The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[46.1] Ha Mim.
[46.2] The revelation of the
Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the
Wise.
[46.3] We did not create the
heavens and the earth and what is
between them two save with truth and
(for) an appointed term; and those
who disbelieve turn aside from what
they are warned of.
[46.4] Say: Have you
considered what you call upon
besides Allah? Show me what they
have created of the earth, or have
they a share in the heavens? Bring
me a book before this or traces of
knowledge, if you are truthful.
[46.5] And who is in greater
error than he who calls besides
Allah upon those that will not
answer him till the day of
resurrection and they are heedless
of their call?
[46.6] And when men are
gathered together they shall be
their enemies, and shall be deniers
of their worshipping (them).
[46.7] And when Our clear
communications are recited to them,
those who disbelieve say with regard
to the truth when it comes to them:
This is clear magic.
[46.8] Nay! they say: He has
forged it. Say: If I have forged it,
you do not control anything for me
from Allah; He knows best what you
utter concerning it; He is enough as
a witness between me and you, and He
is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
[46.9] Say: I am not the
first of the apostles, and I do not
know what will be done with me or
with you: I do not follow anything
but that which is revealed to me,
and I am nothing but a plain warner.
[46.10] Say: Have you
considered if it is from Allah, and
you disbelieve in it, and a witness
from among the children of Israel
has borne witness of one like it, so
he believed, while you are big with
pride; surely Allah does not guide
the unjust people.
[46.11] And those who
disbelieve say concerning those who
believe: If it had been a good, they
would not have gone ahead of us
therein. And as they do not seek to
be rightly directed thereby, they
say: It is an old lie.
[46.12] And before it the
Book of Musa was a guide and a
mercy: and this is a Book verifying
(it) in the Arabic language that it
may warn those who are unjust and as
good news for the doers of good.
[46.13] Surely those who say,
Our Lord is Allah, then they
continue on the right way, they
shall have no fear nor shall they
grieve.
[46.14] These are the
dwellers of the garden, abiding
therein: a reward for what they did.
[46.15] And We have enjoined
on man doing of good to his parents;
with trouble did his mother bear him
and with trouble did she bring him
forth; and the bearing of him and
the weaning of him was thirty
months; until when he attains his
maturity and reaches forty years, he
says: My Lord! grant me that I may
give thanks for Thy favor which Thou
hast bestowed on me and on my
parents, and that I may do good
which pleases Thee and do good to me
in respect of my offspring; surely I
turn to Thee, and surely I am of
those who submit.
[46.16] These are they from
whom We accept the best of what they
have done and pass over their evil
deeds, among the dwellers of the
garden; the promise of truth which
they were promised.
[46.17] And he who says to
his parents: Fie on you! do you
threaten me that I shall be brought
forth when generations have already
passed away before me? And they both
call for Allah's aid: Woe to you!
believe, surely the promise of Allah
is true. But he says: This is
nothing but stories of the ancients.
[46.18] These are they
against whom the word has proved
true among nations of the jinn and
the men that have already passed
away before them; surely they are
losers.
[46.19] And for all are
degrees according to what they did,
and that He may pay them back fully
their deeds and they shall not be
wronged.
[46.20] And on the day when
those who disbelieve shall be
brought before the fire: You did
away with your good things in your
life of the world and you enjoyed
them for a while, so today you shall
be rewarded with the punishment of
abasement because you were unjustly
proud in the land and because you
transgressed.
[46.21] And mention the
brother of Ad; when he warned his
people in the sandy plains,-- and
indeed warners came before him and
after him-- saying Serve none but
Allah; surely I fear for you the
punishment of a grievous day.
[46.22] They said: Have you
come to us to turn us away from our
gods; then bring us what you
threaten us with, if you are of the
truthful ones.
[46.23] He said: The
knowledge is only with Allah, and I
deliver to you the message with
which I am sent, but I see you are a
people who are ignorant.
[46.24] So when they saw it
as a cloud appearing in the sky
advancing towards their valleys,
they said: This is a cloud which
will give us rain. Nay! it is what
you sought to hasten on, a blast of
wind in which is a painful
punishment,
[46.25] Destroying everything
by the command of its Lord, so they
became such that naught could be
seen except their dwellings. Thus do
We reward the guilty people.
[46.26] And certainly We had
established them in what We have not
established you in, and We had
given-- them ears and eyes and
hearts, but neither their ears, nor
their eyes, nor their hearts availed
them aught, since they denied the
communications of Allah, and that
which they mocked encompassed them.
[46.27] And certainly We
destroyed the towns which are around
you, and We repeat the
communications that they might turn.
[46.28] Why did not then
those help them whom they took for
gods besides Allah to draw (them)
nigh (to Him)? Nay! they were lost
to them; and this was their lie and
what they forged.
[46.29] And when We turned
towards you a party of the jinn who
listened to the Quran; so when they
came to it, they said: Be silent;
then when it was finished, they
turned back to their people warning
(them).
[46.30] They said: O our
people! we have listened to a Book
revealed after Musa verifying that
which is before it, guiding to the
truth and to a right path:
[46.31] O our people! accept
the Divine caller and believe in
Him, He will forgive you of your
faults and protect you from a
painful punishment.
[46.32] And whoever does not
accept the-Divine caller, he shall
not escape in the earth and he shall
not have guardians besides Him,
these are in manifest error.
[46.33] Have they not
considered that Allah, Who created
the heavens and the earth and was
not tired by their creation, is able
to give life to the dead? Aye! He
has surely power over all things.
[46.34] And on the day when
those who disbelieve shall be
brought before the fire: Is it not
true? They shall say: Aye! by our
Lord! He will say: Then taste the
punishment, because you disbelieved.
[46.35] Therefore bear up
patiently as did the apostles
endowed with constancy bear up with
patience and do not seek to hasten
for them (their doom). On the day
that they shall see what they are
promised they shall be as if they
had not tarried save an hour of the
day. A sufficient exposition! Shall
then any be destroyed save the
transgressing people? |
