| [YA]: Do they not look at Allah's creation, (even) among (inanimate) things,- How their (very) shadows turn round, from the right and the left, prostrating themselves to Allah, and that in the humblest manner? [RK]:Have they not seen all the things created by GOD? Their shadows surround them right and left, in total submission to GOD, and willingly. | ||||

| ||
| [YA]: And to Allah doth obeisance all that is in the heavens and on earth, whether moving (living) creatures or the angels: for none are arrogant (before their Lord). [RK]:To GOD prostrates everything in the heavens and everything on earth - every creature - and so do the angels; without the least arrogance. | ||||
| 1554 | [16:51] Line:1952 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah has said: "Take not (for worship) two gods: for He is just One Allah: then fear Me (and Me alone)." [RK]:GOD has proclaimed: "Do not worship two gods; there is only one god. You shall reverence Me alone." | ||||

| 1556 | [16:52] Line:1953 |
| ||
| [YA]: To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth, and to Him is duty due always: then will ye fear other than Allah? [RK]:To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth and therefore, the religion shall be devoted absolutely to Him alone. Would you worship other than GOD? | ||||
| 1557 | [16:53] Line:1954 |
| ||
| [YA]: And ye have no good thing but is from Allah: and moreover, when ye are touched by distress, unto Him ye cry with groans; [RK]:Any blessing you enjoy is from GOD. Yet, whenever you incur any adversity you immediately complain to Him. | ||||
| 1558 | [16:56] Line:1957 |
| ||
| [YA]: And they (even) assign, to things they do not know, a portion out of that which We have bestowed for their sustenance! By Allah, ye shall certainly be called to account for your false inventions. [RK]:They designate for the idols they set up out of ignorance, a share of the provisions we bestow upon them. By GOD, you will be held accountable for your innovations. | ||||
| 1559 | [16:57] Line:1958 |
| ||
| [YA]: And they assign daughters for Allah! - Glory be to Him! - and for themselves (sons,- the issue) they desire! [RK]:They even assign daughters to GOD, be He glorified, while they prefer for themselves what they like. | ||||
| 1560 | [16:60] Line:1961 |
| ||
| [YA]: To those who believe not in the Hereafter, applies the similitude of evil: to Allah applies the highest similitude: for He is the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom. [RK]:Those who do not believe in the Hereafter set the worst examples, while to GOD belongs the most sublime examples. He is the Almighty, the Most Wise. | ||||
| 1561 | [16:61] Line:1962 |
| ||
| [YA]: If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour). [RK]:If GOD punished the people for their transgressions, He would have annihilated every creature on earth. But He respites them for a specific, predetermined time. Once their interim ends, they cannot delay it by one hour, nor advance it. | ||||
| 1562 | [16:62] Line:1963 |
| ||
| [YA]: They attribute to Allah what they hate (for themselves), and their tongues assert the falsehood that all good things are for themselves: without doubt for them is the Fire, and they will be the first to be hastened on into it! [RK]:They ascribe to GOD what they dislike for themselves, then utter the lie with their own tongues that they are righteous! Without any doubt, they have incurred Hell, for they have rebelled. | ||||
| 1563 | [16:63] Line:1964 |
| ||
| [YA]: By Allah, We (also) sent (Our messengers) to Peoples before thee; but Satan made, (to the wicked), their own acts seem alluring: He is also their patron today, but they shall have a most grievous penalty. [RK]:By GOD, we have sent (messengers) to communities before you, but the devil adorned their works in their eyes. Consequently, he is now their lord, and they have incurred a painful retribution. | ||||
| 1564 | [16:65] Line:1966 |
| ||
| [YA]: And Allah sends down rain from the skies, and gives therewith life to the earth after its death: verily in this is a Sign for those who listen. [RK]:GOD sends down from the sky water to revive the land after it had died. This should be (sufficient) proof for people who hear. | ||||
| 1565 | [16:70] Line:1971 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is Allah who creates you and takes your souls at death; and of you there are some who are sent back to a feeble age, so that they know nothing after having known (much): for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful. [RK]:GOD created you, then He terminates your lives. He lets some of you live to the oldest age, only to find out that there is a limit to the knowledge they can acquire. GOD is Omniscient, Omnipotent. | ||||

| 1567 | [16:71] Line:1972 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah has bestowed His gifts of sustenance more freely on some of you than on others: those more favoured are not going to throw back their gifts to those whom their right hands possess, so as to be equal in that respect. Will they then deny the favours of Allah? [RK]:GOD has provided for some of you more than others. Those who are given plenty would never give their properties to their subordinates to the extent of making them partners. Would they give up GOD's blessings? | ||||

| ||
| [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? | ||||

| 1571 | [16:73] Line:1974 |
| ||
| [YA]: And worship others than Allah,- such as have no power of providing them, for sustenance, with anything in heavens or earth, and cannot possibly have such power? [RK]:Yet, they worship beside GOD what possesses no provisions for them in the heavens, nor on earth, nor can provide them with anything. | ||||
| 1572 | [16:74] Line:1975 |
| ||
| [YA]: Invent not similitudes for Allah: for Allah knoweth, and ye know not. [RK]:Therefore, do not cite the examples for GOD; GOD knows while you do not know. | ||||

| [YA]: Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? (By no means;) praise be to Allah. But most of them understand not. [RK]:GOD cites the example of a slave who is owned, and is totally powerless, compared to one whom we blessed with good provisions, from which he gives to charity secretly and publicly. Are they equal? Praise be to GOD, most of them do not know. | ||||

| 1576 | [16:76] Line:1977 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah sets forth (another) Parable of two men: one of them dumb, with no power of any sort; a wearisome burden is he to his master; whichever way be directs him, he brings no good: is such a man equal with one who commands Justice, and is on a Straight Way? [RK]:And GOD cites the example of two men: one is dumb, lacks the ability to do anything, is totally dependent on his master - whichever way he directs him, he cannot produce anything good. Is he equal to one who rules with justice, and is guided in the right path? | ||||
| 1577 | [16:77] Line:1978 |
| ||
| [YA]: To Allah belongeth the Mystery of the heavens and the earth. And the Decision of the Hour (of Judgment) is as the twingkling of an eye, or even quicker: for Allah hath power over all things. [RK]:To GOD belongs the future of the heavens and the earth. As far as He is concerned, the end of the world (the Hour) is a blink of an eye away, or even closer. GOD is Omnipotent. | ||||

| ||
| [YA]: It is He Who brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers when ye knew nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections: that ye may give thanks (to Allah). [RK]:GOD brought you out of your mothers' bellies knowing nothing, and He gave you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains, that you may be appreciative. | ||||
| 1580 | [16:79] Line:1980 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do they not look at the birds, held poised in the midst of (the air and) the sky? Nothing holds them up but (the power of) Allah. Verily in this are signs for those who believe. [RK]:Do they not see the birds committed to fly in the atmosphere of the sky? None holds them up in the air except GOD. This should be (sufficient) proof for people who believe. | ||||
| 1581 | [16:80] Line:1981 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is Allah Who made your habitations homes of rest and quiet for you; and made for you, out of the skins of animals, (tents for) dwellings, which ye find so light (and handy) when ye travel and when ye stop (in your travels); and out of their wool, and their soft fibres (between wool and hair), and their hair, rich stuff and articles of convenience (to serve you) for a time. [RK]:And GOD provided for you stationary homes where you can live. And He provided for you portable homes made of the hides of livestock, so you can use them when you travel, and when you settle down. And from their wools, furs, and hair, you make furnishings and luxuries for awhile. | ||||
| 1582 | [16:81] Line:1982 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is Allah Who made out of the things He created, some things to give you shade; of the hills He made some for your shelter; He made you garments to protect you from heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. Thus does He complete His favours on you, that ye may bow to His Will (in Islam). [RK]:And GOD provided for you shade through things which He created, and provided for you shelters in the mountains, and provided for you garments that protect you from heat, and garments that protect when you fight in wars. He thus perfects His blessings upon you, that you may submit. | ||||
| 1583 | [16:83] Line:1984 |
| ||
| [YA]: They recognise the favours of Allah; then they deny them; and most of them are (creatures) ungrateful. [RK]:They fully recognize GOD's blessings, then deny them; the majority of them are disbelievers. | ||||
| 1584 | [16:87] Line:1988 |
| ||
| [YA]: That Day shall they (openly) show (their) submission to Allah; and all their inventions shall leave them in the lurch. [RK]:They will totally submit to GOD on that day, and the idols they had invented will disown them. | ||||
| 1585 | [16:88] Line:1989 |
| ||
| [YA]: Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah - for them will We add Penalty to Penalty; for that they used to spread mischief. [RK]:Those who disbelieve and repel from the path of GOD, we augment their retribution by adding more retribution, due to their transgressions. | ||||
| 1586 | [16:90] Line:1991 |
| ||
| [YA]: Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition. [RK]:GOD advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed. | ||||
| 1587 | [16:91] Line:1992 |
| ||
| [YA]: Fulfil the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it, and break not your oaths after ye have confirmed them; indeed ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knoweth all that ye do. [RK]:You shall fulfill your covenant with GOD when you make such a covenant. You shall not violate the oaths after swearing (by God) to carry them out, for you have made GOD a guarantor for you. GOD knows everything you do. | ||||

| 1590 | [16:92] Line:1993 |
| ||
| [YA]: And be not like a woman who breaks into untwisted strands the yarn which she has spun, after it has become strong. Nor take your oaths to practise deception between yourselves, lest one party should be more numerous than another: for Allah will test you by this; and on the Day of Judgment He will certainly make clear to you (the truth of) that wherein ye disagree. [RK]:Do not be like the knitter who unravels her strong knitting into piles of flimsy yarn. This is your example if you abuse the oaths to take advantage of one another. Whether one group is larger than the other, GOD thus puts you to the test. He will surely show you on the Day of Resurrection everything you had disputed. | ||||
| 1591 | [16:93] Line:1994 |
| ||
| [YA]: If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions. [RK]:Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He sends astray whoever chooses to go astray, and He guides whoever wishes to be guided. You will surely be asked about everything you have done. | ||||
| 1592 | [16:94] Line:1995 |
| ||
| [YA]: And take not your oaths, to practise deception between yourselves, with the result that someone's foot may slip after it was firmly planted, and ye may have to taste the evil (consequences) of having hindered (men) from the Path of Allah, and a Mighty Wrath descend on you. [RK]:Do not abuse the oaths among you, lest you slide back after having a strong foothold, then you incur misery. Such is the consequence of repelling from the path of GOD (by setting a bad example); you incur a terrible retribution. | ||||
| 1593 | [16:95] Line:1996 |
| ||
| [YA]: Nor sell the covenant of Allah for a miserable price: for with Allah is (a prize) far better for you, if ye only knew. [RK]:Do not sell your oaths short before GOD. What GOD possesses is far better for you, if you only knew. | ||||
| 1594 | [16:95] Line:1996 |

| 1595 | [16:96] Line:1997 |
| ||
| [YA]: What is with you must vanish: what is with Allah will endure. And We will certainly bestow, on those who patiently persevere, their reward according to the best of their actions. [RK]:What you possess runs out, but what GOD possesses lasts forever. We will surely reward those who steadfastly persevere; we will recompense them for their righteous works. | ||||
| 1596 | [16:98] Line:1999 |
| ||
| [YA]: When thou dost read the Qur'an, seek Allah's protection from Satan the rejected one. [RK]:When you read the Quran, you shall seek refuge in GOD from Satan the rejected. | ||||
| 1597 | [16:101] Line:2002 |
| ||
| [YA]: When We substitute one revelation for another,- and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages),- they say, "Thou art but a forger": but most of them understand not. [RK]:When we substitute one revelation in place of another, and GOD is fully aware of what He reveals, they say, "You made this up!" Indeed, most of them do not know. | ||||
| 1598 | [16:104] Line:2005 |
| ||
| [YA]: Those who believe not in the Signs of Allah,- Allah will not guide them, and theirs will be a grievous Penalty. [RK]:Surely, those who do not believe in GOD's revelations, GOD does not guide them. They have incurred a painful retribution. | ||||

| 1600 | [16:105] Line:2006 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is those who believe not in the Signs of Allah, that forge falsehood: it is they who lie! [RK]:The only ones who fabricate false doctrines are those who do not believe in GOD's revelations; they are the real liars. | ||||
