6 - Al-An'am

قُلْ تَعَالَوْا اَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ اَلَّا تُشْرِكُوْا بِہٖ شَـيْــــًٔـا وَّبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسَانًا۝۰ۚ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوْۗا اَوْلَادَكُمْ مِّنْ اِمْلَاقٍ۝۰ۭ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَاِيَّاہُمْ۝۰ۚ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَہَرَ مِنْہَا وَمَا بَطَنَ۝۰ۚ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِيْ حَرَّمَ اللہُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِہٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۱۵۱
Qul taAAalaw atlu ma harrama rabbukum AAalaykum alla tushrikoo bihi shayan wabialwalidayni ihsanan wala taqtuloo awladakum min imlaqin nahnu narzuqukum waiyyahum wala taqraboo alfawahisha ma thahara minha wama batana wala taqtuloo alnnafsa allatee harrama Allahu illa bialhaqqi thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum taAAqiloona

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell them: "Come, I will read out what your Lord has made binding on you: That you make none the equal of God, and be good to your parents, and do not abandon your children out of poverty, for We give you food and We shall provide for them; and avoid what is shameful, whether open or hidden, and do not take a life which God has forbidden, unless for some just cause. These things has God enjoined on you. Haply you may understand.

151

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْا مَالَ الْيَتِيْمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِيْ ہِىَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰي يَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّہٗ۝۰ۚ وَاَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ۝۰ۚ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَہَا۝۰ۚ وَاِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوْا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰي۝۰ۚ وَبِعَہْدِ اللہِ اَوْفُوْا۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِہٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ۝۱۵۲ۙ
Wala taqraboo mala alyateemi illa biallatee hiya ahsanu hatta yablugha ashuddahu waawfoo alkayla waalmeezana bialqisti la nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waitha qultum faiAAdiloo walaw kana tha qurba wabiAAahdi Allahi awfoo thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum tathakkaroona

English

Ahmed Ali

Do not spend the belongings of the orphans but for their betterment, until they come of age; and give in full measure, and weigh justly on the balance. God does not burden a soul beyond capacity. When you say a thing, let it be just, even though the matter relate to a relative of yours, and fulfil a promise made to God. These are the things that He has enjoined that you may take heed.

152

وَاَنَّ ھٰذَا صِرَاطِيْ مُسْتَقِـيْمًا فَاتَّبِعُوْہُ۝۰ۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّـبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيْلِہٖ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِہٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۱۵۳
Waanna hatha siratee mustaqeeman faittabiAAoohu wala tattabiAAoo alssubula fatafarraqa bikum AAan sabeelihi thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum tattaqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

(He has further commanded:) 'This is My straight path, so walk along it, and do not follow other ways, lest you should turn away from the right one.' All this has He commanded. You may perhaps take heed for yourselves."

153

ثُمَّ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ تَمَامًا عَلَي الَّذِيْۗ اَحْسَنَ وَتَفْصِيْلًا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّہُدًى وَّرَحْمَۃً لَّعَلَّہُمْ بِلِقَاۗءِ رَبِّہِمْ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ۝۱۵۴ۧ
Thumma atayna moosa alkitaba tamaman AAala allathee ahsana watafseelan likulli shayin wahudan warahmatan laAAallahum biliqai rabbihim yuminoona

English

Ahmed Ali

To that end We gave the Book to Moses, a perfect law, distinctly explaining all things, and a guidance and grace, so that they should believe in the meeting with their Lord.

154

وَھٰذَا كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰہُ مُبٰرَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوْہُ وَاتَّقُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ۝۱۵۵ۙ
Wahatha kitabun anzalnahu mubarakun faittabiAAoohu waittaqoo laAAallakum turhamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Blessed is this Book We have revealed; so follow it and preserve yourself from evil that you may qualify for grace,

155

اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْۗا اِنَّمَاۗ اُنْزِلَ الْكِتٰبُ عَلٰي طَاۗىِٕفَتَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا۝۰۠ وَاِنْ كُنَّا عَنْ دِرَاسَتِہِمْ لَغٰفِلِيْنَ۝۱۵۶ۙ
An taqooloo innama onzila alkitabu AAala taifatayni min qablina wain kunna AAan dirasatihim laghafileena

English

Ahmed Ali

Lest you say: "The Book that was sent before was meant only for two groups; we were not aware of their teachings;"

156

اَوْ تَقُوْلُوْا لَوْ اَنَّاۗ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْكِتٰبُ لَكُنَّاۗ اَہْدٰي مِنْہُمْ۝۰ۚ فَقَدْ جَاۗءَكُمْ بَيِّنَۃٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَہُدًى وَّرَحْمَۃٌ۝۰ۚ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللہِ وَصَدَفَ عَنْہَا۝۰ۭ سَنَجْزِي الَّذِيْنَ يَصْدِفُوْنَ عَنْ اٰيٰتِنَا سُوْۗءَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَصْدِفُوْنَ۝۱۵۷
Aw taqooloo law anna onzila AAalayna alkitabu lakunna ahda minhum faqad jaakum bayyinatun min rabbikum wahudan warahmatun faman athlamu mimman kaththaba biayati Allahi wasadafa AAanha sanajzee allatheena yasdifoona AAan ayatina sooa alAAathabi bima kanoo yasdifoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Or that: "Had the Book been sent down to us we would surely have been guided better than they." So you have now received from your Lord a clear proof and a guidance and grace. Then who is more wicked than he who denies the signs of God and turns away from them? We shall punish those severely who turn away: A requital indeed for having turned aside.

157

ہَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّاۗ اَنْ تَاْتِـيَہُمُ الْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃُ اَوْ يَاْتِيَ رَبُّكَ اَوْ يَاْتِيَ بَعْضُ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّكَ۝۰ۭ يَوْمَ يَاْتِيْ بَعْضُ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا اِيْمَانُہَا لَمْ تَكُنْ اٰمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ اَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِيْۗ اِيْمَانِہَا خَيْرًا۝۰ۭ قُلِ انْتَظِرُوْۗا اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ۝۱۵۸
Hal yanthuroona illa an tatiyahumu almalaikatu aw yatiya rabbuka aw yatiya baAAdu ayati rabbika yawma yatee baAAdu ayati rabbika la yanfaAAu nafsan eemanuha lam takun amanat min qablu aw kasabat fee eemaniha khayran quli intathiroo inna muntathiroona

English

Ahmed Ali

What are the people waiting for? For the angels to come down, or your Lord to appear, or some signs from your Lord? The day when certain signs appear from your Lord, the embracing of faith shall not be of any avail to one who did not come to belief at first, or who did not perform good deeds by virtue of his faith. Tell them: "Wait on, we are waiting too (for the good and evil to become distinct)."

158

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ فَرَّقُوْا دِيْنَہُمْ وَكَانُوْا شِيَعًا لَّسْتَ مِنْہُمْ فِيْ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ اِنَّمَاۗ اَمْرُہُمْ اِلَى اللہِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُہُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْعَلُوْنَ۝۱۵۹
Inna allatheena farraqoo deenahum wakanoo shiyaAAan lasta minhum fee shayin innama amruhum ila Allahi thumma yunabbiohum bima kanoo yafAAaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

As for those who have created schisms in their order, and formed different sects, you have no concern with them. Their affair is with God. He will tell them the truth of what they were doing.

159

مَنْ جَاۗءَ بِالْحَسَـنَۃِ فَلَہٗ عَشْرُ اَمْثَالِہَا۝۰ۚ وَمَنْ جَاۗءَ بِالسَّيِّئَۃِ فَلَا يُجْزٰۗى اِلَّا مِثْلَہَا وَہُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ۝۱۶۰
Man jaa bialhasanati falahu AAashru amthaliha waman jaa bialssayyiati fala yujza illa mithlaha wahum la yuthlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

He who does a good deed will receive ten times its worth; and he who does evil will be requited to an equal degree; and no one will be wronged.
