ذِكْرُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهُ زَكَرِيَّا |
|
2- |
This is for mentioning of the Mercy of your Lord to His servant Zachariah. |
|
إِذْ نَادَى رَبَّهُ نِدَاء خَفِيًّا |
|
3- |
When he called to his Lord (God) in a secret way. |
|
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّي وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا وَلَمْ أَكُن بِدُعَائِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا |
|
4- |
He said: “O my Lord, my bones have truly
become weak and the signs of age are showing on my head and o my
Lord, I have never been deprived of Your Blessing in my prayers to You in the past. |
|
وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِن وَرَائِي وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا |
|
5- |
And indeed I fear my relatives to be my
inheritors after my passing and my wife has been barren. So please grant me a caretaker (heir) from Your Majesty”, |
|
يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا |
|
6- |
“Who will inherit me and also will inherit
from the belief and traditions of the descendents and adherents of Jacob and o my Lord, make him, a very pleasant person”. |
|
يَا زَكَرِيَّا إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَامٍ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَى لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا |
|
7- |
(God said:) “O Zachariah, indeed We do give
you the good news of a son, whose name will be John, a name that We did not give to anyone before”. |
|
قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرًا وَقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا |
|
8- |
He said: “O My Lord, how could I have a son while my wife is barren and I have reached grand old age?” |
|
قَالَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْئًا |
|
9- |
He (the angel) said: “It will be so. Your
Lord said that, this is very easy for Me, and I have created you before while you were nothing”. |
|
قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّي آيَةً قَالَ آيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا |
|
10- |
He said: “O my Lord, give me a sign (for me
to know I am going to have a son)". He (God) said: “Your sign shall be that you won’t be speaking to people for three nights in a row, while being in sound health”. |
|
فَخَرَجَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَى إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا |
|
11- |
He then went out to his people from the
private praying place and told them by signs to praise the Lord in the morning and in the evening. |
|
يَا يَحْيَى خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا |
|
12- |
(Later on when John, the son of Zachary grew up
to a certain young age, We told him): “O John, hold unto the content of the Scripture firmly”. And We gave him wisdom and assignment for prophethood while he was still a young boy, |
|
وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَاةً وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا |
|
13- |
And (also We granted him) charisma, sympathy
as well as purity of character from Our Grace and he was very pious (God-conscious). |
|
وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا |
|
14- |
And he was very nice to his parents and he was neither a bully nor disobedient (to God). |
|
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا |
|
15- |
And peace be upon him the day he was born, the day he died and the day when he will be raised up alive again. |
|
وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَرْيَمَ إِذِ انتَبَذَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا |
|
16- |
And mention also in the Book (the Quran)
about Mary, when she withdrew herself from her family to a place east of (Jerusalem). |
|
فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا |
|
17- |
She then took up a cover and veil, while away
from them, We then sent Our holy spirit (angel Gabriel) to her and he then appeared to her as a nice appearing person. |
|
قَالَتْ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَن مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا |
|
18- |
She said: “I certainly seek refuge with the Most Gracious (God) from you that you would be pious (God-conscious)". |
|
قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَامًا زَكِيًّا |
|
19- |
(the Angel) said: “I am indeed only the messenger of your Lord to convey to you (the news of the gift of) a son, pure in character. |
|
قَالَتْ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِي بَشَرٌ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّا |
|
20- |
She (asked) saying: “How could I have a son, when no man has ever touched me and I was never incorrect in behavior?” |
|
قَالَ كَذَلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ آيَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا |
|
21- |
(The Angel) said: “So it shall be". Your Lord said: “That is easy for Me (God, to create even without a father); and We will definitely make him as a Sign (of God’s Majesty and Guidance) and as a Mercy from Us (God) and this is a matter already decided upon". |
|
فَحَمَلَتْهُ فَانتَبَذَتْ بِهِ مَكَانًا قَصِيًّا |
|
22- |
So then she conceived and carried him and
went to seclusion with him (the baby in the womb) to a far place (Bethlehem, about 5 miles from Jerusalem). |
|
فَأَجَاءهَا الْمَخَاضُ إِلَى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَا لَيْتَنِي مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًا مَّنسِيًّا |
|
23- |
Later the labor pains drove her towards the
trunk of a date-palm tree. She said: “I wish I had died before this and would have been forgotten, out of sight”. |
|
فَنَادَاهَا مِن تَحْتِهَا أَلَّا تَحْزَنِي قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا |
|
24- |
Then (a voice) called her from below her: “Do not to be sad; your Lord indeed has placed a stream of water down below you”. |
|
وَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسَاقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا |
|
25- |
"And shake the trunk of the date-palm toward you, fresh ripe dates will fall upon you”. |
|
فَكُلِي وَاشْرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيْنًا فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقُولِي إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ أُكَلِّمَ الْيَوْمَ إِنسِيًّا |
|
26- |
So eat and drink and be happy. Later if you see any human being, say: “I have indeed pledged to the Most Gracious God a fasting (of silence) and I shall not speak to any human being today”. |
|
فَأَتَتْ بِهِ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهُ قَالُوا يَا مَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْئًا فَرِيًّا |
|
27- |
She then brought him (the baby Jesus) to her
people, carrying him. They said: “O Mary, you have brought about a major thing (major problem)”, |
|
يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ امْرَأَ سَوْءٍ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا |
|
28- |
"O sister of Aaron, your father was not a bad man (to commit any wrong act) and your mother was not unchaste”. 1 |
|
فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي الْمَهْدِ صَبِيًّا |
|
29- |
(For the answer,) she then pointed to him
(baby Jesus). They said: “How can we talk to a child in the crib (cradle). |
|
قَالَ إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ آتَانِيَ الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيًّا |
|
30- |
He (the baby Jesus) said: "I am indeed the servant of God, He has already given me the Book and made me a prophet”, |
|
وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوْصَانِي بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا |
|
31- |
"And He has made me blessed wherever I may be
and He advised me about prayer and charity spending as long as I live”. |
|
وَبَرًّا بِوَالِدَتِي وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا |
|
32- |
"And He made me kind to my mother and He did not make me an arrogant bully, to be doomed”. |
|
وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا |
|
33- |
"And peace is upon me the day I was born, the day I die and the day I shall be raised up alive”. |
|
ذَلِكَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ |
|
34- |
This is the story of Jesus, son of Mary, the statement of truth, about which people have doubts and dispute. |
|
مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ سُبْحَانَهُ إِذَا قَضَى أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ |
|
35- |
There is no way that God would beget a son
(as the so-called Christians claim), Glory to Him, He is beyond (all that imaginations and claims). When He decides about a decree, He would only say to it: “Be” and it comes into being. |
|
وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ هَذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ |
|
36- |
And (Jesus said:) In fact God is my Lord and
your Lord, so worship Him (not others). That is the straight and correct path (to happiness). |
|
فَاخْتَلَفَ الْأَحْزَابُ مِن بَيْنِهِمْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن مَّشْهَدِ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ |
|
37- |
Later on, groups of sects arose to have
difference of opinion between them (some believed in him as a prophet and some who disbelieved in him, claimed him to be the son of God). Therefore woe to the disbelievers at the Meeting Place of witnesses (Jesus and others with the permission of God) on the Great Day (of Resurrection and Reckoning). |
|
أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَا لَكِنِ الظَّالِمُونَ الْيَوْمَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
38- |
How well they (the disbelievers) will listen
and perceive (the truth) on the Day (of Resurrection) when they come to Us (at the Witness Stand). But for now and today, the unjust (the polytheists) are in evident error. |
|
وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ |
|
39- |
(O Muhammad) warn them of the Day of
Regret when their case is judged upon, while (now) they are in the state of unawareness and they are not believing (in the absolute Oneness of God). |
|
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ |
|
40- |
Certainly We will inherit the earth and the
custody of all who are on it and they all shall be led back to
Us (in Our Custody and Judgment). |
|
وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا |
|
41- |
And also mention in the Book (the Quran) the
story of Abraham. He was indeed a man of truth, a Prophet. |
|
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنكَ شَيْئًا |
|
42- |
When he told his father: “O my father, why do you worship something which does not hear and does not see and is of no use to you at all?!” |
|
يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي قَدْ جَاءنِي مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِي أَهْدِكَ صِرَاطًا سَوِيًّا |
|
43- |
“O my father, indeed some of important
knowledge has come to me, some knowledge that has not come to
you yet. So follow me, I will guide you into a nice direction (of belief and behavior)”. |
|
يَا أَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَانَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَنِ عَصِيًّا |
|
44- |
“O my father, do not worship the devil
(Satan); as Satan was a disobedient rebel indeed towards The Most Gracious (God)”. |
|
يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَن فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَلِيًّا |
|
45- |
“O my father, I really fear a punishment will
reach you from the Most Gracious (God) and you would become then a companion of the devil. |
|
قَالَ أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنْ آلِهَتِي يَا إِبْراهِيمُ لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ وَاهْجُرْنِي مَلِيًّا |
|
46- |
He (the father) said: “Are you rejecting my
God, o you Abraham? If you don’t stop that, I will certainly stone you. So get away from me for a while (before I stone you)". |
|
قَالَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّي إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِي حَفِيًّا |
|
47- |
He (Abraham) said: “Peace be at you, I will
ask my Lord for forgiveness for you. Indeed He has been Very Kind to me”. |
|
وَأَعْتَزِلُكُمْ وَمَا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَأَدْعُو رَبِّي عَسَى أَلَّا أَكُونَ بِدُعَاء رَبِّي شَقِيًّا |
|
48- |
“And I shall keep away from you and what you
call upon and pray to, other than God and I pray to my Lord with the hope that I will not be unworthy in praying to my Lord”. |
|
فَلَمَّا اعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا نَبِيًّا |
|
49- |
Later when he turned away from them and from
those things that they worshiped, We blessed him with Isaac and Jacob (his grandson) and We appointed each of them to be a Prophet. |
|
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا |
|
50- |
And We granted them of Our Mercy and We let them have a tongue for truthfulness with high reputation. |
|
وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مُوسَى إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا |
|
51- |
Also mention in the Book (the Quran) about
Moses. He was indeed a devoted servant (to God) and he was a Messenger, a Prophet. |
|
وَنَادَيْنَاهُ مِن جَانِبِ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنَاهُ نَجِيًّا |
|
52- |
And We called him from the right side of the
Mount (Sinai, to receive the Commandments) and made him closer to Us for guiding and saving (his people). |
|
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ مِن رَّحْمَتِنَا أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ نَبِيًّا |
|
53- |
And out of Our Mercy, We granted him his brother Aaron, also as a Prophet (to help him). |
|
وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا |
|
54- |
Also mention in the Book (the Quran) about
Ishmael. He was truly sincere in his promise and he was a Messenger, a Prophet. |
|
وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِ مَرْضِيًّا |
|
55- |
And he used to encourage his family and
relatives to prayer and charity and he was pleased and was accepted by his Lord. |
|
وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِدْرِيسَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا |
|
56- |
And mention in the Book (the Quran) Enoch. Indeed he was a truthful man, a Prophet. |
|
وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا |
|
57- |
And We raised him to a high status. |
|
أُوْلَئِكَ
الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِن
ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا |
|
58- |
There were the ones, to whom God bestowed His
Grace from among the Prophets, from the descendents of Adam and of the descendents of those whom We had carried with Noah (in the ship) and of the descendents of Abraham and Israel (Jacob) and from among those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Verses and lessons of the Most Gracious (God) were recited to them, they went down in prostration and were moved into weeping. |
|
فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا |
|
59- |
But then after them, others came as their
successors, who were careless about prayer and followed their
lust. So they will reach the result of their diversion (from the straight path, in the Hereafter), |
|
إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَأُوْلَئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا |
|
60- |
Except those of them who repented and really
believed and went on to do righteous good deeds. Therefore they will enter Paradise and they won’t be wronged at all. |
|
جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَنُ عِبَادَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَأْتِيًّا |
|
61- |
(They shall enter) Everlasting Gardens [of
Paradise] which
the Most Gracious (God) has promised His good servants in the yet unseen future. Certainly His Promise will come to be realized and fulfilled. |
|
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَامًا وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا |
|
62- |
They shall not hear in there any dirty talk
or nonsense, but peaceful talk and greeting. And they will have their nutrition there mornings on into the night. |
|
تِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي نُورِثُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا مَن كَانَ تَقِيًّا |
|
63- |
Such is the Garden (of Paradise) which We shall let Our servants who were pious (God-conscious), inherit. |
|
وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا |
|
64- |
And (angels would be saying:) we do not send down (any Verses or any Blessings) except by Command of your Lord. Whatever we have available now, in the future or in the past or in between, belongs to Him and your Lord has never been forgetful. |
|
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا |
|
65- |
(He is) The Lord of the heavens and the earth and
whatever exists in between those, therefore worship Him only and be steady and persevere in His worship. Do you know anyone with similar names and qualities as He is? |
|
وَيَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ أَئِذَا مَا مِتُّ لَسَوْفَ أُخْرَجُ حَيًّا |
|
66- |
And mankind (still would question and) would say: “When I die, do I get to be raised alive again?” |
|
أَوَلَا يَذْكُرُ الْإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئًا |
|
67- |
Does mankind not remember or grasp the fact that We created him before while he was nothing? |
|
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيَاطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيًّا |
|
68- |
So by your Lord, We shall definitely gather
them and the devils together, then We shall certainly bring them around the Hell on their knees. |
|
ثُمَّ لَنَنزِعَنَّ مِن كُلِّ شِيعَةٍ أَيُّهُمْ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الرَّحْمَنِ عِتِيًّا |
|
69- |
Then We shall drag out from every sect all
those who were most serious
in their rebellion towards the Most Gracious (God). |
|
ثُمَّ لَنَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِالَّذِينَ هُمْ أَوْلَى بِهَا صِلِيًّا |
|
70- |
Then of course We know best those who are deserving most to be burn there. |
|
وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِيًّا |
|
71- |
And there is not a single one of you
(mankind) but that will enter it to see (the Hell); this is a certain Decree, already decided by your Lord. |
|
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا |
|
72- |
Then We save those who were pious
(God-conscious, from Hell while they get to see what is
happening to the evil ones) and We let the unjust dishonest ones in there (humbled) on their knees. |

وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَيُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَامًا وَأَحْسَنُ نَدِيًّا |
|
73- |
And whenever Our clear Verses and Lessons
were read to them, those who disbelieved (the rich and famous among the people) would say to those who have believed: “Which group (the poor believers or the disbelievers) is in a better position or status and in a nicer situation in the (town) council and power?” |
|
َ وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَاثًا وَرِئْيًا |
|
74- |
(But they should remember) How many a
generation of the past We have destroyed before them, who were better in worldly goods and in appearances. |
|
قُلْ مَن
كَانَ فِي الضَّلَالَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ مَدًّا
حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ |
|
75- |
(O Muhammad) say: Whoever is in error (and
prefers to stay in it), the Most Gracious (God) will still prolong his time for a while until they see what they have been promised, be it either the punishment (in this world) or at the Hour (Time of Judgment Day in the Hereafter) and they shall come to find out who is really in worst place and who is weaker in regards to forces. |
|
وَيَزِيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدًى وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا |
|
76- |
And it is so that God increases the guidance
for those who accepted and followed the right way. And the righteous good deeds which remain and last, are better by your Lord as a measure of reward and it is a better measure of value to refer to. (not how much wealth is left for the heirs or how much power one had in his or her lifetime). |
|
أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا |
|
77- |
Did you notice the one who denied and
rejected Our Verses (of the Quran) and said: “I will certainly be given wealth and children (when and if I would be alive again)”. |
|
أَاطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًا |
|
78- |
Did he get knowledge from the unseen future or did he get a promise from the Most Gracious (God)? |
|
كَلَّا سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا |
|
79- |
Not so, but We shall record what he says and We shall prolong and increase his punishment. |
|
وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا |
|
80- |
And We inherit and get custody of all of what he says and he shall come to Us (for reckoning) all alone. |
|
وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لِّيَكُونُوا لَهُمْ عِزًّا |
|
81- |
And they took up gods besides God, so that they supposedly will cause them honor and power. |
|
كَلَّا سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا |
|
82- |
But they won’t be so (in the Hereafter), when they will reject their worship and will be opponents against them. |
|
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا |
|
83- |
Don’t you notice that We have sent the devils
to the disbelievers, who will cause them (by their incitement) a lot of evil and trouble. |
|
فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّا |
|
84- |
So don’t be hasty against them. We indeed let them have a good number (of days and chances). |
|
يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ وَفْدًا |
|
85- |
(Remember) The Day when We will gather the
pious and righteous people to the Most Gracious as a delegation (to receive honor and rewards). |
|
وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًا |
|
86- |
And We drive the sinners and criminals towards the Hell in their anxious thirsty state. |
|
لَا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًا |
|
87- |
They shall have no access to any intercession
except as a person who has received a promise or permission from the Most Gracious (God). |
|
وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَلَدًا |
|
88- |
And they (the polytheists, as well as some Christians) say: "God The Most Gracious has begotten a son” |
|
لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئًا إِدًّا |
|
89- |
Indeed you (who claim this nonsense) have made up a terrible evil thing. |
|
تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا |
|
90- |
From this (grave lie) could the heavenly bodies burst, the earth split apart and the mountains break down in pieces. |
|
أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَنِ وَلَدًا |
|
91- |
That they claim a son for the Most Gracious God. |
|
وَمَا يَنبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا |
|
92- |
There is no way that the Most Gracious God would choose a son. |
|
إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آتِي الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدًا |
|
93- |
There never has been anything in the heavens
and the earth, except that it has come to being as a servant of the Most Gracious God. |
|
لَقَدْ أَحْصَاهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا |
|
94- |
He has determined and He is well aware of their conditions and their numbers (of all beings). |
|
وَكُلُّهُمْ آتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَرْدًا |
|
95- |
And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection. |
|
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ وُدًّا |
|
96- |
Certainly those who have believed and have
done good deeds, the Most Gracious will provide for them those who love them, will make then the subject of love and affection by others |
|
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًا لُّدًّا |
|
97- |
(O Muhammad) Indeed We have made it (the
Quran) easy on your tongue so that by its means
(the Quran), you could give good news to pious people and to warn those who are belligerent. |
|
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا |
|
98- |
How many generations We have destroyed who
lived before them. Do you sense anything from them or do you hear any slightest voice of them? |
