A
Undetaken by Allah (s.w.t) is (to show) the right path, while there are some (paths) that are crooked. He had so willed, He would have led all of you to the right path.

Q
هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً ۖ لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

A

23
Q
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ ﴿٢٣﴾
A

24
Q
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۙ قَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾
A
When it is said to them: ‘What has your Lord sent down’, they say: ‘It is nothing but the tales of the ancient people’.
25
لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾
Hence they shall bear the full weight of their burdens on The Day of Judgement. And also some of the burdens of those whom they misled without knowledge. Remember, evil is the burden they bear.
26
قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْيَانَهُم مِّنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾
Those (too) who were before them made plots. Then (the command of) Allah (s.w.t) came upon their buildings (uprooting them) from the foundations. So roofs fell down upon them from above. And the chastisement came to them from where they could not even imagine.
27
ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَاقُّونَ فِيهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ إِنَّ الْخِزْيَ الْيَوْمَ وَالسُّوءَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٢٧﴾
Then on The Day of Judgement He will put them to disgrace and will say: 'Where are My partners for whose sake you used to quarrel (with the believers)?'. Those endowed with knowledge will say: 'Today the disgrace and the evil (chastisement) has to befall the unbelievers'.
28
الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ فَأَلْقَوُا السَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِن سُوءٍ ۚ بَلَىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾
The ones to whom the angels brought death while they were (still) wronging themselves. Then they will resort to submission (yet will say): 'We used to do nothing wrong'. (They will be answered): 'Why not? Allah (s.w.t) knows well what you used to do'.
29
فَادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾
Hence enter the gates of Jahannum to live in it forever. So evil is the abode of the arrogant.
30
۞ وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا مَاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۚ قَالُوا خَيْرًا ۗ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۚ وَلَدَارُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ ۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ الْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾
And (on the other hand) it is said to the God-fearing: 'What has your Lord sent down?'. They say: '(He has sent down) excellent (discourse)'. For those who do good, there is good (end) in this world. And indeed the abode of The Hereafter is much better. Excellent is the abode of The God-Fearing.
31
جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْزِي اللَّهُ الْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٣١﴾
The eternal gardens they enter with rivers flowing beneath them. For them there is what they desire. That is how Allah (s.w.t) rewards the God-Fearing.
32
الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ ۙ يَقُولُونَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾
The ones to whom angels bring death while the are pure (in beliefs and deeds). They (angels) say: 'Peace on you! Enter Paradise for the deeds you have been doing'.
33
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾
They (the unbelievers) are waiting for nothing but that the angels should come to them or comes the command of your Lord. Similar was the reaction of those who were before them. Allah (s.w.t) did not wrong them. Rather they were doing wrong to themselves.
34
فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾
So the evils of what they did overtook them. And they were encircled by the very thing they used to ridicule.
35
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ ﴿٣٥﴾
The polytheists said: 'If Allah (s.w.t) had so willed, we would have not worshipped anything other than Him. Neither we nor our forefathers. Nor would we have made anything unlawful without (a command from) Him'. Similar was the reaction of those who were before them. Therefore, the messengers' obligation is no more than to convey the message clearly'.
36
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَالَةُ ۚ فَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾
We did raise a messenger among every people with the message: 'Worship Allah (s.w.t) and stay away from the rebel (shaytan)'. Then there were some among them whom Allah (s.w.t) guided and there were others against whom deviation (from the right path) was established. So travel on Earth and see how was the fate of those who rejected (the prophets (a.s)).
37
إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَاهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَن يُضِلُّ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾
If you are keen for their guidance, then (remember that) Allah (s.w.t) does not lead those to the right path whom He lets go astray. And for them there are no helpers.
38
وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ ۙ لَا يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُ ۚ بَلَىٰ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾
They swore by Allah (s.w.t) on solemn oaths: 'Allah (s.w.t) will not resurrect those who die'. Why not? It is a promise on His part which is due to come true. But most of the people do not know.
39
لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَاذِبِينَ ﴿٣٩﴾
(He will resurrect all of them) so that He discloses for them what they have been disputing about. And so that those who disbelieve may know that they were liars.
40
إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَيْءٍ إِذَا أَرَدْنَاهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٤٠﴾
Whenever We intend to do something, We do not more than say to it: 'Be' and it comes to be.
41
وَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا فِي اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ۖ وَلَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤١﴾
*Those who have migrated for the sake of Allah (s.w.t) after they were oppressed, We shall give them a good place in the world. And of course the reward of The Hereafter is much greater if they only knew.
Many muslims had to migrate due to persecution of the pagans. This verse consoles them of reward in The Hereafter, as well as a peaceful homeland to live in this world.
42
الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾
Those who kept patient and who place trust in their Lord.
43
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾
We did not send (messengers) before you other than men whom We inspired with revelation. So ask the people (having the knowledge) of the Reminder (the earlier scriptures) if you do not know.
44
بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالزُّبُرِ ۗ وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾
(We sent them) with clear signs and scriptures. And we sent down The Reminder (Qur'an) to you so that you explain to the people what has been revealed for them. And so that they may ponder.
45
أَفَأَمِنَ الَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾
Do those who contrive evil plots feel immune from that Allah (s.w.t) makes them sink into The Earth, or from that the punishment comes to them from where they would not perceive?
46
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ ﴿٤٦﴾
*Or that He seizes them when roaming about, while they are not able to frustrate Him.
47
أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٤٧﴾
Or that He seizes them while they are in apprehension? So indeed your Lord is Very Kind, Very Merciful.
48
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَالُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالشَّمَائِلِ سُجَّدًا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَاخِرُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾
*Have they not observed the things Allah (s.w.t) has created, their shadows inclining from the right and the left prostrating themselves before Allah (s.w.t) while they are humble?
The shadows being submissive to Allah (s.w.t)'s will and command which is one of the proofs of His Omnipotence.
49
وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن دَابَّةٍ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾
To Allah (s.w.t) prostrates itself whatever there is in The Heavens and whatever there is in The Earth. And they show no arrogance.
50
يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ۩ ﴿٥٠﴾
They fear their Lord above them and do as they are commanded.
51
۞ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا إِلَٰهَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ ۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَإِيَّايَ فَارْهَبُونِ ﴿٥١﴾
Allah (s.w.t) has said: 'Do not take 2 gods. He is but one God. So Me alone you fear'.
52
وَلَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِبًا ۚ أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾
And to Him belongs what is in The Heavens and The Earth. And it is only He who deserves obedience as ever due. Would you then fear someone other than Allah (s.w.t)?
53
وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْأَرُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾
Whatever blessing you have is from Allah (s.w.t). Then once you are touched by distress, to Him alone you cry for help.
54
ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ الضُّرَّ عَنكُمْ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يُشْرِكُونَ ﴿٥٤﴾
Then as soon as He removes the distress from you, a group from among you starts ascribing partners to their Lord.
55
لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ ۚ فَتَمَتَّعُوا ۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٥٥﴾
Thus they deny what We have given to them. Well enjoy yourself (for some time) and soon you will come to know (that fate of your misdeeds).
56
وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبًا مِّمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ ۗ تَاللَّهِ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ ﴿٥٦﴾
They allocate a share from what We have given to them for those (idols). The reality of whom they do not even know. By Allah (s.w.t) you shall definitely be responsible for the fabrications you have been inventing.
57
وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ الْبَنَاتِ سُبْحَانَهُ ۙ وَلَهُم مَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ﴿٥٧﴾
*They ascribe daughters to Allah (s.w.t). Pure is He! And for themselves is what they desire.
Daughters detested by Pagans.
58
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِالْأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ ﴿٥٨﴾
When one of them is given the good news of a female child, his face becomes gloomy and he is choked with grief.
59
يَتَوَارَىٰ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِن سُوءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِ ۚ أَيُمْسِكُهُ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِي التُّرَابِ ۗ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾
He hides himself from people because of the (self-presumed) bad news given to him (and wonders): 'Shall he keep it despite the disgrace (he will face in the society) or put it away into the dust? In fact, evil is what they decide.
60
لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ ۖ وَلِلَّهِ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلَىٰ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿٦٠﴾
Those who do not believe in The Hereafter have evil attributes. And to Allah (s.w.t) belong the most exalted attributes. He is The Mighty, The Wise.
61
وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ﴿٦١﴾
If Allah (s.w.t) were to seize the people for their transgression, He would have spared no creature on Earth. But He lets them go on up to an appointed time. So when their time will come, they will not be able to delay it for a moment, nor to bring it soon.
62
وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ النَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفْرَطُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾
They assign to Allah (s.w.t) what they themselves dislike. And their tongues make false statement that for them there is a happy end. No, fire is imminently theirs. And they are being driven (towards it) speedily.
63
تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿٦٣﴾
By Allah (s.w.t), We sent (messengers) to communities before you, but the shaytan made their deeds look good to them. So he is their patron today. And for them there is a painful punishment.
64
وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۙ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٦٤﴾
We have sent down The Book to you only because you may explain to them what they differed about and (so that it may be) guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
65
وَاللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾
*Allah (s.w.t) sent down water from The Heavens and revived the land with it after it was dead. Surely in that there is a sign for a people who listen.
66
وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً ۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهِ مِن بَيْنِ فَرْثٍ وَدَمٍ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًا سَائِغًا لِّلشَّارِبِينَ ﴿٦٦﴾
*Surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle. We provide you out of what lies in their bellies between faeces and blood. The (drink of) milk, pure and pleasant for those who drink.
67
وَمِن ثَمَرَاتِ النَّخِيلِ وَالْأَعْنَابِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَرًا وَرِزْقًا حَسَنًا ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾
*And from the fruits of date palms and grapevines, you obtain intoxicants and good provision. Surely in that there is a sign for a people who understand.
Drinking wine was not yet prohibited. But the verse separates it from good provision, suggesting it was not a good thing.
68
وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾
Your Lord revealed to the honeybee: 'Make homes in the mountains in the trees and in the structures they raise'.
Good indication about milk and honey and that wine was not liked by Allah (s.w.t). Hint that it was going to be prohibited at some stage.
69
ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾
Then eat from all the fruits and go along the pathways of your Lord made easy for you. From their bellies comes out a drink of various colours in which there is cure for people. Surely in that there is a sign for a people who ponder.
70
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ ۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْ لَا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَيْئًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٧٠﴾
*Allah (s.w.t) has carried you, then He takes you back. And among you there is one who is carried to the worst part of age, so that he knows nothing after having knowledge. Surely Allah (s.w.t) is All-Knowing, Powerful.
Man forgets in his old age. Lesson to not be overproud, because Allah (s.w.t) blessed him with it and He may take it away also.
71
وَاللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الرِّزْقِ ۚ فَمَا الَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا بِرَادِّي رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ ۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ ﴿٧١﴾
*Allah (s.w.t) has given some of you preferance over others in provision. So those given preferance are not willing to pass on their provision to their slaves so that they become equal in it. Do they then reject the blessing of Allah (s.w.t)?
They believed that the partners were owned by Allah (s.w.t)
72
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ ﴿٧٢﴾
Allah (s.w.t) has created spouses from among you and created sons and grandsons for you from your spouses. And gave you provision from good things. Is it then the falsehood that they believe in and the blessing of Allah (s.w.t) that they reject?
73
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِّنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴿٧٣﴾
They worship besides Allah (s.w.t) the objects that have no power to give them anything from The Heavens and The Earth, nor can they ever have such power.
74
فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الْأَمْثَالَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٧٤﴾
So do not coin similarities for Allah (s.w.t). Surely Allah (s.w.t) knows and you do not know.
75
۞ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدًا مَّمْلُوكًا لَّا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَمَن رَّزَقْنَاهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرًّا وَجَهْرًا ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوُونَ ۚ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾
Allah (s.w.t) gives an example. There is a slave owned (by someone) who has no power over anything and there is a person whom We have given good provision from Us and he spends out of it secretly and openly. Are they equal? Praise be to Allah (s.w.t). But most of them do not know.
76
وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَاهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٧٦﴾
And Allah (s.w.t) gives another example: There are 2 men. One of them is dumb who is unable to do anything and he is a burden to his master. Wherever he directs him to, he brings no good. Can he be equal to the one who enjoins justice and is on the straight path?
77
وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَا أَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٧٧﴾
*To Allah (s.w.t) belongs the unseen of The Heavens and The Earth. And the matter of The Hour (of Judgement) is no more than of twinkling of the eye, or even quicker. Of course Allah (s.w.t) is Powerful over everything.
Hour will come all at once. Could also mean Resurrection of the dead will not take much time. All dead raised in one single moment.
78
وَاللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّن بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٧٨﴾
Allah (s.w.t) has brought you forth from your mothers' wombs when you knew nothing. And He made for you ears, eyes and hearts so that you may be grateful.
79
أَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٧٩﴾
Did they not look at the birds, how they are controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? Noone holds them but Allah (s.w.t). Surely in that there are signs for a people who believe.
80
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن بُيُوتِكُمْ سَكَنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ الْأَنْعَامِ بُيُوتًا تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقَامَتِكُمْ ۙ وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا أَثَاثًا وَمَتَاعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ﴿٨٠﴾
Allah (s.w.t) has made your houses a place of comfort for you. And made for you houses from the hides of cattle, which you find so light on the day you travel and the day you camp. And out of their wool and their fur and their hair (He created) furnishings and goods of enjoyment for a period of time.
81
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَالًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْجِبَالِ أَكْنَانًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ الْحَرَّ وَسَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأْسَكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ ﴿٨١﴾
Allah (s.w.t) has made for your benefit shades from what He has created. And made for you shelters in mountains. And made for you shirts that protect you from the heat. And shirts that protect you in your battles. This is how He perfects His favour upon you so that you may submit.
82
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ ﴿٨٢﴾
If they still turn away, then your responsibility is only to convey the message clearly.
83
يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ ﴿٨٣﴾
They are aware of Allah (s.w.t)'s favour yet they deny it. And most of them are ungrateful.
84
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ ﴿٨٤﴾
(Remember) The Day on which We shall raise up a witness from every people. Then the disbelievers will not be allowed (to make excuses) nor shall they be asked to repent.
85
وَإِذَا رَأَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا الْعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾
And when the unjust will see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be given respite.
86
وَإِذَا رَأَى الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا هَٰؤُلَاءِ شُرَكَاؤُنَا الَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُو مِن دُونِكَ ۖ فَأَلْقَوْا إِلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ ﴿٨٦﴾
*When the polytheists will see those whom they made partners with Allah (s.w.t), they will say: 'Our Lord, these are the partners we made whom we called in worship besides you'. Then they (the partners) will turn to them saying: 'You are indeed liars'.
They will disown them.
87
وَأَلْقَوْا إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ السَّلَمَ ۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ ﴿٨٧﴾
On that Day they will tender submission to Allah (s.w.t) and all that they used to fabricate will have vanished from them.
88
الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ زِدْنَاهُمْ عَذَابًا فَوْقَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا يُفْسِدُونَ ﴿٨٨﴾
For those who disbelieve and put obstructions in the way of Allah (s.w.t), We shall add up punishment after punishment for the mischief they used to make.
89
وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰؤُلَاءِ ۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٨٩﴾
And (think of) the day We shall send to every people a witness from among them (to testify) against them and We shall bring you (Oh Prophet (s.a.w)) as witness against these. And We have revealed to you the Book, and exposition of everything and guidance and mercy and glad tidings for the Muslims.
90
۞ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ ۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٩٠﴾
Allah (s.w.t) enjoins to do justice and to adopt good behaviour and to give relatives (their due rights). And forbids shameful acts, evil deeds and oppressive attitude. He exhorts you, so that you may be mindful.
91
وَأَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ إِذَا عَاهَدتُّمْ وَلَا تَنقُضُوا الْأَيْمَانَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾
Fulfill the Covenant of Allah (s.w.t) when you pledge and do not break oaths after you swear them solemnly while you have made Allah (s.w.t) a Witness over you. Surely Allah (s.w.t) knows all that you do.
92
وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِي نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَاثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ ۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٩٢﴾
*Do not be like the woman who had broken her yarn into pieces after spinning it firmly, by taking your oaths as means of mischief between yourselves. Merely because a group gets greater benefit than the other. In fact, Allah (s.w.t) puts you to test thereby and of course on The Day of Judgement He will explain to you all the matters in which you disagreed.
Mad woman in Makkah. Cited as an example for one who exerts all his efforts then nullifies it at the end of the day. Those who entered in a solemn oath then violate.
93
وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَلَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٣﴾
*If Allah (s.w.t) so willed, He would have made all of you a single community. But He lets whom He wills go astray and takes whom He wills to the right path. And surely you will be questioned about what you used to do.
Defeats purpose of the test.
94
وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمٌ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُوا السُّوءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿٩٤﴾
*Do not make your oaths a means of mischief among yourselves, lest a foot should slip after it is firmly placed. And you taste evil consequences for your having prevented (others) from the path of Allah (s.w.t) and you incur a great punishment.
May make others do the same and they slipped because of you. Then you will be responsible.
95
وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٩٥﴾
And do not take a paltry (small) price against the pledge of Allah (s.w.t). Indeed what is with Allah (s.w.t) is much better for you, if only you knew.
96
مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُ ۖ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ بَاقٍ ۗ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾
What is with you shall perish. And what is with Allah (s.w.t) shall last. And certainly We shall bless those who observed patience with their reward for the best of what they used to do.
97
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٩٧﴾
Whoever, male or female has acted righteously while being a believer, We shall certainly make his life a good life. And shall give such people their reward for the best of what they used to do.
98
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ﴿٩٨﴾
So when you recite The Qur'an, seek refuge with Allah (s.w.t) against shaytan, the accursed.
99
إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ﴿٩٩﴾
He (shaytan) is such that he has no authority over those who believe and place trust in their Lord.
100
إِنَّمَا سُلْطَانُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِهِ مُشْرِكُونَ ﴿١٠٠﴾
His (shaytan) authority is only over those who befriend him and those who associate partners with Allah (s.w.t).
101
وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَا آيَةً مَّكَانَ آيَةٍ ۙ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُفْتَرٍ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٠١﴾
*Whenever We replace a verse with another verse, and Allah (s.w.t) knows well what He reveals, they say: 'You are but a forger'. The fact rather is that most of them are ignorant.
If Qur'an was a divine discourse then no changes should have taken place. But Allah (s.w.t) replaces one rule with another according to His wisdom and the conditions at a particular time.
102
قُلْ نَزَّلَهُ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿١٠٢﴾
Say: 'This has been brought down by The Holy Spirit (Jibrael (a.s)) from your Lord rightly (as due), so that it may bring firmness to the believers and become guidance and good news for the Muslims'.
103
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ بَشَرٌ ۗ لِّسَانُ الَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٠٣﴾
*We know well that they say: 'There is a man who teaches him'. The language of the one they refer to is non-arabic while this is clear arabic language.
Nabi (s.a.w) got the Qur'an from a Roman slave. They did not think that the slave was unable to compose such eloquent discourse.
104
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ اللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿١٠٤﴾
Surely those who do not believe in Allah (s.w.t)'s verses, Allah (s.w.t) does not lead them to the right path and for them there is a painful punishment.
105
إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِي الْكَذِبَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَ ﴿١٠٥﴾
It is (not the prophet but) the disbelievers in Allah (s.w.t)'s verses who forge lies and it is they who are liars.
106
مَن كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ إِيمَانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِالْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿١٠٦﴾
Whoever rejects his faith in Allah (s.w.t) after having believed in Him, not the one who is compelled (to utter a word of disbelief) under duress while his heart is at peace with faith, but the one who had laid his breast wide open for disbelief, upon such people is the wrath of Allah (s.w.t) and for them there is a heavy punishment.
107
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿١٠٧﴾
That is because they have preferred the worldly life to The Hereafter and that Allah (s.w.t) does not lead the disbelieving people to the right path.
108
أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ ﴿١٠٨﴾
Those are the ones Allah (s.w.t) has set a seal on whose hearts, ears and eyes. And they are the heedless.
109
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ ﴿١٠٩﴾
Invariably, they are the losers in The Hereafter.
110
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُوا ثُمَّ جَاهَدُوا وَصَبَرُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١١٠﴾
Then your Lord, for those who left their homes after being persecuted, then fought in the way of Allah (s.w.t) and stood patient, surely your Lord is after all that, Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
111
۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ﴿١١١﴾
(All this will happen) on The Day when everyone will come pleading for himself. And everyone will be given in full what he did. And they will not be wronged.
112
وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ آمِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذَاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَالْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ ﴿١١٢﴾
Allah (s.w.t) gives an example. There was a town, secure and content with its sustenance coming in plenty from every place. Then it turned ungrateful to the bounties of Allah (s.w.t). So Allah (s.w.t) made it taste hunger and terror (that covered it) like a garment, as a recompense of what its people used to do.
113
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ ﴿١١٣﴾
And of course a messenger from amongst themselves had come to them, but they rejected him. So the punishment seized them when they were wrongdoers.
114
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَاشْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿١١٤﴾
So eat the permissible and pure things from what Allah (s.w.t) has provided you. And be grateful for the bounty of Allah (s.w.t) if you worship Him alone.
115
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١١٥﴾
He has but prohibited for you the carrion, the blood, the flesh of swine and what has been invoked upon with a name other than that of Allah (s.w.t). However if anyone is compelled by necessity, neither seeking pleasure, nor crossing the limit (of necessity), then Allah (s.w.t) is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
116
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ الْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَالٌ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ ﴿١١٦﴾
Do not say about what your tongues describe falsely. 'This is lawful and this is unlawful'. So that you may forge the lie upon Allah (s.w.t). Surely those who forge a lie upon Allah (s.w.t) do not prosper.
117
مَتَاعٌ قَلِيلٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿١١٧﴾
(Let there be) a little enjoyment and (then) for them there is a painful punishment.
118
وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ﴿١١٨﴾
For those who are Jews, We have prohibited that which We have already told you. And We did not wrong them, but it was they who wronged themselves.
119
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١١٩﴾
Then your Lord, for those who did evil because of ignorance, then repented after that and corrected themselves, surely your Lord is after all that Most-Forgiving, Very Merciful.
120
إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿١٢٠﴾
Surely Ibrahim (a.s) was an Ummah (whole community in himself), devoted to Allah (s.w.t), a man of pure faith. And he was not among the polytheist.
121
شَاكِرًا لِّأَنْعُمِهِ ۚ اجْتَبَاهُ وَهَدَاهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿١٢١﴾
He (Ibrahim (a.s) was grateful to His bounties. He (Allah (s.w.t)) chose him and led him to the straight path.
122
وَآتَيْنَاهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ۖ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿١٢٢﴾
We bestowed good upon him in this world. And in The Hereafter he is amongst the righteous.
123
ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿١٢٣﴾
Then We revealed to you: 'Follow the way of Ibrahim (a.s), the upright, and he was not among the polytheists'.
124
إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ السَّبْتُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿١٢٤﴾
*The sabbath was was prescribed only for those people (Jews) who differed in it, and your Lord will certainly judge between them on The Day of Judgement, in those matters they used to differ.
Imposed on Jews not on Ibrahim (a.s).
125
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ ﴿١٢٥﴾
Invite (people) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good counsel. And argue with them in the best of manners. Surely your Lord knows best the one who deviates from His path, and He knows best the ones who are on the right path.
126
وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُم بِهِ ۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِّلصَّابِرِينَ ﴿١٢٦﴾
*And if you were to harm (them) in retaliation, harm them to the measure you were harmed. And if you opt for patience, it is definitely much better for those who are patient.
127
وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِي ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ ﴿١٢٧﴾
*And be patient. Your patience is bestowed by none but Allah (s.w.t). And do not grieve over them. And do not be in distress for what they devise.
128
إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّالَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ ﴿١٢٨﴾
Surely Allah (s.w.t) is with those who fear Him, and those who are good in their deeds.
