Quran with English TranslationSurah Al FurqanTranslator Abdullah Yusuf Ali |
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1 |
Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures -- |
2 |
He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth:
|
3 |
Yet have they taken, besides Him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created;
|
4 |
But the Misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it."
|
5 |
And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening." |
6 |
Say: "This (Qur'án) was sent down by Him Who knows the Mystery (that is) in the heavens and the earth: verily He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." |
7 |
And they say: |
8 |
"Or (why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him,
|
9 |
See what kinds of companions they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find! |
10 |
Blessed is He Who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those -- Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee Palaces (secure to dwell in). |
11 |
Nay, they deny the Hour (of the Judgment to come): but We have prepared a Blazing Fire for such as deny the Hour: |
12 |
When it sees them from a place far off, they will hear its fury and its raging sigh. |
13 |
And when they are cast, bound together, into a constricted place therein, they will plead for destruction there and then! |
14 |
"This day plead not for a single destruction: plead for destruction oft-repeated!" |
15 |
Say: |
16 |
"For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye:
|
17 |
The Day He will gather them together as well as those whom they worship besides Allah,
|
18 |
They will say: |
19 |
(Allah will say): "Now have they proved you liars in what ye say: so ye cannot avert (your penalty) nor (get) help."
|
20 |
And the messengers whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets:
|
21 |
Such as fear not the meeting with Us (for Judgment) say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or (why) do we not see our Lord?"
|
22 |
The Day they see the angels -- no joy will there be to the sinners that Day: the (angels) will say: "There is a barrier forbidden (to you) altogether!" |
23 |
And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in this life), and We shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about. |
24 |
The Companions of the Garden will be well, that Day, in their abode, and have the fairest of places for repose. |
25 |
The Day the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and angels shall be sent down, descending (in ranks) -- |
26 |
That Day, the dominion as of right and truth, shall be (wholly) for (Allah) Most Merciful: it will be a day of dire difficulty for the Misbelievers. |
27 |
The Day that the wrongdoer will bite at his hands, He will say,
|
28 |
"Ah! woe is me! would that I had never taken such a one for a friend! |
29 |
"He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! the Evil One is but a traitor to man! |
30 |
Then the Apostle will say: "O my Lord! truly my people took this Qur'án for just foolish nonsense." |
31 |
Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help. |
32 |
Those who reject Faith say: "Why is not the Qur'án revealed to him all at once?"
|
33 |
And no question do they bring to thee but We reveal to thee the truth and the best explanation (thereof). |
34 |
Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces -- they will be in an evil plight, and, as to Path, most astray. |
35 |
Before this, We sent Moses the Book, and appointed his brother Aaron with him as Minister; |
36 |
And We commanded: "Go ye both, to the people who have rejected Our Signs": and those (people) We destroyed with utter destruction. |
37 |
And the people of Noah -- when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them as a Sign for mankind; and We have prepared for (all) wrongdoers a grievous Penalty -- |
38 |
As also 'Ad and Thamud, and the Companions of the Rass, and many a generation between them. |
39 |
To each one We set forth parables and examples; and each one We broke to utter annihilation (for their sins). |
40 |
And the (Unbelievers) must indeed have passed by the town on which was rained a shower of evil: did they not then see it (with their own eyes)? But they fear not the Resurrection. |
41 |
When they see thee, they treat thee no otherwise than in mockery:
|
42 |
"He indeed would well-nigh have misled us from our gods, had it not been that we were constant to them!"
|
43 |
Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)?
|
44 |
Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand?
|
45 |
Hast thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord? -- how He doth prolong the Shadow!
|
46 |
Then We draw it in towards Ourselves -- a contraction by easy stages. |
47 |
And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you;
|
48 |
And He it is Who sends the Winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky -- |
49 |
That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created, cattle and men in great numbers. |
50 |
And We have distributed the (water) amongst them, in order that they may celebrate (Our) praises, but most men are averse (to aught) but (rank) ingratitude. |
51 |
Had it been Our Will, We could have sent a warner to every center of population, |
52 |
Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Qur'án). |
53 |
It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water:
|
54 |
It is He Who has created man from water: then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things). |
55 |
Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them: and the Misbeliever is a helper (of Evil), against his own Lord! |
56 |
But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition. |
57 |
Say: |
58 |
And put thy trust in Him Who lives and dies not; and celebrate His praise; and enough is He to be acquainted with the faults of His servants -- |
59 |
He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of authority):
|
60 |
When it is said to them, "Adore ye (Allah) Most Gracious!",
|
61 |
Blessed is He Who made Constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light; |
62 |
And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will to celebrate His praises or to show their gratitude. |
63 |
And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!" |
64 |
Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing; |
65 |
Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous -- |
66 |
"Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in;" |
67 |
Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes); |
68 |
Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause, not commit fornication -- and any that does this (not only) meets punishment. |
69 |
(But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy- |
70 |
Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
71 |
And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion -- |
72 |
Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honorable (avoidance); |
73 |
Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind: |
74 |
And those who pray, "Our Lord! grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous." |
75 |
Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy; therein shall they be met with salutations and peace, |
76 |
Dwelling therein -- how beautiful an abode and place of rest! |
77 |
Say (to the rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him, but ye have indeed rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!" |
