6 - Al-An'am

وَاِنْ كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكَ اِعْرَاضُہُمْ فَاِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ اَنْ تَبْتَغِيَ نَفَقًا فِي الْاَرْضِ اَوْ سُلَّمًا فِي السَّمَاۗءِ فَتَاْتِيَہُمْ بِاٰيَۃٍ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ لَجَمَعَہُمْ عَلَي الْہُدٰي فَلَا تَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْجٰہِلِيْنَ۝۳۵
Wain kana kabura AAalayka iAAraduhum faini istataAAta an tabtaghiya nafaqan fee alardi aw sullaman fee alssamai fatatiyahum biayatin walaw shaa Allahu lajamaAAahum AAala alhuda fala takoonanna mina aljahileena

English

Ahmed Ali

If their aversion still weighs upon you, seek out a tunnel (going deep) into the earth, or a ladder reaching out to the skies, and bring them a sign: (Even then they will not believe). If God had willed He would have brought them all to the right path. So be not like the pagans.

35

اِنَّمَا يَسْتَجِيْبُ الَّذِيْنَ يَسْمَعُوْنَ۝۰ۭؔ وَالْمَوْتٰى يَبْعَثُہُمُ اللہُ ثُمَّ اِلَيْہِ يُرْجَعُوْنَ۝۳۶۬
Innama yastajeebu allatheena yasmaAAoona waalmawta yabAAathuhumu Allahu thumma ilayhi yurjaAAoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Only they will respond who can hear. As for the dead, raised they will be by God, then to Him they will be returned.

36

وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْہِ اٰيَۃٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّہٖ۝۰ۭ قُلْ اِنَّ اللہَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰۗي اَنْ يُّنَزِّلَ اٰيَۃً وَّلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَہُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۳۷
Waqaloo lawla nuzzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi qul inna Allaha qadirun AAala an yunazzila ayatan walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

They say: "How is it no miracle was sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "God certainly has power to send down a miracle; but most men cannot understand."

37

وَمَا مِنْ دَاۗبَّۃٍ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا طٰۗىِٕرٍ يَّطِيْرُ بِجَنَاحَيْہِ اِلَّاۗ اُمَمٌ اَمْثَالُكُمْ۝۰ۭ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتٰبِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّہِمْ يُحْشَرُوْنَ۝۳۸
Wama min dabbatin fee alardi wala tairin yateeru bijanahayhi illa omamun amthalukum ma farratna fee alkitabi min shayin thumma ila rabbihim yuhsharoona

English

Ahmed Ali

There is not a thing that moves on the earth, no bird that flies on its wings, but has a community of its own like yours. There is nothing that We have left out from recording. Then they will all be gathered before their Lord.

38

وَالَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا صُمٌّ وَّبُكْمٌ فِي الظُّلُمٰتِ۝۰ۭ مَنْ يَّشَاِ اللہُ يُضْلِلْہُ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّشَاْ يَجْعَلْہُ عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ۝۳۹
Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina summun wabukmun fee alththulumati man yashai Allahu yudlilhu waman yasha yajAAalhu AAala siratin mustaqeemin

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who deny Our revelations are deaf, dumb, and lost in the dark. God sends whosoever He wills astray, and leads whom He will to the straight path.

39

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتَكُمْ اِنْ اَتٰىكُمْ عَذَابُ اللہِ اَوْ اَتَتْكُمُ السَّاعَۃُ اَغَيْرَ اللہِ تَدْعُوْنَ۝۰ۚ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ۝۴۰
Qul araaytakum in atakum AAathabu Allahi aw atatkumu alssaAAatu aghayra Allahi tadAAoona in kuntum sadiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "Have you thought if the punishment of God or the Hour (of Doom) came upon you, would you call to any other than God? Answer, if you are men of truth."

40

بَلْ اِيَّاہُ تَدْعُوْنَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُوْنَ اِلَيْہِ اِنْ شَاۗءَ وَتَنْسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُوْنَ۝۴۱ۧ
Bal iyyahu tadAAoona fayakshifu ma tadAAoona ilayhi in shaa watansawna ma tushrikoona

English

Ahmed Ali

No: You will call to Him alone; and He will, if He please, remove (the distress) for which you had called Him; and forget those you associate as compeers (with Him)

41

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَاۗ اِلٰۗى اُمَمٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَخَذْنٰہُمْ بِالْبَاْسَاۗءِ وَالضَّرَّاۗءِ لَعَلَّہُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُوْنَ۝۴۲
Walaqad arsalna ila omamin min qablika faakhathnahum bialbasai waalddarrai laAAallahum yatadarraAAoona

English

Ahmed Ali

We have indeed sent (apostles) to many a people before you, and inflicted upon them hardships and afflictions so that they might submit.

42

فَلَوْلَاۗ اِذْ جَاۗءَہُمْ بَاْسُـنَا تَضَرَّعُوْا وَلٰكِنْ قَسَتْ قُلُوْبُہُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَہُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۴۳
Falawla ith jaahum basuna tadarraAAoo walakin qasat quloobuhum wazayyana lahumu alshshaytanu ma kanoo yaAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then why did they not submit when Our punishment came upon them? But their hearts were hardened, and Satan made things they were doing look attractive to them.

43

فَلَمَّا نَسُوْا مَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِہٖ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْہِمْ اَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ حَتّٰۗي اِذَا فَرِحُوْا بِمَاۗ اُوْتُوْۗا اَخَذْنٰہُمْ بَغْتَۃً فَاِذَا ہُمْ مُّبْلِسُوْنَ۝۴۴
Falamma nasoo ma thukkiroo bihi fatahna AAalayhim abwaba kulli shayin hatta itha farihoo bima ootoo akhathnahum baghtatan faitha hum mublisoona

English

Ahmed Ali

When they had become oblivious of what they were warned, We opened wide the gates of everything to them; yet as they rejoiced at what they were given, We caught them unawares, and they were filled with despair.
