that they may bring us nearer
to their place of salvation;
Owner (of) the abundance.
And they will say: "What has happened to us that we see not men whom we used to number among the bad ones?
Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than Allah (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.
He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is Allah, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?
Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition.
But it is for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one above another, have been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight): (such is) the Promise of Allah: never doth Allah fail in (His) promise.
Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.
Allah puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! but most of them have no knowledge.
What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?"
When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy!
Now, when trouble touches man, he cries to Us: But when We bestow a favour upon him as from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge (I have)!" Nay, but this is but a trial, but most of them understand not!
Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
"Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped.
"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!-
But Allah will deliver the righteous to their place of salvation: no evil shall touch them, nor shall they grieve.
And the Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord: the Record (of Deeds) will be placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward and a just decision pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the least).
Who forgiveth sin, accepteth repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things). there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal.
The Day whereon they will (all) come forth: not a single thing concerning them is hidden from Allah. Whose will be the dominion that Day?" That of Allah, the One the Irresistible!
That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day, for Allah is Swift in taking account.
And Allah will judge with (justice and) Truth: but those whom (men) invoke besides Him, will not (be in a position) to judge at all. Verily it is Allah (alone) Who hears and sees (all things).
Moses said: "I have indeed called upon my Lord and your Lord (for protection) from every arrogant one who believes not in the Day of Account!"
A believer, a man from among the people of Pharaoh, who had concealed his faith, said: "Will ye slay a man because he says, 'My Lord is Allah'?- when he has indeed come to you with Clear (Signs) from your Lord? and if he be a liar, on him is (the sin of) his lie: but, if he is telling the Truth, then will fall on you something of the (calamity) of which he warns you: Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies!
"Without doubt ye do call me to one who is not fit to be called to, whether in this world, or in the Hereafter; our return will be to Allah; and the Transgressors will be Companions of the Fire!
The Day when no profit will it be to Wrong-doers to present their excuses, but they will (only) have the Curse and the Home of Misery.
Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.
The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not.
The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not.
It is Allah Who has made the Night for you, that ye may rest therein, and the days as that which helps (you) to see. Verily Allah is full of Grace and Bounty to men: yet most men give no thanks.
Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then how ye are deluded away from the Truth!
He is the Living (One): There is no god but He: Call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
Giving good news and admonition: yet most of them turn away, and so they hear not.
他们将说:“有许多人,从前我们认为他们是恶人,现在怎么不见他们呢?
真的,应受诚笃的顺服者,只有真主。舍真主而以偶像为保护者的人说:“我们崇拜他们,只为他们能使我们亲近真主。”真主将判决他们所争论的是非。真主必定不引导说谎者、孤恩者。
他从一个人创造你们,然后以他的同类为他的配偶。他为你们而降赐八只牲畜。他将你们造化在你们的母腹中,在三重黑暗中,一再造化你们。那是真主--你们的主,国权只是他的;除他外,绝无应受崇拜的。你们怎么悖谬呢?
(景况更好的,是你呢?)还是在夜间专心事主,叩头立正,谨防后世,希望主恩的人呢?”你说:“有知识的与无知识的相等吗?惟有理智的人能觉悟。”
但敬畏真主者,将来得享受楼房,楼上建楼,下临诸河,那是真主的应许,真主将不爽约。
在他们之前的人,(曾否认众使者),故刑罚从他们意想不到的地方来临他们。
真主设一个譬喻:一个奴隶为许多纷争的伙计所共有;又有一个奴隶专归一个主人;这两个奴隶的情状相等吗?一切赞颂,全归真主!不然,他们大半不知道。
不然,他们却舍真主而要若干说情者。你说:“即使他们没有任何主权,也不了解任何事理,他们也能说情吗?”
有人只提及真主的时候,不信后世者便满心厌恶;有人提及真主以外的众神灵的时候,他们便兴高彩烈。
人遭患难时,就祈祷我;一旦我把我的恩惠赏赐他,他便说:“我获得这恩惠,只因我有特殊的知识罢了。”不然!那是一种试验,但他们大半不知道。
(你说:)“我的过分自害的众仆呀!你们对真主的恩惠不要绝望,真主必定赦宥一切罪过,他确是至赦的,确是至慈的。
在刑罚来临你们,而你们不获援助以前,你们当归依你们的主。
在刑罚不知不觉地忽然降临你们以前,你们应当遵从你们的主降示你们的最美的训辞。”
真主拯救敬畏者脱离苦难,并使他们获得成功,他们不遭祸患,也不忧愁。
大地将因它的主的光明而亮;功过薄将陈列出来;众先知和见证将被召来,他们将被秉公裁判而不受亏枉;
赦宥罪过、准人忏悔、严厉惩罚、博施恩惠的主。除他外,绝无应受崇拜的;他确是最后的归宿。
他们将出现之日,他们的事,对真主毫无隐匿。”今日国权是谁的?””是独一至尊的真主的。”
今日,人人都为自己所做的而受报酬。今日,毫无亏枉,真主确是稽核神速的。
真主本真理而裁判。他们舍他而崇拜的,不奉任何物而裁判。真主确是全聪的,确是全知的。
穆萨说:“我确已求庇于我的主,亦即你们的主,免遭不信清算日的一切自大者的侵害。”
法老族中一个秘密归信的信士说:“一个人把从你们的主发出的明证昭示你们,并说'我的主是真主',你们就要杀戮他吗?如果他是一个说谎者,那末,他自受谎言之害;如果他是一个诚实者,那末,他所用以恫吓你们的灾难,将有一部分来临你们,真主必定不引导过分的常说谎言者。
其实,你们召我去崇拜的东西,在今世和后世,都不能应答任何祈祷。我们的归宿是真主,过分者必是火狱的居民。
不义者的托词无裨于他们之日,他们将遭弃绝,他们将受后世的刑罚。
创造天地,是比再造人类更难的,但世人大半不知道。
复活时必定来临,这是毫无疑义的;但众人大半不信。
复活时必定来临,这是毫无疑义的;但众人大半不信。
真主为你们创造黑夜,以便你们安息;创造白昼,以便你们观看;真主对于人类,确是有恩惠的,但人类大半不感谢。
那是真主,是你们的主,是万物的创造者,除他外,绝无应受崇拜的。你们怎么如此悖谬呢?
他确是永生的,除他外,绝无应受崇拜的,故你们当祈祷他,诚心顺服他。一切赞颂,全归真主--全世界的主!
可以做报喜者和警告者;但他们大半退避而不肯听从。
