Translation of the Holy Quran by Dr. Gilani

 

The Believers  -  Chapter 23                |                                     Contains 118 Verses – Mecca   

 

 بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

 

1-

Certainly the believers will succeed and they will be happy.

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ

 

2-

Those who are humble during their prayers,

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

 

3-

And those who avoid nonsense (vain talk, gossip, and vain activities),

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلُونَ

 

4-

And those who are active in their giving of charity,

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ

 

5-

And those who protect their chastity and guard their sex,

إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

 

6-

Except toward their spouses or their women whose custody they have taken
(in marriage such as widows as a result of wars etc),
in which instance they will have no blame

فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاء ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ

 

7-

But then whoever seeks beyond this limit, such persons will be as transgressors (of God’s Rules).

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ

 

8-

And those who are faithful and respectful in regard to protecting their trusts and promises (to God and to people).

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

 

9-

And those who carefully guard and care about their regular prayers.

أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ

 

10-

They will be the true inheritors.

الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

 

11-

They are those who will inherit the Paradise, and they will reside and stay there forever.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ

 

12-

And indeed We have created mankind from the ingredients of the ground,

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ

 

13-

We then placed him as a sperm-copulated ovum in a safe location (in the womb).

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا
      فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ

 

14-

Then We processed the creation of the sperm-copulated ovum into a suspended little worm-shaped state,
then processed this suspended shape into an embryonic lump,
further We processed this lamp into bones, then We covered the bones with flesh (muscles),
then We brought him (or her) into another creation (of human beings, by granting them spirit).
So Blissful is God, the Best of creators.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ

 

15-

Then after all that, surely you will die.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ

 

16-

Then again on the Day of Resurrection, you will surely be raised up (from the graves).

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَائِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غَافِلِينَ

 

17-

And We have indeed created seven layers (in the sky) above you
and We have never been unaware of the creation.    1

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّا عَلَى ذَهَابٍ بِهِ لَقَادِرُونَ

 

18-

And We have sent down water from the sky ( the original formats of water) in due measure
and We then caused it to reside in the earth
and We are of course able to take it away.           2

فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

 

19-

And by that (water), We made it appear for you gardens of date-palms and grapes,
in which there are many fruits for you and of which you eat.

وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَاء تَنبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْآكِلِينَ 

 

20-

And that tree (olive tree) that grows out from Mount Sinai area,
which grows to produce oil and it is a delicacy for the eaters (who appreciate good food).

وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً نُّسقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

 

21-

And certainly in the cattle, there is a lesson for you to ponder,
We let you drink (the milk) of that which is in their inside
and there are numerous benefits for you in them and that you eat of them.

وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ

 

22-

And on them and also on ships you get carried and transported.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

 

23-

And We indeed sent Noah to his people (as Messenger),
he then said: “O my people, worship only God; there is no other true god for you but Him.
Will you then not be mindful and conscious? (of Him and avoid worshipping others than God)”.

فَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ مَا هَذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ
      عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَاء اللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَائِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَذَا فِي آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ

 

24-

Then the chiefs of his people who disbelieved said:
“This man (Noah) is no more than a human being like you who is trying to show himself superior over you
and if God had willed, He would surely have sent down angels.
We never heard this kind of thing from our forefathers”,

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا بِهِ حَتَّى حِينٍ

 

25-

"He is only a man, with madness, so bear with him for a while”.

قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ

 

26-

He (Noah) said: “O my Lord, help me as they deny me and call me a liar”.

فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَاء أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ فَاسْلُكْ فِيهَا
      مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِي فِي الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ

 

27-

So We revealed to him: “Construct and build the ship under Our Direct Supervision and guiding Revelation.
Then when Our Command comes and water gushes forth from the baking ovens,        3
then take of each pairs (of your animals) two pairs males and females and your family,
except those against whom the Word (of punishment against them) was already announced (to you) of their fate.
And don’t speak to Me (to salvage and save) those who committed wrong behaviors 
(by worshiping idols and doing other wrongs), they will definitely be drowned.

فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّانَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

 

28-

And when you have boarded properly on the ship, together with those who are with you, then say:
“All praise to God, Who has saved us from the wrong-doing unjust people”.

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِي مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنزِلِينَ

 

29-

Also say:
“O my Lord, cause me to land down at a blessed place, for You are the Best to give a good place to land and to settle”.

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ وَإِن كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ

 

30-

In reality, in this (story of Noah and his people), there are lessons
and for sure We are putting people to the test and trial.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا آخَرِينَ

 

31-

Then after them, We created another generation.

فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِنْهُمْ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

 

32-

We then sent a Messenger from among themselves to tell them:
“Worship God only, there is no god worthy of worship for you other than Him.
Aren’t you going to take heed and be mindful?”

وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِلِقَاء الْآخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَاهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا
      مَا هَذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ

 

33-

And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter
to whom We have given ease and comforts of this life, said:
“This guy is none but a human being like you, he eats of the same foods that you eat and drinks of the same as you drink”.

وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُم بَشَرًا مِثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ

 

34-

"And if you obey a person like yourselves, then you will be the losers”.

أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنتُمْ تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَنَّكُم مُّخْرَجُونَ

 

35-

“Is he promising you that when you die and become dust and bones, you are brought out (of graves alive)?”

هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ

 

36-

“Far out of question, so far-fetched is what you are being promised”.

إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ

 

37-

"There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and we are not going to be raised up resurrected”.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

 

38-

“He is only a man who has invented a lie, relating it to God and we are not going to believe him”.

قَالَ رَبِّ انصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ

 

39-

He (the Messenger) said: “O my Lord, help me against their accusations of lie which they have against me”.

قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَيُصْبِحُنَّ نَادِمِينَ

 

40-

God said: “After a little while, they will surely become regretful”.

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ غُثَاء فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

 

41-

So the blast (of Our Punishment) overwhelmed them justly, and We made them like rubbish of dead plants.
So away with those evil-doing folk

ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا آخَرِينَ

 

42-

Then after them, We gave rise to new generations.

مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ

 

43-

No nation's term can advance, nor can they delay or postpone it.

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا كُلَّ مَا جَاء أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

 

44-

Then We sent Messengers one after another.
Every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they accused him of lying,
So We made them follow one another (to death) and We made them as history lessons.
So down and away with people who do not believe.

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى وَأَخَاهُ هَارُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

 

45-

Then also We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our Messages and manifest authority,

إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا عَالِينَ

 

46-

To the Pharaoh and his influential chiefs, but they behaved arrogantly
and they were people who glorified themselves (above the Messengers of God).

فَقَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَابِدُونَ

 

47-

They said: “Shall we believe in these two guys who are similar to us and while their people are our obedient slaves?”

فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِينَ

 

48-

So they accused both of them as being liars, but they became of those who were destroyed (drowned).

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ

 

49-

And indeed We gave Moses the Book (Torah), so that they become guided.

وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ آيَةً وَآوَيْنَاهُمَا إِلَى رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَمَعِينٍ

 

50-

And We made the son of Mary (Jesus) and his mother a symbol (of Our Grace)
and We provided for both, a lofty place with lasting restfulness, tranquility, security and flowing spring.

يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ

 

51-

(To each We said:) “O you Messengers, enjoy of clean lawful provisions and foods and do righteous good works.
Indeed I have full knowledge of all that you do”.

وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونِ

 

52-

And in realty this religion of yours is one single religion and I am your Lord, so be mindful and conscious of Me.

فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ

 

53-

But then, they (who have been supposed to follow the Messenger,)
broke up their status of religion into sects and groups among themselves,
each group being happy with the ceremonies and beliefs available to them.

فَذَرْهُمْ فِي غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ

 

54-

So leave them in their confused ignorance until a future time.

أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِ مِن مَّالٍ وَبَنِينَ

 

55-

Do they assume that just because We provided them plenty of wealth and children,

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ

 

56-

That We would speed up granting them on every good?
Not so, but they don’t realize (that it is a test and trial).

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ

 

57-

Indeed those (others) who live in awe of their Lord, being fearful (not to disobey Him),

وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ

 

58-

And those who believe in the Verses (the Messages) of their Lord,

وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ

 

59-

And those who do not associate anyone or anything in worship with their Lord,

وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوا وَّقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ رَاجِعُونَ

 

60-

And those who give (in charity) of what they were given,
while their hearts trembling at the thought that they will ultimately be returning to their Lord,

أُوْلَئِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ

 

61-

They are the ones who hasten usually in good deeds and they are at its forefronts.

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

 

62-

And We do not task or burden anyone more than his or her capability,
for with Us there is a Book which spells out the truth (about their deeds)
and they (mankind) will never be treated unjustly, none will be wronged.

بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ مِّنْ هَذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَالٌ مِن دُونِ ذَلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ

 

63-

But (as to the unbelievers,) their hearts are in a confused ignorance about all this (the Quran)
and they have behavior and deeds which are other than mentioned above (regarding the believers),
which they will continue to act upon,

حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِالْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْأَرُونَ

 

64-

Until We seize those of them who are given to luxuries and pleasures, to suffer, then they will cry out praying.

لَا تَجْأَرُوا الْيَوْمَ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ

 

65-

(They will be told:) “Don’t cry aloud today, for you won’t get any help from Us”.

قَدْ كَانَتْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ

 

66-

“Time and time again My Verses (My Messages) were being read to you, but you used to turn back on your heels
(shunning and refusing them with contempt)".

مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ 

 

67-

“Feeling arrogant against them, talking evil about it (the Quran) into the night”.

أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَاءهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ آبَاءهُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

 

68-

Why don’t they ponder over the Word (of God)?
Or is it because something came to them, that had not come to their forefathers long ago?

أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ

 

69-

Or is it that they don’t recognize their Messenger (Muhammad), so they reject him?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ بَلْ جَاءهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ

 

70-

Or else they say: “There is madness in him”.
But he has brought them the truth and most of them dislike and detest the truth, (therefore they reject him).

وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ أَهْوَاءهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ

 

71-

And if the truth would have followed their desires,
the heavens and the earth and whatever is within them would certainly have been ruined in corruption.
But We brought them their needed Reminder (for their own good), but then they turn away and avoid their Reminder.

أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

 

72-

Or do you (Muhammad) ever ask them for any wage or expense?
(which you never do,) Since the wage from your Lord is far better and He is the Best Provider.

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

 

73-

And certainly you (Muhammad) call and invite them onto the straight, correct way of life.

 وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ لَنَاكِبُونَ

 

74-

And for sure those who do not believe in the Hereafter, are far astray, deviated from this way.

وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَاهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوا فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

 

75-

And if We show them Mercy and remove whatever distress had befallen them,
they would still persist in their revolt and transgression, blindly wandering around.

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

 

76-

And in fact We seized such persons through suffering and punishment,
but they still did not humble themselves to their Lord and did not invoke Him for help in distress,

حَتَّى إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ

 

77-

Until We opened up a gate of severe punishment to them, then they broke down in despair.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ

 

78-

He is the One, Who created for you the hearing (ears) and the eyes (the sight) and the mind (to perceive the truth);
how little and so few of you give thanks.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

 

79-

And He is the One, Who spread you on earth and unto Him you shall be gathered.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

 

80-

And He is the One, Who gives life and causes death,
and the alternation and difference of night and day is all by Him (by His Command).
Will you then not use your reasoning and think about it?

بَلْ قَالُوا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُونَ

 

81-

But (the unbelievers) say similar things to what the people of previous generations used to say.

قَالُوا أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَئِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

 

82-

They said: “When we are dead and become dust and bones, are we going to be to raised up again alive?”

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَذَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

 

83-

“Indeed we and our forefathers had been promised this before; this is nothing but old tales of ancient times”.

قُل لِّمَنِ الْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهَا إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ 

 

84-

Say to them: “To whom belongs the earth and whoever and all that is on it, if you know?”

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

 

85-

They will reply: “To God”.
Say to them: “Will you then not be mindful (of His Might and His Words)?”

قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

 

86-

Say: “Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Great Dominion (of all that exists in the galaxies)?”     4

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

 

87-

They will say: “All that belongs to God”.
Say to them : “Why are you then not conscious (of Him)?”.

قُلْ مَن بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

 

88-

Say: “In whose hand rest the sovereignty and controls of all things and who is the One Who protects,
but there is no protection against Him, if you know (the answer)?”

سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ فَأَنَّى تُسْحَرُونَ

 

89-

They will say: “All that belongs to God”.
Say: “Why are you then deluded (away from His Guidance)?”

بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

 

90-

But We did bring them (the Messages of the Quran) in truth and they are the ones who are truly liars

90- حقيقت اینست که ما پیام حق قرآن را برایشان آوردیم، ولی آنها مردمی ضد حق و دروغ پیشه‌اند.

 

مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

 

91-

Never did God beget or choose any son and there is no one along with Him as God or divine.
(If there were other divine entities, ) then each god would have taken what he had created, trying to overcome others.
Glory to God, He is beyond all that they attribute to Him (such as son of God etc).

عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

 

92-

He is All Knowing of the hidden and the unseen and the visible.
Then (know that) He is above and beyond all that they associate as partners to Him

قُل رَّبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّي مَا يُوعَدُونَ

 

93-

Say: "O my Lord, would you please let me see what was promised to them".

رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي فِي الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

 

94-

O my Lord, please do not place me among the evil behaving people.

وَإِنَّا عَلَى أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمْ لَقَادِرُونَ

 

95-

(God saying:) "We are certainly capable to show you what We have been promising them.

ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ

 

96-

(but you, the Prophet) Respond to their misbehavior in the best possible way.
We know best what they make up and fabricate.

وَقُل رَّبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ

 

97-

And say: "I take refuge to You from the influence of the temptations of the devils".  

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحْضُرُونِ

 

98-

And I take refuge to You my Lord from them appearing in front of me.

حَتَّى إِذَا جَاء أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ رَبِّ ارْجِعُونِ

 

99-

(They keep on with their evil behavior) until death reaches them, at which time they would say:
"Our Lord, (o you angels), take me back to life,

لَعَلِّي أَعْمَلُ صَالِحًا فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ كَلَّا إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَائِلُهَا وَمِن وَرَائِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

 

100-

So that I may correct what I have been negligent about.
(they will be told:) "No way, these are just some (vain) words which that person is saying 
(since if he is returned, he would repeat the same behavior again),
and beyond their death, there is an interval period till the Day (of Resurrection)
when they will be raised up again alive.  

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَلَا أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَاءلُونَ

 

101-

Then when the trumpet (for Resurrection) is blown,
there will be no influence of any relationship between them,
nor will they ask about one another or each other any questions.

فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

 

102-

Then those whose weight (of righteous deeds) is heavy in the balance,
they are the ones who will be in state of happiness.

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدُونَ

 

103-

And those whose (good deeds) are very light (compared to their evil deeds),
they will be the ones who have harmed and lost their own personalities (and standings),
they will remain in Hell for ever.

تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ النَّارُ وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَالِحُونَ

 

104-

The Fire scorches their faces and they will remain there, with their faces and lips grimly distorted.

أَلَمْ تَكُنْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

 

105-

(They will be told:) “Were My Verses (My Messages) not read to you, but you kept on rejecting them as lies?”

قَالُوا رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا شِقْوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوْمًا ضَالِّينَ

 

106-

They will say: “O our Lord, our evil character and bad luck overcame us and so we went astray as a group together”.

رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ

 

107-

“Our Lord, take us out of this (place and condition),
then if we go back (to evil behavior), then indeed we should be considered as unjust and evil-doers”.

قَالَ اخْسَؤُوا فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ

 

108-

He will say: “Get lost into it, and do not speak to Me (like this)”.

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِي يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

 

109-

(Remember that) They were certain people of My servants who used to pray:
“O our Lord, we have believed, so please forgive our sins and grant Your Mercy on us as You are the Best Merciful”.

فَاتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّى أَنسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِي وَكُنتُم مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ

 

110-

“You then made them as target of your ridicule,
to the point that your ridicule made you forget to remember Me and My Message, and you kept on laughing at them”.

إِنِّي جَزَيْتُهُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ

 

111-

“I have rewarded them this Day for their patience in times of hardship;
they are indeed the ones who have achieved success in happiness”.

قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ

 

112-

He will say: “How many years did you stay on earth?”

قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَاسْأَلْ الْعَادِّينَ

 

113-

They will say: “We stayed a day or part of a day; but ask those who could keep account”.

قَالَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا لَّوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

 

114-

He will say: “You stayed only a little while, if you only would have known
(how to behave in that short time on earth)”.

أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ عَبَثًا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ

 

115-

“Did you think then that We created you idly and for nonsense
and that you won’t be returning to Us (for Reckoning)?”,

فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ

 

116-

So (know that) God is Supremely High, the True King, the Ultimate Truth.
There is no real god except He, the Lord of Dominion of all existence, the Very Generous.

 وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ 

 

117-

And anyone who invokes or prays to any other god, besides God, has no proof for it,
then of course his Reckoning will be with his true Lord.
In reality the disbelievers will not succeed to attain real happiness.

وَقُل رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

 

118-

And say: “O my Lord, grant (me) Forgiveness and Mercy, for You are the Best of all who show mercy”.
