Sourate Al-Isra (17) original (rasm)

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Exalted is He who made His obedient one travel by night, from the Forbidden Sanctuary to the farthest sanctuary, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him some of Our signs.i 1

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم سبحن الذي اسري بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام الي المسجد الاقصا الذي بركنا حوله لنريه من ايتنا

Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. 1

انه هو السميع البصير

And We gave Moussa the Scripture, and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel: "Take no one, besides Me, as an agent" — progeny of those We carried with Nuh.i 3

واتينا موسي الكتب وجعلنه هدي لبني اسريل الا تتخذوا من دوني وكيلا ذريه من حملنا مع نوح

He was indeed a grateful the obedient one.i 3

انه كان عبدا شكورا

And We decreed to the Children of Israel, in the Scripture: "You will surely spread corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely rise to an immense arrogance."i 4

وقضينا الي بني اسريل في الكتب لتفسدن في الارض مرتين ولتعلن علوا كبيرا

When 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 dwellings in every direction —i 5

فاذا جا وعد اوليهما بعثنا عليكم عبادا لنا اولي باس شديد فجاسوا خلل الديار

and it was a fulfilled promise. 5

وكان وعدا مفعولا

Then We gave you back the upper hand over them, and supported you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous in ranks. 6

ثم رددنا لكم الكره عليهم وامددنكم بامول وبنين وجعلنكم اكثر نفيرا

If you do well, you do well for yourselves, 7

ان احسنتم احسنتم لانفسكم

and if you do ill, it is against yourselves. 7

وان اساتم فلها

Then, when the promise of the second time came, [We raised up servants] to afflict your faces, to enter the Sanctuary as they had entered it the first time, and to utterly destroy whatever they seized.i 7

فاذا جا وعد الاخره ليسوا وجوهكم وليدخلوا المسجد كما دخلوه اول مره وليتبروا ما علوا تتبيرا

It may be that your Guardian will show you benevolence; 8

عسي ربكم ان يرحمكم

but if you revert, We will revert. 8

وان عدتم عدنا

And We have made Jahannam, for those who deny, an enclosure.i 8

وجعلنا جهنم للكفرين حصيرا

This 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.i 10

ان هذا القران يهدي للتي هي اقوم ويبشر المومنين الذين يعملون الصلحت ان لهم اجرا كبيرا وان الذين لا يومنون بالاخره اعتدنا لهم عذابا اليما

The human being calls for evil with the same haste with which he calls for good, 11

ويدع الانسن بالشر دعاه بالخير

for the human being is hasty. 11

وكان الانسن عجولا

We 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. 12

وجعلنا اليل والنهار ايتين فمحونا ايه اليل وجعلنا ايه النهار مبصره لتبتغوا فضلا من ربكم ولتعلموا عدد السنين والحساب

And everything, We have set out in detail. 12

وكل شي فصلنه تفصيلا

And 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:i 13

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."i 14

اقرا كتبك كفي بنفسك اليوم عليك حسيبا

Whoever lets himself be guided is guided only for himself, 15

من اهتدي فانما يهتدي لنفسه

and whoever goes astray does so only against himself. 15

ومن ضل فانما يضل عليها

No burdened Self will bear the burden of another.i 15

ولا تزر وازره وزر اخري

And We never punish until We have raised up a messenger. 15

وما كنا معذبين حتي نبعث رسولا

And when We wish to destroy a city, We command its privileged ones [to reform], but they overstep within it; so the word comes true against it, and We destroy it utterly.i 16

واذا اردنا ان نهلك قريه امرنا مترفيها ففسقوا فيها فحق عليها القول فدمرنها تدميرا

How many generations have We destroyed after Nuh!i 17

وكم اهلكنا من القرون من بعد نوح

Your Guardian suffices, to know the wrongs of His servants, as Informed and Seeing. 17

وكفي بربك بذنوب عباده خبيرا بصيرا

Whoever wants the hasty [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. 18

من كان يريد العاجله عجلنا له فيها ما نشا لمن نريد ثم جعلنا له جهنم يصليها مذموما مدحورا

And 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. 19

ومن اراد الاخره وسعي لها سعيها وهو مومن فاوليك كان سعيهم مشكورا

To all, We grant — 20

كلا نمد

to these as to those — from your Guardian's gift, 20

هولا وهولا من عطا ربك

and your Guardian's gift is never restricted. 20

وما كان عطا ربك محظورا

See how We have favored some over others; 21

انظر كيف فضلنا بعضهم علي بعض

and the last life is indeed greater in degrees, and greater in preference. 21

وللاخره اكبر درجت واكبر تفضيلا

Do not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would find yourself blamed, abandoned. 22

لا تجعل مع الله الها اخر فتقعد مذموما مخذولا

Your Guardian has decreed that you obey none but Him, 23

وقضي ربك الا تعبدوا الا اياه

and kindness toward one's two parents. 23

وبالولدين احسنا

If either of them, or both, reach old age with you, do not say to them "ugh!" and do not rebuke them, 23

اما يبلغن عندك الكبر احدهما او كلاهما فلا تقل لهما اف ولا تنهرهما

but speak to them a noble word. 23

وقل لهما قولا كريما

And lower for them the wing of humility, out of tenderness, 24

واخفض لهما جناح الذل من الرحمه

and say: "My Guardian, have benevolence on them as they raised me when I was small." 24

وقل رب ارحمهما كما ربياني صغيرا

Your Guardian knows best what is in your Self.i 25

ربكم اعلم بما في نفوسكم

If you are righteous, He is, toward those who turn back to Him, most forgiving. 25

ان تكونوا صلحين فانه كان للاوبين غفورا

And give to the close relative his due, and to the destitute and the traveler on the road,i 26

وات ذا القربي حقه والمسكين وابن السبيل

and do not squander wastefully. 26

ولا تبذر تبذيرا

Those who squander are the brothers of the Diverters,i 27

ان المبذرين كانوا اخون الشيطين

and the Diverter is, toward his Guardian, a great denier.i 27

وكان الشيطن لربه كفورا

And if you must turn away from them, seeking a benevolence from your Guardian that you hope for, then speak to them an easy word. 28

واما تعرضن عنهم ابتغا رحمه من ربك ترجوها فقل لهم قولا ميسورا

Do not keep your hand chained to your neck, nor stretch it out completely, or you would find yourself blamed, overwhelmed with regret. 29

ولا تجعل يدك مغلوله الي عنقك ولا تبسطها كل البسط فتقعد ملوما محسورا

Your Guardian extends provision to whom He wills, and He measures it; 30

ان ربك يبسط الرزق لمن يشا ويقدر

He is, toward His obedient ones, Informed and Seeing. 30

انه كان بعباده خبيرا بصيرا

Do not kill your children for fear of poverty:i 31

ولا تقتلوا اولدكم خشيه املق

it is We who provide for them, as for you. 31

نحن نرزقهم واياكم

Killing them is indeed a great fault. 31

ان قتلهم كان خطا كبيرا

Do not approach fornication: it is an indecency, and what a detestable path!i 32

ولا تقربوا الزني انه كان فحشه وسا سبيلا

And do not kill the Self which God has made sacred, except in truth.i 33

ولا تقتلوا النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحق

Whoever is killed unjustly, We have granted the legal authority [in charge] an authority; but let him not exceed the bound in taking life,i 33

ومن قتل مظلوما فقد جعلنا لوليه سلطنا فلا يسرف في القتل

for he will be helped. 33

انه كان منصورا

Do not approach the orphan's wealth, except in the best manner, until he reaches his full maturity, 34

ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم الا بالتي هي احسن حتي يبلغ اشده

and keep the covenant, 34

واوفوا بالعهد

for the covenant will be questioned. 34

ان العهد كان مسولا

Give full measure when you measure, and weigh with the straight balance: 35

واوفوا الكيل اذا كلتم وزنوا بالقسطاس المستقيم

that is better, and finer in outcome. 35

ذلك خير واحسن تاويلا

Do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge: 36

ولا تقف ما ليس لك به علم

hearing, sight, and the Conscience — of all that, account will be asked.i 36

ان السمع والبصر والفواد كل اوليك كان عنه مسولا

And do not walk upon the earth with insolence: 37

ولا تمش في الارض مرحا

you will never split the earth, nor reach the mountains in height. 37

انك لن تخرق الارض ولن تبلغ الجبال طولا

All that, its evil is, with your Guardian, detestable. 38

كل ذلك كان سييه عند ربك مكروها

That is what your Guardian has revealed to you of wisdom.i 39

ذلك مما اوحي اليك ربك من الحكمه

Do not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would be cast into Jahannam, blamed, driven away. 39

ولا تجعل مع الله الها اخر فتلقي في جهنم ملوما مدحورا

Has your Guardian then favored you with sons, and taken, among the Agents, daughters?i 40

افاصفيكم ربكم بالبنين واتخذ من المليكه انثا

You are indeed uttering an enormous word. 40

انكم لتقولون قولا عظيما

We have indeed diversified, in this Recitation, [Our words] so that they might remember; but it only increases their aversion. 41

ولقد صرفنا في هذا القران ليذكروا وما يزيدهم الا نفورا

Say: "If there were, with Him, deities, as you say, they would then have sought a way to the Holder of the Edifice."i 42

قل لو كان معه الهه كما يقولون اذا لابتغوا الي ذي العرش سبيلا

Glory be to Him, and He is exalted, above what they say, in immense exaltation.i 43

سبحنه وتعلي عما يقولون علوا كبيرا

The seven heavens glorify Him, as does the earth and those within it;i 44

تسبح له السموت السبع والارض ومن فيهن

there is nothing that does not glorify Him in praise, 44

وان من شي الا يسبح بحمده

but you do not understand their glorification. 44

ولكن لا تفقهون تسبيحهم

He is thoughtful, most forgiving.i 44

انه كان حليما غفورا

And when you recite the Recitation, We place between you and those who do not believe in the last life a hidden veil,i 45

واذا قرات القران جعلنا بينك وبين الذين لا يومنون بالاخره حجابا مستورا

and We place over their Cores veils, [preventing them] from understanding it, and in their ears a deafness.i 46

وجعلنا علي قلوبهم اكنه ان يفقهوه وفي اذانهم وقرا

And when you mention your Guardian in the Recitation, Him alone, they turn their backs in aversion.i 46

واذا ذكرت ربك في القران وحده ولوا علي ادبرهم نفورا

We 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."i 47

نحن اعلم بما يستمعون به اذ يستمعون اليك واذ هم نجوي اذ يقول الظلمون ان تتبعون الا رجلا مسحورا

See how they have multiplied examples against you, and so gone astray:i 48

انظر كيف ضربوا لك الامثال فضلوا

so they cannot find a way. 48

فلا يستطيعون سبيلا

And they said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be raised in a new creation?" 49

وقالوا اذا كنا عظما ورفتا انا لمبعوثون خلقا جديدا

Say: "Be stone, or iron, or any creation that looms great in your minds,i 51

قل كونوا حجاره او حديدا او خلقا مما يكبر في صدوركم

They will then say: 'Who will bring us back?' 51

فسيقولون من يعيدنا

Say: 'He who fashioned you the first time.' 51

قل الذي فطركم اول مره

Then they will shake their heads at you and say: 'When will that be?' 51

فسينغضون اليك روسهم ويقولون متي هو

Say: 'It may well be near. 51

قل عسي ان يكون قريبا

The Day He calls you, you will respond in praise of Him, and you will think you had stayed only a little [while]." 52

يوم يدعوكم فتستجيبون بحمده وتظنون ان لبثتم الا قليلا

And tell My obedient ones to say what is best: 53

وقل لعبادي يقولوا التي هي احسن

the Diverter sows discord among them;i 53

ان الشيطن ينزغ بينهم

the Diverter is, to the human being, a declared enemy.i 53

ان الشيطن كان للانسن عدوا مبينا

Your Guardian knows you best; if He wills, He shows you benevolence, and if He wills, He punishes you. 54

ربكم اعلم بكم ان يشا يرحمكم او ان يشا يعذبكم

We have not sent you to be their agent.i 54

وما ارسلنك عليهم وكيلا

Your Guardian knows best those who are in the heavens and the earth. 55

وربك اعلم بمن في السموت والارض

We have indeed favored some prophets over others, and We gave Dawud the Formulary.i 55

ولقد فضلنا بعض النبين علي بعض واتينا داود زبورا

Say: "Invoke those you claim [to be divine] besides Him: they have no power to remove harm from you, nor to divert it." 56

قل ادعوا الذين زعمتم من دونه فلا يملكون كشف الضر عنكم ولا تحويلا

Those 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,i 57

اوليك الذين يدعون يبتغون الي ربهم الوسيله ايهم اقرب ويرجون رحمته ويخافون عذابه

for your Guardian's punishment is indeed to be feared. 57

ان عذاب ربك كان محذورا

There is not a city but We shall destroy it before the Day of Appearance, or punish it with a severe punishment:i 58

وان من قريه الا نحن مهلكوها قبل يوم القيمه او معذبوها عذابا شديدا

that is inscribed in the register.i 58

كان ذلك في الكتب مسطورا

Nothing has kept Us from sending the signs, except that the former peoples denied them. 59

وما منعنا ان نرسل بالايت الا ان كذب بها الاولون

We gave the Depleters [Thamud] the she-camel, as clear evidence, but they wronged her. 59

واتينا ثمود الناقه مبصره فظلموا بها

And We send the signs only as a warning. 59

وما نرسل بالايت الا تخويفا

And [recall] when We told you that your Guardian encompasses the people [in His knowledge] — 60

واذ قلنا لك ان ربك احاط بالناس

We made the vision that We showed you only a trial for the people, as also the cursed tree in this Recitation.i 60

وما جعلنا الريا التي ارينك الا فتنه للناس والشجره الملعونه في القران

And We warn them, but it only increases their immense excess. 60

ونخوفهم فما يزيدهم الا طغينا كبيرا

And [recall] when We said to the Agents: "Prostrate before Adam," they prostrated,i 61

واذ قلنا للمليكه اسجدوا لادم فسجدوا

except the Despairing One [Iblis]: he said: "Shall I prostrate before one You created from clay?"i 61

الا ابليس قال اسجد لمن خلقت طينا

He 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 progeny, except a few."i 62

قال اريتك هذا الذي كرمت علي لين اخرتن الي يوم القيمه لاحتنكن ذريته الا قليلا

He said: "Go! Whoever among them follows you — Jahannam will be your recompense, an abundant recompense.i 63

قال اذهب فمن تبعك منهم فان جهنم جزاوكم جزا موفورا

Rouse, by your voice, whomever you can among them; rally against them your cavalry and your infantry; share with them in wealth and children; and make them promises — 64

واستفزز من استطعت منهم بصوتك واجلب عليهم بخيلك ورجلك وشاركهم في الامول والاولد وعدهم

but the Diverter promises them nothing but delusion.i 64

وما يعدهم الشيطن الا غرورا

Over My obedient ones, you have no authority; 65

ان عبادي ليس لك عليهم سلطن

and your Guardian suffices as agent."i 65

وكفي بربك وكيلا

Your Guardian is the One who makes the vessel glide for you on the sea, so that you may seek His favor. 66

ربكم الذي يزجي لكم الفلك في البحر لتبتغوا من فضله

He is, toward you, full of benevolence. 66

انه كان بكم رحيما

And when harm touches you at sea, those you invoke abandon you, except Him. 67

واذا مسكم الضر في البحر ضل من تدعون الا اياه

Then, when He saves you to dry land, you turn away: 67

فلما نجيكم الي البر اعرضتم

the human being is a great denier.i 67

وكان الانسن كفورا

Are you then sure He will not cause a part of the dry land to swallow you, or send upon you a shower of stones, leaving you then to find no agent? 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 denial, leaving you then to find no one to pursue Us on your behalf?i 69

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 تبيعا

We 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.i 70

ولقد كرمنا بني ادم وحملنهم في البر والبحر ورزقنهم من الطيبت وفضلنهم علي كثير ممن خلقنا تفضيلا

The Day We call every group of people with their reference,i 71

يوم ندعوا كل اناس باممهم

whoever is given his register in his right hand — those will read their register, and not be wronged a hair's breadth.i 71

فمن اوتي كتبه بيمينه فاوليك يقرون كتبهم ولا يظلمون فتيلا

And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the last life, and further astray in path. 72

ومن كان في هذه اعمي فهو في الاخره اعمي واضل سبيلا

They have indeed nearly tried you, [to turn you away] from what We revealed to you, so that you might invent against Us something else; 73

وان كادوا ليفتنونك عن الذي اوحينا اليك لتفتري علينا غيره

and then, they would have taken you as an intimate friend.i 73

واذا لاتخذوك خليلا

And had We not made you firm, you would well nigh have inclined toward them, a little. 74

ولولا ان ثبتنك لقد كدت تركن اليهم شيا قليلا

We 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. 75

اذا لاذقنك ضعف الحيوه وضعف الممات ثم لا تجد لك علينا نصيرا

They have indeed nearly shaken you out of this land, to drive you out of it — 76

وان كادوا ليستفزونك من الارض ليخرجوك منها

and then, they would not have remained after you, except a little.i 76

واذا لا يلبثون خلفك الا قليلا

Such is the constant rule concerning those We sent before you among Our messengers, 77

سنه من قد ارسلنا قبلك من رسلنا

and you will find no change to Our rule. 77

ولا تجد لسنتنا تحويلا

Maintain the Contact from the sun's decline until the darkness of night, and the Recitation of dawn:i 78

اقم الصلوه لدلوك الشمس الي غسق اليل وقران الفجر

the recitation of dawn is indeed witnessed. 78

ان قران الفجر كان مشهودا

And 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. 79

ومن اليل فتهجد به نافله لك عسي ان يبعثك ربك مقاما محمودا

And 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." 80

وقل رب ادخلني مدخل صدق واخرجني مخرج صدق واجعل لي من لدنك سلطنا نصيرا

And say: "The truth has come, and falsehood has vanished: 81

وقل جا الحق وزهق البطل

falsehood is bound to vanish." 81

ان البطل كان زهوقا

And We send down, from this Recitation, that which is healing and benevolence for the believers,i 82

وننزل من القران ما هو شفا ورحمه للمومنين

but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss. 82

ولا يزيد الظلمين الا خسارا

And when We favor the human being with blessings, he turns away and withdraws to his side; 83

واذا انعمنا علي الانسن اعرض ونا بجانبه

and when harm touches him, he is despairing.i 83

واذا مسه الشر كان يوسا

Say: "Each one acts according to his own manner; your Guardian knows best who is best guided in path."i 84

قل كل يعمل علي شاكلته فربكم اعلم بمن هو اهدي سبيلا

And they ask you about the Influx.i 85

ويسلونك عن الروح

Say: "The Influx is of my Guardian's affair; and you have been given of knowledge only a little." 85

قل الروح من امر ربي وما اوتيتم من العلم الا قليلا

And if We willed, We would surely take away what We have revealed to you; then you would find, against Us, no agent for it — except a benevolence from your Guardian.i 87

ولين شينا لنذهبن بالذي اوحينا اليك ثم لا تجد لك به علينا وكيلا الا رحمه من ربك

His favor toward you is indeed immense. 87

ان فضله كان عليك كبيرا

Say: "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."i 88

قل لين اجتمعت الانس والجن علي ان ياتوا بمثل هذا القران لا ياتون بمثله ولو كان بعضهم لبعض ظهيرا

We have indeed diversified for the people, in this Recitation, every kind of example; but most people persisted in nothing but denial.i 89

ولقد صرفنا للناس في هذا القران من كل مثل فابي اكثر الناس الا كفورا

And they said: "We will not believe in you 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 believe even in your ascent until you bring down upon us a register we can read."i 93

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 نقروه

Say: "Exalted is my Guardian! Am I anything but a human being, a messenger?"i 93

قل سبحان ربي هل كنت الا بشرا رسولا

And nothing kept the people from believing, when guidance came to them, except that they said: "Would God have sent a human being as a messenger?" 94

وما منع الناس ان يومنوا اذ جاهم الهدي الا ان قالوا ابعث الله بشرا رسولا

Say: "Had there been on earth Agents walking about in tranquility, We would have sent down to them, from the sky, an Agent, as messenger."i 95

قل لو كان في الارض مليكه يمشون مطمينين لنزلنا عليهم من السما ملكا رسولا

Say: "God suffices as witness between me and you: 96

قل كفي بالله شهيدا بيني وبينكم

He is, toward His obedient ones, Informed and Seeing." 96

انه كان بعباده خبيرا بصيرا

Whoever God guides, he is the rightly guided, 97

ومن يهد الله فهو المهتد

and whoever He lets go astray, you will never find for them allies besides Him. 97

ومن يضلل فلن تجد لهم اوليا من دونه

And We shall gather them, on the Day of Appearance, upon their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf:i 97

ونحشرهم يوم القيمه علي وجوههم عميا وبكما وصما

their refuge will be Jahannam: 97

ماويهم جهنم

every time it dies down, We revive for them the blaze.i 97

كلما خبت زدنهم سعيرا

That is their reward, for having denied Our signs and said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be raised in a new creation?" 98

ذلك جزاوهم بانهم كفروا بايتنا وقالوا اذا كنا عظما ورفتا انا لمبعوثون خلقا جديدا

Have 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? 99

اولم يروا ان الله الذي خلق السموت والارض قادر علي ان يخلق مثلهم وجعل لهم اجلا لا ريب فيه

But the wrongdoers persisted in nothing but denial. 99

فابي الظلمون الا كفورا

Say: "If you possessed the treasures of my Guardian's benevolence, you would then hold them back, for fear of spending." 100

قل لو انتم تملكون خزاين رحمه ربي اذا لامسكتم خشيه الانفاق

The human being is stingy. 100

وكان الانسن قتورا

We have indeed given Moussa nine clear signs:i 101

ولقد اتينا موسي تسع ايت بينت

so ask the Children of Israel: when he came to them, Fir'awn said to him: "I think you are indeed abused by illusion, O Moussa."i 101

فسل بني اسريل اذ جاهم فقال له فرعون اني لاظنك يموسي مسحورا

He said: "You well know that none but the Guardian of the heavens and the earth has sent down these enlightening proofs,i 102

قال لقد علمت ما انزل هولا الا رب السموت والارض بصاير

and I think you are indeed ruined, O Fir'awn."i 102

واني لاظنك يفرعون مثبورا

He then wanted to shake them out of that land; but We drowned him, and all those with him. 103

فاراد ان يستفزهم من الارض فاغرقنه ومن معه جميعا

And We said after him to the Children of Israel: "Dwell in this land," 104

وقلنا من بعده لبني اسريل اسكنوا الارض

then, when the promise of the second time comes, We shall bring you all together, mingled.i 104

فاذا جا وعد الاخره جينا بكم لفيفا

With truth We sent it down, 105

وبالحق انزلنه

and with truth it descended; 105

وبالحق نزل

and We have sent you only as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. 105

وما ارسلنك الا مبشرا ونذيرا

And a Recitation that We have divided, so that you recite it to the people gradually,i 106

وقرانا فرقنه لتقراه علي الناس علي مكث

and We have sent it down by successive stages. 106

ونزلنه تنزيلا

Say: "Believe in it, or do not believe: 107

قل امنوا به او لا تومنوا

those 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 indeed fulfilled.' 108

ان الذين اوتوا العلم من قبله اذا يتلي عليهم يخرون للاذقان سجدا ويقولون سبحن ربنا ان كان وعد ربنا لمفعولا

And they fall on their chins, weeping, and it increases their humility. 109

ويخرون للاذقان يبكون ويزيدهم خشوعا

Say: "Invoke God, or invoke the All-Benevolent: 110

قل ادعوا الله او ادعوا الرحمن

whichever [name] you invoke, to Him belong the most beautiful attributes."i 110

ايا ما تدعوا فله الاسما الحسني

Do not raise your voice too much in your Contact, nor whisper it either: seek, between the two, a path.i 110

ولا تجهر بصلاتك ولا تخافت بها وابتغ بين ذلك سبيلا

And 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," 111

وقل الحمد لله الذي لم يتخذ ولدا ولم يكن له شريك في الملك ولم يكن له ولي من الذل

and proclaim His greatness, fully. 111

وكبره تكبيرا
