اَفَلَمْ يَسِيْرُوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَۃُ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِہِمْ۝۰ۭ دَمَّرَ اللہُ عَلَيْہِمْ۝۰ۡوَلِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ اَمْثَالُہَا۝۱۰
Afalam yaseeroo fee alardi fayanthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihim dammara Allahu AAalayhim walilkafireena amthaluha

English

Ahmed Ali

Have they not journeyed in the land and seen the fate of those before them? Destroyed they were utterly by God; and a similar (fate) awaits the unbelievers.

10

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللہَ مَوْلَى الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَاَنَّ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ لَا مَوْلٰى لَہُمْ۝۱۱ۧ
Thalika bianna Allaha mawla allatheena amanoo waanna alkafireena la mawla lahum

English

Ahmed Ali

This is so for God is the friend of those who believe while the unbelievers have no friend.

11

اِنَّ اللہَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِہَا الْاَنْہٰرُ۝۰ۭ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يَتَمَتَّعُوْنَ وَيَاْكُلُوْنَ كَـمَا تَاْكُلُ الْاَنْعَامُ وَالنَّارُ مَثْوًى لَّہُمْ۝۱۲
Inna Allaha yudkhilu allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu waallatheena kafaroo yatamattaAAoona wayakuloona kama takulu alanAAamu waalnnaru mathwan lahum

English

Ahmed Ali

Verily God will admit those who believe and do the right into gardens with streams of water running by. But the unbelievers revel and carouse and subsist like beasts, and Hell will be their residence.

12

وَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَۃٍ ہِىَ اَشَدُّ قُوَّۃً مِّنْ قَرْيَتِكَ الَّتِيْۗ اَخْرَجَتْكَ۝۰ۚ اَہْلَكْنٰہُمْ فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَہُمْ۝۱۳
Wakaayyin min qaryatin hiya ashaddu quwwatan min qaryatika allatee akhrajatka ahlaknahum fala nasira lahum

English

Ahmed Ali

How many were the habitations, mightier than your city which has turned you out, which We destroyed; and they did not have a helper.

13

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ عَلٰي بَيِّنَۃٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّہٖ كَمَنْ زُيِّنَ لَہٗ سُوْۗءُ عَمَلِہٖ وَاتَّبَعُوْۗا اَہْوَاۗءَہُمْ۝۱۴
Afaman kana AAala bayyinatin min rabbihi kaman zuyyina lahu sooo AAamalihi waittabaAAoo ahwaahum

English

Ahmed Ali

Can one who stands on a clear proof from his Lord, be like one enamoured of his evil deeds and follows his inane desires?

14

مَثَلُ الْجَنَّۃِ الَّتِيْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ۝۰ۭ فِيْہَاۗ اَنْہٰرٌ مِّنْ مَّاۗءٍ غَيْرِ اٰسِنٍ۝۰ۚ وَاَنْہٰرٌ مِّنْ لَّبَنٍ لَّمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُہٗ۝۰ۚ وَاَنْہٰرٌ مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّۃٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِيْنَ۝۰ۥۚ وَاَنْہٰرٌ مِّنْ عَسَلٍ مُّصَفًّى۝۰ۭ وَلَہُمْ فِيْہَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ وَمَغْفِرَۃٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّہِمْ۝۰ۭ كَمَنْ ہُوَخَالِدٌ فِي النَّارِ وَسُقُوْا مَاۗءً حَمِـيْمًا فَقَطَّعَ اَمْعَاۗءَہُمْ۝۱۵
Mathalu aljannati allatee wuAAida almuttaqoona feeha anharun min main ghayri asinin waanharun min labanin lam yataghayyar taAAmuhu waanharun min khamrin laththatin lilshsharibeena waanharun min AAasalin musaffan walahum feeha min kulli alththamarati wamaghfiratun min rabbihim kaman huwa khalidun fee alnnari wasuqoo maan hameeman faqattaAAa amAAaahum

English

Ahmed Ali

The semblance of Paradise promised the pious and devout (is that of a garden) with streams of water that will not go rank, and rivers of milk whose taste will not undergo a change, and rivers of wine delectable to drinkers, and streams of purified honey, and fruits of every kind in them, and forgiveness of their Lord. Are these like those who will live for ever in the Fire and be given boiling water to drink which will cut their intestines to shreds?

15

وَمِنْہُمْ مَّنْ يَّسْتَمِــــعُ اِلَيْكَ۝۰ۚ حَتّٰۗي اِذَا خَرَجُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قَالُوْا لِلَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ مَاذَا قَالَ اٰنِفًا۝۰ۣ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ طَبَعَ اللہُ عَلٰي قُلُوْبِہِمْ وَ اتَّبَعُوْۗا اَہْوَاۗءَہُمْ۝۱۶
Waminhum man yastamiAAu ilayka hatta itha kharajoo min AAindika qaloo lillatheena ootoo alAAilma matha qala anifan olaika allatheena tabaAAa Allahu AAala quloobihim waittabaAAoo ahwaahum

English

Ahmed Ali

There are some who listen to you; but as soon as they go from you they say to those who were given knowledge: "What is this he is saying now?" They are those whose hearts have been sealed by God, and they follow their own lusts.

16

وَالَّذِيْنَ اہْتَدَوْا زَادَہُمْ ہُدًى وَّاٰتٰىہُمْ تَقْوٰىہُمْ۝۱۷
Waallatheena ihtadaw zadahum hudan waatahum taqwahum

English

Ahmed Ali

But those who are rightly guided will be given greater guidance by Him, and they will have their intrinsic piety.

17

فَہَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَۃَ اَنْ تَاْتِيَہُمْ بَغْتَۃً۝۰ۚ فَقَدْ جَاۗءَ اَشْرَاطُہَا۝۰ۚ فَاَنّٰى لَہُمْ اِذَا جَاۗءَتْہُمْ ذِكْرٰىہُمْ۝۱۸
Fahal yanthuroona illa alssaAAata an tatiyahum baghtatan faqad jaa ashratuha faanna lahum itha jaathum thikrahum

English

Ahmed Ali

Do they wait for any thing but the Hour (of change), that it may come upon them suddenly? Its signs have already appeared. How then will they be warned when it has come upon them?

18

فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّہٗ لَاۗ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْۢبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ يَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَمَثْوٰىكُمْ۝۱۹ۧ
FaiAAlam annahu la ilaha illa Allahu waistaghfir lithanbika walilmumineena waalmuminati waAllahu yaAAlamu mutaqallabakum wamathwakum

English

Ahmed Ali

Know then, therefore, there is no god but He, and ask forgiveness for your sins and those of believing men and women. God knows your wanderings and your destination.
