٢٤ - ٱلنُّور

24 - An-Nour

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللہَ يُسَبِّحُ لَہٗ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَالطَّيْرُ صٰۗفّٰتٍ۝۰ۭ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَہٗ وَتَسْبِيْحَہٗ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُوْنَ۝۴۱
Alam tara anna Allaha yusabbihu lahu man fee alssamawati waalardi waalttayru saffatin kullun qad AAalima salatahu watasbeehahu waAllahu AAaleemun bima yafAAaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

Have you not seen that all those who are in the heavens and the earth, and the birds on the wing, sing the praises of God. Each one knows its obligations and its duties, and God knows whatever they do.

41

وَلِلہِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ۝۰ۚ وَاِلَى اللہِ الْمَصِيْرُ۝۴۲
Walillahi mulku alssamawati waalardi waila Allahi almaseeru

English

Ahmed Ali

For God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and the returning is to God.

42

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللہَ يُزْجِيْ سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَہٗ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُہٗ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلٰلِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاۗءِ مِنْ جِبَالٍ فِيْہَا مِنْۢ بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيْبُ بِہٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ وَ يَصْرِفُہٗ عَنْ مَّنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ يَكَادُ سَـنَا بَرْقِہٖ يَذْہَبُ بِالْاَبْصَارِ۝۴۳ۭ
Alam tara anna Allaha yuzjee sahaban thumma yuallifu baynahu thumma yajAAaluhu rukaman fatara alwadqa yakhruju min khilalihi wayunazzilu mina alssamai min jibalin feeha min baradin fayuseebu bihi man yashao wayasrifuhu AAan man yashao yakadu sana barqihi yathhabu bialabsari

English

Ahmed Ali

Have you not seen that God drives the clouds, then joins them together and puts them fold on fold. Then you see the rain fall through them; and He sends down hail from the sky where there are mountains of it, and strikes those with it whom He will, and wards it off from whomsoever He please. His lightning could snatch away their eyes.

43

يُقَلِّبُ اللہُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّہَارَ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَۃً لِّاُولِي الْاَبْصَارِ۝۴۴
Yuqallibu Allahu allayla waalnnahara inna fee thalika laAAibratan liolee alabsari

English

Ahmed Ali

It is God who alternates night and day. There is surely a lesson in this for men of sight.

44

وَاللہُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَاۗبَّۃٍ مِّنْ مَّاۗءٍ۝۰ۚ فَمِنْہُمْ مَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ عَلٰي بَطْنِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَمِنْہُمْ مَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ عَلٰي رِجْلَيْنِ۝۰ۚ وَمِنْہُمْ مَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ عَلٰۗي اَرْبَعٍ۝۰ۭ يَخْلُقُ اللہُ مَا يَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۝۴۵
WaAllahu khalaqa kulla dabbatin min main faminhum man yamshee AAala batnihi waminhum man yamshee AAala rijlayni waminhum man yamshee AAala arbaAAin yakhluqu Allahu ma yashao inna Allaha AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

English

Ahmed Ali

God created every moving thing from water: One crawls on its belly, one walks on two legs, another moves on four. God creates whatsoever He will. Indeed God has power over everything.

45

لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۗ اٰيٰتٍ مُّبَيِّنٰتٍ۝۰ۭ وَ اللہُ يَہْدِيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ۝۴۶
Laqad anzalna ayatin mubayyinatin waAllahu yahdee man yashao ila siratin mustaqeemin

English

Ahmed Ali

We have surely sent down clear signs. It is God who guides whom He will to the path that is straight.

46

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ اٰمَنَّا بِاللہِ وَبِالرَّسُوْلِ وَاَطَعْنَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلّٰى فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْہُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ۝۰ۭ وَمَاۗ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ۝۴۷
Wayaqooloona amanna biAllahi wabialrrasooli waataAAna thumma yatawalla fareequn minhum min baAAdi thalika wama olaika bialmumineena

English

Ahmed Ali

They say they believe in God and the Prophet, and have come to believe, yet a section of them turns back even after this; and these are not believers.

47

وَاِذَا دُعُوْۗا اِلَى اللہِ وَرَسُوْلِہٖ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَہُمْ اِذَا فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْہُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ۝۴۸
Waitha duAAoo ila Allahi warasoolihi liyahkuma baynahum itha fareequn minhum muAAridoona

English

Ahmed Ali

When they are called to God and His Prophet, that he may judge between them, a section of them turns away.

48

وَاِنْ يَّكُنْ لَّہُمُ الْحَقُّ يَاْتُوْۗا اِلَيْہِ مُذْعِنِيْنَ۝۴۹ۭ
Wain yakun lahumu alhaqqu yatoo ilayhi muthAAineena

English

Ahmed Ali

Had right been on their side they would have come to him submissively.

49

اَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِہِمْ مَّرَضٌ اَمِ ارْتَابُوْۗا اَمْ يَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ يَّحِيْفَ اللہُ عَلَيْہِمْ وَرَسُوْلُہٗ۝۰ۭ بَلْ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ ہُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۵۰ۧ
Afee quloobihim maradun ami irtaboo am yakhafoona an yaheefa Allahu AAalayhim warasooluhu bal olaika humu alththalimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Is there a malady in their hearts, or they are deluded, or afraid that God and His Prophet would be unjust in dealing with them? Not so; they are themselves unjust.
