Awa man kana maytan faahyaynahu wajaAAalna lahu nooran yamshee bihi fee alnnasi kaman mathaluhu fee alththulumati laysa bikharijin minha kathalika zuyyina lilkafireena ma kanoo yaAAmaloona\n122. Can he who was dead,\n To whom We gave life,\n And a Light whereby\n He can walk amongst men,\n Be like him who is\n In the depths of darkness,\n From which he can\n Never come out?\n Thus to those without Faith\n Their own deeds seem pleasing.\n123. Wakathalika jaAAalna fee kulli qaryatin akabira mujrimeeha liyamkuroo feeha wama yamkuroona illa bi-anfusihim wama yashAAuroona\n123. Thus have We placed\n Leaders in every town,\nIts wicked men, to plot\n (And burrow) therein:\n But they only plot\n Against their own souls,\n And they perceive it not.\n124. Wa-itha jaat-hum ayatun qaloo lan nu/mina hatta nu/ta mithla ma ootiya rusulu Allahi Allahu aAAlamu haythu yajAAalu risalatahu sayuseebu allatheena ajramoo sagharun AAinda Allahi waAAathabun shadeedun bima kanoo yamkuroona\n124. When there comes to them\n A Sign (from God),\n They say: \"We shall not\n Believe until we receive\n One (exactly) like those\n Received by God's apostles.\"\n God knoweth best where\n (And how) to carry out\n His mission. Soon\n Will the wicked\n Be overtaken by\n Humiliation before God,\n And a severe punishment,\n For all their plots.\n125. Faman yuridi Allahu an yahdiyahu yashrah sadrahu lil-islami waman yurid an yudillahu yajAAal sadrahu dayyiqan harajan kaannama yassaAAAAadu fee alssama-i kathalika yajAAalu Allahu alrrijsa AAala allatheena la yu/minoona\n125. Those whom God (in His Plan)\n Willeth to guide,\u2014He openeth\n Their breast to Islam;\n Those whom He willeth\n To leave straying,\u2014He maketh\n Their breast close and constricted,\n As if they had to climb\n Up to the skies: thus\n Doth God (heap) the penalty\n On those who refuse to believe.\n126. Wahatha siratu rabbika mustaqeeman qad fassalna al-ayati liqawmin yaththakkaroona\n126. This is the Way\n Of thy Lord, leading straight:\nWe have detailed the Signs\n For those who\n Receive admonition.\n127. Lahum daru alssalami AAinda rabbihim wahuwa waliyyuhum bima kanoo yaAAmaloona\n127. For them will be a Home\n Of Peace in the presence\n Of their Lord: He will be\n Their Friend, because\n They practised (righteousness).\n128. Wayawma yahshuruhum jameeAAan ya maAAshara aljinni qadi istakthartum mina al-insi waqala awliyaohum mina al-insi rabbana istamtaAAa baAAduna bibaAAdin wabalaghna ajalana allathee ajjalta lana qala alnnaru mathwakum khalideena feeha illa ma shaa Allahu inna rabbaka hakeemun AAaleemun\n128. One day will He gather\n Them all together, (and say):\n \"O ye assembly of Jinns!\n Much (toll) did ye take\n Of men.\" Their friends\n Amongst men will say:\n \"Our Lord! we made profit no\n From each other: but (alas!)\n We reached our term\u2014\n Which Thou didst appoint\n For us.\" He will say:\n \"The Fire be your dwelling-place:\n You will dwell therein for ever,\n Except as God willeth.\"\n For thy Lord is full\n Of wisdom and knowledge.\n129. Wakathalika nuwallee baAAda alththalimeena baAAdan bima kanoo yaksiboona\n129. Thus do We make\n The wrong-doers turn\n To each other, because\n Of what they earn.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VI.: An\u2019\u0101m, or Cattle.: S...","type":"page"}
