tafseer:
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not of those on whom is indignation brought down, nor of the astray.


tafseer:
Who believe in the Unseen, and establish prayer, and out of that wherewith We have provided them expend.


tafseer:
And who believe in that which hath been sent down unto thee and that which hath been sent down before thee and of the Hereafter they are convinced.


tafseer:
Verily those who have disbelieved, it is equal to them whether thou warnest them or warnest them not


tafseer:
And of mankind are some who say: we believe in Allah and in the Last Day: whereas they are not believers.


tafseer:
They would deceive Allah and those who believe, whereas they deceive not save themselves, and they perceive not.


tafseer:
And when it said unto them: believe even as mankind have believed, they say: shall we believe even as the fools have believed? Lo! verily it is they who are the fools


tafseer:
And when they meet those who have believed, they say: We believe. And when they are alone with their Satans, they say: verily we are with you, we were but mocking.


tafseer:
These are they who purchased error for guidance, but their traffic profited not, nor have they ever become guided.


tafseer:
Their likeness is as the likeness of him who kindleth a fire, then when it hath lit up that which is around him, Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darknesses where they see not


tafseer:
like unto a rain--laden cloud from heaven, wherein are darknesses and thunder and lightening. They so put their fingers in their ears because of the thunder-claps, guarding against death, and Allah is Encompasser of the infidels.


tafseer:
O Mankind worship your Lord who hath created you and those before you, haply ye may become God-fearing-


tafseer:
Who hath made the earth for you a carpet and the heaven a structure, and sent down from heaven water, and brought forth therewith fruits as a Provision for you


tafseer:
And if ye be in doubt concerning that which We have revealed unto Our bondsman, then bring a chapter like thereunto, and call your witnesses as against Allah, if ye say sooth.


tafseer:
But if ye do it not, --and by no means ye shall, --then dread the Fire, the fuel whereof is men and stones, gotten ready for the infidels.


tafseer:
And bear thou the glad tidings unto those who believe and do righteous works that verily for them shall be Gardens whereunder rivers flow. So oft as they shall be provided with a fruit therefrom they will say: this is that wherewith we were provided afore


tafseer:
Verily Allah is not ashamed to propound a similitude, be it of a gnat or of aught above it. Then as to those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. And to those who disbelieve, they say what intendeth God by similitude? He sendeth many astray thereby, and He guideth many thereby, and He sendeth not astray thereby any except the transgressors,


tafseer:
Who break the covenant of Allah after the ratification thereof, and sunder that which Allah hath commanded should be joined, and act corruptly on the earth. These! they are the losers.


tafseer:
He it is who created for you all that is on the earth, thereafter He turned to the heaven, and formed them seven heavens. And He is of everything the Knower.


tafseer:
And recall what time thine Lord said unto the angels: verily I am going to place a vicegerent On the earth. They said: wilt Thou place therein one who will act corruptly therein and shed blood While we hallow Thine praise and glorify Thee! Allah said: verily I know that which ye know not.


tafseer:
They said: hallowed be Thou no knowledge is our save that which Thou hast taught us, verily Thou! Thou art the Knower, Wise.


tafseer:
Allah said: O Adam! declare thou unto them the names of those objects. Then when he had declared unto them the names of those, He said: said I not unto you, verily I know the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and know that which ye disclose and that which ye are wont to conceal!


tafseer:
And recall what time We said unto the angels: prostrate yourselves before Adam, they prostrated themselves


tafseer:
And We said: Adam! dwell thou and thine spouse in the Garden, and eat ye twain plenteously thereof as ye list, but approach not yonder tree, lest yet twain become of the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
Then the Satan caused the twain to slip on account thereof, and drave them forth from that which the twain were in. And We said: get ye down, one of you an enemy unto anot her, and for you on the earth shall be a resting-place and enjoyment for a season.


tafseer:
Then Adam learnt from his Lord certain Words, and He relented toward him, verily He! He is the Relentant, the Merciful.


tafseer:
We said: get ye all down from hence, and if there cometh unto you a guidance from Me, then whosoever shall follow Mine guidance, -- no fear shall come on them, nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
Children of Israel! remember My favour wherewith favoured you, and fulfil My covenant, and shall fulfil your covenant, and Me alone shall ye dread.


tafseer:
And believe in that which I have sent down confirming that which is with you, and be not the first to disbelieve therein, and barter not My revelations for a small price, and Me alone shall ye fear.


tafseer:
Command ye mankind to piety and forget yourselves, the while ye read the Book! Understand then ye not!


tafseer:
Who know that verily they are going to meet their Lord, and that verily unto Him they are going to return,


tafseer:
O Children of Israel: remember My favour wherewith I favoured you, and that verily I preferred you over the world.


tafseer:
And fear a Day whereon not in aught shall a soul satisfy for a soul, nor shall intercession be accepted thereof, shall compensation be received therefor, nor shall they be succoured.


tafseer:
And recall what time We delivered you from the house of Fir´awn imposing upon you evil torment, slaughtering your sons and letting your women live


tafseer:
And recall what time We separated the sea for you and delivered you and drowned Fir´awn´s house while ye looked on.


tafseer:
And recall what time We treated with Musa forty nights, then ye betook the calf after him, and ye were wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And recall what time We vouchsafed unto Musa the Book and the distinction that haply ye may be guided.


tafseer:
And recall what time Musa said unto his people: my people! verily ye have wronged your souls by your taking the calf, wherefore repent unto your Maker, and slay yourselves: that were best for you with your Maker. Then He relented toward you


tafseer:
And We overshadowed you with Clouds and We sent down unto you the Manna and the quails, saying: eat of the clean things, wherewith We have provided you. And they wronged Us not, but themselves they were wont to wrong.


tafseer:
And recall what time We said: enter this town and eat plenteously therefrom as ye list, and enter the gate prostrating yourselves and say: forgiveness


tafseer:
And recall what time Musa prayed for drink for his people. We said: smite With thy staff the stone. Then there gushed forth thereout twelve springs


tafseer:
And recall what time ye said: O Musa! we shall by no means bear patiently with one food, wherefore supplicate for us unto thy Lord that He bring forth for us of that which the earth groweth, of its vegetables, and its cucumbers, and its Wheat, and its lentils, and its onions. He Said: would ye take in exchange that which is mean for that which is better! Get ye down into a City, as verily therein is for you that which ye ask for. And stuck upon them were abjection and poverty. And they drew on themselves indignation from Allah. This, because they were ever disbelieving in the signs of Allah and slaying the prophets without justice. This, because they disobeyed and were ever trespassing.


tafseer:
Verily those who believe, and those who are Judaised, and the Nazarenes, and the Sabians, - whosoever, believeth in Allah and the Last Day and worketh righteously, these! unto them shall be their hire with their Lord, no feal shall come on them nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
And recall what time We took your bond, and raised over you the Tur saying: hold fast to that which We have vouchsafed unto you, and remember that which is therein, that haply ye may become God-fearing.


tafseer:
And assuredly ye know of those of you who trespassed in the matter of the Sabbath, wherefore We said unto them: be ye apes despised.


tafseer:
And We made it a deterrent unto those of their day and those after them, and an exhortation unto the God-fearing.


tafseer:
And recall what time Musa said unto his people: verily Allah commandeth you that ye slaughter a cow. They said: makest thou a jest of us? He said take refuge with Allah that I should be of the ignorant.


tafseer:
They said: supplicate for us unto thy Lord that He make manifest unto us whatever she should be. He said: verily He saith, she should be a cow neither old nor young, but middle-aged betwixt that


tafseer:
They said: supplicate for us unto thy Lord that He make manifest unto us whatever her colour should be. He said: verily He saith, she should be a yellow cow the colour whereof is deepest, delighting the beholders.


tafseer:
They said supplicate for us unto thy Lord that He make manifest unto us whatever she should be, for verily the cow hath become dubious unto us and verily we, if God will, shall beguided.


tafseer:
He said: verily He saith, verify she should be a cow unyoked, not broken to till the ground or to water the field, whole, and without blemish in her. They said: now hast thou brought the truth. Then they slaughtered her, and they were wellnigh not doing it.


tafseer:
And recall what time ye slew a person, then quarrelled among yourselves respecting it, and Allah was to bring out that which ye were hiding.


tafseer:
Wherefore We said: smite him with part of her. Thus will Allah quicken the dead and He sheweth you His signs that haply ye may under stand.


tafseer:
Then your hearts hardened thereafter, so they are as stones or stronger in hardness: and verily of stones there are some from which gush forth rivers, and verily there are of them some that cleave asunder and water issueth therefrom, and verily there are of them some that fall down in awe of Allah: and Allah is not neglectful of that which ye work.


tafseer:
Covet ye then that they would believe for you whereas surely a Party of them hath been hearing the Word of Allah and then reverting it after they have understood it, While they know.


tafseer:
Woe then unto those who write out the Book with their hands and say thereafter: this is from God, that they may barter it for a small price. Woe then unto them for that which thei hands had written


tafseer:
And they say: Fire shall touch us not save for a few numbered days. Say thou: have ye taken a covenant with Allah, so that Allah shall not fail His covenant? or fabricate ye against Allah that which ye know not


tafseer:
O Yea! whosoever earnoth vice and his sin hath encompassed him, those shall be the fellows of the Fire, as abiders therein.


tafseer:
And those who believe and do righteous works, --those shall be the fellows of the Garden, as abiders therein.


tafseer:
And recall what time We took a bond with the Children of Israel saying: worship not any god save Allah, and unto parents show kindness, and also unto the kindred and the orphans and the poor, and speak kindly unto mankind, and establish prayer and give the poor rate. Then ye turned away, save a few of you, and ye are backsliders.


tafseer:
And recall what time We took a bond with you: saying: ye shall not shed your blood, nor drive one anot her from your homes


tafseer:
Thereafter it is ye the very ones who slay each other and drive a party of you from their homes, and back up against them with guilt and iniquity


tafseer:
And assuredly We vouchsafed unto Musa the Book and We followed him up by the apostles after him, and unto ´lsa, son of Maryam, We vouchsafed evidences and aided him with the Holy Spirit. Then so often as there came unto you an apostle with that which your souls desired not, ye waxed stiff necked


tafseer:
And they say: our hearts are uncircumcised. Nay! Allah hath cursed them because of their infidelity: little wherefore it is they believe.


tafseer:
And when there came unto them a Book from before Allah confirming that which was with them, --and afore they were entreating God for victory over these who disbelieved, -then when there came unto them that which they recognised. they disbelieved therein wherefore Allah´s curse be on the infidels!


tafseer:
Vile is that for which they have bartered their souls, that they should disbelieve that which Allah hath sent down, out of envy that Allah should reveal, out of His grace, unto whosoever of His bond men He listeth. Wherefore they have drawn upon themselves wrath upon wrath, and unto the infidel shall be a torment ignominious.


tafseer:
And when it said unto them believe in that which Allah hath sent down now, they say: we believe in that which hath been sent down unto Us. And they disbelieve in that which is besides that while it is the truth, confirming that which is with them. Say thou: wherefore then slew ye Allah´s prophets afore, a if ye have been believers?


tafseer:
And assuredly Musa came unto you with evidence, then ye betook the calf after him, and ye were wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And recall what time We took your bond and raised over you the Tur, saying: hold fast to that which We have vouchsafed unto you and hearken. They said: we hear and we disobey. And into their hearts the calf was made to sink because of their infidelity. Say thou: vile is that which your belief commandeth you, if ye are believers.


tafseer:
Say thou: if for you alone is the abode of the Hereafter with Allah to the exclusion of mankind, then wish for death if ye say sooth.


tafseer:
And surely thou wilt find them the greediest of men after life, even greedier than those who associate. Each one of them would fain life for a thousand years, and this will not save him from the torment, even if he hath lived so long. And Allah is the Beholder of that which they work.


tafseer:
Say thou: whosoever is an enemy unto Jibril, ----then verily he it is Who hath brought down this Revelation, by Allah´s command, to thine heart, confirming that which went before, and a guidance and glad tidings unto the believers.


tafseer:
Whosoever is an enemy unto Allah and His angels and His apostles and Jibril and Mikail, then verily Allah is an enemy unto the infidels.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have sent down Unto thee evident signs,and none shall disbelieve therein save the transgressors.


tafseer:
Is it that whenever they enter into a covenant some party among them cast it aside? Aye! most of them even believe not.


tafseer:
And whenever there came unto them an apostle from Allah confessing to that which was with them, a Party among those who were vouchsafed the Book, cast Allah´s Book behind their backs as though they knew not.


tafseer:
And had they believed and feared, surely better had been the reward from before Allah, if they but knew!


tafseer:
Fain would they who disbelieve, be they of the people of the Book or of the associators, that naught of good should be sent down unto you from Your Lord


tafseer:
Knowest thou not that verily Allah! His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth? and for you beside Allah is no protector or helper.


tafseer:
Seek ye to question your apostle, even as Musa was questioned afore. And whosoever changeth belief for infidelity, he hath of a surety strayed from the even way.


tafseer:
Fain would Many of the People of the Book turn you back infidels after ye have believed, out of envy from their, after the truth hath become manifest unto them so Pardon them, and pass over, until Allah sendeth His command. Verily Allah is over everything Potent.


tafseer:
And establish prayer and give the poor-rate. and whatsoever of good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find with Allah


tafseer:
And they say: none shall enter the Garden except he be a Jew or a Nazarene. Such are their vain desires! Say thou: forthwith your proof if ye say


tafseer:
And the Jews say: the Nazarenes are not grounded on aught: and the Nazarenes say: the Jews are not grounded on aught While they recite the same Book. Even so say those who know not, the like of their saying. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding that wherein they have been differing.


tafseer:
And who is more unjust than he who preventeth the mosques of Allah, that His name be mentioned therein, and striveth after their ruin? These! it was not for them to enter therein except in fear. Unto them shall be humiliation in this World,and unto them in the Hereafter a torment mighty.


tafseer:
And they Say: God hath betaken unto Him a son! Hallowed be He: Aye unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth: ´, all are unto Him devout


tafseer:
And those who know not, say: Wherefore speakest not God unto us? or cometh not unto us a sign? Thus aid those before them the like of their saying: consimilar are their hearts. We have already manifested the signs unto the people who would be convinced.


tafseer:
Verily We have sent thee with the truth, as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner, and thou shalt not be questioned of the fellows of the Flame.


tafseer:
And the Jews will never be pleased with thee, nor the Nazarenes, except thou follow their faith. Say thou: verily the guidance of Allah, --that is the guidance. And of a surety wert thou to follow their desires after that which hath come unto thee of the knowledge, there will be for thee against Allah neither protector nor helper.


tafseer:
Those unto whom We have vouchsafed the Book and they recite it as it ought to be recited - they shall believe therein and whosoever disbelieveth therein, those then! they shall be the losers.


tafseer:
O Children of Isra´il! remember My favour wherewith favoured you, and that I preferred you over the world.


tafseer:
And fear a Day whereon not in aught shall a soul satisfy for a soul, nor shall compensation be accepted therefor, nor shall intercession profit it, nor shall they be succoured.


tafseer:
And recall what time his Lord Proved Ibrahim with certain words then he performed them. He said: verily I am going to make thee a leader unto mankind. Ibrahim said: and also of my progeny? Allah said: My covenant shall not reach the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And recall what time We appointed the House a resort unto man kind and a place of security and said: take the station of Ibrahim for a place of prayer. And We covenanted with Ibrahim and Ismai´l, saying: purify ye twain My Houses for those who shall circumambulate it and those who shall stay, and those who shall bow down and prostrate themselves.


tafseer:
And recall what time Ibrahim said: my Lord! make this city a place of security, and provide the People thereof with fruits, - such of them as will believe in Allah and the last Day. Allah said: and whosoever will disbelieve, him also shall give enjoyment for a while


tafseer:
And recall what time Ibrahim was raising the foundation of the House and also Ismai´l, praying: our Lord! accept of us


tafseer:
Our Lord! make us twain submissive unto Thee, and of our progeny community submissive unto Thee, and show us our rites, and relent toward us! verily Thou! Thou art the Relentant, the Merciful!


tafseer:
Our Lord! raise up unto them an apostle from among them, who shall recite unto them Thy revelations, and shall teach them the Book and wisdom, and shall cleanse them. Verily Thou! Thou art the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
And who shall be averse from the faith of Ibrahim, save one who befooleth his soul! And assuredly We chose him in this World, and verily he in the Hereafter shall be of the righteous.


tafseer:
And Ibrahim enjoined his sons the same and did Ya´qub also, saying: O my sons! verily Allah hath chosen for you the religion, so die not except ye be Muslims.


tafseer:
Were ye witnesses when death presented itself to Ya´qub, what time he said unto his sons: what will ye worship after me! They said: we shall worship the God the God of thy fathers, Ibrahim and Ismai´l and Ishaq, and unto Him we are submissive.


tafseer:
That are a community who have passed away, unto them shall be that which they earned and unto you that which ye earn, and ye shall be questioned not of that which they were wont to Work.


tafseer:
And they say: become Jews or Nazarenes, and ye shall be guided. Say thou: Aye! we follow the faith of Ibrahim, the upright,and he was not of the associators.


tafseer:
Say: we believe in Allah and that which hath been sent down unto us and that which was sent down unto Ibrahim and Ismai´l and Ishaq and Ya´qub and the tribes,and that which was vouchsafed unto Musa and lsa, and that which was vouchsafed unto the prophets from their Lord


tafseer:
Say thou: contend ye with us regarding Allah, whereas He is our Lord even as He is Your Lord And unto us our works, and unto you your works, and we are His devotees.


tafseer:
Or say ye that Ibrahim and Ismai´l and Ishaq and Ya´qub, and the tribes were Jews or Nazarenes? Say thou: are ye the more knowing or is Allah? And who is more unjust than he who hideth a testimony that is with him from Allah? And Allah is not neglectful of that which ye Work.


tafseer:
Anon will the foolish among mankind say: what hath turned them away from their Qiblah whereon they had been? Say thou: unto Allah belongeth the east and the west he guideth whomsoever He listeth unto a straight path.


tafseer:
And in this wise We have made you a community justly balanced, that ye may be witness against the man kind and that the apostle may be in regard to you a witness. And We appointed not the Qiblah which thou hast had save in order that We might know him who followeth the apostle from him who turnoth back upon his heels. And of a surety the change is grievous save unto those whom Allah hath guided. And Allah is not one to let your faith go wasted


tafseer:
Oft We have seen the turning of thy face to the heaven, wherefore We shall assuredly cause thee to turn towards the Qiblah which shall please thee. Turn then thy face toward the Sacred Mosque


tafseer:
And shouldst thou bring unto those who are vouchsafed the Book every sign, they would not follow thy Qiblah, neither art thou to be a follower of their Qiblah


tafseer:
And from whencesoever thou goest forth, turn thy face toward the Sacred Mosque, and verily it is the very truth from thy Lord


tafseer:
And from whencesoever thou goest forth, turn thy face toward the Sacred Mosque, and wheresoever ye be, turn your face toward it, lest there should be with people an argument against you, except those of them who do wrong so fear them not, but fear Me


tafseer:
Even as We have sent amidst you an apostle from amongst you, who rehearseth unto you Our revelations and purifieth you,and teacheth you the Book and wisdom, and teacheth you that which ye were not wont to know.


tafseer:
Remember Me wherefore, and I shall remember you: and unto Me give thanks, and be notingrate unto Me.


tafseer:
And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: dead. Nay, they are living, but ye perceive not.


tafseer:
And We will surely prove you with aught of fear and hunger and diminution in riches and lives and fruits


tafseer:
Who, when there afflicteth them an affliction, say: verily we are Allah´s, and verily unto Him we are returners.


tafseer:
These! on them shall be benedictions from their Lord and His mercy, and these! they are the rightly guided.


tafseer:
Verily those who hide that which We have sent down of evidence and the guidance, after We have expounded its Unto mankind in the Book, these! - curseth them Allah, and shall curse them the cursers


tafseer:
Save those that repent and amend, and make manifest the truth I these it is toward whom I relent. And I am the Relenting, the Merciful!


tafseer:
Verily those who disbelieve, and die while they are infidels, these it is on whom shall be the curse of Allah and the angels and mankind all.


tafseer:
They shall be abiders therein, the torment shall not be lightened on them, nor shall they be respited.


tafseer:
Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, and the ships that course upon the sea laden with that which profiteth mankind, and that which Allah sendeth down of water from the heaven and quickenoth the earth thereby after the death thereof


tafseer:
When those who were followed shall quit themselves of those who followed, and they all shall behold the torment, and sundered between them shall be the Cords.


tafseer:
And those who had followed shall say would that for us were a return, then would we quit ourselves of them as they have quitted themselves of us. In this wise Allah will show them their works as vain regrets


tafseer:
He only commandeth you to evil and indecency, and that ye should say against Allah that which ye know not


tafseer:
And when it said unto them: follow that which Allah hath sent down, they say: nay, we shall follow that way whereon we found our fathers - even though their fathers understood not aught, nor were they guided aright?


tafseer:
And the likeness of those who disbelieve is as the likeness of one who shouteth unto that which heareth naught except a call and a cry


tafseer:
O O Ye who believe! eat of the clean things wherewith We have provided you, and return thanks unto Allah, if Him indeed ye are wont to worship.


tafseer:
He hath only forbidden unto you the carcass and blood and the flesh of swine, and that over which is invoked the name of other than Allah. But whosoever is driven by necessity, neither alusting nor transgressing, for him is no sin


tafseer:
Verily those who hide that which Allah hath sent down in the Book and Purchase therewith a small gain, these are they who eat in their bellies naught but Fire. Allah will not speak unto them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them


tafseer:
These are they who have purchased error for guidance, and torment for forgiveness, How enduring must they be of the Fire!


tafseer:
This shall be because Allah hath verily sent down the Book with truth: and verily those who differ respecting the Book. are surely in cleavage wide.


tafseer:
Virtue is not in this that ye turn your faces toward the east and west, but virtue is of him who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Book and the prophets: and giveth of his substance, for love of Him unto kindred and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for redeeming necks, and establisheth prayer and giveth the poor-rate and is of the performers of their covenant when they have covenanted


tafseer:
Prescribed unto you, when death is nigh unto one of you, if he leaveth any property, is the making of a bequest for parents and kindred equitably - a duty on the God-fearing.


tafseer:
Then whosoever altereth it after he hath heard it, the sin thereof shall be only on those who shall alter it: verily Allah is Hearing, Knowing.


tafseer:
How beit whosoever apprehendeth from the testator a mistake or a sin and thereupon he maketh up the matter between them, on him there shall be no sin


tafseer:
O ye who believe! prescribed unto you is fasting even as it was prescribed unto those before you, that haply ye may fear God.


tafseer:
The month of Ramadhan: therein was sent down the Qur´an: is a guidance unto mankind, and with evidences: one of the Books of guidance and the distinction. So whosoever of you witnesseth the month, he shall fast it, and whosoever sick or journeying, for him the like number of other days. Allah intendeth for you ease, and intendeth not for you hardship


tafseer:
Allowed unto you, on the night of fasts, is consorting with your women. they are a garment unto you, and ye are a garment unto them. Allah knoweth that ye have been defrauding yourselves, so He hath relented toward you and pardoned you. Wherefore now copulate with them, and seek that which Allah hath prescribed for you, and eat and drink, Until the white thread becometh manifest unto you from the black thread of the dawn


tafseer:
And devour not your riches among yourselves in vanity, nor convey them unto the judges that ye may devour thereby a portion of other people´s riches sinfully while ye know.


tafseer:
They ask thee of new moons. Say thou: they are time-marks to mankind and for pilgrimage. And it is not piety that ye enter your houses by the backs thereof, but Piety is of him who feareth God


tafseer:
And fight them until there be no more temptation, and their obedience be wholly unto Allah. So if they desist, then there is to be no violence save against the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And expend in the way of Allah, and cast not yourselves with your hands into perdition, and do well. verily Allah loveth the well- doers,


tafseer:
And fulfil the pilgrimage and ´Umra for Allah. And if ye be besieged, offer whatsoever offering be easy, and shave not Your heads, until the offering reacheth its destination. Then whosoever of you sick or hath hurt in his head, for him is a ransom by fasting or alms or a rite. Then when ye are secure, whosoever combinoth ´Umra with the pilgrimage, for him is whatsoever offering be easy. And whosoever cannot afford then for him is a fast of three days during the pilgrimage and of seven when ye return these are ten days complete. That is for him whose family dwell not near the Sacred Mosque. And fear Allah, and know that verily Allah is severe in chastising.


tafseer:
No fault it is in you if ye seek grace from your Lord. Then when ye hurry from Arafat, remember Allah near the sacred monument. Remember Him as He hath guided you, and ye were afore of the erring.


tafseer:
Then hurry from the place whence the other people have hurried, and ask forgiveness of Allah, verily Allah is Forgiving,Merciful.


tafseer:
And when ye have completed Your rites, remember Allah even as ye remember your fathers or with a stronger remembrance. Of mankind there are some who say: our Lord vouchsafe unto us in, the world. And for such there shall be no portion in the Hereafter.


tafseer:
And of mankind are some who say: our Lord! vouchsafe unto us good in the world and good in the Hereafter,and save us from the torment of the Fire.


tafseer:
And remember Allah on the days numbered. Then whosoever hastenoth in two days on him is no sin, and whosoever delayeth, On him is no sin: this for him: who feareth. So fear Allah, and know that verily unto Him shall ye be gathered.


tafseer:
And of mankind is he whose discourse for the purpose of this world thou admirest, and he taketh Allah to witness as to that which is in his heart, whereas he is the most contentious of the adversaries.


tafseer:
And when he turnoth away, he speedeth through the land that He may act corruptly therein and destroy the tilth and the stock. And Allah approveth not corruptness.


tafseer:
And when it said unto him: fear Allah, arrogance taketh him to sin. Enough for him is Hell: surely an ill resort!


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! enter into Islam wholly, and follow not the foot steps of the Satan, verily he is unto you an enemy manifest.


tafseer:
Wherefore if ye slip after that which hath come unto you of the evidence then - know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.


tafseer:
Await they only that Allah shall come unto them in the shadows of the Clouds,and also the angels, and the affair is decreed! And unto Allah are all affairs returned.


tafseer:
Ask thou the Children of Isra´il, how many a manifest sign We brought unto them. And whosoever altereth the favour of Allah after it hath come unto him, then verily Allah is severe in Chastising.


tafseer:
Fair-seeming is made the life of the world unto those who disbelieve, and they scoff at those who believe, whereas those who fear God shall be above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah provideth whomsoever He listeth without reckoning.


tafseer:
Deem ye that ye will enter the Garden while ye hath not come upon you the like of that which came upon those who have passed away before you There touched them adversity and distress, and shaken were they, until the apostle and those who believed with him said


tafseer:
They ask thee regarding whatsoever they shall expend. Say thou: whatsoever ye expend of wealth, let it be for the parents and kindred and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and whatever good ye do, verily Allah is the Knower thereof.


tafseer:
Prescribed unto you is fighting, albeit it is abhorrent unto you. Belike ye abhor at thing whereas it is good for you, and belike ye desire a thing whereas it Is bad for you. And Allah knowcth and ye know not.


tafseer:

Those who take infidels for, friends, instead of the believers. Seek thy honour with them verily then honour is Allah´s altogether.


tafseer:
And it hath been revealed to you in the Book that when ye hear Allah´s revelations being disbelieved in and mocked at, sit not down with them until they plunge in a discourse other than that


tafseer:
Those who wait about you. If then there be victory for you from Allah, they say: were we not with you? And if there is a portion for the infidels, they say: gained we not mastery over you, and kept we not you back from the believers! Allah shall Judge betwixt you On the Day of Judgement, and Allah shall not make for the infidels against the believers a way.


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! take not infidels for friends, instead of believers. Would ye give Allah against you a manifest warranty!


tafseer:
Except those who shall yet repent and amend and hold fast by repent Allah and make their religion exclusive for Allah. These then shall be with the believers, and presently Allah shall give the believers a mighty hire.


tafseer:
What will Allah do with your torment, if ye return thanks and believe? And Allah is ever Appreciative, Knowing.


tafseer:
Whether ye disclose a good or conceal it, or pardon an evil, then verily Allah is ever Pardoning potent.


tafseer:
Verily those who disbelieve in Allah and His apostles, and would differentiate between Allah, and His apostles, and say: some we believe in and others we deny


tafseer:
These: they are the infidels in very truth, and We have gotten ready for the infidels a torment ignominious.


tafseer:
And those who believe in Allah and His apostles and differentiate not between any of them, anon We shall give them their hire


tafseer:
The people of the Book ask thee to bring down a Book to them from the heaven. But surely they asked Musa a thing greater than that


tafseer:
And We raised the Mount over them for their bond. And We said unto them: enter the portal prostrating yourselves. And We said unto them: transgress not in the matter of the Sabbath and We took from them a firm bond.


tafseer:
Accursed are they then for their breach of the bond and their rejecting the commandments of Allah and their slaying the prophets without justification, and their saying: our hearts are uncircumcised. Aye! Allah hath set a seal upon them for their infidelity, wherefore they believe not but a little.


tafseer:
And for their saying: verily We have slain the Messiah ´Isa son of Maryam, an apostle of Allah, whereas they slew him not, nor they crucified him but it was made dubious unto them. And verily those who differ therein are in doubt thereof, they have no knowledge thereof


tafseer:
And there is none among the people of the Book but shall surely believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Judgement he shall be a witness against them.


tafseer:
Wherefore because of the wrongdoing on the part of those who are Judaised We forbade unto them the clean things that had been allowed unto them, and also because of their keeping away many from Allah´s way


tafseer:
And also because of their taking usury whereas they were prohibited therefrom, and also because of their devouring the riches of men unlawfully. And for the infidels among them We have gotten ready a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
But of them those well-grounded in the Knowledge and the believers believe in that which hath been sent down unto thee and that which hath been sent down before thee, and the establishers of prayer and the givers of the poor-rate and the believers in Allah and the Last Day- those: unto them anon We shall give a mighty hire.


tafseer:
Verily We have revealed unto thee even as We revealed unto Nuh and the prophets after him, and as We revealed unto Ibrahim and Isma´il and Is-haq and Ya´qub and the tribes, and ´Isa and Ayyub and Yunus and Harun and Sulaiman, and unto Daud We vouchsafed a Scripture.


tafseer:
And We Revealed unto apostles of some of whom We have narrated unto thee aforetime and of others of whom We have not narrated unto thee


tafseer:
We sent all these apostles as bearers of glad tidings and warners in order that there be no plea for mankind against Allah, after the apostle


tafseer:
How be it Allah beareth witness by that which He hath sent down unto thee He sent it down with His own knowledge and the angels also bear witness


tafseer:
Verily those who have disbelieved and done wrong, Allah is not one to forgive them nor to guide them to any way.


tafseer:
O ye mankind! assuredly there hath come unto you the Prophet with the truth from your Lord wherefore believe that it may be well for you. And if ye disbelieve, then verily Allah´s is whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth


tafseer:
The Messiah disdaineth not that he should be a bondman of Allah, nor do the angels brought near. And whosoever disdaineth serving Him and stiff-necked, anon He shall gather them all unto Him.


tafseer:
Then as to those who have believed and worked righteous works, He shall give unto them their hire in full and shall give unto them an increase out of His grace. And as to those who disdained and were stiff-necked, He shall torment them with a torment afflictive. And they shall not find for themselves, against Allah, a protecting friend or a helper.


tafseer:
O ye mankind! there surely hath come unto you a proof from your Lord, and We have sent down unto you a manifest light.


tafseer:
Then as to those who believe in Allah and hold fast by Him, anon He shall make them enter into a mercy from Himself and grace and shall lead them unto Himself by a path straight.


tafseer:
They ask thee for pronouncement. Say thou: Allah pronounceth thus in the matter of one without father or child: if a person perisheth and hath no child, but hath a sister, hers shall be the half of that which he hath left: and he shall be her heir if she hath no child, if there be two sisters, then theirs shall be two-third of that which he hath left


tafseer:
O ye who believe! fulfil the compacts. Allowed unto you is the beast of the flock except that which is rehearsed unto you, not allowing the chase while ye are in a state of sanctity. Verily Allah ordaineth whatsoever He will.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! profane not the landmarks of Allah nor any sacred month nor the offering nor the victims with the garlands nor those repairing to the Sacred House seeking the grace of their Lord and His goodwill. And when ye have put off the state of sanctity, ye may chase. And let not the hatred against a people, because they kept you from the Sacred Mosque, incite you to trespass. Assist each other to virtue and piety, and assist not each other to sin and transgression, Fear Allah: verily Allah is Severe in chastising.


tafseer:
Forbidden unto you are the deadmeat, and blood, and the flesh of the swine, and that over which is invoked the name of other than Allah, and the strangled, and the felled, and the tumbled, and the gored, and that which wild animals have devoured, unless ye have cleansed, and that which hath been slaughtered on the altars, and that ye seek a division by means of the divining arrows: all that is an abomination. To- day those who disbelieve have despaired of your religion


tafseer:
They ask thee as to whatever is allowed unto them. Say thou: allowed unto you are all clean foods, and as to the animals of prey which ye have taught even as Allah hath taught you, eat of that which they have caught for you, and mention the name of Allah over it


tafseer:
To-day are allowed unto you all clean foods, and the meat of those vouchsafed the Book is allowable for you, and your meat is allowable for them as also are the wedded believing women and the wedded women of those vouchsafed the Book before you, when ye have given them their dowers, taking them in wedlock, neither fornicating, nor taking them is secret paramours. And who soever rejecteth the faith, his work will surely come to naught, and in the Hereafter he shall be of the losers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! when ye stand up for the prayer wash your faces and your hands unto the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet unto the ankles. And if ye be polluted, then purify yourselves And if ye be ailing or on a journey or one of you cometh from the privy or ye have touched women, and ye find not water, then betake yourselves to clean earth and wipe your faces and hands therewith. Allah intendeth not to lay upon you a hardship, but intendeth to purify you and to complete His favour upon you, that haply ye may return thanks.


tafseer:
And remember Allah´s favour on you and His bond wherewith He bound you firmly when ye said: we hearken and we obey. And fear Allah: verily Allah is Knower of that which is in the breasts.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! be maintainers of your pact with Allah and witnesses in equity, and let not the hatred of a people incite you not to act fairly


tafseer:
O ye who believe! remember Allah´s favour on you when a people determined to stretch forth their hands against you, but he withheld their hands from you, And fear Allah, and in Allah let the believers trust.


tafseer:
And assuredly Allah took a bond from the Children of Isra´il, and We raised from amongst them twelve wardens. And Allah said: verily I am with you, if ye establish prayer and give the poor-rate and believe in My apostles and support them and lend unto Allah a goodly loan, I shall surely expiate for you your misdeeds and surely shall make you enter the Gardens whereunder rivers flow


tafseer:
Wherefore for their breach of their bond We accursed them and We made their hearts hard. They pervert the words from the meanings thereof and have abandoned a good portion of that wherewith they were admonished. And thou wilt not cease to light upon defrauding on their part, save a few of them


tafseer:
And of them who say: verily we are Nazarenes, We took a bond from them, but they have abandoned a good portion of that wherewith they were admonished. Wherefore We have occasioned enmity and hatred amongst them till the Day of Judgement, and presently Allah shall declare unto them that which they have been performing.


tafseer:
O ye people of the Book! surely there hath come Our apostle unto you expounding unto you much in the Book that ye were wont to hide, and much he passeth over. Of a surety, there hath come unto you from Allah a light and a Book luminous.


tafseer:
Therewith Allah guideth those who follow His goodwill unto the ways of safety, and bringeth them forth out of darkness into the light by His leave, and guideth them onto the right path.


tafseer:
And the Jews and the Nazarenes say: we are the children of God and His loved ones. Say thou: wherefore then doth He torment you for your sins? Aye! ye are but men, part of those whom He hath created. He forgiveth whomsoever He will and tormenteth whomsoever He will. And Allah´s is the dominion of the heavens and the earth and that which is in- between the twain, and unto Him in the return.


tafseer:
O people of the Book! surely there hath come unto you Our apostle, after a cessation of the apostles, expounding unto you, lest ye may say: there came not unto us a bearer of glad tidings nor a warner. So now there surely hath come unto you a bearer of glad tidings and a warner


tafseer:
And recall what time Musa said unto his people: O my people! remember the favour of Allah on you when he made amongst you prophets and made princes, and vouchsafed unto you that which he vouchsafed not to anyone in the world.


tafseer:
O my people! enter the holy land which Allah hath prescribed for you and turn not back to your rearward for then ye become losers.


tafseer:
They said: O Musa! verily therein are a people high handed, and verily we shall never enter it until they go forth therefrom


tafseer:
Said he: my Lord control not but myself and my brother, so decide Thou between us and this transgressing people.


tafseer:
Said He: verily then it is forbidden unto them for forty years, while they shall wander about in the earth, so mourn not thou over this transgressing people.


tafseer:
And rehearse thou unto them with truth the tale of the two sons of Adam, when the twain offered an offering, and it was accepted from one of them, and was not accepted from the other


tafseer:
If thou stretchest forth thine hand against me to slay me, I shall not be stretching forth my hand against thee to slay thee, verily I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
Verily would that thou bear my sin and thine own sin, and then thou become of the fellows of the Fire


tafseer:
Then his soul made the slaying of his brother agreeable to him, so he slew him, and he became of the losers.


tafseer:
Then Allah sent a raven scratching in the earth to show him in what wise he might cover the corpse of his brother. He said: woe unto me was incapable of being like unto this raven so that I might cover the corpse of my brother! And he became of the remorseful.


tafseer:
Because of that We Prescribed unto the Children of Isra´il: whosoever slayeth a person, except for a person, or for corruption in the land, it shall be as through he had slain all mankind, and whosoever bringeth life to one it shall be as though he had brought life to all mankind. And assuredly there came unto them Our apostles with evidences, yet even thereafter many of them are acting on the earth extravagantly.


tafseer:
The meed of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and go about in the land corrupting is only that they shall be slain or crucified or their hands and feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be banished from the land. Such shall be their humiliation in the world, and theirs shall be in the Hereafter a mighty torment.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! fear Allah and seek approach unto Him and strive hard in His way, that haply ye may fare well.


tafseer:
Verily those who have disbelieved, if they had all that is in the earth and with it as much again whereby to ransom themselves from the torment on the Day of Judgement, it shall not be accepted of them, and theirs shall be a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
They will desire to come forth from the Fire, but they shall not be able to come forth therefrom, and theirs shall be a torment lasting.


tafseer:
As for the man-thief and the woman-thief, cut off their hands as a meed for that which they have earned


tafseer:
Then whosoever repenteth after his wrong-doing and amendeth, verily Allah shall relent toward him. Verily Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
O apostle! let not those grieve thee that hasten after infidelity from among these who say with their mouths: we believe, yet their hearts believe not, and from among those who are Judaised: listeners to falsehoods, listeners to anot her people who come not unto thee


tafseer:
Listeners are they to falsehood, devourers of the forbidden. Wherefore if they come to thee, either judge between them or turn away from them. And if thou turnest away from them, they shall not be able to hurt thee in aught


tafseer:
And how shall they ask thee for judgement, whereas with them is the Taurat wherein is Allah´s judgement? And they turn away thereafter? And those are no believers.


tafseer:
Verily We sent down the Taurat wherein was a guidance and a light. By it the prophets who submitted themselves judged those who were judaised, and so did the divines and the priests by that wherewith they were entrusted of the Book of Allah and they had become witnesses thereof. Wherefore fear not the mankind but fear Me, and barter not My revelations for a small price, And whosoever judgeth not by that which Allah hath sent down - those then they are the infidels.


tafseer:
And We prescribed unto them therein: a life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and wounds in reprisal, then whosoever forgoeth it, then it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever judgeth not by that which Allah hath sent down - those then! they are the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And in their footsteps We caused ´Isa, son of Maryam, to follow, confessing to that which had preceded him, the Taurat, and We vouchsafed unto him the Injil wherein was a guidance and a light, confirming that which had preceded it, the Taurat, and a guidance and an admonition unto the God-fearing.


tafseer:
And judge thou between them by that which Allah hath sent down, and follow thou not their desires, and beware thou of them lest they tempt thee away from any part of that which Allah hath sent down unto thee. Then if they turn away, then know thou that Allah only intendeth to afflict them for some of their sins. And verily many of the mankind are transgressors.


tafseer:
Seek they then the judgement of Paganism? And who is better than Allah in judgement unto a people who are convinced?


tafseer:
O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Nazarenes as friends: friends they are to each other: and whosoever of you befriendeth them, verily he is of them


tafseer:
Wherefore thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease hasten toward them saying: we fear lest there may befall us a reverse. But belike Allah may bring a victory or some affair from Himself


tafseer:
And those who believe will say: are those they who swear by Allah say their solemn oaths that they were verily with you? Their works came to naught, and they found themselves losers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! whosoever of you apostateth from his religion, then presently Allah shall bring a people whom He shall love and who shall love Him, gentle toward the believers, stern toward the infidels, striving hard in the way of Allah, and fearing not the reproof of any reprover. This is the grace of Allah


tafseer:
Your friend is but Allah and His apostle and those who have believed- those who establish the prayer and give the poor-rate while they bow down.


tafseer:
And whosoever befriendeth Allah and His apostle and those who have believed, then verily the party of Allah! - they are the overcomers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! take not as friends those who make a mockery and fun of your religion from among those who have been vouchsafed the Book before you and other infidels. And fear Allah if ye are believers.


tafseer:
And when ye call for the prayer they make a mockery and fun thereof. This because they are a people who understand not.


tafseer:
Say thou: O people of the Book! what is it that ye persecute us for save that we believe in Allah and in that which hath been sent down unto us and that which hath been sent down aforetime? and most of you are transgressors.


tafseer:
Say thou: shall I declare unto you something worse as a way with Allah than that? Whomsoever Allah hath accursed and is angered with, and of whom some He hath made apes and swine and slaves of the devil - those are worst in abode and furthest astray from the level way.


tafseer:
And thou shalt see many of them hastening toward sin and transgression and their devouring of the forbidden. Vile indeed is that which they have been doing!


tafseer:
Wherefore is it that the divines and priests forbid them not of their speaking of sin and their devouring of the forbidden? Vile indeed is that which they have been performing!


tafseer:
And the Jews say: the hand of God is fettered. Fettered be their own hands, and cursed be they for that which they have said! Aye! His both hands are wide open. He expendeth howsoever He listeth. And surely that which hath been sent down to thee from thy Lord increaseth many of them in exorbitance and infidelity. And We have cast among them enmity and spite till the Day of Judgement: so oft as they kindle the fire of War Allah extinguisheth it, and they strive after corruption in the land, and Allah approveth not the corrupters.


tafseer:
And had the people of the Book believed and feared, We would surely have expiated from them their misdeeds and would surely have made them enter the Garden of Delight.


tafseer:
And had they established the Taurat and the Injil and that which hath now been sent down unto them from their Lord, they would have devoured from above them and from beneath them. Among them is a community right-doing


tafseer:
Say thou: people of the Book! ye rest not on aught until ye establish the Taurat and the Injil and that which hath now been sent down unto you from your Lord. And that which hath been sent down unto thee will surely increase many of them in exorbitance and infidelity


tafseer:
Verily those who believe, and those who are Judaised, and the Sabians and the Nazarenes - whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and worketh righteously, no fear shall come on them, nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
Assuredly We took a bond from the Children of Isra´il and We sent unto them apostles. Whenever there came unto them an apostle with that which their souls desired not, a party of them they belied and a party they slew.


tafseer:
Assuredly they have disbelieved who say: verily God: He is the Masih, son of Maryam, whereas the Masih had said: Children of Isra´il! worship Allah, mine Lord and your Lord


tafseer:
Say thou: worship ye, beside Allah, that which availeth you not for hurt nor for profit! whereas Allah! He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
Say thou: O people of the Book! exceed not the just bounds in your religion except with truth, and follow not the vain desires of a people who have strayed aforetime and have led many astray and have strayed from the level way.


tafseer:
Cursed were those who disbelieved from among the Children of Isra´il by the tongue of Daud and ´Isa, son of Maryam. That is because they disobeyed and were ever transgressing.


tafseer:
And had they believed in Allah and the prophet and that which is sent down unto him, they would not have taken them for friends, but many of them are transgressors.


tafseer:
Surely thou wilt find the Jews and those who associate the bitterest of mankind in enmity toward those who believe. And surely thou wilt find the highest in affection to those who believe those who say: we are Nazarenes. That is, because among them are divines and monks and because they are not stiff-necked.


tafseer:
And when they hear that which hath been sent down unto the apostle, then thou beholdest their eyes overflow, with tears because of the truth they have recognised. They say: Our Lord! we believe, so write us down with the witnesses.


tafseer:
And what aileth us that we should not believe in Allah and that which hath come unto us of the truth


tafseer:
Wherefore Allah will reward them, for that which they said, with Gardens whereunder rivers flow as abiders therein: such is the recompense of the well-doers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! forbid not the clean things of that which Allah hath allowed unto you, and trespass not verily Allah approveth not the trespassers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! wine and gambling and stone altars and divining arrows are only an abomination, a handiwork of Satan, shun it wherefore, that haply ye may fare well.


tafseer:
Satan only seeketh to breed animosity and spites among you by means of wine and gambling and would keep you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer


tafseer:
No sin is on those who believe and work righteous works for that which they have eaten when they have abstained, and believed and work righteous works, and shall again abstain and believe, and shall again abstain and do well


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Allah shall surely prove you with aught of the chases which your hands and your lances may reach, in order that Allah may know whosoever feareth Him unseen


tafseer:
Allowed unto you is the game of the sea and the eating thereof: a provision for you and for the caravan


tafseer:
Allah hath made the Ka´ba, the Sacred House, a maintenance for mankind and likewise the Sacred month, and so also the offering and the victims with garlands. That is in order that ye may know that Allah knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and that of everything Allah is Knower.


tafseer:
Naught resteth there on the apostle except the preaching, and Allah knoweth that which ye disclose and that which ye hide.


tafseer:
Say thou: equal are not the foul and the pure, even though the abundance of the foul may astonish thee


tafseer:
Allah hath not appointed aught of the bahira or the sa´iba or the wasila or the ham, those who disbelieve have fabricated a lie against Allah, and most of them reflect not.


tafseer:
And when it is said unto them: come to that which Allah hath sent down and to the apostle, they say: enough for us is that whereon we found our fathers. What! even though their fathers knew not aught nor were guided.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! the testimony amongst you, when death presenteth itself to you, at the making of a bequest shall be that of two equitable persons from amongst you, or two others from amongst those not of you, if ye be journeying in the earth and the affliction of death afflicteth you. O Ye shall detain the twain after the prayer, if ye be in doubt, and they shall swear by Allah affirming: we shall not barter it for a price, even though he be a kinsman, and we shall not hide the testimony of Allah, for then verily we shall be of the sinners.


tafseer:
If then it be lit upon that the twain had been guilty of a sin, then two othershall take their place from among those who were sinned against, the two nearest of kin, and they shall swear by Allah affirming: our testimony is worthier of credit than their testimony and we have not trespassed, for then verily we shall be of the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
That shall make it more likely that they shall produce the testimony according to the fact thereof or they shall fear that other oaths would be admitted after their oaths. And fear Allah and hearken


tafseer:
Beware of the Day whereon Allah shall assemble the apostles and say unto them: how were you answered? Then they will say: no knowledge have we


tafseer:
And call to mind what time Allah will say: ´Isa, son of Maryam, remember My favour unto thee and unto thine mother when I aided thee with the holy spirit so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle and in maturity, and when taught thee the Book and wisdom and the Taurah and the Injil, and when thou formedst out of clay as though the likeness of a bird by My command, and thou breathedest thereinto and it became a bird by My command, and thou healedest the blind from birth and the leprous by My command


tafseer:
And recall what time I revealed to the disciples: believe in Me and My Apostle, they said: we have believed and bear thou witness that verily we are Muslims.


tafseer:
Recall what time the disciples said: O ´Isa, son of Maryam! is thine Lord able to send down unto us some food from the heaven? He said: fear Allah, if ye are indeed believers.


tafseer:
They said: we mean that we may eat thereof and we may set our hearts at rest and we be assured that thou hast spoken the truth unto us, and we should be of the witnesses thereof.


tafseer:
´Isa, son of Maryam, said: O Allah, our Lord send down unto us some food from the heaven, that it may become unto us an occasion of joy, unto the first of us and the last of us, and a sign from Thee. And provide us Thou


tafseer:
Allah said: verily I am going to send it down to you, but whosoever of you disbelieveth thereafter, verily shall torment him with a torment wherewith I shall not torment any other of the worlds.


tafseer:
And call to mind what time Allah will say: O ´Isa, son of Maryam! was it thou who said to the people: take me and my mother as two god beside Allah! ´Isa will say: hallowed be Thou! it was not for me to say that to which had no right


tafseer:
I spake not unto them aught save that for which Thou badest me: worship Allah, mine Lord and your Lord. I was a witness over them so long as abode amongst them: then when Thou tookest up Thou hast been the Watcher. And over everything Thou art a Witness.


tafseer:
Allah will say: this is a Day whereon their truthfulness will benefit the truthful. Theirs are Gardens whereunder rivers flow


tafseer:
Allah´s is the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever Is therein, and over everything He is Potent.


tafseer:
All praise unto Allah , who created the heavens and the earth and made the darknesses and the light, yet those who disbelieve equalise others with their Lord.


tafseer:
He it is who created you of clay and then decreed a term - and a term determined is with Him - yet ye waver.


tafseer:
And not a sign cometh unto them of the signs of their Lord but that therefore they have been backsliders.


tafseer:
Observe they not how many a generation before them We have destroyed whom We had established on the earth as We have not established you, and upon whom We had sent the rains of heaven pouring and under whom We had made the rivers flow


tafseer:
And had We sent down unto thee a Book written upon parchment so that they could have touched it with their hands, those who disbelieve would have said: this is naught but magic manifest.


tafseer:
And they say: wherefore hath not an angel been sent down unto him? Were We to send down an angel, the affair would have been decreed and they would not be respited.


tafseer:
And had We made him an angel, We would still have made him a man, and We would have confounded for them that which they are confounding.


tafseer:
And assuredly mocked were the apostles before thee, wherefore that whereat they scoffed beset these who had been mocking.


tafseer:
Say thou: whose is whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth? Say thou: Allah´s. He hath prescribed mercy for Himself. Surely He shall gather you together on the Day of Judgement whereof there is no doubt. Those who have lost themselves shall not believe.


tafseer:
Say thou: Shall I take for a patron any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth! And He feedeth, and is not fed. Say thou: I am commanded that I be the first who submitteth himself, and that: be thou not of the associaters.


tafseer:
If Allah touch thee with hurt there is no reverser thereof but he, and if he touch thee with good, then He is over everything Potent.


tafseer:
Say thou: what thing is the greatest in testimony? Say thou: Allah is Witness between me and you, and this Qur´an hath been revealed unto me that I may thereby warn you and whomsoever it may reach. Would ye indeed testify that there is anot her god together with Allah? Say thou: I testify not. Say thou: verily He is the One God, and I am quit of that which ye associate.


tafseer:
Those whom We have vouchsafed the Book recognise him even as they recognise their own children. Yet those who have lost themselves will not believe.


tafseer:
And who is a greater wrong-doer than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah or belieth His signs? Verily the wrong-doers shall not fare well.


tafseer:
Behold! how they lied against themselves! and then failed them that which they had been fabricating.


tafseer:
And of them are some who hearken unto thee and We have set over their hearts veils lest they understand it, and in their ears heaviness, and though they see any sign they will not believe therein: in as much as when they come to thee, they dispute with thee. Then who disbelieve say: this is naught but the fables of the ancients.


tafseer:
And they prohibit others therefrom, and they withdraw therefrom, and they destroy not but their own souls while they perceive not.


tafseer:
And couldst thou see what time they shall be held over the Fire, and then they will say: would that we were sent back and now we shall not belie the signs of our Lord and we shall be of the believers.


tafseer:
Yea! manifest hath become unto them that which they were erst wont to hide. And were they sent back they would surely return to that which was prohibited to them, and verily they are perfect liars.


tafseer:
And couldst thou see what time they shall be held before their Lord? He will say: is this not real? They will say: aye! by our Lord! He will say: taste then the torment for ye have been disbelieving.


tafseer:
Lost surely are those who belie their meeting with Allah, until when the Hour cometh on them on a sudden, and they will say: woe betide us, that we neglected it! - the while they will be bearing their burthens on their backs. Lo! vile is that which they shall bear.


tafseer:
And naught is the life of world but a play and a sport, and surely the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear. Reflect then ye not?


tafseer:
And apostles have assuredly been belied before thee, but they patiently bare that wherefore they were belied, and they were hurt, until Our succour came to them. And none can change the words of Allah


tafseer:
And if their backsliding is hard unto thee, then seek out, if thou canst, an opening into the earth or a ladder to the heaven that thou mayst bring unto them a sign. And had Allah willed, He would have assembled them unto the guidance


tafseer:
Only those respond who hearken. And as to the dead, Allah will raise them, and thereafter unto Him they shall be returned.


tafseer:
And they say: wherefore is not a sign sent down upon him from his Lord? Say thou: verily Allah is able to send down a sign, howbeit most of them know not.


tafseer:
And there is not an animal on the earth nor a fowl that flieth with its two wings but are communities like unto you. And We have not been remiss in respect of aught in the Book: then unto their Lord they shall be gathered.


tafseer:
And those who belie our signs are deaf and dumb, in darkness. Whomsoever Allah willeth He sendeth astray, and whomsoever He willeth He putteth on the right path.


tafseer:
Say thou: look ye now, were Allah´s torment to come upon you, or the Hour come upon you, would ye then cry unto other than Allah, if ye are truthful?


tafseer:
Aye! unto Him alone ye would cry, and He would remove that where for ye cried unto Him, if He will, and ye would forget that which ye associate.


tafseer:
Wherefore then did they not, when the affliction from us came upon them, humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and the Satan made fair-seeming unto them that which they were wont to do.


tafseer:
Then when they forgot that whereof they were reminded We opened upon them the doors of everything, until when they boasted of that which they were given, We laid hold of them on a sudden, and lo! they were dumbfounded.


tafseer:
Then the people who committed wrong were cut off completely. And all praise is unto Allah, the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
Say thou: look ye were Allah to take away your hearing and your sight and seal up your hearts, what god, other than Allah, shall bring them unto you? Behold! how variously We propound the signs, yet they turn aside.


tafseer:
Say thou look ye now, were Allah´s torment to come upon you on a sudden or openly, would there be destroyed any but the wrong- doers?


tafseer:
And We send not the sent ones except as bearers of glad tidings and warners. Then whosoever believeth and amendeth, on such shell come no fear nor they shall grieve.


tafseer:
Say thou: I say not unto you, that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor I know the Unseen, nor say unto you that I am an angel


tafseer:
And warn thou therewith those who fear that they shall be gathered unto their Lord, when there shall be for them no patron nor intercessor beside Him


tafseer:
And drive not away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His countenance. Not on thee is aught of their reckoning, nor on them aught of thine reckoning, so that thou mayest drive them away and thus become of the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And Thus We have tried some of them by means of others, that they might say: are those they whom God hath favoured amongst us? Is not Allah the Best Knower of the thankful?


tafseer:
Say thou: verily I am forbidden to worship those whom ye call upon beside Allah. Say thou: I shall not follow your vain desires, for then I shall be gone astray, and shall not remain of the guided.


tafseer:
Say thou: if that which ye fain would hasten on be with me, the affair would have been decided between me and you


tafseer:
And He it is who taketh your souls by night, and knoweth that which ye earn by day. Then He raiseth you therein, that there may be fulfilled the term allotted. Thereafter unto Him shall be your return


tafseer:
And He is the supreme over His creatures, and He sendeth guardians over you until when death cometh unto one of you Our messengers take his soul, and they fail not.


tafseer:
Then they all shall be taken back unto Allah, their true Master. Lo! His shall be the judgement. And he is the Most Swift of reckoners.


tafseer:
Say thou: who delivereth you from the darknesses of the land and the sea, when ye cry unto Him in humility and in secrecy: if He delivered us from this, we shall surely be of the thankful?


tafseer:
Say thou: He is Able to stir up torment on you from above you or from beneath your feet or to confound you by factions and make you taste the violence of one anot her. Behold! how variously We propound the signs that haply they may understand.


tafseer:
And when thou seest those who plunge in Our revelations keep away from them until they plunge in a discourse other than that


tafseer:
And naught on their account shall be on those who fear but admonition that haply they also may become God-fearing.


tafseer:
And let those alone who have taken their religion as a play and a sport and whom the life of the world hath beguiled. And admonish thou them therewith lest a soul be given up to perdition for that which it hath earned, when for him there shall be no friend or intercessor beside Allah, and when if he offer every equivalent it shall not be accepted of him. Those are they who are given up to perdition for that which they have earned. For them shall be drink of boiling water and a torment afflictive, for they were wont to disbelieve.


tafseer:
Say thou: shall we call upon, beside Allah, that which can neither profit us nor hurt us, and shall we turn on our heels after Allah hath guided us, like unto one whom the Satans have be guiled to wander bewildered in the land, his : fellows calling him unto the right path: come unto us? Say thou: verily the guidance of Allah, that is the Guidance, and we are commanded to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
And it is He who hath created the heavens and the earth in truth. And the Day when He saith: be, it shall become. His saying is the Reality. And His will be the dominion the Day the Trumpet will be blown. Knower of the Unseen and the seen, is the Wise, the Aware.


tafseer:
And recall what time Ibrahim said unto his father Azar: takest thou idols for gods! Verily I see thee and thy people in error manifest.


tafseer:
And in this wise We showed unto Ibrahim the governance of the heavens and the earth, and that he might become of the convinced.


tafseer:
Then when the night darkened on him, he beheld a star. He said: this is mine Lord. Then when it set, he said. I love not the setting ones.


tafseer:
Then when he beheld the moon uprise, he said: this is mine Lord. Then when it set, he said: were it not that my Lord kept me guiding, surely I must have been of the erring people.


tafseer:
Verily I have set my countenance towards Him who hath created the heavens and the earth, upright, and am not of the associaters.


tafseer:
And how should I fear that which ye have associated, while ye fear not to have associated with Allah that for which He hath sent down unto you no warranty? Which, then, of the two parties, is more worthy of security, if ye but knew?


tafseer:
It is those who believe and confound not their belief with wrong doing. These! theirs is the security and they are the guided.


tafseer:
And this was Our argument which We vouchsafed unto Ibrahim against his people. We raise in degrees whomsoever We list


tafseer:
And We bestowed upon him Is-haq and Ya´qub: each one We guided. And Nuh We had guided afore, and of his progeny Da-ud and Sulaiman and Ayyub and Yusuf and Musa and Harun. And thus We recompense the well-doers.


tafseer:
And also some of their fathers and their progeny and their brethren: We chose them and guided them onto the right path.


tafseer:
This is the guidance of Allah whereby He guideth whomsoever of His bondmen He listeth. And if they had associated, to naught would have come all that they were wont to work.


tafseer:
Those are they unto whom We vouchsafed the Book and judgement and prophethood. Wherefore if those disbelieve therein, We have surely entrusted its unto a people who are not disbelievers therein.


tafseer:
Those are they whom Allah had guided, so follow thou their guidance, Say thou: no hire I ask therefor


tafseer:
And they estimated not Allah with an estimation due unto Him when they said: on no human being hath God sent down aught. Say thou: who sent down the Books wherewith Musa came, a light and a guidance unto mankind, which ye have made into separate parchments. Some of it ye disclose and much thereof ye conceal. And ye were taught that which ye knew not: neither ye nor your fathers. Say thou: Allah, and let them alone, sporting in their vain discourse.


tafseer:
And this is a Book We have sent down, blest, and confirming that which hath been before it. And it is sent that thou mayest warn thereby the mother of towns and those around it. And those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they guard their prayer.


tafseer:
And who is a greater wrong-doer than one who fabricateth a lie against Allah, or saith: a Revelation hath came to me, whereas no Revelation hath come to him in aught, and one who saith: I shall send down the like of that which God hath sent down? Would that thou souldst see what time the wrong-doers are in the pangs of death while the angels are stretching forth their hands saying: yield up your souls


tafseer:
And now ye are come unto us singly even as We had created you for the first time, and ye have left behind your backs that which We had granted unto you, and We see not along with you your intercessors who ye fancied were Our associates in respect of you as ye asserted. Now are the ties betwixt you severed and strayed from you is that which ye were wont to assert.


tafseer:
Verily Allah is the Cleaver of the seed-grain and the date- stone. He bringeth forth the living from the lifeless, and He is the Bringer-forth of the lifeless from the living. Such is Allah: whither away then are ye deviating?


tafseer:
And it is He who hath appointed for you the stars that ye may be guided thereby in the darknesses of the land and the sea. Surely We have expounded the signs unto a people who know.


tafseer:
And it is He who hath produced you from one person, and thenceforth provided for you an abode and a depository. Surely We have expounded the signs unto a people who understand.


tafseer:
And it is He who hath sent down rain from heaven and We have thereby brought forth growth of every kind, and thereout We have brought forth green stalks from which We bring forth close-growing seed- grain. And from the date-stone: from the spathe thereof come forth clusters of dates lowhanging


tafseer:
And they have set up the genii as associates unto Allah, whereas He hath created them and they impute unto Him falsely without knowledge, sons and daughters. Hallowed be He, far above that which they ascribe!


tafseer:
Originator of the heavens and the earth! How should He have a son when there is for Him no spouse? And He hath created everything and He is Knower of everything.


tafseer:
Such is Allah, your Lord, There is no god but He, the Creator of everything: so worship Him. And He is unto everything a Trustee.


tafseer:
Surely there hath come unto you enlightenment from your Lord. Whosoever then shall see shall do so for his own soul, and whosoever blindeth himself shall do so to his own hurt. And say thou I am not over you a guardian.


tafseer:
And Thus We variously propound the revelation, and this is in order that they may say: thou hast studied, and that We may expound it to a people who know.


tafseer:
And had Allah willed, they had not associated. And We have not made thee a guardian over them nor art thou unto them a trustee.


tafseer:
Revile not those whom they invoke besides Allah, lest they may spitefully revile Allah without knowledge. Thus fair-seeming unto every community We have made their work. Then unto their Lord is their return, and then He will declare unto them that which they were wont to work.


tafseer:
And they swear by God with thee their solemn oaths that if there came unto them a sign they would surely believe therein. Say thou: signs are but with Allah


tafseer:
And We shall turn aside their hearts and their eyesights, even as they believed not therein for the first time and We shall let them wander in their exorbitance perplexed.


tafseer:
And even thou We had sent down angels unto them, and the dead had spoken to them, and We had gathered together about them everything face to face, they were not such as could believe, unless Allah had so willed, but most of them speak ignorantly.


tafseer:
And in this wises have we appointed unto every prophet an enemy-- Satans of men and of genii inspiring to each other gilded speech as a delusion. And had thy Lord willed, they could not have done so


tafseer:
Say thou: shall I then seek as judge other than Allah, when it is He who hath sent down toward you the Book detailed? And those whom We vouchsafed the book know that it hath been revealed by thy Lord in truth


tafseer:
And perfected is the word of thy Lord in veracity and in justice. And none can change His words. And He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
Wherefore eat of that whereon the name of Allah hath been pronounced, if ye are believers in His revelations.


tafseer:
And what aileth you that ye should not eat that whereon the name of Allah hath been pronounced while He hath surely detailed unto you that which He hath forbidden you, unless ye are driven thereto? Verily many lead others astray by their desires without knowledge. Verily thy Lord! He knoweth best the transgressors.


tafseer:
Is he who was dead, and We quickened him and appointed for him a light whereby he walketh among mankind, like unto him whose similitude is that he is in darknesses forth from which he cannot come? Even so is made fair-seeming to the infidels that which they are wont to do.


tafseer:
And even so we set up in every town the great ones as its sinners, that they may plot therein. And they plot not but against themselves, and they perceive not.


tafseer:
And whensoever there cometh unto them a sign, they say: we shall not believe until we are vouchsafed the like of that which is vouchsafed unto the apostles of Allah. Allah knoweth best wheresoever to place His apostleship. Anon shall befall those who have sinned vileness before Allah and severe chastisement for that which they were wont to plot.


tafseer:
And this is the path of thine Lord, straight. We have surely detailed the revelations unto a people who would be admonished.


tafseer:
On the Day whereon He will gather them all together: O ye race of genii! surely much ye have gotten out of mankind. And their friends among mankind will say: our Lord! much use some of us made of others, and now we have reached the appointed term which Thou appointedest for us. He will say: the Fire shall be your habitation, therein ye shall be as abiders, save as Allah may will. Verily thy Lord is Wise, Knowing.


tafseer:
And thus We shall keep some of the wrong-doers close to others for that which they were wont to earn.


tafseer:
O ye race of genii and mankind came there not apostles unto you from amongst you recounting unto you My signs and warning you of your meeting of this Day? They will say: we bear witness against ourselves. The life of the world hath deluded them, and they shall bear witness against themselves that verily they had been infidels.


tafseer:
This is because thy Lord is not one to destroy a town for its wrong-doing while its people are unaware.


tafseer:
For all there will be degrees in accordance with that which they did, and thy Lord is not unaware of that which they do.


tafseer:
And thine Lord is Self-sufficient, the Owner of mercy. If He will, He can take you away, and make those succeed you, after you, whomsoever He will, even as He raised you from the seed of anot her people.


tafseer:
Say thou. O my people! go on acting in your way, verily I am going to act in my way, presently ye shall know whose will be the happy end of the abode


tafseer:
And they´ll appoint for Allah, of the tilth and cattle He hath produced, a portion, they say according to their fancy: this is for Allah, and: this for our associate-gods. Then, that which is for their associate-gods reacheth not Allah, while that which is for Allah reacheth their associate-gods


tafseer:
And even so their associate-gods have made fair seeming unto many of the associaters the slaying of their offspring, so that they may cause them to perish and that they may confound unto them their religion. And had Allah so willed, they would not have done it. Wherefore let thou alone them and that which they fabricate.


tafseer:
And they say according to their fancy: such cattle and tilth are taboo none shall eat thereof save whom we allow, and there are cattle whose backs are forbidden, and cattle over which they pronounce not the name of Allah : a fabrication against Him Anon He shall requite them for that which they were wont to fabricate.


tafseer:
And they say: whatsoever is in the bellies of such cattle is for our males alone and is forbidden unto our wives, and if it be born dead, then they all are partakers thereof. Anon He shall requite them for their attribution verily He is Wise, Knowing.


tafseer:
Surely lost are they who slay their offspring foolishly and without knowledge, and have forbidden that which Allah had provided for them: a fabrication against Allah: surely they have strayed and have not become guided ones.


tafseer:
And it is He who hath produced gardens, trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm and the corn of varied produce, and the olives and the pomegranates alike and unlike. Eat of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and give the due thereof on the day of its harvesting


tafseer:
And of the cattle He hath created beasts of burden and small ones. Eat of that which Allah hath provided for you


tafseer:
He hath created eight pairs of the sheep a twain, and of the goats a twain. Say thou: is it the two males He hath forbidden or the two females, or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Declare unto me with knowledge, if ye are truth-tellers.


tafseer:
And of the camels He hath created a twain and of the oxen a twain. Say thou: is it the two males He hath forbidden or the two females, or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Were ye present when Allah enjoined this on you? Who then doth greater wrong than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah that he may lead people astray


tafseer:
Say thou: I find not in that which hath been revealed unto me aught forbidden unto an eater that eateth thereof, except it be carcass, or blood poured forth, or flesh of swine, for that verily is foul, or an abomination over which is invoked the name of other than that of Allah. Then whosoever is driven thereto, neither lusting nor transgressing, verily thy Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
So if they belie thee, say thou: Your Lord is Owner of extensive mercy, and His wrath shall not be turned aside from the guilty people,


tafseer:
Say thou: with Allah resteth the argument evident. Wherefore, had He so willed, He would have guided you all.


tafseer:
Say thou: here with your witnesses, those who will testify that Allah hath forbidden all this. Then even if they testify, testify thou not with them. And follow thou not the desires of those who belie Our signs and those who believe not in the Hereafter while they equalise others with their Lord.


tafseer:
Say thou: come, I shall recite that which your Lord hath forbidden unto you: associate not aught with Him, and shew kindness unto the parents, and slay not your offspring for fear of want - We it is who shall provide for you and them -and approach not indecencies, whatsoever is open thereof and whatsoever is concealed, and slay not anyone whom Allah hath forbidden except for justification. Thus He enjoineth you that haply ye may reflect.


tafseer:
And approach not the substance of an orphan save with that which is best until he attaineth his age of strength, and fill up the measure and balance with equity- We burthen not a soul except according to its capacity and when ye speak, be fair, even though it be against a kinsman


tafseer:
Then unto Musa We vouchsafed the Book perfect for him who would do well and detailing every thing and a guidance and a mercy, that haply in the meeting of their Lord they would believe.


tafseer:
And this is a Book We have sent down, blest, follow it then and fear God, haply ye may be shewn mercy.


tafseer:
Lest ye should say: the Book was only sent down to the two sects before us, and we in sooth were unaware of their readings.


tafseer:
Or lest ye should say. if only the Book had been sent down to us, we should surely have been better guided than they. So now surely there hath come unto you an evidence from Your Lord and a guidance and a mercy. Who then doth greater wrong than he who belieth the signs of Allah and shunneth them? Anon We will requite those who shun Our signs with an evil torment in as much as they were wont to shun them.


tafseer:
They await indeed that the angel should come unto them, or that thy Lord should come or that certain of the signs of thy Lord should come. On the Day whereon certain of the signs of thy Lord will come, belief will not profit any person who had not believed theretofore or had not earned any good by his belief. Say thou: so wait ye verily we also are waiting.


tafseer:
Verily those who have split their religion and become sects, thou art not amongst them in aught: their affair is only with Allah. Then He will declare unto them that which they were wont to do.


tafseer:
Whosoever will come with a virtue for him shall be then like thereof, and whosoever will come with a vice shall not be requited save with the like thereof


tafseer:
Say thou as for me, my Lord hath guided me unto a straight path, a right religion, the faith of Ibrahim, the upright, and he was not of the associaters.


tafseer:
Say thou: verily my prayer and my rites and my living and my dying are all for Allah, Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
Say thou: shall seek a Lord other than Allah, while He is the Lord of everything? And no person earneth aught save against himself, and no bearer of burden shall bear anot her´s burden. Thereafter Unto your Lord shall be your return, and He will declare unto you that wherein ye have been disputing.


tafseer:
And He it is Who hath made you successors in the earth, and hath raised some of you over others in degrees, that he might prove you by that which He hath vouchsafed unto you. Verily thy Lord is swift in chastising, and verily He is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
This is a Book sent down toward thee: so let there be no straitness in thy breast therefor: that thou mayest warn thereby! and this is an admonition unto the believers.


tafseer:
And how many a township We have destroyed, upon them Our violence came at night or while they were taking their midday rest.


tafseer:
Then naught was their cry a when Our violence came upon them save that they said: verily we have been the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
Then We will surely question those to whom were the messengers sent, and We will surely question the sent ones.


tafseer:
And the weighing on that Day is certain, then whosesoever balances will be heavy, those! they shall fare well.


tafseer:
And whosesoever balances will be light - those are they who have lost themselves in respect of Our signs.


tafseer:
And assuredly We created you, thereafter We fashioned you, and thereafter We said to the angels: prostrate yourselves before Adam


tafseer:
Allah said: what prevented thee, that thou shouldst not prostrate thyself, when I bade thee? He said. I am better than he


tafseer:
Then surely I will come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right and from their left, and Thou shalt not find the most of them thankful.


tafseer:
Allah said: go thou forth from hence, scorned, driven away. Whosoever of them followeth thee, I will of a surety fill Hell with you all.


tafseer:
And: O Adam: dwell thou and thy spouse in the Garden and eat ye twain thereof Whence ye will, and approach not yonder tree lest ye twain become of the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
Then the Satan whispered unto the twain in order that he might discover unto the twain that which lay hidden from the twain of their shame, and said: your Lord forbade you not vender tree but lest ye twain should become angels or become of the abiders.


tafseer:
Thus with guile he caused the twain to fall. Then when the twain had tasted of the tree, their shame was discovered to them, and the twain began to cover themselves with leaves from the Garden


tafseer:
The twain said. our Lord! we have wronged our souls, and if Thou forgivest us not and hath not mercy on us, we shall of a surety be of the losers.


tafseer:
Allah said: therein ye shall live and therein ye shall die, and therefrom ye shall be brought forth.


tafseer:
O Children of Adam! verily We have sent down unto you a garment covering your shame and as an adornment


tafseer:
O Children of Adam! let not the Satan tempt you even as he drave forth your parents from the Garden, divesting the twain of their garment that he might discover unto the twain their shame. Verily he beholdeth you, he and his tribe, in such wise that ye behold them not. Verily We have made the Satans patrons of those only who believe not.


tafseer:
And when they commit an indecency, they say: we found our fathers thereon, and God hath enjoined it on us. Say thou. verily Allah enjoineth not an indecency


tafseer:
A part He hath guided, and upon a part the straying hath been justified. Verily they have taken the Satans as patrons instead of Allah and they imagine that they are guided ones.


tafseer:
Say thou: who hath forbidden the adornment which Allah hath produced for His servants and the clean things of food? Say thou: these on the Day of Judgement, shall be for those alone who in the life of this world have believed. Thus We expound the signs unto a people who know.


tafseer:
Say thou: my Lord hath only forbidden indecencies the open thereof and the hidden thereof, and sin, and high-handedness without justice, and ye associate aught with Allah, for which He hath sent down no warranty, and that ye speak falsely of Allah that which ye know not.


tafseer:
O Children of Adam! if there come unto you apostles from amongst you recounting My signs unto you, then whosoever shall fear God and amend, on them no fear shall come nor they shall grieve.


tafseer:
And those who shall belie Our signs and shall be stiff- necked against them--they shall be fellows of the Fire


tafseer:
Who doth greater wrong than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah or belieth His sign? These: their full portion from the Book shall reach them until when Our messengers come unto them causing them to die, and say: where is that which ye were wont to call upon beside Allah? They will say: they have strayed from us. And they shall testify against themselves that they have been infidels.


tafseer:
Allah will say. enter the Fire among the communities who have passed away before you, of genii and mankind. So oft as a community will enter it, it shall curse its sister, until, when all shall have arrived one after anot her therein, the last of them shall say of the first of them: our Lord! these led us astray


tafseer:
Verily those who belie Our signs and are stiff-necked against them, for them will not be opened the portals of heaven, nor shall they enter the Garden until a camel passeth through the eye of a needle. And Thus We requite the guilty ones.


tafseer:
And those who believed and worked righteous works-We burthen not a soul except according to its capacity, they shall be fellows of the Garden


tafseer:
And We shall extract whatsoever of rancour there may be in their breasts, rivers flowing beneath them, and they will say all praise unto Allah who hath guided us onto this


tafseer:
And the fellows of the Garden shall cry unto the fellows of the Fire: surely we have found true that which our Lord had promised us


tafseer:
Those who turned away from the way of Allah and would seek to render it crooked and in the Herafter they were disbelievers.


tafseer:
And betwixt the twain there will be a veil, and, on the heights will be men recognising them all by their mark, and they will cry unto the fellows of the Garden


tafseer:
And when their eyes Will be turned toward the fellows of the Fire, they will say: our Lord! place us not with these wrong-doing people.


tafseer:
And the fellows of the heights will cry unto the men whom they would recognise by their mark, and say: your multitude availed you naught nor that over which ye were wont to be stiff-necked.


tafseer:
Are these the ones of whom ye sware that Allah would not reach them with His mercy? Unto them it hath been said enter the Garden


tafseer:
And the fellows of the Fire will cry unto the fellows of the Garden: pour out on us water or aught wherewith Allah hath provided you. They will say verily Allah hath forbidden it unto infidels.


tafseer:
Who took their religion as a sport and a play and whom the life of the world beguiled. So today We will forget them even as they forget the meeting of this their Day and as they were ever gainsaying Our signs.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have brought unto them a book which We have detailed according to knowledge a guidance and, mercy unto a people who believe.


tafseer:
They await only its fulfilment. The Day whereon the fulfilment thereof arriveth, those who were negligent thereof afore shall say: surely the apostles of our Lord brought the truths


tafseer:
Verily your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself on the Throne, making the night cover the day, seeking it swiftly, and created the sun and the moon and the stars subjected to service by His command. Lo! His is the creation and the command. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
And act not corruptly in the earth after the good ordering thereof, and call on Him fearing and longing


tafseer:
And it is He who sendeth forth the heralding winds before His mercy, until when they have carried a heavy-laden cloud We drive it unto a dead land and send down rain thereby and bring forth thereby all kinds of fruits. In this wise We will raise the dead


tafseer:
I preach unto you the messages of my Lord and I councel you good, and I know from Allah which ye know not.


tafseer:
Marvel ye that an admonition from your Lord should come unto you upon a man from amongst yourselves, in order that the may warn you and that ye may fear, and that haply ye may be shewn mercy?


tafseer:
The chiefs of those who disbelived among his people said: verily we see thee in folly, and verily we deem thee to be of the liars.


tafseer:
Marvel ye that an admonition from your Lord should come unto you upon a Man from amongst you in order that he may warn you? Remember what time He made you successors after the people, of Nuh, and increased you amply in stature Remember the benefits of Allah, that haply ye may fare well.


tafseer:
They said: art thou come unto us that we should worship God alone and leave that which our fathers were wont to worship? Bring thou then upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us if thou sayest sooth.


tafseer:
He said: surely there have befallen you wrath and indignation from your Lord. Dispute ye with me over names ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath sent down no warranty? Wait then


tafseer:
Then We delivered him and those with him by a mercy from Us, and We utterly cut off those who belied Our signs, and would not be believers.


tafseer:
And unto Thamud We sent their brother, Salih He said: my people! worship Allah, no god ye have but He


tafseer:
The chiefs of those who were stiff-necked amongst His people said unto those who were counted weak -unto such of them as believed: know ye that Salih is a sent one of his Lord? They said: verily we are believers in that wherewith he hath been sent.


tafseer:
Then they hamstrung the she camel and disdained the commandment of their Lord, and said: Salih! bring upon us that wherewith thou hast threatened us if thou art in sooth of the sent ones.


tafseer:
Then he turned from them, and said: O my people! assuredly delivered unto you the messages of my Lord, and counselled you good, but ye approve not the good counsellors.


tafseer:
And We sent Lut, when he said unto his people: commit ye an indecency wherewith none hath preceded you in the worlds?


tafseer:
And naught was the answer of his people save that they said: drive themforth from your city, verily they are a people who would be pure!


tafseer:
And unto Madyan We sent their brother Shu´aib. He said: O my people! worship Allah, no god ye have buthe


tafseer:
And beset not every highway menacing and turning aside from the path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking to make it crooked. And remember when ye were small, and He thereafter multiplied you


tafseer:
And if there be a party of you who believeth in that wherewith I am sent and a party who believeth not, then have patience until Allah judgeth between us, and He is the Best of judges.


tafseer:
The chiefs of those who were stiff-necked amongst his people said: surely we shall drive you forth, Shu´aib! and those who have believed with thee from our city, or else ye shall return unto our faith. He said: what! even though we be averse!


tafseer:
We must have been fabricating a lie against Allah if we returned to your faith after Allah hath delivered us therefrom. And it is not for us to return thereunto except that Allah our Lord so willed


tafseer:
And the chiefs of those who disbelieved amongst his people said: should ye follow Shu´aib, lo! verily ye will be the losers.


tafseer:
Then he turned from them, and said: my people! assuredly I delivered unto you the messages of my Lord, and counselled you good


tafseer:
And We sent not a prophet to any township but We laid hold of the people thereof with tribulation and distress that haply they may humble themselves.


tafseer:
Thereafter We substituted ease in place of adversity until they abounded and said: even Thus tribulation and prosperity touched our fathers. Then We laid hold of them of a sudden, while they perceived not.


tafseer:
And had the people of those townships believed and feared, We would of a surety have opened up to them blessings from the heavens and the earth


tafseer:
Are the people of the townships then secure that Our wrath would not come upon them at night while they are slumbering?


tafseer:
Or, are the people of the township secure that Our wrath would not come upon them by daylight while they are disporting themselves?


tafseer:
Are then they secure against the contrivance of Allah? And none feeleth secure against the contrivance of Allah except the people who are losers.


tafseer:
Guideth it not those who inherit the land after the people thereof, that, had We willed, We would have afflicted them for their sins? And We have put a seal upon their hearts, so that they hearken not.


tafseer:
Those townships! We recount unto thee some tidings thereof. Assuredly there came unto them their apostles with evidences, but they were not such as to believe that which they had erst belied. Thus doth Allah put a seal upon the hearts of the infidels.


tafseer:
Then We sent, after them, Musa with Our signs unto Fir´awn and his chiefs, but they wronged them. Behold that wise was the end of the corrupters!


tafseer:
And the magicians came unto Fir´awn. They said: surely there is for us a reward if we are the overcomers.


tafseer:
He said: cast ye. Then when they cast clown, they enchanted the eyes of the people, and terrified them and brought mighty magic to bear.


tafseer:
And we revealed unto Musa: cast down thy rod. And lo! it Was swallowing up that which they had feigned.


tafseer:
Fir´awn said: ? believed ye in him ere I have given you leave? Verily this is a plot ye have plotted in the city that ye may drive forth the people thereof So presently ye shall know.


tafseer:
Surely I will cut off your hands and feet on the opposite sides and thereafter I will crucify you all.


tafseer:
And what is it for which thou takest vengeance on us save that we have believed in the signs of our Lord when they came unto us? Our Lord! pour out upon us perseverance and cause us to die as Muslims.


tafseer:
And the chiefs of the people of Fir´awn said: wilt thou leave alone Musa and his people to act corruptly in the land and to leave alone thee and thy gods! He said: soon we shall slay their sons and let live their women, and we are masters over them.


tafseer:
They said: oppressed we have been ere thou camest unto us and since thou hast come unto us. He said: belike your Lord will destroy your enemy and establish yougs in their stead in the land, thathe may see what wise ye act.


tafseer:
And assuredly We laid hold of the people of Fir´awn with lean years and lack of fruits, that haply they might dread.


tafseer:
So whenever good-hap came unto them, they would say: ours is this. And if a mishap afflicted them, they would lay it to the evil augury of Musa and these with him. Behold! their evil augury was only with Allah, but most of them knew not.


tafseer:
And they said: whatsoever thou mayest bring unto us of the nature of a sign wherewith to enchant us, in thee we are not going to be believers


tafseer:
Thereafter We sent upon them the flood, and the locusts, and the lice, and the frogs, and the blood: signs detailed


tafseer:
And whensoever a plague fell on them, they said: O Musa! supplicate thy Lord for us, by that which He hath covenanted with thee


tafseer:
Then whensoever We removed the plague from them, till a term which they were to reach, lo! they were breaking faith.


tafseer:
Wherefore We took vengeance on them and drowned them in the sea, for they belied Our signs and were neglectful of them.


tafseer:
And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern parts of the land, and the western parts thereof, which We had blest. And fulfilled was the good word of thy Lord unto the Children of Isra´il´ for they were long-suffering, and We destroyed that which Fir´awn and his people had builded and that which they had raised.


tafseer:
And We led the Children of Isra´il across the sea. Then they came upon a people cleaving to the idols they had. T´hev said: Musa! make for us a god even as they have gods. He said: verily ye are a people given to ignorance.


tafseer:
Verily these! destroyed is that wherein they are engaged and vain is that which they have been doing.


tafseer:
He said: shall I seek for you a god other than Allah, whereas He hath preferred you above the worlds?


tafseer:
And recall what time We delivered you from the house of Fir´awn perpetrating on you terrible torment, slaying your sons and letting your women live, and therein was a trial from your Lord, tremendous.


tafseer:
And when Musa came at Our appointment, and his Lord spake unto him, he said my Lord! shew Thyself unto me, that I may look at Thee! He said: thou canst not see Me: but look at the yonder mount


tafseer:
And We wrote for him in the tablets of everything an exhortation, and and a detail of everything. So hold thou fast with firmness, and bid thy people follow the best thereof anonl will shew you the dwelling of the ungodly people.


tafseer:
I shall turn away from My signs those who are big with pride on the earth, without justice, and although they may see every sign, they will not believe therein


tafseer:
And those who belie Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter- vain shall be their Work. They shall be requited not save for that which they wrought.


tafseer:
And ehe people of Musa, after him, took of their trinkets a calf: a body with a low. Saw they not that it spake nor unto them nor could guide them to a way? They took it, and became wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And when they repented and saw that they had strayed, they said: if our Lord have not mercy on us and forgive us not, we shall surely be of the losers.


tafseer:
And when Musa returned unto his people indignant and sorrowing, he said: ill is that which ye have acted as my successors, after me Anticipated ye the command of you Lord! And he cast down the tablets and took hold of the head of his brother dragging him unto himself. Aaron said: son of my mother! the people held me weak and well- nigh slew me, so cause not the enemies rejoice over me, and place me not with the wrong-doing people


tafseer:
Musa said: O Lord! forgive me and my brother, and cause us twain to enter into Thy mercy, and Thou art the Most Merciful of the merciful.


tafseer:
Verily those who took the calf, anon will overtake them indignation from their Lord and abasement in the life of the World. Thus We require the fabricators.


tafseer:
And those who committed evils, and repented thereafter and believed --verily thy Lord is thereafter Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And when the indignation of Musa was appeased, he took up the tablets, and in the inscription thereon were guidance and mercy unto these who dread their Lord.


tafseer:
And Musa singled out of his people seventy men for Our appointment, then when the earthquake laid hold of them he said. O my Lord! hadst Thou willed, Thou wouldst have destroyed them afore and me also. wilt Thou destroy Us for that which the foolish ones amongst us have done! lt is only thy trial, whereby thou sendest astray whomsoever Thou wilt and keepest guided whomsoever Thou wilt. Thou art our patron. So forgive us Thou and have mercy on us


tafseer:
Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered prophet. Whom they find written down with them in the Taurat and the Injil


tafseer:
Say thou : O mankind! verily I am the apostle of Allah unto you all- of Him whose is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. No god is there but he


tafseer:
And We cut them up into twelve tribes as communities. And We revealed unto Musa, when his people asked him for drink: Smite the rock with thy rod. Then gushed forth therefrcm twelve springs: every people already knew their drinking-places. And We shaded them with thick clouds, and We sent down upon them the manna and the quails, saying: eat of the clean things wherewith We have provided you. And they wronged not Us, but themselves they were wont to wrong.


tafseer:
And recall what time it was said unto them: dwell in yonder town and eat plentifully therefrom an ye list, and say: fergiveness, and enter the gate bowing


tafseer:
Then those of them who did wrong changed the word that had been told them for anot her, whereupon We sent upon them a scourge from the heaven for they were wont to transgress.


tafseer:
And ask thou them concerning the town that was close on the sea, when they transgressed in the matter of the sabt, when their fish came unto them openly on their sabt day, while they came not on the day whereon they kept not We proved them for the sabt.Thus they were wont to transgress.


tafseer:
And recall what time a community of them said Why exhort ye a people whom Allah is going to destroy or chastise with a severe chastisenent They said: to justify us before your Lord, and that haply they may fear.


tafseer:
Then when they forgot that wherewith they had been exhorted, We delivered those who restrained from evil, and We laid hold of those who did wrong with a distressing torment for they were wont to transgress.


tafseer:
So when they exceeded the bounds of that which they were prohibited We said unto them: be ye apes despised.


tafseer:
And recall what time thy Lord proclaimed that he would surely raise upon them, till the Day of Resurrection, someone perpetrating upon them worst oppression. Verily thy Lord is swift in chastising, and verily He is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And those who hold fast by the Book and establish prayer-- verily We shall not waste the hire of the rectifiers.


tafseer:
And recall what time We shook the mountain over them as though it were a canopy, and they imagined that it was going to fall on them


tafseer:
And recall what time thy Lord took from the children of Adam their posterity from their backs, and made them testify as to them selves saying: am I not your lord? They said: Yea! we testify.That was lest ye should say on the Day of Resurrection verily of this we have been unaware.


tafseer:
Or lest ye should say: it Was only our fathers who associated afore, and we have been a posterity after them


tafseer:
And recite thou unto them the story of him Unto whom We vouchsafed Our signs, but he sloughed them off, wherefore the Satan followed him, and he became of the perverted.


tafseer:
And had We willed We would surely have lifted him thereby, but he clung to the earth and followed his desire, wherefore his case became like unto the case of a dog, who, if thou attackest him, lolleth out his tongue and if thou leavest him alone, lolleth out his tongue.Such is the likeness of the people who belie Our sign


tafseer:
Whomsoever Allah guideth, he is the rightly guided: and whomsoever He sendeth astray - those! they are the losers.


tafseer:
And of those whom We have created there is a community guiding others with truth and acting justly according thereto.


tafseer:
Look they not at the governance of the heaven and the earth and whatsoever Allah hath created of aught, and at the fact that their term may have drawn nigh? In what discourse then will they, thereafter, believe!


tafseer:
Whomsoever Allah sendeth astray, no guide is then for him, and He letteth them wander perplexed in their exorbitance.


tafseer:
They ask thee concerning the Hour, when will its coming be? Say thou: knowledge thereof is with my Lord only: none shall disclose it at its time buthe


tafseer:
He it is who created you from a single soul, and He created therefrom his spouse that he might find repose in her. Then when he covereth her she beareth a light burthen and fareth about there with


tafseer:
But when He vouchsafeth the twain a goodly child they set up unto Him associates in respect of that which He hath vouchsafed to them. Exalted be Allah far from that which they associate!


tafseer:
And if ye call them toward guidance they follow you not: it is the same to you whether ye call them or are silent.


tafseer:
Have they feet wherewith they wend? Have they hands wherewith they grip? Have they eyes wherewith they see? Have they ears wherewith they hearken? Say thou: call upon your associate gods, and then plot against me and respite me not.


tafseer:
And if ye Call them towards guidance they will not hear and thou wilt behold them looking at thee, but they see not.


tafseer:
Verily those who fear God when an instigation from the Satan toucheth them, they call to mind land lo! they are enlightened.


tafseer:
And whenever thou bringest not unto them, as a sign, they say: wherefore hast not thou selected it? Say thou: I only follow that which hath been revealed unto me by my Lord. This is an enlightenment from your Lord and a guidance and a mercy unto a people who believe.


tafseer:
And remember thou thy Lord within thyself with humility and fear, without loudness in word, in the morning and evenings


tafseer:
Verily those who are with thy Lord are not stiff-necked against His woorship, and they hallow, and unto Him they prostrate themselves.


tafseer:
They ask thee concerning the spoils of war. Say thou: the spoils of war are Allah´s and the apostle´s. So fear Allah, and set right the matter among you, and obey Allah and His apostle if ye are believers.


tafseer:
The believers are only those whose hearts thrill with fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His revelations are rehearsed unto them, they increase their faith and who trust in their Lord.


tafseer:
Those: it is they who are the true believers. For them are degrees with their Lord and forgiveness and a provision honourable.


tafseer:
This is like what time thy Lord had caused thee to go forthfrom thy house for a right cause, while a party among the believers were averse.


tafseer:
Disputing with thee respecting the right cause after it had become manifest, as though they were led forth unto death while they looked on.


tafseer:
And recall what time Allah was promising you one of the two parties that it should be yours, and ye would fain to have that the one without


tafseer:
In order that he might justify the truth and falsify the false even though the guilty ones were averse.


tafseer:
And recall what time ye implored our Lord and He answered you: verily I am about to succour you with a thousand of angels rank in rank.


tafseer:
Recall what time He caused slumber to cover you as a security from Himself, and He sent down rain upon you from heaven that he might cleanse you thereby and take away from you the pollution of the Satan, and that he might gird up your hearts and make your feet firm thereby.


tafseer:
And recall what time thy Lord inspired the angels: verily I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! whenever ye those who disbelieve matching meet slowly turn to them not your backs.


tafseer:
And whosoever turneth his back to them on such a day, unless it be swerving to a fight or wriggling round to anot her company, hath surely drawn upon himself indignation from Allah, and his resort is Hell--an evil destination!


tafseer:
Wherefore ye slew them not, but Allah slew them, and thou thrtwest not, When thou threWest, but Allah threw, in order that he might prove the believers with a goodly proving from Him. Verily Allah is Hearing, Knowing.


tafseer:
If ye besought a judgement then surely a judgement hath come unto you. And if ye desist it Will be better for you


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! answer Allah and the apostle when he calleth you to that which quickeneth you, and know that verily Allah interposeth between a man and his heart, and that verily unto Him ye all shall be gathered.


tafseer:
And remember what time ye were few and downtrodden in the land fearing that the people would snatch you away


tafseer:
And know that your riches and your children are but a temptation, and that verily Allah: with Him is a mighty hire.


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! if ye fear Allah He will make for you a distinction and will expiate for you your misdeeds, and forgive you


tafseer:
And recall what time those who disbelieved were plotting against thee to confine thee or to slay thee or to drive thee forth: they were plotting and Allah was plotting, and Allah is the Best of plotters.


tafseer:
And recall what time they said: O God! if this indeed be the truth from before Thee, then rain down stones upon us from heaven or bring on us a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
And Allah is not one to chastise them whilst thou art in their midst, nor was Allah going to chastise them while they were asking forgiveness.


tafseer:
And what aileth them that Allah should not chastise them when they are hindering people from the Sacred Mosque, whereas they are not even the keepers thereof - its keepers are none but the God-fearing-- but most of them know not.


tafseer:
And naught was their prayer at the House but whistling and hand-clapping. Taste then the torment for ye were to disbelieve.


tafseer:
Verily those who disbelieve are expending their riches in order to hinder People from the way of Allah


tafseer:
Say thou unto those who have disbelieved: if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven them, and if they return, then already gone forth is the dispensation of the ancients.


tafseer:
And fight against them until there be no temptations and their obedience be wholly unto Allah. So if they desist, thens verily Allah is the Beholder of that which they do.


tafseer:
And know that whatsoever ye obtain of spoils then verily unto Allah belongeth a fifth thereof and unto the apostle and unto his kindreds and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer if ye indeed have believed in Allah and that which We sent down on our bondmans on the day of distinction, the day whereon the two hosts met. And Allah is over everything Potent.


tafseer:
And recall what time ye were on the hither side and they were on the yonder side and the caravan below you. And if ye had mutually appointed ye would surely have failed the appointment. But the action wao brought about in order that Allah may decree an affair already enacted, so that he who was to perish, should perish after an evidence and he who was to remain alive may remain alive after an evidence. And verily Allah is Hearing, Knowing.


tafseer:
And recall what time Allah shewed them few unto thee in thy dream. And had He shewn them numerous unto thee, surely ye would have flagged and surely ye would have disputed over the affair but Allah saved you. Verily He is the Knower of that which is in the breasts.


tafseer:
And recall what time He shewed them few in your eyes when ye met and lessened you in their eyes in order that Allah might decree an affair already enacted


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! when ye meet a party, stand firm and remember Allah much, that haply ye may fare well.


tafseer:
And obey Allah and His apostle, and dispute not, lest ye flag and your predominance depart, and be patient. Verily Allah is with the patient


tafseer:
And be not like unto those who came forth from their homes vaunting and to be seen of men and hindering others from the way of Allah


tafseer:
And recall what time the Satan made their works fair- seeming unto them and said: there is none of mankind to overcome you to- day, and verily I am your neighbour. Then when the two parties faced each other, he turned on his heels, and said: verily I am quit of you, verily I behold that which ye behold not


tafseer:
And recall what time the hypocrites and these in whose hearts was a disease said: their religion hath be gulfed those. And whosoever relieth on Allah then verily Allah is Mighty, Wise.


tafseer:
And couldst thou behold when the angels take away the life of those who disbelive striking their faces and their backs: taste the torment of burning.


tafseer:
This, because of that which your hands have sent forth, and verily Allah is never unjust unto His creatures.


tafseer:
Like are they unto the wont of the house of Fir´awn and those before them. They disbelieved in the signs of Allah, wherefore Allah laid hold of them for their sins. Verily Allah is strong, Severe in retribution.


tafseer:
This, because Allah is not one to change His favour wherewith He hath favoured a people until they have changed that which is in themselves


tafseer:
Like are they Unto the wont of the house of Fir´awn and those before them. They belied the signs of their Lord


tafseer:
Verily the vilest of moving creatures with Allah are those who disbelieve-wherefore they shall not believe-


tafseer:
Wherefore if thou over-takest them in war, disperse thou through them those behind them, that haply they may be admonished.


tafseer:
And shouldst thou fear treachery from any people cast back then unto them their covenant to be equal. Verily Allah approveth not the treacherous.


tafseer:
And get ready against them whatsoever ye can of force and wellfed horses whereby ye may overawe the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom ye know not Allah knoweth them. And whatsoever ye expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid to you in full


tafseer:
And if they seek to deceive thee, then verily Allah is sufficient unto thee. He it is who aided thee with His succour and with the believers.


tafseer:
And He united their hearts. Hadst thou expended all that is on the earth thou couldst not have united their hearts, but Allah united them


tafseer:
0 Prophet! urge the believers unto fighting. If there be twenty of you persevering, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred, they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, for they are a people who understand not.


tafseer:
Now Allah hath lightened your burden, and He knoweth that verily there is in you a weakness. So if there be a hundred of you persevering, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a thousand of you they will overcome two thousand, by the command of Allah and Allah is with the persevering.


tafseer:
It behoveth not a prophet that he should have captives until he hath greatly slaughtered in the land. Ye seek the gear of the world, while Allah seeketh the Hereafter


tafseer:
Were it not that a writ had already gone forth from Allah, there would surely have touched you a mighty torment for that which ye took


tafseer:
O Prophet! say Unto the captives who are in your hands: if Allah knoweth any good in Your hearts He will give you better than that which hath been taken away from you, and shall forgive you


tafseer:
And if they seek defrauding thee, then they have defrauded Allah before, yet he gave thee power over them


tafseer:
Verily those who believed and emigrated and strave hard in the way of Allah with their riches and lives´and those who sheltered and succoured: those shall be heirs unto one anot her. And those who believed but emigrated not, ye have naught of inheritance to do with them, unless they emigrate. And should they seek succour from you in the matter of religion, then incumbent on you is the succour, except against a people between whom and you there is a compact. And Allah is the Beholder of that which ye work.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve: they shall be heirs unto one anot her. if ye do this not, a sedition there will be in the land and a great corruption.


tafseer:
And those who believe and have emigrated and striven hard in the way of Allah, those who sheltered and succoured --these! they are the believers in very truth


tafseer:
And those who believed after wards and emigrated and strave hard along with you: these also are of you


tafseer:
Go about, then, in the land for four months. And know that verily ye cannot escape Allah, and that verily Allah is the humiliator of the infidels.


tafseer:
And a proclamation is this from Allah and His apostle unto the mankind on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah is quit of the associators, and so is His apostle. Wherefore if ye repent, it shall be better for you,but if ye turn away, then know that ye cannot escape Allah. And announce thou unto those who disbelieve a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
Except those of the associators with whom ye covenanted and they have not failed you in aught, nor have they backed up anyone against you


tafseer:
When, therefore, the sacred months have slipped away, slay the associators´s wheresoever ye find them and capture them and beset them and lie in wait for them at every ambush. Then, should they repent and establish prayer and give the poor-rate, leave their way free. Verily Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And should one of the associators seek protection of thee grant him protection, that he may hear the word of Allah,then let him reach his place of security. That is because they are a people who know not.


tafseer:
How can there be for the associators covenant with Allah.and His apostle save for those with whom ye covenanted near the Sacred Mosque? Act straight with them so long as they act straight with you. Verily Allah loveth the God-fearing.


tafseer:
How indeed! whereas if they get the better of you they respect not regarding you either kinship or agreement. They please you with their mouth, the while their hearts refuse


tafseer:
They have bartered the revelations of Allah for a small price, so they keep back from His path. Verily vile is that which they have been working.


tafseer:
If they repent and establish prayer and give the poor- rate, then they are your brethren-in-faith. And we detail the revelations unto a people who know.


tafseer:
And if they violate their oaths after their covenant and revile your religion, fight those leaders of infidelity-verily no oaths will hold in their case that haply they may desist.


tafseer:
Will ye not fight a people who have violate their oaths and resolved the expulsion of the apostle and who began against you for the first time? Fear ye them? Allah is more worthy that ye should fear Him, if ye are believers.


tafseer:
Fight them. Allah will torment them at your hands, and humiliate them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of the believing people.


tafseer:
Deem ye that ye would be left alone while yet Allah hath not known those of you who have striven hard and have not taken an ally besides Allah and His apostle and the believers? And Allah is Aware of that which ye work.


tafseer:
It is not for the associators that they shall tend Allah´s mosques, while giving evidence of infidelity against themselves. Those! vain shall be their works, and in the Fire they shall be abiders.


tafseer:
They only shall tend Allah´s mosques who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give the poor rate and fear none save Allah. Belike those will be of the guided ones.


tafseer:
Make ye the giving of drinks unto the pilgrims and the tendance of the Sacred Mosque like unto the conduct of one who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and striveth hard in the way of Allah! Equal they are not with Allah, and Allah guideth not the wrong-doing people.


tafseer:
Those who have believed and emigrated and have striven hard in the way of Allah with their riches and their lives are for higher in degree with Allah. Those! they are the achievers.


tafseer:
Their Lord giveth them glad tidings of a mercy from Him and of goodwill and of the Gardens wherein theirs will be a delight lasting:


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! take not your fathers and your brothers for friends if they love infidelity above faith. Whosoever of you then befriendeth them then those! they are the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
Say thou: if you fathers and your sons and your brothers and your wives and your family and the riches ye have acquired and the traffic wherein ye fear a slackening and the dwellings which please you are dearer unto you than Allah and His apostle and striving in His cause, then wait until Allah bringeth about His decree, and Allah guideth not the ungodly people.


tafseer:
Assuredly Allah hath succoured you on many fields and on the day of Hunain, When your number elated you


tafseer:
Thereafter Allah sent down His calm upon His apostle and upon the believers, and He sent down hosts ye saw not and tormented those who would disbelieve: such is the meed of the infidels.


tafseer:
Fight against those who believe not in Allah nor in the Last Day and hold not that forbidden which Allah and His apostle have forbidden and observe not the true religion, of those who have been vouchsafed the Book, until they pay the tribute out of hand and they are subdued.


tafseer:
They have taken their priests and their monks for their Lords besides God, and also the Masih son of Maryam


tafseer:
He it is who hath sent His apostle with the guidance and the true religion that he may make it prevail over all religions, although the associators may detest.


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! verily many of the priests and the monks devour the substances of men in falsehood and hinder People from the way of Allah. And those who treasure up gold and silver and expend them not in the way of Allah -announce thou unto them a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
On a Day whereon they Shall be heated in Hell-Fire, and therewith shall be branded their foreheads and their sides and their backs: this is that which ye treasured up for yourselves, so taste now that which ye have been treasuring up.


tafseer:
Verily the number of months with Allah is twelve months ordained in the writ of Allah on the day whereon He created the heavens and the earth


tafseer:
The postponement is but an addition unto infidelity, whereby the infidels are led astray, allowing it one year and forbidding it anot her year, that they may make up the number which Allah hath sanctified


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! what aileth you that when it is said unto you: march forth in the way of Allah, ye are weighed down earthward? Are ye pleased with the life of the world rather than the Hereafter? whereas the enjoyment of the life of the world by the side of the Hereafter is but little.


tafseer:
If ye march not forth, He will torment you with a torment afflictive, and will substitute for you a people-other than you


tafseer:
If ye succour him not, then surely Allah hath succoured him when these who disbelieved drave him: the second of the two When the twain were in a cave, and when he Said unto his companion. grieve not, verily Allah is with Us. Then Allah sent down His calm upon him and aided him with hosts whom ye saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved nethermost, and the word of Allah! that is the upper most. And Allah is Mighty, wise,


tafseer:
Were there a gear nigh and a journey moderate, they would have surely followed thee, but the distance seemed far unto them. And anon they will be swearing by Allah: if only we could we would surely have come forth with you. They destroy their own souls: and Allah knoweth that verily they are liars.


tafseer:
Allah pardon thee! why didst thou give them leave before it was manifest unto thee as to whosoever told the truth and thou hadst known the liars.


tafseer:
Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day would not ask thy leave to be excused from striving hard with their riches and their lives


tafseer:
It is only those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts doubt who ask thy leave, so in their doubt they are tossed to and fro.


tafseer:
Had they gene forth with you, they would have added unto you naught save unsoundness, and they would surely have hurried about in Your midst seeking sedition unto you


tafseer:
Assuredly they besought sedition afore and turned the affairs upside down for thee until the truth arrived and the decree of Allah prevailed, averse though they were.


tafseer:
And of them there is he who saith: give me leave, and tempt me not. Lo! into temptation they are already fallen, and verily the Hell is the encompasser of the infidels.


tafseer:
And naught preventeth their expendings being accepted except that they have disbelieved in Allah and His apostle, and they perform not prayer except as sluggards and expend not except as those averse.


tafseer:
Let not wherefore their riches and their children amaze thee. Allah intendeth only to torment them therewith in the life of the world and that their souls pass away while they are infidels.


tafseer:
Could they find a place of refuge or caverns or a retreating hole, they would turn round thereto rushing headlong.


tafseer:
And of them are some who traduce thee in respect of alms. Then if they are given thereof they are pleased and if they are not given thereof, lo! they are enraged.


tafseer:
Would that they were pleased with that which Allah and His apostle had given them, and were to say: sufficient unto us is Allah, anon Allah will give us out of His grace and so will His apostle, verily unto Allah we lean.


tafseer:
The compulsory alms are only for the poor and the needy and the agents employed therein and those whose hearts are to be conciliated and those in bondage and debtors and for expenditure in the way of Allah and for the wayfarer: an ordinance from Allah: and Allah is Knowing, Wise.


tafseer:
And of them are some who vex the prophet and say: he is all ears Say thou: he is all ears unto good for you, believing in Allah and giving credence to the believers and a mercy unto those of you who believe. And those who vex the apostle of Allah, unto them shall be a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
They swear unto you by Allah that ye be pleased, whereas wortheir are Allah and His apostle that they should please Him, if they be believers indeed.


tafseer:
Know they not that whosoever shall oppose Allah and His apostle, verily for him shall be Hell-Fire wherein he shell be an abider? That is a mighty humiliation.


tafseer:
The hypocrites apprehend lest a Surah should be revealed unto them declaring unto them that which is in their hearts. Say thou: mock on! verily Allah is about to bring out that which ye apprehend.


tafseer:
Shouldst thou question them, they will surely say: : we were only plunging about and playing. Say thou: was it Allah and His signs and His apostle that ye have been mocking?


tafseer:
Make no excuse. Of a surety ye are disbelieving after declaring your faith. If, party of you We shall Opardon, anot her party We shall torment for they have remained sinners.


tafseer:
Allah hath promised the hypocritical men and hypocritical women and unto the open infidels Hell-Fire, wherein they shall be abiders: sufficient is that unto them. And Allah shall accurse them, and theirs shall be a torment lasting.


tafseer:
Like ye are unto those before you: mightier were they than you in prowess and more abundant in riches and children. They enjoyed their portion awhile, so enjoy your portion awhile even as those before you enjoyed their portion awhile, and ye plunged about even as they plunged about. Those! their works have come to naught in the world and the Hereafter, and those! they are the losers.


tafseer:
Have not come to them the tidings of those before them: the people of Nuh and ´Ad and Thamud and the people of Ibrahim and the dwellers of Madyan and of the overturned cities! There came unto them their apostles with evidences. Wherefore Allah was not one to wrong them, but themselves they were wont to wrong.


tafseer:
And the believing men and believing women are friends one unto anot her: they command that which is reputable and restrain from that which is disreputable, and establish prayer and give the poor-rate and obey Allah and His apostle. Those! Allah will surely show mercy to them


tafseer:
Allah hath promised the believing men and believing women Gardens whereunder rivers flow, wherein they shall be abiders, and goodly dwellings in the Everlasting Gardens --and goodwill from Allah is the greatest ofall--that! it is the achievement supreme.


tafseer:
They swear by Allah that they said it not, but assuredly they said the word of infidelity and disbelieved after their Profession of Islam and they resolved that to which they could not attain. And they avenged not except for this that Allah and His apostle had enriched them out of His grace. If then they repent, it will be better for them, and if they turn away, Allah will torment them with an afflictive torment in the world and the Hereafter, and theirs shall be on the earth no friend nor helper.


tafseer:
And of them are some who covenanted With saying: if He giveth of His grace, we will surely give alms and we will surely become of the righteous.


tafseer:
Then when He gave them out of His grace, they became niggardly therewith and turned away as backsliders.


tafseer:
So He chastised them with setting hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they shall meet Him, because they kept back from Allah that which they had promised Him, and because they were wont to lie.


tafseer:
Knew they not that Allah knoweth their secret and their Whisper, and that Allah is the Knower of Things Hidden!


tafseer:
These are they who traduce those who give alms cheerfully, from among the believers, and those who find not anything to give but their hard earnings: at them they scoff. Allah shall scoff back at them. and theirs shall be a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
Ask thou forgiveness for them or ask thou not forgiveness for them: if thou askest forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will forgive them not. This, because they disbelieved in Allah and His apostle, and Allah guideth not an ungodly people.


tafseer:
Those who were left rejoiced at their staying behind the apostle of Allah, and they detested to strive hard with their riches and their lives in the way of Allah, and they said: march not forth in the heat. - Say thou: hotter still is the Hell-Fire. Would that they understood!


tafseer:
Little then let them laugh, and much they shall weep: the meed of that which they have been earning.


tafseer:
If, then, Allah bring thee back to a party of them, and they ask leave of thee for going forth, say thou: never ye shall go forth with me, nor ever fight an enemy with me


tafseer:
And pray thou not ever over any of them that may die nor stand thou over his grave. Verily they have disbelieved in Allah and His apostle and died while they were ungodly.


tafseer:
And let nor their riches and their children amaze thee.Allah intendeth only to torment them therewith in the world, and that their souls may pass away while they are infidels.


tafseer:
And whenever any Surah is sent down commanding: believe in Allah and strive hard in the company of His apostle, the opulent among them ask leave of thee, and say: leave us


tafseer:
Pleased are they that they should be with the women sitters-at-home, and their hearts are sealed up, so they understand not.


tafseer:
But the apostle and those who believed in his company strave hard with their riches and their lives. These are they for whom are goods, and these: they are the blissful.


tafseer:
For them Allah hath gotten ready Gardens whereunder rivers flow, wherein they shall be as abiders. That is the supreme achievement.


tafseer:
And there came the apologists from among dwellers of the desert men praying that leave may be given them and those Who had lied unto Allah and His apostle sat at home. An afflictive torment shall afflict those of them who disbelieve.


tafseer:
Not on the feeble and the ailing nor on those who find not the where withal to expend there is any blame, when they wish well to Allah and His apostle. No way is there against the well-doers


tafseer:
Nor on those who, when they came unto thee that thou mightest mount them and thou saidst: I find not any animal to mount you on, turned back while their eyes overflowed with tears for grief that they could not find ought to expend.


tafseer:
The way is only against those who ask leave of thee while they are rich. They are pleased that they should be with the women sitters-at-home. Allah hath sealed up their hearts, so they know not.


tafseer:
They will excuse themselves unto you when ye return to them. Say thou: excuse not yourselves, we shall by no means believe you: Allah hath already declared unto us some tidings of you, and Allah will behold your work and so will His apostle


tafseer:
They will indeed swear unto you by Allah when ye return to them that ye may avert from them. So avert from them: verily they are an abomination, and their resort is Hell--a recompense for that which they have been earning.


tafseer:
They will swear unto you in order that ye may be well- pleased with them. Then if ye are well-pleased with them, verily Allah will not be well-pleased with an ungodly people.


tafseer:
The dwellers of the desert are the hardest in infidelity and hypocrisy and likeliest not to know the ordinances of that which Allah hath sent down unto His apostle. And Allah is Knowing, Wise.


tafseer:
And of the dwellers of the desert is one who taketh that which he expen deth as a fine, and waiteth for evil turns of fortune for you. Upon them shall be the evil turn of fortune. And Allah is Hearing, Knowing.


tafseer:
And of the dwellers of the desert is one who believeth in Allah and the Last Day, and taketh that which he expendeth as approaches unto Allah and the blessings of His apostle. Lo ! verily these are an approach for them


tafseer:
And the Muhajirs and Ansar, the leaders and the first ones and those who followed them in well-doing, --well-pleased is Allah with them, and well pleased are they with Him, and He hath gotten ready for them Gardens where under the rivers flow, as abiders therein forever. That is the achievement supreme.


tafseer:
And of the dwellers of the desert around you some are hypocrites, and so are some of the people of Madinah


tafseer:
Know they not that it is Allah who accepteth the repentance of His bondmen and taketh the alms, and that it is Allah who is the Relenting, the Merciful!


tafseer:
And say thou: work on! Allah beholdeth your work and so do His apostle and the believers, and anon ye will be brought back to the Knower of the hidden and the manifest


tafseer:
And others are awaiting the decree of Allah, whether He shall torment them or whether He will relent toward them


tafseer:
And as for those who have set up a mosque for hurting and blaspheming and the causing of division among the believers and as a lurking-place for one who hath warred against Allah and His apostle aforetime, and surely


tafseer:
Thou Shalt never stand therein. Surely a mosque founded from the first day on piety is wortheir that thou shouldst stand therein. In it are men who love to cleanse themselves: and Allah approveth the clean.


tafseer:
Is he, then, who hath founded his building upon piety towards Allah and His good-will better, or he who hath founded his building on the brink of a crumbling bank, so that it crumbleth with him into the Hell-fire! And Allah guideth not the wrong-doing people.


tafseer:
And their building which they have builded will not cease to be a cause of doubt in their hearts unless it be that their hearts are cut asunder


tafseer:
Verily Allah hath bought of the believers their lives and their riches for the price that theirs shall be the Garden: they fight in the way of Allah and slay and are slain: a promise due thereon in the Taurat, in the Injil - and the Qur´an-and who is more faithful unto his covenant than Allah? Rejoice wherefore in your bargain which ye have made. And that it is the mighty achievement.


tafseer:
They are those who repent, who worship who praise, who fast constantly, woo bow down, who prostrate themselves, who command the reputable and restrain from the disreputable and who keep the ordinances of Allah


tafseer:
It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask for the forgiveness of the associators, although they be of kin after it hath become manifest unto them that they are the fellows of the Flaming Fire.


tafseer:
And Ibrahim´s asking for the forgiveness of his father was only in pursuance of a promise which he had made unto him. Then, when it became manifest unto him that he was an enemy of Allah, he declared himself quit of him. Verily Ibrahim was long-suffering, forbearing.


tafseer:
Allah is not one to leed a people astray after He hath guided them until He hath made manifest unto them that which they should guard against. Verily Allah is of everything the Knower.


tafseer:
Verily Allah! His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He giveth life and He causeth to die


tafseer:
Assuredly Allah hath relented toward the Prophet and the Muhajirs and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of distress after the hearts of a part of them had well-nigh swerved aside when He relented toward them. Verily He is unto them Tender, Merciful.


tafseer:
And also He relented toward the three who were left behind until when the earth, vast as it is, became straitened unto them and their own lives became straitened unto them and they imagined that there was no refuge from Allah except unto Him. Thereafter He relented toward them, so that they might repent. Verily Allah! He is the Relenting, the Merciful.


tafseer:
It was not for the people of Madina and those around them of the desert dwellers that they should lay behind the apostle of Allah, nor that they should prefer themselves before him. That is because there afflicteth them not thirst or fatigue or hunger in the way of Allah or they tread a place trodden on enraging the infidels, nor they attain an attainment from the enemy, but a good deed is thereby written down unto them. Verily Allah wasteth not the hire of the well-doers.


tafseer:
And they expend not an expending, small or great, or transverse a vale, but it is written down unto them, so that Allah may recompense them with the best for that which they have been working.


tafseer:
And it is not for the believers to march forth all together. So why should not a band from each party of them march forth so that they may gain understanding in religion and that when they come back unto them, haply they might warn their people when they come back unto them, haply they may beware!


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! fight the infidels who are near unto you, and surely let them find in you sternness, and know that Allah is with the God-fearing,


tafseer:
And whenever a Surah s sent down, there are some of them who say which of You hath this increased in faith! As for those who believe, it hath increased them in faith, and they rejoice.


tafseer:
And as for those in whose hearts is a disease, unto them it hath increased pollution to their pollution, and they die while they are infidels.


tafseer:
Behold they not that they are tried every year once or twice? Yet they repent not, nor are they admonished.


tafseer:
And whenever a Surah is sent down they look on at each other as though saying: observeth you anyone? Thereafter they turn to go


tafseer:
Assuredly there hath come unto you an apostle from amongst yourselves: heavy upon him is that which harasseth you, solicitous for you, and with the believers tender and merciful.


tafseer:
If, then, they turn away, say thou: sufficing unto me is Allah, there is no god but he, on Him I rely and He is the Lord of Mighty Throne.


tafseer:
It is a matter of wonderment to the mankind that we should reveal unto a man among them saying: warn thou the man kind, and bear those who have believed the glad tidings that theirs shall be a sure footing. with their Lord! The infidels say: verily this in a sorcerer manifest.


tafseer:
Verily your Lord is Allah who hath created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself on the Throne disposing the affair


tafseer:
Unto Him is the return of you all--the promise of Allah is truth. Verily He beginneth the creation, then He shall repeat it, that he may recompense those who believed and did righteous works with equity. And those who disbelieved -- for them shall be draught of boiling water and a torment afflictive for they were wont to disbelieve.


tafseer:
He it is who hath made the sun a glow and the moon a light, and hath determined mansions for her that ye may know the number of the years and the reckoning Allah hath not created all this except with a purpose


tafseer:
Verily in the alteration of he night and the day and in that which Allah hath created in the heavens and the earth are surely signs unto a people who fear.


tafseer:
Verily those who hope not for meeting with us, and, well- pleased with the life of the world, and are satisfied therewith, and those who are neglectful of our signs.


tafseer:
Verily those who believe and do righteous works, their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Beneath them will flow rivers in Gardens of Delight.


tafseer:
Their cry therein will be: hallowed be Thou! O Allah! and their greeting therein: peace! And the end of their Cry Will be: all praise unto Allah, the Lord of the worlds


tafseer:
And were Allah to hasten the ill unto mankind as their desire for hastening the good, their term would surely have been decreed unto them. So we let alone those who hope not for the meeting with Us, wandering in their exorbitance perplexed.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have destroyed the generations before you when they did wrong, while their apostles came unto them with the evidences, and they were not such as to believe. In this wise We requite the sinning people.


tafseer:
And whenever Our manifest revelations are rehearsed unto them, those who hope not for the meeting with Us, say: bring us a Qur´an other than this, or change it. Say thou: it lieth not with me to change it of my own accord


tafseer:
Say thou: had Allah so willed. Would not have rehearsed it unto you, nor would He have acquainted you therewith. Of a surety I have tarried among you a lifetime before it. Would ye not then reflect?


tafseer:
Who then is a greater wrong doer than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah or belieth His revelations? Verily He will not let the culprits fare well.


tafseer:
And they worship, beside Allah, that which harmeth them not, nor profiteth them, and they say: these are our intercessors with God: Say thou: apprise ye Allah of that which He knoweth not in the heavens nor in the earth? Hallowed be He and Exalted far above that which ye associate!


tafseer:
And mankind were not but a single ccmmunity then they differed. And had not a word from thy Lord gone forth, it would have been decreed between them in respect of that wherein they differ.


tafseer:
And they say : wherefore is not a sign sent down unto him from his Lord! Say thou: the Hidden belongeth unto Allah alone


tafseer:
And when We let mankind taste of mercy after an adversity hath touched them, forthwith they have a plot with regard to his signs. Say thou: Allah is swifter in plotting. Verily Our mesengers write down that which ye plot.


tafseer:
He it is who enableth you to travel by land and sea until when ye are in ships and they run away with them with a goodly wind and they rejoice thereat, there cometh upon them a tempestuous wind and there cometh unto them a billow from every side, and they imagine that they are encompassed therein, they cry unto Allah making there faith pure for Him: If Thou deliverest us from this. we would surely be of those who are thankful.


tafseer:
Then when He delivereth them. they forthwith rebel in the earth without justice. O ye ! your rebellion is only against yourselves: a brief enjoyment of the life of the world


tafseer:
The similitude of the life of the world is only as the rain which We send down from heaven, wherewith maingleth the growth of the earth, of which men and cattle eat, until, when the earth putteth on her oranament and is adorned, and the inhabitants thereof imgine that they are potent over it, there cometh unto it Our command by night or by day, then We make it stubble as though it had not flourished yesterday. Thus We detail the signs unto a people who ponder.


tafseer:
Unto those who have done good is the good (reward) and an increase: neither darkness nor abjection will cover their faces. These are the fellows of the Garden: therein they will be abiders.


tafseer:
And those who have earned misdeeds -the requital of a misdeed is the like thereof and abjection will cover them


tafseer:
Remember the Day whereon We shall gather them together, then We shall say un to those who associated: keep your place, ye and your associate gods. Then We shall cause split between them: and their associate-gods will say: it was not us that ye were worshipping.


tafseer:
Therein every soul shall prove that which it sent before, and they shall be brcught back to Allah, their rightful Owner, and there shall stray from them that which they were wont to fabriCate.


tafseer:
Say thou: who provideth for you from the heaven and the earth, or who owneth the hearing and the sight, and who bringeth forth the living from the lifeless and bringeth forth the lifeless from the living, and who disposeth the affair! They will then surely say: Allah. Say thou: will ye not then fear Him?


tafseer:
Such is Allah, your rightful Lord. What then is there after the truth but error? Whither away then are ye drifting!


tafseer:
In this wise is the word of thy Lord justified on those who transgress: that they shall not come to believe.


tafseer:
Say thou: is there any of your associate-gods who originateth the creation and then repeateth it? Say thou: Allah originateth the creation and then shall repeat it. Whither away then are ye deviating?


tafseer:
Say thou: is there any of your associate-gods who guideth you to the truth! Say thou: Allah guideth unto the truth. Is He, then, who guideth to the truth more worthy to be followed, or one who findeth not the guidance unless he is guided. What aileth ye then? How ill ye judge!


tafseer:
And this Qur´an is not such as could be fabricated as against Allah. But it is a confirmation of that a which is before it, and and a d etailing of the Decree, whereof there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
Say they: he hath fabricated it! Say thou: then bring ye a Surah like thereunto, and call whomsoever ye can beside Allah, if ye say sooth.


tafseer:
Aye! they have belied that of which the knowledge they comprehended not and of which the fulfilment hath not come to them. Likewise belied those who were before them


tafseer:
And if they belie thee, say thou: unto me my work, and unto you your work: ye are quit of that which I work and am quit of that which ye work.


tafseer:
And of them are some who hearken unto thee, so canst thou make the deaf hear, even though they apprehend not?


tafseer:
And of the Day whereon He shall gather them, as though they had tarried not save an hour of he day they shall mutually recognize. Lost surely are those who belie the meeting with Allah and they were not such as to be guided.


tafseer:
And whether We shew thee soome of that which We have promised them, or We cause thee to die, Unto us is their return, and Allah is witness of that which they do.


tafseer:
Say thou: I own not any power of hurt or benefit unto myself, save that which Allah may will. For each community is a term


tafseer:
Say thou: bethink ye, if His torment come on you by night or by day which Portion thereof would the culprlts hasten on?


tafseer:
Is It, then, when it hath befallen, that ye will believe therein Now?- whereas ye have surely been hastening it On.


tafseer:
Thereafter, it will be said unto those who wronged themselves: taste the torment everlasting: ye are requited not save for that which ye have been earning.


tafseer:
And they ask thee to tell them if it be-true. Say thou: yeal by my Lord, It, Is the veary truth, and ye shall not be able to escape.


tafseer:
And if every one that hath wronged had all that is in the earth, surely he would ransom himself therewith. And they shall conceal remorse when they behold the torment, and the matter will be decreed between them in equity, and they shall not be wronged.


tafseer:
Lo! verily Allah´s is whatsoever is In the heavens and the earth, Lo! verily Allah´s promise is true


tafseer:
O Mankind! now there hath come unto you an exhortation from your Lord and a healing for that which is in Your breasts, and a guidance and a mercy for the believers.


tafseer:
Say thou: in the grace of Allah and in His mercy--therein let them therefore rejoice: far better it is than that which they amass.


tafseer:
Say thou: bethink ye of that which Allah hath sent down unto you of provision, and ye have then made thereof allowable and forbidden? Say thou: is it that Allah hath given you leave, or fabricate ye a lie against Allah?


tafseer:
And what imagine those who fabricate a lie against Allah of the Day of Resurrection? Verily Allah is the owner of grace unto mankind, but most of them return not thanks.


tafseer:
Thou art not engaged in any business, nor dost thou recite any part of the Qur´an, nor ye work any work, but We are witnesses over you when ye are engaged therein. And there escapeth not thy Lord the weight of an ant in the earth or the heavens, nor less than that nor greater, but it is in a Book luminous.


tafseer:
Unto them is glad tidings in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. No changing is there in the words of Allah. That! it is the mighty achievement.


tafseer:
And let not their saying grieve thee. Verily honour is Allah´s wholly. He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
Lo! verily Allah´s is whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is on the earth. And what is it that they who call unto associate-gods beside Allah follow They follow but an opinion, and they are but conjecturing.


tafseer:
He it is who hath appointed for you the night that ye may repose therein and the day enlightening. Verily in that are signs for a people who listen.


tafseer:
They say: God hath taken a son.Hallowed be He-He, the selfesufficient! His is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. No warranty is there with you for this. Ascribe ye falsely unto Allah that which ye know not?


tafseer:
And rehearse thou unto them the story of Nuh, when he said unto his people: O my people! if my standing forth and my admonishment with the commandments of Allah be hard upon you, then on Allah I rely


tafseer:
If then ye turn away, I have asked of you no hire, my hire is only with Allah, and I am commanded to be of those who submit.


tafseer:
Then, We raised after him other apostles to their people, and they brought them evidences, but they were not such as to believe that which they had belied afore. Thus We seal the hearts of the transgressors.


tafseer:
Then, after them, We raised Musa and Harun unto Fir´awn and his chiefs with Our signs, but they grew stiff-necked and they were a people guilty.


tafseer:
Musa said: say ye this of the truth after it hath come unto you? Is this magic? and the magicians fare not well.


tafseer:
They said: art thou come unto us to turn us aside from that faith whereon We found our fathers, and that the greatness in the land shall be unto you twain! And for the sake of you twain we are not going to be believers.


tafseer:
Then when the magicians were come, Musa said unto them: cast down that which ye are going to cast down.


tafseer:
Then when they had cast down, Musa said: that which ye have brought is magic, verily Allah will soon make it vain


tafseer:
Then none believed in Musa save a posterity of his people, through fear of Fir´awn and their chiefs, lest he should persecute them


tafseer:
And We Revealed unto Musa and his brother: inhabit houses for your people in Misr, and make your houses a place of Worship, and establish prayer, and give glad tidings to the believers.


tafseer:
And Musa said: our Lord! verily Thou! Thou hast vouchsafed unto Fir´awn and his chiefs adornment and riches in the life of the world, Our Lord, that they may lead men astray from Thine way. Our Lord! wipe out their riches, and harden their hearts, so that they may not believe until they behold the torment afflictive.


tafseer:
Allah said: surely the petition of you twain is accepted, so keep straight on, and follow not the path of those who know not.


tafseer:
So this day We deliver thee in thy body that thou mayest be a sign unto those after thee, and verily many of mankind are of our signs neglectful.


tafseer:
And assuredly We settled the Children of Isra´il into a secure settlement, and We provided them with good things


tafseer:
And if thou be in doubt concerning that which We have sent down unto thee, then ask those who have read the Books before thee. Assuredly hath the truth come unto thee from thy Lord, so be not then of the doubters.


tafseer:
Why then was there not a township which believed, so that its faith might have profited it, except the people of Yunus! When they believed, We removed from them the torment of humiliation in the life of the world, and We let them enjoy for a season.


tafseer:
It is not for any soul that it should believe save with Allah´s will, and He layeth the abomination upon those who reflect not.


tafseer:
Wait they then aught but the days of those who have passed away before them. Say thou: wait then, verily I am with you among those who wait.


tafseer:
Thereafter We delivered Our apostles and those who believed. Even so, as incumbent upon us, We deliver the believers.


tafseer:
Say thou: ye men! if ye are in doubt concerning my religion-- then worship not those ye worship beside Allah, but I worship Allah who causeth you to die


tafseer:
And if Allah toucheth thee with hurt there is no remover thereof but he, and if He intendeth any good there is no averter of His grace. He letteth it befall on whomsoever of His bondmen He will


tafseer:
Say thou: O mankind! the truth hath surely come unto you from your Lord: whosoever then is guided, is guided only for himself, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only against himself


tafseer:
And follow thou whatsoever is revealed unto thee, and endure until Allah judgeth, and He is the Best of judges.


tafseer:
Alif. Lam. Ra. A Book this, the verses whereof are guarded, and then detailed, from before the Wise, the Aware.


tafseer:
Saying: ye shall not worship ought except Allah. Verily I am unto you from Him a warner and a bearer of glad tidings.


tafseer:
And that: ask forgiveness of your Lord, then repent toward Him, He will let you enjoy a goodly enjoyment until a term appointed and will vouchsafe unto every owner of grace His grace. And if ye turn away, verily I fear for you the torment of a Great Day.


tafseer:
Lo! they fold their breasts that they may hide from Him. Lo! when they cover themselves with their garments, He knoweth that which they conceal and that which they make known. Verily He is the Knower of the secrets of the breasts.


tafseer:
And there is not a moving creature on the earth but upon Allah is the sustenance thereof, and He knoweth its habitation and its resting-place: everything is in a Book luminous.


tafseer:
And He it is who hath created the heavens and the earth in six days -and His throne was upon the water--that he might prove you, as to which of you is excellent in work. And if thou sayest: ye shall verily be raised after death, surely those who disbelieve will say: naught is this but sorcery manifest.


tafseer:
And if We defer from them the torment until a period determined, they say: What withholdeth it! Lo! the day it betideth them it shall not be averted from them, and shall beset them that whereat they have been mocking.


tafseer:
And if We let man taste mercy from us, and thereafter withdraw it from him, verily he is despairing, blaspheming.


tafseer:
And if We let him taste favour after harm hath touched him, he saith: the ills have departed from me


tafseer:
Not so are those who persevere and do righteous works. Those! theirs shall be forgivness and a great hire.


tafseer:
So hapoy thou mayest abandon part of that hich hath been revealed unto thee, and thy breast is straitened thereby, because they say: wherefore hath not a treasure been sent down unto him, or an angel come with him! Thou art but a warner, and of everything Allah is the Trustee.


tafseer:
Or say they: he hath fabricated it? Say thou: bring ye then ten Surahs the like thereunto fabricated, and call whomsoever ye can beside Allah, if ye say sooth.


tafseer:
Then if they respond you not, know that it hath been sent down only with the Knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but he


tafseer:
Whosoever desireth the life of the world and the adornment thereof, We shall repay them in full their works therein, and in it they shall not be defrauded.


tafseer:
Is he like unto him who resteth upon an evidence from His Lord, so and there rehearseth it a witness from Him And before it was the Book of Musa, a pattern and a mercy


tafseer:
And who doth greater wrong than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah! these shall be set before their Lord, and the witnesses shall say


tafseer:
Who hinder others from the way of Allah and would seek crockedness therein, and they: in the Hereafter they are disbelievers.


tafseer:
These are they who have lost their souls, and hath strayed from them that which they have been fabricating.


tafseer:
Verily those who believed and worked righteous works and humbled themselves before their Lord--they shall be the fellows of the Garden: therein they shall be abiders.


tafseer:
The likeness of the two parties is as the blind and deaf, and the seeing and hearing. Are the twain equal in likeness? Admonished are ye not then?


tafseer:
The chiefs of those who disbelieved among his people said: we behold thee except as a human being like us, and we behold not any follow thee except the meanest of us, by an immature opinion


tafseer:
He said: bethink ye, O my people! if I rested upon an evidence from my Lord, and a mercy hath come unto me from Him, and that hath been obscured unto you, Shall we make you adhere to it while ye are averse thereto?


tafseer:
Nor would my good counsel profit you, even though I wished to give you good counsel, if Allah willed to keep you astray. He is your Lord, and unto Him ye shall be returned.


tafseer:
Or say they: he hath fabricated it? Say thou: on me then be my guilt, and I am quit of that whereof ye are guilty.


tafseer:
And it was revealed unto Nuh: verily none of thy people will believe save those that have believed already


tafseer:
So presently ye shall know on whom cometh a torment that humiliateth him, and on whom is let loose a torment lasting.


tafseer:
Thus were they employed until when Our decree came and the oven boiled over, We said: carry thereon of every kind two, and thy household except him thereof against whom the word hath already gone forth, and whosoever hath believed. And there had not believed with him save a few.


tafseer:
And it moved on with them amidst waves like mountains. And Nuh called out his son, and he was apart: O my son! embark with us, and be not with the infidels.


tafseer:
He said: I shall betake me to a mountain which will defend me from the water. Nuh said: there is no defender to-day from the decree of Allah save for one on whom He hath mercy. And a wave intervened betwixt the twain


tafseer:
And Nuh cried unto his Lord, and said: my Lord! verily my son is of my household, and verily Thine promise is the truth: and Thou art the Greatest of the rulers.


tafseer:
Nuh said: my Lord! verily take refuge with Thee lest I may ask Thee that whereof I have no knowledge. And if Thou forgivest me not and hast not mercy on me, I shall be of the losers.


tafseer:
It was said: Nuh! get thou down with peace from us and blessings upon thee and the communities with thee. And there shall be communities whom we shall let enjoy themselves, and thereafter there shall befall them from us a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
That is of the stories of the unseen: We Reveal it unto thee: thou knewest it not, nor thy nation knew it ere this. So be thou patient


tafseer:
O My people! I ask of you no hire therefor, my hire is cnly on Him who created me, will ye not then reflect?


tafseer:
They sai: O Hud! thou hast not brought us an evidence, and we are not going to abandon our gods thy saying, nor are we going to be believers in thee.


tafseer:
All that we say is that some of our gods have smitten thee with evil. He said: verily I call Allah to witness, and bear ye witness, that I am quit of that which ye associate.


tafseer:
If then ye turn away, I have surely preached unto you that wherewith I was sent unto you. And my Lord will set up in succession a people other than you, and ye shall not harm Him at all, verily my Lord is over everything a Guardian.


tafseer:
And then when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Hud and these who believed with him by a mercy from us


tafseer:
And such were ´Aad. They gainsaid the signs of their Lord, and disobeyed His apostles, and followed the bidding of any tyrant froward.


tafseer:
And they were followed in this world by a curse, and so will they be on the Judgment Day. Lo! verily ´Aad disbelieved in thy Lord. Lo! away with ´Aad, the people of Hud.


tafseer:
They said: O Saleh! heretofore thou wast amongst us as one hoped for. Forbiddest us thou to worship that which our fathers have worshipped? And verily we are regarding that to which thou callest us in doubt disquieting.


tafseer:
Yet they hamstrang her. Then he said: enjoy yourselves in your dwellings three days: that is a promise, not to be falsified.


tafseer:
Then when Our decree came to pass We delivered Saleh and those who believed with Him by a mercy from Us, and from the humiliation of that day. Verily thy Lord! He is the Strong, the Mighty.


tafseer:
As though they had never lived at ease therein. Lo! verily Thamud disbelieved in their Lord. Lo! away with Thamud.


tafseer:
And assuredly Our messengers came unto Ibrahim with the glad tidings. The said: peace! He said: peace! And he tarried not till he brougt a calf roasted.


tafseer:
And when he beheld that their hands reached it not he misliked them, and ccnceived a fear of them. They said fear not verily we are sent unto the people of Lut.


tafseer:
And his wife was standing. she laughed. Then We gave her the glad tidings of Is´haq, and after Is´haq, Ya´qub.


tafseer:
She said: Oh for me shall bring forth when I am old, and this my husband is advanced in years! Verily a marvellous thing is this!


tafseer:
They said marvellest thou at the decree of Allah? Mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house, verily He is Praiseworthy, Glorious.


tafseer:
Then when the alarm had departed from Ibrahim and the glad tidings had come home unto him, he took to disputing with us for the people of Lut


tafseer:
And when Our messengers came unto Lut, he was distressed on their account, and he felt straitened on their account, and he said: this is a lay dreadful.


tafseer:
And his people came unto him rushing on toward him, and afore they were wont to work vices. He said. O my people! these are my daughters: purer are they for you


tafseer:
They said: assuredly thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and verily thou knowest that which we would have.


tafseer:
Then when Our decree came to pass, We turned the upside thereof downward, and We rained thereon stones of baked clay, piled up.


tafseer:
And, O my people! give full measure and weight with equity, and defraud not the people of their things, and commit not mischief on the earth as corrupters.


tafseer:
They said: Shu´aib, commandeth thee thy prayer that we should abandon that which our fathers have worshipped, or that we should not do with our riches whatsoever we will! thou, indeed! thou forsooth art forbearing, right-minded!


tafseer:
He said: O my people! bethink if I rested on an evidence from my Lord, and He hath provided me with a goodly provision from Himself, shell I fail to deliver His message! And I desire not, in order to oppose you, to do that which I forbid I desire not but rectification, so far you as I am able, and my hope of success is not save with Allah


tafseer:
And, O my people! let not the cleavage with me incite you so that there befall you the like of that which befell the people of Nuh and the people of Hud and the people of Saleh


tafseer:
They said: O Shu´aib! we understanand not much of that which thou sayest, and verily we see thee weak among us, and were it not for thy company we had surely stoned thee, and thou art not among us mighty.


tafseer:
He said: O my people! is my company mightier with you than Allah? Him ye have cast behind your backs neglected


tafseer:
And when our decree came to pass, We delivered Shu´aib and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us, and the shout overtook those who did wrong, so they lay in their dwellings crouching.


tafseer:
As though they had never lived at ease therein. Lo! a far removal for Madyan, even as Thamud were removed afar!


tafseer:
Unto Firawn and his chiefs. But they followed the commandment of Fir´awn, and the commandment of Fir´awn was not right- minded.


tafseer:
He shall head his people on the Day of Resurrection and cause them to descend into the Fire, ill is the descent, descended!


tafseer:
And they were followed in this world by a curse and so they will be on the Day of Resurrection, ill is the present presented!


tafseer:
That is from the stories of the Cities which We recount unto thee: of them some are standing and some mown down.


tafseer:
And We wronged them not but they wronged themselves. So their gods, whom they called upon beside Allah, availed them not in aught, when there came the decree of thy Lord, and they added unto them naught but perdition.


tafseer:
And even such is the overtaking of thy Lord when He overtaketh the cities while they are wrong-doers


tafseer:
Verily herein is a sign unto him who feareth the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day whereon mankind shall be gathered together, and that is a Day to be witnessed.


tafseer:
The day it cometh no soul shall speak save by His leave: then of them some shall be wretched and some blessed.


tafseer:
As for those who shall be wretched. they shall be in the Fire, wherein for them shall be panting and roaring.


tafseer:
Abiders they shall be therein, so long as the heavens and the earth remain, save as thy Lord may will. Verily thy Lord is the Doer of whatsoever He intendeth.


tafseer:
And as for those who shall be blest, they shall be in the Garden, as abiders therein so long as the heavens and the earth remain, save as thy Lord may will. a gift unending.


tafseer:
So be not thou in dubitation concerning that which these people worship. They worship not save as their fathers worshipped afore


tafseer:
And lean not toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you, and ye have no protectors beside Allah nor ye would then be succoured.


tafseer:
And establish thou the prayer at the two ends of the day, and in the neighbouring watches of the night verily virtues take away vices. That is a reminder unto the mindful.


tafseer:
Why were there not of the generations before you owner of wisdom restraining others from corruption on the earth, except a few of those whom We delivered from amongst them! And those who did wrong followed that in which they luxuriated, and they had been sinners.


tafseer:
And had thy Lord Willed, He would surely have made mankind of one community, and they will not cease differing.


tafseer:
And all that We recount unto thee of the stories of the apostles is in order that We may make firm thy heart thereby. And in this there hath come to thee truth and an exhortation and an admonition unto the believers.


tafseer:
And say thou unto those who believe not: work according to your condition verily We, going to work in our way.


tafseer:
And Allah´s is the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and unto Him the whole affair shall be brought back. So worship Him thou and rely on Him


tafseer:
We! We recount unto thee the best of stories, by Revealing unto thee this Our´an, although thou wast before that of the unaware ones.


tafseer:
Recall what time Yusufj said unto his father: , y father! verily have seen eleven stars and the sun and the moon


tafseer:
And Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee of the interpretation of discourses, and will fulfil His favour upon thee and upon the house of Y´aqub even as He fulfilled it upon thy fathers, Ibrahim and Is-haq aforetime


tafseer:
Recall what time they said: surely Yusuf and his brother are dearer to our father than we, whereas we are company


tafseer:
They said: our father! wherefore thou intrustest us not with Yusuf, whereas verily we are his well-wishers.


tafseer:
Send him with us tomorrow, that he may refresh himself and play, and verily we are to be his guards.


tafseer:
He said: verily it grieveth me that ye should take him away, and I fear lest a wolf may devour him, While ye are negligent of him.


tafseer:
So when they took him away, and resolved to place him in the bottom of the well, We Revealed unto him: surely thou wilt declare unto them this their affair, while they shall perceive not.


tafseer:
And they brought his shirt with false blood. He said: nay! your selves have embellished for you an affair


tafseer:
And a caravan came, and they sent their water-drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said: glad tidings! here is a youth. And they hid him as merchandise, And Allah was the Knower of that which they worked.


tafseer:
And they sold him for a mean price: a few dirhams numbered and they were in regard to him of the indifferent.


tafseer:
And he who bought him in Misr said unto his wife: make his dwelling honourable: belike he may profit us or we may take him as a son. And Thus We made a place for Yusuf in the land, and it was in order that We may teach him the interpretation of discourses. And Allah is Dominant in His purpose, but most of men know not.


tafseer:
And assuredly she besought him, and he would have besoughther were it not that he had seen the argument of his Lord. Thus We did, in order that We might avert from him all evil and indecency


tafseer:
And the twain raced to the door, and she rent his shirt from behind, And the twain met her master at the door. She said: What is the meed of him who intended evil toward thy house hold except that he be imprisoned, or a torment afflictive?


tafseer:
He said: it is she who solicited me against myself And a witness from her own household bare witness: if his shirt be rent in front, then she speaketh the truth and he is of the liars.


tafseer:
Then, when she heard of their cunning talk, she sent unto them a messenger, and got ready for them a cushioned Couch, and gave a knife to each of them. And she said: come forth to them. Then when they saw him, they were astonished at him, and they made a cut in their hands, and said: how perfect is God! no man is he: he is naught but an angel noble.


tafseer:
She said: that then is he in regard to whom ye reproached me. Assuredly solicited him against himself but he abstained


tafseer:
And there entered with him into the prison two pages. One of them said: verlly I saw myself pressing wine


tafseer:
He said: there will not come to you any food wherewith ye are provided but I shall have declared unto the interpretation thereof ere it cometh unto you. that is of that which my Lord hath taught me


tafseer:
And I have followed the creed of my fathers, Ibrahim and Is´haq and ya´qub: it is not for us to associate aught with Allah. That is of Allah´s and upon mankind


tafseer:
Ye worship not, beside Him, but names ye have named, ye and your fathers: Allah hath not sent down for them any warranty. Judgment is but Allah´s


tafseer:
And he said to one of them who he imagined would be saved:mention me in the presence of thy lord.Then the Satan caused him to forget to mention him to his lord, so that he tarried in the prison several years.


tafseer:
And the king said: verily I saw seven fat kine which seven lean ones are devouring and seven green cornears and seven others dry. O ye chiefs! give me an answer in regard to my vision if a vision ye are wont to expound.


tafseer:
Then the one of the twain, who was saved, and now recollected himself after a period, said: I, even I, shall declare unto you the interpretation thereof


tafseer:
Yusuf, O saint! give an answer unto us in regard to seven fat kine which seven lean ones are devouring and seven green corn-ears and seven others dry


tafseer:
Then thereafter will come seven hard years which will devour that which ye have laid up beforehand for them except a little which ye shall preserve.


tafseer:
And the king said: bring him Unto me. Then, when the messenger came to him, he said: return to thy lord, and ask him, what about the women who cut their hands! verily my Lord is the Knower of their guile.


tafseer:
He said: What was the matter with you when ye solicited Yusuf against himself! They said: how perfect is God! we knew not of any evil against him. The wife of the Aziz said: how hath the truth come to light, even I, solicited him against himself, and verily he is of the truth-tellers.


tafseer:
He said: that did in order that he may know that I betrayed him not in secret, and that Allah guideth not the guile of betrayers.


tafseer:
And the king said: bring him unto me I will single him out for myself Then when he spake unto him, he said: verily thou art to-day with us placed high, intrusted.


tafseer:
Thus We established Yusuf in the land so that he might settle therein wherever he listed. We bestow of Our mercy on whomsoever We will, and We waste not the hire of the well-doers.


tafseer:
And the brethren of Yusuf came and entered unto him, and he recognized them, while they recognized him not.


tafseer:
And when he had furnished them with their furnishing, he said: bring unto me a brother of your from your father behold ye not that I give full measure and that am the best of entertainers.


tafseer:
But if ye bring him not unto me, there shall be no measuring for you from me, and ye shall not approach me.


tafseer:
And he said to his pages: place their goods in their packs, haply they will recognize them when they reach back to their household: haply they will return.


tafseer:
Then when they returned to their father, they said: our father! the measuring hath been denied us, wherefore send thou with us our brother, and we shall get our measure


tafseer:
And when they opened their stuff, they found their goods returned unto them. They said: our father! what more can we desire! here are our goods returned to us


tafseer:
He said: I will by no means send him with you until ye give me an assurance by Allah that ye will bring him back to me, unless it be that ye are encompassed. Then when they gave him their assurance, he said: Allah is over that which we have said Warden.


tafseer:
And when they entered unto Yusuf, he betook his full brother unto himself, and said: verily I am thine own brother Yusuf, so sorrow not over that which they have been working.


tafseer:
They said: by Allah! assuredly ye know that we came not to work corruption in the land, nor we have been thieves.


tafseer:
They said: his meed shall be that he, in whose pack it is found, shall himself be recompense thereof. Thus we reccmpense the wrong- doers.


tafseer:
They said: if he stealeth, then surely a brother of him hath stolen afore. But Yusuf concealed it in himself, and discovered it not unto them. He said: ye are in evil plight, and Allah is the Best Knower of that which ye ascribe.


tafseer:
Then when they despaired of him they counselled together privately. The eldest of them said: know ye not that your father hath taken an assurance from you before Allah? and aforetime ye have been remiss in your duty in respect of Yusuf


tafseer:
Return unto your father, and say: our father! verily thy son hath stolen, and we testify not save according to that which we know


tafseer:
And inquire those of the city where we have been and of the caravan with whom we have travelled hither


tafseer:
And he turned away from them, and said: O my grief for Yusuf! and his eyes whitened with grief, while he was filled with suppressed sorrow.


tafseer:
They said: by Allah! thou wilt not cease remembering Yusuf until thou art wizened or thou be of the dead.


tafseer:
He said: I only bewail my cogitation and grief unto Allah, and I know from Allah that which ye know not.


tafseer:
And when they entered unto him, they said: O Aziz! distress hath touched us and our household, and we have brought poor goods, wherefore give us full measure, and be charitable unto us


tafseer:
And when the caravan had departed, their father said: surely feel the smell of Yusuf, if ye think not that I am doting.


tafseer:
Then, when the bringer of the glad tidings came, he cast it upon his face and he became clear-sighted. He said: said I not unto you, verily I know from Allah that which ye know not.


tafseer:
Then when they entered unto Yusuf, he betook his parents unto himself. and said: enter Misr, if Allah will, in security.


tafseer:
And he raised his parents to the throne, and they fell down before him prostrate, And he said: O my father! this is the interpretation of my vision aforetime


tafseer:
O My Lord! Thou hast given me of the dominion,and hast taught me of the interpretation of discourses, Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my Patron in the world and the Hereafter. Make me to die a Muslim, and join me with the righteous.


tafseer:
Are they secure then against this, that there may come upon them an overwhelming of Allah´s torment, or that there may come upon them the Hour on a sudden while they percieve not?


tafseer:
Say thou: this is my way: I call unto Allah resting upon an insight---I, and whosoever followeth me. Hallowed be Allah:and I am not of the associators.


tafseer:
And We sent not before thee any save men unto whom We revealed from among the people of the towns. Have then they not travelled about in the land that they might observe of what wise hath been the end of those before them! And surely the abode of the, Hereafter is best for those who fear! Reflect then ye not!


tafseer:
Respited were they until when the apostles had despaired and imagined that they were deluded, there came unto them Our succour


tafseer:
Assuredly in their stories is a lesson for men of understanding. It is not a discourse fabricated, but a confirmation of that which went before it, and a detailing of everything, and a guidance and a mercy unto a people who believe.


tafseer:
Alif. Lam. Mim. Ra. These are the verses of the Book. And that which is sent down unto thee from thy Lord is the truth, but most of the people believe not.


tafseer:
Allah it is who hath raised the heavens without pillars that ye can see, then He established Himself on the throne, and subjected the sun and the moon, each running unto a period determined. He disposeth the affair, and detaileth the signs, that haply of the meeting with your Lord ye may be convinced.


tafseer:
And in the earth are regions neighbouring and gardens of vines and cornfields, and palm-trees clustered and single, watered by the same water


tafseer:
And shouldst thou marvel, then marvellous is their saying: when we have become dust, shall we be in a new creation! ´ These are they who disbelieved in their Lord


tafseer:
And they ask thee to hasten the evil before the good, while examples have already gone forth afore them. And thy Lord is Owner of forgiveness unto mankind despite their wrong-doing


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: wherefore is not a sign sent down unto him from his Lord! Thou art but a warner


tafseer:
Allah knoweth that which each female beareth and that which the wombs want and that which they exceed, and with Him everything is in due measure:


tafseer:
Equal unto him is he among you who hideth the word and he who publisheth it, and he who hideth himself in the night and he who goeth about freely in the day.


tafseer:
He It is who sheweth the lightning unto you for fear and for desire, and bringeth up the clouds heavy.


tafseer:
Unto Him is the true call, and those whom they call upon beside Him answer them not at all, save as is answered one stretching out his palms to water that it may reach his mouth, while it will reach it not. And the supplication of the infidels only goeth astray.


tafseer:
And unto Allah prostrateth himself whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or of constraint, and also thir shadows in the moring and the evenings.


tafseer:
Say thou: who in the Lord of the heavens and the earth Say thou: Allah. Say thou: have ye then taken beside Him patrons who own not to themselves benefit nor hurt! Say thou: are the blind and the seer equal? Or, the darknesses and light equal? Or have they set up associates unto Allah, who have created even as He hath created, so that the Creation hath become dubious unto them! Say thou: Allah is the Creator of everything


tafseer:
For these who answer their Lord is ordained good. And those who answer not their Lord--if they had all that is in the earth, and therewith the like thereof, they would ransom themselves therewith. These! for them shall be an evil reckoning


tafseer:
Shall he then who knoweth that which is sent down unto thee is the truth be like unto him who is blind! Only the men of understanding are admonished


tafseer:
And those who enjoin that which Allah hath commanded to be enjoined, and fear their Lord, and dread the evil reckoning


tafseer:
And those who persevere seeking the countenance of their Lord and establish prayer, and expend out of that wherewith We have provided them, secretly and openly, and combat evil with good. These! for them is the happy end in the Abode:


tafseer:
And those who violate the covenant of Allah after the ratification thereof, and sunder that which Allah hath commanded to be conjoined, and act corruptly in the earth--these! unto them is a curse, and unto them shall be the evil Abode.


tafseer:
Allah enlargeth the provision for whomsoever He Willeth and , stinteth. And they exult in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world, by the side of the Hereafter, is only a Passing enjoyment.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: wherefore is not a sign sent down unto him from his Lord! Say thou: verily Allah sendeth astray whomsoever He will and guideth unto Himself whosoever turnoth in penitence--


tafseer:
They are those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Lo! in the remembrance of Allah hearts do find rest.


tafseer:
Thus We have sent thee unto a community before whom other communities have passed away, in order that thou mayest recite unto them that which We have Revealed unto thee


tafseer:
And if there were a Qur´an whereby the mountains could be moved or Whereby the earth could be traversed or whereby the dead could be spoken to, it would be in vain. Aye! the affair belongeth to Allah entirely. Have not then those who believe yet known that had Allah willed, He would have guided all mankind! And a rattling adversity ceaseth not to befall those who disbelieve for that which they have wrought or to alight nigh unto their habitation. until Allah´s promise cometh


tafseer:
Is He, then, who is ever standing over every soul with that which he earneth, like unto other! And yet they have set up associates unto Allah. Say thou: name them


tafseer:
And Thus We have sent it down as a judgment in Arabic, And surely wert thou to follow their vain desires, after that which hath come to thee of knowledge, thou wilt not have against Allah any patron or protector.


tafseer:
And assuredly We sent apostles before thee and We made for them wives and progeny and it is not for an apostle to Produce a verse except by the command of Allah


tafseer:
And whether We shew thee part of that which We have promised them, or We take thee away, on thee is only the preaching, and on Us is the reckoning.


tafseer:
Behold they not that We visit the landj diminishing it by the borders thereof Allah judgeth, and there is no reviser of His judgment


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: thou art not a sent one. Say thou: Allah is a sufficient witness between me and you, and also he with whom is knowledge of the Book.


tafseer:
Alif. Lam. Ra. This is a Book which We have sent down unto thee, that thou mayest bring the mankind forth from the darknesses unto the light, by the command of their Lord: unto the path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
Those who prefer the life of the world to the Hereafter, and hinder people from the way of Allah, and seek crookedness therein


tafseer:
And We sent not an apostle but with the speech of his people that he might expound unto them. Then Allah sendeth astray whomsoever He will, and guideth whomsoever He will. And He is the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
And assuredly We sent Musa with our signs saying: bring thy people forth from the darknesses unto the light, and remind them of the annals of Allah. Verily therein are signs for everyone patient, and thankful.


tafseer:
And recall what time Musa said unto his people: remember the favour of Allah upon you when He delivered you from the house of Fir´awn who were imposing upon you evil torment, slaughtering your sons and letting your women live, and therein was from your Lord a trial terrible.


tafseer:
And what time your Lord proclaimed: if ye give thanks, surely I will increase you, and if ye disbelieve, verily My torment severe.


tafseer:
And Musa said: if ye disbelive, -- ye and all those who are on the earth-then verily Allah is self-sufficient, Praiseworthy. disquieting.


tafseer:
Hath not the tidings come to you of those before you: the people of Nuh and the ´Aad and the Thamud and those after them! None knoweth them save Allah. There came unto them their apostles with the evidences,but they put their hands to their mouths, and said: verily we disbelieve in that where- with ye have been sent, and verily regarding that to which ye call Us We are in doubt disquieting.


tafseer:
Their apostles said: is there doubt about Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? He calleth you that he may forgive you of your sins and retain you till a term fixed. They said: ye are but like us


tafseer:
Their apostles said unto them: we are naught but human beings like but Allah bestoweth favour on you, of His bond whomsoever He willeth and it is not for us to bring you a men command of warrantv except by the Allah. On Allah then let the believers rely.


tafseer:
And wherefore should we not rely on Allah when He hath surely guided us our ways! And surely we shall bear patiently that with which ye afflict us and in Allah then let the trustful put their trust.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieved said to their apostles: we will surely drive you forth from our land, or else ye will have to return to our faith. Then their Lord Revealed unto them: We will surely destroy the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And We will surely cause you to dwell in the land after them: that is for him who feareth standing before Me and feareth My threat.


tafseer:
Which he gulpeth, but wellnigh swalloweth not. And death cometh upon him from every side, while yet he is not dead, and behind him is a torment terrible.


tafseer:
The likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their works are like ashes upon which the wind bloweth hard on a stormy day: they shall not be able to get aught of that which they have earned. That! that is the straying far-off


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not that Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with a purpose? If He willed He would make you pass away and bring a creation new.


tafseer:
And they all shall appear before Allah, then those who were counted weak shall say to those who were stiff-necked: verily we were unto you a following, are ye going to avail us at all against the torment of AllAh? They Will say: had Allah guided, We would have guided you also


tafseer:
And the Satan will say, When the affair hath been decreed: verily Allah promised you a promise of truth


tafseer:
And those who believed and worked righteous works shall be made to enter Gardens whereunder rivers flow as abiders therein by the command of their Lord, their greeting therein will be: peace!


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not how Allah hath propounded the similitude of the clean word? It is like a clean tree, its root firmly fixed, and its branches reaching unto heaven.


tafseer:
Giving its fruit at every season, by the command of the Lord. And Allah propoundeth similitudes for mankind that haply they may be admonished.


tafseer:
And the similitude of the foul word is as a foul tree, uprooted from upon the earth, and there is for it no stability.


tafseer:
Allah keepeth firm those who believe by the firm Word in the life of the world and in the Hereafter, and Allah sendeth astray the wrong-doers. And Allah doth that which He willeth.


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not those who returned the favour of Allah with infidelity and caused their people to alight in the dwelling of perdition:


tafseer:
And they have set up compeers unto Allah, that they may lead men astray from His way. Say thou: enjoy, then verily your vending is unto the Fire.


tafseer:
Say thou unto those of My bond- men who have believed, let them establish prayer and expend of that wherewith We have provided them secretly and openly, ere the Day cometh wherein there will be no bargain nor friendliness.


tafseer:
Allah it is who hath created the heavens and the earth, and sent down from the heaven water, and hath there by brought forth fruits as a provision for you


tafseer:
And He hath vouchsafed unto you some of everything ye asked Him. And if ye would count Allah´s favours, ye can not compute them


tafseer:
And recall what time Ibrahim said: my Lord! make this City secure and keep me and my sons away from worshipping the idols.


tafseer:
Our Lord! verily have caused some of my progeny to dwell in a valley uncultivable near Thy Sacred House, Our Lord! in order that they may establish prayer


tafseer:
My Lord! make me establisher of prayer and also from my progeny, our Lord! and accept Thou my supplication.


tafseer:
Our Lord! forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day whereon will be set up the reckoning.


tafseer:
And deem not Allah negligent of that which the wrong-doers work: He only deferreth them to a Day whereon the sighthall remain staring.


tafseer:
They hastening forward, their heads upraised, their look returning not unto them and their hearts void.


tafseer:
And ye dwell in the dwellings of those who had wronged themselves and it had become manifest unto you in what wise We had dealt with them, and We had propounded for you similitudes.


tafseer:
And of a surety theys Plotted their plot, and with Allah was their plot, though their plot was such as to remove thereby mountains.


tafseer:
That Allah may requite each soul according to that which he hath earned: verily Allah is swift in reckoning.


tafseer:
This is a preaching for mankind, and that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that there is only one God, and that the men of understanding may be admonished.


tafseer:
And the earth! We have stretched it out and have cast thereon mountains firm, and We have caused to spring up thereon everything weighed.


tafseer:
And We have appointed thereon for you livelihoods and also for those of whom ye are not the providers.


tafseer:
And there is not of aught but with Us are the treasures thereof, and We send it not down save in a measure known


tafseer:
And We send the winds fertilizing, then We send down water from the heaven and We give it to you to drink, and thereof ye could not be the treasurers.


tafseer:
And recall what time thy Lord said unto the angels: verily I am about to createa man from ringing clay of loam moulded.


tafseer:
He said it was not for me that should prostrate myself unto a human being whom Thou hast created from ringing clay of loam moulded.


tafseer:
He said: my Lord! because Thou hast led me to err I will surely make things fairseeming unto them on the earth and will surely seduce them all:


tafseer:
Verily as for My bondmen, no authority shalt thou have over them, except the erring one who follow thee.


tafseer:
And We shall have removed whatsoever of grudge may be in their breasts: brethren they. sitting upon couches facing each other.


tafseer:
He said: bear ye me glad tidings when old age hath touched me? of what then ye bear me glad tidings?


tafseer:
So set out thou with thy house hold in a portion of the night, and follow thou their backs, and let not one of you look back, and pass whither ye are commanded.


tafseer:
And We decreed unto him this commandment because the last of those was to be cut off in the early morning.


tafseer:
And We have not created the heaven and the earth and that which is in between them save with a purpose. And verily the Hour is surely coming


tafseer:
The affair of Allah cometh, so seek not to hasten it. Hallowed be He and Exalted above that which they associate.


tafseer:
He sendeth down the angels with the spirit by His command upon whomsoever of his bondmen He willeth: warn that there is no god but I, wherefore fear Me.


tafseer:
He hath created the heavens and the earth with a purpose. Exalted is He above that which they associate.


tafseer:
And the cattle! He hath created them. For you in them there is warmth and other profits and of them ye eat.


tafseer:
And for you there is beauty in them as ye drive them at eventide and as ye drive them out to pasture.


tafseer:
He it is who sendeth down from the heaven water for you, wherefrom is drinking and wherefrom are trees whereas ye pasture your herds.


tafseer:
He groweth for you thereby the corn and olives and date- palms and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Verily therein is a sign for a people who ponder.


tafseer:
And He hath subiected for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Verily therein are signs for a people who understand.


tafseer:
And He hath subjected for you whatsoever He hath multiplied for you on the earth of various kinds. Verily therein is a sign for a people who receive admonition.


tafseer:
And He it is who hath subjected the sea that ye may eat thereout flesh fresh and bring forth therefrom ornaments that ye wear. And thou beholdest ships ploughing therein, and it is in order that ye may seek of His grace, and that haply ye may give thanks.


tafseer:
And He hath cast on the earth firm mountains lest it move away with you, and rivers and paths that haply ye may be directed.


tafseer:
And if ye would count the favours of Allah ye could not compute them verily Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And when it is said unto them: what is it that your Lord hath sent down? they say: fables of the ancient.


tafseer:
That they may bear their burthens in full on the Judgment- Day and also some of the burthens of those whom they have led astray without knowledge. Lo! vile is that which they shall bear!


tafseer:
Surely there plotted those before them, but Allah came upon their structures from the foundations, so the roof fell down upon them from above them and the torment came upon them whence they perceived not.


tafseer:
Then on the Judgment-Day He will humiliate them and say: where are My associates regarding whom ye have been causing cleavage? Those who have been vouchsafed knowledge will say: verily the humiliation to-day and ill-hap are upon the infidels-


tafseer:
Those whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging them selves, and then they proffer submission: we have not been working any evil. Yea! verily Allah is the Knower of that which ye have been working.


tafseer:
And when it is said unto those who fear: what is it that your Lord hath sent down? They say: that which is better. For those who do good is good in this world, and the dwelling of the Hereafter is better. Excellent is the dwelling of the God-fearing!


tafseer:
Those whom the angels cause to die while they are clean, saying peace be upon you! enter the Garden for that which ye have working.


tafseer:
Await they aught but that the angels should come unto them or the command of thy Lord should come Likewise did those before them. Allah wronged them not, but they were wont to wrong themselves.


tafseer:
Then there be-fell them the vices of that which they had worked, and there surrounded them that whereat they had been mocking.


tafseer:
And those who associate say: had God willed we would not have worshipped aught beside Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor we would have forbidden aught without Him. Like-wise did those before them. Naught is then on the apostles except a preaching plain.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have raised in every community an apostle saying: worship Allah and avoid the devil. Then of them were some whom Allah guided, and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified. Wherefore travel about on the earth, and look on what wise hath been the end of the disbelievers.


tafseer:
If thou art solicitous for their guidance, then verily Allah guideth not whomsoever He sendeth astray, and for them there are no helpers.


tafseer:
And they swear by God the most solemn of oaths that God would not raise him who dieth. Yea! it is a promise on Him incumbent but most of mankind know not.


tafseer:
This will be in order that he may manifest unto them that wherein they differ, and that those who disbelieved should come to know that they had been liars.


tafseer:
And those who have emigrated for the sake of Allah after they had been wronged. We shall surely settle them well in the world and the hire of the Hereafter is greater: if they but know!


tafseer:
With evidences and scriptures We sent them. And We have sent down unto thee the Admonition that thou mayest expound unto mankind that which hath been revealed toward them, and that haply they may reflect.


tafseer:
Feel then they secure who have plctted vices that Allah will not sink them into the earth or that the torment may come upon them whence they perceive not?


tafseer:
Have they not observed the things which Allah hath created? shadows thereof turn themselves on the right and on the left. prostrating themselves unto Allah, and they are lowly.


tafseer:
And unto Allah prostrateth itself whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of the living creatures and also the angels


tafseer:
That they may show ingratitude for that which We have vouchsafed unto them. Enjoy then, presently ye shall know.


tafseer:
And they appoint for that which they knew not a portion of that wherewith We have provided them By Allah! ye will surely be questioned regarding that which ye have been fabricating.


tafseer:
And they appoint for Allah daughters --hallowed be He! -- and for themselves that which they desire.


tafseer:
And when there is announced unto any of them a female his countenance remainoth darkened the whole day and he is wroth inwardly.


tafseer:
Skulking from the people because of the evil of that which hath been announced unto him: shall he keepit with ignominy or bury it in the dust! Lo´. vile is that which they judge!


tafseer:
For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil similitude, and for Allah is the sublime similitude, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
And if Allah were to lay hold of mankind for their wrong- doing, not a living creature He would leave on it, but he deferreth them to a term appointed, then, when their term cometh, they cannot put it off by an hour not anticipate it.


tafseer:
And they ascribe to Allah that which they detest, and their tongues utter the lie that unto them shall be good


tafseer:
By Allah! assuredly We have sent apostles to communities before thee, then the Satan made their works fairseeming unto them, so he is their patron to-day, and unto them shall be a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
And We have not sent down the Book unto thee save in order that thou mayest expound unto them that wherein they differ, and as a guidance and a mercy unto a people who believe.


tafseer:
And Allah hath sent down from the heaven water, then he reviveth the earth thereby after the death thereof


tafseer:
And verily there is for you in the cattle a lesson: We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the dung and the blood: milk Pure and pleasant to swallow for the drinkers.


tafseer:
And also a lesson for you in the fruits of the date-palms and the grapes whereof ye take a liquor and a provision goodly


tafseer:
And thy Lord inspired the bee saying: take thou for thyself of the mountains houses and of the trees and of that which they erect.


tafseer:
Then eat thou of all the fruits and tread the ways of thy Lord made easy. There springeth forth from their bellies a drink varied in colours


tafseer:
And Allah hath appointed for yourselves spouses, and from your spouses He hath appointed for you sons and grandsons, and He hath provided you with clean foods. In falsehood then believe they, and in Allah´s favour disbelieve they?


tafseer:
And they worship, beside Allah, that which owneth them not any provision from the heavens and the earth, and they cannot


tafseer:
And Allah propoundeth a similitude: there are two men, one of them dumb who hath of Power over aught and is a weariness unto his master, whithersoever he directeth him he bringeth not any good


tafseer:
And Allah´s is the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and the affair of the Hour will be not but as a flash of the eye, or it is even nearer, verily Allah is over everything Potent.


tafseer:
And Allah hath brought you forth from the bellies of your mothers while ye know not aught, and He hath appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts that haply ye might give thanks.


tafseer:
Behold they not the birds subjected in the firmament of the heaven? Naught supporteth them save Allah


tafseer:
Allah hath appointed for you from your houses a repose, and He hath appointed for you from the skins of the cattle houses which ye find light , on the day of your flitting and on the day of your stopping, and from their wools and their furs and their hair a furnishing and an enjoyment for a season.


tafseer:
And Allah hath appointed for you, of that which He hath created shades, and He hath appointed for you from the mountains places of retreat, and He hath appointed for you coats protecting you from the heat and coats protecting you from the violence. Thus He perfecteth His favour on you that haply ye may submit.


tafseer:
And bewore a Day whereon We will raise up from each community a witness, then those who have disbelieved will not be given leave, nor they will be permitted to please Allah.


tafseer:
And when those who have done wrong will behold the torment, it will not be lightened unto them, nor will they be respited.


tafseer:
And when those who have associated will behold their associate-gods, they will say: our Lord! yonder are our associate-gods upon whom we have been calling beside Thee, they Will proffer them the saying: verily ye are liars.


tafseer:
And they will proffer sub mission unto Allah on that Day, and there will stray from them that which they have been fabricating.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieved and hindered others from the way of Allah- We shall increase for them torment upon torment for they have been spreading corruption.


tafseer:
And beware a Day whereon We shall raise up in every community a witness regarding them from amongst them selves, and We shall bring thee as a witness regarding these. And We, have revealed unto thee the Book as an exposition of everything and as a guidance and mercy and glad tidings to the Muslims.


tafseer:
And fulfil the covenant of Allahs when ye have covenanted, and violate not the oaths after the ratification thereof, and surely ye have appointed Allah a surety over you. verily Allah knoweth that which ye do:


tafseer:
And be not like unto her who unravelleth her yarn into strands after its strength, holding your oaths a means of discord amongst you that a community may be more numerous than anot her community


tafseer:
And had Allah willed, He would have made you all one community, but he sendeth astray whomsoever He willeth, and guideth whomsoever He willeth


tafseer:
And make not your oaths a means of discord amongst you lest a foot may slip after the fixture thereof, and ye may taste evil for having hindered others from the way of Allah, and unto you there shall be a torment mighty.


tafseer:
That which is with you is exhausted, and that which is with Allah is lasting. And We will surely recompense those who have been patient their hire for the best of that which they have been working


tafseer:
Whosoever worketh righteously, male or female, and is a believer, We will surely quicken him to a clean life, and will surely recompense them their hire for the best of that which they have been working.


tafseer:
And whenever We change a verse in place of anot her verse - -and Allah is the Best Knower of that wwhich He revealeth --they say: thou art but a fabricator, Aye! most of them know not.


tafseer:
Say thou: the Holy Spirit hath brought it down from thy Lord with truth, that it may establish those who believe, and as a guidance and glad tidings unto the Muslims.


tafseer:
And assuredly We know that they say: it is only a human being who teachech him. The speech of him unto whom they incline is foreign while this is Arabic speech plain.


tafseer:
Verily those who believe not in the signs of Allah--Allah shall not guide them, and unto them shall be a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
It is only those who believe not in the signs of Allah who fabricate lie, and those! they are the liars.


tafseer:
Whosoever disbelieveth in Allah after his belief--save him who is constrained and his heart is at rest with the belief -but whosoever expandeth his breast to infidelity, upon them shall be wrath from Allah, and unto them shall be a torment mighty.


tafseer:
That is because they loved the life of the world above the Hereafter, and because Allah guideth not an infidel people.


tafseer:
Then, verily, thy Lord unto those who have emigrated after they had been tempted and have thereafter striven hard and endured, verily thy Lord thereafter is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Beware a Day whereon each soul will come pleading for itself, and each soul will be paid in full that which it hath wrought, and they shall not be wronged.


tafseer:
And Allah propoundeth a similitude: a town which was secure and at rest, to which came the provision thereof plenteously from every place


tafseer:
And assuredly there came to them an apostle from among them, but they belied him, wherefore the torment took hold of them while yet they were wrong-doers.


tafseer:
So eat of that which Allah hath provided you of lawful and clean things, and give thanks for Allah´s favour, if it is He whom ye are went to Worship.


tafseer:
He hath only disallowed unto you the dead-meat and blood and swine-flesh and that over which is invoked the name of other than Allah. Then whosoever is driven by necessity, not alusting nor transgressing verily Allah Is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And say not concerning that wherein Your togues utter a lie: this is lawful, and this is unlawful, that ye may fabricate a lie againt Allah, verily those who fabricate lie against Allah shall not fare well.


tafseer:
Then, verily, thy Lord unto those who work evil from ignorance, and then repent thereafter and amend, verily thy Lord thereafter is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Call them unto the way of thy Lord with Wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them with that which is best. Verily thy Lord! He is the Best Knower of him who hath strayed from His way, and He is the Best Knower of the guided ones.


tafseer:
And if ye chastise, then chastise with the like of that wherewith ye were afflicted, and if ye endure patiently, then surely it is better for the patient.


tafseer:
Hallowed be He Who translated His bondman in a night from the Sacred Mosque to the Furthest Mosque, the environs whereof We have blest, that We might shew him of Our signs


tafseer:
And We vouchsafed unto Musa the Book and We appointed it as a guidance to the Children of Isra´il: take not beside Me a trustee.


tafseer:
Then when the promise for the first of the two came, We raised against you bondmen of Ours endued with exceeding violence, so they entered the dwellings


tafseer:
Thereafter We gave you a return of victory over them, and We supported you with riches and children, and We made you a numerous concourse.


tafseer:
If ye will do well ye will do well for yourselves, and if ye will do evil it will be against the same. Then when the promise of the second came, We raised up a people that they may disgrace your faces and may enter the Mosque even as they entered it the first time, and that they may destroy with utter destruction whatsoever may fall under their power.


tafseer:
Verily this Qur´an guideth unto that path which its sraightest and beareth glad tidings to the believers who work righteous deeds that for them shall be a hire great.


tafseer:
And that those who believe not in the Hereafter--for them We have gotten ready a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
And every man: We have fastened his action round his neck, and We shall bring forth unto him on the Day of Judgment a book proffered him open.


tafseer:
Whosoever is guided, it is only for himself that he is guided and whosoever Strayeth, it is only against the same that he strayeth


tafseer:
And when We intend that We shall destroy a town We command the affluent people thereof, then they transgress therein


tafseer:
- Whosoever intendeth the quick Passing world, We hasten to him therein whatsoever We please unto whomsoever We intend


tafseer:
And whosoever intendeth the Hereafter and striveth therefor with due striving, while he is a believer, then those: their striving shall be appreciated.


tafseer:
And lower unto them the wing of meekness out of mercy, and say: O my Lord! have mercy on the twain even as they brought me up when young.


tafseer:
Verily the squanderers are ever the brethren of the Satans, and the satan is ever unto his Lord ungrateful.


tafseer:

tafseer:
And go not thou after that where of thou hast no knowledge verily the hearing and the sight and the heart, each of these shall be asked about.


tafseer:
That is Part of that wisdom which thy Lord hath revealed unto thee, and set not up thou along with Allah anot her god, lest thou be cast into Hell, reproved, rejected.


tafseer:
Hath then your Lord distinguished you with sons and taken for Himself females from among the angels? Verily ye say a saying mighty?


tafseer:
And assurelly We have propounded it variously in this Qur´an that they might be admonished, but it increaseth them only in aversion.


tafseer:
Say thou: were there along with Him other gods, as they say, then they would have brought unto the Owner of the Throne a way.


tafseer:
There hallow Him the seven heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein. And naught there is but halloweth His praise, but ye understand not their hallowing


tafseer:
And when thou recitest the Qur´an, We set up between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a curtain drawn down.


tafseer:
And We set up over their hearts veils lest they understand it, and in their ears heaviness and when thou mentionest in reciting the Qur´an thy Lord alone, they turn backward as averters.


tafseer:

tafseer:
And they say: when we shall have become bones and fragments, shall we in sooth be raised as a new creation?


tafseer:
Or anything created of the things more remote in your breasts. Then they will say: who will restore us! Say thou: He who created you the first time. Then they will wag their heads at thee and say


tafseer:
The Day whereon He will call you, and ye will answerl with His praise, and ye will imagine that ye had tarried but little.


tafseer:
Say thou unto My bondmen that they should say that which is best, Verily the Satan would stir up strife between them


tafseer:
And thine Lord is the Best Knower of those who are in the heavens and the earth. And assuredly We have preferred some prophets over some others: and We vouchsafed unto Daud a Scripture.

Those whom they call upon themselves seek access to their Lord, striving which of them shall be the nearest


tafseer:
Not a town is there but VVe are going to destroy it before the Day of Judgment or to torment it With a severe torment


tafseer:
And naught hinderedeth Us from sending the signs except that the ancients belied them. And We vouchsafed unto Thamud a she-camel as an illumination, but they did her wrong. And We send not the signs save to frighten.


tafseer:
And recall what time We said unto thee: verily thy Lord hath encompassed mankind. And We made the vision We shewed thee but a temptation for men, and likewise the tree accurst in the Qur´an. And We frighten them, but it only increaseth them in exorbitance great.


tafseer:
And recall what time We said unto the angels: prostrate youselves before Adam. So they prostrated themselves, but Iblis did not


tafseer:
And unsettle thou whomsoever of them thou canst with thy voice, and summon against them thine horse and thine foot, and share with them riches- and children, and promise unto them


tafseer:
And when there toucheth you a distress on the sea, those whom ye call upon fall away except Him alone, then when He delivereth you on the land ye turn away: and man is ever ungrateful.


tafseer:
Are ye then secure that he will not cause a side of the land to swallow you up, or send over you a sand-storm, and then ye will not find for yourselves a trustee?


tafseer:
Or are ye secure that he will not send you back therein anot her time and then send upon you a gale of wind and drown you for your having disbelieved, so that therein you will not find for yourselves against Us an avenger?


tafseer:
And assuredly We have honoured the Children of Adam: and We have borne them on the land and the sea, and We have provided them with clean things, and We have preferred them over many of them whom We have created with a preferment.


tafseer:
Remember the Day whereon We shall call all man kind with their record: then whosoever will be vouchsafed his book in his right hand, those shall read their book, and they shall not be wronged a whit.


tafseer:
And whosoever hath been in this life blind will in the Hereafter be blind, and far astray from the way.


tafseer:
And verily they had well-nigh tempted thee away from that which We have revealed unto thee, that thou shouldst fabricate regarding something else

In that case We would have surely made thee taste the double of the tornment of the life and the double of the torment of death, and then thou wouldst not find against Us a helper.

tafseer:
And We reveal by means of the Qur´an that which is a healing and a mercy unto the believers, and it only increaseth the wrong- doers in loss.


tafseer:
Say thou: everyone worketh after his disposition, and your Lord is the Best Knower of him who is best guided on the Way.


tafseer:
And they ask thee regarding the spirit, Say thou: the spirit is by the command of my Lord, and ye have not been vouchsafed of knowledge save a little.


tafseer:
And if We listed, We could surely take away that which We have revealed unto thee: then thou wilt not find in respect thereof against us as trustee.


tafseer:
Say thou: if the mankind and the jinn leagued together that they might produce the like of this Qur´an, they could nor produce the like thereof, though one to the other were a backer.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have variously propounded for mankind in this Qur´an every kind of similitude, yet most men have refused everything except infidelity.


tafseer:
And they say: we shall by no means believe in thee until thou causest for us to gush forth from the earth a foun tain.


tafseer:
Or there be for thee a garden of date-palms and wine, and thou causest in the midst thereof rivers to gush forth.

Or there be for thee a house of gold or thou mountest to the heaven, and we will by no means believe in thy mounting even until thou causest a book to be sent down to us, which we may read. Say thou: hallowed be my Lord! I am naught but a human being sent as an apostle.


tafseer:
And naught hath prevented men from believing when the guidance came Unto them except that they said: hath God sent a human being as apostle?


tafseer:
Say thou: were there in the earth angels walking about contentedly, We would surely have sent down unto them from the heaven an angel as an apostle.


tafseer:
This shall be their meed because they disbelieved in Our signs and said when we have become bones and fragments, shall we in sooth be raised up a new creation!


tafseer:
Behold they not that Allah who created the heavens and the earth is Able to create their likes? And He hath appointed for them a term whereof there is no doubt


tafseer:
Say thou: if it were ye who owned the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, ye would surely refrain for fear of expending


tafseer:
And assuredly We vouchsafed unto Musa nine manifest signs - ask thou the Children of Israel--so when he came unto them, Fir´awn said unto him, verily imagine thee, O Musa! enchanted.


tafseer:
Musa said: assuredly thou knowest that none hath sent down these save the Lord of the heavens and the earth as an enlightenment


tafseer:
And We said, after him, unto the Children of Isra´l: dwell on the earth, then when there cometh the promise of the Hereafter, We shall bring you as a crowd.


tafseer:
And this is a Recitation which We have made distinct that thou mayest recite it unto mankind with delay, and We have revealed it at intervals.


tafseer:
Say thou: whether ye believe it or believe it not, verily those who were vouchsafed knowledge before it, when it is recited unto them, fall down on their chins, prostrating.


tafseer:
Say thou: call upon Allah or call upon Rahman, by whichsoever ye call, His are the excellent names. And shout not thy prayer, nor speak it low, but Seek between these a way.


tafseer:
And say thou: all praise is unto Allah who hath not taken a son, and whose is no associate in the dominion, nor hath He a protector through weakness, and magnify Him with all magnificence.

All praise unto Allah who hath sent down unto His bondman the Book, and hath not placed therein any crookedness.

tafseer:
Recall what time the youths betook themselves to the cave, then said: our Lord! vouchsafe unto us mercy from before Thee, and prepare for us in our affair a right course.


tafseer:
Thereafter We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties was best at reckoning the time that they had tarried.


tafseer:
We recount unto thee their tidings With truth. Verily they were certain youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.


tafseer:
And We braced their hearts when they stood forth and said: our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth


tafseer:
These, our people, have taken for themselves gods beside Him - wherefore bring they not for them an authority manifest? --and who doth greater wrong than he who fabricateth against God a lie?


tafseer:
And now when ye have withdrawn from them and that which they worship, except God, betake yourselves to the cave


tafseer:
And thou Woudst behold the sun when it riseth veering away from their cave on the right, and when it setteth, passing them by on the left, while they were in the spacious part thereof: that is of the signs of Allah. Whomsoever Allah guideth, he indeed is the guided


tafseer:
And thou wouldst have deemed them awakes whereas they were asleep and We turned them over on the right side and on the left side, while their dog stretched forth his two forelegs on the threshold. If thou hadst observed them, thou wouldst have surely turned away from them in fright, and wouldst have surely been filled with awe of them.


tafseer:
Verily they, if they come to know of you, would stone you or make you revert to their faith, and lo! then ye will never fare well.


tafseer:
And likewise We caused their affair to be lit upon that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that the Hour- there is no doubt thereof, Recall what time they were disputing among themselves regarding their affair, and then they said: build over them a building--their Lord is the Best Knower about them-then those who prevailed in their affair said: surely we will raise over them a place of worship.


tafseer:
Anon they will say: they were three the fourth of them their dog. And they will say: they were five, the sixth of them their dog- -guessing at the unknown --and they willl say: they were seven, the eighth of them their dog. Say thou: my Lord is the Best Knower of their number


tafseer:
And endure thy self in the company of those who call upon their Lord in the morning and evening seeking His and let not thine eyes countenance rove from them seeking the adornment of the life of this world, and obey thou not him whose heart We have made to neglect Our remembrance, and who followeth his lust, and whose affair is exceeding the bound.


tafseer:
Verily those who believe and work the righteous works-- verily We waste not the hire of one who doth well in regard to his work.


tafseer:
Propound thou unto them the similitude of two men. We appointed to one of them two gardens of vine and hedged both with date- palms, and We placed in-between the twain tillage.


tafseer:
And he had property. Then he Said unto his fellow while he spake with him: I am more than thou in substance and am mightier in respect of retinue.


tafseer:
His fellow said unto him, while he spake with him: hast thou disbelieved in Him Who created thee of dust, then of a sperm, and formed thee a man?


tafseer:
Wherefore saidst thou not, when thou enteredest thy garden: whatsoever Allah may will! there is no power save in Allah! If thou beholdest I am inferior to thee in substance and offspring.


tafseer:
Then belike my Lord will vouchsafe unto me something better than thy garden and send thereon a belt from the heaven that it become a plane slippery.


tafseer:
Herein is all protection from Allah the True: He is excellent in respect of reward and excellent in respect of the final end!


tafseer:
And propound thou unto them the similitude of the life of the World. It is as water which We send down from the heaven, then there mingleth therewith the vegetation of the earth, and lo! it becometh dry stubble which the winds scatter and Allah is over everything potent.


tafseer:
Substance and sons are the adornment of the life of the World, and the righteous works that last are excellent with thy Lord in respect of reward, and excellent in respect of hope.


tafseer:
And beware a Day whereon we will make the mountains to pass, and thou wilt see the earth away plain, and We shall gather them, and We shall leave of them not one.


tafseer:
And they shall be sent before thy lord in ranks! now are ye come to Us even as We had created you the first time


tafseer:
And the Book shall be placed, and thou wilt see the culprits alarmed at that which is therein, and they will say: Ah! woe unto us! what aileth this book that it leaveth not any sin small or great but it hath computed it! And they shall find all that they had wrought present


tafseer:
And recall what time we said unto the angels: prostrate yourselves before Adam, and they prostrated themselves, but Iblis did not


tafseer:
I Made them not present at the creation of the heavens and the earth nor at the creation of themselves


tafseer:
And beware a Day whereon He will say: cry unto my associates say cry unto whom ye fancied. So they will call unto them, and they will answer them not, and We shall place between them a partition.


tafseer:
And the culprits will behold the Fire and imagine that they are about to fall therein, and they shall not find therefrom a way of escape.


tafseer:
And naught preventeth mankind from believing when the guidance hath come unto them, and from asking foregiveness of their Lord, but that there may come unto them the dispensation of the ancients, or that the torment may come Unto them face to face.


tafseer:
And who doth greater wrong than he who is admonished with the signs of His Lord yet turneth away from them and forgetteth that which his hands have sent forth? Verily We have set up veils over lest they should understand it, and in their ears a heaviness


tafseer:
And thy Lord is the Forgiver, Owner of mercy. Were He to call them to account for that which they have earned


tafseer:
And these cities! We destroyed them when they did wrong, and We had appointed for their destruction a tryst.


tafseer:
And recall what time Musa said unto his page: I shall not cease until I reach the confluence of the two seas, or I shall go on for ages.


tafseer:
And when the twain reached the confluence of the two, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the sea freely.


tafseer:
And when the twain had passed by, he said unto his page: bring us our morning-meal, assuredly we have met from this journey of ours, toil


tafseer:
Musa said: that is that which we have been seeking. So they turned back upon their footsteps, retracing.


tafseer:
Then the twain found a bondman from Our bondmen, him We had vouchsafed a mercy from before Us, and him We had taught from Our presence a knowledge.


tafseer:
Musa said unto him: shall I follow thee that thou mayest teach me of that which thou hast been taught a directive knowledge.


tafseer:
Then the twain journeyed until when they embarked in a boat, he scuttled it. Musa said: hast thou scuttled it that thou mayest drown the people thereof? Assuredly thou hast committed a thing grievous.


tafseer:
Then the twain journeyed until when they met a boy, and he killed him. Musa said: hast thou slain a person innocent not in return for a Person Assuredly thou hast committed a thing formidable.


tafseer:
Then the twain journeyed until when they came unto the people of a city, they begged food from the people thereof, but they refused to entertain the twain. Then they found therein a wall, about to fall down, and he set it upright. Musa said: hadst thou willed, thou mightest have taken therefor a hire.


tafseer:
As for the boat, it belonged to poor men working in the sea, so I intended to damage it, for there was before them a prince taking every boat by force.


tafseer:
And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we apprehended that he might impose upon the twain exorbitance and infidelity.


tafseer:
So we intended that their Lord should change for the twain one better than he in piety and closer in affection.


tafseer:
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town and underneath it was a treasure belonging to them and their father had been righteous. So thy Lord intended that the twain should attain their maturity and bring forth for themselves their treasure as a mercy from thy Lord. And I did it not of mine own command


tafseer:
Until when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he perceived it setting in a miry spring, and he found beside it a nation. We said: Zul Qarnian! either chastise them or take in respect of them the way of kindness.


tafseer:
He said: as for him who doeth wrong, presently we shall torment him, and thereafter he shall be brought back to his Lord, and He shall torment him with a torment formidable.


tafseer:
And as for him who believeth and worketh righteously, unto him shall be a goodly hire, and anon we shall speak unto him of our affair something easy.


tafseer:
Until when he reached the rising place of the sun, he perceived it rising upon a nation for whom against it We had not set a veil.


tafseer:
Until when he arrived between the two mountains, he found beside them a people who well-nigh understood not a word.


tafseer:
Bring me lumps of iron. Then when he had evened Up between the two mountain-sides, he said: blow! Then when he had made it fire, he said: bring me and I shall pour thereon molten cOpper.


tafseer:
And We shall leave them on that day surging one against anot her and the trumpet shall be blown, and then We shall assemble them together.


tafseer:
Unto those whose eyes had been under a covering from My remembrance, nor had they been able to hear.


tafseer:
Deem then those who disbelieve that they may take My bondmen, instead of Me, as patrons! Verily We have gotten ready the Hell for the infidels as an entertainment.


tafseer:
They are those whose effort is wasted in the life of the world, and they deem that they are doing well in performance.


tafseer:
That shall be their meed--Hell-for they disbelieved and held My revelations and My apostles in mockery.


tafseer:
Verily those who believe and do righteous works, unto them shall be gardens of Paradise for an entertainment.


tafseer:
Say thou: were the sea to become ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would surely exhaust ere the words of my Lord exhausted, even though We brought onot her like thereof for support.


tafseer:
He said: O my Lord! verily the bones of me have waxen feeble, and the head is glistening with hoariness, and have not yet been in my prayer to thee, my Lord, unblest.


tafseer:
He said: O my Lord! in what wise shall there be for me a boy, whereas my wife hath been barren, and surely have reached an age of extreme degree?


tafseer:
Allah said: even so! Thy Lord saith: it is unto Me easy, whereas surely I created thee afore when thou wast not aught.


tafseer:
He said: my Lord appoint for me a sign. Allah said: thy sign is that thou shalt not speak unto mankind for three nights, while sound.


tafseer:
Then he came forth to his people from the sanctuary, and he beckoned unto them. hallow your Lord morning and evening.


tafseer:
And Peace be unto him the day he was born and the day he dieth and the day he will be raised up alive.


tafseer:
She said: in what wise shall there be a boy unto me, whereas not a human being hath touched me, nor have I been a harlot?


tafseer:
He said: even so! Thy Lord saith: it is With Me easy, and it is in order that We may make him a sign unto mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is an affair decreed.


tafseer:
Then one cried unto her from underneath her, that grieve not, thy Lord hath placed underneath thou a rivulet.


tafseer:
Then she brought him to her nation carrying him. They said: Maryam! assuredly thou hast brought a thing unheard Of.


tafseer:
And He hath made me blest wheresoever I may be, and enjoined on me the prayer and the poor-rate as long as I am alive.


tafseer:
Allah is not one to take to Himself a son. Hallowed be He! whensoever He decreeth an affair he only Saith to it: be, and it becometh.


tafseer:
How wondrous in their hearing and their sight will they be the Day they come unto Us! But to-day the wrong doers are in error manifest.


tafseer:
And warn thou them of thy Day of Sighing when the affair shall have been decreed while yet they are in negligence and are not believing.


tafseer:
Verily We! We shall inherit the earth and whatsoever is thereon: and Unto Us they shall be returned.


tafseer:
Recall what time he said unto his father: , O my father! wherefore worshippest thou that which heareth not and seeth not, nor availeth thee at all?


tafseer:
O My father! verily I fear that there may touch thee a torment from the Compassionate so that thou become to the Satan a companin.


tafseer:
Then when he had renounced them and that which they worshipped beside Allah, We best owed on him Ishaq and Yaqub and each one We made a prophet!


tafseer:
And he was wont to command his household to the Prayer and the poor-rate, and he was with his Lord an approved one. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
These are they whom Allah hath favoured, from among the prophets, of the progeny of Adam and of them whom We bare with Nuh, and of the progeny of Ibrahim and Isra´il, and of those whom We have guided and chosen


tafseer:
Such is the Garden which We shall cause those of Our bondmen to inherit who have been God-fearing. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
And we descend not except by the command of thy Lord: his is whatsoever is before us and whatsoever is behind us and whatsoever is in-between


tafseer:
Thereafter, We shall surely draw aside, from each sect, whichever of them against the Compassionate were most in excess. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
Then surely it is We who are the Best Knower of these worthiest of being therein roasted. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
Then We shall deliver those who have feared, and shall have the wrong-doers therein kneeling. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
And when Our manifest revelations are rehearsed unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: which of the two portions is better in station and goodlier in company? *Chapter:19


tafseer:
And how many a generation have We destroyed before these, who were goodlier in goods and outward appearance? *Chapter:19


tafseer:
Say thou: whosoever is in error--surely unto him the Compassionate lengtheneth a length, until When they behold that wherewith they were threatened, either the torment or the Hour, then they shall come to know whosoever is worse in position and weaker as an army. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
And Allah increaseth in guidance those who let themselves be guided, and the righteous works that last are excellent with thy Lord in respect of reward and excellent in respect of return. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
Hast thou observed him who disbelieveth in Our signs and saith: surely I shall be vouchsafed riches and children. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not that We have sent the satans upon the infidels inciting them by an incitement? *Chapter:19


tafseer:
On the Day whereon We shall gather the God-feaing unto the Com- passionate as an embassy. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
They shall not own intercession, excepting those who have taken of the Compassionate a covenant. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
Well-nigh the heavens are rent thereat and the earth cleft in sunder and the mountains fall down in pieces. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
None there is in the heavens and the earth but must come unto the Compassionate as a bondman. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
Verily those who believe and do righteOUs works--anon the Compassionate shall appoint for them affection. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
So We have made it easy in thine tongue in order that thou mayest thereby give glad tidings unto the Godfearing and warn thereby a people contentious. *Chapter:19


tafseer:
And how many a generation have We destroyed before them! Perceivest thou of them anyone or hear of them a whisper? *Chapter:20


tafseer:
His is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever on the earth and - whatsoever is in-between. and whatsoever is underneath the earth.


tafseer:
Recall what time he saw a fire and said to his household, bide ye! verily I have perceived a fire! haply I may bring you from it a brand or may find at the fire a guidance.


tafseer:
Verily the Hour is coming--I wish to conceal it - in Order that every one may be requited according to that which he hath endeavoured.


tafseer:
So let not him who believeth not therein and followeth his own desire keep thee away therefrom lest thou perish.


tafseer:
Saying! cast him in the ark, and cast him into the river, and the river will throw him on the bank, and then an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will take him up. And I cast on thee love from Me in order that thou mayest be formed under Mine eye.


tafseer:
What time thy sister was walking along and saying: shall I direct you unto one who will take care of him! Thus We returned thee to thy mother that she might cool her eyes and she might not grieve. And thou slewest a person, but We delivered thee from sorrow, and We tried thee with several trials. Then thou tarriedst for years among the people of Madyan then thou camest according to fate, O Musa!


tafseer:
So go to him, and say: verily we are two apostles of thy Lord, so let go with us the Children of Isra´il, and torment them not


tafseer:
Verily We! it hath been revealed unto us that the torment will be for him who belieth and turneth away.


tafseer:
Who hath appointed for you the earth as a bed, and hath opened for you therein pathways, and hath sent down from the heaven water, and thereby We have brought forth kinds of plants, various.


tafseer:
Thereof We created you, and thereunto We return you, and therefrom We shall bring You forth once again.


tafseer:
Musa said unto them: woe unto you! fabricate not against Allah a lie, lest he extirpate you with a torment, and surely He who fabricateth, loseth.


tafseer:
They said: verily these two are magicians, intending to drive you forth from your land by their magic and to do away with your superior way.


tafseer:
He said: nay, cast ye down. And lo! their cords and their staves were made to appear to him by their magic as though they were running.


tafseer:
And cast thou down that which is in thy right hand: it shall swallow up that which they have wrought


tafseer:
They said: we shall by no means prefer thee to that which hath come to us of the evidences, and to Him Who hath created us


tafseer:
Verily we! we have believed in our Lord, that he may forgive us our faults, and that to which thou hast constrained us in the way of magic


tafseer:
Verily whosoever cometh unto his lord as a Culprit, for him is Hell wherein he will neither die nor live.


tafseer:
And whosoever cometh unto Him as a believer, and he hath done righteous works---then these! for them are ranks high.


tafseer:
And assuredly We revealed unto Musa, saying: depart in night with my bondmen, and make for them in the sea a parth dry: thou Shalt fear neither overtaking, nor shalt thou be afraid.


tafseer:
Saying: eat of the clean things wherewith We have provided you, and wax not exorbitant in respect thereof, lest My wrath alight on you


tafseer:
And verily I am the Most Forgiving unto whomsoever repenteth and believeth and worketh righteously, and thereafter letteth himself remain guided.


tafseer:
So Musa returned unto his people, indignant and sorrowful. He said: O my people! promised there not your Lord unto you an excellent promise! Lasted then the covenant too long for you, or desired ye that the wrath from your Lord should alight on you, so that ye failed to keep my appointment?


tafseer:
They said: we failed not to keep thy appointment of our own authority, but we were laden with burthens of the people´s ornaments


tafseer:
And he produced for them a calf: a body with a low. Then they Said: this is your god and the god of Musa, and that he forgat.


tafseer:
Harun said: O my mother´s son! hold me not by my beard nor by my head verily feared that thou wouldst say, thou hast caused a division among the Children of Israel and hast not guarded my Word.


tafseer:
Your God is only Allah, the One other than whom there is no god. He comprehendeth everything in knowledge.


tafseer:
The Day whereon the trumpet will be blown into, and We shall gather the culprits on that Day blear-eyed,


tafseer:
We are the Best Knower of that which they will say, when the best of them in judgment Will say: ye tarried not save for a day.


tafseer:
That Day intercession will Profit not except him for whom the Compassionate giveth leave, and of whom He approveth the Word.


tafseer:
He knoweth that which is before them and that which is behind them, and they, encompass it not with their knowledge.


tafseer:
And downcast will be faces before the Living, the Self- subsisting, and disappointed will be he who beareth a wrong.


tafseer:
And whosoever worketh of the righteous works, and is a believer, he will not fear Wrong or begrudging


tafseer:
And Thus We have sent it down, an Arabic Recitation, and have propounded variously therein of the threats, that haply they may fear, or that it may generate in them some admonition.


tafseer:
Exalted is Allah, the True King! And hasten thee not with the Qur´an before there is finished to thee the revelation thereof, and say thou: O my Lord! increase me in knowledge!


tafseer:
And assuredly We covenanted with Adam aforetime, then he forgat, and We found not in him steadiness.


tafseer:
And recall what time We said to the angels: prostrate yourselves before Adam. They fell prostrate, but Iblis did not


tafseer:
And whosoever turneth away from My admonition, for him verily will be a livelihood shrunken, and We shall raise him up on the Day of Judgment sightless.


tafseer:
Thus We requite him who trespasseth and believeth not in the signs of his Lord, and surely the torment of the Hereafter is most severe and most lasting.


tafseer:
Hath it not served as guidance to them how many a generation We have destroyed before them, amidst whose dwellings they Walk! Verily therein are signs for men of sagacity.


tafseer:
So bear thou patiently that which they say, and hallow the praise of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting thereof. And hallow Him in part of the night and the ends of the day, haply thou wilt be pleased.


tafseer:
And strain not thine eyes after that which We have given classes of them to enjoy: the splendour of the life of the World, that We might try them therein


tafseer:
And they Say: wherefore bringeth he not unto us a sign from his Lord? Hath not there came unto them the evidence of that which is in the former Scriptures?


tafseer:
And had We destroyed them With a torment before it, surely they would have said: O our Lord why sent not Thou Unto us an apostle that we might have followed Thy signs before we were disgraced and humiliated.


tafseer:
There cometh not unto them a fresh admonition from their Lord but they listen to it while they are playing.


tafseer:
In sport being their hearts. And those who do wrong keep secret their private discourse this is but a human being like unto yourselves


tafseer:
The Prophet said: my Lord knoweth the word in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
And how many a city have We overthrown which were doing wrong, and We caused to grow up thereafter anot her nation!


tafseer:
Flee not, and return unto that wherein ye luxuriated and your habitations, haply ye will be questioned.


tafseer:
Had We intended that We should choose a sport, surely We would choose it from before Us--if We were ever going to do that.


tafseer:
Had there been in between the twain gods except Allah surely the twain would have gone to ruin. Hallowed be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from that which they utter!


tafseer:
Have they taken gods beside Him? Say thou: forth with your proof This is an admonition unto those with me and an admonition unto those before me. But most of them knew not the truth, and so they are averters.


tafseer:
And We sent not before thee an apostle but We revealed unto him that there is no god but I, so worship Me.


tafseer:
And whosoever of them should say: verily I am a god beside Him, such a one We shall requite with Hell


tafseer:
Have not these who disbelieve considered that the heavens and the earth were closed up, then We rent them? And We have made of water everything living


tafseer:
And We have placed in the earth firm mountains lest it should move away with them, and We placed therein Passages for paths, that haply they may be guided.


tafseer:
And He it is Who hath created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in an orb floating.


tafseer:
And when those who disbelieve behold thee they only take thee up for mockery: is this he who mentioneth your gods? while in the mention of the compassionate they are themselves blasphemers.


tafseer:
If only those who disbelieve have known of the time when they shall not be able to ward off from their faces the Fire nor from their backs, nor shall they be succoured!


tafseer:
And assuredly mocked were the apostles before thee, then there surrounded those of them Who scoffed that whereat they had been mocking!


tafseer:
Say thou: who guardeth you by night and by day from the Compassionate! O Yet from the remembrance of their Lord they avert themselves!


tafseer:
Have they gods who defend them beside Us? They are not able to succour themselves, and against Us they cannot be kept company with.


tafseer:
Aye! We let these people and their fathers enjoy until there grew long upon them the life. Behold they not that We come unto the land diminishing it by the borders thereof? Shall they then be the victors?


tafseer:
And if a breath of the torment of thy Lord were to touch them, they will say: woe unto us! we have been wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And assuredly We vcuchsafed unto Musa and Harun the distinction and illumination and an admonition for the God-fearing.


tafseer:
Recall what time he said unto his father and his people what are these images to which ye are cleaving?


tafseer:
He said: Aye! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth Who created them, and as to that I am of the witnesses.


tafseer:
Thereafter they were made to turn over upon their heads, saying, assuredly thou knowest that they speak not.


tafseer:
And Lut! We vouchsafed unto him judgment and knowledge, and We delivered him out of the city which had been working foul deeds


tafseer:
And Daud and Sulaiman! recall what time they gave judgment regarding the tillage when certain people´s sheep had pastured therein at night


tafseer:
And We taught him the art of making the coats of mail for you that it may protect you from your violence


tafseer:
And unto Sulaiman We subjected the wind, strongly raging, running at his command toward the land wherein We had placed Our blessing


tafseer:
And Ayyub! recall what time he cried unto his Lord: verily hurt hath touched me, and Thou art the Most Merciful of the mercifuls.


tafseer:
So We answered him and We removed that which was with him of the hurt, and We vouchsafed unto him his household and the like thereof along with them, as a mercy from us and a remembrance unto the worshippers.


tafseer:
And Zun-nun! recall what time he departed in anger and imagined that We could not straiten him, then he cried in the darknesses, that: there is no god but Thou! hallowed be Thou! verily I have been of the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And Zakariyya! recall what time he cried unto his Lord: my Lord! leave me not solitary, though Thou art the best of heirs.


tafseer:
So We answered him, and We bestowed on him Yahya and We made sound for him his spouse. Verily they Were wont to vie with one anot her in good deeds and to call upon us with longing and dread, and they were ever before us meek.


tafseer:
And she who guarded her chastity! Then We breathed into her of Our spirit, and made her and her son a sign unto the worlds.


tafseer:
Verily ye and whatsoever ye worship beside Allah shall be firewood for Hell: thereunto ye shall go down.


tafseer:
They shall not hear the least sound thereof, and in that felicity which their souls desire they shall be abiders.


tafseer:
The Great Terror shall grieve them not, and the angels will meet them: this is Your Day which ye were ever promised-


tafseer:
The Day whereon We shall roll up the heaven like as the rolling up of a scroll for books. Even as We began the first creation, We shall restore it: a promise binding upon Us


tafseer:
And assuredly We have prescribed in the Scripture after the admonition, that: the land! there shall inherit it My bondmen righteous.


tafseer:
Then if they turn away, say thou: I have proclaimed unto you all alike, and I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised,


tafseer:
He saith: my Lord! judge Thou with truth. And our Lord is the Compassionate Whose help is to be sought against that which ye utter.


tafseer:
The Day whereon ye behold it, every suckling woman shall forget that which she suckleth, and every burthened woman shall lay down her burthen


tafseer:
And of mankind is he who disputeth respecting Allah without knowledge, and followeth any Satan froward.


tafseer:
Against whom it is prescribed, that: whosoever befriendeth him, him he shall lead astray and shall guide him on to the torment of the Flame.


tafseer:
O Mankind! if ye be in doubt respecting the Resurrection, then We have created you of the dust, then of a drop, then of clot, then of a piece of flesh, formed and unformed, that We might manifest unto you Our power. And We settle in the wombs that which We will until a term determined. Then We bring you forth as babes, then We let you reach your maturity. And of you is he who dieth, and of you is he who is brought back to the most abject age, so that after knowing he knoweth not aught. Andthou beholdest the earth withered up, and when We send down thereon water, it stirreth and swelleth, and it groweth every luxuriant kind of growth.


tafseer:
That, because Allah! He is The Truth, and He quickeneth the dead, and verily He is over everything Potent.


tafseer:
And because the Hour is coming- there is no doubt thereof-- and because Allah will raise up those who are in the graves.


tafseer:
And of mankind is he who disputeth respecting Allah without knowledge or guidance or a Book luminous.


tafseer:
That is because of that which thy hands have sent forth, and verily Allah is not a wronger of His bondmen.


tafseer:
He calleth upon that, beside Allah, which can neither hurt him nor profit him! that! it is a straying far-off.


tafseer:
Verily Allah shall cause those who believe and work righteous works to enter Gardens whereunder rivers flow


tafseer:
Whosoever hath been imagining that Allah shall not make him victorious in the world and the Hereafter, let him stretch a cord up to the heaven and let him cut it, and let him look if his stratagem can do away that whereat he enrageth.


tafseer:
Verily those who believe and those who are Judaised and the Sabians and the Nazarenes and the Magians and those who associate - verily Allah will decide between them on the Day of Judgment


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not that Allah unto Him adore whosoever is in the heavens and on the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the mountains, and the trees and the beasts, and many of mankind! And many are there on whom due is the torment. And whomsoever Allah despiseth, none can honour


tafseer:
So oft as they would seek to go forth therefrom, because of anguish, they shall be sent back therein, and taste the torment of Burning.


tafseer:
Verily Allah will cause those who believe and work righteous works to enter Gardens whereunder the rivers flow, wherein they will be bedecked with brace lets of gold and with pearls, and their garment therein shall be of silk.


tafseer:
And they have been guided unto goodly speech, and they have been guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
Verily those who disbelieve and hinder others from the path of Allah and from the Sacred Mosque which We have appointed for mankind, equal in respect thereunto are the dweller therein and the stranger. And whosoever will seek profanity therein wrongfully, We shall make him taste of a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
And recall what time We settled Ibrahim in the place of the House, Saying: associate not thou with Me aught, and purify My House for these who circumambulate and those who stand up and those who bow and make prostration.


tafseer:
That they may witness the benefits to them and may mention the name of Allah on the days known over the beast cattle wherewith He hath provided them. So eat thereof, and feed the hungry poor.


tafseer:
Thereafter let them end their unkemptnesss and fulfil their vows and circumambulate the ancient House.


tafseer:
Thus it is. And whosoever suspecteth the sacred ordinances of Allah, it shall be better for him with his Lord. And allowed unto you are the cattle, save that which hath been rehearsed unto you


tafseer:
Reclining unto Allah, not associating aught with Him. And whosoever associateth aught with Allah, it is as though he had fallen from the heaven and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had blown him to a place remote.


tafseer:
Thus it is. And whosoever respecteth the rites of Allah, then verily it is from piety of the hearts.


tafseer:
For you in them are benefits for a term appointed, and thereafter the destination is toward the ancient House.


tafseer:
And unto every community We appointed a ritual, that they mention the name of Allah over the beast cattle wherewith He hath provided them: and your God is One God, so unto Him submit. And bear thou glad tidings unto the humble-


tafseer:
Those---whose hearts, when Allah is mentioned, are filled with awe and who patiently endure that which befalleth them, and these who establish the prayer and of that wherewith We have provided them expend.


tafseer:
Their flesh reacheth not Allah nor their blood: but it is Piety from you that reacheth Him. Thus He hath subjected them to you, that ye may magnify Allah for He hath guided you


tafseer:
Permitted are those who are fought against, because they have been oppressed, and verily to succour them Allah is potent


tafseer:
Those who have been driven forth from their abodes without justice, except because they say: our Lord is Allah. And were it not for Allah´s repelling of someby means of others, cloisters and churches, synogogues and mosques wherein the name of Allah is mentioned much, would have been pulled down. Surely Allah shall succour whosoever succoureth Him


tafseer:
Those who if We establish them in the earth, shall establish the prayer and give the poor-rate and command that which is reputable and restrain that which is disreputable and unto Allah is the end of all affairs.


tafseer:
And if they belie thee, then surely there have belied before them the people of Nuh and the ´Aad and the Thamud.


tafseer:
How many a city have We destroyed, while it was a wrong- doer--and it lieth overturned on its roofs, -and how many a well abandoned and how many a castle fortifred!


tafseer:
Have they not marched forth in the land, so that there might become unto them hearts to understand with or ears re hear with? Verily it is not the sights that are blinded but blinded are the hearts that are in the breasts.


tafseer:
And they ask thee to hasten on the torment, whereas Allah shall not fail His promise. And verily a day with thy Lord is as a thousand years of that which ye compute.


tafseer:
And how many a city did give reins to, While it wronged itself, then took hold of it! and unto Me is the return.


tafseer:
Then those who believe and work righteous works--for them is forgiveness and a provision honourable.


tafseer:
And those who endeavour in respect of Our signs to frustrate them- those shall be the fellows of Flaming Fire.


tafseer:
And We have sent before thee no apostle or prophet but when he read the Satan cast forth suggestions in respect of his reading


tafseer:
That he may make that which the Satan casteth forth a temptation for those in whose heart is a disease and whose hearts are hardened--and the wrong-doers are in divergence far-off -


tafseer:
And that those who have been vouchsafed knowledge may know that it is the truth from thy Lord and may believe therein, and so their hearts may submit thereto. And verily Allah is the Guide of those who believe unto a path straight.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt thereof until the Hour cometh upon them on a sudden, or there cometh upon them the torment of a Barren Day.


tafseer:
And those who emigrated in the way of Allah, and thereafter they were slain or they died - surely Allah will provide them with a goodly provision


tafseer:
Surely He will make them enter an entrance wherewith they will be well pleased and verily Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.


tafseer:
That is so. And whosoever Chastiseth the like of that whereby He was injured, and thereafter he hath been ogain oppressed, surely Allah will succour him: verily Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.


tafseer:
That is to be because Allah plungeth the night into the day and plungeth the day into the night, and because He is Hearing, Beholding.


tafseer:
That is because Allah! He is the Truth, and because that which they call upon beside Him--it is the false. And verily Allah! He is the High, the Great.


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not that Allah sendeth down water from the heaven and the earth becometh green? Verily Allah is subtile, Aware.


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not that Allah hath subjected to Himself for you whatsoever is on the earth and the ships running in the sea by His command? And He with holdeth the heaven that it fall not on the earth save by His leave. Verily Allah is, unto mankind, Clement, Merciful.


tafseer:
And He it is who gave you life and will thereafter cause you to die, and will thereafter give you life


tafseer:
Unto every community We have appointed a rite which they perform. Let them not therefore contend with thee in the affair


tafseer:
Knowest thou of that Allah knoweth whatsoever is in the heaven and the earth? Verily that is in a Book


tafseer:
And they worship, beside Allah, that for which He hath revealed no authority and that whereof they have no knowledge


tafseer:
And when Our manifest signs are rehearsed unto them, thou recognizest repugnance on the countenaces of those who disbelieve


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! bow down and prostrate yourselves and worship your Lord, and do the good, that haply ye may thrive.


tafseer:
And strive hard for Allah as is due unto Him hard striving. He hath distinguished you, and hath not placed upon you any narrowness in the religion the faith of your father, Ibrahim. He hath named you Muslim aforetime and in this, that the apostle may be a witness for you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. Wherefore establish the prayer and´give the poor-rate, and hold fast by Allah


tafseer:
And also a tree that springeth forth from mount Sinai, that groweth oil and is a sauce for the eaters.


tafseer:
And verily in the cattle for you is a lesson. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are advantages many, and of them ye eat.


tafseer:
Then said the chiefs of those who disbelieved among his people: this is no other than a human being like unto you, he seeketh to make himself superior unto


tafseer:
And when thou art settled, thou and those with thee, in the ark, say thou: praise unto Allah who hath delivered us from the wrong doing people.


tafseer:
And say thou , my Lord! cause me to land at a landing blest, and thou art the Best of these who bring to land.


tafseer:
Then We sent amongst them an apostle from amongst themselves, saying: worship Allah, for you there is no god but he


tafseer:
And said the chiefs of those who disbelieved among his people and belied the meeting of the Hereafter and whom We had luxuriated in the life of the World: this is no other than a human being like unto you: he eateth of that whereof ye eat, and he drinketh of that which ye drink.


tafseer:
Promiseth he unto you that ye, when ye have died and have become dust and bones, ye are to be brought forth?


tafseer:
Thereafter We sent Our apostles, successively. So oft as there came unto a community their apostle, they belied him, so We made them follow one anot her, and We made them bywords: so away with a people who believe not!


tafseer:
So they said: shall we believe In two human beings like unto us, while their nation are to us slaves?


tafseer:
Then they cut their affair among them in regard to the Scriptures: each band in that which is with them rejoicing.


tafseer:
And those who give whatsoever they give, while their hearts are anxious that unto their Lord they are to be retutners


tafseer:
And We task not any soul except according to its capacity, and with Us is a book speaking with truth, and they will not be wronged.


tafseer:
Aye! their hearts are in bewilderment in respect thereof, and they have works beside that, of which they are workers.


tafseer:
Until when We lay hold of the luxuriant ones of them with the torment, and lo! then they are imploring!


tafseer:
Pondered they not over the Word? or came there unto them that which came not unto their fathers ancient?


tafseer:
Or, say they: in him is madness? O Aye he brought them the truth, and most of them to the truth are averse.


tafseer:
And were the truth to follow their desires there would have been corrupted the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is therein. Aye! We have come to them with their admonition


tafseer:
Or, is it that thou askest of them any maintenance? The maintenance of thy Lord is better, and He is the Best of providers.


tafseer:
And though We have mercy on them We may remove whatsoever of hurt is with them, surely they would persist in their exorbitance, wandering perplexed.


tafseer:
And assuredly We took hold of them with the torment, yet they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor did they entreat.


tafseer:
Assuredly this we have been promised--we and our fathers-- aforetime: naught is this but the fables of the ancients.


tafseer:
Saythou: in whose hands is the governance of everything, and who sheltereth but from whom none is sheltered, if ye know?


tafseer:
Then when the Trumpet is blown there will be no lineage among them that Day, nor will they ask of each other.


tafseer:
And he whose balances shall be light--these are they who have lost themselves: in Hell they are abiders.


tafseer:
Verily there was a party of My bondmen who said: our Lord! we have believed, wherefore forgive us and have mercy upon us, and Thou art the Best of the merciful ones!


tafseer:
Then ye took them mockingly, so that they caused you to forget remembrance of Me, and at them ye were wont to laugh.


tafseer:
And whosoever calleth, along with Allah, unto anot her god, of whom he hath no warranty, then his reckoning is only with his Lord


tafseer:
The adulteress and the adulterer: scourge each one of the twain with a hundred stripes. And let not tenderness rake hold of you in regarad to the twain in the law of Allah, if ye have come to believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let witness this torment a band of the believers.


tafseer:
The adulterer weddeth not but an adulteress or an associatoress: and the adulteress! --none weddeth her save an adulterer or an associator


tafseer:
And those who accuse clean wowomen and then bring not four eyewitnesses, Scourge them with eighty stripes and accept not their- testimony for Ever. And these! they are the transgressors


tafseer:
And as for those who accuse their wives and there are not for them witnesses except themselves, the testimony of one of them shall be four testimonies by Allah: that verily he is of the truth-tellers


tafseer:
And it will revert the chastisement from her if she testifieth by Allah four times that verily he is of the liars.


tafseer:
And had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you and that Allah is Relenting, Wise, ye had been lost.


tafseer:
Wherefore, when ye heard it, did not the believing men and believing women imagine best of their own people and say: this is a calumny manifest!


tafseer:
Wherefore did they not bring four witnesses thereof? Then when they brought not the witnesses, those! with Allah they are the liars.


tafseer:
Had there not been Allah´s grace upon you and His mercy in the World and the Hereafter, surely there would have touched you for that whcrein ye had rushed, torment mighty--


tafseer:
When ye were publishing it with your tongues and saying that with your mouths of which ye had no knowledge. Ye deemed it light, and it was with Allah mighty!


tafseer:
And wherefore, when ye heard it, did ye not say: it is not for us to speak thereof, hallowed be Thou! that is a slander mighty!


tafseer:
Verily those who love that in decency should be propagated regarding those who believe, for them shall be a torment afflictive in the world and the Hereafter. And Allah knoweth, and ye know not.


tafseer:
And had there not been Allah´s grace upon you and His mercy, and that Allah was Tender and Merciful, ye had Perished.


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! follow not the footsteps of the Satan. And whosoever followeth the footsteps of the Satan, then he only urgeth to indecency and abomination. And had there not been the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would ever have been cleansed


tafseer:
And let not the owners of affluence and amplitude among you swear off from giving unto the kindred and the needy and the emigrants in the way of Allah


tafseer:
verily those who accuse chaste. unknowing, - believing women, shall be cursed in the world and the Hereafter


tafseer:
On the Day whereon their tongues and their hands and their feet will bear witness against them regarding that which they were wont to work.


tafseer:
On that Day Allah shall pay them in full their recompense, and they shall know that Allah! He is the True, the Manifest.


tafseer:
Vile women are for vile men, and vile men are for vile women, and clean women are for Clean men, and clean men are for clean women


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! enter not houses other than your own until ye have asked leave and invoked peace on the inmates thereof. That is better for you, haply ye may take heed.


tafseer:
Then if ye find no one therein, enter not until leave hath been given you. And if it iaid unto you go back, then go back. It is Cleaner for you, and Allah is of that which ye work knower.


tafseer:
Say thou unto the believers that they shall lower their sights and guard their private parts, that is cleaner for them


tafseer:
And say thou unto the believing women that they shall lower their sights and guard their private parts and shall not disclose their adornment except that which appeareth thereof


tafseer:
And those who find not means to marry shall restrain themselves until Allah enricheth them of His grace. And from among those whom your right hands own those who seek a writing- write it for them if ye know in them any good, and vouchsafe unto them of the wealth of Allah which He hath vouchsafed unto you. And constrain not your bedmaids to harlotry if they would live chastely, in order that ye may seek the chance gain of the life of the world. And whosoever will constrain them, then verily Allah is--after their constraint--Forgiving, Mercifu1.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have sent down unto you revelations illuminating and a similitude for those who passed away before you and an exhortation unto the God-fearing.


tafseer:
Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth: the likeness of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp


tafseer:
Men whom neither trafficking nor bargaining diverteth from the remembrance of Allah and the establishment of the prayer and the giving of the poor-rate, fearing a Day whereon upset will be the hearts and sights.


tafseer:
That Allah may recompense them the best for that which they worked and may increase unto them of His grace, and Allah provideth for whomsoever He will without measure.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve--their works are like a mirage in a desert which the thirsty deemeth to be water, until when he cometh thereto he findeth not aught, and findeth Allahs with himself, and He payeth him his account in full


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not that Allah --those hallow Him whosoever is in the heavens and the earth and the birds with wings outspread? Surely each one knoweth his prayer and his hallowing


tafseer:
Beholdest thou not that Allah driveth a cloud along, then combineth it, then maketh it a heap, and then thou beholdest the fine rain come forth from the interstices thereof? And He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is hail, then afflicteth therewith whomsoever He will, and averteth it from whomsoever He will: wellnigh the flash of His lightening taketh away the sights.


tafseer:
Assuredly We have sent down revelations illuminating: and Allah guideth whomsoever He listeth unto a path straight.


tafseer:
And when they are called to Allah and His apostle that he may judge between them, lo! a party of them are averters.


tafseer:
Is in their hearts a disease? or doubt they? or fear they that Allah shall misjudge them, as also His apostle? Aye! these are the very wrong-doers!


tafseer:
-The only saying of the believers when they were called to Allah and His apostle thathe might judge between them was that they said: We hear and we obey. And these! they are the very ones blissful.


tafseer:
And whosoever obeyeth Allah and His apostle, and dreadeth Allah and feareth him-these! they are the achievers.


tafseer:
And they swear by Allah with their solemn oaths that, if thou commandest them they will surely go forth. Say thou: swear not, obedience is recognize! verily Allah is Aware of that which ye Work.


tafseer:
Allah hath promised those of you who believe and work the righteous works that he shall make them successors on the earth even as He had made those before them successors, and that he shall surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and that he shall surely exchange unto them after their fear a security, provided they worship Me, associating not aught with Me


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! let those whom your right hands own and those of you who have not attained puberty ask leave of you three times before the dawn prayer, and when ye lay aside your garments noonday, and after the night-prayer: three at times of privacy for you. NO fault there is upon you or upon them beyond these times going round upon you, some of you upon some others. In this wise Allah expoundeth unto you the commandments


tafseer:
And when the children among you attain puberty, then let them ask leave even as those before them asked leave. In this wise Allah expoundeth unto you His commandments


tafseer:
And past child-bearing women who have no hope of wedlock-- upon them it is no fault that they lay aside their outer garments, not flaunting their adornment. And that they should restrain themselves is better for them


tafseer:
No restriction is there upon the blind, nor is there the restriction upon a lame, nor is there a restriction upon the sick. nor upon yourselves that ye eat in your houses or the houses of your fathers or the houses of your mothers or the houses of your brothers or the houses of your sisters or the houses of your fathers brothers or the houses of your fathers sisters or the houses of your mothers brothers or the houses of your mothers sisters or from that house where of ye own the keys or from the house of a friend. No fault is there upon you whether ye eat together or in separate groups, Then when ye enter houses, salute each other with a greeting from before Allah, blest and goodly. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you the revelations, haply ye may reflect.


tafseer:
The believers are those alone who have believed in Allah and His apostle, and when they are with him on some affair collecting People together they depart not Until they have asked his leave. Verily those who ask thy leave, those are they who believe in Allah and His apostle. So if they ask thy leave for some business of theirs, give thou leave unto whomsoever of them thou wilt, and ask thou forgiveness of Allah for them. Verily Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Place not the apostle´s calling among you on the same footing as your calling of each other. Of a surety Allah knoweth those who slip away privately


tafseer:
Blest be He who hath revealed the Criterion unto His bondman thathe may be unto the worlds a warner.


tafseer:
He whose is the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and who hath not taken a son, and for whom there is not an associate in the dominion, and who hath created everything, and measured it according to a measurement.


tafseer:
And they have taken beside Him gods creating not aught and are themselves created, owning for themselves neither hurt nor benefit, and owning not death nor life nor resurrection.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve, say. this is naught but a falsehood thathe hath fabricated and there have assisted him therein other people. so surelythey have aimed at a wrong and a fraud.


tafseer:
And they say: fables of the ancients which he hath had written down, so they are dictated unto him, morning and evening.


tafseer:
And they say: what aileth this apostle: he eateth food and walketh about the market-places: wherefore is not an angel sent down unto him, so thathe may be along with him a warner ´


tafseer:
Or, whereforeis not there cast down unto him a treasure or he has a garden whereof he may eat! And the wrong-doeray: ye follow only a man bewitched.


tafseer:
Blest is He Who, if He willed, shall appoint for them something better than that: gardens whereunder the rivers flow, and appoint for them palaces.


tafseer:
Say thou: in that better or Garden of Abidence that hath been promised to the God-fearing! It shall be theirs as a recompense and a retreat.


tafseer:
And We have not sent before thee ony of the sent ones but verily they ate food and walked about in the market places. And We have made some of you unto some others a temptation


tafseer:
And those who fear not the meeting with Usl say: wherefore are not angels sent down unto us or wherefore we see not our Lord! Assuredly they have proven stiff-necked in their souls and have exceeded the bounds with excess great.


tafseer:
The Day whereon they shall behold the angels on that day there will be nea joy for the culprits, and they will say: away! away!


tafseer:
And on the Day whereon the heaven shall be rent asunderg from the q clouds and the angelhall be sent downll with a great descending.


tafseer:
On the Day when the wrong-doer shall gnaw his hands saying: would that had taken with the apostle a way!


tafseer:
Assuredly he misled me from the admonition after it had come unto ine. Verily the Satan is ever unto man a betrayer.


tafseer:
And even scals We appointed unto every prophet an enemy from among the culprits. And thine Lord sufficeth as GUide and Helper.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: wherefore is the Qur´an not revealed unto him entire at once! Thus---We reveal- that We may establish thy heart there with


tafseer:
And they come not unto thee with a similitude but We bring thee the truth and an excellent interpretation.


tafseer:
They who shall be gathered prone on their faces unto Hell-- those shall be worst in respect of place and the most astray in respect of path.


tafseer:
And assuredly We vouchsafed unto Musa the Book and We placed with him his brother Harun as a minister.


tafseer:
Then We said: go ye twain unto a people who have belied Our signs. Then We annihilated them an utter annihilation.


tafseer:
And the people of Nuh! When they belied the apostles We drowned them, and made them a sign unto mankind. And We have gotten ready unto the wrong-doers a torment afflictive,


tafseer:
And assuredly they have gone by the township whereon was rained the evil rain. Are they not wont to see it? Aye! they expect not Resurrection.


tafseer:
And when they behold thee, they hold thee up for mockery: is this the one whom Allah hath sent as an apostle


tafseer:
Well nigh he had led us astray from our gods if we had not persevered towards them. Presently they shall know, When they behold the torment, who, more astray in respect of path.


tafseer:
Hast thou not observed thine lord-how He hath stretched out the shadow? And if He had willed He would have made it still. Then We have made the sun for it an indication.


tafseer:
And it is He who sendeth fort the winds as a herald before His mercy and We send down from the heaven water pure.


tafseer:
That We may quicken thereby a dead land, and We give drink thereof to that which We have created of cattle and human beings many.


tafseer:
And We set it forth among them, that they may be admonished, but most men begrudge aught save infidelity.


tafseer:
And it is He who hath created man from water, and then made for him kinship by blood and marriage. And thy Lord is ever potent.


tafseer:
Who created the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is in- between them in six days, then He established Himself on the Throne -the Compassionate! so, concernin Him, ask any one informed.


tafseer:
And when it is said unto them: prostrate yourselves unto the Compassionate, they say: and what is the Compassionate? Shall we prostrate ourselves unto that which thou commandest us? And it increaseth in them aversion.


tafseer:
Blest be He Who hath placed big stars in the heaven, and hath placed therein a lamp and a moon enlightening.


tafseer:
And it is He Who hath appointed the night and the day a succession, for him who desireth to consider or desireth to be grateful.


tafseer:
And the bondmen of the Compassionate are those Who Walk upon the earth meekly and when the ignorant address them, they say peace


tafseer:
And these who say: our Lord! avert from us the torment of Hell verily the torment thereof is perishment.


tafseer:
And those who call not unto anot her god along with Allah and slay not any soul which Allah hath forbidden, save in justification, and commit not fornication. And Whosoever shall do this, Shall incur the meed.


tafseer:
Multiplied for him shall be the torment on the Day of Resurrection, and he shall therein abide disgraced.


tafseer:
Save him who repenteth and believeth and worketh righteous work. Then these! for them Allah shall change their vices into virtues. Verily Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And whosoever repenteth and worketh righteously, then verily he repenteth toward Allah with a true repentance.


tafseer:
And those who, when they are admonished by the commands of Allah, fall not down thereat, deaf and blind.


tafseer:
And those who say: our Lord bestow on us coolness of eyes from our wives and our offspring, and make us unto the God-fearing a pattern.


tafseer:
Those shall be rewarded with the highest apartment, because they persevered. and therein they shall be met with a greeting and salutation-


tafseer:
Say thou: my Lord careth not for you were it not for your prayer. whereas ye have even belied, so presently this denial shall come as the cleaving punishment.


tafseer:
If We list, We can send down unto them a sign from the heaven so that their necks would became to it submissive.


tafseer:
And there cometh not unto them any fresh admonition from the Compassionate but they are wont to be there from backsliders.


tafseer:
Fir´awn said: brought we not thee up amongst us as a child? And thou tarriedst amongst us for many years of thy life?


tafseer:
Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord bestowed on me wisdom and made me one of the sent ones.


tafseer:
And that favour wherewith thou didst oblige me was that thou hadst enslaved the Children of Isra´il?


tafseer:
He said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is in-between, if ye seek to be convinced.


tafseer:
Then when the magicians came, they said unto Fir´awn: will there surely be a big hire for us if we are the winners?


tafseer:
Then they cast their cords and their staves, and said: by the might of Fir´awn, verily we! we shall be the winners.


tafseer:
Fir´awn said: ye believed in him ere I gave you leave. Verily he is your chief who hath taught you magic, so ye shall surely come to know. Surely I shall cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides and surely I shall crucify you all.


tafseer:
Verily we long that our Lord shall forgive us our faults because we have been the first of the believers


tafseer:
Then We revealed unto Musa, saying: smite thou the sea with thy staff. So it became separated, and each part was like unto a cliff mighty.


tafseer:
So decide Thou between me and them with a decision, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.


tafseer:
Save those who believed and worked righteous works and remembered Allah much, and vindicated themselves after they had been wronged. And anon those who do wrong shall come to know with what a translating they shall be translated.


tafseer:
Verily those who believe not in the Hereafter - fairseeming unto them We have made their works, so that they wander perplexed.


tafseer:
Those are they for whom shall be an evil torment. And in the Hereafter they shall be the greatest losers.


tafseer:
And cast thou down thy staff. Then when he saw it wriggling as though it were a serpent, he turned in flight and looked not back. O Musa! fear thou not


tafseer:
Excepting any who may have done wrong and thereafter changeth evil for good then verily I am Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And put thy hand into thy bosom, it Shall come forth white, with out hurt: amongst nine signs unto Fir´awn and his people. Verily they have been a people transgressing.


tafseer:
And they gainsaid them, out of spite and arrogance, although their souls were convinced thereof. So behold! what hath been the end of the corruptors.


tafseer:
And assuredly We vouchsafed unto Daud and Sulaiman a knowledge, and the twain said: praise unto Allah Who hath preferred us above many of His believing bondmen!


tafseer:
And Sulaiman inherited from Daud. And he said: O mankind! verily have been taught the diction of we birds, and we have been vcuchsafed of every thing


tafseer:
And there were gathered unto Sulaiman his hosts of jinns and mankind and birds, and they were set in bands.


tafseer:
Until when they came unto the valley of the ants, an ant said: O ants! enter Your habitations lest Sulaiman and his hosts crush you while they perceive not.


tafseer:
So he smiled, amused at her speech, and said: my Lord! arouse me that I should be thankful for Thy favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and that I should work righteously pleasing Thee, and out of Thy mercy enter me among Thine righteous bondmen.


tafseer:
Surely I shall torment him with a severe torment, or I shall slaughter him, unless he bringeth unto me a warranty manifest.


tafseer:
Buthe tarried not far, and he said: I have encompassed that which thou hast- not encompassed, and I come unto thee from Saba with a tidings sure.


tafseer:
Verily have found a woman ruling over them and she hath been vouchsafed somewhat of everything, and hers is a mighty throne.


tafseer:
I have found her and her people adoring the sun instead of Allah, and the Satan hath made their works fairseeming unto them, and hath barred them from the way, so they are not guided.


tafseer:
So that they adore not Allah who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knoweth that which conceal and that which ye make known.


tafseer:
Sulaiman said: we shall see now whether thou hast spoken the truth or whether thou art of the liars.


tafseer:
Go thou with this epistle of mine, and cast it down unto them, and turn aside from them, and see how they return.


tafseer:
Verily it is from Sulaiman, and verily it is: in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.


tafseer:
She said: O chiefs! counsel me in my affair. I am wont not to resolve on any affair until ye are present with me.


tafseer:
She said: verily the kings, when they enter a City, despoil it, and make the most powerful inhabitants thereof the most abased


tafseer:
Then when he came unto Sulaiman, he said: are ye going to add riches to me. Then that which Allah hath vouchsafed unto me is better than that which He hath vouchsafed unto you. Aye! it is ye who exult in your present.


tafseer:
Go back unto them. Then surely we shall come unto them with hosts which they cannot withstand, and we shall drive them forth therefrom abased and they shall be humbled.


tafseer:
He said: O chiefs! which of you will bring unto me her throne, ere they come unto me submitting themselves?


tafseer:
The one who had some knowledge of the Book said: I shall bring it unto thee ere thy eye twinkleth. Then when he saw it placed before him, he said: this is of the grace of my Lord that he may prove me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for his own soul


tafseer:
He said: disguise for her her throne, that we may see whether she be guided or be of those who are not guided.


tafseer:
It was said unto her: enter the palace. Then when she saw it, , he deemed it a pool and bared her shanks. He said: verily it is a palace evenly floored with glass. She said: my Lord! verily I wronged my soul, and now submit myself together with Sulaiman unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.


tafseer:
And assuredly We sent unto the Thamud their brother Saleh saying: worship Allah. Then lo! they became two parties contending.


tafseer:
He said: O my people! wherefore seek ye to hasten the evil before the good? Wherefore ask ye not forgiveness of Allah, that haply ye may be shewn mercy.


tafseer:
They said: we augur ill of thee and of those who are with thee. He said: your augury is with Allah. Aye! ye are a people being tested.


tafseer:
They said: swear one to anot her by God that we shall surely fall upon him and his household by night and thereafter we shall surely say unto his heir


tafseer:
So behold thou how was the end of their plotting: verily We annihilated them and their nation all together.


tafseer:
So yonder are their houses overturned, for they did wrong. Verily, herein is a sign unto a people who know.


tafseer:
Then there was no answer of his people save that they said: drive forth the family of Lut from your City, verily they are a people who would be pure!


tafseer:
Say thou: All praise unto Allah, and peace upon His bondmen whom He hath Chosen! Is Allah best, or that which they associate?


tafseer:
Is not he best Who hath created the heavens and the earth, and Who sendeth down water for you from the heaven wherewith We cause beauteous orchards to grow up, whereof it was not possible for you to cause the trees to grow up! Is there any god along with Allah! Nay! but they are a people who equalise.


tafseer:
Is not he best Who hath made the earth a fixed abode and placed rivers in the midst thereof and placed Firm mountains thereon, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? IS there any god along with Allah? Nay! but most of them know not.


tafseer:
Is not he best Who answereth the distressed when he calleth unto Him and removeth the evil, and hath made you the successors in the earth? Is there any god along with Allah? Little ye reflect!


tafseer:
Is not he best Who guideth you in the darknesses of the land and the sea, and Who sendeth the winds as heralds before His mercy Is there any god along with Allah? Exalted be Allah from all that they associate!


tafseer:
Is not he best Who originateth creation, and shall thereafter restoreth it, and Who provideth for you from the heaven and the earth? IS there any godl along with Allah? Say thou: bring your proof, if ye are truth-tellers.


tafseer:
Aye! their knowledge attaineth not to the Hereafter, Aye! they are in doubt thereof. Aye! thereunto they are blind.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: when we have become dust, we and our fathers, shall we, for sooth, be brought forth?


tafseer:
Assuredly we have been promised this aforetime, we and our fathers. Naught is this but fables of the ancients.


tafseer:
Verily this Qur´an recounteth with truth unto the Children of Isra´il much of that wherein they differ.


tafseer:
And verily thine Lord shall decide between them with His judgment, and He is the Mighty, the Knowing.


tafseer:
Verily thou canst not make the dead hear, nor canst thou make the deaf hear the call when they flee turning their backs.


tafseer:
Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none hear save these who believe in Our signs and who have submitted themselves.


tafseer:
And when the word shall come to be fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth speaking unto them, that the people have not of Our signs been convinced.


tafseer:
And remind them of the Day whereon We shall Rather from every community a troop of those who belied Our signs, and they shall be held in order.


tafseer:
Until when they shall have come, He Shall say: belied ye My signs when ye encompassed them not in Your knowledge


tafseer:
And the Word shall be fulfilled concerning them, because they did wrong, and they shall not be able to speak.


tafseer:
Observe they not that We have appointed the night that they may repose therein, and the day sight-giving? Verily herein are signs unto a people who believe.


tafseer:
And remind them of the Day whereon the trumpet shall be blown, and affrighted will be those who are in the heavens and the earth, save him whom Allah willeth. And all shall come unto Him, lowly.


tafseer:
And thou shalt see the mountains thou deemest solid passing away as the passing away of the clouds: the handiwork of Allah Who hath perfected everything. Verily He is Aware of all that ye do.


tafseer:
And whosoever will bring evil --their faces shall be cast down into the Fire. Are ye being requited aught save that which ye have been working?


tafseer:
I am commanded only to worship the Lord of this city which He hath sanctified, -and His is every thing - and I am commanded to be of the Muslims


tafseer:
And that I should recite the Qur´an. And whosoever receiveth guidance, receiveth guidance for his own soul, and as for him who strayeth say thou: I am only of the warners.


tafseer:
And say thou: All praise unto Allah! Anon He shall shew you His signs, so that ye will recognize them. And thy Lord is not negligent of that which ye Work.


tafseer:
Verily Fir´awn exalted himself in the earth and made the people thereof into sects, weakening a party among them, slaying their sons and letting their women live. Verify he was of the corrupters.


tafseer:
And We desired that We should be gracious unto those who were weakened in the land, and We should make them leaders and We should make them the inheritors.


tafseer:
And We should establish them in the earth, and We should let Fir´awn and Haman and their hostee from them that which they dreaded.


tafseer:
And We inspired the mother of Musa, saying: suckle him, then when thou fearest for him, cast him into the river and fear not, nor grieve. Verily We are going to restore him unto thee, and shall make him one of the sent ones.


tafseer:
And the household of Fir´awn took him Up, that he should become unto them an enemy and a grief. Verily Fir´awn and Haman and their hosts were sinners.


tafseer:
And the heart of the mother of Musa became void, and she had wellnigh disclosed him, had We not fortified her heart, that she might remain one of the believers.


tafseer:
So We restored him unto his mother that she might be comforted and not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. Yet most of them know not.


tafseer:
And he entered the City at a time of unawareness of the inhabitants thereof, and he found therein two men fighting, one being of his own party, and the other of his enemies. And he who was of his party, called him for help against him who was of his enemies. So Musa truck him with his fist, and put an end of him. He said: this is of the work of the satan, verily he is an enemy, a misleader manifest.


tafseer:
He said: my Lord! verily I have wronged my soul, so wherefore forgive me. So He forgave him. Verily He! He is the Forgiving, the Owner of Mercy.


tafseer:
And in the morning he was in the city fearing and looking about, when lo! he who had asked his succour yesterday was crying out unto him. Musa said: verily thou art a seducer manifest.


tafseer:
And when he sought to seize him who was an enemy unto them both, he said: O Musa wouldst thou slay me as thou didst slay a person yesterday? Thou seekest only to be a tyrant in the land, and thou seekest not to be of the reconcilers.


tafseer:
So he went forth from thence fearing, looking abcut. He said: my Lord! deliver me from the wrong-doing people.


tafseer:
And when he arrived at the water of Madyan, he found there a community of the people watering. And he found, apart from them, two women keeping back their flocks. He said: what aileth you twain! The twain said: we water not until the shepherds have driven away their flocks


tafseer:
Then he watered their flocks for the twain. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: my Lord! I verily of the good which Thou mayest send down for me I am needy.


tafseer:
Then there came unto him one of the twain walking bashfully, and said: verily my father calleth for thee, that he may recompense thee with a hire for that thou didst water the flock for us. Then, when he was come unto him and had recounted unto him the whole story, he said: fear not


tafseer:
And said one of the twain: O my father! hire him, for the best that thou canst hire is the strong and trustworthy one.


tafseer:
He said: verily I wish I would marry thee to one of these two daughters of mine provided that thou hirest thyself to me for eight years. then if thou completest ten it will de of thine own accord, and I would not make it hard for thee


tafseer:
Musa said: be that between me and thee: whichsoever of the two terms I shall fulfil, it shall be no harshness to me


tafseer:
Then when Musa had fulfilled the term, and was journeying with his household, he saw a fire on the side of Tur, and said unto his household: bide ye


tafseer:
Then when he was come thereto, he was called from the right side of the valley in the ground blest from the tree: Musa! verily I! I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds


tafseer:
And cast thou down thy staff. And when he saw it stirring, as though it were a serpent, he turned in flight and looked not back. O Musa! draw nigh, and fear not


tafseer:
He said: We shall indeed strengthen thine arm with thy brother, and We shall vouchsafe unto you authority, so that they shall not be able to come up to you. Go forth with Our signs! Ye twain and those who follow you, shall be the victors.


tafseer:
Then when Musa came unto them with Our manifest signs, they said: this is naught but magic fabricated


tafseer:
And Musa said: My Lord best knoweth him who bringeth guidance from before Him and him whose will be the happy end of the Abode. Verily the wrong-doers shall not thrive.


tafseer:
And Fir´awn said: O chiefs! know not of a god for you except me. Wherefore light thou for me, O Haman! clay, and make me a lofty tower that I may ascend unto the God of Musa


tafseer:
And he and his hosts were stiff-necked in the land without right, and imagined that before Us they would not be brought back.


tafseer:
Wherefore We laid hold of him and his hosts and cast them into the sea. So behold thou what like hath been the end of the wrong- doers!


tafseer:
And We made them leaders calling to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall not be succoured.


tafseer:
And We caused a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be of the castaway.


tafseer:
And assuredly We vouchsafed the the Scripture unto Musa after We had destroyed the generations of old: enlightenment unto mankind and a guidance and a mercy, that haply they might be admonished.


tafseer:
And thou wast not on the western side when We decreed the affair unto Musa, and thou wast not of the witnesses.


tafseer:
And lest, if an affliction had afflicted them for that which their hands had sent before, they should have said: our Lord! wherefore sent not Thou an apostle unto us that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers!


tafseer:
Yet when the truth is come unto them from before Us, they say: wherefore hast he not been vouchsafed the like of that which was given unto Musa? Disbelieved they not in that which was given unto Musa aforetime? They say


tafseer:
Say thou: then bring a Book from before Allah, that is better in guidance than these two shall follow it--if ye are truth- tellers.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have caused the Word to reach them in succession, that haply they may be admonished.


tafseer:
And when it is rehearsed unto them they say: we believe therein: verily it is truth from our Lord: verily we have been even before it of those who submit themselves.


tafseer:
These shall be vouchsafed their hire twice over, because they have persevered,and they repel evil with good, and expend of that wherewith We have provided them.


tafseer:
And when they hear vain discourse they withdraw therefrom and say: unto US our works, and unto you your works


tafseer:
Verily thou shalt not guide whomsoever thou lovest, but Allah shall guide whomsoever He will. And He knoweth best who are the guided.


tafseer:
And they say: were we to follow the guidance with thee, We Shall be snatched away from our land. Have We not established for them an inviolable sanctuary whereunto fruits of every sort are brought: a provision from Our presence? But most of them know not.


tafseer:
And how many a city have We destroyed that exulted in their living! And yonder are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them unless for a little while


tafseer:
Nor was thy Lord to destroy the Cities, until He had raised up in their mother-city an apostle reciting unto them our revealations. Nor were We to destroy the cities unless the inhabitants thereof were wrong-doers.


tafseer:
Is he, then, whom We have promised an excellent promise which he is going to meet, like unto him whom We have suffered to enjoy awhile the enjoyment of the life of the world, then on the Day of Resurrection he shall be of those brought up!


tafseer:
And on the Day whereon He shall call unto them and say: where are My associates whom ye were wont to assert?


tafseer:
Those upon whom the sentence will be pronounced will say: our Lord these are they whom we seduced, we seduced them even as we our selves were seduced. We declare ourselves quit of them before Thee


tafseer:
And it shall be said: Call upon your associate-gods. And they shall call upon them, and they shall not answer them, and they shall behold the torment. Would that they had received the guidance!


tafseer:
Bedimmed unto them shall be all excuses on that Day, wherefore they shall not be able to ask one of another.


tafseer:
Howbeit, whosoever shall repent and believe, and work righteous works - belike he shall be of the thrivers.


tafseer:
And He is Allah there is no god but he! His is all praise in the first and in the last, and His is the command, and unto Him ye shall be returned.


tafseer:
Say thou: bethink ye, if Allah made night continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, what god is there beside Allah, who would bring you light? Hearken ye not?


tafseer:
Say thou: bethink ye, if Allah made day continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, what god is there beside Allah, who would bring you night wherein ye have repose? Behold ye not?


tafseer:
It is of His mercy He hath appointed for you night and day, that therein ye may have repose, and that ye may seek of His grace, and that haply ye may give thanks.


tafseer:
And seek the abode of the Hereafter with that which God hath vouchsafed thee, and forget not thy portion in the World, and be thou bounteous even as God hath been bounteous unto thee, and seek not corruption in the earth


tafseer:
He said: I have been vouchsafed this only because of the knowledge that is with me. Knew he not that Allah had destroyed before him, of the generations, those who were stronger than he in might and larger in respect of following? And the culprits shall not be questioned of their sins.


tafseer:
Then he went forth unto his people in his pomp. Those who sought the life of the world said: would that we had the like of that which hath been vouchsafed unto Qarun! Verily he is the owner of a very great fortune.


tafseer:
And those who had been vouchsafed the knowledge said: woe unto you! the reward of Allah is best for him who believeth and worketh righteously and none shall attain it except the patient.


tafseer:
Then We sank the earth with him and his dwelling-place. And he had no host to defend him against Allah,nor was he of those who could defend themselves.


tafseer:
And those who had wished for his place but yesterday began to say: Ah! Allah expandeth the provision for whomsoever He will of His bondmen and stinteth, had not Allah been gracious unto us, He would have sunk the earth with us also. Ah! the infidels thrive not.


tafseer:
This is the abode of the Hereafter! We appoint it unto those who Seek not exaltation in the earth nor corruption


tafseer:
Whosoever bringeth good shall have better than it, and whosoever bringeth evil, then those who do ill works shall be rewarded only for that which they have been working.


tafseer:
Verily He who hath imposed the Qur´an on thee Is surely about to bring thee back home. Say thou: my Lord knoweth best who bringeth guidance and who is in an error manifest.


tafseer:
And let them not turn thee aside from the signs of Allah after they have been sent down unto thee. And call thou men unto thy Lord, and be thou not of the associaters.


tafseer:
And invoke thou not any other god along with Allah. There is no god but he. Everything is perishable save His countenance His is the judgment, and unto Him ye shall be returned.


tafseer:
And assuredly We have tempted those who were before them. So Allah will surely know those who are true and He will surely know the liars.


tafseer:
Whosoever hopeth for the meeting with Allah, then Allah´s term is surely coming, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
And whosoever believe and work righteous works, We shall purge away from them their ill-deeds and shall recompense them the best of that which they have been working.


tafseer:
And We have enjoined on man kindness unto parents. But if the twain strive to make thee associate with Me that of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not. Unto Me is your return, and I shall declare unto you that which ye have been working.


tafseer:
And those who believe and work righteous works--We shall surely cause them enter among the righteous.


tafseer:
And surely Allah shall come to know those who believe, and surely He shall come to know the hypocrites.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: follow our way, and we shall surely bear your sins


tafseer:
And surely they shall bear their loads and other loads beside their own loads, and surely they shall be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning that which they were wont to fabricate.


tafseer:
And assuredly We sent Nuh unto his people.Then he tarried among them for a thousand years, save tifty years


tafseer:
Ye only worship images instead of Allah, and ye create a falsehood. Verily those whom ye worship instead of Allah own no provision for you. Wherefore seek with Allah provision, and worship Him, and give thanks unto Him: unto Him ye shall be returned.


tafseer:
And if ye belie me, then communities before you have belied: and upon the apostle is naught but a preaching manifest.


tafseer:
Observe they not what wise Allah originateth creation? And then He shall restore it. Verily for Allah that is easy.


tafseer:
He shall torment whomsoever He Will, and shall show mercy unto whomsoever He Will, and unto Him ye shall be returned.


tafseer:
And ye cannot escape in the earth nor in the heaven, and beside Allah there is for you no friend nor helper.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and in their meeting with Him, they shall despair of My mercy, and they! theirs shall be a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
Then the answer of his people was naught but that they said: slay him, or burn him. Then Allah delivered him from the fire


tafseer:
And he said: ye have taken images instead of Allah out of affection between you in the life of the world


tafseer:
And We bestowed on him Is-haq and Y´aqub, and We placed among his posterity prophethood and the Book, and We vouchsafed unto him his hire in the World, and verily in the Hereafter he shall be of the righteous.


tafseer:
And Lut: Recall what time he said unto his people: verily ye commit an indecency wherein none hath preceded you in the Worlds.


tafseer:
Ye go in indeed unto males, and ye rob on the highway, and ye commit that which is disreputable in your assembly? Then the answer of his people was naught but that they said: bring thou God´s torment on us if thou art of the truth-tellers.


tafseer:
And when Our messengers came unto Ibrahim with the glad tidings, they said: verily we are about to destroy the inhabitants of that city: verily the inhabitants thereof have been wrong-doers.


tafseer:
He said: verily Lut is therein. They said: we know better who is therein: we are to deliver him and his household, save his wife


tafseer:
And when Our messengers came unto Lut, he was distressed on their account and felt straitened on their account. And they said: fear not, nor grieve: verily we are to deliver thee and thy household, save thy wife: she is to be of the lingerers.


tafseer:
Verily we are about to bring down upon the inhabitants of this city a scourge from the heaven, for they have been transgressing.


tafseer:
And unto Madyan We sent their brother, Shu´aib. He said: my people! worship Allah, and fear the Last Day, and commit not evil on the earth as corrupters.


tafseer:
And the ´Aad and Thamud and of a surety their destruction is apparent unto you from their dwellings. The Satan made fairseeming their works unto them, and so kept them off from the path, while they were endued with sight.


tafseer:
And Qarun and Fir´awn and Haman! And assuredly Musa came unto them with the evidences, yet they were stiff-necked in the land. And they could not outstrip Us.


tafseer:
The likeness of those who take other patrons than Allah is as the likeness of the spider who taketh unto herself a house. And verily the frailest of all houses is the spider´s house - if they but knew!


tafseer:
And dispute not with the people of the Book unless in the best manner, save with those of them who do wrong


tafseer:
And thou hast not been reciting any book before it, nor hast thou been writing it With thine right hand, for then might the followers of falsehood have doubted.


tafseer:
Aye! it in itself manifest signs in the breasts of those who have been vouchsafed knowledge, and none gainsay Our signs save the wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And they say: wherefore are not signs sent down upon him from his Lord! Say thou: signs are with Allah only, and I am but a manifest warner.


tafseer:
Sufficeth it not for them that We have sent down unto thee the Book to be recited unto them? Verily herein is a mercy and an admonition for a people who believe.


tafseer:
Say thou: Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you: He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. And they who believe in falsehood and disbelieve in Allah, those: they shall be the losers.


tafseer:
And they ask thee to hasten on the torment. And had not there been a term appointed, the torment would surely have come unto them. And surely it shall come upon them of a sudden while they perceive not.


tafseer:
On the Day whereon the torment shall cover them from above them and from underneath their feet, and He shall say: taste that which ye have been working!


tafseer:
And those who believe and work righteous works--them We shall surely settle in lofty dwellins of the


tafseer:
And how many a moving creature there is that beareth not its provision! Allah provideth for it and for you. And He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
And wert thou to ask them.: who hath created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon they would surely say: Allah. How then are they deviating?


tafseer:
Allah expandeth provision for whomsoever He Will of His bondmen and stinteth it for him. Verily Allah is of everything the Knower.


tafseer:
And wert thou to ask them: who sendeth down water from the heaven, and therewith quickeneth the earth after the death thereof? they would surely say: Allah. Say thou: all praise unto Allah! Aye! most of them reflect not.


tafseer:
And this life of the world is but: sport and play. Verily the home of the Hereafter--that is life indeed, if they but knew!


tafseer:
So When they mount upon the ships they call on Allah making pure for Him the religion, then when He delivereth them safely on the land, lo! they associate


tafseer:
So that they become ingrate for that which We have vouchsafed unto them, and that they enjoy themselves


tafseer:
Behold they not that We have appointed an inviolable sanctuary, while men are being snatched away round about them? in falsehood then believe they, and unto the favour of Allah will they be ingrate?


tafseer:
And who is a greater wrong-doer than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah or belieth the truth when it cometh unto him Will there not be in the Hell an abiding-place for the infidels?


tafseer:
In some few years. Allah´s is the command, before and after. And on that day the believers wiil rejoice.


tafseer:
They know only the outward appearance of the life of the world, and they! of the Hereafter, they are neglecetful.


tafseer:
Ponder they not in their minds: Allah hath not created the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is in-between the twain save with a purpose and for a term appointed? And verily many men in the meecing of their Lord are unbelievers.


tafseer:
Have they not journeyed in the land and observed what wise hath been the end of those before them? They were stronger than they in power and they brake up the earth and they inhabited it with greater affluence than these have inhabited it, and their apostles came unto them with evidences. And Allah was not one to wrong them, but themselves they were wont to wrong.


tafseer:
Then the end of those who committed evil was evil, for they belied the signs of Allah and they were wont to mock at them.


tafseer:
And not from their associate-gods, there will be intercessors for them, and unto their associate-gods they will be unbelievers.


tafseer:
And as for those who disbelieved and belied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter--these to the torment shall be brought.


tafseer:
And His is all praise in the heavens and the earth! --and at the sun´s decline and when ye enter the noon.


tafseer:
He bringeth forth the living from the lifeless, and He bringeth forth the lifeless from the living, and He quickeneth the earth after the death thereof


tafseer:
And of His signs is, thathe created for you from yourselves pouses that ye may find repose in them, and He set between you affection and mercy. verily herein are signs for a people who ponder.


tafseer:
And of His signs are the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variation of your languages and complexions


tafseer:
And of His signs are your sleeping by night and by day, and your seeking of His grace verily herein are signs for a people who hearken.


tafseer:
And of His signs is that he sheweth you the lightning for a fear´s and for a hope, and sendeth down from the heaven water, and therewith quickeneth the earth after the death thereof


tafseer:
And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand fast by His command, and thereafter, when He calleth you, a call from the earth, lo! ye shall come forth.


tafseer:
And He it is who originateth the creation, then shall restore it, and it is easier for Him. His is the most exalted similitude in the heavens and in the earth


tafseer:
He propoundeth unto you a similitude taken from yourselves. Have you, from among those whom your right hands own, partners in that wherewith We have provided you, so that ye are equal in respect thereof, and ye fear them as ye fear each other? In this wise We detail the signs for a people who reflect.


tafseer:
Aye! those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge. Who, then, will guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? And for them there will be no helpers.


tafseer:
Wherefore set thou thy face towards the true religion uprightly. And follow thou the constitution of Allah according to which He hath constituted mankind. No altering let there be in Allah´s creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not.


tafseer:
And remain turning penitently unto Him, and fear Him, and establish prayer, and be not of the associaters:


tafseer:
Of those who split up their religion and became sects, each band in that which is with them exulting.


tafseer:
Or have We sent unto them any authority, so that it speaketh of that which they have been with Him associating?


tafseer:
Behold they not that expandeth the provision for whomsoever He and stinteth? Verily herein are signs for a people who believe.


tafseer:
So give thou unto the kinsman his due and unto the needy and unto the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah´s countenance


tafseer:
And whatsoever ye give in gift in order that it may increase among the substance of men increaseth not with Allah


tafseer:
Allah is He Who created you and provided food for you, then He causeth you to die, and then He shall quicken you. Is there any of your associate-gods that doth aught of that? Hallowed and exalted be He above that which they associate!


tafseer:
Corruptness hath appeared on land and sea because of that which men´s hands have earned, so that he may make them taste a part of that which they have worked, in order that haply they may turn.


tafseer:
Say thou: go forth in the land and behold what wise hath been the end of those of aforetime? And most of them were associaters.


tafseer:
So set thy face toward the right religion before the Day cometh from which there is no averting, from Allah, on that Day they shall be sundered.


tafseer:
Whosoever disbelieveth, on him is his infidelity, and those who work righteously are preparing for themselves.


tafseer:
And of His signs is that he sendeth winds heralding rain and that he may make you taste of His mercy, and that the ships may sail at His command and that ye may seek His grace, and that haply ye may return thanks.


tafseer:
And assuredly We sent apostles before thee unto their people. They brought them manifest signs. Then We took vengeance upon those who transgressed. And incumbent upon us was avengement of the believers.


tafseer:
Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they raise a cloud and then spreadeth it along the heaven as He will and breaketh it into fragments, and thou beholdest the rain come forth from the intestines thereof. Then when He maketh it fall upon such of His bondmen as He will, lo! they rejoice.


tafseer:
Look then at the effects of Allah´s mercy: what wise He quickeneth the earth after the death thereof. Verily. He is the Quickener of the dead, and He is over every-thing potent.


tafseer:
And if We send a wind, and they should see their tilth yellow, then they would thereafter remain disbelieving.


tafseer:
So verily thou canst not make the dead hear, nor canst thou make the deaf hear the call when they turn away in flight.


tafseer:
Allah it is Who created you in weakness, then He appointed strength after weakness, then after strength appointed weakness and grey hair. He createth whatsoever He listeth: and He is Knower, the Potent.


tafseer:
And on the Day whereon the Hour arriveth, the Culprits Will swear that they tarried not but an hour: Thus Were they ever deluded.


tafseer:
And those who have been vouchsafed knowledge and belief will say: assuredly ye have tarried according to the decree of Allah until the Day of Upraising


tafseer:
On that Day the excusing of themselves will not profit those who did wrong, nor shall they be suffered to please Allah.


tafseer:
And of mankind is one who purchaseth an idle discourse, that he may mislead from Allah´s way without knowledge, and taketh it by way of mockery. These! for them shall be a torment ignominious.


tafseer:
And when Our revelations are recited unto him he turneth away in his stiff-neckedness as though he heard them not: as though there was a deafness in his ears. So announce thou unto him a torment afflictive.


tafseer:
He hath created the heavens that ye behold without pillars and hath cast Into the earth firm mountains lest it move away with you


tafseer:
And recall what time Luqman said unto his son, while he was exhorting him: O my son! associate not aught with Allah


tafseer:
And We have enjoined upon man concerning his parents--his mother beareth him in hardship upon hardship and his weaning is in two years: give thanks unto Me and unto thy parents


tafseer:
And if the twain strive with thee to make thee associate with Me that for which thou hast no knowledge, then obey them not. And bear them thou company in the world reputably, and follow thou the path of him who turneth penitently unto Me. Then unto Me is your return, and I shall declare unto you that which ye have been working.


tafseer:
O my son! though it be but the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and though it be in a rock or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah shall bring it forth. Verily Allah is subtile, Aware.


tafseer:
O My son! establish prayer and command that which is reputable and forbid iniquity, and bear patiently whatsoever may befall thee


tafseer:
And turn not away thy cheek from men nor walk on the earth stultingly, verily Allah loveth not any vainglorious boaster.


tafseer:
Observe ye not that Allah hath subjected for you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and hath completed His favours on you outwardly and inwardly? And yet of mankind is one who disputeth concerning Allah without knowledge and with neither guidance nor a Book luminous.


tafseer:
And when it is said unto them: follow that which Allah hath sent down, they say: nay! we shall follow that which we found our fathers upon. What! even though the Satan had been calling on them unto the torment of the Blaze.


tafseer:
And whosoever submitteth his countenance unto Allah and he is a well doer, he hath of a surety lain hold of the firm cable. Unto Allah is the end of all affairs.


tafseer:
And whosoever disbelieveth, let not his unbelief grieve thee. Unto Us is their return, and We shall declare unto them that which they have worked. Verily Allah is the Knower of that which is in the breasts.


tafseer:
And wert thou to ask them: who hath created the heavens and the earth they will surely say: Allah. Say thou: All praise unto Allah! But most of them know not,


tafseer:
Allah´s is whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth.Verily Allah! He is the Self-sufficient, the Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
And if whatever trees there are on the earth were pens, and the sea were ink with seven more seas to help it, the words of Allah could not be exhausted


tafseer:
Observest thou not that Allah plungeth the night into the day and plungeth the day into the night and hath subjected the sun and the moon, each running unto an appointed term, and that Allah is of that which ye work Aware.


tafseer:
