| [YA]: He said: "It was she that sought to seduce me - from my (true) self." And one of her household saw (this) and bore witness, (thus):- "If it be that his shirt is rent from the front, then is her tale true, and he is a liar! [RK]:He said, "She is the one who tried to seduce me." A witness from her family suggested: "If his garment is torn from the front, then she is telling the truth and he is a liar. | ||||
| 152 | [12:30] Line:1626 |
| ||
| [YA]: Ladies said in the City: "The wife of the (great) 'Aziz is seeking to seduce her slave from his (true) self: Truly hath he inspired her with violent love: we see she is evidently going astray." [RK]:Some women in the city gossiped: "The governor's wife is trying to seduce her servant. She is deeply in love with him. We see that she has gone astray." | ||||
| 153 | [12:32] Line:1628 |
| ||
| [YA]: She said: "There before you is the man about whom ye did blame me! I did seek to seduce him from his (true) self but he did firmly save himself guiltless!....and now, if he doth not my bidding, he shall certainly be cast into prison, and (what is more) be of the company of the vilest!" [RK]:She said, "This is the one you blamed me for falling in love with. I did indeed try to seduce him, and he refused. Unless he does what I command him to do, he will surely go to prison, and will be debased." | ||||
| 154 | [12:51] Line:1647 |
| ||
| [YA]: (The king) said (to the ladies): "What was your affair when ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "Allah preserve us! no evil know we against him!" Said the 'Aziz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (to all): it was I who sought to seduce him from his (true) self: He is indeed of those who are (ever) true (and virtuous). [RK]:(The king) said (to the women), "What do you know about the incident when you tried to seduce Joseph?" They said, "GOD forbid; we did not know of anything evil committed by him." The wife of the governor said, "Now the truth has prevailed. I am the one who tried to seduce him, and he was the truthful one. | ||||
| 155 | [12:51] Line:1647 |

| [YA]: (The king) said (to the ladies): "What was your affair when ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "Allah preserve us! no evil know we against him!" Said the 'Aziz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (to all): it was I who sought to seduce him from his (true) self: He is indeed of those who are (ever) true (and virtuous). [RK]:(The king) said (to the women), "What do you know about the incident when you tried to seduce Joseph?" They said, "GOD forbid; we did not know of anything evil committed by him." The wife of the governor said, "Now the truth has prevailed. I am the one who tried to seduce him, and he was the truthful one. | ||||
| 156 | [12:53] Line:1649 |
| ||
| [YA]: "Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." [RK]:"I do not claim innocence for myself. The self is an advocate of vice, except for those who have attained mercy from my Lord. My Lord is Forgiver, Most Merciful." | ||||
| 157 | [12:53] Line:1649 |

| [YA]: "Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." [RK]:"I do not claim innocence for myself. The self is an advocate of vice, except for those who have attained mercy from my Lord. My Lord is Forgiver, Most Merciful." | ||||
| 158 | [12:54] Line:1650 |
| ||
| [YA]: So the king said: "Bring him unto me; I will take him specially to serve about my own person." Therefore when he had spoken to him, he said: "Be assured this day, thou art, before our own presence, with rank firmly established, and fidelity fully proved! [RK]:The king said, "Bring him to me, so I can hire him to work for me." When he talked with him, he said, "Today, you have a prominent position with us." | ||||
| 159 | [12:68] Line:1664 |
| ||
| [YA]: And when they entered in the manner their father had enjoined, it did not profit them in the least against (the plan of) Allah: It was but a necessity of Jacob's soul, which he discharged. For he was, by our instruction, full of knowledge (and experience): but most men know not. [RK]:When they went (to Joseph), they entered in accordance with their father's instructions. Although this could not change anything decreed by GOD, Jacob had a private reason for asking them to do this. For he possessed certain knowledge that we taught him, but most people do not know. | ||||
| 160 | [12:73] Line:1669 |
| ||
| [YA]: (The brothers) said: "By Allah! well ye know that we came not to make mischief in the land, and we are no thieves!" [RK]:They said, "By GOD, you know full well that we did not come here to commit evil, nor are we thieves." | ||||
| 161 | [12:77] Line:1673 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "If he steals, there was a brother of his who did steal before (him)." But these things did Joseph keep locked in his heart, revealing not the secrets to them. He (simply) said (to himself): "Ye are the worse situated; and Allah knoweth best the truth of what ye assert!" [RK]:They said, "If he stole, so did a brother of his in the past." Joseph concealed his feelings in himself, and did not give them any clue. He said (to himself), "You are really bad. GOD is fully aware of your accusations." | ||||
| 162 | [12:83] Line:1679 |
| ||
| [YA]: Jacob said: "Nay, but ye have yourselves contrived a story (good enough) for you. So patience is most fitting (for me). Maybe Allah will bring them (back) all to me (in the end). For He is indeed full of knowledge and wisdom." [RK]:He said, "Indeed, you have conspired to carry out a certain scheme. Quiet patience is my only recourse. May GOD bring them all back to me. He is the Omniscient, Most Wise." | ||||
| 163 | [13:11] Line:1718 |
| ||
| [YA]: For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Allah does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their hearts. But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect. [RK]:Shifts (of angels) take turns, staying with each one of you - they are in front of you and behind you. They stay with you, and guard you in accordance with GOD's commands. Thus, GOD does not change the condition of any people unless they themselves make the decision to change. If GOD wills any hardship for any people, no force can stop it. For they have none beside Him as Lord and Master. | ||||
| 164 | [13:16] Line:1723 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allah." Say: "Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible." [RK]:Say, "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say, "GOD." Say, "Why then do you set up besides Him masters who do not possess any power to benefit or harm even themselves?" Say, "Is the blind the same as the seer? Is darkness the same as the light?" Have they found idols besides GOD who created creations similar to His creations, to the point of not distinguishing the two creations? Say, "GOD is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme." | ||||
| 165 | [13:33] Line:1740 |
| ||
| [YA]: Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: "But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide. [RK]:Is there any equal to the One who controls every single soul? Yet, they set up idols to rival GOD. Say, "Name them. Are you informing Him of something on earth that He does not know? Or, are you fabricating empty statements?" Indeed, the schemes of those who disbelieve have been adorned in their eyes. They are thus diverted from the right path. Whomever GOD sends astray can never find a guiding teacher. | ||||
| 166 | [13:42] Line:1749 |
| ||
| [YA]: Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master-planning is Allah's He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end. [RK]:Others before them have schemed, but to GOD belongs the ultimate scheming. He knows what everyone is doing. The disbelievers will find out who the ultimate winners are. | ||||
| 167 | [14:22] Line:1772 |
| ||
| [YA]: And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty." [RK]:And the devil will say, after the judgment had been issued, "GOD has promised you the truthful promise, and I promised you, but I broke my promise. I had no power over you; I simply invited you, and you accepted my invitation. Therefore, do not blame me, and blame only yourselves. My complaining cannot help you, nor can your complaining help me. I have disbelieved in your idolizing me. The transgressors have incurred a painful retribution." | ||||
| 168 | [14:45] Line:1795 |
| ||
| [YA]: "And ye dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged their own souls; ye were clearly shown how We dealt with them; and We put forth (many) parables in your behoof!" [RK]:You dwelled in the homes of those before you, who wronged their souls, and you have seen clearly what we did to them. We have set many precedents for you. | ||||
| 169 | [14:51] Line:1801 |
| ||
| [YA]: That Allah may requite each soul according to its deserts; and verily Allah is swift in calling to account. [RK]:For GOD will pay each soul for whatever it earned; GOD is the most efficient reckoner. | ||||
| 170 | [16:7] Line:1908 |
| ||
| [YA]: And they carry your heavy loads to lands that ye could not (otherwise) reach except with souls distressed: for your Lord is indeed Most Kind, Most Merciful, [RK]:And they carry your loads to lands that you could not reach without a great hardship. Surely, your Lord is Compassionate, Most Merciful. | ||||
| 171 | [16:28] Line:1929 |
| ||
| [YA]: "(Namely) those whose lives the angels take in a state of wrong-doing to their own souls." Then would they offer submission (with the pretence), "We did no evil (knowingly)." (The angels will reply), "Nay, but verily Allah knoweth all that ye did; [RK]:The angels put them to death in a state of wronging their souls. That is when they finally submit, and say, "We did not do anything wrong!" Yes indeed. GOD is fully aware of everything you have done. | ||||
| 172 | [16:33] Line:1934 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls. [RK]:Are they waiting for the angels to come to them, or until your Lord's judgment comes to pass? Those before them did the same thing. GOD is not the One who wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls. | ||||
| 173 | [16:72] Line:1973 |
| ||
| [YA]: And Allah has made for you mates (and companions) of your own nature, and made for you, out of them, sons and daughters and grandchildren, and provided for you sustenance of the best: will they then believe in vain things, and be ungrateful for Allah's favours?- [RK]:And GOD made for you spouses from among yourselves, and produced for you from your spouses children and grandchildren, and provided you with good provisions. Should they believe in falsehood, and turn unappreciative of GOD's blessings? | ||||
| 174 | [16:89] Line:1990 |
| ||
| [YA]: One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people): and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. [RK]:The day will come when we will raise from every community a witness from among them, and bring you as the witness of these people. We have revealed to you this book to provide explanations for everything, and guidance, and mercy, and good news for the submitters. | ||||
| 175 | [16:111] Line:2012 |
| ||
| [YA]: One Day every soul will come up struggling for itself, and every soul will be recompensed (fully) for all its actions, and none will be unjustly dealt with. [RK]:The day will come when every soul will serve as its own advocate, and every soul will be paid fully for whatever it had done, without the least injustice. | ||||
| 176 | [16:111] Line:2012 |
| ||
| [YA]: One Day every soul will come up struggling for itself, and every soul will be recompensed (fully) for all its actions, and none will be unjustly dealt with. [RK]:The day will come when every soul will serve as its own advocate, and every soul will be paid fully for whatever it had done, without the least injustice. | ||||
| 177 | [16:111] Line:2012 |

| 178 | [16:118] Line:2019 |
| ||
| [YA]: To the Jews We prohibited such things as We have mentioned to thee before: We did them no wrong, but they were used to doing wrong to themselves. [RK]:For the Jews, we prohibited what we narrated to you previously. It was not us who wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls. | ||||
| 179 | [17:7] Line:2036 |
| ||
| [YA]: If ye did well, ye did well for yourselves; if ye did evil, (ye did it) against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disfigure your faces, and to enter your Temple as they had entered it before, and to visit with destruction all that fell into their power. [RK]:"If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for your own good, but if you commit evil you do so to your own detriment. Thus, when the second time comes to pass, they will defeat you and enter the masjid, just as they did the first time. They will wipe out all the gains you had accomplished." | ||||
| 180 | [17:14] Line:2043 |
| ||
| [YA]: (It will be said to him:) "Read thine (own) record: Sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account against thee." [RK]:Read your own record. Today, you suffice as your own reckoner. | ||||
| 181 | [17:15] Line:2044 |
| ||
| [YA]: Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger (to give warning). [RK]:Whoever is guided, is guided for his own good, and whoever goes astray does so to his own detriment. No sinner will bear the sins of anyone else. We never punish without first sending a messenger. | ||||
| 182 | [17:25] Line:2054 |
| ||
| [YA]: Your Lord knoweth best what is in your hearts: If ye do deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again (in true penitence). [RK]:Your Lord is fully aware of your innermost thoughts. If you maintain righteousness, He is Forgiver of those who repent. | ||||
| 183 | [17:33] Line:2062 |
| ||
| [YA]: Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law). [RK]:You shall not kill any person - for GOD has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder; he will be helped. | ||||
| 184 | [18:6] Line:2146 |
| ||
| [YA]: Thou wouldst only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in grief, if they believe not in this Message. [RK]:You may blame yourself on account of their response to this narration, and their disbelieving in it; you may be saddened. | ||||
| 185 | [18:28] Line:2168 |
| ||
| [YA]: And keep thy soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face; and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; no obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds. [RK]:You shall force yourself to be with those who worship their Lord day and night, seeking Him alone. Do not turn your eyes away from them, seeking the vanities of this world. Nor shall you obey one whose heart we rendered oblivious to our message; one who pursues his own desires, and whose priorities are confused. | ||||
| 186 | [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. | ||||
| 187 | [18:51] Line:2191 |
| ||
| [YA]: I called them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor (even) their own creation: nor is it for helpers such as Me to take as lead (men) astray! [RK]:I never permitted them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor the creation of themselves. Nor do I permit the wicked to work in My kingdom. | ||||
| 188 | [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." | ||||
| 189 | [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." | ||||
| 190 | [20:15] Line:2363 |
| ||
| [YA]: "Verily the Hour is coming - My design is to keep it hidden - for every soul to receive its reward by the measure of its Endeavour. [RK]:"The Hour (end of the world) is surely coming; I will keep it almost hidden, for each soul must be paid for its works. | ||||
| 191 | [20:40] Line:2388 |
| ||
| [YA]: "Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man, but We saved thee from trouble, and We tried thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses! [RK]:"Your sister walked to them and said, `I can tell you about a nursing mother who can take good care of him.' We thus returned you to your mother, that she may be happy and stop worrying. And when you killed a person, we saved you from the grievous consequences; indeed we tested you thoroughly. You stayed years with the people of Midyan, and now you have come back in accordance with a precise plan. | ||||
| 192 | [20:41] Line:2389 |
| ||
| [YA]: "And I have prepared thee for Myself (for service)".. [RK]:"I have made you just for Me. | ||||
| 193 | [20:67] Line:2415 |
| ||
| [YA]: So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear. [RK]:Moses harbored some fear. | ||||
| 194 | [20:96] Line:2444 |
| ||
| [YA]: He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me." [RK]:He said, "I saw what they could not see. I grabbed a fistful (of dust) from the place where the messenger stood, and used it (to mix into the golden calf). This is what my mind inspired me to do." | ||||
| 195 | [21:35] Line:2518 |
| ||
| [YA]: Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return. [RK]:Every person will taste death, after we put you to the test through adversity and prosperity, then to us you ultimately return. | ||||
| 196 | [21:43] Line:2526 |
| ||
| [YA]: Or have they gods that can guard them from Us? They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from Us. [RK]:Do they have gods who can protect them from us? They cannot even help themselves. Nor can they accompany one another when they are summoned to face us. | ||||
| 197 | [21:47] Line:2530 |
| ||
| [YA]: We shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it (to account): and enough are We to take account. [RK]:We will establish the scales of justice on the Day of Resurrection. No soul will suffer the least injustice. Even the equivalent of a mustard seed will be accounted for. We are the most efficient reckoners. | ||||
| 198 | [21:64] Line:2547 |
| ||
| [YA]: So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!" [RK]:They were taken aback, and said to themselves, "Indeed, you are the ones who have been transgressing." | ||||
| 199 | [21:102] Line:2585 |
| ||
| [YA]: Not the slightest sound will they hear of Hell: what their souls desired, in that will they dwell. [RK]:They will not hear its hissing. They will enjoy an abode where they can get everything they desire, forever. | ||||
| 200 | [23:62] Line:2735 |
| ||
| [YA]: On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear: before Us is a record which clearly shows the truth: they will never be wronged. [RK]:We never burden any soul beyond its means, and we keep a record that utters the truth. No one will suffer injustice. | ||||
