سورة الزخرف الكريمة :
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
حم [1] وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ [2] إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ [3] وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ [4] أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ الذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ [5] وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِيٍّ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ [6] وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ [7] فَأَهْلَكْنَا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ الْأَوَّلِينَ [8] وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلِيمُ [9] الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ [10] وَالَّذِي نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ [11] وَالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ [12] لِتَسْتَوُوا عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا اسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ [13] وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ [14] وَجَعَلُوا لَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ جُزْءًا ۚ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ [15] أَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَاكُم بِالْبَنِينَ [16] وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ [17] أَوَمَن يُنَشَّأُ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي الْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ [18] وَجَعَلُوا الْمَلَائِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَٰنِ إِنَاثًا ۚ أَشَهِدُوا خَلْقَهُمْ ۚ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَيُسْأَلُونَ [19] وَقَالُوا لَوْ شَاءَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَاهُم ۗ مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ [20] أَمْ آتَيْنَاهُمْ كِتَابًا مِّن قَبْلِهِ فَهُم بِهِ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ [21] بَلْ قَالُوا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ [22] وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ [23] ۞ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِ كَافِرُونَ [24] فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۖ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ [25] وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ إِنَّنِي بَرَاءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ [26] إِلَّا الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي فَإِنَّهُ سَيَهْدِينِ [27] وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةً بَاقِيَةً فِي عَقِبِهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ [28] بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَٰؤُلَاءِ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ [29] وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ قَالُوا هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِ كَافِرُونَ [30] وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ [31] أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ۚ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا ۗ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ [32] وَلَوْلَا أَن يَكُونَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِالرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ [33] وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَابًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِئُونَ [34] وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَالْآخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ [35] وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيْطَانًا فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرِينٌ [36] وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ [37] حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَنَا قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرِينُ [38] وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ [39] أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِي الْعُمْيَ وَمَن كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ [40] فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ [41] أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ الَّذِي وَعَدْنَاهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ [42] فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِالَّذِي أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ [43] وَإِنَّهُ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ ۖ وَسَوْفَ تُسْأَلُونَ [44] وَاسْأَلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَا أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ آلِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ [45] وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ [46] فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِآيَاتِنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ [47] وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ إِلَّا هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا ۖ وَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ [48] وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَ السَّاحِرُ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ [49] فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ [50] وَنَادَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي قَوْمِهِ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِي مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَٰذِهِ الْأَنْهَارُ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِي ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ [51] أَمْ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ [52] فَلَوْلَا أُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَاءَ مَعَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ [53] فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُ فَأَطَاعُوهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ [54] فَلَمَّا آسَفُونَا انتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ [55] فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْآخِرِينَ [56] ۞ وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ [57] وَقَالُوا أَآلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ ۚ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ [58] إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ [59] وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنكُم مَّلَائِكَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ [60] وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُونِ ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ [61] وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ [62] وَلَمَّا جَاءَ عِيسَىٰ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَلِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ [63] إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ [64] فَاخْتَلَفَ الْأَحْزَابُ مِن بَيْنِهِمْ ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ [65] هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا السَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ [66] الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ [67] يَا عِبَادِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَا أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ [68] الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ [69] ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنتُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُونَ [70] يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِصِحَافٍ مِّن ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ ۖ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ الْأَنفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ ۖ وَأَنتُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ [71] وَتِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ [72] لَكُمْ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِّنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ [73] إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدُونَ [74] لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ [75] وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا هُمُ الظَّالِمِينَ [76] وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ ۖ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّاكِثُونَ [77] لَقَدْ جِئْنَاكُم بِالْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ [78] أَمْ أَبْرَمُوا أَمْرًا فَإِنَّا مُبْرِمُونَ [79] أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ [80] قُلْ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْعَابِدِينَ [81] سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ [82] فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ [83] وَهُوَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ إِلَٰهٌ وَفِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَٰهٌ ۚ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ [84] وَتَبَارَكَ الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ [85] وَلَا يَمْلِكُ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ [86] وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ [87] وَقِيلِهِ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ [88] فَاصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَامٌ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ [89]

[ Holy Quran – Chapter : 43 - Surat : Az-Zukhruf (Gold ) – Verses : 1 - 89 ]
In the name of Allah the Almighty God , the Most Beneficent , the Most Merciful .
Hâ¬Mîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân,
and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings]. (1) By the manifest Book
(i.e. this Qur'ân that makes things clear). (2) Verily, we have made
it a Qur'ân in Arabic, that you may be able to understand (its
meanings and its admonitions). (3) And Verily, it (this Qur'ân) is in the
Mother of the Book (i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz), with Us, indeed Exalted, full
of Wisdom. (4) Shall We then (warn you not and) take away the Reminder (this
Qur'ân) from you, because you are a people Musrifûn.[] (5) And how many a
Prophet have We sent amongst the men of old. (6) And never came there a Prophet
to them but they used to mock at him. (7) Then We destroyed men stronger (in
power) than these,— and the example of the ancients has passed away
(before them) (8) And indeed if you ask them, "Who has created the heavens
and the earth?" They will surely say: "The All-Mighty, the All-Knower
created them." (9) Who has made for you the earth like a bed, and has made
for you roads therein, in order that you may find your way, (10)And Who sends
down water (rain) from the sky in due measure. then We revive a dead land
therewith, and even so you will be brought forth (from the gaves), (11) And Who
has created all the pairs and has appointed for you ships and cattle on which
you ride; (12) In order that you may mount on their backs, and then may
remember the Favour of your Lord when you mount thereon, and say: "Glory
to Him who has subjected this to us, and we could never have it (by our
efforts)." (13) And verily, to Our Lord we indeed are to return! (14) Yet
they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has
children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him).
Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate! (15) Or has He taken daughters out of
what He has created, and He has selected for you sons? (16) And if one of them
is informed of the news of (the birth of a girl) that which he set forth as a
parable to the Most Gracious (Allâh) (i.e. of a girl), his face becomes dark,
gloomy, and he is filled with grief! (17) (Like they then for Allâh) a creature
who is brought up in adornments (wearing silk and gold ornaments, i.e. women),
and who in dispute cannot make herself clear? (18) And they make the angels who
themselves are slaves of the Most Gracious (Allâh) females. Did they witness
their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned!
(19) And they said: "If it had been the Will of the Most Gracious (Allâh),
we should not have worshipped them (false deities)." They have no
knowledge whatsoever of that. They do nothing but lie! (20) Or have We given
them any Book before this (the Qur'ân), to which they are holding fast? (21) Nay!
They say: "We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and
we guide ourselves by their footsteps." (22)And similarly, We sent
not a warner before you (O Muhammad SAW) to any town (people) but the luxurious
ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain way and
religion, and we will indeed follow their footsteps." (23) (The warner)
said: "Even if I bring you better guidance than that which you found your
fathers following?" They said: "Verily, We disbelieve in that with
which you have been sent." (24) So We took revenge of them, then
see what was the end of those who denied (Islâmic Monotheism). (25) And
(remember) when Ibrahîm (Abraham) said to his father and his people:
"Verily, I am innocent of what you worship, (26) "Except Him (i.e.
but Allâh Alone I worship none) Who did create me, and verily, He
will guide me." (27) And he made it [i.e. Lâ ilâha ill-allâh (none has the
right to be worshipped but Allâh Alone)] a Word lasting among his offspring,
that they may turn back (i.e. to repent to Allâh or receive admonition). (28)
Nay, but I gave (the good things of this life) to these (polytheists) and their
fathers to enjoy, till there came to them the truth (the Qur'ân), and a
Messenger (Muhammad SAW) making things clear. (29) And when the truth (this
Qur'ân) came to them, they (the disbelievers in this Qur'ân) said: "This
is magic, and we disbelieve therein." (30) And they say: "Why is not
this Qur'ân sent down to some great man of the two towns (Makkah and
Tâ'if)?" (31) Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord? It
is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in this world,
and We raised some of them above others in ranks, so that some may employ
others in their work. But the Mercy (Paradise) of your Lord (O Muhammad SAW) is
better than the (wealth of this world) which they amass. (32) And were it not
that all mankind would have become of one community (all disbelievers, desiring
worldly life only), We would have provided for those who disbelieve in the Most
Gracious (Allâh), silver roofs for their houses, and elevators whereby they
ascend, (33)And for their houses, doors (of silver), and thrones (of
silver) on which they could recline, (34) And adornments of gold. Yet all this
(i.e. the roofs, doors, stairs, elevators, thrones of their houses) would
have been nothing but an enjoyment of this world. And the Hereafter with your
Lord is (only) for the Muttaqûn.[] (35) And whosoever turns away blindly from
the remembrance of the Most Gracious (Allâh) (i.e. this Qur'ân and worship of
Allâh), We appoint for him Shaitân (Satan devil) to be a Qarîn (a intimate
companion) to him. (36) And verily, they (Satans / devils) hinder them from the
Path (of Allâh), but they think that they are guided aright! (37) Till, when
(such a one) comes to Us, he says [to his Qarîn (Satan / devil companion)]
"Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts (or the
east and west)" a worst (type of) companion (indeed)! (38) It will profit
you not this Day (O you who turn away from Allâh's remembrance and His worship)
as you did wrong, (and) that you will be sharers (you and your Qarîn) in the
punishment. (39) Can you (O Muhammad SAW) make the deaf to hear, or can you
guide the blind or him who is in manifest error? (40) And even if We take
you (O Muhammad SAW) away, We shall indeed take vengeance on them. (41) Or
(if) We show you that wherewith We threaten them, then verily, We
have perfect command over them. (42) So hold you (O Muhammad SAW) fast to that
which is revealed to you. Verily you are on the Straight Path. (43) And verily,
this (the Qur'ân) is indeed a Reminder for you (O Muhammad SAW) and your people
(Quraish people, or your followers), and you will be questioned (about it). (44)
And ask (O Muhammad SAW) those of Our Messengers whom We sent before
you: "Did We ever appoint âlihah (gods) to be worshipped besides the Most
Gracious (Allâh)?" (45) And indeed We did send Mûsa (Moses) with
Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to Fir'aun
(Pharaoh) and his chiefs (inviting them to Allâh's religion of Islâm) He said:
"Verily, I am a Messenger of the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and
all that exists)." (46) But when he came to them with Our Ayât (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) behold, they laughed at them. (47)And
not an Ayâh (sign, etc.) We showed them but it was greater than its
fellow, and We seized them with torment, in order that they might
turn [from their polytheism to Allâh's religion (Islâmic Monotheism)]. (48) And
they said [to Mûsa (Moses)]: "O you sorcerer! Invoke your Lord for us
according to what He has covenanted with you. Verily, We shall guide
ourselves (aright)." (49) But when We removed the torment from
them, behold, they broke their covenant (that they will believe if We remove
the torment from them). (50) And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people,
(saying:) "O my people! Is not mine the dominion of Egypt, and these
rivers flowing underneath me. See you not then? (51) "Am I not better than
this one [Mûsa (Moses)], who is despicable] and can scarcely express himself
clearly? (52) "Why then are not golden bracelets bestowed on him, or
angels sent along with him?" (53) Thus he [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] befooled
(and misled) his people, and they obeyed him. Verily, they were ever
a people who were Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). (54) So when they
angered Us, We punished them, and drowned them all. (55) And We made
them a precedent (as a lesson for those coming after them), and an example to
later generations. (56) And when the son of Maryam (Mary) is quoted as an
example [i.e. 'Īsā (Jesus) is worshipped like their idols), behold! Your people
cry aloud (laugh out at the example). (57) And say: "Are our âlihah (gods)
better or is he ['Īsā (Jesus)]?" They quoted not the above example except
for argument. Nay! But they are a quarrelsome people. [(See VV. 21:97-101)]
(58) He ['Īsā (Jesus)] was not more than a slave. We granted Our Favour to him,
and We made him an example for the Children of Israel (i.e.
his creation without a father). (59) And if it were Our Will, We would have
[destroyed you (mankind) all, and] made angels to replace you on the earth.
[Tafsir At-Tabarî]. (60)And he ['Īsā (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)] shall be a
known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [i.e. 'Īsā's
(Jesus) descent on the earth][] . Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e.
the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allâh) (i.e. be obedient to
Allâh and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path
(of Islâmic Monotheism, leading to Allâh and to His Paradise). (61) And
let not Shaitân (Satan) hinder you (from the right religion, i.e. Islâmic Monotheism),
Verily, he (Satan) to you is a plain enemy. (62) And when 'Īsā (Jesus) came
with (Our) clear Proofs, he said: "I have come to you with Al-Hikmah
(Prophethood), and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) in which
you differ, Therefore fear Allâh and obey me, (63) "Verily, Allâh! He is
my Lord (God) and your Lord (God). So worship Him (Alone). This is
the (only) Straight Path (i.e. Allâh's religion of true Islâmic
Monotheism)." (64) But the sects from among themselves differed. So woe to
those who do wrong (by ascribing things to 'Īsā (Jesus) that are not true) from
the torment of a painful Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)! (65) Do they only
wait for the Hour that it shall come upon them suddenly, while they perceive
not? (66) Friends on that Day will be foes one to another except Al-Muttaqûn
(pious - see V.2:2) (67) It will be said to the true believers of Islâmic
Monotheism): My worshippers! No fear shall be on you this Day, nor shall you
grieve, (68) (You) who believed in Our Ayât (proofs, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) and were Muslims (i.e. who submit totally to Allâh's Will,
and believe in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) (69) Enter Paradise,
you and your wives, in happiness. (70) Trays of gold and cups will be passed
round them, (there will be) therein all that the inner-selves could desire, and
all that the eyes could delight in, and you will abide therein forever. (71)
This is the Paradise which you have been made to inherit because of
your deeds which you used to do (in the life of the world). (72) Therein for
you will be fruits in plenty, of which you will eat (as you desire). (73)Verily,
the Mujrimûn (criminals, sinners, disbelievers) will be in the torment of Hell
to abide therein forever. (74) (The torment) will not be lightened for them,
and they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in
despair therein. (75) We wronged them not, but they were the Zâlimûn
(polytheists, wrong-doers). (76) And they will cry: "O Malik (Keeper of
Hell)! Let your Lord make an end of us." He will say: "Verily you
shall abide forever." (77) Indeed We have brought the truth (Muhammad SAW
with the Qur'ân), to you, but most of you have a hatred for the truth.[] (78)
Or have they plotted some plan? Then We too are planning. (79) Or do
they think that We hear not their secrets and their private counsel?
(Yes We do) and Our Messengers (appointed angels in charge of
mankind) are by them, to record. (80) Say (O Muhammad SAW): "If the Most
Gracious (Allâh) had a son (or children as you pretend), then I am the first of
Allâh's worshippers [who deny and refute this claim of yours (and the first to
believe in Allâh Alone and testify that He has no children)]." [Tafsir
At-Tabarî]. (81) Glorified is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord
of the Throne! Exalted is He from all that they ascribe (to Him). (82) So leave
them (alone) to speak nonsense and play until they meet the Day of theirs,
which they have been promised. (83) It is He (Allâh) Who is the only
Ilâh (God to be worshipped) in the heaven and the only Ilâh (God to be
worshipped) on the earth. And He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower. (84)
And Blessed is He to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the
earth, and all that is between them, and with Whom is the knowledge of the
Hour, and to Whom you (all) will be returned. (85) And those whom they invoke
instead of Him have no power of intercession — except for those who bear
witness to the truth knowingly (i.e. believed in the Oneness of Allâh, and
obeyed His Orders), and they know (the facts about the Oneness of Allâh)[] (86)
And if you ask them who created them, they will surely say: "Allâh".
How then are they turned away (from the worship of Allâh, Who created them)? (87)
(And Allâh has knowledge) of (Prophet Muhammad's) saying: "O my Lord!
Verily, these are a people who believe not!" (88) So turn away from them
(O Muhammad SAW), and say: Salâm (peace)! But they will come to know. (89)
