اَلْاَ نْبِيَآء
112 Ayaat مکیۃ
وَ لِسُلَیْمٰنَ الرِّیْحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِیْ بِاَمْرِهٖۤ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الَّتِیْ بٰرَكْنَا فِیْهَاؕ-وَ كُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عٰلِمِیْنَ(۸۱)
We made tempestuous winds obedient to Solomon which blew swiftly to sail at his bidding (with his ships) to the land We had blessed. We are cognisant of everything.
(It was Our power that made) the violent (unruly) wind flow (tamely) for Solomon, to his order, to the land which We had blessed: for We do know all things.
وَ مِنَ الشَّیٰطِیْنِ مَنْ یَّغُوْصُوْنَ لَهٗ وَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ عَمَلًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَۚ-وَ كُنَّا لَهُمْ حٰفِظِیْنَۙ(۸۲)
And many of the devils (We also made obedient to him) who dived for him, and did many other things; and We kept watch over them.
And of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work besides; and it was We Who guarded them.
وَ اَیُّوْبَ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗۤ اَنِّیْ مَسَّنِیَ الضُّرُّ وَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَۚۖ(۸۳)
(Remember) Job when he called to his Lord: "I am afflicted with distress, and You are the most compassionate of all."
And (remember) Job, when He cried to his Lord, "Truly distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful of those that are merciful."
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَّ اٰتَیْنٰهُ اَهْلَهٗ وَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَ ذِكْرٰى لِلْعٰبِدِیْنَ(۸۴)
So We heard his cry and relieved him of the misery he was in. We restored his family to him, and along with them gave him others similar to them as a grace from Us and reminder for those who are obedient.
So We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him, and doubled their number,- as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who serve Us.
وَ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَ اِدْرِیْسَ وَ ذَا الْكِفْلِؕ-كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَۚۖ(۸۵)
(Remember) Ishmael, Edris and Dhu´l-Kifl. They were men of fortitude,
And (remember) Isma'il, Idris, and Zul-kifl, all (men) of constancy and patience;
وَ اَدْخَلْنٰهُمْ فِیْ رَحْمَتِنَاؕ-اِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۸۶)
And they were admitted to Our grace. Verily they were among the doers of good.
We admitted them to Our mercy: for they were of the righteous ones.
وَ ذَا النُّوْنِ اِذْ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَّنْ نَّقْدِرَ عَلَیْهِ فَنَادٰى فِی الظُّلُمٰتِ اَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْتَ سُبْحٰنَكَ ﳓ اِنِّیْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَۚۖ(۸۷)
And (remember) Dhu´n-Noon (Jonah of the fish), when he went away in anger and imagined We will not test him (with distress). Then he called out from the darkness: "There is no god other than You. All glory to You; surely I was a sinner.
And remember Zun-nun, when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him! But he cried through the deptHs of darkness, "There is no god but thou: glory to thee: I was indeed wrong!"
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗۙ-وَ نَجَّیْنٰهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّؕ-وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُـْۨجِی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۸۸)
We heard his cry, and saved him from the anguish. That is how We deliver those who believe.
So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith.
وَ زَكَرِیَّاۤ اِذْ نَادٰى رَبَّهٗ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِیْ فَرْدًا وَّ اَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْوٰرِثِیْنَۚۖ(۸۹)
(Remember) Zachariah when he called to his Lord: "Do not leave me alone (and childless), for you are the best of givers."
And (remember) Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: "O my Lord! leave me not without offspring, though thou art the best of inheritors."
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهٗ٘-وَ وَهَبْنَا لَهٗ یَحْیٰى وَ اَصْلَحْنَا لَهٗ زَوْجَهٗؕ-اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا یُسٰرِعُوْنَ فِی الْخَیْرٰتِ وَ یَدْعُوْنَنَا رَغَبًا وَّ رَهَبًاؕ-وَ كَانُوْا لَنَا خٰشِعِیْنَ(۹۰)
So We heard him and gave him John, and cured his wife (of barrenness). These were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with love and awe, and were meek before Us.
So We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's (Barrenness) for him. These (three) were ever quick in emulation in good works; they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble themselves before Us.
وَ الَّتِیْۤ اَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِیْهَا مِنْ رُّوْحِنَا وَ جَعَلْنٰهَا وَ ابْنَهَاۤ اٰیَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۹۱)
(Remember) her who preserved her chastity, into whom We breathed a new life from Us, and made her and her son a token for mankind.
And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.
اِنَّ هٰذِهٖۤ اُمَّتُكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً ﳲ وَّ اَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْنِ(۹۲)
Verily this your order is one order, and I am your Lord; so worship Me.
Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other).
وَ تَقَطَّعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ بَیْنَهُمْؕ-كُلٌّ اِلَیْنَا رٰجِعُوْنَ۠(۹۳)
But they split up the order among themselves; (yet) all of them have to come back to Me.
But (later generations) cut off their affair (of unity), one from another: (yet) will they all return to Us.
فَمَنْ یَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْیِهٖۚ-وَ اِنَّا لَهٗ كٰتِبُوْنَ(۹۴)
So he who does the right and is a believer, will not have his labour denied, for We are congnisant of it.
Whoever works any act of righteousness and has faith,- His endeavour will not be rejected: We shall record it in his favour.
وَ حَرٰمٌ عَلٰى قَرْیَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَاۤ اَنَّهُمْ لَا یَرْجِعُوْنَ(۹۵)
It is imperative that a habitation We have destroyed will not desist (from unbelief)
But there is a ban on any population which We have destroyed: that they shall not return,
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا فُتِحَتْ یَاْجُوْجُ وَ مَاْجُوْجُ وَ هُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ یَّنْسِلُوْنَ(۹۶)
Until when the way is opened up for Gog and Magog and they press from every elevated place,
Until the Gog and Magog (people) are let through (their barrier), and they swiftly swarm from every hill.
وَ اقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَاِذَا هِیَ شَاخِصَةٌ اَبْصَارُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ-یٰوَیْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِیْ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظٰلِمِیْنَ(۹۷)
And the certain promise (of Doom) comes near. Then the eyes of unbelievers will be fixed in horror, (and they will cry:) "Ah, woe betide, we were indeed heedless of this, and were oppressors and unjust."
Then will the true promise draw nigh (of fulfilment): then behold! the eyes of the Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: "Ah! Woe to us! we were indeed heedless of this; nay, we truly did wrong!"
اِنَّكُمْ وَ مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَؕ-اَنْتُمْ لَهَا وٰرِدُوْنَ(۹۸)
Verily you and those you worship other than God will be faggots for Hell; and come to it you will.
Verily ye, (unbelievers), and the (false) gods that ye worship besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell! to it will ye (surely) come!
لَوْ كَانَ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ اٰلِهَةً مَّا وَرَدُوْهَاؕ-وَ كُلٌّ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(۹۹)
Had they really been gods they would not have entered it: They will all abide in it for ever.
If these had been gods, they would not have got there! but each one will abide therein.
لَهُمْ فِیْهَا زَفِیْرٌ وَّ هُمْ فِیْهَا لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ(۱۰۰)
There will only be groaning for them, and they will not hear any thing.
There, sobbing will be their lot, nor will they there hear (aught else).
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِّنَّا الْحُسْنٰۤىۙ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُوْنَۙ(۱۰۱)
But those for whom a good reward had been fore-ordained by Us, will be far removed from it,
Those for whom the good (record) from Us has gone before, will be removed far therefrom.
لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ حَسِیْسَهَاۚ-وَ هُمْ فِیْ مَا اشْتَهَتْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ خٰلِدُوْنَۚ(۱۰۲)
And will not hear its hissing, and will live for ever in the midst of what their hearts desire.
Not the slightest sound will they hear of Hell: what their souls desired, in that will they dwell.
لَا یَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْاَكْبَرُ وَ تَتَلَقّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُؕ-هٰذَا یَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِیْ كُنْتُمْ تُوْعَدُوْنَ(۱۰۳)
They will have safety from the mighty terror, and angels will receive them, (saying:) "This is your day which had been promised you."
The Great Terror will bring them no grief: but the angels will meet them (with mutual greetings): "This is your Day,- (the Day) that ye were promised."
یَوْمَ نَطْوِی السَّمَآءَ كَطَیِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِؕ-كَمَا بَدَاْنَاۤ اَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِیْدُهٗؕ-وَعْدًا عَلَیْنَاؕ-اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِیْنَ(۱۰۴)
The day We shall roll up the heavens like a written scroll, We shall revert it (to nothing) as it was before We first created it. This is a promise incumbent on Us; We will certainly fulfil it.
The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it.
وَ لَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِی الزَّبُوْرِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ اَنَّ الْاَرْضَ یَرِثُهَا عِبَادِیَ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ(۱۰۵)
We had prescribed in the Book of Psalms after the reminder and admonition, that those of Our creatures who are good will in the end rule the earth.
Before this We wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth."
اِنَّ فِیْ هٰذَا لَبَلٰغًا لِّقَوْمٍ عٰبِدِیْنَؕ(۱۰۶)
Verily there is a message in this for people who are devout.
Verily in this (Qur'an) is a Message for people who would (truly) worship Allah.
وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۱۰۷)
We have sent you as a benevolence to the creatures of the world.
We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures.
قُلْ اِنَّمَا یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیَّ اَنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌۚ-فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ(۱۰۸)
Say: "This is what has been revealed to me: ´Your God is one and only God.´ So will you bow in homage to Him?"
Say: "What has come to me by inspiration is that your Allah is One Allah: will ye therefore bow to His Will (in Islam)?"
فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ اٰذَنْتُكُمْ عَلٰى سَوَآءٍؕ-وَ اِنْ اَدْرِیْۤ اَقَرِیْبٌ اَمْ بَعِیْدٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ(۱۰۹)
If they turn away, tell them: "I have warned you all alike. I do not know if what has been promised you is near or far away.
But if they turn back, Say: "I have proclaimed the Message to you all alike and in truth; but I know not whether that which ye are promised is near or far.
اِنَّهٗ یَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَ یَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُوْنَ(۱۱۰)
He knows surely what you say aloud, and what you hide within your breasts.
"It is He Who knows what is open in speech and what ye hide (in your hearts).
وَ اِنْ اَدْرِیْ لَعَلَّهٗ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَ مَتَاعٌ اِلٰى حِیْنٍ(۱۱۱)
I do not know if this be a trial for you, or a little advantage for a while."
"I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of (worldly) livelihood (to you) for a time."
قٰلَ رَبِّ احْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ-وَ رَبُّنَا الرَّحْمٰنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰى مَا تَصِفُوْنَ۠(۱۱۲)
"Judge in truth (between us), O Lord," he said. "Our Lord is merciful, whose help we seek against what you attribute."
Say: "O my Lord! judge Thou in truth!" "Our Lord Most Gracious is the One Whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies ye utter!"
