٣٩ - ٱلزُّمَر

39 - Az-Zumar

اَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ اللہُ صَدْرَہٗ لِلْاِسْلَامِ فَہُوَعَلٰي نُوْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّہٖ۝۰ۭ فَوَيْلٌ لِّــلْقٰسِيَۃِ قُلُوْبُہُمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرِ اؘ۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ۝۲۲
Afaman sharaha Allahu sadrahu lilislami fahuwa AAala noorin min rabbihi fawaylun lilqasiyati quloobuhum min thikri Allahi olaika fee dalalin mubeenin

English

Ahmed Ali

Will he whose breast has been opened up to peace (not be) in luminescence from his Lord? Alas for those whose hearts have been hardened to God's remembrance! They wander (astray) in clear error.

22

اَللہُ نَزَّلَ اَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيْثِ كِتٰبًا مُّتَشَابِہًا مَّثَانِيَ۝۰ۤۖ تَــقْشَعِرُّ مِنْہُ جُلُوْدُ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّہُمْ۝۰ۚ ثُمَّ تَلِيْنُ جُلُوْدُہُمْ وَقُلُوْبُہُمْ اِلٰى ذِكْرِ اؘ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ ہُدَى اللہِ يَہْدِيْ بِہٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللہُ فَمَا لَہٗ مِنْ ہَادٍ۝۲۳
Allahu nazzala ahsana alhadeethi kitaban mutashabihan mathaniya taqshaAAirru minhu juloodu allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum thumma taleenu julooduhum waquloobuhum ila thikri Allahi thalika huda Allahi yahdee bihi man yashao waman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin

English

Ahmed Ali

God has sent down the very best discourse, the Book conformable in its juxtapositions, which makes all of those who fear their Lord, shudder. So their hearts and bodies become receptive to the remembrance of God. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whosoever He will; but whosoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way.

23

اَفَمَنْ يَّتَّـقِيْ بِوَجْہِہٖ سُوْۗءَ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَۃِ۝۰ۭ وَقِيْلَ لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ ذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۲۴
Afaman yattaqee biwajhihi sooa alAAathabi yawma alqiyamati waqeela lilththalimeena thooqoo ma kuntum taksiboona

English

Ahmed Ali

Can he who will have to shield himself against the torment of the Day of Resurrection (be the same as one at peace)? The evil-doers will be told: "So taste what you earned."

24

كَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِہِمْ فَاَتٰىہُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ۝۲۵
Kaththaba allatheena min qablihim faatahumu alAAathabu min haythu la yashAAuroona

English

Ahmed Ali

Those before them had denied, then punishment had overtaken them is from a quarter they did not suspect.

25

فَاَذَاقَہُمُ اللہُ الْخِــزْيَ فِي الْحَيٰوۃِ الدُّنْيَا۝۰ۚ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَۃِ اَكْبَرُ۝۰ۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۶
Faathaqahumu Allahu alkhizya fee alhayati alddunya walaAAathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then God made them taste of disgrace in this life; and the torment of the life to come is greater, if they understand.

26

وَلَــقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيْ ھٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّہُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ۝۲۷ۚ
Walaqad darabna lilnnasi fee hatha alqurani min kulli mathalin laAAallahum yatathakkaroona

English

Ahmed Ali

We have given examples of every kind for men in this Qur'an so that they may contemplate:

27

قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا غَيْرَ ذِيْ عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّہُمْ يَتَّـقُوْنَ۝۲۸
Quranan AAarabiyyan ghayra thee AAiwajin laAAallahum yattaqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

A clear discourse which expounds all things without any obliquity, so that they may take heed for themselves.

28

ضَرَبَ اللہُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيْہِ شُرَكَاۗءُ مُتَشٰكِسُوْنَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ۝۰ۭ ہَلْ يَسْتَوِيٰنِ مَثَلًا۝۰ۭ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلہِ۝۰ۭ بَلْ اَكْثَرُہُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۹
Daraba Allahu mathalan rajulan feehi shurakao mutashakisoona warajulan salaman lirajulin hal yastawiyani mathalan alhamdu lillahi bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

God advances the example of a man who is owned (as slave in common) by a number of men at loggerheads, and another man who is owned by only one. Are these two alike in attribute? God be praised; yet many of them do not know.

29

اِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَّاِنَّہُمْ مَّيِّتُوْنَ۝۳۰ۡ
Innaka mayyitun wainnahum mayyitoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Verily you will die, and so will they.

30

ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَۃِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُوْنَ۝۳۱ۧ
Thumma innakum yawma alqiyamati AAinda rabbikum takhtasimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then on the Day of Resurrection you will dispute before your Lord.
