بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم ۚ إن زلزلة الساعة شيء عظيم
Yusuf Ali
The Day ye shall see it, every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling - babe, and every pregnant female shall drop her load (unformed): thou shalt see mankind as in a drunken riot, yet not drunk: but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah.
ومن الناس من يجادل في الله بغير علم ويتبع كل شيطان مريد
Yusuf Ali
About the (Evil One) it is decreed that whoever turns to him for friendship, him will he lead astray, and he will guide him to the Penalty of the Fire.
كتب عليه أنه من تولاه فأنه يضله ويهديه إلى عذاب السعير
Yusuf Ali
O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech - like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).
يا أيها الناس إن كنتم في ريب من البعث فإنا خلقناكم من تراب ثم من نطفة ثم من علقة ثم من مضغة مخلقة وغير مخلقة لنبين لكم ۚ ونقر في الأرحام ما نشاء إلى أجل مسمى ثم نخرجكم طفلا ثم لتبلغوا أشدكم ۖ ومنكم من يتوفى ومنكم من يرد إلى أرذل العمر لكيلا يعلم من بعد علم شيئا ۚ وترى الأرض هامدة فإذا أنزلنا عليها الماء اهتزت وربت وأنبتت من كل زوج بهيج
Yusuf Ali
This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over all things.
ومن الناس من يجادل في الله بغير علم ولا هدى ولا كتاب منير
Yusuf Ali
(Disdainfully) bending his side, in order to lead (men) astray from the Path of Allah: for him there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of Judgment We shall make him taste the Penalty of burning (Fire).
There are among men some who serve Allah, as it were, on the verge: if good befalls them, they are, therewith, well content; but if a trial comes to them, they turn on their faces: they lose both this world and the Hereafter: that is loss for all to see!
إن الله يدخل الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار ۚ إن الله يفعل ما يريد
Yusuf Ali
If any think that Allah will not help him (His Messenger) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)!
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians, Christians, Magians, and Polytheists, - Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment: for Allah is witness of all things.
إن الذين آمنوا والذين هادوا والصابئين والنصارى والمجوس والذين أشركوا إن الله يفصل بينهم يوم القيامة ۚ إن الله على كل شيء شهيد
Yusuf Ali
Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth, - the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace, - None can raise to honour: for Allah carries out all that He wills.
ألم تر أن الله يسجد له من في السماوات ومن في الأرض والشمس والقمر والنجوم والجبال والشجر والدواب وكثير من الناس ۖ وكثير حق عليه العذاب ۗ ومن يهن الله فما له من مكرم ۚ إن الله يفعل ما يشاء ۩
Yusuf Ali
These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: But those who deny (their Lord), - for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water.
كلما أرادوا أن يخرجوا منها من غم أعيدوا فيها وذوقوا عذاب الحريق
Yusuf Ali
Allah will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds, to Gardens beneath which rivers flow: they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk.
As to those who have rejected (Allah), and would keep back (men) from the Way of Allah, and from the Sacred Mosque, which We have made (open) to (all) men - equal is the dweller there and the visitor from the country - and any whose purpose therein is profanity or wrong - doing - them will We cause to taste of a most Grievous Penalty.
إن الذين كفروا ويصدون عن سبيل الله والمسجد الحرام الذي جعلناه للناس سواء العاكف فيه والباد ۚ ومن يرد فيه بإلحاد بظلم نذقه من عذاب أليم
Yusuf Ali
Behold! We gave the site, to Abraham, of the (Sacred) House, (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).
وإذ بوأنا لإبراهيم مكان البيت أن لا تشرك بي شيئا وطهر بيتي للطائفين والقائمين والركع السجود
Yusuf Ali
"And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways;
وأذن في الناس بالحج يأتوك رجالا وعلى كل ضامر يأتين من كل فج عميق
Yusuf Ali
"That they may witness the benefits (provided) for them, and celebrate the name of Allah, through the Days appointed, over the cattle which He has provided for them (for sacrifice): then eat ye thereof and feed the distressed ones in want.
ثم ليقضوا تفثهم وليوفوا نذورهم وليطوفوا بالبيت العتيق
Yusuf Ali
Such (is the Pilgrimage): whoever honours the sacred rites of Allah, for him it is good in the Sight of his Lord. Lawful to you (for food in Pilgrimage) are cattle, except those mentioned to you (as exception): but shun the abomination of idols, and shun the word that is false, -
ذلك ومن يعظم حرمات الله فهو خير له عند ربه ۗ وأحلت لكم الأنعام إلا ما يتلى عليكم ۖ فاجتنبوا الرجس من الأوثان واجتنبوا قول الزور
Yusuf Ali
Being true in faith to Allah, and never assigning partners to Him: if anyone assigns partners to Allah, is as if he had fallen from heaven and been snatched up by birds, or the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and thrown him into a far - distant place.
حنفاء لله غير مشركين به ۚ ومن يشرك بالله فكأنما خر من السماء فتخطفه الطير أو تهوي به الريح في مكان سحيق
Yusuf Ali
Such (is his state): and whoever holds in honour the symbols of Allah, (in the sacrifice of animals), such (honour) should come truly from piety of heart.
لكم فيها منافع إلى أجل مسمى ثم محلها إلى البيت العتيق
Yusuf Ali
To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice), that they might celebrate the name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food). But your god is One God: submit then your wills to Him (in Islam): and give thou the good news to those who humble themselves, -
ولكل أمة جعلنا منسكا ليذكروا اسم الله على ما رزقهم من بهيمة الأنعام ۗ فإلهكم إله واحد فله أسلموا ۗ وبشر المخبتين
Yusuf Ali
To those whose hearts when Allah is mentioned, are filled with fear, who show patient perseverance over their afflictions, keep up regular prayer, and spend (in charity) out of what We have bestowed upon them.
الذين إذا ذكر الله وجلت قلوبهم والصابرين على ما أصابهم والمقيمي الصلاة ومما رزقناهم ينفقون
Yusuf Ali
The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the symbols from Allah: in them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat ye thereof, and feed such as (beg not but) live in contentment, and such as beg with due humility: thus have We made animals subject to you, that ye may be grateful.
والبدن جعلناها لكم من شعائر الله لكم فيها خير ۖ فاذكروا اسم الله عليها صواف ۖ فإذا وجبت جنوبها فكلوا منها وأطعموا القانع والمعتر ۚ كذلك سخرناها لكم لعلكم تشكرون
Yusuf Ali
It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for His Guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right.
أذن للذين يقاتلون بأنهم ظلموا ۚ وإن الله على نصرهم لقدير
Yusuf Ali
(They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right, - (for no cause) except that they say, "our Lord is Allah". Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid his (cause); - for verily Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will).
الذين أخرجوا من ديارهم بغير حق إلا أن يقولوا ربنا الله ۗ ولولا دفع الله الناس بعضهم ببعض لهدمت صوامع وبيع وصلوات ومساجد يذكر فيها اسم الله كثيرا ۗ ولينصرن الله من ينصره ۗ إن الله لقوي عزيز
Yusuf Ali
(They are) those who, if We establish them in the land, establish regular prayer and give regular charity, enjoin the right and forbid wrong: with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs.
And the Companions of the Madyan People; and Moses was rejected (in the same way). But I granted respite to the Unbelievers, and (only) after that did I punish them: but how (terrible) was my rejection (of them)!
وأصحاب مدين ۖ وكذب موسى فأمليت للكافرين ثم أخذتهم ۖ فكيف كان نكير
Yusuf Ali
How many populations have We destroyed, which were given to wrong - doing? They tumbled down on their roofs. And how many wells are lying idle and neglected, and castles lofty and well - built?
فكأين من قرية أهلكناها وهي ظالمة فهي خاوية على عروشها وبئر معطلة وقصر مشيد
Yusuf Ali
Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts.
أفلم يسيروا في الأرض فتكون لهم قلوب يعقلون بها أو آذان يسمعون بها ۖ فإنها لا تعمى الأبصار ولكن تعمى القلوب التي في الصدور
Yusuf Ali
Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! But Allah will not fail in His Promise. Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
Never did We send a messenger or a prophet before thee, but, when he framed a desire, Satan threw some (vanity) into his desire: but Allah will cancel anything (vain) that Satan throws in, and Allah will confirm (and establish) His Signs: for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom:
وما أرسلنا من قبلك من رسول ولا نبي إلا إذا تمنى ألقى الشيطان في أمنيته فينسخ الله ما يلقي الشيطان ثم يحكم الله آياته ۗ والله عليم حكيم
Yusuf Ali
That He may make the suggestions thrown in by Satan, but a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease and who are hardened of heart: verily the wrong - doers are in a schism far (from the Truth):
ليجعل ما يلقي الشيطان فتنة للذين في قلوبهم مرض والقاسية قلوبهم ۗ وإن الظالمين لفي شقاق بعيد
Yusuf Ali
And that those on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Qur'an) is the Truth from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may be made humbly (open) to it: for verily Allah is the Guide of those who believe, to the Straight Way.
وليعلم الذين أوتوا العلم أنه الحق من ربك فيؤمنوا به فتخبت له قلوبهم ۗ وإن الله لهاد الذين آمنوا إلى صراط مستقيم
Yusuf Ali
Those who reject Faith will not cease to be in doubt concerning (Revelation) until the Hour (of Judgment) comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the Penalty of a Day of Disaster.
ولا يزال الذين كفروا في مرية منه حتى تأتيهم الساعة بغتة أو يأتيهم عذاب يوم عقيم
Yusuf Ali
On that Day of Dominion will be that of Allah: He will judge between them: so those who believe and work righteous deeds will be in Gardens of Delight.
Those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die, - On them will Allah bestow verily a goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best provision.
That (is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, Allah will help him: for Allah is One that blots out (sins) and forgives (again and again).
ذلك بأن الله يولج الليل في النهار ويولج النهار في الليل وأن الله سميع بصير
Yusuf Ali
That is because Allah - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom they invoke, - they are but vain Falsehood: verily Allah is He, Most High, Most Great.
ذلك بأن الله هو الحق وأن ما يدعون من دونه هو الباطل وأن الله هو العلي الكبير
Yusuf Ali
Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and forthwith the earth becomes clothed with green? for Allah is He Who understands the finest mysteries, and is well - acquainted (with them).
له ما في السماوات وما في الأرض ۗ وإن الله لهو الغني الحميد
Yusuf Ali
Seest thou not that Allah has made subject to you (men) all that is on the earth, and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command? He withholds the sky (rain) from failing on the earth except by His leave: for Allah is Most Kind and Most Merciful to man.
وهو الذي أحياكم ثم يميتكم ثم يحييكم ۗ إن الإنسان لكفور
Yusuf Ali
To every People have We appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow: let them not then dispute with thee on the matter, but do thou invite (them) to thy Lord: for thou art assuredly on the Right Way.
ألم تعلم أن الله يعلم ما في السماء والأرض ۗ إن ذلك في كتاب ۚ إن ذلك على الله يسير
Yusuf Ali
Yet they worship, besides Allah, things for which no authority has been sent down to them, and of which they have (really) no knowledge: for those that do wrong there is no helper.
ويعبدون من دون الله ما لم ينزل به سلطانا وما ليس لهم به علم ۗ وما للظالمين من نصير
Yusuf Ali
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, thou wilt notice a denial on the faces of the Unbelievers! they nearly attack with violence those who rehearse Our Signs to them. Say, "Shall I tell you of something (far) worse than these Signs? It is the Fire (of Hell)! Allah has promised it to the Unbelievers! and evil is that destination!"
وإذا تتلى عليهم آياتنا بينات تعرف في وجوه الذين كفروا المنكر ۖ يكادون يسطون بالذين يتلون عليهم آياتنا ۗ قل أفأنبئكم بشر من ذلكم ۗ النار وعدها الله الذين كفروا ۖ وبئس المصير
Yusuf Ali
O men! Here is a parable set forth! listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!
يا أيها الناس ضرب مثل فاستمعوا له ۚ إن الذين تدعون من دون الله لن يخلقوا ذبابا ولو اجتمعوا له ۖ وإن يسلبهم الذباب شيئا لا يستنقذوه منه ۚ ضعف الطالب والمطلوب
Yusuf Ali
No just estimate have they made of Allah: for Allah is He Who is strong and able to Carry out His Will.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا اركعوا واسجدوا واعبدوا ربكم وافعلوا الخير لعلكم تفلحون ۩
Yusuf Ali
And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!
وجاهدوا في الله حق جهاده ۚ هو اجتباكم وما جعل عليكم في الدين من حرج ۚ ملة أبيكم إبراهيم ۚ هو سماكم المسلمين من قبل وفي هذا ليكون الرسول شهيدا عليكم وتكونوا شهداء على الناس ۚ فأقيموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة واعتصموا بالله هو مولاكم ۖ فنعم المولى ونعم النصير
