lest you should say: 'the book was sent down only to two parties before us; we are inattentive to their study. ' (156) | | أَن تَقُولُواْ إِنَّمَا أُنزِلَ الْكِتَابُ عَلَى طَآئِفَتَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِنَا وَإِن كُنَّا عَن دِرَاسَتِهِمْ لَغَافِلِينَ ﴿156﴾ |
or (you say), 'had the book been sent down to us, we would have been better guided than they. ' indeed a clear sign has now come to you from your lord; a guidance and a mercy. and who is more harmful than he who belies the verses of allah and turns away from them! we shall recompense those who turn away from our verses with an evil punishment for their turning away. (157) | | أَوْ تَقُولُواْ لَوْ أَنَّا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْكِتَابُ لَكُنَّا أَهْدَى مِنْهُمْ فَقَدْ جَاءكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ وَصَدَفَ عَنْهَا سَنَجْزِي الَّذِينَ يَصْدِفُونَ عَنْ آيَاتِنَا سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْدِفُونَ ﴿157﴾ |
are they waiting for the angels or your lord to come to them, or for some of the signs of your lord? on the day when some of the signs of your lord come, no soul will be benefited by its belief had it not believed before or earned good in its belief. say: 'wait, we are waiting. ' (158) | | هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلاَّ أَن تَأْتِيهُمُ الْمَلآئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لاَ يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِن قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا قُلِ انتَظِرُواْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ ﴿158﴾ |
you have nothing to do with those who have made divisions in their religion and become sects. their affair is with allah and he will inform them of what they have done. (159) | | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى اللّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿159﴾ |
he who brings a good deed shall have tenfold of its like, but he who brings a sin shall be recompensed only for its like. none shall be wronged. (160) | | مَن جَاء بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا وَمَن جَاء بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلاَ يُجْزَى إِلاَّ مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لاَ يُظْلَمُونَ ﴿160﴾ |
say: 'my lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the creed of abraham, he was upright, not from the idolaters. ' (161) | | قُلْ إِنَّنِي هَدَانِي رَبِّي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ دِينًا قِيَمًا مِّلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿161﴾ |
say: 'my prayers and my worship (for example, pilgrimage and sacrifice), my life and my death, are all for allah, the lord of the worlds. (162) | | قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿162﴾ |
he has no partner, with that i am commanded, and i am the first of the submitters (muslims). ' (163) | | لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَاْ أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿163﴾ |
say: 'should i seek a lord other than allah, who is the lord of all things? every soul earns only to its account no soul shall bear another's burden. then to your lord you shall be returned, and he will inform you about that in which you differed. ' (164) | | قُلْ أَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَبْغِي رَبًّا وَهُوَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلاَ تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلاَّ عَلَيْهَا وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُم مَّرْجِعُكُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿164﴾ |
it is he who has made you caliphs in the earth and raised some of you in rank above others, so that he might try you in what he has given you. swift is your lord in retribution; yet he is forgiving, merciful. (165) | | وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلاَئِفَ الأَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَا آتَاكُمْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿165﴾ |
