2 - Al-Baqara

يٰۗاَيُّہَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُوْا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۲۱ۙ
Ya ayyuha alnnasu oAAbudoo rabbakumu allathee khalaqakum waallatheena min qablikum laAAallakum tattaqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

So, O you people, adore your Lord who created you, as He did those before you, that you could take heed for yourselves and fear Him

21

الَّذِىْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ فِرَاشًا وَّالسَّمَاۗءَ بِنَاۗءً۝۰۠ وَّاَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۗءِ مَاۗءً فَاَخْرَجَ بِہٖ مِنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ۝۰ۚ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوْا لِلہِ اَنْدَادًا وَّاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۲
Allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda firashan waalssamaa binaan waanzala mina alssamai maan faakhraja bihi mina alththamarati rizqan lakum fala tajAAaloo lillahi andadan waantum taAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Who made the earth a bed for you, the sky a canopy, and sends forth rain from the skies that fruits may grow -- your food and sustenance. So, do not make another the equal of God knowingly.

22

وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِىْ رَيْبٍ مِّـمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلٰي عَبْدِنَا فَاْتُوْا بِسُوْرَۃٍ مِّنْ مِّثْلِہٖ۝۰۠ وَادْعُوْا شُہَدَاۗءَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللہِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ۝۲۳
Wain kuntum fee raybin mimma nazzalna AAala AAabdina fatoo bisooratin min mithlihi waodAAoo shuhadaakum min dooni Allahi in kuntum sadiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

If you are in doubt of what We have revealed to Our votary, then bring a Surah like this, and call any witness, apart from God, you like, if you are truthful.

23

فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوْا وَلَنْ تَفْعَلُوْا فَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ الَّتِىْ وَقُوْدُھَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَۃُ۝۰ۚۖ اُعِدَّتْ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ۝۲۴
Fain lam tafAAaloo walan tafAAaloo faittaqoo alnnara allatee waqooduha alnnasu waalhijaratu oAAiddat lilkafireena

English

Ahmed Ali

But if you cannot, as indeed you cannot, then guard yourselves against the Fire whose fuel is men and rocks, which has been prepared for the infidels.

24

وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَھُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِىْ مِنْ تَحْتِہَا الْاَنْہٰرُ۝۰ۭ كُلَّمَا رُزِقُوْا مِنْہَا مِنْ ثَمَرَۃٍ رِّزْقًا۝۰ۙ قَالُوْا ھٰذَا الَّذِىْ رُزِقْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ ۝۰ۙ وَاُتُوْا بِہٖ مُتَشَابِہًا۝۰ۭ وَلَھُمْ فِيْہَاۗ اَزْوَاجٌ مُّطَہَّرَۃٌ۝۰ۤۙ وَّھُمْ فِيْہَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۝۲۵
Wabashshiri allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati anna lahum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu kullama ruziqoo minha min thamaratin rizqan qaloo hatha allathee ruziqna min qablu waotoo bihi mutashabihan walahum feeha azwajun mutahharatun wahum feeha khalidoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Announce to those who believe and have done good deeds, glad tidings of gardens under which rivers flow, and where, when they eat the fruits that grow, they will say: "Indeed they are the same as we were given before," so like in semblance the food would be. And they shall have fair spouses there, and live there abidingly.

25

اِنَّ اللہَ لَا يَسْتَحْىٖۗ اَنْ يَّضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا بَعُوْضَۃً فَـمَا فَوْقَہَا۝۰ۭ فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فَيَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّہُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّہِمْ۝۰ۚ وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَاذَاۗ اَرَادَ اللہُ بِہٰذَا مَثَلًا۝۰ۘ يُضِلُّ بِہٖ كَثِيْرًا۝۰ۙ وَّيَہْدِىْ بِہٖ كَثِيْرًا۝۰ۭ وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِہٖۗ اِلَّا الْفٰسِقِيْنَ۝۲۶ۙ
Inna Allaha la yastahyee an yadriba mathalan ma baAAoodatan fama fawqaha faamma allatheena amanoo fayaAAlamoona annahu alhaqqu min rabbihim waamma allatheena kafaroo fayaqooloona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan yudillu bihi katheeran wayahdee bihi katheeran wama yudillu bihi illa alfasiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

God is not loath to advance the similitude of a gnat or a being more contemptible; and those who believe know whatever is from the Lord is true. But those who disbelieve say: "What does God mean by this parable?" He causes some to err this way, and some He guides; yet He turns away none but those who transgress,

26

الَّذِيْنَ يَنْقُضُوْنَ عَہْدَ اللہِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مِيْثَاقِہٖ ۝۰۠ وَيَقْطَعُوْنَ مَاۗ اَمَرَ اللہُ بِہٖۗ اَنْ يُّوْصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُوْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ ھُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ۝۲۷
Allatheena yanqudoona AAahda Allahi min baAAdi meethaqihi wayaqtaAAoona ma amara Allahu bihi an yoosala wayufsidoona fee alardi olaika humu alkhasiroona

English

Ahmed Ali

Who, having sealed it, break God's covenant, dividing what He ordained cohered; and those who spread discord in the land will suffer assuredly.

27

كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاللہِ وَكُنْتُمْ اَمْوَاتًا فَاَحْيَاكُمْ۝۰ۚ ثُمَّ يُمِيْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيْكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلَيْہِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ۝۲۸
Kayfa takfuroona biAllahi wakuntum amwatan faahyakum thumma yumeetukum thumma yuhyeekum thumma ilayhi turjaAAoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then how can you disbelieve in God? He gave you life when you were dead. He will make you die again then bring you back to life: To Him then you will return.

28

ھُوَالَّذِىْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا ۝۰ۤ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰۗى اِلَى السَّمَاۗءِ فَسَوّٰىھُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ۝۰ۭ وَھُوَبِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ۝۲۹ۧ
Huwa allathee khalaqa lakum ma fee alardi jameeAAan thumma istawa ila alssamai fasawwahunna sabAAa samawatin wahuwa bikulli shayin AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

He made for you all that lies within the earth, then turning to the firmament He proportioned several skies: He has knowledge of everything.
