Surat 023. Al Mu'minuun
1.
the believers must (eventually) win through,-
2.
those who humble themselves In their prayers;
3.
who avoid vain talk;
4.
who are active In deeds of charity;
5.
who abstain from sex,
6.
except with those joined to them In the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom
their right hands possess,- for (in their case) They are free from blame,
7.
but those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors;-
8.
those who faithfully observe their Trusts and their covenants;
9.
and who (strictly) guard their prayers;-
10.
these will be the heirs,
11.
who will inherit Paradise: They will dwell therein (for ever).
12.
man we did create from a quintessence (of clay);
13.
then we placed Him As (A drop of) sperm In a place of rest, firmly fixed;
14.
then we made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot we
made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones
with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. so Blessed be Allah,
the best to create!
15.
after that, at length ye will die
16.
again, on the Day of Judgment, will ye be raised up.
17.
and we have made, above you, seven tracts; and we are never unmindful of (our)
creation.
18.
and we send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and we cause it
to soak In the soil; and we certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).
19.
with it we grow for you Gardens of date-palms and vines: In them have ye
abundant fruits: and of them ye eat (and have enjoyment),-
20.
also a Tree springing out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil, and relish for
those who use it for food.
21.
and In cattle (too) ye have an instructive example: from within their bodies we
produce (milk) for you to drink; there are, In them, (besides), numerous
(other) benefits for you; and of their (meat) ye eat;
22.
an on them, As well As In ship, ye side.
23.
(Further, we sent a long line of prophets for your instruction). we sent Noah
to His people: He said, "O My people! worship Allah. ye have no other god
but Him. will ye not fear (Him)?"
24.
the Chiefs of the unbelievers among His people said: "He is no more than a
man like yourselves: His wish is to assert His superiority over you: if Allah
had wished (to send messengers), He could have sent down angels; never did we
Hear such a thing (as He says), among Our ancestors of old."
25.
(and some said): "He is only a man possessed: wait (and have patience)
with Him for a time."
26.
(Noah) said: "O My Lord! help Me: for that They accuse me of
falsehood!"
27.
so we inspired Him (with This message): "Construct the Ark within Our
sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our command, and the fountains of
the earth gush forth, take Thou on board pairs of every species, male and
female, and Thy family- except those of them against whom the word has already
gone forth: and address me not In favour of the wrong-doers; for They shall be
drowned (in the Flood).
28.
and when Thou hast embarked on the Ark - Thou and those with thee,- say:
"Praise be to Allah, who has saved us from the people who do wrong."
29.
and say: "O My Lord! enable me to disembark with Thy blessing: for Thou
art the best to enable (Us) to disembark."
30.
Verily In This there are Signs (for men to understand); (thus) do we try (men).
31.
then we raised after them another generation.
32.
and we sent to them an apostle from among themselves, (saying), "Worship
Allah. ye have no other god but Him. will ye not fear (Him)?"
33.
and the Chiefs of His people, who disbelieved and denied the meeting In the
Hereafter, and on whom we had bestowed the good things of This life, said:
"He is no more than a man like yourselves: He eats of that of which ye
eat, and drinks of what ye drink.
34.
"If ye obey a man like yourselves, Behold, it is certain ye will be lost.
35.
"Does He promise that when ye die and become dust and bones, ye shall be
brought forth (again)?
36.
"Far, very far is that which ye are promised!
37.
"There is nothing but Our life In This world! we shall die and we live!
but we shall never be raised up again!
38.
"He is only a man who invents a lie against Allah, but we are not the ones
to believe In Him!"
39.
(the prophet) said: "O My Lord! help Me: for that They accuse me of
falsehood."
40.
((Allah)) said: "In but a Little while, They are sure to be sorry!"
41.
then the Blast overtook them with justice, and we made them As rubbish of dead
leaves (floating on the stream of Time)! so away with the people who do wrong!
42.
then we raised after them other generations.
43.
no people can hasten their term, nor can They delay (it).
44.
then sent we Our apostles In succession: every time there came to a people their
apostle, They accused Him of falsehood: so we made them follow Each other (in
punishment): we made them As a tale (That is told): so away with a people that
will not believe!
45.
then we sent Moses and His brother Aaron, with Our Signs and authority manifest,
46.
to Pharaoh and His chiefs: but these behaved insolently: They were an arrogant
people.
47.
They said: "Shall we believe In two men like ourselves? and their people
are subject to us!"
48.
so They accused them of falsehood, and They became of those who were destroyed.
49.
and we gave Moses the Book, In order that They might receive guidance.
50.
and we made the son of Mary and His mother As a sign: we gave them both shelter
on high ground, affording rest and security and furnished with springs.
51.
O ye apostles! enjoy (all) things good and pure, and work righteousness: for I
am well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
52.
and Verily This brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your
Lord and Cherisher: Therefore fear me (and no other).
53.
but people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: Each
party rejoices In that which is with itself.
54.
but leave them In their confused ignorance for a time.
55.
do They think that because we have granted them abundance of wealth and sons,
56.
we would hasten them on In every good? Nay, They do not understand.
57.
Verily those who live In awe for fear of their Lord;
58.
those who believe In the Signs of their Lord;
59.
those who join not (in worship) partners with their Lord;
60.
and those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear, because
They will return to their Lord;-
61.
it is these who hasten In every good work, and these who are foremost In them.
62.
on no soul do we place a burden greater than it can bear: before us is a record
which clearly shows the truth: They will never be wronged.
63.
but their hearts are In confused ignorance of this; and there are, besides
that, deeds of theirs, which They will (continue) to do,-
64.
until, when we seize In punishment those of them who received the good things
of This world, Behold, They will groan In supplication!
65.
(it will be said): "Groan not In supplication This Day: for ye shall
certainly not be helped by us.
66.
"My Signs used to be rehearsed to you, but ye used to turn back on your
heels-
67.
"In arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Qur'an), like one telling
fables by night."
68.
do They not ponder over the word (of Allah., or has anything (new) come to them
that did not come to their fathers of old?
69.
or do They not recognise their Messenger, that They deny Him?
70.
or do They say, "He is possessed"? Nay, He has brought them the
truth, but Most of them hate the Truth.
71.
if the truth had been In accord with their desires, truly the heavens and the
earth, and all beings therein would have been In confusion and corruption! Nay,
we have sent them their admonition, but They turn away from their admonition.
72.
or is it that Thou askest them for some recompense? but the recompense of Thy
Lord is best: He is the best of those who give sustenance.
73.
but Verily Thou callest them to the straight way;
74.
and Verily those who believe not In the Hereafter are deviating from that way.
75.
if we had Mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, They would
obstinately persist In their transgression, wandering In distraction to and
fro.
76.
and indeed we seized them with Punishment, but they humbled not themselves to
their Lord, nor did they invoke (Allâh) with submission to Him.
77.
until, when we open for them the gate of Severe Punishment, Then Lo! they will
be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and In despair.
78.
it is he, who has created for You (the sense of) hearing (ears), sight (eyes),
and hearts (understanding). little thanks You give.
79.
and it is He who has created You on the earth, and to Him You shall be gathered
back.
80.
and it is He who gives life and causes death, and his is the alternation of
night and Day. will You not Then understand?
81.
Nay, but they Say the like of what the men of old said.
82.
they said: "When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be
resurrected indeed?
83.
"Verily, This we have been promised, we and Our fathers before (us)! This
is Only the tales of the ancients!"
84.
say: "Whose is the earth and Whosoever is therein? if You know!"
85.
they will say: "It is Allâh's!" say: "Will You not Then
remember?"
86.
say: "Who is (the) Lord of the seven heavens, and (the) Lord of the great
Throne?"
87.
they will say: "Allâh." say: "Will You not Then fear Allâh
(believe In his Oneness, obey him, believe In the Resurrection and Recompense
for each and Every good or bad deed)."
88.
Say "In whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything (i.e. treasures of
each and everything)? and He protects (all), while against whom there is no
Protector, (i.e. if Allâh saves anyone none can Punish or harm him, and if
Allâh punishes or harms anyone none can save him), if You know." [Tafsir
Al-Qurtubî, Vol. 12, Page 145]
89.
they will say: "(All that belongs) to Allâh." say: "How Then are
You deceived and turn away from the truth?"
90.
Nay, but we have brought them the Truth (Islâmic Monotheism), and Verily, they
(disbelievers) are liars.
91.
no son (or offspring or children) did Allâh beget, nor is there any Ilâh (God)
along with him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each God would have
taken away what He had created, and some would have tried to overcome others!
glorified be Allâh above All that they attribute to him!
92.
All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted be He over All that they
associate as partners to him!
93.
Say (O Muhammad ): " My Lord! if You would show Me that with which they
are threatened (torment),
94.
"My Lord! Then (save Me from Your punishment), and put Me not amongst the
people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doing)."
95.
and indeed we are Able to show You (O Muhammad ) that with which we have
threatened them.
96.
repel evil with that which is better. we are Best-Acquainted with the things
they utter.
97.
and say: "My Lord! I seek Refuge with You from the whisperings
(suggestions) of the Shayâtin (devils).
98.
"And I seek Refuge with you, My Lord! lest they may attend (or come near)
me."
99.
until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allâh), He
says: "My Lord! send Me back,
100.
"So that I may do good In that which I have left behind!" No! it is
but a word that He speaks, and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day
when they will be resurrected.
101.
then when the trumpet is blown, there will be no more relationships between
them that Day, nor will one ask after another!
102.
then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy,- They will attain salvation:
103.
but those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost their souls, In
Hell will They abide.
104.
the Fire will burn their faces, and They will therein grin, with their lips
displaced.
105.
"Were not My Signs rehearsed to you, and ye did but treat them As
falsehood?"
106.
They will say: "Our Lord! Our misfortune overwhelmed us, and we became a
people astray!
107.
"Our Lord! bring us out of this: if ever we return (to Evil), then shall
we be wrong-doers indeed!"
108.
He will say: "Be ye driven into it (with ignominy)! and speak ye not to
me!
109.
"A part of My servants there was, who used to pray 'our Lord! we believe;
then do Thou forgive us, and have Mercy upon us: for Thou art the best of those
who Show mercy!"
110.
"But ye Treated them with ridicule, so much so that (ridicule of) them
made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them!
111.
"I have rewarded them This Day for their patience and constancy: They are
indeed the ones that have achieved Bliss..."
112.
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?"
113.
They will say: "We stayed a Day or part of a Day: but ask those who keep
account."
114.
He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little,- if ye had only known!
115.
"Did ye then think that we had created you In jest, and that ye would not
be brought back to us (for account)?"
116.
Therefore Exalted be Allah, the king, the reality: there is no god but He, the
Lord of the Throne of Honour!
117.
if anyone invokes, besides Allah, any other god, He has no authority therefor;
and His reckoning will be only with His Lord! and Verily the unbelievers will
fail to win through!
118.
so say: "O My Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and Mercy for Thou art the best
of those who Show mercy!"
