Salam Alikum This is the Quran, a new translation by M A. S. Abdel
Halim
makes me learn
this begins, Joe's number one,
chapter number one, the opening.
In the Name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. Praise
belongs to God, Lord of the Worlds, the Lord of Mercy, the
Giver of Mercy, Master of the Day of Judgment.
It is You we worship, It is You we ask for help guide us to the
straight path, the path of those you have blessed, those who incur
no anger, and who have not gone astray.
Chapter number two, the cow
in the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. And if
Lam Meem This is the scripture in which there is no doubt containing
guidance for those who are mindful of God, who believe in the unseen,
keep up the prayer and give out of what We have provided for them.
Those who believe in the Revelation sent down to you,
Muhammad, and in what was sent before you, those who have firm
faith in the hereafter. Such people are following their Lord's
guidance, and it is there who will prosper.
As for those who disbelieve, it makes no difference whether you
want them or not. They will not believe God has sealed their
hearts in their ears, and their eyes are covered. They will have
great torment. Some people say we believe in God and the Last Day,
when really they do not believe they seek to deceive God and the
believers, but they only deceive themselves. Though they do not
realize it.
There is a disease in their hearts, which God has added to
agonizing torment awaits them for their persistent lying, when it is
said to them Do not cause corruption in the land. They say
we are only putting things right. But really they are causing
corruption, though they do not realize it.
When it is said to them believe as other people believe. They say
should we believe as the fools do. But they are the force though they
do not know it.
When they meet the believers, they say we believe but when they are
alone with their evil ones, they say we're really with you. We were
only mocking God is mocking them, and allowing them more slack to
wander blindly in their insulates. They have bought error and
exchange for guidance. So their trade reaps no profit, and they
are not rightly guided.
They are like people who labor to kindle a fire. When it lights up
everything around them. God takes away all their light, leaving them
in utter darkness unable to see death, dumb and blind. They will
never return. Or like people who are under a cloudburst from the
sky. With its darkness, thunder and lightning put their fingers
into their ears to keep out the thunderclaps for fear of death.
God surrounds the disbelievers. The lightning almost snatches away
their sight.
Whenever it flashes on them, they walk on. And When darkness falls
around them, they stand still. If God so willed, He could take away
their hearing and sight. God has power over everything. People
worship your Lord who created you and those before you so that you
may be mindful of him, who spread out the earth for you and built
the sky, who sent water down from it. And with that water, produce
things for your sustenance. Through not knowing this set up
rivals to God. If you have doubts about the revelation, We have sent
down to our servant, then produce a single Surah like it and list
whatever supporters you have other than God if you truly think you
can.
If you cannot do this, and you never will then be aware of the
fire prepared for the disbelievers whose fuel is men and stones.
Prophet, give those who believe and do good the news that they
will have gardens graced with flowing streams. Whenever they are
given sustenance from the fruits of these gardens. They will say we
have been given this before because they were provided with
something like it. They will have pure spouses and there they will
stay
God does not shy away from doubt from drawing comparisons, even
with something as lowly as a gnat or higher. The believers know it
is the truth from their Lord. But the big disbelievers say, What
Does god mean by such a comparison?
Through it, he makes many growth go astray, and leads many to the
right path. But it is only the rebels he makes go astray. Those
who break their covenant with God after it has been confirmed, who
sever the bonds that God has commanded to be joined, who spread
corruption on the earth. These are the losers.
How can you ignore God when you were lifeless, and he gave you
life, when he will cause you to die, then resurrect you to be
returned to him? It was he who created all that is on the earth
for you, then turn to the sky and made the seven heavens. It is He
who has knowledge of all things.
Prophet, when your Lord told the angels, I am putting a successor
on Earth, they said, how can you put someone there who will cause
damage and bloodshed when we celebrate your praise and proclaim
Your Holiness? But he said, I know things you do not.
He tapped He taught Adam all the names of things, then showed them
to the angels and said, tell me the names of these if you truly
think you can.
They said, may you be glorified. We have knowledge only of what you
have taught us. You are the All Knowing and all wise. Then he
said, Adam, tell me the names of these. When he told them their
names, God said, Did I not tell you that I know what is hidden in
the heavens and the earth, and that I know what you reveal and
what you can seal.
When we told the angels bow down before Adam They all about but not
Iblees who refused and was arrogant. He was disobedient. We
said Adam live with your wife in this garden. Both of you eat
freely there as you will, but do not go near this street or you
will both become wrongdoers. But Satan made them slip and removed
them from the state they were in. We said get out all of you. You
are each other's enemy. On Earth, you will have a place to stay and
livelihood for a time. Then Adam received some words from his Lord
and He accepted his repentance. He is the ever relenting the Most
Merciful. We said, get out all of you. But when guidance comes from
me, as it certainly will, there will be no fear for those who
follow my guidance, nor will they grieve.
Those who disbelieve and deny our messages shall be the inhabitants
of the fire. And there they will remain
children of Israel. Remember how I bless you. Honor your pledge to me
and I will honor my pledge to you. I am the one you should fear.
Believe in the message I've sent down confirming what you already
possess. Do not be the first to reject it.
And do not sell my messages for a small price. Be mindful of me. Do
not mix truth with falsehood. Or hide the truth when you know it.
Keep up the prayer. Pay the prescribed arms and bow down to
God with those who bow. How can you tell people to do what is
right and forget to do it yourselves. Even though you recite
the Scripture, Have you no sense. Seek help with steadfastness and
prayer. Though this is hard indeed for anyone but the humble who know
that they will meet their Lord and that it is time and it is to him
they will return
children of Israel. Remember how I blessed you and favored you over
other people. guard yourselves against the day when to soul when
no soul will replace any another in any way. No intercession will
be accepted from it, nor any compensation, nor will they be
helped.
Remember when we saved you from Pharaohs people who subject who
subjected you to terrible torment, slaughtering your sons and sparing
only your women. This was a great trial from your Lord and when we
parted the sea for you. So saving you and drowning Pharaohs people
right before your eyes.
We appointed 40 nights for Moses on Mount Sinai. And then while he
was away, you took to worshipping the calf a terrible rock. Even
then we forgave you, so that you might be thankful
Remember when we gave Moses the Scripture and the means to
distinguish right and wrong, so that you might be guided. Moses
said to his people, my people, you have wronged yourselves by
worshiping the calf. So repent to your maker and kill the guilty
among you.
That is the best you can do in the eyes of your maker. He accepted
your repentance. He is the ever relenting and the Most Merciful.
Remember when you said Moses, we will not believe you until we see
God face to face. At that Thunderbolt struck you as you
looked on. Then We revived you after your death so that you might
be thankful. We made the clouds cover you with shade and sent mana
and quails down to you saying, eat the good things we have provided
for you.
It was not us they wronged they wronged themselves.
Remember when we said Enter this town and eat freely there as you
will but enter its gate humbly and say relieve us, then we shall
forgive you your sins and increase the rewards of those who do good.
But the wrongdoers substituted a different word for the one they
have been given.
So because they persistently disobeyed, we sent a plague down
from the heavens upon the wrongdoers.
Remember when Moses prayed for water for his people, and he said
to him, and we said to him, strike the rock with your staff 12
Springs gushed out, and each group knew its drinking place. Eat and
drink the sustenance God has provided, and do not cause
corruption in the land. Remember when you said Moses, we cannot
bear to eat only one kind of food? So pray to your Lord to bring out
for us some of the Earth's produce. Its herbs and cucumbers
is garlic, lentils and onions.
He said, Would you exchange better for worse? Go to Egypt and there
you will find what you have asked for.
They were struck with humiliation and wretchedness. And they
incurred the wrath of God because they persistently rejected his
messages and killed prophets. Contrary to all that is right.
All this was because they disobeyed and we're law breakers.
The Muslim believers, the Jews, the Christians and the Sabians.
All those who believe in God and the Last Day and do good will have
their reward rewards with their Lord.
No fear for them, nor will they agree. Remember when We took your
pledge and made the mountain tower high above you and said hold fast
to what we have given you, and bear its contents in mind, so that
you may be conscious of God.
Even after that you turned away, had it not been for God's favor
and mercy on you, you would certainly have been lost. You know
about those of you who broke the Sabbath. And so we said to them,
be like apes be outcasts. We made this an example to Pete to those
people who were there at the time, and to those who came after that,
and a lesson to all who are mindful of God.
Remember, when Moses said to his people, God commands you to
sacrifice a cow? They said, Are you making fun of us? He answered,
God forbid that I should be so ignorant. They said call on your
Lord for us to show us what sort of cow it should be. He answered.
God says it should be neither too old nor too young. But in between,
so do as you are commanded. They said, Call on your Lord for us to
show us what color it should be. He answered, God says it should be
a bright yellow cow pleasing to the eye. They said, calling your
Lord for us to show exactly what it is. All Cows are more or less a
light to us.
With God's Will we shall be guided. He replied. It is a cow
not trained to tell the earth or water the fields, a perfect and
unblemished cow. They said, now you have brought the truth. And so
they slaughtered it, though they almost failed to do so. When you
Israelites killed someone and started to blame one another.
Although God was to bring what you had concealed to light. We said
strike the body with a part of the cow.
Thus, God brings the dead to life and shows his signs to so that you
may understand.
Even after that your hearts became as hard as rocks or even harder.
For there are rocks from which streams spring out, and some from
which water comes when they split open, and others which fall down
in awe of God.
He is not unaware of what you do.
So can you believers hope that such people will believe you, when
some of them used to hear the words of God, and then
deliberately twist them, even when they understood them? When they
met the believers, they say, we to believe. But when they are alone
with each other, they say, how can you tell them about God's
revelation to us?
They will be able to use it to argue against you before your
Lord, Have you no sense?
Do they not know that God is well aware of what they conceal and
what they reveal?
Some of them are uneducated, and know the Scripture only through
wishful thinking. They rely on guesswork. So woe to those who
write something down with their own hands and then claim this is
from God, in order to make some small gain. Woe to them for what
their hands have written, wove to them for all that they have
earned. They say the Fire will only touch us for a few days. Say
to them, Have you received a promise from God, for God never
breaks His promise? Or are you saying things about them, of which
you have no real knowledge. Truly, those who do evil and are
surrounded by their sins will be inhabitants of the fire there to
remain, while those who believe and do good deeds will be the
inhabitants of the garden there to remain.
Remember when we took a pledge from the children of Israel,
worship none but God, be good to your patient to your parents and
kinsfolk to orphans and the poor, speak good words to all people.
Keep up the prayer and pay the prescribed arms. Then all but a
few of you turned away and paid no heat. We took a pledge from you do
not shed one another's blood or drive one another from your
homelands. You acknowledged it at the time, you can testify to this.
yet here you are killing one another and driving some of your
own people from their homes, helping one another in sin and
aggression against them.
If they come to you as captives, you still pay to set them free,
although you had no right to drive them out.
So do you believe in some parts of the Scripture and not in others?
The punishment for those of you who do this will be nothing but
disgrace in this life. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will be
condemned to the harshest torment. God is not unaware of what you do.
These are the people who by the life of this world at the price of
the hereafter. Their torment will not be lightened, nor will they be
helped. We gave Moses the Scripture and we sent messengers
after him in succession. We gave Jesus son of Mary clear signs and
strengthen them him with the Holy Spirit.
So how is it that whenever a messenger brings you something you
do not like? You become arrogant, calling some imposters and killing
others. They say our hearts are impenetrably wrapped against
whatever you say. But God has rejected them for their disbelief.
They have little faith
when a Scripture came to them, from God confirming that they
already had what they already had. And when they had been praying for
victory against the disbelievers, even when there when there came to
them something they knew to be true. they disbelieved in it. God
rejects those who disbelieve low indeed is the price for which they
have sold their souls by denying the gods sent truth, out of envy,
that God should send his bounty to any of his servants he pleases.
The disbelievers have ended up with wrath upon wrath, and a
humiliating torment awaits them. When it is said to them believe in
God's revelation, they reply, we believe in what has what was
revealed to us, but they do not believe in what came afterwards,
though it is the truth confirming
what they already have. Say, Prophet. Why did you kill God's
prophets in the past if you were true believers, Moses brought you
clear signs but then while he was away, you chose to worship the
Cath you did wrong.
Remember when We took your pledge, making the mountain tower above
you and said
Hold on firmly to what We have given you, and listen to what we
say. They say, we hear and we disobey.
And though their disbelief, and through their disbelief, they were
made to drink the love of the calf deep into their hearts. Say, how
evil are the things your belief commands you to do? If you really
are believers,
say, if the last home with God is to be for you alone, and no one
else, then you should long for death if your claim is true,
but they will never long for death because of what they have stored
up with their own hands. God is fully aware of the evil doers
profit, you are assured to find them clinging to life more eagerly
than any other people, even the polytheists any of them would wish
to be given a life of 1000 years. Though even such a long life would
not save them from the torment. God sees everything they do.
Say Prophet, if anyone is an enemy of Gabriel, who by God's leaves,
God's leave brought down the Quran to your heart, confirming previous
scriptures as a guide and good news for the faithful. If anyone
is an enemy of God, His angels and his messengers of Gabriel and
Michael,
then God is certainly the enemy of such disbelievers. For We have
sent down clear messages to you, and only those who defy God would
refuse to believe them.
How is it that whenever they make a covenant or a pledge, some of
them throw it away. In fact, most of them do not believe.
When God sent a messenger confirming the scriptures, they
already had some of those who had received the Scripture before they
threw the book of God over their shoulder, as if they had no
knowledge, and followed what the Evil Ones had fabricated about the
Kingdom of Solomon instead, not that Solomon himself was a
disbeliever. It was the evil ones who were disbelievers. They taught
people witchcraft, and what was revealed in Babylon to the two
angels highroad and marveled. Yet these two never taught anyone
without first warning him. We are sent only to tempt, do not
disbelieve.
From these two, they learned what can cause discord between men and
wife. Although they harm no one. With it accepted by God's lead.
They learned what harmed them, not what benefited them, knowing full
well that whoever gained this knowledge would lose any share in
the hereafter. evil indeed is a price for which they sold their
souls, if only they knew.
If they had believed and had been mindful of God, the reward from
him would have been far better, if only they knew.
Believers do not say to the Prophet, or Ina, but say on Zorana
and listen to him and are an agonizing torment awaits those who
ignore God's words. Neither those people of the Book who disbelieve
nor the idolaters would like anything good to be sent down to
you from your Lord. But God chooses for His grace whoever He
wills his bounty has no limits. Any Revelation we cause to be
superseded or forgotten? We replace with something better or
similar. Do you Prophet No, not know that God has power over
everything? Do you not know what that control of the heavens and
the earth belongs to him? You believers have no protector or
helper but God? Do you wish to demand of your messenger something
similar to what was demanded of Moses?
Whoever exchange his faith for disbelief has strayed far from the
right path.
Even after the truth has become clear to them. Many of the people
of the Book wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you
have believed out of their selfish envy. Forgive and forbear until
God gives His command. He has power over all things. Keep up
prayer and pay the DIS prescribed alms.
whatever good you store up for yourselves. You will find it with
God. He sees everything you do. They also say no one will enter
paradise unless he is a Jew or a Christian. This is their own
wishful thinking, Prophet, say produce your evidence if you're
telling the truth. In fact, any who direct themselves wholly to
God and do good will have
they're rewarded with their Lord, no fear for them, nor will they
grieve.
Did you say the Christians have no ground whatsoever to stand on. And
the Christians say that Jews have no ground whatsoever to stand on,
though they both read the Scripture.
And those who have knowledge say the same, God will judge between
them on the Day of Resurrection concerning their differences.
Who could be more wicked than those who prohibit the mention of
God's name in his places of worship, and strive to have them
deserted? Such people should not enter them without fear. There is
disgrace for them in this world and painful punishment in the
hereafter.
The East and the West belong to God. wherever you turn, there is
his face. God is all pervading and all knowing
they have asserted God has a child, may he be exalted. No.
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to him. Everything
devoutly obeys His will. He is the Originator of the heavens and the
earth. And when He decrees something, he says only be and it
is.
Those who have not no knowledge also say, if only God would speak
to us, or if only a miraculous sign would come to us. People
before them said the same things. Their hearts are all like, we have
made our signs clear enough to those who have solid faced. We
have sent you Prophet with the truth, bearing good news and
warning, you will not be responsible for the inhabitants of
the Blaze. The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased
with you unless you follow their ways. Say God's guidance is the
only true guidance. If you were to follow their desires after the
knowledge that has come to you. You would find no one to protect
you from God or help you.
Those to whom we have given the Scripture, who follow it is who
follow it as it deserves, are the ones who truly believe in it.
Those who deny its truth will be the losers. Children of Israel,
remember how I bless you and favored you over other people. And
beware of a day when no soul can stand in for another. No
compensation will be accepted from it, nor intercession, be of use to
it, nor will anyone be helped.
When Abraham's Lord tested him with certain commandments, which
he fulfilled, he said, I will make you a leader of people. Abraham
asked, and will you make leaders from my descendants to God
answered, My pledge does not hold for those who do evil.
We made the house a resort and a sanctuary for people saying take
the spot where Abraham stood as your place of prayer. We commend
it, Abraham and Ishmael purify my house for those who walk around
it. Those who stay there and those who bow and prostrate themselves
in worship.
Abraham said, My Lord, make this land secure and provide with
produce those of its people who believe in God and the Last Day,
God said, As for those who disbelieve, I will grant them
enjoyment for a short while, and then subject them to the torment
of the Fire and evil destination.
As Abraham and Ishmael built up the foundations of the house, they
they prayed, our Lord, accept this from us. You are the All Hearing
the All Knowing, our Lord, make us devoted to you. Make our
descendants into a community devoted to you. Show us how to
worship and accept our repentance. For you are the ever relenting the
Most Merciful.
Our Lord, make a messenger of their own rise up from among them,
to recite your revelations to them. Teach them the Scripture and
wisdom and purify them. You are the mighty the wise.
Who but a fool would forsake the religion of Abraham. We have
chosen him in this world and he will rank among the righteous in
the hereafter. His lord said to him, devote yourself to me,
Abraham replied, I devote myself to the Lord of the universe, and
commanded his sons to do the same, as did Jacob, my sons. God has
chosen your religion for you. So make sure you devote yourself to
Him to your dying moment.
Were you Jews there to see when death came upon Jacob. When he
said to his sons, what will you worship after I am gone? They
replied, We shall worship your God
And the God of your fathers, Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, one
single god, we devote ourselves to Him. That community passed away,
what they earned belongs to them, and what you earn belongs to you,
you will not be answerable for their deeds, they say, become Jews
or Christians, and you will be rightly guided, say, Prophet, no,
ours is the religion of Abraham, the upright, who did not worship
any God besides God. So you believers say, we believe in God
and in what was sent down to us, and what was sent down to Abraham,
Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, and what was given to
Moses, Jesus, and all the prophets by their Lord.
We make no distinction between any of them, and we devote ourselves
to Him. So, if they believe like you do, they will be rightly
guided. But if they turn their backs, then they will be
entrenched in opposition. God will protect you from them. He is the
All Hearing the All Knowing, and say believers, our life takes his
color from God, and who gives a better color than God? It is him
we worship.
Say, Prophet to the Jews and Christians, how can you argue with
us about God, when He is our Lord and your Lord?
Our deeds belong to us and yours to you? We devote ourselves
entirely to him. Or are you saying that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac,
Jacob and the tribes were Jews or Christians Prophet asked them who
knows better you are God who could be more wicked than those who hide
a testimony they received from God. God is not unmindful of what
you do that community passed away what they earned belongs to them
and what you earn belongs to you you will not be answerable for
their deeds this ends Joe's number one
