بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الر ۚ كتاب أنزلناه إليك لتخرج الناس من الظلمات إلى النور بإذن ربهم إلى صراط العزيز الحميد
Shakir
Alif Lam Ra. (This is) a Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men, by their Lord's permission from utter darkness into light - - to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One,
الذين يستحبون الحياة الدنيا على الآخرة ويصدون عن سبيل الله ويبغونها عوجا ۚ أولئك في ضلال بعيد
Shakir
(To) those who love this world's life more than the hereafter, and turn away from Allah's path and desire to make it crooked; these are in a great error.
وما أرسلنا من رسول إلا بلسان قومه ليبين لهم ۖ فيضل الله من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء ۚ وهو العزيز الحكيم
Shakir
And We did not send any apostle but with the language of his people, so that he might explain to them clearly; then Allah makes whom He pleases err and He guides whom He pleases and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
ولقد أرسلنا موسى بآياتنا أن أخرج قومك من الظلمات إلى النور وذكرهم بأيام الله ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لكل صبار شكور
Shakir
And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications, saying: Bring forth your people from utter darkness into light and remind them of the days of Allah; most surely there are signs in this for every patient, grateful one.
وإذ قال موسى لقومه اذكروا نعمة الله عليكم إذ أنجاكم من آل فرعون يسومونكم سوء العذاب ويذبحون أبناءكم ويستحيون نساءكم ۚ وفي ذلكم بلاء من ربكم عظيم
Shakir
And when Musa said to his people: Call to mind Allah's favor to you when He delivered you from Firon's people, who subjected you to severe torment, and slew your sons and spared your women; and in this there was a great trial from your Lord.
ألم يأتكم نبأ الذين من قبلكم قوم نوح وعاد وثمود ۛ والذين من بعدهم ۛ لا يعلمهم إلا الله ۚ جاءتهم رسلهم بالبينات فردوا أيديهم في أفواههم وقالوا إنا كفرنا بما أرسلتم به وإنا لفي شك مما تدعوننا إليه مريب
Shakir
Has not the account reached you of those before you, of the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and those after them? None knows them but Allah. Their apostles come to them with clear arguments, but they thrust their hands into their mouths and said: Surely we deny that with which you are sent, and most surely we are in serious doubt as to that to which you invite us.
۞ قالت رسلهم أفي الله شك فاطر السماوات والأرض ۖ يدعوكم ليغفر لكم من ذنوبكم ويؤخركم إلى أجل مسمى ۚ قالوا إن أنتم إلا بشر مثلنا تريدون أن تصدونا عما كان يعبد آباؤنا فأتونا بسلطان مبين
Shakir
Their apostles said: Is there doubt about Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? He invites you to forgive you your faults and to respite you till an appointed term. They said: You are nothing but mortals like us; you wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship; bring us therefore some clear authority.
قالت لهم رسلهم إن نحن إلا بشر مثلكم ولكن الله يمن على من يشاء من عباده ۖ وما كان لنا أن نأتيكم بسلطان إلا بإذن الله ۚ وعلى الله فليتوكل المؤمنون
Shakir
Their apostles said to them: We are nothing but mortals like yourselves, but Allah bestows (His) favors on whom He pleases of His servants, and it is not for us that we should bring you an authority except by Allah's permission; and on Allah should the believers rely.
وما لنا ألا نتوكل على الله وقد هدانا سبلنا ۚ ولنصبرن على ما آذيتمونا ۚ وعلى الله فليتوكل المتوكلون
Shakir
And what reason have we that we should not rely on Allah? And He has indeed guided us in our ways; and certainly we would bear with patience your persecution of us; and on Allah should the reliant rely.
وقال الذين كفروا لرسلهم لنخرجنكم من أرضنا أو لتعودن في ملتنا ۖ فأوحى إليهم ربهم لنهلكن الظالمين
Shakir
And those who disbelieved said to their apostles: We will most certainly drive you forth from our land, or else you shall come back into our religion. So their Lord revealed to them: Most certainly We will destroy the unjust.
يتجرعه ولا يكاد يسيغه ويأتيه الموت من كل مكان وما هو بميت ۖ ومن ورائه عذاب غليظ
Shakir
He will drink it little by little and will not be able to swallow it agreeably, and death will come to him from every quarter, but he shall not die; and there shall be vehement chastisement before him.
مثل الذين كفروا بربهم ۖ أعمالهم كرماد اشتدت به الريح في يوم عاصف ۖ لا يقدرون مما كسبوا على شيء ۚ ذلك هو الضلال البعيد
Shakir
The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their actions are like ashes on which the wind blows hard on a stormy day; they shall not have power over any thing out of what they have earned; this is the great error.
وبرزوا لله جميعا فقال الضعفاء للذين استكبروا إنا كنا لكم تبعا فهل أنتم مغنون عنا من عذاب الله من شيء ۚ قالوا لو هدانا الله لهديناكم ۖ سواء علينا أجزعنا أم صبرنا ما لنا من محيص
Shakir
And they shall all come forth before Allah, then the weak shall say to those who were proud: Surely we were your followers, can you therefore avert from us any part of the chastisement of Allah? They would say: If Allah had guided us, we too would have guided you; it is the same to us whether we are impatient (now) or patient, there is no place for us to fly to.
وقال الشيطان لما قضي الأمر إن الله وعدكم وعد الحق ووعدتكم فأخلفتكم ۖ وما كان لي عليكم من سلطان إلا أن دعوتكم فاستجبتم لي ۖ فلا تلوموني ولوموا أنفسكم ۖ ما أنا بمصرخكم وما أنتم بمصرخي ۖ إني كفرت بما أشركتمون من قبل ۗ إن الظالمين لهم عذاب أليم
Shakir
And the Shaitan shall say after the affair is decided: Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth, and I gave you promises, then failed to keep them to you, and I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me, therefore do not blame me but blame yourselves: I cannot be your aider (now) nor can you be my aiders; surely I disbelieved in your associating me with Allah before; surely it is the unjust that shall have the painful punishment.
وأدخل الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها بإذن ربهم ۖ تحيتهم فيها سلام
Shakir
And those who believe and do good are made to enter gardens, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them by their Lord's permission; their greeting therein is, Peace.
يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة ۖ ويضل الله الظالمين ۚ ويفعل الله ما يشاء
Shakir
Allah confirms those who believe with the sure word in this world's life and in the hereafter, and Allah causes the unjust to go astray, and Allah does what He pleases.
قل لعبادي الذين آمنوا يقيموا الصلاة وينفقوا مما رزقناهم سرا وعلانية من قبل أن يأتي يوم لا بيع فيه ولا خلال
Shakir
Say to My servants who believe that they should keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly and openly before the coming of the day in which there shall be no bartering nor mutual befriending.
الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض وأنزل من السماء ماء فأخرج به من الثمرات رزقا لكم ۖ وسخر لكم الفلك لتجري في البحر بأمره ۖ وسخر لكم الأنهار
Shakir
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and sent down water from the clouds, then brought forth with it fruits as a sustenance for you, and He has made the ships subservient to you, that they might run their course in the sea by His command, and He has made the rivers subservient to you.
وآتاكم من كل ما سألتموه ۚ وإن تعدوا نعمت الله لا تحصوها ۗ إن الإنسان لظلوم كفار
Shakir
And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you count Allah's favors, you will not be able to number them; most surely man is very unjust, very ungrateful.
رب إنهن أضللن كثيرا من الناس ۖ فمن تبعني فإنه مني ۖ ومن عصاني فإنك غفور رحيم
Shakir
My Lord! surely they have led many men astray; then whoever follows me, he is surely of me, and whoever disobeys me, Thou surely art Forgiving, Merciful:
ربنا إني أسكنت من ذريتي بواد غير ذي زرع عند بيتك المحرم ربنا ليقيموا الصلاة فاجعل أفئدة من الناس تهوي إليهم وارزقهم من الثمرات لعلهم يشكرون
Shakir
O our Lord! surely I have settled a part of my offspring in a valley unproductive of fruit near Thy Sacred House, our Lord! that they may keep up prayer; therefore make the hearts of some people yearn towards them and provide them with fruits; haply they may be grateful:
وأنذر الناس يوم يأتيهم العذاب فيقول الذين ظلموا ربنا أخرنا إلى أجل قريب نجب دعوتك ونتبع الرسل ۗ أولم تكونوا أقسمتم من قبل ما لكم من زوال
Shakir
And warn people of the day when the chastisement shall come to them, then those who were unjust will say: O our Lord! respite us to a near term, (so) we shall respond to Thy call and follow the apostles. What! did you not swear before (that) there will be no passing away for you!
وسكنتم في مساكن الذين ظلموا أنفسهم وتبين لكم كيف فعلنا بهم وضربنا لكم الأمثال
Shakir
And you dwell in the abodes of those who were unjust to themselves, and it is clear to you how We dealt with them and We have made (them) examples to you.
يوم تبدل الأرض غير الأرض والسماوات ۖ وبرزوا لله الواحد القهار
Shakir
On the day when the earth shall be changed into a different earth, and the heavens (as well), and they shall come forth before Allah, the One, the Supreme.
هذا بلاغ للناس ولينذروا به وليعلموا أنما هو إله واحد وليذكر أولو الألباب
Shakir
This is a sufficient exposition for the people and that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is One Allah and that those possessed of understanding may mind.
