1. * |
By those who range themselves in ranks,
|
|
2. * |
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
|
|
3. * |
And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah.!
|
|
4. * |
Verily, verily, your Allah is one!-
|
|
5. * |
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
|
|
6. * |
We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,-
|
|
7. * |
(For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,
|
|
8. * |
(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,
|
|
9. * |
Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,
|
|
10. * |
Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.
|
|
11. * |
Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!
|
|
12. * |
Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,
|
|
13. * |
And, when they are admonished, pay no heed,-
|
|
14. * |
And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,
|
|
15. * |
And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
|
|
16. * |
"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)
|
|
17. * |
"And also our fathers of old?"
|
|
18. * |
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
|
|
19. * |
Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!
|
|
20. * |
They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
|
|
21. * |
(A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"
|
|
22. * |
"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong-doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped-
|
|
23. * |
"Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
|
|
24. * |
"But stop them, for they must be asked:
|
|
25. * |
"'What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?'"
|
|
26. * |
Nay, but that day they shall submit (to Judgment);
|
|
27. * |
And they will turn to one another, and question one another.
|
|
28. * |
They will say: "It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and authority)!"
|
|
29. * |
They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith!
|
|
30. * |
"Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion!
|
|
31. * |
"So now has been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have to) taste (the punishment of our sins).
|
|
32. * |
"We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."
|
|
33. * |
Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty.
|
|
34. * |
Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners.
|
|
35. * |
For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride,
|
|
36. * |
And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"
|
|
37. * |
Nay! he has come with the (very) Truth, and he confirms (the Message of) the apostles (before him).
|
|
38. * |
Ye shall indeed taste of the Grievous Penalty;-
|
|
39. * |
But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought;-
|
|
40. * |
But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah,-
|
|
41. * |
For them is a Sustenance determined,
|
|
42. * |
Fruits (Delights); and they (shall enjoy) honour and dignity,
|
|
43. * |
In Gardens of Felicity,
|
|
44. * |
Facing each other on Thrones (of Dignity):
|
|
45. * |
Round will be passed to them a Cup from a clear-flowing fountain,
|
|
46. * |
Crystal-white, of a taste delicious to those who drink (thereof),
|
|
47. * |
Free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.
|
|
48. * |
And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty).
|
|
49. * |
As if they were (delicate) eggs closely guarded.
|
|
50. * |
Then they will turn to one another and question one another.
|
|
51. * |
One of them will start the talk and say: "I had an intimate companion (on the earth),
|
|
52. * |
"Who used to say, 'what! art thou amongst those who bear witness to the Truth (of the Message)?
|
|
53. * |
"'When we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed receive rewards and punishments?'"
|
|
54. * |
(A voice) said: "Would ye like to look down?"
|
|
55. * |
He looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.
|
|
56. * |
He said: "By Allah. thou wast little short of bringing me to perdition!
|
|
57. * |
"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those brought (there)!
|
|
58. * |
"Is it (the case) that we shall not die,
|
|
59. * |
"Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"
|
|
60. * |
Verily this is the supreme achievement!
|
|
61. * |
For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive.
|
|
62. * |
Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?
|
|
63. * |
For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong-doers.
|
|
64. * |
For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire:
|
|
65. * |
The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils:
|
|
66. * |
Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.
|
|
67. * |
Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water.
|
|
68. * |
Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire.
|
|
69. * |
Truly they found their fathers on the wrong Path;
|
|
70. * |
So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps!
|
|
71. * |
And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray;-
|
|
72. * |
But We sent aforetime, among them, (apostles) to admonish them;-
|
|
73. * |
Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not),-
|
|
74. * |
Except the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah.
|
|
75. * |
(In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer.
|
|
76. * |
And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity,
|
|
77. * |
And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);
|
|
78. * |
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:
|
|
79. * |
"Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"
|
|
80. * |
Thus indeed do we reward those who do right.
|
|
81. * |
For he was one of our believing Servants.
|
|
82. * |
Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood.
|
|
83. * |
Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham.
|
|
84. * |
Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart.
|
|
85. * |
Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship?
|
|
86. * |
"Is it a falsehood- gods other than Allah. that ye desire?
|
|
87. * |
"Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?"
|
|
88. * |
Then did he cast a glance at the Stars.
|
|
89. * |
And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"
|
|
90. * |
So they turned away from him, and departed.
|
|
91. * |
Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...
|
|
92. * |
"What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?"
|
|
93. * |
Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.
|
|
94. * |
Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).
|
|
95. * |
He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?
|
|
96. * |
"But Allah has created you and your handwork!"
|
|
97. * |
They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"
|
|
98. * |
(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
|
|
99. * |
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
|
|
100. * |
"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
|
|
101. * |
So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
|
|
102. * |
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
|
|
103. * |
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah., and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
|
|
104. * |
We called out to him "O Abraham!
|
|
105. * |
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
|
|
106. * |
For this was obviously a trial-
|
|
107. * |
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
|
|
108. * |
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
|
|
109. * |
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
|
|
110. * |
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
|
|
111. * |
For he was one of our believing Servants.
|
|
112. * |
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.
|
|
113. * |
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
|
|
114. * |
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
|
|
115. * |
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
|
|
116. * |
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
|
|
117. * |
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
|
|
118. * |
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
|
|
119. * |
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
|
|
120. * |
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
|
|
121. * |
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
|
|
122. * |
For they were two of our believing Servants.
|
|
123. * |
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
|
|
124. * |
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear ((Allah))?
|
|
125. * |
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators,-
|
|
126. * |
"(Allah), your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
|
|
127. * |
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-
|
|
128. * |
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
|
|
129. * |
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
|
|
130. * |
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
|
|
131. * |
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
|
|
132. * |
For he was one of our believing Servants.
|
|
133. * |
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
|
|
134. * |
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
|
|
135. * |
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
|
|
136. * |
Then We destroyed the rest.
|
|
137. * |
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-
|
|
138. * |
And by night: will ye not understand?
|
|
139. * |
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
|
|
140. * |
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
|
|
141. * |
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
|
|
142. * |
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
|
|
143. * |
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
|
|
144. * |
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
|
|
145. * |
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
|
|
146. * |
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
|
|
147. * |
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
|
|
148. * |
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
|
|
149. * |
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?-
|
|
150. * |
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
|
|
151. * |
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
|
|
152. * |
"(Allah) has begotten children"? but they are liars!
|
|
153. * |
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
|
|
154. * |
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
|
|
155. * |
Will ye not then receive admonition?
|
|
156. * |
Or have ye an authority manifest?
|
|
157. * |
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
|
|
158. * |
And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment- Seat)!
|
|
159. * |
Glory to Allah. (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
|
|
160. * |
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
|
|
161. * |
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship-
|
|
162. * |
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
|
|
163. * |
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
|
|
164. * |
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
|
|
165. * |
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
|
|
166. * |
"And we are verily those who declare ((Allah)'s) glory!"
|
|
167. * |
And there were those who said,
|
|
168. * |
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
|
|
169. * |
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
|
|
170. * |
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
|
|
171. * |
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
|
|
172. * |
That they would certainly be assisted,
|
|
173. * |
And that Our forces,- they surely must conquer.
|
|
174. * |
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
|
|
175. * |
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
|
|
176. * |
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
|
|
177. * |
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
|
|
178. * |
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
|
|
179. * |
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
|
|
180. * |
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
|
|
181. * |
And Peace on the apostles!
|
|
182. * |
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
