Quran Chapter 40 - Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver) Page 5

71 When iron collars will be rounded over their necks, and the chains, they shall be dragged along.

72 In the boiling water, then they will be burned in the Fire.

73 Then it will be said to them: "Where are (all) those whom you used to join in worship as partners

74 "Besides Allah" They will say: "They have vanished from us: Nay, we did not invoke (worship) anything before." Thus Allah leads astray the disbelievers.

75 That was because you had been exulting in the earth without any right (by worshipping others instead of Allah and by committing crimes), and that you used to rejoice extremely (in your error).

76 Enter the gates of Hell to abide therein, and (indeed) what an evil abode of the arrogant!

77 So be patient (O Muhammad SAW), verily, the Promise of Allah is true, and whether We show you (O Muhammad SAW in this world) some part of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die, then it is to Us they all shall be returned.

78 And, indeed We have sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW); of some of them We have related to you their story and of some We have not related to you their story, and it was not given to any Messenger that he should bring a sign except by the Leave of Allah. So, when comes the Commandment of Allah, the matter will be decided with truth, and the followers of falsehood will then be lost.

79 Allah, it is He Who has made cattle for you, that you may ride on some of them and of some you eat.

80 And you have (many other) benefits from them, and that you may reach by their means a desire that is in your breasts (i.e. carry your goods, loads, etc.), and on them and on ships you are carried.

81 And He shows you His Signs and Proofs (of His Oneness in all the above mentioned things). Which, then of the Signs and Proofs of Allah do you deny?

82 Have they not travelled through the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than them and mightier in strength, and in the traces (they have left behind them) in the land, yet all that they used to earn availed them not.

83 Then when their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which they had of the knowledge (of worldly things): And that at which they used to mock, surrounded them (i.e. the punishment).

84 So when they saw Our punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah Alone and reject (all) that we used to associate with Him as (His) partners.

85 Then their Faith (in Islamic Monotheism) could not avail them when they saw Our punishment. (Like) this has been the way of Allah in dealing with His slaves. And there the disbelievers lost utterly (when Our Torment covered them).

Quran Chapter 40 - Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver) Page 4

52 The Day when their excuses will be of no profit to Zalimoon (polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah). Theirs will be the curse, and theirs will be the evil abode (i.e. painful torment in Hell-fire).

53 And, indeed We gave Moosa (Moses) the guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture (i.e. the Taurat (Torah)),

54 A guide and a reminder for men of understanding.

55 So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your fault, and glorify the praises of your Lord in the Ashi (i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset) and in the Ibkar (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before midnoon) (it is said that, that means the five compulsory congregational Salat (prayers) or the Asr and Fajr prayers).

56 Verily, those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, without any authority having come to them, there is nothing else in their breasts except pride (to accept you (Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger of Allah and to obey you). They will never have it (i.e. Prophethood which Allah has bestowed upon you). So seek refuge in Allah (O Muhammad SAW from the arrogants). Verily, it is He Who is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

57 The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind, yet most of mankind know not.

58 And not equal are the blind and those who see, nor are (equal) those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous good deeds, and those who do evil. Little do you remember!

59 Verily, the Hour (Day of Judgement) is surely coming, therein is no doubt, yet most men believe not.

60 And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, (i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism)) (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship (i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)) they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"

61 Allah, it is He Who has made the night for you that you may rest therein and the day for you to see. Truly, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, yet most of mankind give no thanks.

62 That is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), where then you are turning away (from Allah, by worshipping others instead of Him)!

63 Thus were turned away those who used to deny the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah.

64 Allah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allah, your Lord, then blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

65 He is the Ever Living, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), so invoke Him making your worship pure for Him Alone (by worshipping Him Alone, and none else, and by doing righteous deeds sincerely for Allahs sake only, and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

66 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I have been forbidden to worship those whom you worship besides Allah, since there have come to me evidences from my Lord, and I am commanded to submit (in Islam) to the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

67 He, it is Who has created you (Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed semen drops of male and female discharge (i.e. Adams offspring)) then from a clot (a piece of coagulated blood), then brings you forth as children, then (makes you grow) to reach the age of full strength, and afterwards to be old (men and women), though some among you die before, and that you reach an appointed term, in order that you may understand.

68 He it is Who gives life and causes death. And when He decides upon a thing He says to it only: "Be!" and it is.

69 See you not those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah? How are they turning away (from the truth, i.e. Islamic Monotheism to the falsehood of polytheism)?

70 Those who deny the Book (this Quran), and that with which We sent Our Messengers (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone sincerely, and to reject all false deities and to confess resurrection after the death for recompense) they will come to know (when they will be cast into the Fire of Hell).

Quran Chapter 40 - Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver) Page 3

35 Those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, without any authority that has come to them, it is greatly hateful and disgusting to Allah and to those who believe. Thus does Allah seal up the heart of every arrogant, tyrant. (So they cannot guide themselves to the Right Path).

36 And Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "O Haman! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways,

37 "The ways of the heavens, and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Moosa (Moses) but verily, I think him to be a liar." Thus it was made fair-seeming, in Firauns (Pharaoh) eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the (Right) Path, and the plot of Firaun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him).

38 And the man who believed said: "O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct (i.e. guide you to Allahs religion of Islamic Monotheism with which Moosa (Moses) has been sent).

39 "O my people! Truly, this life of the world is nothing but a (quick passing) enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever."

40 "Whosoever does an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof, and whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allah), such will enter Paradise, where they will be provided therein (with all things in abundance) without limit.

41 "And O my people! How is it that I call you to salvation while you call me to the Fire!

42 "You invite me to disbelieve in Allah (and in His Oneness), and to join partners in worship with Him; of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving!

43 "No doubt you call me to (worship) one who cannot grant (me) my request (or respond to my invocation) in this world or in the Hereafter. And our return will be to Allah, and Al-Musrifoon (i.e. polytheists and arrogants, those who commit great sins, the transgressors of Allahs set limits)! They shall be the dwellers of the Fire!

44 "And you will remember what I am telling you, and my affair I leave it to Allah. Verily, Allah is the All-Seer of (His) slaves."

45 So Allah saved him from the evils that they plotted (against him), while an evil torment encompassed Firauns (Pharaoh) people.

46 The Fire; they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): "Cause Firauns (Pharaoh) people to enter the severest torment!"

47 And, when they will dispute in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant; "Verily! We followed you, can you then take from us some portion of the Fire?"

48 Those who were arrogant will say: "We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily Allah has judged between (His) slaves!"

49 And those in the Fire will say to the keepers (angels) of Hell: "Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!"

50 They will say: "Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences and signs? They will say: "Yes." They will reply: "Then call (as you like)! And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in error!"

51 Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) in this worlds life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection),

Quran Chapter 40 - Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver) Page 2

18 And warn them (O Muhammad SAW) of the Day that is drawing near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), when the hearts will be choking the throats, and they can neither return them (hearts) to their chests nor can they throw them out. There will be no friend, nor an intercessor for the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), who could be given heed to.

19 Allah knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal.

20 And Allah judges with truth, while those to whom they invoke besides Him, cannot judge anything. Certainly, Allah! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

21 Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them? They were superior to them in strength, and in the traces (which they left) in the land. But Allah seized them with punishment for their sins. And none had they to protect them from Allah.

22 That was because there came to them their Messengers with clear evidences, proofs and signs but they disbelieved (in them). So Allah seized them with punishment. Verily, He is All-Strong, Severe in punishment.

23 And indeed We sent Moosa (Moses) with Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and a manifest authority,

24 To Firaun (Pharaoh), Haman and Qaroon (Korah), but they called (him): "A sorcerer, a liar!"

25 Then, when he brought them the Truth from Us, they said: "Kill the sons of those who believe with him and let their women live", but the plots of disbelievers are nothing but errors!

26 Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "Leave me to kill Moosa (Moses), and let him call his Lord (to stop me from killing him)! I fear that he may change your religion, or that he may cause mischief to appear in the land!"

27 Moosa (Moses) said: "Verily, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant who believes not in the Day of Reckoning!"

28 And a believing man of Firauns (Pharaoh) family, who hid his faith said: "Would you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allah, and he has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord? And if he is a liar, upon him will be (the sin of) his lie; but if he is telling the truth, then some of that (calamity) wherewith he threatens you will befall on you." Verily, Allah guides not one who is a Musrif (a polytheist, or a murderer who shed blood without a right, or those who commit great sins, oppressor, transgressor), a liar!

29 "O my people! Yours is the kingdom this day, you are uppermost in the land. But who will save us from the Torment of Allah, should it befall us?" Firaun (Pharaoh) said: "I show you only that which I see (correct), and I guide you only to the path of right policy!"

30 And he who believed said: "O my people! Verily, I fear for you a fate like that day (of disaster) of the Confederates (of old)!

31 "Like the fate of the people of Nooh (Noah), and Ad, and Thamood and those who came after them. And Allah wills no injustice for (His) slaves.

32 "And, O my people! Verily! I fear for you the Day when there will be mutual calling (between the people of Hell and of Paradise)."

33 A Day when you will turn your backs and flee having no protector from Allah, And whomsoever Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide.

34 And indeed Yoosuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you, till when he died you said: "No Messenger will Allah send after him." Thus Allah leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, oppressor, a criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtab (one who doubts Allahs Warning and His Oneness).

Quran Chapter 40 - Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver) Page 1

1 Ha-Meem. (These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings).

2 The revelation of the Book (this Quran) is from Allah the All-Mighty, the All-Knower.

3 The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of favours), La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return.

4 None disputes in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah but those who disbelieve. So let not their ability of going about here and there through the land (for their purposes) deceive you (O Muhammad SAW, their ultimate end will be the Fire of Hell)!

5 The people of Nooh (Noah) and the confederates after them denied (their Messengers) before these, and every (disbelieving) nation plotted against their Messenger to seize him, and disputed by means of falsehood to refute therewith the truth. So I seized them (with punishment), and how (terrible) was My punishment!

6 Thus has the Word of your Lord been justified against those who disbelieved, that they will be the dwellers of the Fire.

7 Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah) (saying): "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the torment of the blazing Fire!

8 "Our Lord! And make them enter the Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens) which you have promised them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their offspring! Verily, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

9 "And save them from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins, and whomsoever You save from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins (i.e. excuse them) that Day, him verily, You have taken into mercy." And that is the supreme success.

10 Those who disbelieve will be addressed (at the time of entering into the Fire): "Allahs aversion was greater towards you (in the worldly life when you used to reject the Faith) than your aversion towards one another (now in the Fire of Hell, as you are now enemies to one another), when you were called to the Faith but you used to refuse."

11 They will say: "Our Lord! You have made us to die twice (i.e. we were dead in the loins of our fathers and dead after our deaths in this world), and You have given us life twice (i.e. life when we were born and life when we are Resurrected)! Now we confess our sins, then is there any way to get out (of the Fire)?"

12 (It will be said): "This is because, when Allah Alone was invoked (in worship, etc.) you disbelieved, but when partners were joined to Him, you believed! So the judgement is only with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great!"

13 It is He, Who shows you His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and sends down (rain with which grows) provision for you from the sky. And none remembers but those who turn (to Allah) in obedience and in repentance (by begging His Pardon and by worshipping and obeying Him Alone and none else).

14 So, call you (O Muhammad SAW and the believers) upon (or invoke) Allah making (your) worship pure for Him (Alone) (by worshipping none but Him and by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allahs sake only and not to show-off and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). However much the disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allah) may hate (it).

15 (He is Allah) Owner of High Ranks and Degrees, the Owner of the Throne. He sends the Inspiration by His Command to any of His slaves He wills, that he (the person who receives inspiration) may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting (i.e. The Day of Resurrection).

16 The Day when they will (all) come out, nothing of them will be hidden from Allah. Whose is the kingdom this Day? (Allah Himself will reply to His Question): It is Allahs the One, the Irresistible!

17 This Day shall every person be recompensed for what he earned. No injustice (shall be done to anybody). Truly, Allah is Swift in reckoning.

Quran Chapter 39 - Surah Az-Zumar (The Troops) Page 5

61 And Allah will deliver those who are the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2) to their places of success (Paradise). Evil shall touch them not, nor shall they grieve.

62 Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakeel (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian, etc.) over all things.

63 To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, such are they who will be the losers.

64 Say (O Muhammad SAW to the polytheists, etc.): "Do you order me to worship other than Allah O you fools ?"

65 And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad SAW), as it was to those (Allahs Messengers) before you: "If you join others in worship with Allah, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."

66 Nay! But worship Allah (Alone and none else), and be among the grateful.

67 They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!

68 And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah will. Then it will blown a second time and behold, they will be standing, looking on (waiting).

69 And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah, when He will come to judge among men) and the Book will be placed (open) and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged.

70 And each person will be paid in full of what he did; and He is Best Aware of what they do.

71 And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups, till, when they reach it, the gates thereof will be opened (suddenly like a prison at the arrival of the prisoners). And its keepers will say, "Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves, reciting to you the Verses of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "Yes, but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!"

72 It will be said (to them): "Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein. And (indeed) what an evil abode of the arrogant!"

73 And those who kept their duty to their Lord will be led to Paradise in groups, till, when they reach it, and its gates will be opened (before their arrival for their reception) and its keepers will say: Salamun Alaikum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein."

74 And they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has fulfilled His Promise to us and has made us inherit (this) land. We can dwell in Paradise where we will; how excellent a reward for the (pious good) workers!"

75 And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne (of Allah) from all round, glorifying the praises of their Lord (Allah). And they (all the creatures) will be judged with truth, and it will be said. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)."

Quran Chapter 39 - Surah Az-Zumar (The Troops) Page 4

46 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! All-Knower of the Ghaib (unseen) and the seen. You will judge between your slaves about that wherein they used to differ."

47 And those who did wrong (the polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah), if they had all that is in earth and therewith as much again, they verily, would offer it to ransom themselves therewith on the Day of Resurrection from the evil torment, and there will become apparent to them from Allah, what they had not been reckoning.

48 And the evils of that which they earned will become apparent to them, and they will be encircled by that which they used to mock at!

49 When harm touches man, he calls to Us (for help), then when We have (rescued him from that harm and) changed it into a favour from Us, he says: "Only because of knowledge (that I possess) I obtained it." Nay, it is only a trial, but most of them know not!

50 Verily, those before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not.

51 So, the evil results of that which they earned overtook them. And those who did wrong of these (people to whom you (Muhammad SAW) have been sent), will also be overtaken by the evil results (torment) for that which they earned, and they will never be able to escape.

52 Do they not know that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He wills, and straitens it (for whom He wills). Verily, in this are signs for the folk who believe!

53 Say: "O Ibadee (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

54 "And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islamic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islam), before the torment comes upon you, then you will not be helped.

55 "And follow the best of that which is sent down to you from your Lord (i.e. this Quran, do what it orders you to do and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes on you suddenly while you perceive not!"

56 Lest a person should say: "Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah (i.e. I have not done what Allah has ordered me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked (at the truth! i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), the Quran, and Muhammad SAW and at the faithful believers, etc.)

57 Or (lest) he should say: "If only Allah had guided me, I should indeed have been among the Muttaqoon (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2)."

58 Or (lest) he should say when he sees the torment: "If only I had another chance (to return to the world) then I should indeed be among the Muhsinoon (good-doers - see V.2:112)."

59 Yes! Verily, there came to you My Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and you denied them, and were proud and were among the disbelievers.

60 And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allah (i.e. attributed to Him sons, partners, etc.) their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant ones?

Quran Chapter 39 - Surah Az-Zumar (The Troops) Page 3

31 Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be disputing before your Lord.

32 Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allah, and denies the truth (this Quran, the Prophet (Muhammad SAW), the Islamic Monotheism, the Resurrection and the reward or punishment according to good or evil deeds) when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers?

33 And he (Muhammad SAW) who has brought the truth (this Quran and Islamic Monotheism) and (those who) believed therein (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism), those are Al- Muttaqoon (the pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2).

34 They shall have all that they will desire with their Lord. That is the reward of Muhsinoon (good-doers - see V.2:112).

35 So that Allah may remit from them the evil of what they did and give them the reward, according to the best of what they used to do.

36 Is not Allah Sufficient for His slave? Yet they try to frighten you with those (whom they worship) besides Him! And whom Allah sends astray, for him there will be no guide.

37 And whomsoever Allah guides, for him there will be no misleader. Is not Allah All-Mighty, Possessor of Retribution?

38 And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" Surely, they will say: "Allah (has created them)." Say: "Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allah, if Allah intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm, or if He (Allah) intended some mercy for me, could they withhold His Mercy?" Say : "Sufficient for me is Allah; in Him those who trust (i.e. believers) must put their trust."

39 Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "O My people! Work according to your way, I am working (according to my way). Then you will come to know,

40 "To whom comes a disgracing torment, and on whom descends an everlasting torment."

41 Verily, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad SAW) the Book (this Quran) for mankind in truth. So whosoever accepts the guidance, it is only for his ownself, and whosoever goes astray, he goes astray only for his (own) loss. And you (O Muhammad SAW) are not a Wakeel (trustee or disposer of affairs, or keeper) over them.

42 It is Allah Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.

43 Have they taken others as intercessors besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have power over nothing whatever and have no intelligence?"

44 Say: "To Allah belongs all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you shall be brought back."

45 And when Allah Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust (from the Oneness of Allah () and when those (whom they obey or worship) besides Him (like all false deities other than Allah, it may be a Messenger like Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), Uzair (Ezra), an angel, a pious man, a jinn, or any other creature even idols, graves of religious people, saints, priests, monks, etc.) are mentioned, behold, they rejoice!

Quran Chapter 39 - Surah Az-Zumar (The Troops) Page 2

16 They shall have coverings of Fire, above them and covering (of Fire) beneath them; with this Allah does frighten His slaves: "O My slaves, therefore fear Me!"

17 Those who avoid At-Taghoot (false deities) by not worshipping them and turn to Allah in repentance, for them are glad tidings; so announce the good news to My slaves,

18 Those who listen to the Word (good advice La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and Islamic Monotheism, etc.) and follow the best thereof (i.e. worship Allah Alone, repent to Him and avoid Taghoot, etc.) those are (the ones) whom Allah has guided and those are men of understanding (like Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail, Salman Al-Farisi and Aboo Dhar Al-Ghifaree). (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 12, P. 244)

19 Is, then one against whom the Word of punishment justified (equal to the one who avoids evil). Will you (O Muhammad SAW) rescue him who is in the Fire?

20 But those who fear Allah and keep their duty to their Lord (Allah), for them are built lofty rooms; one above another under which rivers flow (i.e. Paradise). (This is) the Promise of Allah: and Allah does not fail in (His) Promise.

21 See you not, that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and then makes it to spring up) as water-springs and afterward thereby produces crops of different colours, and afterward they wither and you see them turn yellow, then He makes them dry and broken pieces. Verily, in this, is a Reminder for men of understanding.

22 Is he whose breast Allah has opened to Islam, so that he is in light from His Lord (as he who is non-Muslim)? So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error!

23 Allah has sent down the best statement, a Book (this Quran), its parts resembling each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah. He Guides therewith whom He pleases and whomever Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide.

24 Is he then, who will confront with his face the awful torment on the Day of Resurrection (as he who enters peacefully in Paradise)? And it will be said to the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.): "Taste what you used to earn!"

25 Those before them belied, and so the torment came on them from directions they perceived not.

26 So Allah made them to taste the disgrace in the present life, but greater is the torment of the Hereafter if they only knew!

27 And indeed We have put forth for men, in this Quran every kind of similitude in order that they may remember.

28 An Arabic Quran, without any crookedness (therein) in order that they may avoid all evil which Allah has ordered them to avoid, fear Him and keep their duty to Him.

29 Allah puts forth a similitude: a (slave) man belonging to many partners (like those who worship others along with Allah) disputing with one another, and a (slave) man belonging entirely to one master, (like those who worship Allah Alone). Are those two equal in comparison? All the praises and thanks be to Allah! But most of them know not.

30 Verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) will die and verily, they (too) will die.

Quran Chapter 39 - Surah Az-Zumar (The Troops) Page 1

1 The revelation of this Book (the Quran) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

2 Verily, We have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad SAW) in truth: So worship Allah (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allahs sake only, (and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship).

3 Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take Auliya (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever.

4 Had Allah willed to take a son (or offspring or children), He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He created. But glory be to Him! (He is above such things). He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.

5 He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon. Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.

6 He created you (all) from a single person (Adam); then made from him his wife (Hawwa (Eve)). And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs (of the sheep, two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and female). He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness, such is Allah your Lord. His is the kingdom, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turned away?

7 If you disbelieve, then verily, Allah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you what you used to do. Verily, He is the All-Knower of that which is in (mens) breasts.

8 And when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allah Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: "Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!"

9 Is one who is obedient to Allah, prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like one who disbelieves)? Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not?" It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allahs Signs and Verses).

10 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O My slaves who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), be afraid of your Lord (Allah) and keep your duty to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world, and Allahs earth is spacious (so if you cannot worship Allah at a place, then go to another)! Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning."

11 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, I am commanded to worship Allah (Alone) by obeying Him and doing religious deeds sincerely for Allahs sake only and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship;

12 "And I am commanded (this) in order that I may be the first of those who submit themselves to Allah (in Islam) as Muslims."

13 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, if I disobey my Lord, I am afraid of the torment of a great Day."

14 Say (O Muhammad SAW) "Allah Alone I worship by doing religious deeds sincerely for His sake only and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship."

15 So worship what you like besides Him. Say (O Muhammad SAW): "The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, that will be a manifest loss!"

Quran Chapter 38 - Surah Sad (Sad) Page 4

61 They will say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the Fire!"

62 And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones?"

63 Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?"

64 Verily, that is the very truth, the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!

65 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I am only a warner and there is no Ilah (God) except Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) the One, the Irresistible,

66 "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving."

67 Say: "That (this Quran) is a great news,

68 "From which you turn away!

69 "I had no knowledge of the chiefs (angels) on high when they were disputing and discussing (about the creation of Adam).

70 "Only this has been inspired to me, that I am a plain warner."

71 (Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Truly, I am going to create man from clay".

72 So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him."

73 So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them:

74 Except Iblees (Satan) he was proud and was one of the disbelievers.

75 (Allah) said: "O Iblees (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?"

76 (Iblees (Satan)) said: "I am better than he, You created me from fire, and You created him from clay."

77 (Allah) said: "Then get out from here, for verily, you are outcast.

78 "And verily!, My Curse is on you till the Day of Recompense."

79 (Iblees (Satan)) said: "My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected."

80 (Allah) said: "Verily! You are of those allowed respite

81 "Till the Day of the time appointed."

82 (Iblees (Satan)) said: "By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all,

83 "Except Your chosen slaves amongst them (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism)."

84 (Allah) said: "The Truth is, and the Truth I say,

85 That I will fill Hell with you (Iblees (Satan)) and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together."

86 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "No wage do I ask of you for this (the Quran), nor am I one of the Mutakallifoon (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist).

87 "It (this Quran) is only a Reminder for all the Alameen (mankind and jinns).

88 "And you shall certainly know the truth of it after a while."

Quran Chapter 38 - Surah Sad (Sad) Page 3

41 And remember Our slave Ayoob (Job), when he invoked his Lord (saying): "Verily! Shaitan (Satan) has touched me with distress (by losing my health) and torment (by losing my wealth)!

42 (Allah said to him): "Strike the ground with your foot: This is a spring of water to wash in, cool and a (refreshing) drink."

43 And We gave him (back) his family, and along with them the like thereof, as a Mercy from Us, and a Reminder for those who understand.

44 "And take in your hand a bundle of thin grass and strike therewith (your wife), and break not your oath . Truly! We found him patient. How excellent (a) slave! Verily, he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to Us)!

45 And remember Our slaves, Ibrahim (Abraham), Ishaque (Isaac), and Yaqoob (Jacob), (all) owners of strength (in worshipping Us) and (also) of religious understanding.

46 Verily, We did choose them by granting them (a good thing, i.e.) the remembrance of the home (in the Hereafter and they used to make the people remember it, and also they used to invite the people to obey Allah and to do good deeds for the Hereafter).

47 And they are with Us, verily, of the chosen and the best!

48 And remember Ismail (Ishmael), AlYasaa (Elisha), and Dhul-Kifl (Isaiah), all are among the best.

49 This is a Reminder, and verily, for the Muttaqoon (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2) is a good final return (Paradise), -,

50 Adn (Edn) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), whose doors will be open for them, (It is said (in Tafsir At-Tabaree, Part 23, Page 174) that one can speak to the doors, just one tells it to open and close, and it will open or close as it is ordered).

51 Therein they will recline; therein they will call for fruits in abundance and drinks;

52 And beside them will be chaste females (virgins) restraining their glances only for their husbands, (and) of equal ages.

53 This it is what you (Al-Muttaqoon - the pious) are promised for the Day of Reckoning!

54 (It will be said to them)! Verily, this is Our Provision which will never finish;

55 This is so! And for the Taghoon (transgressors, disobedient to Allah and His Messenger - disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, criminals, etc.), will be an evil final return (Fire),

56 Hell! Where they will burn, and worst (indeed) is that place to rest!

57 This is so! Then let them taste it, a boiling fluid and dirty wound discharges.

58 And other torments of similar kind, all together!

59 This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall burn in the Fire!

60 (The followers of the misleaders will say): "Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you (misleaders) who brought this upon us (because you misled us in the world), so evil is this place to stay in!"

Quran Chapter 38 - Surah Sad (Sad) Page 2

23 Verily, this my brother (in religion) has ninety nine ewes, while I have (only) one ewe, and he says: "Hand it over to me, and he overpowered me in speech."

24 (Dawood (David)) said (immediately without listening to the opponent): "He has wronged you in demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And, verily, many partners oppress one another, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and they are few." And Dawood (David) guessed that We have tried him and he sought Forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to Allah) in repentance.

25 So We forgave him that, and verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good place of (final) return (Paradise).

26 O Dawood (David)! Verily! We have placed you as a successor on earth, so judge you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire for it will mislead you from the Path of Allah. Verily! Those who wander astray from the Path of Allah (shall) have a severe torment, because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.

27 And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Islamic Monotheism) from the Fire!

28 Shall We treat those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, as Mufsidoon (those who associate partners in worship with Allah and commit crimes) on earth? Or shall We treat the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2), as the Fujjar (criminals, disbelievers, wicked, etc)?ONT>

29 (This is) a Book (the Quran) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember.

30 And to Dawood (David) We gave Sulaiman (Solomon). How excellent (a) slave! Verily, he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to Us)!

31 When there were displayed before him, in the afternoon, well trained horses of the highest breed (for Jihad (holy fighting in Allahs Cause)).

32 And he said: "Alas! I did love the good (these horses) instead of remembering my Lord (in my Asr prayer)" till the time was over, and (the sun) had hidden in the veil (of night).

33 Then he said "Bring them (horses) back to me." Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks (till the end of the display).

34 And, indeed We did try Sulaiman (Solomon) and We placed on his throne Jasadan (a devil, so he lost his kingdom for a while) but he did return (to his throne and kingdom by the Grace of Allah and he did return) to Allah with obedience and in repentance.

35 He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me: Verily, You are the Bestower."

36 So, We subjected to him the wind, it blew gently to his order whithersoever he willed,

37 And also the Shayatin (devils) from the jinns (including) every kind of builder and diver,

38 And also others bound in fetters.

39 (Saying of Allah to Sulaiman (Solomon)): "This is Our gift, so spend you or withhold, no account will be asked."

40 And verily, he enjoyed a near access to Us, and a good final return (Paradise).

Quran Chapter 38 - Surah Sad (Sad) Page 1

1 Sad (These letters (Sad etc.) are one of the miracles of the Quran and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings). By the Quran full of reminding.

2 Nay, those who desbelieve are in false pride and opposition.

3 How many a generation We have destroyed before them, and they cried out when there was no longer time for escape!

4 And they (Arab pagans) wonder that a warner (Prophet Muhammad SAW) has come to them from among themselves! And the disbelievers say: "This (Prophet Muhammad SAW) is a sorcerer, a liar.

5 "Has he made the aliha (gods) (all) into One Ilah (God - Allah). Verily, this is a curious thing!"

6 And the leaders among them went about (saying): "Go on, and remain constant to your aliha (gods)! Verily, This is a thing designed (against you)!

7 "We have not heard (the like) of this among the people of these later days. This is nothing but an invention!

8 "Has the Reminder been sent down to him (alone) from among us?" Nay! but they are in doubt about My Reminder (this Quran)! Nay, but they have not tasted (My) Torment!

9 Or have they the treasures of the Mercy of your Lord, the All-Mighty, the Real Bestower?

10 Or is it that the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them is theirs? If so, let them ascend up with means (to the heavens)!

11 (As they denied Allahs Message) they will be a defeated host like the confederates of the old times (who were defeated).

12 Before them (were many who) belied Messengers, the people of Nooh (Noah); and Ad; and Firaun (Pharaoh) the man of stakes (with which he used to punish the people),

13 And Thamood, and the people of Lout (Lot), and the dwellers of the wood; such were the confederates.

14 Not one of them but belied the Messengers, therefore My Torment was justified,

15 And these only wait for a single Saihah (shout (i.e. the blowing of the Trumpet by the angel Israfil Sarafil)) there will be no pause or ending thereto (till everything will perish except Allah (the only God full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour)).

16 They say: "Our Lord! Hasten to us Qittana (i.e. our Record of good and bad deeds so that we see it) before the Day of Reckoning!"

17 Be patient (O Muhammad SAW) of what they say, and remember Our slave Dawood (David), endued with power. Verily, he was ever oft-returning in all matters and in repentance (toward Allah).

18 Verily, We made the mountains to glorify Our Praises with him (Dawood (David)) in the Ashi (i.e. after the mid-day till sunset) and Ishraq (i.e. after the sunrise till mid-day).

19 And (so did) the birds assembled: all with him (Dawood (David)) did turn (to Allah i.e. glorified His Praises).

20 We made his kingdom strong and gave him Al-Hikmah (Prophethood, etc.) and sound judgement in speech and decision.

21 And has the news of the litigants reached you? When they climbed over the wall into (his) Mihrab (a praying place or a private room,).

22 When they entered in upon Dawood (David), he was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not! (We are) two litigants, one of whom has wronged the other, therefore judge between us with truth, and treat us not with injustice, and guide us to the Right Way.

Quran Chapter 37 - Surah As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks) Page 7

151 Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:

152 "Allah has begotten off spring or children (i.e. angels are the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!

153 Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?

154 What is the matter with you? How do you decide?

155 Will you not then remember?

156 Or is there for you a plain authority?

157 Then bring your Book if you are truthful!

158 And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the jinns know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be brought for accounts).

159 Glorified is Allah! (He is Free) from what they attribute unto Him!

160 Except the slaves of Allah, whom He choses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).

161 So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols).

162 Cannot lead astray (turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers),

163 Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!

164 There is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);

165 Verily, we (angels), we stand in rows for the prayers (as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);

166 Verily, we (angels), we are they who glorify (Allahs Praises i.e. perform prayers).

167 And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say;

168 "If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW as a Messenger of Allah).

169 "We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"

170 But (now that the Quran has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Quran and in Prophet Muhammad SAW , and all that which he brought, the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!

171 And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,

172 That they verily would be made triumphant.

173 And that Our hosts, they verily would be the victors.

174 So turn away (O Muhammad SAW) from them for a while,

175 And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!

176 Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?

177 Then, when it descends into their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!

178 So turn (O Muhammad SAW) away from them for a while,

179 And watch and they shall see (the torment)!

180 Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!

181 And peace be on the Messengers!

182 And all the praise and thanks be to Allah, Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

Quran Chapter 37 - Surah As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks) Page 6

126 "Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"

127 But they denied him (Iliyas (Elias)), so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),

128 Except the chosen slaves of Allah.

129 And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times;

130 Salamun (peace) be upon Ilyaseen (Elias)!"

131 Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinoon (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allahs sake only - see V.2:112).

132 Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

133 And verily, Lout (Lot) was one of the Messengers.

134 When We saved him and his family, all,

135 Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.

136 Then We destroyed the rest (i.e. the towns of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea (now) in Palestine). (See the "Book of History" by Ibn Katheer).

137 Verily, you pass by them in the morning.

138 And at night; will you not then reflect?

139 And, verily, Yoonus (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.

140 When he ran to the laden ship,

141 He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers,

142 Then a (big) fish swallowed him and he had done an act worthy of blame.

143 Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,

144 He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

145 But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,

146 And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.

147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.

148 And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.

149 Now ask them (O Muhammad SAW): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"

150 Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?

Quran Chapter 37 - Surah As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks) Page 5

101 So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.

102 And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offer you in sacrifice to Allah), so look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha Allah (if Allah will), you shall find me of As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.)."

103 Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);

104 And We called out to him: "O Abraham!

105 You have fulfilled the dream (vision)!" Verily! Thus do We reward the Muhsinoon (good-doers - see V.2:112).

106 Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial

107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. a ram);

108 And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times.

109 Salamun (peace) be upon Ibrahim (Abraham)!"

110 Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinoon (good-doers - see V.2:112).

111 Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

112 And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaque (Isaac) a Prophet from the righteous.

113 We blessed him and Ishaque (Isaac), and of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.

114 And, indeed We gave Our Grace to Moosa (Moses) and Haroon (Aaron).

115 And We saved them and their people from the great distress;

116 And helped them, so that they became the victors;

117 And We gave them the clear Scripture;

118 And guided them to the Right Path;

119 And We left for them (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times;

120 Salamun (peace) be upon Moosa (Moses) and Haroon (Aaron)!"

121 Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinoon (good-doers - see V.2:112).

122 Verily! They were two of Our believing slaves.

123 And verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.

124 When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah?

125 "Will you call upon Bal (a well- known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,

Quran Chapter 37 - Surah As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks) Page 4

76 And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),

77 And, his progeny, them We made the survivors (i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth).

78 And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations to come in later times:

79 Salamun (peace) be upon Nooh (Noah) (from Us) among the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!"

80 Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinoon (good-doers - see V.2:112).

81 Verily, he (Nooh (Noah) ) was one of Our believing slaves.

82 Then We drowned the other (disbelievers and polytheists, etc.).

83 And, verily, among those who followed his (Noohs (Noah)) way (Islamic Monotheism) was Ibrahim (Abraham).

84 When he came to his Lord with a pure heart (attached to Allah Alone and none else, worshipping none but Allah Alone true Islamic Monotheism, pure from the filth of polytheism).

85 When he said to his father and to his people: "What is it that which you worship?

86 "Is it a falsehood aliha (gods) other than Allah that you seek?

87 "Then what do you think about the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)?"

88 Then he cast a glance at the stars (to deceive them),

89 And he said: "Verily, I am sick (with plague. He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagans feast)."

90 So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).

91 Then he turned to their aliha (gods) and said: "Will you not eat (of the offering before you)?

92 "What is the matter with you that you speak not?"

93 Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.

94 Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.

95 He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?

96 "While Allah has created you and what you make!"

97 They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"

98 So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.

99 And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"

100 "My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."

Quran Chapter 37 - Surah As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks) Page 3

51 A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world),

52 Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).

53 "(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"

54 (The man) said: "Will you look down?"

55 So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.

56 He said: "By Allah! You have nearly ruined me.

57 "Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."

58 (Allah informs about that true believer that he said): "Are we then not to die (any more)?

59 "Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

60 Truly, this is the supreme success!

61 For the like of this let the workers work.

62 Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqoom (a horrible tree in Hell)?

63 Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zalimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers, etc.).

64 Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,

65 The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of Shayatin (devils);

66 Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

67 Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture (of boiling water and Zaqqoom in their bellies).

68 Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.

69 Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;

70 So they (too) made haste to follow in their footsteps!

71 And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;

72 And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);

73 Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not).

74 Except the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

75 And indeed Nooh (Noah) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer (the request).

Quran Chapter 37 - Surah As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks) Page 2

26 Nay, but that Day they shall surrender,

27 And they will turn to one another and question one another.

28 They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side (i.e. from the right side of one of us and beautify for us every evil, order us for polytheism, and stop us from the truth i.e. Islamic Monotheism and from every good deed)."

29 They will reply: "Nay, you yourselves were not believers.

30 "And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were transgressing people (disobedient, polytheists, and disbelievers).

31 "So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to) taste (the torment).

32 "So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray."

33 Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.

34 Certainly, that is how We deal with AlMujrimoon (polytheists, sinners, criminals, the disobedient to Allah, etc.).

35 Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha ill-Allah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).

36 And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our aliha (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?

37 Nay! he (Muhammad SAW) has come with the truth (i.e. Allahs Religion - Islamic Monotheism and this Quran) and he confirms the Messengers (before him who brought Allahs religion - Islamic Monotheism).

38 Verily, you (pagans of Makkah) are going to taste the painful torment;

39 And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allahs disobedience which you used to do in this world);

40 Save the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

41 For them there will be a known provision (in Paradise).

42 Fruits; and they shall be honoured,

43 In the Gardens of delight (Paradise),

44 Facing one another on thrones,

45 Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine;

46 White, delicious to the drinkers,

47 Neither they will have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin, etc.) from that, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.

48 And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes.

49 (Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.

50 Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning.

Quran Chapter 37 - Surah As-Saaffat (Those Who Set The Ranks) Page 1

1 By those (angels) ranged in ranks (or rows).

2 By those (angels) who drive the clouds in a good way.

3 By those (angels) who bring the Book and the Quran from Allah to mankind (Tafsir Ibn Katheer).

4 Verily your Ilah (God) is indeed One (i.e. Allah);

5 Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord of every point of the suns risings. (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah).

6 Verily! We have adorned the near heaven with the stars (for beauty).

7 And to guard against every rebellious devil.

8 They cannot listen to the higher group (angels) for they are pelted from every side.

9 Outcast, and theirs is a constant (or painful) torment.

10 Except such as snatch away something by stealing and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.

11 Then ask them (i.e. these polytheists, O Muhammad SAW): "Are they stronger as creation, or those (others like the heavens and the earth and the mountains, etc.) whom We have created?" Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.

12 Nay, you (O Muhammad SAW) wondered (at their insolence) while they mock (at you and at the Quran).

13 And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.

14 And when they see an Ayah (a sign, a proof, or an evidence) from Allah, they mock at it.

15 And they say: "This is nothing but evident magic!

16 "When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we (then) verily be resurrected?

17 "And also our fathers of old?"

18 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."

19 It will be a single Zajrah (shout (i.e. the second blowing of the Trumpet)), and behold, they will be staring!

20 They will say: "Woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense!"

21 (It will be said): "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."

22 (It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship.

23 "Instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell);

24 "But stop them, verily they are to be questioned.

25 "What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in the world)?"

Quran Chapter 36 - Surah Ya Seen (Ya Seen) Page 4

61 And that you should worship Me (Alone Islamic Monotheism, and set up not rivals, associate-gods with Me). That is a Straight Path.

62 And indeed he (Satan) did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did you not, then, understand?

63 This is Hell which you were promised!

64 Burn therein this Day, for that you used to disbelieve.

65 This Day, We shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn. (It is said that ones left thigh will be the first to bear the witness). (Tafsir At-Tabaree, Vol. 22, Page 24)

66 And if it had been Our Will, We would surely have wiped out (blinded) their eyes, so that they would struggle for the Path, how then would they see?

67 And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they should have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back. (As it happened with the Jews see Verse 7:166 The Quran).

68 And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand?

69 And We have not taught him (Muhammad SAW) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is only a Reminder and a plain Quran.

70 That he or it (Muhammad SAW or the Quran) may give warning to him who is living (a healthy minded the believer), and that Word (charge) may be justified against the disbelievers (dead, as they reject the warnings).

71 Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners.

72 And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat.

73 And they have (other) benefits from them (besides), and they get (milk) to drink, will they not then be grateful?

74 And they have taken besides Allah aliha (gods), hoping that they might be helped (by those so called gods).

75 They cannot help them, but they will be brought forward as a troop against those who worshipped them (at the time of Reckoning).

76 So let not their speech, then, grieve you (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, We know what they conceal and what they reveal.

77 Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent.

78 And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?"

79 Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!"

80 He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith.

81 Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator.

82 Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is!

83 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
