بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم أتى أمر الله فلا تستعجلوه ۚ سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون
Shakir
He sends down the angels with the inspiration by His commandment on whom He pleases of His servants, saying: Give the warning that there is no god but Me, therefore be careful (of your duty) to Me.
هو الذي أنزل من السماء ماء ۖ لكم منه شراب ومنه شجر فيه تسيمون
Shakir
He causes to grow for you thereby herbage, and the olives, and the palm trees, and the grapes, and of all the fruits; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who reflect.
ينبت لكم به الزرع والزيتون والنخيل والأعناب ومن كل الثمرات ۗ إن في ذلك لآية لقوم يتفكرون
Shakir
And He has made subservient for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon, and the stars are made subservient by His commandment; most surely there are signs in this for a people who ponder;
وما ذرأ لكم في الأرض مختلفا ألوانه ۗ إن في ذلك لآية لقوم يذكرون
Shakir
And He it is Who has made the sea subservient that you may eat fresh flesh from it and bring forth from it ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships cleaving through it, and that you might seek of His bounty and that you may give thanks.
وإذا قيل لهم ماذا أنزل ربكم ۙ قالوا أساطير الأولين
Shakir
That they may bear their burdens entirely on the day of resurrection and also of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without knowledge; now surely evil is what they bear.
ليحملوا أوزارهم كاملة يوم القيامة ۙ ومن أوزار الذين يضلونهم بغير علم ۗ ألا ساء ما يزرون
Shakir
Those before them did indeed devise plans, but Allah demolished their building from the foundations, so the roof fell down on them from above them, and the punishment came to them from whence they did not perceive.
قد مكر الذين من قبلهم فأتى الله بنيانهم من القواعد فخر عليهم السقف من فوقهم وأتاهم العذاب من حيث لا يشعرون
Shakir
Then on the resurrection day He will bring them to disgrace and say: Where are the associates you gave Me, for whose sake you became hostile? Those who are given the knowledge will say: Surely the disgrace and the evil are this day upon the unbelievers:
ثم يوم القيامة يخزيهم ويقول أين شركائي الذين كنتم تشاقون فيهم ۚ قال الذين أوتوا العلم إن الخزي اليوم والسوء على الكافرين
Shakir
Those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to themselves. Then would they offer submission: We used not to do any evil. Aye! surely Allah knows what you did.
فادخلوا أبواب جهنم خالدين فيها ۖ فلبئس مثوى المتكبرين
Shakir
And it is said to those who guard (against evil): What is it that your Lord has revealed? They say, Good. For those who do good in this world is good, and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better; and certainly most excellent is the abode of those who guard (against evil);
۞ وقيل للذين اتقوا ماذا أنزل ربكم ۚ قالوا خيرا ۗ للذين أحسنوا في هذه الدنيا حسنة ۚ ولدار الآخرة خير ۚ ولنعم دار المتقين
Shakir
The gardens of perpetuity, they shall enter them, rivers flowing beneath them; they shall have in them what they please. Thus does Allah reward those who guard (against evil),
الذين تتوفاهم الملائكة طيبين ۙ يقولون سلام عليكم ادخلوا الجنة بما كنتم تعملون
Shakir
They do not wait aught but that the angels should come to them or that the commandment of your Lord should come to pass. Thus did those before them; and Allah was not unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves.
فأصابهم سيئات ما عملوا وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
Shakir
And they who give associates (to Allah) say: If Allah had pleased, we would not have served anything besides Allah, (neither) we nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything without (order from) Him. Thus did those before them; is then aught incumbent upon the apostles except a plain delivery (of the message)?
وقال الذين أشركوا لو شاء الله ما عبدنا من دونه من شيء نحن ولا آباؤنا ولا حرمنا من دونه من شيء ۚ كذلك فعل الذين من قبلهم ۚ فهل على الرسل إلا البلاغ المبين
Shakir
And certainly We raised in every nation an apostle saying: Serve Allah and shun the Shaitan. So there were some of them whom Allah guided and there were others against whom error was due; therefore travel in the land, then see what was the end of the rejecters.
ولقد بعثنا في كل أمة رسولا أن اعبدوا الله واجتنبوا الطاغوت ۖ فمنهم من هدى الله ومنهم من حقت عليه الضلالة ۚ فسيروا في الأرض فانظروا كيف كان عاقبة المكذبين
Shakir
If you desire for their guidance, yet surely Allah does not guide him who leads astray, nor shall they have any helpers.
إن تحرص على هداهم فإن الله لا يهدي من يضل ۖ وما لهم من ناصرين
Shakir
And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies. Yea! it is a promise binding on Him, quite true, but most people do not know;
And those who fly for Allah's sake after they are oppressed, We will most certainly give them a good abode in the world, and the reward of the hereafter is certainly much greater, did they but know;
وما أرسلنا من قبلك إلا رجالا نوحي إليهم ۚ فاسألوا أهل الذكر إن كنتم لا تعلمون
Shakir
With clear arguments and scriptures; and We have revealed to you the Reminder that you may make clear to men what has been revealed to them, and that haply they may reflect.
Do they then who plan evil (deeds) feel secure (of this) that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or that punishment may not overtake them from whence they do not perceive?
Do they not consider every thing that Allah has created? Its (very) shadows return from right and left, making obeisance to Allah while they are in utter abasement.
أولم يروا إلى ما خلق الله من شيء يتفيأ ظلاله عن اليمين والشمائل سجدا لله وهم داخرون
Shakir
And whatever creature that is in the heavens and that is in the earth makes obeisance to Allah (only), and the angels (too) and they do not show pride.
۞ وقال الله لا تتخذوا إلهين اثنين ۖ إنما هو إله واحد ۖ فإياي فارهبون
Shakir
And whatever is in the heavens and the earth is His, and to Him should obedience be (rendered) constantly; will you then guard against other than (the punishment of) Allah?
And they set apart for what they do not know a portion of what We have given them. By Allah, you shall most certainly be questioned about that which you forged.
He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that which is announced to him. Shall he keep it with disgrace or bury it (alive) in the dust? Now surely evil is what they judge.
للذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة مثل السوء ۖ ولله المثل الأعلى ۚ وهو العزيز الحكيم
Shakir
And if Allah had destroyed men for their iniquity, He would not leave on the earth a single creature, but He respites them till an appointed time; so when their doom will come they shall not be able to delay (it) an hour nor can they bring (it) on (before its time).
ولو يؤاخذ الله الناس بظلمهم ما ترك عليها من دابة ولكن يؤخرهم إلى أجل مسمى ۖ فإذا جاء أجلهم لا يستأخرون ساعة ۖ ولا يستقدمون
Shakir
And they ascribe to Allah what they (themselves) hate and their tongues relate the lie that they shall have the good; there is no avoiding it that for them is the fire and that they shall be sent before.
ويجعلون لله ما يكرهون وتصف ألسنتهم الكذب أن لهم الحسنى ۖ لا جرم أن لهم النار وأنهم مفرطون
Shakir
By Allah, most certainly We sent (apostles) to nations before you, but the Shaitan made their deeds fair - seeming to them, so he is their guardian today, and they shall have a painful punishment.
تالله لقد أرسلنا إلى أمم من قبلك فزين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم فهو وليهم اليوم ولهم عذاب أليم
Shakir
And We have not revealed to you the Book except that you may make clear to them that about which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.
وما أنزلنا عليك الكتاب إلا لتبين لهم الذي اختلفوا فيه ۙ وهدى ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون

Shakir
And of the fruits of the palms and the grapes - - you obtain from them intoxication and goodly provision; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who ponder.
وأوحى ربك إلى النحل أن اتخذي من الجبال بيوتا ومن الشجر ومما يعرشون
Shakir
Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of your Lord submissively. There comes forth from within it a beverage of many colours, in which there is healing for men; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who reflect.
ثم كلي من كل الثمرات فاسلكي سبل ربك ذللا ۚ يخرج من بطونها شراب مختلف ألوانه فيه شفاء للناس ۗ إن في ذلك لآية لقوم يتفكرون
Shakir
And Allah has created you, then He causes you to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know anything; surely Allah is Knowing, Powerful.
والله خلقكم ثم يتوفاكم ۚ ومنكم من يرد إلى أرذل العمر لكي لا يعلم بعد علم شيئا ۚ إن الله عليم قدير
Shakir
And Allah has made some of you excel others in the means of subsistence, so those who are made to excel do not give away their sustenance to those whom their right hands possess so that they should be equal therein; is it then the favor of Allah which they deny?

Shakir
And Allah has made wives for you from among yourselves, and has given you sons and grandchildren from your wives, and has given you of the good things; is it then in the falsehood that they believe while it is in the favor of Allah that they disbelieve?
فلا تضربوا لله الأمثال ۚ إن الله يعلم وأنتم لا تعلمون
Shakir
Allah sets forth a parable: (consider) a slave, the property of another, (who) has no power over anything, and one whom We have granted from Ourselves a goodly sustenance so he spends from it secretly and openly; are the two alike? (All) praise is due to Allah! Nay, most of them do not know.
۞ ضرب الله مثلا عبدا مملوكا لا يقدر على شيء ومن رزقناه منا رزقا حسنا فهو ينفق منه سرا وجهرا ۖ هل يستوون ۚ الحمد لله ۚ بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Shakir
And Allah sets forth a parable of two men; one of them is dumb, not able to do anything, and he is a burden to his master; wherever he sends him, he brings no good; can he be held equal with him who enjoins what is just, and he (himself) is on the right path?
وضرب الله مثلا رجلين أحدهما أبكم لا يقدر على شيء وهو كل على مولاه أينما يوجهه لا يأت بخير ۖ هل يستوي هو ومن يأمر بالعدل ۙ وهو على صراط مستقيم
Shakir
And Allah's is the unseen of the heavens and the earth; and the matter of the hour is but as the twinkling of an eye or it is higher still; surely Allah has power over all things.

وإذا رأى الذين ظلموا العذاب فلا يخفف عنهم ولا هم ينظرون
Shakir
And when those who associate (others with Allah) shall see their associate - gods, they shall say: Our Lord, these are our associate - gods on whom we called besides Thee. But they will give them back the reply: Most surely you are liars.

Shakir
And be not like her who unravels her yarn, disintegrating it into pieces after she has spun it strongly. You make your oaths to be means of deceit between you because (one) nation is more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only tries you by this; and He will most certainly make clear to you on the resurrection day that about which you differed.
ولا تكونوا كالتي نقضت غزلها من بعد قوة أنكاثا تتخذون أيمانكم دخلا بينكم أن تكون أمة هي أربى من أمة ۚ إنما يبلوكم الله به ۚ وليبينن لكم يوم القيامة ما كنتم فيه تختلفون
