١٣ - ٱلرَّعْد

13 - Ar-Ra'd

اَللہُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ اُنْثٰى وَمَا تَغِيْضُ الْاَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ۝۰ۭ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَہٗ بِمِقْدَارٍ۝۸
Allahu yaAAlamu ma tahmilu kullu ontha wama tagheedu alarhamu wama tazdadu wakullu shayin AAindahu bimiqdarin

English

Ahmed Ali

God is cognisant of what every female carries in her womb, or what the wombs want or exceed (of their disburdening time). With Him all things are in determined measure.

8

عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّہَادَۃِ الْكَبِيْرُ الْمُتَعَالِ۝۹
AAalimu alghaybi waalshshahadati alkabeeru almutaAAali

English

Ahmed Ali

He is the knower of the known and the unknown, the mighty and most high.

9

سَوَاۗءٌ مِّنْكُمْ مَّنْ اَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَنْ جَہَرَ بِہٖ وَمَنْ ہُوَمُسْتَخْفٍؚبِالَّيْلِ وَسَارِبٌۢ بِالنَّہَارِ۝۱۰
Sawaon minkum man asarra alqawla waman jahara bihi waman huwa mustakhfin biallayli wasaribun bialnnahari

English

Ahmed Ali

He who keeps his secret among you is the same to Him as he who speaks out publicly, and he who hides himself in the night and walks freely in the day.

10

لَہٗ مُعَقِّبٰتٌ مِّنْۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْہِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِہٖ يَحْفَظُوْنَہٗ مِنْ اَمْرِ اؘ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتّٰى يُغَيِّرُوْا مَا بِاَنْفُسِہِمْ۝۰ۭ وَاِذَاۗ اَرَادَ اللہُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوْۗءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَہٗ۝۰ۚ وَمَا لَہُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِہٖ مِنْ وَّالٍ۝۱۱
Lahu muAAaqqibatun min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi yahfathoonahu min amri Allahi inna Allaha la yughayyiru ma biqawmin hatta yughayyiroo ma bianfusihim waitha arada Allahu biqawmin sooan fala maradda lahu wama lahum min doonihi min walin

English

Ahmed Ali

His angels keep watch over him in succession (night and day), in front and behind, by God's command. Verily God does not change the state of a people till they change themselves. When God intends misfortune for a people no one can avert it, and no saviour will they have apart from Him.

11

ہُوَالَّذِيْ يُرِيْكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَّطَـمَعًا وَّيُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ۝۱۲ۚ
Huwa allathee yureekumu albarqa khawfan watamaAAan wayunshio alssahaba alththiqala

English

Ahmed Ali

It is He who makes the lightning flash for fear and hope, and raises massive clouds.

12

وَيُسَبِّــحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِہٖ وَالْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃُ مِنْ خِيْفَتِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيْبُ بِہَا مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ وَہُمْ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِي اؘ۝۰ۚ وَہُوَشَدِيْدُ الْمِحَالِ۝۱۳ۭ
Wayusabbihu alrraAAdu bihamdihi waalmalaikatu min kheefatihi wayursilu alssawaAAiqa fayuseebu biha man yashao wahum yujadiloona fee Allahi wahuwa shadeedu almihali

English

Ahmed Ali

The thunder sings His praises, and the angels too, for awe of Him. He sends thunder-bolts and strikes whosoever He will with them: Even then it is God they contend about! But mighty is He in (His) power.

13

لَہٗ دَعْوَۃُ الْحَقِّ۝۰ۭ وَالَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِہٖ لَا يَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ لَہُمْ بِشَيْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْہِ اِلَى الْمَاۗءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاہُ وَمَا ہُوَ بِبَالِغِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَمَا دُعَاۗءُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ۝۱۴
Lahu daAAwatu alhaqqi waallatheena yadAAoona min doonihi la yastajeeboona lahum bishayin illa kabasiti kaffayhi ila almai liyablugha fahu wama huwa bibalighihi wama duAAao alkafireena illa fee dalalin

English

Ahmed Ali

To call on Him is true (supplication). For those they invoke other than Him do not answer them at all, except like a man who stretches his hands towards the water that it reach his mouth, but it will never reach it. Not more than error are the prayers of infidels.

14

وَلِلہِ يَسْجُدُ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ طَوْعًاوَّكَرْہًا وَّظِلٰلُہُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْاٰصَالِ۝۱۵۞
Walillahi yasjudu man fee alssamawati waalardi tawAAan wakarhan wathilaluhum bialghuduwwi waalasali

English

Ahmed Ali

Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth bows to God in submission with a will or perforce, as do their shadows in the morning and evening.

15

قُلْ مَنْ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ قُلِ اؙ۝۰ۭ قُلْ اَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِہٖۗ اَوْلِيَاۗءَ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ لِاَنْفُسِہِمْ نَفْعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّا۝۰ۭ قُلْ ہَلْ يَسْتَوِي الْاَعْمٰى وَالْبَصِيْرُ۝۰ۥۙ اَمْ ہَلْ تَسْتَوِي الظُّلُمٰتُ وَالنُّوْرُ۝۰ۥۚ اَمْ جَعَلُوْا لِلہِ شُرَكَاۗءَ خَلَقُوْا كَخَلْقِہٖ فَتَشَابَہَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْہِمْ۝۰ۭ قُلِ اللہُ خَالِـقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّہُوَالْوَاحِدُ الْقَہَّارُ۝۱۶
Qul man rabbu alssamawati waalardi quli Allahu qul afaittakhathtum min doonihi awliyaa la yamlikoona lianfusihim nafAAan wala darran qul hal yastawee alaAAma waalbaseeru am hal tastawee alththulumatu waalnnooru am jaAAaloo lillahi shurakaa khalaqoo kakhalqihi fatashabaha alkhalqu AAalayhim quli Allahu khaliqu kulli shayin wahuwa alwahidu alqahharu

English

Ahmed Ali

Ask them: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" (They will) say: "God." Say: "Then why do you take protectors besides Him who have no power over their own gain or loss?" Say: "Can a blind man and one who can see be equal? Or, darkness and light be the same? Or, have those they have appointed equal of God created, as He has created, so that the (two) creations look alike to them?" Say: "God is the creator of everything. He is One, the omnipotent."

16

اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۗءِ مَاۗءً فَسَالَتْ اَوْدِيَۃٌۢ بِقَدَرِہَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِيًا۝۰ۭ وَمِمَّا يُوْقِدُوْنَ عَلَيْہِ فِي النَّارِ ابْتِغَاۗءَ حِلْيَۃٍ اَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُہٗ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللہُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَ۝۰ۥۭ فَاَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْہَبُ جُفَاۗءً۝۰ۚ وَاَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللہُ الْاَمْثَالَ۝۱۷ۭ
Anzala mina alssamai maan fasalat awdiyatun biqadariha faihtamala alssaylu zabadan rabiyan wamimma yooqidoona AAalayhi fee alnnari ibtighaa hilyatin aw mataAAin zabadun mithluhu kathalika yadribu Allahu alhaqqa waalbatila faamma alzzabadu fayathhabu jufaan waamma ma yanfaAAu alnnasa fayamkuthu fee alardi kathalika yadribu Allahu alamthala

English

Ahmed Ali

He sends down water from the skies, which flows in channels according to their capacity, with the scum borne on the surface of the torrent, as rises the scum when metals are heated on the fire for making ornaments and household utensils. This is how God determines truth and falsehood. The scum disappears like the foam on the bank, and that which is useful to man remains on the earth. That is how God sets forth precepts of wisdom.
