Alam tara ila allatheena baddaloo niAAmata Allahi kufran waahalloo qawmahum dara albawari

Have you not looked at those who repaid God's favours with ingratitude; who pulled their people down to ruin,

They have appointed equals of God to mislead people from His path. Tell them: "Enjoy yourselves (so long as you may). In the end you have to go to Hell."

Ahmed Ali

It is God who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down rain from the sky producing fruits for your food thereby, and made you master of the ships that ply in the oceans by His command, subjected the rivers to your control,

32

وَسَخَّــرَ لَكُمُ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ دَاۗىِٕـبَيْنِ۝۰ۚ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّہَارَ۝۳۳ۚ

He gave you whatsoever you asked. If you try to count the favours of God you will not be able to calculate. Man is most unjust indeed, full of ingratitude.

34

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰہِيْمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ ہٰذَا الْبَلَدَ اٰمِنًا وَّاجْنُبْنِيْ وَبَنِيَّ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ الْاَصْنَامَ۝۳۵ۭ

Rabbi innahunna adlalna katheeran mina alnnasi faman tabiAAanee fainnahu minnee waman AAasanee fainnaka ghafoorun raheemun

Many a man have they led astray, O Lord. So he who follows me is truly of me; but as for him who disobeys me, surely You are forgiving and kind.

36

رَبَّنَاۗ اِنِّىْۗ اَسْكَنْتُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِيْ بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِيْ زَرْعٍ عِنْدَ بَيْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِ۝۰ۙ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوۃَ فَاجْعَلْ اَفْىِٕدَۃً مِّنَ النَّاسِ تَہْوِيْۗ اِلَيْہِمْ وَارْزُقْہُمْ مِّنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّہُمْ يَشْكُرُوْنَ۝۳۷
Rabbana innee askantu min thurriyyatee biwadin ghayri thee zarAAin AAinda baytika almuharrami rabbana liyuqeemoo alssalata faijAAal afidatan mina alnnasi tahwee ilayhim waorzuqhum mina alththamarati laAAallahum yashkuroona

English

Ahmed Ali

I have settled some of my children, O Lord, in a barren valley near Your sacred House, so that, O our Lord, they may be constant in devotion. So put in the hearts of men some kindness for them, and provide fruits for them: They may haply be grateful.
