اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يَسْتَحْىٖۗ اَنْ يَّضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا بَعُوْضَۃً فَـمَا فَوْقَہَا۝۰ۭ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فَيَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّہُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّہِمْ۝۰ۚ وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَاذَاۗ اَرَادَ اللہُ بِہٰذَا مَثَلًا۝۰ۘ يُضِلُّ بِہٖ كَثِيْرًا۝۰ۙ وَّيَہْدِىْ بِہٖ كَثِيْرًا۝۰ۭ وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِہٖۗ اِلَّا الْفٰسِقِيْنَ۝۲۶ۙ
Inna Allaha la yastahyee an yadriba mathalan ma baAAoodatan fama fawqaha faamma allatheena amanoo fayaAAlamoona annahu alhaqqu min rabbihim waamma allatheena kafaroo fayaqooloona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan yudillu bihi katheeran wayahdee bihi katheeran wama yudillu bihi illa alfasiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

God is not loath to advance the similitude of a gnat or a being more contemptible; and those who believe know whatever is from the Lord is true. But those who disbelieve say: "What does God mean by this parable?" He causes some to err this way, and some He guides; yet He turns away none but those who transgress,

26

الَّذِيْنَ يَنْقُضُوْنَ عَہْدَ اللہِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مِيْثَاقِہٖ ۝۰۠ وَيَقْطَعُوْنَ مَاۗ اَمَرَ اللہُ بِہٖۗ اَنْ يُّوْصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ ھُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ۝۲۷
Allatheena yanqudoona AAahda Allahi min baAAdi meethaqihi wayaqtaAAoona ma amara Allahu bihi an yoosala wayufsidoona fee alardi olaika humu alkhasiroona

English

Ahmed Ali

Who, having sealed it, break God's covenant, dividing what He ordained cohered; and those who spread discord in the land will suffer assuredly.

27

كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاللہِ وَكُنْتُمْ اَمْوَاتًا فَاَحْيَاكُمْ۝۰ۚ ثُمَّ يُمِيْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيْكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلَيْہِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ۝۲۸
Kayfa takfuroona biAllahi wakuntum amwatan faahyakum thumma yumeetukum thumma yuhyeekum thumma ilayhi turjaAAoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then how can you disbelieve in God? He gave you life when you were dead. He will make you die again then bring you back to life: To Him then you will return.

28

ھُوَالَّذِىْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا ۝۰ۤ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰۗى اِلَى السَّمَاۗءِ فَسَوّٰىھُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ۝۰ۭ وَھُوَبِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ۝۲۹ۧ
Huwa allathee khalaqa lakum ma fee alardi jameeAAan thumma istawa ila alssamai fasawwahunna sabAAa samawatin wahuwa bikulli shayin AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

He made for you all that lies within the earth, then turning to the firmament He proportioned several skies: He has knowledge of everything.

29

وَاِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃِ اِنِّىْ جَاعِلٌ فِى الْاَرْضِ خَلِيْفَۃً۝۰ۭ قَالُوْۗا اَتَجْعَلُ فِيْہَا مَنْ يُّفْسِدُ فِيْہَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاۗءَ۝۰ۚ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ۝۰ۭ قَالَ اِنِّىْۗ اَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۳۰
Waith qala rabbuka lilmalaikati innee jaAAilun fee alardi khaleefatan qaloo atajAAalu feeha man yufsidu feeha wayasfiku alddimaa wanahnu nusabbihu bihamdika wanuqaddisu laka qala innee aAAlamu ma la taAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember, when your Lord said to the angels: "I have to place a trustee on the earth," they said: "Will You place one there who would create disorder and shed blood, while we intone Your litanies and sanctify Your name?" And God said: "I know what you do not know."

30

وَعَلَّمَ اٰدَمَ الْاَسْمَاۗءَ كُلَّہَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَھُمْ عَلَي الْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃِ۝۰ۙ فَقَالَ اَنْۢبِــُٔـوْنِىْ بِاَسْمَاۗءِ ھٰۗؤُلَاۗءِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ۝۳۱
WaAAallama adama alasmaa kullaha thumma AAaradahum AAala almalaikati faqala anbioonee biasmai haolai in kuntum sadiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Then He gave Adam knowledge of the nature and reality of all things and everything, and set them before the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."

31

قَالُوْا سُبْحٰــنَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَاۗ اِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا۝۰ۭ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْحَكِيْمُ۝۳۲
Qaloo subhanaka la AAilma lana illa ma AAallamtana innaka anta alAAaleemu alhakeemu

English

Ahmed Ali

And they said: "Glory to You (O Lord), knowledge we have none except what You have given us, for You are all-knowing and all-wise."

32

قَالَ يٰۗاٰدَمُ اَنْۢبِئْـھُمْ بِاَسْمَاۗىِٕہِمْ۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّاۗ اَنْۢبَاَھُمْ بِاَسْمَاۗىِٕہِمْ۝۰ۙ قَالَ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَّكُمْ اِنِّىْۗ اَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ۝۰ۙ وَاَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُوْنَ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْتُمُوْنَ۝۳۳
Qala ya adamu anbihum biasmaihim falamma anbaahum biasmaihim qala alam aqul lakum innee aAAlamu ghayba alssamawati waalardi waaAAlamu ma tubdoona wama kuntum taktumoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then He said to Adam: "Convey to them their names." And when he had told them, God said: "Did I not tell you that I know the unknown of the heavens and the earth, and I know what you disclose and know what you hide?"

33

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوْۗا اِلَّاۗ اِبْلِيْسَ۝۰ۭ اَبٰى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ۝۰ۤۡوَكَانَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ۝۳۴
Waith qulna lilmalaikati osjudoo liadama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba waistakbara wakana mina alkafireena

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember, when We asked the angels to bow in homage to Adam, they all bowed but Iblis, who disdained and turned insolent, and so became a disbeliever.

34

وَقُلْنَا يٰۗاٰدَمُ اسْكُنْ اَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّۃَ وَكُلَا مِنْہَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِـئْتُمَـا۝۰۠ وَلَا تَـقْرَبَا ھٰذِہِ الشَّجَرَۃَ فَتَكُوْنَا مِنَ الظّٰلِــمِيْنَ۝۳۵
Waqulna ya adamu oskun anta wazawjuka aljannata wakula minha raghadan haythu shituma wala taqraba hathihi alshshajarata fatakoona mina alththalimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

And We said to Adam: "Both you and your spouse live in the Garden, eat freely to your fill wherever you like, but approach not this tree or you will become transgressors.
