The Livestock - Chapter 6 | Contains 165 Verses – Mecca |
|
|
الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَالنُّورَ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِم يَعْدِلُونَ |
|
1- |
All praises and thanks to God, Who created
the heavens and the earth and established darkness and light.
Yet those who disbelieve, imagine others as equal with their Lord. |
|
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَى أَجَلًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسمًّى عِندَهُ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ |
|
2- |
He is the One, Who created you from clay
(substances of earth), He also decreed a term (for your life) and the duration of the determined time, is in His power and knowledge (as to when you will die), yet you are in doubt. |
|
وَهُوَ اللّهُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَفِي الأَرْضِ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ |
|
3- |
And He is God in heavens and earth,
(everywhere) He knows your secrets and what you reveal and He knows what (points) you earn (good or bad). |
|
وَمَا تَأْتِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ مِّنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ |
|
4- |
And not even one Verse (Lesson) of their Lord's Verses reaches them, except that they have been turning away from it. |
|
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُواْ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَاء مَا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ |
|
5- |
Indeed, they rejected and called the truth (the Quran)
as lies when it came to them, but then, the news of the truth of what they have been making fun of, will come to them (after their death). |
|
أَلَمْ
يَرَوْاْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ
مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّن لَّكُمْ
وَأَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَاء عَلَيْهِم مِّدْرَارًا وَجَعَلْنَا
الأَنْهَارَ تَجْرِي |
|
6- |
Don't they consider how many generations
before them, We destroyed, whom We had provided with strength,
such as We have not provide you with? And We poured abundant rain from the sky upon them and made rivers flow in their lowland; later We destroyed them because of their sins, and created other generation after them. |
|
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَابًا فِي قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
7- |
And even if We had sent down a written
Book in paper form, so that they could touch it with their
hands, the disbelievers would have said: "This is nothing but an obvious magic." |
|
وَقَالُواْ لَوْلا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ وَلَوْ أَنزَلْنَا مَلَكًا لَّقُضِيَ الأمْرُ ثُمَّ لاَ يُنظَرُونَ |
|
8- |
They (the disbelievers) said: "Why has not
an angel been sent down to him (Muhammad)?". Had We sent down an angel (, that would have meant), the matter would have been judged (by God, for their punishment), then they would not have been granted any opportunity (to think and repent). |
|
وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ مَلَكًا لَّجَعَلْنَاهُ رَجُلًا وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّا يَلْبِسُونَ |
|
9- |
And had We appointed him an angel, We
would have certainly made him (the angel) like a man and dressed him as they are dressed. (By that, We would have caused them certainly (more) confusion than what they already are in). |
|
وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ |
|
10- |
And indeed Messengers before you
(Muhammad) were made fun of, but they who mocked, were surrounded (and punished) by the very fact that they used to make fun of. |
|
قُلْ سِيرُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ انظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ |
|
11- |
(O Muhammad) Say (to them): "Travel in the land and then observe what was the end of those who rejected and belied the truth". |
|
قُل
لِّمَن مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ قُل لِلّهِ كَتَبَ عَلَى
نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ |
|
12- |
(O Muhammad) say: "To whom
belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth?". Say (to them): "It all belongs to God, He decided for Himself to have Mercy (by creation). Certainly He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection, in which there is and won't be any doubt (when you get there). Those who do not believe, are the ones who hurt themselves (thus cause harm to their own beings, by not believing)." |
|
وَلَهُ مَا سَكَنَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ |
|
13- |
"And to Him belongs whatsoever exists or
dwells during the night and the day and He is All Hearing, All Knowing." |
|
قُلْ أَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيًّا فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَهُوَ يُطْعِمُ وَلاَ يُطْعَمُ قُلْ إِنِّيَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكَينَ |
|
14- |
Say: "Am I supposed to imagine and accept a
protector or boss other than God, the Designer-Creator of the heavens and the earth? And He is the One who feeds but is not fed and never needs to eat. (O Muhammad) say: "I have been commanded (by God), to be in the forefront of those who submit themselves (to the guidance of God) and that you should not be of those people who take others as partners to God (as polytheists). |
|
قُلْ إِنِّيَ أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ |
|
15- |
Say: "I fear if I disobey my Lord, from the suffering of the Great Day (of Resurrection). |
|
مَّن يُصْرَفْ عَنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمَهُ وَذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِينُ |
|
16- |
If the suffering is kept away from
someone on that day, indeed He (God) has been Merciful to that person and that is an obvious success. |
|
وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلاَ كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدُيرٌ |
|
17- |
And if God lets a harm reach you, there
is none that can remove it, except He, and if He lets a goodness or blessing reach you, then of course He is Able and Determinant over all things. |
|
وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ |
|
18- |
And He is the Supreme Dominant over His Servants and He is the All Wise, All Aware. |
|
قُلْ
أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَادةً قُلِ اللّهِ شَهِيدٌ بِيْنِي
وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ لأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ
|
|
19- |
(O Muhammad) say: "What is the greatest thing
to bear witness to?", say (to them): "God is (the Greatest) to bear witness to and He is Witness between me and you and this Quran has been revealed to me, so that I may warn you and whomever it would reach (in the future). Do you really bear witness and have proof that besides God, there are gods (or deities)?" Say: "I don't bear witness to that and I don't attest such thing (that there is any partner to God)." Say: "He is in reality the only One worthy of worship and I keep myself off from what you join in worship with Him." |
|
الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَاءهُمُ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ |
|
20- |
Those, on whom We gave the Scripture
(the Jews and Christians) recognize him (Muhammad, by reading carefully the details of his coming in the Bible), Click link for the article just as they recognize their own sons. Those who have caused loss on themselves (by denial and prejudice), are the ones that won't believe. |
|
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِهِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ |
|
21- |
And who is more unjust than the one who
invented a lie against God (such as Paul who invented the Trinity into Christianity from Greek and Roman mythology) or belies and rejects His Verses and Evidences? Of course, the unjust people shall ultimately not succeed (in the Hereafter)! |
|
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآؤُكُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ |
|
22- |
On the Day, when We gather them altogether,
then We shall say to those who associated others in
divinity: "Where are your idols and partners and false gods that you used on imagining?" |
|
ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُن فِتْنَتُهُمْ إِلاَّ أَن قَالُواْ وَاللّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ |
|
23- |
Then their excuse will be none except saying:
"By God, our Lord, we were not those who believed in others as gods." |
|
انظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ |
|
24- |
Look, how they lied against themselves and
the lies that they used to fabricate (during their earthly existence with imaginary idols), disappeared from them. |
|
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ
أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَإِن يَرَوْاْ
كُلَّ آيَةٍ لاَّ يُؤْمِنُواْ |
|
25- |
And from amongst them are some who listen
to you, but (by their persistent denial,) We have let veils upon their hearts, so that do not understand it (the Quran) and We let (central) deafness in their ears and even if they would see any of the Verses and Evidences, they will not believe it, to the point that when they come to you, (they come only) to argue with you, the disbelievers then would say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancient people." |
|
وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْأَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَإِن يُهْلِكُونَ إِلاَّ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ |
|
26- |
And they hinder others from him (Muhammad and
from the Quran)
and they also keep themselves away from him (and the Quran), this way they only destroy their own being and personality but they don't get it. |
|
وَلَوْ تَرَىَ إِذْ وُقِفُواْ عَلَى النَّارِ فَقَالُواْ يَا لَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلاَ نُكَذِّبَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
|
27- |
If you could see their situation when
they are held at (Hell-) Fire, then they will say: "Woe to us, if only we could go back (to the world) and we would not deny the Verses and Lessons of our Lord and we would be also of the believers." |
|
بَلْ بَدَا لَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُخْفُونَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَوْ رُدُّواْ لَعَادُواْ لِمَا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ |
|
28- |
Not so, but in reality what they kept on
hiding (the truth) before, has manifested to them (in that
moment), and if they are permitted back (to the worldly life), they would certainly go back to their routine of behaving against that which they were forbidden and they are indeed liars. |
|
وَقَالُواْ إِنْ هِيَ إِلاَّ حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ |
|
29- |
And they used to say: "There is no life other than our life on this world and we won't be ever raised up (after death)." |
|
وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذْ وُقِفُواْ عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِالْحَقِّ قَالُواْ بَلَى وَرَبِّنَا قَالَ فَذُوقُواْ العَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ |
|
30- |
If you could see the situation when they are
put to question by their Lord, He will say: "Is this (Resurrection and the checking of the accounts of worldly behavior) not true?", they will say: "Yes, by our Lord". He will say: "So then taste the suffering, because you used not to believe and kept on denying (the truth)." |
|
قَدْ
خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَاء اللّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا
جَاءتْهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً قَالُواْ يَا حَسْرَتَنَا |
|
31- |
Certainly those who belied the Meeting
with God (in the Hereafter) are the losers, to the point when the moment (of realization) suddenly happens to them (after death), they would say: "What a pity for us that we neglected it," while bearing their burdens (of denials and sins) on their backs; evil is indeed (the burdens) what they will be bearing. |
|
وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَلَلدَّارُ الآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ |
|
32- |
And the life of this world is nothing
but play and amusement. But indeed the home of the Hereafter is the better choice and aim for people who are God-conscious, pious. So then won't you reason and understand? |
|
قَدْ نَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُ لَيَحْزُنُكَ الَّذِي يَقُولُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَلَكِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ |
|
33- |
We, of course are Aware that what they
(the disbelievers) say, causes you sadness; they are not (only) belying you, but it is the Verses of God that the oppressors of truth, the wrong-doers are challenging. |
|
وَلَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَصَبَرُواْ عَلَى مَا كُذِّبُواْ وَأُوذُواْ حَتَّى أَتَاهُمْ نَصْرُنَا وَلاَ مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِ اللّهِ وَلَقدْ جَاءكَ مِن نَّبَإِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ |
|
34- |
Indeed the Messengers before you were
also denied and rejected, but then they were patient on what they (the disbelievers) rejected and they were hurt, till Our Help reached them. And no one can change the Words (of Decisions) of God. Surely some of the news of the life of the Messengers has already reached you (by earlier Verses). |
|
وَإِن
كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكَ إِعْرَاضُهُمْ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَن
تَبْتَغِيَ نَفَقًا فِي الأَرْضِ أَوْ سُلَّمًا فِي السَّمَاء
فَتَأْتِيَهُم |
|
35- |
Also if their keeping away (from the
truth) is hard on you, imagine even if you could try to dig in the earth or seek a ladder or means of going to the sky to bring them a proof, (they would still not believe in the truth). And if God had willed, He certainly could have gathered them (by force) all on the true guidance (but God gave them choice), so don't be of those who are ignorant (of God's decision for the choice that He gave to mankind). |
|
إِنَّمَا يَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ وَالْمَوْتَى يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللّهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ |
|
36- |
Only those who listen (to learn), accept
(the Message of God), but as for the dead (-hearted, the
disbelievers), God will raise them up (at Resurrection), then to Him they will be made to return (for questioning). |
|
وَقَالُواْ لَوْلاَ نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ قُلْ إِنَّ اللّهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَن يُنَزِّلٍ آيَةً وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
37- |
And they said: "Why has not a sign (or
miracle) been sent down to him (the prophet)?" Say: "Certainly God is Capable to send a sign, but most of them do not know. (that the Quran with its Revelations is great Miracle) 1 |
|
وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلاَّ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ |
|
38- |
There is no moving (living) creature
on earth, nor any bird that flies with its two wings, except that they are connected communities, similar to yours; We have not neglected mentioning anything in the Book (The Quran), then they (all living moving beings) shall be gathered back to their Lord. |
|
وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ مَن يَشَإِ اللّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَمَن يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ |
|
39- |
Those who reject our Verses, are deaf and
dumb in the darkness (of ignorance). Whomever God wants, lets astray (because of their persistent rejection) and whom He wills, (and that person wants to be guided,) He guides and puts that person onto the straight and correct way of life. |
|
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُكُم إِنْ أَتَاكُمْ عَذَابُ اللّهِ أَوْ أَتَتْكُمُ السَّاعَةُ أَغَيْرَ اللّهِ تَدْعُونَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ |
|
40- |
(O Muhammad) say
: "Have you considered, if God's punishment reaches you
or when the Hour (of hardship or Resurrection) comes upon you, would you call anyone other than God? If you are truthful (, answer this question). |
|
بَلْ إِيَّاهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شَاء وَتَنسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ |
|
41- |
Of course not, but to Him Alone you would
call, then He will remove the distress for which you call upon Him, if He wills and you would forget at the time, whatever false partners you had imagined along with His power. |
|
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلنَآ إِلَى أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْبَأْسَاء وَالضَّرَّاء لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ |
|
42- |
Indeed, We sent (Messengers and Messages)
to many nations before your time. Then (when they disobeyed and rejected), We caught them by distress and severe losses, so that they might (get the point and) pray humbly. |
|
فَلَوْلا إِذْ جَاءهُمْ بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُواْ وَلَكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
43- |
Why then some, on whom Our punishment of
distress arrived, did not pray humbly, instead their hearts became hardened? That is because Satan made their acts and behavior seem fair to them. |
|
فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُواْ بِمَا أُوتُواْ أَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ |
|
44- |
Then when they forgot the warning, to
which they were reminded, We (temporarily) opened for them the doors of every (pleasant) thing (giving them more chance to be tested), till while enjoying whatever they were provided with, suddenly We seized them, then they were down in despair, sorrow and regrets. |
|
فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ |
|
45- |
That way, the roots of evil people who
kept on doing wrongs, were cut off and all praises are due to God,
the Lord of the worlds and the Lord of all which exist. |
|
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَخَذَ اللّهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَأَبْصَارَكُمْ وَخَتَمَ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُم مَّنْ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ اللّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الآيَاتِ ثُمَّ هُمْ يَصْدِفُونَ |
|
46- |
Say (to the unbelievers): "Have you
considered if God would take away your hearing and your sight
and would seal off your hearts (so you could not then understand), who is other than God, powerful enough to restore them for you?" Look how extensively We explain our Verses (so that they might understand and believe), yet they turn away (from the Truth). |
|
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَاكُمْ عَذَابُ اللّهِ بَغْتَةً أَوْ جَهْرَةً هَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الظَّالِمُونَ |
|
47- |
Say: "Have you considered if the
punishment of God comes to you suddenly or openly (expectedly),
will any (of you) be totally destroyed except the wrong-doing people? (Meaning lasting destruction of personality of a human being) |
|
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلاَّ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ فَمَنْ آمَنَ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ |
|
48- |
And We have sent no Messengers, but as
givers of good news (to good people) and as warners to the bad ones.
So whoever believes, does self-improvement and does good righteous works, there shall not be any fear on such persons, nor shall they be sad (in the the Hereafter) |
|
وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا يَمَسُّهُمُ الْعَذَابُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ |
|
49- |
As for those who reject Our Verses,
the punishment for their denial and disobedience (of Our Guidance) will reach them. |
|
قُل
لاَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَآئِنُ اللّهِ وَلا أَعْلَمُ
الْغَيْبَ وَلا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ |
|
50- |
(O Muhammad) say: "I am not telling you
that I have control over God's Treasures and I do not know (see) the invisibles, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what has been revealed to me." Say: "Is a blind person and one who can see (the truth) in equal position? Won't you give then some thought (to it)?" |
|
وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُواْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلاَ شَفِيعٌ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ |
|
51- |
And warn by it (by the Quran) those who
(may) fear that they will be gathered to their Lord, when there is no one as a protector, nor as an ally or as an intercessor (or means of help) other than He (God), perhaps they become God-conscious, (respecting God's Commandments). |
|
وَلاَ
تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ
يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم |
|
52- |
And do not disregard or turn away those
(not wealthy people) who call, praying to their Lord, mornings and evenings, seeking the privilege of His approval. You are not responsible for their accounts, neither do they have anything to do with your account (of deeds), so if you turn them away, you would then be of the unjust people. |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لِّيَقُولواْ أَهَؤُلاء مَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّن بَيْنِنَا أَلَيْسَ اللّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ |
|
53- |
That way We test some people (by their
wealth) compared to other people, as they might say:
"Are those (poor believers), people favored by God from amongst us?" Is God not Best-Aware of the grateful (and of the ungrateful) people? |
|
وَإِذَا جَاءكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلاَمٌ
عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ أَنَّهُ
مَن عَمِلَ مِنكُمْ |
|
54- |
And when people who believe in Our Verses
come to you, tell them: "Peace be on you, your Lord has ever decided Mercy by Him, so that indeed anyone of you has done evil by ignorance, then thereafter turns to God, repents and does good (to correct his or her wrongdoing, should know that), He is surely Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people), |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ نفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ |
|
55- |
And that way We explain the Verses of
Guidance in detail, so that the route of choice for the sinners
become clear (do they want to continue their life in sins or turn to God and repent and improve their situation). |
|
قُلْ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ قُل لاَّ أَتَّبِعُ أَهْوَاءكُمْ قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذًا وَمَا أَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ |
|
56- |
Tell (them O Muhammad): "I am forbidden
to worship those whom you call (in worship) other than God." Also say: "I do not follow your desires (to worship other than God). Of course I would go astray into wrong direction if I did that and I would then not be of those truly guided ones. |
|
قُلْ إِنِّي عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي وَكَذَّبْتُم بِهِ مَا عِندِي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلّهِ يَقُصُّ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْفَاصِلِينَ |
|
57- |
(O Muhammad) say: "I am on a path of
clarification from my Lord, (on believing in the One Invisible
God), but you deny it (the truth of my inspiration). I have no authority on what you are asking impatiently (punishment to prove if I am right). The decision rests only with God, He declares the truth and He is the Best of all Judges." |
|
قُل لَّوْ أَنَّ عِندِي مَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِ لَقُضِيَ الأَمْرُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَاللّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالظَّالِمِين |
|
58- |
Say: "If I had the power on what you keep
asking (for the punishment) impatiently, the matter would had been settled right away between me and you, but God (with His Patience and Mercy) knows best (how to deal with) unjust sinners. |
|
وَعِندَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا إِلاَّ هُوَ
وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِن
وَرَقَةٍ إِلاَّ يَعْلَمُهَا |
|
59- |
And by Him (in His Knowledge) lie the keys
of the unseen secrets, which no one knows except He. And He knows whatever is on or in the land or the sea; not even a leaf falls, but that He knows it and there is not even a grain in the darknesses of the earth and not a thing wet or dry except that it is all recorded in an explanatory Book (of God's Design Scheme). |
|
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُم بِاللَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِالنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُكُمْ فِيهِ لِيُقْضَى أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |
|
60- |
And He is the One who takes your
consciousness away by night (when you sleep) and knows what you had performed during the day, then He raises you up (from sleep) into it (another day) for the time (of your life) to pass till a predetermined time (of death). Then to Him will be your return (into His custody). Then He will inform you of all that you had been doing. |
|
وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُم حَفَظَةً حَتَّىَ إِذَا جَاء أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لاَ يُفَرِّطُونَ |
|
61- |
He is the Supreme Master and Dominant over His
Servants and He sends guardian angels over you till the time when death arrives upon each of you, when our angel-messengers take up his (or her) soul and they never neglect their duties. |
|
ثُمَّ رُدُّواْ إِلَى اللّهِ مَوْلاَهُمُ الْحَقِّ أَلاَ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ الْحَاسِبِينَ |
|
62- |
Then they are returned (delivered) to
God, their Rightful Master. Be aware, Judgment is His, and He is the Most Swift of account-takers ! |
|
قُلْ مَن يُنَجِّيكُم مِّن ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً لَّئِنْ أَنجَانَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ |
|
63- |
(O Muhammad) say: "Who rescues you from
the darknesses of the land and the sea, while you call upon Him in humility and in secret (saying): "If He (God) would save us from this mess, we would certainly be so grateful." |
|
قُلِ اللّهُ يُنَجِّيكُم مِّنْهَا وَمِن كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ |
|
64- |
(O Muhammad) say: "God rescues you from this and from all distresses, yet thereafter you give credit to others also!" |
|
قُلْ
هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِّن
فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ
شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُم بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ |
|
65- |
Say: "He is Capable to cause torment
(suffering) on you from above you (like storms) or from below your feet (like earthquakes and floods) or cover you with the dilemma of difference and disarray into groups and let you taste the violence of one another." See how extensively We explain the Verses (and Lessons of the Quran), so that they might get the point. |
|
وَكَذَّبَ بِهِ قَوْمُكَ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ قُل لَّسْتُ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ |
|
66- |
(Despite all this explanations,) your
people (O Muhammad) have denied it (the Quran), whereas it is absolutely the truth. Say (to them O Muhammad): "I am not going to be your protective defender (on Judgment Day)," |
|
لِّكُلِّ نَبَإٍ مُّسْتَقَرٌّ وَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ |
|
67- |
For every news and information (that God
gives in the Quran), there is a reality of its place and its time of happening and you shall know it (in the future) |
|
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ
عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَخُوضُواْ فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ |
|
68- |
And when you (Mohammad or other Muslims)
notice that people are engaged in false conversation about Our Verses (of the Quran), mocking at them, get away from them till they turn to another topic. And if Satan causes you to forget (this order), then after remembering, do not sit in the company of the evil unjust people. |
|
وَمَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ وَلَكِن ذِكْرَى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ |
|
69- |
There is no responsibility on the
God-conscious people of the accounts of the evil people, but it is good to remind them, so that they may stop and avoid doing evil, |
|
وَذَرِ
الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمْ لَعِبًا وَلَهْوًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ
الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَذَكِّرْ بِهِ أَن تُبْسَلَ نَفْسٌ بِمَا
كَسَبَتْ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلاَ شَفِيعٌ |
|
70- |
And leave alone those who take their religion
as a play and amusement (to make fun of it) and whom the (attractions of) the life of this world has deceived and misled. But do remind (people) to it (the Quran), otherwise a person will be so involved in self-destruction by his or her deeds that there is no way that person could have (any salvage), any protector or ally-intercessor other than God (on the Judgment Day), and if he or she would try any ransom or bail, it won't be accepted from those who got themselves messed up by their acts of misdeeds. For them, there will be a drink of boiling fluid and a painful suffering because they used to deny and disbelieve. |
|
قُلْ
أَنَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مَا لاَ يَنفَعُنَا وَلاَ يَضُرُّنَا
وَنُرَدُّ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَانَا اللّهُ
كَالَّذِي اسْتَهْوَتْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فِي الأَرْضِ |
|
71- |
Say: "Shall we call and pray to other gods
beside God, who can do us no good or harm and turn back on our heels (return to the previous regime of many gods), after God has guided us, like the one whom devils have made confused in the land (not knowing right from wrong). Anxious and worried about him, (some companions of him, they) call him to guidance, (saying): "Come to us". Say: "God's Guidance is the real guidance and we have been ordered (by God) to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds, Lord of all that exist." |
|
وَأَنْ أَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاةَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَهُوَ الَّذِيَ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ |
|
72- |
"And to keep up with regular prayer and to avoid disobeying him and He is the One, to whom all of you shall be gathered". |
|
وَهُوَ
الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَيَوْمَ
يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ وَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ
يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ |
|
73- |
And He is the One who created the heavens and
the earth for manifestation of the Truth, and any time He would command, saying: "Be!", it is (whatever He commands to be). His Word is the Truth and to Him belongs the dominion and mastery on the Day when it will be blown in the Trumpet (on the Day of Resurrection). (He is) the All Knowing of all the unseen and the visibly evident and He is the All Wise, All Aware (of all happenings). |
|
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لأَبِيهِ آزَرَ أَتَتَّخِذُ أَصْنَامًا آلِهَةً إِنِّي أَرَاكَ وَقَوْمَكَ فِي ضَلاَلٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
74- |
And remind when Abraham said to his father
Azar: "Do you take idols as gods? I really see you and your people in clear and evident error." |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ نُرِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِنِينَ |
|
75- |
And that way, We showed Abraham the Control
of the heavens and earth (by God), so that he would be of those who believe with certainty. |
|
فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلُ رَأَى كَوْكَبًا قَالَ هَذَا رَبِّي فَلَمَّا أَفَلَ قَالَ لا أُحِبُّ الآفِلِينَ |
|
76- |
Along this way (of gaining certainty), when
night covered him with darkness, he saw a star. He said: "Is this my Lord?". But when it set, he said: "I don't like (to worship things that go down)!" |
|
فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَمَرَ بَازِغًا قَالَ هَذَا رَبِّي فَلَمَّا أَفَلَ قَالَ لَئِن لَّمْ يَهْدِنِي رَبِّي لأكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الضَّالِّينَ |
|
77- |
Then when he noted the moon rising up, he
said: "Is this my Lord?" But when it also set, he said (to himself): "If my true Lord does not guide me, I would be among those who went the wrong direction." |
|
فَلَمَّا رَأَى الشَّمْسَ بَازِغَةً قَالَ هَذَا رَبِّي هَذَآ أَكْبَرُ فَلَمَّا أَفَلَتْ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ |
|
78- |
Later when he saw the sun rising up; he said:
"Is this my lord?, this is bigger." But when it also set, he said: "O My people, I am indeed free of and I dislike whatever you imagine as partners (to God)." |
|
إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ |
|
79- |
For my part, I certainly concentrate my
attention to the One, who has created the heavens and earth, in sincere purity and I am not of those who associate others to God (and His Godliness)." |
|
وَحَآجَّهُ قَوْمُهُ قَالَ أَتُحَاجُّونِّي
فِي اللّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَانِ وَلاَ أَخَافُ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ
إِلاَّ أَن يَشَاءَ رَبِّي شَيْئًا |
|
80- |
His people also disputed and argued with him.
He said: "Are you arguing with me about God, whereas He indeed guided me to the Truth and I have no fear of whatever (idols) you associate with Him, except whatever my Lord would want (to cause harm). My Lord's Knowledge widely encompasses everything. Will you then not think (about it)? |
|
وَكَيْفَ أَخَافُ مَا أَشْرَكْتُمْ وَلاَ تَخَافُونَ أَنَّكُمْ أَشْرَكْتُم بِاللّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَانًا فَأَيُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالأَمْنِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ |
|
81- |
"And how could I have fear of those idols
that you associate in worship to God and you don't fear that you are indeed associating in worship with God, things for which He has sent down no permission or authority for you to worship those things. So which party is more deserving to have security (you idol-worshipers or I)? I wish that you knew it" |
|
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُواْ إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمُ الأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ |
|
82- |
Those who believe (in the Oneness of God) and
don't mess up their faith with injustice (worshipping others as well), are the ones with real security (in faith) and they are the guided people. |
|
وَتِلْكَ حُجَّتُنَا آتَيْنَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَّن نَّشَاء إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ |
|
83- |
And that was Our proof (of the Oneness of
God), which We gave Abraham to present to his folks. We raise (by guidance) the status of whomever We want, by degrees. Certainly your Lord is All Wise, All Knowing. |
|
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ كُلاًّ هَدَيْنَا وَنُوحًا
هَدَيْنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُودَ |
|
84- |
And we gifted him (the birth of his son)
Isaac and (his grandson) Jacob, each of them We guided and before him, We guided Noah, and among his descendant relatives were: David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron. That way, We reward good behaving people (who believe in the One God and bring up their families in that direction). |
|
وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيَى وَعِيسَى وَإِلْيَاسَ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ |
|
85- |
Also Zachariya, John, Jesus and Elias, all of which were righteous people, |
|
وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَالْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطًا وَكُلاًّ فضَّلْنَا عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ |
|
86- |
And Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot and each of them We preferred above all people (of their times), |
|
وَمِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَإِخْوَانِهِمْ وَاجْتَبَيْنَاهُمْ وَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ |
|
87- |
And also some of their fathers and their
descendants, and their brothers and We chose them and We guided them to the straight correct way (of life). |
|
ذَلِكَ هُدَى اللّهِ يَهْدِي بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُواْ لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
88- |
This is the Guidance of God, by which He
guides whom He wills of his servants. But if they associate in worship others along with God, the benefit of all their efforts will become, of course worthless, invalid, cancelled. |
|
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ فَإِن يَكْفُرْ بِهَا هَؤُلاء فَقَدْ وَكَّلْنَا بِهَا قَوْمًا لَّيْسُواْ بِهَا بِكَافِرِينَ |
|
89- |
Those were people whom We granted the Book,
the Rule of Law and the Prophethood and even though some of the people disbelieve in that, We have indeed appointed and entrusted it to some people (such as Muhammad) who have not been disbelievers in that matter. |
|
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللّهُ فَبِهُدَاهُمُ اقْتَدِهْ قُل لاَّ أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرَى لِلْعَالَمِينَ |
|
90- |
Those were people whom God guided, so follow
along their guidance. Say: "I do not ask you any reward for this (Quran). It is only a reminder for all the inhabitants of the world." |
|
وَمَا
قَدَرُواْ اللّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ إِذْ قَالُواْ مَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ
عَلَى بَشَرٍ مِّن شَيْءٍ |
|
91- |
They (the Jews and the pagans in Arabia at
the time of announcement of the Quran,) did not appreciate God's Grandeur, which is due to Him, when they (the Jews and pagans) said: "God did not send any revelation to any human being." Say (O Muhammad): "Who then sent down the Book that Moses brought, which was a source of light and guidance for people, which you (the Jews) put it up into separate sheets, showing it off, but concealing and hiding much (of it) and now you (believers) have been taught (through the Quran) that which neither you, nor your forefathers did not know". Say: "God" (sent the Torah down to Moses). Thereafter leave them play (with words) in their useless discussions. |
|
وَهَذَا كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مُبَارَكٌ مُّصَدِّقُ الَّذِي بَيْنَ
يَدَيْهِ وَلِتُنذِرَ أُمَّ الْقُرَى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا |
|
92- |
And this Book (the Quran), We sent down as a
source of blessing, confirming the available revelations (before
it), so that you (Muhammad) may warn the inhabitants of the mother of towns (the main town Mecca) and all those living around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter, believe in it and they keep up guarding their regular prayers. |
|
وَمَنْ
أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ قَالَ
أُوْحِيَ إِلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُوحَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ |
|
93- |
And who could be more unjust than the one who
would invent a lie about God or claim: "A revelation has come to me (as a prophet)"? Whereas no revelation at all came to him, also the one who would say: "I will reveal the like of what God revealed." If you could only see such evildoers in the agonies of death when the angels (of death) reach forward their hands, (saying): "Give up and deliver your souls, this day and time you will be given the suffering of humiliation, because of what you used to say, without any right about and against God and you used to be disrespectful and arrogant toward His Verses (of the Quran)." |
|
وَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَادَى كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ
مَرَّةٍ وَتَرَكْتُم مَّا خَوَّلْنَاكُمْ وَرَاء ظُهُورِكُمْ وَمَا
نَرَى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَاءكُمُ |
|
94- |
(God will say:) Indeed, you have come to Us
alone, as We had created you the first time and you have left behind your backs all that We had granted on you, Also We do not see your allies or intercessors with you, which you imagined to be partners for you, indeed all relations has been cut off between you and vanished from you, all that you used to imagine (that they would help you). |
|
إِنَّ اللّهَ فَالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَمُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتِ مِنَ الْحَيِّ ذَلِكُمُ اللّهُ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ |
|
95- |
Indeed, God is the Splitter of the seed-grain
and the fruit-stone (to sprout and grow). He brings living beings from the dead matter, and He brings dead out of living being. That is God (who does that), then how come you are away from the truth? |
|
فَالِقُ الإِصْبَاحِ وَجَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ سَكَنًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ حُسْبَانًا ذَلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ |
|
96- |
(He is) the Breaker of the dawn (of the day)
and He made the night a means of rest and the sun and the moon floating, as means of accounting of time. This is the decision-determination of the All Mighty, the All Knowing. |
|
وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ النُّجُومَ لِتَهْتَدُواْ بِهَا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
97- |
And He is the One, Who placed the stars, for
you, to be guided by them in the darknesses of the land and the
sea. We have indeed explained the Signs and the Verses for people who know (how to understand the Truth). |
|
وَهُوَ الَّذِيَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَفْقَهُونَ |
|
98- |
And He is the One, Who designed and created
you from a single (human) personality, also in a residing place (the human body) and in a storage condition (after the death), We have explained the Signs and the Verses in detail for people who understand. |
|
وَهُوَ
الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ نَبَاتَ
كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ خَضِرًا نُّخْرِجُ مِنْهُ
حَبًّا مُّتَرَاكِبًا |
|
99- |
And He is the One, Who sent down (rain)
water from the sky, t hen We brought forth by it vegetation and plants of all kinds, thus We brought forth greenery and green shoots, from which sprout clustered grain. And out of date-palm and its fruit branches, come forth bunches of dates hanging low and near, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, similar and yet different (in their taste and shapes). Just look at their fruits when He causes them to begin to bear fruits and to become ripe. Certainly in these observations, there are Signs (of God's Creativity) for people who believe (in God's Absolute Mastery). |
|
وَجَعَلُواْ لِلّهِ شُرَكَاء الْجِنَّ وَخَلَقَهُمْ وَخَرَقُواْ لَهُ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ |
|
100- |
Yet (ignorant people) assumed partners of the
Jinn race to God (in Creation and Dominion), whereas He (God) created them all and they also falsely and without any knowledge attributed sons and daughters to Him, (Glory be to Him,) He is beyond and above all this nonsense that they describe and attribute to Him. 2 |
|
بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُ صَاحِبَةٌ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ |
|
101- |
He is the Originator of the heavens and
earth. How could there be children of Him when He never has any wife? And He created everything. He is All-Knowing of everything. |
|
ذَلِكُمُ اللّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَاعْبُدُوهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ |
|
102- |
Such is God, your Lord. No one is worthy of
worship except He; the Creator of everything. So worship only Him. And He is the Guardian over all things. |
|
لاَّ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ |
|
103- |
Eyes can not grasp or see Him, but He
perceives and sees all eyes (which He created them all). He is All-Aware of all details and Well-Acquainted. |
|
قَدْ جَاءكُم بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ فَمَنْ أَبْصَرَ فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ عَمِيَ فَعَلَيْهَا وَمَا أَنَاْ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ |
|
104- |
Truly (by the Quran), means of insight,
perception and understanding have reached you from your Lord.
So whoever wants to see the truth, is doing favor to himself or herself and whoever wants to be blind, is harming self and (say Muhammad that:) "I am not your protector or defender." |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الآيَاتِ وَلِيَقُولُواْ دَرَسْتَ وَلِنُبَيِّنَهُ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
105- |
Even though this way, We extensively explain
(Our) Signs and Verses, yet they (the disbelievers) would say: "You (Muhammad) have studied (this from previous Books)", and We certainly intend to make it (clear) for people who have gained the knowledge |
|
اتَّبِعْ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ |
|
106- |
Follow that which has been revealed to you
from your Lord, (O Muhammad); there is none worthy of worship except He and avoid associating with non-monotheists (people who worship other than the One God). |
|
وَلَوْ شَاء اللّهُ مَا أَشْرَكُواْ وَمَا جَعَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ |
|
107- |
If God had willed (by compulsion), they would
not have taken other than Him in worship (but God let them have choice in their behavior) and We did not appoint you as a guardian over them (to force them not to worship other than God), also you are not their defending attorney. |
|
وَلاَ تَسُبُّواْ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ فَيَسُبُّواْ اللّهَ عَدْوًا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ كَذَلِكَ زَيَّنَّا لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ عَمَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّهِم مَّرْجِعُهُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
108- |
And do not insult those who call in worship
others than God, since they (the disbelievers) would insult God out of animosity, without any knowledge (by ignorance). Thus we have let seem fair the action of each people to themselves, then the end return of all will be to their true Lord and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do (during their life). |
|
وَأَقْسَمُواْ بِاللّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِن جَاءتْهُمْ آيَةٌ لَّيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا الآيَاتُ عِندَ اللّهِ وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْ أَنَّهَا إِذَا جَاءتْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ |
|
109- |
They swear by God in strongest oaths that if
a sign of a miracle would come to them, they would believe in
it. (O Muhammad) say: "Miracles are with God (and by His decision) and how do you know, even if miracles would arrive, they still won't believe. |
|
وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ وَأَبْصَارَهُمْ كَمَا لَمْ يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ |
|
110- |
And we let their hearts and their eyes avoid
perceiving (the guidance and miracles), just as they refused to believe in it in the first place and we let them wander blindly in their rebellion and trespassing |
|
وَلَوْ أَنَّنَا نَزَّلْنَا إِلَيْهِمُ الْمَلآئِكَةَ وَكَلَّمَهُمُ الْمَوْتَى وَحَشَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قُبُلًا مَّا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْ إِلاَّ أَن يَشَاءَ اللّهُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَجْهَلُونَ |
|
111- |
And even if We had sent down to them angels
and the dead would speak to them and if We would gather all beings to them (as miracles) before their own eyes, they would still not have believed in, unless God had willed so, but most of them behave in an ignorant manner. |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا شَيَاطِينَ الإِنسِ
وَالْجِنِّ يُوحِي بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ |
|
112- |
And so We have let for every prophet, enemies
as devils in mankind and Jinns,
3 some inspiring others by arranged speech and words, in a deceptive manner. And if your Lord had willed (by force and compulsion), they would have not done it, (but God let them have choice,) so leave them alone and with whatever words they fabricate. |
|
وَلِتَصْغَى إِلَيْهِ أَفْئِدَةُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ وَلِيَرْضَوْهُ وَلِيَقْتَرِفُواْ مَا هُم مُّقْتَرِفُونَ |
|
113- |
And this way, the hearts of those who do not
believe in the Hereafter, have tendency to such (deceit) and that they become happy with it and so they become committed to (all kinds of sins and evil acts). |
|
أَفَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَبْتَغِي حَكَمًا وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنَزَلَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكِتَابَ مُفَصَّلًا وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ |
|
114- |
(Say:) "Shall I seek a Judge other than God?
While He is the One who sent down to you the Book (the Quran) in detail." Those on whom We had given the Scripture (the Torah and the Gospel) know (in their hearts) that it (the Quran) is revealed from your Lord for explaining the truth. So do not be of those who remain in doubt. |
|
وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا لاَّ مُبَدِّلِ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ |
|
115- |
And the Word of your Lord is being completed
in truth and justice (in the Quran), no one can change His Words and He is the All Hearing, All Knowing. |
|
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلاَّ الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلاَّ يَخْرُصُونَ |
|
116- |
And if you would obey the majority of those
on earth, they would mislead you badly, away from the way of
God. They do not follow (in their religion) other than guessing and they are only occupied by lies and untruths (such as keep on misrepresenting Jesus, son of Mary as God or as son of God). |
|
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ |
|
117- |
Of course your Lord is the One who knows best
those who stray from His way and He is also Most Aware of the rightly guided persons. |
|
فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ بِآيَاتِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ |
|
118- |
So eat of that on which the name of God was pronounced, if you are real believers in His Verses (of Guidance: the Quran). |
|
وَمَا
لَكُمْ أَلاَّ تَأْكُلُواْ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّهِ عَلَيْهِ
وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلاَّ مَا
اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا لَّيُضِلُّونَ |
|
119- |
And why should you not eat of that
on
which the Name of God was pronounced while He explained to you in detail what He made forbidden to you, except in a very difficult situation when you need to eat (and have no lawful food available). Surely many mislead others, on their own desires through lack of knowledge (of God's orders). Of course God is Most Aware of trespassers (of God's Laws). |
|
وَذَرُواْ ظَاهِرَ الإِثْمِ وَبَاطِنَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْسِبُونَ الإِثْمَ سَيُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَقْتَرِفُونَ |
|
120- |
(O Mankind) Avoid overt and hidden sins. Certainly those who earn-commit sins, shall get the results of what they used to commit. |
|
وَلاَ تَأْكُلُواْ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَآئِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ |
|
121- |
And do not eat of that
on which the Name of God was not mentioned, as it is a disrespect (of God's Law), and certainly the devilish people inspire their friends-allies to keep on disputing and arguing with you (about lawful and unlawful foods) and if you obey them, then you practically become multi worshippers (by worshipping and obeying their ways also). |
|
أَوَ
مَن كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَاهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُورًا
يَمْشِي بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَن مَّثَلُهُ فِي |
|
122- |
Is the person who was (spiritually) dead
and We gave him life (of realization of the Truth) and provided for him a guiding light by which he can walk and communicate amongst people, like the one whose existence is in the darknesses (of ignorance), from which he can not exit? Thus (in the long run) appears fair to the disbelievers, the routine which they had been doing (and so they can not get out of their sinful behavioral habit). |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ أَكَابِرَ مُجَرِمِيهَا لِيَمْكُرُواْ فِيهَا وَمَا يَمْكُرُونَ إِلاَّ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ |
|
123- |
And thus We let in each town, the senior
big shot sinners to plan and plot evil in it. But what they plot is only against themselves as well and they don't get it. |
|
وَإِذَا جَاءتْهُمْ آيَةٌ قَالُواْ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ حَتَّى نُؤْتَى
مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ رُسُلُ اللّهِ اللّهُ أَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ
رِسَالَتَهُ سَيُصِيبُ |
|
124- |
And whenever a Verse (of the Quran)
reaches them, they say: "We won't ever believe until something like what was previously given to the Messengers of God, comes to us." God knows best on whom to place His Message. Humiliation and great suffering will hit those criminals by God, because of that which they used to plot. |
|
فَمَن
يُرِدِ اللّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُ لِلإِسْلاَمِ
وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا
كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِي السَّمَاء |
|
125- |
And whomever God wants to guide, He opens
his heart to embrace Islam (submit to God only) and whom God wants to let astray, He makes his chest tight and difficult, as if he is climbing up into the sky (same as a person becomes increasingly short of breath when he is going up in high altitudes). 4 Thus God places inner hardship on people who do not believe. |
|
وَهَذَا صِرَاطُ رَبِّكَ مُسْتَقِيمًا قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ |
|
126- |
This is the Way of your Lord (the Quran
and Islam), leading straight and correct. We have indeed detailed Our Revelations for folks who spend good amount of time and effort to understand. |
|
لَهُمْ دَارُ السَّلاَمِ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمْ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
127- |
For them, there is the condition and
home of peace by their Lord (in this world and in Paradise), as He is their Helper-Guide-Protector in their efforts. |
|
وَيَوْمَ يِحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ
اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الإِنسِ وَقَالَ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُم مِّنَ الإِنسِ
رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا |
|
128- |
And the Day He gathers them all, (He will
say:) O you the Jinn race, you did mislead many human beings.
5 And their friends from amongst humans will say: "We tried to take advantage from each other but now we have reached the point which you determined for us. He will say: "the Fire (of Hell) will be your stay, remaining in it forever, except as God may decide otherwise. Certainly your Lord is All wise, All Knowing." |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعْضَ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضًا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ |
|
129- |
And thus We let some unjust evil ones befriend and control others, by means of what they earn (in sinful cooperation). |
|
يَا
مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ
يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاء يَوْمِكُمْ |
|
130- |
(God will say on the Day of Judgment:) "O you
the race of Jinns and the race of humans, did not Messengers come to you from amongst you, who read My Verses to you and warned you of the meeting of this Day (of Reckoning) of yours?" they respond saying: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them and they bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. |
|
ذَلِكَ أَن لَّمْ يَكُن رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرَى بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غَافِلُونَ |
|
131- |
This is to mean that your Lord would not
destroy whole towns for their wrong-doing (of disbelief) while their people were unaware (of any Message from God). |
|
وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجَاتٌ مِّمَّا عَمِلُواْ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
132- |
For everyone (in the Hereafter also),
there will be degrees and grades of achievement according to what they performed (in this world), as your Lord is never unaware of what they do. |
|
وَرَبُّكَ الْغَنِيُّ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفْ مِن بَعْدِكُم مَّا يَشَاء كَمَآ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن ذُرِّيَّةِ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ |
|
133- |
And your Lord is the Rich (without any
needs), the Owner of All Goodness and Mercy. If He wills, He can take you away and replace you with whatever creatures He wants, just as He raised you from the descendants of other folks. |
|
إِنَّ مَا تُوعَدُونَ لآتٍ وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ |
|
134- |
Certainly what you are being promised, shall come to pass and you are unable to hold it off (or get away from it). |
|
قُلْ يَا قَوْمِ اعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّي عَامِلٌ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن تَكُونُ لَهُ عَاقِبَةُ الدِّارِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ |
|
135- |
(O Muhammad) say: "O my people, act
according your way, I certainly am doing my duty. Soon you will find out, for whom there will be the happy ending in the Hereafter; of course the wrongdoing unjust people won't be successful." |
|
وَجَعَلُواْ لِلّهِ مِمِّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالأَنْعَامِ
نَصِيبًا فَقَالُواْ هَذَا لِلّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَذَا
لِشُرَكَآئِنَا فَمَا كَانَ |
|
136- |
And they put a share of the produce and
the cattle and livestock aside and said: "This is for God," according to their
guess and (put another share and said:) "This is for our gods." Then what they put for their gods, would not reach God, but whatever offering was assigned for God, would reach their god-partners. Evil is indeed the way they judge. |
|
وَكَذَلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٍ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَتْلَ أَوْلاَدِهِمْ شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ لِيُرْدُوهُمْ وَلِيَلْبِسُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ دِينَهُمْ وَلَوْ شَاء اللّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ |
|
137- |
In the same way, the killing and sacrificing
of their children appeared reasonable to many of the polytheists (idol worshippers), to turn them away from the truth and to make ceremonies in their religion against their own interests for the sake of their idol-gods. And if God had willed (by force), they would not have done such things (but God let them have choice). So you leave them alone with their fabrications. |
|
وَقَالُواْ هَذِهِ أَنْعَامٌ وَحَرْثٌ حِجْرٌ لاَّ يَطْعَمُهَا
إِلاَّ مَن نّشَاء بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَأَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُورُهَا |
|
138- |
They also said according to their
imagination and claim: "These livestock and crops are
forbidden and no one may eat of it except whom we allow and some of the of livestock are forbidden to be used for carrying anything on their backs and there are some livestock on which the name of God is not pronounced (at the time of slaughtering)", all these are lies against Him (God, Who did not make such rules). He will punish them for the lies that they have used to fabricate (these lies). |
|
وَقَالُواْ مَا فِي بُطُونِ هَذِهِ الأَنْعَامِ خَالِصَةٌ لِّذُكُورِنَا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِنَا وَإِن يَكُن مَّيْتَةً فَهُمْ فِيهِ شُرَكَاء سَيَجْزِيهِمْ وَصْفَهُمْ إِنَّهُ حِكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ |
|
139- |
And they said: "Whatever is in the bellies
of these such cattle (fetus), is for our males only and forbidden to our females, but if it is born dead, then all may have shares in it." He will punish them for their false claims and explanations, as He is All Wise, All Knowing. |
|
قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُواْ أَوْلاَدَهُمْ سَفَهًا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَحَرَّمُواْ مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللّهُ افْتِرَاء عَلَى اللّهِ قَدْ ضَلُّواْ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهْتَدِينَ |
|
140- |
Certainly those who killed their
children, are losers, foolish and without knowledge and they have disallowed that which God had provided for them, inventing a lie against God. They went indeed far astray and were not rightly guided. |
|
وَهُوَ
الَّذِي أَنشَأَ جَنَّاتٍ مَّعْرُوشَاتٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَاتٍ
وَالنَّخْلَ وَالزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفًا أُكُلُهُ وَالزَّيْتُونَ
وَالرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَابِهًا وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍ |
|
141- |
And He is the One, who brings to life
covered and uncovered (unroofed) gardens, date-palms and crops
of different tastes, olives and pomegranates similar in species, yet different (in taste). Eat of their fruits when they become ripe, but also pay the due (poor's share) from it on the day of its harvest and do not waste, as God does not like wasteful, extravagant people. |
|
وَمِنَ الأَنْعَامِ حَمُولَةً وَفَرْشًا كُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ |
|
142- |
And of the livestock, some are for carrying loads (such as camels, mules and horses etc)
and some are small (non load carrying, like sheep and goats etc for food, milk and wool). Eat of what God has provided for you and do not follow the footsteps of the Devil-Satan (who disagreed with God's Rule). Surely he is an open enemy against you. |
|
ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ مِّنَ الضَّأْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَمِنَ الْمَعْزِ
اثْنَيْنِ قُلْ آلذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ الأُنثَيَيْنِ أَمَّا
اشْتَمَلَتْ |
|
143- |
(Of the livestock, there are) Eight pairs; two (male
and female) of the sheep and two of the goats (,as an example).
Say (to the pagans who make up rules and then say God made those rules, asking them): "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or the fetus which the two female's wombs carry? Inform me with any such knowledge, if you are truthful." |
|
وَمِنَ
الإِبْلِ اثْنَيْنِ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ قُلْ آلذَّكَرَيْنِ
حَرَّمَ أَمِ الأُنثَيَيْنِ أَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَرْحَامُ
الأُنثَيَيْنِ أَمْ كُنتُمْ شُهَدَاء |
|
144- |
(Similarly,) of the camels, two (male and
female) and two of the cattle (male and female). Say: "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or the fetus which the wombs of the two females carry? Or, were you present when God recommended to you such a rule? (Now you know that you are not telling the truth,) who is more unjust and wrong than the one who fabricates a lie against God, to mislead people without any knowledge?" Certainly God does not guide the unjust wrongdoing people |
|
قُل
لاَّ أَجِدُ فِي مَا أُوْحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَى طَاعِمٍ
يَطْعَمُهُ إِلاَّ أَن يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَمًا مَّسْفُوحًا
أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنزِيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ أَوْ فِسْقًا |
|
145- |
(O Muhammad) Say: "I do not find in that
(Quran) which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to a person who wishes to eat it, except it be a dead animal (not slaughtered) or the blood poured out, or the meat of pig (pork) which is of course impure and unlawful or the meat of animal slaughtered sinfully in the name of other than God, as a sacrifice. However when someone gets into a difficult situation (of hunger with no other food) without purposeful disobedience or intent of trespassing the due limits (of God), then (to him or her) God is Very Forgiving, Very Merciful. |

وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِي ظُفُرٍ وَمِنَ
الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهُمَا إِلاَّ
مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُورُهُمَا |
|

And to those who have the Jewish
tradition, We prohibited all animals which have undivided hoofs
and We forbade them fat of the oxen and the sheep, except that fat which is held on their backs or their entrails (inside their bodies) or is mixed with bone (bone marrow). This way, We punished them by restrictions for their rebellion (eating usury, killing people etc) and We mean the truth. |
|
فَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل رَّبُّكُمْ ذُو رَحْمَةٍ وَاسِعَةٍ وَلاَ يُرَدُّ بَأْسُهُ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ |
|
147- |
And if they (the Jews) call you
(Muhammad) a lier, tell them: "Your Lord is the Ever-Holder of Mercy, yet He does not turn away His punishment from the criminal-acting people." |
|
سَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ لَوْ شَاء اللّهُ مَا أَشْرَكْنَا
وَلاَ آبَاؤُنَا وَلاَ حَرَّمْنَا مِن شَيْءٍ كَذَلِكَ كَذَّبَ
الَّذِينَ |
|
148- |
The pagans (polytheists) would say: "If
God had not wanted, neither we or our forefathers would not have taken partners besides God and we would not have forbidden anything (against God's Rules)". People before them, said similar lies, until they tasted Our punishment. Say: "Do you have any knowledge (and proof of the rules) that you can produce for us? You are only following a guess and you are only argument is nothing but nonsense." |
|
قُلْ فَلِلّهِ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَالِغَةُ فَلَوْ شَاء لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ |
|
149- |
Say: "The Ultimate Word is by God
(through His Message); had He willed, He would indeed have guided
you all (by force, but He let you have choice)." |
|
قُلْ
هَلُمَّ شُهَدَاءكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللّهَ حَرَّمَ
هَذَا فَإِن شَهِدُواْ فَلاَ تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ
أَهْوَاء |
|
150- |
Say: "Bring forward your witnesses, who
could testify that God has forbidden this (or that)". Then if even they testify, you (Muhammad), do not testify with them and do not follow the baseless desires of those who call Our Verses, as lies and those who do not believe in the Hereafter and hold others equal with their Lord. |
|
قُلْ
تَعَالَوْاْ أَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَلاَّ
تُشْرِكُواْ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَلاَ
تَقْتُلُواْ أَوْلاَدَكُم مِّنْ إمْلاَقٍ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ |
|
151- |
(O Muhammad) say:: "Come, I will read
what your Lord has forbidden for you: Do not associate anything or anyone with Him (in His Godliness), be nice and kind to your parents, do not kill your children because of poverty, We provide livelihood for you and for them, do not get close to shameful sins (illegal sex), whether openly or in secret and do not kill any person whom God has forbidden, except for a just reason (such as retribution for murder, by an Islamic court of law). This He has commanded for you to uphold, so that you will become reasonable and understand the meaning (of these laws)." |
|
وَلاَ
تَقْرَبُواْ مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلاَّ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ
حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَأَوْفُواْ الْكَيْلَ وَالْمِيزَانَ
بِالْقِسْطِ لاَ نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا |
|
152- |
And don't get near an orphan's property
except by a most correct attitude until he or she reaches the age of full strength (physical and mental puberty) and give full weight and measure fairly (when selling something); We do not burden any person except to the extent of his or her power. And when you speak, do so truthfully and justly, even if a close relative is concerned and be faithful with a promise you made to God. This He does command you, so that you remember and be mindful." |
|
وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ذَلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ |
|
153- |
And this (Advice) is certainly My
correct straight way, therefore do not follow other paths which consequently will deviate you from His path. This He has recommended for you, so you be mindful and pious. |
|
ثُمَّ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ تَمَامًا عَلَى الَّذِيَ أَحْسَنَ وَتَفْصِيلًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لَّعَلَّهُم بِلِقَاء رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ |
|
154- |
Then also, We gave Moses the Book
(Torah) completely, and as a fulfillment for people who would do right
and as an explanation of all aspects and as a Guidance and Mercy, so that they would believe in the meeting with their Lord. |
|
وَهَذَا كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مُبَارَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَاتَّقُواْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ |
|
155- |
And this Book (the Quran) we have sent
down, with blessing. Therefore follow it and be God-conscious and pious so that you become subject to Mercy. |
|
أَن تَقُولُواْ إِنَّمَا أُنزِلَ الْكِتَابُ عَلَى طَآئِفَتَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِنَا وَإِن كُنَّا عَن دِرَاسَتِهِمْ لَغَافِلِينَ |
|
156- |
Also you (Arab pagans) won't have an
excuse telling: "The Book was sent down only to two groups (the Jews and the Christians) before us and we really have been unaware of their teachings." |
|
أَوْ
تَقُولُواْ لَوْ أَنَّا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْكِتَابُ لَكُنَّا
أَهْدَى مِنْهُمْ فَقَدْ جَاءكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ
وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ |
|
157- |
Or you would say: "If only the Book had
been sent down to us, we would have surely been better guided than they (the Jews and Christian)", but now, indeed a clear proof and clarification has reached you from your Lord, as a guidance and mercy. Who is then more unjust and wrong than those who call God's Verses (of the Quran) as lies and turn away from them? We shall punish those who turn away from Our Verses and Lessons, with grave suffering because of their turning away. |
|
هَلْ
يَنظُرُونَ إِلاَّ أَن تَأْتِيهُمُ الْمَلآئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ
رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ
آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لاَ يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا |
|
158- |
Are they waiting (before being convinced
of the Message) that angels should come to them or even your Lord would come at them or some of the Signs of your Lord (as unusual miracles) would appear to them!? The day that some of the Signs of your Lord arrives, (such as the beginning of the End of this world, or when the death of a person arrives,) no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he or she had not believed before or had gained and earned any good points by his or her faith. Say: "You (non believers) keep an waiting and we Muslims too are waiting (and will see the consequences of our behavior)". |
|
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى اللّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ |
|
159- |
Surely those who divide their religion
and broke up into religious sects, you (Muhammad) have nothing to do with them at all. Their case and affair is only with God, Who will then (in the Hereafter) inform them what they were doing. |
|
مَن جَاء بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا وَمَن جَاء بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلاَ يُجْزَى إِلاَّ مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لاَ يُظْلَمُونَ |
|
160- |
Whoever brings (promotes) a good deed,
shall be rewarded ten times the value of that and whoever brings about an evil deed, will be dealt with only the same amount and the kind (of harm) and they won't be dealt with unjustly or wronged. |
|
قُلْ إِنَّنِي هَدَانِي رَبِّي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ دِينًا قِيَمًا مِّلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ |
|
161- |
(O Muhammad) say: "As for me, my Lord
has truly guided me to the correct and straight way (of life),
an upright religion, the same religion of Abraham, pure monotheistic and he was never one of those who associated partners to God." |
|
قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ |
|
162- |
(O Muhammad) say: "My prayer, my
sacrifice, my life and my death are all for the sake of God, the Lord of the worlds (and the Lord of all that exist)," |
|
لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَاْ أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ |
|
163- |
"He has no partner and I have
been commanded to believe in such way and that I am in forefront among the Muslims (those who submit themselves to God, in peace)" |
|
قُلْ
أَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَبْغِي رَبًّا وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلاَ
تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلاَّ عَلَيْهَا وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ
وِزْرَ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُم |
|
164- |
Tell them: "(you suppose) that I (Muhammad)
would ever seek anyone other than God as a lord? While He is the true Lord of all things! No one earns a point of sin, except against him or herself and no one shall bear the burdens (of sins) of others. Then at last, your return, shall be onto your Lord; thereafter He will inform you about the matters in which you had differences of opinion." |
|
وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلاَئِفَ الأَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَا آتَاكُمْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |
|
165- |
And He is the One Who made you as
successors of generations after generations on earth and raised the rank and status of some of you above others, by which He tests you with (the rank, wealth, power etc) that He has granted on you. Surely your Lord is Swift in retaliation and certainly He is Very Forgiving, the Most Merciful (to good people). |

The Revelation of the Quran shows numerous
Miracles by statements about scientific facts, 1400 years ago,
that became just known in the last century of scientific
discoveries, such as the Big Bang or the embryological stages of
human development etc. The Miracles of the Quran are permanent,
whereas the miracles of the prophets before Muhammad were more
significant in their lifetime, only. f

This is another miracle of the Quran. Now we know that the
higher we climb in unpressurized small plane into the sky above
12000 feet, the harder we can breathe and think right
