29. Al-Ankaboot سُورَةُ العَنكَبُوتِ
Yusuf AliL.M
Saheeh InternationalAlif, Lam, Meem
«الم» الله أعلم بمراده بذلك.
Yusuf AliDo men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested
Saheeh InternationalDo the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried
«أحسب الناس أن يتركوا أن يقولوا» أي: بقولهم «آمنا وهم لا يفتنون» يختبرون بما يتبين به حقيقة إيمانهم، نزل في جماعة آمنوا فآذاهم المشركون.
Yusuf AliWe did test those before them, and God will certainly know those who are true from those who are false
Saheeh InternationalBut We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars
«ولقد فتنَّا الذين من قبلهم فليعلمن الله الذين صدقوا» في إيمانهم علم مشاهدة «وليعلمنَّ الكاذبين» فيه.
Yusuf AliDo those who practise evil think that they will get the better of Us? Evil is their judgment
Saheeh InternationalOr do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us? Evil is what they judge
«أم حسب الذين يعملون السيئات» الشرك والمعاصي «أن يسبقونا» يفوتونا فلا ننتقم منهم «ساء» بئس «ما» الذي «يحكمونـ» ـه حكمهم هذا.
Yusuf AliFor those whose hopes are in the meeting with God (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the term (appointed) by God is surely coming and He hears and knows (all things)
Saheeh InternationalWhoever should hope for the meeting with Allah - indeed, the term decreed by Allah is coming. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing
«من كان يرجو» يخاف «لقاء الله فإن أجل الله» به «لآتٍ» فليستعد له «وهو السميع» لأقوال العباد «العليم» بأفعالهم.
Yusuf AliAnd if any strive (with might and main), they do so for their own souls: for God is free of all needs from all creation
Saheeh InternationalAnd whoever strives only strives for [the benefit of] himself. Indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds
«ومن جاهد» جهاد حرب أو نفس «فإنما يجاهد لنفسه» فإن منفعة جهاده له لا لله «إن الله لغني عن العالمين» الإنس والجن والملائكة وعن عبادتهم.
Yusuf AliThose who believe and work righteous deeds,- from them shall We blot out all evil (that may be) in them, and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely remove from them their misdeeds and will surely reward them according to the best of what they used to do
«والذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لنكفرن عنهم سيئاتهم» بعمل الصالحات «ولنجزينهم أحسن» بمعنى: حسن ونصبه بنزع الخافض الباء «الذي كانوا يعملون» وهو الصالحات.
Yusuf AliWe have enjoined on man kindness to parents: but if they (either of them) strive (to force) thee to join with Me (in worship) anything of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not. Ye have (all) to return to me, and I will tell you (the truth ) of all that ye did
Saheeh InternationalAnd We have enjoined upon man goodness to parents. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. To Me is your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do
«ووصينا الإنسان بوالديه حسناً» أي إيصاء ذات حسن بأن يبرهما «وإن جاهداك لتشرك بي ما ليس لك به» بإشراكه «علم» موافقة للواقع فلا مفهوم له «فلا تطعهما» في الإشراك «إليَّ مرجعكم فأنبئكم بما كنتم تعملون» فأجازيكم به.
Yusuf AliAnd those who believe and work righteous deeds,- them shall We admit to the company of the Righteous
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will surely admit them among the righteous [into Paradise]
«والذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لندخلنهم في الصالحين» الأنبياء والأولياء بأن نحشرهم معهم.
Yusuf AliThen there are among men such as say, "We believe in God"; but when they suffer affliction in (the cause of) God, they treat men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of God! And if help comes (to thee) from thy Lord, they are sure to say, "We have (always) been with you!" Does not God know best all that is in the hearts of all creation
Saheeh InternationalAnd of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah," but when one [of them] is harmed for [the cause of] Allah, they consider the trial of the people as [if it were] the punishment of Allah. But if victory comes from your Lord, they say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allah most knowing of what is within the breasts of all creatures
«ومن الناس من يقول آمنا بالله فإذا أوذي في الله جعل فتنة الناس» أي أذاهم له «كعذاب الله» في الخوف منه فيطيعهم فينافق «ولئن» لام قسم «جاء نصرٌ» للمؤمنين «من ربك» فغنموا «ليقولنَّ» حذفت منه نون الرفع لتوالي النونات والواو ضمير الجمع لالتقاء الساكنين «إنا كنا معكم» في الإيمان فأشركونا في الغنيمة قال تعالى: «أوَ ليس الله بأعلم» أي بعالم «بما في صدور العالمين» بقلوبهم من الإيمان والنفاق؟ بلى.
Yusuf AliAnd God most certainly knows those who believe, and as certainly those who are Hypocrites
Saheeh InternationalAnd Allah will surely make evident those who believe, and He will surely make evident the hypocrites
«وليعلمنَّ الله الذين آمنوا» بقلوبهم «وليعلمنَّ المنافقين» فيجازي الفريقين واللام في الفعلين لام قسم.
Yusuf AliAnd the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Follow our path, and we will bear (the consequences) of your faults." Never in the least will they bear their faults: in fact they are liars
Saheeh InternationalAnd those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not carry anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars
«وقال الذين كفروا للذين آمنوا اتبعوا سبيلنا» ديننا «ولنحمل خطاياكم» في اتباعنا إن كانت والأمر بمعنى الخبر، قال تعالى: «وما هم بحاملين من خطاياهم من شيءٍ إنهم لكاذبون» في ذلك.
Yusuf AliThey will bear their own burdens, and (other) burdens along with their own, and on the Day of Judgments they will be called to account for their falsehoods
Saheeh InternationalBut they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other] burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent
(وليحملن أثقالهم) أوزارهم (وأثقالاً مع أثقالهم) بقولهم للمؤمنين "اتبعوا سبيلنا" وإضلالهم مقلديهم (وليسألن يوم القيامة عما كانوا يفترون) يكذبون على الله سؤال توبيخ واللام في الفعلين لام قسم، وحذف فاعلهما الواو ونون الرفع.
Yusuf AliWe (once) sent Noah to his people, and he tarried among them a thousand years less fifty: but the Deluge overwhelmed them while they (persisted in) sin
Saheeh InternationalAnd We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers
«ولقد أرسلنا نوحاً إلى قومه» وعمره أربعون سنة أو أكثر «فلبس فيهم ألف سنة إلا خمسين عاماً» يدعوهم إلى توحيد الله فكذبوه «فأخذهم الطوفان» أي الماء الكثير طاف بهم وعلاهم فغرقوا «وهم ظالمون» مشركون.
Yusuf AliBut We saved him and the companions of the Ark, and We made the (Ark) a Sign for all peoples
Saheeh InternationalBut We saved him and the companions of the ship, and We made it a sign for the worlds
«فأنجيناه» أي نوحا «وأصحاب السفينة» الذين كانوا معه فيها «وجعلناها آية» عبرة «للعالمين» لمن بعدهم من الناس إن عصوا رسلهم وعاش نوح بعد الطوفان ستين سنة أو أكثر حتى كثر الناس.
Yusuf AliAnd (We also saved) Abraham: behold, he said to his people, "Serve God and fear Him: that will be best for you- If ye understand
Saheeh InternationalAnd [We sent] Abraham, when he said to his people, "Worship Allah and fear Him. That is best for you, if you should know
«و» اذكر «إبراهيم إذ قال لقومه اعبدوا الله واتقوه» خافوا عقابه «ذلكم خير لكم» مما أنتم عليه من عبادة الأصنام «إن كنتم تعلمون» الخير من غيره.
Yusuf AliFor ye do worship idols besides God, and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides God have no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from God, serve Him, and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return
Saheeh InternationalYou only worship, besides Allah, idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned
«إنما تعبدون من دون الله» أي غيره «أوثاناً وتخلقون إفكا» تقولون كذباً إن الأوثان شركاء الله «إن الذين تعبدون من دون الله لا يملكون لكم رزقا» لا يقدرون أن يرزقوكم «فابتغوا عند الله الرزق» اطلبوه منه «واعبدوه واشكروا له إليه ترجعون».
Yusuf AliAnd if ye reject (the Message), so did generations before you: and the duty of the apostle is only to preach publicly (and clearly)
Saheeh InternationalAnd if you [people] deny [the message] - already nations before you have denied. And there is not upon the Messenger except [the duty of] clear notification
«إنما تعبدون من دون الله» أي غيره «أوثانا وتخلقون إفكا» تقولون كذبا إن الأوثان شركاء الله «إن الذين تعبدون من دون الله لا يملكون لكم رزقا» لا يقدرون أن يرزقوكم «فابتغوا عند الله الرزق» اطلبوه منه «واعبدوه واشكروا له إليه ترجعون».
Yusuf AliSee they not how God originates creation, then repeats it: truly that is easy for God
Saheeh InternationalHave they not considered how Allah begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allah, is easy
«أَو لم يروْا» بالياء والتاء ينظروا «كيف يُبدئ الله الخلق» هو بضم أوله وقرأ بفتحة من بدأ وأبدأ بمعنى أي يخلقهم ابتداءً «ثم» هو «يعيده» أي الخلق كما بدأه «إن ذلك» المذكور من الخلق الأول والثاني «على الله يسير» فكيف ينكرون الثاني.
Yusuf AliSay: "Travel through the earth and see how God did originate creation; so will God produce a later creation: for God has power over all things
Saheeh InternationalSay, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent
«قل سيروا في الأرض فانظروا كيف بدأ الخلق» لمن كان قبلكم وأماتهم «ثم الله ينشئ النَّشأةَ الآخرة» مداً وقصراً مع سكون الشين «إن الله على كل شيءٍ قدير» ومنه البدء والإعادة.
Yusuf AliHe punishes whom He pleases, and He grants Mercy to whom He pleases, and towards Him are ye turned
Saheeh InternationalHe punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned
«يعذِّب من يشاء» تعذيبه «ويرحم من يشاء» رحمته «وإليه تقبلون» تردون.
Yusuf AliNot on earth nor in heaven will ye be able (fleeing) to frustrate (his Plan), nor have ye, besides God, any protector or helper
Saheeh InternationalAnd you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth or in the heaven. And you have not other than Allah any protector or any helper
«وما أنتم بمعجزين» ربكم عن إدراككم «في الأرض ولا في السماء» لو كنتم فيها: أي لا تفوتونه «وما لكم من دون الله» أي غيره «من ولي» يمنعكم منه «ولا نصير» ينصركم من عذابه.
Yusuf AliThose who reject the Signs of God and the Meeting with Him (in the Hereafter),- it is they who shall despair of My Mercy: it is they who will (suffer) a most grievous Penalty
Saheeh InternationalAnd the ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and the meeting with Him - those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a painful punishment
«والذين كفروا بآيات الله ولقائه» أي القرآن والبعث «أولئك يئسوا من رحمتي» أي جنتي «وأولئك لهم عذاب أليم» مؤلم.
Yusuf AliSo naught was the answer of (Abraham's) people except that they said: "Slay him or burn him." But God did save him from the Fire. Verily in this are Signs for people who believe
Saheeh InternationalAnd the answer of Abraham's people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe
قال تعالى في قصة إبراهيم عليه السلام: «فما كان جواب قومه إلا أن قالوا اقتلوه أو حرّقوه فأنجاه الله من النار» التي قذفوه فيها بأن جعلها برداً وسلاماً «إن في ذلك» أي إنجائه منها «لآيات» هي عدم تأثيرها فيه مع عظمها وإخمادها وإنشاء روض مكانها في زمن يسير «لقوم يؤمنون» يصدقون بتوحيد الله وقدرته لأنهم المنتفعون بها.
Yusuf AliAnd he said: "For you, ye have taken (for worship) idols besides God, out of mutual love and regard between yourselves in this life; but on the Day of Judgment ye shall disown each other and curse each other: and your abode will be the Fire, an d ye shall have none to help
Saheeh InternationalAnd [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers
«وقال» إبراهيم «إنما اتخذتم من دون الله أوثانا» تعبدونها وما مصدرية «مودةُ بينكم» خبر إن، وعلى قراءة النصب مفعول له وما كافة المعنى تواددتم على عبادتها «في الحياة الدنيا ثم يوم القيامة يكفر بعضكم ببعض» يتبرأ القادة من الأتباع «ويلعن بعضكم بعضاً» يلعن الأتباع القادة «ومأواكم» مصيركم جميعاً «النار وما لكم من ناصرين» مانعين منها.
Yusuf AliBut Lut had faith in Him: He said: "I will leave home for the sake of my Lord: for He is Exalted in Might, and Wise
Saheeh InternationalAnd Lot believed him. [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to [the service of] my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise
«فآمن له» صدق إبراهيم «لوط» وهو ابن أخيه هاران «وقال» إبراهيم «إني مهاجر» من قومي «إلى ربي» إلى حيث أمرني ربي وهجر قومه وهاجر من سواد العراق إلى الشام «إنه هو العزيز» في ملكه «الحكيم» في صنعه.
Yusuf AliAnd We gave (Abraham) Isaac and Jacob, and ordained among his progeny Prophethood and Revelation, and We granted him his reward in this life; and he was in the Hereafter (of the company) of the Righteous
Saheeh InternationalAnd We gave to Him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous
«ووهبنا له» بعد إسماعيل «إسحاق ويعقوب» بعد إسحاق «وجعلنا في ذريته النبوة» فكل الأنبياء بعد إبراهيم من ذريته «والكتاب» بمعنى الكتب أي التوراة والإنجيل، والزبور والفرقان «وآتيناه أجره في الدنيا» وهو الثناء الحسن في كل أهل الأديان «وإنه في الآخرة لمن الصالحين» الذين لهم الدرجات العلى.
Yusuf AliAnd (remember) Lut: behold, he said to his people: "Ye do commit lewdness, such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you
Saheeh InternationalAnd [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds
«و» اذكر «لوطاً إذ قال لقومه أإنكم» بتحقيق الهمزتين وتسهيل الثانية وإدخال ألف بينهما على الوجهين في الموضعين «لتأتون الفاحشة» أي: أدبار الرجال «ما سبقكم بها من أحد من العالمين» الإنس والجن.
Yusuf AliDo ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway?- and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they said: "Bring us the Wrath of God if thou tellest the truth
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, you approach men and obstruct the road and commit in your meetings [every] evil." And the answer of his people was not but they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allah, if you should be of the truthful
«أإنكم لتأتون الرجال وتقطعون السبيل» طريق المارة بفعلكم الفاحشة بمن يمر بكم فترك الناس الممر بكم «وتأتون في ناديكم» أي متحدَّثِكم «المنكر» فعل الفاحشة بعضكم ببعض «فما كان جواب قومه إلا أن قالوا ائتنا بعذاب الله إن كنت من الصادقين» في استقباح ذلك وأن العذاب نازل بفاعليه.
Yusuf AliHe said: "O my Lord! help Thou me against people who do mischief
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "My Lord, support me against the corrupting people
«قال رب انصرني» بتحقيق قولي في إنزال العذاب «على القوم المفسدين» العاصين بإتيان الرجال فاستجاب الله دعاءه.
Yusuf AliWhen Our Messengers came to Abraham with the good news, they said: "We are indeed going to destroy the people of this township: for truly they are (addicted to) crime
Saheeh InternationalAnd when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good tidings, they said, "Indeed, we will destroy the people of that Lot's city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers
«ولما جاءت رسلنا إبراهيم بالبشرى» بإسحاق ويعقوب بعده «قالوا إنا مهلكوا أهل هذه القرية» أي قرية لوط «إن أهلها كانوا ظالمين» كافرين.
Yusuf AliHe said: "But there is Lut there." They said: "Well do we know who is there : we will certainly save him and his following,- except his wife: she is of those who lag behind
Saheeh International[Abraham] said, "Indeed, within it is Lot." They said, "We are more knowing of who is within it. We will surely save him and his family, except his wife. She is to be of those who remain behind
«قال» إبراهيم «إن فيها لوطا قالوا» أي الرسل «نحن أعلم بمن فيها لنُنجينَّه» بالتخفيف والتشديد «وأهله إلا امرأته كانت من الغابرين» الباقين في العذاب.
Yusuf AliAnd when Our Messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account, and felt himself powerless (to protect) them: but they said: "Fear thou not, nor grieve: we are (here) to save thee and thy following, except thy wife: she is of those who la g behind
Saheeh InternationalAnd when Our messengers came to Lot, he was distressed for them and felt for them great discomfort. They said, "Fear not, nor grieve. Indeed, we will save you and your family, except your wife; she is to be of those who remain behind
«ولما أن جاءت رسلنا لوطا سيء بهم» حزن بسببهم «وضاق بهم ذرعا» صدرا لأنهم حسان الوجوه في صورة أضياف فخاف عليهم قومه فأعلموه أنهم رسل ربه «وقالوا لا تخف ولا تحزن إنا منجُّوك» بالتشديد والتخفيف «وأهلك إلا امرأتك كانت من الغابرين» ونصب أهلك عطف على محل الكاف.
Yusuf AliFor we are going to bring down on the people of this township a Punishment from heaven, because they have been wickedly rebellious
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, we will bring down on the people of this city punishment from the sky because they have been defiantly disobedient
«إنا منزلون» بالتخفيف والتشديد «على أهل هذه القرية رجزا» عذابا «من السماء بما» بالفعل الذي «كانوا يفسقون» به أي بسبب فسقهم.
Yusuf AliAnd We have left thereof an evident Sign, for any people who (care to) understand
Saheeh InternationalAnd We have certainly left of it a sign as clear evidence for a people who use reason
«ولقد تركنا منها آية بينة» ظاهرة هي آثار خرابها «لقوم يعقلون» يتدبرون.
Yusuf AliTo the Madyan (people) (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. Then he said: "O my people! serve God, and fear the Last Day: nor commit evil on the earth, with intent to do mischief
Saheeh InternationalAnd to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah and expect the Last Day and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption
«و» أَرسلنا «إلى مدْين أخاهم شعيبا فقال يا قوم اعبدوا الله وارجوا اليوم الآخر» اخشوه، هو يوم القيامة «ولا تعثوْا في الأرض مفسدين» حال مؤكدة لعاملها من عثي بكسر المثلثة أفسد.
Yusuf AliBut they rejected him: Then the mighty Blast seized them, and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning
Saheeh InternationalBut they denied him, so the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone
«فكذبوه فأخذتهم الرجفة» الزلزلة الشديدة «فأصبحوا في دارهم جاثمين» باركين على الركب ميّتين.
Yusuf Ali(Remember also) the 'Ad and the Thamud (people): clearly will appear to you from (the traces) of their buildings (their fate): the Evil One made their deeds alluring to them, and kept them back from the Path, though they were gifted with intel ligence and skill
Saheeh InternationalAnd [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud, and it has become clear to you from their [ruined] dwellings. And Satan had made pleasing to them their deeds and averted them from the path, and they were endowed with perception
«و» أهلكنا «عادا وثمودا» بالصرف وتركه بمعنى الحي والقبيلة «وقد تبيّن لكم» إهلاكهم «من مساكنهم» بالحجر واليمن «وزيَّن لهم الشيطان أعمالهم» من الكفر والمعاصي «فصدهم عن السبيل» سبيل الحق «وكانوا مستبصرين» ذوي بصائر.
Yusuf Ali(Remember also) Qarun, Pharaoh, and Haman: there came to them Moses with Clear Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not overreach (Us)
Saheeh InternationalAnd [We destroyed] Qarun and Pharaoh and Haman. And Moses had already come to them with clear evidences, and they were arrogant in the land, but they were not outrunners [of Our punishment]
«و» أهلكنا «قارون وفرعون وهامان ولقد جاءهم» من قبل «موسى بالبيّنات» الحجج الظاهرات «فاستكبروا في الأرض وما كانوا سابقين» فائتين عذابنا.
Yusuf AliEach one of them We seized for his crime: of them, against some We sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not G od Who injured (or oppressed) them:" They injured (and oppressed) their own souls
Saheeh InternationalSo each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves
«فكلا» من المذكورين «أخذنا بذنبه فمنهم من أرسلنا عليه حاصبا» ريحاً عاصفة فيها حصباء كقوم لوط «ومنهم من أخذته الصيحة» كثمود «ومنهم من خسفنا به الأرض» كقارون «ومنهم من أغرقنا» كقوم نوح وفرعون وقومه «وما كان الله ليظلمهم» فيعذبهم بغير ذنب «ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون» بارتكاب الذنب.
Yusuf AliThe parable of those who take protectors other than God is that of the spider, who builds (to itself) a house; but truly the flimsiest of houses is the spider's house;- if they but knew
Saheeh InternationalThe example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew
«مثل الذين اتخذوا من دون الله أولياء» أي أصناماً يرجون نفعها «كمثل العنكبوت اتخذت بيتاً» لنفسها تأوي إليه «وإن أوهن» أضعف «البيوت لبيت العنكبوت» لا يدفع عنها حراً ولا برداً كذلك الأصنام لا تنفع عابديها «لو كانوا يعلمون» ذلك ما عبدوها.
Yusuf AliVerily God doth know of (every thing) whatever that they call upon besides Him: and He is Exalted (in power), Wise
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, Allah knows whatever thing they call upon other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise
«إن الله يعلم ما» بمعنى الذي «يدعون» يعبدون بالياء والتاء «من دونه» غيره «من شيء وهو العزيز» في ملكه «الحكيم» في صنعه.
Yusuf AliAnd such are the Parables We set forth for mankind, but only those understand them who have knowledge
Saheeh InternationalAnd these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge
«وتلك الأمثال» في القرآن «نضربها» نجعلها «للناس وما يعقلها» أي يفهمها «إلا العالمون» المتدبرون.
Yusuf AliGod created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): verily in that is a Sign for those who believe
Saheeh InternationalAllah created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers
«خلقَ الله السماوات والأرض بالحق» أي محقا «إن في ذلك لآيةً» دالة على قدرته تعالى «للمؤمنين» خصّوا بالذكر لأنهم المنتفعون بها في الإيمان بخلاف الكافرين.
Yusuf AliRecite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of God is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And God knows the (deeds) that ye d o
Saheeh InternationalRecite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do
«اتل ما أوحي إليك من الكتاب» القرآن «وأقم الصلاة إن الصلاة تنهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر» شرعا أي من شأنها ذلك ما دام المرء فيها «ولذكر الله أكبر» من غيره من الطاعات «والله يعلم ما تصنعون» فيجازيكم به.
Yusuf AliAnd dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury): but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that whic h came down to you; Our God and your God is one; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam)
Saheeh InternationalAnd do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him
«ولا تجادلوا أهل الكتاب إلا بالتي» أي: المجادلة التي «هي أحسن» كالدعاء إلى الله بآياته والتنبيه على حججه «إلا الذين ظلموا منهم» بأن حاربوا وأبوا أن يقرّوا بالجزية فجادلوهم بالسيف حتى يسلموا أو يعطوا الجزية «وقولوا» لمن قبل الإقرار بالجزية إذا أخبروكم بشيء مما في كتبهم «آمنا بالذي أنزل إلينا وأنزل إليكم» ولا تصدقوهم ولا تكذبوهم في ذلك «وإلهنا وإلهكم واحدٌ ونحن مسلمون» مطيعون.
Yusuf AliAnd thus (it is) that We have sent down the Book to thee. So the People of the Book believe therein, as also do some of these (pagan Arabs): and none but Unbelievers reject our signs
Saheeh InternationalAnd thus We have sent down to you the Qur'an. And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture believe in it. And among these [people of Makkah] are those who believe in it. And none reject Our verses except the disbelievers
«وكذلك أنزلنا إليك الكتاب» القرآن كما أنزلنا إليهم التوراة وغيرها «فالذين آتيناهم الكتاب» التوراة كعبد الله بن سلام وغيره «يؤمنون به» بالقرآن «ومن هؤلاء» أهل مكة «من يؤمن به وما يجحد بآياتنا» بعد ظهورها «إلا الكافرون» أي اليهود وظهر لهم أن القرآن حق والجائي به محق وجحدوا ذلك.
Yusuf AliAnd thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came), nor art thou (able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted
Saheeh InternationalAnd you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Otherwise the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt
«وما كنت تتلوا من قبله» أي القرآن «من كتاب ولا تخطه بيمينك إذا» أي لو كنت قارئا كتابا «لارتاب» شك «المبطلون» اليهود فيك وقالوا الذي في التوراة أنه أمي لا يقرأ ولا يكتب.
Yusuf AliNay, here are Signs self-evident in the hearts of those endowed with knowledge: and none but the unjust reject Our Signs
Saheeh InternationalRather, the Qur'an is distinct verses [preserved] within the breasts of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our verses except the wrongdoers
«بل هو» أي القرآن الذي جئت به «آيات بينات في صدور الذين أوتوا العلم» أي المؤمنون يحفظونه «وما يجحد بآياتنا إلا الظالمون» أي: اليهود وجحدوها بعد ظهورها لهم.
Yusuf AliYe they say: "Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The signs are indeed with God: and I am indeed a clear Warner
Saheeh InternationalBut they say, "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "The signs are only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner
«وقالوا» أي كفار مكة «لولا» هلا «أنزل عليه» أي محمد «آية من ربه» وفي قراءة آيات كناقة صالح وعصا موسى ومائدة عيسى «قل» لهم «إنما الآيات عند الله» ينزلها كيف يشاء «وإنما أنا نذير مبين» مظهر إنذاري بالنار أهل المعصية.
Yusuf AliAnd is it not enough for them that we have sent down to thee the Book which is rehearsed to them? Verily, in it is Mercy and a Reminder to those who believe
Saheeh InternationalAnd is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and reminder for a people who believe
«أو لم يكفهم» فيما طلبوا «أنَّا أنزلنا عليك الكتاب» القرآن «يتلى عليهم» فهو آية مستمرة لا انقضاء لها بخلاف ما ذكر من الآيات «إن في ذلك» الكتاب «لرحمةً وذكرى» عظة «لقوم يؤمنون».
