Al-An'am
The Guardian of Every Thing
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Praise be to God, who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darknesses and the light; yet those who disown set up equals to their Guardian.
الحمد لله الذي خلق السموت والارض وجعل الظلمت والنور ثم الذين كفروا بربهم يعدلون
It is He who created you from clay, then decreed a term —
هو الذي خلقكم من طين ثم قضي اجلا
and an appointed term, with Him.
واجل مسمي عنده
Yet still you contend.
ثم انتم تمترون
And He is God,
وهو الله
in the heavens and on the earth; He knows your secret and what you say aloud, and He knows what you earn.
في السموت وفي الارض يعلم سركم وجهركم ويعلم ما تكسبون
No sign, among the signs of their Guardian, comes to them without their turning away from it.
وما تاتيهم من ايه من ايت ربهم الا كانوا عنها معرضين
So they have denied the truth, when it came to them;
فقد كذبوا بالحق لما جاهم
the information of what they used to mock will soon reach them.
فسوف ياتيهم انبوا ما كانوا به يستهزون
Do they not see how many generations We annihilated before them, whom We had established on the earth as We have not established you,
الم يروا كم اهلكنا من قبلهم من قرن مكنهم في الارض ما لم نمكن لكم
and to whom We sent the sky in copious streams,
وارسلنا السما عليهم مدرارا
and We made the rivers flow beneath them; then We annihilated them for their offenses,
وجعلنا الانهر تجري من تحتهم فاهلكنهم بذنوبهم
and We brought into being, after them, another generation.
وانشانا من بعدهم قرنا اخرين
And had We sent down upon you a writing on parchment, and they had touched it with their hands, those who disown would certainly have said: "This is nothing but a manifest illusion."
ولو نزلنا عليك كتبا في قرطاس فلمسوه بايديهم لقال الذين كفروا ان هذا الا سحر مبين
And they say: "Why has an Agent not been sent down upon him!"
وقالوا لولا انزل عليه ملك
And had We sent down an Agent, the matter would already have been decided, and they would be granted no delay.
ولو انزلنا ملكا لقضي الامر ثم لا ينظرون
And had We made him an Agent, We would have made him a man, and We would have blurred for them what they themselves blur.
ولو جعلنه ملكا لجعلنه رجلا وللبسنا عليهم ما يلبسون
Messengers before you were indeed mocked; then what they used to mock enveloped those among them who scoffed.
ولقد استهزي برسل من قبلك فحاق بالذين سخروا منهم ما كانوا به يستهزون
Say: "Travel through the earth, then look at what was the end of those who denied."
قل سيروا في الارض ثم انظروا كيف كان عقبه المكذبين
Say: "To whom belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth?" Say: "To God.
قل لمن ما في السموت والارض قل لله
He has prescribed benevolence upon Himself.
كتب علي نفسه الرحمه
He will certainly bring you together on the Day of Appearance, about which there is no doubt.
ليجمعنكم الي يوم القيمه لا ريب فيه
Those who will have caused the loss of their Selves, those are the ones who do not believe."
الذين خسروا انفسهم فهم لا يومنون
To Him belongs what rests in the night and the day;
وله ما سكن في اليل والنهار
and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
وهو السميع العليم
Say: "Should I take a protector other than God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth,
قل اغير الله اتخذ وليا فاطر السموت والارض
It is He who feeds and is not fed."
وهو يطعم ولا يطعم
Say: "I have been commanded to be the first of those who are true to God alone",
قل اني امرت ان اكون اول من اسلم
and never be among those who associate.
ولا تكونن من المشركين
Say: "I indeed fear, if I disobey my Guardian, the punishment of an immense day."
قل اني اخاف ان عصيت ربي عذاب يوم عظيم
Whoever is turned away from it, on that day, He will have shown him benevolence,
من يصرف عنه يوميذ فقد رحمه
and that is the manifest triumph.
وذلك الفوز المبين
And if God touches you with harm, none can remove it but Him;
وان يمسسك الله بضر فلا كاشف له الا هو
and if He touches you with good, He is capable of all things.
وان يمسسك بخير فهو علي كل شي قدير
He subjugates above His obedient ones,
وهو القاهر فوق عباده
and He is the Wise, the Intimately Acquainted.
وهو الحكيم الخبير
Say: "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say: "God,
قل اي شي اكبر شهده قل الله
witness between me and you.
شهيد بيني وبينكم
And this Recitation was revealed to me so that I might warn you by it, and whoever it reaches.
واوحي الي هذا القران لانذركم به ومن بلغ
Do you really bear witness that there are, with God, other deities?" Say: "I do not bear witness."
اينكم لتشهدون ان مع الله الهه اخري قل لا اشهد
Say: "He is only one deity,
قل انما هو اله وحد
and I am indeed quit of what you associate."
وانني بري مما تشركون
Those to whom We gave the Scripture recognize it as they recognize their own sons;
الذين اتينهم الكتب يعرفونه كما يعرفون ابناهم
those who will have caused the loss of their Selves, those are the ones who do not believe.
الذين خسروا انفسهم فهم لا يومنون
Who then does more wrong than one who invents a lie against God, or denies His signs?
ومن اظلم ممن افتري علي الله كذبا او كذب بايته
The wrongdoers indeed do not succeed.
انه لا يفلح الظلمون
And the day when We gather them all together, then say to those who associated: "Where are your associates, whom you used to claim?"
ويوم نحشرهم جميعا ثم نقول للذين اشركوا اين شركاوكم الذين كنتم تزعمون
Then their only trial will have been to say: "By God, our Guardian, we were not among those who associate."
ثم لم تكن فتنتهم الا ان قالوا والله ربنا ما كنا مشركين
Look how they lie against themselves! And what they used to invent will have strayed away from them.
انظر كيف كذبوا علي انفسهم وضل عنهم ما كانوا يفترون
And among them are some who listen to you,
ومنهم من يستمع اليك
but We have placed over their cores coverings, so that they do not understand it, and in their ears a deafness.
وجعلنا علي قلوبهم اكنه ان يفقهوه وفي اذانهم وقرا
And even if they saw every sign, they would not believe in it,
وان يروا كل ايه لا يومنوا بها
to the point that, when they come to you to argue, those who disown say: "These are nothing but legends of the ancients."
حتي اذا جاوك يجدلونك يقول الذين كفروا ان هذا الا اسطير الاولين
And they forbid it, and they draw away from it;
وهم ينهون عنه وينون عنه
and they annihilate none but themselves, without sensing it.
وان يهلكون الا انفسهم وما يشعرون
And if you could see, when they will be halted before the Fire, and say: "Ah, if only we were sent back,
ولو تري اذ وقفوا علي النار فقالوا يليتنا نرد
and no longer denied the signs of our Guardian, and were among the believers!"
ولا نكذب بايت ربنا ونكون من المومنين
No! What they used to hide before has become apparent to them.
بل بدا لهم ما كانوا يخفون من قبل
And were they sent back, they would certainly return to what they had been forbidden,
ولو ردوا لعادوا لما نهوا عنه
for they are surely liars.
وانهم لكذبون
And they say: "There is nothing but our present life, and we will not be raised."
وقالوا ان هي الا حياتنا الدنيا وما نحن بمبعوثين
And if you could see, when they will be halted before their Guardian! He will say: "Is this not the truth?"
ولو تري اذ وقفوا علي ربهم قال اليس هذا بالحق
They will say: "Yes, by our Guardian!"
قالوا بلي وربنا
He will say: "Taste then the punishment, for having disowned."
قال فذوقوا العذاب بما كنتم تكفرون
They are indeed losers, those who have denied the meeting with God, to the point that, when the Hour comes upon them unexpectedly, they say: "What desolation for us, for what we neglected in it!" They will bear their burdens on their backs.
قد خسر الذين كذبوا بلقا الله حتي اذا جاتهم الساعه بغته قالوا يحسرتنا علي ما فرطنا فيها وهم يحملون اوزارهم علي ظهورهم
How evil is the burden they bear!
الا سا ما يزرون
The present life is nothing but play and distraction;
وما الحيوه الدنيا الا لعب ولهو
and the last abode is indeed better for those who guard themselves.
وللدار الاخره خير للذين يتقون
Will you not then reason?
افلا تعقلون
We will indeed know that what they say surely grieves you;
قد نعلم انه ليحزنك الذي يقولون
but it is not you they deny,
فانهم لا يكذبونك
but it is the signs of God that the wrongdoers stubbornly reject.
ولكن الظلمين بايت الله يجحدون
Messengers were indeed denied before you; denied and troubled, they endured until Our help came to them.
ولقد كذبت رسل من قبلك فصبروا علي ما كذبوا واوذوا حتي اتيهم نصرنا
None can change the words of God.
ولا مبدل لكلمت الله
Some of the information about the envoys has indeed already reached you.
ولقد جاك من نباي المرسلين
And if their turning away weighs upon you, then, if you have the capacity, seek a tunnel into the earth, or a ladder into the sky, to bring them a sign.
وان كان كبر عليك اعراضهم فان استطعت ان تبتغي نفقا في الارض او سلما في السما فتاتيهم بايه
Had God willed, He would have brought them together upon guidance;
ولو شا الله لجمعهم علي الهدي
so never be among the ignorant.
فلا تكونن من الجهلين
Only those who hear respond.
انما يستجيب الذين يسمعون
As for the dead, God will raise them,
والموتي يبعثهم الله
then it is to Him that they will be returned.
ثم اليه يرجعون
And they say: "Why has a sign from his Guardian not been sent down upon him!"
وقالوا لولا نزل عليه ايه من ربه
Say: "God is indeed capable of sending down a sign",
قل ان الله قادر علي ان ينزل ايه
but most of them do not know.
ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون
There is no living being on the earth, nor bird flying with its two wings, but forms communities like you.
وما من دابه في الارض ولا طير يطير بجناحيه الا امم امثالكم
We have neglected nothing of the Code.
ما فرطنا في الكتب من شي
Then it is to their Guardian that they will be gathered.
ثم الي ربهم يحشرون
And those who have denied Our signs are deaf and mute, in darknesses.
والذين كذبوا بايتنا صم وبكم في الظلمت
Whoever God wills to lead astray, He leads astray;
من يشا الله يضلله
and whoever He wills, He places on a straight path.
ومن يشا يجعله علي صرط مستقيم
Say: "Do you see? If the punishment of God came upon you, or the Hour came upon you, would you invoke other than God, if you are veracious?"
قل اريتكم ان اتيكم عذاب الله او اتتكم الساعه اغير الله تدعون ان كنتم صدقين
In reality, it is Him you would invoke; He would then remove, if He willed, that for which you invoked Him, and you would forget what you associate.
بل اياه تدعون فيكشف ما تدعون اليه ان شا وتنسون ما تشركون
We have indeed sent to communities before you, and We seized them with adversity and hardship, perhaps they would beseech.
ولقد ارسلنا الي امم من قبلك فاخذنهم بالباسا والضرا لعلهم يتضرعون
Why did they not beseech, when Our rigor came upon them!
فلولا اذ جاهم باسنا تضرعوا
But their cores hardened, and the Diverter embellished for them what they were doing.
ولكن قست قلوبهم وزين لهم الشيطن ما كانوا يعملون
Then, when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened upon them the gates of everything,
فلما نسوا ما ذكروا به فتحنا عليهم ابوب كل شي
to the point that, when they rejoiced in what had been given them, We seized them unexpectedly, and there they were, in despair.
حتي اذا فرحوا بما اوتوا اخذنهم بغته فاذا هم مبلسون
Thus was the last remnant of the people who had done wrong cut off.
فقطع دابر القوم الذين ظلموا
And praise be to God, Guardian of all beings.
والحمد لله رب العلمين
Say: "Do you see? If God took your hearing and your sight, and sealed your cores, what deity, other than God, would bring them back to you?"
قل اريتم ان اخذ الله سمعكم وابصركم وختم علي قلوبكم من اله غير الله ياتيكم به
Look how We diversify the signs, and yet they veer away from them.
انظر كيف نصرف الايت ثم هم يصدفون
Say: "Do you see? If the punishment of God came upon you, unexpectedly or openly, who would be annihilated, but the wrongdoing people?"
قل اريتكم ان اتيكم عذاب الله بغته او جهره هل يهلك الا القوم الظلمون
We send the envoys only as bearers of good tidings and warners.
وما نرسل المرسلين الا مبشرين ومنذرين
Whoever believes and becomes sound, no fear upon them, and they will not grieve.
فمن امن واصلح فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون
And those who have denied Our signs, the punishment will touch them, for having overstepped.
والذين كذبوا بايتنا يمسهم العذاب بما كانوا يفسقون
Say: "I do not tell you that I hold the treasuries of God, nor that I know what escapes the senses, nor do I tell you that I am an Agent;
قل لا اقول لكم عندي خزاين الله ولا اعلم الغيب ولا اقول لكم اني ملك
I only follow what is revealed to me."
ان اتبع الا ما يوحي الي
Say: "Are the blind and the seeing equal?"
قل هل يستوي الاعمي والبصير
Will you not then reflect?
افلا تتفكرون
And warn by it those who fear to be gathered to their Guardian — they have, besides Him, neither protector nor intercessor — perhaps they will guard themselves.
وانذر به الذين يخافون ان يحشروا الي ربهم ليس لهم من دونه ولي ولا شفيع لعلهم يتقون
And do not chase away those who invoke their Guardian, morning and evening, wanting His direction. Nothing of their account is upon you, and nothing of your account is upon them, that you should chase them away and then be among the wrongdoers.
ولا تطرد الذين يدعون ربهم بالغدوه والعشي يريدون وجهه ما عليك من حسابهم من شي وما من حسابك عليهم من شي فتطردهم فتكون من الظلمين
And thus have We tried some of them by others, that they might say: "Are these the ones whom God has graced among us?"
وكذلك فتنا بعضهم ببعض ليقولوا اهولا من الله عليهم من بيننا
Does God not know best those who are grateful?
اليس الله باعلم بالشكرين
And when those who believe in Our signs come to you, say: "Peace be upon you.
واذا جاك الذين يومنون بايتنا فقل سلم عليكم
Your Guardian has prescribed benevolence upon Himself: whoever among you commits evil out of ignorance, then repents after that and becomes sound — He is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent."
كتب ربكم علي نفسه الرحمه انه من عمل منكم سوا بجهله ثم تاب من بعده واصلح فانه غفور رحيم
Thus do We detail the signs, so that the way of the severed may become clearly apparent.
وكذلك نفصل الايت ولتستبين سبيل المجرمين
Say: "I have indeed been forbidden to obey those you invoke besides God."
قل اني نهيت ان اعبد الذين تدعون من دون الله
Say: "I do not follow your emotions;
قل لا اتبع اهواكم
I would then be astray, and I would not be among those who let themselves be guided."
قد ضللت اذا وما انا من المهتدين
Say: "I indeed rely on clear evidence from my Guardian, and you have denied it.
قل اني علي بينه من ربي وكذبتم به
I do not hold what you seek to hasten.
ما عندي ما تستعجلون به
Judgment belongs only to God.
ان الحكم الا لله
He relates the truth,
يقص الحق
and He is the best of those who separate."
وهو خير الفصلين
Say: "If I held what you seek to hasten, the matter would already have been decided between me and you."
قل لو ان عندي ما تستعجلون به لقضي الامر بيني وبينكم
God knows best the wrongdoers.
والله اعلم بالظلمين
He holds the keys of what escapes the senses: none knows them, save Him.
وعنده مفاتح الغيب لا يعلمها الا هو
And He knows what is on land and in the sea.
ويعلم ما في البر والبحر
No leaf tumbles but He knows it; no grain, in the darknesses of the earth, nothing moist or dry, that is not in an explicit register.
وما تسقط من ورقه الا يعلمها ولا حبه في ظلمت الارض ولا رطب ولا يابس الا في كتب مبين
It is He who keeps you faithfully, by night, and knows what you have perpetrated by day, then He raises you in it, so that an appointed term may be concluded;
وهو الذي يتوفيكم باليل ويعلم ما جرحتم بالنهار ثم يبعثكم فيه ليقضي اجل مسمي
then to Him will be your return, and He will inform you of what you used to do.
ثم اليه مرجعكم ثم ينبيكم بما كنتم تعملون
He subjugates above His obedient ones,
وهو القاهر فوق عباده
and He sends upon you preservers,
ويرسل عليكم حفظه
to the point that, when death comes to one of you, Our envoys keep him faithfully, without neglect.
حتي اذا جا احدكم الموت توفته رسلنا وهم لا يفرطون
Then they are brought back to God, their true nearest Guarantor.
ثم ردوا الي الله موليهم الحق
Is it not to Him that judgment belongs?
الا له الحكم
He is the swiftest of those who take account.
وهو اسرع الحسبين
Say: "Who saves you from the darknesses of land and sea?" — you invoke Him beseechingly and covertly: "If You save us from this, we will certainly be among the grateful."
قل من ينجيكم من ظلمت البر والبحر تدعونه تضرعا وخفيه لين انجينا من هذه لنكونن من الشكرين
Say: "God saves you from it, and from every distress; yet you associate."
قل الله ينجيكم منها ومن كل كرب ثم انتم تشركون
Say: "He is capable of raising up against you a punishment, from above you or from beneath your feet, or of embroiling you in factions, and making some of you taste the violence of others."
قل هو القادر علي ان يبعث عليكم عذابا من فوقكم او من تحت ارجلكم او يلبسكم شيعا ويذيق بعضكم باس بعض
Look how We diversify the signs, perhaps they will understand.
انظر كيف نصرف الايت لعلهم يفقهون
But your people have denied it, though it is the truth.
وكذب به قومك وهو الحق
Say: "I am not, for you, a trustee.
قل لست عليكم بوكيل
Every piece of information has its stable place,
لكل نبا مستقر
and you will soon know."
وسوف تعلمون
And when you see those who immerse themselves in Our signs, turn away from them, until they immerse themselves in another discourse.
واذا رايت الذين يخوضون في ايتنا فاعرض عنهم حتي يخوضوا في حديث غيره
And if the Diverter makes you forget, do not remain seated, after this reminder, with the wrongdoing people.
واما ينسينك الشيطن فلا تقعد بعد الذكري مع القوم الظلمين
And nothing of their account is upon those who guard themselves,
وما علي الذين يتقون من حسابهم من شي
except a reminder, perhaps they will guard themselves.
ولكن ذكري لعلهم يتقون
And forsake those who have taken their Law for distraction and play, and whom the present life has deluded.
وذر الذين اتخذوا دينهم لعبا ولهوا وغرتهم الحيوه الدنيا
And remind by it, lest a Self be delivered for what it has earned, having, besides God, neither protector nor intercessor;
وذكر به ان تبسل نفس بما كسبت ليس لها من دون الله ولي ولا شفيع
and even if it offered every compensation, it would not be taken from it.
وان تعدل كل عدل لا يوخذ منها
Those are the ones who will have been delivered for what they have earned; they will have a drink of boiling water and a painful punishment, for having disowned.
اوليك الذين ابسلوا بما كسبوا لهم شراب من حميم وعذاب اليم بما كانوا يكفرون
Say: "Should we invoke, besides God, what neither benefits nor harms us, and be turned back on our heels after God has guided us, like one whom the Diverters have lured on earth, bewildered,
قل اندعوا من دون الله ما لا ينفعنا ولا يضرنا ونرد علي اعقابنا بعد اذ هدينا الله كالذي استهوته الشيطين في الارض حيران
while he has companions who call him to guidance: 'Come to us'?"
له اصحب يدعونه الي الهدي ايتنا
Say: "The guidance of God, that is the guidance; and we have been commanded to be true to the Guardian of all beings alone, and to maintain the Contact, and to guard ourselves toward Him."
قل ان هدي الله هو الهدي وامرنا لنسلم لرب العلمين وان اقيموا الصلوه واتقوه
And it is to Him that you will be gathered.
وهو الذي اليه تحشرون
It is He who created the heavens and the earth in truth,
وهو الذي خلق السموت والارض بالحق
and the day He says: "Be",
ويوم يقول كن
it is.
فيكون
His saying is the truth,
قوله الحق
and to Him belongs the dominion,
وله الملك
the day the Horn is blown.
يوم ينفخ في الصور
The Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is witnessed,
علم الغيب والشهده
He is the Wise, the Intimately Acquainted.
وهو الحكيم الخبير
And when Ibrahim said to his father Azar: "Do you take idols as deities?
واذ قال ابرهيم لابيه ازر اتتخذ اصناما الهه
I see you indeed, you and your people, in manifest error."
اني اريك وقومك في ضلل مبين
Thus did We show Ibrahim the sovereign dominion of the heavens and the earth, that he might be among those who possess certainty.
وكذلك نري ابرهيم ملكوت السموت والارض وليكون من الموقنين
When the night closed in on him, he saw a heavenly body; he said: "This is my guardian";
فلما جن عليه اليل را كوكبا قال هذا ربي
but when it disappeared, he said: "I do not love those that disappear."
فلما افل قال لا احب الافلين
Then, when he saw the moon rising, he said: "This is my guardian";
فلما را القمر بازغا قال هذا ربي
but when it disappeared, he said: "If my Guardian does not guide me, I will certainly be of the people gone astray."
فلما افل قال لين لم يهدني ربي لاكونن من القوم الضالين
Then, when he saw the sun rising, he said: "This is my guardian, this one is greater";
فلما را الشمس بازغه قال هذا ربي هذا اكبر
but when it disappeared, he said: "O my people! I am indeed quit of what you associate.
فلما افلت قال يقوم اني بري مما تشركون
I have set my direction toward the One who originated the heavens and the earth, wholly turned toward Him,
اني وجهت وجهي للذي فطر السموت والارض حنيفا
and I am not among those who associate."
وما انا من المشركين
And his people disputed with him.
وحاجه قومه
He said: "Do you dispute with me about God, when He has guided me?
قال اتحجوني في الله وقد هدين
And I do not fear what you associate with Him, unless my Guardian wills that something happen to me.
ولا اخاف ما تشركون به الا ان يشا ربي شيا
My Guardian embraces all things in His knowledge.
وسع ربي كل شي علما
Will you not then remember?
افلا تتذكرون
And how should I fear what you associate,
وكيف اخاف ما اشركتم
while you do not fear having associated with God that for which He has sent down upon you no authority?
ولا تخافون انكم اشركتم بالله ما لم ينزل به عليكم سلطنا
Which of the two fractions, then, is more worthy of security, if you know?"
فاي الفريقين احق بالامن ان كنتم تعلمون
Those who have believed and have not cloaked their faith in any wrongdoing — those are the ones who have security, and they let themselves be guided.
الذين امنوا ولم يلبسوا ايمنهم بظلم اوليك لهم الامن وهم مهتدون
And that is Our argument, which We gave to Ibrahim against his people.
وتلك حجتنا اتينها ابرهيم علي قومه
We elevate in degrees whom We will.
نرفع درجت من نشا
Your Guardian is indeed Wise, All-Knowing.
ان ربك حكيم عليم
And We bestowed on him Ishaq and Yaacoub;
ووهبنا له اسحق ويعقوب
We guided them both.
كلا هدينا
And Nuh, We had guided him before;
ونوحا هدينا من قبل
and among his descendants, Dawud, Sulayman, Ayyub, Youssof, Moussa, and Harun.
ومن ذريته داود وسليمن وايوب ويوسف وموسي وهرون
Thus do We recompense those who do good.
وكذلك نجزي المحسنين
And Zakariya, Yahya, Issa, and Ilyas —
وزكريا ويحيي وعيسي والياس
all are among those who are sound.
كل من الصلحين
And Isma'il, Al-Yasa', Younes, and Lut —
واسمعيل واليسع ويونس ولوطا
and all of them, We favored above all beings.
وكلا فضلنا علي العلمين
And among their ancestors, their descendants, and their brothers —
ومن ابايهم وذريتهم واخونهم
We elected them, and We guided them to a straight path.
واجتبينهم وهدينهم الي صرط مستقيم
That is the guidance of God, by which He guides whom He wills among His obedient ones.
ذلك هدي الله يهدي به من يشا من عباده
And had they associated, what they were doing would have collapsed for them.
ولو اشركوا لحبط عنهم ما كانوا يعملون
Those are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture, the judgment, and the charge of informing.
اوليك الذين اتينهم الكتب والحكم والنبوه
So if these disown it, We have already entrusted it to a people who are not disowners of it.
فان يكفر بها هولا فقد وكلنا بها قوما ليسوا بها بكفرين
Those are the ones God has guided; model yourself, then, on their guidance.
اوليك الذين هدي الله فبهديهم اقتده
Say: "I do not ask you, for this, any reward.
قل لا اسلكم عليه اجرا
It is only a reminder for all beings."
ان هو الا ذكري للعلمين
They did not measure God with His true measure, when they said: "God has sent nothing down upon a human."
وما قدروا الله حق قدره اذ قالوا ما انزل الله علي بشر من شي
Say: "Who sent down the Scripture that Moussa brought, a light and a guidance for mankind,
قل من انزل الكتب الذي جا به موسي نورا وهدي للناس
which you put on parchments, making some appear and hiding much —
تجعلونه قراطيس تبدونها وتخفون كثيرا
and you were taught what you did not know, neither you nor your ancestors?" Say: "God";
وعلمتم ما لم تعلموا انتم ولا اباوكم قل الله
then forsake them to their vain talk, in which they play.
ثم ذرهم في خوضهم يلعبون
And here is a Scripture We have sent down, blessed, confirming what precedes it, so that you may warn the metropolis of cities and those around it.
وهذا كتب انزلنه مبارك مصدق الذي بين يديه ولتنذر ام القري ومن حولها
Those who believe in the last life believe in it, and they carefully preserve their Contact.
والذين يومنون بالاخره يومنون به وهم علي صلاتهم يحافظون
Who then does more wrong than one who invents a lie against God, or says: "It has been revealed to me", when nothing has been revealed to him, and one who says: "I will send down the like of what God has sent down"?
ومن اظلم ممن افتري علي الله كذبا او قال اوحي الي ولم يوح اليه شي ومن قال سانزل مثل ما انزل الله
And if you could see, when the wrongdoers are in the throes of death, and the Agents stretch out their hands: "Bring forth your Self.
ولو تري اذ الظلمون في غمرت الموت والمليكه باسطوا ايديهم اخرجوا انفسكم
Today, you will be recompensed with the punishment of degradation, for having said about God other than the truth, and for having grown proud before His signs."
اليوم تجزون عذاب الهون بما كنتم تقولون علي الله غير الحق وكنتم عن ايته تستكبرون
Here you have come to Us alone, as We created you the first time, and you have left behind your backs what We had vouchsafed you;
ولقد جيتمونا فردي كما خلقنكم اول مره وتركتم ما خولنكم ورا ظهوركم
and We do not see with you your intercessors, whom you claimed to be associates among you.
وما نري معكم شفعاكم الذين زعمتم انهم فيكم شركوا
The bonds between you are indeed severed, and what you claimed has strayed away from you.
لقد تقطع بينكم وضل عنكم ما كنتم تزعمون
God is He who splits open the seed and the kernel.
ان الله فالق الحب والنوي
He brings forth the living from the dead, and He brings forth the dead from the living.
يخرج الحي من الميت ومخرج الميت من الحي
That is God.
ذلكم الله
How then are you turned away?
فاني توفكون
He who splits open the break of day, and who made the night a rest,
فالق الاصباح وجعل اليل سكنا
and of the sun and the moon, a reckoning.
والشمس والقمر حسبانا
That is the measure set by the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing.
ذلك تقدير العزيز العليم
And it is He who made for you the stars, so that you might guide yourselves by them in the darknesses of land and sea.
وهو الذي جعل لكم النجوم لتهتدوا بها في ظلمت البر والبحر
We have indeed detailed the signs for a people who know.
قد فصلنا الايت لقوم يعلمون
And it is He who brought you into being from a single Self — then a haven and a repository.
وهو الذي انشاكم من نفس وحده فمستقر ومستودع
We have indeed detailed the signs for a people who understand.
قد فصلنا الايت لقوم يفقهون
And it is He who sent down water from the sky, and We brought forth by it the vegetation of every kind, and We brought forth from it a greenery, from which We bring forth grain piled up, and, from the palm tree, from its spathe, bunches within reach, and gardens of vines, the olive and the pomegranate, resembling and not resembling.
وهو الذي انزل من السما ما فاخرجنا به نبات كل شي فاخرجنا منه خضرا نخرج منه حبا متراكبا ومن النخل من طلعها قنوان دانيه وجنت من اعناب والزيتون والرمان مشتبها وغير متشبه
Look at its fruit, when it bears fruit, and its ripening.
انظروا الي ثمره اذا اثمر وينعه
There are surely signs in that for a people who believe.
ان في ذلكم لايت لقوم يومنون
And they have assigned associates to God: the Occulted, though He created them;
وجعلوا لله شركا الجن وخلقهم
and they falsely attributed to Him, without any knowledge, sons and daughters.
وخرقوا له بنين وبنت بغير علم
Glory be to Him! He is far above what they describe.
سبحنه وتعلي عما يصفون
Unprecedented Creator of the heavens and the earth.
بديع السموت والارض
How would He have a child, when He has no consort,
اني يكون له ولد ولم تكن له صحبه
and He created every thing,
وخلق كل شي
and He is All-Knowing of all things?
وهو بكل شي عليم
That is God, your Guardian.
ذلكم الله ربكم
There is no deity but Him,
لا اله الا هو
Creator of all things;
خلق كل شي
obey Him, then.
فاعبدوه
He is, over all things, a trustee.
وهو علي كل شي وكيل
Sights do not overtake Him,
لا تدركه الابصر
but He overtakes sights.
وهو يدرك الابصر
He is the Subtle, the Intimately Acquainted.
وهو اللطيف الخبير
Insights have indeed come to you from your Guardian.
قد جاكم بصاير من ربكم
Whoever sees clearly, it is for himself; and whoever is blind, it is to his own detriment.
فمن ابصر فلنفسه ومن عمي فعليها
And I am not, for you, a preserver.
وما انا عليكم بحفيظ
And thus do We diversify the signs; and so that they say: "You have studied", and so that We may make it clear for a people who know.
وكذلك نصرف الايت وليقولوا درست ولنبينه لقوم يعلمون
Follow what is revealed to you from your Guardian.
اتبع ما اوحي اليك من ربك
There is no deity but Him,
لا اله الا هو
and turn away from those who associate.
واعرض عن المشركين
Had God willed, they would not have associated.
ولو شا الله ما اشركوا
And We have not made you their preserver,
وما جعلنك عليهم حفيظا
and you are not for them a trustee.
وما انت عليهم بوكيل
And do not insult those they invoke besides God, lest they insult God out of hostility, without knowledge.
ولا تسبوا الذين يدعون من دون الله فيسبوا الله عدوا بغير علم
Thus have We embellished, for every community, its work;
كذلك زينا لكل امه عملهم
then to their Guardian will be their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do.
ثم الي ربهم مرجعهم فينبيهم بما كانوا يعملون
And they swore by God, with the utmost strength of their oaths, that if a sign came to them, they would certainly believe in it.
واقسموا بالله جهد ايمنهم لين جاتهم ايه ليومنن بها
Say: "The signs are only with God";
قل انما الايت عند الله
and what makes you sense
وما يشعركم
that when it comes, they will not believe in it?
انها اذا جات لا يومنون
And We turn about their Consciences and their sights, as they did not believe in it the first time, and We forsake them in their immoderation, where they go about blindly.
ونقلب افدتهم وابصرهم كما لم يومنوا به اول مره ونذرهم في طغينهم يعمهون
And even had We sent down to them the Agents, and the dead had spoken to them, and We had gathered before them everything, face to face, they would not have believed, unless God willed it;
ولو اننا نزلنا اليهم المليكه وكلمهم الموتي وحشرنا عليهم كل شي قبلا ما كانوا ليومنوا الا ان يشا الله
but most of them are ignorant.
ولكن اكثرهم يجهلون
And thus have We assigned to every informant an enemy: the diverters among humans and the Occulted, who inspire one another with gilded saying, to delude.
وكذلك جعلنا لكل نبي عدوا شيطين الانس والجن يوحي بعضهم الي بعض زخرف القول غرورا
And had your Guardian willed, they would not have done it;
ولو شا ربك ما فعلوه
forsake them, then, and what they invent.
فذرهم وما يفترون
And so that the Consciences of those who do not believe in the last life may bend toward it, and that they may be satisfied with it, and commit what they are to commit.
ولتصغي اليه افده الذين لا يومنون بالاخره وليرضوه وليقترفوا ما هم مقترفون
Should I then seek a judge other than God, when it is He who sent down to you the Scripture, detailed?
افغير الله ابتغي حكما وهو الذي انزل اليكم الكتب مفصلا
And those to whom We gave the Scripture know that it was sent down from your Guardian in truth;
والذين اتينهم الكتب يعلمون انه منزل من ربك بالحق
so never be among those who contend.
فلا تكونن من الممترين
And the word of your Guardian has been completed, in veracity and in justice.
وتمت كلمت ربك صدقا وعدلا
None can change His words,
لا مبدل لكلمته
and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
وهو السميع العليم
And if you defer to most of those on the earth, they will lead you astray from the way of God.
وان تطع اكثر من في الارض يضلوك عن سبيل الله
They follow nothing but presumption,
ان يتبعون الا الظن
and they do nothing but guess.
وان هم الا يخرصون
Your Guardian indeed knows best who strays from His way,
ان ربك هو اعلم من يضل عن سبيله
and He knows best those who let themselves be guided.
وهو اعلم بالمهتدين
Eat, then, of that over which the name of God has been mentioned, if you are believers in His signs.
فكلوا مما ذكر اسم الله عليه ان كنتم بايته مومنين
And what is with you that you should not eat of that over which the name of God has been mentioned, when He has detailed for you what He has prohibited to you, except what you are compelled to?
وما لكم الا تاكلوا مما ذكر اسم الله عليه وقد فصل لكم ما حرم عليكم الا ما اضطررتم اليه
And many surely lead astray by their emotions, without knowledge.
وان كثيرا ليضلون باهوايهم بغير علم
Your Guardian knows best those who cross the limits.
ان ربك هو اعلم بالمعتدين
And forsake transgression, apparent and hidden.
وذروا ظهر الاثم وباطنه
Those who acquire transgression will indeed be recompensed for what they used to commit.
ان الذين يكسبون الاثم سيجزون بما كانوا يقترفون
And do not eat of that over which the name of God has not been mentioned: it is surely an overstepping.
ولا تاكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عليه وانه لفسق
And the Diverters surely inspire their allies to argue with you;
وان الشيطين ليوحون الي اوليايهم ليجدلوكم
and if you deferred to them, you would surely be among those who associate.
وان اطعتموهم انكم لمشركون
Is he who was dead, and to whom We gave life, and for whom We made a light with which he walks among men, like him whose example is to be in darknesses, unable to emerge from them?
اومن كان ميتا فاحيينه وجعلنا له نورا يمشي به في الناس كمن مثله في الظلمت ليس بخارج منها
Thus were embellished, for those who disown, the deeds they used to do.
كذلك زين للكفرين ما كانوا يعملون
And thus have We placed, in every city, the greatest of its severed, so that they might plot there;
وكذلك جعلنا في كل قريه اكبر مجرميها ليمكروا فيها
but they plot only against themselves, without sensing it.
وما يمكرون الا بانفسهم وما يشعرون
And when a sign comes to them, they say: "We will not believe, until we are given the like of what was given to the messengers of God."
واذا جاتهم ايه قالوا لن نومن حتي نوتي مثل ما اوتي رسل الله
God knows best where to place His message.
الله اعلم حيث يجعل رسالته
A diminishment before God, and a severe punishment, will strike those who cut themselves off, for having plotted.
سيصيب الذين اجرموا صغار عند الله وعذاب شديد بما كانوا يمكرون
Whomever God wants to guide, He opens his chest to being true to God alone;
فمن يرد الله ان يهديه يشرح صدره للاسلم
and whomever He wants to lead astray, He makes his chest narrow and constricted, as if he were ascending into the sky.
ومن يرد ان يضله يجعل صدره ضيقا حرجا كانما يصعد في السما
Thus does God place filth upon those who do not believe.
كذلك يجعل الله الرجس علي الذين لا يومنون
And this is the path of your Guardian, straight.
وهذا صرط ربك مستقيما
We have indeed detailed the signs for a people who remember.
قد فصلنا الايت لقوم يذكرون
They have the Abode of Peace, with their Guardian,
لهم دار السلم عند ربهم
and He is their protector, for what they used to do.
وهو وليهم بما كانوا يعملون
And the day He gathers them all: "O assembly of the Occulted! You have indeed won over many of mankind";
ويوم يحشرهم جميعا يمعشر الجن قد استكثرتم من الانس
and their allies among humans will say: "Our Guardian, we enjoyed one another, and we have reached our term, the one You had set for us."
وقال اولياوهم من الانس ربنا استمتع بعضنا ببعض وبلغنا اجلنا الذي اجلت لنا
He will say: "The Fire is your sojourn, you abide therein eternally" — except what God wills.
قال النار مثويكم خلدين فيها الا ما شا الله
Your Guardian is indeed Wise, All-Knowing.
ان ربك حكيم عليم
And thus do We make the wrongdoers allies to one another, for what they used to earn.
وكذلك نولي بعض الظلمين بعضا بما كانوا يكسبون
"O assembly of the Occulted and humans! Did messengers from among you not come to you, relating My signs to you and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours?"
يمعشر الجن والانس الم ياتكم رسل منكم يقصون عليكم ايتي وينذرونكم لقا يومكم هذا
They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves";
قالوا شهدنا علي انفسنا
and the present life deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disowning.
وغرتهم الحيوه الدنيا وشهدوا علي انفسهم انهم كانوا كفرين
That is because it is not in the nature of your Guardian to annihilate cities wrongfully, while their inhabitants were heedless.
ذلك ان لم يكن ربك مهلك القري بظلم واهلها غفلون
And to each, degrees, according to what they did.
ولكل درجت مما عملوا
And your Guardian is not heedless of what they do.
وما ربك بغفل عما يعملون
And your Guardian is the Self-Sufficient, possessor of benevolence.
وربك الغني ذو الرحمه
If He wills, He makes you disappear, and He makes succeed after you what He wills, as He brought you into being from the descendants of another people.
ان يشا يذهبكم ويستخلف من بعدكم ما يشا كما انشاكم من ذريه قوم اخرين
What is promised to you will surely come,
ان ما توعدون لات
and you will not be able to render Him powerless.
وما انتم بمعجزين
Say: "O my people! Act according to your position; I too am indeed acting.
قل يقوم اعملوا علي مكانتكم اني عامل
You will soon know to whom will belong the outcome of the abode.
فسوف تعلمون من تكون له عقبه الدار
The wrongdoers indeed do not succeed."
انه لا يفلح الظلمون
And they assigned to God, of what He scattered as tilth and cattle, a portion, saying: "This is for God" — according to their claim — "and this is for our associates";
وجعلوا لله مما ذرا من الحرث والانعم نصيبا فقالوا هذا لله بزعمهم وهذا لشركاينا
and what is destined for their associates does not reach God,
فما كان لشركايهم فلا يصل الي الله
while what is destined for God, that reaches their associates.
وما كان لله فهو يصل الي شركايهم
How evil is what they decide!
سا ما يحكمون
And thus have their associates embellished, for many of the associators, the killing of their children, so as to cause their fall and blur their Law for them.
وكذلك زين لكثير من المشركين قتل اولدهم شركاوهم ليردوهم وليلبسوا عليهم دينهم
And had God willed, they would not have done it;
ولو شا الله ما فعلوه
forsake them, then, and what they invent.
فذرهم وما يفترون
And they said: "This is cattle and tilth forbidden: none shall feed on them, except whom we will" — according to their claim — "and cattle whose backs are prohibited", and cattle over which they do not mention the name of God, in invention against Him.
وقالوا هذه انعم وحرث حجر لا يطعمها الا من نشا بزعمهم وانعم حرمت ظهورها وانعم لا يذكرون اسم الله عليها افترا عليه
He will recompense them for what they used to invent.
سيجزيهم بما كانوا يفترون
And they said: "What is in the belly of this cattle belongs exclusively to our males, and is prohibited to our wives";
وقالوا ما في بطون هذه الانعم خالصه لذكورنا ومحرم علي ازوجنا
but if it is a stillborn, they all share in it.
وان يكن ميته فهم فيه شركا
He will recompense them for their attribution.
سيجزيهم وصفهم
He is Wise, All-Knowing.
انه حكيم عليم
They are indeed losers, those who killed their children out of foolishness, without knowledge, and who held as prohibited what God had provided them, in invention against God.
قد خسر الذين قتلوا اولدهم سفها بغير علم وحرموا ما رزقهم الله افترا علي الله
They went astray, and they did not let themselves be guided.
قد ضلوا وما كانوا مهتدين
And it is He who brought into being gardens, trellised and untrellised, as well as the palm tree and crops, of varied fare, and the olive and the pomegranate, resembling and not resembling.
وهو الذي انشا جنت معروشت وغير معروشت والنخل والزرع مختلفا اكله والزيتون والرمان متشبها وغير متشبه
Eat of its fruit, when it bears fruit, and give its due, on the day of its harvest,
كلوا من ثمره اذا اثمر واتوا حقه يوم حصاده
but do not waste:
ولا تسرفوا
He indeed does not love the wasteful.
انه لا يحب المسرفين
And among the cattle, there are the beasts of burden and those of the fleece.
ومن الانعم حموله وفرشا
Eat of what God has provided you,
كلوا مما رزقكم الله
and do not follow the footsteps of the Diverter:
ولا تتبعوا خطوت الشيطن
he is indeed for you a manifest enemy.
انه لكم عدو مبين
Eight, in pairs:
ثمنيه ازوج
of rams and ewes, two, and of goats, two.
من الضان اثنين ومن المعز اثنين
Say: "Is it the two males He has prohibited, or the two females, or what the wombs of the two females contain?
قل الذكرين حرم ام الانثيين اما اشتملت عليه ارحام الانثيين
Inform me with full knowledge, if you are veracious."
نبوني بعلم ان كنتم صدقين
And of massive animals, two, and of cattle, two.
ومن الابل اثنين ومن البقر اثنين
Say: "Is it the two males He has prohibited, or the two females, or what the wombs of the two females contain?
قل الذكرين حرم ام الانثيين اما اشتملت عليه ارحام الانثيين
Or were you witnesses, when God enjoined this upon you?"
ام كنتم شهدا اذ وصيكم الله بهذا
Who then does more wrong than one who invents a lie against God, to lead men astray without knowledge?
فمن اظلم ممن افتري علي الله كذبا ليضل الناس بغير علم
God indeed does not guide the wrongdoing people.
ان الله لا يهدي القوم الظلمين
Say: "I find, in what has been revealed to me, nothing prohibited to one who wants to feed on it, except that it be a dead animal, or spilled blood, or the flesh of swine — for that is filth —
قل لا اجد في ما اوحي الي محرما علي طاعم يطعمه الا ان يكون ميته او دما مسفوحا او لحم خنزير فانه رجس
or an overstepping consecrated to other than God.
او فسقا اهل لغير الله به
But whoever is compelled to it, without being rebellious or crossing the limits — your Guardian is indeed Most-Forgiving, Benevolent."
فمن اضطر غير باغ ولا عاد فان ربك غفور رحيم
And to the Reoriented, We prohibited every bearer of an uncloven hoof: and of cattle and sheep,
وعلي الذين هادوا حرمنا كل ذي ظفر ومن البقر والغنم
We prohibited to them their fats, except what their backs carry, or the entrails, or what is mixed with a bone.
حرمنا عليهم شحومهما الا ما حملت ظهورهما او الحوايا او ما اختلط بعظم
Thus did We recompense them for their iniquity,
ذلك جزينهم ببغيهم
and We are surely veracious.
وانا لصدقون
If they deny you, say then: "Your Guardian is possessor of a vast benevolence,
فان كذبوك فقل ربكم ذو رحمه وسعه
and His rigor will not be turned away from the severed people."
ولا يرد باسه عن القوم المجرمين
Those who have associated will say: "Had God willed, we would not have associated, nor would our ancestors, and we would not have held anything as prohibited."
سيقول الذين اشركوا لو شا الله ما اشركنا ولا اباونا ولا حرمنا من شي
Thus did those before them deny, until they tasted Our rigor.
كذلك كذب الذين من قبلهم حتي ذاقوا باسنا
Say: "Do you have any knowledge, that you could bring forth for us?
قل هل عندكم من علم فتخرجوه لنا
You follow nothing but presumption,
ان تتبعون الا الظن
and you do nothing but guess."
وان انتم الا تخرصون
Say: "To God belongs the conclusive argument.
قل فلله الحجه البلغه
Had He willed, He would have guided you all."
فلو شا لهديكم اجمعين
Say: "Bring your witnesses, those who testify that God has prohibited this."
قل هلم شهداكم الذين يشهدون ان الله حرم هذا
If they testify, do not testify with them,
فان شهدوا فلا تشهد معهم
and do not follow the emotions of those who have denied Our signs, and of those who do not believe in the last life, and who set up equals to their Guardian.
ولا تتبع اهوا الذين كذبوا بايتنا والذين لا يومنون بالاخره وهم بربهم يعدلون
Say: "Come, let me recite what your Guardian has forbidden you: do not associate anything with Him;
قل تعالوا اتل ما حرم ربكم عليكم الا تشركوا به شيا
beneficence toward both parents;
وبالولدين احسنا
and do not kill your children out of penury —
ولا تقتلوا اولدكم من املق
it is We who provide for you, and for them;
نحن نرزقكم واياهم
and do not approach indecencies, apparent or hidden;
ولا تقربوا الفوحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن
and do not kill the Self that God has made inviolable, except by right;
ولا تقتلوا النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحق
that is what He has recommended to you, perhaps you will reason.
ذلكم وصيكم به لعلكم تعقلون
And do not approach the goods of the orphan, except in the best way, until he reaches his full maturity;
ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم الا بالتي هي احسن حتي يبلغ اشده
and give the measure and the balance faithfully, with equity —
واوفوا الكيل والميزان بالقسط
We impose upon no Self except its capacity —
لا نكلف نفسا الا وسعها
and when you say a saying, be just, even toward a relative;
واذا قلتم فاعدلوا ولو كان ذا قربي
and be faithful to the pact of God:
وبعهد الله اوفوا
that is what He has recommended to you, perhaps you will remember.
ذلكم وصيكم به لعلكم تذكرون
And: this is My path, straight; follow it, then,
وان هذا صرطي مستقيما فاتبعوه
and do not follow the ways, which would scatter you away from His way:
ولا تتبعوا السبل فتفرق بكم عن سبيله
that is what He has recommended to you, perhaps you will guard yourselves.
ذلكم وصيكم به لعلكم تتقون
Then We gave Moussa the Scripture, as a completion toward him who does good, as a detail of every thing, as a guidance and a benevolence, perhaps they would believe in the meeting with their Guardian.
ثم اتينا موسي الكتب تماما علي الذي احسن وتفصيلا لكل شي وهدي ورحمه لعلهم بلقا ربهم يومنون
And here is a Scripture We have sent down, blessed; follow it, then, and guard yourselves, perhaps benevolence will be shown to you — lest you say: "The Scripture was sent down only upon two groups before us, and we were indeed heedless of their study", or lest you say: "Had the Scripture been sent down upon us, we would have been better guided than they."
وهذا كتب انزلنه مبارك فاتبعوه واتقوا لعلكم ترحمون ان تقولوا انما انزل الكتب علي طايفتين من قبلنا وان كنا عن دراستهم لغفلين او تقولوا لو انا انزل علينا الكتب لكنا اهدي منهم
A clear proof has thus come to you from your Guardian, as well as a guidance and a benevolence.
فقد جاكم بينه من ربكم وهدي ورحمه
Who then does more wrong than one who has denied the signs of God and veered away from them?
فمن اظلم ممن كذب بايت الله وصدف عنها
We will recompense those who veer away from Our signs with the worst punishment, for having veered away from them.
سنجزي الذين يصدفون عن ايتنا سو العذاب بما كانوا يصدفون
Do they await only that the Agents come to them, or that your Guardian come, or that some signs of your Guardian come?
هل ينظرون الا ان تاتيهم المليكه او ياتي ربك او ياتي بعض ايت ربك
On the day certain signs of your Guardian come, the faith of a Self will not benefit it, if it did not believe before, or acquired, in its faith, no good.
يوم ياتي بعض ايت ربك لا ينفع نفسا ايمنها لم تكن امنت من قبل او كسبت في ايمنها خيرا
Say: "Wait:
قل انتظروا
we are indeed waiting."
انا منتظرون
Indeed, those who have divided their Law and become factions, you are in no way linked to them.
ان الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا لست منهم في شي
Their matter rests only with God,
انما امرهم الي الله
then He will inform them of what they used to do.
ثم ينبيهم بما كانوا يفعلون
Whoever comes with the good deed has a right to ten times its equivalent,
من جا بالحسنه فله عشر امثالها
and whoever comes with the evil deed is recompensed only with its equivalent, without being wronged.
ومن جا بالسييه فلا يجزي الا مثلها وهم لا يظلمون
Say: "My Guardian has indeed guided me to a straight path,
قل انني هديني ربي الي صرط مستقيم
an upright Law, the doctrine of Ibrahim, wholly turned toward God;
دينا قيما مله ابرهيم حنيفا
and he was not among those who associate."
وما كان من المشركين
Say: "My Contact, my beneficent practice, my life, and my death indeed belong to God, Guardian of all beings; no associate to Him.
قل ان صلاتي ونسكي ومحياي ومماتي لله رب العلمين لا شريك له
And that is what I have been commanded,
وبذلك امرت
and I am the first of those true to God alone."
وانا اول المسلمين
Say: "Should I seek a Guardian other than God, when He is the Guardian of every thing?"
قل اغير الله ابغي ربا وهو رب كل شي
And every Self acquires only to its own detriment,
ولا تكسب كل نفس الا عليها
and no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another.
ولا تزر وازره وزر اخري
Then to your Guardian will be your return, and He will inform you of what you used to differ over.
ثم الي ربكم مرجعكم فينبيكم بما كنتم فيه تختلفون
And it is He who made you successors on the earth, and elevated some of you above others in degrees, so as to test you in what He has given you.
وهو الذي جعلكم خليف الارض ورفع بعضكم فوق بعض درجت ليبلوكم في ما اتيكم
Your Guardian is indeed swift in sanction,
ان ربك سريع العقاب
and He is surely Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وانه لغفور رحيم
