The Night Journey - Chapter 17 | Contains 111 Verses – Mecca |
|
|
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ |
|
1- |
Glory to God, Who is beyond all limitations and imaginations,
Who during one night, took His devoted servant (Muhammad) for a tour from the location of the Sacred Mosque (in Mecca) to the farthest Mosque (in Jerusalem), the environment of which We have blessed, in order that We show him (Muhammad), some of Our Signs . Indeed He is the All Hearing, All Seeing (God). 1 |
|
وَآتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلاَّ تَتَّخِذُواْ مِن دُونِي وَكِيلًا |
|
2- |
Just as We gave the Book (of Guidance, The
Torah) to Moses and We made it as a guidance for the Children of Israel (The Jews) teaching them not to take other than Me, anyone as a guardian or patron. 3 |
|
ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا |
|
3- |
O descendents of those people whom We carried
(in the ship to safety) with Noah (and you ungratefully worship idols), he (Noah) was a grateful servant (of God). |
|
وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْكِتَابِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِي الأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا |
|
4- |
And We declared (Our Divine Prophecy) to the
Children of Israel (the Jews) in the Book (Torah) that: “Indeed you will be doing grave mischief on earth twice and that you will become very arrogant and demonstrate great arrogance.” |
|
فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ أُولاهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَّنَا أُوْلِي بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ فَجَاسُواْ خِلاَلَ الدِّيَارِ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَّفْعُولًا |
|
5- |
And when the first Promise of the two
(punishment’s time) arrived, We raised up over and against you some of Our creatures-servants of strong military power, who then penetrated and invaded into your land and the first warning-prediction was fulfilled. 4 |
|
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمْدَدْنَاكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا |
|
6- |
Later We let you once prevail over them and
We aided you with wealth and children (generations) and We made you more numerous in man-power. |
|
إِنْ
أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا
فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوؤُواْ |
|
7- |
If you do good, you do good for yourselves,
in your favor. And if you do evil, it will be against yourselves. Then when another promise-prediction comes to pass, they will despair (you and) sadden your faces, and they will enter the mosque (the place of your worship) as they had entered it the first time and they will utterly destroy everything they conquer. |
|
عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ أَن يَرْحَمَكُمْ وَإِنْ عُدتُّمْ عُدْنَا وَجَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَافِرِينَ حَصِيرًا |
|
8- |
It may be that your Lord would have Mercy
upon you, but if you return (to arrogance and evil-doing), We will return and repeat (our punishment) and We have made Hell as a prison for the ungrateful disbelievers (in the Hereafter). |
|
إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ يِهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا |
|
9- |
Certainly, this Quran guides to that which is
most upright and gives good news to the believers who do good
deeds, that they will have a great reward (Paradise and God’s Mercy). |
|
وأَنَّ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ أَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا |
|
10- |
And (the Quran also announces) that those who
do not believe in the Hereafter, We have prepared a painful suffering for them (Hell). |
|
وَيَدْعُ الإِنسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَاءهُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَكَانَ الإِنسَانُ عَجُولًا |
|
11- |
And mankind ever so easily calls for harm and
evil, whereas he should be praying for good (for himself or
others). And mankind usually is hasty in decisions. |
|
وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ
آيَتَيْنِ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ
النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِتَبْتَغُواْ فَضْلًا |
|
12- |
And We have made the night and the day as two
signs and symbols. Furthermore We obscured the symbol of the night (with darkness), while We made the symbol of the day (with light), illuminating, light–giving, so that (with the help of light and guidance) you may seek more goodness from your Lord and also to learn the passing number of years and calculation and We did explain everything in detail. |
|
وَكُلَّ إِنسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَآئِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَابًا يَلْقَاهُ مَنشُورًا |
|
13- |
And We have assigned for every human being a
detail of his life (‘s deeds) on his neck (all his past actions and deeds are attached to him); and on the Day of Resurrection, We bring out a book (of his life on earth) which he will find wide open. |
|
اقْرَأْ كَتَابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيبًا |
|
14- |
(It will be stated :) “Read your book, today you are sufficient as a accountant of your deeds". |
|
مَّنِ اهْتَدَى فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدي لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا |
|
15- |
Whoever follows guidance (of God), then he
goes correct for his own benefit, and whoever goes astray (in the wrong direction), he goes wrong against his own interest and no one shall bear the burden of responsibility of another person (on the Day of Judgment). And We have never punished any people until We had sent a messenger (to warn against their evil deeds). |
|
وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيرًا |
|
16- |
And when We decided to destroy a town, We first commanded the well-to-do leaders who were transgressing people (to obey), then when they disobeyed Our Commands, then the Word of Punishment was realized and fulfilled against them. Then We destroyed it utterly. |
|
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِن بَعْدِ نُوحٍ وَكَفَى بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرَا بَصِيرًا |
|
17- |
And how many generations did We destroy after
Noah. And Sufficient is your Lord the All Aware, All Observing of the sins of his human creatures. |
|
مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهُ فِيهَا مَا نَشَاء لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلاهَا مَذْمُومًا مَّدْحُورًا |
|
18- |
Whoever desires (only) the quick-passing
(worldly enjoyments), We readily let him have of it, whatever We want, for anyone, We decide. Then afterwards, We provide Hell for him, which he will reach and endure disgraced and disowned. |
|
وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الآخِرَةَ وَسَعَى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُم مَّشْكُورًا |
|
19- |
And whoever desires the good of the Hereafter
and strives wholeheartedly for it while he is a believer, then such people are the ones whose efforts shall be appreciated (and rewarded by God). |
|
كُلاًّ نُّمِدُّ هَؤُلاء وَهَؤُلاء مِنْ عَطَاء رَبِّكَ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَاء رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا |
|
20- |
To each of these groups, these (wanting only
the worldly enjoyment) and those (wanting the serene life of the Hereafter), We grant them from the generosity of your Lord. And the generosity and granting of your Lord is not limited and confined (to any kind of people). |
|
انظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَلآخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلًا |
|
21- |
Look how We granted some, more than others (in
this world) and of course for the Hereafter, there will be greater degrees and ranks (according to their deeds and by the Grace of God). |
|
لاَّ تَجْعَل مَعَ اللّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَتَقْعُدَ مَذْمُومًا مَّخْذُولًا |
|
22- |
Do not set up with God, another god or
someone else to worship, otherwise you will sit feeling remorseful, blamed and humiliated |
|
وَقَضَى
رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ
إِحْسَانًا إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ |
|
23- |
And your Lord has commanded that you worship
none but Him and that you act kindly to your parents. If one of them or both of them reach old age while being with you, do not mention any word of disrespect, even such as un “ugh” to them and don't abuse them, but speak to them with kindness. |
|
وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا |
|
24- |
And spread over them the wings (arms, wide)
with humility through tenderness and pray, saying: ” O my Lord, have Mercy on them, as they took care of me when I was a child”. |
|
رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ إِن تَكُونُواْ صَالِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلأَوَّابِينَ غَفُورًا |
|
25- |
Your Lord knows best what is in your hearts
(inner-selves). If you are righteous (well meaning and acting), then (you should know that) He is certainly Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again (after making mistakes or sins). |
|
وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَى حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَلاَ تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا |
|
26- |
And do give to the close relative his or her
due and to the needy and to the wayfarer (who runs out of funds during the travel). But do not be wasteful in your giving and spending. |
|
إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُواْ إِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفُورًا |
|
27- |
Indeed the wasteful people are brothers of
the devils and (originally) the devil (Satan) was ever so ungrateful to his Lord. |
|
وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاء رَحْمَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّيْسُورًا |
|
28- |
And if you have to turn away from them
(because you do not have enough to help them at the time), expecting the Mercy of your Lord, which you hope for, then speak to them with a soft kind word (i.e.: I hope God will give me enough to be able to help you). |
|
وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَى عُنُقِكَ وَلاَ تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا مَّحْسُورًا |
|
29- |
Do not keep your hand chained to your neck
(avoiding to give any help), nor stretch it out all the way (to spend all you have), then you will end up sitting blameworthy and regretful. |
|
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا |
|
30- |
Indeed your Lord expands and enlarges the
provision for whom He wills and limits (it for whom He wills).
Certainly He is All Aware, All Observing over His servants. |
|
وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَوْلادَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلاقٍ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُم إنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْا كَبِيرًا |
|
31- |
And do not kill your children out of fear of
poverty. We provide for them as well as for you. Surely killing them is a great sin. |
|
وَلاَ تَقْرَبُواْ الزِّنَى إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَاء سَبِيلًا |
|
32- |
And do not get close or near the possibility
of unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed it is a shameful sin and an evil way of behavior. |
|
وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللّهُ إِلاَّ بِالحَقِّ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلاَ يُسْرِف فِّي الْقَتْلِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنْصُورًا |
|
33- |
Also do not kill anyone, whose killing God
has forbidden, except for a just cause.
5 And whoever is killed wrongfully, unjustly, We have indeed ordained for his heir to have authority for a lawful retaliation. But he should not exceed in the matter of killing (i.e. should not kill anyone else except the proven murderer). 6 Certainly he is to be aided (by Islamic Court of Law). |
|
وَلاَ تَقْرَبُواْ مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلاَّ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَأَوْفُواْ بِالْعَهْدِ إِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْؤُولًا |
|
34- |
And do not get near the property of the
orphan except for the best of care and management, till he (or she) reaches the age of full strength. And fulfill your promise (your contract). Certainly the contract and promise will be questioned about (in the Hereafter as well). |
|
وَأَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ إِذا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُواْ بِالقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا |
|
35- |
And give full measure when you sell by
measure, and weigh with a scale that is balanced straight (do not give less than the buyer’s due amount). That is good and better in the end (for the society and correctness). |
|
وَلاَ تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْؤُولًا |
|
36- |
And do not stand (say, believe or bear
witness) on something, of which you have no knowledge of. Certainly the hearing, the sight and the heart (the power of thinking), all of those will be questioned (by God). |
|
وَلاَ تَمْشِ فِي الأَرْضِ مَرَحًا إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ الأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُولًا |
|
37- |
And do not walk on earth with arrogant
gesture. Of course you can neither penetrate the earth with your feet (by banging on it arrogantly) nor can you reach the height of the mountain (by stretching up your head and your nose). |
|
كُلُّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ سَيٍّئُهُ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهًا |
|
38- |
All these are bad manners, not allowable and not desirable by your Lord. |
|
ذَلِكَ مِمَّا أَوْحَى إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَتُلْقَى فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًا مَّدْحُورًا |
|
39- |
These are the decrees which your Lord has
revealed to you (Muhammad) of wisdom. And do not assume or set up with God, another god or object of worship, otherwise, you shall be cast into Hell, blamed and rejected (from God’s Mercy). |
|
أَفَأَصْفَاكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِالْبَنِينَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلآئِكَةِ إِنَاثًا إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلًا عَظِيمًا |
|
40- |
Has your Lord (in your false imagination)
singled you out to have sons, while He has accepted daughters from among the angels (for Himself)? Truly, you are uttering a dreadful saying. |
|
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ وَمَا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلاَّ نُفُورًا |
|
41- |
And surely We have explained details (of
belief and behavior) in this Quran, so that they might take
notice, but it increases only dislike in them (the disbelievers). |
|
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ آلِهَةٌ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذًا لاَّبْتَغَوْاْ إِلَى ذِي الْعَرْشِ سَبِيلًا |
|
42- |
(O Muhammad) say: (to these polytheists,
pagans): “If there were along with Him (with God), other gods, as they say, then they would have sought a way to get to interfere with the decisions of the One Who controls the Dominion of existence”. |
|
سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا |
|
43- |
Glory to Him Who is Beyond all imagination, limitation and
association, and He is High above all what they say, in magnifying (their gods) extensively. |
|
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ وَلَكِن لاَّ تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا |
|
44- |
The seven (multitudes of) heavens and the
earth and whatever is in them glorify Him (by their constant obedient motion) and there is not a thing, but that glorifies Him (like all atom particles that constantly move obediently according to His Design and Command), but you do not perceive their glorification (worship). Yet He is truly Ever Forbearing, Very Forgiving. |
|
وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرآنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُورًا |
|
45- |
And when you were reading the Quran, We
placed between you and those who do not believe in the
Hereafter, an invisible screen (since they don’t want to hear or understand the Quran). |
|
وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَإِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَّوْاْ عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمْ نُفُورًا |
|
46- |
And We put on their hearts and minds
coverings, which hold them from understanding it (the Quran) and a hardness in their ears (hard of hearing the truth) and when you mention your Lord in the Quran, Who is One, they turn on their backs, going away with much dislike. |
|
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُونَ بِهِ إِذْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِذْ هُمْ نَجْوَى إِذْ يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلاَّ رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا |
|
47- |
We know well what they really are listening
to, when they appear to be listening to you and while they whisper (to each other), as the unjust people say: “You are following none but a bewitched man”. |
|
انظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ الأَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعْونَ سَبِيلًا |
|
48- |
See how they were calling you names, therefore they went astray, then they can never find the way. |
|
وَقَالُواْ أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَرُفَاتًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقًا جَدِيدًا |
|
49- |
And they say: “When we become bones and pieces (in graves), do we really get raised up in a new creation?” |
|
قُل كُونُواْ حِجَارَةً أَوْ حَدِيدًا |
|
50- |
Say (O Muhammad to them): “Even if you become stone or iron, (or whatever else, you will be resurrected),” |
|
أَوْ خَلْقًا
مِّمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِي صُدُورِكُمْ فَسَيَقُولُونَ مَن يُعِيدُنَا
قُلِ الَّذِي فَطَرَكُمْ |
|
51- |
“Or even from a condition greater or harder
in your imagination, (you still shall be resurrected). Then they say: “Who shall bring us back (to life)? “ Say: “The One Who created you in the first place”. Then they shake their heads at you and say: “When will that be?” Say: “It could be near”. |
|
يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلًا |
|
52- |
The Day when He calls you up, then you will
be answering (His Call by rising up alive again) with His Praise and Obedience and you will think that you stayed (on earth) for just a little while. |
|
وَقُل لِّعِبَادِي يَقُولُواْ الَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنزَغُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلإِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِينًا |
|
53- |
And tell My servants (good believers) that
they should use the best words while they are speaking to
others; as Satan (the Devil) indeed causes conflict between them. Truly, Satan has been an evident enemy to mankind. |
|
رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِن يَشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَوْ إِن يَشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلًا |
|
54- |
Your Lord knows you best; If He wills, He will have Mercy on you, or if He wills, He will punish you (for your misbehavior). And We have not sent you (Muhammad) as a guardian over them. |
|
وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِيِّينَ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُورًا |
|
55- |
And your Lord knows best the situation of all
that exist in the heavens and the earth. And We have preferred some of the prophets over others (for reasons) and as such We gave David the (Book of) Psalms. |
|
قُلِ ادْعُواْ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِهِ فَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنكُمْ وَلاَ تَحْوِيلًا |
|
56- |
Say (O Muhammad to the polytheists): “Call
and pray to those who you think (can hear your prayer) besides
Him but they have neither the power to remove the problem from you, nor can they cause any change in your situation”. |
|
أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ يَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُورًا |
|
57- |
Those whom they (the polytheist) call and
pray to (anyone besides God) they themselves have sought and desired means (of direct worship to God) by which they would be nearest (to Him) and have hoped for His Mercy and feared His Punishment. Indeed the Punishment of your Lord is something to reckon with and to be afraid of. |
|
وَإِن مَّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلاَّ نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا كَانَ ذَلِك فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا |
|
58- |
And indeed there will not be any town but
that We will cause it to perish before the Day of Resurrection
or that We will cause it to vanish with a severe punishment. This Decree has been written in the Book (of Our Decrees). |
|
وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَن نُّرْسِلَ بِالآيَاتِ إِلاَّ أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا الأَوَّلُونَ وَآتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَا وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالآيَاتِ إِلاَّ تَخْوِيفًا |
|
59- |
And nothing hindered Us from sending
Miracles, other than the fact that the people of the ancient times denied and rejected them (the Miracles). And (for example) We sent the (peculiar) she-camel as a clear Miracle to the people of Thamood, but they did wrong by harming it. And We have not sent the Verses and the Miracles, but only to warn and make them fear of disobedience (of His Rules). |
|
وَإِذْ
قُلْنَا لَكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا
الرُّؤيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلاَّ فِتْنَةً لِّلنَّاسِ |
|
60- |
And (remember) when We told you (Muhammad):
“Of course your Lord encompasses whatever there is about
mankind". And We made the dream that We showed you together with the cursed tree, mentioned in the Quran, 7 only as a trial and test (of integrity) for the people. And We warned them to be afraid (of following tyrants after you), but it will not increase in them anything other than vast and major rebellion (against God’s Commandments). |
|
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلآئِكَةِ اسْجُدُواْ لآدَمَ فَسَجَدُواْ إَلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ أَأَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِينًا |
|
61- |
And (behold) when We told the angels:
“Prostrate yourselves for (the creation of) Adam”. They all prostrated (bowed down) except Iblis (Satan), who said: “Shall I prostrate myself for someone whom You created from mud?” |
|
قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَكَ هَذَا الَّذِي كَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ لَئِنْ أَخَّرْتَنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لأَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ إَلاَّ قَلِيلًا |
|
62- |
(Satan further) said: “Did you see this one
whom You have honored above me, if You give me a chance (and keep me alive) till the Day of Resurrection, I will surely bring his offspring under my control except a few of them”. |
|
قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَآؤُكُمْ جَزَاء مَّوْفُورًا |
|
63- |
(God) said: “Go and whoever of them follows
you, then certainly Hell will be the end-result for you, a yield well deserved”. |
|
وَاسْتَفْزِزْ
مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ بِصَوْتِكَ وَأَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِم
بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِي الأَمْوَالِ |
|
64- |
“And keep fooling whom you can among them
with your voice
and assault them with your cavalry and infantry (satanic warmongers) and share with them in their wealth (take their money as interest, tax, etc) 8 and in their children (many of today’s young people are given to promiscuity and satanic behavior, in the west mostly) and give them promises”. But Satan promises them nothing but deceit. |
|
إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ وَكَفَى بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيلًا |
|
65- |
But as for my good servants, you won’t have
any authority over them. And God Alone, your Lord is Sufficient as Guardian (for them). |
|
رَّبُّكُمُ الَّذِي يُزْجِي لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِي الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا |
|
66- |
Your Lord is the One Who makes the ship move
through the sea for you, in order for you to seek of His Bounty. In fact He has been Very Merciful to you. 9 |
|
وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الْضُّرُّ فِي الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدْعُونَ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاكُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ أَعْرَضْتُمْ وَكَانَ الإِنْسَانُ كَفُورًا |
|
67- |
And when a harm touches you at sea, all those
others whom you call and pray to, will vanish except He. But then when He brings you safely on land, you turn away (from Him). And humankind is ever so ungrateful. |
|
أَفَأَمِنتُمْ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ الْبَرِّ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُواْ لَكُمْ وَكِيلًا |
|
68- |
Are you then feeling safe and secure from the
possibility that He might make the ground to sink and swallow
you or send a severe sand storm your way? Then you won’t find any guardian. |
|
أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخْرَى فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفا مِّنَ الرِّيحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُواْ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ تَبِيعًا |
|
69- |
Or do you feel secure that He will not
inflict you again in the same situation at sea, then send a hurricane of wind against you and then drown you because of your ingratitude and disbelief? Then you will not find any helper in that condition against Us. |
|
وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا |
|
70- |
We have indeed honored the Children of Adam
and provided for them means of transportation on land and on the
sea and provided for them also of lawful and pure provisions (foods) and favored them greatly (in their abilities) above many of Our Creation. |
|
يَوْمَ نَدْعُو كُلَّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَامِهِمْ فَمَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَأُوْلَئِكَ يَقْرَؤُونَ كِتَابَهُمْ وَلاَ يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا |
|
71- |
(And be mindful of) the Day when We shall
call together all human beings along with their leaders (whom they were following). Then whoever is given his book (of his life’s records) in his right hand, then these people read their book (of their biography) and they will not be dealt with unjustly in the least (at all). |
|
وَمَن كَانَ فِي هَذِهِ أَعْمَى فَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ أَعْمَى وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا |
|
72- |
And whoever was blind (-hearted) in this
world (could not appreciate the Majesty of God), then in the Hereafter, that person will also be blind (-hearted and unable to appreciate the Majesty of God) and even more confused and astray from the correct path (of thinking and understanding). |
|
وَإِن كَادُواْ لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ لِتفْتَرِيَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهُ وَإِذًا لاَّتَّخَذُوكَ خَلِيلًا |
|
73- |
Indeed, they nearly tempted you away from
that which We have revealed to you, in order to fabricate something (words) other than that, against Us (against Our words of Revelation) and then they would have certainly taken you as an intimate friend. |
|
وَلَوْلاَ أَن ثَبَّتْنَاكَ لَقَدْ كِدتَّ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا |
|
74- |
And had We not made you stand firm (against
the temptation of the disbelievers), you would nearly have inclined a little towards them. |
|
إِذًا لَّأَذَقْنَاكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيَاةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيرًا |
|
75- |
In that case, We would have certainly made
you taste a double punishment in this life and a double punishment at the time of death (after death). Then you could not have found any helper against Us (Our Punishment). |
|
وَإِن كَادُواْ لَيَسْتَفِزُّونَكَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجوكَ مِنْهَا وَإِذًا لاَّ يَلْبَثُونَ خِلافَكَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلًا |
|
76- |
And they were about to scare you from the
land to get you out of there (out of Mecca).
But in that case, they would not have stayed (put themselves) after you, except for a little while. |
|
سُنَّةَ مَن قَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَا وَلاَ تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيلًا |
|
77- |
(This was Our) Way (to deal in the past)
regarding Our Messengers which We sent before you (Muhammad).
And you won’t find any changes in Our Way. |
|
أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى غَسَقِ اللَّيْلِ وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا |
|
78- |
Establish and rise up for prayers at the
sun’s decline, (just after midday) till the darkness of the
night 10 and (rise up) for the recitation (of prayer and Quran) at dawn. Surely the recitation at down is witnessed (noticeable). |
|
وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ عَسَى أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودًا |
|
79- |
And in some point of the night, spent the
time in prayer, as a special prayer for you (Muhammad to perform), so that your Lord will raise you to a higher praised standing. |
|
وَقُل رَّبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَاجْعَل لِّي مِن لَّدُنكَ سُلْطَانًا نَّصِيرًا |
|
80- |
And pray saying: “O my Lord, please have me
enter to do anything that I do with truthfulness and have me complete and leave it with truthfulness, and grant me from Your Majesty, means and power which will be helpful to me”. |
|
وَقُلْ جَاء الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا |
|
81- |
And say: “truth (belief in the One God) has
come and falsehood (worshipping other than God) has vanished.
Surely falsehood is doomed to vanish”. |
|
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاء وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلاَ يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إَلاَّ خَسَارًا |
|
82- |
And from the (content of the) Quran, We send down items in which there are means of healing and mercy for those who believe in, yet it does not add anything to the unjust wrongdoers except loss. (by their prejudice, lack of understanding and depriving themselves of its benefits). |
|
وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الإِنسَانِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَأَى بِجَانِبِهِ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَؤُوسًا |
|
83- |
Whenever We show mankind some favor, he turns
his back and withdraws to one side [distances himself]; and when a bad circumstance touches (happens to) him, he is in great despair. |
|
قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدَى سَبِيلًا |
|
84- |
Say (this fact that): “Each person acts
according to his attitude and intention and creed and your Lord knows best who is better guided". |
|
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّن الْعِلْمِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلًا |
|
85- |
And they ask you (O Muhammad) about the soul
(spirit); Say: The spirit or soul is existent by Command of my Lord and you (humans) have not been given of the knowledge (about the spirit of mankind) except a little. |
|
وَلَئِن شِئْنَا لَنَذْهَبَنَّ بِالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا وَكِيلًا |
|
86- |
(It is even so that) if We had willed, We
could surely take away all that which We have revealed to you
(the Quran). Then you could not find anyone to plead with in this matter against Our Decision. |
|
إِلاَّ رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّ فَضْلَهُ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ كَبِيرًا |
|
87- |
Except that (this whole Revelation) is a
Mercy from your Lord. Indeed His Favor has been great unto you. |
|
قُل لَّئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى أَن يَأْتُواْ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ لاَ يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا |
|
88- |
88- Say: “If the entire humankind and Jinns
(invisible-extra terrestrial intelligent beings) would gather to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce anything like it, even if they would help each other”. |
|
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَأَبَى أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلاَّ كُفُورًا |
|
89- |
And indeed We have explained fully to mankind
in this Quran of all kinds of situations and examples, (to teach
humans), however most people don’t treat it except with ingratitude and disbelief. |
|
وَقَالُواْ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الأَرْضِ يَنبُوعًا |
|
90- |
They even say: “We shall not believe in you (Muhammad), unless you cause a spring to gush from the earth for us”. |
|
أَوْ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الأَنْهَارَ خِلالَهَا تَفْجِيرًا |
|
91- |
“Or that you would have a garden of
date-palms and grape-vines, then you would cause many rivers to gush forth a lot of water in the middle of it”. |
|
أَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاء كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا أَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِاللّهِ وَالْمَلآئِكَةِ قَبِيلًا |
|
92- |
“Or that you would cause the sky to fall upon
us at once in pieces, as you have imagined or that you bring God and the angels face to face before us”. |
|
أَوْ يَكُونَ
لَكَ بَيْتٌ مِّن زُخْرُفٍ أَوْ تَرْقَى فِي السَّمَاء وَلَن
نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ |
|
93- |
“Or that you would possess a house of gold
or that you would go up in the sky and even then we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down for us a Book that we could read”. Say: “O Muhammad to them): “Glory to my Lord Who is Above and Beyond all that (you imagine). Am I anyone other than a man, sent as a Messenger?” |
|
وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ إِذْ جَاءهُمُ الْهُدَى إِلاَّ أَن قَالُواْ أَبَعَثَ اللّهُ بَشَرًا رَّسُولًا |
|
94- |
And nothing prevented people from believing,
when the Guidance came to them, except that they said (questioning the possibility): “Had God ever sent a man as a Messenger?” |
|
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ فِي الأَرْضِ مَلآئِكَةٌ يَمْشُونَ مُطْمَئِنِّينَ لَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَلَكًا رَّسُولًا |
|
95- |
Say: “If there were angels on earth, who
would be walking in peace and security, We would have certainly sent down on them also an angel as a messenger from the sky”. |
|
قُلْ كَفَى بِاللّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا |
|
96- |
Say: "God Alone is sufficient as Witness
between me and you (that I am telling the truth about the
Revelations). Certainly He is Ever All Aware, All Seeing (All Observing) on his servants”. |
|
وَمَن يَهْدِ
اللّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ
أَوْلِيَاء مِن دُونِهِ وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ |
|
97- |
And whomever God guides, he is guided
correctly, and whomever He lets astray (away from God’s Guidance of the Quran), for such persons, you could not find any real helpers or protectors, besides Him, and We shall gather them together on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; Their place will be Hell. Wherever it slows down, We again increase the fierceness of suffering to them. |
|
ذَلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالُواْ أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَرُفَاتًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقًا جَدِيدًا |
|
98- |
This is their punishment because they denied
Our Verses and Lessons, and asked saying: “When we are bones and pieces, are we going to be raised up in a new creation?" |
|
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ اللّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجَلًا لاَّ رَيْبَ فِيهِ فَأَبَى الظَّالِمُونَ إَلاَّ كُفُورًا |
|
99- |
Don’t they see that God, Who created the
heavens and the earth, is Capable to create the like of them and that He decreed an appointed time for their end, in which there should not be any doubt. Yet the unjust and incorrect wrongdoers refuse and deny the truth and accept nothing but disbelief. |
|
قُل لَّوْ أَنتُمْ تَمْلِكُونَ خَزَآئِنَ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّي إِذًا لَّأَمْسَكْتُمْ خَشْيَةَ الإِنفَاقِ وَكَانَ الإنسَانُ قَتُورًا |
|
100- |
Say (to the disbelievers): “Even if you had
possessed the treasures from the Mercy of my Lord, you still would hold back from spending, for fear (of getting exhausted) and mankind is ever so stingy”. |
|
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى تِسْعَ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ فَاسْأَلْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذْ جَاءهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَونُ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكَ يَا مُوسَى مَسْحُورًا |
|
101- |
And indeed We had given Moses nine clear
miracles and signs (of his truthfulness). Ask the children of Israel (the descendents of Jacob), when he (Moses) came to them (for guidance) later the Pharaoh told him: “O Moses, I really think that you are bewitched”. |
|
قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا أَنزَلَ هَؤُلاء إِلاَّ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ بَصَآئِرَ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكَ يَا فِرْعَونُ مَثْبُورًا |
|
102- |
He answered, saying: “You certainly know that
nobody sent those revelations and miracles except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidences (of His Oneness and Majesty) and I really think that you, Pharaoh are doomed to perish”. |
|
فَأَرَادَ أَن يَسْتَفِزَّهُم مِّنَ الأَرْضِ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُ جَمِيعًا |
|
103- |
He (the Pharaoh) then decided to remove them
(the Israelites) from the earth, but We then drowned him and all who were with him. |
|
وَقُلْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْكُنُواْ الأَرْضَ فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًا |
|
104- |
And thereafter We said to the Children of
Israel: “Dwell in the land, then when the last Promise (of the Day of Resurrection) arrives, We shall bring you altogether (of all nations together)”. |
|
وَبِالْحَقِّ أَنزَلْنَاهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلاَّ مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا |
|
105- |
And We have sent it (the Quran) down for (the
explanation of) the truth, and it has descended with truth and We have not sent you (Muhammad) except as a proclaimer of good news (to good people) and as a warner (to bad people regarding their future), |
|
وَقُرْآنًا فَرَقْنَاهُ لِتَقْرَأَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلَى مُكْثٍ وَنَزَّلْنَاهُ تَنزِيلًا |
|
106- |
And the Quran, which We have divided into
chapters (parts) so that you might read it to people at
intervals and We kept on revealing it in stages (during the 23 years). |
|
قُلْ آمِنُواْ بِهِ أَوْ لاَ تُؤْمِنُواْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهِ إِذَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ يَخِرُّونَ لِلأَذْقَانِ |
|
107- |
(O Muhammad) say: “Believe in it, or even if
you don’t believe in, indeed those who were given the knowledge before its coming, (believe it like some knowledgeable Jews, Christians and Zoroastrian), when it is being recited to them, they kneel down to their faces in humble prostration”. |
|
وَيَقُولُونَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِن كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُولًا |
|
108- |
And they say: “Glory to our Lord, Who is Beyond all.
Truly the Promise of our Lord (for the coming of Muhammad and the Quran) has been indeed fulfilled”. |
|
وَيَخِرُّونَ لِلأَذْقَانِ يَبْكُونَ وَيَزِيدُهُمْ خُشُوعًا |
|
109- |
And they kneel down, on their faces, weeping (of joy) and it (the Quran) ever increases their humility (to God). |
|
قُلِ ادْعُواْ اللّهَ أَوِ ادْعُواْ الرَّحْمَنَ أَيًّا مَّا تَدْعُواْ فَلَهُ الأَسْمَاء الْحُسْنَى وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا |
|
110- |
(O Muhammad) say: “Call God as Allah or call
