Tabaraka allathee nazzala alfurqana AAala AAabdihi liyakoona lilAAalameena natheeran\n1. Blessed is He Who\n Sent down the Criterion\n To His Servant, that\n May be an admonition\n To all creatures;\u2014\n2. Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waal-ardi walam yattakhith waladan walam yakun lahu shareekun fee almulki wakhalaqa kulla shay-in faqaddarahu taqdeeran\n2. He to Whom belongs\n The dominion of the heavens\n And the earth: no son\n Has He begotten, nor has He\n A partner in His dominion:\n It is He Who created\n All things, and ordered them\n In due proportions.\n3. Waittakhathoo min doonihi alihatan la yakhluqoona shay-an wahum yukhlaqoona wala yamlikoona li-anfusihim darran wala nafAAan wala yamlikoona mawtan wala hayatan wala nushooran\n3. Yet have they taken,\n Besides Him, gods that can\n Create nothing but are themselves\n Created; that have no control\n Of hurt or good to themselves;\n Nor can they control Death\n Nor Life nor Resurrection.\n4. Waqala allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa ifkun iftarahu waaAAanahu AAalayhi qawmun akharoona faqad jaoo thulman wazooran\n4. But the Misbelievers say:\n \"Naught is this but a lie\n Which he has forged,\n And others have helped him\n At it.\" In truth it is they\n Who have put forward\n An iniquity and a falsehood.\n5. Waqaloo asateeru al-awwaleena iktatabaha fahiya tumla AAalayhi bukratan waaseelan\n5. And they say: \"Tales of\n The ancients, which he has caused\n To be written: and they\n Are dictated before him\n Morning and evening.\"\n6. Qul anzalahu allathee yaAAlamu alssirra fee alssamawati waal-ardi innahu kana ghafooran raheeman\n6. Say: \"The (Qur-\u0101n) was sent down\n By Him Who knows\n The Mystery (that is) in the heavens\n And the earth: verily He\n Is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.\"\n7. Waqaloo mali hatha alrrasooli ya/kulu alttaAAama wayamshee fee al-aswaqi lawla onzila ilayhi malakun fayakoona maAAahu natheeran\n7. find they say: \"What sort\n Of an apostle is this,\n Who eats food, and walks\n Through the streets? Why\n Has not an angel\n Been sent down to him\n To give admonition with him?\n8. Aw yulqa ilayhi kanzun aw takoonu lahu jannatun ya/kulu minha waqala alththalimoona in tattabiAAoona illa rajulan mashooran\n8. \"Or (why) has not a treasure\n Been bestowed on him, or\n Why has he (not) a garden\n For enjoyment?\" The wicked\n Say: \"Ye follow none other\n Than a man bewitched.\"\n9. Onthur kayfa daraboo laka al-amthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelan\n9. See what kinds of comparisons\n They make for thee!\n But they have gone astray,\n And never a way will they\n Be able to find!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXV.: Furq\u0101n, or The Criterion....","type":"page"}
