The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
| Surah 35
- The Originator |
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[35.1] All
praise is due to Allah, the
Originator of the heavens and the
earth, the Maker of the angels,
messengers flying on wings, two, and
three, and four; He increases in
creation what He pleases; surely
Allah has power over all things.
[35.2] Whatever Allah grants
to men of (His) mercy, there is none
to withhold it, and what He
withholds there is none to send it
forth after that, and He is the
Mighty, the Wise
[35.3] O men! call to mind
the favor of Allah on you; is there
any creator besides Allah who gives
you sustenance from the heaven and
the earth? There is no god but He;
whence are you then turned away?
[35.4] And if they call you a
liar, truly apostles before you were
called liars, and to Allah are all
affairs returned.
[35.5] O men! surely the
promise of Allah is true, therefore
let not the life of this world
deceive you, and let not the arch
deceiver deceive you respecting
Allah.
[35.6] Surely the Shaitan is
your enemy, so take him for an
enemy; he only invites his party
that they may be inmates of the
burning
[35.7] (As for) those who
disbelieve, they shall have a severe
punishment, and (as for) those who
believe and do good, they shall have
forgiveness and a great reward.
[35.8] What! is he whose evil
deed is made fair-seeming to him so
much so that he considers it good?
Now surely Allah makes err whom He
pleases and guides aright whom He
pleases, so let not your soul waste
away in grief for them; surely Allah
is Cognizant of what they do
[35.9] And Allah is He Who
sends the winds so they raise a
cloud, then We drive it on to a dead
country, and therewith We give life
to the earth after its death; even
so is the quickening.
[35.10] Whoever desires
honor, then to Allah belongs the
honor wholly. To Him do ascend the
good words; and the good deeds, lift
them up, and (as for) those who plan
evil deeds, they shall have a severe
chastisement; and (as for) their
plan, it shall perish.
[35.11] And Allah created you
of dust, then of the life-germ, then
He made you pairs; and no female
bears, nor does she bring forth,
except with His knowledge; and no
one whose life is lengthened has his
life lengthened, nor is aught
diminished of one's life, but it is
all in a book; surely this is easy
to Allah.
[35.12] And the two seas are
not alike: the one sweet, that
subdues thirst by its excessive
sweetness, pleasant to drink; and
the other salt, that burns by its
saltiness; yet from each of them you
eat fresh flesh and bring forth
ornaments which you wear; and you
see the ships cleave through it that
you may seek of His bounty and that
you may be grateful.
[35.13] He causes the night
to enter in upon the day, and He
causes the day to enter in upon the
night, and He has made subservient
(to you) the sun and the moon; each
one follows its course to an
appointed time; this is Allah, your
Lord, His is the kingdom; and those
whom you call upon besides Him do
not control a straw.
[35.14] If you call on them
they shall not hear your call, and
even if they could hear they shall
not answer you; and on the
resurrection day they will deny your
associating them (with Allah); and
none can inform you like the One Who
is Aware.
[35.15] O men! you are they
who stand in need of Allah, and
Allah is He Who is the
Self-sufficient, the Praised One.
[35.16] If He please, He will
take you off and bring a new
generation.
[35.17] And this is not hard
to Allah.
[35.18] And a burdened soul
cannot bear the burden of another
and if one weighed down by burden
should cry for (another to carry)
its burden, not aught of it shall be
carried, even though he be near of
kin. You warn only those who fear
their Lord in secret and keep up
prayer; and whoever purifies
himself, he purifies himself only
for (the good of) his own soul; and
to Allah is the eventual coming.
[35.19] And the blind and the
seeing are not alike
[35.20] Nor the darkness and
the light,
[35.21] Nor the shade and the
heat,
[35.22] Neither are the
living and the dead alike. Surely
Allah makes whom He pleases hear,
and you cannot make those hear who
are m the graves.
[35.23] You are naught but a
warner.
[35.24] Surely We have sent
you with the truth as a bearer of
good news and a warner; and there is
not a people but a warner has gone
among them.
[35.25] And if they call you
a liar, so did those before them
indeed call (their apostles) liars;
their apostles had come to them with
clear arguments, and with
scriptures, and with the
illuminating book.
[35.26] Then did I punish
those who disbelieved, so how was
the manifestation of My disapproval?
[35.27] Do you not see that
Allah sends down water from the
cloud, then We bring forth therewith
fruits of various colors; and in the
mountains are streaks, white and
red, of various hues and (others)
intensely black?
[35.28] And of men and beasts
and cattle are various species of it
likewise; those of His servants only
who are possessed of knowledge fear
Allah; surely Allah is Mighty,
Forgiving.
[35.29] Surely they who
recite the Book of Allah and keep up
prayer and spend out of what We have
given them secretly and openly, hope
for a gain which will not perish.
[35.30] That He may pay them
back fully their rewards and give
them more out of His grace: surely
He is Forgiving, Multiplier of
rewards.
[35.31] And that which We
have revealed to you of the Book,
that is the truth verifying that
which is before it; most surely with
respect to His servants Allah is
Aware, Seeing.
[35.32] Then We gave the Book
for an inheritance to those whom We
chose from among Our servants; but
of them is he who makes his soul to
suffer a loss, and of them is he who
takes a middle course, and of them
is he who is foremost in deeds of
goodness by Allah's permission; this
is the great excellence.
[35.33] Gardens of
perpetuity, they shall enter
therein; they shad be made to wear
therein bracelets of gold and
pearls, and their dress therein
shall be silk.
[35.34] And they shall say:
(All) praise is due to Allah, Who
has made grief to depart from us;
most surely our Lord is Forgiving,
Multiplier of rewards,
[35.35] Who has made us
alight in a house abiding for ever
out of . His grace; toil shall not
touch us therein, nor shall fatigue
therein afflict us.
[35.34] And (as for) those
who disbelieve, for them is the fire
of hell; it shall not be finished
with them entirely so that they
should die, nor shall the
chastisement thereof be lightened to
them: even thus do We retribute
every ungrateful one.
[35.37] And they shall cry
therein for succor: O our Lord !
take us out, we will do good deeds
other than those which we used to
do. Did We not preserve you alive
long enough, so that he who would be
mindful in it should mind? And there
came to you the warner; therefore
taste; because for the unjust, there
is no helper.
[35.38] Surely Allah is the
Knower of what is unseen m the
heavens and the earth; surely He is
Cognizant of what IS m the hearts.
[35.39] He it is Who made you
rulers in the land; therefore
whoever disbelieves, his unbelief is
against himself; and their unbelief
does not increase the disbelievers
with their Lord in anything except
hatred; and their unbelief does not
increase the disbelievers m anything
except loss.
[35.40] Say: Have you
considered your associates which you
call upon besides Allah? Show me
what part of the earth they have
created, or have they any share in
the heavens; or, have We given them
a book so that they follow a clear
argument thereof? Nay, the unjust do
not hold out promises one to another
but only to deceive.
[35.41] Surely Allah upholds
the heavens and the earth lest they
come to naught; and if they should
come to naught, there Is none who
can uphold them after Him; surely He
is the Forbearing, the Forgiving.
[35.42] And they swore by
Allah with the strongest of their
oaths that if there came to them a
warner they would be better guided
than any of the nations; but when
there came to them a warner it
increased them in naught but
aversion.
[35.43] (In) behaving proudly
in the land and in planning evil;
and the evil plans shall not beset
any save the authors of it. Then
should they wait for aught except
the way of the former people? For
you shall not find any alteration in
the course of Allah; and you shall
not find any change in the course of
Allah.
[35.44] Have they not
traveled in the land and seen how
was the end of those before them
while they were stronger than these
in power? And Allah is not such that
any thing in the heavens or in the
earth should escape Him; surely He
is Knowing, Powerful.
[35.45] And were Allah to
punish men for what they earn, He
would not leave on the back of it
any creature, but He respites them
till an appointed term; so when
their doom shall come, then surely
Allah is Seeing with respect to His
servants. |
