00:01al-anam the cattle with the name of allah the most gracious the ever merciful all type of perfect and
00:11true praise belongs to allah who created the heavens and the earth and brought into being all kinds of darkness
00:18and the light
00:19yet in spite of this those who disbelieve ascribe equals to their Lord it is he who created you from
00:27clay then he determined a term of this life and there is yet another term of the life of the
00:35hereafter stated with him still you dispute being doubtful about the resurrection
00:43and he is allah who alone exercises every authority in the heavens and in the earth he knows you inside
00:52and outside and he knows what you accomplish by way of your deeds good or bad
00:59and as for the people there comes to them no message of the messages of their Lord but they turn
01:05away from it so they have already cried lies to this perfect truth
01:11when it came to them but soon there shall come to them the news of the fulfillment of the prophecies
01:18that they have been taking very lightly
01:22have these people not considered how many generations we destroyed before them to whom we had given so firmly hold
01:30and power on the earth such a firm hold as we have not given you and we sent clouds over
01:37them
01:37pouring down abundant rain and we caused rivers to flow subject to their command and control
01:45yet we destroyed them owing to their sins and raised other generations after them
01:52and if we had sent down to you a book written on parchment and they had touched it with their
01:59own hands
01:59even then those who have disbelieved would have invariably said this is nothing but a fascinating device to cut off
02:08from the people
02:10and they said if the prophet is true and sincere in his claim why has not an angel been sent
02:17down to him
02:19but if we had sent down an angel the matter would have been decided then they would not have been
02:25respited
02:26and had we appointed him from among the angels we would surely have made him appear as a man
02:33and even in that case we would have obscured that which they are themselves obscuring now
02:41o muhammad certainly messengers have been treated scornfully before you
02:46but that prophecy of the ultimate success of the messenger which they held in scorn recoiled on them who had
02:53held the prophecy in scorn
02:57say go about in the land and see how evil was the end of those who treated the prophets as
03:02liars
03:03ask them to whom belongs all that lies in the heavens and in the earth
03:09then since they will not be able to answer say it belongs to Allah
03:14he has taken upon himself the rule of mercy
03:17so he does not take the sinners to task immediately
03:21he will continue to assemble you together till the day of resurrection
03:26there is no doubt in it
03:29yet those who have lost their souls will not believe
03:34to him belongs whatever exists in the darkness of the night
03:37and whatever dwells in the light of the day
03:40and he is the all-hearing the all-knowing
03:45say
03:46shall i take to myself a patron other than Allah
03:49the originator of the heavens and the earth
03:52it is he who feeds but is fed by none
03:56say
03:58i have surely been commanded
04:00that i be the first of those who submit to God
04:04it has been said to them
04:05be not of those who associate partners with Allah
04:09say
04:11if i disobey my lord
04:13i fear the punishment of the dreadful day
04:17he from whomsoever this punishment is averted on that day
04:21God indeed has mercy on him
04:23an obvious achievement is that
04:27if Allah afflicts you with some harm
04:29then no one can remove it but he
04:32but if he bestows upon you a favor
04:35remember that he is the possessor of every power to do all that he will
04:41and he is the all-dominant
04:43over his servants
04:45and he is the all-wise
04:47the all-aware
04:50ask
04:51who is the best witness in respect of bearing testimony
04:54say
04:55it is Allah
04:58he is witness between me and you
05:00and this Quran has been revealed to me
05:03so that i may thereby warn you
05:05and all those whom it may reach
05:06against the evil consequences of disbelief and misdeeds
05:11what do you say
05:12do you in fact bear witness
05:14that there are other gods besides Allah
05:16say
05:18i do not bear witness thereto
05:21say
05:21moreover
05:22the fact is that he is the one and only God
05:25and surely i am sick and quit of those whom you associate with him
05:31those whom we have given this perfect book recognize him as they recognize their own sons
05:37yet
05:38those who have lost their souls will not believe
05:43who is more unjust than he who forges a lie in the name of Allah
05:48or who cries lies to his messages
05:50verily such wrongdoers will never attain the goal
05:55beware of the day
05:57when we shall gather them all together
05:59then we shall say to those who associate partners with us
06:03where are now your associate gods
06:06about whom you used to assert as gods
06:10on that day
06:12they would have no excuse
06:14but that they would say
06:16by Allah our Lord we were never polytheists
06:20look how they lie against themselves
06:23and those associate gods which they used to forge
06:26shall fail them
06:28some of these disbelievers pretend to listen to you
06:31but we have put veils over their hearts
06:34due to their own hard heartedness
06:36that they do not understand
06:38and there is heaviness in their ears to listen to the truth
06:42even if they see every sign of ours
06:45they would not believe therein
06:47their hard heartedness has reached such an extent
06:50that when they come to you
06:52they dispute with you
06:54those who disbelieve say
06:56this Qur'an is nothing but fables of the ancients
07:00they deter others from believing in this Qur'an
07:03and themselves too
07:05keep away from it
07:06yet it is their own ruin
07:08that they bring about by such things
07:10only they do not perceive
07:13could you but see them
07:15when they are made to stand before the fire
07:19they will say then
07:21oh would that we could be sent back
07:23to have a chance to mend our ways
07:25then we would not cry lies
07:28to the revelations of our Lord
07:29and would be of the believers
07:32nay
07:33it is only that this
07:35which they had been hiding before
07:37must have now become obvious to them
07:40yet even though
07:41if they were sent back
07:43they would again return to that
07:45which they were prohibited from
07:46they are most certainly liars
07:51and they say
07:52there is no life beyond this our present life
07:56and we shall never be raised again
07:59and could you but see when they are made to stand
08:02before their Lord
08:03he will say
08:04is not this resurrection true
08:07they shall say
08:08yes indeed by our Lord it is
08:12he will say
08:13suffer then the punishment as a result of your disbelief
08:18those who cried lies to the news of meeting Allah
08:21have indeed suffered a loss
08:25until the hour of resurrection overtakes them unaware
08:29they will then say
08:31woe to us for our neglecting it
08:33and they shall be bearing the burdens of their sins on their backs
08:37behold
08:39how evil is the burden that they shall bear
08:43the life of this world is naught
08:46but a futile and frivolous thing
08:48causing diversion from God
08:50and certainly
08:51the last abode is the best for those who guard against evil
08:56have you no sense
08:59we know full well that what they say
09:02by way of denying our messages
09:04grieves you
09:06yet surely it is not you that they cry lies to
09:09but it is the messages of Allah that these wrongdoers are deliberately rejecting
09:15indeed
09:16messengers have already been cried lies to even before you
09:21but they patiently persevered
09:24in spite of their having been rejected and persecuted
09:27till our help came to them
09:29none can alter the decrees of Allah
09:32there has already come to you
09:35some of the news of the messengers gone before
09:39if their turning away in aversion is hard on you to bear
09:43then you may if you can
09:45seek a tunnel into the earth
09:47or a ladder into the heaven
09:49and then bring them some sign to bring all to guidance
09:54but if Allah had
09:55willed he could
09:57surely have brought them all together
09:59by force to the guidance
10:01so do not be of those who lack
10:03knowledge
10:06only those who listen respond
10:08to the truth and as for the
10:09spiritually dead Allah
10:11will raise them to life after
10:13their being buried in graves
10:15they shall then be made to return
10:17to him
10:19and they say
10:20why has not a sign
10:22been revealed to him by his Lord
10:25say
10:26surely Allah has power
10:28and is a praiser as to how and when
10:31to send down a sign
10:33but most of them know it not
10:36there is no terrestrial creature that crawls in the earth
10:39nor a bird that flies in the air with its two wings
10:43but they are creatures like you
10:45all subject to the divine laws
10:48we have
10:49neglected nothing in our
10:51this perfect book of law
10:53then to their Lord shall they all be gathered
10:57and those who cry lies to our signs are deaf and dumb
11:01groping in utter darkness
11:04Allah allows to perish
11:06whom he will
11:07and whom he will he sets
11:09on the right and exact path
11:12say
11:13do you ever consider
11:15if the punishment of Allah comes upon you
11:17or the promised hour overtakes you
11:20will you then call upon any God other than Allah
11:24if what you say be true
11:26nay
11:27but you will call upon him alone
11:29then he will if he please
11:31relieve you of that distress
11:33for the removal of which you called upon him
11:36and you will abandon those false gods
11:38which you associate with him
11:42we have already sent messengers towards the communities before you
11:46then on their rejecting the messengers we afflicted them with destitution calamities
11:52and adversities so that they might become humble before us
11:57why did they not then when our punishment overtook them grow humble
12:02it was for the fact that their hearts had hardened
12:05and Satan had made their deeds seem fair to them
12:10then when they abandoned that whereof they had been reminded
12:14we opened to them the gates of everything
12:18until when they began to boast over what they were given
12:21we seized them unawares
12:24then behold
12:25they were in sore despair
12:27of all good
12:29in this way
12:31the last remnants of these people who had acted wrongfully
12:34were completely rooted out
12:35so it proved that all perfect and true praise belongs to Allah
12:40the Lord of all the worlds
12:43say
12:43have you ever considered
12:46if Allah were to take away your hearing and your sight
12:49and set a seal upon your hearts
12:51what God other than Allah
12:53can restore these boons to you
12:56see how we expound multiple arguments in diverse ways
13:00yet they turn away thereafter
13:04say
13:04did you ever consider
13:07if Allah's punishment were to overtake you unaware
13:10or after manifest warnings
13:13would any be destroyed
13:15except the wrongdoing people
13:16and we send not the messengers but as bearers of good tidings
13:22and as warners
13:24then whosoever believes
13:26and mends his ways
13:28will have no cause of fear
13:30nor shall they grieve
13:32but those who cry lies to our messages
13:35shall be punished because of their disobedience
13:38say
13:39I do not say to you that with me are the treasures of Allah
13:43nor do I know the unseen
13:45and I do not say to you that I am an angel
13:48I indeed follow only what is revealed to me
13:52say
13:53can a blind person
13:55and one gifted with sight be alike
13:58will you not even then give thought
14:03so warn by means of this Quran
14:05those who fear
14:06that they shall be gathered to their Lord
14:09besides whom they have neither a protector nor an intercessor
14:12so warn them that they may guard against evil
14:15and do not drive away those who call upon their Lord
14:20morning and evening seeking his pleasure
14:22no responsibility lies on you on their account
14:26and no responsibility whatsoever lies on them on your account
14:30that you should drive them away
14:32in case you do it
14:34you would be counted as the unjust
14:37in this way have we made a distinction in some of them from the other
14:41with the result that they say
14:43are these the ones whom Allah has favored by choosing them from among us
14:48does not Allah know best the grateful
14:52when those who believe in our messages come to you
14:55say peace be upon you
14:57your Lord has taken upon himself the rule of mercy
15:01so that whoso from among you commits evil through lack of knowledge
15:05then turns for mercy towards his Lord thereafter
15:08and mends his ways
15:11then his Lord forgives him
15:13because he is great protector
15:15ever merciful
15:17that is how we expound our arguments
15:20that you may seek Allah's mercy
15:21and that the ways of those who cut their ties with God may be exposed
15:27say I am strictly forbidden to worship those false gods whom you call upon besides Allah
15:34say I do not follow your caprices
15:37in that case I would have certainly become lost
15:41and I would not have been of the guided ones
15:46say surely I take my stand upon clear guidance from my Lord
15:50while you have cried lies to it
15:52I have no power over that punishment
15:55which you seek to hasten before its fixed time
15:58the judgment rest with none but Allah
16:01he declares the true judgment
16:03and he is the best of deciders as to whom
16:06when and how to punish
16:09say
16:10if I had power over that which you seek to hasten before its appointed time
16:15the matter would have been decided between you and me
16:18and Allah knows best the unjust
16:21and he also knows when to punish them
16:24all the treasures of the unseen lie at his disposal
16:28no one knows them but he
16:31he knows whatsoever is in the land and in the sea
16:35there falls not a single leaf but he knows it
16:38nor is there a grain in the dark beds of the earth
16:41nor anything fresh or dry
16:43but all is recorded in a clear book
16:47it is he who takes your soul by night
16:50and he knows what you have done by day
16:52yet he raises you up therein
16:55that the term stated for your life may be completed
16:59then to him is your return
17:01then he will inform you plainly about your deeds
17:06and he is the all-dominant over his servants
17:09and he goes on sending guardians to watch over you
17:12when death comes to one of you
17:15our messengers the angels take away his soul
17:18they neglect their duty in no way
17:22then they shall all be made to return to Allah
17:25their master and only true one
17:28surely his is the judgment
17:30he is the swiftest of the reckoners
17:34say who delivers you from the horrors of the land and the sea
17:38when you call upon him in humility
17:40and in open supplication saying
17:43if he delivers us from this hardship
17:45we shall ever be grateful to him
17:49say it is Allah who delivers you from these horrors
17:52and from every calamity
17:54still you associate partners with him
17:59say
17:59he has power to send upon you a calamity from above
18:03and from beneath your feet
18:05or he may throw you into confusion
18:07by making you confront with conflicting parties
18:10and make you taste the dissension and violence of one another
18:14behold
18:15how we explain our messages in different ways
18:18so that they may give thought
18:21your people have cried lies to this Quran
18:24though it is the truth
18:25say
18:26I am not responsible for your affairs
18:30for the fulfillment of every prophecy
18:33there is an appointed time
18:34and it will not go beyond that
18:37and soon you will come to know its truth
18:41and when you see those who engage in vain discourse about our messages
18:45turn away from them until they engage in a topic other than that
18:49and if Satan should make you forget this advice
18:52then sit no more after its recollection with such wrongdoers
18:57those who guard against evil are not in the least accountable for these evil doers
19:02they are only to admonish them
19:05so that they may too be guarded against evil
19:09and leave alone those who take their religion as a futile and frivolous thing
19:13causing diversion from Allah
19:16present life has beguiled them
19:18therefore go on admonishing such people by means of this Quran
19:22lest a soul should be consigned to perdition because of its misdeeds
19:27there is no patron for it apart from Allah
19:31nor intercessor
19:32and even if it may offer every compensation
19:35it will not be accepted from it
19:37it is these who are destroyed for what they accomplished
19:40there awaits them a drink of boiling water
19:44and a grievous punishment because they disbelieved
19:48say
19:49shall we call besides Allah upon that which can neither profit us nor harm us by itself
19:55and shall we be turned back on our heels and led astray
19:59after Allah has guided us
20:02like one whom the evil ones have made to follow his caprices
20:06leaving him utterly bewildered in the land
20:09whilst he has companions who call him to the guidance of Allah saying
20:14come to us
20:16say verily Allah's guidance is the only perfect guidance
20:19and we are commanded by him to submit to the Lord of all the worlds
20:25and we are also commanded by him
20:27observe prayer and take him as a shield
20:32and it is he to whom you shall all be gathered
20:36it is he who has created the heavens and the earth
20:39to suit the requirements of truth and wisdom
20:41the day he says be
20:44it shall come to be
20:46his word is bound to be carried out
20:50to him belongs the sovereignty on the day when the trumpet shall be blown
20:56he is the knower of all the hidden realities and the scene
21:00and he is the all wise
21:03all aware
21:06recall the time when Abraham said to his sire Azar
21:09do you worship idols as gods
21:13surely I see you and your people steeped in clear error
21:19thus for his pure and noble nature
21:22we have been showing Abraham the sole kingdom of ours
21:25of the heavens and the earth
21:27to grant him an insight into the divine laws of nature
21:30and we did it that he might be of those who are firmly convinced
21:36then after being convinced of our unity once on the occasion of a debate on the topic
21:42when the night darkened over him
21:44he saw a planet
21:47he said on seeing it to the idol worshippers
21:50is this my Lord as you assert
21:53but when it set he said
21:55I do not love the setting ones to accept as my God
22:01then when he saw the moon rise
22:03with spreading light
22:04he said to the people
22:06is this my Lord as you assert
22:10but when it set he said
22:12had my Lord not guided me aright
22:14I would have invariably
22:17been of the people who have gone astray
22:21and when he saw the sun rise
22:23with spreading light
22:24he said to them
22:25is this my Lord as you assert
22:28as this is the biggest
22:30but when it also set he said
22:33O my people
22:34I am surely sick of that which you associate with him
22:39surely I have turned myself with devotion
22:42and in a most upright manner
22:44to him who originated the heavens and the earth
22:47I have never been of the polytheist
22:51his people tried to overpower him in argument
22:54he said
22:55do you argue with me regarding Allah
22:58when he himself has already guided me aright
23:01and I fear not in any way
23:04the things you worship besides him
23:06unless it is my Lord who wills some harm to me
23:10it is a different thing
23:12my Lord comprehends all things in his knowledge
23:15will you not even then take admonition
23:19how and why should I fear the things
23:21that you associate with him
23:22while you are not afraid
23:24that you have associated those things with Allah
23:27for the worship of which he has given you no authority
23:31which of the two parties then
23:33of the monotheist and the polytheist
23:35is better entitled to security and salvation
23:38if you truly know
23:40it is only those who believe
23:42and have not polluted their faith
23:44with associating partners with Allah
23:46to whom belongs peace and salvation
23:49it is these alone who are rightly guided
23:53that was our argument with which we equipped Abraham
23:57against his people
23:59we raise in degrees of rank whom we will
24:02verily your Lord is all wise
24:05all knowing
24:07and we granted him Isaac and Jacob
24:11each one we guided aright
24:13and Noah did we guide before
24:16and of his descendants
24:18we guided David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron
24:25in this way do we reward the performers of good to others
24:31and we guided Zachariah, John, Jesus and Elias
24:37every one of them was of the righteous
24:40and we also guided Ismael and Elisha
24:44and Jonah and Lot
24:46and every one did we exalt above their people
24:51and we exalted men from among their fathers
24:54and their descendants and their brethren
24:56we chose them
24:58and we guided them along the exact right path
25:03that is the guidance of Allah
25:05he guides by it such of his servants as he will
25:09but if they had associated partners
25:13surely all their deeds would have gone in vain
25:17it is these messengers to whom we gave the scripture
25:20the decisive authority and the prophethood
25:24but if these, the so called preservers of the book
25:27reject these blissful things
25:30the book, the authority and the prophecy
25:33it matters little
25:34for we have now entrusted them to a people
25:37who are not at all ungrateful for these blessings
25:41it is these whom Allah has guided
25:45so follow their guidance
25:47say, I ask you no reward for bringing this guidance
25:51this is not but a reminder for all the worlds
25:56they, the deniers, have not appreciated Allah
25:59with the true honor due to him when they said
26:03Allah has not revealed anything to any human being
26:06say, who had revealed the scripture which Moses brought
26:11a light and guidance for the people
26:13though you render it as scraps of paper
26:16some of which you show while the major portion you hide
26:20whereas you have been taught through that which you did not know
26:24neither you nor your forefathers
26:27say, Allah revealed it
26:31then leave them amusing themselves in their vain discourse
26:35and similar to the Torah is this splendid book
26:39which we have revealed
26:40full of blessings
26:42completing in a comprehensive form
26:44all the divine messages which were sent before it
26:47and is revealed
26:48that you may warn the people of this center of cities
26:51the Meccans
26:52and the people of the places all around it
26:55the people of the whole world
26:58and those who believe in the hereafter
27:00believe also in this Qur'an
27:02and they are most careful about performing their prayer
27:06who is more unjust than the person who fabricates a lie
27:11in the name of Allah
27:12deliberately or says
27:14a revelation has been sent to me
27:17while nothing has been revealed to him
27:20and the person who says
27:22I will also bring down the like of what Allah has sent down
27:28could you but see the wrongdoers
27:30when they are in the agonies of death
27:32and when the angels would lay down their hands on them
27:36saying give up your souls
27:39this day you shall be given a disgraceful punishment
27:42on account of that falsehood
27:44which you uttered regarding Allah wrongfully
27:47and because you disdained his revelations
27:51God will say on that day
27:53how is it that you have come to us all alone
27:56as we created you in the first instance
27:58and you have left that which we put in your charge
28:01in the world behind yourselves
28:03and we do not see with you your intercessors
28:05whom you falsely asserted
28:07that they were our partisans
28:09in the disposal of matters relating to you
28:13indeed the ties between you and your false deities
28:16are now cut off
28:18and the things you falsely asserted to be gods
28:21have failed you
28:25verily it is Allah who splits the seed grains
28:28and fruit stones
28:30he brings forth the living out of the lifeless
28:33and he brings forth the lifeless out of the living
28:37such is Allah
28:39wherefore then are you turned back
28:43he is the cleaver of the daybreak
28:46and he has made the night for rest
28:48and the sun and the moon for reckoning of time
28:52that is the decree of the almighty
28:55the all-knowing
28:58it is he who has made the stars for you
29:00that you may follow the right course with their help in the darkness of the land and the sea
29:07we have certainly explained our commandments in detail for a people who would know
29:12it is he who has evolved you from one living entity
29:16then he provided for you a permanent abode
29:19from the grave to the final abode of bliss
29:23and a temporary lodging from the loins of the father to the grave
29:29verily we have explained our signs in detail for a people who would understand
29:35it is we who pour down water from the clouds
29:38and then we bring forth every kind of vegetation
29:42then we bring forth therefrom green foliage
29:46from which we produce clustered grain
29:49and we bring forth from the date palm
29:52out of its spades bunches of dates hanging low
29:56and we bring forth gardens of vines and olives and pomegranate
30:02similar in kind yet dissimilar from one another in variety
30:07look at them when they bear fruit
30:09and look also how they ripen
30:12verily in all this there are signs for a people who would believe
30:18yet they ascribe to allah as his associates the jinns
30:23although he has created them also
30:27and they falsely ascribe to him sons and daughters without any knowledge
30:32glory be to him
30:34and he is far beyond and above all the things that they attribute to him
30:40he is wonderful and primary originator of the heavens and the earth
30:45how and whence can there be a son for him
30:49when he has no consort
30:52he has created all things
30:55and he has perfect knowledge of everything
30:58such is Allah your Lord
31:01there is no other
31:03cannot be and will never be one worthy of worship but he
31:07the creator of all things
31:10therefore worship him
31:12for he is the disposer of all affairs
31:17the physical vision comprehends him not
31:20but he comprehends all visions
31:23he is the all subtle being incomprehensible and imperceptible
31:28the all aware
31:30say
31:32there has already come to you enlightenment
31:35and clear proofs from your Lord
31:38then whosoever sees clearly and is enlightened
31:41it is for his own good
31:43and whosoever chooses to remain blind
31:47it is to his own loss
31:49I am not a guardian over you
31:53thus do we explain our revelations in diverse ways
31:57that they the disbelievers will say to the prophet
32:01you have learnt well
32:03and diligently from previous scripture
32:06but we vary the revelations that it may be a clear explanation from us to the people who have knowledge
32:14follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord
32:17there is no other
32:19cannot be and will never be one worthy of worship but he
32:23and turn away from the polytheist
32:27if Allah had enforced his will
32:29they would not have associated partners with him
32:33and we have not made you a guardian over them
32:36nor are you a disposer of their affairs
32:40do not revile those whom they call upon besides Allah
32:44lest they should revile Allah transgressingly and through lack of knowledge
32:50just as we made their deeds fair seeming to them
32:53so have we made to each people fair seeming what they do
32:58then to their Lord is their return
33:00so he will inform them as to what they have been doing
33:04and they swear by Allah
33:06their most solemn oaths
33:09that if there comes to them a particular sign
33:11they would invariably believe in it
33:15say
33:16not to speak of a single sign
33:19there are indeed many signs with Allah
33:21but what is there to assure you
33:24that when that sign comes
33:26even then
33:27they will not believe
33:29we shall confound their hearts and their eyes
33:33since they did not believe in it
33:34in the first instance
33:36and we shall leave them alone
33:38wandering blindly in their transgression
33:43even if we should send down the angels to them
33:46and the dead shall speak to them
33:48and even if we should bring all things together face to face to them
33:52they would not believe unless Allah had enforced his will
33:56the thing is that most of them persist in ignorance
34:01and in the same manner have we made the evil ones from among ordinary human beings and the jinns
34:07enemies to every prophet
34:10some of them suggest one to another
34:13gilded speech to beguile them
34:15had your lord enforced his will
34:17they would not have done so
34:20so leave them alone with what they forge
34:24and the result of their so doing
34:26is that the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter
34:30are inclined to it
34:32and they take pleasure therein
34:34and they continue committing their evil deeds as they are doing
34:39say
34:40what
34:40shall I seek for a judge to decide between us
34:44other than Allah
34:45when it is he who has revealed to you this perfect book clearly explained
34:51and those to whom we have given this book
34:54know that it is revealed by your lord with all the requirements of truth and wisdom
34:58so be not of the disputers
35:02the prophetic word of your lord is bound to be fulfilled in truth and justice
35:08there is no one who can change his words
35:11he is the all-hearing the all-knowing
35:15should you obey the majority of those on earth
35:19they would lead you astray from allah's way
35:21they follow nothing but mere surmise
35:25and they do nothing but make conjectures
35:29surely he your lord knows the best who goes astray from his way
35:34as he knows the best the rightly guided
35:38so do not follow those who go astray
35:41and eat of that over which the name of Allah has been pronounced
35:45if you are indeed believers in his messages
35:49what reason have you that you do not eat of that over which Allah's name has been pronounced
35:55whilst he has already explained to you the things he has forbidden to you
36:00accepting that which you are constrained to eat out of necessity
36:04and surely
36:05many mislead others by following their own fancies due to lack of knowledge
36:11verily your lord knows best these transgressors
36:15refrain from sin in form and in spirit
36:19verily those who commit sins deliberately
36:22shall be repaid according to the deeds committed by them
36:26and do not eat of that on which Allah's name has not been pronounced
36:31for it is the sure product of disobedience
36:35certainly the evil ones suggest their friends to dispute with you
36:39and if you obey them
36:40you shall invariably become polytheists
36:45can he who was lifeless before
36:47and to whom we gave life
36:49and we provided for him a light
36:51whereby he moves about among the people
36:54be like the person whose condition
36:56is as one consigned to thick darkness
36:59from whence he cannot emerge
37:02thus the deeds of the disbelievers are made fair seeming to them
37:08similarly
37:08have we made the leaders in every town the guilty ones
37:12with the result that they intrigue therein
37:16but little do they understand that
37:19as a matter of fact
37:20they intrigue only against themselves
37:24and when there comes to them a divine message they say
37:28we will never believe
37:30unless we ourselves are given the like of what has been given to the messengers of Allah
37:36Allah knows best whom to entrust his messengership
37:40surely humiliation and severe and disgraceful punishment from Allah shall befall those who cut off their ties with him
37:48because of their intrigues against our prophets
37:53but as to whom Allah intends to guide
37:55he opens his bosom to Islam
37:58and as to him who he allows to go astray
38:01he makes his bosom close and constricted
38:04so that he feels as though he were climbing up to the heights
38:08just as Allah does this
38:10he lays ignominy on those who do not believe
38:14and this path is an exact right path leading to your Lord
38:19we have indeed explained the messages of truth in detail for a people who would accept admonition
38:27there awaits with their Lord
38:29an abode of peace
38:31and he is their patron because of their righteous deeds
38:36beware of the day
38:38when he will gather them all together and say
38:41O multitude of jinn
38:43you made a great many of the ordinary people subservient to yourselves in disobedience
38:50and their votaries from the people will say
38:52our Lord some of us benefited one from another
38:56but at last we have reached the end of the appointed term which you determined for us
39:01he will then say
39:03the fire is your lodging
39:06therein to abide unless Allah wills otherwise
39:10verily your Lord is all wise
39:13all knowing
39:15in the like manner do we let some of the unjust have power
39:19one over another because of their wrongful deeds
39:24O multitude of jinn and ordinary peoples
39:28did there come to you no messengers from among yourselves
39:32who related to you my messages and warned you that you would face this your day
39:38they will say
39:40yes
39:40we bear witness against ourselves
39:44and the present life has beguiled them
39:46and they will bear witness against themselves on that day that they were disbelievers
39:52this is because
39:54your Lord destroys no township unjustly
39:57whilst their inhabitants are unwarned
40:01and for all are fixed different degrees of rank in accordance with their deeds
40:06your Lord is not at all unaware of what they do
40:11your Lord is self-sufficient
40:13Lord of mercy
40:15if he will
40:16he may do away with you
40:18O disbelievers
40:19and replace you with such others as he will
40:23just as he evolved you from the seeds of other people
40:27verily that punishment which you are promised
40:30must come to pass
40:32and you cannot frustrate his plans
40:35say
40:37O my people
40:38go on working according to the utmost of your capacities and positions
40:44surely I am doing my best
40:47soon you shall come to know for whom is the best reward of this abode
40:52anyhow the wrongdoers never attain their goal
40:56they allocate to Allah a portion out of what he has produced of the tillage and the cattle
41:02and they say this is for Allah
41:05according to their fancies
41:07and this is set apart for our gods
41:11then what is for their associate gods
41:13never goes over to Allah
41:15but what is set apart for Allah
41:18does often go over to their associate gods
41:21how ill they judge
41:24just as their associate gods turned the polytheists away from Allah
41:28so did they make even so monstrous a deed as the killing of their children seem fair
41:33to a large number of the polytheists
41:36with the result that they ruin them
41:38and that they obscure for them their religion
41:42and if Allah had enforced his will
41:44they would not have done so
41:46so leave them alone
41:48and that what they forge
41:51and they say according to their fancies
41:54such and such cattle and tillage are secure
41:57none shall eat them except whom we please
42:01so they assert
42:02there are some cattle whose backs have been forbidden for use
42:06and some cattle over which they would not pronounce the name of Allah
42:10they do all this forging a lie against him
42:14that such practices are by his will
42:17soon he will surely punish them for the lies they have forged
42:22they further say
42:23that the young one which is living in the womb of such and such cattle
42:28is exclusively reserved for our males and is forbidden to our spouses
42:33but if it be stillborn
42:35then they are all partakers of it
42:38he will surely repay them with punishment for their false specification
42:42surely he is all-wise
42:45all-knowing
42:48certainly they suffer a loss
42:50those who kill their children in folly and in ignorance
42:53and forbid themselves what Allah has provided for them
42:57forging lies in the name of Allah
42:59they have indeed gone astray and they are not rightly guided
43:06and he it is who evolved gardens
43:09trellised and untrellised
43:11and the date palms
43:13and the corn fields
43:15whose produce and fruits are of diverse kinds and tastes
43:19and oil producing plants
43:21and pomegranates
43:23similar in kind
43:24yet dissimilar in variety
43:27eat of the fruit of each when it yields fruit
43:30and render thereof his due in charity
43:33on the day of harvesting
43:35and do not exceed the bounds
43:38verily he loves not those who exceed the bounds
43:43he it is who created some of the cattle for carrying burdens
43:47and some like sheep and goat
43:49are too low to carry burdens but fit for slaughter
43:53eat of what Allah has provided for you
43:56and do not follow in the footsteps of Satan
43:59for he is indeed an enemy disuniting you from Allah
44:04and of cattle slaughtered for food
44:07he has created eight heads in four pairs
44:10the pair of sheep
44:12the pair of goats
44:15say
44:15is it the two males he has made unlawful
44:18or the two females
44:21or is it that young which the wombs of the two females contain
44:24which he has forbidden
44:26expound to me the case with sure knowledge
44:28if you are in the right
44:31and he created the pair of camels and the pair of cows
44:35say
44:36is it the two males that he has made unlawful
44:39or the two females
44:41or is it that which the wombs of the two females contain
44:44which he has forbidden
44:46or were you present when Allah enjoined this unlawfulness and lawfulness on you
44:51who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah deliberately
44:57that he may lead the people astray without having any knowledge
45:01verily Allah does not guide the unjust people
45:07say
45:08I find nothing in what Allah has revealed to me
45:11that forbids the people to eat anything except it be that which dies of itself
45:16or blood poured forth
45:18or flesh of swine
45:20for all this is unclean
45:23or I find that thing forbidden what is profane
45:26which has been sacrificed in other than Allah's name
45:30yet he who is constrained to eat any of them
45:33having no desire for that
45:35and having no intention to exceed the limit
45:38will find that surely your Lord is great protector
45:42ever merciful
45:44and as for those who Judaized
45:47we forbade them every animal having claws
45:51we forbade them the fat of the oxen
45:53and that of the goats and of the sheep
45:57except that fat which their backs or entrails bear
46:00or which cleaves to a bone
46:02that is how we punish them for their transgression
46:05and we are always true to our words
46:10and if they cry lies to you
46:12then say to them
46:13your Lord is the Lord of all embracing mercy
46:17but his punishment cannot be averted from the guilty people
46:22now those who associate partners with Allah say
46:25if Allah had so willed
46:27we would not have associated partners with him
46:31nor would have our forefathers
46:33nor would we have made anything unlawful of our own
46:37just as they deny you their predecessors cried lies to their apostles of God
46:43until they suffered our punishment
46:45say
46:46have you any knowledge about it
46:49then present it before us
46:52you follow not but mere conjectures
46:55and you do nothing but tell lies
46:58say
46:59then with Allah is the conclusive argument
47:03had he enforced his will
47:04he would have surely guided you all
47:07say
47:09bring your witnesses who can testify
47:11that Allah has forbidden the thing you forbid yourselves
47:15then supposing they testify this
47:18do not bear them out
47:20nor follow the caprice of those who treat our messages as lies
47:24and who do not believe in the hereafter
47:27and who set up equals to their Lord
47:30say
47:31come I will rehearse to you what your Lord has made binding on you
47:36it is that you shall associate not anything as partner with him
47:40and that you shall be good to parents
47:43and that you waste not your children because of poverty
47:46it is we who make provisions for you as well as for them too
47:51Allah has also enjoined upon you
47:53that you approach not indecencies
47:56whether open or hidden
47:58and that you kill no soul which Allah has made sacred
48:02except in the cause of justice
48:04this has he enjoined you with
48:06so that you may learn to abstain from evil
48:10and he has enjoined you
48:12that you do not approach the property of an orphan
48:15except in the fairest manner
48:18until he attains his maturity
48:21and give full measure and weight with equity
48:23we charge no soul except to its capacity
48:28and that when you speak
48:29giving your verdict
48:30observe justice even though the person concerned
48:34be a relative of yours
48:35and fulfill the covenant you made with Allah
48:39that is what he enjoins upon you
48:42so that you may take heed
48:45and the Lord says
48:46this is my exact right path
48:49so follow it
48:52and follow not diverse ways
48:54lest they should deviate you away from his straight way
48:58that is what he enjoined you with
49:00that you may guard against evil
49:03and behold
49:05we gave moses the scripture to complete our favors upon him
49:09who did good to others and is righteous
49:11and to explain everything worth explaining
49:15and as a guidance and a mercy
49:17so that the people may believe in that they will meet their lord
49:22and similarly
49:23this is a glorious book
49:25which we have revealed full of blessings
49:28so follow it and guard against evil
49:31that you may be shown mercy
49:34we have revealed this blessed book
49:36lest you should say
49:38the book has only been revealed to two communities
49:41the Jews and the Christians before us
49:43and as for us
49:45we remained unaware of what those books read
49:49or lest you should say
49:51had the book been revealed to us
49:53we would surely have been better guided than they
49:57now there has certainly come to you from your Lord
50:00in the form of the Quran
50:01a clear evidence
50:03an excellent guidance
50:04and a great mercy
50:07who then is more unjust
50:09than he who cries lies to the revelations of Allah
50:12and turns away from them
50:14we will certainly award those who turn away from our revelations
50:18an awful punishment
50:20because of their having turned away
50:24do they await only that the angels should come to them with wars
50:28or that complete destruction from your Lord should come upon them
50:32or that some of the signs of your Lord should visit them with earthly calamity
50:37the day when some of the signs of your Lord shall come
50:41no soul that did not believe earlier or accomplished some good deeds through his belief
50:48will ever benefit by his faith
50:50say wait
50:53we too are waiting
50:56verily those who have caused a split in their religion
50:59and became divided into sex
51:02you have no concern whatsoever with them
51:06their case will come before Allah
51:07then he will judge it and will fully inform them of what they have been doing
51:13whosoever does good
51:15shall be repaid tenfold
51:18but he who commits evil
51:20shall be recompensed only in proportion to the evil done
51:24and they shall not be dealt with unjustly
51:28say
51:29as for me
51:31surely my Lord has guided me to the exact straight path
51:35the ever true faith
51:37the creed of Abraham the upright
51:39and he was not of the polytheist
51:42say
51:43surely my prayer and my sacrifice
51:46and my living and my dying
51:48are all for the sake of Allah
51:51the Lord of the worlds
51:52no associate partner has he
51:55and so am I ordained
51:58and I am the first of the submitting ones to Allah
52:02say
52:03shall I seek a Lord other than Allah
52:06whilst he is the Lord of all things
52:09and no soul does anything evil
52:12but only against itself
52:14no soul that bears a burden
52:17shall bear the burden of another
52:18than two years
