Salam aleikum. This is the Quran. A new translation by m a s Abdul
Halim makes me learn
this begins Jews. Number nine.
Is people's arrogant leader said show aid. We will expel you and
your fellow believers from our town unless you return to our
religion. He said what even if we detest it? If we were to return to
your religion after God has saved us from it, we would be inventing
lies about him. There is no way we could return to it, unless by the
will of God our Lord. In his knowledge, he comprehends
everything. We put our trust in God, our Lord, expose the truth
and judge between us and our people for you are the best judge.
The disbelieving leaders among his people said, you will certainly be
losers if you fall short of an earthquake seize them. But the
next morning they were lying dead in their homes. It was as if those
who had rejected Choi have had never lived there. It was those
who had rejected Choi, who were the losers. So he turned away from
them, saying my people, I delivered my Lords messages to you
and gave you sincere advice. So why should I agree for people who
refuse to believe?
Whenever we sent a prophet to a town we afflicted its disbelieving
people with suffering and hardships, so that they might
humble themselves before God. And then we changed their hardship
into prosperity until they multiplied. But then they said,
hardship and affluence also befell our forefathers. And so we took
them suddenly unawares. If the people of those town had believed
and been mindful of God, we would have showered them with blessings
from the heavens and earth, but they rejected the truth and so we
punish them for their misdeeds. Do the people of these towns feel
secure that our punishment will not come upon them by night while
they're asleep? Do the people of these towns feel secure that our
punishment will not come upon them by day while they are at play? Do
they feel secure against God's plan? Only the losers feel secure
against God's plan? Is it not clear to those who inherit the
land from former generations that we can punish them to for their
sins, if we will, and seal up their hearts so that they cannot
hear? We have told you profit the stories of these towns, messengers
came to them in clear signs, but they would not believe in what
they had already rejected. In this way, God seals the hearts of
disbelievers. We found that most of them did not honor their
commitments, we found that most of them were defined. After these, we
sent Moses to Pharaoh and his leading supporters with our signs,
but they rejected them. See the fate of those who spread
corruption. Moses said, Pharaoh, I'm messenger from the Lord of all
the world's duty bound to say nothing about God, but the truth.
And I have brought you a clear sign from your Lord. Let the
children of Israel go with me. He said, produce this sign you have
brought if you're telling the truth. So Moses through his staff,
and lo and behold, it was a snake clear to all. And then he pulled
out his hand, and lo and behold, it was white for all to see.
The leaders amongst Pharaohs people said, This man is a learned
sorcerer, he means to drive you out of your land. Pharaoh said,
What do you suggest? And they said, delay him and his brother
for a while, and send messengers to all the cities to summon every
learning Sorcerer to you. The Sorcerers came to Pharaoh and
said, shall we be rewarded if we win? And he replied, Yes. And you
will join my inner court. So they said, Moses, will you throw first
or shall we? He said, You throw and they did, casting a spell on
people's eyes, striking fear into them, and bringing about great
sorcery. Then we inspired Moses, throw your staff, and lo and
behold, it devoured their fakery. The truth was confirmed, and what
they had produced came to nothing. They were defeated there and
became utterly humiliated. The sorceress fell to their knees and
said, We believe in the Lord of the Worlds, the Lord of Moses and
Aaron. But Pharaoh said, How dare you believe in him? Before I have
given you permission? This is a plot you have hatched to drive the
people out of the city. Soon you will see, I will cut off your
alternate hands and feet and then crucify you all.
They said, and so we shall return to our Lord. Your only grievance
against us is that we believed in the signs of our Lord when they
came to us, our Lord, pour steadfastness upon us, and let us
die in devotion to you.
The lead leaders among Pharaohs people said to him, but are you
going to leave Moses and his people to spread corruption in the
land and forsake you and your gods? He replied,
We shall kill their male children sparing only the females, we have
complete power over them. Moses said to his people turn to God for
help and be steadfast, the earth belongs to God. He gives it as
their own to whichever of His servants he chooses. And the happy
future belongs to those who are mindful of him. And they replied,
we were being persecuted long before you came to us. And since
then, too, he said, Your Lord may well destroy your enemy and make
you successors to the land to see how you behave. We inflicted years
of drought and crop failure on Pharaoh's people, so that they
might take heed. Then when something good came their way,
they said, This is our do. When something bad came, they ascribe
it to the evil omen of Moses and those with him. But their evil
omen was really from God, though most of them did not realize it.
They said, We will not believe in you, no matter what signs you
produce, to cast a spell on us. And so we let loose on them the
flood locusts, lice, frogs, blood, all clear signs. They were
arrogant, wicked people, they would say whenever a plague struck
them, Moses, pray to your Lord for us by virtue of the promises he
has made to you, if you relieve us of the plague, we will believe you
and let the children of Israel go with you. But when we relieve them
of the plague, and gave them a fixed period in which to fulfill
their promise, lo and behold, they broke it.
And so because they rejected our sides and paid them no heed, we
exacted retribution from them, We drowned them in the sea. And we
made those who had been oppressed succeed to both the east and the
west of the land that we had blessed. Your Lord's good promise
to the children of Israel was fulfilled because of their
patients. And we destroyed what Pharaoh and his people were making
and what they were building.
We took the children of Israel across the sea, but when they came
upon a people who worshipped idols, they said, Moses, make a
god for us. Like there's, he said, You really are foolish people.
The cult these people's practice is doomed to destruction and what
they have been doing is useless. Why should I seek any god other
than God for you, when he has favored you over all other people?
Remember how we saved you from pharaohs, people who are
subjecting you to the worst of sufferings, killing your male
children, sparing only your females. That was a mighty ordeal
from your Lord.
We appointed 30 nights for Moses then added 10 more. The term set
by his lord was completed in 40 Nights. Moses said to his brother,
Aaron, take my place among my people, act rightly and do not
follow the way of those who spread corruption. When Moses came for
our appointment, and his Lord spoke to him, he said, My Lord,
show yourself to me, let me see you. He said, You will never see
me. But look at that mountain. If it remains standing firm, you will
see me and when his Lord revealed himself to the mountain, he made
it crumble, Moses fell down unconscious. When he recovered, he
said, glory be to you. To you, I turn in repentance, I am the first
to believe. He said, Moses, I have raised you above other people by
giving you my messages and speaking to you. Hold on to what
I've given you be one of those who give thanks. We inscribed
everything for him in the tablets which taught and explained
everything, saying hold on to them firmly and urge your people to
hold fast to their excellent teachings. I will show you the end
of those who rebelled I will keep distracted from my signs those who
behave arrogantly on earth without any right and who, even if they
see every sign will not believe in them. They will not take the way
of right guidance if they see it, but will take the way of error if
they see that. This is because they denied our signs and paid
them no heed. The deeds of those who denied our signs in the
meeting of the hereafter will come to nothing. Why should they be
repaid for anything other than what they have done?
In his absence, Moses as people took to worshipping Amir shape
that made sounds like a cow, a calf made from their jewelry.
Could they not see that it did not speak to them or guide them in any
way? Yet they took it for worship, there were evildoers. When with
much wringing of hands, they perceived that they were doing
wrong. They said, if our Lord does not have mercy on us, and forgive
us, we shall be the losers. On his return to his people, angry and
aggrieved. Moses said, how foul and evil is what you have done in
my absence. Were you so keen to bring your Lord's judgment
forward, he threw the tablets down and seized his brother by the
hair, pulling him towards him. Aaron said son of my mother, these
people overpowered me. They almost killed me. Do not give my enemies
reason to rejoice. Do not include me with these evildoers. Moses
said, My Lord, forgive me and my brother except
into your mercy, you are the Most Merciful of all who show mercy.
Those who took to worshipping the calf will be afflicted by their
Lord's wrath and by disgrace in this life. This is the way we
repay those who invent such falsehood. But your Lord is Most
Forgiving and most Merciful towards those who do wrong, then
repent afterwards and truly believe.
When Moses his anger abated, he picked up the tablets on which
were inscribed guidance and mercy for those who stood in awe of
their Lord. Moses chose from his people, 70 men for our
appointment. And when they were seized by trembling he prayed, My
Lord, if you had chosen to do so, you could have destroyed them long
before this and me too. So will you now destroy us for what the
foolish among us have done? This is only a trial for him, you
through it, you cause whoever you will destroy it and guide whoever
you will, and You are our Protector. So forgive us and have
mercy on us. You are the Best of those who forgive, grant us good
things in this world and in the life to come. We turn to you. God
said, My punishment I bring on whomever I will. But my mercy
embraces all things. I shall ordain My Mercy for those who are
conscious of God and pay the prescribed arms, who believe in
our revelations, who follow the messenger, the unlettered prophet
they find described in the Torah that is with them, and in the
Gospel, who commands them to do right and forbids them to do
wrong, who makes good things lawful to them and bad things
unlawful and relieves them of their burdens, and the iron
collars that were on them. So it is those who believe him, honor
and help him and who follow the light which has been sent down
with him who will succeed, say Mohammed, people, I am the
messenger of God to you all, from him who has control over the
heavens and the earth. There is no god but him. He gives life and
death. So believe in God and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet
who believes in God and His words, and follow Him so that you may
find guidance. There is a group among the people of Moses who
guide with truth, and who act justly according to it. We divided
them into 12 tribes as distinct communities, and when his people
asked him for water, inspired Moses to strike the rock with his
staff, so that 12 Springs gushed out. Each tribe knew its own
drinking place. We give them the shade of clouds and sent down to
them, manna and quail, saying, eat the good things we have provided
for you. They did not wrong us. It was themselves they wronged when
they were told, entered this town and eat freely there as you will,
but say, relieve us and enter its gate humbly, then we shall forgive
you your sins and increase the reward of those who do good. The
wrongdoers among them substituted another saying for the one that
had been given them. So we sent them a punishment from heaven for
their wrongdoing.
Profit, ask them about the town by the see how its people broke the
Sabbath when their fists surfaced for them only on that day, never
on weekdays. We tested them in this way, because of their
disobedience. How when some of them asked their preachers, why do
you bother preaching the people God will destroy or at least
punished severely? The preachers answered in order to be free from
your Lord's blame, so that they may perhaps take heed. When they
ignored the warning they were given. We saved those who forbid
evil, and punish the wrongdoer severely because of their
disobedience. When in their arrogance, they persisted in doing
what they had been forbidden to do. We said to them, be like apes,
be outcasts.
And remember, when your Lord declared that, until the Day of
Resurrection, He would send people against them to inflict terrible
suffering on them. Your Lord is swift and punishment, but he's
most forgiving and merciful. We disperse them over the earth in
separate communities, some are righteous and some less so. We
tested them with blessings and misfortunes, so that they might
all return to righteousness. And they were succeeded by generations
who although they inherited the Scripture, took the fleeting gains
of this lower world saying, We shall be forgiven, and indeed,
taking them again, if other such gains came their way, was a pledge
not taken from them written in the scripture to say nothing but the
truth about God, and have they not studied its contents? For those
who are mindful of God, the Hereafter is better? Why do you
not use your reason. But as for those who hold fast to the
scripture, and keep up the prayer, we do not deny righteous people
their rewards. When we made the mountain loom high above them like
a shadow, and they thought it would fall on them. We said, Hold
fast to what we have given you and remember what it contains so that
you may remain conscious of God. Prophet when your Lord took out
the offspring from the loins of the children of Adam, and made
them bear witness about themselves. He said, Am I not your
Lord?
And they replied, Yes, we bear witness. So you cannot say on the
Day of Resurrection, we were not aware of this. Or it was our
forefathers who before us, ascribe partners to God, and we are only
the descendants who came after them. Will you destroy us because
of the deeds of those who invented falsehood. In this way we explain
the messages so that they might turn to the right path.
Prophet tell them the story of the man to whom We gave our messages,
he slough them off, so Satan took him as his follower, and he went
astray. If they had been Our Will, We could have used these signs to
Raise them high. But instead, he clung to the earth and followed
his own desires. He was like a dog that pants with a lolling tongue,
whether you drive it away or leave it alone, such as the image of
those who reject our signs, tell them the story so that they might
reflect how foul is the image of those who reject our signs, it is
themselves they wrong, those God guides are truly guided and those
God allows to stray are the losers. We have created many jinn
and people who are destined for *. With hearts they do not use
for comprehension. Eyes, they do not use for sight, ears, they do
not use for hearing. They are like cattle no even further astray.
These are the ones who are entirely heedless. The most
excellent names belong to God, use them to call on him, and keep away
from those who abused his names. They will be requited for what
they do. Among those we created our group of people who guide with
truth and act justly according to it. But we lead on those who
reject our messages step by step, without them realizing it. I will
give them respite, but my plan is shore. Have they not reflected?
Their companion is not mad, but he's only giving clear warning.
Have they not contemplated the realm of the heavens and earth and
all that God created? And that the end of their time might be near?
What other revelation will they believe in? If they do not believe
in this? No one can guide those God allows to stray, he leaves
them blundering about in their insolence, they ask you Prophet
about the hour, when will it arrive, say My Lord alone has
knowledge of it, He alone will reveal when it's time will come a
time that is momentous in both the heavens and earth, all to suddenly
it will come upon you. They asked you about it as if you were eager
to find out. Say God alone has knowledge of when it will come.
Though most people do not realize it. Say Prophet, I have no control
over benefit or harm even to myself, except as God may please,
if I had knowledge of what is hidden, I would have abundant good
things and no harm could touch me. I am no more than a bear of
warning and good news to those who believe it is He Who created you
all from one soul, and from it made its mate so that he might
find comfort in her when one of them lives with his wife. And she
conceives a light burden. Going about freely then grows heavy,
they both pray to God their Lord, if you give us a good child, we
shall certainly be grateful. And yet, when he gives them a good
child, they ascribe some of what He has granted them to others. God
is far above the partners they set up alongside him. How can they set
up with him these partners that create nothing in are themselves
created, that cannot help them at all, or even help themselves.
If you believers call such people to guidance, they do not follow
you. It makes no difference whether you call them or remain
silent. Those who idolaters call upon instead of God are created
beings like you. Call upon them then, and let them respond to you.
If what you say is true, do they have feet to walk, hands to strike
eyes to see or ears to hear? Say profit call on your partner's
scheme against me Do not spare me. My protector is God. He has
revealed the scripture and it is He Who protects the righteous, but
those who call on instead of him cannot help you or even help
themselves. If you believers call such people to guidance they do
not hear you Prophet may observe them looking at you, but they
cannot see. Be tolerant and command what is right. Pay no
attention to foolish people.
If Satan should prompt you to do something, seek refuge with the
God. He is all hearing all knowing. Those who are aware of
God think of him when Satan prompts them to do something and
immediately they can see straight. The followers of devils are LED
relentlessly into error by them and cannot stop.
When you do not bring them a fresh revelation they say but can you
not just ask for one? Say I merely repeat what is revealed to me from
my Lord. This revelation brings you insights from your Lord and
guide
means and mercy for those who believe. So when the Quran is
recited, listen and be quiet, so that you may be given mercy.
Prophet, remember your Lord inwardly in all humility and all
without raising your voice, in the mornings and in the evenings Do
not be one of the heedless. Even those who live in the presence of
your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him and
bow down before Him.
Chapter Eight battle gains
in the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. They
asked you Prophet about distributing the battle Gaines,
say that is a matter for God and His messenger. So be mindful of
God and make things right between you obey God and His Messenger if
you're true believers, true believers are those whose hearts
tremble with all when God has mentioned, whose faith increases
when his revelations are recited to them, who put their trust in
their Lord, who keep up the prayer and give to others out of what we
provide for them. Those are the ones who truly believe they have
high standing with their Lord forgiveness and generous
provision. For it was your Lord who made you profit venture from
your home for a true purpose. Though a group of the believers
disliked it and argued with you about the truth after had been
made clear, as if they were being driven towards a death they could
see with their own eyes. Remember how God promised you believers
that one of the two enemy groups would fall to you? You wanted the
unarmed group to be yours, but it was God's will to establish the
truth according to his Word, and to finish off the disbelievers to
prove the truth to be true, and the false to be false, much as the
guilty might dislike it.
When you begged your Lord for help, he answered you, I will
reinforce you with 1000 Angels in succession.
God made this a message of hope to reassure your hearts help comes
only from God He is mighty and wise. Remember when he gave you
sleep as a reassurance from him, and sent down water from the sky
to cleanse you to remove Satan's pollution from you to make your
heart strong, and your feet firm? Your Lord revealed to the angels I
am with you give the believers firmness. As you'll put fear into
the hearts of the disbelievers strike above the next and strike
all their fingers. That was because they oppose God and His
messenger. And if anyone opposes God and His Messenger, God
punishes them severely. That is what you get taste that and the
torment of the Fire awaits the disbelievers. Believers, when you
meet the disbelievers in battle, Never turn your backs on them. If
anyone does so on such a day, unless maneuvering to fight or to
join a Fighting Group, he incurs the wrath of God and * will be
his home, a wretched destination. It was not you who killed them but
God and when you profit threw sand at them. It was not your throw
that defeated them but God's to do the believers a favor. God is all
seeing and all knowing that is what you get, and God will weaken
the disbelievers designs. This believers if you are seeking a
decision, now you have witness one, if you stop here, it will be
better for you. If you return so shall we and your forces the
greater number will be of no use to you. God is with the believers.
Believers obey God and His Messenger do not turn away when
you're listening to him. Do not be like those who say we heard,
though, in fact they were not listening. The worst creatures in
God's eyes are those who are willfully deaf and dumb, who do
not reason. If God had known that there was any good in them, he
would have made them here. But even if he had, they would still
have turned away and taking no notice. Believers respond to God
in His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. Know
that God comes between a man and his heart and that you will be
gathered to have
beware of discord that harms not only the wrongdoers among you
know that God is severe in his punishment.
Remember, when your few victimized in the land, afraid that people
might catch you. But God sheltered you and strengthened you with his
help and provided you with good things so that you might be
grateful. Believers do not betray God and the messenger unknowingly
betray other people's trust in you. Be aware that your
possessions and your children are only a test and that there is a
tremendous reward with God. Believers if you remain mindful of
God, He will give you a criterion to tell right from wrong and wipe
out your bad deeds and forgive you. God's favor is great indeed.
Remember Prophet when the disbelievers plotted to take you
captive? Kill or expel you? they schemed and so did God
He is the best schemers. Whenever a revelation is recited to them,
they say, We have heard all this before. We could say something
like this if we wanted. This is nothing but ancient fables. They
also said, God if this really is the truth from you, then
rhinestones on us from the heavens or send us some other painful
punishment. But God will not send them punishment while you profit
are in their midst, nor would he punish them if they sought
forgiveness. Yet why should God not punish them when they do bar
people from the sacred mosque? Although they are not its rightful
guardians, only those mindful of God are its rightful guardians.
But most of the disbelievers do not realize their prayers before
the House are nothing but whistling and clapping. So taste
the punishment for your disbelief. They use their wealth to bar
people from the path of God and they will go on doing so. In the
end, this will be a source of intense regret for them. They will
be overcome and herded towards *. God will separate the bad
from the good, place the bad on top of one another heaping them
all up together and put them in *. They will be the losers
prophet tells the disbelievers that if they desist, their pastor
will be forgiven. But if they persist they have an example in
the fate of those who went before believers fight them until there
is no more persecution and all worship is devoted to God alone.
If they desist then God sees all they do but if they pay no heed be
sure that God is your protector the best protector and the best
helper This is the end of Jaws number nine
