128 Ayaat مکیۃ
وَ الَّذِیْنَ هَاجَرُوْا فِی اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوْا لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَةًؕ-وَ لَاَجْرُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَكْبَرُۘ-لَوْ كَانُوْا یَعْلَمُوْنَۙ(۴۱)
Those who left their homes in the cause of God after having been oppressed, will be given by Us a better place in the world, and if they knew, the guerdon of the next would be greater
وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوْحِیْۤ اِلَیْهِمْ فَسْــٴَـلُوْۤا اَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَۙ(۴۳)
We sent before you none (as apostles) but men, to whom We sent revelations. In case you are unaware, enquire of those who are keepers of the Oracles of God.
بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ الزُّبُرِؕ-وَ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَیِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ اِلَیْهِمْ وَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ(۴۴)
We had Sent them with miracles and Books; and We have sent to you this Reminder so that you may explain distinctly to men what was sent down to them: They may haply reflect.
اَفَاَمِنَ الَّذِیْنَ مَكَرُوا السَّیِّاٰتِ اَنْ یَّخْسِفَ اللّٰهُ بِهِمُ الْاَرْضَ اَوْ یَاْتِیَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَۙ(۴۵)
Have the plotters of mischief become unafraid that God will not split the earth to swallow them, or that punishment will not fall upon them from somewhere they do not (even) suspect?
یَتَوَارٰى مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ سُوْٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهٖؕ-اَیُمْسِكُهٗ عَلٰى هُوْنٍ اَمْ یَدُسُّهٗ فِی التُّرَابِؕ-اَلَا سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ(۵۹)
And hides from people for shame at the news, (at a loss) whether he should keep her with shame, or bury her in the ground. How bad is the judgement that they make!
لِلَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوْءِۚ-وَ لِلّٰهِ الْمَثَلُ الْاَعْلٰىؕ-وَ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ۠(۶۰)
The semblance of those who believe not in the life to come is that of the meanest; but the semblance of God is the most sublime, for He is all-mighty and all-wise.
وَ لَوْ یُؤَاخِذُ اللّٰهُ النَّاسَ بِظُلْمِهِمْ مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَیْهَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ وَّ لٰكِنْ یُّؤَخِّرُهُمْ اِلٰۤى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۚ-فَاِذَا جَآءَ اَجَلُهُمْ لَا یَسْتَاْخِرُوْنَ سَاعَةً وَّ لَا یَسْتَقْدِمُوْنَ(۶۱)
If God were to punish men for their inequity He would not leave a single moving thing on earth. Yet He gives them latitude for a time ordained. When that time is come, there will not be a moment´s delay nor a moment´s haste.
وَ یَجْعَلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ مَا یَكْرَهُوْنَ وَ تَصِفُ اَلْسِنَتُهُمُ الْكَذِبَ اَنَّ لَهُمُ الْحُسْنٰىؕ-لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّ لَهُمُ النَّارَ وَ اَنَّهُمْ مُّفْرَطُوْنَ(۶۲)
Yet they attribute to God what they find detestable; and their tongues assert the lie that for them is only good. On the contrary, there is Fire for them, and they will be thrown into it.
تَاللّٰهِ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلٰۤى اُمَمٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَزَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِیُّهُمُ الْیَوْمَ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۶۳)
By God, We sent apostles to many a people before you, but Satan made their acts seem attractive to them, and he is their friend this day, and a painful torment awaits them.
وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ اِلَّا لِتُبَیِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِی اخْتَلَفُوْا فِیْهِۙ-وَ هُدًى وَّ رَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ(۶۴)
We have sent down this Book to you that you may explain to them what it is that they are differing about, and as guidance and a grace for those who believe.
وَ اِنَّ لَكُمْ فِی الْاَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةًؕ-نُسْقِیْكُمْ مِّمَّا فِیْ بُطُوْنِهٖ مِنْۢ بَیْنِ فَرْثٍ وَّ دَمٍ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًا سَآىٕغًا لِّلشّٰرِبِیْنَ(۶۶)
And surely in cattle there is a lesson for you: We give you a drink from the extract of food in their bellies and blood-purest milk so delicious to drink;
وَ مِنْ ثَمَرٰتِ النَّخِیْلِ وَ الْاَعْنَابِ تَتَّخِذُوْنَ مِنْهُ سَكَرًا وَّ رِزْقًا حَسَنًاؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ(۶۷)
And in fruits of the date-palm and the vine, from which you obtain inebriating drinks and excellent food. In this indeed are signs for those who understand.
ثُمَّ كُلِیْ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ فَاسْلُكِیْ سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًاؕ-یَخْرُ جُ مِنْۢ بُطُوْنِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ اَلْوَانُهٗ فِیْهِ شِفَآءٌ لِّلنَّاسِؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ(۶۹)
And suck from all fruits and flit about the unrestricted paths of their Lord. A drink of various hues comes out of their bellies which contains medicine for men. In this is a sign for those who reflect.
وَ اللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ یَتَوَفّٰىكُمْ ﳜ وَ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّرَدُّ اِلٰۤى اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَیْ لَا یَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌ قَدِیْرٌ۠(۷۰)
It is God who creates you, then makes you die; and some reach the age of dotage when they forget what they had known before. God is indeed all-knowing and all-powerful.
وَ اللّٰهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فِی الرِّزْقِۚ-فَمَا الَّذِیْنَ فُضِّلُوْا بِرَآدِّیْ رِزْقِهِمْ عَلٰى مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِیْهِ سَوَآءٌؕ-اَفَبِنِعْمَةِ اللّٰهِ یَجْحَدُوْنَ(۷۱)
God has favoured some of you over others in the means of subsistence. But those who have been favoured with more do not give of their means to their dependents so that they may become equal with them. Do they then deny God´s beneficence?
وَ اللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَزْوَاجِكُمْ بَنِیْنَ وَ حَفَدَةً وَّ رَزَقَكُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِؕ-اَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَ بِنِعْمَتِ اللّٰهِ هُمْ یَكْفُرُوْنَۙ(۷۲)
God has provided mates for you of your own kind, and has bestowed on you sons and daughters from your mates, and has given you good things for food. Will they even then believe in the false and deny God´s grace?
ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدًا مَّمْلُوْكًا لَّا یَقْدِرُ عَلٰى شَیْءٍ وَّ مَنْ رَّزَقْنٰهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ یُنْفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرًّا وَّ جَهْرًاؕ-هَلْ یَسْتَوٗنَؕ-اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِؕ-بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۷۵)
God presents the example of a man who is a hired servant with no power over anything, and another on whom We have bestowed a handsome fortune, who spends from it in private and in public: Can they be equal? Praised be God! But most men do not understand.
وَ ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَیْنِ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اَبْكَمُ لَا یَقْدِرُ عَلٰى شَیْءٍ وَّ هُوَ كَلٌّ عَلٰى مَوْلٰىهُۙ-اَیْنَمَا یُوَجِّهْهُّ لَا یَاْتِ بِخَیْرٍؕ-هَلْ یَسْتَوِیْ هُوَۙ-وَ مَنْ یَّاْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِۙ-وَ هُوَ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ۠(۷۶)
God presents another example of two men, one dumb and unable to do a thing and is a burden on his master. Wherever he is sent he returns without any good (result). Could he be equal to one who enjoins what is just, and follows the right path?
وَ لِلّٰهِ غَیْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ مَاۤ اَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ اِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ اَوْ هُوَ اَقْرَبُؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۷۷)
To God belong the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and the Hour of Doom is a matter of the winking of an eye, even less, for God has certainly power over all things.
وَ اللّٰهُ اَخْرَجَكُمْ مِّنْۢ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ شَیْــٴًـاۙ-وَّ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَ الْاَبْصَارَ وَ الْاَفْـٕدَةَۙ-لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ(۷۸)
God produced you from your mothers´ wombs knowing nothing, but gave you ears and eyes and hearts so that you may be grateful.
اَلَمْ یَرَوْا اِلَى الطَّیْرِ مُسَخَّرٰتٍ فِیْ جَوِّ السَّمَآءِؕ-مَا یُمْسِكُهُنَّ اِلَّا اللّٰهُؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ(۷۹)
Do you not see the birds held high between the heavens and the earth? Nothing holds them (aloft) but God. There are verily signs in this for those who believe.
وَ اللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْۢ بُیُوْتِكُمْ سَكَنًا وَّ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ جُلُوْدِ الْاَنْعَامِ بُیُوْتًا تَسْتَخِفُّوْنَهَا یَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَ یَوْمَ اِقَامَتِكُمْۙ-وَ مِنْ اَصْوَافِهَا وَ اَوْبَارِهَا وَ اَشْعَارِهَاۤ اَثَاثًا وَّ مَتَاعًا اِلٰى حِیْنٍ(۸۰)
God has given you homes to live in, and tents (made) from the hides of cattle convenient for days of travelling and halting; and from their wool and fur and hair you make domestic articles and goods that last a certain time.
