(are) successive (Angels)
the condition of a people
so We took it to account,
Then they ham-strung the she-camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!"
The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water." Noah said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy! "And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.
They said: "Dost thou wonder at Allah's decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, o ye people of the house! for He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!"
For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Allah does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their hearts. But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.
They ask thee concerning the Spirit (of inspiration). Say: "The Spirit (cometh) by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you, (O men!)"
Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers!
If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other, then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of Allah; but if it complies, then make peace between them with justice, and be fair: for Allah loves those who are fair (and just).
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.
How many populations that insolently opposed the Command of their Lord and of His messengers, did We not then call to account,- to severe account?- and We imposed on them an exemplary Punishment.
他们宰了那只母驼,违抗他们主的命令,他们并说:“撒立哈啊!你把你用来警告我们的刑罚拿来给我们看看吧,如果你是使者的话!”
他儿子说:“我要到一座山上去躲避洪水。”他说:“今天,除真主所怜悯的人外,绝没有任何人能保护别人不受真主的惩罚。”波涛隔开了他们俩,他就被淹死了。
他们说:“难道你对真主的命令感到惊讶吗?愿真主的怜悯和幸福降临你们全家,他确是可赞的,确是光荣的。”
每个人的前面和后面,都有许多接踵而来的天神,他们奉真主的命令来监护他。真主必定不变更任何民众的情况,直到他们变更自己的情况。当真主欲降灾害于任何民众的时候,那灾害是不可抗拒的。除真主外,他们绝无保佑者。
他们问你精神是什么?你说:“精神是我的主的机密。”你们只获得很少的知识。
当时我对众天神说:“你们应当向阿丹叩头。”他们都叩了头,但易卜劣厮除外。他本是精灵,所以违背他的主的命令。他和他的子孙,是你们的仇敌,你们却舍我而以他们为保护者吗?不义者的倒行逆施真恶劣!
如果两伙信士相斗,你们应当居间调停。如果这伙压迫那伙,你们应当讨伐压迫的这伙,直到他们归顺真主的命令。如果他们归顺,你们应当秉公调停,主持公道;真主确是喜爱公道者的。
他们曾违抗他们主的命令,故疾雷毁灭了他们,同时,他们眼见刑罚降临,
有许多城市的居民,曾违抗他们的主和众使者的命令,我将严格地审训他们,严厉的惩罚他们。
