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 اسرى بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام الى المسجد الاقصا الذي بركنا حوله لنريه من ءايتناIndeed, 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" — progeny of those We carried with Nuh.
وءاتينا موسى الكتب وجعلنه هدى لبني اسرءيل الا تتخذوا من دوني وكيلا ذرية 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 الى بني اسرءيل 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 dwellings in every direction —
فاذا جاء وعد اولىهما 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 الكرة 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 جاء وعد الءاخرة ليسوا وجوهكم وليدخلوا المسجد كما دخلوه اول مرة وليتبروا ما علوا تتبيراIt may be that your Guardian will show you benevolence;
عسى 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 القرءان يهدي للتي هي اقوم ويبشر المومنين الذين يعملون الصلحت ان لهم اجرا كبيرا وان الذين لا يومنون بالءاخرة اعتدنا لهم عذابا اليماThe human being calls for evil with the same haste with which he calls for good,
ويدع الانسن بالشر دعاءه 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 ءايتين فمحونا ءاية اليل وجعلنا ءاية النهار مبصرة لتبتغوا فضلا من ربكم ولتعلموا عدد السنين والحسابAnd everything, We have set out in detail.
وكل شىء 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 القيمة كتبا يلقىه منشورا"Read your register: today, it suffices that you be your own accountant."
اقرا كتبك كفى بنفسك اليوم عليك حسيباWhoever lets himself be guided is guided only for himself,
من اهتدى 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 وازرة وزر اخرىAnd We never punish until We have raised up a messenger.
وما كنا معذبين حتى نبعث رسولاAnd when We wish to annihilate a city, We command its privileged ones [to reform], but they overstep within it; so the word proves true against it, and We destroy it utterly.
واذا اردنا ان نهلك قرية 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.
وكفى 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 العاجلة عجلنا له فيها ما نشاء لمن نريد ثم جعلنا له جهنم يصلىها 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 الءاخرة وسعى لها سعيها وهو مومن فاوليك كان سعيهم مشكوراTo all, We grant —
كلا نمدto these as to those — from your Guardian's gift,
هولاء وهولاء من عطاء ربكand your Guardian's gift is never restricted.
وما كان عطاء ربك محظوراSee how We have favored some over others;
انظر كيف فضلنا بعضهم على بعضand the last life is indeed greater in degrees, and greater in preference.
وللءاخرة اكبر درجت واكبر تفضيلاDo not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would find yourself blamed, abandoned.
لا تجعل مع الله الها ءاخر فتقعد مذموما مخذولاYour Guardian has decreed that you obey none but Him,
وقضى 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 word.
وقل لهما قولا كريماAnd lower for them the wing of humility, out of tenderness,
واخفض لهما جناح الذل من الرحمةand 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,
وءات ذا القربى 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 word.
واما تعرضن عنهم ابتغاء رحمة 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 مغلولة الى عنقك ولا تبسطها كل البسط فتقعد ملوما محسوراYour Guardian extends provision to whom He wills, and He measures it;
ان ربك يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء 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 خشية 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 path!
ولا تقربوا الزنى انه كان فحشة وساء 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 حتى 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 اوحى اليك ربك من الحكمةDo not place, alongside God, another deity, or you would be cast into Jahannam, blamed, driven away.
ولا تجعل مع الله الها ءاخر فتلقى في جهنم ملوما مدحوراHas your Guardian then favored you with sons, and taken, among the Agents, daughters?
افاصفىكم ربكم بالبنين واتخذ من المليكة انثاYou are surely uttering an immense word.
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 القرءان 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 ءالهة كما يقولون اذا لابتغوا الى ذي العرش سبيلاGlory be to Him, and He is exalted, above what they say, in immense exaltation.
سبحنه وتعلى 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 شىء 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 القرءان جعلنا بينك وبين الذين لا يومنون بالءاخرة حجابا مستوراand We place over their cores coverings, [preventing them] from understanding it, and in their ears a deafness.
وجعلنا على قلوبهم اكنة ان يفقهوه وفي ءاذانهم وقراAnd when you mention your Guardian in the Recitation, Him alone, they turn their backs in aversion.
واذا ذكرت ربك في القرءان وحده ولوا على 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 نجوى 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 اءذا كنا عظما ورفتا اءنا لمبعوثون خلقا جديداSay: "Be stone, or iron, or any creation that looms great in your chests,
قل كونوا حجارة 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 مرةThen they will shake their heads at you and say: 'When will that be?'
فسينغضون اليك رءوسهم ويقولون متى هوSay: 'It may well be near.
قل عسى 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 على بعض وءاتينا 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 الى ربهم الوسيلة 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 قرية الا نحن مهلكوها قبل يوم القيمة 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 بالءايت الا ان كذب بها الاولونWe gave the Depleters [Thamud] the she-camel, as clear evidence, but they wronged her.
وءاتينا ثمود الناقة مبصرة فظلموا بهاAnd We send the signs only as a warning.
وما نرسل بالءايت 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 الرءيا التي ارينك الا فتنة للناس والشجرة الملعونة في القرءانAnd 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 للمليكة اسجدوا لءادم فسجدواexcept the Despairing One [Iblis]: he said: "Shall I prostrate before one You created from clay?"
الا ابليس قال ءاسجد 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 progeny, except a few."
قال ارءيتك هذا الذي كرمت على لين اخرتن الى يوم القيمة 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 جزاء 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."
وكفى 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 نجىكم الى 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 تارة اخرى 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 ءادم وحملنهم في البر والبحر ورزقنهم من الطيبت وفضلنهم على 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 يقرءون كتبهم ولا يظلمون فتيلاAnd whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the last life, and further astray in path.
ومن كان في هذه اعمى فهو في الءاخرة اعمى 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 الحيوة 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,
سنة 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 الصلوة لدلوك الشمس الى غسق اليل وقرءان الفجرthe Recitation of dawn is indeed witnessed.
ان قرءان 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 نافلة لك عسى 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 جاء 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 القرءان ما هو شفاء ورحمة 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 على 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 in path."
قل كل يعمل على شاكلته فربكم اعلم بمن هو اهدى 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 رحمة 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 على ان ياتوا بمثل هذا القرءان 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 القرءان من كل مثل فابى 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 حتى تفجر لنا من الارض ينبوعا او تكون لك جنة من نخيل وعنب فتفجر الانهر خللها تفجيرا او تسقط السماء كما زعمت علينا كسفا او تاتي بالله والمليكة قبيلا او يكون لك بيت من زخرف او ترقى في السماء ولن نومن لرقيك حتى 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 جاءهم الهدى 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 مليكة يمشون مطمينين لنزلنا عليهم من السماء ملكا رسولاSay: "God suffices as witness between me and you:
قل كفى 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 اولياء من دونهAnd We shall gather them, on the Day of Appearance, upon their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf:
ونحشرهم يوم القيمة على وجوههم عميا وبكما وصماtheir refuge will be Jahannam:
ماوىهم 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 اءذا كنا عظما ورفتا اءنا 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 على ان يخلق مثلهم وجعل لهم اجلا لا ريب فيهBut the wrongdoers persisted in nothing but disowning.
فابى 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 رحمة ربي اذا لامسكتم خشية الانفاقThe human being is stingy.
وكان الانسن قتوراWe have indeed given Moussa nine clear signs:
ولقد ءاتينا موسى تسع ءايت 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 اسرءيل اذ جاءهم فقال له فرعون اني لاظنك يموسى 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 هولاء 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 اسرءيل اسكنوا الارضthen, when the promise of the second time comes, We shall bring you all together, mingled.
فاذا جاء وعد الءاخرة 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,
وقرءانا فرقنه لتقراه على الناس على مكثand We have sent it down by successive stages.
ونزلنه تنزيلاSay: "Believe in it, or do not believe:
قل ءامنوا 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 يتلى 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 الاسماء الحسنىDo not raise your voice too much in your Contact, nor whisper it either: seek, between the two, a path.
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
