In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
2:51. And remember We
appointed forty nights for Moses, and in his absence ye took the calf (for worship), and ye
did grievous wrong.
2:52. Even then We did
forgive you; there was a chance for you to be grateful.
2:53. And remember We
gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion (Between right and wrong): There was
a chance for you to be guided aright.
2:54. And remember
Moses said to his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed wronged yourselves
by your worship of the calf:
So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers);
that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned
towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft- Returning, Most Merciful.
2:55. And remember ye
said: "O Moses! We shall never believe in thee until we see Allah
manifestly," but ye were dazed with thunder and lighting even as ye looked
on.
2:56. Then We raised you up after your
death: Ye had the chance to be grateful.
2:57. And We gave you the
shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the
good things We have provided for you:" (But they rebelled); to us they did
no harm, but they harmed their own souls.
2:58. And remember We
said: "Enter this town, and eat of the plenty therein as ye wish; but
enter the gate with humility, in posture and in words, and We shall forgive you
your faults and increase (the portion of) those who do good."
2:59. But the
transgressors changed the word from that which had been given them; so We sent
on the transgressors a plague from heaven, for that they infringed (Our
command) repeatedly.
2:92. There came to
you Moses with clear (Signs); yet ye worshipped the calf (Even) after that, and ye did behave
wrongfully.
2:
93.
And remember We took your covenant and We raised above you (the towering height) of Mount
(Sinai): (Saying): "Hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken (to
the Law)": They said:" We hear, and we disobey:" And they had to
drink into their hearts (of the taint) of the calf because of their Faithlessness. Say: "Vile
indeed are the behests of your Faith if ye have any faith!"
2:
94.
Say: "If the last Home, with Allah, be for you specially, and not for
anyone else, then seek ye for death, if ye are sincere."
2:
95.
But they will never seek for death, on account of the (sins) which their hands
have sent on before them. and Allah is well-acquainted with the wrong-doers.
2:
96.
Thou wilt indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life,-even more than
the idolaters: Each one
of them wishes He could be given a life of a thousand years: But the grant of
such life will not save him from (due) punishment. For Allah sees well all that
they do.
2:170. When it is said
to them: "Follow what Allah hath revealed:" They say: "Nay! we
shall follow the ways of our fathers."
What! even though their fathers
Were void of wisdom and guidance?
2:171. The parable of
those who reject Faith is as if one were to shout Like a goat-herd, to things
that listen to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are
void of wisdom.
2:221. Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.

4:153. The people of
the Book ask thee to cause a book to descend to them from heaven: Indeed they
asked Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said: "Show us Allah
in public," but they were dazed for their presumption, with thunder and
lightning. Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them; even so we forgave
them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority.
5:
103. It was not Allah who instituted (superstitions like those of) a slit-ear
she- camel, or a she-camel let loose for free pasture, or idol sacrifices for
twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels freed from work: It is blasphemers
who invent a lie against Allah. but most of them lack wisdom.
5:104. When it is said
to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to the Messenger.: They
say: "Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following." what! even though
their fathers were void
of knowledge and guidance?
5:105. O ye who
believe! Guard your own souls: If ye follow (right) guidance, no hurt can come
to you from those who stray. the goal of you all is to Allah. it is He that
will show you the truth of all that ye do.
6:74. Lo! Abraham said
to his father Azar:
"Takest thou idols
for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error."
6:75. So also did We
show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might
(with understanding) have certitude.
6:76. When the night
covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my Lord." But when
it set, He said: "I love not those that set."
6:77. When he saw the
moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the
moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those
who go astray."
6:78. When he saw the
sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest
(of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed
free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.
6:79. "For me, I
have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the
earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah."
6:80. His people
disputed with him. He said: "(Come) ye to dispute with me, about Allah,
when He (Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with
Allah. Unless my Lord willeth, (nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in
His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves) be admonished?
6:81. "How should
I fear (the beings) ye associate with Allah, when ye fear not to give partners
to Allah without any warrant having been given to you? Which of (us) two
parties hath more right to security? (tell me) if ye know.
6:82. "It is
those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong - that are (truly)
in security, for they are on (right) guidance."
6:83. That was the
reasoning about Us, which We gave to Abraham (to use) against his people: We raise whom We will, degree
after degree: for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge.

6:148. Those who give
partners (to Allah. will say: "If Allah had wished, we should not have
given partners to Him nor would our fathers; nor should we have had any taboos." So did their
ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any
(certain) knowledge? If so, produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture:
ye do nothing but lie."
6:149. Say: "With
Allah is the argument that reaches home: if it had been His will, He could
indeed have guided you all."
6:150. Say: "Bring
forward your witnesses to prove that Allah did forbid so and so." If they
bring such witnesses, be not thou amongst them: Nor follow thou the vain
desires of such as treat our signs as falsehoods, and such as believe not in
the Hereafter: for they hold others as equal with their Guardian-Lord.
7:27. O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.
7:28. When they do aught that is shameful, they say:
"We found our fathers
doing so"; and "(Allah) commanded us thus": Say: "Nay,
Allah never commands what is shameful: do ye say of Allah what ye know
not?"
7:29. Say: "My Lord hath commanded justice; and that
ye set your whole selves (to Him) at every time and place of prayer, and call
upon Him, making your devotion sincere as in His sight: such as He created you
in the beginning, so shall ye return."
7:30. Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice)
deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil ones, in preference
to Allah, for their friends and protectors, and think that they receive
guidance.

7:70. They said: "Comest thou to us, that we may worship Allah alone, and give up the cult of our fathers? bring us what thou threatenest us with, if so be that thou tellest the truth!"
7:70. They said: "Comest thou to us, that we may worship Allah alone, and give up the cult of our fathers? bring us what thou threatenest us with, if so be that thou tellest the truth!"
7:71. He said: "Punishment and wrath have already
come upon you from your Lord: dispute ye with me over names which ye have
devised - ye and your fathers,-
without authority from Allah. then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting."
7:72. We saved him and those who adhered to him. By Our
mercy, and We cut off the roots of those who rejected Our signs and did not
believe.
7:138. We took the Children of Israel (with safety) across
the sea. They came upon a people devoted entirely to some idols they had. They said:
"O Moses! fashion for us a god like unto the gods they have." He
said: "Surely ye are a people without knowledge.
7:139. "As to these folk,- the cult they are in is
(but) a fragment of a ruin, and vain is the (worship) which they
practise."
7:140. He said: "Shall I seek for you a god other
than the (true) Allah, when it is Allah Who hath endowed you with gifts above
the nations?"
7:141. And remember We rescued you from Pharaoh's people,
who afflicted you with the worst of penalties, who slew your male children and
saved alive your females: in that was a momentous trial from your Lord.
7:148. The people of
Moses made, in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of calf, (for worship): it
seemed to low: did they not see that it could neither speak to them, nor show
them the way? They took it for worship and they did wrong.
7:149. When they repented, and saw that they had erred,
they said: "If our Lord have not mercy upon us and forgive us, we shall
indeed be of those who perish."
7:150. When Moses came back to his people, angry and
grieved, he said: "Evil it is that ye have done in my place in my absence:
did ye make haste to bring on the judgment of your Lord?" He put down the
tablets, seized his brother by (the hair of) his head, and dragged him to him.
Aaron said: "Son of my mother! the people did indeed reckon me as naught,
and went near to slaying me! Make not the enemies rejoice over my misfortune,
nor count thou me amongst the people of sin."
7:151. Moses prayed: "O my Lord! forgive me and my
brother! admit us to Thy mercy! for Thou art the Most Merciful of those who
show mercy!"
7:152. Those who took the calf (for worship) will indeed be overwhelmed with
wrath from their Lord, and with shame in this life: thus do We recompense those
who invent (falsehoods).
7:153. But those who do wrong but repent thereafter and
(truly) believe,- verily thy Lord is thereafter Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
7:173. Or lest ye should say: "Our fathers before us may have
taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then
destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile?"
7:174. Thus do We explain the signs in detail; and perchance
they may turn (unto Us).
7:175. Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent
Our signs, but he passed them by: so Satan followed him up, and he went astray.
7:176. If it had been Our will, We should have elevated
him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain
desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his
tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the
similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they
may reflect.
7:177. Evil as an example are people who reject Our signs
and wrong their own souls.
7:178. Whom Allah doth guide,- he is on the right path:
whom He rejects from His guidance,- such are the persons who perish.
7:179. Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell:
They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not,
and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,- nay more misguided:
for they are heedless (of warning).
7:180. The most beautiful names belong to Allah. so call
on him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in his names: for what they
do, they will soon be requited.
9:23. O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.
9:24. Say: If it be
that your fathers, your
sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have
gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye
delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in
His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides
not the rebellious.
11:62. They said:
"O Salih! thou hast been of us! a centre of our hopes hitherto! dost thou
(now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in suspicious
(disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us."
11:63. He said: "O
my people! do ye see? if I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord and He hath sent
Mercy unto me from Himself,- who then can help me against Allah if I were to
disobey Him? What then would ye add to my (portion) but perdition?
11:87. They said: "O Shu'aib! Does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised, or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right- minded!"
11:88. He said: "O
my people! see ye whether I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord, and He hath given
me sustenance (pure and) good as from Himself? I wish not, in opposition to
you, to do that which I forbid you to do. I only desire (your) betterment to
the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah. In
Him I trust, and unto Him I look.
11:89. "And O my
people! let not my dissent (from you) cause you to sin, lest ye suffer a fate
similar to that of the people of Noah or of Hud or of Salih, nor are the people
of Lut far off from you!
11:90. "But ask
forgiveness of your Lord, and turn unto Him (in repentance): For my Lord is
indeed full of mercy and loving-kindness."
11:91. They said:
"O Shu'aib! much of what thou sayest we do not understand! In fact among
us we see that thou hast no strength! Were it not for thy family, we should
certainly have stoned thee! for thou hast among us no great position!"
11:92. He said: "O
my people! is then my family of more consideration with you than Allah. For ye
cast Him away behind your backs (with contempt). But verily my Lord
encompasseth on all sides all that ye do!
11:93. "And O my
people! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): Soon will ye know who it is on
whom descends the penalty of ignominy; and who is a liar! and watch ye! for I
too am watching with you!"
11:94. When Our decree
issued, We saved Shu'aib and those who believed with him, by (special) mercy
from Ourselves: But the (mighty) blast did seize the wrong- doers, and they lay
prostrate in their homes by the morning,-
11:95. As if they had
never dwelt and flourished there! Ah! Behold! How the Madyan were removed (from
sight) as were removed the Thamud!
11:109. Be not then in
doubt as to what these men worship. They worship nothing but what their fathers worshipped before
(them): but verily We shall pay them back (in full) their portion without (the
least) abatement.
12:40. "If not
Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah
hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but Allah. He hath
commanded that ye worship none but Him: that is the right religion, but most
men understand not...
14:10. Their apostles
said: "Is there a doubt about Allah, The Creator of the heavens and the
earth? It is He Who invites you, in order that He may forgive you your sins and
give you respite for a term appointed!" They said: "Ah! ye are no
more than human, like ourselves! Ye wish to turn us away from the (gods) our fathers used to worship: then
bring us some clear authority."
14:11. Their apostles
said to them: "True, we are human like yourselves, but Allah doth grant
His grace to such of his servants as He pleases. It is not for us to bring you
an authority except as Allah permits. And on Allah let all men of faith put
their trust.
14:12. "No reason
have we why we should not put our trust on Allah. Indeed He Has guided us to
the Ways we (follow). We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you
may cause us. For those who put their trust should put their trust on
Allah."
14:13. And the
Unbelievers said to their apostles: "Be sure we shall drive you out of our
land, or ye shall return to our religion." But their Lord inspired (this
Message) to them: "Verily We shall cause the wrong-doers to perish!
14:14. "And verily
We shall cause you to abide in the land, and succeed them. This for such as
fear the Time when they shall stand before My tribunal,- such as fear the
punishment denounced."
14:15. But they sought
victory and decision (there and then), and frustration was the lot of every
powerful obstinate transgressor.
14:16. In front of such
a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water.
14:17. In gulps will he
sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will
come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will
be a chastisement unrelenting.
14:18. The parable of
those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind
blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they
have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).
14:19. Seest thou not
that Allah created the heavens and the earth in Truth? If He so will, He can
remove you and put (in your place) a new creation?
14:20. Nor is that for
Allah any great matter.
14:30. And they set up
(idols) as equal to Allah,
to mislead (men) from the Path! Say: "Enjoy (your brief power)! But verily
ye are making straightway for Hell!"
14:31. Speak to my
servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and spend
(in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and openly,
before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor
befriending.
14:32. It is Allah Who
hath created the heavens and the earth and sendeth down rain from the skies,
and with it bringeth out fruits wherewith to feed you; it is He Who hath made
the ships subject to you, that they may sail through the sea by His command;
and the rivers (also) hath He made subject to you.
14:35. Remember Abraham
said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve
me and my sons from worshipping idols.
14:36. "O my Lord!
they have indeed led astray many among mankind; He then who follows my (ways)
is of me, and he that disobeys me,- but Thou art indeed Oft- forgiving, Most
Merciful.
16:35. The worshippers
of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped
aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than
His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of apostles
but to preach the Clear Message?
16:36. For We assuredly
sent amongst every People an apostle, (with the Command), "Serve Allah,
and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on
whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and
see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).
16:37. If thou art
anxious for their guidance, yet Allah guideth not such as He leaves to stray,
and there is none to help them.
16:38. They swear their
strongest oaths by Allah, that Allah will not raise up those who die: Nay, but it is a promise
(binding) on Him in truth: but most among mankind realise it not.
16:39. (They must be raised up), in order that He
may manifest to them the truth of that wherein they differ, and that the
rejecters of Truth may realise that they had indeed (surrendered to) Falsehood.
18:4. Further, that He
may warn those (also) who say, "(Allah) hath begotten a son":
18:5. No knowledge
have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from
their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!
18:6. Thou wouldst
only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in grief, if they
believe not in this Message.
18:7. That which is on
earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may
test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
18:8. Verily what is
on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).
20:87. They said:
"We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were
made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw
them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested.
20:88. "Then he
brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so
they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has
forgotten!"
20:89. Could they not
see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power
either to harm them or to do them good?
20:90. Aaron had
already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in
this: for verily your Lord is ((Allah)) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my
command."
20:91. They had said:
"We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until
Moses returns to us."
20:92. (Moses) said:
"O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong,
20:93. "From
following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?"
20:94. (Aaron) replied:
"O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my
head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among
the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'"
20:95. (Moses) said:
"What then is thy case, O Samiri?"
20:96. He replied:
"I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint
of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me."
20:97. (Moses) said:
"Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt
say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise
that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted
worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it
broadcast in the sea!"
20:98. But the god of
you all is the One Allah. there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in
His knowledge.
20:99. Thus do We
relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a
Message from Our own Presence.
20:100. If any do turn
away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment;
20:101. They will abide
in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day,-
20:102. The Day when the
Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with
terror).
20:103. In whispers will
they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days);
20:104. We know best
what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say:
"Ye tarried not longer than a day!"
20:105. They ask thee
concerning the Mountains: say, "My Lord will uproot them and scatter them
as dust;
20:106. "He will
leave them as plains smooth and level;
20:107. "Nothing
crooked or curved wilt thou see in their place."
20:108. On that Day will
they follow the Caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all
sounds shall humble themselves in the Presence of ((Allah)) Most Gracious:
nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march).
20:109. On that Day shall
no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by
((Allah)) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him.
20:110. He knows what
(appears to His creatures as) before or after or behind them: but they shall
not compass it with their knowledge.
20:111. (All) faces
shall be humbled before (Him) - the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal:
hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).
20:112. But he who works
deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any
curtailment (of what is his due).
20:113. Thus have We
sent this down - an arabic Qur'an - and explained therein in detail some of the
warnings, in order that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause their
remembrance (of Him).
20:114. High above all
is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its
revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in
knowledge."
21:52. Behold! he said
to his father and his
people, "What are these images, to which ye are (so assiduously)
devoted?"
21:53. They said,
"We found our fathers
worshipping them."
21:54. He said,
"Indeed ye have been in manifest error - ye and your fathers."
21:55. They said,
"Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those who jest?"
21:56. He said,
"Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He Who created
them (from nothing): and I am a witness to this (Truth).
21:57. "And by
Allah, I have a plan for your idols
- after ye go away and turn your backs"..
21:58. So he broke them
to pieces, (all) but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and address
themselves) to it.
21:59. They said,
"Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be some man of
impiety!"
21:60. They said,
"We heard a youth talk of them: He is called Abraham."
21:61. They said,
"Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may bear
witness."
21:62. They said,
"Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?"
21:63. He said:
"Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one! ask them, if they can
speak intelligently!"
21:64. So they turned
to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!"
21:65. Then were they
confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"
21:66. (Abraham) said,
"Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good
to you nor do you harm?
21:67. "Fie upon
you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah. Have ye no
sense?"..
21:68. They said,
"Burn him and protect your gods, If ye do (anything at all)!"
21:69. We said, "O
Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"
21:70. Then they sought
a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most!
21:71. But We delivered
him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed
for the nations.
22:30. Such (is the
Pilgrimage): whoever honours the sacred rites of Allah, for him it is good in
the Sight of his Lord. Lawful to you (for food in Pilgrimage) are cattle,
except those mentioned to you (as exception): but shun the abomination of idols, and shun the word that
is false,-
22:31. Being true in
faith to Allah, and never assigning partners to Him: if anyone assigns partners
to Allah, is as if he had fallen from heaven and been snatched up by birds, or
the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and thrown him into a far-
distant place.
23:65. (It will be
said): "Groan not in supplication this day: for ye shall certainly not be
helped by Us.
23:66. "My Signs
used to be rehearsed to you, but ye used to turn back on your heels-
23:67. "In
arrogance: talking nonsense about the (Qur'an), like one telling fables by
night."
23:68. Do they not
ponder over the Word (of Allah., or has anything (new) come to them that did
not come to their fathers
of old?
23:69. Or do they not
recognise their Messenger, that they deny him?
23:70. Or do they say,
"He is possessed"? Nay, he has brought them the Truth, but most of
them hate the Truth.
23:71. If the Truth had
been in accord with their desires, truly the heavens and the earth, and all
beings therein would have been in confusion and corruption! Nay, We have sent
them their admonition, but they turn away from their admonition.
23:80. It is He Who
gives life and death, and to Him (is due) the alternation of Night and Day:
will ye not then understand?
23:81. On the contrary
they say things similar to what the ancients said.
23:82. They say:
"What! when we die and become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?
23:83. "Such
things have been promised to us and to our fathers before! they are nothing but tales of the
ancients!"
23:84. Say: "To
whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (say) if ye know!"
23:85. They will say,
"To Allah." say: "Yet will ye not receive admonition?"
23:86. Say: "Who
is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of Glory)
Supreme?"
23:87. They will say,
"(They belong) to Allah." Say: "Will ye not then be filled with
awe?"
23:88. Say: "Who
is it in whose hands is the governance of all things,- who protects (all), but
is not protected (of any)? (say) if ye know."
23:89. They will say,
"(It belongs) to Allah." Say: "Then how are ye deluded?"
23:90. We have sent
them the Truth: but they indeed practise falsehood!
26:70. And rehearse to
them (something of) Abraham's story.
26:71. Behold, he said
to his father and his
people: "What worship ye?"
26:72. They said:
"We worship idols,
and we remain constantly in attendance on them."
26:73. He said:
"Do they listen to you when ye call (on them), or do you good or
harm?"
26:74. They said:
"Nay, but we found our fathers
doing thus (what we do)."
26:75. He said:
"Do ye then see whom ye have been worshipping,-
26:76. "Ye and
your fathers before
you?-
26:77. "For they
are enemies to me; not so the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds;
26:78. "Who
created me, and it is He Who guides me;
26:79. "Who gives
me food and drink,
26:80. "And when I
am ill, it is He Who cures me;
26:81. "Who will
cause me to die, and then to life (again);
26:82. "And who, I
hope, will forgive me my faults on the day of Judgment.
26:83. "O my Lord!
bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous;
26:84. "Grant me
honourable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations);
26:85. "Make me
one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss;
26:86. "Forgive my
father, for that he is
among those astray;
26:87. "And let me
not be in disgrace on the Day when (men) will be raised up;-
26:88. "The Day
whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,
26:89. "But only
he (will prosper) that brings to Allah a sound heart;
26:90. "To the
righteous, the Garden will be brought near,
26:91. "And to
those straying in Evil, the Fire will be placed in full view;
26:92. "And it
shall be said to them: 'Where are the (gods) ye worshipped-
26:93. "'Besides
Allah. Can they help you or help themselves?'
26:94. "Then they
will be thrown headlong into the (Fire),- they and those straying in Evil,
26:95. "And the
whole hosts of Iblis together.
26:96. "They will
say there in their mutual bickerings:
26:97. "'By Allah,
we were truly in an error manifest,
26:98. "'When we
held you as equals with the Lord of the Worlds;
26:99. "'And our
seducers were only those who were steeped in guilt.
26:100. "'Now,
then, we have none to intercede (for us),
26:101. "'Nor a
single friend to feel (for us).
26:102. "'Now if we
only had a chance of return we shall truly be of those who believe!'"
26:103. Verily in this
is a Sign but most of them do not believe.
26:104. And verily thy
Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
27:67. The Unbelievers
say: "What! when we become dust,- we and our fathers,- shall we really be raised (from the dead)?
27:68. "It is true
we were promised this,- we and our fathers before (us): these are nothing but tales of the
ancients."
27:69. Say: "Go ye
through the earth and see what has been the end of those guilty (of sin)."
27:70. But grieve not
over them, nor distress thyself because of their plots.
27:71. They also say:
"When will this promise (come to pass)? (Say) if ye are truthful."
27:72. Say: "It
may be that some of the events which ye wish to hasten on may be (close) in
your pursuit!"
27:73. But verily thy
Lord is full of grace to mankind: Yet most of them are ungrateful.
27:74. And verily thy
Lord knoweth all that their hearts do hide. As well as all that they reveal.
27:75. Nor is there
aught of the unseen, in heaven or earth, but is (recorded) in a clear record.
29:17. "For ye do
worship idols besides
Allah, and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides Allah have
no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from Allah, serve Him,
and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return.
29:18. "And if ye
reject (the Message), so did generations before you: and the duty of the
apostle is only to preach publicly (and clearly)."
29:19. See they not how
Allah originates creation, then repeats it: truly that is easy for Allah.
29:20. Say:
"Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate creation; so
will Allah produce a later creation: for Allah has power over all things.
29:21. "He
punishes whom He pleases, and He grants Mercy to whom He pleases, and towards
Him are ye turned.
29:22. "Not on
earth nor in heaven will ye be able (fleeing) to frustrate (his Plan), nor have
ye, besides Allah, any protector or helper."
29:23. Those who reject
the Signs of Allah and the Meeting with Him (in the Hereafter),- it is they who
shall despair of My Mercy: it is they who will (suffer) a most grievous
Penalty.
29:24. So naught was
the answer of (Abraham's) people except that they said: "Slay him or burn
him." But Allah did save him from the Fire. Verily in this are Signs for
people who believe.
29:25. And he said:
"For you, ye have taken (for worship) idols besides Allah, out of mutual love and regard
between yourselves in this life; but on the Day of Judgment ye shall disown
each other and curse each other: and your abode will be the Fire, and ye shall
have none to help."
31:21. When they are told
to follow the (Revelation) that Allah has sent down, they say: "Nay, we
shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following). "What! even if it is Satan
beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing) Fire?
31:22. Whoever submits
his whole self to Allah, and is a doer of good, has grasped indeed the most
trustworthy hand-hold: and with Allah rests the End and Decision of (all)
affairs.
31:23. But if any
reject Faith, let not his rejection grieve thee: to Us is their return, and We
shall tell them the truth of their deeds: for Allah knows well all that is in
(men's) hearts.
31:24. We grant them
their pleasure for a little while: in the end shall We drive them to a
chastisement unrelenting.
34:43. When Our Clear
Signs are rehearsed to them, they say, "This is only a man who wishes to
hinder you from the (worship) which your fathers practised." And they say, "This is
only a falsehood invented!" and the Unbelievers say of the Truth when it
comes to them, "This is nothing but evident magic!"
34:44. But We had not
given them Books which they could study, nor sent apostles to them before thee
as Warners.
34:45. And their
predecessors rejected (the Truth); these have not received a tenth of what We
had granted to those: yet when they rejected My apostles, how (terrible) was My
rejection (of them)!
37:16. "What! when
we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)
37:17. "And also
our fathers of
old?"
37:18. Say thou:
"Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
37:19. Then it will be
a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!
37:20. They will say,
"Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
37:21. (A voice will
say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"
37:22. "Bring ye
up", it shall be said, "The wrong-doers and their wives, and the
things they worshipped-
37:23. "Besides
Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
37:24. "But stop
them, for they must be asked:
37:25. "'What is
the matter with you that ye help not each other?'"
37:26. Nay, but that
day they shall submit (to Judgment);
37:27. And they will
turn to one another, and question one another.
37:28. They will say:
"It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and
authority)!"
37:29. They will reply:
"Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith!
37:30. "Nor had we
any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate
rebellion!
37:31. "So now has
been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have
to) taste (the punishment of our sins).
37:32. "We led you
astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."
37:33. Truly, that Day,
they will (all) share in the Penalty.
37:34. Verily that is
how We shall deal with Sinners.
37:35. For they, when
they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with
Pride,
37:36. And say:
"What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"
37:37. Nay! he has come
with the (very) Truth, and he confirms (the Message of) the apostles (before
him).
37:38. Ye shall indeed
taste of the Grievous Penalty;-
37:39. But it will be
no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought;-
37:69. Truly they found
their fathers on the
wrong Path;
37:70. So they (too) were
rushed down on their footsteps!
37:71. And truly before
them, many of the ancients went astray;-
37:72. But We sent
aforetime, among them, (apostles) to admonish them;-
37:73. Then see what
was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not),-
37:74. Except the
sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah.
37:125. "Will ye
call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators,-
37:126. "(Allah),
your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
37:127. But they
rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),-
37:128. Except the
sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
43:19. And they make
into females angels who themselves serve Allah. Did they witness their
creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be called to account!
43:20.
("Ah!") they say, "If it had been the will of ((Allah)) Most
Gracious, we should not have worshipped such (deities)!" Of that they have
no knowledge! they do nothing but lie!
43:21. What! have We
given them a Book before this, to which they are holding fast?
43:22. Nay! they say:
"We found our fathers
following a certain religion, and we do guide ourselves by their
footsteps."
43:23. Just in the same
way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones
among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow
in their footsteps."
43:24. He said:
"What! Even if I brought you better guidance than that which ye found your
fathers
following?" They said: "For us, we deny that ye (prophets) are sent
(on a mission at all)."
43:25. So We exacted
retribution from them: now see what was the end of those who rejected (Truth)!
43:26. Behold! Abraham
said to his father and
his people: "I do indeed clear myself of what ye worship:
43:27. "(I
worship) only Him Who made me, and He will certainly guide me."
43:28. And he left it
as a Word to endure among those who came after him, that they may turn back (to
Allah..
44:34. As to these
(Quraish), they say forsooth:
44:35. "There is
nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
44:36. "Then bring
(back) our forefathers,
if what ye say is true!"
44:37. What! Are they
better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed
them because they were guilty of sin.
45:25. And when Our
Clear Signs are rehearsed to them their argument is nothing but this: They say,
"Bring (back) our forefathers,
if what ye say is true!"
45:26. Say: "It is
Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather you
together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt": But most
men do not understand.
45:27. To Allah belongs
the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and the Day that the Hour of
Judgment is established,- that Day will the dealers in Falsehood perish!
45:28. And thou wilt
see every sect bowing the knee: Every sect will be called to its Record:
"This Day shall ye be recompensed for all that ye did!
53:19. Have ye seen
Lat. and 'Uzza,
53:20. And another, the
third (goddess), Manat?
53:21. What! for you
the male sex, and for Him, the female?
53:22. Behold, such
would be indeed a division most unfair!
53:23. These are
nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no
authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own
souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their
Lord!
53:24. Nay, shall man
have (just) anything he hankers after?
53:25. But it is to Allah
that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.
56:47. And they used to
say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be
raised up again?-
56:48. "(We) and
our fathers of
old?"
56:49. Say: "Yea,
those of old and those of later times,
56:50. "All will
certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.
56:51. "Then will
ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!-
56:52. "Ye will
surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum.
56:53. "Then will
ye fill your insides therewith,
56:54. "And drink
Boiling Water on top of it:
56:55. "Indeed ye
shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"
56:56. Such will be
their entertainment on the Day of Requital!
56:57. It is We Who have
created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?
56:58. Do ye then see?-
The (human Seed) that ye throw out,-
56:59. Is it ye who
create it, or are We the Creators?
56:60. We have decreed
Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated
56:61. from changing
your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.
56:62. And ye certainly
know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
56:63. See ye the seed
that ye sow in the ground?
56:64. Is it ye that
cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?
56:65. Were it Our
Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,
56:66. (Saying),
"We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):
Surah 75. The Rising Of The Dead, Resurrection
1. I do call to
witness the Resurrection Day;
2. And I do call to
witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
3. Does man think
that We cannot assemble his bones?
4. Nay, We are able
to put together in perfect order the very tips of his FINGERs.
5. But man wishes
to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
6. He questions:
"When is the Day of Resurrection?"
7. At length, when
the sight is dazed,
8. And the moon is
buried in darkness.
9. And the sun and
moon are joined together,-
10. That Day will
Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
11. By no means! No
place of safety!
12. Before thy Lord
(alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
13. That Day will
Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
14. Nay, man will be
evidence against himself,
15. Even though he
were to put up his excuses.
16. Move not thy
tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
17. It is for Us to
collect it and to promulgate it:
18. But when We have
promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
19. Nay more, it is
for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
20. Nay, (ye men!)
but ye love the fleeting life,
21. And leave alone
the Hereafter.
22. Some faces, that
Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
23. Looking towards
their Lord;
24. And some faces,
that Day, will be sad and dismal,
25. In the thought
that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
26. Yea, when (the
soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
27. And there will
be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
28. And he will
conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
29. And one leg will
be joined with another:
30. That Day the
Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
31. So he gave
nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
32. But on the
contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
33. Then did he
stalk to his family in full conceit!
34. Woe to thee, (O
men!), yea, woe!
35. Again, Woe to
thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
36. Does man think
that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
37. Was he not a
drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
38. Then did he
become a leech-like clot; then did ((Allah)) make and fashion (him) in due
proportion.
39. And of him He
made two sexes, male and female.
40. Has not He, (the
same), the power to give life to the dead?
