Translation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an - English Translation - Abdullah Hasan Yaqoub * - Translations’ Index
ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدۡنَٰهُمۡ عَذَابٗا فَوۡقَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يُفۡسِدُونَ
88. Those who disbelieved (in the Truth) and turned (people) away from God’s Way (Islam), We shall add torment over their torment, for what they used to spread corruption.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡهِم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ وَجِئۡنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ تِبۡيَٰنٗا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ
89. And on the Day when We shall raise up from within each people a witness against them, and bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these 'peope of yours' . We have sent down the Book on you as an explanation of everything, a guide, mercy and good news for the Muslims34.
34. Those who submit themselves to God.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَٱلۡإِحۡسَٰنِ وَإِيتَآيِٕ ذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَيَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَٱلۡبَغۡيِۚ يَعِظُكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ
90. Indeed, Allāh commands (people) to maintain justice, doing good, and giving generously to close relatives35, and He forbids indecency, sin, and oppression; He admonishes you that you may take heed.
35. Degrees of kinship: parents, then offspring, then brothers and sisters, then paternal uncles and aunts, then maternal uncles and aunts, and then other relatives.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَأَوۡفُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَٰهَدتُّمۡ وَلَا تَنقُضُواْ ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَ بَعۡدَ تَوۡكِيدِهَا وَقَدۡ جَعَلۡتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَفِيلًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ
91. Fulfill the Covenant of Allāh when you make a pledge, and do not break the oaths after confirming them, while you have made Allāh a surety (i.e., witness) over you. Indeed, Allāh knows what you do.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّتِي نَقَضَتۡ غَزۡلَهَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَٰثٗا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلَۢا بَيۡنَكُمۡ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرۡبَىٰ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍۚ إِنَّمَا يَبۡلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ
92. And do not be like the woman who (foolishly) untwisted her spun thread after it was strong, into shreds, by taking your oaths as (means of) deceit between you, simply because one nation may be more plentiful (in number or wealth) than another nation. Allāh only tries you by this; and He will certainly make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection (and judgement) that over which you used to differ.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَلَٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
93. Had Allāh willed, He could have made you all of one religion36, but He (justly) leaves whom He wills astray, and guides (out of His Favor) whom He wills. And you will certainly be questioned as to what you used to do.
36. Allāh, through His boundless Power and infinite Wisdom, could have made all people believers, but then how would their Faith be tested and they be held accountable for their deeds.
