth nor in the heaven,and you have neither a protector nor a helper besides Allah.
29/23 And (as to) those who disbelieve in the communicationsof Allah and His meeting, they have despaired of My mercy,and these it is that shall have a painful punishment.
29/24 So naught was the answer of his people except that theysaid: Slay him or burn him; then Allah delivered him fromthe fire; most surely there are signs in this for a peoplewho believe.
29/25 And he said: You have only taken for yourselves idolsbesides Allah by way of friendship between you in thisworld's life, then on the resurrection day some of you shalldeny others, and some of you shall curse others, and yourabode is the fire, and you shall not have any helpers.
29/26 And Lut believed in Him, and he said: I am fleeing to myLord, surely He is the Mighty, the Wise.
29/27 And We granted him Ishaq and Yaqoub, and caused the tprophethood and the book to remain in his seed, and We gavehim his reward in this world, and in the hereafter he willmost surely be among the good.
29/28 And (We sent) Lut when he said to his people: Mostsurely you are guilty of an indecency which none of thenations has ever done before you;
29/29 What! do you come to the males and commit robbery on thehighway, and you commit evil deeds in your assemblies? Butnothing was the answer of his people except that they said:Bring on us Allah's punishment, if you are one of thetruthful.
29/30 He said: My Lord! help me against the mischievouspeople.
29/31 And when Our messengers came to Ibrahim with the goodnews, they said: Surely we are going to destroy the peopleof this town, for its people are unjust.
29/32 He said: Surely in it is Lut. They said: We know wellwho is in it; we shall certainly deliver him and hisfollowers, except his wife; she shall be of those who remainbehind.
29/33 And when Our messengers came to Lut he was grieved onaccount of them, and he felt powerless (to protect) them;and they said: Fear not, nor grieve; surely we will deliveryou and your followers, except your wife; she shall be ofthose who remain behind.
29/34 Surely We will cause to come down upon the people ofthis town a punishment from heaven, because theytransgressed.
29/35 And certainly We have left a clear sign of it for apeople who understand.
29/36 And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shuaib, so hesaid: O my people! serve Allah and fear the latter day anddo not act corruptly in the land, making mischief.
29/37 But they rejected him, so a severe earthquake overtookthem, and they became motionless bodies in their abode.
29/38 And (We destroyed) Ad and Samood, and from theirdwellings (this) is apparent to you indeed; and the Shaitanmade their deeds fair-seeming to them, so he kept them backfrom the path, though they were endowed with intelligenceand skill,
29/39 And (We destroyed) Qaroun and Firon and Haman; andcertainly Musa came to them with clear arguments, but theybehaved haughtily in the land; yet they could not outstrip(Us).
29/40 So each We punished for his sin; of them was he on whomWe sent down a violent storm, and of them was he whom therumbling overtook, and of them was he whom We made to beswallowed up by the earth, and of them was he whom Wedrowned; and it did not beseem Allah that He should beunjust to them, but they were unjust to their own souls.
29/41 The parable of those who take guardians besides Allah isas the parable of the spider that makes for itself a house;and most surely the frailest of the houses is the spider'shouse did they but know.
29/42 Surely Allah knows whatever thing they call upon besidesHim; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
29/43 And (as for) these examples, We set them forth for men,and none understand them but the learned.
29/44 Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth; mostsurely there is a sign in this for the believers.
29/45 Recite that which has been revealed to you of the Bookand keep up prayer; surely prayer keeps (one) away fromindecency and evil, and certainly the remembrance of Allahis the greatest, and Allah knows what you do.
29/46 And do not dispute with the followers of the Book exceptby what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, andsay: We believe in that which has been revealed to us andrevealed to you, and our Allah and your Allah is One, and to Himdo we submit.
29/47 And thus have We revealed the Book to you. So those whomWe have given the Book believe in it, and of these there arethose who believe in it, and none deny Our communicationsexcept the unbelievers.
29/48 And you did not recite before it any book, nor did youtranscribe one with your right hand, for then could thosewho say untrue things have doubted.
29/49 Nay! these are clear communications in the breasts ofthose who are granted knowledge; and none deny Ourcommunications except the unjust.
29/50 And they say: Why are not signs sent down upon him fromhis Lord? Say: The signs are only with Allah, and I am onlya plain warner.
29/51 Is it not enough for them that We have revealed to youthe Book which is recited to them? Most surely there ismercy in this and a reminder for a people who believe.
29/52 Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me andyou; He knows what is in the heavens and the earth. And (asfor) those who believe in the falsehood and disbelieve inAllah, these it is that are the losers.
29/53 And they ask you to hasten on the chastisement; and hadnot a term been appointed, the chastisement would certainlyhave come to them; and most certainly it will come to themall of a sudden while they will not perceive.
29/54 They ask you to hasten on the chastisement, and mostsurely hell encompasses the unbelievers;
29/55 On the day when the chastisement shall cover them fromabove them, and from beneath their feet; and He shall say:Taste what you did.
29/56 O My servants who believe! surely My earth is vast,therefore Me alone should you serve.
29/57 Every soul must taste of death, then to Us you shall bebrought back.
29/58 And (as for) those who believe and do good, We willcertainly give them abode in the high places in gardensbeneath which rivers flow, abiding therein; how good thereward of the workers:
29/59 Those who are patient, and on their Lord do they rely.
29/60 And how many a living creature that does not carry itssustenance: Allah sustains it and yourselves; and He is theHearing, the Knowing.
29/61 And if you ask them, Who created the heavens and theearth and made the sun and the moon subservient, they willcertainly say, Allah. Whence are they then turned away?
29/62 Allah makes abundant the means of subsistence for whomHe pleases of His servants, and straitens them for whom (Hepleases) surely Allah is Cognizant of all things.
29/63 And if you ask them Who is it that sends down water fromthe clouds, then gives life to the earth with it after itsdeath, they will certainly say, Allah. Say: All praise isdue to Allah. Nay, most of them do not understand.
29/64 And this life of the world is nothing but a sport and aplay; and as for the next abode, that most surely is thelife-- did they but know!
29/65 So when they ride in the ships they call upon Allah,being sincerely obedient to Him, but when He brings themsafe to the land, lo! they associate others (with Him);
29/66 Thus they become ungrateful for what We have given them,so that they may enjoy; but they shall soon know.
29/67 Do they not see that We have made a sacred territorysecure, while men are carried off by force from around them?Will they still believe in the falsehood and disbelieve inthe favour of Allah?
29/68 And who is more unjust than one who forges a lie againstAllah, or gives the lie to the truth when it has come tohim? Will not in hell be the abode of the unbelievers?
29/69 And (as for) those who strive hard for Us, We will mostcertainly guide them in Our ways; and Allah is most surelywith the doers of good.
30/1 Alif Lam Mim.
30/2 The Romans are vanquished,
30/3 In a near land, and they, after being vanquished, shallovercome,
30/4 Within a few years. Allah's is the command before andafter; and on that day the believers shall rejoice,
30/5 With the help of Allah; He helps whom He pleases; and Heis the Mighty, the Merciful;
30/6 (This is) Allah's promise! Allah will not fail Hispromise, but most people do not know.
30/7 They know the outward of this world's life, but of thehereafter they are absolutely heedless.
30/8 Do they not reflect within themselves: Allah did notcreate the heavens and the earth and what is between themtwo but with truth, and (for) an appointed term? And mostsurely most of the people are deniers of the meeting oftheir Lord.
30/9 Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was theend of those before them? They were stronger than these inprowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it in greaterabundance than these have built on it, and there came tothem their messengers with clear arguments; so it was notbeseeming for Allah that He should deal with them unjustly,but they dealt unjustly with their own souls.
30/10 Then evil was the end of those who did evil, becausethey | rejected the communications of Allah and used to mockthem.
30/11 Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it, thento Him you shall be brought back.
30/12 And at the time when the hour shall come the guiltyshall be in despair.
30/13 And they shall not have any intercessors from amongtheir gods they have joined with Allah, and they shall bedeniers of their associate-gods.
30/14 And at the time when the hour shall come, at that timethey shall become separated one from the other.
30/15 Then as to those who believed and did good, they shallbe made happy in a garden.
30/16 And as to those who disbelieved and rejected Ourcommunications and the meeting of the hereafter, these shallbe brought over to the chastisement.
30/17 Therefore glory be to Allah when you enter upon the timeof the evening and when you enter upon the time of themorning.
30/18 And to Him belongs praise in the heavens and the earth,and at nightfall and when you are at midday.
30/19 He brings forth the living from the dead and bringsforth the dead from the living, and gives life to the earthafter its death, and thus shall you be brought forth.
30/20 And one of His signs is that He created you from dust,then lo! you are mortals (who) scatter.
30/21 And one of His signs is that He created mates for youfrom yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He putbetween you love and compassion; most surely there are signsin this for a people who reflect.
30/22 And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens andthe earth and the diversity of your tongues and colors; mostsurely there are signs in this for the learned.
30/23 And one of His signs is your sleeping and your seekingof His grace by night and (by) day; most surely there aresigns in this for a people who would hear.
30/24 And one of His signs is that He shows you the lightningfor fear and for hope, and sends down water from the cloudsthen gives life therewith to the earth after its death; mostsurely there are signs in this for a people who understand
30/25 And one of His signs is that the heaven and the earthsubsist by His command, then when He calls you with a(single) call from out of the earth, lo! you come forth.
30/26 And His is whosoever is in the heavens and the earth;all are obedient to Him.
30/27 And He it is Who originates the creation, thenreproduces it, and it is easy to Him; and His are the mostexalted attributes in the heavens and the earth, and He isthe Mighty, the Wise.
30/28 He sets forth to you a parable relating to yourselves:Have you among those whom your right hands possess partnersin what We have given you for sustenance, so that withrespect to it you are alike; you fear them as you fear eachother? Thus do We make the communications distinct for apeople who understand.
30/29 Nay! those who are unjust follow their low desireswithout any knowledge; so who can guide him whom Allah makeserr? And they shall have no helpers.
30/30 Then set your face upright for religion in the rightstate-- the nature made by Allah in which He has made men;there is no altering of Allah's creation; that is the rightreligion, but most people do not know--
30/31 Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him andkeep up prayer and be not of the polytheists
30/32 Of those who divided their religion and became seasevery sect rejoicing in what they had with them
30/33 And when harm afflicts men, they call upon their Lord,turning to Him, then when He makes them taste of mercy fromHim, lo! some of them begin to associate (others) with theirLord,
30/34 So as to be ungrateful for what We have given them; butenjoy yourselves (for a while), for you shall soon come toknow.
30/35 Or, have We sent down upon them an authority so that itspeaks of that which they associate with Him?
30/36 And when We make people taste of mercy they rejoice init, and if an evil befall them for what their hands havealready wrought, lo! they are in despair.
30/37 Do they not see that Allah makes ample provision forwhom He pleases, or straitens? Most surely there are signsin this for a people who believe.
30/38 Then give to the near of kin his due, and to the needyand the wayfarer; this is best for those who desire Allah'spleasure, and these it is who are successful.
30/39 And whatever you lay out as usury, so that it mayincrease in the property of men, it shall not increase withAllah; and whatever you give in charity, desiring Allah'spleasure-- it is these (persons) that shall get manifold.
30/40 Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance,then He causes you to die, then brings you to life. Is thereany of your associate-gods who does aught of it? Glory be toHim, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).
30/41 Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea onaccount of what the hands of men have wrought, that He maymake them taste a part of that which they have done, so thatthey may return.
30/42 Say: Travel in the land, then see how was the end ofthose before; most of them were polytheists.
30/43 Then turn thy face straight to the right religion beforethere come from Allah the day which cannot be averted; onthat day they shall become separated.
30/44 Whoever disbelieves, he shall be responsible for hisdisbelief, and whoever does good, they prepare (good) fortheir own souls,
30/45 That He may reward those who believe and do good out ofHis grace; surely He does not love the unbelievers.
30/46 And one of His signs is that He sends forth the windsbearing good news, and that He may make your taste of Hismercy, and that the ships may run by His command, and thatyou may seek of His grace, and that you may be grateful.
30/47 And certainly We sent before you messengers to theirpeople, so they came to them with clear arguments, then Wegave the punishment to those who were guilty; and helpingthe believers is ever incumbent on Us.
30/48 Allah is he Who sends forth the winds so they raise acloud, then He spreads it forth in the sky as He pleases,and He breaks it up so that you see the rain coming forthfrom inside it; then when He causes it to fall upon whom Hepleases of His servants, lo! they are joyful
30/49 Though they were before this, before it was sent downupon them, confounded in sure despair.
30/50 Look then at the signs of Allah's mercy, how He giveslife to the earth after its death, most surely He will raisethe dead to life; and He has power over all things.
30/51 And if We send a wind and they see it to be yellow, theywould after that certainly continue to disbelieve
30/52 For surely you cannot, make the dead to hear and youcannot make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn backand
30/53 Nor can you lead away the blind out of their error. Youcannot make to hear any but those who believe in Ourcommunications so they shall submit.
30/54 Allah is He Who created you from a state of weaknessthen He gave strength after weakness, then ordained weaknessand hoary hair after strength; He creates what He pleases,and He is the Knowing, the Powerful.
30/55 And at the time when the hour shall come, the guiltyshall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour; thus arethey ever turned away.
30/56 And those who are given knowledge and faith will say:Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allahtill the day of resurrection, so this is the day ofresurrection, but you did not know.
30/57 But on that day their excuse shall not profit those whowere unjust, nor shall they be regarded with goodwill.
30/58 And certainly We have set forth for men every kind ofexample in this Quran; and if you should bring them acommunication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: Youare naught but false claimants.
30/59 Thus does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who donot know.
30/60 Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah istrue and let not those who have no certainty hold you inlight estimation.
31/1 Alif Lam Mim.
31/2 These are verses of the Book of Wisdom
31/3 A guidance and a mercy for the doers of goodness,
31/4 Those who keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and theyare certain of the hereafter.
31/5 These are on a guidance from their Lord, and these arethey who are successful:
31/6 And of men is he who takes instead frivolous discourse tolead astray from Allah's path without knowledge, and to takeit for a mockery; these shall have an abasing chastisement.
31/7 And when Our communications are recited to him, he turnsback proudly, as if he had not heard them, as though in hisears were a heaviness, therefore announce to him a painfulchastisement.
31/8 (As for) those who believe and do good, they shall surelyhave gardens of bliss,
31/9 Abiding in them; the promise of Allah; (a) true(promise), and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
31/10 He created the heavens without pillars as you see them,and put mountains upon the earth lest it might convulse withyou, and He spread in it animals of every kind; and We sentdown water from the cloud, then caused to grow therein(vegetation) of every noble kind.
31/11 This is Allah's creation, but show Me what those besidesHim have created. Nay, the unjust are in manifest error
31/12 And certainly We gave wisdom to Luqman, saying: Begrateful to Allah. And whoever is grateful, he is on!ygrateful for his own soul; and whoever is ungrateful, thensurely Allah is Self-sufficient, Praised.
31/13 And when Luqman said to his son while he admonished him:O my son! do not associate aught with Allah; most surelypolytheism is a grievous iniquity--
31/14 And We have enjoined man in respect of his parents-- hismother bears him with faintings upon faintings and hisweaning takes two years-- saying: Be grateful to Me and toboth your parents; to Me is the eventual coming.
31/15 And if they contend with you that you should associatewith Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them, andkeep company with them in this world kindly, and follow theway of him who turns to Me, then to Me is your return, thenwill I inform you of what you did--
31/16 O my son! surely if it is the very weight of the grainof a mustard-seed, even though it is in (the heart of) rock,or (high above) in the heaven or (deep down) in the earth,Allah will bring it (to light); surely Allah is Knower ofsubtleties, Aware;
31/17 O my son! keep up prayer and enjoin the good and forbidthe evil, and bear patiently that which befalls you; surelythese acts require courage;
31/18 And do not turn your face away from people in contempt,nor go about in the land exulting overmuch; surely Allahdoes not love any self-conceited boaster;
31/19 And pursue the right course in your going about andlower your voice; surely the most hateful of voices isbraying of the asses.
31/20 Do you not see that Allah has made what is in theheavens and what is in the earth subservient to you, andmade complete to you His favors outwardly and inwardly? Andamong men is he who disputes in respect of Allah thoughhaving no knowledge nor guidance, nor a book giving light.
31/21 And when it is said to them: Follow what Allah hasrevealed, they say: Nay, we follow that on which we foundour fathers. What! though the Shaitan calls them to thechastisement of the burning fire!
31/22 And whoever submits himself wholly to Allah and he isthe doer of good (to others), he indeed has taken hold ofthe firmest thing upon which one can lay hold; and Allah'sis the end of affairs.
31/23 And whoever disbelieves, let not his disbelief grieveyou; to Us is their return, then will We inform them of whatthey did surely Allah is the Knower of what is in thebreasts.
31/24 We give them to enjoy a little, then will We drive themto a severe chastisement.
31/25 And if you ask them who created the heavens and theearth, they will certainly say: Allah. Say: (All) praise isdue to Allah; nay! most of them do not know.
31/26 What is in the heavens and the earth is Allah's; surelyAllah is the Self-sufficient, the Praised.
31/27 And were every tree that is in the earth (made into)pens and the sea (to supply it with ink), with seven moreseas to increase it, the words of Allah would not come to anend; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
31/28 Neither your creation nor your raising is anything butas a single soul; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing.
31/29 Do you not see that Allah makes the night to enter intothe day, and He makes the day to enter into the night, andHe has made the sun and the moon subservient (to you); eachpursues its course till an appointed time; and that Allah isAware of what you do?
31/30 This is because Allah is the Truth, and that which theycall upon besides Him is the falsehood, and that Allah isthe High, the Great.
31/31 Do you not see that the ships run on in the sea byAllah's favor that He may show you of His signs? Most surelythere are signs in this for every patient endurer, gratefulone.
31/32 And when a wave like mountains covers them they callupon Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience, but when Hebrings them safe to the land, some of them follow the middlecourse; and none denies Our signs but every perfidious,ungrateful one.
31/33 O people! guard against (the punishment of) your Lordand dread the day when a father shall not make anysatisfaction for his son, nor shall the child be the makerof any satisfaction for his father; surely the promise ofAllah is true, therefore let not this world's life deceiveyou, nor let the archdeceiver deceive you in respect ofAllah.
31/34 Surely Allah is He with Whom is the knowledge of thehour, and He sends down the rain and He knows what is in thewombs; and no one knows what he shall earn on the morrow;and no one knows in what land he shall die; surely Allah isKnowing, Aware.
32/1 Alif Lam Mim.
32/2 The revelation of the Book, there is no doubt in it, isfrom the Lord of the worlds.
32/3 Or do they say: He has forged it? Nay! it is the truthfrom your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warnerhas come before you, that they may follow the rightdirection.
32/4 Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth andwhat is between them in six periods, and He mounted thethrone (of authority); you have not besides Him any guardianor any intercessor, will you not then mind?
32/5 He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth;then shall it ascend to Him in a day the measure of which isa thousand years of what you count.
32/6 This is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mightythe Merciful,
32/7 Who made good everything that He has created, and Hebegan the creation of man from dust.
32/8 Then He made his progeny of an extract, of water held inlight estimation.
32/9 Then He made him complete and breathed into him of Hisspirit, and made for you the ears and the eyes and thehearts; little is it that you give thanks.
32/10 And they say: What! when we have become lost in theearth, shall we then certainly be in a new creation? Nay!they are disbelievers in the meeting of their Lord.
32/11 Say: The angel of death who is given charge of you shallcause you to die, then to your Lord you shall be broughtback.
32/12 And could you but see when the guilty shall hang downtheir heads before their Lord: Our Lord! we have seen and wehave heard, therefore send us back, we will do good; surely(now) we are certain.
32/13 And if We had pleased We would certainly have given toevery soul its guidance, but the word (which had gone forth)from Me was just: I will certainly fill hell with the jinnand men together.
32/14 So taste, because you neglected the meeting of this dayof yours; surely We forsake you; and taste the abidingchastisement for what you did.
32/15 Only they believe in Our communications who, when theyare reminded of them, fall down in prostration andcelebrate the praise of their Lord, and they are not proud.
32/16 Their sides draw away from (their) beds, they call upontheir Lord in fear and in hope, and they spend(benevolently) out of what We have given them.
32/17 So no soul knows what is hidden for them of that whichwill refresh the eyes; a reward for what they did.
32/18 Is he then who is a believer like him who is atransgressor? They are not equal.
32/19 As for those who believe and do good, the gardens aretheir abiding-place; an entertainment for what they did.
32/20 And as for those who transgress, their abode is thefire; whenever they desire to go forth from it they shall bebrought back into it, and it will be said to them: Taste thechastisement of the fire which you called a lie.
32/21 And most certainly We will make them taste of the nearerchastisement before the greater chastisement that haply theymay turn.
32/22 And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of thecommunications of his Lord, then he turns away from them?Surely We will give punishment to the guilty.
32/23 And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, so be not indoubt concerning the receiving of it, and We made it a guidefor the children of Israel.
32/24 And We made of them Imams to guide by Our command whenthey were patient, and they were certain of Ourcommunications.
32/25 Surely your Lord will judge between them on the day ofresurrection concerning that wherein they differ.
32/26 Does it not point out to them the right way, how many ofthe generations, in whose abodes they go about, did Wedestroy before them? Most surely there are signs in this;will they not then hear?
32/27 Do they not see that We drive the water to a land havingno herbage, then We bring forth thereby seed-produce ofwhich their cattle and they themselves eat; will they notthen see?
32/28 And they say: When will this judgment take place, If youare truthful?
32/29 Say: On the day of judgment the faith of those who (now)disbelieve will not profit them, nor will they be respited.
32/30 Therefore turn away from them and wait, surely they tooare waiting.
33/1 O Prophet! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and do notcomply with (the wishes of) the unbelievers and thehypocrites; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;
33/2 And follow what is revealed to you from your Lord; surelyAllah is Aware of what you do;
33/3 And rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient for aProtector.
33/4 Allah has not made for any man two hearts within him; norhas He made your wives whose backs you liken to the backs ofyour mothers as your mothers, nor has He made those whom youassert to be your sons your real sons; these are the wordsof your mouths; and Allah speaks the truth and He guides tothe way.
33/5 Assert their relationship to their fathers; this is moreequitable with Allah; but if you do not know their fathers,then they are your brethren in faith and your friends; andthere is no blame on you concerning that in which you made amistake, but (concerning) that which your hearts dopurposely (blame may rest on you), and Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.
33/6 The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than theyhave on themselves, and his wives are (as) their mothers;and the possessors of relationship have the better claim inthe ordinance of Allah to inheritance, one with respect toanother, than (other) believers, and (than) those who havefled (their homes), except that you do some good to yourfriends; this is written in the Book.
33/7 And when We made a covenant with the prophets and withyou, and with Nuh and Ibrahim and Musa and Isa, son ofMarium, and We made with them a strong covenant
33/8 That He may question the truthful of their truth, and Hehas prepared for the unbelievers a painful punishment.
33/9 O you who believe! call to mind the favor of Allah to youwhen there came down upon you hosts, so We sent against thema strong wind and hosts, that you saw not, and Allah isSeeing what you do.
33/10 When they came upon you from above you and from belowyou, and when the eyes turned dull, and the hearts rose upto the throats, and you began to think diverse thoughts ofAllah.
33/11 There the believers were tried and they were shaken withsevere shaking.
33/12 And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was adisease began to say: Allah and His Messenger did not promiseus (victory) but only to deceive.
33/13 And when a party of them said: O people of Yasrib! thereIS no place to stand for you (here), therefore go back; anda party of them asked permission of the prophet, saying.Surely our houses are exposed; and they were not exposed;they only desired to fly away.
33/14 And if an entry were made upon them from the outlyingparts of it, then they were asked to wage war, they wouldcertainly have done it, and they would not have stayed in itbut a little while.
33/15 And certainly they had made a covenant with Allahbefore, that) they would not turn (their) backs; and Allah'scovenant shall be inquired of.
33/16 Say: Flight shall not do you any good if you fly fromdeath or slaughter, and in that case you will not be allowedto enjoy yourselves but a little.
33/17 Say: Who is it that can withhold you from Allah if Heintends to do you evil, rather He intends to show you mercy?And they will not find for themselves besides Allah anyguardian or a helper.
33/18 Allah knows indeed those among you who hinder others andthose who say to their brethren: Come to us; and they comenot to the fight but a little,
33/19 Being niggardly with respect to you; but when fearcomes, you will see them looking to you, their eyes rollinglike one swooning because of death; but when the fear isgone they smite you with sharp tongues, being niggardly ofthe good things. These have not believed, therefore Allahhas made their doing naught; and this is easy to Allah.
33/20 They think the allies are not gone, and if the alliesshould come (again) they would fain be in the deserts withthe desert Arabs asking for news about you, and if they wereamong you they would not fight save a little.
33/21 Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellentexemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day andremembers Allah much.
33/22 And when the believers saw the allies, they said: Thisis what Allah and His Messenger promised us, and Allah and HisMessenger spoke the truth; and it only increased them in faithand submission.
33/23 Of the believers are men who are true to the covenantwhich they made with Allah: so of them is he whoaccomplished his vow, and of them is he who yet waits, andthey have not changed in the least
33/24 That Allah may reward the truthful for their truth, andpunish the hypocrites if He please or turn to them(mercifully); surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
33/25 And Allah turned back the unbelievers in their rage;they did not obtain any advantage, and Allah sufficed thebelievers in fighting; and Allah is Strong, Mighty.
33/26 And He drove down those of the followers of the Book whobacked them from their fortresses and He cast awe into theirhearts; some you killed and you took captive another part.
33/27 And He made you heirs to their land and their dwellingsand their property, and (to) a land which you have not yettrodden, and Allah has power over all things.
33/28 O Prophet! say to your wives: If you desire this world'slife and its adornment, then come, I will give you aprovision and allow you to depart a goodly departing
33/29 And if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the latterabode, then surely Allah has prepared for the doers of goodamong you a mighty reward.
33/30 O wives of the prophet! whoever of you commits an openindecency, the punishment shall be increased to her doubly;and this IS easy to Allah.
33/31 And whoever of you is obedient to Allah and His Messengerand does good, We will give to her her reward doubly, and Wehave prepared for her an honorable sustenance.
33/32 O wives of the Prophet! you are not like any other ofthe women; If you will be on your guard, then be not soft in(your) speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease yearn;and speak a good word.
33/33 And stay in your houses and do not display your finerylike the displaying of the ignorance of yore; and keep upprayer, and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and HisMessenger. Allah only desires to keep away the uncleannessfrom you, O people of the House! and to purify you a(thorough) purifying.
33/34 And keep to mind what is recited in your houses of thecommunications of Allah and the wisdom; surely Allah isKnower of subtleties, Aware.
33/35 Surely the men who submit and the women who submit, andthe believing men and the believing women, and the obeyingmen and the obeying women, and the truthful men and thetruthful women, and the patient men and the patient womenand the humble men and the humble women, and the almsgivingmen and the almsgiving women, and the fasting men and thefasting women, and the men who guard their private parts andthe women who guard, and the men who remember Allah much andthe women who remember-- Allah has prepared for themforgiveness and a mighty reward.
33/36 And it behoves not a believing man and a believing womanthat they should have any choice in their matter when Allahand His Messenger have decided a matter; and whoever disobeysAllah and His Messenger, he surely strays off a manifeststraying.
33/37 And when you said to him to whom Allah had shown favorand to whom you had shown a favor: Keep your wife toyourself and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; and youconcealed in your soul what Allah would bring to light, andyou feared men, and Allah had a greater right that youshould fear Him. But when Zaid had accomplished his want ofher, We gave her to you as a wife, so that there should beno difficulty for the believers in respect of the wives oftheir adopted sons, when they have accomplished their wantof them; and Allah's command shall be performed.
33/38 There is no harm in the Prophet doing that which Allahhas ordained for him; such has been the course of Allah withrespect to those who have gone before; and the command ofAllah is a decree that is made absolute:
33/39 Those who deliver the messages of Allah and fear Him,and do not fear any one but Allah; and Allah is sufficientto take account.
33/40 Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he isthe Messenger of Allah and the Last of the prophets; and Allahis cognizant of all things.
33/41 O you who believe! remember Allah, rememberingfrequently,
33/42 And glorify Him morning and evening.
33/43 He it is Who sends His blessings on you, and (so do) Hisangels, that He may bring you forth out of utter darknessinto the light; and He is Merciful to the believers.
33/44 Their salutation on the day that they meet Him shall be,Peace, and He has prepared for them an honourable reward.
33/45 O Prophet! surely We have sent you as a witness, and asa bearer of good news and as a warner,
33/46 And as one inviting to Allah by His permission, and as alight-giving torch.
33/47 And give to the believers the good news that they shallhave a great grace from Allah.
33/48 And be not compliant to the unbelievers and thehypocrites, and leave unregarded their annoying talk, andrely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a Protector.
33/49 O you who believe! when you marry the believing women,then divorce them before you touch them, you have in theircase no term which you should reckon; so make some provisionfor them and send them forth a goodly sending forth.
33/50 O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wiveswhom you have given their dowries, and those whom your righthand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you asprisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal unclesand the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughtersof your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternalaunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gaveherself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marryher-- specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; Weknow what We have ordained for them concerning their wivesand those whom their right hands possess in order that noblame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
33/51 You may put off whom you please of them, and you maytake to you whom you please, and whom you desire of thosewhom you had separated provisionally; no blame attaches toyou; this is most proper, so that their eyes may be cool andthey may not grieve, and that they should be pleased, all ofthem with what you give them, and Allah knows what is inyour hearts; and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.
33/52 It is not allowed to you to take women afterwards, northat you should change them for other wives, though theirbeauty be pleasing to you, except what your right handpossesses and Allah is Watchful over all things.
33/53 O you who believe! do not enter the houses of theProphet unless permission is given to you for a meal, notwaiting for its cooking being finished-- but when you areinvited, enter, and when you have taken the food, thendisperse-- not seeking to listen to talk; surely this givesthe Prophet trouble, but he forbears from you, and Allahdoes not forbear from the truth And when you ask of them anygoods, ask of them from behind a curtain; this is purer foryour hearts and (for) their hearts; and it does not behoveyou that you should give trouble to the Messenger of Allah,nor that you should marry his wives after him ever; surelythis is grievous in the sight of Allah.
33/54 If you do a thing openly or do it in secret, then surelyAllah is Cognizant of all things.
33/55 There is no blame on them in respect of their fathers,nor their brothers, nor their brothers' sons, nor theirsisters' sons nor their own women, nor of what their righthands possess; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah;surely Allah is a witness of all things.
33/56 Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you whobelieve! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute himwith a (becoming) salutation.
33/57 Surely (as for) those who speak evil things of Allah andHis Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and thehere after, and He has prepared for them a chastisementbringing disgrace.
33/58 And those who speak evil things of the believing men andthe believing women without their having earned (it), theyare guilty indeed of a false accusation and a manifest sin.
33/59 O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and thewomen of the believers that they let down upon them theirover-garments; this will be more proper, that they may beknown, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah isForgiving, Merciful.
33/60 If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a diseaseand the agitators in the city do not desist, We shall mostcertainly set you over them, then they shall not be yourneighbors in it but for a little while;
33/61 Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized andmurdered, a (horrible) murdering.
33/62 (Such has been) the course of Allah with respect tothose who have gone before; and you shall not find anychange in the course of Allah.
33/63 Men ask you about the hour; say: The knowledge of it isonly with Allah, and what will make you comprehend that the: hour may be nigh.
33/64 Surely Allah has cursed the unbelievers and has preparedfor them a burning fire,
33/65 To abide therein for a long time; they shall not find aprotector or a helper.
33/66 On the day when their faces shall be turned back intothe fire, they shall say: O would that we had obeyed Allahand obeyed the Messenger!
33/67 And they shall say: O our Lord! surely we obeyed ourleaders and our great men, so they led us astray from thepath;
33/68 O our Lord! give them a double punishment and curse themwith a great curse.
33/69 O you who believe! be not like those who spoke evilthings of Musa, but Allah cleared him of what they said, andhe was worthy of regard with Allah.
33/70 O you who believe! be careful of(your duty to) Allah andspeak the right word,
33/71 He will put your deeds into a right state for you, andforgive you your faults; and whoever obeys Allah and HisMessenger, he indeed achieves a mighty success.
33/72 Surely We offered the trust to the heavens and the earthand the mountains, but they refused to be unfaithful to itand feared from it, and man has turned unfaithful to it;surely he is unjust, ignorant;
33/73 So Allah will chastise the hypocritical men and thehypocritical women and the polytheistic men and thepolytheistic women, and Allah will turn (mercifully) to thebelieving women, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
34/1 (All) praise is due to Allah, Whose is what is in theheavens and what is in the earth, and to Him is due (all)praise in the hereafter; and He is the Wise, the Aware.
34/2 He knows that which goes down into the earth and thatwhich comes out of it, and that which comes down from theheaven and that which goes up to it; and He is the Merciful,the Forgiving.
34/3 And those who disbelieve say: The hour shall not comeupon us. Say: Yea! by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen, itshall certainly come upon you; not the weight of an atombecomes absent from Him, in the heavens or in the earth, andneither less than that nor greater, but (all) is in a clearbook
34/4 That He may reward those who believe and do good; theseit is for whom is forgiveness and an honorable sustenance.
34/5 And (as for) those who strive hard in opposing Ourcommunications, these it is for whom is a painfulchastisement of an evil kind.
34/6 And those to whom the knowledge has been given see thatwhich has been revealed to you from your Lord, that is thetruth, and it guides into the path of the Mighty, thePraised.
34/7 And those who disbelieve say: Shall we point out to you aman who informs you that when you are scattered the utmostscattering you shall then be most surely (raised) in (to) anew creation?
34/8 He has forged a lie against Allah or there is madness inhim. Nay! those who do not believe in the hereafter are intorment and in great error.
34/9 Do they not then consider what is before them and what isbehind them of the heaven and the earth? If We please Wewill make them disappear in the land or bring down upon thema portion from the heaven; most surely there is a sign inthis for every servant turning (to Allah).
34/10 And certainly We gave to Dawood excellence from Us: Omountains! sing praises with him, and the birds; and We madethe iron pliant to him,
34/11 Saying: Make ample (coats of mail), and assign a time tothe making of coats of mail and do good; surely I am Seeingwhat you do.
34/12 And (We made) the wind (subservient) to Sulaiman, whichmade a month's journey in the morning and a month's journeym the evening, and We made a fountain of molten copper toflow out for him, and of the jinn there were those whoworked before him by the command of his Lord; and whoeverturned aside from Our command from among them, We made himtaste of the punishment of burning.
34/13 They made for him what he pleased of fortresses andimages, and bowls (large) as watering-troughs andcooking-pots that will not move from their place; givethanks, O family of Dawood! and very few of My servants aregrateful.
34/14 But when We decreed death for him, naught showed themhis death but a creature of the earth that ate away hisstaff; and when it fell down, the jinn came to know plainlythat if they had known the unseen, they would not havetarried in abasing torment.
34/15 Certainly there was a sign for Saba in their abode; twogardens on the right and the left; eat of the sustenance ofyour Lord and give thanks to Him: a good land and aForgiving Lord!
34/16 But they turned aside, so We sent upon them a torrent ofwhich the rush could not be withstood, and in place of theirtwo gardens We gave to them two gardens yielding bitterfruit and (growing) tamarisk and a few lote-trees.
34/17 This We requited them with because they disbelieved; andWe do not punish any but the ungrateful.
34/18 And We made between them and the towns which We hadblessed (other) towns to be easily seen, and We apportionedthe journey therein: Travel through them nights and days,secure.
34/19 And they said: O our Lord! make spaces to be longerbetween our journeys; and they were unjust to themselves soWe made them stories and scattered them with an utterscattering; most surely there are signs in this for everypatient, grateful one
34/20 And certainly the Shaitan found true his conjectureconcerning them, so they follow him, except a party of thebelievers.
34/21 And he has no authority over them, but that We maydistinguish him who believes in the hereafter from him whois in doubt concerning it; and your Lord is the Preserver ofall things
34/22 Say: Call upon those whom you assert besides Allah; theydo not control the weight of an atom in the heavens or inthe earth nor have they any partnership in either, nor hasHe among them any one to back (Him) up.
34/23 And intercession will not avail aught with Him save ofhim whom He permits. Until when fear shall be removed fromtheir hearts, They shall say: What is it that your Lordsaid? They shall say: The truth. And He is the Most High,the Great.
34/24 Say: Who gives you the sustenance from the heavens andthe earth? Say: Allah. And most surely we or you are on aright way or in manifest error
34/25 Say: You will not be questioned as to what we are guiltyof, nor shall we be questioned as to what you do.
34/26 Say: Our Lord will gather us together, then will Hejudge between us with the truth; and He is the greatestJudge, the All-knowing.
34/27 Say: Show me those whom you have joined with Him asassociates; by no means (can you do it). Nay! He is Allah,the Mighty, the Wise.
34/28 And We have not sent you but to all the men as a bearerof good news and as a warner, but most men do not know.
34/29 And they say: When will this promise be (fulfilled) ifyou are truthful?
34/30 Say: You have the appointment of a day from which youcannot hold back any while, nor can you bring it on.
34/31 And those who disbelieve say: By no means will webelieve in this Quran, nor in that which is before it; andcould you see when the unjust shall be made to stand beforetheir Lord, bandying words one with another! Those who werereckoned weak shall say to those who were proud: Had it notbeen for you we would certainly have been believers.
34/32 Those who were proud shall say to those who were deemedweak: Did we turn you away from the guidance after it hadcome to you? Nay, you (yourselves) were guilty
34/33 And those who were deemed weak shall say to those who were proud. Nay,(it was) planning by night and day when you told us to disbelieve in Allahand to set up likes with Him. And they shall conceal regret when they shallsee the punishment; and We will put shackles on the necks of those whodisbelieved; they shall not be requited but what they did.
34/34 And We never sent a warner to a town but those who ledlives in ease in it said: We are surely disbelievers in whatyou are sent with.
34/35 And they say: We have more wealth and children, and weshall not be punished.
34/36 Say: Surely my Lord amplifies the means of subsistencefor whom He pleases and straitens (for whom He pleases), butmost men do not know.
34/37 And not your wealth nor your children, are the thingswhich bring you near Us in station, but whoever believes anddoes good, these it is for whom is a double reward for whatthey do, and they shall be secure in the highest places.
34/38 And (as for) those who strive in opposing Ourcommunications, they shall be caused to be brought to thechastisement.
34/39 Say: Surely my Lord amplifies the means of subsistencefor whom He pleases of His servants and straitens (them) forwhom (He pleases), and whatever thing you spend, He exceeds it inreward, and He is the best of Sustainers.
34/40 And on the day when He will gather them all together,then will He say to the angels: Did these worship you?
34/41 They shall say: Glory be to Thee! Thou art our Guardian,not they; nay! they worshipped the jinn; most of them werebelievers in them.
34/42 So on that day one of you shall not control profit orharm for another, and We will say to those who were unjust:Taste the chastisement of the fire which you called a lie.
34/43 And when Our clear communications are recited to them,they say: This is naught but a man who desires to turn youaway from that which your fathers worshipped. And they say:This is naught but a lie that is forged. And those whodisbelieve say of the truth when it comes to them: This isonly clear enchantment.
34/44 And We have not given them any books which they read,nor did We send to them before you a warner.
34/45 And those before them rejected (the truth), and thesehave not yet attained a tenth of what We gave them, but theygave the lie to My messengers, then how was the manifestationof My disapproval?
34/46 Say: I exhort you only to one thing, that rise up forAllah's sake in twos and singly, then ponder: there is nomadness in your fellow-citizen; he is only a warner to youbefore a severe chastisement.
34/47 Say: Whatever reward I have asked of you, that is onlyfor yourselves; my reward is only with Allah, and He is awitness of all things.
34/48 Say: Surely my Lord utters the truth, the great Knowerof the unseen.
34/49 Say: The truth has come, and the falsehood shall vanishand shall not come back.
34/50 Say: If I err, I err only against my own soul, and if Ifollow a right direction, it ?s because of what my Lordreveals to me; surely He is Hearing, Nigh.
34/51 And could you see when they shall become terrified, but(then) there shall be no escape and they shall be seizedupon from a near place
34/52 And they shall say: We believe in it. And how shall theattaining (of faith) be possible to them from a distantplace?
34/53 And they disbelieved in it before, and they utterconjectures with regard to the unseen from a distant place.
34/54 And a barrier shall be placed between them and thatwhich they desire, as was done with the likes of thembefore: surely they are in a disquieting doubt.
35/1 All praise is due to Allah, the Originator of the heavensand the earth, the Maker of the angels, messengers flying onwings, two, and three, and four; He increases in creationwhat He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things.
35/2 Whatever Allah grants to men of (His) mercy, there isnone to withhold it, and what He withholds there is none tosend it forth after that, and He is the Mighty, the Wise
35/3 O men! call to mind the favor of Allah on you; is thereany creator besides Allah who gives you sustenance from theheaven and the earth? There is no god but He; whence are youthen turned away?
35/4 And if they call you a liar, truly messengers before youwere called liars, and to Allah are all affairs returned.
35/5 O men! surely the promise of Allah is true, therefore letnot the life of this world deceive you, and let not thearchdeceiver deceive you respecting Allah.
35/6 Surely the Shaitan is your enemy, so take him for anenemy; he only invites his party that they may be inmates ofthe burning
35/7 (As for) those who disbelieve, they shall have a severepunishment, and (as for) those who believe and do good, theyshall have forgiveness and a great reward.
35/8 What! is he whose evil deed is made fairseeming to him somuch so that he considers it good? Now surely Allah makeserr whom He pleases and guides aright whom He pleases, solet not your soul waste away in grief for them; surely Allahis Cognizant of what they do
35/9 And Allah is He Who sends the winds so they raise acloud, then We drive it on to a dead country, and therewithWe give life to the earth after its death; even so is thequickening.
35/10 Whoever desires honor, then to Allah belongs the honorwholly. To Him do ascend the good words; and the good deeds,lift them up, and (as for) those who plan evil deeds, theyshall have a severe chastisement; and (as for) their plan,it shall perish.
35/11 And Allah created you of dust, then of the life-germ,then He made you pairs; and no female bears, nor does shebring forth, except with His knowledge; and no one whoselife is lengthened has his life lengthened, nor is aughtdiminished of one's life, but it is all in a book; surelythis is easy to Allah.
35/12 And the two seas are not alike: the one sweet, thatsubdues thirst by its excessive sweetness, pleasant todrink; and the other salt, that burns by its saltness; yetfrom each of them you eat fresh flesh and bring forthornaments which you wear; and you see the ships cleavethrough it that you may seek of His bounty and that you maybe grateful.
35/13 He causes the night to enter in upon the day, and Hecauses the day to enter in upon the night, and He has madesubservient (to you) the sun and the moon; each one followsits course to an appointed time; this is Allah, your Lord,His is the kingdom; and those whom you call upon besides Himdo not control a straw.
35/14 If you call on them they shall not hear your call, andeven if they could hear they shall not answer you; and onthe resurrection day they will deny your associating them(with Allah); and none can inform you like the One Who isAware.
35/15 O men! you are they who stand in need of Allah, andAllah is He Who is the Self-sufficient, the Praised One.
35/16 If He please, He will take you off and bring a newgeneration.
35/17 And this is not hard to Allah.
35/18 And a burdened soul cannot bear the burden of anotherand if one weighed down by burden should cry for (another tocarry) its burden, not aught of it shall be carried, eventhough he be near of kin. You warn only those who fear theirLord in secret and keep up prayer; and whoever purifieshimself, he purifies himself only for (the good of) his ownsoul; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
35/19 And the blind and the seeing are not alike
35/20 Nor the darkness and the light,
35/21 Nor the shade and the heat,
35/22 Neither are the living and the dead alike. Surely Allahmakes whom He pleases hear, and you cannot make those hearwho are m the graves.
35/23 You are naught but a warner.
35/24 Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer ofgood news and a warner; and there is not a people but awarner has gone among them.
35/25 And if they call you a liar, so did those before themindeed call (their messengers) liars; their messengers had cometo them with clear arguments, and with scriptures, and withthe illuminating book.
35/26 Then did I punish those who disbelieved, so how was themanifestation of My disapproval?
35/27 Do you not see that Allah sends down water from thecloud, then We bring forth therewith fruits of variouscolors; and in the mountains are streaks, white and red, ofvarious hues and (others) intensely black?
35/28 And of men and beasts and cattle are various species ofit likewise; those of His servants only who are possessed ofknowledge fear Allah; surely Allah is Mighty, Forgiving.
35/29 Surely they who recite the Book of Allah and keep upprayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly andopenly, hope for a gain which will not perish.
35/30 That He may pay them back fully their rewards and givethem more out of His grace: surely He is Forgiving,Multiplier of rewards.
35/31 And that which We have revealed to you of the Book, thatis the truth verifying that which is before it; most surelywith respect to His servants Allah is Aware, Seeing.
35/32 Then We gave the Book for an inheritance to those whomWe chose from among Our servants; but of them is he whomakes his soul to suffer a loss, and of them is he who takesa middle course, and of them is he who is foremost in deedsof goodness by Allah's permission; this is the greatexcellence.
35/33 Gardens of perpetuity, they shall enter therein; theyshad be made to wear therein bracelets of gold and pearls,and their dress therein shall be silk.
35/34 And they shall say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Whohas made grief to depart from us; most surely our Lord isForgiving, Multiplier of rewards,
35/35 Who has made us alight in a house abiding for ever outof . His grace; toil shall not touch us therein, nor shallfatigue therein afflict us.
35/36 And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is the fireof hell; it shall not be finished with them entirely so thatthey should die, nor shall the chastisement thereof belightened to them: even thus do We retribute everyungrateful one.
35/37 And they shall cry therein for succour: O our Lord !take us out, we will do good deeds other than those which weused to do. Did We not preserve you alive long enough, sothat he who would be mindful in it should mind? And therecame to you the warner; therefore taste; because for theunjust, there is no helper.
35/38 Surely Allah is the Knower of what is unseen m theheavens and the earth; surely He is Cognizant of what IS mthe hearts.
35/39 He it is Who made you rulers in the land; thereforewhoever disbelieves, his unbelief is against himself; andtheir unbelief does not increase the disbelievers with theirLord in anything except hatred; and their unbelief does notincrease the disbelievers m anything except loss.
35/40 Say: Have you considered your associates which you callupon besides Allah? Show me what part of the earth they havecreated, or have they any share in the heavens; or, have Wegiven them a book so that they follow a clear argumentthereof? Nay, the unjust do not hold out promises one toanother but only to deceive.
35/41 Surely Allah upholds the heavens and the earth lest theycome to naught; and if they should come to naught, there Isnone who can uphold them after Him; surely He is theForbearing, the Forgiving.
35/42 And they swore by Allah with the strongest of theiroaths that if there came to them a warner they would bebetter guided than any of the nations; but when there cameto them a warner it increased them in naught but aversion.
35/43 (In) behaving proudly in the land and in planning evil;and the evil plans shall not beset any save the authors ofit. Then should they wait for aught except the way of theformer people? For you shall not find any alteration in thecourse of Allah; and you shall not find any change in thecourse of Allah.
35/44 Have they not travelled in the land and seen how was theend of those before them while they were stronger than thesein power? And Allah is not such that any thing in theheavens or in the earth should escape Him; surely He isKnowing, Powerful.
35/45 And were Allah to punish men for what they earn, Hewould not leave on the back of it any creature, but Herespites them till an appointed term; so when their doomshall come, then surely Allah is Seeing with respect to Hisservants.
36/1 Ya Seen.
36/2 I swear by the Quran full of wisdom
36/3 Most surely you are one of the messengers
36/4 On a right way.
36/5 A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.
36/6 That you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned,so they are heedless.
36/7 Certainly the word has proved true of most of them, sothey do not believe.
36/8 Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and thesereach up to their chins, so they have their heads raisedaloft.
36/9 And We have made before them a barrier and a barrierbehind them, then We have covered them over so that they donot see.
36/10 And it is alike to them whether you warn them or warnthem not: they do not believe.
36/11 You can only warn him who follows the reminder and fearsthe Beneficent Allah in secret; so announce to him forgivenessand an honorable reward.
36/12 Surely We give life to the dead, and We write down whatthey have sent before and their footprints, and We haverecorded everything in a clear writing.
36/13 And set out to them an example of the people of thetown, when the messengers came to it.
36/14 When We sent to them two, they rejected both of them,then We strengthened (them) with a third, so they said:Surely we are messengers to you.
36/15 They said: You are naught but mortals like ourselves,nor has the Beneficent Allah revealed anything; you only lie.
36/16 They said: Our Lord knows that we are most surelymessengers to you.
36/17 And nothing devolves on us but a clear deliverance (ofthe message).
36/18 They said: Surely we augur evil from you; if you do notdesist, we will certainly stone you, and there shallcertainly afflict vou a painful chastisement from us.
36/19 They said: Your evil fortune is with you; what! if youare reminded! Nay, you are an extravagant people.
36/20 And from the remote part of the city there came a manrunning, he said: O my people! follow the messengers;
36/21 Follow him who does not ask you for reward, and they arethe followers of the right course;
36/22 And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Whobrought me into existence? And to Him you shall be broughtback;
36/23 What! shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession,If the Beneficent Allah should desire to afflict me with aharm, shall not avail me aught, nor shall they be able todeliver me?
36/24 In that case I shall most surely be in clear error:
36/25 Surely I believe in your Lord, therefore hear me.
36/26 It was said: Enter the garden. He said: O would that mypeople had known
36/27 Of that on account of which my Lord has forgiven me andmade me of the honored ones!
36/28 And We did not send down upon his people after him anyhosts from heaven, nor do We ever send down.
36/29 It was naught but a single cry, and lo! they were still.
36/30 Alas for the servants! there comes not to them anmessenger but they mock at him.
36/31 Do they not consider how many of the generations have Wedestroyed before them, because they do not turn to them?
36/32 And all of them shall surely be brought before Us.
36/33 And a sign to them is the dead earth: We give life to itand bring forth from it grain SQ they eat of it.
36/34 And We make therein gardens of palms and grapevines andWe make springs to flow forth in it,
36/35 That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their handsdid not make it; will they not then be grateful?
36/36 Glory be to Him Who created pairs of all things, of whatthe earth grows, and of their kind and of what they do notknow.
36/37 And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from itthe day, then lo! they are in the dark;
36/38 And the sun runs on to a term appointed for it; that isthe ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing.
36/39 And (as for) the moon, We have ordained for it stagestill it becomes again as an old dry palm branch.
36/40 Neither is it allowable to the sun that it shouldovertake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; andall float on in a sphere.
36/41 And a sign to them is that We bear their offspring inthe laden ship.
36/42 And We have created for them the like of it, what theywill ride on.
36/43 And if We please, We can drown them, then there shall beno succorer for them, nor shall they be rescued
36/44 But (by) mercy from Us and for enjoyment till a time.
36/45 And when it is said to them: Guard against what isbefore you and what is behind you, that mercy may be had onyou.
36/46 And there comes not to them a communication of thecommunications of their Lord but they turn aside from it.
36/47 And when it is said to them: Spend out of what Allah hasgiven you, those who disbelieve say to those who believe:Shall we feed him whom, if Allah please, He could feed? Youare in naught but clear error.
36/48 And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if youare truthful?
36/49 They wait not for aught but a single cry which willovertake them while they yet contend with one another.
36/50 So they shall not be able to make a bequest, nor shallthey return to their families.
36/51 And the trumpet shall be blown, when lo ! from theirgraves they shall hasten on to their Lord.
36/52 They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up fromour sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promisedand the messengers told the truth.
36/53 There would be naught but a single cry, when lo ! theyshall all be brought before Us;
36/54 So this day no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in theleast; and you shall not be rewarded aught but that whichyou did.
36/55 Surely the dwellers of the garden shall on that day bein an occupation quite happy.
36/56 They and their wives shall be in shades, reclining onraised couches.
36/57 They shall have fruits therein, and they shall havewhatever they desire.
36/58 Peace: a word from a Merciful Lord.
36/59 And get aside today, O guilty ones!
36/60 Did I not charge you, O children of Adam ! that youshould not serve the Shaitan? Surely he is your open enemy,
36/61 And that you should serve Me; this is the right way.
36/62 And certainly he led astray numerous people from amongyou. What! could you not then understand?
36/63 This is the hell with which you were threatened.
36/64 Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.
36/65 On that day We will set a seal upon their mouths, andtheir hands shall speak to Us, and their feet shall bearwitness of what they earned.
36/66 And if We please We would certainly put out their eyes,then they would run about groping for the way, but howshould they see?
36/67 And if We please We would surely transform them in theirplace, then they would not be able to go on, nor will theyreturn.
36/68 And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) toan abject state in constitution; do they not thenunderstand?
36/69 And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet forhim; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran,
36/70 That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) theword may prove true against the unbelievers.
36/71 Do they not see that We have created cattle for them,out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are theirmasters?
36/72 And We have subjected them to them, so some of them theyhave to ride upon, and some of them they eat.
36/73 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will theynot then be grateful?
36/74 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may behelped.
36/75 (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and theyshall be a host brought up before them.
36/76 Therefore let not their speech grieve you; surely Weknow what they do in secret and what they do openly.
36/77 Does not man see that We have created him from the smallseed? Then lo! he is an open disputant.
36/78 And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his owncreation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when theyare rotten?
36/79 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them intoexistence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation
36/80 He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from thegreen tree, so that with it you kindle (fire).
36/81 Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able tocreate the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (ofall), the Knower.
36/82 His command, when He intends anything, is only to say toit: Be, so it is.
36/83 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdomof all things, and to Him you shall be brought back.
37/1 I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
37/2 Then those who drive away with reproof,
37/3 Then those who recite, being mindful,
37/4 Most surely your Allah is One:
37/5 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is betweenthem, and Lord of the easts.
37/6 Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with anadornment, the stars,
37/7 And (there is) a safeguard against every rebelliousShaitan.
37/8 They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they arethrown at from every side,
37/9 Being driven off, and for them is a perpetualchastisement,
37/10 Except him who snatches off but once, then there followshim a brightly shining flame.
37/11 Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation orthose (others) whom We have created. Surely We created themof firm clay.
37/12 Nay! you wonder while they mock,
37/13 And when they are reminded, they mind not,
37/14 And when they see a sign they incite one another toscoff,
37/15 And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
37/16 What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones,shall we then certainly be raised,
37/17 Or our fathers of yore?
37/18 Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
37/19 So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shallsee.
37/20 And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day ofrequital.
37/21 This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
37/22 Gather together those who were unjust and theirassociates, and what they used to worship
37/23 Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
37/24 And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
37/25 What is the matter with you that you do not help eachother?
37/26 Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
37/27 And some of them shall advance towards others,questioning each other.
37/28 They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from theright side.
37/29 They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were notbelievers;
37/30 And we had no authority over you, but you were aninordinate people;
37/31 So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us:(now) we shall surely taste;
37/32 So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
37/33 So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisementone with another.
37/34 Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.
37/35 Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said tothem: There is no god but Allah;
37/36 And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods forthe sake of a mad poet?
37/37 Nay: he has come with the truth and verified themessengers.
37/38 Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.
37/39 And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
37/40 Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
37/41 For them is a known sustenance,
37/42 Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,
37/43 In gardens of pleasure,
37/44 On thrones, facing each other.
37/45 A bowl shall be made to go round them from water runningout of springs,
37/46 White, delicious to those who drink.
37/47 There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they beexhausted therewith.
37/48 And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes,having beautiful eyes;
37/49 As if they were eggs carefully protected.
37/50 Then shall some of them advance to others, questioningeach other.
37/51 A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had acomrade of mine,
37/52 Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (thetruth)?
37/53 What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones,shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?
37/54 He shall say: Will you look on?
37/55 Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.
37/56 He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me toperish;
37/57 And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I wouldcertainly have been among those brought up.
37/58 Is it then that we are not going to die,
37/59 Except our previous death? And we shall not bechastised?
37/60 Most surely this is the mighty achievement.
37/61 For the like of this then let the workers work.
37/62 Is this better as an entertainment or the tree ofZaqqum?
37/63 Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.
37/64 Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of thehell;
37/65 Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.
37/66 Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their)bellies with it.
37/67 Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of amixture prepared in boiling water.
37/68 Then most surely their return shall be to hell.
37/69 Surely they found their fathers going astray,
37/70 So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.
37/71 And certainly most of the ancients went astray beforethem,
37/72 And certainly We sent among them warners.
37/73 Then see how was the end of those warned,
37/74 Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
37/75 And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellentanswerer of prayer are We.
37/76 And We delivered him and his followers from the mightydistress.
37/77 And We made his offspring the survivors.
37/78 And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the latergenerations.
37/79 Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.
37/80 Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.
37/81 Surely he was of Our believing servants.
37/82 Then We drowned the others
37/83 And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.
37/84 When he came to his Lord with a free heart,
37/85 When he said to his father and his people: What is itthat you worship?
37/86 A lie-- gods besides Allah-- do you desire?
37/87 What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?
37/88 Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,
37/89 Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshippingthese).
37/90 So they went away from him, turning back.
37/91 Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said:What! do you not eat?
37/92 What is the matter with you that you do not speak?
37/93 Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them withthe right hand.
37/94 So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.
37/95 Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?
37/96 And Allah has created you and what you make.
37/97 They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him intothe burning fire.
37/98 And they desired a war against him, but We brought themlow.
37/99 And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.
37/100 My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
37/101 So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessingforbearance.
37/102 And when he attained to working with him, he said: O myson! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrificeyou; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! dowhat you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me ofthe patient ones.
37/103 So when they both submitted and he threw him down uponhis forehead,
37/104 And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
37/105 You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surelythus do We reward the doers of good:
37/106 Most surely this is a manifest trial.
37/107 And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
37/108 And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the latergenerations.
37/109 Peace be on Ibrahim.
37/110 Thus do We reward the doers of good.
37/111 Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
37/112 And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet amongthe good ones.
37/113 And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; andof their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) thosewho are clearly unjust to their own souls.
37/114 And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
37/115 And We delivered them both and their people from themighty distress.
37/116 And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
37/117 And We gave them both the Book that made (things)clear.
37/118 And We guided them both on the right way.
37/119 And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the latergenerations.
37/120 Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
37/121 Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
37/122 Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
37/123 And Ilyas was most surely of the messengers.
37/124 When he said to his people: Do you not guard (againstevil)?
37/125 What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of thecreators,
37/126 Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
37/127 But they called him a liar, therefore they shall mostsurely be brought up.
37/128 But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
37/129 And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the latergenerations.
37/130 Peace be on Ilyas.
37/131 Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
37/132 Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
37/133 And Lut was most surely of the messengers.
37/134 When We delivered him and his followers, all--
37/135 Except an old woman (who was) amongst those whotarried.
37/136 Then We destroyed the others.
37/137 And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
37/138 And at night; do you not then understand?
37/139 And Yunus was most surely of the messengers.
37/140 When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
37/141 So he shared (with them), but was of those who are castoff.
37/142 So the fish swallowed him while he did that for whichhe blamed himself
37/143 But had it not been that he was of those who glorify(Us),
37/144 He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the daywhen they are raised.
37/145 Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earthwhile he was sick.
37/146 And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
37/147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather theyexceeded.
37/148 And they believed, so We gave them provision till atime.
37/149 Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and theyhave sons.
37/150 Or did We create the angels females while they werewitnesses?
37/151 Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
37/152 Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
37/153 Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
37/154 What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
37/155 Will you not then mind?
37/156 Or have you a clear authority?
37/157 Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
37/158 And they assert a relationship between Him and thejinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surelybe brought up;
37/159 Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what theydescribe;
37/160 But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
37/161 So surely you and what you worship,
37/162 Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
37/163 Save him who will go to hell.
37/164 And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
37/165 And most surely we are they who draw themselves out inranks,
37/166 And we are most surely they who declare the glory (ofAllah).
37/167 And surely they used to say:
37/168 Had we a reminder from those of yore,
37/169 We would certainly have been the servants of Allah-- thepurified ones.
37/170 But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come toknow.
37/171 And certainly Our word has already gone forth inrespect of Our servants, the messengers:
37/172 Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
37/173 And most surely Our host alone shall be the victoriousones.
37/174 Therefore turn away from them till a time,
37/175 And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
37/176 What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
37/177 But when it shall descend in their court, evil shallthen be the morning of the warned ones.
37/178 And turn away from them till a time
37/179 And (then) see, for they too shall see.
37/180 Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above whatthey describe.
37/181 And peace be on the messengers.
37/182 And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
38/1 Suad, I swear by the Quran, full of admonition.
38/2 Nay! those who disbelieve are in self-exaltation andopposition.
38/3 How many did We destroy before them of the generations,then they cried while the time of escaping had passed away.
38/4 And they wonder that there has come to them a warner fromamong themselves, and the disbelievers say: This IS anenchanter, a liar.
38/5 What! makes he the gods a single Allah? A strange thing isthis, to be sure!
38/6 And the chief persons of them break forth, saying: Go andsteadily adhere to your gods; this is most surely a thingsought after.
38/7 We never heard of this in the former faith; this isnothing but a forgery:
38/8 Has the reminder been revealed to him from among us? Nay!they are in doubt as to My reminder. Nay! they have not yettasted My chastisement!
38/9 Or is it that they have the treasures of the mercy ofyour Lord, the Mighty, the great Giver?
38/10 Or is it that theirs is the kingdom of the heavens andthe earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend byany
38/11 A host of deserters of the allies shall be here put toflight.
38/12 The people of Nuh and Ad, and Firon, the lord of spikes,rejected (messengers) before them.
38/13 And Samood and the people of Lut and the dwellers of thethicket; these were the parties.
38/14 There was none of them but called the messengers liars, sojust was My retribution.
38/15 Nor do these await aught but a single cry, there beingno delay in it.
38/16 And they say: O our Lord! hasten on to us our portionbefore the day of reckoning.
38/17 Bear patiently what they say, and remember Our servantDawood, the possessor of power; surely he was frequent mreturning (to Allah).
38/18 Surely We made the mountains to sing the glory (ofAllah) in unison with him at the evening and the sunrise,
38/19 And the birds gathered together; all joined in singingwith him.
38/20 And We strengthened his kingdom and We gave him wisdomand a clear judgment.
38/21 And has there come to you the story of the litigants,when they made an entry into the private chamber byascending over the walls?
38/22 When they entered in upon Dawood and he was frightenedat them, they said: Fear not; two litigants, of whom one hasacted wrongfully towards the other, therefore decide betweenus with justice, and do not act unjustly, and guide us tothe right way.
38/23 Surely this is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes and Ihave a single ewe; but he said: Make it over to me, and hehas prevailed against me in discourse.
38/24 He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demandingyour ewe (to add) to his own ewes; and most surely most ofthe partners act wrongfully towards one another, save thosewho believe and do good, and very few are they; and Dawoodwas sure that We had tried him, so he sought the protectionof his Lord and he fell down bowing and turned time aftertime (to Him).
38/25 Therefore We rectified for him this, and most surely hehad a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.
38/26 o Dawood ! surely We have made you a ruler in the land;so judge between men with justice and do not follow desire,lest it should lead you astray from the path of Allah; (asfor) those who go astray from the path of Allah, they shallsurely have a severe punishment because they forgot the dayof reckoning.
38/27 And We did not create the heaven and the earth and whatis between them in vain; that is the opinion of those whodisbelieve then woe to those who disbelieve on account ofthe fire.
38/28 Shall We treat those who believe and do good like themischief-makers in the earth? Or shall We make those whoguard (against evil) like the wicked?
38/29 (It is) a Book We have revealed to you abounding in goodthat they may ponder over its verses, and that those endowedwith understanding may be mindful.
38/30 And We gave to Dawood Sulaiman, most excellent theservant! Surely he was frequent in returning (to Allah).
38/31 When there were brought to him in the evening (horses)still when standing, swift when running--
38/32 Then he said: Surely I preferred the good things to theremembrance of my Lord-- until the sun set and time for Asrprayer was over, (he said):
38/33 Bring them back to me; so he began to slash (their) legsand necks.
38/34 And certainly We tried Sulaiman, and We put on histhrone a (mere) body, so he turned (to Allah).
38/35 He said: My Lord! do Thou forgive me and grant me akingdom which is not fit for (being inherited by) anyoneafter me;
38/36 Then We made the wind subservient to him; it made hiscommand to run gently wherever he desired,
38/37 And the shaitans, every builder and diver,
38/38 And others fettered in chains.
38/39 This is Our free gift, therefore give freely orwithhold, without reckoning.
38/40 And most surely he had a nearness to Us and an excellentresort.
38/41 And remember Our servant Ayyub, when he called upon hisLord: The Shaitan has afflicted me with toil and torment.
38/42 Urge with your foot; here is a cool washing-place and adrink.
38/43 And We gave him his family and the like of them withthem, as a mercy from Us, and as a reminder to thosepossessed of understanding.
38/44 And take in your hand a green branch and beat her withIt and do not break your oath; surely We found him patient;most excellent the servant! Surely he was frequent mreturning (to Allah).
38/45 And remember Our servants Ibrahim and Ishaq and Yaqoub,men of power and insight.
38/46 Surely We purified them by a pure quality, the keeping mmind of the (final) abode.
38/47 And most surely they were with Us, of the elect, thebest.
38/48 And remember Ismail and Al-Yasha and Zulkifl; and theywere all of the best.
38/49 This is a reminder; and most surely there is anexcellent resort for those who guard (against evil),
38/50 The gardens of perpetuity, the doors are opened forthem.
38/51 Reclining therein, calling therein for many fruits anddrink.
38/52 And with them shall be those restraining their eyes,equals in age.
38/53 This is what you are promised for the day of reckoning.
38/54 Most surely this is Our sustenance; it shall never cometo an end;
38/55 This (shall be so); and most surely there is an evilresort for the inordinate ones;
38/56 Hell; they shall enter it, so evil is the resting-place.
38/57 This (shall be so); so let them taste it, boiling andintensely cold (drink).
38/58 And other (punishment) of the same kind-- of varioussorts.
38/59 This is an army plunging in without consideration alongwith you; no welcome for them, surely they shall enter fire.
38/60 They shall say: Nay! you-- no welcome to you: you didproffer it to us, so evil is the resting-place.
38/61 They shall say: Our Lord! whoever prepared it first forus, add Thou to him a double chastisement in the fire.
38/62 And they shall say: What is the matter with us that wedo not see men whom we used to count among the vicious?
38/63 Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have oureyes (now) turned aside from them?
38/64 That most surely is the truth: the contending one withanother of the inmates of the fire.
38/65 Say: I am only a warner, and there is no god but Allah,the One, the Subduer (of all):
38/66 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what isbetween them, the Mighty, the most Forgiving.
38/67 Say: It is a message of importance,
38/68 (And) you are turning aside from it:
38/69 I had no knowledge of the exalted chiefs when theycontended:
38/70 Naught is revealed to me save that I am a plain warner.
38/71 When your Lord said to the angels; Surely I am going tocreate a mortal from dust:
38/72 So when I have made him complete and breathed into himof My spirit, then fall down making obeisance to him.
38/73 And the angels did obeisance, all of them,
38/74 But not Iblis: he was proud and he was one of theunbelievers.
38/75 He said: O Iblis! what prevented you that you should doobeisance to him whom I created with My two hands? Are youproud or are you of the exalted ones?
38/76 He said: I am better than he; Thou hast created me offire, and him Thou didst create of dust.
38/77 He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are drivenaway:
38/78 And surely My curse is on you to the day of judgment.
38/79 He said: My Lord! then respite me to the day that theyare raised.
38/80 He said: Surely you are of the respited ones,
38/81 Till the period of the time made known.
38/82 He said: Then by Thy Might I will surely make them livean evil life, all,
38/83 Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.
38/84 He said: The truth then is and the truth do I speak:
38/85 That I will most certainly fill hell with you and withthose among them who follow you, all.
38/86 Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it; nor am I ofthose who affect:
38/87 It is nothing but a reminder to the nations;
38/88 And most certainly you will come to know about it aftera time.
39/1 The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, theWise.
39/2 Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truth,therefore serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience.
39/3 Now, surely, sincere obedience is due to Allah (alone)and (as for) those who take guardians besides Him, (saying),We do not serve them save that they may make us nearer toAllah, surely Allah will judge between them in that in whichthey differ; surely Allah does not guide him aright who is aliar, ungrateful.
39/4 If Allah desire to take a son to Himself, He will surelychoose those He pleases from what He has created. Glory beto Him: He is Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all).
39/5 He has created the heavens and the earth with the truth;He makes the night cover the day and makes the day overtakethe night, and He has made the sun and the moon subservient;each one runs on to an assigned term; now surely He is theMighty, the great Forgiver.
39/6 He has created you from a single being, then made itsmate of the same (kind), and He has made for you eight ofthe cattle in pairs. He creates you in the wombs of yourmothers-- a creation after a creation-- in triple darkness; thatis Allah your Lord, His is the kingdom; there is no god butHe; whence are you then turned away?
39/7 If you are ungrateful, then surely Allah isSelf-sufficient above all need of you; and He does not likeungratefulness in His servants; and if you are grateful, Helikes it in you; and no bearer of burden shall bear theburden of another; then to your Lord is your return, thenwill He inform you of what you did; surely He is Cognizantof what is in the breasts.
39/8 And when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his Lordturning to Him frequently; then when He makes him possess afavor from Him, he forgets that for which he called upon Himbefore, and sets up rivals to Allah that he may cause (men)to stray off from His path. Say: Enjoy yourself in yourungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates ofthe fire.
39/9 What! he who is obedient during hours of the night,prostrating himself and standing, takes care of thehereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Arethose who know and those who do not know alike? Only the menof understanding are mindful.
39/10 Say: O my servants who believe! be careful of (your dutyto) your Lord; for those who do good in this world is good,and Allah's earth is spacious; only the patient will be paidback their reward in full without measure.
39/11 Say: I am commanded that I should serve Allah, beingsincere to Him in obedience.
39/12 And I am commanded that I shall be the first of thosewho submit.
39/13 Say: I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of agrievous day.
39/14 Say: Allah (it is Whom) I serve, being sincere to Him inmy obedience:
39/15 Serve then what you like besides Him. Say: The loserssurely are those who shall have lost themselves and theirfamilies on the day of resurrection; now surely that is theclear loss.
39/16 They shall have coverings of fire above them andcoverings beneath them; with that Allah makes His servantsto fear, so be careful of (your duty to) Me, O My servants!
39/17 And (as for) those who keep off from the worship of theidols and turn to Allah, they shall have good news,therefore give good news to My servants,
39/18 Those who listen to the word, then follow the best ofit; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it iswho are the men of understanding.
39/19 What! as for him then against whom the sentence ofchastisement is due: What! can you save him who is in thefire?
39/20 But (as for) those who are careful of (their duty to)their Lord, they shall have high places, above them higherplaces, built (for them), beneath which flow rivers; (thisis) the promise of Allah: Allah will not fail in (His)promise.
39/21 Do you not see that Allah sends down water from thecloud, then makes it go along in the earth in springs, thenbrings forth therewith herbage of various colors, then itwithers so that you see it becoming yellow, then He makes ita thing crushed and broken into pieces? Most surely there isa reminder in this for the men of understanding.
39/22 What! is he whose heart Allah has opened for Islam sothat he is in a light from his Lord (like the hard-hearted)?Nay, woe to those whose hearts are hard against theremembrance of Allah; those are in clear error.
39/23 Allah has revealed the best announcement, a bookconformable in its various parts, repeating, whereat doshudder the skins of those who fear their Lord, then theirskins and their hearts become pliant to the remembrance ofAllah; this is Allah's guidance, He guides with it whom Hepleases; and (as for) him whom Allah makes err, there is noguide for him.
39/24 Is he then who has to guard himself with his own personagainst the evil chastisement on the resurrection day? Andit will be said to the unjust: Taste what you earned.
39/25 Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore therecame to them the chastisement from whence they perceivednot.
39/26 So Allah made them taste the disgrace in this world'slife, and certainly the punishment of the hereafter isgreater; did they but know!
39/27 And certainly We have set forth to men in this Quransimilitudes of every sort that they may mind.
39/28 An Arabic Quran without any crookedness, that they mayguard (against evil).
39/29 Allah sets forth an example: There is a slave in whomare (several) partners differing with one another, and thereis another slave wholly owned by one man. Are the two alikein condition? (All) praise is due to Allah. Nay! most ofthem do not know.
39/30 Surely you shall die and they (too) shall surely die.
39/31 Then surely on the day of resurrection you will contendone with another before. your Lord.
39/32 Who is then more unjust than he who utters a lie againstAllah and (he who) gives the lie to the truth when it comesto him; is there not in hell an abode for the unbelievers?
39/33 And he who brings the truth and (he who) accepts it asthe truth-- these are they that guard (against evil).
39/34 They shall have with their Lord what they please; thatis the reward of the doers of good;
39/35 So that Allah will do away with the worst of what theydid and give them their reward for the best of what they do.
39/36 Is not Allah sufficient for His servant? And they seekto frighten you with those besides Him; and whomsoever Allahmakes err, there is no guide for him.
39/37 And whom Allah guides, there is none that can lead himastray; is not Allah Mighty, the Lord of retribution?
39/38 And should you ask them, Who created the heavens and theearth? They would most certainly say: Allah. Say: Have youthen considered that what you call upon besides Allah, wouldthey, if Allah desire to afflict me with harm, be theremovers of His harm, or (would they), if Allah desire toshow me mercy, be the withholders of His mercy? Say: Allahis sufficient for me; on Him do the reliant rely.
39/39 Say: O my people! work in your place, surely I am aworker, so you will come to know.
39/40 Who it is to whom there shall come a punishment whichwill disgrace him and to whom will be due a lastingpunishment.
39/41 Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truthfor the sake of men; so whoever follows the right way, it isfor his own soul and whoever errs, he errs only to itsdetriment; and you are not a custodian over them.
39/42 Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, andthose that die not during their sleep; then He withholdsthose on whom He has passed the decree of death and sendsthe others back till an appointed term; most surely thereare signs in this for a people who reflect.
39/43 Or have they taken intercessors besides Allah? Say:what! even though they did not ever have control overanything, nor do they understand.
39/44 Say: Allah's is the intercession altogether; His is thekingdom of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you shallbe brought back.
39/45 And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of thosewho do not believe in the hereafter shrink, and when thosebesides Him are mentioned, lo! they are joyful.
39/46 Say: O Allah! Originator of the heavens and the earth,Knower of the unseen and the seen! Thou (only) judgestbetween Thy servants as to that wherein they differ.
39/47 And had those who are unjust all that is in the earthand the like of it with it, they would certainly offer it asransom (to be saved) from the evil of the punishment on theday of resurrection; and what they never thought of shallbecome plain to them from Allah.
39/48 And the evil (consequences) of what they wrought shallbecome plain to them, and the very thing they mocked atshall beset them.
39/49 So when harm afflicts a man he calls upon Us; then, whenWe give him a favor from Us, he says: I have been given itonly by means of knowledge. Nay, it is a trial, but most ofthem do not know.
39/50 Those before them did say it indeed, but what theyearned availed them not.
39/51 So there befell them the evil (consequences) of whatthey earned; and (as for) those who are unjust from amongthese, there shall befall them the evil (consequences) ofwhat they earn, and they shall not escape.
39/52 Do they not know that Allah makes ample the means ofsubsistence to whom He pleases, and He straitens; mostsurely there are signs in this for a people who believe.
39/53 Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly againsttheir own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah;surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He isthe Forgiving the Merciful.
39/54 And return to your Lord time after time and submit toHim before there comes to you the punishment, then you shallnot be helped.
39/55 And follow the best that has been revealed to you fromyour Lord before there comes to you the punishment all of asudden while you do not even perceive;
39/56 Lest a soul should say: O woe to me! for what I fellshort of my duty to Allah, and most surely I was of thosewho laughed to scorn;
39/57 Or it should say: Had Allah guided me, I would certainlyhave been of those who guard (against evil);
39/58 Or it should say when it sees the punishment: Were thereonly a returning for me, I should be of the doers of good.
39/59 Aye! My communications came to you, but you rejectedthem, and you were proud and you were one of theunbelievers.
39/60 And on the day of resurrection you shall see those wholied against Allah; their faces shall be blackened. Is therenot in hell an abode for the proud?
39/61 And Allah shall deliver those who guard (against evil)with their achievement; evil shall not touch them, nor shallthey grieve.
39/62 Allah is the Creator of every thing and He has chargeover every thing.
39/63 His are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; and(as for) those who disbelieve in the communications ofAllah, these it is that are the losers.
39/64 Say: What! Do you then bid me serve others than Allah, Oignorant men?
39/65 And certainly, it has been revealed to you and to thosebefore you: Surely if you associate (with Allah), your workwould certainly come to naught and you would certainly be ofthe losers.
39/66 Nay! but serve Allah alone and be of the thankful.
39/67 And they have not honored Allah with the honor that isdue to Him; and the whole earth shall be in His grip on theday of resurrection and the heavens rolled up in His righthand; glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above what theyassociate (with Him).
39/68 And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are inthe heavens and all those that are in the earth shall swoon,except such as Allah please; then it shall be blown again,then lo! they shall stand up awaiting.
39/69 And the earth shall beam with the light of its Lord, andthe Book shall be laid down, and the prophets and thewitnesses shall be brought up, and judgment shall be givenbetween them with justice, and they shall not be dealt withunjustly.
39/70 And every soul shall be paid back fully what it hasdone, and He knows best what they do.
39/71 And those who disbelieve shall be driven to hell incompanies; until, when they come to it, its doors shall beopened, and the keepers of it shall say to them: Did notthere come to you messengers from among you reciting to youthe communications of your Lord and warning you of themeeting of this day of yours? They shall say: Yea! But thesentence of punishment was due against the unbelievers.
39/72 It shall be said: Enter the gates of hell to abidetherein; so evil is the abode of the proud.
39/73 And those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lordshall be conveyed to the garden in companies; until whenthey come to it, and its doors shall be opened, and thekeepers of it shall say to them: Peace be on you, you shallbe happy; therefore enter it to abide.
39/74 And they shall say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Whohas made good to us His promise, and He has made us inheritthe land; we may abide in the garden where we please; sogoodly is the reward of the workers.
39/75 And you shall see the angels going round about thethrone glorifying the praise of their Lord; and judgmentshall be given between them with justice, and it shall besaid: All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
40/1 Ha Mim.
40/2 The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, theKnowing,
40/3 The Forgiver of the faults and the Acceptor ofrepentance, Severe to punish, Lord of bounty; there is nogod but He; to Him is the eventual coming.
40/4 None dispute concerning the communications of Allah butthose who disbelieve, therefore let not their going to andfro in the cities deceive you.
40/5 The people of Nuh and the parties after them rejected(prophets) before them, and every nation purposed againsttheir messenger to destroy him, and they disputed by means ofthe falsehood that they might thereby render null the truth,therefore I destroyed them; how was then My retribution!
40/6 And thus did the word of your Lord prove true againstthose who disbelieved that they are the inmates of the fire.
40/7 Those who bear the power and those around Him celebratethe praise of their Lord and believe in Him and askprotection for those who believe: Our Lord! Thou embracestall things in mercy and knowledge, therefore grantprotection to those who turn (to Thee) and follow Thy way,and save them from the punishment of the hell:
40/8 Our Lord! and make them enter the gardens of perpetuitywhich Thou hast promised to them and those who do good oftheir fathers and their wives and their offspring, surelyThou are the Mighty, the Wise.
40/9 And keep them from evil deeds, and whom Thou keepest fromevil deeds this day, indeed Thou hast mercy on him, and thatis the mighty achievement.
40/10 Surely those who disbelieve shall be cried out to:Certainly Allah's hatred (of you) when you were called uponto the faith and you rejected, is much greater than yourhatred of yourselves.
40/11 They shall say: Our Lord! twice didst Thou make ussubject to death, and twice hast Thou given us life, so wedo confess our faults; is there then a way to get out?
40/12 That is because when Allah alone was called upon, youdisbelieved, and when associates were given to Him, youbelieved; so judgment belongs to Allah, the High, the Great.
40/13 He it is Who shows you His signs and sends down for yousustenance from heaven, and none minds but he who turns (toHim) again and again.
40/14 Therefore call upon Allah, being sincere to Him inobedience, though the unbelievers are averse:
40/15 Possessor of the highest rank, Lord of power: He makesthe inspiration to light by His command upon whom He pleasesof His servants, that he may warn (men) of the day ofmeeting.
40/16 (Of) the day when they shall come forth, nothingconcerning them remains hidden to Allah. To whom belongs thekingdom this day? To Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all).
40/17 This day every soul shall be rewarded for what it hasearned; no injustice (shall be done) this day; surely Allahis quick in reckoning.
40/18 And warn them of the day that draws near, when heartsshall rise up to the throats, grieving inwardly; the unjustshall not have any compassionate friend nor any intercessorwho should be obeyed.
40/19 He knows the stealthy looks and that which the breastsconceal.
40/20 And Allah judges with the truth; and those whom theycall upon besides Him cannot judge aught; surely Allah isthe Hearing, the Seeing.
40/21 Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how wasthe end of those who were before them? Mightier than thesewere they in strength-- and in fortifications in the land, butAllah destroyed them for their sins; and there was not forthem any defender against Allah.
40/22 That was because there came to them their messengers withclear arguments, but they rejected (them), therefore Allahdestroyed them; surely He is Strong, Severe in retribution.
40/23 And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications andclear authority,
40/24 To Firon and Haman and Qaroun, but they said: A lyingmagician.
40/25 So when he brought to them the truth from Us, they said:Slay the sons of those who believe with him and keep theirwomen alive; and the struggle of the unbelievers will onlycome to a state of perdition.
40/26 And Firon said: Let me alone that I may slay Musa andlet him call upon his Lord; surely I fear that he willchange your religion or that he will make mischief to appearin the land.
40/27 And Musa said: Surely I take refuge with my Lord and--your Lord from every proud one who does not believe in theday of reckoning.
40/28 And a believing man of Firon's people who hid his faithsaid: What! will you slay a man because he says: My Lord isAllah, and indeed he has brought to you clear arguments fromyour Lord? And if he be a liar, on him will be his lie, andif he be truthful, there will befall you some of that whichhe threatens you (with); surely Allah does not guide him whois extravagant, a liar:
40/29 O my people! yours is the kingdom this day, beingmasters in the land, but who will help us against thepunishment of Allah if it come to us? Firon said: I do notshow you aught but that which I see (myself), and I do notmake you follow any but the right way.
40/30 And he who believed said: O my people! surely I fear foryou the like of what befell the parties:
40/31 The like of what befell the people of Nuh and Ad andSamood and those after them, and Allah does not desireinjustice for (His) servants;
40/32 And, O my people! I fear for you the day of calling out,
40/33 The day on which you will turn back retreating; thereshall be no savior for you from Allah, and whomsoever Allahcauses to err, there is no guide for him:
40/34 And certainly Yusuf came to you before with cleararguments, but you ever remained in doubt as to what hebrought; until when he died, you said: Allah will neverraise a messenger after him. Thus does Allah cause him to errwho is extravagant, a doubter
40/35 Those who dispute concerning the communications of Allahwithout any authority that He has given them; greatly hatedis it by Allah and by-those who believe. Thus does Allah seta seal over the heart of every proud, haughty one.
40/36 And Firon said: O Haman! build for me a tower that I mayattain the means of access,
40/37 The means of access to the heavens, then reach the godof Musa, and I surely think him to be a liar. And thus theevil of his deed was made fairseeming to Firon, and he wasturned away from the way; and the struggle of Firon was not(to end) in aught but destruction.
40/38 And he who believed said: O my people! follow me, I willguide you to the right course;
40/39 O my people! this life of the world is only a (passing)enjoyment, and surely the hereafter is the abode to settle;
40/40 Whoever does an evil, he shall not be recompensed (withaught) but the like of it, and whoever does good, whethermale or female, and he is a believer, these shall enter thegarden, in which they shall be given sustenance withoutmeasure.
40/41 And, O my people! how is it that I call you to salvationand you call me to the fire?
40/42 You call on me that I should disbelieve in Allah andassociate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and Icall you to the Mighty, the most Forgiving;
40/43 No doubt that what you call me to has no title to becalled to in this world, nor in the hereafter, and that ourturning back is to Allah, and that the extravagant are theinmates of the fire;
40/44 So you shall remember what I say to you, and I entrustmy affair to Allah, Surely Allah sees the servants.
40/45 So Allah protected him from the evil (consequences) ofwhat they planned, and the most evil punishment overtookFiron's people:
40/46 The fire; they shall be brought before it (every)morning and evening and on the day when the hour shall cometo pass: Make Firon's people enter the severestchastisement.
40/47 And when they shall contend one with another in thefire, then the weak shall say to those who were proud:Surely we were your followers; will you then avert from us aportion of the fire?
40/48 Those who were proud shall say: Surely we are all in it:surely Allah has judged between the servants.
40/49 And those who are in the fire shall say to the keepersof hell: Call upon your Lord that He may lighten to us oneday of the punishment.
40/50 They shall say: Did not your messengers come to you withclear arguments? They shall say: Yea. They shall say: Thencall. And the call of the unbelievers is only in error.
40/51 Most surely We help Our messengers, and those whobelieve, in this world's life and on the day when thewitnesses shall stand
40/52 The day on which their excuse shall not benefit theunjust, and for them is curse and for them is the evilabode.
40/53 And certainly We gave Musa the guidance, and We made thechildren of Israel inherit the Book,
40/54 A guidance and a reminder to the men of understanding.
40/55 Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah istrue; and ask protection for your fault and sing the praiseof your Lord in the evening and the morning.
40/56 Surely (as for) those who dispute about thecommunications of Allah without any authority that has cometo them, there is naught in their breasts but (a desire) tobecome great which they shall never attain to; Thereforeseek refuge in Allah, surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
40/57 Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth isgreater than the creation of the men, but most people do notknow
40/58 And the blind and the seeing are not alike, nor thosewho believe and do good and the evil-doer; little is it thatyou are mindful.
40/59 Most surely the hour is coming, there is no doubttherein, but most people do not believe.
40/60 And your Lord says: Call upon Me, I will answer you;surely those who are too proud for My service shall soonenter hell abased.
40/61 Allah is He Who made for you the night that you may resttherein and the day to see; most surely Allah is Gracious tomen, but most men do not give thanks.
40/62 That is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of everything;there is no Allah but He; whence are you then turned away?
40/63 Thus were turned away those who denied thecommunications of Allah.
40/64 Allah is He Who made the earth a resting-place for youand the heaven a canopy, and He formed you, then made goodlyyour forms, and He provided you with goodly things; that isAllah, your Lord; blessed then is Allah, the Lord of theworlds.
40/65 He is the Living, there is no god but He, therefore callon Him, being sincere to Him in obedience; (all) praise isdue to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
40/66 Say: I am forbidden to serve those whom you call uponbesides Allah when clear arguments have come to me from myLord, and I am commanded that I should submit to the Lord ofthe worlds.
40/67 He it is Who created you from dust, then from a smalllifegerm, then from a clot, then He brings you forth as achild, then that you may attain your maturity, then that youmay be old-- and of you there are some who are caused to diebefore-- and that you may reach an appointed term, and thatyou may understand.
40/68 He it is Who gives life and brings death, so when Hedecrees an affair, He only says to it: Be, and it is.
40/69 Have you not seen those who dispute with respect to thecommunications of Allah: how are they turned away?
40/70 Those who reject the Book and that with which We havesent Our Messenger; but they shall soon come to know,
40/71 When the fetters and the chains shall be on their necks;they shall be dragged
40/72 Into boiling water, then in the fire shall they be burned;
40/73 Then shall it be said to them: Where is that which youused to set up
40/74 Besides Allah? They shall say: They are gone away fromus, nay, we used not to call upon anything before. Thus doesAllah confound the unbelievers.
40/75 That is because you exulted in the land unjustly andbecause you behaved insolently.
40/76 Enter the gates of hell to abide therein, evil then isthe abode of the proud.
40/77 So be patient, surely the promise of Allah is true. Soshould We make you see part of what We threaten them with,or should We cause you to die, to Us shall they be returned.
40/78 And certainly We sent messengers before you: there aresome of them that We have mentioned to you and there areothers whom We have not mentioned to you, and it was notmeet for a messenger that he should bring a sign except withAllah's permission, but when the command of Allah came,judgment was given with truth, and those who treated (it) asa lie were lost.
40/79 Allah is He Who made the cattle for you that you mayride on some of them, and some of them you eat.
40/80 And there are advantages for you in them, and that youmay attain thereon a want which is in your breasts, and uponthem and upon the ships you are borne.
40/81 And He shows you His signs: which then of Allah's signswill you deny?
40/82 Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen howwas the end of those before them? They were more (innumbers) than these and greater in strength and infortifications in the land, but what they earned did notavail them.
40/83 Then when their messengers came to them with cleararguments, they exulted in what they had with them ofknowledge, and there beset them that which they used tomock.
40/84 But when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believein Allah alone and we deny what we used to associate withHim.
40/85 But their belief was not going to profit them when theyhad seen Our punishment; (this is) Allah's law, which hasindeed obtained in the matter of His servants, and there theunbelievers are lost.
41/1 Ha Mim!
41/2 A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful Allah:
41/3 A Book of which the verses are made plain, an ArabicQuran for a people who know:
41/4 A herald of good news and a warner, but most of them turnaside so they hear not.
41/5 And they say: Our hearts are under coverings from that towhich you call us, and there is a heaviness in our ears, anda veil hangs between us and you, so work, we too areworking.
41/6 Say: I am only a mortal like you; it is revealed to methat your Allah is one Allah, therefore follow the right way toHim and ask His forgiveness; and woe to the polytheists;
41/7 (To) those who do not give poor-rate and they areunbelievers in the hereafter.
41/8 (As for) those who believe and do good, they shall surelyhave a reward never to be cut off.
41/9 Say: What! do you indeed disbelieve in Him Who createdthe earth in two periods, and do you set up equals with Him?That is the Lord of the Worlds.
41/10 And He made in it mountains above its surface, and Heblessed therein and made therein its foods, in four periods:alike for the seekers.
41/11 Then He directed Himself to the heaven and it is avapor, so He said to it and to the earth: Come both,willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly.
41/12 So He ordained them seven heavens in two periods, andrevealed in every heaven its affair; and We adorned thelower heaven with brilliant stars and (made it) to guard;that is the decree of the Mighty, the Knowing.
41/13 But if they turn aside, then say: I have warned you of ascourge like the scourge of Ad and Samood.
41/14 When their messengers came to them from before them andfrom behind them, saying, Serve nothing but Allah, theysaid: If our Lord had pleased He would certainly have sentdown angels, so we are surely unbelievers in that with whichyou are sent.
41/15 Then as to Ad, they were unjustly proud in the land, andthey said: Who is mightier in strength than we? Did they notsee that Allah Who created them was mightier than they instrength, and they denied Our communications?
41/16 So We sent on them a furious wind in unlucky days, thatWe may make them taste the chastisement of abasement in thisworld's life; and certainly the chastisement of thehereafter is much more abasing, and they shall not behelped.
41/17 And as to Samood, We showed them the right way, but theychose error above guidance, so there overtook them thescourge of an abasing chastisement for what they earned.
41/18 And We delivered those who believed and guarded (againstevil).
41/19 And on the day that the enemies of Allah shall bebrought together to the fire, then they shall be formed intogroups.
41/20 Until when they come to it, their ears and their eyesand their skins shall bear witness against them as to whatthey did.
41/21 And they shall say to their skins: Why have you bornewitness against us? They shall say: Allah Who makeseverything speak has made us speak, and He created you atfirst, and to Him you shall be brought back.
41/22 And you did not veil yourselves lest your ears and youreyes and your skins should bear witness against you, but youthought that Allah did not know most of what you did.
41/23 And that was your (evil) thought which you entertainedabout your Lord that has tumbled you down into perdition, soare you become of the lost ones.
41/24 Then if they will endure, still the fire is their abode,and if they ask for goodwill, then are they not of those whoshall be granted goodwill.
41/25 And We have appointed for them comrades so they havemade fair-seeming to them what is before them and what isbehind them, and the word proved true against them-- among thenations of the jinn and the men that have passed away beforethem-- that they shall surely be losers.
41/26 And those who disbelieve say: Do not listen to thisQuran and make noise therein, perhaps you may overcome.
41/27 Therefore We will most certainly make those whodisbelieve taste a severe punishment, and We will mostcertainly reward them for the evil deeds they used to do.
41/28 That is the reward of the enemies of Allah-- the fire; forthem therein shall be the house of long abiding; a rewardfor their denying Our communications.
41/29 And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! show usthose who led us astray from among the jinn and the men thatwe may trample them under our feet so that they may be ofthe lowest.
41/30 (As for) those who say: Our Lord is Allah, then continuein the right way, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fearnot, nor be grieved, and receive good news of the gardenwhich you were promised.
41/31 We are your guardians in this world's life and in thehereafter, and you shall have therein what your souls desireand you shall have therein what you ask for:
41/32 A provision from the Forgiving, the Merciful.
41/33 And who speaks better than he who calls to Allah whilehe himself does good, and says: I am surely of those whosubmit?
41/34 And not alike are the good and the evil. Repel (evil)with what is best, when lo! he between whom and you wasenmity would be as if he were a warm friend.
41/35 And none are made to receive it but those who arepatient, and none are made to receive it but those who havea mighty good fortune.
41/36 And if an interference of the Shaitan should cause youmischief, seek refuge in Allah; surely He is the Hearing,the Knowing.
41/37 And among His signs are the night and the day and thesun and the moon; do not prostrate to the sun nor tothe moon; and prostrate to Allah Who created them, ifHim it is that you serve.
41/38 But if they are proud, yet those with your Lord glorifyHim during the night and the day, and they are not tired.
41/39 And among His signs is this, that you see the earthstill, but when We send down on it the water, it stirs andswells: most surely He Who gives it life is the Giver oflife to the dead; surely He has power over all things.
41/40 Surely they who deviate from the right way concerningOur communications are not hidden from Us. What! is he thenwho is cast into the fire better, or he who comes safe onthe day of resurrection? Do what you like, surely He seeswhat you do.
41/41 Surely those who disbelieve in the reminder when itcomes to them, and most surely it is a Mighty Book:
41/42 Falsehood shall not come to it from before it nor frombehind it; a revelation from the Wise, the Praised One.
41/43 Naught is said to you but what was said indeed to themessengers before you; surely your Lord is the Lord offorgiveness and the Lord of painful retribution.
41/44 And if We had made it a Quran in a foreign tongue, theywould certainly have said: Why have not its communicationsbeen made clear? What! a foreign (tongue) and an Arabian!Say: It is to those who believe a guidance and a healing;and (as for) those who do not believe, there is a heavinessin their ears and it is obscure to them; these shall becalled to from a far-off place.
41/45 And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, but it has beendiffered about, and had not a word already gone forth fromyour Lord, judgment would certainly have been given betweenthem; and most surely they are in a disquieting doubt aboutit.
41/46 Whoever does good, it is for his own soul, and whoeverdoes evil, it is against it; and your Lord is not in theleast unjust to the servants.
41/47 To Him is referred the knowledge of the hour, and therecome not forth any of the fruits from their coverings, nordoes a female bear, nor does she give birth, but with Hisknowledge; and on the day when He shall call out to them,Where are (those whom you called) My associates? They shallsay: We declare to Thee, none of us is a witness.
41/48 And away from them shall go what they called uponbefore, and they shall know for certain that there is noescape for them.
41/49 Man is never tired of praying for good, and if eviltouch him, then he is despairing, hopeless.
41/50 And if We make him taste mercy from Us after distressthat has touched him, he would most certainly say: This isof me, and I do not think the hour will come to pass, and ifI am sent back to my Lord, I shall have with Him sure good;but We will most certainly inform those who disbelieved ofwhat they did, and We will most certainly make them taste ofhard chastisement.
41/51 And when We show favor to man, he turns aside andwithdraws himself; and when evil touches him, he makeslengthy supplications.
41/52 Say: Tell me if it is from Allah; then you disbelieve init, who is in greater error than he who is in a prolongedopposition?
41/53 We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and intheir own souls, until it will become quite clear to themthat it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards yourLord that He is a witness over all things?
41/54 Now surely they are in doubt as to the meeting of theirLord; now surely He encompasses all things.
42/1 Ha Mim.
42/2 Ain Sin Qaf.
42/3 Thus does Allah, the Mighty, the Wise, reveal to you, and(thus He revealed) to those before you.
42/4 His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth,and He is the High, the Great.
42/5 The heavens may almost rend asunder from above them andthe angels sing the praise of their Lord and ask forgivenessfor those on earth; now surely Allah is the Forgiving, theMerciful.
42/6 And (as for) those who take guardians besides Him, Allahwatches over them, and you have not charge over them.
42/7 And thus have We revealed to you an Arabic Quran, thatyou may warn the mother city and those around it, and thatyou may give warning of the day of gathering togetherwherein is no doubt; a party shall be in the garden and(another) party in the burning fire.
42/8 And if Allah had pleased He would surely have made them asingle community, but He makes whom He pleases enter intoHis mercy, and the unjust it is that shall have no guardianor helper.
42/9 Or have they taken guardians besides Him? But Allah isthe Guardian, and He gives life to the dead, and He haspower over all things.
42/10 And in whatever thing you disagree, the judgment thereofis (in) Allah's (hand); that is Allah, my Lord, on Him do Irely and to Him do I turn time after time.
42/11 The Originator of the heavens and the earth; He mademates for you from among yourselves, and mates of the cattletoo, multiplying you thereby; nothing like a likeness ofHim; and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
42/12 His are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; Hemakes ample and straitens the means of subsistence for whomHe pleases; surely He is Cognizant of all things.
42/13 He has made plain to you of the religion what Heenjoined upon Nuh and that which We have revealed to you andthat which We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa thatkeep to obedience and be not divided therein; hard to theunbelievers is that which you call them to; Allah choosesfor Himself whom He pleases, and guides to Himself him whoturns (to Him), frequently.
42/14 And they did not become divided until after knowledgehad come to them out of envy among themselves; and had not aword gone forth from your Lord till an appointed term,certainly judgment would have been given between them; andthose who were made to inherit the Book after them are mostsurely in disquieting doubt concerning it.
42/15 To this then go on inviting, and go on steadfastly onthe right way as you are commanded, and do not follow theirlow desires, and say: I believe in what Allah has revealedof the Book, and I am commanded to do justice between you:Allah is our Lord and your Lord; we shall have our deeds andyou shall have your deeds; no plea need there be (now)between us and you: Allah will gather us together, and toHim is the return.
42/16 And (as for) those who dispute about Allah after thatobedience has been rendered to Him, their plea is null withtheir Lord, and upon them is wrath, and for them is severepunishment.
42/17 Allah it is Who revealed the Book with truth, and thebalance, and what shall make you know that haply the hour benigh?
42/18 Those who do not believe in it would hasten it on, andthose who believe are in fear from it, and they know that itis the truth. Now most surely those who dispute obstinatelyconcerning the hour are in a great error.
42/19 Allah is Benignant to His servants; He gives sustenanceto whom He pleases, and He is the Strong, the Mighty.
42/20 Whoever desires the gain of the hereafter, We will givehim more of that gain; and whoever desires the gain of thisworld, We give him of it, and in the hereafter he has noportion.
42/21 Or have they associates who have prescribed for them anyreligion that Allah does not sanction? And were it not forthe word of judgment, decision would have certainly beengiven between them; and surely the unjust shall have apainful punishment.
42/22 You will see the unjust fearing on account of what theyhave earned, and it must befall them; and those who believeand do good shall be in the meadows of the gardens; theyshall have what they please with their Lord: that is thegreat grace.
42/23 That is of which Allah gives the good news to Hisservants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say: Ido not ask of you any reward for it but love for my nearrelatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of goodtherein; surely Allah is Forgiving, Grateful.
42/24 Or do they say: He has forged a lie against Allah? Butif Allah pleased, He would seal your heart; and Allah willblot out the falsehood and confirm the truth with His words;surely He is Cognizant of what is in the breasts.
42/25 And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servantsand pardons the evil deeds and He knows what you do;
42/26 And He answers those who believe and do good deeds, andgives them more out of His grace; and (as for) theunbelievers, they shall have a severe punishment.
42/27 And if Allah should amplify the provision for Hisservants they would certainly revolt in the earth; but Hesends it down according to a measure as He pleases; surelyHe is Aware of, Seeing, His servants.
42/28 And He it is Who sends down the rain after they havedespaired, and He unfolds His mercy; and He is the Guardian,the Praised One.
42/29 And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens andthe earth and what He has spread forth in both of them ofliving beings; and when He pleases He is all-powerful togather them together.
42/30 And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account ofwhat your hands have wrought, and (yet) He pardons most (ofyour faults).
42/31 And you cannot escape in the earth, and you shall nothave a guardian or a helper besides Allah.
42/32 And among His signs are the ships in the sea likemountains.
42/33 If He pleases, He causes the wind to become still sothat they lie motionless on its back; most surely there aresigns in this for every patient, grateful one,
42/34 Or He may make them founder for what they have earned,and (even then) pardon most;
42/35 And (that) those who dispute about Our communicationsmay know; there is no place of refuge for them.
42/36 So whatever thing you are given, that is only aprovision of this world's life, and what is with Allah isbetter and more lasting for those who believe and rely ontheir Lord.
42/37 And those who. shun the great sins and indecencies, andwhenever they are angry they forgive.
42/38 And those who respond to their Lord and keep up prayer,and their rule is to take counsel among themselves, and whospend out of what We have given them.
42/39 And those who, when great wrong afflicts them, defendthemselves.
42/40 And the recompense of evil is punishment like it, butwhoever forgives and amends, he shall have his reward fromAllah; surely He does not love the unjust.
42/41 And whoever defends himself after his being oppressed,these it is against whom there is no way (to blame).
42/42 The way (to blame) is only against those who oppress menand revolt in the earth unjustly; these shall have a painfulpunishment.
42/43 And whoever is patient and forgiving, these most surelyare actions due to courage.
42/44 And whomsoever Allah makes err, he has no guardian afterHim; and you shall see the unjust, when they see thepunishment, saying: Is there any way to return?
42/45 And you shall see them brought before it humblingthemselves because of the abasements, looking with a faintglance. And those who believe shall say: Surely the losersare they who have lost themselves and their followers on theresurrection day. Now surely the iniquitous shall remain inlasting chastisement.
42/46 And they shall have no friends to help them besidesAllah; and-- whomsoever Allah makes err, he shall have no way.
42/47 Hearken to your Lord before there comes the day fromAllah for which there shall be no averting; you shall haveno refuge on that day, nor shall it be yours to make adenial.
42/48 But if they turn aside, We have not sent you as awatcher over them; on you is only to deliver (the message);and surely when We make man taste mercy from Us, he rejoicesthereat; and if an evil afflicts them on account of whattheir hands have already done, then-surely man isungrateful.
42/49 Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; Hecreates what He pleases; He grants to whom He pleasesdaughters and grants to whom He pleases sons.
42/50 Or He makes them of both sorts, male and female; and Hemakes whom He pleases barren; surely He is the Knowing, thePowerful.
42/51 And it is not for any mortal that Allah should speak tothem, they could not bear to hear and they did not see.
42/52 And thus did We reveal to you an inspired book by Ourcommand. You did not know what the Book was, nor (what) thefaith (was), but We made it a light, guiding thereby whom Weplease of Our servants; and most surely you show the way tothe right path:
42/53 The path of Allah, Whose is whatsoever is in the heavensand whatsoever is in the earth; now surely to Allah do allaffairs eventually come.
43/1 Ha Mim.
43/2 I swear by the Book that makes things clear:
43/3 Surely We have made it an Arabic Quran that you mayunderstand.
43/4 And surely it is in the original of the Book with Us,truly elevated, full of wisdom.
43/5 What! shall We then turn away the reminder from youaltogether because you are an extravagant people?
43/6 And how many a prophet have We sent among the ancients.
43/7 And there came not to them a prophet but they mocked athim.
43/8 Then We destroyed those who were stronger than these inprowess, and the case of the ancients has gone before,
43/9 And if you should ask them, Who created the heavens andthe earth? they would most certainly say: The Mighty, theKnowing One, has created them;
43/10 He Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and madein it ways for you that you may go aright;
43/11 And He Who sends down water from the cloud according toa measure, then We raise to life thereby a dead country,even thus shall you be brought forth;
43/12 And He Who created pairs of all things, and made for youof the ships and the cattle what you ride on,
43/13 That you may firmly sit on their backs, then rememberthe favor of your Lord when you are firmly seated thereon,and say: Glory be to Him Who made this subservient to us andwe were not able to do it
43/14 And surely to our Lord we must return.
43/15 And they assign to Him a part of His servants; man, tobe sure, is clearly ungrateful.
43/16 What! has He taken daughters to Himself of what HeHimself creates and chosen you to have sons?
43/17 And when one of them is given news of that of which hesets up as a likeness for the Beneficent Allah, his facebecomes black and he is full of rage.
43/18 What! that which is made in ornaments and which incontention is unable to make plain speech!
43/19 And they make the angels-- them who are the servants ofthe Beneficent Allah-- female (divinities). What! did theywitness their creation? Their evidence shall be written downand they shall be questioned.
43/20 And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, weshould never have worshipped them. They have no knowledge ofthis; they only lie.
43/21 Or have We given them a book before it so that they holdfast to it?
43/22 Nay! they say: We found our fathers on a course, andsurely we are guided by their footsteps.
43/23 And thus, We did not send before you any warner in atown, but those who led easy lives in it said: Surely wefound our fathers on a course, and surely we are followersof their footsteps.
43/24 (The warner) said: What! even if I bring to you a betterguide than that on which you found your fathers? They said:Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you are sent.
43/25 So We inflicted retribution on them, then see how wasthe end of the rejecters.
43/26 And when Ibrahim said to his father and his people:Surely I am clear of what you worship,
43/27 Save Him Who created me, for surely He will guide me.
43/28 And he made it a word to continue in his posterity thatthey may return.
43/29 Nay! I gave them and their fathers to enjoy until therecame to them the truth and a Messenger making manifest (thetruth).
43/30 And when there came to them the truth they said: This ismagic, and surely we are disbelievers in it.
43/31 And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a manof importance in the two towns?
43/32 Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? Wedistribute among them their livelihood in the life of thisworld, and We j have exalted some of them above others indegrees, that some of them may take others in subjection;and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.
43/33 And were it not that all people had been a singlenation, We would certainly have assigned to those whodisbelieve in the Beneficent Allah (to make) of silver theroofs of their houses and the stairs by which they ascend.
43/34 And the doors of their houses and the couches on whichthey recline,
43/35 And (other) embellishments of gold; and all this isnaught but provision of this world's life, and the hereafteris with your Lord only for those who guard (against evil).
43/36 And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance ofthe Beneficent Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan, so hebecomes his associate.
43/37 And most surely they turn them away from the path, andthey think that they are guided aright:
43/38 Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that betweenme and you there were the distance of the East and the West;so evil is the associate!
43/39 And since you were unjust, it will not profit you thisday that you are sharers in the chastisement.
43/40 What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide theblind and him who is in clear error?
43/41 But if We should take you away, still We shall inflictretribution on them;
43/42 Rather We will certainly show you that which We havepromised them; for surely We are the possessors of fullpower over them.
43/43 Therefore hold fast to that which has been revealed toyou; surely you are on the right path.
43/44 And most surely it is a reminder for you and yourpeople, and you shall soon be questioned.
43/45 And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before you:Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides theBeneficent Allah?
43/46 And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications toFiron and his chiefs, so he said: Surely I am the messenger ofthe Lord of the worlds.
43/47 But when he came to them with Our signs, lo! theylaughed at them.
43/48 And We did not show them a sign but it was greater thanits like, and We overtook them with chastisement that theymay turn.
43/49 And they said: O magician! call on your Lord for oursake, as He has made the covenant with you; we shall surelybe the followers of the right way.
43/50 But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! theybroke the pledge.
43/51 And Firon proclaimed amongst his people: O my people! isnot the kingdom of Egypt mine? And these rivers flow beneathme; do you not then see?
43/52 Nay! I am better than this fellow, who is contemptible,and who can hardly speak distinctly:
43/53 But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, orwhy have there not come with him angels as companions?
43/54 So he incited his people to levity and they obeyed him:surely they were a transgressing people.
43/55 Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted a retributionon them, so We drowned them all together,
43/56 And We made them a precedent and example to the latergenerations.
43/57 And when a description of the son of Marium is given,lo! your people raise a clamor thereat.
43/58 And they say: Are our gods better, or is he? They do notset it forth to you save by way of disputation; nay, theyare a contentious people.
43/59 He was naught but a servant on whom We bestowed favor,and We made him an example for the children of Israel.
43/60 And if We please, We could make among you angels to besuccessors in the land.
43/61 And most surely it is a knowledge of the hour, thereforehave no doubt about it and follow me: this is the rightpath.
43/62 And let not the Shaitan prevent you; surely he is your jopen enemy.
43/63 And when Isa came with clear arguments he said: I havecome to you indeed with wisdom, and that I may make clear toyou part of what you differ in; so be careful of (your dutyto) Allah and obey me:
43/64 Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serveHim; this is the right path:
43/65 But parties from among them differed, so woe to thosewho were unjust because of the chastisement of a painfulday.
43/66 Do they wait for aught but the hour, that it should come! upon them all of a sudden while they do not perceive?
43/67 The friends shall on that day be enemies one to another,except those who guard (against evil).
43/68 O My servants! there is no fear for you this day, norshall you grieve.
43/69 Those who believed in Our communications and weresubmissive:
43/70 Enter the garden, you and your wives; you shall be madehappy.
43/71 There shall be sent round to them golden bowls anddrinking-cups and therein shall be what their souls yearnafter and (wherein) the eyes shall delight, and you shallabide therein.
43/72 And this is the garden which you are given as aninheritance on account of what you did.
43/73 For you therein are many fruits of which you shall eat.
43/74 Surely the guilty shall abide in the chastisement ofhell.
43/75 It shall not be abated from them and they shall thereinbe despairing.
43/76 And We are not unjust to them, but they themselves wereunjust.
43/77 And they shall call out: O Malik! let your Lord make anend of us. He shall say: Surely you shall tarry.
43/78 Certainly We have brought you the truth, but most of youare averse to the truth.
43/79 Or have they settled an affair? Then surely We are thesettlers.
43/80 Or do they think that We do not hear what they concealand their secret discourses? Aye! and Our messengers withthem write down.
43/81 Say: If the Beneficent Allah has a son, I am the foremostof those who serve.
43/82 Glory to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lordof power, from what they describe.
43/83 So leave them plunging into false discourses andsporting until they meet their day which they are threatenedwith.
43/84 And He it is Who is Allah in the heavens and Allah in theearth; and He is the Wise, the Knowing.
43/85 And blessed is He Whose is the kingdom of the heavensand the earth and what is between them, and with Him is theknowledge of the hour, and to Him shall you be brought back.
43/86 And those whom they call upon besides Him have noauthority for intercession, but he who bears witness of thetruth and they know (him).
43/87 And if you should ask them who created them, they wouldcertainly say: Allah. Whence are they then turned back?
43/88 Consider his cry: O my Lord! surely they are a peoplewho do not believe.
43/89 So turn away from them and say, Peace, for they shallsoon come to know.
44/1 Ha Mim!
44/2 I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth).
44/3 Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We areever warning--
44/4 Therein every wise affair is made distinct,
44/5 A command from Us; surely We are the senders (ofmessengers),
44/6 A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, theKnowing,
44/7 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is betweenthem, if you would be sure.
44/8 There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death,your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.
44/9 Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.
44/10 Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shallbring an evident smoke,
44/11 That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.
44/12 Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we arebelievers.
44/13 How shall they be reminded, and there came to them anMessenger making clear (the truth),
44/14 Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught(by others), a madman.
44/15 Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) youwill surely return (to evil).
44/16 On the day when We will seize (them) with the mostviolent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.
44/17 And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon,and there came to them a noble messenger,
44/18 Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I ama faithful messenger to you,
44/19 And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely Iwill bring to you a clear authority:
44/20 And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord thatyou should stone me to death:
44/21 And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.
44/22 Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
44/23 So go forth with My servants by night; surely you willbe pursued:
44/24 And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a hostthat shall be drowned.
44/25 How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!
44/26 And cornfields and noble places!
44/27 And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;
44/28 Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to anotherpeople.
44/29 So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, norwere they respited.
44/30 And certainly We delivered the children of Israel fromthe abasing chastisement,
44/31 From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of theextravagant.
44/32 And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above thenations.
44/33 And We gave them of the communications wherein was clearblessing.
44/34 Most surely these do say:
44/35 There is naught but our first death and we shall not beraised again.
44/36 So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.
44/37 Are they better or the people of Tubba and those beforethem? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
44/38 And We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatis between them in sport.
44/39 We did not create them both but with the truth, but mostof them do not know.
44/40 Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, ofall of them
44/41 The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friendaught, nor shall they be helped,
44/42 Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He isthe Mighty the Merciful.
44/43 Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,
44/44 Is the food of the sinful
44/45 Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,
44/46 Like the boiling of hot water.
44/47 Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of thehell;
44/48 Then pour above his head of the torment of the boilingwater:
44/49 Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:
44/50 Surely this is what you disputed about.
44/51 Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secureplace,
44/52 In gardens and springs;
44/53 They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) faceto face;
44/54 Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Hourispure, beautiful ones.
44/55 They shall call therein for every fruit in security;
44/56 They shall not taste therein death except the firstdeath, and He will save them from the punishment of thehell,
44/57 A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.
44/58 So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may bemindful.
44/59 Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
45/1 Ha Mim.
45/2 The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, theWise.
45/3 Most surely in the heavens and the earth there are signsfor the believers.
45/4 And in your (own) creation and in what He spreads abroadof animals there are signs for a people that are sure;
45/5 And (in) the variation of the night and the day, and (in)what Allah sends down of sustenance from the cloud, thengives life thereby to the earth after its death, and (in)the changing of the winds, there are signs for a people whounderstand.
45/6 These are the communications of Allah which We recite toyou with truth; then in what announcement would they believeafter Allah and His communications?
45/7 Woe to every sinful liar,
45/8 Who hears the communications of Allah recited to him,then persists proudly as though he had not heard them; soannounce to him a painful punishment.
45/9 And when he comes to know of any of Our communications,he takes it for a jest; these it is that shall have abasingchastisement.
45/10 Before them is hell, and there shall not avail themaught of what they earned, nor those whom they took forguardians besides Allah, and they shall have a grievouspunishment.
45/11 This is guidance; and (as for) those who disbelieve inthe communications of their Lord, they shall have a painfulpunishment on account of uncleanness.
45/12 Allah is He Who made subservient to you the sea that theships may run therein by His command, and that you may seekof His grace, and that you may give thanks.
45/13 And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in theheavens and whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself;most surely there are signs in this for a people whoreflect.
45/14 Say to those who believe (that) they forgive those whodo not fear the days of Allah that He may reward a peoplefor what they earn.
45/15 Whoever does good, it is for his own soul, and whoeverdoes evil, it is against himself; then you shall be broughtback to your-- Lord.
45/16 And certainly We gave the Book and the wisdom and theprophecy to the children of Israel, and We gave them of thegoodly things, and We made them excel the nations.
45/17 And We gave them clear arguments in the affair, but theydid not differ until after knowledge had come to them out ofenvy among themselves; surely your -Lord will judge betweenthem on the day of resurrection concerning that wherein theydiffered.
45/18 Then We have made you follow a course in the affair,therefore follow it, and do not follow the low desires ofthose who do not know.
45/19 Surely they shall not avail you in the least againstAllah; and surely the unjust are friends of each other, andAllah is the guardian of those who guard (against evil).
45/20 These are clear proofs for men, and a guidance and amercy for a people who are sure.
45/21 Nay! do those who have wrought evil deeds think that Wewill make them like those who believe and do good-- that theirlife and their death shall be equal? Evil it is that theyjudge.
45/22 And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truthand that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earnedand they shall not be wronged.
45/23 Have you then considered him who takes his low desirefor his god, and Allah has made him err having knowledge andhas set a seal upon his ear and his heart and put a coveringupon his eye. Who can then guide him after Allah? Will younot then be mindful?
45/24 And they say: There is nothing but our life in thisworld; we live and die and nothing destroys us but time, andthey have no knowledge of that; they only conjecture.
45/25 And when Our clear communications are recited to them,their argument is no other than that they say: Bring ourfathers (back) if you are truthful.
45/26 Say: Allah gives you life, then He makes you die, thenwill He gather you to the day of resurrection wherein is nodoubt, but most people do not know.
45/27 And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth;and on the day when the hour shall come to pass, on that dayshall they perish who say false things.
45/28 And you shall see every nation kneeling down; everynation shall be called to its book: today you shall berewarded for what you did.
45/29 This is Our book that speaks against you with justice;surely We wrote what you did,
45/30 Then as to those who believed and did good, their Lordwill make them enter into His mercy; that is the manifestachievement.
45/31 As to those who disbelieved: What! were not Mycommunications recited to you? But you were proud and youwere a guilty people.
45/32 And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah istrue and as for the hour, there is no doubt about it, yousaid: We do not know what the hour is; we do not think (thatit will come to pass) save a passing thought, and we are notat all sure.
45/33 And the evil (consequences) of what they did shallbecome manifest to them and that which they mocked shallencompass them.
45/34 And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as youneglected the meeting of this day of yours and your abode isthe fire, and there are not for you any helpers:
45/35 That is because you took the communications of Allah fora jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on thatday they shall not be brought forth from it, nor shall theybe granted goodwill.
45/36 Therefore to Allah is due (all) praise, the Lord of theheavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the worlds.
45/37 And to Him belongs greatness in the heavens and theearth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
46/1 Ha Mim.
46/2 The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, theWise.
46/3 We did not create the heavens and the earth and what isbetween them two save with truth and (for) an appointedterm; and those who disbelieve turn aside from what they arewarned of.
46/4 Say: Have you considered what you call upon besidesAllah? Show me what they have created of the earth, or havethey a share in the heavens? Bring me a book before this ortraces of knowledge, if you are truthful.
46/5 And who is in greater error than he who calls besidesAllah upon those that will not answer him till the day ofresurrection and they are heedless of their call?
46/6 And when men are gathered together they shall be theirenemies, and shall be deniers of their worshipping (them).
46/7 And when Our clear communications are recited to them,those who disbelieve say with regard to the truth when itcomes to them: This is clear magic.
46/8 Nay! they say: He has forged it. Say: If I have forgedit, you do not control anything for me from Allah; He knowsbest what you utter concerning it; He is enough as a witnessbetween me and you, and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
46/9 Say: I am not the first of the messengers, and I do notknow what will be done with me or with you: I do not followanything but that which is revealed to me, and I am nothingbut a plain warner.
46/10 Say: Have you considered if it is from Allah, and youdisbelieve in it, and a witness from among the children ofIsrael has borne witness of one like it, so he believed,while you are big with pride; surely Allah does not guidethe unjust people.
46/11 And those who disbelieve say concerning those whobelieve: If it had been a good, they would not have goneahead of us therein. And as they do not seek to be rightlydirected thereby, they say: It is an old lie.
46/12 And before it the Book of Musa was a guide and a mercy:and this is a Book verifying (it) in the Arabic languagethat it may warn those who are unjust and as good news forthe doers of good.
46/13 Surely those who say, Our Lord is Allah, then theycontinue on the right way, they shall have no fear nor shallthey grieve.
46/14 These are the dwellers of the garden, abiding therein: areward for what they did.
46/15 And We have enjoined on man doing of good to hisparents; with trouble did his mother bear him and withtrouble did she bring him forth; and the bearing of him andthe weaning of him was thirty months; until when he attainshis maturity and reaches forty years, he says: My Lord!grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thouhast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may dogood which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect of myoffspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of thosewho submit.
46/16 These are they from whom We accept the best of what theyhave done and pass over their evil deeds, among the dwellersof the garden; the promise of truth which they werepromised.
46/17 And he who says to his parents: Fie on you! do youthreaten me that I shall be brought forth when generationshave already passed away before me? And they both call forAllah's aid: Woe to you! believe, surely the promise ofAllah is true. But he says: This is nothing but stories ofthe ancients.
46/18 These are they against whom the word has proved trueamong nations of the jinn and the men that have alreadypassed away before them; surely they are losers.
46/19 And for all are degrees according to what they did, andthat He may pay them back fully their deeds and they shallnot be wronged.
46/20 And on the day when those who disbelieve shall bebrought before the fire: You did away with your good thingsin your life of the world and you enjoyed them for a while,so today you shall be rewarded with the punishment ofabasement because you were unjustly proud in the land andbecause you transgressed.
46/21 And mention the brother of Ad; when he warned his peoplein the sandy plains,-- and indeed warners came before him andafter him-- saying Serve none but Allah; surely I fear for youthe punishment of a grievous day.
46/22 They said: Have you come to us to turn us away from ourgods; then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are ofthe truthful ones.
46/23 He said: The knowledge is only with Allah, and I deliverto you the message with which I am sent, but I see you are apeople who are ignorant.
46/24 So when they saw it as a cloud appearing in the skyadvancing towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloudwhich will give us rain. Nay! it is what you sought tohasten on, a blast of wind in which is a painful punishment,
46/25 Destroying everything by the command of its Lord, sothey became such that naught could be seen except theirdwellings. Thus do We reward the guilty people.
46/26 And certainly We had established them in what We havenot established you in, and We had given-- them ears and eyesand hearts, but neither their ears, nor their eyes, northeir hearts availed them aught, since they denied thecommunications of Allah, and that which they mockedencompassed them.
46/27 And certainly We destroyed the towns which are aroundyou, and We repeat the communications that they might turn.
46/28 Why did not then those help them whom they took for godsbesides Allah to draw (them) nigh (to Him)? Nay! they werelost to them; and this was their lie and what they forged.
46/29 And when We turned towards you a party of the jinn wholistened to the Quran; so when they came to it, they said:Be silent; then when it was finished, they turned back totheir people warning (them).
46/30 They said: O our people! we have listened to a Bookrevealed after Musa verifying that which is before it,guiding to the truth and to a right path:
46/31 O our people! accept the Divine caller and believe inHim, He will forgive you of your faults and protect you froma painful punishment.
46/32 And whoever does not accept the-Divine caller, he shallnot escape in the earth and he shall not have guardiansbesides Him, these are in manifest error.
46/33 Have they not considered that Allah, Who created theheavens and the earth and was not tired by their creation,is able to give life to the dead? Aye! He has surely powerover all things.
46/34 And on the day when those who disbelieve shall bebrought before the fire: Is it not true? They shall say:Aye! by our Lord! He will say: Then taste the punishment,because you disbelieved.
46/35 Therefore bear up patiently as did the messengers endowedwith constancy bear up with patience and do not seek tohasten for them (their doom). On the day that they shall seewhat they are promised they shall be as if they had nottarried save an hour of the day. A sufficient exposition!Shall then any be destroyed save the transgressing people?
47/1 (As for) those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah'sway, He shall render their works ineffective.
47/2 And (as for) those who believe and do good, and believein what has been revealed to Muhammad, and it is the verytruth from their Lord, He will remove their evil from themand improve their condition.
47/3 That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood,and have given them their dowries, taking (them) inmarriage, not fornicating nor taking them for paramours insecret; and whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of noaccount, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.
47/4 So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, thensmite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make(them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as afavor or let them ransom (themselves) until the warterminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased Hewould certainly have exacted what is due from them, but thatHe may try some of you by means of others; and (as for)those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no meansallow their deeds to perish.
47/5 He will guide them and improve their condition.
47/6 And cause them to enter the garden which He has madeknown to them.
47/7 O you who believe ! if you help (the cause of) Allah, Hewill help you and make firm your feet.
47/8 And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them isdestruction and He has made their deeds ineffective.
47/9 That is because they hated what Allah revealed, so Herendered their deeds null.
47/10 Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen howwas the end of those before them: Allah brought downdestruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have thelike of it.
47/11 That is because Allah is the Protector of those whobelieve, and because the unbelievers shall have no protectorfor them.
47/12 Surely Allah will make those who believe and do goodenter gardens beneath which rivers flow; and those whodisbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as the beasts eat, andthe fire is their abode.
47/13 And how many a town which was far more powerful than thetown of yours which has driven you out: We destroyed them sothere was no helper for them.
47/14 What! is he who has a clear argument from his Lord likehim to whom the evil of his work is made fairseeming: andthey follow their low desires.
47/15 A parable of the garden which those guarding (againstevil) are promised: Therein are rivers of water that doesnot alter, and rivers of milk the taste whereof does notchange, and rivers of drink delicious to those who drink,and rivers of honey clarified and for them therein are allfruits and protection from their Lord. (Are these) likethose who abide in the fire and who are made to drinkboiling water so it rends their bowels asunder.
47/16 And there are those of them who seek to listen to you,until when they go forth from you, they say to those whohave been given the knowledge: What was it that he said justnow? These are they upon whose hearts Allah has set a sealand they follow their low desires.
47/17 And (as for) those who follow the right direction, Heincreases them in guidance and gives them their guarding(against evil).
47/18 Do they then wait for aught but the hour that it shouldcome to them all of a sudden? Now indeed the tokens of ithave (already) come, but how shall they have their reminderwhen it comes on them?
47/19 So know that there is no god but Allah, and, askprotection for your fault and for the believing men and thebelieving women; and Allah knows the place of your returningand the place of your abiding.
47/20 And those who believe say: Why has not a chapter beenrevealed? But when a decisive chapter is revealed, andfighting is mentioned therein you see those in whose heartsis a disease look to you with the look of one faintingbecause of death. Woe to them then!
47/21 Obedience and a gentle word (was proper); but when theaffair becomes settled, then if they remain true to Allah itwould certainly be better for them.
47/22 But if you held command, you were sure to make mischiefin the land and cut off the ties of kinship!
47/23 Those it is whom Allah has cursed so He has made themdeaf and blinded their eyes.
47/24 Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Nay, on thehearts there are locks.
47/25 Surely (as for) those who return on their backs afterthat guidance has become manifest to them, the Shaitan hasmade it a light matter to them; and He gives them respite.
47/26 That is because they say to those who hate what Allahhas revealed: We will obey you in some of the affairs; andAllah knows their secrets.
47/27 But how will it be when the angels cause them to diesmiting their backs.
47/28 That is because they follow what is displeasing to Allahand are averse to His pleasure, therefore He has made nulltheir deeds.
47/29 Or do those in whose hearts is a disease think thatAllah will not bring forth their spite?
47/30 And if We please We would have made you know them sothat you would certainly have recognized them by their marksand most certainly you can recognize them by the intent of(their) speech; and Allah knows your deeds.
47/31 And most certainly We will try you until We have knownthose among you who exert themselves hard, and the patient,and made your case manifest.
47/32 Surely those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah'sway and oppose the Messenger after that guidance has becomeclear to them cannot harm Allah in any way, and He will makenull their deeds.
47/33 O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger, anddo not make your deeds of no effect.
47/34 Surely those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah'sway, then they die while they are unbelievers, Allah will byno means forgive them.
47/35 And be not slack so as to cry for peace and you have theupper hand, and Allah is with you, and He will not bringyour deeds to naught.
47/36 The life of this world is only idle sport and play, andif you believe and guard (against evil) He will give youyour rewards, and will not ask of you your possessions.
47/37 If He should ask you for it and urge you, you will beniggardly, and He will bring forth your malice.
47/38 Behold! you are those who are called upon to spend inAllah's way, but among you are those who are niggardly, andwhoever is niggardly is niggardly against his own soul; andAllah is Self-sufficient and you have need (of Him), and ifyou turn back He will bring in your place another people,then they will not be like you.
48/1 Surely We have given to you a clear victory
48/2 That Allah may forgive your community their past faultsand those to follow and complete His favor to you and keepyou on a right way,
48/3 And that Allah might help you with a mighty help.
48/4 He it is Who sent down tranquillity into the hearts ofthe believers that they might have more of faith added totheir faith-- and Allah's are the hosts of the heavens andthe earth, and Allah is Knowing, Wise--
48/5 That He may cause the believing men and the believingwomen to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow to abidetherein and remove from them their evil; and that is a grandachievement with Allah
48/6 And (that) He may punish the hypocritical men and thehypocritical women, and the polytheistic men and thepolytheistic women, the entertainers of evil thoughts aboutAllah. On them is the evil turn, and Allah is wroth withthem and has cursed them and prepared hell for them, andevil is the resort.
48/7 And Allah's are the hosts of the heavens and the earth;and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
48/8 Surely We have sent you as a witness and as a bearer ofgood news and as a warner,
48/9 That you may believe in Allah and His Messenger and may aidhim and revere him; and (that) you may declare His glory,morning and evening.
48/10 Surely those who swear allegiance to you do but swearallegiance to Allah; the hand of Allah is above their hands.Therefore whoever breaks (his faith), he breaks it only tothe injury of his own soul, and whoever fulfills what he hascovenanted with Allah, He will grant him a mighty reward.
48/11 Those of the dwellers of the desert who were left behindwill say to you: Our property and our families kept us busy,so ask forgiveness for us. They say with their tongues whatis not in their hearts. Say: Then who can control anythingfor you from Allah if He intends to do you harm or if Heintends to do you good; nay, Allah is Aware of what you do:
48/12 Nay! you rather thought that the Messenger and thebelievers would not return to their families ever, and thatwas made fairseeming to your hearts and you thought an evilthought and you were a people doomed to perish.
48/13 And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Messenger,then surely We have prepared burning fire for theunbelievers.
48/14 And Allah's is the kingdom. of the heavens and theearth; He forgives whom He pleases and punishes whom Hepleases, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
48/15 Those who are left behind will say when you set forthfor the gaining of acquisitions: Allow us (that) we mayfollow you. They desire to change the world of Allah. Say:By no means shall you follow us; thus did Allah say before.But they will say: Nay! you are jealous of us. Nay! they donot understand but a little.
48/16 Say to those of the dwellers of the desert who were leftbehind: You shall soon be invited (to fight) against apeople possessing mighty prowess; you will fight againstthem until they submit; then if you obey, Allah will grantyou a good reward; and if you turn back as you turned backbefore, He will punish you with a painful punishment.
48/17 There is no harm in the blind, nor is there any harm inthe lame, nor is there any harm in the sick (if they do notgo forth); and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He willcause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, andwhoever turns back, He will punish him with a painfulpunishment.
48/18 Certainly Allah was well pleased with the believers whenthey swore allegiance to you under the tree, and He knewwhat was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity onthem and rewarded them with a near victory,
48/19 And many acquisitions which they will take; and Allah isMighty, Wise.
48/20 Allah promised you many acquisitions which you willtake, then He hastened on this one for you and held back thehands of men from you, and that it may be a sign for thebelievers and that He may guide you on a right path.
48/21 And others which you have not yet been able to achieveAllah has surely encompassed them, and Allah has power overall things.
48/22 And if those who disbelieve fight with you, they wouldcertainly turn (their) backs, then they would not find anyprotector or a helper.
48/23 Such has been the course of Allah that has indeed runbefore, and you shall not find a change in Allah's course.
48/24 And He it is Who held back their hands from you and yourhands from them in the valley of Mecca after He had givenyou victory over them; and Allah is Seeing what you do.
48/25 It is they who disbelieved and turned you away from theSacred Mosque and (turned off) the offering withheld fromarriving at its destined place; and were it not for thebelieving men and the believing women, whom, not havingknown, you might have trodden down, and thus somethinghateful might have afflicted you on their account withoutknowledge-- so that Allah may cause to enter into His mercywhomsoever He pleases; had they been widely separated onefrom another, We would surely have punished those whodisbelieved from among them with a painful punishment.
48/26 When those who disbelieved harbored in their hearts(feelings of) disdain, the disdain of (the days of)ignorance, but Allah sent down His tranquillity on HisMessenger and on the believers, and made them keep the word ofguarding (against evil), and they were entitled to it andworthy of it; and Allah is Cognizant of all things.
48/27 Certainly Allah had shown to His Messenger the vision withtruth: you shall most certainly enter the Sacred Mosque, ifAllah pleases, in security, (some) having their heads shavedand (others) having their hair cut, you shall not fear, butHe knows what you do not know, so He brought about a nearvictory before that.
48/28 He it is Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and thetrue religion that He may make it prevail over all thereligions; and Allah is enough for a witness.
48/29 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those with him arefirm of heart against the unbelievers, compassionate amongthemselves; you will see them bowing down, prostratingthemselves, seeking grace from Allah and pleasure; theirmarks are in their faces because of the effect ofprostration; that is their description in the Taurat andtheir description in the Injeel; like as seed-produce thatputs forth its sprout, then strengthens it, so it becomesstout and stands firmly on its stem, delighting the sowersthat He may enrage the unbelievers on account of them; Allahhas promised those among them who believe and do good,forgiveness and a great reward.
49/1 O you who believe! be not forward in the presence ofAllah and His Messenger, and be careful of (your duty to)Allah; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
49/2 O you who believe! do not raise your voices above thevoice of the Prophet, and do not speak loud to him as youspeak loud to one another, lest your deeds became null whileyou do not perceive.
49/3 Surely those who lower their voices before Allah'sMessenger are they whose hearts Allah has proved for guarding(against evil); they shall have forgiveness and a greatreward.
49/4 (As for) those who call out to you from behind theprivate chambers, surely most of them do not understand.
49/5 And if they wait patiently until you come out to them, itwould certainly be better for them, and Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.
49/6 O you who believe! if an evil-doer comes to you with areport, look carefully into it, lest you harm a people inignorance, then be sorry for what you have done.
49/7 And know that among you is Allah's Messenger; should heobey you in many a matter, you would surely fall intodistress, but Allah has endeared the faith to you and hasmade it seemly in your hearts, and He has made hateful toyou unbelief and transgression and disobedience; these it isthat are the followers of a right way.
49/8 By grace from Allah and as a favor; and Allah is Knowing,Wise.
49/9 And if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peacebetween them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards theother, fight that which acts wrongfully until it returns toAllah's command; then if it returns, make peace between themwith justice and act equitably; surely Allah loves those whoact equitably.
49/10 The believers are but brethren, therefore make peacebetween your brethren and be careful of (your duty to) Allahthat mercy may be had on you.
49/11 O you who believe! let not (one) people laugh at(another) people perchance they may be better than they, norlet women (laugh) at (other) women, perchance they may bebetter than they; and do not find fault with your own peoplenor call one another by nicknames; evil is a bad name afterfaith, and whoever does not turn, these it is that are theunjust.
49/12 O you who believe! avoid most of suspicion, for surelysuspicion in some cases is a sin, and do not spy nor letsome of you backbite others. Does one of you like to eat theflesh of his dead brother? But you abhor it; and be carefulof (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah is Oft-returning (tomercy), Merciful.
49/13 O you men! surely We have created you of a male and afemale, and made you tribes and families that you may knoweach other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah isthe one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allahis Knowing, Aware.
49/14 The dwellers of the desert say: We believe. Say: You donot believe but say, We submit; and faith has not yetentered into your hearts; and if you obey Allah and HisMessenger, He will not diminish aught of your deeds; surelyAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
49/15 The believers are only those who believe in Allah andHis Messenger then they doubt not and struggle hard with theirwealth and their lives in the way of Allah; they are thetruthful ones.
49/16 Say: Do you apprise Allah of your religion, and Allahknows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; andAllah is Cognizant of all things.
49/17 They think that they lay you under an obligation bybecoming Muslims. Say: Lay me not under obligation by yourIslam: rather Allah lays you under an obligation by guidingyou to the faith if you are truthful.
49/18 Surely Allah knows the unseen things of the heavens andthe earth; and Allah sees what you do.
50/1 Qaf. I swear by the glorious Quran (that Muhammad is theMessenger of Allah)
50/2 Nay! they wonder that there has come to them a warnerfrom among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is awonderful thing:
50/3 What! when we are dead and have become dust? That is afar(from probable) return.
50/4 We know indeed what the earth diminishes of them, andwith Us is a writing that preserves.
50/5 Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, sothey are (now) in a state of confusion.
50/6 Do they not then look up to heaven above them how We havemade it and adorned it and it has no gaps?
50/7 And the earth, We have made it plain and cast in itmountains and We have made to grow therein of all beautifulkinds,
50/8 To give sight and as a reminder to every servant whoturns frequently (to Allah).
50/9 And We send down from the cloud water abounding in good,then We cause to grow thereby gardens and the grain that isreaped,
50/10 And the tall palm-trees having spadices closely set oneabove another,
50/11 A sustenance for the servants, and We give life therebyto a dead land; thus is the rising.
50/12 (Others) before them rejected (prophets): the people ofNuh and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood,
50/13 And Ad and Firon and Lut's brethren,
50/14 And the dwellers of the grove and the people of Tuba;all rejected the messengers, so My threat came to pass.
50/15 Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet arethey in doubt with regard to a new creation.
50/16 And certainly We created man, and We know what his mindsuggests to him, and We are nearer to him than hislife-vein.
50/17 When the two receivers receive, sitting on the right andon the left.
50/18 He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher athand.
50/19 And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is whatyou were trying to escape.
50/20 And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of thethreatening.
50/21 And every soul shall come, with it a driver and awitness.
50/22 Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We haveremoved from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp.
50/23 And his companions shall say: This is what is ready withme.
50/24 Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one,
50/25 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter,
50/26 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him intosevere chastisement.
50/27 His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead himinto inordinacy but he himself was in a great error.
50/28 He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed Igave you the threatening beforehand:
50/29 My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the leastunjust to the servants.
50/30 On the day that We will say to hell: Are you filled up?And it will say: Are there any more?
50/31 And the garden shall be brought near to those who guard(against evil), not far off:
50/32 This is what you were promised, (it is) for every onewho turns frequently (to Allah), keeps (His limits);
50/33 Who fears the Beneficent Allah in secret and comes with apenitent heart:
50/34 Enter it in peace, that is the day of abiding.
50/35 They have therein what they wish and with Us is moreyet.
50/36 And how many a generation did We destroy before them whowere mightier in prowess than they, so they went about andabout in the lands. Is there a place of refuge?
50/37 Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who hasa heart or he gives ear and is a witness.
50/38 And certainly We created the heavens and the earth andwhat is between them in six periods and there touched Us notany fatigue.
50/39 Therefore be patient of what they say, and sing thepraise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and beforethe setting.
50/40 And glorify Him in the night and after the prayers.
50/41 And listen on the day when the crier shall cry from anear place
50/42 The day when they shall hear the cry in truth; that isthe day of coming forth.
50/43 Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is theeventual coming;
50/44 The day on which the earth shall cleave asunder underthem, they will make haste; that is a gathering togethereasy to Us.
50/45 We know best what they say, and you are not one tocompel them; therefore remind him by means of the Quran whofears My threat.
51/1 I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,
51/2 Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things inspace).
51/3 Then those (ships) that glide easily,
51/4 Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Ourcommand;
51/5 What you are threatened with is most surely true,
51/6 And the judgment must most surely come about.
51/7 I swear by the heaven full of ways.
51/8 Most surely you are at variance with each other in whatyou say,
51/9 He is turned away from it who would be turned away.
51/10 Cursed be the liars,
51/11 Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;
51/12 They ask: When is the day of judgment?
51/13 (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at thefire.
51/14 Taste your persecution! this is what you would hastenon.
51/15 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be ingardens and fountains.
51/16 Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they werebefore that, the doers of good.
51/17 They used to sleep but little in the night.
51/18 And in the morning they asked forgiveness.
51/19 And in their property was a portion due to him who begsand to him who is denied (good).
51/20 And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,
51/21 And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?
51/22 And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you arethreatened with.
51/23 And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is mostsurely the truth, just as you do speak.
51/24 Has there come to you information about the honoredguests of Ibrahim?
51/25 When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace,said he, a strange people.
51/26 Then he turned aside to his family secretly and broughta fat (roasted) calf,
51/27 So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you noteat?
51/28 So he conceived in his mind a fear on account of them.They said: Fear not. And they gave him the good news of aboy possessing knowledge.
51/29 Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck herface and said: An old barren woman!
51/30 They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise,the Knowing.
51/31 He said: What is your affair then, O messengers!
51/32 They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people,
51/33 That we may send down upon them stone of clay,
51/34 Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.
51/35 Then We brought forth such as were therein of thebelievers.
51/36 But We did not find therein save a (single) house ofthose who submitted (the Muslims).
51/37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear thepainful punishment.
51/38 And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clearauthority.
51/39 But he turned away with his forces and said: A magicianor a mad man.
51/40 So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into thesea and he was blamable.
51/41 And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.
51/42 It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made itlike ashes.
51/43 And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoyyourselves for a while.
51/44 But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord,so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.
51/45 So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defendthemselves-
51/46 And the people of Nuh before, surely they were atransgressing people.
51/47 And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and mostsurely We are the makers of things ample.
51/48 And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how wellhave We then spread (it) out.
51/49 And of everything We have created pairs that you may bemindful.
51/50 Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner toyou from Him.
51/51 And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am aplain warner to you from Him.
51/52 Thus there did not come to those before them a messengerbut they said: A magician or a mad man.
51/53 Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are aninordinate people.
51/54 Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;
51/55 And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profitsthe believers.
51/56 And I have not created the jinn and the men except thatthey should serve Me.
51/57 I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do notdesire that they should feed Me.
51/58 Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord ofPower, the Strong.
51/59 So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion likethe portion of their companions, therefore let them not askMe to hasten on.
51/60 Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of theirday which they are threatened with.
52/1 I swear by the Mountain,
52/2 And the Book written
52/3 In an outstretched fine parchment,
52/4 And the House (Kaaba) that is visited,
52/5 And the elevated canopy
52/6 And the swollen sea
52/7 Most surely the punishment of your Lord will come topass;
52/8 There shall be none to avert it;
52/9 On the day when the heaven shall move from side to side
52/10 And the mountains shall pass away passing away(altogether).
52/11 So woe on that day to those who reject (the truth),
52/12 Those who sport entering into vain discourses.
52/13 The day on which they shall be driven away to the fireof hell with violence.
52/14 This is the fire which you used to give the lie to.
52/15 Is it magic then or do you not see?
52/16 Enter into it, then bear (it) patiently, or do not bear(it) patiently, it is the same to you; you shall be requitedonly (for) what you did.
52/17 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be ingardens and bliss
52/18 Rejoicing because of what their Lord gave them, andtheir Lord saved them from the punishment of the burningfire.
52/19 Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did,
52/20 Reclining on thrones set in lines, and We will unitethem to large-eyed beautiful ones.
52/21 And (as for) those who believe and their offspringfollow them in faith, We will unite with them theiroffspring and We will not diminish to them aught of theirwork; every man is responsible for what he shall havewrought.
52/22 And We will aid them with fruit and flesh such as theydesire.
52/23 They shall pass therein from one to another a cupwherein there shall be nothing vain nor any sin.
52/24 And round them shall go boys of theirs as if they werehidden pearls.
52/25 And some of them shall advance towards othersquestioning each other.
52/26 Saying: Surely we feared before on account of ourfamilies:
52/27 But Allah has been gracious to us and He has saved usfrom the punishment of the hot wind:
52/28 Surely we called upon Him before: Surely He is theBenign, the Merciful.
52/29 Therefore continue to remind, for by the grace of yourLord, you are not a soothsayer, or a madman.
52/30 Or do they say: A poet, we wait for him the evilaccidents of time.
52/31 Say: Wait, for surely I too with you am of those whowait.
52/32 Nay! do their understandings bid them this? Or are theyan inordinate people?
52/33 Or do they say: He has forged it. Nay! they do notbelieve.
52/34 Then let them bring an announcement like it if they aretruthful.
52/35 Or were they created without there being anything, orare they the creators?
52/36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay! theyhave no certainty.
52/37 Or have they the treasures of your Lord with them? Orhave they been set in absolute authority?
52/38 Or have they the means by which they listen? Then lettheir listener bring a clear authority.
52/39 Or has He daughters while you have sons?
52/40 Or do you ask them for a reward, so that they areoverburdened by a debt?
52/41 Or have they the unseen so that they write (it) down?
52/42 Or do they desire a war? But those who disbelieve shallbe the vanquished ones in war.
52/43 Or have they a god other than Allah? Glory be to Allahfrom what they set up (with Him).
52/44 And if they should see a portion of the heaven comingdown, they would say: Piled up clouds.
52/45 Leave them then till they meet that day of theirswherein they shall be made to swoon (with terror):
52/46 The day on which their struggle shall not avail themaught, nor shall they be helped.
52/47 And surely those who are unjust shall have a punishmentbesides that (in the world), but most of them do not know.
52/48 And wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, forsurely you are before Our eyes, and sing the praise of yourLord when you rise;
52/49 And in the night, give Him glory too, and at the settingof the stars.
53/1 I swear by the star when it goes down.
53/2 Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray;
53/3 Nor does he speak out of desire.
53/4 It is naught but revelation that is revealed,
53/5 The Lord of Mighty Power has taught him,
53/6 The Lord of Strength; so he attained completion,
53/7 And he is in the highest part of the horizon.
53/8 Then he drew near, then he bowed
53/9 So he was the measure of two bows or closer still.
53/10 And He revealed to His servant what He revealed.
53/11 The heart was not untrue in (making him see) what hesaw.
53/12 What! do you then dispute with him as to what he saw?
53/13 And certainly he saw him in another descent,
53/14 At the farthest lote-tree;
53/15 Near which is the garden, the place to be resorted to.
53/16 When that which covers covered the lote-tree;
53/17 The eye did not turn aside, nor did it exceed the limit.
53/18 Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
53/19 Have you then considered the Lat and the Uzza,
53/20 And Manat, the third, the last?
53/21 What! for you the males and for Him the females!
53/22 This indeed is an unjust division!
53/23 They are naught but names which you have named, you andyour fathers; Allah has not sent for them any authority.They follow naught but conjecture and the low desires which(their) souls incline to; and certainly the guidance hascome to them from their Lord.
53/24 Or shall man have what he wishes?
53/25 Nay! for Allah is the hereafter and the former (life).
53/26 And how many an angel is there in the heavens whoseintercession does not avail at all except after Allah hasgiven permission to whom He pleases and chooses.
53/27 Most surely they who do not believe in the hereaftername the angels with female names.
53/28 And they have no knowledge of it; they do not followanything but conjecture, and surely conjecture does notavail against the truth at all.
53/29 Therefore turn aside from him who turns his back uponOur reminder and does not desire anything but this world'slife.
53/30 That is their goal of knowledge; surely your Lord knowsbest him who goes astray from His path and He knows best himwho follows the right direction.
53/31 And Allah's is what is in the heavens and what is in theearth, that He may reward those who do evil according towhat they do, and (that) He may reward those who do goodwith goodness.
53/32 Those who keep aloof from the great sins and theindecencies but the passing idea; surely your Lord isliberal in forgiving. He knows you best when He brings youforth from the earth and when you are embryos in the wombsof your mothers; therefore do not attribute purity to yoursouls; He knows him best who guards (against evil).
53/33 Have you then seen him who turns his back?
53/34 And gives a little and (then) withholds.
53/35 Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see?
53/36 Or, has he not been informed of what is in thescriptures of Musa?
53/37 And (of) Ibrahim who fulfilled (the commandments):
53/38 That no bearer of burden shall bear the burden ofanother-
53/39 And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for-
53/40 And that his striving shall soon be seen-
53/41 Then shall he be rewarded for it with the fullestreward-
53/42 And that to your Lord is the goal-
53/43 And that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them)weep;
53/44 And that He it is Who causes death and gives life-
53/45 And that He created pairs, the male and the female
53/46 From the small seed when it is adapted
53/47 And that on Him is the bringing forth a second time;
53/48 And that He it is Who enriches and gives to hold;
53/49 And that He is the Lord of the Sirius;
53/50 And that He did destroy the Ad of old
53/51 And Samood, so He spared not
53/52 And the people of Nuh before; surely they were mostunjust and inordinate;
53/53 And the overthrown cities did He overthrow,
53/54 So there covered them that which covered.
53/55 Which of your Lord's benefits will you then disputeabout?
53/56 This is a warner of the warners of old.
53/57 The near event draws nigh.
53/58 There shall be none besides Allah to remove it.
53/59 Do you then wonder at this announcement?
53/60 And will you laugh and not weep?
53/61 While you are indulging in varieties.
53/62 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him).
54/1 The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
54/2 And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say:Transient magic.
54/3 And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires;and every affair has its appointed term.
54/4 And certainly some narratives have come to them whereinis prevention--
54/5 Consummate wisdom-- but warnings do not avail;
54/6 So turn (your) back on them (for) the day when theinviter shall invite them to a hard task,
54/7 Their eyes cast down, going forth from their graves as ifthey were scattered locusts,
54/8 Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: Thisis a hard day.
54/9 Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejectedOur servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away.
54/10 Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, comeThou then to help.
54/11 So We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring
54/12 And We made water to flow forth in the land in springs,so the water gathered together according to a measurealready ordained.
54/13 And We bore him on that which was made of planks andnails
54/14 Sailing, before Our eyes, a reward for him who wasdenied.
54/15 And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyonewho
54/16 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
54/17 And certainly We have made the Quran easy forremembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
54/18 Ad treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was Mypunishment and My warning!
54/19 Surely We sent on them a tornado in a day of bitterill-luck
54/20 Tearing men away as if they were the trunks ofpalm-trees torn up.
54/21 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
54/22 And certainly We have made the Quran easy forremembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
54/23 Samood rejected the warning.
54/24 So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shallwe follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sureerror and distress:
54/25 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from amongus? Nay! he is an insolent liar!
54/26 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolentone.
54/27 Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial forthem; therefore watch them and have patience.
54/28 And inform them that the water is shared between them;every share of the water shall be regulated.
54/29 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword)and slew (her).
54/30 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
54/31 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were likethe dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosurecollects.
54/32 And certainly We have made the Quran easy forremembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
54/33 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie.
54/34 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut'sfollowers; We saved them a little before daybreak,
54/35 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks.
54/36 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, butthey obstinately disputed the warning.
54/37 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from hisguests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisementand My warning.
54/38 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them inthe morning.
54/39 So taste My chastisement and My warning.
54/40 And certainly We have made the Quran easy forremembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
54/41 And certainly the warning came to Firon's people.
54/42 They rejected all Our communications, so We overtookthem after the manner of a Mighty, Powerful One.
54/43 Are the unbelievers of yours better than these, or isthere an exemption for you in the scriptures?
54/44 Or do they say: We are a host allied together to helpeach other?
54/45 Soon shall the hosts be routed, and they shall turn(their) backs.
54/46 Nay, the hour is their promised time, and the hour shallbe most grievous and bitter.
54/47 Surely the guilty are in error and distress.
54/48 On the day when they shall be dragged upon their facesinto the fire; taste the touch of hell.
54/49 Surely We have created everything according to ameasure.
54/50 And Our command is but one, as the twinkling of an eye.
54/51 And certainly We have already destroyed the likes ofyou, but is there anyone who will mind?
54/52 And everything they have done is in the writings.
54/53 And everything small and great is written down.
54/54 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be ingardens and rivers,
54/55 In the seat of honor with a most Powerful King.
55/1 The Beneficent Allah,
55/2 Taught the Quran.
55/3 He created man,
55/4 Taught him the mode of expression.
55/5 The sun and the moon follow a reckoning.
55/6 And the herbs and the trees do prostrate (to Him).
55/7 And the heaven, He raised it high, and He made thebalance
55/8 That you may not be inordinate in respect of the measure.
55/9 And keep up the balance with equity and do not make themeasure deficient.
55/10 And the earth, He has set it for living creatures;
55/11 Therein is fruit and palms having sheathed clusters,
55/12 And the grain with (its) husk and fragrance.
55/13 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/14 He created man from dry clay like earthen vessels,
55/15 And He created the jinn of a flame of fire.
55/16 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/17 Lord of the East and Lord of the West.
55/18 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/19 He has made the two seas to flow freely (so that) theymeet together:
55/20 Between them is a barrier which they cannot pass.
55/21 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/22 There come forth from them pearls, both large and small.
55/23 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/24 And His are the ships reared aloft in the sea likemountains.
55/25 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/26 Everyone on it must pass away.
55/27 And there will endure for ever the person of your Lord,the Lord of glory and honor.
55/28 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/29 All those who are in the heavens and the earth ask ofHim; every moment He is in a state (of glory).
55/30 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/31 Soon will We apply Ourselves to you, O you two armies.
55/32 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/33 O assembly of the jinn and the men! If you are able topass through the regions of the heavens and the earth, thenpass through; you cannot pass through but with authority.
55/34 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/35 The flames of fire and smoke will be sent on you two,then you will not be able to defend yourselves.
55/36 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/37 And when the heaven is rent asunder, and then becomesred like red hide.
55/38 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/39 So on that day neither man nor jinni shall be askedabout his sin.
55/40 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/41 The guilty shall be recognized by their marks, so theyshall be seized by the forelocks and the feet.
55/42 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/43 This is the hell which the guilty called a lie.
55/44 Round about shall they go between it and hot, boilingwater.
55/45 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/46 And for him who fears to stand before his Lord are twogardens.
55/47 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/48 Having in them various kinds.
55/49 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/50 In both of them are two fountains flowing.
55/51 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/52 In both of them are two pairs of every fruit.
55/53 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/54 Reclining on beds, the inner coverings of which are ofsilk brocade; and the fruits of the two gardens shall bewithin reach.
55/55 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/56 In them shall be those who restrained their eyes; beforethem neither man nor jinni shall have touched them.
55/57 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/58 As though they were rubies and pearls.
55/59 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/60 Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?
55/61 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/62 And besides these two are two (other) gardens:
55/63 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/64 Both inclining to blackness.
55/65 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/66 In both of them are two springs gushing forth.
55/67 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/68 In both are fruits and palms and pomegranates.
55/69 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/70 In them are goodly things, beautiful ones.
55/71 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/72 Pure ones confined to the pavilions.
55/73 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/74 Man has not touched them before them nor jinni.
55/75 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/76 Reclining on green cushions and beautiful carpets.
55/77 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?
55/78 Blessed be the name of your Lord, the Lord of Glory andHonor!
56/1 When the great event comes to pass,
56/2 There is no belying its coming to pass--
56/3 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other),
56/4 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking,
56/5 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (anawful) crumbling,
56/6 So that they shall be as scattered dust.
56/7 And you shall be three sorts.
56/8 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happyare the companions of the right hand!
56/9 And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretchedare the companions of the left hand!
56/10 And the foremost are the foremost,
56/11 These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah),
56/12 In the gardens of bliss.
56/13 A numerous company from among the first,
56/14 And a few from among the latter.
56/15 On thrones decorated,
56/16 Reclining on them, facing one another.
56/17 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age,
56/18 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink;
56/19 They shall not be affected with headache thereby, norshall they get exhausted,
56/20 And fruits such as they choose,
56/21 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire.
56/22 And pure, beautiful ones,
56/23 The like of the hidden pearls:
56/24 A reward for what they used to do.
56/25 They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse,
56/26 Except the word peace, peace.
56/27 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are thecompanions of the right hand!
56/28 Amid thornless lote-trees,
56/29 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another.
56/30 And extended shade,
56/31 And water flowing constantly,
56/32 And abundant fruit,
56/33 Neither intercepted nor forbidden,
56/34 And exalted thrones.
56/35 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth,
56/36 Then We have made them virgins,
56/37 Loving, equals in age,
56/38 For the sake of the companions of the right hand.
56/39 A numerous company from among the first,
56/40 And a numerous company from among the last.
56/41 And those of the left hand, how wretched are those ofthe left hand!
56/42 In hot wind and boiling water,
56/43 And the shade of black smoke,
56/44 Neither cool nor honorable.
56/45 Surely they were before that made to live in ease andplenty.
56/46 And they persisted in the great violation.
56/47 And they used to say: What! when we die and have becomedust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised?
56/48 Or our fathers of yore?
56/49 Say: The first and the last,
56/50 Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointedhour of a known day.
56/51 Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie!
56/52 Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom,
56/53 And fill (your) bellies with it;
56/54 Then drink over it of boiling water;
56/55 And drink as drinks the thirsty camel.
56/56 This is their entertainment on the day of requital.
56/57 We have created you, why do you not then assent?
56/58 Have you considered the seed?
56/59 Is it you that create it or are We the creators?
56/60 We have ordained death among you and We are not to beovercome,
56/61 In order that We may bring in your place the likes ofyou and make you grow into what you know not.
56/62 And certainly you know the first growth, why do you notthen mind?
56/63 Have you considered what you sow?
56/64 Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causersof growth?
56/65 If We pleased, We should have certainly made it brokendown into pieces, then would you begin tb lament:
56/66 Surely we are burdened with debt:
56/67 Nay! we are deprived.
56/68 Have you considered the water which you drink?
56/69 Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are Wethe senders?
56/70 If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do younot then give thanks?
56/71 Have you considered the fire which you strike?
56/72 Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We theproducers?
56/73 We have made it a reminder and an advantage for thewayfarers of the desert.
56/74 Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
56/75 But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;
56/76 And most surely it is a very great oath if you onlyknew;
56/77 Most surely it is an honored Quran,
56/78 In a book that is protected
56/79 None shall touch it save the purified ones.
56/80 A revelation by the Lord of the worlds.
56/81 Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?
56/82 And to give (it) the lie you make your means ofsubsistence.
56/83 Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to thethroat,
56/84 And you at that time look on--
56/85 And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see--
56/86 Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority--
56/87 That you send it (not) back-- if you are truthful?
56/88 Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),
56/89 Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss.
56/90 And if he is one of those on the right hand,
56/91 Then peace to you from those on the right hand.
56/92 And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones,
56/93 He shall have an entertainment of boiling water,
56/94 And burning in hell.
56/95 Most surely this is a certain truth.
56/96 Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
57/1 Whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares theglory of Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
57/2 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; He giveslife and causes death; and He has power over all things.
57/3 He is the First and the Last and the Ascendant (over all)and the Knower of hidden things, and He is Cognizant of allthings.
57/4 He it is who created the heavens and the earth in sixperiods, and He is firm in power; He knows that which goesdeep down into the earth and that which comes forth out ofit, and that which comes down from the heaven and that whichgoes up into it, and He is with you wherever you are; andAllah sees what you do.
57/5 His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and toAllah are (all) affairs returned.
57/6 He causes the night to enter in upon the day, and causesthe day to enter in upon the night, and He is Cognizant ofwhat is in the hearts.
57/7 Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend out of whatHe has made you to be successors of; for those of you whobelieve and spend shall have a great reward.
57/8 And what reason have you that you should not believe inAllah? And the Messenger calls on you that you may believe inyour Lord, and indeed He has made a covenant with you if youare believers.
57/9 He it is who sends down clear communications upon Hisservant, that he may bring you forth from utter darknessinto light; and most surely Allah is Kind, Merciful to you.
57/10 And what reason have you that you should not spend inAllah's way? And Allah's is the inheritance of the heavensand the earth, not alike among you are those who spentbefore the victory and fought (and those who did not): theyare more exalted in rank than those who spent and foughtafterwards; and Allah has promised good to all; and Allah isAware of what you do.
57/11 Who is there that will offer to Allah a good gift so Hewill double it for him, and he shall have an excellentreward.
57/12 On that day you will see the faithful men and thefaithful women-- their light running before them and on theirright hand-- good news for you today: gardens beneath whichrivers flow, to abide therein, that is the grandachievement.
57/13 On the day when the hypocritical men and thehypocritical women will say to those who believe: Wait forus, that we may have light from your light; it shall besaid: Turn back and seek a light. Then separation would bebrought about between them, with a wall having a door in it;(as for) the inside of it, there shall be mercy in it, and(as for) the outside of it, before it there shall bepunishment.
57/14 They will cry out to them: Were we not with you? Theyshall say: Yea! but you caused yourselves to fall intotemptation, and you waited and doubted, and vain desiresdeceived you tillthe threatened punishment of Allah came, while thearchdeceiver deceived you about Allah.
57/15 So today ransom shall not be accepted from you nor fromthose who disbelieved; your abode is the fire; it is yourfriend and evil is the resort.
57/16 Has not the time yet come for those who believe thattheir hearts should be humble for the remembrance of Allahand what has come down of the truth? And that they shouldnot be like those who were given the Book before, but thetime became prolonged to them, so their hearts hardened, andmost of them are transgressors.
57/17 Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death;indeed, We have made the communications clear to you thatyou may understand.
57/18 Surely (as for) the charitable men and the charitablewomen and (those who) set apart for Allah a goodly portion,it shall be doubled for them and they shall have a noblereward.
57/19 And (as for) those who believe in Allah and Hismessengers, these it is that are the truthful and the faithfulones in the sight of their Lord: they shall have theirreward and their light, and (as for) those who disbelieveand reject Our communications, these are the inmates of thehell.
57/20 Know that this world's life is only sport and play andgaiety and boasting among yourselves, and a vying in themultiplication of wealth and children, like the rain, whosecausing the vegetation to grow, pleases the husbandmen, thenit withers away so that you will see it become yellow, thenit becomes dried up and broken down; and in the hereafter isa severe chastisement and (also) forgiveness from Allah and(His) pleasure; and this world's life is naught but means ofdeception.
57/21 Hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and to a gardenthe extensiveness of which is as the extensiveness of theheaven and the earth; it is prepared for those who believein Allah and His messengers; that is the grace of Allah: Hegives it to whom He pleases, and Allah is the Lord of mightygrace.
57/22 No evil befalls on the earth nor in your own souls, butit is in a book before We bring it into existence; surelythat is easy to Allah:
57/23 So that you may not grieve for what has escaped you, norbe exultant at what He has given you; and Allah does notlove any arrogant boaster:
57/24 Those who are niggardly and enjoin niggardliness on men;and whoever turns back, then surely Allah is He Who is theSelfsufficient, the Praised.
57/25 Certainly We sent Our messengers with clear arguments, andsent down with them the Book and the balance that men mayconduct themselves with equity; and We have made the iron,wherein is great violence and advantages to men, and thatAllah may know who helps Him and His messengers in the secret;surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.
57/26 And certainly We sent Nuh and Ibrahim and We gave totheir offspring the (gift of) prophecy and the Book; sothere are among them those who go aright, and most of themare transgressors.
57/27 Then We made Our messengers to follow in their footsteps,and We sent Isa son of Marium afterwards, and We gave himthe Injeel, and We put in the hearts of those who followedhim kindness and mercy; and (as for) monkery, they innovatedit-- We did not prescribe it to them-- only to seek Allah'spleasure, but they did not observe it with its dueobservance; so We gave to those of them who believed theirreward, and most of them are transgressors.
57/28 O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allahand believe in His Messenger: He will give you two portions ofHis mercy, and make for you a light with which you willwalk, and forgive you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful;
57/29 So that the followers of the Book may know that they donot control aught of the grace of Allah, and that grace is inAllah's hand, He gives it to whom He pleases; and Allah isthe Lord of mighty grace.
58/1 Allah indeed knows the plea of her who pleads with youabout her husband and complains to Allah, and Allah knowsthe contentions of both of you; surely Allah is Hearing,Seeing.
58/2 (As for) those of you who put away their wives bylikening their backs to the backs of their mothers, they arenot their mothers; their mothers are no others than thosewho gave thembirth; and most surely they utter a hateful word and afalsehood and most surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.
58/3 And (as for) those who put away their wives by likeningtheir backs to the backs of their mothers then would recallwhat they said, they should free a captive before they toucheach other; to that you are admonished (to conform); andAllah is Aware of what you do.
58/4 But whoever has not the means, let him fast for twomonths successively before they touch each other; then asfor him who is not able, let him feed sixty needy ones; thatis in order that you may have faith in Allah and HisMessenger, and these are Allah's limits, and the unbelieversshall have a painful punishment.
58/5 Surely those who act in opposition to Allah and HisMessenger shall be laid down prostrate as those before themwere laid down prostrate; and indeed We have revealed clearcommunications, and the unbelievers shall have an abasingchastisement.
58/6 On the day when Allah will raise them up all together,then inform them of what they did: Allah has recorded itwhile they have forgotten it; and Allah is a witness of allthings.
58/7 Do you not see that Allah knows whatever is in theheavens and whatever is in the earth? Nowhere is there asecret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth ofthem, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, norless than that nor more but He is with them wheresoever theyare; then He will inform them of what they did on the day ofresurrection: surely Allah is Cognizant of all things.
58/8 Have you not seen those who are forbidden secretcounsels, then they return to what they are forbidden, andthey hold secret counsels for sin and revolt anddisobedience to the Messenger, and when they come to you theygreet you with a greeting with which Allah does not greetyou, and they say in themselves: Why does not Allah punishus for what we say? Hell is enough for them; they shallenter it, and evil is the resort.
58/9 O you who believe! when you confer together in private,do not give to each other counsel of sin and revolt anddisobedience to the Messenger, and give to each other counselof goodness and guarding (against evil); and be careful of(your duty to) Allah, to Whom you shall be gatheredtogether.
58/10 Secret counsels are only (the work) of the Shaitan thathe may cause to grieve those who believe, and he cannot hurtthem in the least except with Allah's permission, and onAllah let the believers rely.
58/11 O you who believe! when it is said to you, Make room in(your) assemblies, then make ample room, Allah will give youample, and when it is said: Rise up, then rise up. Allahwill exalt those of you who believe, and those who are givenknowledge, in high degrees; and Allah is Aware of what youdo.
58/12 O you who believe! when you consult the Messenger, thenoffer something in charity before your consultation; that isbetter for you and purer; but if you do not find, thensurely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
58/13 Do you fear that you will not (be able to) give incharity before your consultation? So when you do not do itand Allah has turned to you (mercifully), then keep upprayer and pay the poor-rate and obey Allah and His Messenger;and Allah is Aware of what you do.
58/14 Have you not seen those who befriend a people with whomAllah is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them, andthey swear falsely while they know.
58/15 Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment; surelywhat they do is evil.
58/16 They make their oaths to serve as a cover so they turnaway from Allah's way; therefore they shall have an abasingchastisement.
58/17 Neither their wealth nor their children shall avail themaught against Allah; they are the inmates of the fire,therein they shall abide.
58/18 On the day that Allah will raise them up all, then theywill swear to Him as they swear to you, and they think thatthey have something; now surely they are the liars.
58/19 The Shaitan has gained the mastery over them, so he hasmade them forget the remembrance of Allah; they are theShaitan's party; now surely the Shaitan's party are thelosers.
58/20 Surely (as for) those who are in opposition to Allah andHis Messenger; they shall be among the most abased.
58/21 Allah has written down: I will most certainly prevail, Iand My messengers; surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.
58/22 You shall not find a people who believe in Allah and thelatter day befriending those who act in opposition to Allahand His Messenger, even though they were their (own) fathers,or their sons, or their brothers, or their kinsfolk; theseare they into whose hearts He has impressed faith, and whomHe has strengthened with an inspiration from Him: and Hewill cause them to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow,abiding therein; Allah is well-pleased with them and theyare well-pleased with Him these are Allah's party: nowsurely the party of Allah are the successful ones.
59/1 Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earthdeclares the glory of Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
59/2 He it is Who caused those who disbelieved of thefollowers of the Book to go forth from their homes at thefirst banishment you did not think that they would go forth,while they were certain that their fortresses would defendthem against Allah; but Allah came to them whence they didnot expect, and cast terror into their hearts; theydemolished their houses with their own hands and the handsof the believers; therefore take a lesson, O you who haveeyes!
59/3 And had it not been that Allah had decreed for them theexile, He would certainly have punished them in this world,and m the hereafter they shall have chastisement of thefire.
59/4 That is because they acted in opposition to Allah and HisMessenger, and whoever acts in opposition to Allah, thensurely Allah is severe in retributing (evil).
59/5 Whatever palm-tree you cut down or leave standing uponits roots, It is by Allah's command, and that He may abasethe transgressors.
59/6 And whatever Allah restored to His Messenger from them youdid not press forward against it any horse or a riding camelbut Allah gives authority to His messengers against whom Hepleases, and Allah has power over all things.
59/7 Whatever Allah has restored to His Messenger from thepeople of the towns, it is for Allah and for the Messenger,and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy andthe wayfarer, so that it may not be a thing taken by turnsamong the rich of you, and whatever the Messenger gives you,accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back, andbe careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severein retributing (evil):
59/8 (It is) for the poor who fled their homes and theirpossessions, seeking grace of Allah and (His) pleasure, andassisting Allah and His Messenger: these it is that are thetruthful.
59/9 And those who made their abode in the city and in thefaith before them love those who have fled to them, and donot find in their hearts a need of what they are given, andprefer (them) before themselves though poverty may afflictthem, and whoever is preserved from the niggardliness of hissoul, these it is that are the successful ones.
59/10 And those who come after them say: Our Lord! forgive usand those of our brethren who had precedence of us in faith,and do not allow any spite to remain in our hearts towardsthose who believe, our Lord! surely Thou art Kind, Merciful.
59/11 Have you not seen those who have become hypocrites? Theysay to those of their brethren who disbelieve from among thefollowers of the Book: If you are driven forth, we shallcertainly go forth with you, and we will never obey any oneconcerning you, and if you are fought against, we willcertainly help you, and Allah bears witness that they aremost surely liars.
59/12 Certainly if these are driven forth, they will not goforth with them, and if they are fought against, they willnot help them, and even if they help-them, they willcertainly turn (their) backs, then they shall not be helped.
59/13 You are certainly greater in being feared in theirhearts than Allah; that is because they are a people who donot understand
59/14 They will not fight against you in a body save infortified towns or from behind walls; their fighting betweenthem is severe, you may think them as one body, and theirhearts are disunited; that is because they are a people whohave no sense.
59/15 Like those before them shortly; they tasted the evilresult of their affair, and they shall have a painfulpunishment.
59/16 Like the Shaitan when he says to man: Disbelieve, butwhen he disbelieves, he says: I am surely clear of you;surely I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
59/17 Therefore the end of both of them is that they are bothin the fire to abide therein, and that is the reward of theunjust.
59/18 O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah,and let every soul consider what it has sent on for themorrow, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allahis Aware of what you do.
59/19 And be not like those who forsook Allah, so He made themforsake their own souls: these it is that are thetransgressors.
59/20 Not alike are the inmates of the fire and the dwellersof the garden: the dwellers of the garden are they that arethe achievers.
59/21 Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you wouldcertainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunderbecause of the fear of Allah, and We set forth theseparables to men that they may reflect.
59/22 He is Allah besides Whom there is no god; the Knower ofthe unseen and the seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful
59/23 He is Allah, besides Whom there is no god; the King, theHoly, the Giver of peace, the Granter of security, Guardianover all, the Mighty, the Supreme, the Possessor of everygreatness Glory be to Allah from what they set up (withHim).
59/24 He is Allah the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; Hisare the most excellent names; whatever is in the heavens andthe earth declares His glory; and He is the Mighty, theWise.
60/1 O you who believe! do not take My enemy and your enemyfor friends: would you offer them love while they deny whathas come to you of the truth, driving out the Messenger andyourselves because you believe in Allah, your Lord? If yougo forth struggling hard in My path and seeking My pleasure,would you manifest love to them? And I know what you concealand what you manifest; and whoever of you does this, heindeed has gone astray from the straight path.
60/2 If they find you, they will be your enemies, and willstretch forth towards you their hands and their tongues withevil, and they ardently desire that you may disbelieve.
60/3 Your relationship would not profit you, nor your childrenon the day of resurrection; He will decide between you; andAllah sees what you do.
60/4 Indeed, there is for you a good example in Ibrahim andthose with him when they said to their people: Surely we areclear of you and of what you serve besides Allah; we declareourselves to be clear of you, and enmity and hatred haveappeared between us and you forever until you believe inAllah alone-- but not in what Ibrahim said to his father: Iwould certainly ask forgiveness for you, and I do notcontrol for you aught from Allah-- Our Lord! on Thee do werely, and to Thee do we turn, and to Thee is the eventualcoming:
60/5 Our Lord! do not make us a trial for those whodisbelieve, and forgive us, our Lord! surely Thou art theMighty, the Wise.
60/6 Certainly there is for you in them a good example, forhim who fears Allah and the last day; and whoever turnsback, then surely Allah is the Self-sufficient, the Praised.
60/7 It may be that Allah will bring about friendship betweenyou and those whom you hold to be your enemies among them;and Allah is Powerful; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
60/8 Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have notmade war against you on account of (your) religion, and havenot driven you forth from your homes, that you show themkindness and deal with them justly; surely Allah loves thedoers of justice.
60/9 Allah only forbids you respecting those who made war uponyou on account of (your) religion, and drove you forth fromyour homes and backed up (others) in your expulsion, thatyou make friends with them, and whoever makes friends withthem, these are the unjust.
60/10 O you who believe! when believing women come to youflying, then examine them; Allah knows best their faith;then if you find them to be believing women, do not sendthem back to the unbelievers, neither are these (women)lawful for them, nor are those (men) lawful for them, andgive them what they have spent; and no blame attaches to youin marrying them when you give them their dowries; and holdnot to the ties of marriage of unbelieving women, and askfor what you have spent, and kt them ask for what they havespent. That is Allah's judgment; He judges between you, andAllah is Knowing, Wise.
60/11 And if anything (out of the dowries) of your wives haspassed away from you to the unbelievers, then your turncomes, give to those whose wives have gone away the like ofwhat they have spent, and be careful of (your duty to) Allahin Whom you believe.
60/12 O Prophet! when believing women come to you giving you apledge that they will not associate aught with Allah, andwill not steal, and will not commit fornication, and willnot kill their children, and will not bring a calumny whichthey have forged of themselves, and will not disobey you inwhat is good, accept their pledge, and ask forgiveness forthem from Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
60/13 O you who believe! do not make friends with a peoplewith whom Allah is wroth; indeed they despair of thehereafter as the unbelievers despair of those in tombs.
61/1 Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earthdeclares the glory of Allah; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
61/2 O you who believe! why do you say that which you do notdo?
61/3 It is most hateful to Allah that you should say thatwhich you do not do.
61/4 Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks asif they were a firm and compact wall.
61/5 And when Musa said to his people: O my people! why do yougive me trouble? And you know indeed that I am Allah'smessenger to you; but when they turned aside, Allah made theirhearts turn aside, and Allah does not guide thetransgressing people.
61/6 And when Isa son of Marium said: O children of Israel!surely I am the messenger of Allah to you, verifying thatwhich is before me of the Taurat and giving the good news ofan Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad, butwhen he came to them with clear arguments they said: This isclear magic.
61/7 And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie againstAllah and he is invited to Islam, and Allah does not guidethe unjust people.
61/8 They desire to put out the light of Allah with theirmouths but Allah will perfect His light, though theunbelievers may be averse.
61/9 He it is Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and thetrue religion, that He may make it overcome the religions,all of them, though the polytheists may be averse.
61/10 O you who believe! shall I lead you to a merchandisewhich may deliver you from a painful chastisement?
61/11 You shall believe in Allah and His Messenger, andstruggle hard in Allah's way with your property and yourlives; that is better for you, did you but know!
61/12 He will forgive you your faults and cause you to enterinto gardens, beneath which rivers flow, and goodlydwellings in gardens of perpetuity; that is the mightyachievement;
61/13 And yet another (blessing) that you love: help fromAllah and a victory near at hand; and give good news to thebelievers.
61/14 O you who believe! be helpers (in the cause) of Allah,as~ Isa son of Marium said to (his) disciples: Who are myhelpers in the cause of Allah? The disciples said: We arehelpers (in the cause) of Allah. So a party of the childrenof Israel believed and another party disbelieved; then Weaided those who believed against their enemy, and theybecame uppermost.
62/1 Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earthdeclares the glory of Allah, the King, the Holy, the Mighty,the Wise.
62/2 He it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca anMessenger from among themselves, who recites to them Hiscommunications and purifies them, and teaches them the Bookand the Wisdom, although they were before certainly in clearerror,
62/3 And others from among them who have not yet joined them;and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
62/4 That is Allah's grace; He grants it to whom He pleases,and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
62/5 The likeness of those who were charged with the Taurat,then they did not observe it, is as the likeness of the assbearing books, evil is the likeness of the people who rejectthe communications of Allah; and Allah does not guide theunjust people.
62/6 Say: O you who are Jews, if you think that you are thefavorites of Allah to the exclusion of other people, theninvoke death If you are truthful.
62/7 And they will never invoke it because of what their handshave sent before; and Allah is Cognizant of the unjust.
62/8 Say: (As for) the death from which you flee, that willsurely overtake you, then you shall be sent back to theKnower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you ofthat which you did.
62/9 O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer onFriday, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leaveoff trading; that is better for you, if you know.
62/10 But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad inthe land and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much,that you may be successful.
62/11 And when they see merchandise or sport they break up forIt, and leave you standing. Say: What is with Allah isbetter than sport and (better) than merchandise, and Allahis the best of Sustainers.
63/1 When the hypocrites come to you, they say: We bearwitness that you are most surely Allah's Messenger; and Allahknows that you are most surely His Messenger, and Allah bearswitness that the hypocrites are surely liars.
63/2 They make their oaths a shelter, and thus turn away fromAllah's way; surely evil is that which they do.
63/3 That is because they believe, then disbelieve, so a sealis set upon their hearts so that they do not understand.
63/4 And when you see them, their persons will please you, andIf they speak, you will listen to their speech; (they are)as if they were big pieces of wood clad with garments; theythink every cry to be against them. They are the enemy,therefore beware of them; may Allah destroy them, whence arethey turned back?
63/5 And when it is said to them: Come, the Messenger of Allahwill ask forgiveness for you, they turn back their heads andyou may see them turning away while they are big with pride.
63/6 It is alike to them whether you beg forgiveness for themor do not beg forgiveness for them; Allah will never forgivethem; surely Allah does not guide the transgressing people.
63/7 They it is who say: Do not spend upon those who are withthe Messenger of Allah until they break up. And Allah's arethe treasures of the heavens and the earth, but thehypocrites do not understand.
63/8 They say: If we return to Medina, the mighty will surelydrive out the meaner therefrom; and to Allah belongs themight and to His Messenger and to the believers, but thehypocrites do not know.
63/9 O you who believe! let not your wealth, or your children,divert you from the remembrance of Allah; and whoever doesthat, these are the losers.
63/10 And spend out of what We have given you before deathcomes to one of you, so that he should say: My Lord! whydidst Thou not respite me to a near term, so that I shouldhave given alms and been of the doers of good deeds?
63/11 And Allah does not respite a soul when its appointedterm has come, and Allah is Aware of what you do.
64/1 Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earthdeclares the glory of Allah; to Him belongs the kingdom, andto Him is due (all) praise, and He has power over allthings.
64/2 He it is Who created you, but one of you is an unbelieverand another of you is a believer; and Allah sees what youdo.
64/3 He created the heavens and the earth with truth, and Heformed you, then made goodly your forms, and to Him is theultimate resort.
64/4 He knows what is in the heavens and the earth, and Heknows what you hide and what you manifest;and Allah isCognizant of what is in the hearts.
64/5 Has there not come to you the story of those whodisbelieved before, then tasted the evil result of theirconduct, and they had a painful punishment?
64/6 That is because there came to them their messengers withclear arguments, but they said: Shall mortals guide us? Sothey disbelieved and turned back, and Allah does not standin need (of anything), and Allah is Self-sufficient,Praised.
64/7 Those who disbelieve think that they shall never beraised. Say: Aye! by my Lord! you shall most certainly beraised, then you shall most certainly be informed of whatyou did; and that is easy to Allah.
64/8 Therefore believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Lightwhich We have revealed; and Allah is Aware of what you do.
64/9 On the day that He will gather you for the day ofgathering, that is the day of loss and gain; and whoeverbelieves in Allah and does good, He will remove from him hisevil and cause him to enter gardens beneath which riversflow, to abide therein forever; that is the greatachievement.
64/10 And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Ourcommunications, they are the inmates of the fire, to abidetherein and evil is the resort.
64/11 No affliction comes about but by Allah's permission; andwhoever believes in Allah, He guides aright his heart; andAllah is Cognizant of all things.
64/12 And obey Allah and obey the Messenger, but if you turnback, then upon Our Messenger devolves only the clear delivery(of the message).
64/13 Allah, there is no god but He; and upon Allah, then, letthe believers rely.
64/14 O you who believe! surely from among your wives and yourchildren there is an enemy to you; therefore beware of them;and if you pardon and forbear and forgive, then surely Allahis Forgiving, Merciful.
64/15 Your possessions and your children are only a trial, andAllah it is with Whom is a great reward.
64/16 Therefore be careful of (your duty to) Allah as much asyou can, and hear and obey and spend, it is better for yoursouls; and whoever is saved from the greediness of his soul,these it is that are the successful.
64/17 If you set apart for Allah a goodly portion, He willdouble it for you and forgive you; and Allah is theMultiplier (of rewards), Forbearing,
64/18 The Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mighty, theWise.
65/1 O Prophet! when you divorce women, divorce them for~their prescribed time, and calculate the number of the daysprescribed, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, yourLord. Do not drive them out of their houses, nor should theythemselves go forth, unless they commit an open indecency;and these are the limits of Allah, and whoever goes beyondthe limits of Allah, he indeed does injustice to his ownsoul. You do not know that Allah may after that bring aboutreunion.
65/2 So when they have reached their prescribed time, thenretain them with kindness or separate them with kindness,and call to witness two men of justice from among you, andgive upright testimony for Allah. With that is admonished hewho believes in Allah and the latter day; and whoever iscareful of (his duty to) Allah, He will make for him anoutlet,
65/3 And give him sustenance from whence he thinks not; andwhoever trusts in Allah, He is sufficient for him; surelyAllah attains His purpose; Allah indeed has appointed ameasure for everything.
65/4 And (as for) those of your women who have despaired ofmenstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed timeshall be three months, and of those too who have not hadtheir courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, theirprescribed time is that they lay down their burden; andwhoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easyfor him his affair.
65/5 That is the command of Allah which He has revealed toyou, and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He willremove from him his evil and give him a big reward.
65/6 Lodge them where you lodge according to your means, anddo not injure them in order that you may straiten them; andif they are pregnant, spend on them until they lay downtheir burden; then if they suckle for you, give them theirrecompense and enjoin one another among you to do good; andif you disagree, another (woman) shall suckle for him.
65/7 Let him who has abundance spend out of his abundance andwhoever has his means of subsistence straitened to him, lethim spend out of that which Allah has given him; Allah doesnot lay on any soul a burden except to the extent to whichHe has granted it; Allah brings about ease after difficulty.
65/8 And how many a town which rebelled against thecommandment of its Lord and His messengers, so We called it toaccount severely and We chastised it (with) a sternchastisement.
65/9 So it tasted the evil result of its conduct, and the endof its affair was perdition.
65/10 Allah has prepared for them severe chastisement,therefore be careful of (your duty to) Allah, O men ofunderstanding who believe! Allah has indeed revealed to youa reminder,
65/11 An Messenger who recites to you the clear communicationsof Allah so that he may bring forth those who believe and dogood deeds from darkness into light; and whoever believes inAllah and does good deeds, He will cause him to entergardens beneath which rivers now, to abide therein forever,Allah has indeed given him a goodly sustenance.
65/12 Allah is He Who created seven heavens, and of the earththe like of them; the decree continues to descend amongthem, that you may know that Allah has power over all thingsand that Allah indeed encompasses all things in (His)knowledge.
66/1 O Prophet! why do you forbid (yourself) that which Allahhas made lawful for you; you seek to please your wives; andAllah is Forgiving, Merciful.
66/2 Allah indeed has sanctioned for you the expiation of youroaths and Allah is your Protector, and He is the Knowing theWise.
66/3 And when the prophet secretly communicated a piece ofinformation to one of his wives-- but when she informed(others) of it, and Allah made him to know it, he made knownpart of it and avoided part; so when he informed her of it,she said: Who informed you of this? He said: The Knowing,the one Aware, informed me.
66/4 If you both turn to Allah, then indeed your hearts arealready inclined (to this); and if you back up each otheragainst him, then surely Allah it is Who is his Guardian,and Jibreel and -the believers that do good, and the angelsafter that are the aiders.
66/5 Maybe, his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in yourplace wives better than you, submissive, faithful, obedient,penitent, adorers, fasters, widows and virgins.
66/6 O you who believe! save yourselves and your families froma fire whose fuel is men and stones; over it are angelsstern and strong, they do not disobey Allah in what Hecommands them, and do as they are commanded.
66/7 O you who disbelieve! do not urge excuses today; youshall be rewarded only according to what you did.
66/8 O you who believe! turn to Allah a sincere turning; maybeyour Lord will remove from you your evil and cause you toenter gardens beneath which rivers flow, on the day on whichAllah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe withhim; their light shall run on before them and on their righthands; they shall say: Our Lord! make perfect for us ourlight, and grant us protection, surely Thou hast power overall things.
66/9 O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and thehypocrites, and be hard against them; and their abode ishell; and evil is the resort.
66/10 Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve thewife of Nuh and the wife of Lut: they were both under two ofOur righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towardsthem so they availed them naught against Allah, and it wassaid: Enter both the fire with those who enter.
66/11 And Allah sets forth an example to those who believe thewife of Firon when she said: My Lord! build for me a housewith Thee in the garden and deliver me from Firon and hisdoing, and deliver me from the unjust people:
66/12 And Marium, the daughter of Imran, who guarded herchastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration and sheaccepted the truth of the words of her Lord and His books,and she was of, the obedient ones.
67/1 Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He haspower over all things,
67/2 Who created death and life that He may try you-- which ofyou is best in deeds; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving,
67/3 Who created the seven heavens one above another; you seeno incongruity in the creation of the Beneficent Allah; thenlook again, can you see any disorder?
67/4 Then turn back the eye again and again; your look shall'~ come back to you confused while it is fatigued.
67/5 And certainly We have adorned this lower heaven withlamps and We have made these missiles for the Shaitans, andWe have prepared for them the chastisement of burning.
67/6 And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is thepunishment of hell, and evil is the resort.
67/7 When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loudmoaning of it as it heaves,
67/8 Almost bursting for fury. Whenever a group is cast intoit, its keeper shall ask them: Did there not come to you awarner?
67/9 They shall say: Yea! indeed there came to us a warner,but we rejected (him) and said: Allah has not revealedanything, you are only in a great error.
67/10 And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, weshould not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.
67/11 So they shall acknowledge their sins, but far will be(forgiveness) from the inmates of the burning fire.
67/12 (As for) those who fear their Lord in secret, they shallsurely have forgiveness and a great reward.
67/13 And conceal your word or manifest it; surely He isCognizant of what is in the hearts.
67/14 Does He not know, Who created? And He is the Knower ofthe subtleties, the Aware.
67/15 He it is Who made the earth smooth for you, therefore goabout in the spacious sides thereof, and eat of Hissustenance, and to Him is the return after death.
67/16 Are you secure of those in the heaven that He should notmake the earth to swallow you up? Then lo! it shall be in astate of commotion.
67/17 Or are you secure of those in the heaven that He shouldnot send down upon you a punishment? Then shall you know howwas My warning.
67/18 And certainly those before them rejected (the truth),then how was My disapproval.
67/19 Have they not seen the birds above them expanding (theirwings) and contracting (them)? What is it that withholdsthem save the Beneficent Allah? Surely He sees everything.
67/20 Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist youbesides the Beneficent Allah? The unbelievers are only indeception.
67/21 Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He shouldwithhold His sustenance? Nay! they persist in disdain andaversion.
67/22 What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guidedor he who walks upright upon a straight path?
67/23 Say: He it is Who brought you into being and made foryou the ears and the eyes and the hearts: little is it thatyou give thanks.
67/24 Say: He it is Who multiplied you in the earth and to Himyou shall be gathered.
67/25 And they say: When shall this threat be (executed) ifyou are truthful?
67/26 Say: The knowledge (thereof is only with Allah and I amonly a plain warner.
67/27 But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those whodisbelieve shall be sorry, and it shall be said; This isthat which you used to call for.
67/28 Say: Have you considered if Allah should destroy me andthose with me-- rather He will have mercy on us; yet who willprotect the unbelievers from a painful punishment?
67/29 Say: He is the Beneficent Allah, we believe in Him and onHim do we rely, so you shall come to know who it is that isin clear error.
67/30 Say: Have you considered if your water should go down,who is it then that will bring you flowing water?
68/1 Noon. I swear by the pen and what the angels write,
68/2 By the grace of your Lord you are not mad.
68/3 And most surely you shall have a reward never to be cutoff.
68/4 And most surely you conform (yourself) to sublimemorality.
68/5 So you shall see, and they (too) shall see,
68/6 Which of you is afflicted with madness.
68/7 Surely your Lord best knows him who errs from His way,and He best knows the followers of the right course.
68/8 So do not yield to the rejecters.
68/9 They wish that you should be pliant so they (too) wouldbe pliant.
68/10 And yield not to any mean swearer
68/11 Defamer, going about with slander
68/12 Forbidder of good, outstepping the limits, sinful,
68/13 Ignoble, besides all that, base-born;
68/14 Because he possesses wealth and sons.
68/15 When Our communications are recited to him, he says:Stories of those of yore.
68/16 We will brand him on the nose.
68/17 Surely We will try them as We tried the owners of thegarden, when they swore that they would certainly cut offthe produce in the morning,
68/18 And were not willing to set aside a portion (for thepoor).
68/19 Then there encompassed it a visitation from your Lordwhile they were sleeping.
68/20 So it became as black, barren land.
68/21 And they called out to each other in the morning,
68/22 Saying: Go early to your tilth if you would cut (theproduce).
68/23 So they went, while they consulted together secretly,
68/24 Saying: No poor man shall enter it today upon you.
68/25 And in the morning they went, having the power toprevent.
68/26 But when they saw it, they said: Most surely we havegone astray
68/27 Nay! we are made to suffer privation.
68/28 The best of them said: Did I not say to you, Why do younot glorify (Allah)?
68/29 They said: Glory be to our Lord, surely we were unjust.
68/30 Then some of them advanced against others, blaming eachother.
68/31 Said they: O woe to us! surely we were inordinate:
68/32 Maybe, our Lord will give us instead one better than it;surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition.
68/33 Such is the chastisement, and certainly the chastisementof the hereafter is greater, did they but know!
68/34 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall have withtheir Lord gardens of bliss.
68/35 What! shall We then make (that is, treat) those who submitas the guilty?
68/36 What has happened to you? How do you judge?
68/37 Or have you a book wherein you read,
68/38 That you have surely therein what you choose?
68/39 Or have you received from Us an agreement confirmed byan oath extending to the day of resurrection that you shallsurely have what you demand?
68/40 Ask them which of them will vouch for that,
68/41 Or have they associates if they are truthful.
68/42 On the day when there shall be a severe affliction, andthey shall be called upon to make obeisance, but they shallnot be able,
68/43 Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them;and they were called upon to make obeisance indeed while yetthey were safe.
68/44 So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; Wewill overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceivenot:
68/45 And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm.
68/46 Or do you ask from them a reward, so that they areburdened with debt?
68/47 Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that theywrite (it) down?
68/48 So wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, and benot like the companion of the fish, when he cried while hewas in distress.
68/49 Were it not that favor from his Lord had overtaken him,he would certainly have been cast down upon the naked Foundwhile he was blamed.
68/50 Then his Lord chose him, and He made him of the good.
68/51 And those who disbelieve would almost smite you withtheir eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say: Mostsurely he is mad.
68/52 And it is naught but a reminder to the nations.
69/1 The sure calamity!
69/2 What is the sure calamity!
69/3 And what would make you realize what the sure calamity is!
69/4 Samood and Ad called the striking calamity a lie.
69/5 Then as to Samood, they were destroyed by an excessivelysevere punishment.
69/6 And as to Ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violentblast.
69/7 Which He made to prevail against them for seven nightsand eight days unremittingly, so that you might have seenthe people therein prostrate as if they were the trunks ofhollow palms.
69/8 Do you then see of them one remaining?
69/9 And Firon and those before him and the overthrown citiescontinuously committed sins.
69/10 And they disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord, so Hepunished them with a vehement punishment.
69/11 Surely We bore you up in the ship when the water rosehigh,
69/12 So that We may make it a reminder to you, and that theretaining ear might retain it.
69/13 And when the trumpet is blown with a single blast,
69/14 And the earth and the mountains are borne away andcrushed with a single crushing.
69/15 On that day shall the great event come to pass,
69/16 And the heaven shall cleave asunder, so that on that dayit shall be frail,
69/17 And the angels shall be on the sides thereof; and above) I them eight shall bear on that day your Lord's power.
69/18 On that day you shall be exposed to view-- no secret ofyours shall remain hidden.
69/19 Then as for him who is given his book in his right hand,he will say: Lo! read my book:
69/20 Surely I knew that I shall meet my account.
69/21 So he shall be in a life of pleasure,
69/22 In a lofty garden,
69/23 The fruits of which are near at hand:
69/24 Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did beforehand inthe days gone by.
69/25 And as for him who is given his book in his left hand heshall say: O would that my book had never been given me:
69/26 And I had not known what my account was:
69/27 O would that it had made an end (of me):
69/28 My wealth has availed me nothing:
69/29 My authority is gone away from me.
69/30 Lay hold on him, then put a chain on him,
69/31 Then cast him into the burning fire,
69/32 Then thrust him into a chain the length of which isseventy cubits.
69/33 Surely he did not believe in Allah, the Great,
69/34 Nor did he urge the feeding of the poor.
69/35 Therefore he has not here today a true friend,
69/36 Nor any food except refuse,
69/37 Which none but the wrongdoers eat.
69/38 But nay! I swear by that which you see,
69/39 And that which you do not see.
69/40 Most surely, it is the Word brought by an honoredMessenger,
69/41 And it is not the word of a poet; little is it that youbelieve;
69/42 Nor the word of a soothsayer; little is it that youmind.
69/43 It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
69/44 And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings,
69/45 We would certainly have seized him by the right hand,
69/46 Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta.
69/47 And not one of you could have withheld Us from him.
69/48 And most surely it is a reminder for those who guard(against evil).
69/49 And most surely We know that some of you are rejecters.
69/50 And most surely it is a great grief to the unbelievers.
69/51 And most surely it is the true certainty
69/52 Therefore-glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
70/1 One demanding, demanded the chastisement which mustbefall
70/2 The unbelievers-- there is none to avert it--
70/3 From Allah, the Lord of the ways of Ascent.
70/4 To Him ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day themeasure of which is fifty thousand years.
70/5 Therefore endure with a goodly patience.
70/6 Surely they think it to be far off,
70/7 And We see it nigh.
70/8 On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper
70/9 And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool
70/10 And friend shall not ask of friend
70/11 (Though) they shall be made to see each other. Theguilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisementof that day by (sacrificing) his children,
70/12 And his wife and his brother
70/13 And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter,
70/14 And all those that are in the earth, (wishing) then(that) this might deliver him.
70/15 By no means! Surely it is a flaming fire
70/16 Dragging by the head,
70/17 It shall claim him who turned and fled (from truth),
70/18 And amasses (wealth) then shuts it up.
70/19 Surely man is created of a hasty temperament
70/20 Being greatly grieved when evil afflicts him
70/21 And niggardly when good befalls him
70/22 Except those who pray,
70/23 Those who are constant at their prayer
70/24 And those in whose wealth there is a fixed portion.
70/25 For him who begs and for him who is denied (good)
70/26 And those who accept the truth of the judgment day
70/27 And those who are fearful of the chastisement of theirLord--
70/28 Surely the chastisement of their Lord is (a thing) notto be felt secure of--
70/29 And those who guard their private parts,
70/30 Except in the case of their wives or those whom theirright hands possess-- for these surely are not to be blamed,
70/31 But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that gobeyond the limits--
70/32 And those who are faithful to their trusts and theircovenant
70/33 And those who are upright in their testimonies,
70/34 And those who keep a guard on their prayer,
70/35 Those shall be in gardens, honored.
70/36 But what is the matter with those who disbelieve thatthey hasten on around you,
70/37 On the right hand and on the left, in sundry parties?
70/38 Does every man of them desire that he should be made toenter the garden of bliss?
70/39 By no means! Surely We have created them of what theyknow.
70/40 But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Weststhat We are certainly able
70/41 To bring instead (others) better than them, and We shallnot be overcome.
70/42 Therefore leave them alone to go on with the falsediscourses and to sport until they come face to face withthat day of theirs with which they are threatened;
70/43 The day on which they shall come forth from their gravesin haste, as if they were hastening on to a goal,
70/44 Their eyes cast down; disgrace shall overtake them; thatis the day which they were threatened with.
71/1 Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn yourpeople before there come upon them a painful chastisement.
71/2 He said: O my people! Surely I am a plain warner to you:
71/3 That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your dutyto) Him and obey me:
71/4 He will forgive you some of your faults and grant you adelay to an appointed term; surely the term of Allah when itcomes is not postponed; did you but know!
71/5 He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people bynight and by day!
71/6 But my call has only made them flee the more:
71/7 And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgivethem, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselveswith their garments, and persist and are puffed up withpride:
71/8 Then surely I called to them aloud:
71/9 Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to themin secret:
71/10 Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He isthe most Forgiving:
71/11 He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring downabundance of rain:
71/12 And help you with wealth and sons, and make for yougardens, and make for you rivers.
71/13 What is the matter with you that you fear not thegreatness of Allah?
71/14 And indeed He has created you through various grades:
71/15 Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens,~ one above another,
71/16 And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun alamp?
71/17 And Allah has made you grow out of the earth as agrowth:
71/18 Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you fortha (new) bringing forth:
71/19 And Allah has made for you the earth a wide expanse,
71/20 That you may go along therein in wide paths.
71/21 Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me andfollowed him whose wealth and children have added to himnothing but loss.
71/22 And they have planned a very great plan.
71/23 And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leaveWadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr.
71/24 And indeed they have led astray many, and do notincrease the unjust in aught but error.
71/25 Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made toenter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah.
71/26 And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land anydweller from among the unbelievers:
71/27 For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thyservants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful(children)
71/28 My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who enters myhouse believing, and the believing men and the believingwomen; and do not increase the unjust in aught butdestruction!
72/1 Say: It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinnlistened, and they said: Surely we have heard a wonderfulQuran,
72/2 Guiding to the right way, so we believe in it, and wewill not set up any one with our Lord:
72/3 And that He-- exalted be the majesty of our Lord-- has nottaken a consort, nor a son:
72/4 And that the foolish amongst us used to forge extravagantthings against Allah:
72/5 And that we thought that men and jinn did not utter a lieagainst Allah:
72/6 And that persons from among men used to seek refuge withpersons from among jinn, so they increased them inwrongdoing:
72/7 And that they thought as you think, that Allah would notraise anyone:
72/8 And that we sought to reach heaven, but we found itfilled with strong guards and flaming stars.
72/9 And that we used to sit in some of the sitting-placesthereof to steal a hearing, but he who would (try to) listennow would find a flame lying in wait for him:
72/10 And that we know not whether evil is meant for those whoare on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good:
72/11 And that some of us are good and others of us are belowthat: we are sects following different ways:
72/12 And that we know that we cannot escape Allah in theearth, nor can we escape Him by flight:
72/13 And that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it;so whoever believes in his Lord, he should neither fear lossnor being overtaken (by disgrace):
72/14 And that some of us are those who submit, and some of usare the deviators; so whoever submits, these aim at theright way:
72/15 And as to the deviators, they are fuel of hell:
72/16 And that if they should keep to the (right) way, Wewould certainly give them to drink of abundant water,
72/17 So that We might try them with respect to it; andwhoever turns aside from the reminder of his Lord, He willmake him enter into an afflicting chastisement:
72/18 And that the mosques are Allah's, therefore call notupon any one with Allah:
72/19 And that when the servant of Allah stood up calling uponHim, they wellnigh crowded him (to death).
72/20 Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associateany one with Him.
72/21 Say: I do not control for you evil or good.
72/22 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor canI find besides Him any place of refuge:
72/23 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allahand His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messengersurely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for along time.
72/24 Until when they see what they are threatened with, thenshall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer innumber.
72/25 Say: I do not know whether that with which you arethreatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it aterm:
72/26 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal Hissecrets to any,
72/27 Except to him whom He chooses as a messenger; for surelyHe makes a guard to march before him and after him,
72/28 So that He may know that they have truly delivered themessages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with themand He records the number of all things.
73/1 O you who have wrapped up in your garments!
73/2 Rise to pray in the night except a little,
73/3 Half of it, or lessen it a little,
73/4 Or add to it, and recite the Quran as it ought to berecited.
73/5 Surely We will make to light upon you a weighty Word.
73/6 Surely the rising by night is the firmest way to treadand the best corrective of speech.
73/7 Surely you have in the day time a long occupation.
73/8 And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself toHim with (exclusive) devotion.
73/9 The Lord of the East and the West-- there is no god butHe-- therefore take Him for a protector.
73/10 And bear patiently what they say and avoid them with abecoming avoidance.
73/11 And leave Me and the rejecters, the possessors of easeand plenty, and respite them a little.
73/12 Surely with Us are heavy fetters and a flaming fire,
73/13 And food that chokes and a painful punishment,
73/14 On the day when the earth and the mountains shall quakeand the mountains shall become (as) heaps of sand let loose.
73/15 Surely We have sent to you a Messenger, a witness againstyou, as We sent a messenger to Firon.
73/16 But Firon disobeyed the messenger, so We laid on him aviolent hold.
73/17 How, then, will you guard yourselves, if you disbelieve,on the day which shall make children grey-headed?
73/18 The heaven shall rend asunder thereby; His promise isever brought to fulfillment.
73/19 Surely this is a reminder, then let him, who will takethe way to his Lord.
73/20 Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearlytwo-thirds of the night, and (sometimes) half of it, and(sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those withyou; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows thatyou are not able to do it, so He has turned to you(mercifully), therefore read what is easy of the Quran. Heknows that there must be among you sick, and others whotravel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, andothers who fight in Allah's way, therefore read as much ofit as is easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay thepoor-rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift, and whatever ofgood you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find itwith Allah; that is best and greatest in reward; and askforgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
74/1 O you who are clothed!
74/2 Arise and warn,
74/3 And your Lord do magnify,
74/4 And your garments do purify,
74/5 And uncleanness do shun,
74/6 And bestow not favors that you may receive again withincrease,
74/7 And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.
74/8 For when the trumpet is sounded,
74/9 That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,
74/10 For the unbelievers, anything but easy.
74/11 Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
74/12 And give him vast riches,
74/13 And sons dwelling in his presence,
74/14 And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
74/15 And yet he desires that I should add more!
74/16 By no means! surely he offers opposition to Ourcommunications.
74/17 I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
74/18 Surely he reflected and guessed,
74/19 But may he be cursed how he plotted;
74/20 Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
74/21 Then he looked,
74/22 Then he frowned and scowled,
74/23 Then he turned back and was big with pride,
74/24 ~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated(from others);
74/25 This is naught but the word of a mortal.
74/26 I will cast him into hell.
74/27 And what will make you realize what hell is?
74/28 It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
74/29 It scorches the mortal.
74/30 Over it are nineteen.
74/31 And We have not made the wardens of the fire othersthan angels, and We have not made their number but as atrial for those who disbelieve, that those who have beengiven the book may be certain and those who believe mayincrease in faith, and those who have been given the bookand the believers may not doubt, and that those in whosehearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What doesAllah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom Hepleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows thehosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but areminder to the mortals.
74/32 Nay; I swear by the moon,
74/33 And the night when it departs,
74/34 And the daybreak when it shines;
74/35 Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
74/36 A warning to mortals,
74/37 To him among you who wishes to go forward or remainbehind.
74/38 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
74/39 Except the people of the right hand,
74/40 In gardens, they shall ask each other
74/41 About the guilty:
74/42 What has brought you into hell?
74/43 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;
74/44 And we used not to feed the poor;
74/45 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those whoentered into vain discourses.
74/46 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
74/47 Till death overtook us.
74/48 So the intercession of intercessors shall not availthem.
74/49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn awayfrom the admonition
74/50 As if they were asses taking fright
74/51 That had fled from a lion?
74/52 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be givenpages spread out;
74/53 Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
74/54 Nay! it is surely an admonition.
74/55 So whoever pleases may mind it.
74/56 And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthyto be feared and worthy to forgive.
75/1 Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.
75/2 Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.
75/3 Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
75/4 Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips
75/5 Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
75/6 He asks: When is the day of resurrection?
75/7 So when the sight becomes dazed,
75/8 And the moon becomes dark,
75/9 And the sun and the moon are brought together,
75/10 Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
75/11 By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
75/12 With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place ofrest.
75/13 Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent beforeand (what he) put off.
75/14 Nay! man is evidence against himself,
75/15 Though he puts forth his excuses.
75/16 Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
75/17 Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and thereciting of it.
75/18 Therefore when We have recited it, follow itsrecitation.
75/19 Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
75/20 Nay! But you love the present life,
75/21 And neglect the hereafter.
75/22 (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
75/23 Looking to their Lord.
75/24 And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
75/25 Knowing that there will be made to befall them somegreat calamity.
75/26 Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
75/27 And it is said: Who will be a magician?
75/28 And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
75/29 And affliction is combined with affliction;
75/30 To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
75/31 So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
75/32 But called the truth a lie and turned back,
75/33 Then he went to his followers, walking away inhaughtiness.
75/34 Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
75/35 Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
75/36 Does man think that he is to be left to wander withoutan aim?
75/37 Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
75/38 Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) thenmade (him) perfect.
75/39 Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
75/40 Is not He able to give life to the dead?
76/1 There surely came over man a period of time when he was athing not worth mentioning.
76/2 Surely We have created man from a small life-germ uniting(itself): We mean to try him, so We have made him hearing,seeing.
76/3 Surely We have shown him the way: he may be thankful orunthankful.
76/4 Surely We have prepared for the unbelievers chains andshackles and a burning fire.
76/5 Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixtureof which is camphor
76/6 A fountain from which the servants of Allah shall drink;they make it to flow a (goodly) flowing forth.
76/7 They fulfill vows and fear a day the evil of which shallbe spreading far and wide.
76/8 And they give food out of love for Him to the poor andthe orphan and the captive:
76/9 We only feed you for Allah's sake; we desire from youneither reward nor thanks:
76/10 Surely we fear from our Lord a stern, distressful day.
76/11 Therefore Allah win guard them from the evil of that dayand cause them to meet with ease and happiness;
76/12 And reward them, because they were patient, with gardenand silk,
76/13 Reclining therein on raised couches, they shall findtherein neither (the severe heat of) the sun nor intensecold.
76/14 And close down upon them (shall be) its shadows, and itsfruits shall be made near (to them), being easy to reach.
76/15 And there shall be made to go round about them vesselsof silver and goblets which are of glass,
76/16 (Transparent as) glass, made of silver; they havemeasured them according to a measure.
76/17 And they shall be made to drink therein a cup theadmixture of which shall be ginger,
76/18 (Of) a fountain therein which is named Salsabil.
76/19 And round about them shall go youths never altering inage; when you see them you will think them to be scatteredpearls.
76/20 And when you see there, you shall see blessings and agreat kingdom.
76/21 Upon them shall be garments of fine green silk and thicksilk interwoven with gold, and they shall be adorned withbracelets of silver, and their Lord shall make them drink apure drink.
76/22 Surely this is a reward for you, and your striving shallbe recompensed.
76/23 Surely We Ourselves have revealed the Quran to yourevealing (it) in portions.
76/24 Therefore wait patiently for the command of your Lord,and obey not from among them a sinner or an ungrateful one.
76/25 And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening.
76/26 And during part of the night adore Him, and give gloryto Him (a) long (part of the) night.
76/27 Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievousday before them.
76/28 We created them and made firm their make, and when Weplease We will bring in their place the likes of them by achange.
76/29 Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes tohis Lord a way.
76/30 And you do not please except that Allah please, surelyAllah is Knowing, Wise;
76/31 He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and(as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painfulchastisement.
77/1 I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another(for men's benefit),
77/2 By the raging hurricanes,
77/3 Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
77/4 Then separate them one from another,
77/5 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
77/6 To clear or to warn.
77/7 Most surely what you are threatened with must come topass.
77/8 So when the stars are made to lose their light,
77/9 And when the heaven is rent asunder,
77/10 And when the mountains are carried away as dust,
77/11 And when the messengers are gathered at their appointedtime
77/12 To what day is the doom fixed?
77/13 To the day of decision.
77/14 And what will make you comprehend what the day ofdecision is?
77/15 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/16 Did We not destroy the former generations?
77/17 Then did We follow them up with later ones.
77/18 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.
77/19 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/20 Did We not create you from contemptible water?
77/21 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place,
77/22 Till an appointed term,
77/23 So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning(things).
77/24 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/25 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,
77/26 The living and the dead,
77/27 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drinkof sweet water?
77/28 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/29 Walk on to that which you called a lie.
77/30 Walk on to the covering having three branches,
77/31 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availingagainst the flame.
77/32 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,
77/33 As if they were tawny camels.
77/34 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/35 This is the day on which they shall not speak,
77/36 And permission shall not be given to them so that theyshould offer excuses.
77/37 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/38 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you andthose of yore.
77/39 So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).
77/40 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/41 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amidshades and fountains,
77/42 And fruits such as they desire.
77/43 Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.
77/44 Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.
77/45 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/46 Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you areguilty.
77/47 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/48 And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bowdown.
77/49 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
77/50 In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe?
78/1 Of what do they ask one another?
78/2 About the great event,
78/3 About which they differ?
78/4 Nay! they shall soon come to know
78/5 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
78/6 Have We not made the earth an even expanse?
78/7 And the mountains as projections (thereon)?
78/8 And We created you in pairs,
78/9 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),
78/10 And We made the night to be a covering,
78/11 And We made the day for seeking livelihood.
78/12 And We made above you seven strong ones,
78/13 And We made a shining lamp,
78/14 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forthabundantly,
78/15 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,
78/16 And gardens dense and luxuriant.
78/17 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:
78/18 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shallcome forth in hosts,
78/19 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be allopenings,
78/20 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shallremain a mere semblance.
78/21 Surely hell lies in wait,
78/22 A place of resort for the inordinate,
78/23 Living therein for ages.
78/24 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink
78/25 But boiling and intensely cold water,
78/26 Requital corresponding.
78/27 Surely they feared not the account,
78/28 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (tothe truth).
78/29 And We have recorded everything in a book,
78/30 So taste! for We will not add to you aught butchastisement.
78/31 Surely for those who guard (against evil) isachievement,
78/32 Gardens and vineyards,
78/33 And voluptuous women of equal age;
78/34 And a pure cup.
78/35 They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.
78/36 A reward from your Lord, a gift according to areckoning:
78/37 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what isbetween them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able toaddress Him.
78/38 The day on which the spirit and the angels shall standin ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the BeneficentAllah permits and who speaks the right thing.
78/39 That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refugewith his Lord.
78/40 Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near athand: the day when man shall see what his two hands havesent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that Iwere dust!
79/1 I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls ofthe wicked,
79/2 And by those who gently draw out the souls of theblessed,
79/3 And by those who float in space,
79/4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,
79/5 Then those who regulate the affair.
79/6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
79/7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
79/8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
79/9 Their eyes cast down.
79/10 They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) firststate?
79/11 What! when we are rotten bones?
79/12 They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
79/13 But it shall be only a single cry,
79/14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.
79/15 Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
79/16 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
79/17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
79/18 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
79/19 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you shouldfear.
79/20 So he showed him the mighty sign.
79/21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
79/22 Then he went back hastily.
79/23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.
79/24 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
79/25 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafterand the former life.
79/26 Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
79/27 Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
79/28 He raised high its height, then put it into a right goodstate.
79/29 And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
79/30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.
79/31 He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
79/32 And the mountains, He made them firm,
79/33 A provision for you and for your cattle.
79/34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;
79/35 The day on which man shall recollect what he stroveafter,
79/36 And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
79/37 Then as for him who is inordinate,
79/38 And prefers the life of this world,
79/39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
79/40 And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of hisLord and forbids the soul from low desires,
79/41 Then surely the garden-- that is the abode.
79/42 They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
79/43 About what! You are one to remind of it.
79/44 To your Lord is the goal of it.
79/45 You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
79/46 On the day that they see it, it will be as though theyhad not tarried but the latter part of a day or the earlypart of it.
80/1 He frowned and turned (his) back,
80/2 Because there came to him the blind man.
80/3 And what would make you know that he would purifyhimself,
80/4 Or become reminded so that the reminder should profithim?
80/5 As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
80/6 To him do you address yourself.
80/7 And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
80/8 And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
80/9 And he fears,
80/10 From him will you divert yourself.
80/11 Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
80/12 So let him who pleases mind it.
80/13 In honored books,
80/14 Exalted, purified,
80/15 In the hands of scribes
80/16 Noble, virtuous.
80/17 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!
80/18 Of what thing did He create him?
80/19 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made himaccording to a measure,
80/20 Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him)
80/21 Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,
80/22 Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.
80/23 Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.
80/24 Then let man look to his food,
80/25 That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down inabundance,
80/26 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,
80/27 Then We cause to grow therein the grain,
80/28 And grapes and clover,
80/29 And the olive and the palm,
80/30 And thick gardens,
80/31 And fruits and herbage
80/32 A provision for you and for your cattle.
80/33 But when the deafening cry comes,
80/34 The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,
80/35 And his mother and his father,
80/36 And his spouse and his son--
80/37 Every man of them shall on that day have an affair whichwill occupy him.
80/38 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright,
80/39 Laughing, joyous.
80/40 And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,
80/41 Darkness shall cover them.
80/42 These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.
81/1 When the sun is covered,
81/2 And when the stars darken,
81/3 And when the mountains are made to pass away,
81/4 And when the camels are left untended,
81/5 And when the wild animals are made to go forth,
81/6 And when the seas are set on fire,
81/7 And when souls are united,
81/8 And when the female infant buried alive is asked
81/9 For what sin she was killed,
81/10 And when the books are spread,
81/11 And when the heaven has its covering removed,
81/12 And when the hell is kindled up,
81/13 And when the garden is brought nigh,
81/14 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.
81/15 But nay! I swear by the stars,
81/16 That run their course (and) hide themselves,
81/17 And the night when it departs,
81/18 And the morning when it brightens,
81/19 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
81/20 The processor of strength, having an honorable placewith the Lord of the Dominion,
81/21 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
81/22 And your companion is not gone mad.
81/23 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
81/24 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
81/25 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
81/26 Whither then will you go?
81/27 It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
81/28 For him among you who pleases to go straight.
81/29 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lordof the worlds.
82/1 When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
82/2 And when the stars become dispersed,
82/3 And when the seas are made to flow forth,
82/4 And when the graves are laid open,
82/5 Every soul shall know what it has sent before and heldback.
82/6 O man ! what has beguiled you from your Lord, theGracious one,
82/7 Who created you, then made you complete, then made yousymmetrical?
82/8 Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
82/9 Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
82/10 And most surely there are keepers over you
82/11 Honorable recorders,
82/12 They know what you do.
82/13 Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
82/14 And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
82/15 They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
82/16 And they shall by no means be absent from it.
82/17 And what will make you realize what the day of judgementis?
82/18 Again, what will make you realize what the day ofjudgment Is?
82/19 The day on which no soul shall control anything for(another) soul; and the command on that day shall beentirely Allah's.
83/1 Woe to the defrauders,
83/2 Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from mentake it fully,
83/3 But when they measure out to others or weigh out forthem, they are deficient.
83/4 Do not these think that they shall be raised again
83/5 For a mighty day,
83/6 The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of theworlds?
83/7 Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in theSijjin.
83/8 And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
83/9 It is a written book.
83/10 Woe on that day to the rejecters,
83/11 Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
83/12 And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder oflimits, sinful one
83/13 When Our communications are recited to him, he says:Stories of those of yore.
83/14 Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust .upon their hearts.
83/15 Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred fromtheir Lord.
83/16 Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
83/17 Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
83/18 Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be inthe Iliyin.
83/19 And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
83/20 It is a written book,
83/21 Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
83/22 Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
83/23 On thrones, they shall gaze;
83/24 You will recognize in their faces the brightness ofbliss.
83/25 They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed(to others).
83/26 The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let theaspirers aspire.
83/27 And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
83/28 A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (toAllah).
83/29 Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those whobelieve.
83/30 And when they passed by them, they winked at oneanother.
83/31 And when they returned to their own followers theyreturned exulting.
83/32 And when they saw them, they said: Most surely theseare in error;
83/33 And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
83/34 So today those who believe shall laugh at theunbelievers;
83/35 On thrones, they will look.
83/36 Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
84/1 When the heaven bursts asunder,
84/2 And obeys its Lord and it must.
84/3 And when the earth is stretched,
84/4 And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
84/5 And obeys its Lord and it must.
84/6 O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, ahard striving until you meet Him.
84/7 Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
84/8 He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
84/9 And he shall go back to his people joyful.
84/10 And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
84/11 He shall call for perdition,
84/12 And enter into burning fire.
84/13 Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
84/14 Surely he thought that he would never return.
84/15 Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
84/16 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
84/17 And the night and that which it drives on,
84/18 And the moon when it grows full,
84/19 That you shall most certainly enter one state afteranother.
84/20 But what is the matter with them that they do notbelieve,
84/21 And when the Quran is recited to them they do not makeobeisance?
84/22 Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
84/23 And Allah knows best what they hide,
84/24 So announce to them a painful punishment~
84/25 Except those who believe and do good; for them is areward that shall never be cut off.
85/1 I swear by the mansions of the stars,
85/2 And the promised day,
85/3 And the bearer of witness and those against whom thewitness is borne.
85/4 Cursed be the makers of the pit,
85/5 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel,
85/6 When they sat by it,
85/7 And they were witnesses of what they did with thebelievers.
85/8 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught exceptthat they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised,
85/9 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; andAllah is a Witness of all things.
85/10 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing menand the believing women, then do not repent, they shall havethe chastisement of hell, and they shall have thechastisement of burning.
85/11 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, theyshall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is thegreat achievement.
85/12 Surely the might of your Lord is great.
85/13 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces,
85/14 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
85/15 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious,
85/16 The great doer of what He will.
85/17 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts,
85/18 Of Firon and Samood?
85/19 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving thelie to the truth.
85/20 And Allah encompasses them on every side.
85/21 Nay! it is a glorious Quran,
85/22 In a guarded tablet.
86/1 I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
86/2 And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
86/3 The star of piercing brightness;
86/4 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
86/5 So let man consider of what he is created:
86/6 He is created of water pouring forth,
86/7 Coming from between the back and the ribs.
86/8 Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
86/9 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
86/10 He shall have neither strength nor helper.
86/11 I swear by the raingiving heavens,
86/12 And the earth splitting (with plants);
86/13 Most surely it is a decisive word,
86/14 And it is no joke.
86/15 Surely they will make a scheme,
86/16 And I (too) will make a scheme.
86/17 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a
87/1 Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
87/2 Who creates, then makes complete,
87/3 And Who makes (things) according to a measure, thenguides (them to their goal),
87/4 And Who brings forth herbage,
87/5 Then makes it dried up, dust-colored.
87/6 We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
87/7 Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest,and what is hidden.
87/8 And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
87/9 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
87/10 He who fears will mind,
87/11 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
87/12 Who shall enter the great fire;
87/13 Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
87/14 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,
87/15 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
87/16 Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
87/17 While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
87/18 Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
87/19 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
88/1 Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelmingcalamity?
88/2 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast,
88/3 Laboring, toiling,
88/4 Entering into burning fire,
88/5 Made to drink from a boiling spring.
88/6 They shall have no food but of thorns,
88/7 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.
88/8 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy,
88/9 Well-pleased because of their striving,
88/10 In a lofty garden,
88/11 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.
88/12 Therein is a fountain flowing,
88/13 Therein are thrones raised high,
88/14 And drinking-cups ready placed,
88/15 And cushions set in a row,
88/16 And carpets spread out.
88/17 Will they not then consider the camels, how they arecreated?
88/18 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,
88/19 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,
88/20 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?
88/21 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.
88/22 You are not a watcher over them;
88/23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves,
88/24 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.
88/25 Surely to Us is their turning back,
88/26 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.
89/1 I swear by the daybreak,
89/2 And the ten nights,
89/3 And the even and the odd,
89/4 And the night when it departs.
89/5 Truly in that there is an oath for those who possessunderstanding.
89/6 Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
89/7 (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,
89/8 The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;
89/9 And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
89/10 And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,
89/11 Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
89/12 So they made great mischief therein?
89/13 Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of thechastisement.
89/14 Most sure!y your Lord is watching.
89/15 And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats himwith honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lordhonors me.
89/16 But when He tries him (differently), then straitens tohim his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgracedme.
89/17 Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
89/18 Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
89/19 And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything)indiscriminately,
89/20 And you love wealth with exceeding love.
89/21 Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
89/22 And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
89/23 And hell is made to appear on that day. On that dayshall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then)avail him?
89/24 He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this)my life!
89/25 But on that day shall no one chastise with (anythinglike) His chastisement,
89/26 And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
89/27 O soul that art at rest!
89/28 Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him),well-pleasing (Him),
89/29 So enter among My servants,
89/30 And enter into My garden.
90/1 Nay! I swear by this city.
90/2 And you shall be made free from obligation in this city--
90/3 And the begetter and whom he begot.
90/4 Certainly We have created man to be in distress.
90/5 Does he think that no one has power over him?
90/6 He shall say: I have wasted much wealth.
90/7 Does he think that no one sees him?
90/8 Have We not given him two eyes,
90/9 And a tongue and two lips,
90/10 And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?
90/11 But he would not attempt the uphill road,
90/12 And what will make you comprehend what the uphill roadis?
90/13 (It is) the setting free of a slave,
90/14 Or the giving of food in a day of hunger
90/15 To an orphan, having relationship,
90/16 Or to the poor man lying in the dust.
90/17 Then he is of those who believe and charge one anotherto show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.
90/18 These are the people of the right hand.
90/19 And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications,they are the people of the left hand.
90/20 On them is fire closed over.
91/1 I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
91/2 And the moon when it follows the sun,
91/3 And the day when it shows it,
91/4 And the night when it draws a veil over it,
91/5 And the heaven and Him Who made it,
91/6 And the earth and Him Who extended it,
91/7 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
91/8 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrongfor it;
91/9 He will indeed be successful who purifies it,
91/10 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
91/11 Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
91/12 When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
91/13 So Allah's messenger said to them (Leave alone) Allah'sshe-camel, and (give) her (to) drink.
91/14 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her,therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelledthem (with the ground).
91/15 And He fears not its consequence.
92/1 I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
92/2 And the day when it shines in brightness,
92/3 And the creating of the male and the female,
92/4 Your striving is most surely (directed to) various(ends).
92/5 Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
92/6 And accepts the best,
92/7 We will facilitate for him the easy end.
92/8 And as for him who is niggardly and considers himselffree from need (of Allah),
92/9 And rejects the best,
92/10 We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
92/11 And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
92/12 Surely Ours is it to show the way,
92/13 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
92/14 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
92/15 None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
92/16 Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
92/17 And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most(against evil),
92/18 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
92/19 And no one has with him any boon for which he should berewarded,
92/20 Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the MostHigh.
92/21 And he shall soon be well-pleased.
93/1 I swear by the early hours of the day,
93/2 And the night when it covers with darkness.
93/3 Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He becomedispleased,
93/4 And surely what comes after is better for you than thatwhich has gone before.
93/5 And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall bewell pleased.
93/6 Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
93/7 And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide(them to you)?
93/8 And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
93/9 Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
93/10 And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
93/11 And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
94/1 Have We not expanded for you your breast,
94/2 And taken off from you your burden,
94/3 Which pressed heavily upon your back,
94/4 And exalted for you your esteem?
94/5 Surely with difficulty is ease.
94/6 With difficulty is surely ease.
94/7 So when you are free, nominate.
94/8 And make your Lord your exclusive object.
95/1 I swear by the fig and the olive,
95/2 And mount Sinai,
95/3 And this city made secure,
95/4 Certainly We created man in the best make.
95/5 Then We render him the lowest of the low.
95/6 Except those who believe and do good, so they shall havea reward never to be cut off.
95/7 Then who can give you the lie after (this) about thejudgment?
95/8 Is not Allah the best of the Judges?
96/1 Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
96/2 He created man from a clot.
96/3 Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
96/4 Who taught (to write) with the pen
96/5 Taught man what he knew not.
96/6 Nay! man is most surely inordinate,
96/7 Because he sees himself free from want.
96/8 Surely to your Lord is the return.
96/9 Have you seen him who forbids
96/10 A servant when he prays?
96/11 Have you considered if he were on the right way,
96/12 Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
96/13 Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth andturns (his) back?
96/14 Does he not know that Allah does see?
96/15 Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite hisforehead,
96/16 A lying, sinful forehead.
96/17 Then let him summon his council,
96/18 We too would summon the braves of the army.
96/19 Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (toAllah).
97/1 Surely We revealed it on the grand night.
97/2 And what will make you comprehend what the grand night
97/3 The grand night is better than a thousand months.
97/4 The angels and Gibreel descend in it by the permission oftheir Lord for every affair,
97/5 Peace! it is till the break of the morning.
98/1 Those who disbelieved from among the followers of theBook and the polytheists could not have separated (from thefaithful) until there had come to them the clear evidence:
98/2 An messenger from Allah, reciting pure pages,
98/3 Wherein are all the right ordinances.
98/4 And those who were given the Book did not become dividedexcept after clear evidence had come to them.
98/5 And they were not enjoined anything except that theyshould serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience,upright, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and thatis the right religion.
98/6 Surely those who disbelieve from among the followers ofthe Book and the polytheists shall be in the fire of hell,abiding therein; they are the worst of men.
98/7 (As for) those who believe and do good, surely they arethe -best of men.
98/8 Their reward with their Lord is gardens of perpetuitybeneath which rivers flow, abiding therein for ever; Allahis well pleased with them and they are well pleased withHim; that is for him who fears his Lord.
99/1 When the earth is shaken with her (violent) shaking,
99/2 And the earth brings forth her burdens,
99/3 And man says: What has befallen her?
99/4 On that day she shall tell her news,
99/5 Because your Lord had inspired her.
99/6 On that day men shall come forth in sundry bodies thatthey may be shown their works.
99/7 So. he who has done an atom's weight of good shall see it
99/8 And he who has done an atom's weight of evil shall seeit.
100/1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
100/2 Then those that produce fire striking,
100/3 Then those that make raids at morn,
100/4 Then thereby raise dust,
100/5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
100/6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
100/7 And most surely he is a witness of that.
100/8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
100/9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves israised,
100/10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
100/11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware ofthem.
101/1 The terrible calamity!
101/2 What is the terrible calamity!
101/3 And what will make you comprehend what the terriblecalamity is?
101/4 The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
101/5 And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
101/6 Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
101/7 He shall live a pleasant life.
101/8 And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
101/9 His abode shall be the abyss.
101/10 And what will make you know what it is?
101/11 A burning fire.
102/1 Abundance diverts you,
102/2 Until you come to the graves.
102/3 Nay! you shall soon know,
102/4 Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
102/5 Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
102/6 You should most certainly have seen the hell;
102/7 Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye ofcertainty;
102/8 Then on that day you shall most certainly be questionedabout the boons.
103/1 I swear by the time,
103/2 Most surely man is in loss,
103/3 Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on eachother truth, and enjoin on each other patience.
104/1 Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
104/2 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (againstmishap);
104/3 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
104/4 Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushingdisaster,
104/5 And what will make you realize what the crushing disasteris?
104/6 It is the fire kindled by Allah,
104/7 Which rises above the hearts.
104/8 Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
104/9 In extended columns.
105/1 Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with thepossessors of the elephant?
105/2 Did He not cause their war to end in confusion,
105/3 And send down (to prey) upon them birds in flocks,
105/4 Casting against them stones of baked clay,
105/5 So He rendered them like straw eaten up?
106/1 For the protection of the Qureaish--
106/2 Their protection during their trading caravans in thewinter and the summer--
106/3 So let them serve the Lord of this House
106/4 Who feeds them against hunger and gives them securityagainst fear.
107/1 Have you considered him who calls the judgment a lie?
107/2 That is the one who treats the orphan with harshness,
107/3 And does not urge (others) to feed the poor.
107/4 So woe to the praying ones,
107/5 Who are unmindful of their prayers,
107/6 Who do (good) to be seen,
107/7 And withhold the necessaries of life.
108/1 Surely We have given you Kausar,
108/2 Therefore pray to your Lord and make a sacrifice.
108/3 Surely your enemy is the one who shall be withoutposterity,
109/1 Say: O unbelievers!
109/2 I do not serve that which you serve,
109/3 Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve:
109/4 Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,
109/5 Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve:
109/6 You shall have your religion and I shall have myreligion.
110/1 When there comes the help of Allah and the victory,
110/2 And you see men entering the religion of Allah incompanies,
110/3 Then celebrate the praise of your Lord, and ask Hisforgiveness; surely He is oft-returning (to mercy).
111/1 Perdition overtake both hands of Abu Lahab, and he willperish.
111/2 His wealth and what he earns will not avail him.
111/3 He shall soon burn in fire that flames,
111/4 And his wife, the bearer of fuel,
111/5 Upon her neck a halter of strongly twisted rope.
112/1 Say: He, Allah, is One.
112/2 Allah is He on Whom all depend.
112/3 He begets not, nor is He begotten.
112/4 And none is like Him.
113/1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn,
113/2 From the evil of what He has created,
113/3 And from the evil of the utterly dark night when itcomes,
113/4 And from the evil of those who blow on knots,
113/5 And from the evil of the envious when he envies
114/1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men,
114/2 The King of men,
114/3 The god of men,
114/4 From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking(Shaitan),
114/5 Who whispers into the hearts of men,
114/6 From among the jinn and the men.
