Daraba lakum mathalan min anfusikum hal lakum mimma malakat aymanukum min shurakaa fee ma razaqnakum faantum feehi sawaon takhafoonahum kakheefatikum anfusakum kathalika nufassilu al-ayati liqawmin yaAAqiloona\n28. He does propound\n To you a similitude\n From your own (experience):\n Do ye have partners\n Among those whom your right hands\n Possess, to share as equals\n In the wealth We have\nBestowed on you? Do ye\n Fear them as ye fear\n Each other? Thus do We\n Explain the Signs in detail\n To a people that understand.\n29. Bali ittabaAAa allatheena thalamoo ahwaahum bighayri AAilmin faman yahdee man adalla Allahu wama lahum min nasireena\n29. Nay, the wrong-doers (merely)\n Follow their own lusts,\n Being devoid of knowledge.\n But who will guide those\n Whom God leaves astray?\n To them there will be\n No helpers.\n30. Faaqim wajhaka lilddeeni haneefan fitrata Allahi allatee fatara alnnasa AAalayha la tabdeela likhalqi Allahi thalika alddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona\n30. So set thou thy face\n Steadily and truly to the Faith:\n (Establish) God's handiwork according\n To the pattern on which\n He has made mankind:\n No change (let there be)\n In the work (wrought)\nBy God: that is\n The standard Religion\n But most among mankind\n Understand not.\n31. Muneebeena ilayhi waittaqoohu waaqeemoo alssalata wala takoonoo mina almushrikeena\n31. Turn ye back in repentance\n To Him, and fear Him:\n Establish regular prayers,\n And be not ye among those\n Who join gods with God,\u2014\n32. Mina allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shiyaAAan kullu hizbin bima ladayhim farihoona\n32. Those who split up\n Their Religion, and become\n (Mere) Sects,\u2014each party\n Rejoicing in that which\n Is with itself!\n33. Wa-itha massa alnnasa durrun daAAaw rabbahum muneebeena ilayhi thumma itha athaqahum minhu rahmatan itha fareequn minhum birabbihim yushrikoona\n33. When trouble touches men,\n They cry to their Lord,\n Turning back to Him\n In repentance: but when\n He gives them a taste\n Of Mercy as from Himself,\n Behold, some of them\n Pay part-worship to\n Other god's besides their Lord,\u2014\n34. Liyakfuroo bima ataynahum fatamattaAAoo fasawfa taAAlamoona\n34. (As if) to show their ingratitude\n For the (favours) We have\n Bestowed on them! Then enjoy\n (Your brief day); but soon\nWill ye know (your folly).\n35. Am anzalna AAalayhim sultanan fahuwa yatakallamu bima kanoo bihi yushrikoona\n35. Or have We sent down\n Authority to them, which\n Points out to them\n The things to which\n They pay part-worship?\n36. Waitha athaqna alnnasa rahmatan farihoo biha wa-in tusibhum sayyi-atun bima qaddamat aydeehim itha hum yaqnatoona\n36. When We give men\n A taste of Mercy,\n They exult thereat:\n And when-some evil\n Afflicts them because of\n What their (own) hands\n Have sent forth, behold,\n They are in despair!\n37. Awa lam yaraw anna Allaha yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yu/minoona\n37. See they not that God\n Enlarges the provision and\n Restricts it, to whomsoever\n He pleases? Verily in that\n Are Signs for those who believe.\n38. Faati tha alqurba haqqahu waalmiskeena waibna alssabeeli thalika khayrun lillatheena yureedoona wajha Allahi waola-ika humu almuflihoona\n38. So give what is due\n To kindred, the needy,\n And the wayfarer.\n That is best for those\nWho seek the Countenance,\n Of God, and it is they\n Who will prosper.\n39. Wama ataytum min riban liyarbuwa fee amwali alnnasi fala yarboo AAinda Allahi wama ataytum min zakatin tureedoona wajha Allahi faola-ika humu almudAAifoona\n39. That which ye lay out\n For increase through the property\n Of (other) people, will have\n No increase with God:\n But that which ye lay out\n For charity, seeking\n The Countenance of God,\n (Will increase): it is\n These who twill get\n A recompense multiplied.\n40. Allahu allathee khalaqakum thumma razaqakum thumma yumeetukum thumma yuhyeekum hal min shuraka-ikum man yafAAalu min thalikum min shay-in subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yushrikoona\n40. It is God Who has\n Created you: further, He has\n Provided for your sustenance;\n Then He will cause you\n To die; and again He will\n Give you life. Are there\n Any of your (false) \"Partners\"\n Who can do any single\n One of these things?\n Glory to Him! and High\n Is He above the partners\n They attribute (to Him)!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXX.: R\u016bm, or The Roman Empire.: Section 4 (28-40)","type":"page"}
