| ||
| [YA]: How many populations have We destroyed, which were given to wrong-doing? They tumbled down on their roofs. And how many wells are lying idle and neglected, and castles lofty and well-built? [RK]:Many a community we have annihilated because of their wickedness. They ended up in ruins, stilled wells, and great empty mansions. | ||||
| 52 | [23:77] Line:2750 |
| ||
| [YA]: Until We open on them a gate leading to a severe Punishment: then Lo! they will be plunged in despair therein! [RK]:Subsequently, when we requited them with the severe retribution they had incurred, they were shocked. | ||||
| 53 | [27:21] Line:3180 |
| ||
| [YA]: "I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)." [RK]:"I will punish him severely or sacrifice him, unless he gives me a good excuse." | ||||
| 54 | [27:33] Line:3192 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "We are endued with strength, and given to vehement war: but the command is with thee; so consider what thou wilt command." [RK]:They said, "We possess the power, we possess the fighting skills, and the ultimate command is in your hand. You decide what to do." | ||||
| 55 | [28:14] Line:3266 |
| ||
| [YA]: When he reached full age, and was firmly established (in life), We bestowed on him wisdom and knowledge: for thus do We reward those who do good. [RK]:When he reached maturity and strength, we endowed him with wisdom and knowledge. We thus reward the righteous. | ||||
| 56 | [28:35] Line:3287 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "We will certainly strengthen thy arm through thy brother, and invest you both with authority, so they shall not be able to touch you: with Our Sign shall ye triumph,- you two as well as those who follow you." [RK]:He said, "We will strengthen you with your brother, and we will provide you both with manifest authority. Thus, they will not be able to touch either one of you. With our miracles, the two of you, together with those who follow you, will be the victors." | ||||
| 57 | [28:78] Line:3330 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge which I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, before him, (whole) generations,- which were superior to him in strength and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected? but the wicked are not called (immediately) to account for their sins. [RK]:He said, "I attained all this because of my own cleverness." Did he not realize that GOD had annihilated before him generations that were much stronger than he, and greater in number? The (annihilated) transgressors were not asked about their crimes. | ||||
| 58 | [30:9] Line:3418 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls. [RK]:Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They used to be more powerful, more prosperous, and more productive on earth. Their messengers went to them with clear signs. Consequently, GOD was not the One who wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls. | ||||
| 59 | [33:11] Line:3544 |
| ||
| [YA]: In that situation were the Believers tried: they were shaken as by a tremendous shaking. [RK]:That is when the believers were truly tested; they were severely shaken up. | ||||
| 60 | [34:46] Line:3652 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "I do admonish you on one point: that ye do stand up before Allah,- (It may be) in pairs, or (it may be) singly,- and reflect (within yourselves): your Companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a terrible Penalty." [RK]:Say, "I ask you to do one thing: Devote yourselves to GOD, in pairs or as individuals, then reflect. Your friend (Rashad) is not crazy. He is a manifest warner to you, just before the advent of a terrible retribution." | ||||
| 61 | [35:7] Line:3667 |
| ||
| [YA]: For those who reject Allah, is a terrible Penalty: but for those who believe and work righteous deeds, is Forgiveness, and a magnificent Reward. [RK]:Those who disbelieve have incurred a severe retribution, and those who believe and lead a righteous life have deserved forgiveness and a great recompense. | ||||
| 62 | [35:10] Line:3670 |
| ||
| [YA]: If any do seek for glory and power,- to Allah belong all glory and power. To Him mount up (all) Words of Purity: It is He Who exalts each Deed of Righteousness. Those that lay Plots of Evil,- for them is a Penalty terrible; and the plotting of such will be void (of result). [RK]:Anyone seeking dignity should know that to GOD belongs all dignity. To Him ascends the good words, and He exalts the righteous works. As for those who scheme evil works, they incur severe retribution; the scheming of such people is destined to fail. | ||||
| 63 | [35:44] Line:3704 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the End of those before them,- though they were superior to them in strength? Nor is Allah to be frustrated by anything whatever in the heavens or on earth: for He is All-Knowing. All-Powerful. [RK]:Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They were even stronger than they. Nothing can be hidden from GOD in the heavens, nor on earth. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent. | ||||
| 64 | [37:11] Line:3799 |
| ||
| [YA]: Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay! [RK]:Ask them, "Are they more difficult to create, or the other creations?" We created them from wet mud. | ||||
| 65 | [38:20] Line:3990 |
| ||
| [YA]: We strengthened his kingdom, and gave him wisdom and sound judgment in speech and decision. [RK]:We strengthened his kingship, and endowed him with wisdom and good logic. | ||||
| 66 | [38:26] Line:3996 |
| ||
| [YA]: O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account. [RK]:O David, we have made you a ruler on earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people equitably, and do not follow your personal opinion, lest it diverts you from the way of GOD. Surely, those who stray off the way of GOD incur severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning. | ||||
| 67 | [40:3] Line:4136 |
| ||
| [YA]: Who forgiveth sin, accepteth repentance, is strict in punishment, and hath a long reach (in all things). there is no god but He: to Him is the final goal. [RK]:Forgiver of sins, acceptor of repentance, strict in enforcing retribution, and possessor of all power. There is no other god beside Him. To Him is the ultimate destiny. | ||||
| 68 | [40:21] Line:4154 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were even superior to them in strength, and in the traces (they have left) in the land: but Allah did call them to account for their sins, and none had they to defend them against Allah. [RK]:Did they not roam the earth and note the consequences for those before them? They used to be stronger than they, and more productive on earth. But GOD punished them for their sins, and nothing could protect them from GOD. | ||||
| 69 | [40:22] Line:4155 |
| ||
| [YA]: That was because there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them: So Allah called them to account: for He is Full of Strength, Strict in Punishment. [RK]:That is because their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved. Consequently, GOD punished them. He is Mighty, strict in enforcing retribution. | ||||
| 70 | [40:46] Line:4179 |
| ||
| [YA]: In front of the Fire will they be brought, morning and evening: And (the sentence will be) on the Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast ye the People of Pharaoh into the severest Penalty!" [RK]:The Hell will be shown to them day and night, and on the Day of Resurrection: "Admit Pharaoh's people into the worst retribution." | ||||
| 71 | [40:67] Line:4200 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a Term appointed; in order that ye may learn wisdom. [RK]:He is the One who created you from dust, and subsequently from a tiny drop, then from a hanging embryo, then He brings you out as a child, then He lets you reach maturity, then you become old - some of you die earlier. You attain a predetermined age, that you may understand. | ||||
| 72 | [40:82] Line:4215 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them. [RK]:Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They used to be greater in number, greater in power, and possessed a greater legacy on earth. Yet, all their achievements did not help them in the least. | ||||
| 73 | [41:15] Line:4233 |
| ||
| [YA]: Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs! [RK]:As for `Aad, they turned arrogant on earth, opposed the truth, and said, "Who is more powerful than we?" Did they not realize that GOD, who created them, is more powerful than they? They were unappreciative of our revelations. | ||||
| 74 | [41:15] Line:4233 |
| ||
| [YA]: Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs! [RK]:As for `Aad, they turned arrogant on earth, opposed the truth, and said, "Who is more powerful than we?" Did they not realize that GOD, who created them, is more powerful than they? They were unappreciative of our revelations. | ||||
| 75 | [41:27] Line:4245 |
| ||
| [YA]: But We will certainly give the Unbelievers a taste of a severe Penalty, and We will requite them for the worst of their deeds. [RK]:We will certainly afflict these disbelievers with a severe retribution. We will certainly requite them for their evil works. | ||||
| 76 | [42:16] Line:4288 |
| ||
| [YA]: But those who dispute concerning Allah after He has been accepted,- futile is their dispute in the Sight of their Lord: on them will be a Penalty terrible. [RK]:Those who argue about GOD, after receiving His message, their argument is nullified at their Lord. They have incurred condemnation, and have deserved a severe retribution. | ||||
| 77 | [42:26] Line:4298 |
| ||
| [YA]: And He listens to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, and gives them increase of His Bounty: but for the Unbelievers their is a terrible Penalty. [RK]:Responding to Him are those who believe and lead a righteous life. He will shower them with His blessings. As for the disbelievers, they have incurred a severe retribution. | ||||
| 78 | [43:8] Line:4333 |
| ||
| [YA]: So We destroyed (them)- stronger in power than these;- and (thus) has passed on the Parable of the peoples of old. [RK]:Consequently, we annihilated people who were even more powerful than these. We thus set the examples from the previous communities. | ||||
| 79 | [46:15] Line:4525 |
| ||
| [YA]: We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam." [RK]:We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him arduously, gave birth to him arduously, and took intimate care of him for thirty months. When he reaches maturity, and reaches the age of forty, he should say, "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Let my children be righteous as well. I have repented to You; I am a submitter." | ||||
| 80 | [47:4] Line:4549 |
| ||
| [YA]: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost. [RK]:If you encounter (in war) those who disbelieve, you may strike the necks. If you take them as captives you may set them free or ransom them, until the war ends. Had GOD willed, He could have granted you victory, without war. But He thus tests you by one another. As for those who get killed in the cause of GOD, He will never put their sacrifice to waste. | ||||
| 81 | [47:13] Line:4558 |
| ||
| [YA]: And how many cities, with more power than thy city which has driven thee out, have We destroyed (for their sins)? and there was none to aid them. [RK]:Many a community was much stronger than the community that evicted you from your town; when we annihilated them, no one could help them. | ||||
| 82 | [48:16] Line:4599 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say to the desert Arabs who lagged behind: "Ye shall be summoned (to fight) against a people given to vehement war: then shall ye fight, or they shall submit. Then if ye show obedience, Allah will grant you a goodly reward, but if ye turn back as ye did before, He will punish you with a grievous Penalty." [RK]:Say to the sedentary Arabs who stay behind, "You will be invited to face powerful people and to fight them, unless they submit. If you obey, GOD will reward you with a generous recompense. But if you turn away again, as you did in the past, He will requite you with a painful retribution." | ||||
| 83 | [48:29] Line:4612 |
| ||
| [YA]: Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward. [RK]:Muhammad - the messenger of GOD - and those with him are harsh and stern against the disbelievers, but kind and compassionate amongst themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, as they seek GOD's blessings and approval. Their marks are on their faces, because of prostrating. This is the same example as in the Torah. Their example in the Gospel is like plants that grow taller and stronger, and please the farmers. He thus enrages the disbelievers. GOD promises those among them who believe, and lead a righteous life, forgiveness and a great recompense. | ||||
| 84 | [50:26] Line:4656 |
| ||
| [YA]: "Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe penalty." [RK]:He set up beside GOD another god. Throw him into severe retribution. | ||||
| 85 | [50:36] Line:4666 |
| ||
| [YA]: But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins),- stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)? [RK]:Many a generation before them, who were more powerful, we annihilated. They searched the land; did they find an escape? | ||||
| 86 | [53:5] Line:4789 |
| ||
| [YA]: He was taught by one Mighty in Power, [RK]:Dictated by the Most Powerful. | ||||
| 87 | [57:20] Line:5095 |
| ||
| [YA]: Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception? [RK]:Know that this worldly life is no more than play and games, and boasting among you, and hoarding of money and children. It is like abundant rain that produces plants and pleases the disbelievers. But then the plants turn into useless hay, and are blown away by the wind. In the Hereafter there is either severe retribution, or forgiveness from GOD and approval. This worldly life is no more than a temporary illusion. | ||||
| 88 | [57:25] Line:5100 |
| ||
| [YA]: We sent aforetime our messengers with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help, Unseen, Him and His messengers: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might (and able to enforce His Will). [RK]:We sent our messengers supported by clear proofs, and we sent down to them the scripture and the law, that the people may uphold justice. And we sent down the iron, wherein there is strength, and many benefits for the people. All this in order for GOD to distinguish those who would support Him and His messengers, on faith. GOD is Powerful, Almighty. | ||||
| 89 | [58:15] Line:5119 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah has prepared for them a severe Penalty: evil indeed are their deeds. [RK]:GOD has prepared for them a severe retribution. Miserable indeed is what they used to do. | ||||
| 90 | [59:4] Line:5130 |
| ||
| [YA]: That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger: and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment. [RK]:This is because they opposed GOD and His messenger. For those who oppose GOD and His messenger, GOD is most strict in enforcing retribution. | ||||
| 91 | [59:7] Line:5133 |
| ||
| [YA]: What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships,- belongs to Allah,- to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (merely) make a circuit between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah; for Allah is strict in Punishment. [RK]:Whatever GOD restored to His messenger from the (defeated) communities shall go to GOD and His messenger (in the form of a charity). You shall give it to the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the traveling alien. Thus, it will not remain monopolized by the strong among you. You may keep the spoils given to you by the messenger, but do not take what he enjoins you from taking. You shall reverence GOD. GOD is strict in enforcing retribution. | ||||
| 92 | [59:13] Line:5139 |
| ||
| [YA]: Of a truth ye are stronger (than they) because of the terror in their hearts, (sent) by Allah. This is because they are men devoid of understanding. [RK]:Indeed, you strike more terror in their hearts than their fear of GOD. This is because they are people who do not comprehend. | ||||
| 93 | [59:14] Line:5140 |
| ||
| [YA]: They will not fight you (even) together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Strong is their fighting (spirit) amongst themselves: thou wouldst think they were united, but their hearts are divided: that is because they are a people devoid of wisdom. [RK]:They do not get together to fight you unless they are in well-shielded buildings, or behind walls. Their might appears formidable among themselves. You would think that they are united, when in fact their hearts are divided. This is because they are people who do not understand. | ||||
| 94 | [65:8] Line:5225 |
| ||
| [YA]: How many populations that insolently opposed the Command of their Lord and of His messengers, did We not then call to account,- to severe account?- and We imposed on them an exemplary Punishment. [RK]:Many a community rebelled against the commands of its Lord and against His messengers. Consequently, we held them strictly accountable, and requited them a terrible requital. | ||||
| 95 | [65:10] Line:5227 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah has prepared for them a severe Punishment (in the Hereafter). Therefore fear Allah, O ye men of understanding - who have believed!- for Allah hath indeed sent down to you a Message,- [RK]:GOD has prepared for them severe retribution. Therefore, you shall reverence GOD, O you who possess intelligence and believed. GOD has sent down to you a message - | ||||
| 96 | [66:6] Line:5235 |
| ||
| [YA]: O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded. [RK]:O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from the Hellfire whose fuel is people and rocks. Guarding it are stern and powerful angels who never disobey GOD; they do whatever they are commanded to do. | ||||
| 97 | [72:8] Line:5455 |
| ||
| [YA]: 'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires. [RK]:" `We touched the heaven and found it filled with formidable guards and projectiles. | ||||
| 98 | [73:6] Line:5481 |
| ||
| [YA]: Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise). [RK]:The meditation at night is more effective, and more righteous. | ||||
| 99 | [76:28] Line:5619 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change. [RK]:We created them, and established them, and, whenever we will, we can substitute others in their place. | ||||
| 100 | [78:12] Line:5684 |
| ||
| [YA]: And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, [RK]:We built above you seven universes. | ||||
