اَلْحَجّ
78 Ayaat مدنیۃ
اَلَّذِیْنَ اِنْ مَّكَّنّٰهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اَمَرُوْا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ نَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِؕ-وَ لِلّٰهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْاُمُوْرِ(۴۱)
Those who would be firm in devotion, give zakat, and enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong, if We gave them authority in the land. But the resultance of things rests with God.
(They are) those who, if We establish them in the land, establish regular prayer and give regular charity, enjoin the right and forbid wrong: with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs.
وَ اِنْ یُّكَذِّبُوْكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّ عَادٌ وَّ ثَمُوْدُۙ(۴۲)
If they accuse you of falsehood, (remember that) the people of Noah, ´Ad and Thamud had accused (their apostles) before,
If they treat thy (mission) as false, so did the peoples before them (with their prophets),- the People of Noah, and 'Ad and Thamud;
Those of Abraham and Lut;
وَّ اَصْحٰبُ مَدْیَنَۚ-وَ كُذِّبَ مُوْسٰى فَاَمْلَیْتُ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْۚ-فَكَیْفَ كَانَ نَكِیْرِ(۴۴)
And the people of Midian too. Moses was also accused of lies. So I allowed the infidels respite and then seized them. How was My reprobation then!
And the Companions of the Madyan People; and Moses was rejected (in the same way). But I granted respite to the Unbelievers, and (only) after that did I punish them: but how (terrible) was my rejection (of them)!
فَكَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَا وَ هِیَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِیَ خَاوِیَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوْشِهَا وَ بِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَّ قَصْرٍ مَّشِیْدٍ(۴۵)
How many a habitation given to wickedness have We destroyed, whose roofs tumbled down, which fell into ruins. How many a well and fortress reinforced lie abandoned!
How many populations have We destroyed, which were given to wrong-doing? They tumbled down on their roofs. And how many wells are lying idle and neglected, and castles lofty and well-built?
اَفَلَمْ یَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَتَكُوْنَ لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ بِهَاۤ اَوْ اٰذَانٌ یَّسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَاۚ-فَاِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْاَبْصَارُ وَ لٰكِنْ تَعْمَى الْقُلُوْبُ الَّتِیْ فِی الصُّدُوْرِ(۴۶)
Have they not travelled in the land that they could have the heart to understand, and ears to hear? It is not the eyes alone that do not see, oblivious are the hearts within their breasts.
Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts.
وَ یَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَ لَنْ یُّخْلِفَ اللّٰهُ وَعْدَهٗؕ-وَ اِنَّ یَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَاَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوْنَ(۴۷)
That is how they ask you to hasten the punishment; but God does not go back on His promise. Verily a day with your Lord is equal by your reckoning to a thousand years.
Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! But Allah will not fail in His Promise. Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
وَ كَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ اَمْلَیْتُ لَهَا وَ هِیَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهَاۚ-وَ اِلَیَّ الْمَصِیْرُ۠(۴۸)
To how many habitations did We give respite, though given to wickedness, and then seized them. To Me they had to come back in the end.
And to how many populations did I give respite, which were given to wrong-doing? in the end I punished them. To me is the destination (of all).
قُلْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا لَكُمْ نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌۚ(۴۹)
Tell them: "O men, it´s my duty to warn you clearly."
Say: "O men! I am (sent) to you only to give a Clear Warning:
فَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّ رِزْقٌ كَرِیْمٌ(۵۰)
For those who believe and do the right is forgiveness and gracious provision.
"Those who believe and work righteousness, for them is forgiveness and a sustenance most generous.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ سَعَوْا فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِنَا مُعٰجِزِیْنَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِیْمِ(۵۱)
But those who try to defeat Our signs are people of Hell.
"But those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them,- they will be Companions of the Fire."
وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ وَّ لَا نَبِیٍّ اِلَّاۤ اِذَا تَمَنّٰۤى اَلْقَى الشَّیْطٰنُ فِیْۤ اُمْنِیَّتِهٖۚ-فَیَنْسَخُ اللّٰهُ مَا یُلْقِی الشَّیْطٰنُ ثُمَّ یُحْكِمُ اللّٰهُ اٰیٰتِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌۙ(۵۲)
We have sent no messenger or apostle before you with whose recitations Satan did not tamper. Yet God abrogates what Satan interpolates; then He confirms His revelations, for God is all-knowing and all-wise.
Never did We send a messenger or a prophet before thee, but, when he framed a desire, Satan threw some (vanity) into his desire: but Allah will cancel anything (vain) that Satan throws in, and Allah will confirm (and establish) His Signs: for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom:
لِّیَجْعَلَ مَا یُلْقِی الشَّیْطٰنُ فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ وَّ الْقَاسِیَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْؕ-وَ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَفِیْ شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِیْدٍۙ(۵۳)
This is in order to make the interpolations of Satan a test for those whose hearts are diseased and hardened: Surely the sinners have gone far in dissent.
That He may make the suggestions thrown in by Satan, but a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease and who are hardened of heart: verily the wrong-doers are in a schism far (from the Truth):
وَّ لِیَعْلَمَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ فَیُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٖ فَتُخْبِتَ لَهٗ قُلُوْبُهُمْؕ-وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهَادِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(۵۴)
At the same time those who have been given knowledge may know that this is the truth from your Lord, and come to believe in it, and their hearts become submissive to Him. Verily God guides those who believe, to the even path.
And that those on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Qur'an) is the Truth from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may be made humbly (open) to it: for verily Allah is the Guide of those who believe, to the Straight Way.
وَ لَا یَزَالُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْهُ حَتّٰى تَاْتِیَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً اَوْ یَاْتِیَهُمْ عَذَابُ یَوْمٍ عَقِیْمٍ(۵۵)
The infidels will remain in doubt about it till the Hour overtakes them unawares, or the punishment of the barren day destructive should come upon them.
Those who reject Faith will not cease to be in doubt concerning (Revelation) until the Hour (of Judgment) comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the Penalty of a Day of Disaster.
اَلْمُلْكُ یَوْمَىٕذٍ لِّلّٰهِؕ-یَحْكُمُ بَیْنَهُمْؕ-فَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِیْ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِیْمِ(۵۶)
The order will be God´s on that Day; He will judge between them. Then those who had come to believe and done the right will be in gardens of delight.
On that Day of Dominion will be that of Allah: He will judge between them: so those who believe and work righteous deeds will be in Gardens of Delight.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ۠(۵۷)
But those who did not believe and called Our revelations lies, will be given disgraceful punishment.
And for those who reject Faith and deny our Signs, there will be a humiliating Punishment.
وَ الَّذِیْنَ هَاجَرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوْۤا اَوْ مَاتُوْا لَیَرْزُقَنَّهُمُ اللّٰهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًاؕ-وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ خَیْرُ الرّٰزِقِیْنَ(۵۸)
Those who left their homes in the way of God, and then were killed or died, will surely be given a better provision by God, for God is surely the best of providers.
Those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die,- On them will Allah bestow verily a goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best provision.
لَیُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ مُّدْخَلًا یَّرْضَوْنَهٗؕ-وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَلِیْمٌ حَلِیْمٌ(۵۹)
God will surely lead them to a place with which they will be gratified. Verily God is all-knowing and forbearing.
Verily He will admit them to a place with which they shall be well pleased: for Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
ذٰلِكَۚ-وَ مَنْ عَاقَبَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوْقِبَ بِهٖ ثُمَّ بُغِیَ عَلَیْهِ لَیَنْصُرَنَّهُ اللّٰهُؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُوْرٌ(۶۰)
Whosoever retaliates to the extent of injury suffered by him, and is wronged again, will certainly be helped by God. Verily God is forgiving and kind.
That (is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, Allah will help him: for Allah is One that blots out (sins) and forgives (again and again).
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُوْلِجُ الَّیْلَ فِی النَّهَارِ وَ یُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِی الَّیْلِ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌۢ بَصِیْرٌ(۶۱)
That is so for God turns night into day and day into night, for God is all-hearing and all-seeing;
That is because Allah merges night into day, and He merges day into night, and verily it is Allah Who hears and sees (all things).
ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَ اَنَّ مَا یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ هُوَ الْبَاطِلُ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْعَلِیُّ الْكَبِیْرُ(۶۲)
That is so for God is the undeniable truth, and what they invoke apart from Him is false; yet God is all-high and supreme.
That is because Allah - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom they invoke,- they are but vain Falsehood: verily Allah is He, Most High, Most Great.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً٘-فَتُصْبِحُ الْاَرْضُ مُخْضَرَّةًؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَطِیْفٌ خَبِیْرٌۚ(۶۳)
Do you not see how God sends down water from the sky and in the morning the earth turns green? Truly God is benign and well-informed.
Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and forthwith the earth becomes clothed with green? for Allah is He Who understands the finest mysteries, and is well-acquainted (with them).
لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ الْغَنِیُّ الْحَمِیْدُ۠(۶۴)
Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Surely God is all-sufficing, worthy of praise.
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: for verily Allah,- He is free of all wants, Worthy of all Praise.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ الْفُلْكَ تَجْرِیْ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِاَمْرِهٖؕ-وَ یُمْسِكُ السَّمَآءَ اَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۶۵)
Do you not see God has harnessed all that is in the earth, to your service? And the boats ply in the ocean by His command. He holds the sky in position lest it should fall upon the earth save by His dispensation. Verily God is compassionate and kind to men.
Seest thou not that Allah has made subject to you (men) all that is on the earth, and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command? He withholds the sky (rain) from failing on the earth except by His leave: for Allah is Most Kind and Most Merciful to man.
وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَحْیَاكُمْ٘-ثُمَّ یُمِیْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ یُحْیِیْكُمْؕ-اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَكَفُوْرٌ(۶۶)
It is He who gives you life, then makes you die; then He will bring you back to life again. Man is surely most ungrateful.
It is He Who gave you life, will cause you to die, and will again give you life: Truly man is a most ungrateful creature!
لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوْهُ فَلَا یُنَازِعُنَّكَ فِی الْاَمْرِ وَ ادْعُ اِلٰى رَبِّكَؕ-اِنَّكَ لَعَلٰى هُدًى مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(۶۷)
We have determined for each community a way of worship which they follow. So they should not contend with you in this matter; and you should go on calling them to your Lord. You are surely on the right path.
To every People have We appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow: let them not then dispute with thee on the matter, but do thou invite (them) to thy Lord: for thou art assuredly on the Right Way.
وَ اِنْ جٰدَلُوْكَ فَقُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۶۸)
If they argue with you, tell them: "God knows well what you are doing.
If they do wrangle with thee, say, "Allah knows best what it is ye are doing."
اَللّٰهُ یَحْكُمُ بَیْنَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فِیْمَا كُنْتُمْ فِیْهِ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ(۶۹)
God will judge between you on the Day of Judgement in what you are at variance."
"Allah will judge between you on the Day of Judgment concerning the matters in which ye differ."
اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِی السَّمَآءِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ فِیْ كِتٰبٍؕ-اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ یَسِیْرٌ(۷۰)
Do you not know that God knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth? This is surely in accordance with the law. This is certainly how (the law of) God works inevitably.
Knowest thou not that Allah knows all that is in heaven and on earth? Indeed it is all in a Record, and that is easy for Allah.
وَ یَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ یُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ سُلْطٰنًا وَّ مَا لَیْسَ لَهُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌؕ-وَ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ مِنْ نَّصِیْرٍ(۷۱)
Yet they worship in place of God that for which no authority has been sent to them, and of which they have no knowledge. The wicked will have none to help them.
Yet they worship, besides Allah, things for which no authority has been sent down to them, and of which they have (really) no knowledge: for those that do wrong there is no helper.
وَ اِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ تَعْرِفُ فِیْ وُجُوْهِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الْمُنْكَرَؕ-یَكَادُوْنَ یَسْطُوْنَ بِالَّذِیْنَ یَتْلُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتِنَاؕ-قُلْ اَفَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِّنْ ذٰلِكُمْؕ-اَلنَّارُؕ-وَعَدَهَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ-وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ۠(۷۲)
When Our clear messages are read out to them you can see denial on the faces of unbelievers. They can hardly restrain themselves from attacking those who recite Our revelations. Tell them: "Should I give you news of something worse than this?" -- Hell, which God has promised the infidels. How evil a destination!
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, thou wilt notice a denial on the faces of the Unbelievers! they nearly attack with violence those who rehearse Our Signs to them. Say, "Shall I tell you of something (far) worse than these Signs? It is the Fire (of Hell)! Allah has promised it to the Unbelievers! and evil is that destination!"
یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗؕ-اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ لَنْ یَّخْلُقُوْا ذُبَابًا وَّ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوْا لَهٗؕ-وَ اِنْ یَّسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَیْــٴًـا لَّا یَسْتَنْقِذُوْهُ مِنْهُؕ-ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَ الْمَطْلُوْبُ(۷۳)
O men, give ear to this parable: Those you worship other than God can never create as much as a fly, even if they get together to do so; and if the fly were to rob them of a thing they would not be able to snatch it away from it. How weak the seeker and how weak the sought!
O men! Here is a parable set forth! listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!
مَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهٖؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِیٌّ عَزِیْزٌ(۷۴)
They do not esteem God with the right estimation. God is surely all-powerful and all-mighty.
No just estimate have they made of Allah: for Allah is He Who is strong and able to Carry out His Will.
اَللّٰهُ یَصْطَفِیْ مِنَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةِ رُسُلًا وَّ مِنَ النَّاسِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌۢ بَصِیْرٌۚ(۷۵)
God chooses messengers from the angels and human beings. Verily God is all-hearing and all-seeing.
Allah chooses messengers from angels and from men for Allah is He Who hears and sees (all things).
یَعْلَمُ مَا بَیْنَ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ مَا خَلْفَهُمْؕ-وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ(۷۶)
He knows what is before them and what lies behind them, and all things go back to God.
He knows what is before them and what is behind them: and to Allah go back all questions (for decision).
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا ارْكَعُوْا وَ اسْجُدُوْا وَ اعْبُدُوْا رَبَّكُمْ وَ افْعَلُوا الْخَیْرَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَۚ۩(۷۷)
O you who believe, bow in adoration, Worship your Lord and do what is good that you may find success.
O ye who believe! bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper.
وَ جَاهِدُوْا فِی اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖؕ-هُوَ اجْتَبٰىكُمْ وَ مَا جَعَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍؕ-مِلَّةَ اَبِیْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَؕ-هُوَ سَمّٰىكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ ﳔ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ فِیْ هٰذَا لِیَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ شَهِیْدًا عَلَیْكُمْ وَ تَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ۚۖ-فَاَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اعْتَصِمُوْا بِاللّٰهِؕ-هُوَ مَوْلٰىكُمْۚ-فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰى وَ نِعْمَ النَّصِیْرُ۠(۷۸)
Strive in the way of God with a service worthy of Him. He has chosen you and laid no hardship on you in the way of faith, the faith of your forbear Abraham. He named you Muslim earlier, and in this (Qur´an), in order that the Prophet be witness over you, and you be witness over mankind. So be firm in devotion, pay the zakat, and hold on firmly to God. He is your friend: How excellent a friend is He, how excellent a helper!
And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!
