Translation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an - English Translation - Abdullah Hasan Yaqoub * - Translations’ Index
وَلَوۡ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ نَاكِسُواْ رُءُوسِهِمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ رَبَّنَآ أَبۡصَرۡنَا وَسَمِعۡنَا فَٱرۡجِعۡنَا نَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ
12. If you could only see when the wicked will hang down their heads before their Lord 'saying': "Our Lord 'Allāh', we have now seen and heard, so send us back 'to the world', we will do righteous deeds. For we are now certain.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَأٓتَيۡنَا كُلَّ نَفۡسٍ هُدَىٰهَا وَلَٰكِنۡ حَقَّ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ مِنِّي لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ
13. Had We willed, We would have given guidance to every soul, but the Word from Me took effect 'about evil doers': "That I will fill Hell with jinn and mankind all together."
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
فَذُوقُواْ بِمَا نَسِيتُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَٰذَآ إِنَّا نَسِينَٰكُمۡۖ وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
14. So taste (the torment of the Fire), because of your forgetting the Meeting of this Day 'of your Judgement'; We too will forget you³. Taste the abiding torment for what you used to do 'of evil deeds'.
3. I.e., abandon you in the Fire.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
إِنَّمَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهَا خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَسَبَّحُواْ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ۩
15. Only those believe in Our verses, who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate and glorify their Lord 'Allāh' with praise, and they are not arrogant.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمَضَاجِعِ يَدۡعُونَ رَبَّهُمۡ خَوۡفٗا وَطَمَعٗا وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ
16. Their sides vacate 'their' beds 'at night for prayer', they invoke their Lord 'Allāh' in 'love', fear and hope, and they spend 'in charity' out of what We have given them.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
فَلَا تَعۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أُخۡفِيَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعۡيُنٖ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
17. No soul knows what joy and blissful delight 'in Paradise' are kept hidden for them4 as reward for what they used to do.
4. I.e., having that which no eye has ever seen, nor ear has ever heard, nor what has occurred to the heart of anyone before.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ نُزُلَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
19. As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Gardens of shelter and shade are their welcoming place as an accommodation for what they used to do 'of righteousness'.
Arabic explanations of the Qur’an:
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُواْ فَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَآ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
20. But as for those who rebel 'against God', their home of the Hereafter is the eternal Fire. Whenever they want to get out of it, they will be returned to it, and they will be told: "Taste the torment of the Fire which you used to deny."
