Shakir
Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice, and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence.
وقضينا إلى بني إسرائيل في الكتاب لتفسدن في الأرض مرتين ولتعلن علوا كبيرا
Shakir
So when the promise for the first of the two came, We sent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they went to and fro among the houses, and it was a promise to be accomplished.
ثم رددنا لكم الكرة عليهم وأمددناكم بأموال وبنين وجعلناكم أكثر نفيرا
Shakir
If you do good, you will do good for your own souls, and if you do evil, it shall be for them. So when the second promise came (We raised another people) that they may bring you to grief and that they may enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and that they might destroy whatever they gained ascendancy over with utter destruction.
إن أحسنتم أحسنتم لأنفسكم ۖ وإن أسأتم فلها ۚ فإذا جاء وعد الآخرة ليسوءوا وجوهكم وليدخلوا المسجد كما دخلوه أول مرة وليتبروا ما علوا تتبيرا
Shakir
It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, and if you again return (to disobedience) We too will return (to punishment), and We have made hell a prison for the unbelievers.
ويدع الإنسان بالشر دعاءه بالخير ۖ وكان الإنسان عجولا
Shakir
And We have made the night and the day two signs, then We have made the sign of the night to pass away and We have made the sign of the day manifest, so that you may seek grace from your Lord, and that you might know the numbering of years and the reckoning; and We have explained everything with distinctness.
Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright; and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he go astray: nor can the bearer of a burden bear the burden of another, nor do We chastise until We raise an apostle.
من اهتدى فإنما يهتدي لنفسه ۖ ومن ضل فإنما يضل عليها ۚ ولا تزر وازرة وزر أخرى ۗ وما كنا معذبين حتى نبعث رسولا
Shakir
And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.
وكم أهلكنا من القرون من بعد نوح ۗ وكفى بربك بذنوب عباده خبيرا بصيرا
Shakir
Whoever desires this present life, We hasten to him therein what We please for whomsoever We desire, then We assign to him the hell; he shall enter it despised, driven away.
من كان يريد العاجلة عجلنا له فيها ما نشاء لمن نريد ثم جعلنا له جهنم يصلاها مذموما مدحورا
Shakir
And whoever desires the hereafter and strives for it as he ought to strive and he is a believer; (as for) these, their striving shall surely be accepted.
And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word.
وإما تعرضن عنهم ابتغاء رحمة من ربك ترجوها فقل لهم قولا ميسورا
Shakir
And do not make your hand to be shackled to your neck nor stretch it forth to the utmost (limit) of its stretching forth, lest you should (afterwards) sit down blamed, stripped off.
ولا تجعل يدك مغلولة إلى عنقك ولا تبسطها كل البسط فتقعد ملوما محسورا
Shakir
Surely your Lord makes plentiful the means of subsistence for whom He pleases and He straitens (them); surely He is ever Aware of, Seeing, His servants.
And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.
ولا تقتلوا النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق ۗ ومن قتل مظلوما فقد جعلنا لوليه سلطانا فلا يسرف في القتل ۖ إنه كان منصورا
Shakir
And draw not near to the property of the orphan except in a goodly way till he attains his maturity and fulfill the promise; surely (every) promise shall be questioned about.
This is of what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom, and do not associate any other god with Allah lest you should be thrown into hell, blamed, cast away.
The seven heavens declare His glory and the earth (too), and those who are in them; and there is not a single thing but glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification; surely He is Forbearing, Forgiving.
وإذا قرأت القرآن جعلنا بينك وبين الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة حجابا مستورا
Shakir
And We have placed coverings on their hearts and a heaviness in their ears lest they understand it, and when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran they turn their backs in aversion.
وجعلنا على قلوبهم أكنة أن يفقهوه وفي آذانهم وقرا ۚ وإذا ذكرت ربك في القرآن وحده ولوا على أدبارهم نفورا
Shakir
We know best what they listen to when they listen to you, and when they take counsel secretly, when the unjust say: You follow only a man deprived of reason.
Or some other creature of those which are too hard (to receive life) in your minds! But they will say: Who will return us? Say: Who created you at first. Still they will shake their heads at you and say: When will it be? Say: Maybe it has drawn nigh.
يوم يدعوكم فتستجيبون بحمده وتظنون إن لبثتم إلا قليلا
Shakir
And say to My servants (that) they speak that which is best; surely the Shaitan sows dissensions among them; surely the Shaitan is an open enemy to man.
وقل لعبادي يقولوا التي هي أحسن ۚ إن الشيطان ينزغ بينهم ۚ إن الشيطان كان للإنسان عدوا مبينا
Shakir
Your Lord knows you best; He will have mercy on you if He pleases, or He will chastise you if He pleases; and We have not sent you as being in charge of them.
ربكم أعلم بكم ۖ إن يشأ يرحمكم أو إن يشأ يعذبكم ۚ وما أرسلناك عليهم وكيلا
Shakir
And your Lord best knows those who are in the heavens and the earth; and certainly We have made some of the prophets to excel others, and to Dawood We gave a scripture.
قل ادعوا الذين زعمتم من دونه فلا يملكون كشف الضر عنكم ولا تحويلا
Shakir
Those whom they call upon, themselves seek the means of access to their Lord - - whoever of them is nearest - - and they hope for His mercy and fear His chastisement; surely the chastisement of your Lord is a thing to be cautious of.
أولئك الذين يدعون يبتغون إلى ربهم الوسيلة أيهم أقرب ويرجون رحمته ويخافون عذابه ۚ إن عذاب ربك كان محذورا
Shakir
And there is not a town but We will destroy it before the day of resurrection or chastise it with a severe chastisement; this is written in the Divine ordinance.
وإن من قرية إلا نحن مهلكوها قبل يوم القيامة أو معذبوها عذابا شديدا ۚ كان ذلك في الكتاب مسطورا
Shakir
And nothing could have hindered Us that We should send signs except that the ancients rejected them; and We gave to Samood the she - camel - - a manifest sign - - but on her account they did injustice, and We do not send signs but to make (men) fear.
وما منعنا أن نرسل بالآيات إلا أن كذب بها الأولون ۚ وآتينا ثمود الناقة مبصرة فظلموا بها ۚ وما نرسل بالآيات إلا تخويفا
Shakir
And when We said to you: Surely your Lord encompasses men; and We did not make the vision which We showed you but a trial for men and the cursed tree in the Quran as well; and We cause them to fear, but it only adds to their great inordinacy.
وإذ قلنا لك إن ربك أحاط بالناس ۚ وما جعلنا الرؤيا التي أريناك إلا فتنة للناس والشجرة الملعونة في القرآن ۚ ونخوفهم فما يزيدهم إلا طغيانا كبيرا
Shakir
And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He said: Shall I make obeisance to him whom Thou hast created of dust?
وإذ قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لآدم فسجدوا إلا إبليس قال أأسجد لمن خلقت طينا
Shakir
He said: Tell me, is this he whom Thou hast honored above me? If Thou shouldst respite me to the day of resurrection, I will most certainly cause his progeny to perish except a few.
قال اذهب فمن تبعك منهم فإن جهنم جزاؤكم جزاء موفورا
Shakir
And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice, and collect against them your forces riding and on foot, and share with them in wealth and children, and hold out promises to them; and the Shaitan makes not promises to them but to deceive:
ربكم الذي يزجي لكم الفلك في البحر لتبتغوا من فضله ۚ إنه كان بكم رحيما
Shakir
And when distress afflicts you in the sea, away go those whom you call on except He; but when He brings you safe to the land, you turn aside; and man is ever ungrateful.
وإذا مسكم الضر في البحر ضل من تدعون إلا إياه ۖ فلما نجاكم إلى البر أعرضتم ۚ وكان الإنسان كفورا
Shakir
What! Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a tract of land to engulf you or send on you a tornado? Then you shall not find a protector for yourselves.
أفأمنتم أن يخسف بكم جانب البر أو يرسل عليكم حاصبا ثم لا تجدوا لكم وكيلا
Shakir
Or, do you feel secure that He will (not) take you back into it another time, then send on you a fierce gale and thus drown you on account of your ungratefulness? Then you shall not find any aider against Us in the matter.
أم أمنتم أن يعيدكم فيه تارة أخرى فيرسل عليكم قاصفا من الريح فيغرقكم بما كفرتم ۙ ثم لا تجدوا لكم علينا به تبيعا
Shakir
And surely We have honored the children of Adam, and We carry them in the land and the sea, and We have given them of the good things, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom We have created.
۞ ولقد كرمنا بني آدم وحملناهم في البر والبحر ورزقناهم من الطيبات وفضلناهم على كثير ممن خلقنا تفضيلا
Shakir
(Remember) the day when We will call every people with their Imam; then whoever is given his book in his right hand, these shall read their book; and they shall not be dealt with a whit unjustly.
And surely they had purposed to turn you away from that which We have revealed to you, that you should forge against Us other than that, and then they would certainly have taken you for a friend.
In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a double (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment) after death, then you would not have found any helper against Us.
إذا لأذقناك ضعف الحياة وضعف الممات ثم لا تجد لك علينا نصيرا
Shakir
And surely they purposed to unsettle you from the land that they might expel you from it, and in that case they will not tarry behind you but a little.
Say: If men and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were aiders of others.
أو تسقط السماء كما زعمت علينا كسفا أو تأتي بالله والملائكة قبيلا
Shakir
Or you should have a house of gold, or you should ascend into heaven, and we will not believe in your ascending until you bring down to us a book which we may read. Say: Glory be to my Lord; am I aught but a mortal apostle?
قل كفى بالله شهيدا بيني وبينكم ۚ إنه كان بعباده خبيرا بصيرا
Shakir
And whomsoever Allah guides, he is the follower of the right way, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall not find for him guardians besides Him; and We will gather them together on the day of resurrection on their faces, blind and dumb and deaf; their abode is hell; whenever it becomes allayed We will add to their burning.
ومن يهد الله فهو المهتد ۖ ومن يضلل فلن تجد لهم أولياء من دونه ۖ ونحشرهم يوم القيامة على وجوههم عميا وبكما وصما ۖ مأواهم جهنم ۖ كلما خبت زدناهم سعيرا
Shakir
This is their retribution because they disbelieved in Our communications and said What! when we shall have become bones and decayed particles, shall we then indeed be raised up into a new creation?
Do they not consider that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their like, and He has appointed for them a doom about which there is no doubt? But the unjust do not consent to aught but denying.
قل لو أنتم تملكون خزائن رحمة ربي إذا لأمسكتم خشية الإنفاق ۚ وكان الإنسان قتورا
Shakir
And certainly We gave Musa nine clear signs; so ask the children of Israel. When he came to them, Firon said to him: Most surely I deem you, O Musa, to be a man deprived of reason.
ولقد آتينا موسى تسع آيات بينات ۖ فاسأل بني إسرائيل إذ جاءهم فقال له فرعون إني لأظنك يا موسى مسحورا
Shakir
He said: Truly you know that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent down these as clear proof and most surely I believe you, O Firon, to be given over to perdition.
And We said to the Israelites after him: Dwell in the land: and when the promise of the next life shall come to pass, we will bring you both together in judgment.
وبالحق أنزلناه وبالحق نزل ۗ وما أرسلناك إلا مبشرا ونذيرا
Shakir
And it is a Quran which We have revealed in portions so that you may read it to the people by slow degrees, and We have revealed it, revealing in portions.
وقرآنا فرقناه لتقرأه على الناس على مكث ونزلناه تنزيلا
Shakir
Say: Believe in it or believe not; surely those who are given the knowledge before it fall down on their faces, making obeisance when it is recited to them.
Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent Allah; whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do not utter your prayer with a very raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these.
قل ادعوا الله أو ادعوا الرحمن ۖ أيا ما تدعوا فله الأسماء الحسنى ۚ ولا تجهر بصلاتك ولا تخافت بها وابتغ بين ذلك سبيلا
Shakir
And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace; and proclaim His greatness magnifying (Him).
