Waqul liAAibadee yaqooloo allatee hiya ahsanu inna alshshaytana yanzaghu baynahum inna alshshaytana kana lil-insani AAaduwwan mubeenan\n53. Say to My servants\n That they should (only) say\n Those things that are best:\n For Satan doth sow\n Dissensions among them:\n For Satan is to man\n An avowed enemy.\n54. Rabbukum aAAlamu bikum in yasha/ yarhamkum aw in yasha/ yuAAaththibkum wama arsalnaka AAalayhim wakeelan\n54. It is your Lord\n That knoweth you best:\n If He please, He granteth\n You mercy, or if He please,\n Punishment: We have not sent\n Thee to be a disposer\n Of their affairs for them.\n55. Warabbuka aAAlamu biman fee alssamawati waal-ardi walaqad faddalna baAAda alnnabiyyeena AAala baAAdin waatayna dawooda zabooran\n55. And it is your Lord\n That knoweth best all beings\n That are in the heavens\n And on earth: We\n Did bestow on some Prophets\n More (and other) gifts\n Than on others: and We gave\n To David (the gift\n Of) the Psalms.\n56. Quli odAAu allatheena zaAAamtum min doonihi fala yamlikoona kashfa alddurri AAankum wala tahweelan\n56. Say: \"Call on those\u2014\n Besides Him\u2014whom ye fancy:\n They have neither the power\n To remove your troubles\n From you nor to change them.\"\n57. Ola-ika allatheena yadAAoona yabtaghoona ila rabbihimu alwaseelata ayyuhum aqrabu wayarjoona rahmatahu wayakhafoona AAathabahu inna AAathaba rabbika kana mahthooran\n57. Those whom they call upon\n Do desire (for themselves) means\n Of access to their Lord,\u2014\n Even those who are nearest:\n They hope for His Mercy\n And fear His Wrath:\n For the Wrath of thy Lord\n Is something to take heed of\n58. Wa-in min qaryatin illa nahnu muhlikooha qabla yawmi alqiyamati aw muAAaththibooha AAathaban shadeedan kana thalika fee alkitabi mastooran\n58. There is not a population\n But We shall destroy it\n Before the Day of Judgment\n Or punish it with\n A dreadful Penalty:\n That is written\n In the (eternal) Record.\n59. Wama manaAAana an nursila bial-ayati illa an kaththaba biha al-awwaloona waatayna thamooda alnnaqata mubsiratan fathalamoo biha wama nursilu bial-ayati illa takhweefan\n59. And We refrain from sending\n The Signs, only because\n The men of former generations\n Treated them as false:\nWe sent the She-camel\n To the Tham\u016bd to open\n Their eyes, but they\n Treated her wrongfully:\n We only send the Signs\n By way of terror\n (And warning from evil).\n60. Wa-ith qulna laka inna rabbaka ahata bialnnasi wama jaAAalna alrru/ya allatee araynaka illa fitnatan lilnnasi waalshshajarata almalAAoonata fee alqur-ani wanukhawwifuhum fama yazeeduhum illa tughyanan kabeeran\n60. Behold! We told thee\n That thy Lord doth encompass\n Mankind round about:\n We granted the Vision\n Which We showed thee,\n But as a trial for men,\u2014\n As also the Cursed Tree\n (Mentioned) in the Qur-\u0101n:\n We put terror (and warning)\n Into them, but it only\n Increases their inordinate\n transgression!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XVII.: Ban\u012b Isr\u0101-\u012bl, or the Children of Israel,: Section 6 (53-60)","type":"page"}
