Translation of the Holy Quran by Dr. Gilani |
|
The Ants - Chapter 27 | Contains 93 Verses – Mecca |
|
|
طس تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
1- |
Ta. Sin. These are the Verses of the Quran and ultimately a Book which explains. 1 |
|
هُدًى وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ. |
|
2- |
A guide to the right path and good news for the believers. |
|
الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُم بِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ |
|
3- |
Those who keep up and stand up for regular prayers and
give Zakat (mandatory charity) and are certain about the Hereafter (the Resurrection of all, rewards for good deeds, punishment for evil deeds, Paradise and Hell). |
|
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ |
|
4- |
For those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We let their acts seem fair to them, so they wonder about without real insight. |
|
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ |
|
5- |
They are the ones, who will have a very bad
punishment and suffering and they will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter (as they have no good deeds to present and all their effort during the life on earth were for the life of the world and do not count for the Hereafter, as they were not intended for). |
|
وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى الْقُرْآنَ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ |
|
6- |
And in reality you (Muhammad) are being
certainly inspired and taught the Quran from the One, Who is All Wise, All Knowing. |
|
إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَى لِأَهْلِهِ إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارًا سَآتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ آتِيكُم بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ |
|
7- |
(Remember) when Moses told his family: “I
have indeed noticed a fire, far away; I will bring you some news about it or I will bring you a burning brand, so that you could warm yourselves”. |
|
فَلَمَّا جَاءهَا نُودِيَ أَن بُورِكَ مَن فِي النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ |
|
8- |
Then when he reached it, he was called: “Blessed is the one who is at the fire and anyone around it and Glory to God, Who is Beyond all, The Lord of all the worlds with all that exist.” |
|
يَا مُوسَى إِنَّهُ أَنَا اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ |
|
9- |
“O Moses, truly I am God, the All Might, All Wise”, |
|
وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَانٌّ وَلَّى مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ يَا مُوسَى لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّي لَا يَخَافُ لَدَيَّ الْمُرْسَلُونَ |
|
10- |
"Now throw down your stick”. But when he saw it moving like a snake, he turned back surprised, fearful and did not look back. (He was called back:) “O Moses, don’t be afraid, as in fact the Messengers don’t fear in my Presence”. |
|
إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًا بَعْدَ سُوءٍ فَإِنِّي غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |
|
11- |
“Also the ones who had done wrong, then after
doing wrong, changed his behavior to goodness, (they should know that) surely I am Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people)”. 2 |
|
وَأَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِي جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاء مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ فِي تِسْعِ آيَاتٍ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ |
|
12- |
“Also put your hand to the front part of your
chest inside your clothes, it will come out shining white, without having anything wrong with it. With nine miracles you will be going to the Pharaoh and his people, which are real evil acting people”. |
|
فَلَمَّا جَاءتْهُمْ آيَاتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
13- |
But when Our miracles and eye opening lessons came to them, clearly visible, they said: “this is an evident magic”. |
|
وَجَحَدُوا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَا أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ |
|
14- |
And in their injustice and arrogance, they
rejected them, even though inside they were convinced of it. So see what was the end of the mischievous people. |
|
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ عِلْمًا وَقَالَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي فَضَّلَنَا عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
|
15- |
And indeed We gave special knowledge to David
and Solomon and they both said: “All praise and thanks to God Who preferred us much over many of His believing servants”. |
|
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُودَ وَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ |
|
16- |
And Solomon inherited (the knowledge and
kingdom of) David and said: “O people, we have been taught the language of birds and have been granted of all good things. This in fact is an evident Grace (of God)”. |
|
وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ |
|
17- |
(And at one time), his hosts of supporters
including Jinns, humans, and birds were gathered before Solomon,
3 as they were set to march (toward some destination). |
|
حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى وَادِي النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا مَسَاكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ |
|
18- |
Until they came to the valley of the ants.
(at which time) an ant said: “O ants, get into your dwellings, so that Solomon and his marching army don’t trample and crush you, while they are not aware of their steps". |
|
فَتَبَسَّمَ
ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ
نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ |
|
19- |
And a laughing person (Solomon) smiled at its
words, and said:
3.5 “My Lord, Grant me the insight that I may appreciate and thank You for Your favor which You have granted on me and my parents and that I may do good righteous deeds that You will be satisfied with and that You admit me by Your Mercy to be among Your righteous servants”. |
|
وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِيَ لَا أَرَى الْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَائِبِينَ |
|
20- |
He also checked the birds and said: “What is the matter that I do not see the hoopoe? Is it possible that it is absent?” |
|
لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَذْبَحَنَّهُ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّي بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
21- |
I will surely punish it severely or even slaughter it unless it comes up with a clear reason”. |
|
فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ |
|
22- |
It did not waste a long time, as it arrived
and said (to Solomon): “I have found out something that you have not and I have brought you a certain news from Sheba (present day Yemen)”. |
|
إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ |
|
23- |
I found a woman ruling over them and she has been given everything and has a great throne”. |
|
وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ |
|
24- |
“I also noted that she and her people
prostrate themselves, worshipping the sun, instead of God and Satan made their acts seem fair to them, holding them off the right way, so that they are not guided”. |
|
أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ |
|
25 |
"So far that they do not prostrate themselves
to worship God, Who brings out to light, the secrets of the heavens and the earth and knows what you hide and what you reveal”. 4 |
|
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ |
|
26- |
Allah: God. No one is worthy of worship
except He, Who is the Lord over the entire Great Dominion. |
|
قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ |
|
27- |
Solomon said: “We shall see if you told the truth or said lies”. |
|
اذْهَب بِّكِتَابِي هَذَا فَأَلْقِهْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُونَ |
|
28- |
"Go now with this letter of mine, deliver it to them, then draw back from them and watch what they answer in return”. |
|
قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ إِنِّي أُلْقِيَ إِلَيَّ كِتَابٌ كَرِيمٌ |
|
29- |
She (the queen of Sheba) said: “O chiefs, an important letter was delivered to me,” |
|
إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
|
30- |
“It is from Solomon and it starts with ‘In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful”, |
|
أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيَّ وَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ |
|
31- |
(saying also:) “Do not try to be superior to me and come to me in submission, as Muslims”. |
|
قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي أَمْرِي مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْرًا حَتَّى تَشْهَدُونِ |
|
32- |
She said: “O chiefs, give me your advice and
verdict in this matter of mine, as I never decided on any important matter without you being present”. |
|
قَالُوا نَحْنُ أُوْلُوا قُوَّةٍ وَأُولُوا بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَالْأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَانظُرِي مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ |
|
33- |
They said: “We have great power and strong
military hardware, but decision on the matter is up to you and see whatever you order us to do”. |
|
قَالَتْ إِنَّ الْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوا أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَا أَذِلَّةً وَكَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ |
|
34- |
She said: “Really, when kings enter a town,
they cause lots of harm to it and they turn the most noble of its inhabitants into lowest level of the society; and such things they do”. |
|
وَإِنِّي مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ الْمُرْسَلُونَ |
|
35- |
“And in fact I am going to send a gift to them and wait to see what kind of response the messenger will bring back”. |
|
فَلَمَّا جَاء سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَا آتَانِيَ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا آتَاكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ |
|
36- |
Then when they (the messenger and the gift)
arrived to Solomon, he said: “Are you trying to help me with a valuable thing? Whereas what God has given me is much better that what He gave you. Nevertheless, you are happy with your gift”. |
|
ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ بِجُنُودٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُم بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُم مِّنْهَا أَذِلَّةً وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ |
|
37- |
Go back to them, so we will certainly come up
with armies to them which they can not confront and resist and we shall certainly drive them humiliated out of it, and they will be put down”. |
|
قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ |
|
38- |
He (Solomon) said: “O you elders, which one of
you could bring her throne (of the queen of Sheba), before they (she and her followers) come to me, willing to submit (to God)?” |
|
قَالَ عِفْريتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ وَإِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِينٌ |
|
39- |
One strong Jinn (of the invisible beings in
the service of Solomon) said: “I will bring it to you before you stand up from your seat. And I am certainly strong and trustworthy, capable to do it”. |
|
قَالَ
الَّذِي عِندَهُ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ
أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا
عِندَهُ |
|
40- |
One person who had special knowledge of the
Book (of God) said: “I will bring it to you before the twinkling of your eyes returns”. Then when he (Solomon) saw it (the throne) set besides him, he said: “This is from the Grace of my Lord, to test me, if I am being grateful or ungrateful. And whoever thanks (God), his thanking is for his own good (appreciation of His Blessings causes him or her to be a better and happier person). And whoever is ungrateful and unappreciative (it will be to his own lack of insight and happiness), then of course my Lord is Self-Sufficient-Rich, Most Generous in giving". 5 |
|
قَالَ نَكِّرُوا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِي أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ |
|
41- |
He (Solomon) said: “Alter, change somewhat on
her throne for her to see if she recognizes it and would be guided to the truth (by this miraculous transportation of her throne) or would she be one of those who will not be guided”. |
|
فَلَمَّا جَاءتْ قِيلَ أَهَكَذَا عَرْشُكِ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُ هُوَ وَأُوتِينَا الْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ |
|
42- |
So when she arrived, she was told: “Is this
like your throne?” She said: “It looks like it is it and we were already given the knowledge before that (miracle) and have become Muslims (surrendering ourselves to God)”. |
|
وَصَدَّهَا
مَا كَانَت تَّعْبُدُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِن
قَوْمٍ كَافِرِينَ |
|
43- |
(He, Salomon stopped her, Sheba from
worshipping any entity other than God.) What really had prevented her (from worshipping God Alone) was that she worshipped other deity than God, as she was from a people who disbelieved, denying the truth (the same way). |
|
قِيلَ لَهَا
ادْخُلِي الصَّرْحَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً
وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا قَالَ إِنَّهُ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّن
قَوَارِيرَ |
|
44- |
(After a while) she was told: “Enter the
palace court”. Then when she saw it, she thought it was a pool and she bared her legs (to wade through). Solomon said: “this is a palace-court made of (slabs of smooth) glass”. She said: “O my Lord, I had wronged my soul before, but now I submit myself with Solomon to God, the Lord of the worlds”. |
|
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِيقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ |
|
45- |
And indeed, We sent to the people of
‘Thamood’ their brother Saleh, advising them to worship only
God, but there they split into two groups, (some worshipping God only, others worshipping other than God,) quarreling with each other. |
|
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ |
|
46- |
Saleh said: “O my people, why do you seek to
haste for evil, before and instead of goodness? Why do you not ask God’s Forgiveness, so that you may receive Mercy?" |
|
قَالُوا اطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَّعَكَ قَالَ طَائِرُكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُونَ |
|
47- |
They (the disbelievers) said: "We
consider you and those with you as ill omen to us”. He said: “Your ill omen or bad luck comes from God (according to your behavior), the fact is that you are a people, being tested (so watch your behavior)”. |
|
وَكَانَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ |
|
48- |
And in the town, there were nine rascal men who made mischief in the land and would not improve or do any good. |
|
قَالُوا تَقَاسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُ وَأَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ |
|
49- |
They conspired saying: “Swear by God that we
will surely attack him (Saleh) and his family by night, when we of course would say to his heir that we did not witness the destruction (murder) of his family and we are surely telling the truth”. |
|
وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ |
|
50- |
And so they plotted and We planned a Divine plan (for them), while they were unaware of it. |
|
فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَاهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ |
|
51- |
Then see what and how was the end-result of their plot; that We destroyed them and their gang altogether. |
|
فَتِلْكَ بُيُوتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةً بِمَا ظَلَمُوا إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
52- |
So those are their houses all in ruin, for
they did wrong. Certainly in this, there is a lesson for people who know (right and wrong). |
|
وَأَنجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ |
|
53- |
And We saved those who believed and were God-conscious. |
|
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ |
|
54- |
And remember Lot, when he said to his people:
“Do you commit sinful acts while you even look at (your evil acts)?” |
|
أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاء بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ |
|
55- |
“Do you approach men with lust, instead of
women? But in fact you are an ignorant people (who don’t know right and wrong)”. |
|
فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا أَخْرِجُوا آلَ لُوطٍ مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ |
|
56- |
The answer of his people was nothing but that
they said: “Get the people (the followers) of Lot out of your town. They are really people who care for being pure and clean (of sins)". |
|
فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَاهَا مِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ |
|
57- |
So We saved him (Lot) and his folks, except his wife, whom We decreed to be of those left behind. |
|
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا فَسَاء مَطَرُ الْمُنذَرِينَ |
|
58- |
And We rained down on them a shower (of
rocks). Such an awful rain it was, on people who had been warned (of consequences of their evil acts). |
|
قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَى آللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
|
59- |
Say: “All praise and thanks to God and peace
be on His servants, whom He has chosen (to serve His Message).
Is God better or all those others which they join (with Him, worshipping them also)? |
|
أَمَّنْ
خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ
مَاء فَأَنبَتْنَا بِهِ حَدَائِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍ |
|
60- |
Isn’t He better to worship, Who created the
heavens and the earth and sends down water for you from the sky,
by which We cause beautiful garden, full of delight to grow? You do not have the ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there still another god (in their minds) besides God? The truth is that they try to justify their disbelief, trespassing the limits of reason (by attributing unrealistic powers or miracles to their gods and idols). |
|
أَمَّن جَعَلَ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَالَهَا أَنْهَارًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا أَإِلَهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
61- |
Or Who is the One Who has made the earth a
place of rest and placed rivers and streams in its tracks and placed firm mountains on it and caused a barrier between the two sees (of sweet and salty water)? Is there another god besides God? Of course not, but most of them (people) are not aware of this fact. |
|
أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاء الْأَرْضِ أَإِلَهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ |
|
62- |
Or Who is the One Who responds to the
distressed person, when he calls up to Him and He removes the distress and Who makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any real god besides God? So little is what you reflect and remember of Him. |
|
أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَن يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ أَإِلَهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ |
|
63- |
Who is the One, Who guides you in the deep
darknesses of the land and the sea and Who sends the winds, giving good news of His Mercy (Rain) to come? Is there any real god besides God? God is High Above all that which they associate as partners to Him. |
|
أَمَّن يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَمَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَإِلَهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ |
|
64- |
Who is the One Who initiated the creation in
the first place, thereafter He reproduces it and Who provides for you from the sky and from the earth? Is there a real god besides God? Say: “Come up with your proof if you are being truthful”. |
|
قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ |
|
65- |
Say: “No one in the heavens and the earth
knows the unseen and hidden reality of the existence except God and they even don’t know when they shall be raised (in the Hereafter)”, |
|
بَلِ ادَّارَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهَا بَلْ هُم مِّنْهَا عَمِونَ |
|
66- |
Neither their knowledge reaches details of
the Hereafter. They are even in doubt about it. They are even blind to it. |
|
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَئِذَا كُنَّا تُرَابًا وَآبَاؤُنَا أَئِنَّا لَمُخْرَجُونَ |
|
67- |
And those who disbelieve say: “When we and
our forefathers (past generations) have become dust, are we really going to be brought out alive again?” |
|
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَذَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ |
|
68- |
This indeed was promised to us and our forefathers before, these are nothing but old stories of the ancients”. |
|
قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ |
|
69- |
Say: “Travel on the earth and look at how was the end of disbelieving sinners”. |
|
وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِي ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ |
|
70- |
And don’t be sad (O Muhammad) about them
(that they don’t believe) and don’t be distressed or anxious of what false arguments they would plat. |
|
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ |
|
71- |
And they say: “When is this promise (of Resurrection or punishment) going to happen, if you are telling the truth?” |
|
قُلْ عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِي تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ |
|
72- |
Say: “May be some of that which you so hastily wish (to happen to you) has already gotten close to you”. |
|
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ |
|
73- |
And your Lord is truly full of Grace to
humankind (and gives them plenty of chances to correct themselves before any punishment gets to them), but most of them do not thank Him”. |
|
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ |
|
74- |
And of course your Lord knows quite well what is hidden in their chests (minds) and what they reveal. |
|
وَمَا مِنْ غَائِبَةٍ فِي السَّمَاء وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
75- |
And there is not a thing hidden in the
heaven and the earth except that it is all registered in a Clear Book (of God’s Design). |
|
إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ يَقُصُّ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَكْثَرَ الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ |
|
76- |
In reality, this Quran explains to the
Children of Israel (to the Jews) the truth about most of the matters in which they have differences of opinions. |
|
وَإِنَّهُ لَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ |
|
77- |
And it is truly a Guide and Mercy for the believers. |
|
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلِيمُ |
|
78- |
And certainly, your Lord will judge between
them by His Wisdom and Rule and He is the All Mighty, the All Knowing. |
|
فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْمُبِينِ |
|
79- |
So put all your trust in God, surely you (Muhammad) are on the clear truth. |
|
إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاء إِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِينَ |
|
80- |
Of course you can not invoke the dead (of the
heart) to hear, nor can you make the deaf to hear the call (to benefit from it), while they are fleeing , turning their back (on you). |
|
وَمَا أَنتَ بِهَادِي الْعُمْيِ عَن ضَلَالَتِهِمْ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِآيَاتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ |
|
81- |
And you can not guide the blinds (in the
heart, who can not get) out of their errors and confusions. You can only make hear and listen those who believe in Our Verses and submit themselves (to Our Guidance) as Muslims. |
|
وَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَابَّةً مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ |
|
82- |
And when the Word (of Promise) against them
is realized, We shall produce a moving being from the earth, which will talk to them, that people were not believing in Our Verses with certainty. |
|
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِآيَاتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ |
|
83- |
And (remember) the time and the Day when We
will gather a large group of every nation and creed who claimed Our Verses and Revelations were lies and denied them; they will then be made stand in rows (and taken for reckoning), |
|
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاؤُوا قَالَ أَكَذَّبْتُم بِآيَاتِي وَلَمْ تُحِيطُوا بِهَا عِلْمًا أَمَّاذَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |
|
84- |
Till they come (before God for Reckoning), He
will say: “Did you deny and called My Revelations and Verses as
lies, whereas you had no comprehensive knowledge about it? What in the world were you doing?” |
|
وَوَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِم بِمَا ظَلَمُوا فَهُمْ لَا يَنطِقُونَ |
|
85- |
And the Word (for punishment) against them is
fulfilled for the wrongs that they did, thereafter they won’t be able to say anything. |
|
أَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ |
|
86- |
Don’t they observe that We made the night, so
that they can rest during that time and We made the day, a time to see and be alert? Certainly in this phenomenon, there are many lessons for people who believe (in Him). |
|
وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَاء اللَّهُ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَاخِرِينَ |
|
87- |
And the Day when the Trumpet will be blown
and will be heard everywhere, all beings in the heavens and on the earth will be terrified (by it) except those whom God wants (not to be terrified) and all shall come to His Presence, humbled. |
|
وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِنَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ |
|
88- |
And you see the mountains, thinking them
to be solidly in place, while they move away like clouds (in
space). That is the Act and Art of God, Who completes the design and the destiny of everything perfectly. He is certainly All Aware of what you do. |
|
مَن جَاء بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ آمِنُونَ |
|
89- |
Whoever arrives there with good deeds, will
get better than that and they will be safe and immune from the terror of that Day. |
|
وَمَن جَاء بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِي النَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ |
|
90- |
Whoever arrives there with loads of evil
deeds, they will be cast down with their faces into the Fire,
(while being told:) “Are you being given back anything other than what you used to do?” |
|
إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ الَّذِي حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ |
|
91- |
(Say:) I have been commanded to worship the
Lord of this town (of Mecca), Who has made it sacred and to Whom belongs everything. And I have been commanded to be one of the Muslims (those who submit themselves to God’s Commands). |
|
وَأَنْ أَتْلُوَ الْقُرْآنَ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَى فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ |
|
92- |
And that I would read (and present) the Quran.
Therefore whoever receives guidance and adheres to it, then of course he or she is getting the guidance for his or her own good. And whoever goes the wrong way, say (to that person): I am only one of the warners (I can not force you to accept the guidance). |
|
وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ فَتَعْرِفُونَهَا وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ |
|
93- |
And say: “all praise and thanks to God, in
time He will show you His (promised) signs, so that you will recognize them. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do. |
