٤٠ - غَافِر

40 - Ghafir

وَيٰقَوْمِ مَا لِيْۗ اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى النَّجٰوۃِ وَتَدْعُوْنَنِيْۗ اِلَى النَّارِ۝۴۱ۭ
Waya qawmi ma lee adAAookum ila alnnajati watadAAoonanee ila alnnari

English

Ahmed Ali

O my people, what is wrong with me that I am calling you to preservation, while you invite me to the Fire!

41

تَدْعُوْنَنِيْ لِاَكْفُرَ بِاللہِ وَاُشْرِكَ بِہٖ مَا لَيْسَ لِيْ بِہٖ عِلْمٌ۝۰ۡ وَّاَنَا اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى الْعَزِيْزِ الْغَفَّارِ۝۴۲
TadAAoonanee liakfura biAllahi waoshrika bihi ma laysa lee bihi AAilmun waana adAAookum ila alAAazeezi alghaffari

English

Ahmed Ali

You are asking me to disbelieve in God, and to associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, yet I invite you to the all-mighty, all-forgiving.

42

لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّمَا تَدْعُوْنَنِيْۗ اِلَيْہِ لَيْسَ لَہٗ دَعْوَۃٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَا فِي الْاٰخِرَۃِ وَاَنَّ مَرَدَّنَاۗ اِلَى اللہِ وَاَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ ہُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ۝۴۳
La jarama annama tadAAoonanee ilayhi laysa lahu daAAwatun fee alddunya wala fee alakhirati waanna maraddana ila Allahi waanna almusrifeena hum ashabu alnnari

English

Ahmed Ali

What you are calling me to is surely not worth the calling in this world or in the next, because our returning is to God; and because the transgressors will be inmates of Hell.

43

فَسَتَذْكُرُوْنَ مَاۗ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَاُفَوِّضُ اَمْرِيْۗ اِلَى اؘ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ بَصِيْرٌۢ بِالْعِبَادِ۝۴۴
Fasatathkuroona ma aqoolu lakum waofawwidu amree ila Allahi inna Allaha baseerun bialAAibadi

English

Ahmed Ali

You will remember what I say in time to come; I submit my case to the judgement of God. Surely God keeps an eye on His creatures."

44

فَوَقٰىہُ اللہُ سَيِّاٰتِ مَا مَكَرُوْا وَحَاقَ بِاٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوْۗءُ الْعَذَابِ۝۴۵ۚ
Fawaqahu Allahu sayyiati ma makaroo wahaqa biali firAAawna sooo alAAathabi

English

Ahmed Ali

So God preserved him from the evil they were planning; and a dreadful doom encompassed the people of Pharaoh:

45

اَلنَّارُ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَيْہَا غُدُوًّا وَّعَشِـيًّا۝۰ۚ وَيَوْمَ تَـقُوْمُ السَّاعَۃُ۝۰ۣ اَدْخِلُوْۗا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ اَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ۝۴۶
Alnnaru yuAAradoona AAalayha ghuduwwan waAAashiyyan wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu adkhiloo ala firAAawna ashadda alAAathabi

English

Ahmed Ali

Fire, to which they are exposed morning and evening. The day the Hour is proclaimed (it will be said:) "Admit the people of Pharaoh to the severest punishment,"

46

وَاِذْ يَتَـحَاۗجُّوْنَ فِي النَّارِ فَيَقُوْلُ الضُّعَفٰۗؤُا لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۗا اِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَہَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّغْنُوْنَ عَنَّا نَصِيْبًا مِّنَ النَّارِ۝۴۷
Waith yatahajjoona fee alnnari fayaqoolu aldduAAafao lillatheena istakbaroo inna kunna lakum tabaAAan fahal antum mughnoona AAanna naseeban mina alnnari

English

Ahmed Ali

As they will noisily argue in the Fire, the weaker ones will say to the arrogant: "We were your followers, so will you take over some of our share of the fire?"

47

قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۗا اِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيْہَاۗ۝۰ۙ اِنَّ اللہَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ۝۴۸
Qala allatheena istakbaroo inna kullun feeha inna Allaha qad hakama bayna alAAibadi

English

Ahmed Ali

The arrogant will answer: "All of us are in it. Surely God has judged between His creatures."

48

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ فِي النَّارِ لِخَزَنَۃِ جَہَنَّمَ ادْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ۝۴۹
Waqala allatheena fee alnnari likhazanati jahannama odAAoo rabbakum yukhaffif AAanna yawman mina alAAathabi

English

Ahmed Ali

Those in the Fire will say to the warders of Hell: "Ask your Lord to reduce the punishment by a day for us."

49

قَالُوْۗا اَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَاْتِيْكُمْ رُسُلُكُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ۝۰ۭ قَالُوْا بَلٰى۝۰ۭ قَالُوْا فَادْعُوْا۝۰ۚ وَمَا دُعٰۗـؤُا الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ۝۵۰ۧ
Qaloo awalam taku tateekum rusulukum bialbayyinati qaloo bala qaloo faodAAoo wama duAAao alkafireena illa fee dalalin

English

Ahmed Ali

They will say: "Did not your apostles come to you with clear proofs?" They will answer: "Indeed, they did." "Then pray," will (the warders) say. But the praying of unbelievers will be all in vain.
