The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[42.1] Ha Mim.
[42.2] Ain Sin Qaf.
[42.3] Thus does Allah, the
Mighty, the Wise, reveal to you, and
(thus He revealed) to those before
you.
[42.4] His is what is in the
heavens and what is in the earth,
and He is the High, the Great.
[42.5] The heavens may almost
rend asunder from above them and the
angels sing the praise of their Lord
and ask forgiveness for those on
earth; now surely Allah is the
Forgiving, the Merciful.
[42.6] And (as for) those who
take guardians besides Him, Allah
watches over them, and you have not
charge over them.
[42.7] And thus have We
revealed to you an Arabic Quran,
that you may warn the mother city
and those around it, and that you
may give warning of the day of
gathering together wherein is no
doubt; a party shall be in the
garden and (another) party in the
burning fire.
[42.8] And if Allah had
pleased He would surely have made
them a single community, but He
makes whom He pleases enter into His
mercy, and the unjust it is that
shall have no guardian or helper.
[42.9] Or have they taken
guardians besides Him? But Allah is
the Guardian, and He gives life to
the dead, and He has power over all
things.
[42.10] And in whatever thing
you disagree, the judgment thereof
is (in) Allah's (hand); that is
Allah, my Lord, on Him do I rely and
to Him do I turn time after time.
[42.11] The Originator of the
heavens and the earth; He made mates
for you from among yourselves, and
mates of the cattle too, multiplying
you thereby; nothing like a likeness
of Him; and He is the Hearing, the
Seeing.
[42.12] His are the treasures
of the heavens and the earth; He
makes ample and straitens the means
of subsistence for whom He pleases;
surely He is Cognizant of all
things.
[42.13] He has made plain to
you of the religion what He enjoined
upon Nuh and that which We have
revealed to you and that which We
enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and
Isa that keep to obedience and be
not divided therein; hard to the
unbelievers is that which you call
them to; Allah chooses for Himself
whom He pleases, and guides to
Himself him who turns (to Him),
frequently.
[42.14] And they did not
become divided until after knowledge
had come to them out of envy among
themselves; and had not a word gone
forth from your Lord till an
appointed term, certainly judgment
would have been given between them;
and those who were made to inherit
the Book after them are most surely
in disquieting doubt concerning it.
[42.15] To this then go on
inviting, and go on steadfastly on
the right way as you are commanded,
and do not follow their low desires,
and say: I believe in what Allah has
revealed of the Book, and I am
commanded to do justice between you:
Allah is our Lord and your Lord; we
shall have our deeds and you shall
have your deeds; no plea need there
be (now) between us and you: Allah
will gather us together, and to Him
is the return.
[42.16] And (as for) those
who dispute about Allah after that
obedience has been rendered to Him,
their plea is null with their Lord,
and upon them is wrath, and for them
is severe punishment.
[42.17] Allah it is Who
revealed the Book with truth, and
the balance, and what shall make you
know that haply the hour be nigh?
[42.18] Those who do not
believe in it would hasten it on,
and those who believe are in fear
from it, and they know that it is
the truth. Now most surely those who
dispute obstinately concerning the
hour are in a great error.
[42.19] Allah is Benignant to
His servants; He gives sustenance to
whom He pleases, and He is the
Strong, the Mighty.
[42.20] Whoever desires the
gain of the hereafter, We will give
him more of that again; and whoever
desires-- the gain of this world, We
give him of it, and in the hereafter
he has no portion.
[42.21] Or have they
associates who have prescribed for
them any religion that Allah does
not sanction? And were it not for
the word of judgment, decision would
have certainly been given between
them; and surely the unjust shall
have a painful punishment.
[42.22] You will see the
unjust fearing on account of what
they have earned, and it must befall
them; and those who believe and do
good shall be in the meadows of the
gardens; they shall have what they
please with their Lord: that is the
great grace.
[42.23] That is of which
Allah gives the good news to His
servants, (to) those who believe and
do good deeds. Say: I do not ask of
you any reward for it but love for
my near relatives; and whoever earns
good, We give him more of good
therein; surely Allah is Forgiving,
Grateful.
[42.24] Or do they say: He
has forged a lie against Allah? But
if Allah pleased, He would seal your
heart; and Allah will blot out the
falsehood and confirm the truth with
His words; surely He is Cognizant of
what is in the breasts.
[42.25] And He it is Who
accepts repentance from His servants
and pardons the evil deeds and He
knows what you do;
[42.26] And He answers those
who believe and do good deeds, and
gives them more out of His grace;
and (as for) the unbelievers, they
shall have a severe punishment.
[42.27] And if Allah should
amplify the provision for His
servants they would certainly revolt
in the earth; but He sends it down
according to a measure as He
pleases; surely He is Aware of,
Seeing, His servants.
[42.28] And He it is Who
sends down the rain after they have
despaired, and He unfolds His mercy;
and He is the Guardian, the Praised
One.
[42.29] And one of His signs
is the creation of the heavens and
the earth and what He has spread
forth in both of them of living
beings; and when He pleases He is
all-powerful to gather them
together.
[42.30] And whatever
affliction befalls you, it is on
account of what your hands have
wrought, and (yet) He pardons most
(of your faults).
[42.31] And you cannot escape
in the earth, and you shall not have
a guardian or a helper besides
Allah.
[42.32] And among His signs
are the ships in the sea like
mountains.
[42.33] If He pleases, He
causes the wind to become still so
that they lie motionless on its
back; most surely there are signs in
this for every patient, grateful
one,
[42.34] Or He may make them
founder for what they have earned,
and (even then) pardon most;
[42.35] And (that) those who
dispute about Our communications may
know; there is no place of refuge
for them.
[42.36] So whatever thing you
are given, that is only a provision
of this world's life, and what is
with Allah is better and more
lasting for those who believe and
rely on their Lord.
[42.37] And those who. shun
the great sins and indecencies, and
whenever they are angry they
forgive.
[42.38] And those who respond
to their Lord and keep up prayer,
and their rule is to take counsel
among themselves, and who spend out
of what We have given them.
[42.39] And those who, when
great wrong afflicts them, defend
themselves.
[42.40] And the recompense of
evil is punishment like it, but
whoever forgives and amends, he
shall have his reward from Allah;
surely He does not love the unjust.
[42.41] And whoever defends
himself after his being oppressed,
these it is against whom there is no
way (to blame).
[42.42] The way (to blame) is
only against those who oppress men
and revolt in the earth unjustly;
these shall have a painful
punishment.
[42.43] And whoever is
patient and forgiving, these most
surely are actions due to courage.
[42.44] And whomsoever Allah
makes err, he has no guardian after
Him; and you shall see the unjust,
when they see the punishment,
saying: Is there any way to return?
[42.45] And you shall see
them brought before it humbling
themselves because of the
abasements, looking with a faint
glance. And those who believe shall
say: Surely the losers are they who
have lost themselves and their
followers on the resurrection day.
Now surely the iniquitous shall
remain in lasting chastisement.
[42.46] And they shall have
no friends to help them besides
Allah; and-- whomsoever Allah makes
err, he shall have no way.
[42.47] Hearken to your Lord
before there comes the day from
Allah for which there shall be no
averting; you shall have no refuge
on that day, nor shall it be yours
to make a denial.
[42.48] But if they turn
aside, We have not sent you as a
watcher over them; on you is only to
deliver (the message); and surely
when We make man taste mercy from
Us, he rejoices thereat; and if an
evil afflicts them on account of
what their hands have already done,
then-surely man is ungrateful.
[42.49] Allah's is the
kingdom of the heavens and the
earth; He creates what He pleases;
He grants to whom He pleases
daughters and grants to whom He
pleases sons.
[42.5O] Or He makes them of
both sorts, male and female; and He
makes whom He pleases barren; surely
He is the Knowing, the Powerful.
[42.51] And it is not for any
mortal that Allah should speak to
them, they could not bear to hear
and they did not see.
[42.52] And thus did We
reveal to you an inspired book by
Our command. You did not know what
the Book was, nor (what) the faith
(was), but We made it a light,
guiding thereby whom We please of
Our servants; and most surely you
show the way to the right path:
[42.53] The path of Allah,
Whose is whatsoever is in the
heavens and whatsoever is in the
earth; now surely to Allah do all
affairs eventually come. |
