(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |

| Surah 39
- The Companions |
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[39.1] The
revelation of the Book is from
Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
[39.2] Surely We have
revealed to you the Book with the
truth, therefore serve Allah, being
sincere to Him in obedience.
[39.3] Now, surely, sincere
obedience is due to Allah (alone)
and (as for) those who take
guardians besides Him, (saying), We
do not serve them save that they may
make us nearer to Allah, surely
Allah will judge between them in
that in which they differ; surely
Allah does not guide him aright who
is a liar, ungrateful.
[39.4] If Allah desire to
take a son to Himself, He will
surely choose those He pleases from
what He has created. Glory be to
Him: He is Allah, the One, the
Subduer (of all).
[39.5] He has created the
heavens and the earth with the
truth; He makes the night cover the
day and makes the day overtake the
night, and He has made the sun and
the moon subservient; each one runs
on to an assigned term; now surely
He is the Mighty, the great
Forgiver.
[39.6] He has created you
from a single being, then made its
mate of the same (kind), and He has
made for you eight of the cattle in
pairs. He creates you in the wombs
of your mothers-- a creation after a
creation-- in triple darkness; that
is Allah your Lord, His is the
kingdom; there is no god but He;
whence are you then turned away?
[39.7] If you are ungrateful,
then surely Allah is Self-sufficient
above all need of you; and He does
not like ungratefulness in His
servants; and if you are grateful,
He likes it in you; and no bearer of
burden shall bear the burden of
another; then to your Lord is your
return, then will He inform you of
what you did; surely He is Cognizant
of what is in the breasts.
[39.8] And when distress
afflicts a man he calls upon his
Lord turning to Him frequently; then
when He makes him possess a favor
from Him, he forgets that for which
he called upon Him before, and sets
up rivals to Allah that he may cause
(men) to stray off from His path.
Say: Enjoy yourself in your
ungratefulness a little, surely you
are of the inmates of the fire.
[39.9] What! he who is
obedient during hours of the night,
prostrating himself and standing,
takes care of the hereafter and
hopes for the mercy of his Lord!
Say: Are those who know and those
who do not know alike? Only the men
of understanding are mindful.
[39.10] Say: O my servants
who believe! be careful of (your
duty to) your Lord; for those who do
good in this world is good, and
Allah's earth is spacious; only the
patient will be paid back their
reward in full without measure.
[39.11] Say: I am commanded
that I should serve Allah, being
sincere to Him in obedience.
[39.12] And I am commanded
that I shall be the first of those
who submit.
[39.13] Say: I fear, if I
disobey my Lord, the chastisement of
a grievous day.
[39.14] Say: Allah (it is
Whom) I serve, being sincere to Him
in my obedience:
[39.15] Serve then what you
like besides Him. Say: The losers
surely are those who shall have lost
themselves and their families on the
day of resurrection; now surely that
is the clear loss.
[39.16] They shall have
coverings of fire above them and
coverings beneath them; with that
Allah makes His servants to fear, so
be careful of (your duty to) Me, O
My servants!
[39.17] And (as for) those
who keep off from the worship of the
idols and turn to Allah, they shall
have good news, therefore give good
news to My servants,
[39.18] Those who listen to
the word, then follow the best of
it; those are they whom Allah has
guided, and those it is who are the
men of understanding.
[39.19] What! as for him then
against whom the sentence of
chastisement is due: What! can you
save him who is in the fire?
[39.20] But (as for) those
who are careful of (their duty to)
their Lord, they shall have high
places, above them higher places,
built (for them), beneath which flow
rivers; (this is) the promise of
Allah: Allah will not fail in (His)
promise.
[39.21] Do you not see that
Allah sends down water from the
cloud, then makes it go along in the
earth in springs, then brings forth
therewith herbage of various colors,
then it withers so that you see it
becoming yellow, then He makes it a
thing crushed and broken into
pieces? Most surely there is a
reminder in this for the men of
understanding.
[39.22] What! is he whose
heart Allah has opened for Islam so
that he is in a light from his Lord
(like the hard-hearted)? Nay, woe to
those whose hearts are hard against
the remembrance of Allah; those are
in clear error.
[39.23] Allah has revealed
the best announcement, a book
conformable in its various parts,
repeating, whereat do shudder the
skins of those who fear their Lord,
then their skins and their hearts
become pliant to the remembrance of
Allah; this is Allah's guidance, He
guides with it whom He pleases; and
(as for) him whom Allah makes err,
there is no guide for him.
[39.24] Is he then who has to
guard himself with his own person
against the evil chastisement on the
resurrection day? And it will be
said to the unjust: Taste what you
earned.
[39.25] Those before them
rejected (prophets), therefore there
came to them the chastisement from
whence they perceived not.
[39.26] So Allah made them
taste the disgrace in this world's
life, and certainly the punishment
of the hereafter is greater; did
they but know!
[39.27] And certainly We have
set forth to men in this Quran
similitude's of every sort that they
may mind.
[39.28] An Arabic Quran
without any crookedness, that they
may guard (against evil).
[39.29] Allah sets forth an
example: There is a slave in whom
are (several) partners differing
with one another, and there is
another slave wholly owned by one
man. Are the two alike in condition?
(All) praise is due to Allah. Nay!
most of them do not know.
[39.30] Surely you shall die
and they (too) shall surely die.
[39.31] Then surely on the
day of resurrection you will contend
one with another before. your Lord.
[39.32] Who is then more
unjust than he who utters a lie
against Allah and (he who) gives the
lie to the truth when it comes to
him; is there not in hell an abode
for the unbelievers?
[39.33] And he who brings the
truth and (he who) accepts it as the
truth-- these are they that guard
(against evil).
[39.34] They shall have with
their Lord what they please; that is
the reward of the doers of good;
[39.35] So that Allah will do
away with the worst of what they did
and give them their reward for the
best of what they do.
[39.36] Is not Allah
sufficient for His servant? And they
seek to frighten you with those
besides Him; and whomsoever Allah
makes err, there is no guide for
him.
[39.37] And whom Allah
guides, there is none that can lead
him astray; is not Allah Mighty, the
Lord of retribution?
[39.38] And should you ask
them, Who created the heavens and
the earth? They would most certainly
say: Allah. Say: Have you then
considered that what you call upon
besides Allah, would they, if Allah
desire to afflict me with harm, be
the removers of His harm, or (would
they), if Allah desire to show me
mercy, be the withholders of His
mercy? Say: Allah is sufficient for
me; on Him do the reliant rely.
[39.39] Say: O my people!
work in your place, surely I am a
worker, so you will come to know.
[39.40] Who it is to whom
there shall come a punishment which
will disgrace him and to whom will
be due a lasting punishment.
[39.41] Surely We have
revealed to you the Book with the
truth for the sake of men; so
whoever follows the right way, it is
for his own soul and whoever errs,
he errs only to its detriment; and
you are not a custodian over them.
[39.42] Allah takes the souls
at the time of their death, and
those that die not during their
sleep; then He withholds those on
whom He has passed the decree of
death and sends the others back till
an appointed term; most surely there
are signs in this for a people who
reflect.
[39.43] Or have they taken
intercessors besides Allah? Say:
what! even though they did not ever
have control over anything, nor do
they understand.
[39.44] Say: Allah's is the
intercession altogether; His is the
kingdom of the heavens and the
earth, then to Him you shall be
brought back.
[39.45] And when Allah alone
is mentioned, the hearts of those
who do not believe in the hereafter
shrink, and when those besides Him
are mentioned, lo! they are joyful.
[39.46] Say: O Allah!
Originator of the heavens and the
earth, Knower of the unseen and the
seen! Thou (only) judges between Thy
servants as to that wherein they
differ.
[39.47] And had those who are
unjust all that is in the earth and
the like of it with it, they would
certainly offer it as ransom (to be
saved) from the evil of the
punishment on the day of
resurrection; and what they never
thought of shall become plain to
them from Allah.
[39.48] And the evil
(consequences) of what they wrought
shall become plain to them, and the
very thing they mocked at shall
beset them.
[39.49] So when harm afflicts
a man he calls upon Us; then, when
We give him a favor from Us, he
says: I have been given it only by
means of knowledge. Nay, it is a
trial, but most of them do not know.
[39.50] Those before them did
say it indeed, but what they earned
availed them not.
[39.51] So there befell them
the evil (consequences) of what they
earned; and (as for) those who are
unjust from among these, there shall
befall them the evil (consequences)
of what they earn, and they shall
not escape.
[39.52] Do they not know that
Allah makes ample the means of
subsistence to whom He pleases, and
He straitens; most surely there are
signs in this for a people who
believe.
[39.53] Say: O my servants!
who have acted extravagantly against
their own souls, do not despair of
the mercy of Allah; surely Allah
forgives the faults altogether;
surely He is the Forgiving the
Merciful.
[39.54] And return to your
Lord time after time and submit to
Him before there comes to you the
punishment, then you shall not be
helped.
[39.55] And follow the best
that has been revealed to you from
your Lord before there comes to you
the punishment all of a sudden while
you do not even perceive;
[39.56] Lest a soul should
say: O woe to me! for what I fell
short of my duty to Allah, and most
surely I was of those who laughed to
scorn;
[39.57] Or it should say: Had
Allah guided me, I would certainly
have been of those who guard
(against evil);
[39.58] Or it should say when
it sees the punishment: Were there
only a returning for me, I should be
of the doers of good.
[39.59] Aye! My
communications came to you, but you
rejected them, and you were proud
and you were one of the unbelievers.
[39.60] And on the day of
resurrection you shall see those who
lied against Allah; their faces
shall be blackened. Is there not in
hell an abode for the proud?
[39.61] And Allah shall
deliver those who guard (against
evil) with their achievement; evil
shall not touch them, nor shall they
grieve.
[39.62] Allah is the Creator
of every thing and He has charge
over every thing.
[39.63] His are the treasures
of the heavens and the earth; and
(as for) those who disbelieve in the
communications of Allah, these it is
that are the losers.
[39.64] Say: What! Do you
then bid me serve others than Allah,
O ignorant men?
[39.65] And certainly, it has
been revealed to you and to those
before you: Surely if you associate
(with Allah), your work would
certainly come to naught and you
would certainly be of the losers.
[39.66] Nay! but serve Allah
alone and be of the thankful.
[39.67] And they have not
honored Allah with the honor that is
due to Him; and the whole earth
shall be in His grip on the day of
resurrection and the heavens rolled
up in His right hand; glory be to
Him, and may He be exalted above
what they associate (with Him).
[39.68] And the trumpet shall
be blown, so all those that are in
the heavens and all those that are
in the earth shall swoon, except
such as Allah please; then it shall
be blown again, then lo! they shall
stand up awaiting.
[39.69] And the earth shall
beam with the light of its Lord, and
the Book shall be laid down, and the
prophets and the witnesses shall be
brought up, and judgment shall be
given between them with justice, and
they shall not be dealt with
unjustly.
[39.70] And every soul shall
be paid back fully what it has done,
and He knows best what they do.
[39.71] And those who
disbelieve shall be driven to hell
in companies; until, when they come
to it, its doors shall be opened,
and the keepers of it shall say to
them: Did not there come to you
apostles from among you reciting to
you the communications of your Lord
and warning you of the meeting of
this day of yours? They shall say:
Yea! But the sentence of punishment
was due against the unbelievers.
[39.72] It shall be said:
Enter the gates of hell to abide
therein; so evil is the abode of the
proud.
[39.73] And those who are
careful of (their duty to) their
Lord shall be conveyed to the garden
in companies; until when they come
to it, and its doors shall be
opened, and the keepers of it shall
say to them: Peace be on you, you
shall be happy; therefore enter it
to abide.
[39.74] And they shall say:
(All) praise is due to Allah, Who
has made good to us His promise, and
He has made us inherit the land; we
may abide in the garden where we
please; so goodly is the reward of
the workers.
[39.75] And you shall see the
angels going round about the throne
glorifying the praise of their Lord;
and judgment shall be given between
them with justice, and it shall be
said: All praise is due to Allah,
the Lord of the worlds. |
