Fassarar Ma'anoni Sura Suratu Al'anbiyaa - الترجمة الإنجليزية - يعقوب - Kundin Alqurani Mai girma

Al-Anbiyā’

Aya: 1

ٱقۡتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مُّعۡرِضُونَ

1. The (time of) people's reckoning (and Judgment) draws near, while they turn away in heedlessness¹.

1. A common disease that we find among many people today is the disease of heedlessness and negligence, in the Islamic context it is the sin of forgetting Allāh and the purpose behind one’s existence and one’s duty to Allāh (God), and simultaneously forgetting one’s eventual abode. This phenomenon is becoming more and more widespread among many people as they move further and further away from the true religion of God, Islam, and indulge themselves deeper into the world and what it has to offer of ephemeral pleasures. They get taken away by the fast-paced society they live in today and become forever lost in it as the world pulls them deeper into their state of heedlessness. Allāh has described such people in the Qur’an as having insight into the affairs of the wordly life while being completely heedless and negligent of the affairs of the Hereafter life.

Aya: 2

مَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسۡتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمۡ يَلۡعَبُونَ

2. Whenever an admonition comes to them from their Lord 'Allāh' as a recent revelation but they listen to it while playing,

Aya: 3

لَاهِيَةٗ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّجۡوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ هَلۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡۖ أَفَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلسِّحۡرَ وَأَنتُمۡ تُبۡصِرُونَ

3. With their hearts distracted. Those who do iniquity² counsel together in secret (saying): "Is this 'Muhammad' more than a mortal man like yourselves? Will you then go into magic while you see it?"

2. Those who associate others with Allāh.

Aya: 4

قَالَ رَبِّي يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

4. He 'the Prophet Muhammad' said: "My Lord 'Allāh' knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, for He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."

Aya: 5

بَلۡ قَالُوٓاْ أَضۡغَٰثُ أَحۡلَٰمِۭ بَلِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُ بَلۡ هُوَ شَاعِرٞ فَلۡيَأۡتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٖ كَمَآ أُرۡسِلَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

5. Yet they say: "(This Qur’an) is muddled dreams. Rather, he has invented it. Rather, he is a poet; so let him bring us a Sign like the former (Prophets) were sent with."

Aya: 6

مَآ ءَامَنَتۡ قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَآۖ أَفَهُمۡ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

6. Not any (sinful) town which We destroyed before them believed ³, will these 'pagans' then believe?

3. Even though they had witnessed Signs.

Aya: 7

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالٗا نُّوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

7. We did not send before you 'Muhammad' any but men to whom We sent Revelation; so ask the people of the Reminder (Divinely revealed Book), if you do not know.

Aya: 8

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ جَسَدٗا لَّا يَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُواْ خَٰلِدِينَ

8. We did not make for them 'the prophets' bodies that do not need to eat food, nor were they immortals.

Aya: 9

ثُمَّ صَدَقۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡوَعۡدَ فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُمۡ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهۡلَكۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

9. Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, so We delivered them and those whom We willed, and destroyed the transgressors.

Aya: 10

لَقَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ كِتَٰبٗا فِيهِ ذِكۡرُكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

10. 'O People,' We have certainly sent down to you a Book (the Qur’an) in which there is an admonition for you4; will you not then understand?

4. Or an honor for the ones who believe in it and follow it's teachings.

Aya: 11

وَكَمۡ قَصَمۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٖ كَانَتۡ ظَالِمَةٗ وَأَنشَأۡنَا بَعۡدَهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

11. For, how many a town which was unjust have We shattered and raised up after it another people.

Aya: 12

فَلَمَّآ أَحَسُّواْ بَأۡسَنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا يَرۡكُضُونَ

12. So when they felt Our chastisement coming, at once they (tried to) flee from it.

Aya: 13

لَا تَرۡكُضُواْ وَٱرۡجِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِيهِ وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡـَٔلُونَ

13. (The angels said): "Do not flee (now), but come back to your luxuries and your dwellings5,so that you may be questioned."

5. This is said to them in ridicule.

Aya: 14

قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

14. They said: "O woe to us. We were indeed wrongdoers.

Aya: 15

فَمَا زَالَت تِّلۡكَ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ حَصِيدًا خَٰمِدِينَ

15. This ceased not to be their cry till We made them as a field reaped, still, and silent.

Aya: 16

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

16. We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them just for fun6.

6. I.e., without purpose.

Aya: 17

لَوۡ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوٗا لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ

17. Had We intended to take a pastime7, We would have taken it from (what is) Our presence, if We were doers8.

7. I.e. a wife or a son.
8. Such a thing, Glory be to Allāh, He is Highly Exalted above that.

Aya: 18

بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلۡبَٰطِلِ فَيَدۡمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٞۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡوَيۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ

18. Rather, We hurl the Truth upon falsehood, and it crushes it, so it vanishes. Woe to you for what you ascribe (to Allāh, of a partner or son).

Aya: 19

وَلَهُۥ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَنۡ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسۡتَحۡسِرُونَ

19. To Him (Allāh) belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. Those (angels) who are near to Him are not arrogant to worship Him, nor are they weary (of His worship).

Aya: 20

يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفۡتُرُونَ

20. They glorify (Him) night and day 'and' do not slacken.

Aya: 21

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَالِهَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هُمۡ يُنشِرُونَ

21. Or have they taken gods from the earth, who can raise (the dead).

Aya: 22

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

22. Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) any gods except Allāh, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder. Glory be to Allāh, the Lord of the Throne - High above what they attribute (to Him).

Aya: 23

لَا يُسۡـَٔلُ عَمَّا يَفۡعَلُ وَهُمۡ يُسۡـَٔلُونَ

23. He cannot be questioned about what He does, but they will be 'all' questioned.

Aya: 24

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةٗۖ قُلۡ هَاتُواْ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡۖ هَٰذَا ذِكۡرُ مَن مَّعِيَ وَذِكۡرُ مَن قَبۡلِيۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّۖ فَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

24. Or, have they taken other gods besides Him? Say: "Bring your proof. This (Qur’an) is the reminder of those with me and 'it also contains' the reminder of those before me." But most of them do not know the Truth, and so they turn away.

Aya: 25

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ

25. We sent not before you 'Muhammad' any Messenger but We revealed to him that there is no god 'worthy of worship' except Me, so worship Me alone.

Aya: 26

وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗاۗ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥۚ بَلۡ عِبَادٞ مُّكۡرَمُونَ

26. (Yet) they say: "The Most Gracious (Allāh) has taken to Himself a son." Glory be to Him. Rather, they are honored servants (of Allāh)9.

9. Those whom they call sons or daughters of God, e.g., Jesus, the angels.

Aya: 27

لَا يَسۡبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُم بِأَمۡرِهِۦ يَعۡمَلُونَ

27. They do not precede Him in speech and by His Command (alone) do they act.

Aya: 28

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا يَشۡفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنۡ خَشۡيَتِهِۦ مُشۡفِقُونَ

28. He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves, and for awe of Him they stand in reverence and humility.

Aya: 29

۞ وَمَن يَقُلۡ مِنۡهُمۡ إِنِّيٓ إِلَٰهٞ مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

29. Whoever of them should say: "I am a god besides Him - such a one do We recompense with Gehinnom (Hell). Thus do We recompense the unjust."

Aya: 30

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقٗا فَفَتَقۡنَٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ حَيٍّۚ أَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

30. Do not those who deny (the Truth) see that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We parted them. We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

Aya: 31

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَٰسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجٗا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ

31. We have placed firm mountains on the earth lest it should shake with them, and We made in it broad pathways that they may find their way.

Aya: 32

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقۡفٗا مَّحۡفُوظٗاۖ وَهُمۡ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِهَا مُعۡرِضُونَ

32. We have made the sky a guarded canopy and (yet) they turn away from its signs.

Aya: 33

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ فِي فَلَكٖ يَسۡبَحُونَ

33. It is He 'Allāh' Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Each floating in an orbit.

Aya: 34

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا لِبَشَرٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ ٱلۡخُلۡدَۖ أَفَإِيْن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِدُونَ

34. We did not grant immortality for any human being before you 'Muhammad'. So if you die, will they live forever?

Aya: 35

كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَنَبۡلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةٗۖ وَإِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ

35. Every soul will taste death. We test you with adversity and prosperity as a trial10; and to Us you will 'all' be returned.

10. If the trial we face involves an inducement to evil, we should not regard the inducement to evil as coming from Allāh. Allāh does not will anyone to sin, and He does not tempt us to sin. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of Allāh; for Allāh doesn't use evil to tempt others. The trial, not the sin, is His aim. Trials are designed to refine us as gold is refined by fire.

Aya: 36

وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي يَذۡكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ

36. When those who deny (the Oneness of God) see you, they do not take you except for one to be mocked (saying): "Is this the one who speaks of your gods?" And they are deniers when (Allāh) the Most Gracious is mentioned alone (with no partners).

Aya: 37

خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلٖۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ

37. Man is created of haste. I will show to you My signs, so do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.

Aya: 38

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

38. They say: "When 'will be fulfilled' this threat, if you are truthful?"

Aya: 39

لَوۡ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ

39. If only those who denied (the Truth) but knew (of the time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor will they be helped.

Aya: 40

بَلۡ تَأۡتِيهِم بَغۡتَةٗ فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ

40. Rather, it will come on them all of a sudden, and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have any power to avert it, nor will they be given respite.

Aya: 41

وَلَقَدِ ٱسۡتُهۡزِئَ بِرُسُلٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

41. Indeed (many) messengers before you were ridiculed, but those who mocked them were overtaken by the very thing they used to ridicule.

Aya: 42

قُلۡ مَن يَكۡلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

42. Say, 'Muhammad': "Who guards you by night and by day from (the torment of) the Most Gracious?" But, they turn away at the mention of their Lord 'Allāh alone'.

Aya: 43

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ ءَالِهَةٞ تَمۡنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَاۚ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ نَصۡرَ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصۡحَبُونَ

43. Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? They are unable 'even' to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.

Aya: 44

بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَنَّا نَأۡتِي ٱلۡأَرۡضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنۡ أَطۡرَافِهَآۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

44. But We let these 'pagans' and their fathers enjoy 'the good things of this life' until the period grew long for them. Do they not see that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Will they then prevail?

Aya: 45

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلۡوَحۡيِۚ وَلَا يَسۡمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ

45. Say, 'Muhammad': "I warn you only by the Revelation (of the Qur'an)." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

Aya: 46

وَلَئِن مَّسَّتۡهُمۡ نَفۡحَةٞ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

46. Yet, if a breath of the Torment of 'Allāh' your Lord touches them, they would surely say: "O woe to us. We were evildoers."

Aya: 47

وَنَضَعُ ٱلۡمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلۡقِسۡطَ لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثۡقَالَ حَبَّةٖ مِّنۡ خَرۡدَلٍ أَتَيۡنَا بِهَاۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَٰسِبِينَ

47. We shall set up a just balance on the Day of Resurrection 'and Judgement', so no soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least. (Every deed) even if it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We shall bring it. Enough are We as a Reckoner.

Aya: 48

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ ٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ وَضِيَآءٗ وَذِكۡرٗا لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

48. We gave to Moses and Aaron the Standard (to distinguish between right and wrong) and a Light and a Reminder for the righteous.

Aya: 49

ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مُشۡفِقُونَ

49. Those who are in awe of their Lord 'Allāh' though unseen11 and they are apprehensive of the Hour (of Doom).

11. Or when they are in private and not seen by others.

   

Aya: 50

وَهَٰذَا ذِكۡرٞ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُۚ أَفَأَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ

50. This (Qur’an) is a Blessed Reminder which We have sent down (after the Torah and the Gospel). Will you then deny it?

Aya: 51

۞ وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ رُشۡدَهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِۦ عَٰلِمِينَ

51. We had certainly given Abraham his uprightness (and guidance) before, and We knew him fully well 'to be worthy of it'.

Aya: 52

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلتَّمَاثِيلُ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَنتُمۡ لَهَا عَٰكِفُونَ

52. When he said to his father and his people: "What are these images to whose worship you are devoted?"

Aya: 53

قَالُواْ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا لَهَا عَٰبِدِينَ

53. They said: "We found our fathers worshiping them."

Aya: 54

قَالَ لَقَدۡ كُنتُمۡ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمۡ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ

54. (Abraham) said: "You have been, (both) you and your fathers in manifest error."

Aya: 55

قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئۡتَنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّ أَمۡ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱللَّٰعِبِينَ

55. They said: "Have you brought to us the Truth, or are you joking?"

Aya: 56

قَالَ بَل رَّبُّكُمۡ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا۠ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰهِدِينَ

56. He said: "No, Rather 'Allāh' your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am witness to this.

Aya: 57

وَتَٱللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصۡنَٰمَكُم بَعۡدَ أَن تُوَلُّواْ مُدۡبِرِينَ

57. ˹Then he said to himself,' "By Allāh, I will do something against your idols after you go away, turning your backs."

Aya: 58

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ جُذَٰذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرٗا لَّهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِ يَرۡجِعُونَ

58. So he broke them (the idols) into pieces, except the biggest of them, that they may return to it.

Aya: 59

قَالُواْ مَن فَعَلَ هَٰذَا بِـَٔالِهَتِنَآ إِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

59. They said: "Who has done this to our gods (idols)? He is truly an unjust person."

Aya: 60

قَالُواْ سَمِعۡنَا فَتٗى يَذۡكُرُهُمۡ يُقَالُ لَهُۥٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

60. They said: "We heard a youth called Abraham speak of them."

Aya: 61

قَالُواْ فَأۡتُواْ بِهِۦ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡيُنِ ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَشۡهَدُونَ

61. They said: "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, perhaps they may bear witness."

Aya: 62

قَالُوٓاْ ءَأَنتَ فَعَلۡتَ هَٰذَا بِـَٔالِهَتِنَا يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

62. They said: "Have you done this to our gods (idols), O Abraham?"

Aya: 63

قَالَ بَلۡ فَعَلَهُۥ كَبِيرُهُمۡ هَٰذَا فَسۡـَٔلُوهُمۡ إِن كَانُواْ يَنطِقُونَ

63. He said: "Rather, this one, the biggest of them (the idols) did it, so ask them - if they can speak."

Aya: 64

فَرَجَعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّكُمۡ أَنتُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

64. Then they turned to themselves and said (to one another): "You yourselves are the unjust."

Aya: 65

ثُمَّ نُكِسُواْ عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمۡ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يَنطِقُونَ

65. Then they were utterly confounded with shame. (They said): "Abraham, you know that idols do not speak."

Aya: 66

قَالَ أَفَتَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمۡ

66. He said: "Do you then, instead of Allāh, worship 'idols' that can neither benefit you in the least, nor harm you?

Aya: 67

أُفّٖ لَّكُمۡ وَلِمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

وَلَقَدۡ كَتَبۡنَا فِي ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ أَنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ

Aya: 107

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ إِلَّا رَحۡمَةٗ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

107.We have only sent you 'Muhammad'19 as a Mercy for the world "mankind and jinn'20.

19. If you verbally declare, “that there is no God except Allāh and that Mohammad is God's servant and messenger,” and believe that in your heart, you will be saved from the Hellfire and admitted to Paradise.
20. The love and compassion of Allah's Messenger for all kinds of creatures was not of the kind claimed by today's 'humanists'. He was more compassionate than any other person. Muhammad was a Prophet raised by Allāh, the Creator and Sustainer of all beings, for the guidance and happiness of conscious beings - mankind and jinn - and the harmony of existence. Therefore, he lived not for himself but for others; he was a mercy for all the worlds.

Aya: 108

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ

108. Say 'Muhammad': "It is only revealed to me that (Allāh) your God is One God only; will you then surrender yourselves to Him alone21?"

When we center our daily activities on Him, “trust in Him and do good, take delight in Him, and surrender to Him all our desires, problems, anxieties, and the daily events of our lives, Allāh will direct us and give us peace. As believers in Allāh, it’s vital for us to let Him determine what our lives should be. Let’s surrender and trust Allāh. As we do, He will take action and do what’s necessary and best for us.

Aya: 109

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَقُلۡ ءَاذَنتُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٖۖ وَإِنۡ أَدۡرِيٓ أَقَرِيبٌ أَم بَعِيدٞ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ

109.But if they turn away, say 'Muhammad': "I have warned you all equally, and I do not know whether it is near or far what you are threatened with. "

Aya: 110

110. Indeed, Allāh knows what is spoken openly and He knows what you hide.

Aya: 112
