٦ - ٱلْأَنْعَام

6 - Al-An'am

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.

44

فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا۝۰ۭ وَالْحَـمْدُ لِلہِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ۝۴۵
FaqutiAAa dabiru alqawmi allatheena thalamoo waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

English

Ahmed Ali

Thus were the wicked people rooted out of existence to the last. All praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.

45

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ اَخَذَ اللہُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَ اَبْصَارَكُمْ وَخَتَمَ عَلٰي قُلُوْبِكُمْ مَّنْ اِلٰہٌ غَيْرُ اللہِ يَاْتِيْكُمْ بِہٖ۝۰ۭ اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰيٰتِ ثُمَّ ہُمْ يَصْدِفُوْنَ۝۴۶
Qul araaytum in akhatha Allahu samAAakum waabsarakum wakhatama AAala quloobikum man ilahun ghayru Allahi yateekum bihi onthur kayfa nusarrifu alayati thumma hum yasdifoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "Imagine if God takes away your hearing and sight, and sets a seal on your hearts, what deity other than God will restore them to you?" See how We inflect Our signs: Even then they turn aside.

46

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتَكُمْ اِنْ اَتٰىكُمْ عَذَابُ اللہِ بَغْتَۃً اَوْ جَہْرَۃً ہَلْ يُہْلَكُ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۴۷
Qul araaytakum in atakum AAathabu Allahi baghtatan aw jahratan hal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alththalimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "Imagine if the punishment of God were to come unawares, or openly, who will perish but the evil-doers?"

47

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ اِلَّا مُبَشِّرِيْنَ وَمُنْذِرِيْنَ۝۰ۚ فَمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَاَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْہِمْ وَلَا ہُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ۝۴۸
Wama nursilu almursaleena illa mubashshireena wamunthireena faman amana waaslaha fala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona

English

Ahmed Ali

We do not send apostles but to give good tidings and to warn. Then those who believe or reform will have neither fear nor regret.

48

وَالَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَمَسُّہُمُ الْعَذَابُ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَفْسُقُوْنَ۝۴۹
Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina yamassuhumu alAAathabu bima kanoo yafsuqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

But those who deny Our messages will be seized by nemesis for being disobedient.

49

قُلْ لَّاۗ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِيْ خَزَاۗىِٕنُ اللہِ وَلَاۗ اَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلَاۗ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ اِنِّىْ مَلَكٌ۝۰ۚ اِنْ اَتَّبِـــعُ اِلَّا مَا يُوْحٰۗى اِلَيَّ۝۰ۭ قُلْ ہَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَصِيْرُ۝۰ۭ اَفَلَا تَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ۝۵۰ۧ
Qul la aqoolu lakum AAindee khazainu Allahi wala aAAlamu alghayba wala aqoolu lakum innee malakun in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayya qul hal yastawee alaAAma waalbaseeru afala tatafakkaroona

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell them: "I do not say that I possess the treasures of God, or have knowledge of the Unknown, or that I am an angel. I only follow what is sent down to me." And say: "How can a blind man and a man who can see, be alike? Will you not reflect?"
