Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.

The parable of those who reject Faith is as if one were to shout Like a goat-herd, to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are void of wisdom.

The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things.

O ye who believe! cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury,- like those who spend their substance to be seen of men, but believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. They are in parable like a hard, barren rock, on which is a little soil: on it falls heavy rain, which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing with aught they have earned. And Allah guideth not those who reject faith.

And the likeness of those who spend their substance, seeking to please Allah and to strengthen their souls, is as a garden, high and fertile: heavy rain falls on it but makes it yield a double increase of harvest, and if it receives not Heavy rain, light moisture sufficeth it. Allah seeth well whatever ye do.

The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

What they spend in the life of this (material) world May be likened to a wind which brings a nipping frost: It strikes and destroys the harvest of men who have wronged their own souls: it is not Allah that hath wronged them, but they wrong themselves.

If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect.

The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of the spider, who builds (to itself) a house; but truly the flimsiest of houses is the spider's house;- if they but knew.

Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?

Like those who lately preceded them, they have tasted the evil result of their conduct; and (in the Hereafter there is) for them a grievous Penalty;-

(Their allies deceived them), like the Evil One, when he says to man, "Deny Allah": but when (man) denies Allah, (the Evil One) says, "I am free of thee: I do fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"

The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) Mosaic Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not). Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of Allah: and Allah guides not people who do wrong.

他们譬如燃火的人，当火光照亮了他们的四周的时候，真主把他们的火光拿去，让他们在重重的黑暗中，甚麽也看不见。

你号召不信道者，就象叫唤只会听呼喊的牲畜一样。（他们）是聋的，是哑的，是瞎的，故他们不了解。

为主道而施舍财产的人，譬如（一个农夫，播下）一粒谷种，发出七穗，每穗结一百颗谷粒。真主加倍地报酬他所意欲的人，真主是宽大的，是全知的。

信道的人们啊！你们不要责备受施的人和损害他，而使你们的施舍变为无效，犹如为沽名而施舍财产，并不信真主和後世的人一样。他譬如一个光滑的石头，上面铺著一层浮土，一阵大雨过後，使它变得又硬又滑。他们不能获得他们所施舍的任何报酬。真主是不引导不信道的民众的。

施舍财产，以求真主的喜悦并确定自身信仰的人，譬如高原上的园圃，它得大雨，便加倍结实。如果不得大雨，小雨也足以滋润。真主是明察你们的行为的。

在真主看来，尔撒确是象阿丹一样的。他用土创造阿丹，然后他对他说“有”，他就有了。

他们在今世生活中所施舍的，譬如寒风吹向自欺的民众的禾稼上，就把它毁灭了。真主没有亏枉他们，但他们自欺。

假若我意欲，我一定要借那些迹象而提升他，但他依恋尘世，顺从私欲，所以他像狗一样，你喝斥它，它就伸出舌头来，你不喝斥它，它也伸出舌头来，这是否认我的迹象者的譬喻。你要讲述这个人的故事，以便他们省悟。

有些人，舍真主而别求监护者，他们譬如蜘蛛造屋，最脆弱的房屋，确是蜘蛛的房屋。假若他们认识这个道理，（就不会崇拜偶像了）。

你们应当知道，今世的生活，只是游戏、娱乐、点缀、矜夸，以财产和子孙的富庶相争胜；譬如时雨，使田苗滋长，农夫见了非常高兴，嗣后，田苗枯槁，你看它变成黄色的，继而零落。在后世，有严厉的刑罚，也有从真主发出的赦宥和喜悦；今世生活，只是欺骗人的享受。

他们象在他们之前刚逝去的人们一样，他们已尝试他们行为的恶果，他们将受痛苦的刑罚。

他们又象恶魔一样。当时，他曾对人说：“你不要信道。”当他不信道的时候，他说：“我确是与你无干的，我的确畏惧真主--全世界的主。”

奉命遵守《讨拉特》而不遵守者，譬如驮经的驴子。否认真主的迹象的民众的譬喻，真恶劣！真主是不引导不义的民众的。
