كَذَلِكَ يُوحِي إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

 

3-

In this way, the Almighty, All Wise God sends Revelation to you (Muhammad)
just as He sent to those Messengers before you.

لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

 

4-

To Him belong all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.
And He Alone is the Most High, the Most Great.

تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِن فَوْقِهِنَّ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ 

 

5-

The heavens could split apart from above them at anytime (by His Command),
as the angels gratefully praise their Lord and ask for Forgiveness for those living on earth. Be aware,
God is really Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to good people).

وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَولِيَاء اللَّهُ حَفِيظٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ

 

6-

As for those who assume other than God as their protectors,
God is Ever Watchful over their behavior and you are not responsible for them.

وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّتُنذِرَ أُمَّ الْقُرَى وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنذِرَ
      يَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ

 

7-

And so We revealed to you (Muhammad) the Quran, a Reading in an understandable Arabic,
so that you may warn first the main town (Mecca) inhabitants and the people surrounding it
and warn (them) of the coming Day of Gathering of all (at Resurrection), in which there should not be any doubt;
when one party will be in Garden (of Paradise) and another party in the blazing Fire (of Hell).

وَلَوْ شَاء اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَكِن يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَالظَّالِمُونَ مَا لَهُم مِّن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

 

8-

And if God had wanted, He could have made them all (by force) one nation (with one and the same creed),
but He lets anyone who desires and whom He desires, into His Mercy,
but the unjust evil-doers (with unreasonable beliefs and behavior),
won’t have any protector or helper (in the Hereafter).

أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاء فَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحْيِي المَوْتَى وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

 

9-

Or that they assume others than Him as their supposed protectors,
whereas God is really the True Protector
and He is the One who brings the dead to life and He is the One Who is Capable to do anything.

وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِن شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ

 

10-

And in whatever subject matter you have difference of opinion;
you should then refer to God’s Decision and Decree on that (in the Quran).
Say: “That is God, my Lord, in Him alone I put all my trust and I always return to Him
(for remembrance, for help and repentance).

فَاطِرُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَمِنَ الْأَنْعَامِ
      أَزْوَاجًا يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ

 

11-

(He is) The Originator of the heavens and the earth, He made mates from your own kind
and He made mates for cattle (and mammals) as well.
He multiplies you in that (pattern).          3
No one is like Him and He is All Hearing, All Observing.    

لَهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

 

12-

To Him belong the keys (to all secrets) of the heavens and the earth.
He expands and enlarges the livelihood and the means for whomever He wants or limits it,
as He indeed is All Aware over all things.

شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّى بِهِ نُوحًا وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى وَعِيسَى أَنْ أَقِيمُوا
      الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ اللَّهُ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَن يُنِيبُ

 

13-

He ordained for you the same kind of religion as He recommended to Noah
and it is the same what We have revealed to you (Muhammad) and recommended to Abraham and Moses and Jesus,
that you should stand up for your religion and should not split apart in it (don’t make sects).
It is a big problem for the polytheists, that (concept of One God only, to which you Muhammad) call them.
God chooses and accepts to Him, whom He wants (and who wants a way to Him)
and guides unto Himself, whoever keeps on turning to Him (for guidance, help etc.)

 وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوا إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّ
      الَّذِينَ أُورِثُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ

 

14-

Yet they caused divisions and split (into sects)
because of selfishness only after the knowledge (of God’s Revelations) had come to them.
And had it not been for the Word of your Lord to give them further chance to improve themselves,
until an appointed term, their fate would had been already decided upon.
And in reality those who were given the inheritance of the Scriptures after them
(the Jews and the Christians of the time), are still in serious doubt about it (the religion).

فَلِذَلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءهُمْ وَقُلْ آمَنتُ بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِن كِتَابٍ وَأُمِرْتُ لِأَعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمُ
      اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ لَا حُجَّةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ اللَّهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ

 

15-

So for this reason, invite them (to this religion) and keep up doing so as you have been commanded
and do not follow their personal desires (which are contrary to God’s religion).
And tell them: ”I believe in all the Books that God has sent down
and I have been commanded to cause tolerance and justice between you.
God is our Lord and your Lord.
We are responsible for our deeds and you are responsible for your own acts.
Let there be no personal quarrel between us and you.
God will gather us all together (in the Hereafter and judge between us).
And the final return is to Him.

وَالَّذِينَ يُحَاجُّونَ فِي اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ

 

16-

As for those who keep on arguing about (the Oneness of ) God after their acceptance of His Guidance,
(such as those Christians who say that they believe in One God but in fact they assume Jesus,
the Prophet and the Holy Spirit :Gabriel as god also),
their argument is worthless before their Lord and they will be subject to a wrath and will have a severe suffering.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمِيزَانَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٌ

 

17-

God is the One, who has sent down the Book (the Quran) for (the explanation of) the truth
and for establishment of balance and justice in the society.
And what makes you know about?
Maybe the Hour (of Judgment) is in the near future.

يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهَا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مُشْفِقُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُونَ
      أَنَّهَا الْحَقُّ أَلَا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي السَّاعَةِ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ

 

18-

Those who do not believe in it, oddly insist for it to happen soon,
while those who believe, are worried about it (as to what will be their judgment)
and they know for sure that it is the very truth.
But be aware, those who dispute and reject the concept of the Hour (of Judgment in the Hereafter life)
are truly far into confusion and error.

اللَّهُ لَطِيفٌ بِعِبَادِهِ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْقَوِيُّ العَزِيزُ

 

19-

God is Kind to His servants (creatures),
He gives livelihood to whomever He wants and He is the Powerful and Dominant Almighty.

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الْآخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهُ فِي حَرْثِهِ وَمَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤتِهِ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِن نَّصِيبٍ

 

20-

Whoever desires (by his or her deeds) the reward and harvest in the Hereafter,
We give him (or her) further increase in his (or her) reward.
And whoever desires only the reward of this world, We give him (or her) of that
but he (or she) won’t have any share in the Hereafter.

أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاء شَرَعُوا لَهُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَن بِهِ اللَّهُ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

 

21-

Or do they have gods, that they (the polytheists) associate (with God),
which supposedly have made for them religions, rituals and rules?
Some thing that God never allowed.
And had it not been for the decisive Word
(of God to give them chance to correct themselves), their fate would have already been judged upon.
And certainly the unjust and unreasonable people will get a painful suffering.

تَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا وَهُوَ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فِي
      رَوْضَاتِ الْجَنَّاتِ لَهُم مَّا يَشَاؤُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الكَبِيرُ

 

22-

You will see the unjust, unreasonable (polytheist) people (on the Judgment Day)
fearful and anxious about what they had earned (i.e. their deeds during their lifetime)
and that same result shall certainly happen to them.
But those who have believed and have done righteous good deeds,
will be in the flowering meadows of the gardens (of Paradise).
They will have whatever they desire, by their Lord. That is the real Grand Grace.

ذَلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ قُل لَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى
      وَمَن يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

 

23-

That is how God gives good news to those of His servants,
who have believed and have done righteous good deeds.
(O Muhammad) Say:
"I do not ask you for any reward for this except for your friendship and bond in kinship, for closeness to Me (God) ".
And whoever provides goodness, We shall increase goodness and beauty for him in it
(his or her goodness and good deeds), as God is really Very Forgiving and Very Appreciative.

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَإِن يَشَأِ اللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ وَيَمْحُ اللَّهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

 

24-

Or they (the nonbelievers) say: “He (Muhammad) has invented a lie against God.”
Whereas (if you had done such a thing,) if God wants, He would and could set seal upon your heart
(so that you would not be able to remember anything of the Quran)
and He wipes off falsehood and brings the truth to be realized (and understood) by His Words (in the Quran).
Truly He is Most Aware of the secrets in the hearts (of people).

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

 

25-

And He is the One, Who accepts repentance from His servants and forgives sins and knows whatever you do.

وَيَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ وَالْكَافِرُونَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ

 

26-

And He answers (the calls and prayers of) those who have believed and done righteous good deeds
and He increases for them of His Grace.
But for the disbelievers, there will be severe suffering.

وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللَّهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِ لَبَغَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا يَشَاءُ إِنَّهُ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرٌ بَصِيرٌ

 

27-

And if God had enlarged the means of livelihood a lot for His servants,
they would surely do mischief on earth and therefore He sends it down in a measure, as He wants.
He is of course All Informed, All Observant over His servants.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ مِن بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوا وَيَنشُرُ رَحْمَتَهُ وَهُوَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ

 

28-

And He is the One, Who sends down the rain after they have given up hope.
He spreads His Mercy and Grace,
and He is the True Protector, Worthy of all praise.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ

 

29-

And among His signs (of Majesty) is the creation of the heavens (galaxies) and the earth
and all the living creatures, which He spread about in both of them.
And He is Most Capable in gathering them all up (on the Resurrection Day) whenever He wants.

وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ

 

30-

And whatever calamity hits you, it is because of what your hands have brought about,
although He pardons so much.

وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

 

31-

And you can not escape in the earth (from God’s will).
And other than God, you have neither a protector, nor any helper.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ الْجَوَارِ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْأَعْلَامِ

 

32-

And among His signs are the large floating ships at the sea, like tall mountains.

إِن يَشَأْ يُسْكِنِ الرِّيحَ فَيَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ

 

33-

If he wants, He would stop the wind and they become motionless and still on the back of it (the sea).
In this subject, there are certainly lessons for all who are patient in adversity
and deeply grateful (to God for all the blessings).

أَوْ يُوبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوا وَيَعْفُ عَن كَثِيرٍ

 

34-

Or He may destroy them (by whatever shipwreck) because of what they (the ship occupants) have deserved
and yet He pardons much (of their bad behavior).

وَيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٍ

 

35-

And those who challenge Our Verses (of the Quran) should better know that there is no place of refuge for them
(from God’s punishment).

فَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

 

36-

So it is that whatever you have been given, is but a temporary enjoyment during the life of this world,
whereas that which is with God, is better and more lasting for those who have believed
and have their trust in their Lord,

وَالَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَ

 

37-

And those who avoid major sins and promiscuities and those who forgive even when they become angry,

وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَى بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

 

38-

And those who respond to their Lord (’s Commandments)
and keep up regular prayers and consult in their common affairs among themselves
and give in charity from what We have granted them,

وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْبَغْيُ هُمْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

 

39-

And those who, when an injustice and wrong is done to them,
they seek help and help each other, to defend themselves.

وَجَزَاء سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ

 

40-

And the retribution of an offense is one like it, but whoever forgives and makes peace, his reward is by God.
He of course does not like the oppressors.

وَلَمَنِ انتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِهِ فَأُوْلَئِكَ مَا عَلَيْهِم مِّن سَبِيلٍ

 

41-

And whoever seeks help to defend against the wrong done to him, to such persons, there is no way (for blame).

إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ النَّاسَ وَيَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُم عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

 

42-

The way (to blame responsibility) is against those who do wrong
and oppress people and cause mischief on earth, without any justification;
those are the ones who will get a painful suffering.

وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ

 

43-

As for those who really show patience (in adversity) and forgive,
that truly requires strong will in handling of matters.

وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن وَلِيٍّ مِّن بَعْدِهِ وَتَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ إِلَى مَرَدٍّ مِّن سَبِيلٍ

 

44-

And whomever God lets astray, will not have any true protector thereafter.
And you will see such unjust people, when they realize the suffering, saying:
“Is there any way of return (to the worldly life)?"

وَتَرَاهُمْ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا خَاشِعِينَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرْفٍ خَفِيٍّ وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ الْخَاسِرِينَ
      الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَلَا إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ فِي عَذَابٍ مُّقِيمٍ

 

45-

And you will see them brought to it (the Hell), down in humiliation, looking around with hidden sideway glances.
And those who have believed will say (regarding the disbelievers’ situation):
“Certainly the real losers are those who lost their personalities
(by worshipping and following other than God and His Way and by preaching the same to their family members,)
they caused harm to their families, for the Day of Resurrection.
Be aware, the unjust (the disbelievers) are really going to be in a lasting state of suffering”.

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنْ أَوْلِيَاء يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن سَبِيلٍ

 

46-

And they won’t have any protectors or friends to help them, other than God.
And so is it that whomever God lets go astray, won’t find any way out.

اسْتَجِيبُوا لِرَبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكُم مِّن مَّلْجَأٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّكِيرٍ

 

47-

Do respond to the Guidance of your Lord, before the time and the Day (of Resurrection) comes,
when there is no return away from God (and His Judgment).
You will have no refuge on that Day and no one and no way for you to deny your records.

فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا فَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا إِنْ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ وَإِنَّا إِذَا أَذَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً فَرِحَ بِهَا وَإِن
      تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَإِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ كَفُورٌ

 

48-

But if they turn away (from you, O Muhammad) then (you should know that)
We did not send you as their watchful protector.
Your duty is only to convey the Message (of God: the Quran).
And so it is that when We let a person taste a Mercy and Blessing from Us, He becomes happy about it;
but when some hardship and difficulty hits them, because of their own previous actions,
then in fact the person becomes very ungrateful.

لِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ يَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ

 

49-

To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth.
He creates what He wills.
He grants female (offspring) to whom He wants and grants male (offspring) to whom He wants.

أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا وَيَجْعَلُ مَن يَشَاءُ عَقِيمًا إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ

 

50-

Or He grants males and females together and He makes barren (unable to produce children) whom He wants.
He indeed is All Knowing, All Capable Decider.

وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِن وَرَاء حِجَابٍ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُولًا فَيُوحِيَ بِإِذْنِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ

 

51-

And it is not supposed for any human being that God would speak to him (or her)
except by Revelation (as in the case of the Messenger) or from beyond a covering (of inspiration)
or that He sends a Messenger (like Gabriel to Muhammad), to reveal by His Permission what He wants.
Truly He is Most High, Most Wise.

وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْإِيمَانُ وَلَكِن جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَّهْدِي بِهِ
     مَنْ نَّشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِنَا وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

 

52-

And that way We have revealed to you (Muhammad) a Spirit of Revelation (the Quran) by Our Command.
You had no knowledge of the Book or of the true faith,
but rather We have made it (the Quran) as a light by which We guide whomever We want from among our servants.
And certainly you (Muhammad) are guiding (the mankind) towards the correct straight path,

صِرَاطِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ أَلَا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَصِيرُ الأمُورُ

 

53-

The path and the way of God, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth.
Be aware, ultimately all matters and affairs go back to God (for His Decision).
