Ruku 245, Juz 15 (ٱلْرُكوع 245, جزء 15)

١٧ - ٱلْإِسْرَاء

17 - Al-Isra

وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِيْ يَـقُوْلُوا الَّتِيْ ھِيَ اَحْسَنُ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ يَنْزَغُ بَيْنَہُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ الشَّيْطٰنَ كَانَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيْنًا۝۵۳
Waqul liAAibadee yaqooloo allatee hiya ahsanu inna alshshaytana yanzaghu baynahum inna alshshaytana kana lilinsani AAaduwwan mubeenan

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell My creatures only to speak words that are good. Verily Satan sows dissensions: Satan is indeed the acknowledged enemy of mankind.

53

رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ۝۰ۭ اِنْ يَّشَاْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ اَوْ اِنْ يَّشَاْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَمَاۗ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْہِمْ وَكِيْلًا۝۵۴
Rabbukum aAAlamu bikum in yasha yarhamkum aw in yasha yuAAaththibkum wama arsalnaka AAalayhim wakeelan

English

Ahmed Ali

Your Lord knows you better: He may have mercy on you if He please, or punish you if He will. Yet We have not sent you as warden over them.

54

وَرَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّـبِيّٖنَ عَلٰي بَعْضٍ وَّاٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوْرًا۝۵۵
Warabbuka aAAlamu biman fee alssamawati waalardi walaqad faddalna baAAda alnnabiyyeena AAala baAAdin waatayna dawooda zabooran

English

Ahmed Ali

Your Lord knows whoever is in the heavens and the earth. We exalted some of the prophets over the others; and to David We gave the Book of Psalms.

55

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِيْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِہٖ فَلَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلَا تَحْوِيْلًا۝۵۶
Quli odAAu allatheena zaAAamtum min doonihi fala yamlikoona kashfa alddurri AAankum wala tahweelan

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "Call those whom you imagine to be gods besides Him; yet they have no power to relieve you of any distress or to avert it."

56

اُولٰۗىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ يَبْتَغُوْنَ اِلٰى رَبِّہِمُ الْوَسِـيْلَۃَ اَيُّہُمْ اَقْرَبُ وَيَرْجُوْنَ رَحْمَتَہٗ وَيَخَافُوْنَ عَذَابَہٗ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ كَانَ مَحْذُوْرًا۝۵۷
Olaika allatheena yadAAoona yabtaghoona ila rabbihimu alwaseelata ayyuhum aqrabu wayarjoona rahmatahu wayakhafoona AAathabahu inna AAathaba rabbika kana mahthooran

English

Ahmed Ali

Those they invoke themselves seek the way to their Lord, (striving) which one of them shall be nearest (to Him); and hope for His grace, and dread His punishment. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is to be feared!

57

وَاِنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَۃٍ اِلَّا نَحْنُ مُہْلِكُوْہَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَۃِ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُوْہَا عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًا۝۰ۭ كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِي الْكِتٰبِ مَسْطُوْرًا۝۵۸
Wain min qaryatin illa nahnu muhlikooha qabla yawmi alqiyamati aw muAAaththibooha AAathaban shadeedan kana thalika fee alkitabi mastooran

English

Ahmed Ali

There is not a habitation We shall not destroy before the Day of Resurrection, or not inflict severe punishment upon it. This is in accordance with the law (of God).

58

وَمَا مَنَعَنَاۗ اَنْ نُّرْسِلَ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّاۗ اَنْ كَذَّبَ بِہَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَ۝۰ۭ وَاٰتَيْنَا ثَمُوْدَ النَّاقَۃَ مُبْصِرَۃً فَظَلَمُوْا بِہَا۝۰ۭ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْاٰيٰتِ اِلَّا تَخْوِيْفًا۝۵۹
Wama manaAAana an nursila bialayati illa an kaththaba biha alawwaloona waatayna thamooda alnnaqata mubsiratan fathalamoo biha wama nursilu bialayati illa takhweefan

English

Ahmed Ali

Nothing could stop Us from sending signs except that the earlier people had rejected them as lies. We sent to Thamud the she-camel as a token to make it clear to them, but they treated her cruelly; and We send signs only to deter.

59

وَاِذْ قُلْنَا لَكَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ اَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِ۝۰ۭ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّءْيَا الَّتِيْۗ اَرَيْنٰكَ اِلَّا فِتْنَۃً لِّلنَّاسِ وَ الشَّجَرَۃَ الْمَلْعُوْنَۃَ فِي الْقُرْاٰنِ۝۰ۭ وَنُخَوِّفُہُمْ۝۰ۙ فَمَا يَزِيْدُہُمْ اِلَّا طُغْيَانًا كَبِيْرًا۝۶۰ۧ
Waith qulna laka inna rabbaka ahata bialnnasi wama jaAAalna alrruya allatee araynaka illa fitnatan lilnnasi waalshshajarata almalAAoonata fee alqurani wanukhawwifuhum fama yazeeduhum illa tughyanan kabeeran

English

Ahmed Ali

When We said to you: "Verily your Lord circumscribes mankind," and showed you the vision and the accursed tree of the Qur'an, it was as a bone of contention for men. Thus do We (instil) fear in them; but they only transgress the more.
