Part 22
[33.31]
But she who obeys Allah and His Messenger and does good works shall be doubly
recompensed; for her We have made a generous provision.
[33.32]
O wives of the Prophet, you are not like other women. If you fear (Allah), do
not be to complaisant in your speech, lest he in whose heart there is a
sickness may desire (of his mother); but speak honorable words.
[33.33] Stay in your homes and do not display your
finery as pagan women used to do in the olden Days of Ignorance. Establish your
prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. O family
of the House, Allah only wishes to distance fault from you, and to cleanse you,
and to purify you abundantly.
[33.34] And remember that which is recited in your
houses of the verses of Allah and the Wisdom. Allah is the Subtle, the Knower.
[33.35] For men and women who have surrendered believing
men and women; obedient men and women; truthful men and women, patient men and
women, humble men and women, men and women who give charity, men and women who
fast, men and women who guard their privates, men and women who remember Allah
in abundance, for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a mighty wage.
[33.36] It is not for any believer man or woman to have
the choice in the affair when a matter is decreed by Allah and His Prophet.
Whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger strays into clear error.
[33.37] And when you said to he whom Allah had favored
and yourself have favored: 'Keep your wife and fear Allah, ' and you sought to
hide in yourself what Allah was to reveal, fearing people; although Allah has a
better right for you to fear Him. And when Zayd had accomplished what he would
of her (divorce), We gave her to you (Prophet Muhammad) in marriage, so that
there is no fault in believers concerning (marriage to) the former spouse of
their foster children if they divorced them. The decree of Allah must be done.
[33.38] No fault shall be attached to the Prophet for
doing what Allah has obligated for him. Such was the way of Allah with those
who passed away before the decree of Allah is a decree determined
[33.39] who were delivering the Messages of Allah,
fearing Him and fearing none except Allah. Allah suffices as a Reckoner.
[33.40] Muhammad is not the father of any of your men.
He is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. Allah has knowledge
of all things.
[33.41] Believers, remember Allah frequently,
[33.42] exalt Him at dawn and in the evening.
[33.43] It is He who has mercy on you, and His angels to
bring you out from the darkness into light. He is the Most Merciful to the
believers.
[33.44] On the Day they meet Him, their greeting shall
be 'Peace! ' A generous recompense He has prepared for them.
[33.45] O Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, a
bearer of glad tidings, and to bear warning;
[33.46] a caller to Allah by His permission and as a
light shedding lamp.
[33.47] Give to the believers the glad tidings that with
Allah there is for them a great bounty.
[33.48] Do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites,
pay no attention to their hurt. Put your trust in Allah; Allah suffices as a
Guardian.
[33.49] Believers, if you marry believing women and
divorce them before the marriage is consummated, you have no period to count
against them. Provide for them and release them kindly.
[33.50] O Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives
to whom you have given dowries and those whom your right hand possesses, of
whatever spoils of war that Allah has given you; and the daughters of your
paternal uncles and paternal aunts, and of your paternal and maternal aunts who
migrated with you; and any believing woman who gives herself to the Prophet, if
the Prophet wishes to take her in marriage. This is only for you and not any
other believer. We know the duties We have imposed on them concerning their
wives and those whom their right hand possesses, so that there should be no
fault in you. Allah is the Forgiving and Merciful.
[33.51] You may defer any of them (your wives) if you
please and invite any of them if you please. If you seek any you have put aside
there is no fault in you. So that it is likelier they will be comforted, and
not sorrow, and every one of them will be pleased, and all are pleased with what
you give them. Allah knows what is in your hearts. Allah is the Knower, the
Clement.
[33.52] It shall be unlawful for you to take more wives
or to exchange your present wives for other women, though their beauty pleases
you, except those whom your right hand possesses. Allah is watchful over
everything.
[33.53] Believers, do not enter the houses of the
Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time, unless you are given
permission. But if you are invited, enter, and when you have eaten, disperse,
not desiring conversation, for that is hurtful to the Prophet and he would be
shy before you; but of the truth Allah is not shy. And when you ask his wives
for anything, speak to them from behind a curtain, that is cleaner for your
hearts and theirs. You must not hurt the Messenger of Allah, nor shall you ever
wed his wives after him, surely, this would be a monstrous thing with Allah.
[33.54] Whether you reveal a thing or conceal it, Allah
has knowledge of all things.
[33.55] It shall be no offense for them (to be seen
unveiled) by their fathers, their sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons,
their sisters' sons, their women, and those whom their right hands possess. And
fear Allah, for Allah is witness of everything.
[33.56] Allah and His angels praise and venerate the
Prophet. Believers, praise and venerate him and pronounce peace upon him in
abundance.
[33.57] Those who (try to) hurt Allah and His Messenger
shall be cursed by Allah in this present life and in the Everlasting Life, and
He has prepared for them a humbling punishment.
[33.58] Those who hurt believing men and believing women
undeservedly, shall bear the guilt of slander and a major sin.
[33.59] O Prophet, tell your wives, your daughters and
the believing women to draw their veils close to them, so it is likelier they
will be known, and not hurt. Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
[33.60] If the hypocrites and those who have a disease
in their hearts, and those who make a commotion in the City do not desist, We
will surely urge you against them. Then they will be your neighbors for only a
little (while),
[33.61] cursed wherever they are found, they will be
seized and put to death.
[33.62] Such has been the way of Allah with those who
have passed before them, and you shall find no change in the ways of Allah.
[33.63] The people will ask you about the Hour. Say:
'The knowledge of it is with Allah alone, what makes you to know that the Hour
is near? '
[33.64] Allah has cursed the unbelievers and prepared
for them a Blaze.
[33.65] Living there for ever, they shall neither find a
guardian nor a helper.
[33.66] On that Day when their faces are turned about in
the Fire, they shall say: 'Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the
Messenger! '
[33.67] And they shall say: 'Our Lord, We obeyed our
masters and our eminent ones, but they misled us from the way.
[33.68] Our Lord, let their punishment be doubled; and
curse them with a mighty curse. '
[33.69] Believers, do not be like those who hurt Moses.
Allah cleared him of what they said. His face is honorable with Allah.
[33.70] O you who believe, fear Allah and say sound
statements,
[33.71] and He will mend your deeds for you and forgive
your sins. Whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger shall win a great victory.
[33.72] We offered the trust to the heavens, and the
earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it,
and the human carried it. Surely, he is a harmdoer, and ignorant.
[33.73] Allah punishes the hypocrites, men and women
alike, and the idolaters, both men and women alike; and Allah turns to the
believers, men and women alike. Allah is the Forgiver, the Most Merciful.
34
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[34.1] Praise is for Allah, to whom belongs all that is
in the heavens and the earth! And the Praise belongs to Him in the Everlasting
Life. He is the Wise, the Knower.
[34.2] He knows all that penetrates the earth and all
that comes forth from it, all that comes down from heaven and all that ascends
to it. He is the Most Merciful, the Forgiver.
[34.3] The unbelievers say: 'The Hour will never come to
us. ' Say: 'By my Lord, yes, it is surely coming to you! By Him who knows the
Unseen, not even the weight of an atom in heavens and earth escapes Him;
neither is there anything smaller than that, nor greater except that it is in a
Clear Book,
[34.4] in order that He recompenses those who believe
and do good works; theirs shall be forgiveness and a generous provision.
[34.5] But those who labor against Our verses (thinking
they are) frustrating (Our Messengers), theirs shall be the painful punishment of
anger. '
[34.6] Those to whom the knowledge has been given can
see that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth, guiding to
the Path of the Almighty, the Praised.
[34.7] The unbelievers say: 'Shall we direct you to a
man who will tell you that when you have been utterly torn into pieces you will
be raised in a new creation? '
[34.8] What, has he forged a lie about Allah, or is he
mad! ' No, those who do not believe in the Everlasting Life are in the
punishment and in far error.
[34.9] Have they not seen what is before them and behind
them in heaven and earth? If We willed, We would make the earth swallow them
up, or We would let lumps from heaven fall down on them. Surely, there is a
sign in this for every penitent worshiper.
[34.10] We gave David bounty from Us. 'O mountains, and
birds, echo (the praise of Allah) with him. ' And We softened iron for him,
[34.11] (saying): 'Make large coats of mail and measure
their links well. Do good deeds, for surely I see the things you do. '
[34.12] To Solomon the morning course of the wind was a
month's journey, and its evening course was also a month's journey. We caused
copper to be (as a) molten spring for him. And the jinn, some served him by the
permission of his Lord. But as for those amongst them that swerved away from
Our Command, We shall let them taste the punishment of the Blaze (the Fire).
[34.13] They made for him whatever he wanted, arches,
statues, bowls as basins, and fixed cauldrons. (We said:) 'Give thanks, House
of David and work. ' Yet only a few of My worshipers are thankful.
[34.14] And when We decreed (Solomon's) death, they had
no indication that he was dead until (they saw a termite), a crawler of the
earth eating away his staff. And when he fell down, the jinn realized that had
they known the unseen, they would not have continued in their humiliating
punishment.
[34.15] For
[34.16] But they turned away. So We sent against them
the Flood (at the city) of Arim, and exchanged their gardens with two others
bearing bitter fruit and Tamarisks, and here and there a few Lotus trees.
[34.17] As such We recompensed them for their disbelief;
do We recompense any except the unbelievers?
[34.18] Between them and the villages which We had
blessed, We placed easily visible villages, and We spaced the journey between
them exactly. (We said): 'Travel through them by day and night in safety. '
[34.19] But they said: 'Lord, make the stages between
our journeys longer, ' so they wronged themselves; so We made them news and We
tore them utterly into pieces. Surely, there are signs in this for every one
who is patient, thankful.
[34.20] iblis' made his guess true to them; and all
except for a party of believers followed him.
[34.21] Yet he had no authority over them except that We
would know who believed in the Everlasting Life, from he who doubted. Your Lord
is the Watcher over all things.
[34.22] Say: 'Call on those whom you assert, other than
Allah. They do not possess as much as the weight of an atom in the heavens or
earth, nor do they have a partnership in either, neither does He have
supporters among them. '
[34.23] Intercession with Him will not help, except for
him to whom He gives permission. When terror is lifted from their hearts, they
shall say: 'What did your Lord say? ' 'The truth, ' they shall answer. 'He is
the Most High, the Great. '
[34.24] Say: 'Who provides for you from the heavens and
earth? ' Say: 'Allah. ' Surely, either we or you are rightly guided or in clear
error.
[34.25] Say: 'You will not to be questioned about our
sins, neither will we be questioned for your actions. '
[34.26] Say: 'Our Lord will bring us all together, then,
with truth, He will rightly judge between us. He is the Opener, the Knower.
[34.27] Say: 'Show me those whom you joined with Him as
associates; no, indeed; rather He is Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.
[34.28] We did not send you (Prophet Muhammad) for all
mankind except to bring them glad tidings and to warn, but most people do not
know.
[34.29] They ask: 'When, if what you say is true, will
this promise come? '
[34.30] Say: 'You are promised a Day. You can neither
hold it back, nor can you hasten it by a single hour. '
[34.31] The unbelievers say: 'We will not believe in
this Koran, nor in (the Books) that were before it. ' If you could only see the
harmdoers when they are brought before their Lord! They will argue against each
other. Those who had been abased will say to those who were proud: 'But for
you, we would have been believers. '
[34.32] Then, those who were proud will say to those who
were abased, 'Was it we who barred you from the Guidance after it had come to
you? No, you yourselves were sinners. '
[34.33] Those that were abased will say to those who
were proud: 'Rather, it was scheming night and day, when you ordered us to
disbelieve in Allah and set up equals to Him. ' And they will regret in secret
when they see the punishment and We put (iron) fetters on the necks of the
unbelievers. Shall they be recompensed except for what they were doing?
[34.34] We never sent a warner to a village except that
those (who lived) in luxury said: 'We disbelieve in the Message you have been
sent with! '
[34.35] And they said: 'We have been given an abundance
of wealth and children we shall never be punished! '
[34.36] Say: 'My Lord outspreads and withholds His
provision to whomsoever He will. But most people do not know. '
[34.37] It is neither your riches nor your children that
shall bring you close in nearness to Us, except he who believes and does good
work. For those their awaits a double recompense for their deeds, they shall
live in safety in their lofty chambers.
[34.38] But those who labor to negate Our verses shall
be arraigned in to the punishment.
[34.39] Say: 'My Lord outspreads and withholds His
provision to whomsoever He will of His worshipers. Whatsoever you expend He
will replace it. He is the Best of providers. '
[34.40] On the Day when He gathers them all together, He
will say to the angels: 'Was it you that these worshipped? '
[34.41] 'Exaltations to You! ' they will answer. 'You
are our Guardian other than them! No, rather they worshipped the jinn, and it
was them which most believed. '
[34.42] Therefore, today none of you shall have the
power to either benefit or harm one another. ' To the evildoers We shall say:
'Taste the punishment of the Fire, which you belied! '
[34.43] When Our clear verses, are recited to them, they
say: 'This is nothing but a man whose wish is to prevent you from that which
your fathers used to worship. ' And they say: 'This is nothing but a forged
lie. ' And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it reaches them: 'This is
nothing but clear sorcery. '
[34.44] Yet We have not given them any Books to study,
nor, before you, have We sent them a warner.
[34.45] Those who have gone before them belied, yet they
did not reach a tenth of what We gave them; yet they belied My Messengers. And
how was (My) rejection (their destruction)!
[34.46] Say: 'I give you only one admonition, that you
stand before Allah either two by two, or one by one and reflect. There is no
madness is in your companion. He (Prophet Muhammad) is only a warner to you,
before a terrible punishment. '
[34.47] Say: 'I ask no wage of you; that shall be yours.
My wage is only upon Allah and He is Witness over everything. '
[34.48] Say: 'My Lord hurls the truth the Knower of the
Unseen. '
[34.49] Say: 'Truth has come. Falsehood has vanished and
shall return no more. '
[34.50] Say: 'If I go astray, then I go astray only
against myself; if I am guided it is because of that which my Lord has revealed
to me. He is the Hearer, and the Near. '
[34.51] If you could only see when they (the
unbelievers) are seized with terror, and there is no escape. They shall be
seized from a nearby place,
[34.52] and say: 'We believe in it. ' But how can they
reach from a place that is distant,
[34.53] since they disbelieved in it before, guessing at
the Unseen from a distant place?
[34.54] And a barrier is set between them and that which
they desire, as it was done before with their like; they were in suspicious
doubt. '
35 The Originator
-Fatir
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[35.1] Praise belongs for Allah, the Originator of the
heavens and earth, who appointed the angels to be Messengers, with wings, two,
three, and four. He increases the creation as He wills. Allah has power over
all things.
[35.2] Whatever mercy Allah opens to people, none can
withhold; and whatever He withholds none can release after Him. He is the
Almighty, the Wise.
[35.3] People, remember the blessings of Allah to you.
Except for Allah, is there any other creator who provides for you out of heaven
and earth? There is no god except He. Where then do you turn?
[35.4] If they belie you, other Messengers have been
belied before you. To Allah all matters are returned.
[35.5] People, the promise of Allah is true, so do not
let this present life delude you, and do not let the deluder (satan) delude you
about Allah.
[35.6] satan is indeed your enemy; therefore take him
for an enemy. He calls his party so that they will become the companions of the
Blaze.
[35.7] For the unbelievers awaits a terrible punishment,
but for those who believe and do good deeds is forgiveness and a great
recompense.
[35.8] What then of he whose evil deeds have been
decorated fair to him and thinks them to be good? Allah leads astray whomsoever
He will and whomsoever He will He guides. Do not let your soul be wasted in
regrets for them; Allah has knowledge of all they do.
[35.9] Allah is He who sends the winds that stir up the
clouds. Then, We drive them on to a dead land and revive the earth after it's
death. Such is the Raising Up.
[35.10] He who wants might, the Might belongs to Allah
altogether. To Him ascend good words, and the righteous deed He raises. But
those who devise evil deeds theirs shall be a terrible punishment, and their
plotting shall be annulled.
[35.11] Allah created you from dust, then from a (sperm)
drop. Then he made you pairs. No female conceives or is delivered except by His
Knowledge. He whose life is long, whatsoever is increased or decreased of his
age is in a Clear Book. Surely, that is easy for Allah.
[35.12] The two seas are not alike. One is fresh, sweet
and pleasant to taste, while the other is salt and bitter. Yet, from each you
eat fresh flesh and bring forth out of it ornaments for you to wear. And you
see the ships plow their course through it so that you may seek His bounty, and
in order that you give thanks.
[35.13] He causes the night to enter into the day and
the day into the night. He has subjected the sun and the moon each running for
a named term. Such is Allah, your Lord. To Him belongs the Kingdom; and those
whom you call upon, other than Him, do not possess even as much as the membrane
of a datestone.
[35.14] If you supplicate to them they cannot hear your
supplication, and if they heard, they cannot answer you. On the Day of
Resurrection they will disown your associating. None can tell you like He who
is the Aware.
[35.15] People, it is you who are in need of Allah. He
is the Rich, the Praised.
[35.16] He can put you away, if He will, and bring a new
creation
[35.17] this is not a great matter for Allah.
[35.18] No laden soul shall bear another's load. If one
is heavyburdened and calls for his load to be carried, nothing of it will be
carried, not even if he is a close relative. You warn only those who fear their
Lord in the Unseen, and establish the prayer. He who purifies himself, purifies
himself for the good of his own soul. To Allah is the arrival.
[35.19] The blind and the seeing are not equal,
[35.20] nor are darkness and light.
[35.21] The shade and the hot wind are not equal,
[35.22] nor are the living and the dead equal. Allah
makes to hear whosoever He will, but you cannot make those who are in their
graves hear.
[35.23] You (Prophet Muhammad) are but a warner.
[35.24] We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of
glad tidings and warning, for there is no nation, that has not had a warner
pass away in it.
[35.25] If they belie you, those before them also
belied. Their Messengers came to them with clear signs; the Psalms, and the
Illuminating Book.
[35.26] Then I seized those who disbelieved, and how was
My rejection!
[35.27] Did you not see how Allah sends down water from
the sky and with it brings forth different colored fruits? In the mountains
there are paths of various colors, of white and red, and jetblack.
[35.28] People too, and beasts and cattle have their
different colors. But it is only those amongst His worshippers that fear Allah
who have knowledge. Indeed, Allah is the Almighty and the Forgiving.
[35.29] Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah and
establish their prayers and spend, in secret and in public of that which We
have provided them, look for a trade that does not come to nothing,
[35.30] so that He may pay them in full their wages and
enrich them from His bounty. Surely, He is the Forgiver and the Thanker.
[35.31] That which We have revealed to you of the Book
is the truth and it confirms what was before it. Allah is Aware and sees His
worshipers.
[35.32] Then, We gave the Book as an inheritance to
those of our worshipers whom We chose. Among them, is he who was harmful to
himself, and some who minimize, and some who, by the permission of Allah, race
in charity, this is the greatest virtue.
[35.33] They shall enter the Gardens of Eden, where they
shall be adorned with bracelets of gold and with pearls, and there, their robes
shall be of silk.
[35.34] They shall say: 'Praise belongs to Allah who has
removed all sorrow from us. Indeed, our Lord is the Forgiver, the Thanker.
[35.35] Through His bounty He has made us to live in the
abode of Everlasting Life, where neither weariness nor fatigue shall touch us.
'
[35.36] As for the unbelievers, theirs is the Fire of
Gehenna. They shall neither be done away with nor die, and its punishment shall
never be lightened for them. As such shall We recompense every unbeliever.
[35.37] There they will cry out: 'Our Lord, bring us
out, and we will do good, other than what we have done. ' What, did We not make
your lives long enough to remember for whosoever would remember? A warner came
to you, so taste now! None shall help the harmdoers.
[35.38] Allah knows the Unseen in the heavens and earth.
He knows that which is in the innermost of the chests.
[35.39] It is He who made you caliphs in the earth. He
who disbelieves, his disbelief shall be charged against him. The unbelievers
disbelief does nothing for them, except, increase them in hate with Allah their
disbelief increases the unbelievers only in loss.
[35.40] Say: 'Have you considered your associates who
you call upon, other than Allah? Show me what they have created in the earth!
Or, have they a partnership in the heavens? ' Or, have We given them a Book so
that they have proof of it? No, the harmdoers promise each other nothing else
but delusion.
[35.41] It is Allah who holds the heavens and the earth
lest they vanish. Should they vanish, none would hold them after Him. He is the
Clement, the Forgiving.
[35.42] They solemnly swore by Allah that if a warner came
to them they would be more rightly guided than any other of the nations. Yet,
when a warner came to them, it only increased their aversion,
[35.43] behaving arrogantly in the land and devising
evil. But, evil devising coils only those who do it. Do they look except for
the ways of former nations? You shall never find any change in the way of
Allah.
[35.44] What, have they not journeyed through the land
and seen the end of those who went before them? They were stronger and mightier
than themselves. Allah! There is nothing in heavens or earth that can frustrate
Him, He is the Knower, the Able.
[35.45] If Allah should take people to task for what
they have earned, He would not leave one creature that crawls upon the face (of
the earth)! But, He is deferring them to a named time. And when their time
comes, indeed, Allah is the Seer of His worshipers.
36 Yaseen -YaSeen
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[36.1] YaSeen.
[36.2] By the Wise Koran,
[36.3] you (Prophet Muhammad) are truly among the
Messengers sent
[36.4] upon a Straight Path.
[36.5] The sending down of the Mighty, the Most Merciful
[36.6] so that you may warn a people whose fathers were
not warned, and so were heedless.
[36.7] The Phrase has become obligatory upon most of
them, yet they do not believe.
[36.8] We have bound their necks with fetters up to
their chin, so that their heads are raised and cannot be lowered.
[36.9] We have set a barrier before them and a barrier
behind them, and, We have covered them so that they do not see.
[36.10] It is the same whether you have warned them or
you have not warned them, they do not believe.
[36.11] You only warn he who follows the Remembrance and
fears the Merciful in the Unseen. Give to him glad tidings of forgiveness and a
generous wage.
[36.12] Surely, it is We who revive the dead and write
down what they have forwarded and what they have left behind; We have counted
everything in a Clear Book.
[36.13] Give to them a parable; to the people of the
village there came Messengers,
[36.14] We sent to them two, but they belied them so We
reinforced them with a third. They said: 'We have surely been sent as
Messengers to you. '
[36.15] But they said: 'You are only humans like
ourselves. The Merciful has not sent down anything, your speech is but lies! '
[36.16] They said: 'Our Lord knows that we are
Messengers to you.
[36.17] And it is only for us to deliver a Clear
Message. '
[36.18] They answered: 'We predict evil of you. If you
do not desist, we will stone you and a painful punishment from us will befall
you. '
[36.19] They said: 'Your prediction is with you, if you
are reminded. Surely, you are but a wayward nation. '
[36.20] Then, a man came running from the furthest part
of the village 'My nation, ' he said, 'follow the Messengers,
[36.21] follow those who ask no wage of you and are
rightly guided.
[36.22] Why should I not worship Him who has originated
me and to whom you shall all be returned?
[36.23] What, shall I take, other than Him, gods whose
intercession, if the Merciful desires to afflict me, cannot help me at all, and
they will never save me?
[36.24] Surely, I should then be in clear error.
[36.25] I believe in your Lord, so hear me. '
[36.26] It was said (to him): 'Enter
[36.27] that my Lord has forgiven me, and caused me to
be amongst the receivers of generosity. '
