39. Az-Zumar سُورَةُ الزُّمَرِ
Saheeh InternationalThe revelation of the Qur'an is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise
Yusuf AliThe revelation of this Book is from God, the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom
«تنزيل الكتاب» القرآن مبتدأ «من الله» خبره «العزيز» في ملكه «الحكيم» في صنعه.
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muhammad], in truth. So worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion
Yusuf AliVerily it is We Who have revealed the Book to thee in Truth: so serve God, offering Him sincere devotion
«إنا أنزلنا إليك» يا محمد «الكتاب بالحق» متعلق بأنزل «فاعبد الله مخلصا له الدين» من الشرك: أي موحدا له.
Saheeh InternationalUnquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever
Yusuf AliIs it not to God that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than God (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to God." Truly God will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But God g uides not such as are false and ungrateful
«ألا الله الدين الخالص» لا يستحقه غيره «والذين اتخذوا من دونه» الأصنام «أولياء» وهم كفار مكة قالوا «ما نعبدهم إلا ليقربونا إلى الله زلفى» قربى مصدر بمعنى تقريبا «إن الله يحكم بينهم» وبين المسلمين «في ما هم فيه يختلفون» من أمر الدين فيدخل المؤمنين الجنة، والكافرين النار «إن الله لا يهدي من هو كاذب» في نسبة الولد إليه «كفار» بعبادته غيره الله.
Saheeh InternationalIf Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing
Yusuf AliHad God wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is God, the One, the Irresistible
«لو أراد الله أن يتخذ ولدا» كما قالوا: (اتخذ الرحمن ولدا) «لاصطفى مما يخلق ما يشاء» واتخذه ولدا غير من قالوا الملائكة بنات الله وعزير ابن الله والمسيح ابن الله «سبحانه» تنزيها له عن اتخاذ الولد «هو الله الواحد القهار» لخلقه.
Saheeh InternationalHe created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver
Yusuf AliHe created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Ex alted in Power - He Who forgives again and again
«خلق السماوات والأرض بالحق» متعلق بخلق «يكوّر» يدخل «الليل على النهار» فيزيد «ويكور النهار» يدخله «على الليل» فيزيد «وسخَّر الشمس والقمر كل يجري» في فلكه «لأجل مسمى» ليوم القيامة «ألا هو العزيز» الغالب على أمره المنتقم من أعدائه «الغفار» لأوليائه.
Saheeh InternationalHe created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted
Yusuf AliHe created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. suc h is God, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)
«خلقكم من نفس واحدة» أي آدم «ثم جعل منها زوجها» حواء «وأنزل لكم من الأنعام» الإبل والبقر والغنم الضأن والمعز «ثمانية أزواج» من كلٍ زوجان ذكر وأنثى كما بيّن في سورة الأنعام «يخلقكم في بطون أمهاتكم خلقا من بعد خلق» أي نطفا ثم علقا ثم مضغا «في ظلمات ثلاث» هي ظلمة البطن وظلمة الرحم وظلمة المشيمة «ذلكم الله ربكم له الملك لا إله هو فأنَّى تصرفون» عن عبادته إلى عبادة غيره.
Saheeh InternationalIf you disbelieve - indeed, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts
Yusuf AliIf ye reject (God), Truly God hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for He knoweth well all that is in (men's) hearts
«إن تكفروا فإن الله غنيٌ عنكم ولا يرضى لعباده الكفر» وإن أراده من بعضهم «وإن تشكروا» الله فتؤمنوا «يرضه» بسكون الهاء وضمها مع إشباع ودونه: أي الشكر «لكم ولا تزر» نفس «وازرة وزر» نفس «أخرى» أي لا تحمله «ثم إلى ربكم مرجعكم فينبئكم بما كنتم تعملون إنه عليم بذات الصدور» بما في القلوب.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire
Yusuf AliWhen some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto God, thus mis leading others from God's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire
«وإذا مسَّ الإنسان» أي الكافر «ضرٌ دعا ربه» تضرَّع «منيبا» راجعا «إليه ثم إذا خوّله نعمة» أعطاه إنعاما «منه نسيَ» ترك «ما كان يدعو» يتضرّع «إليه من قبل» وهو الله، فما في موضع من «وجعل الله أندادا» شركاء «ليضل» بفتح الياء وضمها «عن سبيله» دين الإسلام «قل تمتع بكفرك قليلا» بقية أجلك «إنك من أصحاب النار».
Saheeh InternationalIs one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding
Yusuf AliIs one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the Mercy of his Lord - (like one who does not)? Say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition
«أمَّن» بتخفيف الميم «هو قانت» قائم بوظائف الطاعات «آناء الليل» ساعاته «ساجدا وقائما» في الصلاة «يحذر الآخرة» أي يخاف عذابها «ويرجو رحمة» جنة «ربه» كمن هو عاص بالكفر أو غيره، وفي قراءة أم من فأم بمعنى بل والهمزة «قل هل يستوي الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون» أي لا يستويان كما لا يستوي العالم والجاهل «إنما يتذكر» يتعظ «أولوا الألباب» أصحاب العقول.
Saheeh InternationalSay, "O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account
Yusuf AliSay: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is God's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure
«قل يا عباد الذين آمنوا اتقوا ربكم» أي عذابه بأن تطيعوه «للذين أحسنوا في هذه الدنيا» بالطاعة «حسنة» هي الجنة «وأرض الله واسعة» فهاجروا إليها من بين الكفار ومشاهدة المنكرات «إنما يوفى الصابرون» على الطاعة وما يبتلون به «أجرهم بغير حساب» بغير مكيال ولا ميزان.
Saheeh InternationalSay, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion
Yusuf AliSay: "Verily, I am commanded to serve God with sincere devotion
«قل إني أمرت أن أعبد الله مخلصا له الدين» من الشرك.
Saheeh InternationalAnd I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims
Yusuf AliAnd I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to God in Islam
«وأمرت لأن» أي بأن «أكون أول المسلمين» من هذه الأمة.
Saheeh InternationalSay, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day
Yusuf AliSay: "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the Penalty of a Mighty Day
«قل إني أخاف إن عصيت ربي عذاب يوم عظيم».
Saheeh InternationalSay, "Allah [alone] do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion
Yusuf AliSay: "It is God I serve, with my sincere (and exclusive) devotion
«قل الله أعبد مخلصا له ديني» من الشرك.
Saheeh InternationalSo worship what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss
Yusuf AliServe ye what ye will besides him." Say: "Truly, those in loss are those who lose their own souls and their People on the Day of Judgment: Ah! that is indeed the (real and) evident Loss
«فاعبدوا ما شئتم من دونه» غيره، فيه تهديد لهم وإيذان بأنهم لا يعبدون الله تعالى «قل إن الخاسرين الذين خسروا أنفسهم وأهليهم يوم القيامة» بتخليد الأنفس في النار وبعدم وصولهم إلى الحور المعدَّة لهم في الجنة لو آمنوا «ألا ذلك هو الخسران المبين» البيَّن.
Saheeh InternationalThey will have canopies of fire above them and below them, canopies. By that Allah threatens His servants. O My servants, then fear Me
Yusuf AliThey shall have Layers of Fire above them, and Layers (of Fire) below them: with this doth God warn off his servants: "O My Servants! then fear ye Me
«لهم من فوقهم ظلل» طباق «من النار ومن تحتهم ظلل» من النار «ذلك يخوِّف الله به عباده» أي المؤمنين ليتقوه يدل عليه «يا عباد فاتقون».
Saheeh InternationalBut those who have avoided Taghut, lest they worship it, and turned back to Allah - for them are good tidings. So give good tidings to My servants
Yusuf AliThose who eschew Evil,- and fall not into its worship,- and turn to God (in repentance),- for them is Good News: so announce the Good News to My Servants
«والذين اجتنبوا الطاغوت» الأوثان «أن يعبدوها وأنابوا» أقبلوا «إلى الله لهم البشرى» بالجنة «فبشر عباد».
Saheeh InternationalWho listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allah has guided, and those are people of understanding
Yusuf AliThose who listen to the Word, and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are the ones whom God has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding
«الذين يستمعون القول فيتبعون أحسنه» وهو ما فيه صلاحهم «أولئك الذين هداهم الله وأولئك هم أولوا الألباب» أصحاب العقول.
Saheeh InternationalThen, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire
Yusuf AliIs, then, one against whom the decree of Punishment is justly due (equal to one who eschews Evil)? Wouldst thou, then, deliver one (who is) in the Fire
«أفمن حق عليه كلمة العذاب» أي: (لأملأن جهنم) «أفأنت تنقذ» تخرج «من في النار» جواب الشرط وأقيم فيه الظاهر مقام المضمر والهمزة للإنكار، والمعنى لا تقدر على هدايته فتنقذه من النار.
Saheeh InternationalBut those who have feared their Lord - for them are chambers, above them chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. [This is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in [His] promise
Yusuf AliBut it is for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one above another, have been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight): (such is) the Promise of God: never doth God fail in (His) promise
«لكن الذين اتقوْا ربهم» بأن أطاعوه «لهم غرف من فوقها غرف مبنية تجري من تحتها الأنهار» أي من تحت الغرف الفوقانية والتحتانية «وعد الله» منصوب بفعله المقَّدر «لا يخلف الله الميعاد» وعده.
Saheeh InternationalDo you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding
Yusuf AliSeest thou not that God sends down rain from the sky, and leads it through springs in the earth? Then He causes to grow, therewith, produce of various colours: then it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then He makes it dry up and crumble away. Truly, in this, is a Message of remembrance to men of understanding
«ألم تر» تعلم «أن الله أنزل من السماء ماءً فسلكه ينابيع» أدخله أمكنة نبع «في الأرض ثم يخرج به زرعا مختلفا ألوانه ثم يهيج» ييبس «فتراه» بعد الخضرة مثلا «مصفرا ثم يجعله حطاما» فتاتا «إن في ذلك لذكرى» تذكيرا «لأولي الألباب» يتذكرون به لدلالته على وحدانية الله تعالى وقدرته.
Saheeh InternationalSo is one whose breast Allah has expanded to [accept] Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah. Those are in manifest error
Yusuf AliIs one whose heart God has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from God, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of God! they are manifestly wandering (in err or)
«أفمن شرح الله صدره للإسلام» فاهتدى «فهو على نور من ربه» كمن طبع على قلبه، دلَّ على هذا «فويلٌ» كلمة عذاب «للقاسية قلوبهم من ذكر الله» أي عن قبول القرآن «أولئك في ضلال مبين» بيّن.
Saheeh InternationalAllah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide
Yusuf AliGod has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of God's praises. Such is the guidance of God: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as God leaves to stray, can have none to guide
«الله نزَّل أحسن الحديث كتابا» بدل من أحسن، أي قرآنا «متشابها» أي يشبه بعضه بعضا في النظم وغيره «مثانَي» ثني فيه الوعد والوعيد وغيرهما «تقشعر منه» ترتعد عند ذكره وعيده «جلود الذين يخشوْن» «يخافون ربهم ثم تلين» تطمئن «جلودهم وقلوبهم إلى ذكر الله» أي عند ذكر وعده «ذلك» أي الكتاب «هدى الله يهدي به من يشاء ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد».
Saheeh InternationalThen is he who will shield with his face the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection [like one secure from it]? And it will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste what you used to earn
Yusuf AliIs, then, one who has to fear the brunt of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment (and receive it) on his face, (like one guarded therefrom)? It will be said to the wrong- doers: "Taste ye (the fruits of) what ye earned
«أفمن يتقي» يلقى «بوجهه سوء العذاب يوم القيامة» أي أشده بأن يلقى في النار مغلولة يداه إلى عنقه كمن أمن منه بدخول الجنة «وقيل للظالمين» أي كفار مكة «ذوقوا ما كنتم تكسبون» أي جزاءَه.
Saheeh InternationalThose before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive
Yusuf AliThose before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive
«كذَّب الذين من قبلهم» رسلهم في إتيان العذاب «فأتاهم العذاب من حيث لا يشعرون» من جهة لا تخطر ببالهم.
Saheeh InternationalSo Allah made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew
Yusuf AliSo God gave them a taste of humiliation in the present life, but greater is the punishment of the Hereafter, if they only knew
«فأذاقهم الله الخزي» الذل والهوان من المسخ والقتل وغيره «في الحياة الدنيا ولعذاب الآخرة أكبر لو كانوا» أي المكذبون «يعلمون» عذابها ما كذبوا.
Saheeh InternationalAnd We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example - that they might remember
Yusuf AliWe have put forth for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable, in order that they may receive admonition
«ولقد ضربنا» جعلنا «للناس في هذا القرآن من كل مثل لعلهم يتذكرون» يتعظون.
Saheeh International[It is] an Arabic Qur'an, without any deviance that they might become righteous
Yusuf Ali(It is) a Qur'an in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard against Evil
«قرآنا عربيا» حال مؤكدة «غير ذي عوج» أي لبس واختلاف «لعلهم يتقون» الكفر.
Saheeh InternationalAllah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them do not know
Yusuf AliGod puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to God! but most of them have no knowledge
«ضرب الله» للمشرك والموحِّد «مثلا رجلا» بدل من مثلا «فيه شركاء متشاكسون» متنازعون سيئة أخلاقهم «ورجلا سالما» خالصا «لرجل هل يستويان مثلا» تميز أي لا يستوي العبد بجماعه والعبد لواحد، فإن الأول إذا طلب منه كل من مالكيه خدمته في وقت واحد تحيَّر فيمن يخدمه منهم وهذا مثل للمشرك، والثاني مثل للموحّد «الحمد لله» وحده «بل أكثرهم» أي أهل مكة «لا يعلمون» ما يصيرون إليه من العذاب فيشركون.
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die
Yusuf AliTruly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day)
«إنك» خطاب للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم «ميت وإنهم ميتون» ستموت ويموتون فلا شماتة بالموت، نزلت لما استبطؤوا موته صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Saheeh InternationalThen indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute
Yusuf AliIn the end will ye (all), on the Day of Judgment, settle your disputes in the presence of your Lord
«ثم إنكم» أيها الناس فيما بينكم من المظالم «يوم القيامة عند ربكم تختصمون».
Saheeh InternationalSo who is more unjust than one who lies about Allah and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a residence for the disbelievers
Yusuf AliWho, then, doth more wrong than one who utters a lie concerning God, and rejects the Truth when it comes to him; is there not in Hell an abode for blasphemers
«فمن» أي لا أحد «أظلم ممن كذب على الله» بنسبة الشريك والولد إليه «وكذَّب بالصدق» بالقرآن «إذ جاءه أليس في جهنم مثوىً» مأوى «للكافرين» بلى.
Saheeh InternationalAnd the one who has brought the truth and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous
Yusuf AliAnd he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - such are the men who do right
«والذى جاء بالصدق» هو النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم «وصدق به» هم المؤمنون فالذي بمعنى الذين «أولئك هم المتقون» الشرك.
Saheeh InternationalThey will have whatever they desire with their Lord. That is the reward of the doers of good
Yusuf AliThey shall have all that they wish for, in the presence of their Lord: such is the reward of those who do good
«لهم ما يشاءون عند ربهم ذلك جزاء المحسنين» لأنفسهم بإيمانهم.
Saheeh InternationalThat Allah may remove from them the worst of what they did and reward them their due for the best of what they used to do
Yusuf AliSo that God will turn off from them (even) the worst in their deeds and give them their reward according to the best of what they have done
«ليكفّر الله عنهم أسوأ الذي عملوا ويجزيهم أجرهم بأحسن الذي كانوا يعملون» أسوأ وأحسن بمعنى السيء والحسن.
Saheeh InternationalIs not Allah sufficient for His Servant [Prophet Muhammad]? And [yet], they threaten you with those [they worship] other than Him. And whoever Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide
Yusuf AliIs not God enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides Him! for such as God leaves to stray, there can be no guide
«أليس الله بكاف عبده» أي النبي، بلى «ويخوّفونك» الخطاب له «بالذين من دونه» أي الأصنام، أن تقتله أو تخبله «ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد».
Saheeh InternationalAnd whoever Allah guides - for him there is no misleader. Is not Allah Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution
Yusuf AliAnd such as God doth guide there can be none to lead astray. Is not God Exalted in Power, (Able to enforce His Will), Lord of Retribution
«ومن يهد الله فما له من مضلِّ أليس الله بعزيز» غالب على أمره «ذي انتقام» من أعدائه؟ بلى.
Saheeh InternationalAnd if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allah." Say, "Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? If Allah intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allah; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers
Yusuf AliIf indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "God". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides God,- can they, if God wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wi lls some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is God for me! In Him trust those who put their trust
«ولئن» لام قسم «سألتهم من خلق السماوات والأرض ليقولنَّ الله قل أفرأيتم ما تدعون» تعبدون «من دون الله» أي الأصنام «إن أرادني الله بضرِّ هل هن كاشفات ضرَّه» لا «أو أرادني برحمة هل هن ممسكاتٌ رحمتَه» لا، وفي قراءة بالإضافة فيهما «قل حسبيَ الله عليه يتوكل المتوكلون» يثق الواثقون.
Saheeh InternationalSay, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know
Yusuf AliSay: "O my People! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): but soon will ye know
«قل يا قوم اعملوا على مكانتكم» حالتكم «إني عامل» على حالتي «فسوف تعلمون».
Saheeh InternationalTo whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment
Yusuf AliWho it is to whom comes a Penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that abides
«من» موصولة مفعول العلم «يأتيه عذاب يخزيه ويحل» ينزل «عليه عذاب مقيم» دائم هو عذاب النار، وقد أخزاهم الله ببدر.
Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided - it is for [the benefit of] his soul; and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment. And you are not a manager over them
Yusuf AliVerily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs
«إنا أنزلنا عليك الكتاب للناس بالحق» متعلق بأنزل «فمن اهتدى فلنفسه» اهتداؤه «ومن ضل فإنما يضل عليها وما أنت عليهم بوكيل» فتجبرهم على الهدى.
Saheeh InternationalAllah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought
Yusuf AliIt is God that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect
«الله يتوفى الأنفس حين موتها و» يتوفى «التي لم تمت في منامها» أي يتوفاها وقت النوم «فيمسك التي قضى عليها الموت ويرسل الأخرى إلى أجل مسمى» أي وقت موتها والمرسلة نفس التمييز تبقى بدونها نفس الحياة بخلاف العكس «إن في ذلك» المذكور «لآيات» دلالات. «لقوم يتفكرون» فيعلمون أن القادر على ذلك، قادر على البعث، وقريش لم يتفكروا في ذلك.
Saheeh InternationalOr have they taken other than Allah as intercessors? Say, "Even though they do not possess [power over] anything, nor do they reason
Yusuf AliWhat! Do they take for intercessors others besides God? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence
«أم» بل «اتخذوا من دون الله» أي الأصنام آلهة «شفعاء» عن الله بزعمهم «قل» لهم «أ» يشفعون «ولو كانوا لا يملكون شيئا» من الشفاعة وغيرها «ولا يعقلون» أنكم تعبدونهم ولا غير ذلك؟ لا.
Saheeh InternationalSay, "To Allah belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you will be returned
Yusuf AliSay: "To God belongs exclusively (the right to grant) intercession: to Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: In the End, it is to Him that ye shall be brought back
«قل لله الشفاعة جميعا» أي هو مختص بها فلا يشفع أحد إلا بإذنه «له ملك السماوات والأرض ثم إليه ترجعون».
Saheeh InternationalAnd when Allah is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice
Yusuf AliWhen God, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy
«وإذا ذكر الله وحده» أي دون آلهتهم «اشمأزَّت» نفرت وانقبضت «قلوب الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة وإذا ذكر الذين من دونه» أي الأصنام «إذا هم يستبشرون».
Saheeh InternationalSay, "O Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You will judge between your servants concerning that over which they used to differ
Yusuf AliSay: "O God! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! it is Thou that wilt judge between Thy Servants in those matters about which they have differed
«قل اللهم» بمعنى يا الله «فاطر السماوات والأرض» مبدعهما «عالم الغيب والشهادة» ما غاب وما شوهد «أنت تحكم بين عبادك فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون» من أمر الدين اهدني لما اختلفوا فيه من الحق.
Saheeh InternationalAnd if those who did wrong had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby from the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection. And there will appear to them from Allah that which they had not taken into account
Yusuf AliEven if the wrong-doers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment: but something will confront them from God, which they could never have coun ted upon
«ولو أن للذين ظلموا ما في الأرض جميعا ومثله معه لافتدوا به من سوء العذاب يوم القيامة وبدا» ظهر «لهم من الله ما لم يكونوا يحتسبون» يظنون.
Saheeh InternationalAnd there will appear to them the evils they had earned, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule
Yusuf AliFor the evils of their Deeds will confront them, and they will be (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at
«وبدا لهم سيئات ما كسبوا وحاق» نزل «بهم ما كانوا به يستهزءُون» أي العذاب.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know
Yusuf AliNow, when trouble touches man, he cries to Us: But when We bestow a favour upon him as from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge (I have)!" Nay, but this is but a trial, but most of them understand not
«فإذا مسَّ الإنسان» الجنس «ضر دعانا ثم إذا خوّلناه» أعطيناه «نعمة» إنعاما «منا قال إنما أوتيته على علم» من الله بأني له أهل «بل هي» أي القولة «فتنة» بلية يبتلى بها العبد «ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون» أي التخويل استدراج وامتحان.
Saheeh InternationalThose before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn
Yusuf AliThus did the (generations) before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them
«قد قالها الذين من قبلهم» من الأمم كقارون وقومه الراضين بها «فما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون».
