AlifLamMeem. (These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings). |
|
|
2 |
The Romans have been defeated. |
|
|
3 |
In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious. |
|
|
4 |
Within three
to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these
events) is only with Allah, (before the defeat of Romans by the
Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And
on that Day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory
given by Allah to the Romans against the Persians), |
|
|
5 |
With the help of Allah, He helps whom He wills, and He is the AllMighty, the Most Merciful. |
|
|
6 |
(It is) a
Promise of Allah (i.e. Allah will give victory to the Romans against the
Persians), and Allah fails not in His Promise, but most of men know
not. |
|
|
7 |
They know
only the outside appearance of the life of the world (i.e. the matters
of their livelihood, like irrigating or sowing or reaping, etc.), and
they are heedless of the Hereafter. |
|
|
8 |
Do they not
think deeply (in their ownselves) about themselves (how Allah created
them from nothing, and similarly He will resurrect them)? Allah has
created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them,
except with truth and for an appointed term. And indeed many of mankind
deny the Meeting with their Lord. (See Tafsir AtTabaree, Part 21, Page
24). |
|
|
9 |
Do they not
travel in the land, and see what was the end of those before them? They
were superior to them in strength, and they tilled the earth and
populated it in greater numbers than these (pagans) have done, and there
came to them their Messengers with clear proofs. Surely, Allah wronged
them not, but they used to wrong themselves. |
|
|
10 |
Then evil was
the end of those who did evil, because they belied the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, Messengers, etc.) of
Allah and made mock of them. |
|
|
11 |
Allah (Alone) originates the creation, then He will repeat it, then to Him you will be returned. |
|
|
12 |
And on the
Day when the Hour will be established, the Mujrimoon (disbelievers,
sinners, criminals, polytheists, etc.) will be plunged into destruction
with deep regrets, sorrows, and despair. |
|
|
13 |
No
intercessor will they have from those whom they made equal with Allah
(partners i.e. their socalled associate gods), and they will
(themselves) reject and deny their partners. |
|
|
14 |
And on the
Day when the Hour will be established, that Day shall (all men) be
separated (i.e the believers will be separated from the disbelievers). |
|
|
15 |
Then as for
those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and did
righteous good deeds, such shall be honoured and made to enjoy luxurious
life (forever) in a Garden of delight (Paradise). |
|
|
16 |
And as for
those who disbelieved and belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, Allahs Messengers, Resurrection, etc.), and
the Meeting of the Hereafter, such shall be brought forth to the
torment (in the Hell-fire). |
|
|
17 |
So glorify
Allah (above all that (evil) they associate with Him (O believers)),
when you come up to the evening (i.e. offer the (Maghrib) sunset and
(Isha) night prayers), and when you enter the morning (i.e offer the
(Fajr) morning prayer). |
|
|
18 |
And His is
all the praises and thanks in the heavens and the earth, and (glorify
Him) in the afternoon (i.e. offer Asr prayer) and when you come up to
the time, when the day begins to decline (i.e offer Zuhr prayer). (Ibn
Abbas said: "These are the five compulsory congregational prayers
mentioned in the Quran)." |
|
|
19 |
He brings out
the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living. And
He revives the earth after its death. And thus shall you be brought out
(resurrected). |
|
|
20 |
And among His
Signs is this, that He created you (Adam) from dust, and then (Hawwa
(Eve) from Adams rib, and then his offspring from the semen, and), -
behold you are human beings scattered! |
|
|
21 |
And among His
Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves,
that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection
and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect. |
|
|
22 |
And among His
Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference
of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men
of sound knowledge. |
|
|
23 |
And among His
Signs is the sleep that you take by night and by day, and your seeking
of His Bounty. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who listen.
|
|
|
24 |
And among His
Signs is that He shows you the lightning, by way of fear and hope, and
He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and therewith revives the earth
after its death. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who
understand. |
|
|
25 |
And among His
Signs is that the heaven and the earth stand by His Command, then
afterwards when He will call you by single call, behold, you will come
out from the earth (i.e from your graves for reckoning and recompense). |
|
|
26 |
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are obedient to Him. |
|
|
27 |
And He it is
Who originates the creation, then will repeat it (after it has been
perished), and this is easier for Him. His is the highest description
(i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but He, and there is nothing
comparable unto Him) in the heavens and in the earth. And He is the
AllMighty, the AllWise. |
|
|
28 |
He sets forth
for you a parable from your ownselves, - Do you have partners among
those whom your right hands possess (i.e your slaves) to share as equals
in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Whom you fear as you fear each
other? Thus do We explain the signs in detail to a people who have sense
. |
|
|
29 |
Nay, but
those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge, Then who
will guide him whom Allah has sent astray? And for such there will be no
helpers. |
|
|
30 |
So set you (O
Muhammad SAW) your face towards the religion of pure Islamic Monotheism
Hanifa (worship none but Allah Alone) Allahs Fitrah (i.e. Allahs
Islamic Monotheism), with which He has created mankind. No change let
there be in Khalqillah (i.e. the Religion of Allah Islamic Monotheism),
that is the straight religion, but most of men know not. (Tafsir
AtTabaree, Vol 21, Page 41) |
|
|
31 |
(Always)
Turning in repentance to Him (only), and be afraid and dutiful to Him;
and perform AsSalat (IqamatasSalat) and be not of AlMushrikoon (the
disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc.). |
|
|
32 |
Of those who
split up their religion (i.e. who left the true Islamic Monotheism), and
became sects, (i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bidah),
and followed their vain desires), each sect rejoicing in that which is
with it. |
|
|
33 |
And when harm
touches men, they cry sincerely only to their Lord (Allah), turning to
Him in repentance, but when He gives them a taste of His Mercy, behold! a
party of them associate partners in worship with their Lord. |
|
|
34 |
So as to be ungrateful for the graces which We have bestowed on them. Then enjoy (your short life); but you will come to know. |
|
|
35 |
Or have We revealed to them a Scripture, which speaks of that which they have been associating with Him? |
|
|
36 |
And when We
cause mankind to taste of mercy, they rejoice therein, but when some
evil afflicts them because of (evil deeds and sins) that their (own)
hands have sent forth, lo! They are in despair! |
|
|
37 |
Do they not
see that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He wills and straitens
(it for whom He wills). Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people
who believe. |
|
|
38 |
So give to
the kindred his due, and to AlMiskeen (the poor) and to the wayfarer.
That is best for those who seek Allahs Countenance, and it is they who
will be successful. |
|
|
39 |
And that
which you give in gift (to others), in order that it may increase (your
wealth by expecting to get a better one in return) from other peoples
property, has no increase with Allah, but that which you give in Zakat
seeking Allahs Countenance then those, they shall have manifold
increase. |
|
|
40 |
Allah is He
Who created you, then provided food for you, then will cause you to die,
then (again) He will give you life (on the Day of Resurrection). Is
there any of your (socalled) partners (of Allah) that do anything of
that ? Glory be to Him! And Exalted be He above all that (evil) they
associate (with Him). |
|
|
41 |
Evil (sins
and disobedience of Allah, etc.) has appeared on land and sea because of
what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc.),
that Allah may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in
order that they may return (by repenting to Allah, and begging His
Pardon). |
|
|
42 |
Say (O
Muhammad SAW): "Travel in the land and see what was the end of those
before (you)! Most of them were Mushrikoon (the disbelievers in the
Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc.)." |
|
|
43 |
So set you (O
Muhammad SAW) your face to (the obedience of Allah, your Lord) the
straight and right religion (Islamic Monotheism), before there comes
from Allah a Day which none can avert it. On that Day men shall be
divided ((in two groups), a group in Paradise and a group in Hell). |
|
|
44 |
Whosoever
disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous
good deeds (by practising Islamic Monotheism), then such will prepare a
good place (in Paradise) for themselves (and will be saved by Allah
from His Torment). |
|
|
45 |
That He may
reward those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism),
and do righteous good deeds, out of His Bounty. Verily, He likes not the
disbelievers. |
|
|
46 |
And among His
Signs is this, that He sends the winds as glad tidings, giving you a
taste of His Mercy (i.e. rain), and that the ships may sail at His
Command, and that you may seek of His Bounty, in order that you may be
thankful. |
|
|
47 |
And indeed We
did send Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW) to their own peoples.
They came to them with clear proofs, then, We took vengeance on those
who committed crimes (disbelief, setting partners in worship with Allah,
sins, etc.), and (as for) the believers it was incumbent upon Us to
help (them). |
|
|
48 |
Allah is He
Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and spread them along the sky
as He wills, and then break them into fragments, until you see rain
drops come forth from their midst! Then when He has made them fall on
whom of His slaves as He will, lo! they rejoice! |
|
|
49 |
And verily before that (rain), just before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair! |
|
|
50 |
Look then at
the effects (results) of Allahs Mercy, how He revives the earth after
its death. Verily! That (Allah) Who revived the earth after its death
shall indeed raise the dead (on the Day of Resurrection), and He is Able
to do all things. |
|
|
51 |
And if We
send a wind (which would spoil the green growth (tilth) brought up by
the previous rain), and they see (their tilth) turn yellow, behold, they
then after their being glad, would become unthankful (to their Lord
Allah as) disbelievers. |
|
|
52 |
So verily,
you (O Muhammad SAW) cannot make the dead to hear (i.e. the
disbelievers, etc.), nor can you make the deaf to hear the call, when
they show their backs, turning away. |
|
|
53 |
And you (O
Muhammad SAW) cannot guide the blind from their straying; you can make
to hear only those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and have submitted to Allah in Islam
(as Muslims). |
|
|
54 |
Allah is He
Who created you in (a state of) weakness, then gave you strength after
weakness, then after strength gave (you) weakness and grey hair. He
creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the AllKnowing, the
AllPowerful (i.e. Able to do all things). |
|
|
55 |
And on the
Day that the Hour will be established, the Mujrimoon (criminals,
disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) will swear that they stayed
not but an hour, thus were they ever deluded (away from the truth (i.e
they used to tell lies and take false oaths, and turn away from the
truth) in this life of the world)). |
|
|
56 |
And those who
have been bestowed with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed you have
stayed according to the Decree of Allah, until the Day of Resurrection,
so this is the Day of Resurrection, but you knew not." |
|
|
57 |
So on that
Day no excuse of theirs will avail those who did wrong (by associating
partners in worship with Allah, and by denying the Day of Resurrection),
nor will they be allowed (then) to return to seek Allahs Pleasure (by
having Islamic Faith with righteous deeds and by giving up polytheism,
sins and crimes with repentance). |
|
|
58 |
And indeed We
have set forth for mankind, in this Quran every kind of parable. But if
you (O Muhammad SAW) bring to them any sign or proof, (as an evidence
for the truth of your Prophethood), the disbelievers are sure to say (to
the believers): "You follow nothing but falsehood, and magic." |
|
|
59 |
Thus does
Allah seal up the hearts of those who know not (the proofs and evidence
of the Oneness of Allah i.e. those who try not to understand true facts
that which you (Muhammad SAW) have brought to them). |
|
|
60 |
So be patient
(O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, and let not
those who have no certainty of faith, discourage you from conveying
Allahs Message (which you are obliged to convey). |
