Glorious Quran

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

1.

أَتَىٰٓ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُوهُ‌ۚ

The Event (the Hour or the punishment of disbelievers and polytheists or the Islamic laws or commandments), ordained by Allah will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it.

سُبۡحَـٰنَهُ ۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ 

Glorified and Exalted be He above all that they associate as partners with Him.

2.

يُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةَ بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۤ

He sends down the angels with inspiration of His Command to whom of His slaves He pleases (saying):

أَنۡ أَنذِرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُ ۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۟ فَٱتَّقُونِ 

"Warn mankind that La ilaha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I), so fear Me (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds).

3.

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ

He has created the heavens and the earth with truth.

تَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ 

High be He Exalted above all they associate as partners with Him.

4.

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ۬ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬   

He has created man from Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge), then behold, this same (man) becomes an open opponent.

5.

وَٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمَ خَلَقَهَا‌ۗ

And the cattle, He has created them for you;

لَڪُمۡ فِيهَا دِفۡءٌ۬ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡڪُلُونَ 

in them there is warmth (warm clothing), and numerous benefits, and of them you eat.

6.

وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسۡرَحُونَ 

And wherein is beauty for you, when you bring them home in the evening, and as you lead them forth to pasture in the morning.

7.

وَتَحۡمِلُ أَثۡقَالَڪُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ۬ لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ بَـٰلِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ ٱلۡأَنفُسِ‌ۚ

And they carry your loads to a land that you could not reach except with great trouble to yourselves.

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬ 

Truly, your Lord is full of Kindness, Most Merciful.

8.

وَٱلۡخَيۡلَ وَٱلۡبِغَالَ وَٱلۡحَمِيرَ لِتَرۡڪَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً۬‌ۚ

And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an adornment.

وَيَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 

And He creates (other) things of which you have no knowledge.

9.

وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَصۡدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنۡهَا جَآٮِٕرٌ۬‌ۚ

And upon Allah is the responsibility to explain the Straight Path (i.e. Islamic Monotheism for mankind i.e. to show them legal and illegal, good and evil things, etc. so, whosoever accepts the guidance, it will be for his own benefit and whosoever goes astray, it will be for his own destruction), but there are ways that turn aside (such as Paganism, Judaism, Christianity, etc.).

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَهَدَٮٰڪُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ 

And had He willed, He would have guided you all (mankind).

10.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً۬‌ۖ

He it is Who sends down water (rain) from the sky;

لَّكُم مِّنۡهُ شَرَابٌ۬ وَمِنۡهُ شَجَرٌ۬ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ   

from it you drink and from it (grows) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture;

11.

يُنۢبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ ٱلزَّرۡعَ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلنَّخِيلَ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَـٰبَ وَمِن ڪُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ‌ۗ

With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَتَفَڪَّرُونَ 

Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought.

12.

وَسَخَّرَ لَڪُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ‌ۖ

And He has subjected to you the night and the day, the sun and the moon;

وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٲتُۢ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۤ‌ۗ

and the stars are subjected by His Command.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَعۡقِلُونَ 

Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.

13.

وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَڪُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٲنُهُ ۥۤ‌ۗ

And whatsoever He has created for you on this earth of varying colours (and qualities from vegetation and fruits, etc. (botanical life) and from animal (zoological life)).

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَذَّڪَّرُونَ 

Verily! In this is a sign for people who remember.

14.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ لِتَأۡڪُلُواْ مِنۡهُ لَحۡمً۬ا طَرِيًّ۬ا وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُواْ مِنۡهُ حِلۡيَةً۬ تَلۡبَسُونَهَا

And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear.

وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّڪُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ 

And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods from place to place) and that you may be grateful.

15.

وَأَلۡقَىٰ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَٲسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِڪُمۡ

And He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you,

وَأَنۡہَـٰرً۬ا وَسُبُلاً۬ لَّعَلَّڪُمۡ تَہۡتَدُونَ   

and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves.

16.

وَعَلَـٰمَـٰتٍ۬‌ۚ

And landmarks (signposts, etc. during the day)

وَبِٱلنَّجۡمِ هُمۡ يَہۡتَدُونَ 

and by the stars (during the night), they (mankind) guide themselves.

17.

أَفَمَن يَخۡلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخۡلُقُ‌ۗ أَفَلَا تَذَڪَّرُونَ   

Is then He, Who creates as one who creates not?

Will you not then remember?

18.

وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحۡصُوهَآ‌ۗ

And if you would count the graces of Allah, never could you be able to count them.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬ 

Truly! Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

19.

وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُونَ 

And Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal.

20.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخۡلُقُونَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا وَهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ 

Those whom they (Al-Mushrikoon) invoke besides Allah have not created anything, but are themselves created.

21.

أَمۡوَٲتٌ غَيۡرُ أَحۡيَآءٍ۬‌ۖ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبۡعَثُونَ 

(They are) dead, lifeless, and they know not when they will be raised up.

22.

إِلَـٰهُكُمۡ إِلَـٰهٌ۬ وَٲحِدٌ۬‌ۚ

Your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but He).

فَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ قُلُوبُہُم مُّنكِرَةٌ۬ وَهُم مُّسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ 

But for those who believe not in the Hereafter, their hearts deny (the faith in the Oneness of Allah), and they are proud.

23.

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُونَ‌ۚ

Certainly, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal.

إِنَّهُ ۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ 

Truly, He likes not the proud.

24.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡ‌ۙ قَالُوٓاْ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ 

And when it is said to them: "What is it that your Lord has sent down (unto Muhammad SAW)?"

They say: "Tales of the men of old!"

25.

لِيَحۡمِلُوٓاْ أَوۡزَارَهُمۡ كَامِلَةً۬ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ‌ۙ وَمِنۡ أَوۡزَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍ‌ۗ

They will bear their own burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, and also of the burdens of those whom they misled without knowledge.

أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ 

Evil indeed is that which they shall bear!

26.

قَدۡ مَڪَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَأَتَى ٱللَّهُ بُنۡيَـٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوَاعِدِ

Those before them indeed plotted, but Allah struck at the foundation of their building,

فَخَرَّ عَلَيۡہِمُ ٱلسَّقۡفُ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَأَتَٮٰهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ   

and then the roof fell down upon them, from above them, and the torment overtook them from directions they did not perceive.

27.

ثُمَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ يُخۡزِيهِمۡ وَيَقُولُ أَيۡنَ شُرَڪَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمۡ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيہِمۡ‌ۚ

Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them and will say: "Where are My (so called) partners concerning whom you used to disagree and dispute (with the believers, by defying and disobeying Allah)?"

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ إِنَّ ٱلۡخِزۡىَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرِينَ   

Those who have been given the knowledge (about the Torment of Allah for the disbelievers) will say: "Verily! Disgrace this Day and misery are upon the disbelievers.

28.

ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّٮٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِہِمۡ‌ۖ

"Those whose lives the angels take while they are doing wrong to themselves (by disbelief and by associating partners in worship with Allah and by committing all kinds of crimes and evil deeds)."

فَأَلۡقَوُاْ ٱلسَّلَمَ مَا ڪُنَّا نَعۡمَلُ مِن سُوٓءِۭ‌ۚ

Then, they will make (false) submission (saying): "We used not to do any evil."

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ   

(The angels will reply):

"Yes! Truly, Allah is All-Knower of what you used to do.

29.

فَٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٲبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيہَا‌ۖ

"So enter the gates of Hell, to abide therein,

فَلَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ   

and indeed, what an evil abode will be for the arrogant."

30.

وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ مَاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡ‌ۚ

And (when) it is said to those who are the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2) "What is it that your Lord has sent down?"

قَالُواْ خَيۡرً۬ا‌ۗ

They say: "That which is good."

لِّلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٌ۬‌ۚ

For those who do good in this world, there is good,

وَلَدَارُ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ خَيۡرٌ۬‌ۚ

and the home of the Hereafter will be better.

وَلَنِعۡمَ دَارُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ   

And excellent indeed will be the home (i.e. Paradise) of the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2).

31.

جَنَّـٰتُ عَدۡنٍ۬ يَدۡخُلُونَہَا تَجۡرِى مِن تَحۡتِہَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ‌ۖ لَهُمۡ فِيہَا مَا يَشَآءُونَ‌ۚ

Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity) which they will enter, under which rivers flow, they will have therein all that they wish.

كَذَٲلِكَ يَجۡزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ   

Thus Allah rewards the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2).

32.

ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّٮٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ‌ۙ يَقُولُونَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ   

Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but Allah Alone) saying (to them): Salamun Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of (the good) which you used to do (in the world)."

33.

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕڪَةُأَوۡ يَأۡتِىَ أَمۡرُ رَبِّكَ‌ۚ

Do they (the disbelievers and polytheists) await but that the angels should come to them (to take away their souls (at death)), or there should come the command (i.e. the torment or the Day of Resurrection) of your Lord?

كَذَٲلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ‌ۚ

Thus did those before them.

وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَـٰكِن ڪَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ   

And Allah wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves.

34.

فَأَصَابَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا عَمِلُواْوَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَہۡزِءُونَ   

Then, the evil results of their deeds overtook them, and that at which they used to mock surrounded them.

35.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىۡءٍ۬

نَّحۡنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىۡءٍ۬‌ۚ

And those who join others in worship with Allah say:

"If Allah had so willed, neither we nor our fathers would have worshipped aught but Him, nor would we have forbidden anything without (Command from) Him."

كَذَٲلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ‌ۚ

So did those before them.

فَهَلۡ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَـٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ   

Then! Are the Messengers charged with anything but to convey clearly the Message?

36.

وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِى ڪُلِّ أُمَّةٍ۬ رَّسُولاً أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ‌ۖ

And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming):

"Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghoot (all false deities, etc. i.e. do not worship Taghoot besides Allah)."

فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ حَقَّتۡ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةُ‌ۚ

Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified.

فَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ   

So travel through the land and see what was the end of those who denied (the truth).

37.

إِن تَحۡرِصۡ عَلَىٰ هُدَٮٰهُمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَہۡدِى مَن يُضِلُّ‌ۖ

If you (O Muhammad SAW) covet for their guidance, then verily Allah guides not those whom He makes to go astray (or none can guide him whom Allah sends astray).

وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ   

And they will have no helpers.

38.

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَـٰنِهِمۡ‌ۙ لَا يَبۡعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُ‌ۚ

And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths, that Allah will not raise up him who dies.

بَلَىٰ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقًّ۬ا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَڪۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ   

Yes, (He will raise them up), a promise (binding) upon Him in truth, but most of mankind know not.

39.

لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّہُمۡ كَانُواْ ڪَـٰذِبِينَ   

In order that He may make manifest to them the truth of that wherein they differ, and that those who disbelieved (in Resurrection, and in the Oneness of Allah) may know that they were liars.

40.

إِنَّمَا قَوۡلُنَا لِشَىۡءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدۡنَـٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُ ۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ   

Verily! Our Word unto a thing when We intend it, is only that We say unto it: "Be!" and it is.

41.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِى ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمۡ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةً۬‌ۖ

And as for those who emigrated for the Cause of Allah, after suffering oppression, We will certainly give them goodly residence in this world,

وَلَأَجۡرُ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُ‌ۚ

but indeed the reward of the Hereafter will be greater,

لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ   

if they but knew!

42.

ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَڪَّلُونَ   

(They are) those who remained patient (in this world for Allah's sake), and put their trust in their Lord (Allah Alone).

43.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالاً۬ نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيۡہِمۡ‌ۚ

And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad SAW) any but men, whom We inspired, (to preach and invite mankind to believe in the Oneness of Allah).

فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ   

So ask of those who know the Scripture (learned men of the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)), if you know not.

44.

بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِ‌ۗ

With clear signs and Books (We sent the Messengers).

وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلذِّڪۡرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيۡہِمۡ وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ   

And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad SAW) the reminder and the advice (the Quran), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought.

45.

أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ

أَن يَخۡسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِہِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ   

Do then those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allah will not sink them into the earth, or that the torment will not seize them from directions they perceive not?

46.

أَوۡ يَأۡخُذَهُمۡ فِى تَقَلُّبِهِمۡ

Or that He may catch them in the midst of their going to and fro (in their jobs),

فَمَا هُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ   

so that there be no escape for them (from Allah's Punishment)?

47.

أَوۡ يَأۡخُذَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٍ۬

Or that He may catch them with gradual wasting (of their wealth and health).

فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ   

Truly! Your Lord is indeed full of Kindness, Most Merciful?

48.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىۡءٍ۬

Have they not observed things that Allah has created,

يَتَفَيَّؤُاْ ظِلَـٰلُهُ ۥ عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَٱلشَّمَآٮِٕلِ سُجَّدً۬ا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمۡ دَٲخِرُونَ   

(how) their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly?

49.

وَلِلَّهِ يَسۡجُدُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ۬ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ   

And to Allah prostate all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, of the live moving creatures and the angels, and they are not proud (i.e. they worship their Lord (Allah) with humility).

50.

يَخَافُونَ رَبَّہُم مِّن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَيَفۡعَلُونَ مَا يُؤۡمَرُونَ ۩

They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded. ۩

51.

وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ إِلَـٰهَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ‌ۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـٰهٌ۬ وَٲحِدٌ۬‌ۖ فَإِيَّـٰىَ فَٱرۡهَبُونِ   

And Allah said (O mankind!): "Take not ilahaeen (two gods in worship, etc.). Verily, He (Allah) is (the) only One Ilah (God). Then, fear Me (Allah) much (and Me (Alone), i.e. be away from all kinds of sins and evil deeds that Allah has forbidden and do all that Allah has ordained and worship none but Allah).

52.

وَلَهُ ۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًا‌ۚ

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and (all that is in) the earth and Ad-Din Wasiba is His ((i.e. perpetual sincere obedience to Allah is obligatory). None has the right to be worshipped but Allah)).

أَفَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ   

Will you then fear any other than Allah?

53.

وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعۡمَةٍ۬ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ

And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from Allah.

ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيۡهِ تَجۡـَٔرُونَ   

Then, when harm touches you, unto Him you cry aloud for help.

54.

ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ ٱلضُّرَّ عَنكُمۡ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ۬ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّہِمۡ يُشۡرِكُونَ   

Then, when He has removed the harm from you, behold! Some of you associate others in worship with their Lord (Allah).

55.

لِيَكۡفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمۡ‌ۚ

So (as a result of that ) they deny (with ungratefulness) that (Allah's Favours) which We have bestowed on them!

فَتَمَتَّعُواْ‌ۖ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ   

Then enjoy yourselves (your short stay), but you will come to know (with regrets).

56.

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ نَصِيبً۬ا مِّمَّا رَزَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ

And they assign a portion of that which We have provided them unto what they know not (false deities).

تَٱللَّهِ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمۡ تَفۡتَرُونَ  

By Allah, you shall certainly be questioned about (all) that you used to fabricate.

57.

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡبَنَـٰتِ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُ ۥ‌ۙ وَلَهُم مَّا يَشۡتَہُونَ   

And they assign daughters unto Allah! Glorified (and Exalted) be He above all that they associate with Him! . And unto themselves what they desire;

58.

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجۡهُهُ ۥ مُسۡوَدًّ۬ا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ۬   

And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief!

59.

يَتَوَٲرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦۤ‌

He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed.

أَيُمۡسِكُهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمۡ يَدُسُّهُ ۥ فِى ٱلتُّرَابِ‌ۗ

Shall he keep her with dishonour or bury her in the earth?

أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ   

Certainly, evil is their decision.

60.

لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ مَثَلُ ٱلسَّوۡءِ‌ۖ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡمَثَلُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ‌ۚ

For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil description, and for Allah is the highest description.

وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ   

And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

61.

وَلَوۡ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِظُلۡمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيۡہَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ۬

And if Allah were to seize mankind for their wrong-doing, He would not leave on it (the earth) a single moving (living) creature,

وَلَـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ۬ مُّسَمًّ۬ى‌ۖ

but He postpones them for an appointed term

فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةً۬‌ۖ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ   

and when their term comes, neither can they delay nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment).

62.

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكۡرَهُونَ

They assign to Allah that which they dislike (for themselves),

وَتَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُهُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ‌ۖ

and their tongues assert the falsehood that the better things will be theirs.

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَأَنَّہُم مُّفۡرَطُونَ   

No doubt for them is the Fire, and they will be the first to be hastened on into it, and left there neglected.

(Tafsir Al-Qurtubee, Vol.10, Page 121)

63.

تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ۬ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ

By Allah, We indeed sent (Messengers) to the nations before you (O Muhammad SAW), but Shaitan (Satan) made their deeds fair-seeming to them.

فَهُوَ وَلِيُّہُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ۬   

So he (Satan) is their Wali (helper) today (i.e. in this world), and theirs will be a painful torment.

64.

وَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ‌ۙ وَهُدً۬ى وَرَحۡمَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يُؤۡمِنُونَ   

And We have not sent down the Book (the Quran) to you (O Muhammad SAW), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe.

65.

وَٱللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً۬ فَأَحۡيَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِہَآ‌ۚ

And Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, then He revives the earth therewith after its death.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَسۡمَعُونَ   

Verily, in this is a sign (clear proof) for people who listen (obey Allah).

66.

وَإِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ لَعِبۡرَةً۬‌ۖ

And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you.

نُّسۡقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهِۦ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ فَرۡثٍ۬ وَدَمٍ۬ لَّبَنًا خَالِصً۬اسَآٮِٕغً۬ا لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ   

We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers.

67.

وَمِن ثَمَرَٲتِ ٱلنَّخِيلِ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَـٰبِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنۡهُ سَڪَرً۬ا وَرِزۡقًا حَسَنًا‌ۗ

And from the fruits of date-palms and grapes, you derive strong drink (this was before the order of the prohibition of the alcoholic drinks) and a goodly provision.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَعۡقِلُونَ   

Verily, therein is indeed a sign for people who have wisdom.

68.

وَأَوۡحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحۡلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِى مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتً۬ا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعۡرِشُونَ   

And your Lord inspired the bee, saying:

"Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.

69.

ثُمَّ كُلِى مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ فَٱسۡلُكِى سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلاً۬‌ۚ

"Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)."

يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ۬ مُّخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٲنُهُ ۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٌ۬ لِّلنَّاسِ‌ۗ

There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ   

Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think.

70.

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّٮٰكُمۡ‌ۚ

And Allah has created you and then He will cause you to die,

وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرۡذَلِ ٱلۡعُمُرِ لِكَىۡ لَا يَعۡلَمَ بَعۡدَ عِلۡمٍ۬ شَيۡـًٔا‌ۚ

and of you there are some who are sent back to senility, so that they know nothing after having known (much).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ۬ قَدِيرٌ۬   

Truly! Allah is All- Knowing, All-Powerful.

71.

وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ۬ فِى ٱلرِّزۡقِ‌ۚ

And Allah has preferred some of you above others in wealth and properties.

فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُواْ بِرَآدِّى رِزۡقِهِمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَڪَتۡ أَيۡمَـٰنُہُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌ‌ۚ

Then, those who are preferred will by no means hand over their wealth and properties to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect thereof.

أَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجۡحَدُونَ   

Do they then deny the Favour of Allah?

72.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٲجً۬ا

And Allah has made for you wives of your own kind,

وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٲجِڪُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً۬ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ‌ۚ

and has made for you, from your wives, sons and grandsons, and has bestowed on you good provision.

أَفَبِٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ وَبِنِعۡمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمۡ يَكۡفُرُونَ   

Do they then believe in false deities and deny the Favour of Allah (by not worshipping Allah Alone).

73.

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا وَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ   

And they worship others besides Allah, such as do not and cannot own any provision for them from the heavens or the earth.

74.

فَلَا تَضۡرِبُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ‌ۚ

So put not forward similitudes for Allah (as there is nothing similar to Him, nor He resembles anything).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ   

Truly! Allah knows and you know not.

75.

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً

Allah puts forward the example (of two men a believer and a disbeliever);

عَبۡدً۬ا مَّمۡلُوكً۬ا لَّا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ۬

a slave (disbeliever) under the possession of another, he has no power of any sort,

وَمَن رَّزَقۡنَـٰهُ مِنَّا رِزۡقًا حَسَنً۬ا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنۡهُ سِرًّ۬ا وَجَهۡرًا‌ۖ

and (the other), a man (believer) on whom We have bestowed a good provision from Us, and He spends thereof secretly and openly.

هَلۡ يَسۡتَوُ ۥنَ‌ۚ

Can they be equal? (By no means, not).

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ‌ۚ

All the praises and thanks be to Allah.

بَلۡ أَڪۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ   

Nay! (But) most of them know not.

76.

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً۬ رَّجُلَيۡنِ

And Allah puts forward (another) example of two men,

أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبۡڪَمُ لَا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ۬وَهُوَ ڪَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوۡلَٮٰهُ أَيۡنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأۡتِ بِخَيۡرٍ‌ۖ

one of them dumb, who has no power over anything (disbeliever), and he is a burden to his master, whichever way he directs him, he brings no good.

هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِى هُوَ وَمَن يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ‌ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬   

Is such a man equal to one (believer in the Islamic Monotheism) who commands justice, and is himself on a Straight Path?

77.

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ

And to Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth.

وَمَآ أَمۡرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمۡحِ ٱلۡبَصَرِ أَوۡ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُ‌ۚ

And the matter of the Hour is not but as a twinkling of the eye, or even nearer.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ ڪُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ قَدِيرٌ۬   

Truly! Allah is Able to do all things.

78.

وَٱللَّهُ أَخۡرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا

And Allah has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing.

وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَ‌ۙ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ   

And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allah).

79.

أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيۡرِ مُسَخَّرَٲتٍ۬ فِى جَوِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَا يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ‌ۗ

Do they not see the birds held (flying) in the midst of the sky?

None holds them but Allah (none gave them the ability to fly but Allah).

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يُؤۡمِنُونَ   

Verily, in this are clear proofs and signs for people who believe (in the Oneness of Allah).

80.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۢ بُيُوتِڪُمۡ سَكَنً۬ا

And Allah has made for you in your homes an abode,

وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ بُيُوتً۬اتَسۡتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوۡمَ ظَعۡنِكُمۡ وَيَوۡمَ إِقَامَتِڪُمۡ‌ۙ

and made for you out of the hides of the cattle (tents for) dwelling, which you find so light (and handy) when you travel and when you stay (in your travels),

وَمِنۡ أَصۡوَافِهَا وَأَوۡبَارِهَا وَأَشۡعَارِهَآ أَثَـٰثً۬ا وَمَتَـٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ۬   

and of their wool, fur, and hair (sheep wool, camel fur, and goat hair), a furnishing and articles of convenience (e.g. carpets, blankets, etc.), a comfort for a while.

81.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَـٰلاً۬ وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ أَڪۡنَـٰنً۬ا

And Allah has made for you out of that which He has created shades, and has made for you places of refuge in the mountains,

وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ سَرَٲبِيلَ تَقِيڪُمُ ٱلۡحَرَّوَسَرَٲبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأۡسَڪُمۡ‌ۚ

and has made for you garments to protect you from the heat (and cold), and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence.

كَذَٲلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهُ ۥ عَلَيۡڪُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡلِمُونَ   

Thus does He perfect His Grace unto you, that you may submit yourselves to His Will (in Islam).

82.

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ   

Then, if they turn away, your duty (O Muhammad SAW) is only to convey (the Message) in a clear way.

83.

يَعۡرِفُونَ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنڪِرُونَہَاوَأَڪۡثَرُهُمُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ   

They recognise the Grace of Allah, yet they deny it (by worshipping others besides Allah) and most of them are disbelievers (deny the Prophethood of Muhammad SAW).

84.

وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ۬ شَهِيدً۬ا

And (remember) the Day when We shall raise up from each nation a witness (their Messenger),

ثُمَّ لَا يُؤۡذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ ڪَفَرُواْ وَلَا هُمۡ يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ   

then, those who have disbelieved will not be given leave (to put forward excuses), nor will they be allowed (to return to the world) to repent and ask for Allah's Forgiveness (of their sins, etc.).

85.

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡہُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ   

And when those who did wrong (the disbelievers) will see the torment, then it will not be lightened unto them, nor will they be given respite.

86.

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ شُرَڪَآءَهُمۡ

And when those who associated partners with Allah see their (Allah's so-called) partners,

قَالُواْرَبَّنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُرَڪَآؤُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِكَ‌ۖ

they will say: "Our Lord! These are our partners whom we used to invoke besides you."

فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ إِنَّكُمۡ لَڪَـٰذِبُونَ   

But they will throw back their word at them (and say): "Surely! You indeed are liars!"

87.

وَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَ‌ۖ

And they will offer (their full) submission to Allah (Alone) on that Day,

وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ   

and their invented false deities (all that they used to invoke besides Allah, e.g. idols, saints, priests, monks, angels, jinns, Jibrael (Gabriel), Messengers, etc.) will vanish from them.

88.

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدۡنَـٰهُمۡ عَذَابً۬ا فَوۡقَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ بِمَا ڪَانُواْ يُفۡسِدُونَ  

Those who disbelieved and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, for them We will add torment over the torment; because they used to spread corruption (by disobeying Allah themselves, as well as ordering others (mankind) to do so).

89.

وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ۬ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡهِم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِہِمۡ‌ۖ

And (remember) the Day when We shall raise up from every nation a witness against them from amongst themselves.

وَجِئۡنَا بِكَ شَہِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ‌ۚ

And We shall bring you (O Muhammad SAW) as a witness against these.

وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ تِبۡيَـٰنً۬ا لِّكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬

And We have sent down to you the Book (the Quran) as an exposition of everything,

وَهُدً۬ى وَرَحۡمَةً۬ وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ   

a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves (to Allah as Muslims).

90.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَٱلۡإِحۡسَـٰنِ وَإِيتَآىِٕ ذِى ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ

Verily, Allah enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and worshipping none but Allah Alone - Islamic Monotheism) and Al-Ihsan (i.e. to be patient in performing your duties to Allah, totally for Allahs sake and in accordance with the Sunnah (legal ways) of the Prophet SAW in a perfect manner), and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that Allah has ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of help, etc.):

وَيَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنڪَرِ وَٱلۡبَغۡىِ‌ۚ

and forbids Al-Fahsha (i.e all evil deeds, e.g. illegal sexual acts, disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, to kill a life without right, etc.), and Al-Munkar (i.e all that is prohibited by Islamic law: polytheism of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all kinds of oppression),

يَعِظُكُمۡ لَعَلَّڪُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ   

He admonishes you, that you may take heed.

91.

وَأَوۡفُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَـٰهَدتُّمۡ

And fulfill the Covenant of Allah (Baia: pledge for Islam) when you have covenanted,

وَلَا تَنقُضُواْ ٱلۡأَيۡمَـٰنَ بَعۡدَ تَوۡڪِيدِهَا وَقَدۡ جَعَلۡتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيۡڪُمۡ كَفِيلاً‌ۚ

and break not the oaths after you have confirmed them, and indeed you have appointed Allah your surety.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ   

Verily! Allah knows what you do.

92.

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّتِى نَقَضَتۡ غَزۡلَهَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنڪَـٰثً۬ا

And be not like her who undoes the thread which she has spun after it has become strong,

تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيۡمَـٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلاَۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِىَ أَرۡبَىٰ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ‌ۚ

by taking your oaths a means of deception among yourselves, lest a nation may be more numerous than another nation.

إِنَّمَا يَبۡلُوڪُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ‌ۚ

Allah only tests you by this (i.e who obeys Allah and fulfills Allah's Covenant and who disobeys Allah and breaks Allah's Covenant).

وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ   

And on the Day of Resurrection, He will certainly make clear to you that wherein you used to differ.

(i.e. a believer confesses and believes in the Oneness of Allah and in the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad SAW which the disbeliever denies it and that was their difference amongst them in the life of this world)

93.

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَڪُمۡ أُمَّةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ وَلَـٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِى مَن يَشَآءُ‌ۚ

And had Allah willed, He could have made you (all) one nation, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.

وَلَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ   

But you shall certainly be called to account for what you used to do.

94.

وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ أَيۡمَـٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلاَۢ بَيۡنَڪُمۡ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمُۢ بَعۡدَ ثُبُوتِہَا

And make not your oaths, a means of deception among yourselves, lest a foot may slip after being firmly planted,

وَتَذُوقُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمۡ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ وَلَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ۬   

and you may have to taste the evil (punishment in this world) of having hindered (men) from the Path of Allah (i.e. Belief in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad SAW), and yours will be a great torment (i.e. the Fire of Hell in the Hereafter).

95.

وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنً۬ا قَلِيلاً‌ۚ

And purchase not a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant.

إِنَّمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٌ۬ لَّكُمۡ إِن ڪُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ   

Verily! What is with Allah is better for you if you did but know.

96.

مَا عِندَكُمۡ يَنفَدُ‌ۖ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَاقٍ۬‌ۗ

Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever with Allah (of good deeds) will remain.

وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوٓاْ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا ڪَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ   

And those who are patient, We will certainly pay them a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do.

97.

مَنۡ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحً۬ا مِّن ذَڪَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ۬ فَلَنُحۡيِيَنَّهُ ۥ حَيَوٰةً۬ طَيِّبَةً۬‌ۖ

Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision),

وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا ڪَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ   

and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter).

98.

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ   

So when you want to recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one).

99.

إِنَّهُ ۥ لَيۡسَ لَهُ ۥ سُلۡطَـٰنٌ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَڪَّلُونَ   

Verily! He has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord (Allah).

100.

إِنَّمَا سُلۡطَـٰنُهُ ۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَهُ ۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشۡرِكُونَ   

His power is only over those who obey and follow him (Satan), and those who join partners with Him (Allah) (i.e. those who are Mushrikoon - polytheists - see Verse 6:121).

101.

وَإِذَا بَدَّلۡنَآ ءَايَةً۬ مَّڪَانَ ءَايَةٍ۬‌ۙ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفۡتَرِۭ‌ۚ

And when We change a Verse (of the Quran, i.e. cancel (abrogate) its order) in place of another, and Allah knows the best of what He sends down, they (the disbelievers) say: "You (O Muhammad SAW) are but a Muftari! (forger, liar)."

بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ   

Nay, but most of them know not.

102.

قُلۡ نَزَّلَهُ ۥ رُوحُ ٱلۡقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْوَهُدً۬ى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ   

Say (O Muhammad SAW) Ruh-ul-Qudus (Jibrael (Gabriel)) has brought it (the Quran) down from your Lord with truth, that it may make firm and strengthen (the Faith of) those who believe and as a guidance and glad tidings to those who have submitted (to Allah as Muslims).

103.

وَلَقَدۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ ۥ بَشَرٌ۬‌ۗ

And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: "It is only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad SAW)."

لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِى يُلۡحِدُونَ إِلَيۡهِ أَعۡجَمِىٌّ۬ وَهَـٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِىٌّ۬ مُّبِينٌ   

The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Quran) is a clear Arabic tongue.

104.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَہۡدِيہِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ   

Verily! Those who believe not in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, Allah will not guide them and theirs will be a painful torment.

105.

إِنَّمَا يَفۡتَرِى ٱلۡكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ

It is only those who believe not in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, who fabricate falsehood,

وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡڪَـٰذِبُونَ   

and it is they who are liars.

106.

مَن ڪَفَرَ بِٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ إِيمَـٰنِهِۦۤ إِلَّا مَنۡ أُڪۡرِهَ وَقَلۡبُهُ ۥ مُطۡمَٮِٕنُّۢ بِٱلۡإِيمَـٰنِ

Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with Faith

وَلَـٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ صَدۡرً۬افَعَلَيۡهِمۡ غَضَبٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ۬   

but such as open their breasts to disbelief, on them is wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a great torment.

107.

ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ

That is because they loved and preferred the life of this world over that of the Hereafter.

وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرِينَ   

And Allah guides not the people who disbelieve.

108.

أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ وَسَمۡعِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصَـٰرِهِمۡ‌ۖ

They are those upon whose hearts, hearing (ears) and sight (eyes) Allah has set a seal.

وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰفِلُونَ   

And they are the heedless!

109.

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ   

No doubt, in the Hereafter, they will be the losers.

110.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا فُتِنُواْ

Then, verily! Your Lord for those who emigrated after they had been put to trials

ثُمَّ جَـٰهَدُواْ وَصَبَرُوٓاْ

and thereafter strove hard and fought (for the Cause of Allah) and were patient,

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬   

verily, your Lord afterward is, Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.

111.

يَوۡمَ تَأۡتِى ڪُلُّ نَفۡسٍ۬ تُجَـٰدِلُ عَن نَّفۡسِہَاوَتُوَفَّىٰ ڪُلُّ نَفۡسٍ۬ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ   

(Remember) the Day when every person will come up pleading for himself, and every one will be paid in full for what he did (good or evil, belief or disbelief in the life of this world) and they will not be dealt with unjustly.

112.

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً۬ قَرۡيَةً۬

And Allah puts forward the example of a township (Makkah),

ڪَانَتۡ ءَامِنَةً۬ مُّطۡمَٮِٕنَّةً۬ يَأۡتِيهَا رِزۡقُهَا رَغَدً۬ا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ۬

that dwelt secure and well content; its provision coming to it in abundance from every place,

فَڪَفَرَتۡ بِأَنۡعُمِ ٱللَّهِ

but it (its people) denied the Favours of Allah (with ungratefulness).

فَأَذَٲقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلۡجُوعِ وَٱلۡخَوۡفِ بِمَا ڪَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ   

So Allah made it taste the extreme of hunger (famine) andfear, because of that (evil, i.e. denying Prophet Muhammad SAW) which they (its people) used to do.

113.

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٌ۬ مِّنۡہُمۡ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَهُمۡ ظَـٰلِمُونَ   

And verily, there had come unto them a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from among themselves, but they denied him, so the torment overtook them while they were Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.).

114.

فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَڪُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَـٰلاً۬ طَيِّبً۬ا

So eat of the lawful and good food which Allah has provided for you.

وَٱشۡڪُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ إِيَّاهُ تَعۡبُدُونَ   

And be grateful for the Graces of Allah, if it is He Whom you worship.

115.

إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡڪُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحۡمَ ٱلۡخِنزِيرِوَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ‌ۖ

He has forbidden you only

-          Al-Maytatah (meat of a dead animal),

-          blood, the flesh of swine,

-          and any animal which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols etc. or on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering).

فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ غَيۡرَ بَاغٍ۬ وَلَا عَادٍ۬ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬   

But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, and not transgressing, then, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

116.

وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُڪُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ هَـٰذَا حَلَـٰلٌ۬ وَهَـٰذَا حَرَامٌ۬ لِّتَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ‌ۚ

And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely: "This is lawful and this is forbidden," so as to invent lies against Allah.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ لَا يُفۡلِحُونَ   

Verily, those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper.

117.

مَتَـٰعٌ۬ قَلِيلٌ۬ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ۬ 

A passing brief enjoyment (will be theirs), but they will have a painful torment.

118.

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا مَا قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ مِن قَبۡلُ‌ۖ

And unto those who are Jews, We have forbidden such things as We have mentioned to you (O Muhammad SAW) before (in Soorat-Al-Anam, (The Cattle), see Verse 6:146).

وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَـٰهُمۡ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَہُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ   

And We wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves.

119.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَـٰلَةٍ۬ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٲلِكَ وَأَصۡلَحُوٓاْ

Then, verily! Your Lord for those who do evil (commit sins and are disobedient to Allah) in ignorance and afterward repent and do righteous deeds,

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ   

verily, your Lord thereafter, (to such) is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.

120.

إِنَّ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً۬ قَانِتً۬ا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفً۬ا

Verily, Ibrahim (Abraham) was an Ummah (a leader having all the good righteous qualities), or a nation, obedient to Allah, Hanifa (i.e. to worship none but Allah),

وَلَمۡ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ   

and he was not one of those who were Al-Mushrikoon (polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and those who joined partners with Allah).

121.

شَاڪِرً۬ا لِّأَنۡعُمِهِ‌ۚ

(He was) thankful for His (Allah's) Graces.

ٱجۡتَبَٮٰهُ وَهَدَٮٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬   

He (Allah) chose him (as an intimate friend) and guided him to a Straight Path (Islamic Monotheism, neither Judaism nor Christianity).

122.

وَءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةً۬‌ۖ

And We gave him good in this world,

وَإِنَّهُ ۥ فِى ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ   

and in the Hereafter he shall be of the righteous.

123.

ثُمَّ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعۡ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ حَنِيفً۬ا‌ۖ

Then, We have inspired you (O Muhammad SAW saying): "Follow the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham) Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism - to worship none but Allah)

وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِڪِينَ   

and he was not of the Mushrikoon (polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers, etc.).

124.

إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبۡتُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ‌ۚ

he Sabbath was only prescribed for those who differed concerning it,

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَہُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا ڪَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ   

and verily, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.

125.

ٱدۡعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ وَٱلۡمَوۡعِظَةِ ٱلۡحَسَنَةِ‌ۖ

Invite (mankind, O Muhammad SAW) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Quran) and fair preaching,

وَجَـٰدِلۡهُم بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحۡسَنُ‌ۚ

and argue with them in a way that is better.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ‌ۖ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ   

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.

126.

وَإِنۡ عَاقَبۡتُمۡ فَعَاقِبُواْ بِمِثۡلِ مَا عُوقِبۡتُم بِهِۦ‌ۖ

And if you punish (your enemy, O you believers in the Oneness of Allah), then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted.

وَلَٮِٕن صَبَرۡتُمۡ لَهُوَ خَيۡرٌ۬ لِّلصَّـٰبِرِينَ  

But if you endure patiently, verily, it is better for As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

127.

وَٱصۡبِرۡ وَمَا صَبۡرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ‌ۚ

And endure you patiently (O Muhammad SAW), your patience is not but from Allah.

وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا تَكُ فِى ضَيۡقٍ۬ مِّمَّا يَمۡڪُرُونَ   

And grieve not over them (polytheists and pagans, etc.), and be not distressed because of what they plot.

128.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحۡسِنُونَ   

Truly, Allah is with those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him), and those who are Muhsinoon (good-doers, - see the footnote of V.9:120).
