يٰۗاَيُّہَا النَّاسُ اَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَاۗءُ اِلَى اؘ۝۰ۚ وَاللہُ ہُوَالْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ۝۱۵
Ya ayyuha alnnasu antumu alfuqarao ila Allahi waAllahu huwa alghaniyyu alhameedu

English

Ahmed Ali

O men, it is you who stand in need of God. As for God, He is above all need, worthy of praise.

15

اِنْ يَّشَاْ يُذْہِبْكُمْ وَيَاْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ۝۱۶ۚ
In yasha yuthhibkum wayati bikhalqin jadeedin

He could take you away if He pleased and bring a new creation (in your place).

16

وَمَا ذٰلِكَ عَلَي اللہِ بِعَزِيْزٍ۝۱۷
Wama thalika AAala Allahi biAAazeezin

English

Ahmed Ali

This is well within the power of God.

17

وَ لَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَۃٌ وِّزْرَ اُخْرٰى۝۰ۭ وَاِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَۃٌ اِلٰى حِمْلِہَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْہُ شَيْءٌ وَّلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰى۝۰ۭ اِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّہُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوۃَ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ تَزَكّٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَتَزَكّٰى لِنَفْسِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَاِلَى اللہِ الْمَصِيْرُ۝۱۸
Wala taziru waziratun wizra okhra wain tadAAu muthqalatun ila himliha la yuhmal minhu shayon walaw kana tha qurba innama tunthiru allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi waaqamoo alssalata waman tazakka fainnama yatazakka linafsihi waila Allahi almaseeru

English

Ahmed Ali

No one who carries a burden bears another's load; and even if the burdened soul cry out for help none will carry the least of its burden, however close a relative it may be. You can only warn those who fear their Lord in secret and fulfil their devotional obligations. Whoever grows in goodness does so for himself. To God is the journeying back.

18

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَصِيْرُ۝۱۹ۙ
Wama yastawee alaAAma waalbaseeru

Ahmed Ali

Equal are not the blind and those who can see,

19

وَلَا الظُّلُمٰتُ وَلَا النُّوْرُ۝۲۰ۙ
Wala alththulumatu wala alnnooru

English

Ahmed Ali

Nor darkness and light,

20

وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الْحَــرُوْرُ۝۲۱ۚ
Wala alththillu wala alharooru

English

Ahmed Ali

Nor shade and heat of sunshine.

21

وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْاَحْيَاۗءُ وَلَا الْاَمْوَاتُ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يُسْمِعُ مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۚ وَمَاۗ اَنْتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّنْ فِي الْقُبُوْرِ۝۲۲
Wama yastawee alahyao wala alamwatu inna Allaha yusmiAAu man yashao wama anta bimusmiAAin man fee alquboori

English

Ahmed Ali

Equal are not the living and the dead. Verily God makes those He will to listen; but you cannot make those hear who are in their graves.

22

اِنْ اَنْتَ اِلَّا نَذِيْرٌ۝۲۳
In anta illa natheerun

English

Ahmed Ali

You are only a bearer of warnings.

23

اِنَّاۗ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيْرًا وَّنَذِيْرًا۝۰ۭ وَاِنْ مِّنْ اُمَّۃٍ اِلَّا خَلَا فِيْہَا نَذِيْرٌ۝۲۴
Inna arsalnaka bialhaqqi basheeran wanatheeran wain min ommatin illa khala feeha natheerun

English

Ahmed Ali

We have sent you with the truth, to give glad tidings and to warn. Never has there been a community to which an admonisher was not sent.
