Yusuf AliL. M
«الم» الله أعلم بمراده في ذلك.
Saheeh InternationalThe Byzantines have been defeated
Yusuf AliThe Roman Empire has been defeated
«غُلبت الروم» وهم أهل الكتاب غلبتها فارس وليسوا أهل كتاب بل يعبدون الأوثان ففرح كفار مكة بذلك، وقالوا للمسلمين: نحن نغلبكم كما غلبت فارس الروم.
Saheeh InternationalIn the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome
Yusuf AliIn a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious
«في أدنى الأرض» أي أقرب أرض الروم إلى فارس بالجزيرة التقى فيها الجيشان والبادي بالغزو الفرس «وهم» أي الروم «من بعد غلبهم» أضيف المصدر إلى المفعول: أي غلبة فارس إياهم «سيغلبون» فارس.
Saheeh InternationalWithin three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice
Yusuf AliWithin a few years. With God is the Decision, in the past and in the Future: on that Day shall the Believers rejoice
«في بضع سنين» هو ما بين الثلاث إلى التسع أو العشر، فالتقي الجيشان في السنة السابعة من الالتقاء الأول وغلبت الروم فارس «لله الأمر من قبل ومن بعد» أي من قبل غلب الروم ومن بعده المعنى أن غلبة فارس أولا وغلبة الروم ثانيا بأمر الله: أي إرادته «ويومئذٍ» أي يوم تغلب الروم «يفرح المؤمنون».
Saheeh InternationalIn the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Yusuf AliWith the help of God. He helps whom He will, and He is exalted in might, most merciful
«بنصر الله» إياهم على فارس وقد فرحوا بذلك وعلموا به يوم وقوعه أي يوم بدر بنزول جبريل بذلك مع فرحهم بنصرهم على قتل المشركين فيه «ينصر من يشاء وهو العزيز» الغالب «الرحيم» بالمؤمنين».
Saheeh International[It is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know
Yusuf Ali(It is) the promise of God. Never does God depart from His promise: but most men understand not
«وعد الله» مصدر بدل من اللفظ بفعله، والأصل وعدهم الله النصر «لا يخلف الله وعده» به «ولكن أكثر الناس» أي كفار مكة «لا يعلمون» وعده تعالى بنصرهم.
Saheeh InternationalThey know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware
Yusuf AliThey know but the outer (things) in the life of this world: but of the End of things they are heedless
«يعلمون ظاهراً من الحياة الدنيا» أي معايشها من التجارة والزراعة والبناء والغرس وغير ذلك «وهم عن الآخرة هم غافلون» إعادة هم تأكيد.
Saheeh InternationalDo they not contemplate within themselves? Allah has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers
Yusuf AliDo they not reflect in their own minds? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed, did God create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrectio n)
«أَو لم يتفكروا في أنفسهم» ليرجعوا عن غفلتهم «ما خلق الله السماوات والأرض وما بينهما إلا بالحق وأجلٍ مسمى» لذلك تفنى عند انتهائه وبعد البعث «وإن كثيرا من الناس» أي: كفار مكة «بلقاء ربهم لكافرون» أي لا يؤمنون بالبعث بعد الموت.
Saheeh InternationalHave they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed the earth and built it up more than they have built it up, and their messengers came to them with clear evidences. And Allah would not ever have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves
Yusuf AliDo they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their apostles with Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not God Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls
«أوَ لم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كانَ عاقبة الذين من قبلهم» من الأمم وهي إهلاكهم بتكذيبهم رسلهم «كانوا أشد منهم قوة» كعاد وثمود «وأثاروا الأرض» حرثوها وقلبوها للزرع والغرس «وعمَروها أكثر ممّا عمروها» أي كفار مكة «وجاءَتهم رسلهم بالبينات» بالحجج الظاهرات «فما كان الله ليظلمهم» بإهلاكهم بغير جرم «ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون» بتكذيبهم رسلهم.
Saheeh InternationalThen the end of those who did evil was the worst [consequence] because they denied the signs of Allah and used to ridicule them
Yusuf AliIn the long run evil in the extreme will be the End of those who do evil; for that they rejected the Signs of God, and held them up to ridicule
ثم كان عاقبة الذين أساءُوا السُّوأى» تأنيث الأسوأ: الأقبح خبر كان على رفع عاقبة واسم كان على نصب عاقبة، والمراد بها جهنم وإساءتهم «أن» أي: بأن «كذبوا بآيات الله» القرآن «وكانوا بها يستهزءُون».
Saheeh InternationalAllah begins creation; then He will repeat it; then to Him you will be returned
Yusuf AliIt is God Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; then shall ye be brought back to Him
«الله يبدأ الخلق» أي: ينشئ خلق الناس «ثم يعيده» أي خلقهم بعد موتهم «ثم إليه يرجعون» بالياء والتاء.
Saheeh InternationalAnd the Day the Hour appears the criminals will be in despair
Yusuf AliOn the Day that the Hour will be established, the guilty will be struck dumb with despair
«ويوم تقوم الساعة يُبلس المجرمون» يسكت المشركون لانقطاع حجتهم.
Saheeh InternationalAnd there will not be for them among their [alleged] partners any intercessors, and they will [then] be disbelievers in their partners
Yusuf AliNo intercessor will they have among their "Partners" and they will (themselves) reject their "Partners
«ولم يكن» أي لا يكون «لهم من شركائهم» ممن أشركوهم بالله وهم الأصنام ليشفعوا لهم «شفعاء وكانوا» أي: يكونون «بشركائهم كافرين» أي: متبرئين منهم.
Saheeh InternationalAnd the Day the Hour appears - that Day they will become separated
Yusuf AliOn the Day that the Hour will be established,- that Day shall (all men) be sorted out
«ويوم تقوم الساعة يومئذ» تأكيد «يتفرقون» المؤمنون والكافرون.
Saheeh InternationalAnd as for those who had believed and done righteous deeds, they will be in a garden [of Paradise], delighted
Yusuf AliThen those who have believed and worked righteous deeds, shall be made happy in a Mead of Delight
«فأما الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات فهم في روضةٍ» جنة «يحبرون» يسرون.
Saheeh InternationalBut as for those who disbelieved and denied Our verses and the meeting of the Hereafter, those will be brought into the punishment [to remain]
Yusuf AliAnd those who have rejected Faith and falsely denied our Signs and the meeting of the Hereafter,- such shall be brought forth to Punishment
«وأما الذين كفروا وكذبوا بآياتنا» القرآن «ولقاء الآخرة» البعث وغيره «فأولئك في العذاب محضرون».
Saheeh InternationalSo exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning
Yusuf AliSo (give) glory to God, when ye reach eventide and when ye rise in the morning
«فسبحان الله» أي: سبحوا الله بمعنى صلوا «حين تمسون» أي: تدخلون في المساء وفيه صلاتان: المغرب والعشاء «وحين تصبحون» تدخلون في الصباح وفيه صلاة الصبح.
Saheeh InternationalAnd to Him is [due all] praise throughout the heavens and the earth. And [exalted is He] at night and when you are at noon
Yusuf AliYea, to Him be praise, in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline
«وله الحمد في السموات والأرض» اعتراض ومعناه يحمده أهلهما «وعشيا» عطف على حين وفيه صلاة العصر «وحين تظهرون» تدخلون في الظهيرة وفيه صلاة الظهر.
Saheeh InternationalHe brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out
Yusuf AliIt is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead)
«يُخرج الحي من الميت» كالإنسان من النطفة والطائر من البيضة «ويخرج الميت» النطفة والبيضة «من الحي ويحيي الأرض» بالنبات «بعد موتها» أي يبسها «وكذلك» الإخراج «تَخرجون» من القبور بالبناء للفاعل والمفعول.
Saheeh InternationalAnd of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth]
Yusuf AliAmong His Signs in this, that He created you from dust; and then,- behold, ye are men scattered (far and wide)
«ومن آياته» تعالى الدالة على قدرته «أن خلقكم من تراب» أي: أصلكم آدم «ثم إذا أنتم بشر» من دم ولحم «تنتشرون» في الأرض.
Saheeh InternationalAnd of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought
Yusuf AliAnd among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect
«ومن آياته أن خلق لكم من أنفسكم أزواجا» فخلقت حواء من ضلع آدم وسائر الناس من نطف الرجال والنساء «لتسكنوا إليها» وتألفوها «وجعل بينكم» جميعا «مودةً ورحمة إن في ذَلك» المذكور «لآيات لقوم يتفكرون» في صنع الله تعالى.
Saheeh InternationalAnd of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge
Yusuf AliAnd among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know
«ومن آياته خلق السماوات والأرض واختلاف ألسنتكم» أي لغاتكم من عربية وعجمية وغيرها «وألوانكم» من بياض وسواد وغيرهما، وأنتم أولاد رجل واحد وامرأة واحدة «إن في ذلك لآيات» دلالات على قدرته تعالى «للعالمين» بفتح اللام وكسرها، أي: ذوي العقول وأولي العلم.
Saheeh InternationalAnd of His signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen
Yusuf AliAnd among His Signs is the sleep that ye take by night and by day, and the quest that ye (make for livelihood) out of His Bounty: verily in that are signs for those who hearken
«ومن آياته منامكم بالليل والنهار» بإرادته راحة لكم «وابتغاؤكم» بالنهار «من فضله» أي: تصرفكم في طلب المعِيشة بإرادته «إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يسمعون» سماع تدبر واعتبار.
Saheeh InternationalAnd of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that are signs for a people who use reason
Yusuf AliAnd among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope, and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise
«ومن آياته يريكم» أي إراءتكم «البرق خوفا» للمسافر من الصواعق «وطمعا» للمقيم في المطر «وينزل من السماء ماءً فيحيي به الأرض بعد موتها» أي: يبسطها بأن تنبت «إن في ذلك» المذكور «لآيات لقوم يعقلون» يتدبرون.
Saheeh InternationalAnd of His signs is that the heaven and earth remain by His command. Then when He calls you with a [single] call from the earth, immediately you will come forth
Yusuf AliAnd among His Signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by His Command: then when He calls you, by a single call, from the earth, behold, ye (straightway) come forth
«ومن آياته أن تقوم السماء والأرض بأمره» بإرادته من غير عمد «ثم إذا دعاكم دعوة من الأرض» بأن ينفخ إسرافيل في الصور للبعث من القبور «إذا أنتم تخرجون» منها أحياء فخروجكم منها بدعوة من آياته تعالى.
Saheeh InternationalAnd to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and earth. All are to Him devoutly obedient
Yusuf AliTo Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him
«وله من في السماوات والأرض» ملكا وخلقا وعبيدا «كل له قانتون» مطيعون.
Saheeh InternationalAnd it is He who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him. To Him belongs the highest attribute in the heavens and earth. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise
Yusuf AliIt is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy. To Him belongs the loftiest similitude (we can think of) in the heavens and the earth: for He is Exalted in Might, full of wisdom
«وهو الذي يبدأ الخلق» للناس «ثم يعيده» بعد هلاكهم «وهو أهون عليه» من البدء بالنظر إلى ما عند المخاطبين من أن إعادة الشيء أسهل من ابتدائه وإلا فهما عند الله تعالى سواء في السهولة «وله المثل الأعلى في السماوات والأرض» أي: الصفة العليا، وهي أنه لا إله إلا هو «وهو العزيز» في ملكه «الحكيم» في خلقه.
Saheeh InternationalHe presents to you an example from yourselves. Do you have among those whom your right hands possess any partners in what We have provided for you so that you are equal therein [and] would fear them as your fear of one another [within a partnership]? Thus do We detail the verses for a people who use reason
Yusuf AliHe does propound to you a similitude from your own (experience): do ye have partners among those whom your right hands possess, to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each other? Thus do we explain the Signs in detail to a people that understand
«ضرب» جعل «لكم» أيها المشركون «مثلا» كائنا «من أنفسكم» وهو «هل لكم من ما ملكت أيمانكم» أي من مماليككم «من شركاء» لكم «فيما رزقناكم» من الأموال وغيرها «فأنتم» وهم «فيه سواءٌ تخافونهم كخيفتكم أنفسكم» أي أمثالكم من الأحرار والاستفهام بمعنى النفي المعنى: ليس مماليككم شركاء لكم إلى آخره عندكم فكيف تجعلون بعض مماليك الله شركاء له «كذلك نفصِّل الآيات» نبنيها مثل ذلك التفصيل «لقومٍ يعقلون» يتدبرون.
Saheeh InternationalBut those who wrong follow their [own] desires without knowledge. Then who can guide one whom Allah has sent astray? And for them there are no helpers
Yusuf AliNay, the wrong-doers (merely) follow their own lusts, being devoid of knowledge. But who will guide those whom God leaves astray? To them there will be no helpers
«بل اتبع الذين ظلموا» بالإشراك «أهواءَهم بغير علمٍ فمن يهدي من أضل الله» أي: لا هادي له «وما لهم من ناصرين» مانعين من عذاب الله.
Saheeh InternationalSo direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know
Yusuf AliSo set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) God's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by God: that is the standard Religion: but most among manki nd understand not
«فأقم» يا محمد «وجهك للدين حنيفا» مائلا إليه: أي أخلص دينك لله أنت ومن تبعك «فطرتَ الله» خلقته «التي فطر الناس عليها» وهي دينه أي: الزموها «لا تبديل لخلق الله» لدينه أي: لا تبدلوه بأن تشركوا «ذلك الدين القيّم» المستقيم توحيد الله «ولكن أكثر الناس» أي كفار مكة «لا يعلمون» توحيد الله.
Saheeh International[Adhere to it], turning in repentance to Him, and fear Him and establish prayer and do not be of those who associate others with Allah
Yusuf AliTurn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with God
«منيبين» راجعين «إليه» تعالى فيما أمر به ونهى عنه حال من فاعل أقم وما أريد به؛ أي أقيموا «واتقوه» خافوه «وأقيموا الصلاة ولا تكونوا من المشركين».
Saheeh International[Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has
Yusuf AliThose who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself
«من الذين» بدل بإعادة الجار «فرقوا دينهم» باختلافهم فيما يعبدونه «وكانوا شيعاً» فرقاً في ذلك «كل حزبٍ» منهم «بما لديهم» عندهم «فرحون» مسرورون، وفي قراءة فارقوا: أي تركوا دينهم الذي أمروا به.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when adversity touches the people, they call upon their Lord, turning in repentance to Him. Then when He lets them taste mercy from Him, at once a party of them associate others with their Lord
Yusuf AliWhen trouble touches men, they cry to their Lord, turning back to Him in repentance: but when He gives them a taste of Mercy as from Himself, behold, some of them pay part-worship to other god's besides their Lord
«وإذا مسَّ الناس» أي كفار مكة «ضرٌّ» شدة «دعوا ربهم منيبين» راجعين «إليه» دون غيره «ثم إذا أذاقهم منه رحمة» بالمطر «إذا فريقٌ منهم بربهم يشركون».
Saheeh InternationalSo that they will deny what We have granted them. Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know
Yusuf Ali(As if) to show their ingratitude for the (favours) We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy (your brief day); but soon will ye know (your folly)
«ليكفروا بما آتيناهم» أريد به التهديد «فتمتعوا فسوف تعلمون» عاقبة تمتعكم، فيه التفات عن الغيبة.
Saheeh InternationalOr have We sent down to them an authority, and it speaks of what they were associating with Him
Yusuf AliOr have We sent down authority to them, which points out to them the things to which they pay part-worship
«أَم» بمعنى همزة الإنكار «أنزلنا عليهم سلطاناً» حجة وكتاباً «فهو يتكلم» تكلم دلالة «بما كانوا به يشركون» أي يأمرهم بالإشراك! لا.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when We let the people taste mercy, they rejoice therein, but if evil afflicts them for what their hands have put forth, immediately they despair
Yusuf AliWhen We give men a taste of Mercy, they exult thereat: and when some evil afflicts them because of what their (own) hands have sent forth, behold, they are in despair
«وإذا أذقنا الناس» كفار مكة وغيرهم «رحمة» نعمةً «فرحوا بها» فرح بطر «وإن تصبهم سيئة» شدة «بما قدمت أيديهم إذا هم يقنطون» ييأسون من الرحمة ومن شأن المؤمن أن يشكر عند النعمة ويرجو ربه عند الشدة.
Saheeh InternationalDo they not see that Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe
Yusuf AliSee they not that God enlarges the provision and restricts it, to whomsoever He pleases? Verily in that are Signs for those who believe
«اوَ لم يروا» يعلموا «أن الله يبسط الرزق» يوسعه «لمن يشاء» امتحانا «ويقدر» يضيقه لمن يشاء ابتلاءً «إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يؤمنون» بها.
Saheeh InternationalSo give the relative his right, as well as the needy and the traveler. That is best for those who desire the countenance of Allah, and it is they who will be the successful
Yusuf AliSo give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance, of God, and it is they who will prosper
«فآت ذا القربى» القرابة «حقه» من البر والصلة «والمسكين وابن السبيل» المسافر من الصدقة، وأمة النبي تبع له في ذلك «ذلك خير للذين يريدون وجه الله» أي ثوابه بما يعملون «وأولئك هم المفلحون» الفائزون.
Saheeh InternationalAnd whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah. But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of Allah - those are the multipliers
Yusuf AliThat which ye lay out for increase through the property of (other) people, will have no increase with God: but that which ye lay out for charity, seeking the Countenance of God, (will increase): it is these who will get a recompense multiplied
«وما آتيتم من رِبا» بأن يعطي شيء هبة أو هدية ليطلب أكثر منه، فسمي باسم المطلوب من الزيادة في المعاملة «ليربوَ في أموال الناس» المعطين، أي يزيد «فلا يربو» يزكو «عند الله» لا ثواب فيه للمعطين «وما آتيتم من زكاة» صدقة «تريدون» بها «وجه الله فأولئك هم المضعفون» ثوابهم بما أرادوه، فيه التفات عن الخطاب.
Saheeh InternationalAllah is the one who created you, then provided for you, then will cause you to die, and then will give you life. Are there any of your "partners" who does anything of that? Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him
Yusuf AliIt is God Who has created you: further, He has provided for your sustenance; then He will cause you to die; and again He will give you life. Are there any of your (false) "Partners" who can do any single one of these things? Glory to Him! and high is He above the partners they attribute (to him)
«الله الذي خلقكم ثم رزقكم ثم يميتكم ثم يحييكم هل من شركائكم» ممن أشركتم بالله «من يفعل من ذلكم من شيء» لا «سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون» به.
Saheeh InternationalCorruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness]
Yusuf AliMischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (God) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil)
«ظهر الفساد في البر» أي القفار بقحط المطر وقلة النبات «والبحر» أي البلاد التي على الأنهار بقلة مائها «بما كسبت أيدي الناس» من المعاصي «ليذيقهم» بالياء والنون «بعض الذي عملوا» أي عقوبته «لعلهم يرجعون» يتوبون.
Saheeh InternationalSay, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how was the end of those before. Most of them were associators [of others with Allah]
Yusuf AliSay: "Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you): Most of them worshipped others besides God
«قل» لكفار مكة «سيروا في الأرض فانظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبل كان أكثرهم مشركين» فأهلكوا بإشراكهم ومساكنهم ومنازلهم خاوية.
Saheeh InternationalSo direct your face toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided
Yusuf AliBut set thou thy face to the right Religion before there come from God the Day which there is no chance of averting: on that Day shall men be divided (in two)
«فأقم وجهك للدين القيِّم» دين الإسلام «من قبل أن يأتي يوم لا مردَّ له من الله» هو يوم القيامة «يومئذ يصَّدَّعون» فيه إدغام التاء في الأصل في الصاد: يتفرقون بعد الحساب إلى الجنة والنار.
Saheeh InternationalWhoever disbelieves - upon him is [the consequence of] his disbelief. And whoever does righteousness - they are for themselves preparing
Yusuf AliThose who reject Faith will suffer from that rejection: and those who work righteousness will spread their couch (of repose) for themselves (in heaven)
«من كفر فعليه كفره» وبال كفره وهو النار «ومن عمل صالحاً فلأنفسهم يمهدون» يوطئون منازلهم في الجنة.
Saheeh InternationalThat He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds out of His bounty. Indeed, He does not like the disbelievers
Yusuf AliThat He may reward those who believe and work righteous deeds, out of his Bounty. For He loves not those who reject Faith
«ليجزي» متعلق بيصدعون «الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات من فضله» يثيبهم «إنه لا يحب الكافرين» أي يعاقبهم.
Saheeh InternationalAnd of His signs is that He sends the winds as bringers of good tidings and to let you taste His mercy and so the ships may sail at His command and so you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful
Yusuf AliAmong His Signs is this, that He sends the Winds, as heralds of Glad Tidings, giving you a taste of His (Grace and) Mercy,- that the ships may sail (majestically) by His Command and that ye may seek of His Bounty: in order that ye may be grate ful
«ومن آياته» تعالى «أن يرسل الرياح مبشرات» بمعنى لتبشركم بالمطر «وليذيقكم» بها «من رحمته» المطر والخصب «ولتجري الفلك» السفن بها «بأمره» بإرادته «ولتبتغوا» تطلبوا «من فضله» الرزق بالتجارة في البحر «ولعلكم تشكرون» هذه النعم يا أهل مكة فتوحدوه.
Saheeh InternationalAnd We have already sent messengers before you to their peoples, and they came to them with clear evidences; then We took retribution from those who committed crimes, and incumbent upon Us was support of the believers
Yusuf AliWe did indeed send, before thee, apostles to their (respective) peoples, and they came to them with Clear Signs: then, to those who transgressed, We meted out Retribution: and it was due from Us to aid those who believed
ولقد أرسلنا من قبلك رسلاً إلى قومهم فجاؤوهم بالبينات» بالحجج الواضحات على صدقهم في رسالتهم إليهم فكذبوهم «فانتقمنا من الذين أجرموا» أهلكنا الذين كذبوهم «وكان حقاً علينا نصر المؤمنين» على الكافرين بإهلاكهم وإنجاء المؤمنين.
Saheeh InternationalIt is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice
Yusuf AliIt is God Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does He spread them in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments, until thou seest rain-drops issue from the midst thereof: then when He has made them reach such of his se rvants as He wills behold, they do rejoice
«الله الذي يرسل الرياح فتثير سحابا» تزعجه «فيبسطه في السماء كيف يشاء» من قلة وكثرة «ويجعله كسفا» بفتح السين وسكونها قطعا متفرقة «فترى الودق» المطر «يخرج من خلاله» أي وسطه «فإذا أصاب به» بالودق «من يشاء من عباده إذا هم يستبشرون» يفرحون بالمطر.
Saheeh InternationalAlthough they were, before it was sent down upon them - before that, in despair
Yusuf AliEven though, before they received (the rain) - just before this - they were dumb with despair
«وإن» وقد «كانوا من قبل أن يُنزَّل عليهم من قبله» تأكيد «لمبلسين» آيسين من إنزاله.
Saheeh InternationalSo observe the effects of the mercy of Allah - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, that [same one] will give life to the dead, and He is over all things competent
Yusuf AliThen contemplate (O man!) the memorials of God's Mercy!- how He gives life to the earth after its death: verily the same will give life to the men who are dead: for He has power over all things
«فانظر إلى أثر» وفي قراءة آثار «رحمة الله» أي نعمته بالمطر «كيف يحيي الأرض بعد موتها» أي يبسها بأن تنبت «إن ذلك لمحيي الموتى وهو على كل شيءٍ قدير».
Saheeh InternationalBut if We should send a [bad] wind and they saw [their crops] turned yellow, they would remain thereafter disbelievers
Yusuf AliAnd if We (but) send a Wind from which they see (their tilth) turn yellow,- behold, they become, thereafter, Ungrateful (Unbelievers)
«ولئن» لام قسم «أرسلنا ريحا» مضرة على نبات «فرأوهُ مصفرا لظلوا» صاروا جواب القسم «من بعده» أي بعد إصفراره «يكفرون» يجحدون النعمة بالمطر.
Saheeh InternationalSo indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating
Yusuf AliSo verily thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they show their backs and turn away
«فإنك لا تُسمع الموتى ولا تُسمع الصم الدعاء إذا» بتحقيق الهمزتين وتسهيل الثانية بينها وبين الياء «ولَّوْا مدبرين».
Saheeh InternationalAnd you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [in submission to Allah]
Yusuf AliNor canst thou lead back the blind from their straying: only those wilt thou make to hear, who believe in Our signs and submit (their wills in Islam)
«وما أنت بهادِ العمي عن ضلالتهم إن» ما «تُسمع» سماع إفهام وقبول «إلا من يؤمن بآياتنا» القرآن «فهم مسلمون» مخلصون بتوحيد الله.
Saheeh InternationalAllah is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent
Yusuf AliIt is God Who created you in a state of (helpless) weakness, then gave (you) strength after weakness, then, after strength, gave (you weakness and a hoary head: He creates as He wills, and it is He Who has all knowledge and power)
«الله الذي خلقكم من ضعف» ماء مهين «ثم جعل من بعد ضعف» آخر، وهو ضعف الطفولية «قوةً» أي قوة الشباب «ثم من بعد قوةٍ ضعفاً وشيبةً» ضعف الكبر وشيب الهرم والضعف في الثلاثة بضم أوله وفتحه «يخلق ما يشاء» من الضعف والقوة والشباب والشيبة «وهو العليم» بتدبير خلقه «القدير» على ما يشاء.
Saheeh InternationalAnd the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded
