The analysis of the verses related to anthropology (1) – part 3

وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّیْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِن رِّزْقٍ فَأَحْیَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَتَصْرِیفِ الرِّیَاحِ آیَاتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یَعْقِلُونَ
And in the alternation of Night and Day, and the fact that Allah sends down Sustenance from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the change of the winds,- are Signs for those that are wise.
تِلْكَ آیَاتُ اللَّهِ نَتْلُوهَا عَلَیْكَ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ فَبِأَیِّ حَدِیثٍ بَعْدَ اللَّهِ وَآیَاتِهِ یُؤْمِنُونَ
Such are the Signs of Allah, which We rehearse to thee in Truth; then in what exposition will they believe after (rejecting) Allah and His Signs?
لْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِالَّذِی خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ فِی یَوْمَیْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ أَندَادًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِینَ
Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds.
وَجَعَلَ فِیهَا رَوَاسِیَ مِن فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَكَ فِیهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِیهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا فِی أَرْبَعَةِ أَیَّامٍ سَوَاءً لِّلسَّائِلِینَ
He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in four Days, in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (Sustenance).
ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهِیَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِیَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَا أَتَیْنَا طَائِعِینَ
Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience''.
وَأَلْقَىٰ فِی الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِیَ أَن تَمِیدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَارًا وَسُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
And He has set up on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and rivers and roads; that ye may guide yourselves;
وَعَلَامَاتٍ ۚ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ یَهْتَدُونَ
.And marks and sign-posts; and by the stars (men) guide themselves
أَفَمَن یَخْلُقُ كَمَن لَّا یَخْلُقُ ۗ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Is then He Who creates like one that creates not? Will ye not receive admonition?
اللَّهُ الَّذِی سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِیَ الْفُلْكُ فِیهِ بِأَمْرِهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
It is Allah Who has subjected the sea to you, that ships may sail through it by His command, that ye may seek of his Bounty, and that ye may be grateful
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِی السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِی الْأَرْضِ جَمِیعًا مِّنْهُ ۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَٰلِكَ لَآیَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَتَفَكَّرُونَ
And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect.
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ اللَّیْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ وَالنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَاتٌ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ إِنَّ فِی ذَٰلِكَ لَآیَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَعْقِلُونَ
He has made subject to you the Night and the Day; the sun and the moon; and the stars are in subjection by His Command: verily in this are Signs for men who are wise.
وَالَّذِی خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ
That has created pairs in all things, and has made for you ships and cattle on which ye ride.
لِتَسْتَوُوا عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا اسْتَوَیْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ وَتَقُولُوا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِی سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِینَ
In order that ye may sit firm and square on their backs, and when so seated, ye may celebrate the (kind) favour of your Lord, and say, "Glory to Him Who has subjected these to our (use), for we could never have accomplished this (by ourselves).
هُوَ الَّذِی أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً ۖ لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِیهِ تُسِیمُونَ
It is He who sends down rain from the sky: from it ye drink, and out of it (grows) the vegetation on which ye feed your cattle.
یُنبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّیْتُونَ وَالنَّخِیلَ وَالْأَعْنَابَ وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ إِنَّ فِی ذَٰلِكَ لَآیَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یَتَفَكَّرُونَ
With it He produces for you corn, olives, date-palms, grapes and every kind of fruit: verily in this is a sign for those who give thought.
وَهُوَ الَّذِی جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّیْلَ لِبَاسًا وَالنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ النَّهَارَ نُشُورًا
And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you, and Sleep as Repose, and makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection.
وَهُوَ الَّذِی أَرْسَلَ الرِّیَاحَ بُشْرًا بَیْنَ یَدَیْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا
And He it is Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy, and We send down pure water from the sky.
لِّنُحْیِیَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّیْتًا وَنُسْقِیَهُ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَا أَنْعَامًا وَأَنَاسِیَّ كَثِیرًا
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.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَاهُ بَیْنَهُمْ لِیَذَّكَّرُوا فَأَبَىٰ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا
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.
یَا أَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَیْكُمْ ۚ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَیْرُ اللَّهِ یَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ
O men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! is there a creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but He: how then are ye deluded away from the Truth.
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَیْكُمْ إِذْ أَنجَاكُم مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ یَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ وَیُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَیَسْتَحْیُونَ نِسَاءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِی ذَٰلِكُم بَلَاءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِیمٌ
Remember! Moses said to his people: "Call to mind the favour of Allah to you when He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh: they set you hard tasks and punishments, slaughtered your sons, and let your women-folk live: therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
أَلَمْ یَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِینَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ ۛ وَالَّذِینَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ ۛ لَا یَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۚ جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَیِّنَاتِ فَرَدُّوا أَیْدِیَهُمْ فِی أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا إِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِ وَإِنَّا لَفِی شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَنَا إِلَیْهِ مُرِیبٍ
Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? - of the people of Noah, and ´Ad, and Thamud? - And of those who (came) after them? None knows them but Allah. To them came messengers with Clear (Signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "We do deny (the mission) on which ye have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us.
قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ أَفِی اللَّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ یَدْعُوكُمْ لِیَغْفِرَ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَیُؤَخِّرَكُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ قَالُوا إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا تُرِیدُونَ أَن تَصُدُّونَا عَمَّا كَانَ یَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا فَأْتُونَا بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِینٍ
Their messengers said: "Is there a doubt about Allah, The Creator of the heavens and the earth? It is He Who invites you, in order that He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a term appointed!" They said: "Ah! ye are no more than human, like ourselves! Ye wish to turn us away from the (gods) our fathers used to worship: then bring us some clear authority.
قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ إِن نَّحْنُ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ یَمُنُّ عَلَىٰ مَن یَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نَّأْتِیَكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
Their messengers said to them: "True, we are human like yourselves, but Allah doth grant His grace to such of his servants as He pleases. It is not for us to bring you an authority except as Allah permits. And on Allah let all men of faith put their trust.
وَقَالَ الَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا لِرُسُلِهِمْ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِنَا أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِی مِلَّتِنَا ۖ فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَیْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ لَنُهْلِكَنَّ الظَّالِمِینَ
And the Unbelievers said to their messengers: "Be sure we shall drive you out of our land, or ye shall return to our religion." But their Lord inspired (this Message) to them: "Verily We shall cause the wrong-doers to perish.
یَتَجَرَّعُهُ وَلَا یَكَادُ یُسِیغُهُ وَیَأْتِیهِ الْمَوْتُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمَیِّتٍ ۖ وَمِن وَرَائِهِ عَذَابٌ غَلِیظٌ
In gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.
مَّثَلُ الَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ ۖ أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍ اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الرِّیحُ فِی یَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ ۖ لَّا یَقْدِرُونَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا عَلَىٰ شَیْءٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلَالُ الْبَعِیدُ
The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).
وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ جَمِیعًا فَقَالَ الضُّعَفَاءُ لِلَّذِینَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ مِن شَیْءٍ ۚ قَالُوا لَوْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهَدَیْنَاكُمْ ۖ سَوَاءٌ عَلَیْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِن مَّحِیصٍ
They will all be marshalled before Allah together: then will the weak say to those who were arrogant, "For us, we but followed you; can ye then avail us to all against the wrath of Allah?" They will reply, "If we had received the Guidance of Allah, we should have given it to you: to us it makes no difference (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience: for ourselves there is no way of escape.
وَقَالَ الشَّیْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِیَ الْأَمْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدتُّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِیَ عَلَیْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِی ۖ فَلَا تَلُومُونِی وَلُومُوا أَنفُسَكُم ۖ مَّا أَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُصْرِخِیَّ ۖ إِنِّی كَفَرْتُ بِمَا أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِن قَبْلُ ۗ إِنَّ الظَّالِمِینَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمٌ
And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty.
وَأُدْخِلَ الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِی مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِینَ فِیهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ ۖ تَحِیَّتُهُمْ فِیهَا سَلَامٌ
But those who believe and work righteousness will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow,- to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: "Peace''.
وَآتَاكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا ۗ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ
And He giveth you of all that ye ask for. But if ye count the favours of Allah, never will ye be able to number them. Verily, man is given up to injustice and ingratitude.
رَّبَّنَا إِنِّی أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّیَّتِی بِوَادٍ غَیْرِ ذِی زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَیْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِیُقِیمُوا الصَّلَاةَ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِی إِلَیْهِمْ وَارْزُقْهُم مِّنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَشْكُرُونَ
O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; in order, O our Lord, that they may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits: so that they may give thanks.
وَأَنذِرِ النَّاسَ یَوْمَ یَأْتِیهِمُ الْعَذَابُ فَیَقُولُ الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا رَبَّنَا أَخِّرْنَا إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ قَرِیبٍ نُّجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَ ۗ أَوَلَمْ تَكُونُوا أَقْسَمْتُم مِّن قَبْلُ مَا لَكُم مِّن زَوَالٍ
So warn mankind of the Day when the Wrath will reach them: then will the wrong-doers say: "Our Lord! respite us (if only) for a short term: we will answer Thy call, and follow the messengers!" "What! were ye not wont to swear aforetime that ye should suffer no decline?
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَیَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الْعَزِیزُ الْعَلِیمُ
If thou wert to question them, ´Who created the heavens and the earth?´ They would be sure to reply, ´they were created by (Him), the Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِی قَرْیَةٍ مِّن نَّذِیرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ
Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their footsteps.
أَهُمْ یَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ۚ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَیْنَهُم مَّعِیشَتَهُمْ فِی الْحَیَاةِ الدُّنْیَا ۚ وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِّیَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِیًّا ۗ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّا یَجْمَعُونَ
Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world: and We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may command work from others. But the Mercy of thy Lord is better than the (wealth) which they amass.
وَهُوَ الَّذِی سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِیًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْیَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِیهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
It is He Who has made the sea subject, that ye may eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, and that ye may extract therefrom ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah and that ye may be grateful.
قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِینَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْیَانَهُم مِّنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَیْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَشْعُرُونَ
Those before them did also plot (against Allah´s Way): but Allah took their structures from their foundations, and the roof fell down on them from above; and the Wrath seized them from directions they did not perceive.
ثُمَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَةِ یُخْزِیهِمْ وَیَقُولُ أَیْنَ شُرَكَائِیَ الَّذِینَ كُنتُمْ تُشَاقُّونَ فِیهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِینَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ إِنَّ الْخِزْیَ الْیَوْمَ وَالسُّوءَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِینَ
Then, on the Day of Judgment, He will cover them with shame, and say: "Where are My ´partners´ concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?" Those endued with knowledge will say: "This Day, indeed, are the Unbelievers covered with shame and misery.
وَقِیلَ لِلَّذِینَ اتَّقَوْا مَاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۚ قَالُوا خَیْرًا ۗ لِّلَّذِینَ أَحْسَنُوا فِی هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَةٌ ۚ وَلَدَارُ الْآخِرَةِ خَیْرٌ ۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ الْمُتَّقِینَ
To the righteous (when) it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say, "All that is good." To those who do good, there is good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better and excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous.
الَّذِینَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ طَیِّبِینَ ۙ یَقُولُونَ سَلَامٌ عَلَیْكُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
(Namely) those whose lives the angels take in a state of purity, saying (to them), "Peace be on you; enter ye the Garden, because of (the good) which ye did (in the world.
هَلْ یَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن تَأْتِیَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ یَأْتِیَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِینَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُونَ
Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls.
وَقَالَ الَّذِینَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَیْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَیْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِینَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِینُ
The worshippers of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of messengers but to preach the Clear Message?
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِی كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَیْهِ الضَّلَالَةُ ۚ فَسِیرُوا فِی الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِینَ
For We assuredly sent amongst every People a messenger, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).
وَلَوْ یُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَیْهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَٰكِن یُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا یَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا یَسْتَقْدِمُونَ
If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour).
ثُمَّ كُلِی مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِی سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ یَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِیهِ شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِی ذَٰلِكَ لَآیَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought.
ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدًا مَّمْلُوكًا لَّا یَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَیْءٍ وَمَن رَّزَقْنَاهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ یُنفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرًّا وَجَهْرًا ۖ هَلْ یَسْتَوُونَ ۚ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُونَ
Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? (By no means;) praise be to Allah. But most of them understand not.
وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَیْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبْكَمُ لَا یَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَیْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَاهُ أَیْنَمَا یُوَجِّههُّ لَا یَأْتِ بِخَیْرٍ ۖ هَلْ یَسْتَوِی هُوَ وَمَن یَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیمٍ
Allah sets forth (another) Parable of two men: one of them dumb, with no power of any sort; a wearisome burden is he to his master; whichever way be directs him, he brings no good: is such a man equal with one who commands Justice, and is on a Straight Way?
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن بُیُوتِكُمْ سَكَنًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ الْأَنْعَامِ بُیُوتًا تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا یَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَیَوْمَ إِقَامَتِكُمْ ۙ وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا أَثَاثًا وَمَتَاعًا إِلَىٰ حِینٍ
It is Allah Who made your habitations homes of rest and quiet for you; and made for you, out of the skins of animals, (tents for) dwellings, which ye find so light (and handy) when ye travel and when ye stop (in your travels); and out of their wool, and their soft fibres (between wool and hair), and their hair, rich stuff and articles of convenience (to serve you) for a time.
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَالًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْجِبَالِ أَكْنَانًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَابِیلَ تَقِیكُمُ الْحَرَّ وَسَرَابِیلَ تَقِیكُم بَأْسَكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ یُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَیْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ
It is Allah Who made out of the things He created, some things to give you shade; of the hills He made some for your shelter; He made you garments to protect you from heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. Thus does He complete His favours on you, that ye may bow to His Will (in Islam).
وَیَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِی كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِیدًا عَلَیْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِیدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰؤُلَاءِ ۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَیْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْیَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِینَ
One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people): and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims.
وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّتِی نَقَضَتْ غَزْلَهَا مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَاثًا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَیْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَیْنَكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِیَ أَرْبَىٰ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ۚ إِنَّمَا یَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ ۚ وَلَیُبَیِّنَنَّ لَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَةِ مَا كُنتُمْ فِیهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ
And be not like a woman who breaks into untwisted strands the yarn which she has spun, after it has become strong. Nor take your oaths to practise deception between yourselves, lest one party should be more numerous than another: for Allah will test you by this; and on the Day of Judgment He will certainly make clear to you (the truth of) that wherein ye disagree.
وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا أَیْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَیْنَكُمْ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمٌ بَعْدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُوا السُّوءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمْ عَن سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَلَكُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمٌ
And take not your oaths, to practise deception between yourselves, with the result that someone´s foot may slip after it was firmly planted, and ye may have to taste the evil (consequences) of having hindered (men) from the Path of Allah, and a Mighty Wrath descend on you.
مَن كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ إِیمَانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِیمَانِ وَلَٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِالْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَیْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمٌ
Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.
وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَرْیَةً كَانَتْ آمِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً یَأْتِیهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذَاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَالْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا یَصْنَعُونَ
Allah sets forth a Parable: a city enjoying security and quiet, abundantly supplied with sustenance from every place: Yet was it ungrateful for the favours of Allah: so Allah made it taste of hunger and terror (in extremes) (closing in on it) like a garment (from every side), because of the (evil) which (its people) wrought.
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنزِیرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَیْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَیْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِیمٌ
He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِیلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِی هِیَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِیلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِینَ
Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.
