| [YA]: Say: "If ye had control of the Treasures of the Mercy of my Lord, behold, ye would keep them back, for fear of spending them: for man is (every) niggardly!" [RK]:Proclaim, "If you possessed my Lord's treasures of mercy, you would have withheld them, fearing that you might exhaust them. The human being is stingy." | ||||
| 852 | [17:101] Line:2130 |
| ||
| [YA]: To Moses We did give Nine Clear Signs: As the Children of Israel: when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him: "O Moses! I consider thee, indeed, to have been worked upon by sorcery! [RK]:We supported Moses with nine profound miracles - ask the Children of Israel. When he went to them, Pharaoh said to him, "I think that you, Moses, are bewitched." | ||||
| 853 | [17:102] Line:2131 |
| ||
| [YA]: Moses said, "Thou knowest well that these things have been sent down by none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth as eye-opening evidence: and I consider thee indeed, O Pharaoh, to be one doomed to destruction!" [RK]:He said, "You know full well that no one can manifest these except, obviously, the Lord of the heavens and the earth. I think that you, Pharaoh, are doomed." | ||||
| 854 | [17:104] Line:2133 |
| ||
| [YA]: And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell securely in the land (of promise)": but when the second of the warnings came to pass, We gathered you together in a mingled crowd. [RK]:And we said to the Children of Israel afterwards, "Go live into this land. When the final prophecy comes to pass, we will summon you all in one group." | ||||
| 855 | [17:107] Line:2136 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Whether ye believe in it or not, it is true that those who were given knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration, [RK]:Proclaim, "Believe in it, or do not believe in it." Those who possess knowledge from the previous scriptures, when it is recited to them, they fall down to their chins, prostrating. | ||||
| 856 | [17:108] Line:2137 |
| ||
| [YA]: "And they say: 'Glory to our Lord! Truly has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled!'" [RK]:They say, "Glory be to our Lord. This fulfills our Lord's prophecy." | ||||
| 857 | [17:110] Line:2139 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between." [RK]:Say, "Call Him GOD, or call Him the Most Gracious; whichever name you use, to Him belongs the best names." You shall not utter your Contact Prayers (Salat) too loudly, nor secretly; use a moderate tone. | ||||
| 858 | [17:111] Line:2140 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Praise be to Allah, who begets no son, and has no partner in (His) dominion: Nor (needs) He any to protect Him from humiliation: yea, magnify Him for His greatness and glory!" [RK]:And proclaim: "Praise be to GOD, who has never begotten a son, nor does He have a partner in His kingship, nor does He need any ally out of weakness," and magnify Him constantly. | ||||
| 859 | [18:4] Line:2144 |
| ||
| [YA]: Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, "Allah hath begotten a son": [RK]:And to warn those who said, "GOD has begotten a son!" | ||||
| 860 | [18:5] Line:2145 |
| ||
| [YA]: 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! [RK]:They possess no knowledge about this, nor did their parents. What a blasphemy coming out of their mouths! What they utter is a gross lie. | ||||
| 861 | [18:10] Line:2150 |
| ||
| [YA]: Behold, the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, "Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!" [RK]:When the youths took refuge in the cave, they said, "Our Lord, shower us with Your mercy, and bless our affairs with Your guidance." | ||||
| 862 | [18:14] Line:2154 |
| ||
| [YA]: We gave strength to their hearts: Behold, they stood up and said: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and of the earth: never shall we call upon any god other than Him: if we did, we should indeed have uttered an enormity! [RK]:We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and proclaimed: "Our only Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We will never worship any other god beside Him. Otherwise, we would be far astray. | ||||

| [YA]: Such (being their state), we raised them up (from sleep), that they might question each other. Said one of them, "How long have ye stayed (here)?" They said, "We have stayed (perhaps) a day, or part of a day." (At length) they (all) said, "Allah (alone) knows best how long ye have stayed here.... Now send ye then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food (to be had) and bring some to you, that (ye may) satisfy your hunger therewith: And let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform any one about you. [RK]:When we resurrected them, they asked each other, "How long have you been here?" "We have been here one day or part of the day," they answered. "Your Lord knows best how long we stayed here, so let us send one of us with this money to the city. Let him fetch the cleanest food, and buy some for us. Let him keep a low profile, and attract no attention. | ||||

| [YA]: Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them." [RK]:We caused them to be discovered, to let everyone know that GOD's promise is true, and to remove all doubt concerning the end of the world. The people then disputed among themselves regarding them. Some said, "Let us build a building around them." Their Lord is the best knower about them. Those who prevailed said, "We will build a place of worship around them." | ||||

| [YA]: (Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown; (yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their (real case)." Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers. [RK]:Some would say, "They were three; their dog being the fourth," while others would say, "Five; the sixth being their dog," as they guessed. Others said, "Seven," and the eighth was their dog. Say, "My Lord is the best knower of their number." Only a few knew the correct number. Therefore, do not argue with them; just go along with them. You need not consult anyone about this. | ||||

| [YA]: Nor say of anything, "I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow"- [RK]:You shall not say that you will do anything in the future, | ||||
| 875 | [18:24] Line:2164 |
| ||
| [YA]: Without adding, "So please Allah!" and call thy Lord to mind when thou forgettest, and say, "I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer (even) than this to the right road." [RK]:without saying, "GOD willing." If you forget to do this, you must immediately remember your Lord and say, "May my Lord guide me to do better next time." | ||||
| 876 | [18:26] Line:2166 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Allah knows best how long they stayed: with Him is (the knowledge of) the secrets of the heavens and the earth: how clearly He sees, how finely He hears (everything)! They have no protector other than Him; nor does He share His Command with any person whatsoever. [RK]:Say, "GOD is the best knower of how long they stayed there." He knows all secrets in the heavens and the earth. By His grace you can see; by His grace you can hear. There is none beside Him as Lord and Master, and He never permits any partners to share in His kingship. | ||||
| 877 | [18:29] Line:2169 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on! [RK]:Proclaim: "This is the truth from your Lord," then whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him disbelieve. We have prepared for the transgressors a fire that will completely surround them. When they scream for help, they will be given a liquid like concentrated acid that scalds the faces. What a miserable drink! What a miserable destiny! | ||||
| 878 | [18:34] Line:2174 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Abundant) was the produce this man had : he said to his companion, in the course of a mutual argument: "more wealth have I than you, and more honour and power in (my following of) men." [RK]:Once, after harvesting, he boastfully told his friend: "I am far more prosperous than you, and I command more respect from the people." | ||||
| 879 | [18:35] Line:2175 |
| ||
| [YA]: He went into his garden in a state (of mind) unjust to his soul: He said, "I deem not that this will ever perish, [RK]:When he entered his garden, he wronged his soul by saying, "I do not think that this will ever end. | ||||
| 880 | [18:37] Line:2177 |
| ||
| [YA]: His companion said to him, in the course of the argument with him: "Dost thou deny Him Who created thee out of dust, then out of a sperm-drop, then fashioned thee into a man? [RK]:His friend said to him, as he debated with him, "Have you disbelieved in the One who created you from dust, then from a tiny drop, then perfected you into a man? | ||||
| 881 | [18:39] Line:2179 |
| ||
| [YA]: "Why didst thou not, as thou wentest into thy garden, say: 'Allah's will (be done)! There is no power but with Allah!' If thou dost see me less than thee in wealth and sons, [RK]:"When you entered your garden, you should have said, `This is what GOD has given me (Maa Shaa Allah). No one possesses power except GOD (La Quwwata Ellaa Bellaah).' You may see that I possess less money and less children than you. | ||||
| 882 | [18:39] Line:2179 |

| 883 | [18:42] Line:2182 |
| ||
| [YA]: So his fruits (and enjoyment) were encompassed (with ruin), and he remained twisting and turning his hands over what he had spent on his property, which had (now) tumbled to pieces to its very foundations, and he could only say, "Woe is me! Would I had never ascribed partners to my Lord and Cherisher!" [RK]:Indeed, his crops were wiped out, and he ended up sorrowful, lamenting what he had spent on it in vain, as his property lay barren. He finally said, "I wish I never set up my property as a god beside my Lord." | ||||
| 884 | [18:49] Line:2189 |
| ||
| [YA]: And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, "Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof!" They will find all that they did, placed before them: And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice. [RK]:The record will be shown, and you will see the guilty fearful of its contents. They will say, "Woe to us. How come this book leaves nothing, small or large, without counting it?" They will find everything they had done brought forth. Your Lord is never unjust towards anyone. | ||||
| 885 | [18:50] Line:2190 |
| ||
| [YA]: Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers! [RK]:We said to the angels, "Fall prostrate before Adam." They fell prostrate, except Satan. He became a jinn, for he disobeyed the order of His Lord. Will you choose him and his descendants as lords instead of Me, even though they are your enemies? What a miserable substitute! | ||||
| 886 | [18:52] Line:2192 |
| ||
| [YA]: One Day He will say, "Call on those whom ye thought to be My partners," and they will call on them, but they will not listen to them; and We shall make for them a place of common perdition. [RK]:The day will come when He says, "Call upon My partners, whom you claimed to be gods beside Me," they will call on them, but they will not respond to them. An insurmountable barrier will separate them from each other. | ||||
| 887 | [18:60] Line:2200 |
| ||
| [YA]: Behold, Moses said to his attendant, "I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two seas or (until) I spend years and years in travel." [RK]:Moses said to his servant, "I will not rest until I reach the point where the two rivers meet, no matter how long it takes." | ||||
| 888 | [18:62] Line:2202 |
| ||
| [YA]: When they had passed on (some distance), Moses said to his attendant: "Bring us our early meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue at this (stage of) our journey." [RK]:After they passed that point, he said to his servant, "Let us have lunch. All this traveling has thoroughly exhausted us." | ||||
| 889 | [18:63] Line:2203 |
| ||
| [YA]: He replied: "Sawest thou (what happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget (about) the Fish: none but Satan made me forget to tell (you) about it: it took its course through the sea in a marvellous way!" [RK]:He said, "Remember when we sat by the rock back there? I paid no attention to the fish. It was the devil who made me forget it, and it found its way back to the river, strangely." | ||||
| 890 | [18:64] Line:2204 |
| ||
| [YA]: Moses said: "That was what we were seeking after:" So they went back on their footsteps, following (the path they had come). [RK]:(Moses) said, "That was the place we were looking for." They traced their steps back. | ||||
| 891 | [18:66] Line:2206 |
| ||
| [YA]: Moses said to him: "May I follow thee, on the footing that thou teach me something of the (Higher) Truth which thou hast been taught?" [RK]:Moses said to him, "Can I follow you, that you may teach me some of the knowledge and the guidance bestowed upon you?" | ||||
| 892 | [18:67] Line:2207 |
| ||
| [YA]: (The other) said: "Verily thou wilt not be able to have patience with me!" [RK]:He said, "You cannot stand to be with me. | ||||
| 893 | [18:69] Line:2209 |
| ||
| [YA]: Moses said: "Thou wilt find me, if Allah so will, (truly) patient: nor shall I disobey thee in aught." [RK]:He said, "You will find me, GOD willing, patient. I will not disobey any command you give me." | ||||
| 894 | [18:70] Line:2210 |
| ||
| [YA]: The other said: "If then thou wouldst follow me, ask me no questions about anything until I myself speak to thee concerning it." [RK]:He said, "If you follow me, then you shall not ask me about anything, unless I choose to tell you about it." | ||||
| 895 | [18:71] Line:2211 |
| ||
| [YA]: So they both proceeded: until, when they were in the boat, he scuttled it. Said Moses: "Hast thou scuttled it in order to drown those in it? Truly a strange thing hast thou done!" [RK]:So they went. When they boarded a ship, he bore a hole in it. He said, "Did you bore a hole in it to drown its people? You have committed something terrible." | ||||
| 896 | [18:72] Line:2212 |
| ||
| [YA]: He answered: "Did I not tell thee that thou canst have no patience with me?" [RK]:He said, "Did I not say that you cannot stand to be with me?" | ||||
| 897 | [18:72] Line:2212 |
| ||
| [YA]: He answered: "Did I not tell thee that thou canst have no patience with me?" [RK]:He said, "Did I not say that you cannot stand to be with me?" | ||||
| 898 | [18:73] Line:2213 |
| ||
| [YA]: Moses said: "Rebuke me not for forgetting, nor grieve me by raising difficulties in my case." [RK]:He said, "I am sorry. Do not punish me for my forgetfulness; do not be too harsh with me." | ||||
| 899 | [18:74] Line:2214 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then they proceeded: until, when they met a young man, he slew him. Moses said: "Hast thou slain an innocent person who had slain none? Truly a foul (unheard of) thing hast thou done!" [RK]:So they went. When they met a young boy, he killed him. He said, "Why did you kill such an innocent person, who did not kill another person? You have committed something horrendous." | ||||
| 900 | [18:75] Line:2215 |
| ||
| [YA]: He answered: "Did I not tell thee that thou canst have no patience with me?" [RK]:He said, "Did I not tell you that you cannot stand to be with me?" | ||||
