In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
043.001
Y: Ha-Mim.
P: Ha. Mim.
S: Ha Mim.
043.002
Y: By the Book that makes things clear,-
P: By the Scripture which maketh plain,
S: I swear by the Book that makes things clear:
043.003
Y: We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand
(and learn wisdom).
P: Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture, in Arabic that haply ye may
understand.
S: Surely We have made it an Arabic Quran that you may understand.
043.004
Y: And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in Our Presence, high
(in dignity), full of wisdom.
P: And Lo! in the Source of Decrees, which We possess, it is indeed
sublime, decisive.
S: And surely it is in the original of the Book with Us, truly elevated,
full of wisdom.
043.005
Y: Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you), for
that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds?
P: Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk?
S: What! shall We then turn away the reminder from you altogether
because you are an extravagant people?
043.006
Y: But how many were the prophets We sent amongst the peoples of old?
P: How many a prophet did We send among the men of old!
S: And how many a prophet have We sent among the ancients.
043.007
Y: And never came there a prophet to them but they mocked him.
P: And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.
S: And there came not to them a prophet but they mocked at him.
043.008
Y: So We destroyed (them)- stronger in power than these;- and (thus) has
passed on the Parable of the peoples of old.
P: Then We destroyed men mightier than these in prowess; and the example
of the men of old hath gone (before them).
S: Then We destroyed those who were stronger than these in prowess, and
the case of the ancients has gone before,
043.009
Y: If thou wert to question them, 'Who created the heavens and the
earth?' They would be sure to reply, 'they were created by (Him), the
Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge';-
P: And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and the
earth, they will surely answer: The Mighty, the Knower created them;
S: And if you should ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth?
they would most certainly say: The Mighty, the Knowing One, has created
them;
043.010
Y: (Yea, the same that) has made for you the earth (like a carpet)
spread out, and has made for you roads (and channels) therein, in order
that ye may find guidance (on the way);
P: Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and placed roads for you
therein, that haply ye may find your way;
S: He Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and made in it ways
for you that you may go aright;
043.011
Y: That sends down (from time to time) rain from the sky in due
measure;- and We raise to life therewith a land that is dead; even so
will ye be raised (from the dead);-
P: And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We
revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
S: And He Who sends down water from the cloud according to a measure,
then We raise to life thereby a dead country, even thus shall you be
brought forth;
043.012
Y: That has created pairs in all things, and has made for you ships and
cattle on which ye ride,
P: He Who created all the pairs, and appointed for you ships and cattle
whereupon ye ride.
S: And He Who created pairs of all things, and made for you of the ships
and the cattle what you ride on,
043.013
Y: In order that ye may sit firm and square on their backs, and when so
seated, ye may celebrate the (kind) favour of your Lord, and say,
"Glory to Him Who has subjected these to our (use), for we could never
have accomplished this (by ourselves),"
P: That ye may mount upon their backs, and may remember your Lord's
favour when ye mount thereon, and may say: Glorified be He Who hath
subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them);
S: That you may firmly sit on their backs, then remember the favor of
your Lord when you are firmly seated thereon, and say: Glory be to Him
Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it,
043.014
Y: "And to our Lord, surely, must we turn back!"
P: And lo! unto our Lord we surely are returning.
S: And surely to our Lord we must return.
043.015
Y: Yet they attribute to some of His servants a share with Him (in his
godhead)! truly is man a blasphemous ingrate avowed!
P: And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is verily a
mere ingrate.
S: And they assign to Him a part of His servants; man, to be sure, is
clearly ungrateful.
043.016
Y: What! has He taken daughters out of what He himself creates, and
granted to you sons for choice?
P: Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created, and honoureth
He you with sons?
S: What! has He taken daughters to Himself of what He Himself creates
and chosen you to have sons?
043.017
Y: When news is brought to one of them of (the birth of) what he sets up
as a likeness to (Allah) Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he is
filled with inward grief!
P: And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the
Beneficent One, his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward
rage.
S: And when one of them is given news of that of which he sets up as a
likeness for the Beneficent Allah, his face becomes black and he is
full of rage.
043.018
Y: Is then one brought up among trinkets, and unable to give a clear
account in a dispute (to be associated with Allah)?
P: (Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and
in dispute cannot make itself plain?
S: What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is
unable to make plain speech!
043.019
Y: And they make into females angels who themselves serve Allah. Did
they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they
will be called to account!
P: And they make the angels, who are the slaves of the Beneficent,
females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be
recorded and they will be questioned.
S: And they make the angels-- them who are the servants of the
Beneficent Allah-- female (divinities). What! did they witness their
creation? Their evidence shall be written down and they shall be
questioned.
043.020
Y: ("Ah!") they say, "If it had been the will of (Allah) Most Gracious,
we should not have worshipped such (deities)!" Of that they have no
knowledge! they do nothing but lie!
P: And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not
have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They
do but guess.
S: And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, we should never
have worshipped them. They have no knowledge of this; they only lie.
043.021
Y: What! have We given them a Book before this, to which they are
holding fast?
P: Or have We given them any scripture before (this Qur'an) so that they
are holding fast thereto?
S: Or have We given them a book before it so that they hold fast to it?
043.022
Y: Nay! they say: "We found our fathers following a certain religion,
and we do guide ourselves by their footsteps."
P: Nay, for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a
religion, and we are guided by their footprints.
S: Nay! they say: We found our fathers on a course, and surely we are
guided by their footsteps.
043.023
Y: Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any
people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers
following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their
footsteps."
P: And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any
township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers
following a religion, and we are following their footprints.
S: And thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those
who led easy lives in it said: Surely we found our fathers on a course,
and surely we are followers of their footsteps.
043.024
Y: He said: "What! Even if I brought you better guidance than that which
ye found your fathers following?" They said: "For us, we deny that ye
(prophets) are sent (on a mission at all)."
P: (And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better guidance
than that ye found your fathers following? They answered: Lo! in what
ye bring we are disbelievers.
S: (The warner) said: What! even if I bring to you a better guide than
that on which you found your fathers? They said: Surely we are
unbelievers in that with which you are sent.
043.025
Y: So We exacted retribution from them: now see what was the end of
those who rejected (Truth)!
P: So We requited them. Then see the nature of the consequence for the
rejecters!
S: So We inflicted retribution on them, then see how was the end of the
rejecters.
043.026
Y: Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: "I do indeed clear
myself of what ye worship:"
P: And when Abraham said unto his father and his folk: Lo! I am innocent
of what ye worship
S: And when Ibrahim said to his father and his people: Surely I am clear
of what you worship,
043.027
Y: "(I worship) only Him Who made me, and He will certainly guide me."
P: Save Him Who did create me, for He will surely guide me.
S: Save Him Who created me, for surely He will guide me.
043.028
Y: And he left it as a Word to endure among those who came after him,
that they may turn back (to Allah).
P: And he made it a word enduring among his seed, that haply they might
return.
S: And he made it a word to continue in his posterity that they may
return.
043.029
Y: Yea, I have given the good things of this life to these (men) and
their fathers, until the Truth has come to them, and a messenger making
things clear.
P: Nay, but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till there
should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.
S: Nay! I gave them and their fathers to enjoy until there came to them
the truth and a Messenger making manifest (the truth).
043.030
Y: But when the Truth came to them, they said: "This is sorcery, and we
do reject it."
P: And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere
magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.
S: And when there came to them the truth they said: This is magic, and
surely we are disbelievers in it.
043.031
Y: Also, they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some leading man
in either of the two (chief) cities?"
P: And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man
of the two towns?
S: And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a man of importance
in the two towns?
043.032
Y: Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who
portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world:
and We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may
command work from others. But the Mercy of thy Lord is better than the
(wealth) which they amass.
P: Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy? We have apportioned among
them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them
above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and
the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.
S: Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them
their livelihood in the life of this world, and We have exalted some
of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in
subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.
043.033
Y: And were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of
life, We would provide, for everyone that blasphemes against (Allah)
Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses and (silver) stair-ways on
which to go up,
P: And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We
might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent,
roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to
mount,
S: And were it not that all people had been a single nation, We would
certainly have assigned to those who disbelieve in the Beneficent Allah
(to make) of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs by which
they ascend.
043.034
Y: And (silver) doors to their houses, and thrones (of silver) on which
they could recline,
P: And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon
to recline,
S: And the doors of their houses and the couches on which they recline,
043.035
Y: And also adornments of gold. But all this were nothing but
conveniences of the present life: The Hereafter, in the sight of thy
Lord is for the Righteous.
P: And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision
of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have
been for those who keep from evil.
S: And (other) embellishments of gold; and all this is naught but
provision of this world's life, and the hereafter is with your Lord
only for those who guard (against evil).
043.036
Y: If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of (Allah) Most
Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion
to him.
P: And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We
assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;
S: And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the Beneficent
Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan, so he becomes his associate.
043.037
Y: Such (evil ones) really hinder them from the Path, but they think
that they are being guided aright!
P: And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they
deem that they are rightly guided;
S: And most surely they turn them away from the path, and they think
that they are guided aright:
043.038
Y: At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil
companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of East
and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)!
P: Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would
that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons -
an evil comrade!
S: Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and you
there were the distance of the East and the West; so evil is the
associate!
043.039
Y: When ye have done wrong, it will avail you nothing, that Day, that ye
shall be partners in Punishment!
P: And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will
be sharers in the doom.
S: And since you were unjust, it will not profit you this day that you
are sharers in the chastisement.
043.040
Y: Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind
or to such as (wander) in manifest error?
P: Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the
blind or him who is in error manifest?
S: What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him
who is in clear error?
043.041
Y: Even if We take thee away, We shall be sure to exact retribution from
them,
P: And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them,
S: But if We should take you away, still We shall inflict retribution on
them;
043.042
Y: Or We shall show thee that (accomplished) which We have promised
them: for verily We shall prevail over them.
P: Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have
complete command of them.
S: Rather We will certainly show you that which We have promised them;
for surely We are the possessors of full power over them.
043.043
Y: So hold thou fast to the Revelation sent down to thee; verily thou
art on a Straight Way.
P: So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on
a right path.
S: Therefore hold fast to that which has been revealed to you; surely
you are on the right path.
043.044
Y: The (Qur'an) is indeed the message, for thee and for thy people; and
soon shall ye (all) be brought to account.
P: And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye
will be questioned.
S: And most surely it is a reminder for you and your people, and you
shall soon be questioned.
043.045
Y: And question thou our messengers whom We sent before thee; did We
appoint any deities other than (Allah) Most Gracious, to be worshipped?
P: And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever
appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent?
S: And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before you: Did We ever
appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah?
043.046
Y: We did send Moses aforetime, with Our Signs, to Pharaoh and his
Chiefs: He said, "I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds."
P: And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his
chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.
S: And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications to Firon and his
chiefs, so he said: Surely I am the messenger of the Lord of the
worlds.
043.047
Y: But when he came to them with Our Signs, behold they ridiculed them.
P: But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them.
S: But when he came to them with Our signs, lo! they laughed at them.
043.048
Y: We showed them Sign after Sign, each greater than its fellow, and We
seized them with Punishment, in order that they might turn (to Us).
P: And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister
(token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might
turn again.
S: And We did not show them a sign but it was greater than its like, and
We overtook them with chastisement that they may turn.
043.049
Y: And they said, "O thou sorcerer! Invoke thy Lord for us according to
His covenant with thee; for we shall truly accept guidance."
P: And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He
hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.
S: And they said: O magician! call on your Lord for our sake, as He has
made the covenant with you; we shall surely be the followers of the
right way.
043.050
Y: But when We removed the Penalty from them, behold, they broke their
word.
P: But when We eased them of the torment, behold! they broke their word.
S: But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! they broke the
pledge.
043.051
Y: And Pharaoh proclaimed among his people, saying: "O my people! Does
not the dominion of Egypt belong to me, (witness) these streams flowing
underneath my (palace)? What! see ye not then?"
P: And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying:
O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers
flowing under me? Can ye not then discern?
S: And Firon proclaimed amongst his people: O my people! is not the
kingdom of Egypt mine? And these rivers flow beneath me; do you not
then see?
043.052
Y: "Am I not better than this (Moses), who is a contemptible wretch and
can scarcely express himself clearly?"
P: I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly
make (his meaning) plain!
S: Nay! I am better than this fellow, who is contemptible, and who can
hardly speak distinctly:
043.053
Y: "Then why are not gold bracelets bestowed on him, or (why) come (not)
with him angels accompanying him in procession?"
P: Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent
along with him?
S: But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have
there not come with him angels as companions?
043.054
Y: Thus did he make fools of his people, and they obeyed him: truly were
they a people rebellious (against Allah).
P: Thus he persuaded his people to make light (of Moses), and they
obeyed him. Lo! they were a wanton folk.
S: So he incited his people to levity and they obeyed him: surely they
were a transgressing people.
043.055
Y: When at length they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them,
and We drowned them all.
P: So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned them every
one.
S: Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted a retribution on them, so
We drowned them all together,
043.056
Y: And We made them (a people) of the Past and an Example to later ages.
P: And We made them a thing past, and an example for those after (them).
S: And We made them a precedent and example to the later generations.
043.057
Y: When (Jesus) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy
people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!
P: And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example, behold! the folk
laugh out,
S: And when a description of the son of Marium is given, lo! your people
raise a clamor thereat.
043.058
Y: And they say, "Are our gods best, or he?" This they set forth to
thee, only by way of disputation: yea, they are a contentious people.
P: And say: Are our gods better, or is he? They raise not the objection
save for argument. Nay! but they are a contentious folk.
S: And they say: Are our gods better, or is he? They do not set it forth
to you save by way of disputation; nay, they are a contentious people.
043.059
Y: He was no more than a servant: We granted Our favour to him, and We
made him an example to the Children of Israel.
P: He is nothing but a slave on whom We bestowed favour, and We made him
a pattern for the Children of Israel.
S: He was naught but a servant on whom We bestowed favor, and We made
him an example for the children of Israel.
043.060
Y: And if it were Our Will, We could make angels from amongst you,
succeeding each other on the earth.
P: And had We willed We could have set among you angels to be viceroys
in the earth.
S: And if We please, We could make among you angels to be successors in
the land.
043.061
Y: And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of
Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me:
this is a Straight Way.
P: And lo! verily there is knowledge of the Hour. So doubt ye not
concerning it, but follow Me. This is the right path.
S: And most surely it is a knowledge of the hour, therefore have no
doubt about it and follow me: this is the right path.
043.062
Y: Let not the Evil One hinder you: for he is to you an enemy avowed.
P: And let not Satan turn you aside. Lo! he is an open enemy for you.
S: And let not the Shaitan prevent you; surely he is your open enemy.
043.063
Y: When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you
with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on
which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me."
P: When Jesus came with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), he said:
I have come unto you with wisdom, and to make plain some of that
concerning which ye differ. So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
S: And when Isa came with clear arguments he said: I have come to you
indeed with wisdom, and that I may make clear to you part of what you
differ in; so be careful of (your duty to) Allah and obey me:
043.064
Y: "For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a
Straight Way."
P: Lo! Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is a
right path.
S: Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is
the right path:
043.065
Y: But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to
the wrong-doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!
P: But the factions among them differed. Then woe unto those who do
wrong from the doom of a painful day.
S: But parties from among them differed, so woe to those who were unjust
because of the chastisement of a painful day.
043.066
Y: Do they only wait for the Hour - that it should come on them all of a
sudden, while they perceive not?
P: Await they aught save the Hour, that it shall come upon them
suddenly, when they know not?
S: Do they wait for aught but the hour, that it should come upon them
all of a sudden while they do not perceive?
043.067
Y: Friends on that day will be foes, one to another,- except the
Righteous.
P: Friends on that day will be foes one to another, save those who kept
their duty (to Allah).
S: The friends shall on that day be enemies one to another, except those
who guard (against evil).
043.068
Y: My devotees! no fear shall be on you that Day, nor shall ye grieve,-
P: O My slaves! For you there is no fear this day, nor is it ye who
grieve;
S: O My servants! there is no fear for you this day, nor shall you
grieve.
043.069
Y: (Being) those who have believed in Our Signs and bowed (their wills
to Ours) in Islam.
P: (Ye) who believed Our revelations and were self-surrendered,
S: Those who believed in Our communications and were submissive:
043.070
Y: Enter ye the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing.
P: Enter the Garden, ye and your wives, to be made glad.
S: Enter the garden, you and your wives; you shall be made happy.
043.071
Y: To them will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there will
be there all that the souls could desire, all that their ayes could
delight in: and ye shall abide therein (for eye).
P: Therein are brought round for them trays of gold and goblets, and
therein is all that souls desire and eyes find sweet. And ye are
immortal therein.
S: There shall be sent round to them golden bowls and drinking-cups and
therein shall be what their souls yearn after and (wherein) the eyes
shall delight, and you shall abide therein.
043.072
Y: Such will be the Garden of which ye are made heirs for your (good)
deeds (in life).
P: This is the Garden which ye are made to inherit because of what ye
used to do.
S: And this is the garden which you are given as an inheritance on
account of what you did.
043.073
Y: Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have
satisfaction.
P: Therein for you is fruit in plenty whence to eat.
S: For you therein are many fruits of which you shall eat.
043.074
Y: The sinners will be in the Punishment of Hell, to dwell therein (for
aye):
P: Lo! the guilty are immortal in hell's torment.
S: Surely the guilty shall abide in the chastisement of hell.
043.075
Y: Nowise will the (Punishment) be lightened for them, and in despair
will they be there overwhelmed.
P: It is not relaxed for them, and they despair therein.
S: It shall not be abated from them and they shall therein be
despairing.
043.076
Y: Nowise shall We be unjust to them: but it is they who have been
unjust themselves.
P: We wronged them not, but they it was who did the wrong.
S: And We are not unjust to them, but they themselves were unjust.
043.077
Y: They will cry: "O Malik! would that thy Lord put an end to us!" He
will say, "Nay, but ye shall abide!"
P: And they cry: O master! Let thy Lord make an end of us. He saith: Lo!
here ye must remain.
S: And they shall call out: O Malik! let your Lord make an end of us. He
shall say: Surely you shall tarry.
043.078
Y: Verily We have brought the Truth to you: but most of you have a
hatred for Truth.
P: We verily brought the Truth unto you, but ye were, most of you,
averse to the Truth.
S: Certainly We have brought you the truth, but most of you are averse
to the truth.
043.079
Y: What! have they settled some plan (among themselves)? But it is We
Who settle things.
P: Or do they determine any thing (against the Prophet)? Lo! We (also)
