Tabaraka allathee in shaa jaAAala laka khayran min thalika jannatin tajree min tahtiha al-anharu wayajAAal laka qusooran\n10. Blessed is He Who,\n If that were His Will,\n Could give thee better (things)\n Than those,\u2014Gardens beneath which\n Rivers flow; and He could\n Give thee Palaces (secure\n To dwell in).\n11. Bal kaththaboo bialssaAAati waaAAtadna liman kaththaba bialssaAAati saAAeeran\n11. Nay, they deny the Hour\n (Of the Judgment to come):\n But We have prepared\n A Blazing Fire for such\n As deny the Hour:\n12. Itha raat-hum min makanin baAAeedin samiAAoo laha taghayyuthan wazafeeran\n12. When it sees them\n From a place far off,\n They will hear its fury\n And its raging sigh.\n13. Wa-itha olqoo minha makanan dayyiqan muqarraneena daAAaw hunalika thubooran\n13. And when they are cast,\n Bound together, into a\n Constricted place therein, they\n Will plead for destruction\n There and then!\n14. La tadAAoo alyawma thubooran wahidan waodAAoo thubooran katheeran\n14. \"This day plead not\n For a single destruction:\n Plead for destruction oft-repeated!\"\n15. Qul athalika khayrun am jannatu alkhuldi allatee wuAAida almuttaqoona kanat lahum jazaan wamaseeran\n15. Say: \"Is that best, or\n The eternal Garden, promised\n To the righteous? For them,\n That is a reward as well\n As a goal (of attainment).\n16. Lahum feeha ma yashaoona khalideena kana AAala rabbika waAAdan mas-oolan\n16. \"For them there will be\n Therein all that they wish for:\n They will dwell (there) for aye:\n A promise to be prayed for\n From thy Lord.\"\n17. Wayawma yahshuruhum wama yaAAbudoona min dooni Allahi fayaqoolu aantum adlaltum AAibadee haola-i am hum dalloo alssabeela\n17. The Day He will gather\n Them together as well as\n Those whom they worship\n Besides God, He will ask;\n\"Was it ye who led\n These My servants astray,\n Or did they stray\n From the Path themselves?\"\n18. Qaloo subhanaka ma kana yanbaghee lana an nattakhitha min doonika min awliyaa walakin mattaAAtahum waabaahum hatta nasoo alththikra wakanoo qawman booran\n18. They will say: \"Glory to Thee!\n Not meet was it for us\n That we should take\n For protectors others besides Thee:\n But Thou didst bestow,\n On them and their fathers,\n Good things (in life), until\n They forgot the Message:\n For they were a people\n (Worthless and) lost.\"\n19. Faqad kaththabookum bima taqooloona fama tastateeAAoona sarfan wala nasran waman yathlim minkum nuthiqhu AAathaban kabeeran\n19. (God will say): \"Now\n Have they proved you liars\n In what ye say: so\n Ye cannot avert (your penalty)\n Nor (get) help.\" And whoever\n Among you does wrong,\n Him shall We cause to taste\n Of a grievous Penalty.\n20. Wama arsalna qablaka mina almursaleena illa innahum laya/kuloona alttaAAama wayamshoona fee al-aswaqi wajaAAalna baAAdakum libaAAdin fitnatan atasbiroona wakana rabbuka baseeran\n20. And the apostles whom We\n Sent before thee were all\n (Men) who ate food\n And walked through the streets:\n We have made some of you\n As a trial for others:\n Will ye have patience?\n For God is One Who\n Sees (all things).","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXV.: Furq\u0101n, or The Criterion.: Section 2 (10-20)","type":"page"}
