6 - Al-An'am

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلہِ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمٰتِ وَالنُّوْرَ۝۰ۥۭ ثُمَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّہِمْ يَعْدِلُوْنَ۝۱
Alhamdu lillahi allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda wajaAAala alththulumati waalnnoora thumma allatheena kafaroo birabbihim yaAAdiloona

English

Ahmed Ali

ALL PRAISE BE to God who created the heavens and the earth, and ordained darkness and light. Yet the unbelievers make the others equal of their Lord.

1

ہُوَالَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ طِيْنٍ ثُمَّ قَضٰۗى اَجَلًا۝۰ۭ وَاَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى عِنْدَہٗ ثُمَّ اَنْتُمْ تَمْتَرُوْنَ۝۲
Huwa allathee khalaqakum min teenin thumma qada ajalan waajalun musamman AAindahu thumma antum tamtaroona

English

Ahmed Ali

It is He who created you from clay then determined a term (of life) for you, and a term (is fixed) with Him. Even then you doubt.

2

وَہُوَاللہُ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَفِي الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَ جَہْرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۳
Wahuwa Allahu fee alssamawati wafee alardi yaAAlamu sirrakum wajahrakum wayaAAlamu ma taksiboona

English

Ahmed Ali

He is God in the heavens and the earth. He knows what you hide and bring out into the open, and knows what you earn (of good and evil).

3

وَمَا تَاْتِيْہِمْ مِّنْ اٰيَۃٍ مِّنْ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّہِمْ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْہَا مُعْرِضِيْنَ۝۴
Wama tateehim min ayatin min ayati rabbihim illa kanoo AAanha muAArideena

English

Ahmed Ali

Yet no sign of their Lord comes to them but they turn away from it.

4

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاۗءَہُمْ۝۰ۭ فَسَوْفَ يَاْتِيْہِمْ اَنْۢبٰۗـؤُا مَا كَانُوْا بِہٖ يَسْتَہْزِءُوْنَ۝۵
Faqad kaththaboo bialhaqqi lamma jaahum fasawfa yateehim anbao ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

English

Ahmed Ali

So they disbelieved the truth when it came to them; but they will soon come to know the reality of what they had ridiculed.

5

اَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ اَہْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِہِمْ مِّنْ قَرْنٍ مَّكَّنّٰہُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ مَا لَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَّكُمْ وَاَرْسَلْنَا السَّمَاۗءَ عَلَيْہِمْ مِّدْرَارًا۝۰۠ وَّجَعَلْنَا الْاَنْھٰرَ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِہِمْ فَاَہْلَكْنٰہُمْ بِذُنُوْبِہِمْ وَاَنْشَاْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِہِمْ قَرْنًا اٰخَرِيْنَ۝۶
Alam yaraw kam ahlakna min qablihim min qarnin makkannahum fee alardi ma lam numakkin lakum waarsalna alssamaa AAalayhim midraran wajaAAalna alanhara tajree min tahtihim faahlaknahum bithunoobihim waanshana min baAAdihim qarnan akhareena

English

Ahmed Ali

Do they not see how many generations We laid low before them, whom We had firmly established in the land as We have not established you, and showered abundant rain on them, and made rivers lap at their feet, yet whom We destroyed for their sins, and raised new generations after them?

6

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتٰبًا فِيْ قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوْہُ بِاَيْدِيْہِمْ لَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۗا اِنْ ہٰذَاۗ اِلَّا سِحْـرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ۝۷
Walaw nazzalna AAalayka kitaban fee qirtasin falamasoohu biaydeehim laqala allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun

English

Ahmed Ali

Even if We had sent you a transcript on paper which they could feel with their hands, the unbelievers would have said: "This is nothing but clear sorcery."

7

وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَاۗ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْہِ مَلَكٌ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ اَنْزَلْنَا مَلَكًا لَّقُضِيَ الْاَمْرُ ثُمَّ لَا يُنْظَرُوْنَ۝۸
Waqaloo lawla onzila AAalayhi malakun walaw anzalna malakan laqudiya alamru thumma la yuntharoona

English

Ahmed Ali

They say: "How is it no angel was sent down to him?" Had We sent an angel down the matter would have come to end, and they would have had no respite.

8

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنٰہُ مَلَكًا لَّجَعَلْنٰہُ رَجُلًا وَّلَـلَبَسْـنَا عَلَيْہِمْ مَّا يَلْبِسُوْنَ۝۹
Walaw jaAAalnahu malakan lajaAAalnahu rajulan walalabasna AAalayhim ma yalbisoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Even if We had sent down an angel as messenger he would have appeared in the garb of a man and filled them with confusion, like the one they are filled with.

9

وَلَقَدِ اسْتُہْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِيْنَ سَخِرُوْا مِنْہُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِہٖ يَسْتَہْزِءُوْنَ۝۱۰ۧ
Walaqadi istuhzia birusulin min qablika fahaqa biallatheena sakhiroo minhum ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

English

Ahmed Ali

Surely the apostles have been mocked before you; but what they had mocked rebounded on the mockers themselves.
