الله الذي رفع السماوات بغير عمد ترونها ۖ ثم استوى على العرش ۖ وسخر الشمس والقمر ۖ كل يجري لأجل مسمى ۚ يدبر الأمر يفصل الآيات لعلكم بلقاء ربكم توقنون
Yusuf Ali
Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; is firmly established on the throne (of authority); He has subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law)! Each one runs (its course) for a term appointed. He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, that ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord.
وهو الذي مد الأرض وجعل فيها رواسي وأنهارا ۖ ومن كل الثمرات جعل فيها زوجين اثنين ۖ يغشي الليل النهار ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يتفكرون
Yusuf Ali
And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!
وفي الأرض قطع متجاورات وجنات من أعناب وزرع ونخيل صنوان وغير صنوان يسقى بماء واحد ونفضل بعضها على بعض في الأكل ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يعقلون
Yusuf Ali
And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!
۞ وإن تعجب فعجب قولهم أإذا كنا ترابا أإنا لفي خلق جديد ۗ أولئك الذين كفروا بربهم ۖ وأولئك الأغلال في أعناقهم ۖ وأولئك أصحاب النار ۖ هم فيها خالدون
Yusuf Ali
If thou dost marvel (at their want of faith), strange is their saying: "When we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed then be in a creation renewed?" They are those who deny their Lord! They are those round whose necks will be yokes (of servitude): they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for aye)!
ويستعجلونك بالسيئة قبل الحسنة وقد خلت من قبلهم المثلات ۗ وإن ربك لذو مغفرة للناس على ظلمهم ۖ وإن ربك لشديد العقاب
Yusuf Ali
They ask thee to hasten on the evil in preference to the good: Yet have come to pass, before them, (many) exemplary punishments! But verily thy Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind for their wrong - doing, and verily thy Lord is (also) strict in punishment.
الله يعلم ما تحمل كل أنثى وما تغيض الأرحام وما تزداد ۖ وكل شيء عنده بمقدار
Yusuf Ali
Allah doth know what every female (womb) doth bear, by how much the wombs fall short (of their time or number) or do exceed. Every single thing is before His sight, in (due) proportion.
له معقبات من بين يديه ومن خلفه يحفظونه من أمر الله ۗ إن الله لا يغير ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم ۗ وإذا أراد الله بقوم سوءا فلا مرد له ۚ وما لهم من دونه من وال
Yusuf Ali
For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Allah does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their hearts. But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.
ويسبح الرعد بحمده والملائكة من خيفته ويرسل الصواعق فيصيب بها من يشاء وهم يجادلون في الله وهو شديد المحال
Yusuf Ali
Nay, thunder repeateth His praises, and so do the angels, with awe: He flingeth the loud - voiced thunder - bolts, and therewith He striketh whomsoever He will.. yet these (are the men) who (dare to) dispute about Allah, with the strength of His power (supreme)!
له دعوة الحق ۖ والذين يدعون من دونه لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء إلا كباسط كفيه إلى الماء ليبلغ فاه وما هو ببالغه ۚ وما دعاء الكافرين إلا في ضلال
Yusuf Ali
For Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile) wandering (in the mind).
ولله يسجد من في السماوات والأرض طوعا وكرها وظلالهم بالغدو والآصال ۩
Yusuf Ali
Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah (Acknowledging subjection), - with good - will or in spite of themselves: so do their shadows in the morning and evenings.
قل من رب السماوات والأرض قل الله ۚ قل أفاتخذتم من دونه أولياء لا يملكون لأنفسهم نفعا ولا ضرا ۚ قل هل يستوي الأعمى والبصير أم هل تستوي الظلمات والنور ۗ أم جعلوا لله شركاء خلقوا كخلقه فتشابه الخلق عليهم ۚ قل الله خالق كل شيء وهو الواحد القهار
Yusuf Ali
Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allah." Say: "Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible."
أنزل من السماء ماء فسالت أودية بقدرها فاحتمل السيل زبدا رابيا ۚ ومما يوقدون عليه في النار ابتغاء حلية أو متاع زبد مثله ۚ كذلك يضرب الله الحق والباطل ۚ فأما الزبد فيذهب جفاء ۖ وأما ما ينفع الناس فيمكث في الأرض ۚ كذلك يضرب الله الأمثال
Yusuf Ali
He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away to foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables.
للذين استجابوا لربهم الحسنى ۚ والذين لم يستجيبوا له لو أن لهم ما في الأرض جميعا ومثله معه لافتدوا به ۚ أولئك لهم سوء الحساب ومأواهم جهنم ۖ وبئس المهاد
Yusuf Ali
For those who respond to their Lord, are (all) good things. But those who respond not to Him, - Even if they had all that is in the heavens and on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom. For them will the reckoning be terrible: their abode will be Hell, - what a bed of misery!
۞ أفمن يعلم أنما أنزل إليك من ربك الحق كمن هو أعمى ۚ إنما يتذكر أولو الألباب
Yusuf Ali
Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition; -
والذين صبروا ابتغاء وجه ربهم وأقاموا الصلاة وأنفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية ويدرءون بالحسنة السيئة أولئك لهم عقبى الدار
Yusuf Ali
Those who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord; Establish regular prayers; spend, out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off Evil with good: for such there is the final attainment of the (eternal) home, -
جنات عدن يدخلونها ومن صلح من آبائهم وأزواجهم وذرياتهم ۖ والملائكة يدخلون عليهم من كل باب
Yusuf Ali
Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation):
والذين ينقضون عهد الله من بعد ميثاقه ويقطعون ما أمر الله به أن يوصل ويفسدون في الأرض ۙ أولئك لهم اللعنة ولهم سوء الدار
Yusuf Ali
But those who break the Covenant of Allah, after having plighted their word thereto, and cut asunder those things which Allah has commanded to be joined, and work mischief in the land; - on them is the curse; for them is the terrible home!
الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر ۚ وفرحوا بالحياة الدنيا وما الحياة الدنيا في الآخرة إلا متاع
Yusuf Ali
Allah doth enlarge, or grant by (strict) measure, the sustenance (which He giveth) to whomso He pleaseth. (The wordly) rejoice in the life of this world: But the life of this world is but little comfort in the Hereafter.
ويقول الذين كفروا لولا أنزل عليه آية من ربه ۗ قل إن الله يضل من يشاء ويهدي إليه من أناب
Yusuf Ali
The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence, -
الذين آمنوا وتطمئن قلوبهم بذكر الله ۗ ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب
Yusuf Ali
"Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.
كذلك أرسلناك في أمة قد خلت من قبلها أمم لتتلو عليهم الذي أوحينا إليك وهم يكفرون بالرحمن ۚ قل هو ربي لا إله إلا هو عليه توكلت وإليه متاب
Yusuf Ali
Thus have we sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other) Peoples (gone and) passed away; in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most Gracious! Say: "He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and to Him do I turn!"
ولو أن قرآنا سيرت به الجبال أو قطعت به الأرض أو كلم به الموتى ۗ بل لله الأمر جميعا ۗ أفلم ييأس الذين آمنوا أن لو يشاء الله لهدى الناس جميعا ۗ ولا يزال الذين كفروا تصيبهم بما صنعوا قارعة أو تحل قريبا من دارهم حتى يأتي وعد الله ۚ إن الله لا يخلف الميعاد
Yusuf Ali
If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers, - never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.
أفمن هو قائم على كل نفس بما كسبت ۗ وجعلوا لله شركاء قل سموهم ۚ أم تنبئونه بما لا يعلم في الأرض أم بظاهر من القول ۗ بل زين للذين كفروا مكرهم وصدوا عن السبيل ۗ ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد
Yusuf Ali
Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: "But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.
۞ مثل الجنة التي وعد المتقون ۖ تجري من تحتها الأنهار ۖ أكلها دائم وظلها ۚ تلك عقبى الذين اتقوا ۖ وعقبى الكافرين النار
Yusuf Ali
The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised! - beneath it flow rivers: perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the end of the Righteous; and the end of Unbelievers in the Fire.
والذين آتيناهم الكتاب يفرحون بما أنزل إليك ۖ ومن الأحزاب من ينكر بعضه ۚ قل إنما أمرت أن أعبد الله ولا أشرك به ۚ إليه أدعو وإليه مآب
Yusuf Ali
Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what hath been revealed unto thee: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: "I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I call, and unto Him is my return."
وكذلك أنزلناه حكما عربيا ۚ ولئن اتبعت أهواءهم بعدما جاءك من العلم ما لك من الله من ولي ولا واق
Yusuf Ali
Thus have We revealed it to be a judgment of authority in Arabic. Wert thou to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor defender against Allah.
ولقد أرسلنا رسلا من قبلك وجعلنا لهم أزواجا وذرية ۚ وما كان لرسول أن يأتي بآية إلا بإذن الله ۗ لكل أجل كتاب
Yusuf Ali
We did send messengers before thee, and appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of a messenger to bring a sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded). For each period is a Book (revealed).
وإن ما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم أو نتوفينك فإنما عليك البلاغ وعلينا الحساب
Yusuf Ali
Whether We shall show thee (within thy life - time) part of what we promised them or take to ourselves thy soul (before it is all accomplished), - thy duty is to make (the Message) reach them: it is our part to call them to account.
أولم يروا أنا نأتي الأرض ننقصها من أطرافها ۚ والله يحكم لا معقب لحكمه ۚ وهو سريع الحساب
Yusuf Ali
See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? (Where) Allah commands, there is none to put back His Command: and He is swift in calling to account.
وقد مكر الذين من قبلهم فلله المكر جميعا ۖ يعلم ما تكسب كل نفس ۗ وسيعلم الكفار لمن عقبى الدار
Yusuf Ali
Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master - planning is Allah's He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end.
