وَاِنْ تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُہُمْ ءَ اِذَا كُنَّا تُرٰبًا ءَ اِنَّا لَفِيْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ۝۰ۥۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّہِمْ۝۰ۚ وَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ الْاَغْلٰلُ فِيْۗ اَعْنَاقِہِمْ۝۰ۚ وَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ۝۰ۚ ہُمْ فِيْہَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۝۵
Wain taAAjab faAAajabun qawluhum aitha kunna turaban ainna lafee khalqin jadeedin olaika allatheena kafaroo birabbihim waolaika alaghlalu fee aAAnaqihim waolaika ashabu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona

English

Ahmed Ali

If you are surprised, then astonishing is the speech (of those who say:) "Having turned to dust shall we be raised as a new creation?" They are the ones who deny their Lord, and they will have collars around their necks. They are the inmates of Hell, where they will abide for ever.

5

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالسَّيِّـئَۃِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَـنَۃِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِہِمُ الْمَثُلٰتُ۝۰ۭ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ مَغْفِرَۃٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلٰي ظُلْمِہِمْ۝۰ۚ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيْدُ الْعِقَابِ۝۶
WayastaAAjiloonaka bialssayyiati qabla alhasanati waqad khalat min qablihimu almathulatu wainna rabbaka lathoo maghfiratin lilnnasi AAala thulmihim wainna rabbaka lashadeedu alAAiqabi

English

Ahmed Ali

They want you to hasten the evil before the good, even when there have been examples of retribution before them. Though certainly your Lord forgives human beings for their iniquities, your Lord is severe of retribution.

6

وَيَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْلَاۗ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْہِ اٰيَۃٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّہٖ۝۰ۭ اِنَّمَاۗ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ وَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ ہَادٍ۝۷ۧ
Wayaqoolu allatheena kafaroo lawla onzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi innama anta munthirun walikulli qawmin hadin

English

Ahmed Ali

The unbelievers say: "Why no miracle was sent down to him by his Lord?" But you are only a bearer of warnings, and a guide for every nation.

7

اَللہُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ اُنْثٰى وَمَا تَغِيْضُ الْاَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ۝۰ۭ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَہٗ بِمِقْدَارٍ۝۸
Allahu yaAAlamu ma tahmilu kullu ontha wama tagheedu alarhamu wama tazdadu wakullu shayin AAindahu bimiqdarin

English

Ahmed Ali

God is cognisant of what every female carries in her womb, or what the wombs want or exceed (of their disburdening time). With Him all things are in determined measure.

8

عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّہَادَۃِ الْكَبِيْرُ الْمُتَعَالِ۝۹
AAalimu alghaybi waalshshahadati alkabeeru almutaAAali

English

Ahmed Ali

He is the knower of the known and the unknown, the mighty and most high.

9

سَوَاۗءٌ مِّنْكُمْ مَّنْ اَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَنْ جَہَرَ بِہٖ وَمَنْ ہُوَمُسْتَخْفٍؚبِالَّيْلِ وَسَارِبٌۢ بِالنَّہَارِ۝۱۰
Sawaon minkum man asarra alqawla waman jahara bihi waman huwa mustakhfin biallayli wasaribun bialnnahari

English

Ahmed Ali

He who keeps his secret among you is the same to Him as he who speaks out publicly, and he who hides himself in the night and walks freely in the day.

10

لَہٗ مُعَقِّبٰتٌ مِّنْۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْہِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِہٖ يَحْفَظُوْنَہٗ مِنْ اَمْرِ اؘ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتّٰى يُغَيِّرُوْا مَا بِاَنْفُسِہِمْ۝۰ۭ وَاِذَاۗ اَرَادَ اللہُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوْۗءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَہٗ۝۰ۚ وَمَا لَہُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِہٖ مِنْ وَّالٍ۝۱۱
Lahu muAAaqqibatun min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi yahfathoonahu min amri Allahi inna Allaha la yughayyiru ma biqawmin hatta yughayyiroo ma bianfusihim waitha arada Allahu biqawmin sooan fala maradda lahu wama lahum min doonihi min walin

English

Ahmed Ali

His angels keep watch over him in succession (night and day), in front and behind, by God's command. Verily God does not change the state of a people till they change themselves. When God intends misfortune for a people no one can avert it, and no saviour will they have apart from Him.

11

ہُوَالَّذِيْ يُرِيْكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَّطَـمَعًا وَّيُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ۝۱۲ۚ
Huwa allathee yureekumu albarqa khawfan watamaAAan wayunshio alssahaba alththiqala

English

Ahmed Ali

It is He who makes the lightning flash for fear and hope, and raises massive clouds.

12

وَيُسَبِّــحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِہٖ وَالْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃُ مِنْ خِيْفَتِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيْبُ بِہَا مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ وَہُمْ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِي اؘ۝۰ۚ وَہُوَشَدِيْدُ الْمِحَالِ۝۱۳ۭ
Wayusabbihu alrraAAdu bihamdihi waalmalaikatu min kheefatihi wayursilu alssawaAAiqa fayuseebu biha man yashao wahum yujadiloona fee Allahi wahuwa shadeedu almihali

English

Ahmed Ali

The thunder sings His praises, and the angels too, for awe of Him. He sends thunder-bolts and strikes whosoever He will with them: Even then it is God they contend about! But mighty is He in (His) power.

13

لَہٗ دَعْوَۃُ الْحَقِّ۝۰ۭ وَالَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِہٖ لَا يَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ لَہُمْ بِشَيْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْہِ اِلَى الْمَاۗءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاہُ وَمَا ہُوَ بِبَالِغِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَمَا دُعَاۗءُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ۝۱۴
Lahu daAAwatu alhaqqi waallatheena yadAAoona min doonihi la yastajeeboona lahum bishayin illa kabasiti kaffayhi ila almai liyablugha fahu wama huwa bibalighihi wama duAAao alkafireena illa fee dalalin

English

Ahmed Ali

To call on Him is true (supplication). For those they invoke other than Him do not answer them at all, except like a man who stretches his hands towards the water that it reach his mouth, but it will never reach it. Not more than error are the prayers of infidels.
