164 | [21:8] Line:2491 |
| ||

[YA]: And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples. [RK]:As for the one who maintained her virginity, we blew into her from our spirit, and thus, we made her and her son a portent for the whole world. | ||||

| ||
[YA]: As to those who have rejected (Allah), and would keep back (men) from the Way of Allah, and from the Sacred Mosque, which We have made (open) to (all) men - equal is the dweller there and the visitor from the country - and any whose purpose therein is profanity or wrong-doing - them will We cause to taste of a most Grievous Penalty. [RK]:Surely, those who disbelieve and repulse others from the path of GOD, and from the Sacred Masjid that we designated for all the people - be they natives or visitors - and seek to pollute it and corrupt it, we will afflict them with painful retribution. | ||||
177 | [22:34] Line:2629 |
| ||
[YA]: To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice), that they might celebrate the name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food). But your god is One God: submit then your wills to Him (in Islam): and give thou the good news to those who humble themselves,- [RK]:For each congregation we have decreed rites whereby they commemorate the name of GOD for providing them with the livestock.

178 | [22:36] Line:2631 |
| ||
[YA]: The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the symbols from Allah: in them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat ye thereof, and feed such as (beg not but) live in contentment, and such as beg with due humility: thus have We made animals subject to you, that ye may be grateful. [RK]:The animal offerings are among the rites decreed by GOD for your own good. You shall mention GOD's name on them while they are standing in line. Once they are offered for sacrifice, you shall eat therefrom and feed the poor and the needy. This is why we subdued them for you, that you may show your appreciation. | ||||
179 | [22:53] Line:2648 |
| ||
[YA]: That He may make the suggestions thrown in by Satan, but a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease and who are hardened of heart: verily the wrong-doers are in a schism far (from the Truth): [RK]:He thus sets up the devil's scheme as a test for those who harbor doubts in their hearts, and those whose hearts are hardened.

181 | [22:78] Line:2673 |
| ||
[YA]: And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help! [RK]:You shall strive for the cause of GOD as you should strive for His cause. He has chosen you and has placed no hardship on you in practicing your religion - the religion of your father Abraham. He is the one who named you "Submitters" originally. Thus, the messenger shall serve as a witness among you, and you shall serve as witnesses among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and hold fast to GOD; He is your Lord, the best Lord and the best Supporter. | ||||
182 | [23:13] Line:2686 |

183 | [23:41] Line:2714 |
| ||
[YA]: Then the Blast overtook them with justice, and We made them as rubbish of dead leaves (floating on the stream of Time)! So away with the people who do wrong! [RK]:The retribution struck them, equitably, and thus, we turned them into ruins. The wicked people perished. | ||||
184 | [23:44] Line:2717 |
| ||
[YA]: Then sent We our messengers in succession: every time there came to a people their messenger, they accused him of falsehood: so We made them follow each other (in punishment): We made them as a tale (that is told): So away with a people that will not believe! [RK]:Then we sent our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger went to his community, they disbelieved him. Consequently, we annihilated them, one after the other, and made them history. The people who disbelieved have perished. | ||||
185 | [23:50] Line:2723 |
| ||
[YA]: And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a Sign: We gave them both shelter on high ground, affording rest and security and furnished with springs. [RK]:We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and we gave them refuge on a mesa with food and drink. | ||||

187 | [24:40] Line:2831 |
| ||
[YA]: Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light! [RK]:Another allegory is that of being in total darkness in the midst of a violent ocean, with waves upon waves, in addition to thick fog. Darkness upon darkness - if he looked at his own hand, he could barely see it. Whomever GOD deprives of light, will have no light. | ||||
188 | [24:43] Line:2834 |
| ||
[YA]: Seest thou not that Allah makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap? - then wilt thou see rain issue forth from their midst. And He sends down from the sky mountain masses (of clouds) wherein is hail: He strikes therewith whom He pleases and He turns it away from whom He pleases, the vivid flash of His lightning well-nigh blinds the sight. [RK]:Do you not realize that GOD drives the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them on each other, then you see the rain coming out of them? He sends down from the sky loads of snow to cover whomever He wills, while diverting it from whomever He wills. The brightness of the snow almost blinds the eyes. | ||||
189 | [24:63] Line:2854 |
| ||
[YA]: Deem not the summons of the Messenger among yourselves like the summons of one of you to another: Allah doth know those of you who slip away under shelter of some excuse: then let those beware who withstand the Messenger's order, lest some trial befall them, or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them. [RK]:Do not treat the messenger's requests as you treat each others' requests. GOD is fully aware of those among you who sneak away using flimsy excuses. Let them beware - those who disobey his orders - for a disaster may strike them, or a severe retribution. | ||||
190 | [25:10] Line:2865 |
| ||
[YA]: Blessed is He who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those,- Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee palaces (secure to dwell in). [RK]:Most blessed is the One who can, if He wills, give you much better than their demands - gardens with flowing streams, and many mansions. | ||||
191 | [25:10] Line:2865 |
| ||
[YA]: Blessed is He who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those,- Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee palaces (secure to dwell in).

192 | [25:20] Line:2875 |
| ||
[YA]: And the messengers whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? for Allah is One Who sees (all things). [RK]:We did not send any messengers before you who did not eat food and walk in the markets. We thus test you by each other; will you steadfastly persevere? Your Lord is Seer. | ||||
193 | [25:23] Line:2878 |
| ||
[YA]: And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in this life), and We shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about. [RK]:We will look at all the works they have done, and render them null and void. | ||||
194 | [25:31] Line:2886 |
| ||
[YA]: Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help. [RK]:We also set up against every prophet enemies from among the guilty. Your Lord suffices as a guide, a master. | ||||
195 | [25:35] Line:2890 |
| ||
[YA]: (Before this,) We sent Moses The Book, and appointed his brother Aaron with him as minister; [RK]:We have given Moses the scripture, and appointed his brother Aaron to be his assistant. | ||||
196 | [25:37] Line:2892 |
| ||
[YA]: And the people of Noah,- when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them as a Sign for mankind; and We have prepared for (all) wrong-doers a grievous Penalty;- [RK]:Similarly, when the people of Noah disbelieved the messengers, we drowned them, and we set them up as a sign for the people. We have prepared for the transgressors a painful retribution. | ||||
197 | [25:45] Line:2900 |
| ||
[YA]: Hast thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord?- How He doth prolong the shadow! If He willed, He could make it stationary! then do We make the sun its guide; [RK]:Have you not seen how your Lord designed the shadow? If He willed, He could have made it fixed, then we would have designed the sun accordingly. | ||||
198 | [25:45] Line:2900 |

199 | [25:47] Line:2902 |
| ||
[YA]: And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you, and Sleep as Repose, and makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection. [RK]:He is the One who designed the night to be a cover, and for you to sleep and rest. And He made the day a resurrection. | ||||
