Walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musamman\n129. Had it not been\n For a Word that went forth\n Before from thy Lord,\n (Their punishment) must necessarily\n Have come; but there is\n A term appointed (for respite).\n130. Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin ana-i allayli fasabbih waatrafa alnnahari laAAallaka tarda\n130. Therefore be patient with what\n They say, and celebrate (constantly)\n The praises of thy Lord,\n Before the rising of the sun,\n And before its setting;\n Yea, celebrate them\n For part of the hours\n Of the night, and at the sides\n Of the day: that thou\n Mayest have (spiritual) joy.\n131. Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayati alddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrun waabqa\n131. Nor strain thine eyes in longing\n For the things We have given\n For enjoyment to parties ,\n Of them, the splendour\nOf the life of this world,\n Through which We test them:\n But the provision of thy Lord\n Is better and more enduring.\n132. Wa/mur ahlaka bialssalati waistabir AAalayha la nas-aluka rizqan nahnu narzuquka waalAAaqibatu lilttaqwa\n132. Enjoin prayer on thy people,\n And be constant therein.\n We ask thee not to provide\n Sustenance: We provide it\n For thee. But the (fruit of)\n The Hereafter is for Righteousness.\n133. Waqaloo lawla ya/teena bi-ayatin min rabbihi awa lam ta/tihim bayyinatu ma fee alssuhufi al-oola\n133. ''They say: \"Why does he not\n Bring us a Sign from\n His Lord?\" Has not\n A Clear Sign come to them\n Of all that was\n In the former Books\n Of revelation?\n134. Walaw anna ahlaknahum biAAathabin min qablihi laqaloo rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika min qabli an nathilla wanakhza\n134. And if We had inflicted\n On them a penalty before this,\n They would have said:\n \"Our Lord! If only Thou\n Hadst sent us an apostle,\n We should certainly have followed\nThy Signs before we were\n Humbled and put to shame.\"\n135. Qul kullun mutarabbisun fatarabbasoo fasataAAlamoona man as-habu alssirati alssawiyyi wamani ihtada\n135. Say: \"Each one (of us)\n Is waiting: wait ye, therefore,\n And soon shall ye know\n Who it is that is\n On the straight and even\n Way, and who it is\n That has received guidance.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XX.: \u1e6c\u0101-H\u0101.
