| ||
| [YA]: Those are they whose hearts, ears, and eyes Allah has sealed up, and they take no heed. [RK]:Those are the ones whom GOD has sealed their hearts, and their hearing, and their eyesight. Consequently, they remain unaware. | ||||
| 702 | [16:115] Line:2016 |
| ||
| [YA]: He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [RK]:He only prohibits for you dead animals, blood, the meat of pigs, and food which is dedicated to other than GOD. If one is forced (to eat these), without being deliberate or malicious, then GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful. | ||||
| 703 | [16:116] Line:2017 |
| ||
| [YA]: But say not - for any false thing that your tongues may put forth,- "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," so as to ascribe false things to Allah. For those who ascribe false things to Allah, will never prosper. [RK]:You shall not utter lies with your own tongues stating: "This is lawful, and this is unlawful," to fabricate lies and attribute them to GOD. Surely, those who fabricate lies and attribute them to GOD will never succeed. | ||||

| ||
| [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. | ||||
| 706 | [16:118] Line:2019 |

| 707 | [16:124] Line:2025 |
| ||
| [YA]: The Sabbath was only made (strict) for those who disagreed (as to its observance); But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, as to their differences. [RK]:The Sabbath was decreed only for those who ended up disputing it (Jews & Christians). Your Lord is the One who will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their disputes. | ||||
| 708 | [16:127] Line:2028 |
| ||
| [YA]: And do thou be patient, for thy patience is but from Allah; nor grieve over them: and distress not thyself because of their plots. [RK]:You shall resort to patience - and your patience is attainable only with GOD's help. Do not grieve over them, and do not be annoyed by their schemes. | ||||
| 709 | [17:5] Line:2034 |
| ||
| [YA]: When the first of the warnings came to pass, We sent against you Our servants given to terrible warfare: They entered the very inmost parts of your homes; and it was a warning (completely) fulfilled. [RK]:"When the first time comes to pass, we will send against you servants of ours who possess great might, and they will invade your homes. This is a prophecy that must come to pass. | ||||
| 710 | [17:6] Line:2035 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then did We grant you the Return as against them: We gave you increase in resources and sons, and made you the more numerous in man-power. [RK]:"Afterwards, we will give you a turn over them, and will supply you with a lot of wealth and children; we will give you the upper hand. | ||||
| 711 | [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. | ||||
| 712 | [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. | ||||
| 713 | [17:16] Line:2045 |
| ||
| [YA]: When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We destroy them utterly. [RK]:If we are to annihilate any community, we let the leaders commit vast corruption therein. Once they deserve retribution, we annihilate it completely. | ||||
| 714 | [17:21] Line:2050 |
| ||
| [YA]: See how We have bestowed more on some than on others; but verily the Hereafter is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence. [RK]:Note how we preferred some people above others (in this life). The differences in the Hereafter are far greater and far more significant. | ||||
| 715 | [17:46] Line:2075 |
| ||
| [YA]: And We put coverings over their hearts (and minds) lest they should understand the Qur'an, and deafness into their ears: when thou dost commemorate thy Lord and Him alone in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing (from the Truth). [RK]:We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears. And when you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone, they run away in aversion. | ||||
| 716 | [17:46] Line:2075 |

| [YA]: It is your Lord that knoweth you best: If He please, He granteth you mercy, or if He please, punishment: We have not sent thee to be a disposer of their affairs for them. [RK]:Your Lord knows you best. According to His knowledge, He may shower you with mercy, or He may requite you. We did not send you to be their advocate. | ||||
| 718 | [17:55] Line:2084 |
| ||
| [YA]: And it is your Lord that knoweth best all beings that are in the heavens and on earth: We did bestow on some prophets more (and other) gifts than on others: and We gave to David (the gift of) the Psalms. [RK]:Your Lord is the best knower of everyone in the heavens and the earth. In accordance with this knowledge, we preferred some prophets over others. For example, we gave David the Psalms. | ||||
| 719 | [17:62] Line:2091 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "Seest Thou? this is the one whom Thou hast honoured above me! If Thou wilt but respite me to the Day of Judgment, I will surely bring his descendants under my sway - all but a few!" [RK]:He said, "Since You have honored him over me, if You respite me till the Day of Resurrection, I will possess all his descendants, except a few." | ||||
| 720 | [17:64] Line:2093 |
| ||
| [YA]: "Lead to destruction those whom thou canst among them, with thy (seductive) voice; make assaults on them with thy cavalry and thy infantry; mutually share with them wealth and children; and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit. [RK]:"You may entice them with your voice, and mobilize all your forces and all your men against them, and share in their money and children, and promise them. Anything the devil promises is no more than an illusion. | ||||
| 721 | [17:65] Line:2094 |
| ||
| [YA]: "As for My servants, no authority shalt thou have over them:" Enough is thy Lord for a Disposer of affairs. [RK]:"As for My servants, you have no power over them." Your Lord suffices as an advocate. | ||||
| 722 | [17:68] Line:2097 |
| ||
| [YA]: Do ye then feel secure that He will not cause you to be swallowed up beneath the earth when ye are on land, or that He will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones) so that ye shall find no one to carry out your affairs for you? [RK]:Have you guaranteed that He will not cause the land, on shore, to swallow you? Or, that He will not send upon you a tempest, then you find no protector? | ||||
| 723 | [17:69] Line:2098 |
| ||
| [YA]: Or do ye feel secure that He will not send you back a second time to sea and send against you a heavy gale to drown you because of your ingratitude, so that ye find no helper. Therein against Us? [RK]:Have you guaranteed that He will not return you to the sea another time, then send upon you a storm that drowns you because of your disbelief? Once this happens, we will not give you another chance. | ||||
| 724 | [17:69] Line:2098 |

| 725 | [17:70] Line:2099 |
| ||
| [YA]: We have honoured the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favours, above a great part of our creation. [RK]:We have honored the children of Adam, and provided them with rides on land and in the sea. We provided for them good provisions, and we gave them greater advantages than many of our creatures. | ||||
| 726 | [17:73] Line:2102 |
| ||
| [YA]: And their purpose was to tempt thee away from that which We had revealed unto thee, to substitute in our name something quite different; (in that case), behold! they would certainly have made thee (their) friend! [RK]:They almost diverted you from the revelations we have given you. They wanted you to fabricate something else, in order to consider you a friend. | ||||
| 727 | [17:75] Line:2104 |
| ||
| [YA]: In that case We should have made thee taste an equal portion (of punishment) in this life, and an equal portion in death: and moreover thou wouldst have found none to help thee against Us! [RK]:Had you done that, we would have doubled the retribution for you in this life, and after death, and you would have found no one to help you against us. | ||||
| 728 | [17:83] Line:2112 |
| ||
| [YA]: Yet when We bestow Our favours on man, he turns away and becomes remote on his side (instead of coming to Us), and when evil seizes him he gives himself up to despair! [RK]:When we bless the human being, he becomes preoccupied and heedless. But when adversity strikes him, he turns despondent. | ||||
| 729 | [17:84] Line:2113 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say: "Everyone acts according to his own disposition: But your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way." [RK]:Say, "Everyone works in accordance with his belief, and your Lord knows best which ones are guided in the right path." | ||||
| 730 | [17:86] Line:2115 |
| ||
| [YA]: If it were Our Will, We could take away that which We have sent thee by inspiration:then wouldst thou find none to plead thy affair in that matter as against Us,- [RK]:If we will, we can take back what we revealed to you, then you will find no protector against us. | ||||
| 731 | [17:87] Line:2116 |
| ||
| [YA]: Except for Mercy from thy Lord: for his bounty is to thee (indeed) great. [RK]:This is but mercy from your Lord. His blessings upon you have been great. | ||||

| ||
| [YA]: Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.

| 733 | [17:92] Line:2121 |
| ||
| [YA]: "Or thou cause the sky to fall in pieces, as thou sayest (will happen), against us; or thou bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face: [RK]:"Or unless you cause masses from the sky, as you claimed, to fall on us. Or unless you bring GOD and the angels before our eyes. | ||||

| ||
| [YA]: "Or thou have a house adorned with gold, or thou mount a ladder right into the skies. No, we shall not even believe in thy mounting until thou send down to us a book that we could read." Say: "Glory to my Lord! Am I aught but a man,- a messenger?" [RK]:"Or unless you own a luxurious mansion, or unless you climb into the sky. Even if you do climb, we will not believe unless you bring a book that we can read." Say, "Glory be to my Lord. Am I any more than a human messenger?" | ||||
| 735 | [17:95] Line:2124 |
| ||
| [YA]: Say, "If there were settled, on earth, angels walking about in peace and quiet, We should certainly have sent them down from the heavens an angel for a messenger." [RK]:Say, "If the earth were inhabited by angels, we would have sent down to them from the sky an angel messenger." | ||||
| 736 | [17:97] Line:2126 |
| ||
| [YA]: It is he whom Allah guides, that is on true Guidance; but he whom He leaves astray - for such wilt thou find no protector besides Him. On the Day of Judgment We shall gather, them together, prone on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf: their abode will be Hell: every time it shows abatement, We shall increase from them the fierceness of the Fire. [RK]:Whomever GOD guides is the truly guided one. And whomever He sends astray, you will never find for them any lords and masters beside Him. We will summon them on the Day of Resurrection forcibly; blind, dumb, and deaf. Their destination is Hell; whenever it cools down, we will increase their fire. | ||||
| 737 | [17:99] Line:2128 |
| ||
| [YA]: See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, has power to create the like of them (anew)? Only He has decreed a term appointed, of which there is no doubt. But the unjust refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude. [RK]:Could they not see that the GOD who created the heavens and the earth is able to create the same creations? (That) He has predetermined for them an irrevocable life span? Yet, the disbelievers insist upon disbelieving. | ||||
| 738 | [17:106] Line:2135 |
| ||
| [YA]: (It is) a Qur'an which We have divided (into parts from time to time), in order that thou mightest recite it to men at intervals: We have revealed it by stages.

| [YA]: Say: "Whether ye believe in it or not, it is true that those who were given knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration, [RK]:Proclaim, "Believe in it, or do not believe in it."

| [YA]: We relate to thee their story in truth: they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We advanced them in guidance: [RK]:We narrate to you their history, truthfully. They were youths who believed in their Lord, and we increased their guidance. | ||||
| 745 | [18:14] Line:2154 |
| ||
| [YA]: We gave strength to their hearts: Behold, they stood up and said: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and of the earth: never shall we call upon any god other than Him: if we did, we should indeed have uttered an enormity! [RK]:We strengthened their hearts when they stood up and proclaimed: "Our only Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We will never worship any other god beside Him. Otherwise, we would be far astray. | ||||
| 746 | [18:15] Line:2155 |
| ||
| [YA]: "These our people have taken for worship gods other than Him: why do they not bring forward an authority clear (and convincing) for what they do? Who doth more wrong than such as invent a falsehood against Allah? [RK]:"Here are our people setting up gods beside Him. If only they could provide any proof to support their stand! Who is more evil than the one who fabricates lies and attributes them to GOD? | ||||

| ||
| [YA]: Thou wouldst have deemed them awake, whilst they were asleep, and We turned them on their right and on their left sides: their dog stretching forth his two fore-legs on the threshold: if thou hadst come up on to them, thou wouldst have certainly turned back from them in flight, and wouldst certainly have been filled with terror of them. [RK]:You would think that they were awake, when they were in fact asleep. We turned them to the right side and the left side, while their dog stretched his arms in their midst. Had you looked at them, you would have fled from them, stricken with terror. | ||||
| 749 | [18:20] Line:2160 |
| ||
| [YA]: "For if they should come upon you, they would stone you or force you to return to their cult, and in that case ye would never attain prosperity." [RK]:"If they discover you, they will stone you, or force you to revert to their religion, then you can never succeed." | ||||

Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them." [RK]:We caused them to be discovered, to let everyone know that GOD's promise is true, and to remove all doubt concerning the end of the world. The people then disputed among themselves regarding them. Some said, "Let us build a building around them." Their Lord is the best knower about them. Those who prevailed said, "We will build a place of worship around them." | ||||
