The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[30.1] Alif
Lam Mim.
[30.2] The Romans are
vanquished,
[30.3] In a near land, and
they, after being vanquished, shall
overcome,
[30.4] Within a few years.
Allah's is the command before and
after; and on that day the believers
shall rejoice,
[30.5] With the help of
Allah; He helps whom He pleases; and
He is the Mighty, the Merciful;
[30.6] (This is) Allah's
promise! Allah will not fail His
promise, but most people do not
know.
[30.7] They know the outward
of this world's life, but of the
hereafter they are absolutely
heedless.
[30.8] Do they not reflect
within themselves: Allah did not
create the heavens and the earth and
what is between them two but with
truth, and (for) an appointed term?
And most surely most of the people
are deniers of the meeting of their
Lord.
[30.9] Have they not traveled
in the earth and seen how was the
end of those before them? They were
stronger than these in prowess, and
dug up the earth, and built on it in
greater abundance than these have
built on it, and there came to them
their apostles with clear arguments;
so it was not beseeming for Allah
that He should deal with them
unjustly, but they dealt unjustly
with their own souls.
[30.10] Then evil was the end
of those who did evil, because they
| rejected the communications of
Allah and used to mock them.
[30.11] Allah originates the
creation, then reproduces it, then
to Him you shall be brought back.
[30.12] And at the time when
the hour shall come the guilty shall
be in despair.
[30.13] And they shall not
have any intercessors from among
their gods they have joined with
God, and they shall be deniers of
their associate-gods.
[30.14] And at the time when
the hour shall come, at that time
they shall become separated one from
the other.
[30.15] Then as to those who
believed and did good, they shall be
made happy in a garden.
[30.16] And as to those who
disbelieved and rejected Our
communications and the meeting of
the hereafter, these shall be
brought over to the chastisement.
[30.17] Therefore glory be to
Allah when you enter upon the time
of the evening and when you enter
upon the time of the morning.
[30.18] And to Him belongs
praise in the heavens and the earth,
and at nightfall and when you are at
midday.
[30.19] He brings forth the
living from the dead and brings
forth the dead from the living, and
gives life to the earth after its
death, and thus shall you be brought
forth.
[30.20] And one of His signs
is that He created you from dust,
then lo! you are mortals (who)
scatter.
[30.21] And one of His signs
is that He created mates for you
from yourselves that you may find
rest in them, and He put between you
love and compassion; most surely
there are signs in this for a people
who reflect.
[30.22] And one of His signs
is the creation of the heavens and
the earth and the diversity of your
tongues and colors; most surely
there are signs in this for the
learned.
[30.23] And one of His signs
is your sleeping and your seeking of
His grace by night and (by) day;
most surely there are signs in this
for a people who would hear.
[30.24] And one of His signs
is that He shows you the lightning
for fear and for hope, and sends
down water from the clouds then
gives life therewith to the earth
after its death; most surely there
are signs in this for a people who
understand
[30.25] And one of His signs
is that the heaven and the earth
subsist by His command, then when He
calls you with a (single) call from
out of the earth, lo! you come
forth.
[30.26] And His is whosoever
is in the heavens and the earth; all
are obedient to Him.
[30.27] And He it is Who
originates the creation, then
reproduces it, and it is easy to
Him; and His are the most exalted
attributes in the heavens and the
earth, and He is the Mighty, the
Wise.
[30.28] He sets forth to you
a parable relating to yourselves:
Have you among those whom your right
hands possess partners in what We
have given you for sustenance, so
that with respect to it you are
alike; you fear them as you fear
each other? Thus do We make the
communications distinct for a people
who understand.
[30.29] Nay! those who are
unjust follow their low desires
without any knowledge; so who can
guide him whom Allah makes err? And
they shall have no helpers.
[30.30] Then set your face
upright for religion in the right
state-- the nature made by Allah in
which He has made men; there is no
altering of Allah's creation; that
is the right religion, but most
people do not know--
[30.31] Turning to Him, and
be careful of (your duty to) Him and
keep up prayer and be not of the
polytheists
[30.32] Of those who divided
their religion and became seas every
sect rejoicing in what they had with
them
[30.33] And when harm
afflicts men, they call upon their
Lord, turning to Him, then when He
makes them taste of mercy from Him,
lo! some of them begin to associate
(others) with their Lord,
[30.34] So as to be
ungrateful for what We have given
them; but enjoy yourselves (for a
while), for you shall soon come to
know.
[30.35] Or, have We sent down
upon them an authority so that it
speaks of that which they associate
with Him?
[30.36] And when We make
people taste of mercy they rejoice
in it, and if an evil befall them
for what their hands have already
wrought, lo! they are in despair.
[30.37] Do they not see that
Allah makes ample provision for whom
He pleases, or straitens? Most
surely there are signs in this for a
people who believe.
[30.38] Then give to the near
of kin his due, and to the needy and
the wayfarer; this is best for those
who desire Allah's pleasure, and
these it is who are successful.
[30.39] And whatever you lay
out as usury, so that it may
increase in the property of men, it
shall not increase with Allah; and
whatever you give in charity,
desiring Allah's pleasure-- it is
these (persons) that shall get
manifold.
[30.40] Allah is He Who
created you, then gave you
sustenance, then He causes you to
die, then brings you to life. Is
there any of your associate-gods who
does aught of it? Glory be to Him,
and exalted be He above what they
associate (with Him).
[30.41] Corruption has
appeared in the land and the sea on
account of what the hands of men
have wrought, that He may make them
taste a part of that which they have
done, so that they may return.
[30.42] Say: Travel in the
land, then see how was the end of
those before; most of them were
polytheists.
[30.43] Then turn thy face
straight to the right religion
before there come from Allah the day
which cannot be averted; on that day
they shall become separated.
[30.44] Whoever disbelieves,
he shall be responsible for his
disbelief, and whoever does good,
they prepare (good) for their own
souls,
[30.45] That He may reward
those who believe and do good out of
His grace; surely He does not love
the unbelievers.
[30.46] And one of His signs
is that He sends forth the winds
bearing good news, and that He may
make your taste of His mercy, and
that the ships may run by His
command, and that you may seek of
His grace, and that you may be
grateful.
[30.47] And certainly We sent
before you apostles to their people,
so they came to them with clear
arguments, then We gave the
punishment to those who were guilty;
and helping the believers is ever
incumbent on Us.
[30.48] Allah is he Who sends
forth the winds so they raise a
cloud, then He spreads it forth in
the sky as He pleases, and He breaks
it up so that you see the rain
coming forth from inside it; then
when He causes it to fall upon whom
He pleases of His servants, lo! they
are joyful
[30.49] Though they were
before this, before it was sent down
upon them, confounded in sure
despair.
[30.50] Look then at the
signs of Allah's mercy, how He gives
life to the earth after its death,
most surely He will raise the dead
to life; and He has power over all
things.
[30.51] And if We send a wind
and they see it to be yellow, they
would after that certainly continue
to disbelieve
[30.52] For surely you
cannot, make the dead to hear and
you cannot make the deaf to hear the
call, when they turn back and
[30.53] Nor can you lead away
the blind out of their error. You
cannot make to hear any but those
who believe in Our communications so
they shall submit.
[30.54] Allah is He Who
created you from a state of weakness
then He gave strength after
weakness, then ordained weakness and
hoary hair after strength; He
creates what He pleases, and He is
the Knowing, the Powerful.
[30.55] And at the time when
the hour shall come, the guilty
shall swear (that) they did not
tarry but an hour; thus are they
ever turned away.
[30.56] And those who are
given knowledge and faith will say:
Certainly you tarried according to
the ordinance of Allah till the day
of resurrection, so this is the day
of resurrection, but you did not
know.
[30.57] But on that day their
excuse shall not profit those who
were unjust, nor shall they be
regarded with goodwill.
[30.58] And certainly We have
set forth for men every kind of
example in this Quran; and if you
should bring them a communication,
those who disbelieve would certainly
say: You are naught but false
claimants.
[30.59] Thus does Allah set a
seal on the hearts of those who do
not know.
[30.60] Therefore be patient;
surely the promise of Allah is true
and let not those who have no
certainty hold you in light
estimation. |
