In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
الٓرٰ- كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ اِلَیْكَ لِتُخْرِ جَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ ﳔ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَمِیْدِۙ(۱)
ALIF LAM RA. A Book We have sent down to you that you may lead men out of darkness into light, by their Lord´s command, to the path of the mighty, the worthy of praise.
A. L. R. A Book which We have revealed unto thee, in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light - by the leave of their Lord - to the Way of (Him) the Exalted in power, worthy of all praise!-
اللّٰهِ الَّذِیْ لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ وَیْلٌ لِّلْكٰفِرِیْنَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ شَدِیْدِ ﹰ ۙ(۲)
God, to whom belongs all there is in the heavens and the earth. Woe to the unbelievers for the terrible punishment (that awaits).
Of Allah, to Whom do belong all things in the heavens and on earth! But alas for the Unbelievers for a terrible penalty (their Unfaith will bring them)!-
الَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَحِبُّوْنَ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا عَلَى الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ یَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍۭ بَعِیْدٍ(۳)
Those who hold the life of this world dearer than that of the next, who obstruct the path of God and seek obliquity in it, have wandered far into error.
Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter, who hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance.
وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهٖ لِیُبَیِّنَ لَهُمْؕ-فَیُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَهْدِیْ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ(۴)
We never sent a messenger who did not speak the tongue of his people, that he may explain to them distinctly. God leads whosoever He wills astray, and shows whoever He wills the way: He is all-mighty and all-wise.
We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom.
وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰى بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اَنْ اَخْرِ جْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ ﳔ وَ ذَكِّرْهُمْ بِاَیّٰىمِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍ(۵)
Remember when We sent Moses with Our signs (We said): "Bring your people out of darkness into light, and remind them of the visitations of God. Indeed there are signs in this for every steadfast, thankful soul"
We sent Moses with Our signs (and the command). "Bring out thy people from the depths of darkness into light, and teach them to remember the Days of Allah." Verily in this there are Signs for such as are firmly patient and constant,- grateful and appreciative.
وَ اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِهِ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذْ اَنْجٰىكُمْ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ یَسُوْمُوْنَكُمْ سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ وَ یُذَبِّحُوْنَ اَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَ یَسْتَحْیُوْنَ نِسَآءَكُمْؕ-وَ فِیْ ذٰلِكُمْ بَلَآءٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِیْمٌ۠(۶)
So Moses said to his people: "Remember the favours of God when He saved you from the people of Pharaoh who afflicted you with oppression, slaying your sons but keeping alive your women, which was a great trial from your Lord."
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."
وَ اِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَىٕنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَاَزِیْدَنَّكُمْ وَ لَىٕنْ كَفَرْتُمْ اِنَّ عَذَابِیْ لَشَدِیْدٌ(۷)
Remember, your Lord proclaimed: "I shall give you more if you are grateful; but if you are thankless then surely My punishment is very great."
And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed."
وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰۤى اِنْ تَكْفُرُوْۤا اَنْتُمْ وَ مَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًاۙ-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِیٌّ حَمِیْدٌ(۸)
And Moses said: "What if you and all the people of the world deny, God is unconcerned and worthy of praise."
And Moses said: "If ye show ingratitude, ye and all on earth together, yet is Allah free of all wants, worthy of all praise.
اَلَمْ یَاْتِكُمْ نَبَؤُا الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّ عَادٍ وَّ ثَمُوْدَ ﲣ وَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ﳍ لَا یَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا اللّٰهُؕ-جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَرَدُّوْۤا اَیْدِیَهُمْ فِیْۤ اَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَاۤ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ وَ اِنَّا لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ مُرِیْبٍ(۹)
Has not the news of those before you, the people of Noah and ´Ad and Thamud, and those who came after them, come to you? None knows (about) them except God. Their apostles came to them with clear proofs, but they tried to silence them and said: "We do not believe in what you have been sent with, and we are in doubt of what you call us to, about which we are in disquiet.´
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 اَفِی اللّٰهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-یَدْعُوْكُمْ لِیَغْفِرَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُنُوْبِكُمْ وَ یُؤَخِّرَكُمْ اِلٰۤى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىؕ-قَالُوْۤا اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَاؕ-تُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَصُدُّوْنَا عَمَّا كَانَ یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا فَاْتُوْنَا بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ(۱۰)
Said their apostles: "Can there be doubt about God, the originator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you to forgive some of your sins, and give you respite for a time ordained." They said: "You are only men like us, and yet you wish to turn us away from what our fathers worshipped. Bring to us then a clear proof."
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 اِنْ نَّحْنُ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَمُنُّ عَلٰى مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّاْتِیَكُمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱۱)
Their apostles said to them: "Indeed we are men like you, but God bestows His favours on whomsoever He wills among His creatures. It is not in our power to bring a miracle for you without the leave of God. The believers should only place their trust in God.
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.
وَ مَا لَنَاۤ اَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَ قَدْ هَدٰىنَا سُبُلَنَاؕ-وَ لَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلٰى مَاۤ اٰذَیْتُمُوْنَاؕ-وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُوْنَ۠(۱۲)
And why should we not repose our trust in God when He has shown us our paths of duty to Him? We shall bear with fortitude the hardships you inflict upon us. The trusting place their trust in God."
"No reason have we why we should not put our trust on Allah. Indeed He Has guided us to the Ways we (follow). We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us. For those who put their trust should put their trust on Allah."
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِرُسُلِهِمْ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِنَاۤ اَوْ لَتَعُوْدُنَّ فِیْ مِلَّتِنَاؕ-فَاَوْحٰۤى اِلَیْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ لَنُهْلِكَنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَۙ(۱۳)
The unbelievers said to their apostles: "We shall drive you out of our land, or else you come back to our fold." Their Lord then communicated to them: "We shall annihilate these wicked people,
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!
وَ لَنُسْكِنَنَّكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْؕ-ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِیْ وَ خَافَ وَعِیْدِ(۱۴)
And establish you in their place. This is for him who fears My station, and dreads My commination."
"And verily We shall cause you to abide in the land, and succeed them. This for such as fear the Time when they shall stand before My tribunal,- such as fear the punishment denounced."
وَ اسْتَفْتَحُوْا وَ خَابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیْدٍۙ(۱۵)
Then (the apostles) asked of God´s assistance, and every arrogant tyrant was frustrated:
But they sought victory and decision (there and then), and frustration was the lot of every powerful obstinate transgressor.
مِّنْ وَّرَآىٕهٖ جَهَنَّمُ وَ یُسْقٰى مِنْ مَّآءٍ صَدِیْدٍۙ(۱۶)
Before him is Hell, and he will get putrid liquid to drink.
In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water.
یَّتَجَرَّعُهٗ وَ لَا یَكَادُ یُسِیْغُهٗ وَ یَاْتِیْهِ الْمَوْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَّ مَا هُوَ بِمَیِّتٍؕ-وَ مِنْ وَّرَآىٕهٖ عَذَابٌ غَلِیْظٌ(۱۷)
He will sip it, yet will not be able to gulp it down. Death will crowd in upon him from every side, but die he will not. A terrible torment trails him.
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.
مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَرَ مَادِ ﹰ اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الرِّیْحُ فِیْ یَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍؕ-لَا یَقْدِرُوْنَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوْا عَلٰى شَیْءٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلٰلُ الْبَعِیْدُ(۱۸)
Like ashes are the deeds of those who deny their Lord, which the wind blows away on a windy day. They shall have no power over what they earned. This is the farthest limit of going astray.
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).
اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّؕ-اِنْ یَّشَاْ یُذْهِبْكُمْ وَ یَاْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِیْدٍۙ(۱۹)
Do you not see that God has created the heavens and the earth with ultimate reason? If He so wills He could take you away from the earth and raise a new creation (in your place).
Seest thou not that Allah created the heavens and the earth in Truth? If He so will, He can remove you and put (in your place) a new creation?
Nor is that for Allah any great matter.
وَ بَرَزُوْا لِلّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا فَقَالَ الضُّعَفٰٓؤُا لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-قَالُوْا لَوْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ لَهَدَیْنٰكُمْؕ-سَوَآءٌ عَلَیْنَاۤ اَجَزِعْنَاۤ اَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَّحِیْصٍ۠(۲۱)
When they will all appear before God together, the weak will say to those who were arrogant: "We were your followers, so can you now save us a little from God´s punishment?" They will say: "If we had been guided by God we would surely have shown you the way. To lament or endure is all the same to us now. No getting away is there for us."
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."
وَ قَالَ الشَّیْطٰنُ لَمَّا قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَ وَعَدْتُّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُكُمْؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ لِیَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ سُلْطٰنٍ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِیْۚ-فَلَا تَلُوْمُوْنِیْ وَ لُوْمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْؕ-مَاۤ اَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِیَّؕ-اِنِّیْ كَفَرْتُ بِمَاۤ اَشْرَكْتُمُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلُؕ-اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۲۲)
When the reckoning is over Satan will say: "The promise that was made to you by God was indeed a true promise; but I went back on the promise I had made, for I had no power over you except to call you; and you responded to my call. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. Neither can I help you nor can you give me help. I disavow your having associated me earlier (with God). The punishment for those who are wicked is painful indeed."
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."
وَ اُدْخِلَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْؕ-تَحِیَّتُهُمْ فِیْهَا سَلٰمٌ(۲۳)
Those who believed and did the right, will be admitted to gardens with rivers flowing by, where they will abide by the leave of their Lord, with ´Peace´ as their salutation.
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!"
اَلَمْ تَرَ كَیْفَ ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَیِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَیِّبَةٍ اَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَّ فَرْعُهَا فِی السَّمَآءِۙ(۲۴)
Do you not see how God compares a noble act to a healthy tree whose roots are firm and branches in the sky, which yields
Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.
تُؤْتِیْۤ اُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِیْنٍۭ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهَاؕ-وَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ(۲۵)
By the leave of its Lord its fruit in all seasons, God presents words of wisdom to men that they might reflect.
It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.
وَ مَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِیْثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِیْثَةِ ﹰ اجْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْاَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِنْ قَرَارٍ(۲۶)
An evil act is like a rotten tree torn out of the earth with no (base or) firmness.
And the parable of an evil Word is that of an evil tree: It is torn up by the root from the surface of the earth: it has no stability.
یُثَبِّتُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِۚ-وَ یُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ﳜ وَ یَفْعَلُ اللّٰهُ مَا یَشَآءُ۠(۲۷)
With immutuble words God makes the faithful dauntless in the life of the world and the life to come, but leads the unjust into error, for God does as He pleases.
Allah will establish in strength those who believe, with the word that stands firm, in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave, to stray, those who do wrong: Allah doeth what He willeth.
اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِیْنَ بَدَّلُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ كُفْرًا وَّ اَحَلُّوْا قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِۙ(۲۸)
Have you not looked at those who repaid God´s favours with ingratitude; who pulled their people down to ruin,
Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who have changed the favour of Allah. Into blasphemy and caused their people to descend to the House of Perdition?-
جَهَنَّمَۚ-یَصْلَوْنَهَاؕ-وَ بِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ(۲۹)
Hell, where they will roast in the fire? And what an evil repository!
Into Hell? They will burn therein,- an evil place to stay in!
وَ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ اَنْدَادًا لِّیُضِلُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖؕ-قُلْ تَمَتَّعُوْا فَاِنَّ مَصِیْرَكُمْ اِلَى النَّارِ(۳۰)
They have appointed equals of God to mislead people from His path. Tell them: "Enjoy yourselves (so long as you may). In the end you have to go to Hell."
And they set up (idols) as equal to Allah, to mislead (men) from the Path! Say: "Enjoy (your brief power)! But verily ye are making straightway for Hell!"
قُلْ لِّعِبَادِیَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا یُقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ یُنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَّ عَلَانِیَةً مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَ یَوْمٌ لَّا بَیْعٌ فِیْهِ وَ لَا خِلٰلٌ(۳۱)
Tell those of My creatures who believe: "Observe your devotional obligations and give of what We have given you in charity, secretly or openly, before the Day arrives when there will be no buying or selling or befriending."
Speak to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ وَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَخْرَ جَ بِهٖ مِنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْۚ-وَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِیَ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِاَمْرِهٖۚ-وَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْاَنْهٰرَۚ(۳۲)
It is God who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down rain from the sky producing fruits for your food thereby, and made you master of the ships that ply in the oceans by His command, subjected the rivers to your control,
It is Allah Who hath created the heavens and the earth and sendeth down rain from the skies, and with it bringeth out fruits wherewith to feed you; it is He Who hath made the ships subject to you, that they may sail through the sea by His command; and the rivers (also) hath He made subject to you.
وَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ دَآىٕبَیْنِۚ-وَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الَّیْلَ وَ النَّهَارَۚ(۳۳)
And subjugated the sun and moon for you so that they perform their tasks diligently; and subdued the night and day for your service.
And He hath made subject to you the sun and the moon, both diligently pursuing their courses; and the night and the day hath he (also) made subject to you.
وَ اٰتٰىكُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ مَا سَاَلْتُمُوْهُؕ-وَ اِنْ تَعُدُّوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ لَا تُحْصُوْهَاؕ-اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَظَلُوْمٌ كَفَّارٌ۠(۳۴)
He gave you whatsoever you asked. If you try to count the favours of God you will not be able to calculate. Man is most unjust indeed, full of ingratitude.
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.
وَ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهِیْمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هٰذَا الْبَلَدَ اٰمِنًا وَّ اجْنُبْنِیْ وَ بَنِیَّ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ الْاَصْنَامَؕ(۳۵)
Remember when Abraham prayed: "O Lord, make this a city of peace, and preserve me and my progeny from worshipping idols:
Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols.
رَبِّ اِنَّهُنَّ اَضْلَلْنَ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِۚ-فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِیْ فَاِنَّهٗ مِنِّیْۚ-وَ مَنْ عَصَانِیْ فَاِنَّكَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۳۶)
Many a man have they led astray, O Lord. So he who follows me is truly of me; but as for him who disobeys me, surely You are forgiving and kind.
"O my Lord! they have indeed led astray many among mankind; He then who follows my (ways) is of me, and he that disobeys me,- but Thou art indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
رَبَّنَاۤ اِنِّیْۤ اَسْكَنْتُ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِیْ بِوَادٍ غَیْرِ ذِیْ زَرْعٍ عِنْدَ بَیْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِۙ -رَبَّنَا لِیُقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ فَاجْعَلْ اَفْىٕدَةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِیْۤ اِلَیْهِمْ وَ ارْزُقْهُمْ مِّنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَشْكُرُوْنَ(۳۷)
I have settled some of my children, O Lord, in a barren valley near Your sacred House, so that, O our Lord, they may be constant in devotion. So put in the hearts of men some kindness for them, and provide fruits for them: They may haply be grateful.
"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.
رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ مَا نُخْفِیْ وَ مَا نُعْلِنُؕ- وَ مَا یَخْفٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ لَا فِی السَّمَآءِ(۳۸)
O Lord, You have knowledge of what we hide and what we reveal, for nothing on the earth or in the skies is hidden from God.
"O our Lord! truly Thou dost know what we conceal and what we reveal: for nothing whatever is hidden from Allah, whether on earth or in heaven.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ وَهَبَ لِیْ عَلَى الْكِبَرِ اِسْمٰعِیْلَ وَ اِسْحٰقَؕ- اِنَّ رَبِّیْ لَسَمِیْعُ الدُّعَآءِ(۳۹)
All praise be to God who bestowed on me Ishmael and Isaac in old age. Verily my Lord listens to prayer.
"Praise be to Allah, Who hath granted unto me in old age Isma'il and Isaac: for truly my Lord is He, the Hearer of Prayer!
رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِیْ مُقِیْمَ الصَّلٰوةِ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِیْ ﳓ رَبَّنَا وَ تَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ(۴۰)
Grant, O Lord, that I and my offspring may remain constant in devotion. Grant, O Lord, my supplication.
O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.
