وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللہِ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَتُہٗ لَہَمَّتْ طَّاۗىِٕفَۃٌ مِّنْھُمْ اَنْ يُّضِلُّوْكَ۝۰ۭ وَمَا يُضِلُّوْنَ اِلَّاۗ اَنْفُسَھُمْ وَمَا يَضُرُّوْنَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ وَاَنْزَلَ اللہُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَۃَ وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ۝۰ۭ وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللہِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيْمًا۝۱۱۳
Walawla fadlu Allahi AAalayka warahmatuhu lahammat taifatun minhum an yudillooka wama yudilloona illa anfusahum wama yadurroonaka min shayin waanzala Allahu AAalayka alkitaba waalhikmata waAAallamaka ma lam takun taAAlamu wakana fadlu Allahi AAalayka AAatheeman

English

Ahmed Ali

But for the mercy of God and His grace you would certainly have been misled by a section of them; yet they could not mislead you but themselves alone, and could do you no harm, for God has revealed to you the Book and the Law, and taught you what you did not know. Great have been the blessings of God on you.

113

لَا خَيْرَ فِيْ كَثِيْرٍ مِّنْ نَّجْوٰىھُمْ اِلَّا مَنْ اَمَرَ بِصَدَقَۃٍ اَوْ مَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ اِصْلَاحٍؚ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ ابْتِغَاۗءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللہِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيْہِ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا۝۱۱۴
La khayra fee katheerin min najwahum illa man amara bisadaqatin aw maAAroofin aw islahin bayna alnnasi waman yafAAal thalika ibtighaa mardati Allahi fasawfa nuteehi ajran AAatheeman

English

Ahmed Ali

Their confidential counsels are seldom for the good, save of those who talk of charity or goodness or peace among men. Whosoever does so for the pleasure of God, We shall give him an ample reward.

114

وَمَنْ يُّشَاقِقِ الرَّسُوْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَہُ الْہُدٰى وَيَتَّبِـعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيْلِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ نُوَلِّہٖ مَا تَوَلّٰى وَنُصْلِہٖ جَہَنَّمَ۝۰ۭ وَسَاۗءَتْ مَصِيْرًا۝۱۱۵ۧ
Waman yushaqiqi alrrasoola min baAAdi ma tabayyana lahu alhuda wayattabiAA ghayra sabeeli almumineena nuwallihi ma tawalla wanuslihi jahannama wasaat maseeran

English

Ahmed Ali

And he who opposes the Prophet even after the way has become clear to him, and follows a path other than the way of believers, We shall lead him to what he has chosen for himself, and shall take him to Hell: How evil a journey's end.

115

اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِہٖ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يُّشْرِكْ بِاللہِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًۢا بَعِيْدًا۝۱۱۶
Inna Allaha la yaghfiru an yushraka bihi wayaghfiru ma doona thalika liman yashao waman yushrik biAllahi faqad dalla dalalan baAAeedan

English

Ahmed Ali

God does not forgive that compeers be ascribed to Him, and absolves all else whatsoever He will. And he who associates compeers with God has indeed wandered far astray.

116

اِنْ يَّدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِہٖۗ اِلَّاۗ اِنٰثًا۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ يَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَّا شَيْطٰنًا مَّرِيْدًا۝۱۱۷ۙ
In yadAAoona min doonihi illa inathan wain yadAAoona illa shaytanan mareedan

English

Ahmed Ali

In His place they invoke only females (the pagan deities); and instead of Him they invoke Satan the obstinate rebel

117

لَّعَنَہُ اؙ۝۰ۘ وَقَالَ لَاَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِيْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًا۝۱۱۸ۙ
LaAAanahu Allahu waqala laattakhithanna min AAibadika naseeban mafroodan

English

Ahmed Ali

Who was condemned by God and who said: "I shall take from Thy creatures my determinate share,

118

وَّلَاُضِلَّنَّھُمْ وَلَاُمَنِّيَنَّھُمْ وَلَاٰمُرَنَّھُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ اٰذَانَ الْاَنْعَامِ وَلَاٰمُرَنَّھُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّتَّخِذِ الشَّيْطٰنَ وَلِيًّا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللہِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُّبِيْنًا۝۱۱۹ۭ
Walaodillannahum walaomanniyannahum walaamurannahum falayubattikunna athana alanAAami walaamurannahum falayughayyirunna khalqa Allahi waman yattakhithi alshshaytana waliyyan min dooni Allahi faqad khasira khusranan mubeenan

English

Ahmed Ali

And mislead them and tempt them, and order them to slit the ears of animals; and order them to alter God's creation." He who holds Satan as friend in place of God will assuredly be damned to perdition.

119

يَعِدُھُمْ وَيُمَنِّيْہِمْ۝۰ۭ وَمَا يَعِدُھُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا۝۱۲۰
YaAAiduhum wayumanneehim wama yaAAiduhumu alshshaytanu illa ghurooran

English

Ahmed Ali

Whatever the promises he makes, whatever the desires he enkindles, and whatever the hopes Satan rouses in them, are no more than delusion.

120

اُولٰۗىِٕكَ مَاْوٰىھُمْ جَہَنَّمُ۝۰ۡوَلَا يَجِدُوْنَ عَنْھَا مَحِيْصًا۝۱۲۱
Olaika mawahum jahannamu wala yajidoona AAanha maheesan

English

Ahmed Ali

For such the abode is only Hell from which they will find no escape.

121

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَـنُدْخِلُھُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِھَا الْاَنْھٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْھَاۗ اَبَدًا۝۰ۭ وَعْدَ اللہِ حَقًّا۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ اَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللہِ قِيْلًا۝۱۲۲
Waallatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati sanudkhiluhum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha abadan waAAda Allahi haqqan waman asdaqu mina Allahi qeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

But those who believe and do good deeds We shall admit into gardens with streams of running water where they will abide for ever. True is the promise of God; and whose word could be truer than God's?
