Salam aleikum. This is the Quran, a new translation by m a s Abdul
Halim me
this begins Jos number eight.
You even if we sent the angels down to them and the dead spoke to
them, and we gathered all things right in front of them, they still
would not believe unless God so willed, but most of them are
ignorant of this. In the same way we assigned to each prophet and
enemy, evil humans and evil Qian, they suggest alluring words to one
another in order to deceive. If it had been your Lord's will Prophet,
they would not have done this, leave them to their inventions, so
that the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter may
inclined toward the deceit, be pleased with it and so perpetrate
whatever they perpetrate.
Say, shall I seek any judge other than God, when it is He Who has
sent down for you people, the Scripture clearly explained, those
to whom We gave the Scripture know that this Quran is revealed by
your LORD with the truth. So do not be one of those who doubt the
word of your Lord is complete and its truth and justice. No one can
change his words. He is the All Hearing the All Knowing. If you
obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you away from the
path of God. They follow nothing but speculation they're merely
guessing. Your Lord knows best who strays from his path and who is
rightly guided. So believers, you may eat the meat of any animal
over which he God's name has been pronounced, if you believe in His
revelations, why should you not eat such meat when God has already
fully explained what he has forbidden you except when forced
by hunger, but many lead others astray by their desires without
any true knowledge. Your Lord knows best who oversteps the
limit. Avoid committing sin, whether openly or in secret, for
those who commit sin will be repaid for what they do. And do
not eat any meat over which God's name has not been pronounced for
that is breaking the law.
The evil ones incite their followers to argue with you. If
you listen to them, you too will become idolaters is a dead person
brought back to life by us and given light with which to walk
among people comparable to someone trapped in deep darkness you
cannot escape. In this way the evil deeds of the disbelievers are
made to seem alluring to them. And so we have put chief evildoers in
every city to perpetrate their schemes there. But they scheme
only against themselves without realizing it. When a revelation is
brought before them, they say, We shall not believe unless we
ourselves are given a revelation as God's messengers were, but God
knows best where to place his messages. Humiliation before God
and severe torment will befall the evildoers for their scheming. When
he wishes to lead them astray. He closes and constricts their
* as if they were climbing up to the skies. That is how God
makes the foulness of those who do not believe rebound against them.
Profit, this is the path of your Lord made perfectly straight. We
have explained our revelations to those who take heat, they shall
have the home of peace with the Lord and He will take care of them
as a reward for their deeds. On the day he gathers everyone
together saying, company of Jin, you have seduced a great many
humans, their adherence among mankind will say, Lord, we have
profited from one another. But now we have reached the point in time
you decreed for us, He will say your home is the fire and there
you shall remain, unless God wills otherwise. Prophet your Lord is
all wise all knowing. In this way we make some evildoers have power
over others to their misdeeds. Company of jinn and mankind, then
messengers not come from among you to recite my revelations to you
and warn that you would meet this day. They will say we testify
against ourselves. The life of this world seduced them, but they
will testify against themselves that they rejected the truth. So
it is your Lord would not destroy towns for their wrongdoing, if
they had not been warned. Everyone is assigned a rank according to
their deeds. Your Lord is not unaware of anything they do. Your
Lord is self sufficient and full of mercy. If he pleased, he could
remove you and put others in your place, just as he produced you
from the offspring of other people. What you are promised is
sure to come and you cannot escape. Prophet say my people, you
carry on as you are and so will lie. You will come to realize who
will have a happy homecoming in the Hereafter, the evildoers will
not prosper.
They apportion to God to share the produce and the livestock he
created saying this is for God. So they claim and this is for idols.
Their idols share does not reach God but God's shared does reach
their idols, how badly they judge them.
In the same way their idols have induced many of the pagans to kill
their own children, bringing them ruin and confusion in their fate.
If God had willed otherwise they would not have done this so
Prophet leave them to their own devices. They also say these
Cattle and Crops are reserved and only those we allow may eat them,
so they claim there are some animals they exempt from labor and
some over which they do not pronounce God's name during
slaughter, falsely attributing these regulations to him. He will
repay them for the falsehoods they invent.
They also say the contents of these animals wombs will be
reserved solely for our men and forbidden to our women. Though if
the offspring is stillborn, they may have his share of it. He will
punish them for what they attribute to Him. He is decisive,
all aware, loss indeed are those who kill their own children out of
folly, with no basis in knowledge forbidding what God has provided
for them, fabricating lies against him. They have gone far astray and
has heeded no guidance. It is he who produces both trellis and and
trellis gardens, date palms, plants with different fruits, the
olives, the pomegranate, alike and not alike. So when they bear
fruit, eat some of it, paying what is due on the day of harvest, but
do not be wasteful. God does not like wasteful people. He gave you
livestock as beasts of burden and as food. So eat what God has
provided for you and do not follow in Satan's footsteps. He is your
sworn enemy. God gave you eight animals in four pairs, a pair of
sheep and a pair of goats. Ask them prophet has he forbidden the
two males, the two females or the young in the wombs of the two
females tell me based on knowledge if you're telling the truth, and a
pair of camels and a pair of cattle, ask them prophet has he
forbidden the two males the two females or the young in the wombs
of the two females were you present when God gave you these
commands? So who is more wicked than he who fabricates lies
against God, with no basis in knowledge in order to lead people
astray? God does not guide the evildoers. Prophet say in all that
has been revealed to me I find nothing forbidden for people to
eat except for carrion, flowing blood, pig's meat, it is loathsome
or a sinful offering over which any name other than God's has been
invoked. But if someone is forced by hunger rather than desire or
excess, then your Lord is Most Forgiving and most Merciful.
We forbade for the Jews, every animal with claws, and the fat of
cattle and sheep, except what is on their backs and in their
intestines, or that which sticks to their bones. This is how we
penalize them for their disobedience. We are true to our
word. If they the disbelievers accuse you prophet of lying. Say
your Lord has all encompassing mercy, but his punishment cannot
be diverted from the evildoers. The idolaters will say if God had
willed He would not have ascribed partners to him, nor would our
fathers or have declared anything forbidden. In the same way those
before them continually denied the truth until they tasted our
punishment. Say, Have you any knowledge that you can show us?
You follow only supposition and tell only lies, say the conclusive
argument belongs to God alone. Had he so willed, He would have guided
you all.
Say, bring your witnesses to testify that God has forbidden all
this, if they do testify, do not bear witness with them. Do not
follow the whims of those who have denied revelation, who do not
believe in the hereafter. And who set up equals with their Lord,
say, Come, I will tell you what your Lord has really forbidden
you. Do not ascribe anything as a partner to him. Be good to your
parents. Do not kill your children fearing poverty, we will provide
for you and for them stay well away from committing obscenities,
whether openly or in secret. Do not take life which God has made
sacred except by right. This is what He commands you to do, so
that you may use your reason. Stay well away from the property of
orphans except with the best intentions until they come of age,
give full measure and wait according to justice. We do not
burden any soul with more than I can bear. When you speak be just
even if it concerns a relative. Keep any promises you make in
God's name. This is what He commands you to do. So that you
may take heed. This is my path leading straight. So follow it and
do not follow other ways. They will lead you away from it. This
is what He commands you to do so that you may refrain from
wrongdoing. Once again, we gave Moses the Scripture perfecting our
favorite for those who do good, explaining everything clearly as
guidance and mercy so that they might be leaving the meeting with
their Lord. This too is a blessed scripture which We have sent down.
Follow it and be conscious of your Lord so that you may receive
mercy. Lest you say scriptures
Were only sent down to two communities before us. We were not
aware of what they studied. Or if only the Scripture had been sent
down to us, we would have been better guided than them. Now clear
evidence, guidance and mercy have come to you from your Lord, who
could be more wrong than someone who rejects God's revelations and
turns away from them. We shall repay those who turn away with a
painful punishment. Are they waiting for the very angels to
come to them, or your lord himself or some of his sides, but on the
day some of your Lord signs come? No so will profit from faith if
they had none before, or has not already earned some good through
its faith. Say wait if you wish, we too are waiting.
As for those who have divided their religion and broken up into
factions, has nothing to do with them profit, their case rests with
God. In time he will tell them about their deeds. Whoever has
done a good deed will have it 10 times to his credit, but whoever
has done a bad deed will be repaid only with its equivalent, they
will not be wronged. Say my Lord has guided me to a straight path
and upright religion, the faith of Abraham, a man of pure faith, he
was not an idolatry. say my prayers and devotions, my living
in my dying are all for God, Lord of All the Worlds, he has no
partner. This is what I'm commanded, and I am the first to
devote myself to him. Say should I seek a lord other than God, when
he's the Lord of all things. Each soul is responsible for its own
actions. No soul will bear the burden of another. In the end, you
will all return to your Lord and He will tell you the truth about
your differences. It is He Who made you successes on the earth
and raises some of you above others in rank, to test you
through what he gives you. Profit your Lord is swift and punishment,
yet he is most forgiving and merciful.
Chapter number seven the heights in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. Alif Lam Meem. Sloth.
This book has been sent down to you Prophet, let there be no
anxiety in your heart because of it. So that you may use it to give
warning and to remind the believers follow what has been
sent down to you from your Lord. Do not follow other masters
besides him, how seldom you take heat, how many towns we have
destroyed. Our punishment came to them by night or while they slept
in the afternoon. They were only cry when our punishment came to
them was how wrong were we? So we shall certainly question those to
whom messengers were sent. And we shall question the messengers
themselves, and with full knowledge, for we were never far
from them, we shall tell them what they did. On that day, the
weighing of deeds will be true and just those whose good deeds are
heavy on the scales will be the ones to prosper and those whose
good deeds or light will be the ones who have lost their souls
through their wrongful rejection of our messages. We establish you
people on the earth and provided you with a means of livelihood.
They're small things you give, we created you we gave you shape. And
then we said to the angels bow down before Adam, and they did,
but not IBLEES he was not one of those who bowed down.
God said What prevented you from bowing down as I commanded you?
And he said, I am better than him. You created me from fire and from
clay. God said get down from here. This is no place for your
arrogance. Get out. You are contemptible, but at least said,
give me respite until the day people are raised from the dead.
And God replied, You have respite? And then at least said, because
you have put me in the wrong, I will lie in wait for them all on
your straight path. I will come at them from their front and their
back from the right and their left, and you will find that most
of them are ungrateful. God said get out you're disgraced and
banished. I swear I shall fill * with you and all who follow
you. But you and your wife Adam, live in the garden. Both of you
eat whatever you like. But do not go near this tree or you will
become wrongdoers. Satan whispered to them so as to expose their
nakedness which had been hidden from them. He said, Your Lord only
forbade you this tree to prevent you becoming angels or immortals,
and he swore to them. I am giving you sincere advice. He Lord them
with lies, their nakedness became exposed to them when they had
eaten from the tree. They began to put together leaves from the
garden to cover themselves. Their Lord called to them that do not
forbid you to approach that tree that do not warn you that Satan
was your sworn enemy. They replied our Lord, we have wronged our
souls. If you do not forgive us and have mercy, we shall be lost.
He said all of you get out. You are each other's enemies. On
Earth, you will have a place to stay and lively
had for a time. He said, There you will live there you will die. From
there you will be brought out. Children of Adam. We have given
you garments to cover your nakedness and as adornment for
you. The garments of God consciousness is the best of all
garments. This is one of God's signs so that people may take
heed, Children of Adam, do not let Satan seduce you as he did your
parents, causing them to leave the garden, stripping them of their
garments to expose their nakedness to them. He and his forces can see
you from where you have cannot see that we have made evil ones allies
to those who do not believe.
Yet when these people do something disgraceful, they say, We found
our forefathers doing this. And God has commanded us to do this.
Say Prophet God does not command disgraceful deeds. How can you say
about God things that you do not know to be true. Say my Lord
commands righteousness, direct your worship straight to him
wherever you pray, call on Him devote your religion entirely to
Him just as He first created you, so you will come back to life
again.
Some He has guided and some are doomed to stray. They have taken
evil ones rather than God as their masters, thinking that they are
rightly guided Children of Adam dress well whenever you worship
and eat and drink as we have permitted, but do not be
extravagant. God does not like extravagant people say prophet who
has forbidden the adornment and the nourishment God has provided
for His servants say they are allowed for those who believe
during the life of this world. They will be there as alone on the
Day of Resurrection. This is how we make our revelation clear for
those who understand. Say Prophet, my Lord only forbids disgraceful
deeds, whether they be open or hidden and sin and unjustified
aggression, and that you without His sanction, associate things
with him, and that you say things about him without knowledge. There
is a time set for every people they cannot hasten it, nor when it
comes will they be able to delay it for a single moment.
Children of Adam when messengers come to you from among yourselves
reciting My revelations to you. For those who are conscious of God
and live righteously, there will be no fear, nor will they grieve.
But those who reject our revelations and arrogantly scorn
them are the people of the fire and there they will remain, who is
more wrong, then the person who invents lies against God or
rejects his revelations, such people will have their preordained
share in this world. But then, when our angels arrive to take
them back, saying, Where are those used to call on beside God, they
will say you have deserted us, they will confess that they were
disbelievers, God will say join the crowds of jinn and humans who
have gone before you into the fire. Every crowd curses its
fellow crowd as it enters. Then when they are all gathered inside.
The last of them will say of the first, our Lord It was they who
led us astray. Give them double punishment in the fire. God says
every one of you will have double punishment, though you do not know
it.
And the first of them will say to the last, you are no better than
us tastes the punishment you have earned.
The gates of heaven will not be open to those who rejected are
revelations and arrogantly spurned to them. Even if a thick rope or
to pass through the eye of a needle, they would not enter the
Garden. This is how we punish the guilty, * will be the resting
place and their covering layer upon layer. This is how we punish
those who do evil, but those who believe and do good deeds, and we
do not burden any soul with more than I can bear are the people in
the garden and there they will remain.
We shall have removed all ill feeling from their hearts streams
will flow at their feet. They will say Praise be to God who guided us
to this. Had God not guided us we would never have found the way the
messengers of Our Lord brought the truth of voice will call out to
them. This is a garden you have been given as your own on account
of your deeds. The people of the garden will cry out to the people
of the fire. We have found what our Lord promised us to be true.
Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? And they
will answer yes, a voice will proclaim from their midst. God's
rejection hangs over the evildoers. Those who turned others
away from God's path and tried to make it crooked, those who deny
the hereafter. A barrier divides the two groups with men on its
heights recognizing each group by their marks. They will call out to
the people of the garden. Peace be with you. They will not have
entered but they will be hoping and when their glands falls upon
the people of the fire they will say Our Lord, do not let us join
the evildoers and the people of the heights will call out to
certain men, men they recognize by their marks. What you swore your
great numbers and your false pride
Right, and are these the people who swore God will never bless?
Now these people are being told enter the Garden no fear for you,
nor shall you grieve.
The people of the fire will call to the people of paradise. Give us
some water or any of the sustenance God has granted you and
they will reply. God has forbidden both to disbelievers. Those who
took their religion for distraction, a mere game, and were
diluted by a worldly life. Today, we shall ignore them just as they
have ignored their meeting with this day and denied our
revelations.
We have brought people that scripture we have explained it on
the basis of true knowledge as guidance and mercy for those who
believe. What are they waiting for, but the fulfillment of its
final prophecy? On the day it is fulfilled, those who had ignored
it will say, our Lord's Messenger spoke the truth. Is there anyone
to intercede for us now? Or can we be sent back to behave differently
from the way we behaved before, they will really have squandered
their souls and all the idols they invented will have deserted them.
Your Lord is God who created the heavens and earth in six days,
then established himself on the throne. He makes the night cover
the day in Swift pursuit. He created the sun, moon and stars to
be subservient, his command. All creations and command belong to
him, exalted be God, Lord of All the Worlds call on your Lord
humbly and privately. He does not like those who exceed his bounds,
do not corrupt the earth after has been sent right, calling him
fearing and hoping the mercy of God is close to those who do good.
It is God who sends the winds bearing good news of his coming
grace. And when they have gathered up the heavy clouds, we drive them
to a dead land, where we cause rain to fall, bringing out all
kinds of crops, just as we shall bring out the dead.
Will you not reflect? Vegetation comes out of good land in
abundance, by the will of its lord, but out of bad land only
scantily.
We explain our revelations in various ways to those who give
thanks. We sent Noah to his people. He said, My people serve
God, you have no god other than him. I fear for you the punishment
of a momentous day. But the prominent leaders of his people
said we believe you are far astray. He replied, My people,
there is nothing astray about me. On the contrary, I'm a messenger
from the Lord of All the Worlds.
I am delivering my Lord's message to you in giving you sincere
advice. I know things from God that you do not. Do you find it so
strange that a message should come down from your Lord, through a man
in your midst to warn you and make you aware of God so that you may
be given mercy. But they call Him a liar. We saved him and those who
are with him on the ark, and We drowned those who rejected our
revelations. They were willfully blind to the people of Iran. We
sent their brotherhood. He said, My people serve God. You have no
god other than him.
Will you not take heed? But the disbelieving leaders of his people
said, We believe you are a fool, and we think you are a liar. He
said My people, there is nothing foolish about me. On the contrary,
I'm a messenger from the Lord of all worlds. I am delivering my
Lord's messages to you. I am your sincere and honest adviser. Do you
find it so strange that a message should come from your Lord through
a man in your midst to warn you remember how he made you errors
after Noah's people and increased your statue? Remember God's bounty
so that you may prosper? They said, Have you really come to tell
us to serve God alone and to forsake what our forefathers
served? If what you say is true, bring us the punishment you
threatened. He said you are already set to receive your Lord's
loathing and anger. Are you arguing with me about mere names
of idols? Do you and your forefathers invented names for
which God has given no sanction? Just wait. I too am waiting. We
saved him and those who are with him through our mercy, we
destroyed those who denied our revelations and would not believe
to the people of the moon we sent their brother salah. He said, My
people serve God. You have no god other than him. A clear sign has
come to you now from your Lord. This is God's chi camel assigned
for you. So let her graze in God's land and do not harm her in any
way, or you will be struck by a painful torment. Remember how he
made you areas after I'd unsettled you in the land to build
yourselves forts on its planes and carve houses out of the mountains?
Remember God's blessings and do not spread corruption in the land.
But the arrogant leaders among these people said to the believers
they thought to be of no account. Do you honestly think that salah
is a messenger from his Lord? They said yes, we believe in the
message sent through him. But the arrogant leaders said We reject
what you believe in. And then they hamstrung the camel
they defied their Lord's commandment and said sorry to
bring down the punishment you threatened if you really are a
messenger, and earthquake caught them. By the next morning they
were lying dead in their homes. So he turned away from them saying,
My people, I delivered my Lord's messages to you and gave you
sincere advice. But you did not like those who gave sincere
advice. We sent lot and he said to his people, how can you practice
this outreach? No other people has done so before you lust after men
rather than women, you transgress all bounds. The only responses
people gave was to say to one another, dry them out of your
town. These men want to keep themselves chaste. We saved him
and his kinsfolk apart from his wife who stayed behind, and we
showered upon the rest of them a reign of destruction. See the fate
of the evildoers to the people of Midian we sent their brother show
aid, he said my people serve God, you have no god other than him. A
clear sign has come to you from your Lord give full measure and
weight and do not undervalue people's goods do not cause
corruption in the land after has been set in order. This is better
for you if you are believers do not sit in every pathway
threatening and barring those who believe in God from His way trying
to make it crooked. Remember how you used to be a few and He made
you multiply think about the fate of those who used to spread
corruption if some of you believe the message I bring and others do
not then be patient to God judges between us he is the best of all
judges.
This is the end of judges eight.
