التغابن
At-Taghabun
Mutual Deception
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Whatever is in the heavens and on the earth glorifies God.
يسبح لله ما في السموت وما في الارض
To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs the praise,
له الملك وله الحمد
and He is capable of all things.
وهو على كل شىء قدير
It is He who created you, and among you is one who disowns, and among you is a believer.
هو الذي خلقكم فمنكم كافر ومنكم مومن
And God is All-Seeing of what you do.
والله بما تعملون بصير
He created the heavens and the earth in truth, and gave you form, and made your forms excellent,
خلق السموت والارض بالحق وصوركم فاحسن صوركم
and to Him is the destination.
واليه المصير
He knows what is in the heavens and the earth, and He knows what you keep secret and what you disclose.
يعلم ما في السموت والارض ويعلم ما تسرون وما تعلنون
And God is All-Knowing of what the chests contain.
والله عليم بذات الصدور
Has the information not come to you concerning those who disowned before, and tasted the baleful consequences of their conduct, and for them is a painful punishment?
الم ياتكم نبوا الذين كفروا من قبل فذاقوا وبال امرهم ولهم عذاب اليم
That is because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said: "Shall humans guide us?"
ذلك بانه كانت تاتيهم رسلهم بالبينت فقالوا ابشر يهدوننا
So they disowned and turned their backs, and God did without them,
فكفروا وتولوا واستغنى الله
and God is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
والله غني حميد
Those who disown claim that they will never be raised.
زعم الذين كفروا ان لن يبعثوا
Say: "Yes, by my Guardian, you will surely be raised; then you will surely be informed of what you did.
قل بلى وربي لتبعثن ثم لتنبون بما عملتم
And that is easy for God."
وذلك على الله يسير
So believe in God and His messenger, and the light which We have sent down.
فامنوا بالله ورسوله والنور الذي انزلنا
And God is Intimately Acquainted with what you do.
والله بما تعملون خبير
The Day He will bring you together for the Day of Reunion — that is the Day of Mutual Deception.
يوم يجمعكم ليوم الجمع ذلك يوم التغابن
And whoever believes in God and does a sound deed, We will cover for him his misdeeds and admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein eternally, forever.
ومن يومن بالله ويعمل صلحا يكفر عنه سياته ويدخله جنت تجري من تحتها الانهر خلدين فيها ابدا
That is the immense triumph.
ذلك الفوز العظيم
And those who have disowned and denied Our signs — those are the companions of the Fire, abiding therein eternally,
والذين كفروا وكذبوا بايتنا اوليك اصحب النار خلدين فيها
and what an evil destination!
وبيس المصير
No calamity strikes except by the permission of God.
ما اصاب من مصيبة الا باذن الله
And whoever believes in God — He guides his core,
ومن يومن بالله يهد قلبه
and God is All-Knowing of all things.
والله بكل شىء عليم
And defer to God, and defer to the messenger.
واطيعوا الله واطيعوا الرسول
But if you turn your backs, only the clear transmission is incumbent upon Our messenger.
فان توليتم فانما على رسولنا البلغ المبين
God, there is no deity but Him.
الله لا اله الا هو
And it is to God that the believers should entrust themselves.
وعلى الله فليتوكل المومنون
O you who have believed! Among your wives and your children is an enemy to you, so beware of them.
يايها الذين ءامنوا ان من ازوجكم واولدكم عدوا لكم فاحذروهم
But if you overlook, turn the page, and forgive — then indeed God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وان تعفوا وتصفحوا وتغفروا فان الله غفور رحيم
Your goods and your children are but a trial,
انما امولكم واولدكم فتنة
and with God is an immense reward.
والله عنده اجر عظيم
So guard yourselves toward God as much as you are able, and listen, and defer, and spend — it will be good for yourselves.
فاتقوا الله ما استطعتم واسمعوا واطيعوا وانفقوا خيرا لانفسكم
And whoever is protected from the greed of his Self — those are the ones who succeed.
ومن يوق شح نفسه فاوليك هم المفلحون
If you make God a beautiful loan, He will double it for you and forgive you,
ان تقرضوا الله قرضا حسنا يضعفه لكم ويغفر لكم
and God is Most-Grateful, Forbearing.
والله شكور حليم
The Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is witnessed,
علم الغيب والشهدة
the All-Powerful, the Wise.
