Salam aleikum. This is the Quran, a new translation by M A. S. Abdul
Halim me
this begins just number 20.
The only answer his people gave was to say, expel lots followers
from your town.
These men mean to stay chaste. We saved him and his family except
for his wife. We made her stay behind, and we brought down rain,
and we brought rain down on them. How dreadful that rain was. For
those who had been warned,
say Prophet, praise be to God and peace on the servants he has
chosen. Who is better God, or those they set up as partners with
him? Who created the heavens and earth? Who sends down water from
the sky for you? With which we cause gardens of light to grow,
gardens of delight to grow? You have no power to make the trees
grow in them? Is it another God beside God?
No, but they are people who take others to be equal with God. Who
is it that made the earth a stable place to live? Who made rivers
flow through it?
Who set immovable mountains on it and created a barrier between the
fresh and saltwater? Is it another God beside God? No. But most of
them do not know. Who is it that answers to distressed when they
call upon him? Who removes their suffering? Who makes you
successors in the earth? Is it another God beside God?
Little notice you take who is it that guides you through the
darkness on land and sea?
Who sends the winds as heralds of good news before His mercy?
Is it another God beside God?
God is far above the partners they put beside him.
Who is it that originates creation and reproduces it? Who is it that
gives you provision from the heavens and earth?
Is it another God besides God? Say, show me your evidence then,
if what you say is true, say
no one in the heavens or on earth knows the Unseen except God.
They do not know when they will be raised from the dead. Their
knowledge cannot comprehend the hereafter. They are in doubt about
it. They are blind to it.
So the disbelievers say
what?
When we and our forefathers have to become dust? Shall we be
brought back to life again? We have heard such promises before
and so did our forefathers. These are just ancient fables.
Prophet, say, travel through the earth and see how the evildoers
ended up. Prophet, do not grieve over them. Do not be distressed by
their schemes. They also say
When will this promise be fulfilled? If what you say is
true? Say maybe some of what you seek to hasten is near at hand.
Your Lord is bountiful to people. Though most of them are
ungrateful.
He knows everything their hearts conceal, and to everything they
reveal.
There is nothing hidden in the heavens or on earth, that is not
in a clear record.
Truly,
this Quran explains to the children of Israel, most of what
they differ about and it is guidance and grace for those who
believe. Truly, your Lord will decide between them in his
judgment. He is the Almighty, the arm knowing. So Prophet, put your
trust in God. You are on the path of clear truth. You cannot make
the dead here. You cannot make the Deaf listen to your call. When
they turn their backs and leave.
You cannot guide the blind out of their air air.
You cannot make anyone hear you except those who believe in our
signs and submit to us.
When the verdict is given against them, we shall bring a creature
out of the earth which will speak to them. People had no faith in
our revelations. The day will come when we gather from every
community a crowd of those who disbelieved in Our signs.
And they will be led in separate groups onto
Till when they come before Him, He will say,
Did you deny my messages without even taking them in?
Or what were you doing? The verdict will be given against them
because of their wrongdoing. They will not speak.
Did they not see that we gave them the night for rest and the day for
light.
There truly are signs in this. For those who believe.
On the day of the trumpet sounds, everyone in heaven and on earth
will be terrified, except such as God wills
and all will come to him in in utter humility.
You will see the mountains and think they are firmly fixed, but
they will float away like clouds.
This is the handiwork of God who has perfected all things. He is
fully aware of what you do.
Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with something
better, and be secure from the terror of that day.
But whoever comes with evil deeds will be cast face downwards into
the fire.
Are you rewarded for anything except what you have done? Say
prophet.
What I am commanded to do is to serve the sustainer of this town,
which he has made inviolable, everything belongs to him. I am
commanded to be one of those devoted to him. I am commanded to
recite the Quran.
Whoever chooses to follow the right path does so for his own
good. Say to whoever deviates from it. I am only here to warm
say, Praise belongs to God. He will show you his signs so that
you will recognize them. Your Lord is never unmindful of what you all
do.
This is the end of Surah number 27.
Surah number 28. The story
in the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy,
thought scene meme. These are the verses of the scripture that makes
things clear.
We recount to you profit part of the story of Moses and Pharaoh
setting out the truth for people who believe.
Pharaoh made himself high and mighty in the land, and divided
the people into different groups. One group he oppressed
slaughtering their sons and sparing their women. He was one of
those who spread corruption.
But we wish to favor favor those who are oppressed in the land, to
make them leaders, the ones to survive, to establish them in the
land. And Thoreau and through them show Pharaoh how on earth and
their armies the very thing they feared.
We inspired Moses, his mother saying, Suckle him. And then when
you fear for his safety, put him in the river.
Do not be afraid and do not grieve. For we shall return him to
you and make him a messenger.
Pharaoh's household picked him up later to become an enemy and a
source of grief for them.
Pharaoh Hamid and their armies were wrongdoers.
And Pharaohs wife said, Here is a joy to behold for me and for you.
Do not kill him.
He may be of use to us, or we may adopt him as a son.
They did not realize what they were doing.
The next day, Moses his mother felt a void in her heart. If we
had not strengthened it, to make her one of those who believe,
believe she would have revealed everything about him. And she said
to his sister Follow him. So she watched him from a distance
without them knowing.
We had ordained that he would refuse to feed from from Wet
nurses. His sister approached them and said, Shall I tell you about a
household which could bring him up for you and take good care of him?
We restored him to his mother in this way
so that she might be comforted, not grieve, and know that God's
promise is true.
Though most people do not understand.
When Moses reached full maturity in manhood, we gave him wisdom and
knowledge. This is how we reward those who do good.
He entered the city, unnoticed
stood by its people and found two men fighting
one from his own people, the other an enemy.
The one from his own people cried out to him for help against the
enemy.
Moses struck him with his fist and killed him.
He said, This must be Satan's work. Clearly he is a misleading
enemy. He said, Lord, I have wronged myself. Forgive me. So he
forgave him. He is truly the most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
He said, My Lord because of the blessings you have bestowed upon
me, I shall never support those who do evil.
Next morning, he was walking in the city, fearful and vigilant,
when suddenly the man he had helped the day before cried out to
him for help. Moses said,
You are clearly a troublemaker.
As he was about to attack the man who was an enemy to both of them.
The man said,
Moses, are you going to kill me as you kill that person yesterday?
You clearly want to be a tyrant in the land.
You do not intend to put things right.
Then a man came running from the furthest part of the city and
said,
Moses, the authorities are talking about killing you. So leave. This
is my sincere advice. So Moses left the city fearful and weary
and prayed. My Lord saved me from people who do wrong. And he made
his way towards Midian. He was saying, May my lord guide me to
the right way. When he arrived at Midians waters, he found a group
of men watering their flocks,
and beside them to woman keeping their flocks back. So he said,
What is the matter with you too? They said, We cannot water our
flocks, until the shepherds take their sheep away. Our father is a
very old man.
He watered their flocks for them, withdrew into the shade and
prayed.
My Lord, I am in dire need of whatever good thing you may send
me. And then one of the two women approached him walking shyly and
said, My Father is asking for you. He wants to reward you for
watering our flocks for us.
When Moses came to him, and told him his story, the old man said,
Do not be afraid. You are safe now from people who do wrong.
One of the women said,
Father, hire him.
A strong, trustworthy man is the best to hire. The father said,
I would like to marry you to one of these daughters of mine, on
condition that you serve me for eight years. If you complete 10 It
will be of your own freewill. I do not intend to make things
difficult for you, God willing, you will find I am a fair man.
Moses said, let that be the agreement between us. whichever of
the two terms I fulfill, that there may be no injustice to me.
God is witness to what we say.
Once Moses had fulfilled the term and was traveling with his family,
he caught sight of a fire on the side of the mountain and said to
his family, wait, I have seen a fire. I will bring you news from
there were a burning stick for you to warn yourselves. But when he
reached it, a voice called out to him from the right hand side of
the valley. From a tree on the blessed ground.
Moses, I am God the Lord of the Worlds.
Throw down your staff.
When he saw his staff moving like a snake, he fled in fear and would
not return.
Again, he was called Moses drawn here. Do not be afraid for you are
one of those who are safe. Put your hand inside your cloak and it
will come out white but unharmed. Hold your arm close to your side
free from all fear.
These shall be two signs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his chiefs.
They are truly wicked people.
Moses said, My Lord, I killed one of their men. And I fear that they
may kill me. My brother Aaron is more eloquent than I sent him with
me to help me and confirm my words.
I fear they may call me a liar.
God said, We shall strengthen you through your brother. We shall
give you both power so that they cannot touch you.
With our signs, you and those who follow you will triumph.
But when Moses came to them with Our Clear Signs, they said,
these are mere conjuring tricks. We never heard this from our
forefathers.
Moses said,
My Lord knows best who comes with guidance from Him, and who will
have the final home. wrongdoers will never succeed.
Pharaoh said, counselors, you have no other God that I know of except
me. him on like me a fire to bake clay bricks, then build me a tall
building so that I may climb up to Moses his God. I am convinced that
he is lying.
Pharaoh and his armies behaved arrogantly in the land with no
right. They thought that they would not be brought back to us.
So he seized him in his armies and threw them into the sea. See what
became of the wrongdoers.
We made them leaders calling others only to the fire on their
day of resurrection, they will not be helped.
We made our rejection pursue them in this world. And on the Day of
Resurrection, they will be among the despised
after we had destroyed the earlier generations, we gave Moses the
Scripture to provide insight, guidance and mercy for people so
that they might take heed
you Muhammad were not present on the western side of the mountain.
When we gave our command to Moses, you are not there. We have brought
into being many generations who lived long lives. You did not live
among the people of Midian. or recite our revelation to them.
We have always sent messengers to people, nor were you present on
the side of Mount Sinai when we called out to Moses.
But you too, have been sent as an act of grace from your Lord, to
give warning to people to whom no warner has come before. So that
they may take heed and you may not and may not say if a disaster
should befall them as a result of what they have done with their own
hands. Lord, if only you had sent us a messenger, we might have
followed your message and become believers.
Even now that our truth has come to them, they say
Why has he not been given signs like those given to Moses?
Did they not also deny the truth that was given to Moses before
they say two kinds of sorcery helping each other. And we receive
we refuse to accept either of them.
Say Mohammed, then produce a book from God that gives better
guidance than these two and I will follow it. If you are telling the
truth.
If they do not respond to you, you will know that they follow only
their desires, who is further astray than the one who follows
his own desires, with no guidance from God.
Truly, God does not guide those who do wrong.
We have caused our word to come to them time after time, so that they
may be mindful those to whom We gave the Scripture before
believing it. And when it is recited to them say we believe
that it is the truth from our Lord.
Before it came, we had devoted ourselves to Him. They will be
given their rewards twice over because they are steadfast, Repel
evil with good gift to others out of what We have given to them
given them and turn away whenever they hear frivolous talk, saying
we have our deeds and you have yours. Peace be with you. We do
not seek the company of foolish people.
You profit cannot guide everyone you love to the truth. It is God
who guides whoever He will.
He knows best those who will follow guidance. They say if we
were to follow guidance with you, we would be swept from our land.
Have we not established for them a secure sanctuary, where every kind
of produce is brought as a provision from us.
But most of them do not comprehend.
We have destroyed many a community that once reveled in its wanton
wealth and easy living. Since then, their dwelling places have
barely been inhabited.
We are the only air
your Lord would never destroy towns without first raising a
messenger in their midst to recite our messages to them,
nor would we destroy towns unless their inhabitants were evildoers.
whatever things you have been given for the life of this world,
are merely temporary gratification and vanity,
that which is with God is better and more lasting. Will you not use
your reason?
Can the person who will see the fulfillment of the good promise we
gave him be compared to someone we have given some enjoyment for this
worldly life, but who on the day of resurrection will be summoned?
The day will come when God will call them saying where now are
those you allege are my partners, and those ringleaders against whom
the verdict will be passed will be will say,
Our Lord,
these are the ones we cause to deviate.
We cause them to deviate as we ourselves deviated.
But now, we disowned them before you, they did not really serve us.
It will be it will then be said to them. Now call those you
worshipped as partners. And they will call them but received no
answer.
They will see the suffering and wish they had followed guidance.
On that day, he will call them saying How did you respond to my
messengers?
All arguments will seem obscure to them on that day, they will not be
able to consult one another. Yet anyone who has repented, believed
and done good deeds can hope to find himself among the successful.
Your Lord creates what he pleases and chooses those he will. They
have no choice. So glory be to God. And may He be exalted above
the partners they ascribe to him.
Your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal. He
is God. There is no god but him. All praise belongs to him in this
world and the next. His is the judgment and to Him you shall be
returned.
Say Prophet, just think if God were to cast perpetual night over
you, until the Day of Resurrection, what God other than
he could bring you to light.
Do you not listen, say, Just think, if God were to cast
perpetual day over you, until the Day of Resurrection, what God
other than he could give you night in which to rest?
Do you not see in His mercy He has given you night and day so that
you may rest and seek His bounty and be grateful. The day will come
when he will call out to them saying
where are the partners you claimed for me?
We shall call a witness from every community and say,
produce your evidence and then you and then they will know that truth
belongs to God alone. The gods they invented will forsake them.
Cora was one of Moses's people, but he oppressed them.
We had given him such treasures that even their keys would have
weighed down a whole company of strong men.
His people said to him, do not gloat for God does not like people
who gloat.
Seek the life to come by means of what God has granted you. But do
not neglect your rightful share in this world.
Do good to others, as God has done good to you.
Do not seek to spread corruption in the land. For God does not love
those who do this. But he answered.
This wealth was given to me on account of the knowledge I
possess.
Did he not know that God had destroyed many generations before
him who had greater power than him and built up greater wealth?
The guilty will not be questioned about their sins. He went out
among his people in all his pomp
and though, and those whose aim was the life of this world said,
If only we had been given something like that what karoun
has been given. He really is a fortunate man.
But those who are knowledge
who were given knowledge said, Alas for you. God's reward is
better for those who believe and do good deeds.
Only those who are steadfast will attain this.
We cause the earth to swallow him in his home. He had no army to
help him against God, nor could he defend himself.
The next day, those who had the day before, wish to be in his
place exclaimed, alas, for you God alone. It is God alone, who gives
what he will, abundantly or sparingly, to whichever he will
have his creatures.
If God had not been gracious to us, he would have caused the earth
to swallow us to.
Alas, Indeed, those who deny the truth will never prosper.
We grant the home in the hereafter to those who do not seek
superiority on Earth, or spread corruption.
The Happy ending is awarded to those who are mindful of God.
Whoever comes before God, with a good deed will receive a better
reward. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be punished only for
what he does.
He who has made the Quran binding on you Prophet, will bring you
back home. So say, My Lord knows best who has brought true
guidance, and who is blatantly astray.
You yourself could not have expected the scripture to be sent
to you. It came only as a mercy from your Lord. So give no help to
the disbelievers. Do not let them turn you away from God's
revelation after they have been revealed to you.
Call people to your LORD. Never become one of those who ascribe
partners to God. Do not call out to any other God beside God. For
there is no god but him.
Everything will perish except his face. His is the judgment and to
him, You shall all be brought back.
This is the end of Surah number 28.
Surah number 29.
The spider
in the name of God, the Lord have mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
Alif Lam Meem.
Do people think they will be left alone after saying we believe
without being put to the test?
We tested those who went before them. God will certainly mark out
which ones are truthful and which are lying.
Do the evildoers think they can escape us how ill they judge.
But as for those who strive for their meeting with God, God's
appointed time is bound to come. He is the All Hearing the All
Knowing.
Those who exert themselves do so for their own benefit. God does
not need His creatures.
We shall certainly blot out the misdeeds of those who believe and
do good deeds
and we shall reward them according to the best of their actions. We
have commanded people to be good to their parents, but do not obey
them if they strive to make you serve beside me. Anything of which
you have no knowledge, you will all return to Me and I shall
inform you of what you have done. We shall be sure to admit those
who believe and do good deeds to the ranks of the righteous.
There are some people who say we believe in God, but when they
suffer for his cause, they think that human persecution is as
severe as God's torment.
Yet if any help comes to you profit from your Lord, they will
say
we have always been with you.
Does God not know best what is in everyone's hearts?
God will be sure to mark outs mark out which ones are the believers
and which the hypocrites
those who disbelieve say to the believers
follow our path, and we shall bear the consequences for your sins.
Yet they will not do so they are liars.
They will bear their own burdens and others besides, they will be
questioned about their false assertions on the Day of
Resurrection.
We sent Noah out to his people. He stayed among them for 50 Short of
1000
but when the flood overwhelmed them, they were still doing evil
We saved him and those with him on the ark. We made this a sign for
all people.
We also sent Abraham, he said to his people, serve God and be
mindful of him. That is better for you. If only you knew
what you worship instead of God are mere idols. What you invent is
nothing but falsehood. Those you serve instead of God have no power
to give you provisions. So seek provisions from God, serve him and
give him thanks,
you will all be returned to him.
If you say this is a lie, be warned that other communities
before you said the same, the messengers only duty is to give
clear warning.
Do they not see that God brings life into being and reproduces it?
Truly this is easy for God, say, travel throughout the earth and
see how he brings life into being and he will bring the next life
into being.
God has power over all things. He punishes whoever He will, and
shows mercy to whoever He will, you will all be returned to Him.
You cannot escape him on Earth, or in the heavens, you will have no
one to protect or help you besides God.
Those who deny God's revelation, or end their meeting with him have
no hope of receiving my grace, they will have a grievious
torment.
The only answer Abraham's people gave was kill him or burn him. But
God saved him from the fire. There truly are signs in this for people
who believe.
Abraham said to them, you have chosen idols instead of God. But
Your love for them will only last for the present life. On the Day
of Resurrection, you will disown and reject one another.
* will be your home and no one will help you a
lot believed him and said,
I will flee to my Lord. He is the Almighty, the all wise. We gave
Isaac and Jacob to Abraham and placed prophethood and Scripture
among his offspring.
We gave him his rewards in this world and in the life to come he
will be among the righteous.
And we sent lot he said to his people,
you practice outrageous acts that no people before you have ever
committed. How can you lust after men? Way lay travelers and commit
evil in your gatherings? The only answer his people gave was bring
God's punishment down on us if what you say is true.
So he prayed.
My Lord helped me against these people who spread corruption.
When our messengers brought the good news of the birth of a son to
Abraham, they told him
we are about to destroy the people of that town.
They are wrongdoers, Abraham said, but lot lives there. They know
they answered, We know who lives there better than you do. We shall
save him in his household, except for his wife. She will be one of
those who stay behind. When our messengers came to lot. He was
troubled and distressed on their account. They said, have no fear
or grief. We shall certainly save you and your household except for
your wife. She will be one of those who stay behind.
And we shall bring down a punishment from heaven on the
people of this town because they violate God's order.
We left some of the town there as a clear sign for those who use
their reason.
To the people of Midian. We sent their Brother Chu ape, he said, My
people serve God and think ahead to the last day Do not commit evil
and spread corruption in the land.
They rejected him and so the earthquake overtook them.
When morning came they were lying dead in their homes.
Remember, the tribes have odd and thorough mood.
Their history is made clear to you by what is left of their dwelling
places.
Satan made their foul deeds seem alluring to them and bore them
them from the right way, though they were capable of seeing.
Remember Qarun and Pharaoh and Herman. Moses brought them clear
signs, but they behaved arrogantly on Earth.
They could not escape us, and we punished each one of them for
their sins.
Some we struck with a violent storm, some were overcome by a
sudden blast. Some we made the earth swallow and some We drowned.
It was not God who wronged them, they wrong themselves.
Those who take protectors other than God can be compared to
spiders building themselves houses.
The spiders is the frailest of all houses. If only they could
understand
God knows what things they call upon beside him.
He is the Mighty of the wise
such are the comparisons we draw for people though only the wise
can grasp them. God has created the heavens and earth for a true
purpose.
There truly is a sign in this for those who believe
profit recite what has been revealed to you of the Scripture.
Keep up the prayer prayer restraints outrageous and
unacceptable behavior remember remembering God is greater God
knows everything you are doing.
