Qul man yaklaokum biallayli waalnnahari mina alrrahmani bal hum AAan thikri rabbihim muAAridoona\n42. Say, \"Who can keep\n You safe by night and by day\n From (the Wrath of) (God)\n Most Gracious?\" Yet they\n Turn away from the mention\n Of their Lord.\n43. Am lahum alihatun tamnaAAuhum min doonina la yastateeAAoona nasra anfusihim wala hum minna yushaboona\n43. Or have they gods that\n Can guard them from Us?\n They have no power to aid\n Themselves, nor can they\n Be defended from Us.\n44. Bal mattaAAna haola-i waabaahum hatta tala AAalayhimu alAAumuru afala yarawna anna na/tee al-arda nanqusuha min atrafiha afahumu alghaliboona\n44. Nay, We gave the good things\n Of this life to these men\n And their fathers until\n The period grew long for them;\n See they not that We\n Gradually reduce the land\n (In their control) from\n Its outlying borders? Is it\n Then they who will win?\n45. Qul innama onthirukum bialwahyi wala yasmaAAu alssummu aldduAAaa itha ma yuntharoona\n45. Say, \"I do but warn you\n According to revelation\":\n But the deaf will not hear\n The call, (even) when\n They are warned!\n46. Wala-in massat-hum nafhatun min AAathabi rabbika layaqoolunna ya waylana inna kunna thalimeena\n46. If but a breath of the Wrath\n Of thy Lord do touch them,\n They will then say, \"Woe\n To us! we did wrong indeed!\"\n47. WanadaAAu almawazeena alqista liyawmi alqiyamati fala tuthlamu nafsun shay-an wa-in kana mithqala habbatin min khardalin atayna biha wakafa bina hasibeena\n47. We shall set up scales\n Of justice for the day\n Of Judgment, so that\n Not a soul will be dealt with\n Unjustly in the least.\n And if there be\n (No more than) the weight\n Of a mustard seed,\n We will bring it (to account):\n And enough are We\n To take account.\n48. Walaqad atayna moosa waharoona alfurqana wadiyaan wathikran lilmuttaqeena\n48. In the past We granted\n To Moses and Aaron\nThe Criterion (for judgment),\n And a Light and a Message\n For those who would do right,\u2014\n49. Allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi wahum mina alssaAAati mushfiqoona\n49. Those who fear their Lord\n In their most secret thoughts,\n And who hold the Hour\n (Of Judgment) in awe.\n50. Wahatha thikrun mubarakun anzalnahu afaantum lahu munkiroona\n50. And this is a blessed\n Message which We have\n Sent down: will ye then\n Reject it?\n51. Walaqad atayna ibraheema rushdahu min qablu wakunna bihi AAalimeena\n51. We bestowed aforetime\n On Abraham his rectitude\n Of conduct, and well were we\n Acquainted with him.\n52. Ith qala li-abeehi waqawmihi ma hathihi alttamatheelu allatee antum laha AAakifoona\n52. Behold! he said\n To his father and his people\n \"What are these images,\n To which ye are\n (So assiduously) devoted?\"\n53. Qaloo wajadna abaana laha AAabideena\n53. They said, \"We found\n Our fathers worshipping them.\"\n54. Qala laqad kuntum antum waabaokum fee dalalin mubeenin\n54. He said, \"Indeed ye\n Have been made in manifest\n Error\u2014ye and your fathers.\"\n55. Qaloo aji/tana bialhaqqi am anta mina allaAAibeena\n55. They said, \"Have you\n Brought us the Truth,\n Or are you one\n Of those who jest?\"\n56. Qala bal rabbukum rabbu alssamawati waal-ardi allathee fatarahunna waana AAala thalikum mina alshshahideena\n56. He said, \"Nay, your Lord\n Is the Lord of the heavens\n And the earth, He Who\n Created them (from nothing):\n And I am a witness\n To this (truth).\n57. WataAllahi laakeedanna asnamakum baAAda an tuwalloo mudbireena\n57. \"And by god, I have\n A plan for your idols\u2014\n After ye go away\n And turn your backs\"\u2026\n58. FajaAAalahum juthathan illa kabeeran lahum laAAallahum ilayhi yarjiAAoona\n58. So he broke them to pieces,\n (All) but the biggest of them,\n That they might turn\n (And address themselves) to it.\n59. Qaloo man faAAala hatha bi-alihatina innahu lamina alththalimeena\n59. They said, \"Who has\n Done this to our gods?\n He must indeed be\n Some man of impiety!\"\n60. Qaloo samiAAna fatan yathkuruhum yuqalu lahu ibraheemu\n60. They said, \"We heard\n A youth talk of them:\n He is called Abraham.\"\n61. Qaloo fa/too bihi AAala aAAyuni alnnasi laAAallahum yashhadoona\n61. They said, \"Then bring him\n Before the eyes of the people,\n That they may bear witness:\"\n62. Qaloo aanta faAAalta hatha bi-alihatina ya ibraheemu\n62. They said, \"Art thou\n The one that did this\n With our gods, O Abraham?\"\n63. Qala bal faAAalahu kabeeruhum hatha fais-aloohum in kanoo yantiqoona\n63. He said: \"Nay, this\n Was done by \u2014\n This is their biggest one!\n Ask them, if they\n Can speak intelligently!\"\n64. FarajaAAoo ila anfusihim faqaloo innakum antumu alththalimoona\n64. So they turned to themselves\n And said, \"Surely ye\n Are the ones in the wrong!\n65. Thumma nukisoo AAala ruoosihim laqad AAalimta ma haola-i yantiqoona\n65. Then were they confounded\n With shame: (they said),\n \"Thou knowest full well that\n These (idols) do not speak!\"\n66. Qala afataAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAukum shay-an wala yadurrukum\n66. (Abraham) said, \"Do ye then\n Worship, besides God,\n Things that can neither\n Be of any good to you\n Nor do you harm?\n67. Offin lakum walima taAAbudoona min dooni Allahi afala taAAqiloona\n67. \"Fie upon you, and upon\n The things that ye worship\n Besides God! Have ye\n No sense?\"\u2026\n68. Qaloo harriqoohu waonsuroo alihatakum in kuntum faAAileena\n68. They said, \"Burn him\n And protect your gods,\n If ye do (anything at all)!\"\n69. Qulna ya naru koonee bardan wasalaman AAala ibraheema\n69. We said, \"O Fire!\n Be thou cool,\n And (a means of) safety\n For Abraham!\"\n70. Waaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu al-akhsareena\n70. Then they sought a stratagem\n Against him: but We\n Made them the ones\n That lost most!\n71. Wanajjaynahu walootan ila al-ardi allatee barakna feeha lilAAalameena\n71. But We delivered him\n And (his nephew) L\u016bt\n (And directed them) to the land\n Which We have blessed\n For the nations.\n72. Wawahabna lahu ishaqa wayaAAqooba nafilatan wakullan jaAAalna saliheena\n72. And We bestowed on him Isaac\nAnd, as an additional gift,\n (A grandson), Jacob, and We\n Made righteous men of every one\n (Of them).\n73. WajaAAalnahum a-immatan yahdoona bi-amrina waawhayna ilayhim fiAAla alkhayrati wa-iqama alssalati wa-eetaa alzzakati wakanoo lana AAabideena\n73. And We made them\n Leaders, guiding (men) by\n Our Command, and We\n Sent them inspiration\n To do good deeds,\n To establish regular prayers,\n And to practise regular charity;\n And they constantly served\n Us (and Us only).\n74. Walootan ataynahu hukman waAAilman wanajjaynahu mina alqaryati allatee kanat taAAmalu alkhaba-itha innahum kanoo qawma saw-in fasiqeena\n74. And to L\u016bt, too,\n We gave Judgment and Knowledge,\n And We saved him\n From the town which practised\n Abominations: truly they were\n A people given to Evil,\n A rebellious people.\n75. Waadkhalnahu fee rahmatina innahu mina alssaliheena\n75. And We admitted him\n To Our Mercy: for he\n Was one of the Righteous.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXI.: Anbiy\u0101a, or The Prophets: Section 4 (42-50)","type":"page"}
