7 - Al-A'raf

يٰبَنِيْۗ اٰدَمَ خُذُوْا زِيْنَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَّكُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوْا۝۰ۚ اِنَّہٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ۝۳۱ۧ
Ya banee adama khuthoo zeenatakum AAinda kulli masjidin wakuloo waishraboo wala tusrifoo innahu la yuhibbu almusrifeena

English

Ahmed Ali

O sons of Adam, attire yourselves at every time of worship; eat and drink, but do not be wasteful, for God does not like the prodigals.

31

قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِيْنَۃَ اللہِ الَّتِيْۗ اَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِہٖ وَالطَّيِّبٰتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ۝۰ۭ قُلْ ہِىَ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فِي الْحَيٰوۃِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَۃً يَّوْمَ الْقِيٰمَۃِ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰيٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَّعْلَمُوْنَ۝۳۲
Qul man harrama zeenata Allahi allatee akhraja liAAibadihi waalttayyibati mina alrrizqi qul hiya lillatheena amanoo fee alhayati alddunya khalisatan yawma alqiyamati kathalika nufassilu alayati liqawmin yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Ask them: "Who forbids you attire that God has given to His creatures, and the good things that He has provided?" Tell them: "They are (meant) for believers in the world, and will be theirs on the Day of Judgement." That is how We explain Our signs to those who know.

32

قُلْ اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَہَرَ مِنْہَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْاِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَاَنْ تُشْرِكُوْا بِاللہِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِہٖ سُلْطٰنًا وَّاَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا عَلَي اللہِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۳۳
Qul innama harrama rabbiya alfawahisha ma thahara minha wama batana waalithma waalbaghya bighayri alhaqqi waan tushrikoo biAllahi ma lam yunazzil bihi sultanan waan taqooloo AAala Allahi ma la taAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell them: "My Lord has forbidden repugnant acts, whether open or disguised, sin and unjust oppression, associating others with God, of which He has sent down no authority, and saying things of God of which you have no knowledge."

33

وَلِكُلِّ اُمَّۃٍ اَجَلٌ۝۰ۚ فَاِذَا جَاۗءَ اَجَلُہُمْ لَا يَسْـتَاْخِرُوْنَ سَاعَۃً وَّلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُوْنَ۝۳۴
Walikulli ommatin ajalun faitha jaa ajaluhum la yastakhiroona saAAatan wala yastaqdimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

A term is fixed for every people; and when their appointed time is come there will neither be a moment's delay nor haste.

34

يٰبَنِيْۗ اٰدَمَ اِمَّا يَاْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ يَـقُصُّوْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِيْ۝۰ۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقٰى وَاَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْہِمْ وَلَا ہُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ۝۳۵
Ya banee adama imma yatiyannakum rusulun minkum yaqussoona AAalaykum ayatee famani ittaqa waaslaha fala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona

English

Ahmed Ali

O sons of Adam, when apostles come to you from among you, who convey My messages, then those who take heed and amend will have neither fear nor regret.

35

وَالَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَاسْـتَكْبَرُوْا عَنْہَاۗ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ۝۰ۚ ہُمْ فِيْہَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۝۳۶
Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina waistakbaroo AAanha olaika ashabu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona

English

Ahmed Ali

But those who deny Our signs and disdain them, shall belong to Hell, where they will abide for ever.

36

فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰي عَلَي اللہِ كَذِبًا اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰيٰتِہٖ۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ يَنَالُہُمْ نَصِيْبُہُمْ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ۝۰ۭ حَتّٰۗي اِذَا جَاۗءَتْہُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَہُمْ۝۰ۙ قَالُوْۗا اَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اؘ۝۰ۭ قَالُوْا ضَلُّوْا عَنَّا وَشَہِدُوْا عَلٰۗي اَنْفُسِہِمْ اَنَّہُمْ كَانُوْا كٰفِرِيْنَ۝۳۷
Faman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba biayatihi olaika yanaluhum naseebuhum mina alkitabi hatta itha jaathum rusuluna yatawaffawnahum qaloo ayna ma kuntum tadAAoona min dooni Allahi qaloo dalloo AAanna washahidoo AAala anfusihim annahum kanoo kafireena

English

Ahmed Ali

Who could be more wicked than he who imputes lies to God or denies His revelations? Such as these will receive what is declared in the Book, and when Our angels come to draw out their souls and ask: "Where are they you worshipped other than God?" They will answer: "They have left us and fled;" and bear witness against themselves for being infidels.

37

قَالَ ادْخُلُوْا فِيْۗ اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ فِي النَّارِ۝۰ۭ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ اُمَّۃٌ لَّعَنَتْ اُخْتَہَا۝۰ۭ حَتّٰۗي اِذَا ادَّارَكُوْا فِيْہَا جَمِيْعًا۝۰ۙ قَالَتْ اُخْرٰىہُمْ لِاُوْلٰىہُمْ رَبَّنَا ہٰۗؤُلَاۗءِ اَضَلُّوْنَا فَاٰتِہِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ النَّارِ۝۰ۥۭ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَّلٰكِنْ لَّا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۳۸
Qala odkhuloo fee omamin qad khalat min qablikum mina aljinni waalinsi fee alnnari kullama dakhalat ommatun laAAanat okhtaha hatta itha iddarakoo feeha jameeAAan qalat okhrahum lioolahum rabbana haolai adalloona faatihim AAathaban diAAfan mina alnnari qala likullin diAAfun walakin la taAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

"Enter then the Fire," will God say, "with the past generations of jinns and men." On entering each batch will condemn the other; and when all of them shall have entered one after the other, the last to come will say of those who had come before them: "O our Lord, they are the ones who led us astray; so give them double chastisement in the Fire." He will answer: "For all it will be double; but this you do not know."

38

وَقَالَتْ اُوْلٰىہُمْ لِاُخْرٰىہُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۳۹ۧ
Waqalat oolahum liokhrahum fama kana lakum AAalayna min fadlin fathooqoo alAAathaba bima kuntum taksiboona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then the former will say to the latter: "You have no privilege over us. So taste the punishment for what you had done."

39

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَاسْـتَكْبَرُوْا عَنْہَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَہُمْ اَبْوَابُ السَّمَاۗءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَـنَّۃَ حَتّٰي يَـلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِيْ سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ۝۰ۭ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ۝۴۰
Inna allatheena kaththaboo biayatina waistakbaroo AAanha la tufattahu lahum abwabu alssamai wala yadkhuloona aljannata hatta yalija aljamalu fee sammi alkhiyati wakathalika najzee almujrimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Verily for those who deny Our signs and turn away in haughtiness from them, the gates of heaven shall not be opened, nor will they enter Paradise, not till the camel passes through the needle's eye. That is how We requite the transgressors:
