Wala taqoolanna lishay-in innee faAAilun thalika ghadan\n23. Nor say of anything,\n \"I shall be sure to do\n So and so to-morrow\"\u2014\n24. Illa an yashaa Allahu waothkur rabbaka itha naseeta waqul AAasa an yahdiyani rabbee li-aqraba min hatha rashadan\n24. Without adding, \"So please God!\"\n And call thy Lord to mind\n When thou forgettest, and say,\n \"I hope that my Lord\n Will guide me ever closer\n (Even) than this\n To the right road.\"\n25. Walabithoo fee kahfihim thalatha mi-atin sineena waizdadoo tisAAan\n25. So they stayed in their Cave\n Three hundred years, and (some)\n Add nine (more)\n26. Quli Allahu aAAlamu bima labithoo lahu ghaybu alssamawati waal-ardi absir bihi waasmiAA ma lahum min doonihi min waliyyin wala yushriku fee hukmihi ahadan\n26. Say: \"God knows best\n How long they stayed:\n With Him is (the knowledge\n Of) the secrets of the heavens\n And the earth: how clearly\n He sees, how finely He hears\n (Everything)! They have no protector\n Other than Him; nor does\n He share His Command\n With any person whatsoever.\n27. Waotlu ma oohiya ilayka min kitabi rabbika la mubaddila likalimatihi walan tajida min doonihi multahadan\n27. And recite (and teach)\n What has been revealed\n To thee of the Book\n Of thy Lord: none\n Can change His Words,\n And none wilt thou find\n As a refuge other than Him.\n28. Waisbir nafsaka maAAa allatheena yadAAoona rabbahum bialghadati waalAAashiyyi yureedoona wajhahu wala taAAdu AAaynaka AAanhum tureedu zeenata alhayati alddunya wala tutiAA man aghfalna qalbahu AAan thikrina waittabaAAa hawahu wakana amruhu furutan\n28. And keep thy soul content\n With those who call\n On their Lord morning\n And evening, seeking\n His Face; and let not\n Thine eyes pass beyond them,\n Seeking the pomp and glitter\n Of this Life; nor obey\n Any whose heart We\n Have permitted to neglect\n The remembrance of Us,\n One who follows his own\nDesires, whose case has\n Gone beyond all bounds.\n29. Waquli alhaqqu min rabbikum faman shaa falyu/min waman shaa falyakfur inna aAAtadna lilththalimeena naran ahata bihim suradiquha wa-in yastagheethoo yughathoo bima-in kaalmuhli yashwee alwujooha bi/sa alshsharabu wasaat murtafaqan\n29. Say, \"The Truth is\n From your Lord\":\n Let him who will,\n Believe, and let him\n Who will, reject (it):\n For the wrong-doers We\n Have prepared a Fire\n Whose (smoke and flames),\n Like the walls and roof\n Of a tent, will hem\n Them in: if they implore\n Relief they will be granted\n Water like melted brass,\n That will scald their faces.\n How dreadful the drink!\n How uncomfortable a couch\n To recline on!\n30. Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati inna la nudeeAAu ajra man ahsana AAamalan\n30. As to those who believe\n And work righteousness,\n Verily We shall not suffer\n To perish the reward\n Of any who do\n A (single) righteous deed.\n31. Ola-ika lahum jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtihimu al-anharu yuhallawna feeha min asawira min thahabin wayalbasoona thiyaban khudran min sundusin wa-istabraqin muttaki-eena feeha AAala al-ara-iki niAAma alththawabu wahasunat murtafaqan\n31. For them will be Gardens\n Of Eternity; beneath them\n Rivers will flow: they will\n Be adorned therein\n With bracelets of gold,\n And they will wear\nGreen garments of fine silk\n And heavy brocade;\n They will recline therein\n On raised thrones.\n How good the recompense!\n How beautiful a couch\n To recline on!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XVIII.: Kahf, or the Cave.: Section ...","type":"page"}
