Salam aleikum. This is the Quran, a new translation by M A. S. Abdul
Halim me
this begins just number 18
Surah number 23. The believers
in the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. The
faithful have succeeded. Those who pray humbly, who shun for ability,
who pay the prescribed ohms, who guard their chastity except with
their spouses or their slaves. With these they are not to blame.
But those who seek to go beyond this are exceeding the limits.
Those who are faithful to their trusts and pledges, and who keep
up their prayers are given paradise as their own, their to
remain.
We created man from an essence of clay, then we placed him as a drop
of fluid in a safe place, then we made that drop into a cleaning
form. And we made that form into a lump of flesh. And we made that
lump into bones, and we clothed those bones with flesh and later,
we made him into other forms, glory be to God, the best of
creators,
then you will die. And then on the Day of Resurrection, you will be
raised up again.
We created seven levels above you. We are never unmindful of our
creation.
We sent water down from the sky in do measure and lodged it in the
earth.
We have the power to take it all away if we so wish. with it. We
produced for you gardens of date palms and vines, with many fruits
there for you to eat.
And the tree growing out of Mount Sinai that produces oil and
seasoning for your food. There is a lesson for you in livestock.
We produce milk for you to drink from their bellies. And they have
many other benefits. You eat them and you ride on them as you do in
ships.
We sent Noah to his people. He said, My people serve God for He
is your only God. Will you not heed him.
But the leading disbelievers among his people said he is merely a
mortal like you trying to gain some superiority over you. God
would have sat down angels if he had wished. Besides, we never
heard of anything like this from our forefathers. He is just a
madman. So let's wait and see what happens to him.
Noah said, My Lord helped me. They call me a liar. And so we reveal
to him build the ark under our watchful eye and with our
inspiration, when our command comes in water gushes up out of
the earth. Take pairs of every species on board and your family
except for those on whom the sentence has already been passed.
Do not plead with me for the evildoers, they will be drowned.
And when you and your companions are settled on the ark, say Praise
be to God who delivered us from the wicked people and say,
My Lord, let me land with your blessing. You are the best one to
bring us to land. There are signs and all this. We have always put
people to the test.
Then we raised another generation after them
and sent one of their own as a messenger. serve God for He is
your only God, will you not heed him.
But the leading disbelievers among his people who denied the meeting
in the hereafter to whom we had granted ease and plenty in this
life said
he is just a mortal like you. He eats what you eat, and drinks what
you drink. And you will really be losers if you obey a mortal like
yourselves.
How can he promise you that after you die and become dust and bones,
you will be brought out alive.
What you are promised is very far fetched. There is only the life of
this world. We die. We live but we will never be resurrected.
He is just a man making lies up about God.
We will never believe in him.
The Prophet said
My Lord helped me. They call me a liar. And so God said
soon they will be filled with regret the blast just
delay struck them and we swept them away like scum.
Away with the evildoers. We raised other generations after them. No
community can advance or delay it's time.
And we sent Our Messengers in succession.
Whenever a messenger came to a community, they invariably called
him a liar. So we destroyed them one after the other, and made them
into cautionary tales away with the disbelievers.
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with our signs and clear
authority to Pharaoh and his prominent leaders. But they
responded with arrogance. They were a haughty people,
they said, Are we to believe and to mortals like us, and their
people are our servants. And so they call them both wires. They
became another ruined people.
We gave Moses the Scripture so that they might be rightly guided,
We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign. We gave them
shelter on a peaceful hillside with flowing water,
messengers,
eat good things and do good deeds. I am well aware of what you do.
This is your community, one community, and I am your Lord, be
mindful of me.
But they have split their community into *. Each was
rejoicing in their own
son Mohammed, leave them for a while steeped in their ignorance.
Do they reckon that by giving them wealth and Sons we race to give
them good things? They really have no idea.
Those who stand in all of their Lord, who believe in his messages,
who do not ascribe partners to him, who always give with hearts
that tremble at the thought that they must return to him or the
wrong or the ones who race towards good things, and they will be the
first to get them.
We do not burden any soul with more than it can bear. We have a
record that tells the truth. They will not be wronged.
But the disbelievers hearts are steeped in ignorance of all this.
And there are other things besides this that they do.
When we bring our punishment on those corrupted with wealth, they
will cry for help. Do not cry out today, you will get no help from
us.
Time and time again. My Messages were recited to you. But you
turned on your heels and spent the evening arrogantly making fun of
the Quran.
Have they not contemplated the Word of God?
Has something come to them that did not come to their forefathers?
Do they not recognize their messenger? So why do they reject
him? Why do they say he is possessed? No, he has brought them
the truth and most of them hate it. But if the truth were in
accordance with their desires, the heavens, the earth and everyone in
them would disintegrate.
In fact, we have brought them their reminder and they turn away
from it.
Do you profit ask them for any payment. Your Lourdes is the best
payment. He is the best of providers.
You call them to a straight path. And those who do not believe in
the hereafter turn away from that path. Even if we were to show them
mercy and relieve them of distress, they would blindly
persist in their transgression.
We have already afflicted them, yet they did not submit to their
Lord.
They will not humble themselves until we open a gate to severe
torment for them. Then they will be plunged into utter despair.
It is God who endowed you with hearing, sight and hearts. How
seldom you are grateful.
It is He Who made you multiply on earth. It is to him that you will
be gathered. It is He Who gives life and death. The alteration of
night and day depends on him. Will you not use your minds?
But like others before them, they say what? When we die and turn to
bow dust and bones? Shall we really be resurrected? These are
just ancient fables.
Say prophet who owns the earth and all who live in it. If you know so
much, and they will reply, God say will you not take heed? Say Who is
the Lord of this
Seven Heavens, who is the Lord of the Mighty Throne? And they will
reply, God, say, will you not be mindful? Say, who controls who
holds control of everything in his hand? Who protects while there is
no protection against him? If you know so much?
And they will reply, God,
say, then how can you be so diluted? The fact is, we brought
them the truth, and they're lying. God has never had a child, nor is
there any God beside him. If there were, each God would have taken
this creation aside, and tried to overcome the others. May God be
exalted above what they describe.
He knows what is not seen, as well as what is seen. He is far above
any partner they claim for him. Say, Lord, if you are going to
show me the punishment you have promised them, then Lord, do not
include me among the evil doers, we certainly are able to show you
the punishment we have promised them, Repel evil with good, we are
well aware of what they attribute to us and say, Lord, I take refuge
with you from the coatings of the evil ones. I seek refuge with You,
Lord, so that they may not come near me.
When death comes to one of them, he cries, my Lord, let me return
so as to make amends for the things I neglected. Never.
This will not go beyond his words. A barrier stands behind such
people until the very day they are resurrected. On that day, when the
trumpet is blown, the ties between them will be as nothing. And they
will not ask about each other.
Those whose good deeds weigh heavy will be successful.
But those whose balances light will have lost their souls
forever, and will stay in *. The fire will scorch their faces,
and their lips will be twisted in pain.
Were my messages not recited over and over to you and still you
rejected them?
They will say, Lord, our waywardness overcame us and we
went astray. Lord, take us away from this. And if we go back to
our old ways, then we shall really be evildoers. He will say,
Away with you, in Hugo, do not speak to me. Among my servants,
there were those who said, Lord, we believe, forgive us and have
mercy on us. You are the Most Merciful of all, but you kept on
laughing at them. So intent were you on laughing at them, that it
made you forget my warning.
Today, I have rewarded them for their patience. It is they who
will succeed, he will say
how many years were you on earth? And they will replied,
we stayed a day or a part of a day. But ask those who keep count.
He will sit there he will say
you stayed but a little. If you had only known
did you think we had created you in vain, and that you would not be
brought back to us?
Exalted be God, the true king. There is no god but Him, the Lord
of the glorious throne.
Whoever prays to another god alongside him, a god for which he
has no evidence will face his reckoning with his Lord.
Those who reject the truth will not be will not prosper. Say
Prophet, Lord, forgive and have mercy. You are the Most Merciful
of all.
This is the end of Surah number 23
Surah number 24.
Light
in the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
This is a Surah we have sat down and made obligatory We have sent
down queer revelations in it so that you may take heed.
Strike the adulterous and the adulterer 100 times. Do not let
compassion for them keep you from carrying out God's law.
If you believe in God and the Last Day and ensure that a group of
believers witnessed the punishment the adulterer is only fit to marry
an adulterous or an idolatrous
and the adulterous is only fit to marry an adulterer or an idolatry.
Such behavior is forbidden to believers
As for those who accused chaste women of fornication, and then
fail to provide for witnesses, strike them at times, and reject
their testimony ever afterwards. They are the law breakers, except
for those who repent later, and make amends.
God is Most Forgiving and Merciful.
As for those who accused their own wives of adultery, but have no
other witnesses, let each one four times call God to witness that he
is telling the truth. And the fifth time, call God to reject Him
if He is lying.
Punishment shall be averted from his wife, if she in turn four
times calls God to witness that her husband is lying. And the
fifth time calls God to reject her, if he is telling the truth.
If it were not for God's bounty and mercy towards you, if it were
not that God accepts repentance, and as wise,
it was a group from among you who brought the false accusation. Do
not consider it a bad thing for you people. It was a good thing,
and every one of them will be charged with the sin he has
earned.
He who took the greatest part in it will have a painful torment.
When you heard the lie, why did believing men and women not think
well of their own people and declare
this is obviously a lie?
And why did the accusers not bring four witnesses to it?
If they cannot produce such witnesses, they are the liars in
God's eyes.
If it were not for God's bounty, and mercy towards you in this
world in the next, you would already have been afflicted by
terrible suffering for indulging in such talk.
When you took it up with your tongues, and spoke with your
mouths, things you did not know to be true. You thought it was
trivial, but to God, it was very serious.
When you heard the lie, why did you not say, we should not repeat
this? God forbid it is a monstrous slender.
God warns you never to do anything like this again, if you are true
believers.
God makes His Messages clear to you. God is all knowing, all wise.
a painful torment waits in this world in the next for those who
like in decency to spread among the believers. God knows and you
do not
if it were not for God's bounty and mercy, and the fact that He is
compassionate and merciful.
Believers do not follow in Satan's footsteps. If you do so, he will
urge you to indecency and evil.
If it were not for God's bounty and mercy towards you, not one of
you would ever have attained purity.
God purifies whoever He will. God is all hearing, all seeing
those who have been graced with bounty and plenty should not swear
that they will no longer gift to kinsmen, the poor, those who
emigrate in God's way. Let them pardon and forgive.
Do you not wish that God should forgive you? God is Most Forgiving
and Merciful.
Those who accused honorable but unwary believing women are
rejected by God in this life and the next. a painful torment awaits
them on the day when their own own tongues, hands and feet will
testify against them about what they have done.
On that day, God will pay them they're just do and full. And they
will realize that God is the truth that makes everything clear.
Corrupt women are for corrupt men, and corrupt men are for corrupt
women. good women are for good men and good men are for good women.
The good are innocent of what has been said against them, they will
have forgiveness and a generous provision.
Believers do not enter other people's houses until you have
asked permission to do so and greeted those inside that is best
for you. Perhaps you will bear this in mind. If you find no one
in do not enter unless you have been permitted given permission to
do so. If you are told, Go away then do so. That is more proper
for you. God knows well what you do. You will not be blamed for
entering houses where no one lives and which could provide you with
some useful service.
God knows everything you do openly and everything you conceal profit,
tell believing men to lower their eyes and guard their private
parts.
That is pure for them. God is well aware of everything they do
and tell believing women that they should lower their eyes, guard
their private parts and not display their charms beyond what
it is what is acceptable to reveal. They should draw their
coverings over their neck lines and not reveal their charms except
to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands, fathers, their
sons, their husbands sons, their brothers, their brothers sons,
their sisters sons, their womenfolk their slave, such men as
attend them who have no desire, or children who are not yet aware of
women's nakedness. They should not stamp their feet so as to draw
attention to any hidden charms,
believers, all of you turn to God so that you may prosper.
Marry off the single among you, and those of your male and female
slaves who are fit for marriage. If they are poor, God will provide
for them from His bounty. God's bounty is infinite and He is all
knowing.
Those who are unable to marry should keep should keep chased
until God gives them enough out of His Bounty.
If any of your slaves wish to pay for their freedom, make a contract
with them accordingly, if you know they have good in them and give
them some of the wealth God has given you
do not force your slave girls into prostitution, when they themselves
wish to remain honorable in your quest for the short term gains of
this world, although if they are forced, God will be forgiving and
merciful to them.
We have sent verses down to you people clarifying the right path,
examples of those who passed away before you and teaching for those
who are mindful of God.
God is the light of the heavens and earth. His light is like this.
There is a niche, and in it a lamp.
The lamp inside a glass, a glass like a glittering star, fueled
from a blessed olive tree from neither east nor West, whose oil
almost gives light even when no fire touches it. Light upon light.
God guides whoever He will take His light. God draws such
comparisons for people. God has full knowledge of everything
shining out and houses of worship.
God knew that they would be raised high and his name be remembered in
them, with men in them celebrating his glory, morning and evening.
Men who are not distracted, either by commerce or profit, from
remembering God, keeping up the prayer and paying the prescribed
alms. Fearing a day when hearts and eyes will turn over. God will
reward such people according to the best of their actions, and he
will give them more of His Bounty.
God provides limitlessly for anyone he will.
But the deeds of disbelievers are like a mirage in the desert. The
thirsty person thinks there will be water, but when he gets there
he finds it as nothing. There he finds only God who pays him his
account in full. God is swift in reckoning,
or like shadows in a deep sea, covered by waves upon waves, with
clouds above, layer upon layer of darkness. If he holds out his
hand, he is scarcely able to see it.
The one to whom God gives no light has no light at all.
Profit. Do you not see that all those who are in the heavens and
earth Praise God. As to the birds with wings outstretched. Each
knows its own way of prayer and glorification.
God has full knowledge of what they do. Control of the heavens
and earth belongs to God, and to God is the final return.
Do you not see that God drives the clouds then gathers them together
and piles them up until you see rain pour from their midst.
He sends hail down from such mountains in the sky, pouring it
on whoever he wishes, and diverting it from whoever he
wishes. This flash of its lightning almost * his sight
away.
God alternates night and day.
There truly is a lesson in all this for those who have eyes to
see. And God created each animal out of its own fluid. Some of them
crawl of their own bellies.
Some walk on two legs and someone for God creates whatever
He will.
God has power over everything.
We have sent verses that clarify the right path.
God guides whoever He will to a straight path.
They say, We believe in God and the messenger, we obey. But then
some of them turn away. These people are not true believers. And
when they are summoned to God and His Messenger, in order for them
to judge between them, some of them turn away. If they were
claiming their right, they would come willingly to the Prophet. Do
they have sickness in their hearts? Are they full of doubts?
Do they fear that God and His Messenger might deal with them
unjustly? No, it is they who are the unjust ones. When the true
believers are summoned to God, and His Messenger in order for them to
judge between them, they say,
we hear and we obey.
These are the ones who will prosper.
Whoever obeys God and His Messenger, stands in awe of God
and keeps his duty to Him will be triumphant. The others solemnly
swear by God that if you Prophet commanded them, they would march
out, tell them Do not swear. It is reasonable obedience that is
required. And God is aware of everything you do, say, obey God,
obey the messenger. If you turn away, know that he is responsible
for the duty placed upon him and you are responsible for the duty
placed upon you. If you obey Him, you will be rightly guided. But
the messengers duty is only to deliver the message clearly.
God has made a promise to those among you who believe and do good
deeds. He will make them successors to the land as he did
those who came before them. He will establish the religion he has
chosen for them. He will grant them security to replace their
fear.
They will worship me and not join anything with me. Those who are
defiant after that will be the rebels. People. Keep up the
prayer, pay the prescribed arms and obey the messenger so that you
may be given mercy.
Do not think prophet that the disbelievers can escape god on
earth. The fire will be their final home, and evil and
believers, your slaves and any who have not yet reached puberty
should ask your permission to come in at three times of day.
Before the dawn prayer when you lay your garments aside, in the
midday heat, and after the evening prayer. These are your three times
for privacy. At other times, there is no blame on you or them if you
move around each other freely.
In this way, God makes messages clear. God is all knowing, all
wise.
When your children reach puberty, they should always ask your
permission to enter like their elders do.
This is how God makes His Messages clear to you. God is all knowing.
All Wise.
No blame will be attached to elderly women who no longer have
any desire if they take off their outer garments without flaunting
their charms, but it is preferable for them not to do this. God is
all hearing. All Seeing.
No blame will be attached to the blind, the lame, the sick.
Whether you eat in your own houses or those of your father's, your
mothers, your brothers, your sisters, your paternal uncles,
your paternal aunts, your maternal uncles, your maternal aunts,
houses you have the keys for or any of your friend's houses you
will not be blamed. You will not be blamed whether you eat in
company or separately.
When you enter any house, greet one another with a greeting of
blessing and goodness, as enjoined by God. This is how God makes His
message is clear to you so that you may understand.
The true believers are those who believe in God and His messenger
who, when they are gathered with him on a communal matter, do not
depart until they have been until they have asked his permission.
Those who ask your permission Prophet are the ones who truly
believe in God and His Messenger when they asked her permission to
attend to their private fair affairs. Allow her allow whoever
you see fit, and ask God to forgive them. God is Most
Forgiving and Merciful.
People do not regard the messenger as summons to you as being like
one of us.
summoning another, God is well aware of those of you who steal
away surreptitiously, and those who go against his order should be
aware less to trial a flick them, or they receive a painful torment.
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. He knows
what state you are in. On the day, when all are returned to Him, He
will tell them everything they have done. God has full knowledge
of everything.
This is the end of Surah number 24
Surah number 25. The differentiator
in the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
Exalted is He Who has sent down sent the differentiator down to
his servant, so that he may give warning to all people. It is He
who has control over the heavens and earth and has no offspring. No
one shares control with him, and who created all things and made
them to an exact measure.
Yet the disbelievers take us there God's things beneath them beneath
him that create nothing and are themselves created that can
neither harm nor help themselves and have no control over death,
life or resurrection.
The disbelievers say
This can only be a lie he has forged with the help of others.
They themselves have done great wrong and told lies and they say
it is just ancient fables which he has had written down. They are
dictated to him morning and evening. Say it was sent down by
him who knows the secrets of the heavens and earth. He is
Forgiving, All Merciful. They also say what sort of messenger is
this? He eats food and walks about in the marketplaces. Why has no
angel been sent down to help him with his warnings? Why has he not
been given treasure or a garden to supply his food and the evildoers
say, the man you follow is simply under a spell. See what they think
you are like they have gone astray and cannot find the right way.
Exalted is He who can if he wishes give you better things than these
gardens graced with flowing streams and palaces to
it is actually the coming of the hour that they reject. We have
prepared a blazing fire for those who reject the hour.
When it sees them from a distance, they will hear it raging and
roaring.
And when they are hurled into a narrow part of it, chained
together, they will cry out for death.
Do not cry out this day for one death. But for many say which is
better. This are the lasting garden that those who are mindful
of God have been promised as their reward and journey's end.
There they will find everything they wish for and there they will
stay. Profit. This is a binding promise from your Lord.
On the day he gathers them all together with those they worship
beside him, he will say was it you false gods who let these creatures
of mine astray? Or did they stray from the path themselves?
They will say, may you be exalted, we ourselves would never take
masters other than you but you granted them in their forefathers
pleasures in this life until they forgot your reminder and were
ruined. God will say
now your gods have to sound denounced what you say is lies.
You cannot avoid the torment you will not get any help.
If any of you commit such evil we shall make him taste agonizing
torment.
No messenger have we sent before you Mohammed who did not eat food
and walk out in the marketplaces.
But we have made some of you a means of testing others will you
stand fast your Lord is all seeing
this is the end of Jos number 18.
