Juz 28
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! When the call is heard for the prayer of the day of congregation, haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your trading. That is better for you if ye did but know.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBut when they spy some merchandise or pastime they break away to it and leave thee standing. Say: That which Allah hath is better than pastime and than merchandise, and Allah is the Best of providers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhen the hypocrites come unto thee (O Muhammad), they say: We bear witness that thou art indeed Allah's messenger. And Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the hypocrites indeed are speaking falsely.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey make their faith a pretext so that they may turn (men) from the way of Allah. Verily evil is that which they are wont to do,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThat is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed so that they understand not.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd when thou seest them their figures please thee; and if they speak thou givest ear unto their speech. (They are) as though they were blocks of wood in striped cloaks. They deem every shout to be against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah confound them! How they are perverted!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you! they avert their faces and thou seest them turning away, disdainful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallWhether thou ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them is all one for them; Allah will not forgive them. Lo! Allah guideth not the evil-living folk.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThey say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! Let not your wealth nor your children distract you from remembrance of Allah. Those who do so, they are the losers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd spend of that wherewith We have provided you before death cometh unto one of you and he saith: My Lord! If only thou wouldst reprieve me for a little while, then I would give alms and be among the righteous.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBut Allah reprieveth no soul when its term cometh, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAll that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah; unto Him belongeth Sovereignty and unto Him belongeth praise, and He is Able to do all things.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHe it is Who created you, but one of you is a disbeliever and one of you is a believer, and Allah is Seer of what ye do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHe created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He shaped you and made good your shapes, and unto Him is the journeying.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHe knoweth all that is in the heavens and the earth, and He knoweth what ye conceal and what ye publish. And Allah is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men).
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallHath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of old and so did taste the ill-effects of their conduct, and theirs will be a painful doom.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThat was because their messengers (from Allah) kept coming unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they said: Shall mere mortals guide us? So they disbelieved and turned away, and Allah was independent (of them). Allah is Absolute, Owner of Praise.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThose who disbelieve assert that they will not be raised again. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Yea, verily, by my Lord! ye will be raised again and then ye will be informed of what ye did; and that is easy for Allah.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSo believe in Allah and His messenger and the light which We have revealed. And Allah is Informed of what ye do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThe day when He shall gather you unto the Day of Assembling, that will be a day of mutual disillusion. And whoso believeth in Allah and doeth right, He will remit from him his evil deeds and will bring him unto Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallBut those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, such are owners of the Fire; they will abide therein - a hapless journey's end!
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallNo calamity befalleth save by Allah's leave. And whosoever believeth in Allah, He guideth his heart. And Allah is Knower of all things.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallObey Allah and obey His messenger; but if ye turn away, then the duty of Our messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAllah! There is no God save Him. In Allah, therefore, let believers put their trust.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO ye who believe! Lo! among your wives and your children there are enemies for you, therefor beware of them. And if ye efface and overlook and forgive, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallYour wealth and your children are only a temptation, whereas Allah! with Him is an immense reward.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallSo keep your duty to Allah as best ye can, and listen, and obey, and spend; that is better for your souls. And whoso is saved from his own greed, such are the successful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallIf ye lend unto Allah a goodly loan, He will double it for you and will forgive you, for Allah is Responsive, Clement,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallKnower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Mighty, the Wise.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallO Prophet! When ye (men) put away women, put them away for their (legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to Allah, your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah; and whoso transgresseth Allah's limits, he verily wrongeth his soul. Thou knowest not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to pass.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThen, when they have reached their term, take them back in kindness or part from them in kindness, and call to witness two just men among you, and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso believeth in Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for him,
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd will provide for him from (a quarter) whence he hath no expectation. And whosoever putteth his trust in Allah, He will suffice him. Lo! Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah hath set a measure for all things.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAnd for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallThat is the commandment of Allah which He revealeth unto you. And whoso keepeth his duty to Allah, He will remit from him his evil deeds and magnify reward for him.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLodge them where ye dwell, according to your wealth, and harass them not so as to straiten life for them. And if they are with child, then spend for them till they bring forth their burden. Then, if they give suck for you, give them their due payment and consult together in kindness; but if ye make difficulties for one another, then let some other woman give suck for him (the father of the child).
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLet him who hath abundance spend of his abundance, and he whose provision is measured, let him spend of that which Allah hath given him. Allah asketh naught of any soul save that which He hath given it. Allah will vouchsafe, after hardship, ease.
