Translation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an - English Translation - Abdullah Hasan Yaqoub * - Translations’ Index
وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَكَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبۡلَ ٱلۡحَسَنَةِ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِمُ ٱلۡمَثُلَٰتُۗ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغۡفِرَةٖ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلۡمِهِمۡۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ
6. They ask you (Muhammad) to hasten the evil before the good, while there has already passed away even before them exemplary punishments (which they now make jest of). Indeed, your Lord (Allāh) is Full of Forgiveness for the people - despite their evildoing; and indeed your Lord is surely Severe in punishment.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓۗ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرٞۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَوۡمٍ هَادٍ
7. Those who disbelieve 'in the Truth' say: "Why has not a miracle been sent down upon him from his Lord?" You (Muhammad) are only a warner; and for every people is a guide.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
ٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَحۡمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ ٱلۡأَرۡحَامُ وَمَا تَزۡدَادُۚ وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٍ عِندَهُۥ بِمِقۡدَارٍ
8. Allāh knows what every female bears, and that of which the wombs fall short of completion and that in which they increase. Everything with Him has a due measure.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ ٱلۡمُتَعَالِ
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
سَوَآءٞ مِّنكُم مَّنۡ أَسَرَّ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ وَمَن جَهَرَ بِهِۦ وَمَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡتَخۡفِۭ بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَسَارِبُۢ بِٱلنَّهَارِ
10. It is all the same (to Him) whether any of you keeps secret the speech or speak openly, and whether one is hidden by night or conspicuous by day-time.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَٰتٞ مِّنۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦ يَحۡفَظُونَهُۥ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوۡمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمۡۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوۡمٖ سُوٓءٗا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ
11. For each one there are successive (angels) before and behind him who guard and protect him by Allah’s Command⁴. Indeed, Allāh does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. When Allāh intends harm for a people, there is no averting it, and besides Him they have no protector.
4. These are the angels tasked with each human being; they alternate and take day and night shifts. There are four in each shift: one from the front and another from the back, protecting him from evil, and one from the right keeping record of his good deeds, and another on the left side recording his misdeeds.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيكُمُ ٱلۡبَرۡقَ خَوۡفٗا وَطَمَعٗا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ
12. It It is He (Allāh) Who shows you lightning causing fear and hope⁵ and 'Who' brings up the clouds, heavy 'with rain'.
5. 'Fear' of being hit by thunderbolt and 'hope' for getting rain.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعۡدُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مِنۡ خِيفَتِهِۦ وَيُرۡسِلُ ٱلصَّوَٰعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمۡ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِي ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡمِحَالِ
13. The thunder exalts (Allāh) with Praise (of Him), as do the angels out of awe (and reverence) of Him. He sends thunderbolts and smites with it whom He wills, yet they dispute about Allāh, and He is severe in assault.
