7.  *     'And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to Judgment).     " `They thought, just like you thought, that GOD would not send another (messenger).     وانهم ظنوا كما ظننتم ان لن يبعث الله احدا     'And that they thought/assumed as/like you thought/assumed, that (E) God will never/not send/resurrect/revive anyone.'         Waannahumthannoo kamathanantum an lan yabAAatha Allahu ahadan

10.  *     'And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct.     " `We have no idea if something bad is intended for the inhabitants of Earth, or if their Lord wills to redeem them.     وانالاندري اشر اريد بمن في الارض ام اراد بهم ربهم رشدا     'And that we, we do not know is (it) bad/evil/harmful (is) wanted/intended with who (is) in the earth/Planet Earth, or their Lord wanted/intended correct/right guidance with (for) them.'         Waannalanadree asharrun oreeda biman fee al-ardi am arada bihim rabbuhum rashadan

12.  *     'But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.     " `We knew full well that we can never run away from GOD on Earth; we can never run away and escape.     واناظننا ان لن نعجز الله في الارض ولن نعجزه هربا     'And that we, we thought/assumed that (E) we will never/not disable/frustrate God in the earth/Planet Earth, and we will never/not disable/frustrate Him (by) escaping/fleeing.'         Wannathanannaan lan nuAAjiza Allaha fee al-ardi walan nuAAjizahu haraban
 
13.  *     'And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.     " `When we heard the guidance, we believed therein. Anyone who believes in his Lord will never fear any injustice, nor any affliction.     وانالما سمعنا الهدى امنا به فمن يؤمن بربه فلا يخاف بخسا ولارهقا     'And that we, when we heard/listened (to) the guidance, we believed with (in) it, so who believes with (in) his Lord, so (he) does not fear reduction/injustice, and nor oppression/burden.'         WaannalammasamiAAnaalhudaamannabihi faman yu\min birabbihi falayakhafu bakhsan walarahaqan
 
14.  *     'Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah., and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills - they have sought out (the path) of right conduct:     " `Among us are the submitters, and among us are the compromisers.' " As for those who submitted, they are on the right path.     وانامنا المسلمون ومنا القاسطون فمن اسلم فاولئك تحروا رشدا     'And that we, from us (are) the Moslems/submitters, and from us (are) the deviators/ hardened, so who submitted/surrendered, so those searched/pursued correct/right guidance.'         Waannaminnaalmuslimoona waminnaalqasitoona faman aslama faola-ika taharraw rashadan

16.  *     (And Allah.s Message is): "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance.     If they remain on the right path, we will bless them with abundant water     والو استقاموا على الطريقة لاسقيناهم ماء غدقا     'And that if they became straight/direct on the way/path, we would have given them drink (from) water plentifully/abundantly.'         Waallawi istaqamoo AAalaalttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan
 
17.  *     "That We might try them by that (means). But if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.     We will surely test them all. As for him who disregards the message of his Lord, He will direct him to ever increasing retribution.     لنفتنهم فيه ومن يعرض عن ذكر ربه يسلكه عذابا صعدا     'To test them in it, and who opposes/turns away from his Lord's reminder, He enters/passes him a severe torture.'         Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAAridAAanthikri rabbihi yasluk-hu AAathabansaAAadan
 
18.  *     "And the places of worship are for Allah (alone): So invoke not any one along with Allah.     The places of worship belong to GOD; do not call on anyone else beside GOD.     وان المساجد لله فلا تدعوا مع الله احدا     'And that (E) the mosques (are) to God, so do not call anyone with God.'         Waanna almasajida lillahi falatadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahadan
 
19.  *     "Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd."     When GOD's servant advocated Him alone, almost all of them banded together to oppose him.     وانه لما قام عبدالله يدعوه كادوا يكونون عليه لبدا     'And that he when God's worshipper/servant stood/started calling Him, they were about to/almost to be interlocked/plenty on (with) him.'         Waannahu lammaqama AAabdu Allahi yadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libadan
 
20.  *     Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)."     Say, "I worship only my Lord; I never set up any idols beside Him."     قل انما ادعو ربي ولااشرك به احدا     Say: "Truly I call my Lord, and I do not share/make partners with Him anyone."         Qul innamaadAAoo rabbee walaoshriku bihi ahadan

22.  *     Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him,     Say, "No one can protect me from GOD, nor can I find any other refuge beside Him.     قل اني لن يجيرني من الله احد ولن اجد من دونه ملتحدا     Say: "That I, anyone will never/not protect/defend me from God, and I will never/not find from other than Him a shelter/refuge."         Qul innee lan yujeeranee mina Allahi ahadun walan ajida min doonihi multahadan
 
23.  *     "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever."     "I deliver GOD's proclamations and messages." Those who disobey GOD and His messenger incur the fire of Hell, wherein they abide forever.     الا بلاغا من الله ورسالاته ومن يعص الله ورسوله فان له نار جهنم خالدين فيها ابدا     Except an information/communication from God and His messenger, so who disobeys God and His messenger, so then Hell's fire (is) for him, immortally/eternally in it (for) ever (E).         Illabalaghan mina Allahi warisalatihi waman yaAAsi Allaha warasoolahu fa-inna lahu nara jahannama khalideena feehaabadan
 
24.  *     At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers.     Once they see what is awaiting them, they will find out who is really weaker in power, and fewer in number.     حتى اذا راوا مايوعدون فسيعلمون من اضعف ناصرا واقل عددا     Until when they saw/understood what they are being promised, so they will know who (is) a weaker victorior/savior and less numerous.         Hattaitharaaw mayooAAadoona fasayaAAlamoona man adAAafu nasiran waaqallu AAadadan
 
25.  *     Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.     Say, "I do not know if what is promised to you will happen soon, or if my Lord will delay it for awhile."     قل ان ادري اقريب ماتوعدون ام يجعل له ربي امدا     Say: "I do not know what you are being promised, (if it) is nearer/closer or my Lord makes/puts for it (extended) time."         Qul in adree aqareebun matooAAadoona am yajAAalu lahu rabbee amadan
 
26.  *     "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,-     He is the Knower of the future; He does not reveal the future to anyone     عالم الغيب فلا يظهر على غيبه احدا     Knower (of) the unseen/absent, so He does not reveal (to) anyone on His unseen/supernatural (secret).         AAalimu alghaybi falayuthhiru AAalaghaybihi ahadan
 
27.  *     "Except an apostle whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him,     Only to a messenger that He chooses, does He reveal from the past and the future, specific news.     الا من ارتضى من رسول فانه يسلك من بين يديه ومن خلفه رصدا     Except whom He accepted from a messenger so that He truly, He enters/passes from between his hands (present) and from behind him (past), watching/observing observation.         Illamani irtadamin rasoolin fa-innahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi rasadan
 
28.  *     "That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing."     This is to ascertain that they have delivered their Lord's messages. He is fully aware of what they have. He has counted the numbers of all things.     ليعلم ان قد ابلغوا رسالات ربهم واحاط بما لديهم واحصى كل شئ عددا     (It is for God) to know that (E) they had communicated/informed their Lord's messages, and He surrounded/enveloped with what (is) at them, and He counted/controlled every thing numerous.441         LiyaAAlama an qad ablaghoo risalati rabbihim waahata bimaladayhim waahsakulla shay-in AAadadan
