الَّذِيْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا دِيْنَہُمْ لَہْوًا وَّلَعِبًا وَّغَرَّتْہُمُ الْحَيٰوۃُ الدُّنْيَا۝۰ۚ فَالْيَوْمَ نَنْسٰـىہُمْ كَـمَا نَسُوْا لِقَاۗءَ يَوْمِہِمْ ھٰذَا۝۰ۙ وَمَا كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُوْنَ۝۵۱
Allatheena ittakhathoo deenahum lahwan walaAAiban wagharrathumu alhayatu alddunya faalyawma nansahum kama nasoo liqaa yawmihim hatha wama kanoo biayatina yajhadoona

English

Ahmed Ali

"Who made a sport and frolic of their faith and were lured by the life of the world." As they had forgotten the meeting of this Day so shall We neglect them today for having rejected Our signs.

51

وَلَقَدْ جِئْنٰہُمْ بِكِتٰبٍ فَصَّلْنٰہُ عَلٰي عِلْمٍ ہُدًى وَّرَحْمَۃً لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ۝۵۲

English

Ahmed Ali

Are they waiting for the exposition of what it speaks of? The day that (Reality) is unravelled, the people who had lost sight of it will say: "The apostles of our Lord had indeed brought the truth. Do we have any one to intercede for us? If only we could go back to the world, we would act otherwise." Indeed they have caused themselves harm, and the lies they concocted did not help.

53

اِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللہُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ فِيْ سِـتَّۃِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَي الْعَرْشِ۝۰ۣ يُغْشِي الَّيْلَ النَّہَارَ يَطْلُبُہٗ حَثِيْثًا۝۰ۙ وَّالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُوْمَ مُسَخَّرٰتٍؚ بِاَمْرِہٖ۝۰ۭ اَلَا لَہُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْاَمْرُ۝۰ۭ تَبٰرَكَ اللہُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ۝۵۴
Inna rabbakumu Allahu allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi yughshee allayla alnnahara yatlubuhu hatheethan waalshshamsa waalqamara waalnnujooma musakhkharatin biamrihi ala lahu alkhalqu waalamru tabaraka Allahu rabbu alAAalameena

English

Ahmed Ali

Surely your Lord is God who created the heavens and the earth in six spans of time, then assumed all power. He covers up the day with night which comes chasing it fast; and the sun and moon and the stars are subject to His command. It is His to create and enjoin. Blessed be God, the Lord of all the worlds.

54

اُدْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخُفْيَۃً۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِيْنَ۝۵۵ۚ
OdAAoo rabbakum tadarruAAan wakhufyatan innahu la yuhibbu almuAAtadeena

Ahmed Ali

Pray to your Lord in humility and unseen. He does not love the iniquitous.

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِہَا وَادْعُوْہُ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللہِ قَرِيْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ۝۵۶
Wala tufsidoo fee alardi baAAda islahiha waodAAoohu khawfan watamaAAan inna rahmata Allahi qareebun mina almuhsineena

English

Ahmed Ali

And do not corrupt the land after it has been reformed; and pray to Him in awe and expectation. The blessing of God is at hand for those who do good.
