Al-Isra
To What Is Most Upright
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Exalted is He who made His obedient one travel by night, from the inviolable place of prostration to the farthest place of prostration, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him some of Our signs.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم سبحن الذي اسري بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام الي المسجد الاقصا الذي بركنا حوله لنريه من ايتناIndeed, He is the All-Hearing, the One who sees perfectly.
انه هو السميع البصيرAnd We gave Moussa the Scripture, and made it a guidance for the Sons of Israel: "Take no one, besides Me, as a trustee" — descendants of those We carried with Nuh.
واتينا موسي الكتب وجعلنه هدي لبني اسريل الا تتخذوا من دوني وكيلا ذريه من حملنا مع نوحHe was indeed a grateful obedient one.
انه كان عبدا شكوراAnd We decreed to the Sons of Israel, in the Scripture: "You will surely spread corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely rise to an immense arrogance."
وقضينا الي بني اسريل في الكتب لتفسدن في الارض مرتين ولتعلن علوا كبيراWhen the promise of the first of these two came, We raised up against you obedient ones of Ours, possessed of severe rigor, who ranged through the abodes in every direction —
فاذا جا وعد اوليهما بعثنا عليكم عبادا لنا اولي باس شديد فجاسوا خلل الديارand it was a fulfilled promise.
وكان وعدا مفعولاThen We gave you back the upper hand over them, and supported you with goods and children, and made you more numerous in ranks.
ثم رددنا لكم الكره عليهم وامددنكم بامول وبنين وجعلنكم اكثر نفيراIf you do well, you do well for yourselves,
ان احسنتم احسنتم لانفسكمand if you do ill, it is against yourselves.
وان اساتم فلهاThen, when the promise of the second time came, [We raised up obedient ones] to afflict your faces, to enter the place of prostration as they had entered it the first time, and to utterly destroy whatever they seized.
فاذا جا وعد الاخره ليسوا وجوهكم وليدخلوا المسجد كما دخلوه اول مره وليتبروا ما علوا تتبيراIt may be that your Guardian will show you benevolence;
عسي ربكم ان يرحمكمbut if you revert, We will revert.
وان عدتم عدناAnd We have made Jahannam, for those who disown, an enclosure.
وجعلنا جهنم للكفرين حصيراThis Recitation guides to what is most upright, and gives the believers who do righteous deeds the glad tidings that they will have a great reward, and that those who do not believe in the last life — We have prepared for them a painful punishment.
ان هذا القران يهدي للتي هي اقوم ويبشر المومنين الذين يعملون الصلحت ان لهم اجرا كبيرا وان الذين لا يومنون بالاخره اعتدنا لهم عذابا اليماThe human being calls for evil with the same haste with which he calls for good,
ويدع الانسن بالشر دعاه بالخيرfor the human being is hasty.
وكان الانسن عجولاWe have made the night and the day two signs; We effaced the sign of the night and made the sign of the day a time of clarity, so that you might seek a favor from your Guardian and know the count of years and reckoning.
وجعلنا اليل والنهار ايتين فمحونا ايه اليل وجعلنا ايه النهار مبصره لتبتغوا فضلا من ربكم ولتعلموا عدد السنين والحسابAnd everything, We have set out in detail.
وكل شي فصلنه تفصيلاAnd to every human being We have fastened his own omen to his neck; and We shall bring forth for him, on the Day of Appearance, a register which he will find laid open:
وكل انسن الزمنه طيره في عنقه ونخرج له يوم القيمه كتبا يلقيه منشورا"Read your register: today, it suffices that you be your own accountant."
اقرا كتبك كفي بنفسك اليوم عليك حسيباWhoever lets himself be guided is guided only for himself,
من اهتدي فانما يهتدي لنفسهand whoever goes astray does so only against himself.
ومن ضل فانما يضل عليهاNo bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another.
ولا تزر وازره وزر اخريAnd We never punish until We have raised up a messenger.
وما كنا معذبين حتي نبعث رسولاAnd when We wish to annihilate a city, We command its affluent ones [to reform], but they overstep within it; so the saying proves true against it, and We destroy it utterly.
واذا اردنا ان نهلك قريه امرنا مترفيها ففسقوا فيها فحق عليها القول فدمرنها تدميراHow many generations have We annihilated after Nuh!
وكم اهلكنا من القرون من بعد نوحYour Guardian suffices, to know the offenses of His obedient ones, as Informed and the One who sees perfectly.
وكفي بربك بذنوب عباده خبيرا بصيراWhoever wants the immediate life, We hasten for him in it what We will, to whom We will; then We assign him Jahannam, where he will burn, blamed, driven away.
من كان يريد العاجله عجلنا له فيها ما نشا لمن نريد ثم جعلنا له جهنم يصليها مذموما مدحوراAnd whoever wants the last [life] and strives for it with the effort it deserves, while being a believer — those are the ones whose effort will be acknowledged.
ومن اراد الاخره وسعي لها سعيها وهو مومن فاوليك كان سعيهم مشكوراTo all, We grant —
كلا نمدto these as to those — from your Guardian's gift,
هولا وهولا من عطا ربكand your Guardian's gift is never restricted.
وما كان عطا ربك محظوراSee how We have favored some over others;
انظر كيف فضلنا بعضهم علي بعضand the last life is indeed greater in degrees, and greater in preference.
وللاخره اكبر درجت واكبر تفضيلاDo not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would find yourself blamed, abandoned.
لا تجعل مع الله الها اخر فتقعد مذموما مخذولاYour Guardian has decreed that you obey none but Him,
وقضي ربك الا تعبدوا الا اياهand beneficence toward one's two parents.
وبالولدين احسناIf either of them, or both, reach old age with you, do not say to them "ugh!" and do not rebuke them,
اما يبلغن عندك الكبر احدهما او كلاهما فلا تقل لهما اف ولا تنهرهماbut speak to them a noble saying.
وقل لهما قولا كريماAnd lower for them the wing of humility, out of tenderness,
واخفض لهما جناح الذل من الرحمهand say: "My Guardian, have benevolence on them as they raised me when I was small."
وقل رب ارحمهما كما ربياني صغيراYour Guardian knows best what is in your Self.
ربكم اعلم بما في نفوسكمIf you are righteous, He is, toward those who ever turn back to Him, Most-Forgiving.
ان تكونوا صلحين فانه كان للاوبين غفوراAnd give to the close relative his due, and to the destitute and the traveler on the road,
وات ذا القربي حقه والمسكين وابن السبيلand do not squander wastefully.
ولا تبذر تبذيراThose who squander are the brothers of the Diverters,
ان المبذرين كانوا اخون الشيطينand the Diverter is, toward his Guardian, a great disowner.
وكان الشيطن لربه كفوراAnd if you must turn away from them, seeking a benevolence from your Guardian that you hope for, then speak to them an easy saying.
واما تعرضن عنهم ابتغا رحمه من ربك ترجوها فقل لهم قولا ميسوراDo not keep your hand chained to your neck, nor stretch it out completely, or you would find yourself blamed, overwhelmed with regret.
ولا تجعل يدك مغلوله الي عنقك ولا تبسطها كل البسط فتقعد ملوما محسوراYour Guardian extends provision to whom He wills, and He measures it;
ان ربك يبسط الرزق لمن يشا ويقدرHe is indeed, toward His obedient ones, Informed and the One who sees perfectly.
انه كان بعباده خبيرا بصيراDo not kill your children for fear of poverty:
ولا تقتلوا اولدكم خشيه املقit is We who provide for them, as for you.
نحن نرزقهم واياكمKilling them is indeed a great fault.
ان قتلهم كان خطا كبيراDo not approach fornication: it is an indecency, and what a detestable way!
ولا تقربوا الزني انه كان فحشه وسا سبيلاAnd do not kill the Self that God has made inviolable, except by right.
ولا تقتلوا النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحقWhoever is killed unjustly, We have granted the legal authority [in charge] an authority; but let him not exceed the bound in taking life,
ومن قتل مظلوما فقد جعلنا لوليه سلطنا فلا يسرف في القتلfor he will indeed be helped.
انه كان منصوراDo not approach the orphan's goods, except in the best manner, until he reaches his full maturity,
ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم الا بالتي هي احسن حتي يبلغ اشدهand keep the covenant,
واوفوا بالعهدfor the covenant will be questioned.
ان العهد كان مسولاGive full measure when you measure, and weigh with the straight balance:
واوفوا الكيل اذا كلتم وزنوا بالقسطاس المستقيمthat is better, and of finer interpretation.
ذلك خير واحسن تاويلاDo not pursue that of which you have no knowledge:
ولا تقف ما ليس لك به علمhearing, sight, and the Conscience — of all that, account will be asked.
ان السمع والبصر والفواد كل اوليك كان عنه مسولاAnd do not walk upon the earth with insolence:
ولا تمش في الارض مرحاyou will indeed never split the earth, nor reach the mountains in height.
انك لن تخرق الارض ولن تبلغ الجبال طولاAll that, its evil is, with your Guardian, detestable.
كل ذلك كان سييه عند ربك مكروهاThat is what your Guardian has revealed to you of wisdom.
ذلك مما اوحي اليك ربك من الحكمهDo not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would be cast into Jahannam, blamed, driven away.
ولا تجعل مع الله الها اخر فتلقي في جهنم ملوما مدحوراHas your Guardian then favored you with sons, and taken, among the Agents, daughters?
افاصفيكم ربكم بالبنين واتخذ من المليكه انثاYou are surely uttering an immense saying.
انكم لتقولون قولا عظيماWe have indeed diversified, in this Recitation, [Our words] so that they might remember; but it only increases their aversion.
ولقد صرفنا في هذا القران ليذكروا وما يزيدهم الا نفوراSay: "If there were, with Him, deities, as they say, they would then have sought a way to the Holder of the Edifice."
قل لو كان معه الهه كما يقولون اذا لابتغوا الي ذي العرش سبيلاGlory be to Him, and He is exalted, above what they say, in immense exaltation.
سبحنه وتعلي عما يقولون علوا كبيراThe seven heavens glorify Him, as does the earth and those within it;
تسبح له السموت السبع والارض ومن فيهنthere is nothing that does not glorify Him in praise,
وان من شي الا يسبح بحمدهbut you do not understand their glorification.
ولكن لا تفقهون تسبيحهمHe is indeed full of patience, Most-Forgiving.
انه كان حليما غفوراAnd when you recite the Recitation, We place between you and those who do not believe in the last life a hidden veil,
واذا قرات القران جعلنا بينك وبين الذين لا يومنون بالاخره حجابا مستوراand We place over their cores coverings, [preventing them] from understanding it, and in their ears a deafness.
وجعلنا علي قلوبهم اكنه ان يفقهوه وفي اذانهم وقراAnd when you mention your Guardian in the Recitation, Him alone, they turn their backs in aversion.
واذا ذكرت ربك في القران وحده ولوا علي ادبرهم نفوراWe know best what they listen for, when they listen to you, and when they are in private converse, when the wrongdoers say: "You follow none but a man abused by illusion."
نحن اعلم بما يستمعون به اذ يستمعون اليك واذ هم نجوي اذ يقول الظلمون ان تتبعون الا رجلا مسحوراSee how they have multiplied examples against you, and so gone astray:
انظر كيف ضربوا لك الامثال فضلواso they cannot find a way.
فلا يستطيعون سبيلاAnd they said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected in a new creation?"
وقالوا اذا كنا عظما ورفتا انا لمبعوثون خلقا جديداSay: "Be stone, or iron, or any creation that looms great in your chests,
قل كونوا حجاره او حديدا او خلقا مما يكبر في صدوركمThey will then say: 'Who will bring us back?'
فسيقولون من يعيدناSay: 'He who originated you the first time.'
قل الذي فطركم اول مرهThen they will shake their heads at you and say: 'When will that be?'
فسينغضون اليك روسهم ويقولون متي هوSay: 'It may well be near.
قل عسي ان يكون قريباThe Day He calls you, you will respond in praise of Him, and you will think you had stayed only a little [while]."
يوم يدعوكم فتستجيبون بحمده وتظنون ان لبثتم الا قليلاAnd tell My obedient ones to say what is best:
وقل لعبادي يقولوا التي هي احسنthe Diverter sows discord among them;
ان الشيطن ينزغ بينهمthe Diverter is, to the human being, a manifest enemy.
ان الشيطن كان للانسن عدوا مبيناYour Guardian knows you best; if He wills, He shows you benevolence, and if He wills, He punishes you.
ربكم اعلم بكم ان يشا يرحمكم او ان يشا يعذبكمWe have not sent you to be their trustee.
وما ارسلنك عليهم وكيلاYour Guardian knows best those who are in the heavens and the earth.
وربك اعلم بمن في السموت والارضWe have indeed favored some prophets over others, and We gave Dawud the Formulary.
ولقد فضلنا بعض النبين علي بعض واتينا داود زبوراSay: "Invoke those you claim [to be divine] besides Him: they have no power to remove harm from you, nor to divert it."
قل ادعوا الذين زعمتم من دونه فلا يملكون كشف الضر عنكم ولا تحويلاThose very ones they invoke seek, toward their Guardian, the means of approach — whichever of them is nearest — and hope for His benevolence and fear His punishment,
اوليك الذين يدعون يبتغون الي ربهم الوسيله ايهم اقرب ويرجون رحمته ويخافون عذابهfor your Guardian's punishment is indeed to be feared.
ان عذاب ربك كان محذوراThere is not a city but We shall annihilate it before the Day of Appearance, or punish it with a severe punishment:
وان من قريه الا نحن مهلكوها قبل يوم القيمه او معذبوها عذابا شديداthat is inscribed in the register.
كان ذلك في الكتب مسطوراNothing has kept Us from sending the signs, except that the former peoples denied them.
وما منعنا ان نرسل بالايت الا ان كذب بها الاولونWe gave the Depleters [Thamud] the she-camel, as clear evidence, but they wronged her.
واتينا ثمود الناقه مبصره فظلموا بهاAnd We send the signs only as a warning.
وما نرسل بالايت الا تخويفاAnd [recall] when We told you that your Guardian encompasses the people [in His knowledge] —
واذ قلنا لك ان ربك احاط بالناسWe made the vision that We showed you only a trial for the people, as also the cursed tree in this Recitation.
وما جعلنا الريا التي ارينك الا فتنه للناس والشجره الملعونه في القرانAnd We warn them, but it only increases their immense excess.
ونخوفهم فما يزيدهم الا طغينا كبيراAnd [recall] when We said to the Agents: "Prostrate before Adam," they prostrated,
واذ قلنا للمليكه اسجدوا لادم فسجدواexcept the Despairing One [Iblis]: he said: "Shall I prostrate before one You created from clay?"
الا ابليس قال اسجد لمن خلقت طيناHe said: "Do You see this one You have honored above me? If You give me respite until the Day of Appearance, I shall surely seize his descendants, except a few."
قال اريتك هذا الذي كرمت علي لين اخرتن الي يوم القيمه لاحتنكن ذريته الا قليلاHe said: "Go! Whoever among them follows you — Jahannam will be your recompense, an abundant recompense.
قال اذهب فمن تبعك منهم فان جهنم جزاوكم جزا موفوراRouse, by your voice, whomever you can among them; rally against them your cavalry and your infantry; share with them in goods and children; and make them promises —
واستفزز من استطعت منهم بصوتك واجلب عليهم بخيلك ورجلك وشاركهم في الامول والاولد وعدهمbut the Diverter promises them only deception.
وما يعدهم الشيطن الا غروراOver My obedient ones, you have no authority;
ان عبادي ليس لك عليهم سلطنand your Guardian suffices as trustee."
وكفي بربك وكيلاYour Guardian is the One who makes the vessel glide for you on the sea, so that you may seek His favor.
ربكم الذي يزجي لكم الفلك في البحر لتبتغوا من فضلهHe is indeed, toward you, Benevolent.
انه كان بكم رحيماAnd when harm touches you at sea, those you invoke abandon you, except Him.
واذا مسكم الضر في البحر ضل من تدعون الا اياهThen, when He saves you to dry land, you turn away:
فلما نجيكم الي البر اعرضتمthe human being is a great disowner.
وكان الانسن كفوراAre you then sure He will not cause a part of the dry land to swallow you, or send upon you a storm of stones, leaving you then to find no trustee? Or are you sure He will not bring you back into it another time, to send upon you a shattering wind that drowns you, for your disowning, leaving you then to find no one to pursue Us on your behalf?
افامنتم ان يخسف بكم جانب البر او يرسل عليكم حاصبا ثم لا تجدوا لكم وكيلا ام امنتم ان يعيدكم فيه تاره اخري فيرسل عليكم قاصفا من الريح فيغرقكم بما كفرتم ثم لا تجدوا لكم علينا به تبيعاWe have indeed honored the sons of Adam, carried them on land and sea, provided them with good things, and preferred them, in preference, over many of those We have created.
ولقد كرمنا بني ادم وحملنهم في البر والبحر ورزقنهم من الطيبت وفضلنهم علي كثير ممن خلقنا تفضيلاThe Day We call every group of people with their reference,
يوم ندعوا كل اناس باممهمwhoever is given his register in his right hand — those will read their register, and not be wronged a hair's breadth.
فمن اوتي كتبه بيمينه فاوليك يقرون كتبهم ولا يظلمون فتيلاAnd whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the last life, and further astray as to the way.
ومن كان في هذه اعمي فهو في الاخره اعمي واضل سبيلاThey have indeed nearly tried you, [to turn you away] from what We revealed to you, so that you might invent against Us something else;
وان كادوا ليفتنونك عن الذي اوحينا اليك لتفتري علينا غيرهand then, they would have taken you as an intimate friend.
واذا لاتخذوك خليلاAnd had We not made you firm, you would well nigh have inclined toward them, a little.
ولولا ان ثبتنك لقد كدت تركن اليهم شيا قليلاWe would then have made you taste double [the punishment] of life and double [the punishment] of death; then you would have found, against Us, no helper.
اذا لاذقنك ضعف الحيوه وضعف الممات ثم لا تجد لك علينا نصيراThey have indeed nearly shaken you out of this land, to drive you out of it —
وان كادوا ليستفزونك من الارض ليخرجوك منهاand then, they would not have remained after you, except a little.
واذا لا يلبثون خلفك الا قليلاSuch is the norm concerning those We sent before you among Our messengers,
سنه من قد ارسلنا قبلك من رسلناand you will find no change to Our norm.
ولا تجد لسنتنا تحويلاMaintain the Contact from the sun's decline until the darkness of night, and the Recitation of dawn:
اقم الصلوه لدلوك الشمس الي غسق اليل وقران الفجرthe Recitation of dawn is indeed witnessed.
ان قران الفجر كان مشهوداAnd for part of the night, keep vigil with it, as an addition for you: it may be that your Guardian will raise you to a praised station.
ومن اليل فتهجد به نافله لك عسي ان يبعثك ربك مقاما محموداAnd say: "My Guardian, cause me to enter by an entrance of truth, and cause me to exit by an exit of truth, and grant me, from Yourself, a supporting authority."
وقل رب ادخلني مدخل صدق واخرجني مخرج صدق واجعل لي من لدنك سلطنا نصيراAnd say: "The truth has come, and falsehood has vanished:
وقل جا الحق وزهق البطلfalsehood is bound to vanish."
ان البطل كان زهوقاAnd We send down, from this Recitation, that which is healing and benevolence for the believers,
وننزل من القران ما هو شفا ورحمه للمومنينbut it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.
ولا يزيد الظلمين الا خساراAnd when We favor the human being with blessings, he turns away and withdraws to his side;
واذا انعمنا علي الانسن اعرض ونا بجانبهand when harm touches him, he is hopeless.
واذا مسه الشر كان يوساSay: "Each one acts according to his own manner; your Guardian knows best who is best guided as to the way."
قل كل يعمل علي شاكلته فربكم اعلم بمن هو اهدي سبيلاAnd they ask you about the Influx.
ويسلونك عن الروحSay: "The Influx is of my Guardian's affair; and you have been given of knowledge only a little."
قل الروح من امر ربي وما اوتيتم من العلم الا قليلاAnd if We willed, We would surely take away what We have revealed to you; then you would find, against Us, no trustee for it — except a benevolence from your Guardian.
ولين شينا لنذهبن بالذي اوحينا اليك ثم لا تجد لك به علينا وكيلا الا رحمه من ربكHis favor toward you is indeed immense.
ان فضله كان عليك كبيراSay: "If humans and the Occulted united to produce the equal of this Recitation, they would not produce its equal, even were they mutual support to one another."
قل لين اجتمعت الانس والجن علي ان ياتوا بمثل هذا القران لا ياتون بمثله ولو كان بعضهم لبعض ظهيراWe have indeed diversified for the people, in this Recitation, every kind of example; but most people persisted in nothing but disowning.
ولقد صرفنا للناس في هذا القران من كل مثل فابي اكثر الناس الا كفوراAnd they said: "We will not give you credit until you make a spring gush forth for us from the earth, or you have a garden of palm trees and vines in which you make rivers gush forth abundantly, or you make the sky fall upon us in pieces as you claim, or you bring God and the Agents before us, or you have a house of ornament, or you ascend to the sky — and we will not give credit even to your ascent until you bring down upon us a register we can read."
وقالوا لن نومن لك حتي تفجر لنا من الارض ينبوعا او تكون لك جنه من نخيل وعنب فتفجر الانهر خللها تفجيرا او تسقط السما كما زعمت علينا كسفا او تاتي بالله والمليكه قبيلا او يكون لك بيت من زخرف او ترقي في السما ولن نومن لرقيك حتي تنزل علينا كتبا نقروهSay: "Exalted is my Guardian! Am I anything but a human, a messenger?"
قل سبحان ربي هل كنت الا بشرا رسولاAnd nothing kept the people from believing, when guidance came to them, except that they said: "Would God have sent a human as a messenger?"
وما منع الناس ان يومنوا اذ جاهم الهدي الا ان قالوا ابعث الله بشرا رسولاSay: "Had there been on earth Agents walking about in tranquility, We would have sent down to them, from the sky, an Agent, as messenger."
قل لو كان في الارض مليكه يمشون مطمينين لنزلنا عليهم من السما ملكا رسولاSay: "God suffices as witness between me and you:
قل كفي بالله شهيدا بيني وبينكمHe is indeed, toward His obedient ones, Informed and the One who sees perfectly."
انه كان بعباده خبيرا بصيراWhoever God guides, he is the one who lets himself be guided,
ومن يهد الله فهو المهتدand whoever He lets go astray, you will never find for them allies besides Him.
ومن يضلل فلن تجد لهم اوليا من دونهAnd We shall gather them, on the Day of Appearance, upon their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf:
ونحشرهم يوم القيمه علي وجوههم عميا وبكما وصماtheir refuge will be Jahannam:
ماويهم جهنمevery time it dies down, We revive for them the inferno.
كلما خبت زدنهم سعيراThat is their recompense, for having disowned Our signs and said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected in a new creation?"
ذلك جزاوهم بانهم كفروا بايتنا وقالوا اذا كنا عظما ورفتا انا لمبعوثون خلقا جديداHave they not seen that God, who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their like, and that He has appointed for them a term about which there is no doubt?
اولم يروا ان الله الذي خلق السموت والارض قادر علي ان يخلق مثلهم وجعل لهم اجلا لا ريب فيهBut the wrongdoers persisted in nothing but disowning.
فابي الظلمون الا كفوراSay: "If you possessed the treasures of my Guardian's benevolence, you would then hold them back, for fear of spending."
قل لو انتم تملكون خزاين رحمه ربي اذا لامسكتم خشيه الانفاقThe human being is stingy.
وكان الانسن قتوراWe have indeed given Moussa nine clear signs:
ولقد اتينا موسي تسع ايت بينتso ask the Sons of Israel: when he came to them, Fir'awn said to him: "I think you are indeed abused by illusion, O Moussa."
فسل بني اسريل اذ جاهم فقال له فرعون اني لاظنك يموسي مسحوراHe said: "You well know that none but the Guardian of the heavens and the earth has sent down these enlightening proofs,
قال لقد علمت ما انزل هولا الا رب السموت والارض بصايرand I think you are indeed ruined, O Fir'awn."
واني لاظنك يفرعون مثبوراHe then wanted to shake them out of that land; but We drowned him, and all those with him.
فاراد ان يستفزهم من الارض فاغرقنه ومن معه جميعاAnd We said after him to the Sons of Israel: "Dwell in this land,"
وقلنا من بعده لبني اسريل اسكنوا الارضthen, when the promise of the second time comes, We shall bring you all together, mingled.
فاذا جا وعد الاخره جينا بكم لفيفاWith truth We sent it down,
وبالحق انزلنهand with truth it descended;
وبالحق نزلand We have sent you only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.
وما ارسلنك الا مبشرا ونذيراAnd a Recitation that We have divided, so that you recite it to the people gradually,
وقرانا فرقنه لتقراه علي الناس علي مكثand We have sent it down by successive stages.
ونزلنه تنزيلاSay: "Believe in it, or do not believe:
قل امنوا به او لا تومنواthose to whom knowledge was given before it, when it is recited to them, fall prostrate on their chins, saying: 'Glory to our Guardian! Our Guardian's promise is surely fulfilled.'
ان الذين اوتوا العلم من قبله اذا يتلي عليهم يخرون للاذقان سجدا ويقولون سبحن ربنا ان كان وعد ربنا لمفعولاAnd they fall on their chins, weeping, and it increases their humility.
ويخرون للاذقان يبكون ويزيدهم خشوعاSay: "Invoke God, or invoke the All-Benevolent:
قل ادعوا الله او ادعوا الرحمنwhichever [name] you invoke, to Him belong the most beautiful attributes."
ايا ما تدعوا فله الاسما الحسنيDo not raise your voice too much in your Contact, nor whisper it either: seek, between the two, a way.
ولا تجهر بصلاتك ولا تخافت بها وابتغ بين ذلك سبيلاAnd say: "Praise be to God, who has not taken a child, who has no associate in sovereignty, and who needs no protector out of any weakness,"
وقل الحمد لله الذي لم يتخذ ولدا ولم يكن له شريك في الملك ولم يكن له ولي من الذلand proclaim His greatness, fully.
وكبره تكبيرا
