22 - Al-Hajj

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّعْبُدُ اللہَ عَلٰي حَرْفٍ۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ اَصَابَہٗ خَيْرُۨ اطْـمَاَنَّ بِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ اَصَابَتْہُ فِتْنَۃُۨ انْقَلَبَ عَلٰي وَجْہِہٖ۝۰ۣۚ خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَۃَ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ ہُوَالْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِيْنُ۝۱۱
Wamina alnnasi man yaAAbudu Allaha AAala harfin fain asabahu khayrun itmaanna bihi wain asabathu fitnatun inqalaba AAala wajhihi khasira alddunya waalakhirata thalika huwa alkhusranu almubeenu

English

Ahmed Ali

There are some men who worship God only from the margin. If there is some profit they are content; but if calamity befalls them they turn about, thus losing both this world and the next. This is indeed a palpable loss.

11

يَدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللہِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّہٗ وَمَا لَا يَنْفَعُہٗ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ ہُوَ الضَّلٰلُ الْبَعِيْدُ۝۱۲ۚ
YadAAoo min dooni Allahi ma la yadurruhu wama la yanfaAAuhu thalika huwa alddalalu albaAAeedu

English

Ahmed Ali

Leaving God they pray to those who cannot harm or profit them. That is the limit of going astray.

12

يَدْعُوْا لَمَنْ ضَرُّہٗۗ اَقْرَبُ مِنْ نَّفْعِہٖ۝۰ۭ لَبِئْسَ الْمَوْلٰى وَلَبِئْسَ الْعَشِيْرُ۝۱۳
YadAAoo laman darruhu aqrabu min nafAAihi labisa almawla walabisa alAAasheeru

English

Ahmed Ali

They pray to him whose bane is more imminent than his boon: How bad the protector and how bad the associate!

13

اِنَّ اللہَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِہَا الْاَنْہٰرُ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيْدُ۝۱۴
Inna Allaha yudkhilu allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu inna Allaha yafAAalu ma yureedu

English

Ahmed Ali

God will admit those who believe and do the right to gardens full of rippling streams. Verily God does as He pleases.

14

مَنْ كَانَ يَظُنُّ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّنْصُرَہُ اللہُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَۃِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ بِسَبَبٍ اِلَى السَّمَاۗءِ ثُمَّ لْيَقْطَعْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ ہَلْ يُذْہِبَنَّ كَيْدُہٗ مَا يَغِيْظُ۝۱۵
Man kana yathunnu an lan yansurahu Allahu fee alddunya waalakhirati falyamdud bisababin ila alssamai thumma liyaqtaAA falyanthur hal yuthhibanna kayduhu ma yagheethu

English

Ahmed Ali

He who thinks that God will not help him in this world and the next should stretch a rope to the sky then cut it off and see if his mind is relieved (of doubts) by this stratagem.

15

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰہُ اٰيٰتٍؚبَيِّنٰتٍ۝۰ۙ وَّاَنَّ اللہَ يَہْدِيْ مَنْ يُّرِيْدُ۝۱۶
Wakathalika anzalnahu ayatin bayyinatin waanna Allaha yahdee man yureedu

English

Ahmed Ali

That is why We have sent down these clear revelations, for God gives guidance whomsoever He please.

16

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَالَّذِيْنَ ہَادُوْا وَالصّٰبِــــِٕــيْنَ وَالنَّصٰرٰي وَالْمَجُوْسَ وَالَّذِيْنَ اَشْرَكُـوْۗا۝۰ۤۖ اِنَّ اللہَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَہُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَۃِ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَہِيْدٌ۝۱۷
Inna allatheena amanoo waallatheena hadoo waalssabieena waalnnasara waalmajoosa waallatheena ashrakoo inna Allaha yafsilu baynahum yawma alqiyamati inna Allaha AAala kulli shayin shaheedun

English

Ahmed Ali

God will judge between those who believe and the Jews, the Sabians, Christians and the Magians and the idolaters, on the Day of Judgement. Verily God is witness to everything.

17

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللہَ يَسْجُدُ لَہٗ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُوْمُ وَ الْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَاۗبُّ وَكَثِيْرٌ مِّنَ النَّاسِ۝۰ۭ وَكَثِيْرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْہِ الْعَذَابُ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يُّہِنِ اللہُ فَمَا لَہٗ مِنْ مُّكْرِمٍ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاۗءُ۝۱۸ۭ۞
Alam tara anna Allaha yasjudu lahu man fee alssamawati waman fee alardi waalshshamsu waalqamaru waalnnujoomu waaljibalu waalshshajaru waalddawabbu wakatheerun mina alnnasi wakatheerun haqqa AAalayhi alAAathabu waman yuhini Allahu fama lahu min mukrimin inna Allaha yafAAalu ma yashao

English

Ahmed Ali

Do you see how all things in heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, trees and beasts, and men in abundance, pay homage to God? Yet there are many who deserve the punishment. And whosoever God disgraces will have none to raise him up in honour. God does verily as He will.

18

ھٰذٰنِ خَصْمٰنِ اخْتَصَمُوْا فِيْ رَبِّہِمْ۝۰ۡ فَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا قُطِّعَتْ لَہُمْ ثِيَابٌ مِّنْ نَّارٍ۝۰ۭ يُصَبُّ مِنْ فَوْقِ رُءُوْسِہِمُ الْحَمِيْمُ۝۱۹ۚ
Hathani khasmani ikhtasamoo fee rabbihim faallatheena kafaroo quttiAAat lahum thiyabun min narin yusabbu min fawqi ruoosihimu alhameemu

English

Ahmed Ali

These two (believers and unbelievers) are disputants, who contend about their Lord. But they who disbelieve will be fitted out with garments of flames. Boiling water will be poured down over their heads

19

يُصْہَرُ بِہٖ مَا فِيْ بُطُوْنِہِمْ وَالْجُلُوْدُ۝۲۰ۭ
Yusharu bihi ma fee butoonihim waaljuloodu

English

Ahmed Ali

Which will dissolve everything within their bellies, and their skins.
