Juz 24
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein - Such are the dutiful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey shall have what they will of their Lord's bounty. That is the reward of the good:
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThat Allah will remit from them the worst of what they did, and will pay them for reward the best they used to do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWill not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd he whom Allah guideth, for him there can be no misleader. Is not Allah Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong)?
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd verily, if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay: O my people! Act in your manner. Lo! I (too) am acting. Thus ye will come to know
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWho it is unto whom cometh a doom that will abase him, and on whom there falleth everlasting doom.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder over them.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAllah receiveth (men's) souls at the time of their death, and that (soul) which dieth not (yet) in its sleep. He keepeth that (soul) for which He hath ordained death and dismisseth the rest till an appointed term. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallOr choose they intercessors other than Allah? Say: What! Even though they have power over nothing and have no intelligence?
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay: Unto Allah belongeth all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. And afterward unto Him ye will be brought back.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are repelled, and when those (whom they worship) beside Him are mentioned, behold! they are glad.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay: O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! Thou wilt judge between Thy slaves concerning that wherein they used to differ.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd though those who do wrong possess all that is in the earth, and therewith as much again, they verily will seek to ransom themselves therewith on the Day of Resurrection from the awful doom; and there will appear unto them, from their Lord, that wherewith they never reckoned.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd the evils that they earned will appear unto them, and that whereat they used to scoff will surround them.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallNow when hurt toucheth a man he crieth unto Us, and afterward when We have granted him a boon from Us, he saith: Only by force of knowledge I obtained it. Nay, but it is a test. But most of them know not.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThose before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not;
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBut the evils that they earned smote them; and such of these as do wrong, the evils that they earn will smite them; they cannot escape.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallKnow they not that Allah enlargeth providence for whom He will, and straiteneth it (for whom He will). Lo! herein verily are portents for people who believe.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay: O My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallTurn unto your Lord repentant, and surrender unto Him, before there come unto you the doom, when ye cannot be helped.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd follow the better (guidance) of that which is revealed unto you from your Lord, before the doom cometh on you suddenly when ye know not,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLest any soul should say: Alas, my grief that I was unmindful of Allah, and I was indeed among the scoffers!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallOr should say: If Allah had but guided me I should have been among the dutiful!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallOr should say, when it seeth the doom: Oh, that I had but a second chance that I might be among the righteous!
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall(But now the answer will be): Nay, for My revelations came unto thee, but thou didst deny them and wast scornful and wast among the disbelievers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd on the Day of Resurrection thou (Muhammad) seest those who lied concerning Allah with their faces blackened. Is not the home of the scorners in hell?
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd Allah delivereth those who ward off (evil) because of their deserts. Evil toucheth them not, nor do they grieve.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAllah is Creator of all things, and He is Guardian over all things.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHis are the keys of the heavens and the earth, and they who disbelieve the revelations of Allah - such are they who are the losers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSay (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Do ye bid me serve other than Allah? O ye fools!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd verily it hath been revealed unto thee as unto those before thee (saying): If thou ascribe a partner to Allah thy work will fail and thou indeed wilt be among the losers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallNay, but Allah must thou serve, and be among the thankful!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him).
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd the trumpet is blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth swoon away, save him whom Allah willeth. Then it is blown a second time, and behold them standing waiting!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd the earth shineth with the light of her Lord, and the Book is set up, and the prophets and the witnesses are brought, and it is judged between them with truth, and they are not wronged.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd each soul is paid in full for what it did. And He is Best Aware of what they do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops till, when they reach it and the gates thereof are opened, and the warders thereof say unto them: Came there not unto you messengers of your own, reciting unto you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this your Day? they say: Yea, verily. But the word of doom of disbelievers is fulfilled.
