Alam taraw anna Allaha sakhkhara lakum ma fee alssamawati wama fee al-ardi waasbagha AAalaykum niAAamahu thahiratan wabatinatan wamina alnnasi man yujadilu fee Allahi bighayri AAilmin wala hudan wala kitabin muneerin\n20. Do ye not see\n That God has subjected\n To your (use) all things\n In the heavens and on earth,\n And has made His bounties\n Flow to you in exceeding\n Measure, (both) seen and unseen?\n Yet there are among men\n Those who dispute about God,\n Without knowledge and without\n Guidance, and without a Book\n To enlighten them!\n21. Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittabiAAoo ma anzala Allahu qaloo bal nattabiAAu ma wajadna AAalayhi abaana awa law kana alshshaytanu yadAAoohum ila AAathabi alssaAAeeri\n21. When they are told to follow\n The (Revelation) that God\n Has sent down, they say:\n \"Nay, we shall follow\n The ways that we found\n Our fathers (following).\"\nWhat! even if it is\n Satan beckoning them\n To the Penalty\n Of the (Blazing) Fire?\n22. Waman yuslim wajhahu ila Allahi wahuwa muhsinun faqadi istamsaka bialAAurwati alwuthqa wa-ila Allahi AAaqibatu al-omoori\n22. Whoever submits\n His whole self to God,\n And is a doer of good,\n Has grasped indeed\n The most trustworthy hand-hold\n And with God rests the End\n And Decision of (all) affairs.\n23. Waman kafara fala yahzunka kufruhu ilayna marjiAAuhum fanunabbi-ohum bima AAamiloo inna Allaha AAaleemun bithati alssudoori\n23. But if any reject Faith,\n Let not his rejection\n Grieve thee: to Us\n Is their Return, and We\n Shall tell them the truth\n Of their deeds: for God\n Knows well all that is\n In (men's) hearts.\n24. NumattiAAuhum qaleelan thumma nadtarruhum ila AAathabin ghaleethin\n24. We grant them their pleasure\n For a little while\n In the end shall We\n Drive them to\n A chastisement unrelenting.\n25. Wala-in saaltahum man khalaqa alssamawati waal-arda layaqoolunna Allahu quli alhamdu lillahi bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoona\n25. If thou ask them,\n Who it is that created\n The heavens and the earth.\n They will certainly say,\n\"God\". Say: \"Praise be to God!\"\n But most of them\n Understand not.\n26. Lillahi ma fee alssamawati waal-ardi inna Allaha huwa alghaniyyu alhameedu\n26. To God belong all things\n In heaven and earth: verily\n God is He (that is)\n Free of all wants,\n Worthy of all praise.\n27. Walaw annama fee al-ardi min shajaratin aqlamun waalbahru yamudduhu min baAAdihi sabAAatu abhurin ma nafidat kalimatu Allahi inna Allaha AAazeezun hakeemun\n27. And if all the trees\n On earth were pens\n And the Ocean (were ink),\n With seven Oceans behind it\n To add to its (supply),\n Yet would not the Words\n Of God be exhausted\n (In the writing): for God\n Is Exalted in power,\n Full of Wisdom.\n28. Ma khalqukum wala baAAthukum illa kanafsin wahidatin inna Allaha sameeAAun baseerun\n28. And your creation\n Or your resurrection\n Is in no wise but\n As an individual soul:\n For God is He Who\n Hears and sees (all things).\n29. Alam tara anna Allaha yooliju allayla fee alnnahari wayooliju alnnahara fee allayli wasakhkhara alshshamsa waalqamara kullun yajree ila ajalin musamman waanna Allaha bima taAAmaloona khabeerun\n29. Seest thou not that\n God merges Night into Day\n And He merges Day into Night;\n That He has subjected the sun,\n And the moon (to His Law),\n Each running its course\n For a term appointed; and\n That God is well acquainted\n With all that ye do?\n30. Thalika bi-anna Allaha huwa alhaqqu waanna ma yadAAoona min doonihi albatilu waanna Allaha huwa alAAaliyyu alkabeeru\n30. That is because God is\n The (only) Reality, and because\n Whatever else they invoke\n Besides Him is Falsehood;\n And because God,\u2014He is\n The Most High, Most Great.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXXI.: Luqm\u0101n (the Wise).: Section 3 (20-30)","type":"page"}
