III In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Foreword By Dr. 'Abdullah ibn 'Abd al-Muhsin al-Turki, Minister for Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da wah and Guidance. The Supervisor General of the Complex Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, Who says in His Glorious Book, "There has come to you from Allah a Light and a plain Book", and peace and blessings of Allah be upon the noblest of the Prophets and Messengers, our Prophet Muhammad who has said, "The best of you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches it". Following the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Fahd ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz Al Sa'ud, may Allah guard him, to give the book of Allah all the importance due to it,its publication, its distribution throughout the world, preparation of its commentary and translation of its meanings into different languages of the world; and in view of the firm faith of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da'wah and Guidance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the importance of translating the meanings of the Glorious Qur'an into all the important languages of the world to enable the non-Arabic-speaking Muslims to understand it, and in fulfilment of the injuction of the Prophet # "Convey my message even if it be one single ayah", and with the view to serve our English- speaking brethren, King Fahd Complex For the Printing of the Holy Qur'an at al-Madinah al-Munawwarah has the pleasure to present the English-speaking reader with this English translation by Dr.Muhammad Taqi-ud Din al-Hilali and Dr.Muhammad Muhsin Khan, which has been revised on behalf of the Complex by Fazal Ilahi Zahir, Dr. Amin ad-Din Abu Bakr, Dr. Wajih 'Abderrahman and Dr. V.'Abdur Rahim. We praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'âlâ for His favour to us in completing this great work, praying Him to accept this as a sincere service for His sake, and for the benefit of the Muslims. We are aware of the fact that the translation of the meanings of the Glorious Qur'an, however accurate it may be, must fall short of conveying the wealth of meaning that the miraculous text of the original conveys; and that the meaning conveyed by translation is only the sum total of what the translator has understood from the text of the Glorious Book of Allah, and that it cannot escape the defects and drawbacks that are inherent in every human endeavour. We, therefore, request every reader of this translation to furnish the Complex with any mistakes, omission or addition that he may find in it so that they may be eliminated in subsequent editions in sha' Allah. It is Allah Who bestows success, and guides to the Straight Path. IV ـِاللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful The Noble Qur'an - A Miracle from Allâh (صلى الله عليه وسلم to Prophet Muhammad) ﴿ وَمَا كَانَ هَذَا الْقُرْءَ انُ أَنْ يُفْتَرَى مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْضِيلَ اُلْكِتَبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ الْعَلَمِينَ "And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allâh (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the revelation)which was before it [ i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel)], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. laws, decreed for mankind) - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists). " (V.10:37) ٨٥ ﴿ وَمَن يَبْتَعْ غَيّرَ اُلْإِسْلَمِ دِينًا فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِ اُلْآَخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَسِرِينَ "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." ( V. 3:85) حدثنا عبدُالله بنُ يُوسفَ : حدثنا الليث : حدثنا سعيد المقبري ، عن أبيه ، عن أبي هريرة قال: قال النبي ﴿: ((ما مِنَ الأنبياءِ نَبِّ إلا أعطي من الآيات ما مِثله آمن عليهِ البَشرُ ، وَإنّما كان الَّذي أوتيتُه وحيا أوحاهُ الله إليَّ، فأرجو أن أكُونَ أكثرَهُم تَابعاً يوم القِيامَةِ )). Narrated Abu Huraira رضى الله عنه The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "There was no Prophet among the Prophets but was given miracles because of which people had belief, but what I have been given is the Divine Revelation which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will be more than those of any other Prophet on the Day of Resurrection." ( Hadîth No.379, Vol. No.9, Sahih Al-Bukhari ) V حدثنا محمد بن عبادة : أخبرنا يزيد : حدثنا سليم بن حيان ، وأثنى عليه : حدثنا سعيد بن ميناء : حدثنا أو سمعت جابر بن عبدالله يقول: جاءت ملائكة إلى النبي ﴿ وهو نائم، فقال بعضُهم: إنه نائم ، وقال بعضهم : إن العين نائمة والقلب يقظان ، فقالوا : إنَّ لصاحبكم هذا مثلاً، فاضربوا له مثلاً، فقال بعضهم : إنه نائم ، وقال بعضهم : إنَّ العين نائمةٌ ، والقلب يقظان ، فقالوا : مثله كمثل رجل بنى داراً ، وجعل فيها مأدبة وبعث داعياً ، فمن أجاب الداعي دخل الدار وأكل من المأدبة ، ومن لم يجب الداعي لم يدخل الدار ولم يأكل من المأدبة . فقالوا : أوّلوها له يفقهها ، فقال بعضهم : إنه نائم ، وقال بعضهم إن العين نائمة والقلب يقظان ، فقالوا : فالدار الجنة ، والداعي محمد﴿، فمن أطاع محمداً وي فقد أطاع الله ، ومن عصى محمداً فقد عصى الله، ومحمد وَلا فرق بين الناس . تابعه قتيبة ، عن ليثٍ ، عن خالدٍ ، عن سعيد بن أبي هلال ، عن جابر : خرج علينا النبي 18 . Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah رضى الله عنهما :Some angels came to the Prophet (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) while he was sleeping. Some of them said, "He is sleeping." Others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." Then they said, "There is an example for this companion of yours." One of them said, "Then set forth an example for him." One of them said, "He is sleeping." Another said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." Then they said, "His example is that of a man who built a house and then offered therein a banquet and sent an inviter (messenger) to invite the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of the inviter, entered the house and ate of the banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter, did not enter the house, nor did he eat of the banquet." Then the angels said, "Interpret this parable to him so that he may understand it." One of them said, "He is sleeping." The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." And then they said, "The صلى الله عليه وسلم house stands for Paradise and the callmaker is Muhammad and whoever obeys Muhammad, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys Muhammad, disobeys Allah. Muhammad separated the people (i.e., through his message, the good is distinguished from the bad, and the believers from the disbelievers)." (Hadîth No. 385, Vol. No.9, Sahih Al-Bukhari). حدَّثْنا مُحَمَّد بن سِنان : حدَّثنا فليح بن سليمان : حدَّثنا هلال بن علي ، عن عبد الرَّحمنِ بنِ أبي عمرة، عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول اللَّه صلى اللَّه عليه وسلّم : أنا أوْلى النَّاسِ بِعيسى ابن مريم في الدُّنيا والآخرة، والأنبياء إخوةٌ لعَلاَّت ، أُمَّهاتهم شتَّى ودينهم واحد . وقال إبراهيم بن طهمان ، عن موسى بن عُقبة ، عن صفوان بن سُليم ، عن عطاء بن يسار ، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلی الله عليه وسلم. Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to 'Îsâ (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary). The Prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one (i.e., Islamic Monotheism)." (Hadîth No. 652, Vol. No.4, Sahih Al-Bukhari). بابُ وجُوبِ الإِيمَانِ بِرِسَالةِ النبي صَلَّى اللَّه عليْه وسَلَّم حدَّثَني يونس بن عبدالأعلى : أخبرنا ابنُ وَهْب قال : وأخبرني عمرو أنّ أبا يونس حدَّثه عن أبي هريرة عن رسول اللَّه صلَّى اللَّه عليه وسلم أنَّه قال: والذي نَفْس مُحمَّد بِيده لا يَسمَعُ بِي أحدٌ من هذه الأُمَّةِ يهودي ولا نصراني ثم يموت ولم يؤمن بالذي أُرسِلْتُ بِه إلاّ كان من أصحاب النَّار. (رواه مسلم في كتاب الإِيمان) It is obligatory to have belief in the Messengership of the Prophet (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) .Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, there is none from amongst the Jews and the Christians (of these present nations) wno hears about me and then dies without believing in the Message with which I have been sent (i.e., Islamic Monotheism), but he will be from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire." (Sahih Muslim, the Book of Faith, Vol.1, Chapter No. 24). [See also (V.3:116)] الجزء ١ سورة الفاتحة ١ 1 Part 1 Sûrah 1. Al-Fatihah Sürat Al-Fâtihah (The Opening) I 1.

The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace14, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger15 (such as the بِسْمِ اللهِالرَّحْنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾ الْحَمْدُ لِتَّهِرَبِ الْعَلَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّين إِيَّكَ نَعْبُهُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ أَهْدِنَا الصِّرَطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ؟ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعُمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ [1] (V.1:2) Lord: The actual word used in the Qur'an is Rabb. There is no proper equivalent for Rabb in English language. It means the One and the Only Lord for all the universe, its Creator, Owner, Organizer, Provider, Master, Planner, Sustainer, Cherisher, and Giver of security. Rabb is also one of the Names of Allâh. We have used the word "Lord" as the nearest to Rabb. All occurrences of "Lord" in the interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an actually mean Rabb and should be understood as such. [2] (V.1:2). Narrated Abu Sa'id bin Al-Mu'alla: While I was praying in the mosque, Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم called me but I did not respond to him. Later I said, "O Allah's Messenger, I was praying." He said, "Didn't Allah say - Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and His Messenger when he صلى الله عليه وسلم calls you." (٧. 8:24). He then said to me, "I will teach you a Sûrah which is the greatest Sûrah in the Qur'an, before you leave the mosque." Then he got hold of my hand, and when he intended to leave (the mosque), I said to him, "Didn't you say to me, "I will teach you a Surah which is the greatest Surah in the Qur'an?" He said, "Al-Hamdu lillahi Rabbil-'alamîn [i.e. all the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)], Sûrat Al-Fatihah which is As-Sab' Al-Mathâni (i.e. the seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.1). [3] (V.1:6) Guidance is of two kinds: a) Guidance of Taufiq i.e. totally from Allah, i.e. Allah opens one's heart to receive the truth (from disbelief to Belief in Islamic Monotheism). b) Guidance of Irshad i.e. through preaching by Allah's Messengers and the pious preachers who preach the truth i.e. Islamic Monotheism. [4] (V.1:7) i.e. the way of the Prophets, the Siddiqun (i.e. those followers of the Prophet, who were first and foremost to believe in him, like Abu Bakr As-Siddiq), the martyrs and the righteous, [as Allah ]> , ; said: "And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddîqun, the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!" (V.4:69)]. صلى الله عليه وسلم I asked Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنه Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim [5] about the Statement of Allah: 1." غير المغضوب عليهم Gharil maghdubi 'alaihim (not the way of those who earned Your Anger)," he صلى الله عليه وسلم replied "They are the Sûrah 1. Al-Fâtihah Part 1 2 الجزء ١ سورة الفاتحة ١ Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). [1][2],[3] اَلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّآلِينَ Jews". And 2. ولا الضالين Walad dalin (nor of those who went astray)," he "replied: "The Christians, and they are the ones who went astray صلى الله عليه وسلم [This Hadith is quoted by At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]. [1] (V.1:7) Narration about Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail. Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضى الله عنهما :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم met Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail in the bottom of (the valley of) Baldah before the descent of any Divine revelation to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم .A meal was presented to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but he refused to eat from it. (Then it was presented to Zaid) who said, "I do not eat anything which you slaughter on your Nusub* in the name of your idols etc. I eat only those ( animals ) on which Allah's Name has been mentioned at the time of (their) slaughtering." Zaid bin 'Amr used to criticise the way Quraish used to slaughter their animals and used to say, "Allah has created the sheep and He has sent the water for it from the sky, and He has grown the grass for it from the earth; yet you slaughter it in others than the Name of Allâh." He used to say so, for he rejected that practice and considered it as something abominable. * Nusub: See the glossary. Narrated Ibn 'Umar Las & 1 +): Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail went to Sham (the region comprising Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan), enquiring about a true religion to follow. He met a Jewish religious scholar and asked him about their religion. He said, "I intend to embrace your religion, so tell me something about it." The Jew said, "You will not embrace our religion unless you receive your share of Allah's Anger." Zaid said, "I do not run except from Allah's Anger, and I will never bear a bit of it if I have the power to avoid it. Can you tell me of some other religion?" He said, "I do not know any other religion except Hanif (Islamic Monotheism)" Zaid enquired, "What is Hanif?" He said, "Hanif is the religion of (the Prophet) Abraham (>JI ule, he was neither a Jew nor a Christian, and he used to worship none but Allâh (Alone) - Islamic Monotheism." Then Zaid went out and met a Christian religious scholar and told him the same (as before). The Christian said, "You will not embrace our religion unless you get a share of Allah's Curse." Zaid replied, "I do not run except from Allah's Curse, and I will never bear any of Allah's Curse and His Anger if I have the power to avoid them. Will you tell me of some other religion?" He replied, "I do not know any other religion except Hanif (Islamic Monotheism)." Zaid enquired, "What is Hanif?" He replied "Hanif is the religion of (the Prophet) Abraham >JI ule he was neither a Jew nor a Christian, (and he used to worship none but Allah (Alone) - Islamic Monotheism." When Zaid heard their statement about (the religion of) Abraham, he left that place, and when he came out, he raised both his hands and said, "O Allah !. I make You my Witness that I am on the religion of Abraham". Narrated Asmå' bint Abî Bakr is å l +): I saw Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail standing with his back against the Ka'bah and saying, "O people of Quraish! By Allâh, none amongst you is on the religion of Abraham except me." She added: He (Zaid) used to preserve the lives of little girls; if somebody wanted to kill his daughter he would say to him, "Do not kill her for I will feed her on your behalf." So he would take her, and when she grew up nicely, he would say to her father, 'Now if you will (wish), I will give her to you, and if you will (wish), I will feed her on your behalf." (Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.5, Hadîth No.169). [2] صلى الله Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنه V. 1:7): Narrated 'Ubadah bin As-Samit) we said, "Whoever does not recite Sûrat Al-Fatihah in his prayer, his prayer is invalid." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, Hadîth No.723). صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنه V. 1:7): Narrated Abu Hurairah) [5] said, "When the Imam says: Ghairil-maghdubi 'alaihim walad-dallîn. [i.e. not the way of those who earned Your Anger, nor the way of those who went astray (1:7)], then you must say, Amin, for if one's utterance of Amîn coincides with that of the angels, then his past sins will be forgiven." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.2). الجزء ١ سورة البقرة ٢ Part 1 3 Sûrah2. Al-Baqarah Sûrat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) II In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 1. Alif-Lâm-Mîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings.] 2. This is the Book (the Qur'an), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism who fear Allâh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allâh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. 3. Who believe in the Ghaiblil and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât),12 and spend out of what we have provided for them [i.e. give Zakât 3, spend on مِائَةِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَبُ لَأَرَيْبَّ فِهِ هُدَى r لِلْمُنَّقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَوةَ [1] (V.2:3): Al-Ghaib: literally means a thing not seen. But this word includes vast meanings: Belief in Allah, Angels, Holy Books, Allah's Messengers, Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Pre-ordainments). It also includes what Allâh and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم informed about the knowledge of the matters of past, present, and future e.g., news about the creation of the heavens and earth, botanical and zoological life, the news about the nations of the past, and about Paradise and Hell. [2] (V.2:3): Igamat-as-Salât:) JI &ül : The performance of Salat (prayers). It means that: a).Each and every Muslim, male or female, is obliged to offer his Salat (prayers) regularly five times a day at the specified times; the male in a mosque in congregation and the female at home. As the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said: "Order your children for Salat (prayers) at the age of seven and beat them (about it) at the age of ten." The chief (of a family, town, tribe, etc.) and the Muslim rulers of a country are held responsible before Allah in case of non-fulfillment of this obligation by the Muslims under their authority. b). One must offer the Salat (prayers) as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to offer them with all their rules and regulations, i.e., standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting, as he صلى الله عليه وسلم has said: "Offer your Salat (prayers) the way you see me offering them (see Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, H.No. 604 and Vol. 9, H.No. 352)." [For the characteristics of the Salat (prayer) of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم see Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, H.No. 702, 703, 704, 723, 786, 787]. [3] (V. 2:3) Zakat &U ;: A certain fixed proportion of the wealth and of each and every kind of property liable to Zakat of a Muslim to be paid yearly for the benefit of the poor in the Muslim community. The payment of Zakat is obligatory as it is one of the five pillars of Islam. Zakat is the major economic means for establishing social justice and leading the Muslim society to prosperity and security. [See Sahih Al- Bukhåri, Vol. 2, Book of Zakåt, No. 24] سورة البقرة ٢ الجزء ١ 4 Part 1 Sûrah 2. Al-Baqarah وَمَّا رَزَقْنَهُمْ يُفِقُونَ themselves, their parents, their children, their wives, etc., and also give charity to the poor and also in Allah's Cause - Jihad]. 4. And who believe in (the Qur'an and the Sunnah) 1 which has been sent down صلى الله عليه revealed) to you (Muhammad) ) and in that which was sent down before you [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.] and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter. (Resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell ). 5. They are on (true) guidance from their Lord, and they are the successful. 6. Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad warn them or do not warn (صلى الله عليه وسلم them, they will not believe. 7. Allâh has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allâh's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment. 8. And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: "We believe in Allâh and the Last Day" while in fact they believe not. 9. They (think to) deceive Allah and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not! 10. In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allâh has increased their وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ أُوْلَكَ عَلَى هُدَّى مِّن رَبِهِمٌ وَأُوْلَتِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَوَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرُهُمْلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ خَتَمَ اللّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ عَلَى سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَى أَبْصَرِهِمْ غِشَوَةٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِاللّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ اُلْآَخِ وَمَاهُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ A يُخَدِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ (Q) فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ قَرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضَّا [1] (V. 2:4) Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضى الله عنهما :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Islâm is based on (the following) five (principles): 1. To testify that "Lâ ilâha illallah wa anna Muhammad-ur-Rasûl Allâh" (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is the Messenger of Allâh). 2. Iqâmat-as-Salât: to perform the five (compulsory congregational) Salât (prayers). 3. To pay Zakât. 4. To perform Hajj (i.e. pilgrimage to Makkah). 5. To observe Saum (fasting) during the month of Ramadan. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Hadith No. 7). سورة البقرة ٢ الجزء ١ 5 Part 1 Sûrah2.

A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies. 11. And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peace-makers." 12. Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not. 13. And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people وصلى الله عليه وسلم followers of Muhammad) Al-Ansâr and Al-Muhajirun) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not. 14. And when they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are alone with their Shayâtîn (devils - polytheists, hypocrites), they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking." 15. Allâh mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doing to wander blindly. 16. These are they who have purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And they were not guided. 17. Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted all around him, Allâh took away their light and left them in darkness. (So) they could not see. 18. They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path). 19. Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap for fear of death. But Allâh ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allâh will gather them all together). 20. The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He سورة البقرة ٢ الجزء ١ 6 Part 1 Sûrah 2. Al-Baqarah could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allâh has power over all things. 21. O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allâh), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2). 22. Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allâh (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).[1] 23. And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allâh, if you are truthful. 24. But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers. 25. And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is what we were provided with before," and they will be given things in resemblance (i.e. in the same form but different in taste) and they shall have therein Azwâjun Mutahharatun12 (purified mates or wives) and they will abide therein forever. لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَرِ هِمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ r . شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُ وارَبَّكُمُ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَثَّقُونَ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فِرَشًا وَالسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءَ وَأَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءٍ فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِ، مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ رِزْقًالَّكُمْ فَلَا تَجْعَلُواْلِلَِّأَنْدَادًا وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ وَإِن كُنْتُمْ فِى رَيْبٍ مِّمَانَزَّلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُواْ بِسُورَةٍ مِّن مِثْلِهِ، وَأَدْعُواْ شُهَدَآءَكُمْ مِن دُونِ اَللَّهِ إِن كُنْتُمْ صَدِقِينَ فَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُواْ وَلَنْ تَفْعَلُواْ فَأَتَّقُواْ النَّارَ الَّتِى وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْكَفِرِينَ وَبَشْرِ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّلِحَتِ أَنَّلَهُمْ جَنَّتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَِّ كُلَّمَارُ زِقُواْ مِنْهَا مِن ثَمَرَ ةِرِزْقًاْ قَالُواْ هَذَا الَّذِى رُزِقْنَا مِن قَبْلٌ وَأُتُواْبِهِ، مُتَشَبِهَاً وَلَهُمْ فِيَهَآ أَزْوٌَ مُطَهَرَةٌ وَهُمْ فِيهَا ٢٥ خَلِدُونَ صلى الله عليه وسلم asked the Prophet |: رضى الله عنه V.2:22) Narrated 'Abdullah) [1] ,"What is the greatest sin in consideration with Allâh?"
