Al-Jâthiya

(1)HâMîm.

(2)The revelation of the Book (this Qur'ân) is from Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

(3)Verily, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers.

(4)And in your creation, and what He scattered (through the earth) of moving (living) creatures are signs for people who have Faith with certainty.

(5)And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision (rain) that Allâh sends down from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning about of the winds (i.e. sometimes towards the east or north, and sometimes towards the south or west etc., sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain etc., and sometimes bringing the torment), are signs for a people who understand.

(6)These are the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, which We recite to you (O Muhammad SAW) with truth. Then in which speech after Allâh and His Ayât will they believe?

(7)Woe to every sinful liar,

(8)Who hears the Verses of Allâh (being) recited to him, yet persists with pride as if he heard them not. So announce to him a painful torment!

(9)And when he learns something of Our Verses (this Qur'ân), he makes them a jest. For such there will be a humiliating torment.

(10)In front of them there is Hell, and that which they have earned will be of no profit to them, nor (will be of any profit to them) those whom they have taken as Auliyâ' (protectors, helpers, etc.) besides Allâh. And theirs will be a great torment.

(11)This (Qur'ân) is a guidance. And those who disbelieve in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord, for them there is a painful torment of Rijz (a severe kind of punishment).

(12)Allâh it is He Who has subjected to you the sea, that ships may sail through it by His Command, and that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may be thankful,

(13)And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; it is all as a favour and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for a people who think deeply.

(14)Say (O Muhammad SAW) to the believers to forgive those who (harm them and) hope not for the Days of Allâh (i.e. His Recompense), that He may recompense people according to what they have earned (i.e. to punish these disbelievers, who harm the believers).[]

(15)Whosoever does a good deed, it is for his ownself, and whosoever does evil, it is against (his ownself). Then to your Lord you will be made to return.

(16)And indeed We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, and the understanding of the Scripture and its laws, and the Prophethood; and provided them with good things, and preferred them above the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns) (of their time, during that period),

(17)And gave them clear proofs in matters [by revealing to them the Taurât (Torah)]. And they differed not until after the knowledge came to them, through envy among themselves. Verily, Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.

(18)Then We have put you (O Muhammad SAW) on a plain way of (Our) commandment [like the one which We commanded Our Messengers before you (i.e. legal ways and laws of the Islâmic Monotheism)]. So follow you that (Islâmic Monotheism and its laws), and follow not the desires of those who know not. [Tafsir At-Tabarî Vol. 25, Page 146].

(19)Verily, they can avail you nothing against Allâh (if He wants to punish you). Verily, the Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) are Auliyâ' (protectors, helpers, etc.) to one another, but Allâh is the Walî (Helper, Protector, etc.) of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2).

(20)This (Qur'ân) is a clear insight and evidence for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy for people who have Faith with certainty[] .

(21)Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death? Worst is the judgement that they make.

(22)And Allâh has created the heavens and the earth with truth, in order that each person may be recompensed what he has earned, and they will not be wronged[] .

(23)Have you seen him who takes his own lust (vain desires) as his ilâh (god), and Allâh knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then will guide him after Allâh? Will you not then remember?

(24)And they say: "There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except Ad-Dahr (the time)[]. And they have no knowledge of it, they only conjecture.

(25)And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, their argument is no other than that they say: "Bring back our (dead) fathers, if you are truthful!"

(26)Say (to them): "Allâh gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not."

(27)And to Allâh belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And on the Day that the Hour will be established, on that Day the followers of falsehood (polytheists, disbelievers, worshippers of false deities, etc.) shall lose (everything).

(28)And you will see each nation humbled to their knees (kneeling), each nation will be called to its Record (of deeds). This Day you shall be recompensed for what you used to do.

(29)This Our Record speaks about you with truth. Verily, We were recording what you used to do (i.e. Our angels used to record your deeds).

(30)Then, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy. That will be the evident success.

(31)But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud, and you were a people who were Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals)."

(32)And when it was said: "Verily! Allâh's Promise is the truth, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Hour," you said; "We know not what is the Hour, we do not think it but as a conjecture, and we have no firm convincing belief (therein)."

(33)And the evil of what they did will appear to them, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!

(34)And it will be said: "This Day We will forget you as you forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours. And your abode is the Fire, and there is none to help you."

(35)This, because you took the revelations of Allâh (this Qur'ân) in mockery, and the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they shall not be taken out from there (Hell)[], nor shall they be Yustâ'tabûn (i.e. they shall not return to the worldly life, so that they repent to Allâh, and beg His Pardon for their sins).

(36)So all the praises and thanks are to Allâh, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

(37)And His (Alone) is the Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Ad-Dukhân

(-1)In the Name of Allâh, the MostBeneficent, the Most Merciful

(1)Hâ-Mîm.

(2)By the manifest Book (this Qur'ân) that makes things clear,

(3)We sent it (this Qur'ân) down on a blessed night [(i.e. night of Qadr, Sûrah No: 97) in the month of Ramadân,, the 9th month of the Islâmic calendar]. Verily, We are ever warning [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship].

(4)Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments[] .

(5)Amran (i.e. a Command or this Qur'an or the Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messengers),

(6)(As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.

(7)The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you (but) have a faith with certainty.

(8)Lâ ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). It is He Who gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fore-fathers.

(9)Nay! They play in doubt.

(10)Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke.

(11)Covering the people, this is a painful torment.

(12)(They will say): "Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers!"

(13)How can there be for them an admonition (at the time when the torment has reached them), when a Messenger explaining things clearly has already come to them.

(14)Then they had turned away from him (Messenger Muhammad SAW) and said: "One (Muhammad SAW) taught (by a human being), a madman!"

(15)Verily, We shall remove the torment for a while. Verily! You will revert.

(16)On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest grasp. Verily, We will exact retribution.

(17)And indeed We tried before them Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, when there came to them a noble Messenger [i.e. Mûsa (Moses) <><>],

(18)Saying: "Restore to me the slaves of Allâh (i.e. the Children of Israel). Verily! I am to you a Messenger worthy of all trust,

(19)"And exalt not (yourselves) against Allâh. Truly, I have come to you with a manifest authority.

(20)"And truly, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me (or call me a sorcerer or kill me).

(21)"But if you believe me not, then keep away from me and leave me alone."

(22)(But they were aggressive), so he [Mûsa (Moses)] called upon his Lord (saying): "These are indeed the people who are Mujrimûn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.)."

(23)(Allâh said): "Depart you with My slaves by night. Surely, you will be pursued.

(24)"And leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided). Verily, They are a host to be drowned."

(25)How many of gardens and springs do they [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people] left.

(26)And green crops (fields etc.) and goodly places,

(27)And comforts of life wherein they used to take delight!

(28)Thus (it was)! And We made other people inherit them (i.e. We made the Children of Israel to inherit the kingdom of Egypt).

(29)And the heavens and the earth wept not for them[] , nor were they given a respite.

(30)And indeed We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment,

(31)From Fir'aun (Pharaoh); Verily! He was arrogant and was of the Musrifûn (those who transgress beyond bound in spending and other things and commit great sins).

(32)And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the 'Alamîn (mankind, and jinns) [during the time of Mûsa (Moses)] with knowledge,

(33)And granted them signs in which there was a plain trial.

(34)Verily, these (Quraish) people are saying:

(35)"There is nothing but our first death, and we shall not be resurrected.

(36)"Then bring back our fore-fathers, if you speak the truth!"

(37)Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them because they were indeed Mujrimûn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).

(38)And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play,

(39)We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not.

(40)Verily, the Day of Judgement (when Allâh will judge between the creatures) is the time appointed for all of them,

(41)The Day when Maulan (a near relative) cannot avail Maulan (a near relative) in aught, and no help can they receive,

(42)Except him on whom Allâh has Mercy. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

(43)Verily, the tree of Zaqqûm,

(44)Will be the food of the sinners,

(45)Like boiling oil, it will boil in the bellies,

(46)Like the boiling of scalding water.

(47)(It will be said) "Seize him and drag him into the midst of blazing Fire,

(48)"Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water,

(49)"Taste you (this)! Verily, you were (pretending to be) the mighty, the generous!

(50)"Verily! This is that whereof you used to doubt!"

(51)Verily! The Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2), will be in place of Security (Paradise).

(52)Among Gardens and Springs;

(53)Dressed in fine silk and (also) in thick silk, facing each other,

(54)So (it will be), and We shall marry them to Houris[] (female fair ones) with wide, lovely eyes.

(55)They will call therein for every kind of fruit in peace and security;

(56)They will never taste death therein except the first death (of this world), and He will save them from the torment of the blazing Fire,

(57)As a Bounty from your Lord! That will be the supreme success!

(58)Certainly, We have made this (Qur'ân) easy in your tongue, in order that they may remember.

(59)Wait then (O Muhammad SAW); Verily, they (too) are waiting.
