18:0
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْزَلَ عَلٰى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتٰبَ وَ لَمْ یَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ عِوَجًاؕٚ(۱)
ALL PRAISE BE to God who has revealed to His votary the Book which is free of all obliquity,
Praise be to Allah, Who hath sent to His Servant the Book, and hath allowed therein no Crookedness:
قَیِّمًا لِّیُنْذِرَ بَاْسًا شَدِیْدًا مِّنْ لَّدُنْهُ وَ یُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ الَّذِیْنَ یَعْمَلُوْنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَهُمْ اَجْرًا حَسَنًاۙ(۲)
Immutable, so that it may warn of a severe punishment from Him; and give happy tidings to those who believe and do the right that there is a better reward (of Paradise) for them,
(He hath made it) Straight (and Clear) in order that He may warn (the godless) of a terrible Punishment from Him, and that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward,
Wherein they shall remain for ever:
وَّ یُنْذِرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدًاۗ(۴)
And that it may warn those who say: "God has begotten a son."
Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, "Allah hath begotten a son":
مَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَّ لَا لِاٰبَآىٕهِمْؕ-كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُ جُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْؕ-اِنْ یَّقُوْلُوْنَ اِلَّا كَذِبًا(۵)
They have no knowledge of this, as their fathers did not have. How terrible are the words they utter! They speak nothing but lies.
No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!
فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰۤى اٰثَارِهِمْ اِنْ لَّمْ یُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِیْثِ اَسَفًا(۶)
Will you kill yourself for grief of them if they do not believe in this presentation?
Thou wouldst only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in grief, if they believe not in this Message.
اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْاَرْضِ زِیْنَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ اَیُّهُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا(۷)
We have made whatever exists on the earth its adornment to test and try them (and) know who acts better;
That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
وَ اِنَّا لَجٰعِلُوْنَ مَا عَلَیْهَا صَعِیْدًا جُرُزًاؕ(۸)
For We shall certainly turn it to barren dust.
Verily what is on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).
اَمْ حَسِبْتَ اَنَّ اَصْحٰبَ الْكَهْفِ وَ الرَّقِیْمِۙ-كَانُوْا مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَا عَجَبًا(۹)
Do you think the men of the cave and Ar-Raqim were so strange among Our signs?
Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the Inscription were wonders among Our Sign?
اِذْ اَوَى الْفِتْیَةُ اِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَاۤ اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَّ هَیِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا(۱۰)
When those young men took shelter in the cave, and prayed: "O Lord, grant us Your favour and dispose our affair aright,"
Behold, the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, "Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!"
فَضَرَبْنَا عَلٰۤى اٰذَانِهِمْ فِی الْكَهْفِ سِنِیْنَ عَدَدًاۙ(۱۱)
We sealed off their ears in the cave for a number of years,
Then We draw (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not):
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ اَیُّ الْحِزْبَیْنِ اَحْصٰى لِمَا لَبِثُوْۤا اَمَدًا۠(۱۲)
Then roused them to ascertain which of the two groups could account for the period they had stayed.
Then We roused them, in order to test which of the two parties was best at calculating the term of years they had tarried!
نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ نَبَاَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ-اِنَّهُمْ فِتْیَةٌ اٰمَنُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَ زِدْنٰهُمْ هُدًىۗۖ(۱۳)
We narrate their story to you in all truth. They were a few young men who believed in their Lord; so We gave them greater guidance.
We relate to thee their story in truth: they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We advanced them in guidance:
وَّ رَبَطْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِذْ قَامُوْا فَقَالُوْا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ لَنْ نَّدْعُوَاۡ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلٰهًا لَّقَدْ قُلْنَاۤ اِذًا شَطَطًا(۱۴)
And strengthened their hearts when they stood up and said: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We shall invoke no god beside Him, for we shall have uttered a blasphemy then.
We gave strength to their hearts: Behold, they stood up and said: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and of the earth: never shall we call upon any god other than Him: if we did, we should indeed have uttered an enormity!
هٰۤؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةًؕ-لَوْ لَا یَاْتُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍۭ بَیِّنٍؕ-فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاؕ(۱۵)
As for these our people here, they have taken to other gods apart from Him. Then why do they not bring a clear authority for them? Who is more wicked than he who fabricates a lie against God?"
"These our people have taken for worship gods other than Him: why do they not bring forward an authority clear (and convincing) for what they do? Who doth more wrong than such as invent a falsehood against Allah?
وَ اِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوْهُمْ وَ مَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَاْوٗۤا اِلَى الْكَهْفِ یَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ وَ یُهَیِّئْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَمْرِكُمْ مِّرْفَقًا(۱۶)
(And they said to each other:) "Now that you have withdrawn from them and what they worship beside God, it is better to take refuge in the cave. Your Lord may bestow of His mercy on you, and facilitate your affair."
"When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourselves to the Cave: Your Lord will shower His mercies on you and disposes of your affair towards comfort and ease."
وَ تَرَى الشَّمْسَ اِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَّزٰوَرُ عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْیَمِیْنِ وَ اِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَ هُمْ فِیْ فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُؕ-ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِؕ-مَنْ یَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِۚ-وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ وَلِیًّا مُّرْشِدًا۠(۱۷)
You may well have seen when the sun came up it moved away to the right of the cave, and when it went down it turned away to the left, and they stayed in its open space. This was among the signs of God. Whoever is guided by God follows the right path; and whosoever goes astray will not find a guide to show him the way.
Thou wouldst have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from their Cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the open space in the midst of the Cave. Such are among the Signs of Allah: He whom Allah, guides is rightly guided; but he whom Allah leaves to stray,- for him wilt thou find no protector to lead him to the Right Way.
وَ تَحْسَبُهُمْ اَیْقَاظًا وَّ هُمْ رُقُوْدٌ ﳓ وَّ نُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْیَمِیْنِ وَ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ﳓ وَ كَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَیْهِ بِالْوَصِیْدِؕ-لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ لَوَلَّیْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَّ لَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا(۱۸)
You may have thought that they were awake, yet they were asleep. We made them turn right and left, while their dog lay with his forelegs stretched across the threshold. If you had looked at them you would have surely turned away and fled with horror at the sight.
Thou wouldst have deemed them awake, whilst they were asleep, and We turned them on their right and on their left sides: their dog stretching forth his two fore-legs on the threshold: if thou hadst come up on to them, thou wouldst have certainly turned back from them in flight, and wouldst certainly have been filled with terror of them.
وَ كَذٰلِكَ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِیَتَسَآءَلُوْا بَیْنَهُمْؕ-قَالَ قَآىٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْؕ-قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا یَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ یَوْمٍؕ-قَالُوْا رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْؕ-فَابْعَثُوْۤا اَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هٰذِهٖۤ اِلَى الْمَدِیْنَةِ فَلْیَنْظُرْ اَیُّهَاۤ اَزْكٰى طَعَامًا فَلْیَاْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَ لْیَتَؔلَطَّفْ وَ لَا یُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ اَحَدًا(۱۹)
Even so We roused them that they may question one another. One of them asked: "How long have you stayed here?" They said: "A day or less than a day." "Your Lord knows best," they said, "how long you have stayed. So send one of you to the town with this money of yours to look for wholesome food and bring it for you; but he should be careful not to let your presence known.
Such (being their state), we raised them up (from sleep), that they might question each other. Said one of them, "How long have ye stayed (here)?" They said, "We have stayed (perhaps) a day, or part of a day." (At length) they (all) said, "Allah (alone) knows best how long ye have stayed here.... Now send ye then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food (to be had) and bring some to you, that (ye may) satisfy your hunger therewith: And let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform any one about you.
اِنَّهُمْ اِنْ یَّظْهَرُوْا عَلَیْكُمْ یَرْجُمُوْكُمْ اَوْ یُعِیْدُوْكُمْ فِیْ مِلَّتِهِمْ وَ لَنْ تُفْلِحُوْۤا اِذًا اَبَدًا(۲۰)
If they come to know of you they will stone you to death, or force you to go back to their creed; then you will never succeed."
"For if they should come upon you, they would stone you or force you to return to their cult, and in that case ye would never attain prosperity."
وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ لِیَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّ اَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا ﱐ اِذْ یَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَیْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ بُنْیَانًاؕ-رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْؕ-قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰۤى اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا(۲۱)
Thus did We inform the people about them that they may know the promise of God is true, and there is no doubt that the Hour will come. As they were arguing among themselves as to what should be done with them, (some) said: "Erect a monument over them. Their Lord is best cognisant of them." Those who prevailed, said: "We shall build a place of worship over their (sepulchre)."
Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."
سَیَقُوْلُوْنَ ثَلٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْۚ-وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًۢا بِالْغَیْبِۚ-وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ سَبْعَةٌ وَّ ثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْؕ-قُلْ رَّبِّیْۤ اَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَّا یَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ ﲕ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِیْهِمْ اِلَّا مِرَآءً ظَاهِرًا۪-وَّ لَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِیْهِمْ مِّنْهُمْ اَحَدًا۠(۲۲)
Some will say: "They were three, and their dog was the fourth;" and some will also say: "They were five and their dog was the sixth," -- guessing in the dark. And some will even say: "They were seven, and their dog the eighth." Say: "My Lord alone knows best their number; none but only a few know of them." So do not argue about it with them but lightly, and do not enquire about them from any one of them.
(Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown; (yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their (real case)." Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers.
وَ لَا تَقُوْلَنَّ لِشَایْءٍ اِنِّیْ فَاعِلٌ ذٰلِكَ غَدًاۙ(۲۳)
Do not say of any thing: "I will do it tomorrow,"
Nor say of anything, "I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow"-
اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ٘-وَ اذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ اِذَا نَسِیْتَ وَ قُلْ عَسٰۤى اَنْ یَّهْدِیَنِ رَبِّیْ لِاَقْرَبَ مِنْ هٰذَا رَشَدًا(۲۴)
Without (adding), "if God may please;" and think of your Lord in ease you forget, and say: "Perhaps my Lord will show me a nearer way to rectitude."
Without adding, "So please Allah!" and call thy Lord to mind when thou forgettest, and say, "I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer (even) than this to the right road."
وَ لَبِثُوْا فِیْ كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلٰثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِیْنَ وَ ازْدَادُوْا تِسْعًا(۲۵)
(It is said) they stayed in the cave three hundred years and nine.
So they stayed in their Cave three hundred years, and (some) add nine (more)
قُلِ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوْاۚ-لَهٗ غَیْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-اَبْصِرْ بِهٖ وَ اَسْمِعْؕ-مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ٘-وَّ لَا یُشْرِكُ فِیْ حُكْمِهٖۤ اَحَدًا(۲۶)
You say: "God only knows how long they stayed. He alone knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth. How distinctly He sees and hears! They have no other guardian but Him, and He does not share His authority with any one."
Say: "Allah knows best how long they stayed: with Him is (the knowledge of) the secrets of the heavens and the earth: how clearly He sees, how finely He hears (everything)! They have no protector other than Him; nor does He share His Command with any person whatsoever.
وَ اتْلُ مَاۤ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ رَبِّكَۚ- لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِهٖۚ-وَ لَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًا(۲۷)
Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no one who can change the word of God; and you will not find refuge except in Him.
And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him.
وَ اصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدٰوةِ وَ الْعَشِیِّ یُرِیْدُوْنَ وَجْهَهٗ وَ لَا تَعْدُ عَیْنٰكَ عَنْهُمْۚ-تُرِیْدُ زِیْنَةَ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاۚ-وَ لَا تُطِعْ مَنْ اَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهٗ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ وَ كَانَ اَمْرُهٗ فُرُطًا(۲۸)
Persevere with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His magnificence. Do not turn your eyes away from them, seeking the splendours of this world, and do not follow him whose heart We have made oblivious to Our remembrance, who follows his own lust and exceeds the bound.
And keep thy soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face; and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; no obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds.
وَ قُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ- فَمَنْ شَآءَ فَلْیُؤْمِنْ وَّ مَنْ شَآءَ فَلْیَكْفُرْۙ-اِنَّاۤ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ نَارًاۙ-اَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَاؕ-وَ اِنْ یَّسْتَغِیْثُوْا یُغَاثُوْا بِمَآءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ یَشْوِی الْوُجُوْهَؕ-بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُؕ-وَ سَآءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا(۲۹)
Say: "The truth is from your Lord: So believe if you like, or do not believe if you will." We have prepared for the sinners a fire which will envelope them in its tent. If they ask for water they will be helped to liquid like molten brass that would scald their mouths. How evil the drink, and evil the resting-place!
Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!
اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اِنَّا لَا نُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ مَنْ اَحْسَنَ عَمَلًاۚ(۳۰)
But surely We do not let the reward of those who believe and do the right to go waste.
As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a (single) righteous deed.
اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهٰرُ یُحَلَّوْنَ فِیْهَا مِنْ اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّ یَلْبَسُوْنَ ثِیَابًا خُضْرًا مِّنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَّ اِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـٕیْنَ فِیْهَا عَلَى الْاَرَآىٕكِؕ-نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُؕ-وَ حَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا۠(۳۱)
There will be gardens of Eden for them, with rivers flowing by, where they will be decked in bracelets of gold, with silken robes of green and of brocades to wear, reclining on couches. How excellent the guerdon, and excellent the resting-place!
For them will be Gardens of Eternity; beneath them rivers will flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade: They will recline therein on raised thrones. How good the recompense! How beautiful a couch to recline on!
وَ اضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَیْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِاَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَیْنِ مِنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّ حَفَفْنٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَّ جَعَلْنَا بَیْنَهُمَا زَرْعًاؕ(۳۲)
Tell them the parable of two men. We gave one two gardens of grapes surrounded by date-palm trees, with corn fields in between.
Set forth to them the parable of two men: for one of them We provided two gardens of grape-vines and surrounded them with date palms; in between the two We placed corn-fields.
كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَیْنِ اٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا وَ لَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِّنْهُ شَیْــٴًـاۙ-وَّ فَجَّرْنَا خِلٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًاۙ(۳۳)
Each of the gardens yielded its fruit and did not withhold the least; and We made a stream flow in between them.
Each of those gardens brought forth its produce, and failed not in the least therein: in the midst of them We caused a river to flow.
وَّ كَانَ لَهٗ ثَمَرٌۚ-فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهٖ وَ هُوَ یُحَاوِرُهٗۤ اَنَا اَكْثَرُ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّ اَعَزُّ نَفَرًا(۳۴)
So he became rich. Arguing one day with his friend he said: "I have more wealth than you and more powerful kinsmen."
(Abundant) was the produce this man had: he said to his companion, in the course of a mutual argument: "more wealth have I than you, and more honour and power in (my following of) men."
وَ دَخَلَ جَنَّتَهٗ وَ هُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖۚ-قَالَ مَاۤ اَظُنُّ اَنْ تَبِیْدَ هٰذِهٖۤ اَبَدًاۙ(۳۵)
And he walked into his garden, and, (forgetting) his limit, said: "I cannot imagine that this will ever be ruined,
He went into his garden in a state (of mind) unjust to his soul: He said, "I deem not that this will ever perish,
وَّ مَاۤ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَآىٕمَةًۙ-وَّ لَىٕنْ رُّدِدْتُّ اِلٰى رَبِّیْ لَاَجِدَنَّ خَیْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا(۳۶)
Nor can I think that the Hour (of Doom) will come, And even if I am brought back to my Lord, I will surely find a better place there than this."
"Nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) come: Even if I am brought back to my Lord, I shall surely find (there) something better in exchange."
قَالَ لَهٗ صَاحِبُهٗ وَ هُوَ یُحَاوِرُهٗۤ اَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِیْ خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوّٰىكَ رَجُلًاؕ(۳۷)
Disputing with him, his companion said: "Do you disbelieve in Him who created you from dust, then a drop of semen, then formed you into a man?
His companion said to him, in the course of the argument with him: "Dost thou deny Him Who created thee out of dust, then out of a sperm-drop, then fashioned thee into a man?
لٰكِنَّاۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ رَبِّیْ وَ لَاۤ اُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّیْۤ اَحَدًا(۳۸)
And He is God, my Lord, and I do not associate any one with my Lord.
"But (I think) for my part that He is Allah, My Lord, and none shall I associate with my Lord.
وَ لَوْ لَاۤ اِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُۙ-لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِۚ-اِنْ تَرَنِ اَنَا اَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَّ وَلَدًاۚ(۳۹)
When you entered your garden, why did you not say: ´As God may please;´ for no one has power except given by God? Though you see me poorer in wealth and children than you,
"Why didst thou not, as thou wentest into thy garden, say: 'Allah's will (be done)! There is no power but with Allah!' If thou dost see me less than thee in wealth and sons,
فَعَسٰى رَبِّیْۤ اَنْ یُّؤْتِیَنِ خَیْرًا مِّنْ جَنَّتِكَ وَ یُرْسِلَ عَلَیْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِیْدًا زَلَقًاۙ(۴۰)
Yet, my Lord may haply give me a garden better than yours, and He may send a thunder-bolt, from the skies and in the morning it will be a barren plain;
"It may be that my Lord will give me something better than thy garden, and that He will send on thy garden thunderbolts (by way of reckoning) from heaven, making it (but) slippery sand!-
