١٧ - ٱلْإِسْرَاء

17 - Al-Isra

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْــنَا فِيْ ہٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوْا۝۰ۭ وَمَا يَزِيْدُہُمْ اِلَّا نُفُوْرًا۝۴۱
Walaqad sarrafna fee hatha alqurani liyaththakkaroo wama yazeeduhum illa nufooran

English

Ahmed Ali

We have explained (the truth) in various ways in this Qur'an, that they may be warned; but it only increased their refractoriness.

41

قُلْ لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَہٗۗ اٰلِـہَۃٌ كَـمَا يَقُوْلُوْنَ اِذًا لَّابْتَغَوْا اِلٰى ذِي الْعَرْشِ سَبِيْلًا۝۴۲
Qul law kana maAAahu alihatun kama yaqooloona ithan laibtaghaw ila thee alAAarshi sabeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "Had there been other gods with Him, as they assert, they would surely have sought a way (of opposition) against the Lord of the Throne."

42

سُبْحٰنَہٗ وَتَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يَقُوْلُوْنَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيْرًا۝۴۳
Subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yaqooloona AAuluwwan kabeeran

English

Ahmed Ali

Too glorious and high is He, too exalted for what they say!

43

تُـسَبِّحُ لَہُ السَّمٰوٰتُ السَّـبْعُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيْہِنَّ۝۰ۭ وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِہٖ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تَفْقَہُوْنَ تَسْبِيْحَہُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّہٗ كَانَ حَلِــيْمًا غَفُوْرًا۝۴۴
Tusabbihu lahu alssamawatu alssabAAu waalardu waman feehinna wain min shayin illa yusabbihu bihamdihi walakin la tafqahoona tasbeehahum innahu kana haleeman ghafooran

English

Ahmed Ali

The seven skies, the earth, and all that lies within them, sing hallelujas to Him. There is nothing that does not chant His praises, but you do not understand their hymns of praise. He is verily clement and forgiving.

44

وَاِذَا قَرَاْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَۃِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُوْرًا۝۴۵ۙ
Waitha qarata alqurana jaAAalna baynaka wabayna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati hijaban mastooran

English

Ahmed Ali

When you recite the Qur'an, We place a hidden veil between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter;

45

وَّجَعَلْنَا عَلٰي قُلُوْبِہِمْ اَكِنَّۃً اَنْ يَّفْقَہُوْہُ وَفِيْۗ اٰذَانِہِمْ وَقْرًا۝۰ۭ وَاِذَا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْاٰنِ وَحْدَہٗ وَلَّوْا عَلٰۗي اَدْبَارِہِمْ نُفُوْرًا۝۴۶
WajaAAalna AAala quloobihim akinnatan an yafqahoohu wafee athanihim waqran waitha thakarta rabbaka fee alqurani wahdahu wallaw AAala adbarihim nufooran

English

Ahmed Ali

And We put covers over their hearts and deafness in their ears that they should not understand it. So when you invoke your Lord alone in the Qur'an they turn their backs and walk away.

46

نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ بِہٖۗ اِذْ يَسْتَمِعُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ وَاِذْ ہُمْ نَجْوٰۗى اِذْ يَقُوْلُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا۝۴۷
Nahnu aAAlamu bima yastamiAAoona bihi ith yastamiAAoona ilayka waith hum najwa ith yaqoolu alththalimoona in tattabiAAoona illa rajulan mashooran

English

Ahmed Ali

We know well with what (intent) they hear you, for when they confer privately the wicked say: "You follow but a man deluded."

47

اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوْا لَكَ الْاَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوْا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ سَبِيْلًا۝۴۸
Onthur kayfa daraboo laka alamthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

See, what comparisons they coin for you, and go astray, and thus cannot find the way.

48

وَقَالُوْۗا ءَ اِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَّرُفَاتًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ خَلْقًا جَدِيْدًا۝۴۹
Waqaloo aitha kunna AAithaman warufatan ainna lamabAAoothoona khalqan jadeedan

English

Ahmed Ali

Yet they say: "When we are turned to bones and bits, shall we be raised as a new creation?"

49

قُلْ كُوْنُوْا حِجَارَۃً اَوْ حَدِيْدًا۝۵۰ۙ
Qul koonoo hijaratan aw hadeedan

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell them: "(Even if) you turn to stones or steel,
