Ya maAAshara aljinni waal-insi alam ya/tikum rusulun minkum yaqussoona AAalaykum ayatee wayunthiroonakum liqaa yawmikum hatha qaloo shahidna AAala anfusina wagharrat-humu alhayatu alddunya washahidoo AAala anfusihim annahum kanoo kafireena\n130. \"O ye assembly of Jinns\n And men! came there not\n Unto you apostles from amongst you\n Setting forth unto you\n My Signs, and warning you\n Of the meeting of this Day\n Of yours?\" They will say:\n \"We bear witness against\n Ourselves.\" It was\n The life of this world\n That deceived them. So\n Against themselves will they\n Bear witness that they\n Rejected Faith.\n131. Thalika an lam yakun rabbuka muhlika alqura bithulmin waahluha ghafiloona\n131. (The apostles were sent) thus,\n For thy Lord would not\n Destroy for their wrong-doing\n Men's habitations whilst\n Their occupants were unwarned.\n132. Walikullin darajatun mimma AAamiloo wama rabbuka bighafilin AAamma yaAAmaloona\n132. To all are degrees (or ranks)\n According to their deeds:\n For thy Lord\n Is not unmindful\n Of anything that they do.\n133. Warabbuka alghaniyyu thoo alrrahmati in yasha/ yuthhibkum wayastakhlif min baAAdikum ma yashao kama anshaakum min thurriyyati qawmin akhareena\n133. Thy Lord is Self-sufficient,\n Full of Mercy: if it were\n His Will, He could destroy\n You, and in your place\n Appoint whom He will\n As your successors, even as\n He raised you up\n From the posterity\n Of other people.\n134. Inna ma tooAAadoona laatin wama antum bimuAAjizeena\n134. All that hath been\n Promised unto you\n Will come to pass:\n Nor can ye frustrate it\n (In the least bit).\n135. Qul ya qawmi iAAmaloo AAala makanatikum innee AAamilun fasawfa taAAlamoona man takoonu lahu AAaqibatu alddari innahu la yuflihu alththalimoona\n135. Say: \"O my people!\n Do whatever ye can:\n I will do (my part):\n Soon will ye know\n Who it is whose end\n Will be (best) in the Hereafter:\n Certain it is that\n The wrong-doers will not prosper.\"\n136. WajaAAaloo lillahi mimma tharaa mina alharthi waal-anAAami naseeban faqaloo hatha lillahi bizaAAmihim wahatha lishuraka-ina fama kana lishuraka-ihim fala yasilu ila Allahi wama kana lillahi fahuwa yasilu ila shuraka-ihim saa ma yahkumoona\n136. Out of what God\n Hath produced in abundance\n In tilth and in cattle,\n They assigned Him a share:\n They say, according to their fancies:\n \"This is for God, and this\"\u2014\n For Our \"partners\"!\n But the share of their \"partners\"\n Reacheth not God, whilst\n The share of God reacheth\n Their \"partners\"! Evil\n (And unjust) is their assignment!\n137. Wakathalika zayyana likatheerin mina almushrikeena qatla awladihim shurakaohum liyurdoohum waliyalbisoo AAalayhim deenahum walaw shaa Allahu ma faAAaloohu fatharhum wama yaftaroona\n137. Even so, in the eyes\n Of most of the Pagans,\n Their \"partners\" made alluring\n The slaughter of their children,\n In order to lead them\n To their own destruction,\n And cause confusion\n In their religion.\n If God had willed,\n They would not have done so:\n But leave alone\n Them and their inventions.\n138. Waqaloo hathihi anAAamun waharthun hijrun la yatAAamuha illa man nashao bizaAAmihim waanAAamun hurrimat thuhooruha waanAAamun la yathkuroona isma Allahi AAalayha iftiraan AAalayhi sayajzeehim bima kanoo yaftaroona\n138. And they say that\n Such and such cattle and crops\n Are taboo, and none should\n Eat of them except those\n Whom\u2014so they say\u2014We\n Wish; further, there are\n Cattle forbidden to yoke\n Or burden, and cattle\n On which, (at slaughter),\n The name of God is not\n Pronounced;\u2014inventions\n Against God's name: soon\n Will He requite them\n For their inventions.\n139. Waqaloo ma fee butooni hathihi al-anAAami khalisatun lithukoorina wamuharramun AAala azwajina wa-in yakun maytatan fahum feehi shurakao sayajzeehim wasfahum innahu hakeemun AAaleemun\n139. They say: \"What is\n In the wombs of\n Such and such cattle\n Is specially reserved\n (For food) for our men,\n And forbidden to our women;\n But if it is still-born,\n Then all have shares therein.\nFor their (false) attribution\n (Of superstitions to God),\n He will soon punish them:\n For He is full\n Of wisdom and knowledge.\n140. Qad khasira allatheena qataloo awladahum safahan bighayri AAilmin waharramoo ma razaqahumu Allahu iftiraan AAala Allahi qad dalloo wama kanoo muhtadeena\n140. Lost are those who slay\n Their children, from folly,\n Without knowledge, and forbid\n Food which God hath provided\n For them, inventing (lies)\n Against God. They have\n Indeed gone astray\n And heeded no guidance.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VI.: An\u2019\u0101m, or Cattle.: Section 16 (130-140)","type":"page"}
