| [YA]: Or lest ye should say: "If the Book had only been sent down to us, we should have followed its guidance better than they." Now then hath come unto you a clear (sign) from your Lord,- and a guide and a mercy: then who could do more wrong than one who rejecteth Allah's signs, and turneth away therefrom? In good time shall We requite those who turn away from Our signs, with a dreadful penalty, for their turning away. [RK]:Nor can you say, "If only a scripture could come down to us, we would be better guided than they." A proven scripture has now come to you from your Lord, and a beacon, and a mercy. Now, who is more evil than one who rejects these proofs from GOD, and disregards them? We will commit those who disregard our proofs to the worst retribution for their heedlessness. | ||||
| 402 | [6:158] Line:947 |
| ||
| [YA]: Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or certain of the signs of thy Lord! the day that certain of the signs of thy Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith. Say: "Wait ye: we too are waiting." [RK]:Are they waiting for the angels to come to them, or your Lord, or some physical manifestations of your Lord? The day this happens, no soul will benefit from believing if it did not believe before that, and did not reap the benefits of belief by leading a righteous life. Say, "Keep on waiting; we too are waiting." | ||||
| 403 | [6:161] Line:950 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah." [RK]:Say, "My Lord has guided me in a straight path - the perfect religion of Abraham, monotheism. He never was an idol worshiper." | ||||
| 404 | [6:162] Line:951 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds: [RK]:Say, "My Contact Prayers (Salat), my worship practices, my life and my death, are all devoted absolutely to GOD alone, the Lord of the universe. | ||||
| 405 | [6:164] Line:953 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than Allah, when He is the Cherisher of all things (that exist)? Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is towards Allah: He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed." [RK]:Say, "Shall I seek other than GOD as a lord, when He is the Lord of all things? No soul benefits except from its own works, and none bears the burden of another. Ultimately, you return to your Lord, then He informs you regarding all your disputes." | ||||
| 406 | [7:4] Line:958 |
| ||
| [YA]: How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)? Our punishment took them on a sudden by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest. [RK]:Many a community we annihilated; they incurred our retribution while they were asleep, or wide awake. | ||||
| 407 | [7:5] Line:959 |
| ||
| [YA]: When (thus) Our punishment took them, no cry did they utter but this: "Indeed we did wrong." [RK]:Their utterance when our retribution came to them was: "Indeed, we have been transgressors." | ||||
| 408 | [7:11] Line:965 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels prostrate to Adam, and they prostrate; not so Iblis; He refused to be of those who prostrate. [RK]:We created you, then we shaped you, then we said to the angels, "Fall prostrate before Adam." They fell prostrate, except Iblees (Satan); he was not with the prostrators. | ||||
| 409 | [7:12] Line:966 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Allah) said: "What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay." [RK]:He said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I ordered you?" He said, "I am better than he; You created me from fire, and created him from mud." | ||||
| 410 | [7:12] Line:966 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Allah) said: "What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay." [RK]:He said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I ordered you?" He said, "I am better than he; You created me from fire, and created him from mud." | ||||
| 411 | [7:13] Line:967 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)." [RK]:He said, "Therefore, you must go down, for you are not to be arrogant here. Get out; you are debased." | ||||
| 412 | [7:14] Line:968 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "Give me respite till the day they are raised up." [RK]:He said, "Grant me a respite, until the Day of Resurrection." | ||||
| 413 | [7:15] Line:969 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Allah) said: "Be thou among those who have respite." [RK]:He said, "You are granted a respite." | ||||
| 414 | [7:16] Line:970 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "Because thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on thy straight way: [RK]:He said, "Since You have willed that I go astray, I will skulk for them on Your straight path. | ||||
| 415 | [7:18] Line:972 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Allah) said: "Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee,- Hell will I fill with you all. [RK]:He said, "Get out therefrom, despised and defeated. Those among them who follow you, I will fill Hell with you all. | ||||
| 416 | [7:20] Line:974 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said: "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever." [RK]:The devil whispered to them, in order to reveal their bodies, which were invisible to them. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you from this tree, except to prevent you from becoming angels, and from attaining eternal existence." | ||||
| 417 | [7:22] Line:976 |
| ||
| [YA]: So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy unto you?" [RK]:He thus duped them with lies. As soon as they tasted the tree, their bodies became visible to them, and they tried to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise. Their Lord called upon them: "Did I not enjoin you from that tree, and warn you that the devil is your most ardent enemy?" | ||||
| 418 | [7:23] Line:977 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: If thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost." [RK]:They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged our souls, and unless You forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be losers." | ||||
| 419 | [7:24] Line:978 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Allah) said: "Get ye down. With enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood,- for a time." [RK]:He said, "Go down as enemies of one another. On earth shall be your habitation and provision for awhile." | ||||
| 420 | [7:25] Line:979 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "Therein shall ye live, and therein shall ye die; but from it shall ye be taken out (at last)." [RK]:He said, "On it you will live, on it you will die, and from it you will be brought out." | ||||
| 421 | [7:28] Line:982 |
| ||
| [YA]: 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?" [RK]:They commit a gross sin, then say, "We found our parents doing this, and GOD has commanded us to do it." Say, "GOD never advocates sin. Are you saying about GOD what you do not know?" | ||||

| 424 | [7:29] Line:983 |
| ||
| [YA]: 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." [RK]:Say, "My Lord advocates justice, and to stand devoted to Him alone at every place of worship. You shall devote your worship absolutely to Him alone. Just as He initiated you, you will ultimately go back to Him." | ||||
| 425 | [7:32] Line:986 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of Allah, which He hath produced for His servants, and the things, clean and pure, (which He hath provided) for sustenance? Say: They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely for them on the Day of Judgment. Thus do We explain the signs in detail for those who understand. [RK]:Say, "Who prohibited the nice things GOD has created for His creatures, and the good provisions?" Say, "Such provisions are to be enjoyed in this life by those who believe. Moreover, the good provisions will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection." We thus explain the revelations for people who know. | ||||

| 427 | [7:33] Line:987 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge. [RK]:Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside GOD powerless idols, and to say about GOD what you do not know." | ||||

| 429 | [7:37] Line:991 |
| ||
| [YA]: Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Signs? For such, their portion appointed must reach them from the Book (of decrees): until, when our messengers (of death) arrive and take their souls, they say: "Where are the things that ye used to invoke besides Allah?" They will reply, "They have left us in the lurch," And they will bear witness against themselves, that they had rejected Allah. [RK]:Who is more evil than those who invent lies about GOD, or reject His revelations? These will get their share, in accordance with the scripture, then, when our messengers come to terminate their lives, they will say, "Where are the idols you used to implore beside GOD?" They will say, "They have abandoned us." They will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. | ||||

| [YA]: He will say: "Enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you - men and jinns, - into the Fire." Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister-people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the Fire. Saith the last about the first: "Our Lord! it is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the Fire." He will say: "Doubled for all" : but this ye do not understand. [RK]:He will say, "Enter with the previous communities of jinns and humans into Hell." Every time a group enters, they will curse their ancestral group. Once they are all in it, the latest one will say of the previous one, "Our Lord, these are the ones who misled us. Give them double the retribution of Hell." He will say, "Each receives double, but you do not know." | ||||

| 434 | [7:39] Line:993 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then the first will say to the last: "See then! No advantage have ye over us; so taste ye of the penalty for all that ye did !" [RK]:The ancestral group will say to the later group, "Since you had an advantage over us, taste the retribution for your own sins." | ||||
| 435 | [7:43] Line:997 |
| ||
| [YA]: And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury;- beneath them will be rivers flowing;- and they shall say: "Praise be to Allah, who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the truth, that the messengers of our Lord brought unto us." And they shall hear the cry: "Behold! the garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors, for your deeds (of righteousness)." [RK]:We will remove all jealousy from their hearts. Rivers will flow beneath them, and they will say, "GOD be praised for guiding us. We could not possibly be guided, if it were not that GOD has guided us. The messengers of our Lord did bring the truth." They will be called: "This is your Paradise. You have inherited it, in return for your works." | ||||
| 436 | [7:44] Line:998 |
| ||
| [YA]: The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire: "We have indeed found the promises of our Lord to us true: Have you also found Your Lord's promises true?" They shall say, "Yes"; but a crier shall proclaim between them: "The curse of Allah is on the wrong-doers;- [RK]:The dwellers of Paradise will call the dwellers of Hell: "We have found our Lord's promise to be the truth; have you found your Lord's promise to be the truth?" They will say, "Yes." An announcer between them will announce: "GOD's condemnation has befallen the transgressors; | ||||
| 437 | [7:47] Line:1001 |
| ||
| [YA]: When their eyes shall be turned towards the Companions of the Fire, they will say: "Our Lord! send us not to the company of the wrong-doers." [RK]:When they turn their eyes towards the dwellers of Hell, they will say, "Our Lord, do not put us with these wicked people." | ||||
| 438 | [7:48] Line:1002 |
| ||
| [YA]: The men on the heights will call to certain men whom they will know from their marks, saying: "Of what profit to you were your hoards and your arrogant ways? [RK]:The dwellers of the Purgatory will call on people they recognize by their looks, saying, "Your great numbers did not avail you in any way, nor did your arrogance. | ||||
| 439 | [7:50] Line:1004 |
| ||
| [YA]: The Companions of the Fire will call to the Companions of the Garden: "Pour down to us water or anything that Allah doth provide for your sustenance." They will say: "Both these things hath Allah forbidden to those who rejected Him." [RK]:The dwellers of Hell will call on the dwellers of Paradise: "Let some of your water, or some of GOD's provisions to you flow towards us." They will say, "GOD has forbidden them for the disbelievers." | ||||
| 440 | [7:53] Line:1007 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do they just wait for the final fulfilment of the event? On the day the event is finally fulfilled, those who disregarded it before will say: "The messengers of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). Have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back? then should we behave differently from our behaviour in the past." In fact they will have lost their souls, and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch. [RK]:Are they waiting until all (prophecies) are fulfilled? The day such fulfillment comes to pass, those who disregarded it in the past will say, "The messengers of our Lord have brought the truth. Are there any intercessors to intercede on our behalf? Would you send us back, so that we change our behavior, and do better works than what we did?" They have lost their souls, and their own innovations have caused their doom. | ||||
| 441 | [7:59] Line:1013 |
| ||
| [YA]: We sent Noah to his people. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful day! [RK]:We sent Noah to his people, saying, "O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. I fear for you the retribution of an awesome day." | ||||
| 442 | [7:60] Line:1014 |
| ||
| [YA]: The leaders of his people said: "Ah! we see thee evidently wandering (in mind)." [RK]:The leaders among his people said, "We see that you are far astray." | ||||
| 443 | [7:61] Line:1015 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "O my people! No wandering is there in my (mind): on the contrary I am a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds! [RK]:He said, "O my people, I am not astray; I am a messenger from the Lord of the universe. | ||||
| 444 | [7:65] Line:1019 |
| ||
| [YA]: To the 'Ad people, (We sent) Hud, one of their (own) brethren: He said: O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him will ye not fear (Allah)?" [RK]:To `Aad we sent their brother Hood. He said, "O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. Would you then observe righteousness?" | ||||
| 445 | [7:66] Line:1020 |
| ||
| [YA]: The leaders of the Unbelievers among his people said: "Ah! we see thou art an imbecile!" and "We think thou art a liar!" [RK]:The leaders who disbelieved among his people said, "We see that you are behaving foolishly, and we think that you are a liar." | ||||
| 446 | [7:67] Line:1021 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "O my people! I am no imbecile, but (I am) a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds! [RK]:He said, "O my people, there is no foolishness in me; I am a messenger from the Lord of the universe. | ||||
| 447 | [7:70] Line:1024 |
| ||
| [YA]: 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!" [RK]:They said, "Did you come to make us worship GOD alone, and abandon what our parents used to worship? We challenge you to bring the doom you threaten us with, if you are truthful." | ||||
| 448 | [7:71] Line:1025 |
| ||
| [YA]: 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." [RK]:He said, "You have incurred condemnation and wrath from your Lord. Do you argue with me in defense of innovations you have fabricated - you and your parents - which were never authorized by GOD? Therefore, wait and I will wait along with you." | ||||
| 449 | [7:73] Line:1027 |
| ||
| [YA]: To the Thamud people (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren: He said: "O my people! worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (Sign) from your Lord! This she-camel of Allah is a Sign unto you: So leave her to graze in Allah's earth, and let her come to no harm, or ye shall be seized with a grievous punishment. [RK]:To Thamoud we sent their brother Saaleh. He said, "O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. Proof has been provided for you from your Lord: here is GOD's camel, to serve as a sign for you. Let her eat from GOD's land, and do not touch her with any harm, lest you incur a painful retribution. | ||||
| 450 | [7:75] Line:1029 |
| ||
| [YA]: The leaders of the arrogant party among his people said to those who were reckoned powerless - those among them who believed: "know ye indeed that Salih is a messenger from his Lord?" They said: "We do indeed believe in the revelation which hath been sent through him." [RK]:The arrogant leaders among his people said to the common people who believed, "How do you know that Saaleh is sent by his Lord?" They said, "The message he brought has made us believers." | ||||
