Alhamdu lillahi allathee anzala AAala AAabdihi alkitaba walam yajAAal lahu AAiwajan\n1. Praise be to God,\n Who hath sent to His Servant\n The Book, and hath allowed\n Therein no Crookedness:\n2. Qayyiman liyunthira ba/san shadeedan min ladunhu wayubashshira almu/mineena allatheena yaAAmaloona alssalihati anna lahum ajran hasanan\n2. (He hath made it) Straight\n (And Clear) in order that\n He may warn (the godless)\n Of a terrible Punishment\n From Him, and that He\n May give Glad Tidings\n To the Believers who work\n Righteous deeds, that they\n Shall have a goodly Reward,\n3. Wherein they shall\n Remain for ever:\n4. Wayunthira allatheena qaloo ittakhatha Allahu waladan\n4. Further; that He may warn\n Those (also) who say,\n\"God hath begotten a son\"\n5. Ma lahum bihi min AAilmin wala li-aba-ihim kaburat kalimatan takhruju min afwahihim in yaqooloona illa kathiban\n5. No knowledge have they\n Of such a thing, nor\n Had their fathers. It is\n A grievous thing that issues\n From their mouths as a saying.\n What they say is nothing\n But falsehood!\n6. FalaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka AAala atharihim in lam yu/minoo bihatha alhadeethi asafan\n6. Thou wouldst only, perchance,\n Fret thyself to death,\n Following after them, in grief,\n If they believe not\n In this Message.\n7. Inna jaAAalna ma AAala al-ardi zeenatan laha linabluwahum ayyuhum ahsanu AAamalan\n7. That which is on earth\n We have made but as\n A glittering show for the earth,\n In order that We may test\n Them\u2014as to which of them\n Are best in conduct.\n8. Wa-inna lajaAAiloona ma AAalayha saAAeedan juruzan\n8. Verily what is on earth\n We shall make but as\nDust and dry soil\n (Without growth or herbage).\n9. Am hasibta anna as-haba alkahfi waalrraqeemi kanoo min ayatina AAajaban\n9. Or dost thou reflect\n That the Companions of the Cave\n And of the Inscription\n Were wonders among Our Signs?\n10. Ith awa alfityatu ila alkahfi faqaloo rabbana atina min ladunka rahmatan wahayyi/ lana min amrina rashadan\n10. Behold, the youths betook themselves\nTo the Cave: they said,\n \"Our Lord! bestow on us\n Mercy from Thyself,\n And dispose of our affair\n For us in the right way!\"\n11. Fadarabna AAala athanihim fee alkahfi sineena AAadadan\n11. Then We draw (a veil)\n Over their ears, for a number\n Of years, in the Cave,\n (So that they heard not):\n12. Thumma baAAathnahum linaAAlama ayyu alhizbayni ahsa lima labithoo amadan\n12. Then We roused them,\n In order to test which\n Of the two parties was best\n At calculating the term\n Of years they had tarried!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XVIII.: Kahf, or the Cave.: Section ...","type":"page"}
