The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[29.1] Alif
Lam Mim.
[29.2] Do men think that they
will be left alone on saying, We
believe, and not be tried?
[29.3] And certainly We tried
those before them, so Allah will
certainly know those who are true
and He will certainly know the
liars.
[29.4] Or do they who work
evil think that they will escape Us?
Evil is it that they judge!
[29.5] Whoever hopes to meet
Allah, the term appointed by Allah
will then most surely come; and He
is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[29.6] And whoever strives
hard, he strives only for his own
soul; most surely Allah is
Self-sufficient, above (need of) the
worlds.
[29.7] And (as for) those who
believe and do good, We will most
certainly do away with their evil
deeds and We will most certainly
reward them the best of what they
did.
[29.8] And We have enjoined
on man goodness to his parents, and
if they contend with you that you
should associate (others) with Me,
of which you have no knowledge, do
not obey them, to Me is your return,
so I will inform you of what you
did.
[29.9] And (as for) those who
believe and do good, We will most
surely cause them to enter among the
good.
[29.10] And among men is he
who says: We believe in Allah; but
when he is persecuted in (the way
of) Allah he thinks the persecution
of men to be as the chastisement of
Allah; and if there come assistance
from your Lord, they would most
certainly say: Surely we were with
you. What! is not Allah the best
knower of what is in the breasts of
mankind.
[29.11] And most certainly
Allah will know those who believe
and most certainly He will know the
hypocrites.
[29.12] And those who
disbelieve say to those who believe:
Follow our path and we will bear
your wrongs. And never shall they be
the bearers of any of their wrongs;
most surely they are liars.
[29.13] And most certainly
they shall carry their own burdens,
and other burdens with their own
burdens, and most certainly they
shall be questioned on the
resurrection day as to what they
forged.
[29.14] And certainly We sent
Nuh to his people, so he remained
among them a thousand years save
fifty years. And the deluge overtook
them, while they were unjust.
[29.15] So We delivered him
and the inmates of the ark, and made
it a sign to the nations.
[29.16] And (We sent)
Ibrahim, when he said to his people:
Serve Allah and be careful of (your
duty to) Him; this is best for you,
if you did but know:
[29.17] You only worship
idols besides Allah and you create a
lie surely they whom you serve
besides Allah do not control for you
any sustenance, therefore seek the
sustenance from Allah and serve Him
and be grateful to Him; to Him you
shall be brought back.
[29.18] And if you reject
(the truth), nations before you did
indeed reject (the truth); and
nothing is incumbent on the apostle
but a plain delivering (of the
message).
[29.19] What! do they not
consider how Allah originates the
creation, then reproduces it? Surely
that is easy to Allah.
[29.20] Say: Travel in the
earth and see how He makes the first
creation, then Allah creates the
latter creation; surely Allah has
power over all things.
[29.21] He punishes whom He
pleases and has mercy on whom He
pleases, and to Him you shall be
turned back.
[29.22] And you shall not
escape in the earth nor in the
heaven, and you have neither a
protector nor a helper besides
Allah.
[29.23] And (as to) those who
disbelieve in the communications of
Allah and His meeting, they have
despaired of My mercy, and these it
is that shall have a painful
punishment.
[29.24] So naught was the
answer of his people except that
they said: Slay him or burn him;
then Allah delivered him from the
fire; most surely there are signs in
this for a people who believe.
[29.25] And he said: You have
only taken for yourselves idols
besides Allah by way of friendship
between you in this world's life,
then on the resurrection day some of
you shall deny others, and some of
you shall curse others, and your
abode is the fire, and you shall not
have any helpers.
[29.26] And Lut believed in
Him, and he said: I am fleeing to my
Lord, surely He is the Mighty, the
Wise.
[29.27] And We granted him
Ishaq and Yaqoub, and caused the the
prophet hood and the book to remain
in his seed, and We gave him his
reward in this world, and in the
hereafter he will most surely be
among the good.
[29.28] And (We sent) Lut
when he said to his people: Most
surely you are guilty of an
indecency which none of the nations
has ever done before you;
[29.29] What! do you come to
the males and commit robbery on the
highway, and you commit evil deeds
in your assemblies? But nothing was
the answer of his people except that
they said: Bring on us Allah's
punishment, if you are one of the
truthful.
[29.30] He said: My Lord!
help me against the mischievous
people.
[29.31] And when Our
messengers came to Ibrahim with the
good news, they said: Surely we are
going to destroy the people of this
town, for its people are unjust.
[29.32] He said: Surely in it
is Lut. They said: We know well who
is in it; we shall certainly deliver
him and his followers, except his
wife; she shall be of those who
remain behind.
[29.33] And when Our
messengers came to Lut he was
grieved on account of them, and he
felt powerless (to protect) them;
and they said: Fear not, nor grieve;
surely we will deliver you and your
followers, except your wife; she
shall be of those who remain behind.
[29.34] Surely We will cause
to come down upon the people of this
town a punishment from heaven,
because they transgressed.
[29.35] And certainly We have
left a clear sign of it for a people
who understand.
[29.36] And to Madyan (We
sent) their brother Shuaib, so he
said: O my people! serve Allah and
fear the latter day and do not act
corruptly in the land, making
mischief.
[29.37] But they rejected
him, so a severe earthquake overtook
them, and they became motionless
bodies in their abode.
[29.38] And (We destroyed) Ad
and Samood, and from their dwellings
(this) is apparent to you indeed;
and the Shaitan made their deeds
fair-seeming to them, so he kept
them back from the path, though they
were endowed with intelligence and
skill,
[29.39] And (We destroyed)
Qaroun and Firon and Haman; and
certainly Musa came to them with
clear arguments, but they behaved
haughtily in the land; yet they
could not outstrip (Us).
[29.40] So each We punished
for his sin; of them was he on whom
We sent down a violent storm, and of
them was he whom the rumbling
overtook, and of them was he whom We
made to be swallowed up by the
earth, and of them was he whom We
drowned; and it did not beseem Allah
that He should be unjust to them,
but they were unjust to their own
souls.
[29.41] The parable of those
who take guardians besides Allah is
as the parable of the spider that
makes for itself a house; and most
surely the frailest of the houses is
the spider's house did they but
know.
[29.42] Surely Allah knows
whatever thing they call upon
besides Him; and He is the Mighty,
the Wise.
[29.43] And (as for) these
examples, We set them forth for men,
and none understand them but the
learned.
[29.44] Allah created the
heavens and the earth with truth;
most surely there is a sign in this
for the believers.
[29.45] Recite that which has
been revealed to you of the Book and
keep up prayer; surely prayer keeps
(one) away from indecency and evil,
and certainly the remembrance of
Allah is the greatest, and Allah
knows what you do.
[29.46] And do not dispute
with the followers of the Book
except by what is best, except those
of them who act unjustly, and say:
We believe in that which has been
revealed to us and revealed to you,
and our God and your God is One, and
to Him do we submit.
[29.47] And thus have We
revealed the Book to you. So those
whom We have given the Book believe
in it, and of these there are those
who believe in it, and none deny Our
communications except the
unbelievers.
[29.48] And you did not
recite before it any book, nor did
you transcribe one with your right
hand, for then could those who say
untrue things have doubted.
[29.49] Nay! these are clear
communications in the breasts of
those who are granted knowledge; and
none deny Our communications except
the unjust.
[29.50] And they say: Why are
not signs sent down upon him from
his Lord? Say: The signs are only
with Allah, and I am only a plain
warner.
[29.51] Is it not enough for
them that We have revealed to you
the Book which is recited to them?
Most surely there is mercy in this
and a reminder for a people who
believe.
[29.52] Say: Allah is
sufficient as a witness between me
and you; He knows what is in the
heavens and the earth. And (as for)
those who believe in the falsehood
and disbelieve in Allah, these it is
that are the losers.
[29.53] And they ask you to
hasten on the chastisement; and had
not a term been appointed, the
chastisement would certainly have
come to them; and most certainly it
will come to them all of a sudden
while they will not perceive.
[29.54] They ask you to
hasten on the chastisement, and most
surely hell encompasses the
unbelievers;
[29.55] On the day when the
chastisement shall cover them from
above them, and from beneath their
feet; and He shall say: Taste what
you did.
[29.56] O My servants who
believe! surely My earth is vast,
therefore Me alone should you serve.
[29.57] Every soul must taste
of death, then to Us you shall be
brought back.
[29.58] And (as for) those
who believe and do good, We will
certainly give them abode in the
high places in gardens beneath which
rivers flow, abiding therein; how
good the reward of the workers:
[29.59] Those who are
patient, and on their Lord do they
rely.
[29.60] And how many a living
creature that does not carry its
sustenance: Allah sustains it and
yourselves; and He is the Hearing,
the Knowing.
[29.61] And if you ask them,
Who created the heavens and the
earth and made the sun and the moon
subservient, they will certainly
say, Allah. Whence are they then
turned away?
[29.62] Allah makes abundant
the means of subsistence for whom He
pleases of His servants, and
straitens them for whom (He pleases)
surely Allah is Cognizant of all
things.
[29.63] And if you ask them
Who is it that sends down water from
the clouds, then gives life to the
earth with it after its death, they
will certainly say, Allah. Say: All
praise is due to Allah. Nay, most of
them do not understand.
[29.64] And this life of the
world is nothing but a sport and a
play; and as for the next abode,
that most surely is the life-- did
they but know!
[29.65] So when they ride in
the ships they call upon Allah,
being sincerely obedient to Him, but
when He brings them safe to the
land, lo! they associate others
(with Him);
[29.66] Thus they become
ungrateful for what We have given
them, so that they may enjoy; but
they shall soon know.
[29.67] Do they not see that
We have made a sacred territory
secure, while men are carried off by
force from around them? Will they
still believe in the falsehood and
disbelieve in the favor of Allah?
[29.68] And who is more
unjust than one who forges a lie
against Allah, or gives the lie to
the truth when it has come to him?
Will not in hell be the abode of the
unbelievers?
[29.69] And (as for) those
who strive hard for Us, We will most
certainly guide them in Our ways;
and Allah is most surely with the
doers of good. |
