51 | [32:9] Line:3512 |
| ||
[YA]: But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit. And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and understanding): little thanks do ye give! [RK]:He shaped him and blew into him from His spirit. And He gave you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains; rarely are you thankful. | ||||
52 | [33:16] Line:3549 |
| ||
[YA]: Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape), no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!" [RK]:Say, "If you flee, you can never flee from death or from being killed. No matter what happens, you only live a short while longer." | ||||
53 | [33:18] Line:3551 |
| ||
[YA]: Verily Allah knows those among you who keep back (men) and those who say to their brethren, "Come along to us", but come not to the fight except for just a little while. [RK]:GOD is fully aware of the hinderers among you, and those who say to their comrades, "Let us all stay behind." Rarely do they mobilize for defense. | ||||
54 | [33:20] Line:3553 |
| ||
[YA]: They think that the Confederates have not withdrawn; and if the Confederates should come (again), they would wish they were in the deserts (wandering) among the Bedouins, and seeking news about you (from a safe distance); and if they were in your midst, they would fight but little. [RK]:They thought that the parties might come back. In that case, they would wish that they were lost in the desert, asking about your news from afar. Had the parties attacked you while they were with you, they would rarely support you. | ||||
55 | [33:60] Line:3593 |
| ||
[YA]: Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition in the City, desist not, We shall certainly stir thee up against them: Then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any length of time: [RK]:Unless the hypocrites, and those with disease in their hearts, and the vicious liars of the city refrain (from persecuting you), we will surely grant you the upper hand, then they will be forced to leave within a short while. | ||||
56 | [34:13] Line:3619 |
| ||
[YA]: They worked for him as he desired, (making) arches, images, basons as large as reservoirs, and (cooking) cauldrons fixed (in their places): "Work ye, sons of David, with thanks! but few of My servants are grateful!" [RK]:They made for him anything he wanted - niches, statues, deep pools, and heavy cooking pots. O family of David, work (righteousness) to show your appreciation. Only a few of My servants are appreciative. | ||||
57 | [34:16] Line:3622 |
| ||
[YA]: But they turned away (from Allah), and We sent against them the Flood (released) from the dams, and We converted their two garden (rows) into "gardens" producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few (stunted) Lote-trees. [RK]:They turned away and, consequently, we poured upon them a disastrous flood, and we substituted their two gardens into two gardens of bad tasting fruits, thorny plants, and a skimpy harvest. | ||||
58 | [38:24] Line:3994 |
| ||
[YA]: (David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?"...and David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in repentance). [RK]:He said, "He is being unfair to you by asking to combine your sheep with his. Most people who combine their properties treat each other unfairly, except those who believe and work righteousness, and these are so few." Afterwards, David wondered if he made the right judgment. He thought that we were testing him. He then implored his Lord for forgiveness, bowed down, and repented. | ||||
59 | [39:8] Line:4066 |
| ||
[YA]: When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!" [RK]:When the human being is afflicted, he implores his Lord, sincerely devoted to Him. But as soon as He blesses him, he forgets his previous imploring, sets up idols to rank with GOD and to divert others from His path. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief temporarily; you have incurred the hellfire." | ||||
60 | [40:58] Line:4191 |
| ||
[YA]: Not equal are the blind and those who (clearly) see: Nor are (equal) those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and those who do evil. Little do ye learn by admonition! [RK]:Not equal are the blind and the seer. Nor are those who believe and work righteousness equal to the sinners. Rarely do you take heed. | ||||
61 | [44:15] Line:4429 |
| ||
[YA]: We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways). [RK]:We will relieve the retribution for awhile; you will soon revert. | ||||
62 | [48:15] Line:4598 |
| ||
[YA]: Those who lagged behind (will say), when ye (are free to) march and take booty (in war): "Permit us to follow you." They wish to change Allah's decree: Say: "Not thus will ye follow us: Allah has already declared (this) beforehand": then they will say, "But ye are jealous of us." Nay, but little do they understand (such things). [RK]:The sedentary who stay behind will say, when you are expected to collect spoils of war, "Let us follow you to share in this!" They thus wish to alter GOD's words. Say, "You will not follow us. This is GOD's decision." They will then say, "You must be envious of us (for staying behind)." Indeed, they rarely understood anything. | ||||
63 | [51:17] Line:4692 |
| ||
[YA]: They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night, [RK]:Rarely did they sleep the whole night. | ||||
64 | [53:34] Line:4818 |
| ||
[YA]: Gives a little, then hardens (his heart)? [RK]:Rarely did he give to charity, and then very little. | ||||
65 | [56:14] Line:4993 |
| ||
[YA]: And a few from those of later times. [RK]:Few from the later generations. | ||||
66 | [67:23] Line:5264 |
| ||
[YA]: Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give. [RK]:Say, "He is the One who initiated you, and granted you the hearing, the eyes, and the brains. Rarely are you appreciative." | ||||
67 | [69:41] Line:5364 |
| ||
[YA]: It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe! [RK]:Not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe. | ||||
68 | [69:42] Line:5365 |
| ||
[YA]: Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive. [RK]:Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed. | ||||
69 | [73:2] Line:5477 |
| ||
[YA]: Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,- [RK]:Meditate during the night, except rarely. | ||||
70 | [73:3] Line:5478 |
| ||
[YA]: Half of it,- or a little less, [RK]:Half of it, or a little less. | ||||
71 | [73:11] Line:5486 |
| ||
[YA]: And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while. [RK]:And let Me deal with the rejectors, who have been generously blessed; just give them a little time. | ||||
72 | [77:46] Line:5668 |
| ||
[YA]: (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners. [RK]:Eat and enjoy temporarily; you are guilty. | ||||
73 | [93:3] Line:6082 |
| ||
[YA]: Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased. [RK]:Your Lord never abandoned you, nor did He forget. | ||||
