Saheeh International

Yusuf Ali

27 "But Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind.

Saheeh International

Yusuf Ali

28 "Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!"

Saheeh International

28 Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

Yusuf Ali

29 Therefore proclaim thou the praises (of thy Lord): for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no (vulgar) soothsayer, nor art thou one possessed.

Saheeh International

29 So remind [O Muhammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.

Yusuf Ali

30 Or do they say: - "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"

Saheeh International

30 Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time?"

Yusuf Ali

31 Say thou: "Await ye! - I too will wait along with you!"

Saheeh International

31 Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters."

Yusuf Ali

32 Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this, or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?

Saheeh International

32 Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?

Yusuf Ali

33 Or do they say, "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay, they have no faith!

Saheeh International

Saheeh International

34 Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.

Yusuf Ali

35 Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?

Saheeh International

35 Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

Yusuf Ali

36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.

Saheeh International

36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

Yusuf Ali

37 Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they the managers (of affairs)?

Saheeh International

37 Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?

Yusuf Ali

38 Or have they a ladder, by which they can (climb up to heaven and) listen (to its secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs produce a manifest proof.

Saheeh International

38 Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority.

Yusuf Ali

39 Or has He only daughters and ye have sons?

Saheeh International

40 Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

Yusuf Ali

41 Or that the Unseen in it their hands, and they write it down?

Saheeh International

41 Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

Yusuf Ali

42 Or do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy Allah are themselves involved in a Plot!

Saheeh International

42 Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

Yusuf Ali

43 Or have they a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him!

Saheeh International

43 Or have they a deity other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.

Yusuf Ali

44 Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"

Saheeh International

44 And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."

Yusuf Ali

45 So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs, wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror), -

Saheeh International

45 So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

Yusuf Ali

46 The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be given them.

Saheeh International

46 The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.

Yusuf Ali

47 And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this: But most of them understand not.

Saheeh International

47 And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.

Yusuf Ali

48 Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth,

Saheeh International

48 And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord when you arise.

Yusuf Ali

49 And for part of the night also praise thou Him, - and at the retreat of the stars!

Saheeh International

49 And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.
