tafseer:
Or as darkness on a vast, abysmal sea. There covereth him a wave, above which is a wave, above which is a cloud. Layer upon layer of darkness. When he holdeth out his hand he scarce can see it. And he for whom Allah hath not appointed light, for him there is no light.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen that Allah, He it is Whom all who are in the heavens and the earth praise, and the birds in their flight? Of each He knoweth verily the worship and the praise


tafseer:
And unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and unto Allah is the journeying.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds, then gathereth them, then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from between them


tafseer:
Allah causeth the revolution of the day and the night. Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for those who see.


tafseer:
Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
Verily We have sent down revelations and explained them. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.


tafseer:
And when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge between them, lo! a faction of them are averse


tafseer:
Is there in their hearts a disease, or have they doubts, or fear they lest Allah and His messenger should wrong them in judgment? Nay, but such are evil-doers.


tafseer:
The saying of (all true) believers when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge between them is only that they say: We hear and we obey. And such are the successful.


tafseer:
He who obeyeth Allah and His messenger, and feareth Allah, and keepeth duty (unto Him): such indeed are the victorious.


tafseer:
Say: Obey Allah and obey the messenger. But if ye turn away, then (it is) for him (to do) only that wherewith he hath been charged, and for you (to do) only that wherewith ye have been charged. If ye obey him, ye will go aright. But the messenger hath no other charge than to convey (the message) plainly.


tafseer:
Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good work that He will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before them to succeed (others)


tafseer:
Think not that the disbelievers can escape in the land. Fire will be their home - a hapless journey´s end!


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come into your presence): Before the prayer of dawn, and when ye lay aside your raiment for the heat of noon, and after the prayer of night. Three times of privacy for you. It is no sin for them or for you at other times, when some of you go round attendant upon others (if they come into your presence without leave). Thus Allah maketh clear the revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise.


tafseer:
And when the children among you come to puberty then let them ask leave even as those before them used to ask it. Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise.


tafseer:
As for women past child-bearing, who have no hope of marriage, it is no sin for them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show adornment. But to refrain is better for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.


tafseer:
No blame is there upon the blind nor any blame upon the lame nor any blame upon the sick nor on yourselves if ye eat from 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) whereof ye hold the keys, or (from the house) of a friend. No sin shall it be for you whether ye eat together or apart. But when ye enter houses, salute one another with a greeting from Allah, blessed and sweet. Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations for you, that haply ye may understand.


tafseer:
They only are the true believers who believe in Allah and His messenger and, when they are with him on some common errand, go not away until they have asked leave of him. Lo! those who ask leave of thee, those are they who believe in Allah and His messenger. So, if they ask thy leave for some affair of theirs, give leave to whom thou wilt of them, and ask for them forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Make not the calling of the messenger among you as your calling one of another. Allah knoweth those of you who steal away, hiding themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest grief or painful punishment befall them.


tafseer:
Lo! verily unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. He knoweth your condition. And (He knoweth) the Day when they are returned unto Him so that He may inform them of what they did. Allah is Knower of all things.


tafseer:
Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.


tafseer:
He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, He hath chosen no son nor hath He any partner in the Sovereignty. He hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure.


tafseer:
Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve say: This is naught but a lie that he hath invented, and other folk have helped him with it, so that they have produced a slander and a lie.


tafseer:
And they say: Fables of the men of old which he hath had written down so that they are dictated to him morn and evening.


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He who knoweth the secret of the heavens and the earth hath revealed it. Lo! He ever is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And they say: What aileth this messenger (of Allah) that he eateth food and walketh in the markets? Why is not an angel sent down unto him, to be a warner with him.


tafseer:
Or (why is not) treasure thrown down unto him, or why hath he not a paradise from whence to eat? And the evil-doers say: Ye are but following a man bewitched.


tafseer:
Blessed is He Who, if He will, will assign thee better than (all) that - Gardens underneath which rivers flow - and will assign thee mansions.


tafseer:
Nay, but they deny (the coming of) the Hour, and for those who deny (the coming of) the Hour We have prepared a flame.


tafseer:
And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they pray for destruction there.


tafseer:
Say: Is that (doom) better or the Garden of Immortality which is promised unto those who ward off (evil)? It will be their reward and journey´s end.


tafseer:
Therein abiding, they have all that they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.


tafseer:
And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they worship instead of Allah and will say: Was it ye who misled these my slaves or did they (themselves) wander from the way?


tafseer:
Thus they will give you the lie regarding what ye say, then ye can neither avert (the doom) nor obtain help. And whoso among you doeth wrong, We shall make him taste great torment.


tafseer:
We never sent before thee any messengers but lo! they verily ate food and walked in the markets. And We have appointed some of you a test for others: Will ye be steadfast? And thy Lord is ever Seer.


tafseer:
And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: Why are angels not sent down unto us and (Why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride.


tafseer:
Those who have earned the Garden on that day will be better in their home and happier in their place of noonday rest


tafseer:
A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels will be sent down, a grand descent.


tafseer:
The Sovereignty on that day will be the True (Sovereignty) belonging to the Beneficent One, and it will be a hard day for disbelievers.


tafseer:
On the day when the wrong-doer gnaweth his hands, he will say: Ah, would that I had chosen a way together with the messenger (of Allah)!


tafseer:
He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan was ever man´s deserter in the hour of need.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: Why is the Qur´an not revealed unto him all at once? (It is revealed) thus that We may strengthen thy heart therewith


tafseer:
And they bring thee no similitude but We bring thee the Truth (as against it), and better (than their similitude) as argument.


tafseer:
Those who will be gathered on their faces unto hell: such are worse in plight and further from the right road.


tafseer:
Then We said: Go together unto the folk who have denied Our revelations. Then We destroyed them, a complete destruction.


tafseer:
And Noah´s folk, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made of them a portent for mankind. We have prepared a painful doom for evil-doers.


tafseer:
And indeed they have passed by the township whereon was rained the fatal rain. Can it be that they have not seen it? Nay, but they hope for no resurrection.


tafseer:
And when they see thee (O Muhammad) they treat thee only as a jest (saying): Is this he whom Allah sendeth as a messenger?


tafseer:
He would have led us far away from our gods if we had not been staunch to them. They will know, when they behold the doom, who is more astray as to the road.


tafseer:
Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray?


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot


tafseer:
And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky,


tafseer:
That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.


tafseer:
And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude.


tafseer:
And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage


tafseer:
Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The disbeliever was ever a partisan against his Lord.


tafseer:
And trust thou in the Living One Who dieth not, and hymn His praise. He sufficeth as the Knower of His bondmen´s sins,


tafseer:
Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six Days, then He mounted the Throne. The Beneficent! Ask anyone informed concerning Him!


tafseer:
And when it is said unto them: Prostrate to the Beneficent! they say: And what is the Beneficent? Are we to prostrate to whatever thou (Muhammad) biddest us? And it increaseth aversion in them.


tafseer:
Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!


tafseer:
And He it is Who hath appointed night and day in succession, for him who desireth to remember, or desireth thankfulness.


tafseer:
The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth modestly, and when the foolish ones address them answer: Peace


tafseer:
And those who cry not unto any other god along with Allah, nor take the life which Allah hath forbidden save in (course of) justice, nor commit adultery - and whoso doeth this shall pay the penalty


tafseer:
The doom will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein disdained for ever


tafseer:
And those who will not witness vanity, but when they pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity.


tafseer:
And those who, when they are reminded of the revelations of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat.


tafseer:
And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off (evil).


tafseer:
They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace,


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): My Lord would not concern Himself with you but for your prayer. But now ye have denied (the Truth), therefor there will be judgment.


tafseer:
If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it.


tafseer:
And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).


tafseer:
(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us,


tafseer:
Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).


tafseer:
And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.


tafseer:
(Moses) said: Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye had but sure belief.


tafseer:
(Pharaoh) said: If thou choosest a god other than me, I assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners.


tafseer:
And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?


tafseer:
Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh´s might, lo! we verily are the winners.


tafseer:
(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.


tafseer:
Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.


tafseer:
Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast.


tafseer:
Therefor judge Thou between us, a (conclusive) judgment, and save me and those believers who are with me.


tafseer:
He said: (Behold) this she-camel. She hath the right to drink (at the well), and ye have the right to drink, (each) on an appointed day.


tafseer:
So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.


tafseer:
But they denied him, so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom. Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day.


tafseer:
Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!


tafseer:
Lo! as for those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their works fairseeming unto them so that they are all astray.


tafseer:
Those are they for whom is the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.


tafseer:
But when he reached it, he was called, saying: Blessed is Whosoever is in the fire and Whosoever is round about it! And Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!


tafseer:
And throw down thy staff! But when he saw it writhing as it were a demon, he turned to flee headlong


tafseer:
Save him who hath done wrong and afterward hath changed evil for good. And lo! I am Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And put thy hand into the bosom of thy robe, it will come forth white but unhurt. (This will be one) among nine tokens unto Pharaoh and his people Lo! they were ever evil-living folk.


tafseer:
And they denied them, though their souls acknowledged them, for spite and arrogance. Then see the nature of the consequence for the wrong-doers!


tafseer:
And We verily gave knowledge unto David and Solomon, and they said: Praise be to Allah, Who hath preferred us above many of His believing slaves!


tafseer:
And Solomon was David´s heir. And he said: O mankind! Lo! we have been taught the language of birds, and have been given (abundance) of all things. This surely is evident favour.


tafseer:
And there were gathered together unto Solomon his armies of the jinn and humankind, and of the birds, and they were set in battle order


tafseer:
Till, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant exclaimed: O ants! Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving.


tafseer:
And (Solomon) smiled, laughing at her speech, and said: My Lord, arouse me to be thankful for Thy favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and to do good that shall be pleasing unto Thee, and include me in (the number of) Thy righteous slaves.


tafseer:
And he sought among the birds and said: How is it that I see not the hoopoe, or is he among the absent?


tafseer:
I verily will punish him with hard punishment or I verily will slay him, or he verily shall bring me a plain excuse.


tafseer:
But he was not long in coming, and he said: I have found out (a thing) that thou apprehendest not, and I come unto thee from Sheba with sure tidings.


tafseer:
Lo! I found a woman ruling over them, and she hath been given (abundance) of all things, and hers is a mighty throne.


tafseer:
So that they worship not Allah, Who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knoweth what ye hide and what ye proclaim,


tafseer:
(The Queen of Sheba) said (when she received the letter): O chieftains! Lo! there hath been thrown unto me a noble letter.


tafseer:
She said: Lo! kings, when they enter a township, ruin it and make the honour of its people shame. Thus will they do.


tafseer:
But lo! I am going to send a present unto them, and to see with what (answer) the messengers return.


tafseer:
So when (the envoy) came unto Solomon, (the King) said: What! Would ye help me with wealth? But that which Allah hath given me is better than that which He hath given you. Nay it is ye (and not I) who exult in your gift.


tafseer:
Return unto them. We verily shall come unto them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from thence with shame, and they will be abased.


tafseer:
A stalwart of the jinn said: I will bring it thee before thou canst rise from thy place. Lo! I verily am strong and trusty for such work.


tafseer:
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will bring it thee before thy gaze returneth unto thee. And when he saw it set in his presence, (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul


tafseer:
He said: Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will go aright or be of those not rightly guided.


tafseer:
So, when she came, it was said (unto her): Is thy throne like this? She said: (It is) as though it were the very one. And (Solomon said): We were given the knowledge before her and we had surrendered (to Allah).


tafseer:
And (all) that she was wont to worship instead of Allah hindered her, for she came of disbelieving folk.


tafseer:
It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.


tafseer:
And We verily sent unto Thamud their brother Salih, saying: Worship Allah. And lo! they (then became two parties quarrelling.


tafseer:
He said: O my people! Why will ye hasten on the evil rather than the good? Why will ye not ask pardon of Allah, that ye may receive mercy.


tafseer:
They said: We augur evil of thee and those with thee. He said: Your evil augury is with Allah. Nay, but ye are folk that are being tested.


tafseer:
They said: Swear one to another by Allah that we verily will attack him and his household by night, and afterward we will surely say unto his friend: We witnessed not the destruction of his household. And lo! we are truthtellers.


tafseer:
Then see the nature of the consequence of their plotting, for lo! We destroyed them and their people, every one.


tafseer:
See, yonder are their dwellings empty and in ruins because they did wrong. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a people who have knowledge.


tafseer:
But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: Expel the household of Lot from your township, for they (forsooth) are folk who would keep clean!


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): Praise be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He hath chosen! Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)?


tafseer:
Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!


tafseer:
Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode, and placed rivers in the folds thereof, and placed firm hills therein, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but most of them know not!


tafseer:
Is not He (best) Who answereth the wronged one when he crieth unto Him and removeth the evil, and hath made you viceroys of the earth? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Little do they reflect!


tafseer:
Is not He (best) Who guideth you in the darkness of the land and the sea, He Who sendeth the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there any Allah beside Allah? High Exalted be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!


tafseer:
Is not He (best) Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and Who provideth for you from the heaven and the earth? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Say: Bring your proof, if ye are truthful!


tafseer:
Nay, but doth their knowledge reach to the Hereafter? Nay, for they are in doubt concerning it. Nay, for they cannot see it.


tafseer:
Yet those who disbelieve say: When we have become dust like our fathers, shall we verily be brought forth (again)?


tafseer:
We were promised this, forsooth, we and our fathers. (All) this is naught but fables of the men of old.


tafseer:
Lo! thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee


tafseer:
Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear, save those who believe Our revelations and who have surrendered.


tafseer:
And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith in Our revelations.


tafseer:
And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a host of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be set in array


tafseer:
Till, when they come (before their Lord), He will say: Did ye deny My revelations when ye could not compass them in knowledge, or what was it that ye did?


tafseer:
And the Word will be fulfilled concerning them because they have done wrong, and they will not speak.


tafseer:
Have they not seen how We have appointed the night that they may rest therein, and the day sight-giving? Lo! therein verily are portents for a people who believe.


tafseer:
And (remind them of) the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and the earth will start in fear, save him whom Allah willeth. And all come unto Him, humbled.


tafseer:
And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid flying with the flight of clouds: the doing of Allah Who perfecteth all things. Lo! He is Informed of what ye do.


tafseer:
And whoso bringeth an ill-deed, such will be flung down on their faces in the Fire. Are ye rewarded aught save what ye did?


tafseer:
(Say): I (Muhammad) am commanded only to serve the Lord of this land which He hath hallowed, and unto Whom all things belong. And I am commanded to be of those who surrender (unto Him),


tafseer:
And say: Praise be to Allah Who will show you His portents so that ye shall know them. And thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals) do.


tafseer:
Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption.


tafseer:
And We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors,


tafseer:
And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them.


tafseer:
And We inspired the mother of Moses, saying: Suckle him and, when thou fearest for him, then cast him into the river and fear not nor grieve. Lo! We shall bring him back unto thee and shall make him (one) of Our messengers.


tafseer:
And the family of Pharaoh took him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a sorrow, Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were ever sinning.


tafseer:
And the wife of Pharaoh said: (He will be) a consolation for me and for thee. Kill him not. Peradventure he may be of use to us, or we may choose him for a son. And they perceived not.


tafseer:
And the heart of the mother of Moses became void, and she would have betrayed him if We had not fortified her heart, that she might be of the believers.


tafseer:
And We had before forbidden foster-mothers for him, so she said: Shall I show you a household who will rear him for you and take care of him?


tafseer:
So We restored him to his mother that she might be comforted and not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not.


tafseer:
And when he reached his full strength and was ripe, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the good.


tafseer:
And he entered the city at a time of carelessness of its folk, and he found therein two men fighting, one of his own caste, and the other of his enemies


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged my soul, so forgive me. Then He forgave him. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! Forasmuch as Thou hast favoured me, I will nevermore be a supporter of the guilty.


tafseer:
And morning found him in the city, fearing, vigilant, when behold! he who had appealed to him the day before cried out to him for help. Moses said unto him: Lo! thou art indeed a mere hothead.


tafseer:
And when he would have fallen upon the man who was an enemy unto them both, he said: O Moses! Wouldst thou kill me as thou didst kill a person yesterday. Thou wouldst be nothing but a tyrant in the land, thou wouldst not be of the reformers.


tafseer:
And a man came from the uttermost part of the city, running. He said: O Moses! Lo! the chiefs take counsel against thee to slay thee


tafseer:
So he escaped from thence, fearing, vigilant. He said: My Lord! Deliver me from the wrongdoing folk.


tafseer:
And when he turned his face toward Midian, he said: Peradventure my Lord will guide me in the right road.


tafseer:
And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering. And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you? The two said: We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water


tafseer:
So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest down for me.


tafseer:
Then there came unto him one of the two women, walking shyly. She said: Lo! my father biddeth thee, that he may reward thee with a payment for that thou didst water (the flock) for us. Then, when he came unto him and told him the (whole) story, he said: Fear not! Thou hast escaped from the wrongdoing folk.


tafseer:
One of the two women said: O my father! Hire him! For the best (man) that thou canst hire in the strong, the trustworthy.


tafseer:
He said: Lo! I fain would marry thee to one of these two daughters of mine on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for (the term of) eight pilgrimages. Then if thou completest ten it will be of thine own accord, for I would not make it hard for thee. Allah willing, thou wilt find me of the righteous.


tafseer:
He said: That (is settled) between thee and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfil, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say.


tafseer:
Then, when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his housefolk, he saw in the distance a fire and said unto his housefolk: Bide ye (here). Lo! I see in the distance a fire


tafseer:
And when he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley in the blessed field, from the tree: O Moses! Lo! I, even I, am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds


tafseer:
Throw down thy staff. And when he saw it writhing as it had been a demon, he turned to flee headlong, (and it was said unto him): O Moses! Draw nigh and fear not. Lo! thou art of those who are secure.


tafseer:
Thrust thy hand into the bosom of thy robe it will come forth white without hurt. And guard thy heart from fear. Then these shall be two proofs from your Lord unto Pharaoh and his chiefs. Lo! they are evil-living folk.


tafseer:
My brother Aaron is more eloquent than me in speech. Therefor send him with me as a helper to confirm me. Lo! I fear that they will give the lie to me.


tafseer:
He said: We will strengthen thine arm with thy brother, and We will give unto you both power so that they cannot reach you for Our portents. Ye twain, and those who follow you, will be the winners.


tafseer:
But when Moses came unto them with Our clear tokens, they said: This is naught but invented magic. We never heard of this among our fathers of old.


tafseer:
And Moses said: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth guidance from His presence, and whose will be the sequel of the Home (of bliss). Lo! wrong-doers will not be successful.


tafseer:
And Pharaoh said: O chiefs! I know not that ye have a god other than me, so kindle for me (a fire), O Haman, to bake the mud


tafseer:
And he and his hosts were haughty in the land without right, and deemed that they would never be brought back to Us.


tafseer:
Therefor We seized him and his hosts, and abandoned them unto the sea. Behold the nature of the consequence for evil-doers!


tafseer:
And We made them patterns that invite unto the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.


tafseer:
And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be among the hateful.


tafseer:
And We verily gave the Scripture unto Moses after We had destroyed the generations of old: clear testimonies for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that haply they might reflect.


tafseer:
And thou (Muhammad) wast not on the western side (of the Mount) when We expounded unto Moses the commandment, and thou wast not among those present


tafseer:
But We brought forth generations, and their lives dragged on for them. And thou wast not a dweller in Midian, reciting unto them Our revelations, but We kept sending (messengers to men).


tafseer:
Otherwise, if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them), they might say: Our Lord! Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us, that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers?


tafseer:
But when there came unto them the Truth from Our presence, they said: Why is he not given the like of what was given unto Moses? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses of old? They say: Two magics that support each other


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Then bring a scripture from the presence of Allah that giveth clearer guidance than these two (that) I may follow it, if ye are truthful.


tafseer:
And if they answer thee not, then know that what they follow is their lusts. And who goeth farther astray than he who followeth his lust without guidance from Allah. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.


tafseer:
And when it is recited unto them, they say: We believe in it. Lo! it is the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it we were of those who surrender (unto Him).


tafseer:
These will be given their reward twice over, because they are steadfast and repel evil with good, and spend of that wherewith We have provided them,


tafseer:
And when they hear vanity they withdraw from it and say: Unto us our works and unto you your works. Peace be unto you! We desire not the ignorant.


tafseer:
Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.


tafseer:
And they say: If we were to follow the Guidance with thee we should be torn out of our land. Have We not established for them a sure sanctuary, whereunto the produce of all things is brought (in trade), a provision from Our presence? But most of them know not.


tafseer:
And how many a community have We destroyed that was thankless for its means of livelihood! And yonder are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them save a little. And We, even We, were the inheritors.


tafseer:
And never did thy Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in their mother(-town) a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations. And never did We destroy the townships unless the folk thereof were evil-doers.


tafseer:
Is he whom We have promised a fair promise which he will find (true) like him whom We suffer to enjoy awhile the comfort of the life of the world, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be of those arraigned?


tafseer:
Those concerning whom the Word will have come true will say: Our Lord! These are they whom we led astray. We led them astray even as we ourselves were astray. We declare our innocence before Thee: us they never worshipped.


tafseer:
And it will be said: Cry unto your (so-called) partners (of Allah). And they will cry unto them, and they will give no answer unto them, and they will see the Doom. Ah, if they had but been guided!


tafseer:
Thy Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth and chooseth. They have never any choice. Glorified be Allah and Exalted above all that they associate (with Him)!


tafseer:
Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made night everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a god beside Allah who could bring you light? Will ye not then hear?


tafseer:
Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made day everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a god beside Allah who could bring you night wherein ye rest? Will ye not then see?


tafseer:
Of His mercy hath He appointed for you night and day, that therein ye may rest, and that ye may seek His bounty, and that haply ye may be thankful.


tafseer:
And We shall take out from every nation a witness and We shall say: Bring your proof. Then they will know that Allah hath the Truth, and all that they invented will have failed them.


tafseer:
But seek the abode of the Hereafter in that which Allah hath given thee and neglect not thy portion of the world, and be thou kind even as Allah hath been kind to thee, and seek not corruption in the earth


tafseer:
He said: I have been given it only on account of knowledge I possess. Knew he not that Allah had destroyed already of the generations before him men who were mightier than him in strength and greater in respect of following? The guilty are not questioned of their sins.


tafseer:
Then went he forth before his people in his pomp. Those who were desirous of the life of the world said: Ah, would that we had the like of what hath been given unto Korah! Lo! he is lord of rare good fortune.


tafseer:
But those who had been given knowledge said: Woe unto you! The reward of Allah for him who believeth and doeth right is better, and only the steadfast will obtain it.


tafseer:
So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling-place. Then he had no host to help him against Allah, nor was he of those who can save themselves.


tafseer:
And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday crying: Ah, welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not been gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah, welladay! the disbelievers never prosper.


tafseer:
As for that Abode of the Hereafter We assign it unto those who seek not oppression in the earth, nor yet corruption. The sequel is for those who ward off (evil).


tafseer:
Lo! He Who hath given thee the Qur´an for a law will surely bring thee home again. Say: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth guidance and him who is in error manifest.


tafseer:
And cry not unto any other god along with Allah. There is no Allah save Him. Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the command, and unto Him ye will be brought back.


tafseer:
Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction?


tafseer:
Lo! We tested those who were before you. Thus Allah knoweth those who are sincere, and knoweth those who feign.


tafseer:
Or do those who do ill-deeds imagine that they can outstrip Us? Evil (for them) is that which they decide.


tafseer:
Whoso looketh forward to the meeting with Allah (let him know that) Allah´s reckoning is surely nigh, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.


tafseer:
And as for those who believe and do good works, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall repay them the best that they did.


tafseer:
And as for those who believe and do good works, We verily shall make them enter in among the righteous.


tafseer:
Of mankind is he who saith: We believe in Allah, but, if he be made to suffer for the sake of Allah, he mistaketh the persecution of mankind for Allah´s punishment


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Follow our way (of religion) and we verily will bear your sins (for you). They cannot bear aught of their sins. Lo! they verily are liars.


tafseer:
But they verily will bear their own loads and other loads beside their own, and they verily will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning that which they invented.


tafseer:
And verily we sent Noah (as Our messenger) unto his folk, and he continued with them for a thousand years save fifty years


tafseer:
Ye serve instead of Allah only idols, and ye only invent a lie. Lo! those whom ye serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him, and give thanks unto Him, (for) unto Him ye will be brought back.


tafseer:
But if ye deny, then nations have denied before you. The messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly.


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see how He originated creation, then Allah bringeth forth the later growth. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
Ye cannot escape (from Him) in the earth or in the sky, and beside Allah there is for you no friend or helper.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve in the revelations of Allah and in (their) Meeting with Him, such have no hope of My mercy. For such there is a painful doom.


tafseer:
He said: Ye have chosen only idols instead of Allah. The love between you is only in the life of the world. Then on the Day of Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other, and your abode will be the Fire, and ye will have no helpers.


tafseer:
And Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
And We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and We established the prophethood and the Scripture among his seed, and We gave him his reward in the world, and lo! in the Hereafter he verily is among the righteous.


tafseer:
And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Lo! ye commit lewdness such as no creature did before you.


tafseer:
For come ye not in unto males, and cut ye not the road (for travellers), and commit ye not abomination in your meetings? But the answer of his folk was only that they said: Bring Allah´s doom upon us if thou art a truthteller!


tafseer:
And when Our messengers brought Abraham the good news, they said: Lo! we are about to destroy the people of that township, for its people are wrong-doers.


tafseer:
He said: Lo! Lot is there. They said: We are best aware of who is there. We are to deliver him and his household, all save his wife, who is of those who stay behind.


tafseer:
And when Our messengers came unto Lot, he was troubled upon their account, for he could not protect them


tafseer:
Lo! We are about to bring down upon the folk of this township a fury from the sky because they are evil-livers.


tafseer:
And unto Midian We sent Shu´eyb, their brother. He said: O my people! Serve Allah, and look forward to the Last Day, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth.


tafseer:
But they denied him, and the dreadful earthquake took them, and morning found them prostrate in their dwelling place.


tafseer:
And (the tribes of) A´ad and Thamud! (Their fate) is manifest unto you from their (ruined and deserted) dwellings. Satan made their deeds seem fair unto them and so debarred them from the Way, though they were keen observers.


tafseer:
And Korah, Pharaoh and Haman! Moses came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah´s Sovereignty), but they were boastful in the land. And they were not winners (in the race).


tafseer:
The likeness of those who choose other patrons than Allah is as the likeness of the spider when she taketh unto herself a house, and lo! the frailest of all houses is the spider´s house, if they but knew.


tafseer:
As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.


tafseer:
Recite that which hath been inspired in thee of the Scripture, and establish worship. Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more important. And Allah knoweth what ye do.


tafseer:
And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in (a way) that is better, save with such of them as do wrong


tafseer:
In like manner We have revealed unto thee the Scripture, and those unto whom We gave the Scripture aforetime will believe therein


tafseer:
And thou (O Muhammad) wast not a reader of any scripture before it, nor didst thou write it with thy right hand, for then might those have doubted, who follow falsehood.


tafseer:
But it is clear revelations in the hearts of those who have been given knowledge, and none deny Our revelations save wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And they say: Why are not portents sent down upon him from his Lord? Say: Portents are with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner.


tafseer:
Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you. He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in vanity and disbelieve in Allah, they it is who are the losers.


tafseer:
They bid thee hasten on the doom (of Allah). And if a term had not been appointed, the doom would assuredly have come unto them (ere now). And verily it will come upon them suddenly when they perceive not.


tafseer:
On the day when the doom will overwhelm them from above them and from underneath their feet, and He will say: Taste what ye used to do!


tafseer:
Those who believe and do good works, them verily We shall house in lofty dwellings of the Garden underneath which rivers flow. There they will dwell secure. How sweet the guerdon of the toilers,


tafseer:
And how many an animal there is that beareth not its own provision! Allah provideth for it and for you. He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
And if thou wert to ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, and constrained the sun and the moon (to their appointed work)? they would say: Allah. How then are they turned away?


tafseer:
Allah maketh the provision wide for whom He will of His bondmen, and straiteneth it for whom (He will). Lo! Allah is Aware of all things.


tafseer:
And if thou wert to ask them: Who causeth water to come down from the sky, and therewith reviveth the earth after its death? they verily would say: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most of them have no sense.


tafseer:
This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter - that is Life, if they but knew.


tafseer:
And when they mount upon the ships they pray to Allah, making their faith pure for Him only, but when He bringeth them safe to land, behold! they ascribe partners (unto Him),


tafseer:
That they may disbelieve in that which We have given them, and that they may take their ease. But they will come to know.


tafseer:
Have they not seen that We have appointed a sanctuary immune (from violence), while mankind are ravaged all around them? Do they then believe in falsehood and disbelieve in the bounty of Allah?


tafseer:
Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah, or denieth the truth when it cometh unto him? Is not there a home in hell for disbelievers?


tafseer:
Within ten years - Allah´s is the command in the former case and in the latter - and in that day believers will rejoice


tafseer:
Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power, and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah´s Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves.


tafseer:
Then evil was the consequence to those who dealt in evil, because they denied the revelations of Allah and made a mock of them.


tafseer:
There will be none to intercede for them of those whom they made equal with Allah. And they will reject their partners (whom they ascribed unto Him).


tafseer:
But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, such will be brought to doom.


tafseer:
He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and He bringeth forth the dead from the living, and He reviveth the earth after her death. And even so will ye be brought forth.


tafseer:
And of His signs is this: He created for you helpmeets from yourselves that ye might find rest in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who reflect.


tafseer:
And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Lo! herein indeed are portents for men of knowledge.


tafseer:
And of His signs is your slumber by night and by day, and your seeking of His bounty. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who heed.


tafseer:
And of His signs is this: He showeth you the lightning for a fear and for a hope, and sendeth down water from the sky, and thereby quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who understand.


tafseer:
And of His signs is this: The heavens and the earth stand fast by His command, and afterward, when He calleth you, lo! from the earth ye will emerge.


tafseer:
He it is Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and it is easier for Him. His is the Sublime Similitude in the heavens and the earth. He is the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves. Have ye, from among those whom your right hands possess, partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you, equal with you in respect thereof, so that ye fear them as ye fear each other (that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which We created)? Thus We display the revelations for people who have sense.


tafseer:
Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge. Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? For such there are no helpers.


tafseer:
So set thy purpose (O Muhammad) for religion as a man by nature upright - the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah´s creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not -


tafseer:
So as to disbelieve in that which We have given them. (Unto such it is said): Enjoy yourselves awhile, but ye will come to know.


tafseer:
See they not that Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who believe.


tafseer:
So give to the kinsman his due, and to the needy, and to the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah´s Countenance. And such are they who are successful.


tafseer:
That which ye give in usury in order that it may increase on (other) people´s property hath no increase with Allah


tafseer:
Allah is He Who created you and then sustained you, then causeth you to die, then giveth life to you again. Is there any of your (so-called) partners (of Allah) that doeth aught of that? Praised and Exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)!


tafseer:
Corruption doth appear on land and sea because of (the evil) which men´s hands have done, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return.


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the nature of the consequence for those who were before you! Most of them were idolaters.


tafseer:
So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion, before the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day mankind will be sundered-


tafseer:
Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the consequences of his disbelief, while those who do right make provision for themselves -


tafseer:
That He may reward out of His bounty those who believe and do good works. Lo! He loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance).


tafseer:
And of His signs is this: He sendeth herald winds to make you taste His mercy, and that the ships may sail at His command, and that ye may seek his favour, and that haply ye may be thankful.


tafseer:
Verily We sent before thee (Muhammad) messengers to their own folk. Then we took vengeance upon those who were guilty (in regard to them). To help believers is ever incumbent upon Us.


tafseer:
Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and causeth them to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice


tafseer:
Look, therefore, at the prints of Allah´s mercy (in creation): how He quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
And if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow, they verily would still continue in their disbelief.


tafseer:
For verily thou (Muhammad) canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee.


tafseer:
Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear save those who believe in Our revelations so that they surrender (unto Him).


tafseer:
Allah is He Who shaped you out of weakness, then appointed after weakness strength, then, after strength, appointed weakness and grey hair. He createth what He will. He is the Knower, the Mighty.


tafseer:
And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry but an hour - thus were they ever deceived.


tafseer:
But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah´s decree, until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.


tafseer:
In that day their excuses will not profit those who did injustice, nor will they be allowed to make amends.


tafseer:
So have patience (O Muhammad)! Allah´s promise is the very truth, and let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient.


tafseer:
And of mankind is he who payeth for mere pastime of discourse, that he may mislead from Allah´s way without knowledge, and maketh it the butt of mockery. For such there is a shameful doom.


tafseer:
And when Our revelations are recited unto him he turneth away in pride as if he heard them not, as if there were a deafness in his ears. So give him tidings of a painful doom.


tafseer:
He hath created the heavens without supports that ye can see, and hath cast into the earth firm hills, so that it quake not with you


tafseer:
This is the Creation of Allah. Now show me that which those (ye worship) beside Him have created. Nay, but the wrong-doers are in error manifest!


tafseer:
And (remember) when Luqman said unto his son, when he was exhorting him: O my dear son! Ascribe no partners unto Allah. Lo! to ascribe partners (unto Him) is a tremendous wrong -


tafseer:
And We have enjoined upon man concerning his partners - His mother beareth him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years - Give thanks unto Me and unto thy parents. Unto Me is the journeying.


tafseer:
But if they strive with thee to make thee ascribe unto Me as partner that of which thou hast no knowledge, then obey them not. Consort with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who repenteth unto Me. Then unto Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what ye used to do -


tafseer:
O my dear son! Lo! 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 will bring it forth. Lo! Allah is Subtile, Aware.


tafseer:
O my dear son! Establish worship and enjoin kindness and forbid iniquity, and persevere whatever may befall thee. Lo! that is of the steadfast heart of things.


tafseer:
Turn not thy cheek in scorn toward folk, nor walk with pertness in the land. Lo! Allah loveth not each braggart boaster.


tafseer:
Be modest in thy bearing and subdue thy voice. Lo! the harshest of all voices is the voice of the ass.


tafseer:
See ye not how Allah hath made serviceable unto you whatsoever is in the skies and whatsoever is in the earth and hath loaded you with His favours both without and within? Yet of mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah, without knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving light.


tafseer:
And if it be said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath revealed, they say: Nay, but we follow that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though the devil were inviting them unto the doom of flame?


tafseer:
Whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, he verily hath grasped the firm hand-hold. Unto Allah belongeth the sequel of all things.


tafseer:
And whosoever disbelieveth, let not his disbelief afflict thee (O Muhammad). Unto Us is their return, and We shall tell them what they did. Lo! Allah is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men).


tafseer:
If thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they would answer: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not.


tafseer:
Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Lo! Allah, He is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise.


tafseer:
And if all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea, with seven more seas to help it, (were ink), the words of Allah could not be exhausted. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise.


tafseer:
Your creation and your raising (from the dead) are only as (the creation and the raising of) a single soul. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen how Allah causeth the night to pass into the day and causeth the day to pass into the night, and hath subdued the sun and the moon (to do their work), each running unto an appointed term


tafseer:
That (is so) because Allah, He is the True, and that which they invoke beside Him is the False, and because Allah, He is the Sublime, the Great.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen how the ships glide on the sea by Allah´s grace, that He may show you of His wonders? Lo! therein indeed are portents for every steadfast, grateful (heart).


tafseer:
And if a wave enshroudeth them like awnings, they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only. But when He bringeth them safe to land, some of them compromise. None denieth Our signs save every traitor ingrate.


tafseer:
O mankind! Keep your duty to your Lord and fear a Day when the parent will not be able to avail the child in aught, nor the child to avail the parent. Lo! Allah´s promise is the very truth. Let not the life of the world beguile you, nor let the deceiver beguile you, in regard to Allah.


tafseer:
Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendeth down the rain, and knoweth that which is in the wombs. No soul knoweth what it will earn to-morrow, and no soul knoweth in what land it will die. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.


tafseer:
Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayst warn a folk to whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may walk aright.


tafseer:
Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days. Then He mounted the Throne. Ye have not, beside Him, a protecting friend or mediator. Will ye not then remember?


tafseer:
And they say: When we are lost in the earth, how can we then be re-created? Nay but they are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.


tafseer:
Say: The angel of death, who hath charge concerning you, will gather you, and afterward unto your Lord ye will be returned.


tafseer:
Couldst thou but see when the guilty hang their heads before their Lord, (and say): Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back


tafseer:
And if We had so willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me concerning evildoers took effect: that I will fill hell with the jinn and mankind together.


tafseer:
So taste (the evil of your deeds). Forasmuch as ye forgot the meeting of this your day, lo! We forget you. Taste the doom of immortality because of what ye used to do.


tafseer:
Only those believe in Our revelations who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate and hymn the praise of their Lord, and they are not scornful,


tafseer:
Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of that We have bestowed on them.


tafseer:
But as for those who believe and do good works, for them are the Gardens of Retreat - a welcome (in reward) for what they used to do.


tafseer:
And as for those who do evil, their retreat is the Fire. Whenever they desire to issue forth from thence, they are brought back thither. Unto them it is said: Taste the torment of the Fire which ye used to deny.


tafseer:
And who doth greater wrong than he who is reminded of the revelations of his Lord, then turneth from them. Lo! We shall requite the guilty.


tafseer:
And when they became steadfast and believed firmly in Our revelations, We appointed from among them leaders who guided by Our command.


tafseer:
Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.


tafseer:
Is it not a guidance for them (to observe) how many generations We destroyed before them, amid whose dwelling places they do walk? Lo! therein verily are portents! Will they not then heed?


tafseer:
Have they not seen how We lead the water to the barren land and therewith bring forth crops whereof their cattle eat, and they themselves? Will they not then see?


tafseer:
Say (unto them): On the day of the victory the faith of those who disbelieve (and who then will believe) will not avail them, neither will they be reprieved.


tafseer:
O Prophet! Keep thy duty to Allah and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.


tafseer:
Allah hath not assigned unto any man two hearts within his body, nor hath He made your wives whom ye declare (to be your mothers) your mothers, nor hath He made those whom ye claim (to be your sons) your sons. This is but a saying of your mouths. But Allah saith the truth and He showeth the way.


tafseer:
Proclaim their real parentage. That will be more equitable in the sight of Allah. And if ye know not their fathers, then (they are) your brethren in the faith, and your clients. And there is no sin for you in the mistakes that ye make unintentionally, but what your hearts purpose (that will be a sin for you). Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
The Prophet is closer to the believers than their selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers. And the owners of kinship are closer one to another in the ordinance of Allah than (other) believers and the fugitives (who fled from Mecca), except that ye should do kindness to your friends. This is written in the Book (of nature).


tafseer:
And when We exacted a covenant from the prophets, and from thee (O Muhammad) and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of Mary. We took from them a solemn covenant


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Remember Allah´s favour unto you when there came against you hosts, and We sent against them a great wind and hosts ye could not see. And Allah is ever Seer of what ye do.


tafseer:
When they came upon you from above you and from below you, and when eyes grew wild and hearts reached to the throats, and ye were imagining vain thoughts concerning Allah.


tafseer:
And when the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, were saying: Allah and His messenger promised us naught but delusion.


tafseer:
And when a party of them said: O folk of Yathrib! There is no stand (possible) for you, therefor turn back. And certain of them (even) sought permission of the Prophet, saying: Our homes lie open (to the enemy). And they lay not open. They but wished to flee.


tafseer:
If the enemy had entered from all sides and they had been exhorted to treachery, they would have committed it, and would have hesitated thereupon but little.


tafseer:
And verily they had already sworn unto Allah that they would not turn their backs (to the foe). An oath to Allah must be answered for.


tafseer:
Say: Flight will not avail you if ye flee from death or killing, and then ye dwell in comfort but a little while.


tafseer:
Say: Who is he who can preserve you from Allah if He intendeth harm for you, or intendeth mercy for you. They will not find that they have any friend or helper other than Allah.


tafseer:
Being sparing of their help to you (believers). But when the fear cometh, then thou (Muhammad) seest them regarding thee with rolling eyes like one who fainteth unto death. Then, when the fear departeth, they scald you with sharp tongues in their greed for wealth (from the spoil). Such have not believed. Therefor Allah maketh their deeds fruitless. And that is easy for Allah.


tafseer:
Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much.


tafseer:
And when the true believers saw the clans, they said: This is that which Allah and His messenger promised us. Allah and His messenger are true. It did but confirm them in their faith and resignation.


tafseer:
Of the believers are men who are true to that which they covenanted with Allah. Some of them have paid their vow by death (in battle), and some of them still are waiting


tafseer:
That Allah may reward the true men for their truth, and punish the hypocrites if He will, or relent toward them (if He will). Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts. Some ye slew, and ye made captive some.


tafseer:
And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and land ye have not trodden. Allah is ever Able to do all things.


tafseer:
O Prophet! Say unto thy wives: If ye desire the world´s life and its adornment, come! I will content you and will release you with a fair release.


tafseer:
But if ye desire Allah and His messenger and the abode of the Hereafter, then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good among you an immense reward.


tafseer:
O ye wives of the Prophet! Whosoever of you committeth manifest lewdness, the punishment for her will be doubled, and that is easy for Allah.


tafseer:
And whosoever of you is submissive unto Allah and His messenger and doeth right, We shall give her her reward twice over, and We have prepared for her a rich provision.


tafseer:
O ye wives of the Prophet! Ye are not like any other women. If ye keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft of speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease aspire (to you), but utter customary speech.


tafseer:
And stay in your houses. Bedizen not yourselves with the bedizenment of the Time of Ignorance. Be regular in prayer, and pay the poor-due, and obey Allah and His messenger. Allah´s wish is but to remove uncleanness far from you, O Folk of the Household, and cleanse you with a thorough cleansing.


tafseer:
And bear in mind that which is recited in your houses of the revelations of Allah and wisdom. Lo! Allah is Subtile, Aware.


tafseer:
Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah much and women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.


tafseer:
And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His messenger have decided an affair (for them), that they should (after that) claim any say in their affair


tafseer:
And when thou saidst unto him on whom Allah hath conferred favour and thou hast conferred favour: Keep thy wife to thyself, and fear Allah. And thou didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to light, and thou didst fear mankind whereas Allah hath a better right that thou shouldst fear Him. So when Zeyd had performed that necessary formality (of divorce) from her, We gave her unto thee in marriage, so that (henceforth) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have performed the necessary formality (of release) from them. The commandment of Allah must be fulfilled.


tafseer:
There is no reproach for the Prophet in that which Allah maketh his due. That was Allah´s way with those who passed away of old - and the commandment of Allah is certain destiny -


tafseer:
Who delivered the messages of Allah and feared Him, and feared none save Allah. Allah keepeth good account.


tafseer:
Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets


tafseer:
He it is Who blesseth you, and His angels (bless you), that He may bring you forth from darkness unto light


tafseer:
Their salutation on the day when they shall meet Him will be: Peace. And He hath prepared for them a goodly recompense.


tafseer:
And incline not to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Disregard their noxious talk, and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! If ye wed believing women and divorce them before ye have touched them, then there is no period that ye should reckon. But content them and release them handsomely.


tafseer:
O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, and the daughters of thine uncle on the father´s side and the daughters of thine aunts on the father´s side, and the daughters of thine uncle on the mother´s side and the daughters of thine aunts on the mother´s side who emigrated with thee, and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the Prophet desire to ask her in marriage - a privilege for thee only, not for the (rest of) believers - We are Aware of that which We enjoined upon them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess - that thou mayst be free from blame, for Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee whom thou wilt, and whomsoever thou desirest of those whom thou hast set aside (temporarily), it is no sin for thee (to receive her again)


tafseer:
It is not allowed thee to take (other) women henceforth, nor that thou shouldst change them for other wives even though their beauty pleased thee, save those whom thy right hand possesseth. And Allah is ever Watcher over all things.


tafseer:
O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time, unless permission be granted you. But if ye are invited, enter, and, when your meal is ended, then disperse. Linger not for conversation. Lo! that would cause annoyance to the Prophet, and he would be shy of (asking) you (to go)


tafseer:
It is no sin for them (thy wives) to converse freely) with their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brothers´ sons, or the sons of their sisters or of their own women, or their slaves. O women! Keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Witness over all things.


tafseer:
Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.


tafseer:
Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in the world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained.


tafseer:
And those who malign believing men and believing women undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin.


tafseer:
O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbours in it but a little while.


tafseer:
Men ask thee of the Hour. Say: The knowledge of it is with Allah only. What can convey (the knowledge) unto thee? It may be that the Hour is nigh.


tafseer:
On the day when their faces are turned over in the Fire, they say: Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and had obeyed His messenger!


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Be not as those who slandered Moses, but Allah proved his innocence of that which they alleged, and he was well esteemed in Allah´s sight.


tafseer:
He will adjust your works for you and will forgive you your sins. Whosoever obeyeth Allah and His messenger, he verily hath gained a signal victory.


tafseer:
Lo! We offered the trust unto the heavens and the earth and the hills, but they shrank from bearing it and were afraid of it. And man assumed it. Lo! he hath proved a tyrant and a fool.


tafseer:
So Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and idolatrous men and idolatrous women. But Allah pardoneth believing men and believing women, and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Praise be to Allah, unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. His is the praise in the Hereafter, and He is the Wise, the Aware.


tafseer:
He knoweth that which goeth into the earth and that which cometh forth from it, and that descendeth from the heaven and that which ascendeth into it. He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve say: The Hour will never come unto us. Say: Nay, by my Lord, but it is coming unto you surely. (He is) the Knower of the Unseen. Not an atom´s weight, or less than that or greater, escapeth Him in the heavens or in the earth, but it is in a clear Record,


tafseer:
But those who strive against Our revelations, challenging (Us), theirs will be a painful doom of wrath.


tafseer:
Those who have been given knowledge see that what is revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the truth and leadeth unto the path of the Mighty, the Owner of Praise.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve say: Shall we show you a man who will tell you (that) when ye have become dispersed in dust with most complete dispersal still, even then, ye will be created anew?


tafseer:
Hath he invented a lie concerning Allah, or is there in him a madness? Nay, but those who disbelieve in the Hereafter are in torment and far error.


tafseer:
Have they not observed what is before them and what is behind them of the sky and the earth? If We will, We can make the earth swallow them, or cause obliteration from the sky to fall on them. Lo! herein surely is a portent for every slave who turneth (to Allah) repentant.


tafseer:
And assuredly We gave David grace from Us, (saying): O ye hills and birds, echo his psalms of praise! And We made the iron supple unto him,


tafseer:
Saying: Make thou long coats of mail and measure the links (thereof). And do ye right. Lo! I am Seer of what ye do.


tafseer:
And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind, whereof the morning course was a month´s journey and the evening course a month´s journey, and We caused the fount of copper to gush forth for him, and (We gave him) certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And such of them as deviated from Our command, them We caused to taste the punishment of flaming Fire.


tafseer:
They made for him what he willed: synagogues and statues, basins like wells and boilers built into the ground. Give thanks, O House of David! Few of My bondmen are thankful.


tafseer:
And when We decreed death for him, nothing showed his death to them save a creeping creature of the earth which gnawed away his staff. And when he fell the jinn saw clearly how, if they had known the Unseen, they would not have continued in despised toil.


tafseer:
There was indeed a sign for Sheba in their dwelling-place: Two gardens on the right hand and the left (as who should say): Eat of the provision of your Lord and render thanks to Him. A fair land and an indulgent Lord!


tafseer:
But they were froward, so We sent on them the flood of ´Iram, and in exchange for their two gardens gave them two gardens bearing bitter fruit, the tamarisk and here and there a lote-tree.


tafseer:
And We set, between them and the towns which We had blessed, towns easy to be seen, and We made the stage between them easy, (saying): Travel in them safely both by night and day.


tafseer:
But they said: Our Lord! Make the stage between our journeys longer. And they wronged themselves, therefore We made them bywords (in the land) and scattered them abroad, a total scattering. Lo! herein verily are portents for each steadfast, grateful (heart).


tafseer:
And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them, for they follow him, all save a group of true believers.


tafseer:
And he had no warrant whatsoever against them, save that We would know him who believeth in the Hereafter from him who is in doubt thereof


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): Call upon those whom ye set up beside Allah! They possess not an atom´s weight either in the heavens or in the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor hath He an auxiliary among them.


tafseer:
No intercession availeth with Him save for him whom He permitteth. Yet, when fear is banished from their hearts, they say: What was it that your Lord said? They say: The Truth. And He is the Sublime, the Great.


tafseer:
Say: Who giveth you provision from the sky and the earth? Say: Allah, Lo! we or you assuredly are rightly guided or in error manifest.


tafseer:
Say: Our Lord will bring us all together, then He will judge between us with truth. He is the All-knowing Judge.


tafseer:
Say: Show me those whom ye have joined unto Him as partners. Nay (ye dare not)! For He is Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
And We have not sent thee (O Muhammad) save as a bringer of good tidings and a warner unto all mankind


tafseer:
Those who were proud say unto those who were despised: Did we drive you away from the guidance after it had come unto you? Nay, but ye were guilty.


tafseer:
Those who were despised say unto those who were proud: Nay but (it was your) scheming night and day, when ye commanded us to disbelieve in Allah and set up rivals unto Him. And they are filled with remorse when they behold the doom


tafseer:
And We sent not unto any township a warner, but its pampered ones declared: Lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent.


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will and narroweth it (for whom He will). But most of mankind know not.


tafseer:
And it is not your wealth nor your children that will bring you near unto Us, but he who believeth and doeth good (he draweth near). As for such, theirs will be twofold reward for what they did and they will dwell secure in lofty halls.


tafseer:
Say: Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His bondmen, and narroweth (it) for him. And whatsoever ye spend (for good) He replaceth it. And He is the Best of Providers.


tafseer:
And on the day when He will gather them all together, He will say unto the angels: Did these worship you?


tafseer:
They will say: Be Thou Glorified. Thou (alone) art our Guardian, not them! Nay, but they worshipped the jinn


tafseer:
That day ye will possess no use nor hurt one for another. And We shall say unto those who did wrong: Taste the doom of the Fire which ye used to deny.


tafseer:
And if Our revelations are recited unto them in plain terms, they say: This is naught else than a man who would turn you away from what your fathers used to worship


tafseer:
And We have given them no scriptures which they study, nor sent We unto them, before thee, any warner.


tafseer:
Those before them denied, and these have not attained a tithe of that which We bestowed on them (of old)


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I exhort you unto one thing only: that ye awake, for Allah´s sake, by twos and singly, and then reflect: There is no madness in your comrade. He is naught else than a warner unto you in face of a terrific doom.


tafseer:
Say: Whatever reward I might have asked of you is yours. My reward is the affair of Allah only. He is Witness over all things.


tafseer:
Say: If I err, I err only to my own loss, and if I am rightly guided it is because of that which my Lord hath revealed unto me. Lo! He is Hearer, Nigh.


tafseer:
And a gulf is set between them and that which they desire, as was done for people of their kind of old. Lo! they were in hopeless doubt.


tafseer:
Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two, three and four. He multiplieth in creation what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
O mankind! Remember Allah´s grace toward you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provideth for you from the sky and the earth? There is no Allah save Him. Whither then are ye turned?


tafseer:
And if they deny thee, (O Muhammad), messengers (of Allah) were denied before thee. Unto Allah all things are brought back.


tafseer:
O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. So let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah.


tafseer:
Lo! the devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy. He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire.


tafseer:
Is he, the evil of whose deeds is made fairseeming unto him so that he deemeth it good, (other than Satan´s dupe)? Allah verily sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will


tafseer:
Whoso desireth power (should know that) all power belongeth to Allah. Unto Him good words ascend, and the pious deed doth He exalt


tafseer:
Allah created you from dust, then from a little fluid, then He made you pairs (the male and female). No female beareth or bringeth forth save with His knowledge. And no-one groweth old who groweth old, nor is aught lessened of his life, but it is recorded in a Book, Lo! that is easy for Allah.


tafseer:
And the two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks.


tafseer:
He maketh the night to pass into the day and He maketh the day to pass into the night. He hath subdued the sun and moon to service. Each runneth unto an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord


tafseer:
If ye pray unto them they hear not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware.


tafseer:
O mankind! Ye are the poor in your relation to Allah. And Allah! He is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise.


tafseer:
And no burdened soul can bear another´s burden, and if one heavy laden crieth for (help with) his load, naught of it will be lifted even though he (unto whom he crieth) be of kin. Thou warnest only those who fear their Lord in secret, and have established worship. He who groweth (in goodness), groweth only for himself, (he cannot by his merit redeem others). Unto Allah is the journeying.


tafseer:
Nor are the living equal with the dead. Lo! Allah maketh whom He will to hear. Thou canst not reach those who are in the graves.


tafseer:
And if they deny thee, those before them also denied. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah´s Sovereignty), and with the Psalms and the Scripture giving light.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen that Allah causeth water to fall from the sky, and We produce therewith fruit of divers hues


tafseer:
And of men and beasts and cattle, in like manner, divers hues? The erudite among His bondmen fear Allah alone. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Forgiving.


tafseer:
Lo! those who read the Scripture of Allah, and establish worship, and spend of that which We have bestowed on them secretly and openly, they look forward to imperishable gain,


tafseer:
As for that which We inspire in thee of the Scripture, it is the Truth confirming that which was (revealed) before it. Lo! Allah is indeed Observer, Seer of His slaves.


tafseer:
Then We gave the Scripture as inheritance unto those whom We elected of Our bondmen. But of them are some who wrong themselves and of them are some who are lukewarm, and of them are some who outstrip (others) through good deeds, by Allah´s leave. That is the great favour!


tafseer:
Gardens of Eden! They enter them wearing armlets of gold and pearl and their raiment therein is silk.


tafseer:
And they say: Praise be to Allah Who hath put grief away from us. Lo! Our Lord is Forgiving, Bountiful,


tafseer:
Who, of His grace, hath installed us in the mansion of eternity, where toil toucheth us not nor can weariness affect us.


tafseer:
Lo! Allah is the Knower of the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. Lo! He is Aware of the secret of (men´s) breasts.


tafseer:
Say: Have ye seen your partner-gods to whom ye pray beside Allah? Show me what they created of the earth! Or have they any portion in the heavens? Or have We given them a scripture so they act on clear proof therefrom? Nay, the evil-doers promise one another only to deceive.


tafseer:
Lo! Allah graspeth the heavens and the earth that they deviate not, and if they were to deviate there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving.


tafseer:
And they swore by Allah, their most binding oath, that if a warner came unto them they would be more tractable than any of the nations


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them, and they were mightier than these in power? Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth escapeth Him. Lo! He is the Wise, the Mighty.


tafseer:
If Allah took mankind to task by that which they deserve, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth


tafseer:
Already hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not.


tafseer:
And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.


tafseer:
Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward.


tafseer:
Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register.


tafseer:
When We sent unto them twain, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto you.


tafseer:
(The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and grievous torture will befall you at our hands.


tafseer:
They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth)? Nay, but ye are froward folk!


tafseer:
And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent!


tafseer:
Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save?


tafseer:
Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed returned not unto them


tafseer:
A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof


tafseer:
And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein,


tafseer:
That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?


tafseer:
Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not!


tafseer:
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.


tafseer:
When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy (they are heedless).


tafseer:
And when it is said unto them: Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed? Ye are in naught else than error manifest.


tafseer:
Crying: Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of sleep? This is that which the Beneficent did promise, and the messengers spoke truth.


tafseer:
This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn.


tafseer:
And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen?


tafseer:
And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.


tafseer:
He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense?


tafseer:
And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain,


tafseer:
Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners,


tafseer:
And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away?


tafseer:
Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator,


tafseer:
Therefor Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back.


tafseer:
Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.


tafseer:
(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship


tafseer:
Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?


tafseer:
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.


tafseer:
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.


tafseer:
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).


tafseer:
How many a generation We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was no longer the time for escape!


tafseer:
And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan.


tafseer:
The chiefs among them go about, exhorting: Go and be staunch to your gods! Lo! this is a thing designed.


tafseer:
Or is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them theirs? Then let them ascend by ropes!


tafseer:
The folk of Noah before them denied (their messenger) and (so did the tribe of) A´ad, and Pharaoh firmly planted,


tafseer:
And (the tribe of) Thamud, and the folk of Lot, and the dwellers in the wood: these were the factions.


tafseer:
Bear with what they say, and remember Our bondman David, lord of might, Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah).


tafseer:
And hath the story of the litigants come unto thee? How they climbed the wall into the royal chamber


tafseer:
How they burst in upon David, and he was afraid of them. They said: Be not afraid! (We are) two litigants, one of whom hath wronged the other, therefor judge aright between us


tafseer:
(David) said: He hath wronged thee in demanding thine ewe in addition to his ewes, and lo! many partners oppress one another, save such as believe and do good works, and they are few. And David guessed that We had tried him, and he sought forgiveness of his Lord, and he bowed himself and fell down prostrate and repented.


tafseer:
And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in vain. That is the opinion of those who disbelieve. And woe unto those who disbelieve, from the Fire!


tafseer:
(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect.


tafseer:
And We bestowed on David, Solomon. How excellent a slave! Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah).


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me sovereignty such as shall not belong to any after me. Lo! Thou art the Bestower.


tafseer:
And make mention (O Muhammad) of Our bondman Job, when he cried unto his Lord (saying): Lo! the devil doth afflict me with distress and torment.


tafseer:
(And it was said unto him): Strike the ground with thy foot. This (spring) is a cool bath and a refreshing drink.


tafseer:
And We bestowed on him (again) his household and therewith the like thereof, a mercy from Us, and a memorial for men of understanding.


tafseer:
And (it was said unto him): Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith, and break not thine oath. Lo! We found him steadfast, how excellent a slave! Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (to his Lord).


tafseer:
Here is an army rushing blindly with you. (Those who are already in the Fire say): No word of welcome for them. Lo! they will roast at the Fire.


tafseer:
They say: Nay, but you (misleaders), for you there is no word of welcome. Ye prepared this for us (by your misleading). Now hapless is the plight.


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I am only a warner, and there is no Allah save Allah, the One, the Absolute,


tafseer:
And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate,


tafseer:
He said: O Iblis! What hindereth thee from falling prostrate before that which I have created with both My hands? Art thou too proud or art thou of the high exalted?


tafseer:
Surely pure religion is for Allah only. And those who choose protecting friends beside Him (say): We worship them only that they may bring us near unto Allah. Lo! Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Lo! Allah guideth not him who is a liar, an ingrate.


tafseer:
If Allah had willed to choose a son, He could have chosen what He would of that which He hath created. Be He Glorified! He is Allah, the One, the Absolute.


tafseer:
He hath created the heavens and the earth with truth. He maketh night to succeed day, and He maketh day to succeed night, and He constraineth the sun and the moon to give service, each running on for an appointed term. Is not He the Mighty, the Forgiver?


tafseer:
If ye are thankless, yet Allah is Independent of you, though He is not pleased with thanklessness for His bondmen


tafseer:
And when some hurt toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning unto Him (repentant). Then, when He granteth him a boon from Him he forgetteth that for which he cried unto Him before, and setteth up rivals to Allah that he may beguile (men) from his way. Say (O Muhammad, unto such an one): Take pleasure in thy disbelief a while. Lo! thou art of the owners of the Fire.


tafseer:
Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the night, prostrate and standing, bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (to be accounted equal with a disbeliever)? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed.


tafseer:
Say: O My bondmen who believe! Observe your duty to your Lord. For those who do good in this world there is good, and Allah´s earth is spacious. Verily the steadfast will be paid their wages without stint.


tafseer:
Then worship what ye will beside Him. Say: The losers will be those who lose themselves and their housefolk on the Day of Resurrection. Ah, that will be the manifest loss!


tafseer:
They have an awning of fire above them and beneath them a dais (of fire). With this doth Allah appal His bondmen. O My bondmen, therefor fear Me!


tafseer:
And those who put away false gods lest they should worship them and turn to Allah in repentance, for them there are glad tidings. Therefor give good tidings (O Muhammad) to My bondmen


tafseer:
Who hear advice and follow the best thereof. Such are those whom Allah guideth, and such are men of understanding.


tafseer:
Is he on whom the word of doom is fulfilled (to be helped), and canst thou (O Muhammad) rescue him who is in the Fire?


tafseer:
But those who keep their duty to their Lord, for them are lofty halls with lofty halls above them, built (for them), beneath which rivers flow. (It is) a promise of Allah. Allah faileth not His promise.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen how Allah hath sent down water from the sky and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as watersprings, and afterward thereby produceth crops of divers hues


tafseer:
Is he whose bosom Allah hath expanded for Al-Islam, so that he followeth a light from his Lord, (as he who disbelieveth)? Then woe unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah. Such are in plain error.


tafseer:
Allah hath (now) revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture consistent, (wherein promises of reward are) paired (with threats of punishment), whereat doth creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord, so that their flesh and their hearts soften to Allah´s reminder. Such is Allah´s guidance, wherewith He guideth whom He will. And him whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.


tafseer:
Is he then, who will strike his face against the awful doom upon the Day of Resurrection (as he who doeth right)? And it will be said unto the wrong-doers: Taste what ye used to earn.


tafseer:
Thus Allah made them taste humiliation in the life of the world, and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be greater if they did but know.


tafseer:
And verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur´an all kinds of similitudes, that haply they may reflect


tafseer:
Allah coineth a similitude: A man in relation to whom are several part-owners, quarrelling, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal in similitude? Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not.


tafseer:
And who doth greater wrong than he who telleth a lie against Allah, and denieth the truth when it reacheth him? Will not the home of disbelievers be in hell?


tafseer:
That Allah will remit from them the worst of what they did, and will pay them for reward the best they used to do.


tafseer:
Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.


tafseer:
And he whom Allah guideth, for him there can be no misleader. Is not Allah Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong)?


tafseer:
And verily, if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt


tafseer:
Lo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder over them.


tafseer:
Allah receiveth (men´s) souls at the time of their death, and that (soul) which dieth not (yet) in its sleep. He keepeth that (soul) for which He hath ordained death and dismisseth the rest till an appointed term. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought.


tafseer:
Or choose they intercessors other than Allah? Say: What! Even though they have power over nothing and have no intelligence?


tafseer:
Say: Unto Allah belongeth all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. And afterward unto Him ye will be brought back.


tafseer:
And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are repelled, and when those (whom they worship) beside Him are mentioned, behold! they are glad.


tafseer:
Say: O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! Thou wilt judge between Thy slaves concerning that wherein they used to differ.


tafseer:
And though those who do wrong possess all that is in the earth, and therewith as much again, they verily will seek to ransom themselves therewith on the Day of Resurrection from the awful doom


tafseer:
And the evils that they earned will appear unto them, and that whereat they used to scoff will surround them.


tafseer:
Now when hurt toucheth a man he crieth unto Us, and afterward when We have granted him a boon from Us, he saith: Only by force of knowledge I obtained it. Nay, but it is a test. But most of them know not.


tafseer:
Know they not that Allah enlargeth providence for whom He will, and straiteneth it (for whom He will). Lo! herein verily are portents for people who believe.


tafseer:
Say: O My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.


tafseer:
Turn unto your Lord repentant, and surrender unto Him, before there come unto you the doom, when ye cannot be helped.


tafseer:
And follow the better (guidance) of that which is revealed unto you from your Lord, before the doom cometh on you suddenly when ye know not,


tafseer:
Lest any soul should say: Alas, my grief that I was unmindful of Allah, and I was indeed among the scoffers!


tafseer:
Or should say, when it seeth the doom: Oh, that I had but a second chance that I might be among the righteous!


tafseer:
(But now the answer will be): Nay, for My revelations came unto thee, but thou didst deny them and wast scornful and wast among the disbelievers.


tafseer:
And on the Day of Resurrection thou (Muhammad) seest those who lied concerning Allah with their faces blackened. Is not the home of the scorners in hell?


tafseer:
And Allah delivereth those who ward off (evil) because of their deserts. Evil toucheth them not, nor do they grieve.


tafseer:
His are the keys of the heavens and the earth, and they who disbelieve the revelations of Allah - such are they who are the losers.


tafseer:
And verily it hath been revealed unto thee as unto those before thee (saying): If thou ascribe a partner to Allah thy work will fail and thou indeed wilt be among the losers.


tafseer:
And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him).


tafseer:
And the trumpet is blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth swoon away, save him whom Allah willeth. Then it is blown a second time, and behold them standing waiting!


tafseer:
And the earth shineth with the light of her Lord, and the Book is set up, and the prophets and the witnesses are brought, and it is judged between them with truth, and they are not wronged.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops till, when they reach it and the gates thereof are opened, and the warders thereof say unto them: Came there not unto you messengers of your own, reciting unto you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this your Day? they say: Yea, verily. But the word of doom of disbelievers is fulfilled.


tafseer:
It is said (unto them): Enter ye the gates of hell to dwell therein. Thus hapless is the journey´s end of the scorners.


tafseer:
And those who keep their duty to their Lord are driven unto the Garden in troops till, when they reach it, and the gates thereof are opened, and the warders thereof say unto them: Peace be unto you! Ye are good, so enter ye (the Garden of delight), to dwell therein


tafseer:
They say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath fulfilled His promise unto us and hath made us inherit the land, sojourning in the Garden where we will! So bounteous is the wage of workers.


tafseer:
And thou (O Muhammad) seest the angels thronging round the Throne, hymning the praises of their Lord. And they are judged aright. And it is said: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!


tafseer:
The Forgiver of sin, the Accepter of repentance, the Stern in punishment, the Bountiful. There is no Allah save Him. Unto Him is the journeying.


tafseer:
None argue concerning the revelations of Allah save those who disbelieve, so let not their turn of fortune in the land deceive thee (O Muhammad).


tafseer:
The folk of Noah and the factions after them denied (their messengers) before these, and every nation purposed to seize their messenger and argued falsely, (thinking) thereby to refute the Truth. Then I seized them, and how (awful) was My punishment.


tafseer:
Thus was the word of thy Lord concerning those who disbelieve fulfilled: That they are owners of the Fire.


tafseer:
Those who bear the Throne, and all who are round about it, hymn the praises of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who believe (saying): Our Lord! Thou comprehendest all things in mercy and knowledge, therefor forgive those who repent and follow Thy way. Ward off from them the punishment of hell.


tafseer:
Our Lord! And make them enter the Gardens of Eden which thou hast promised them, with such of their fathers and their wives and their descendants as do right. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
Lo! (on that day) those who disbelieve are informed by proclamation: Verily Allah´s abhorrence is more terrible than your abhorrence one of another, when ye were called unto the faith but did refuse.


tafseer:
They say: Our Lord! Twice hast Thou made us die, and twice hast Thou made us live. Now we confess our sins. Is there any way to go out?


tafseer:
(It is said unto them): This is (your plight) because, when Allah only was invoked, ye disbelieved, but when some partner was ascribed to Him ye were believing. But the command belongeth only to Allah, the Sublime, the Majestic.


tafseer:
He it is Who showeth you His portents, and sendeth down for you provision from the sky. None payeth heed save him who turneth (unto Him) repentant.


tafseer:
Therefor (O believers) pray unto Allah, making religion pure for Him (only), however much the disbelievers be averse -


tafseer:
The Exalter of Ranks, the Lord of the Throne. He causeth the Spirit of His command upon whom He will of His slaves, that He may warn of the Day of Meeting,


tafseer:
The day when they come forth, nothing of them being hidden from Allah. Whose is the Sovereignty this day? It is Allah´s, the One, the Almighty.


tafseer:
Warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of the approaching (doom), when the hearts will be choking the throats, (when) there will be no friend for the wrong-doers, nor any intercessor who will be heard.


tafseer:
Allah judgeth with truth, while those to whom they cry instead of Him judge not at all. Lo! Allah, He is the Hearer, the Seer.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those who disbelieved before them? They were mightier than these in power and (in the) traces (which they left behind them) in the earth. Yet Allah seized them for their sins, and they had no protector from Allah.


tafseer:
That was because their messengers kept bringing them clear proofs (of Allah´s Sovereignty) but they disbelieved


tafseer:
And when he brought them the Truth from Our presence, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and spare their women. But the plot of disbelievers is in naught but error.


tafseer:
And Pharaoh said: Suffer me to kill Moses, and let him cry unto his Lord. Lo! I fear that he will alter your religion or that he will cause confusion in the land.


tafseer:
Moses said: Lo! I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every scorner who believeth not in a Day of Reckoning.


tafseer:
And a believing man of Pharaoh´s family, who hid his faith, said: Would ye kill a man because he saith: My Lord is Allah, and hath brought you clear proofs from your Lord? If he is lying, then his lie is upon him


tafseer:
O my people! Yours is the kingdom to-day, ye being uppermost in the land. But who would save us from the wrath of Allah should it reach us? Pharaoh said: I do but show you what I think, and I do but guide you to wise policy.


tafseer:
A plight like that of Noah´s folk, and A´ad and Thamud, and those after them, and Allah willeth no injustice for (His) slaves.


tafseer:
A day when ye will turn to flee, having no preserver from Allah: and he whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.


tafseer:
And verily Joseph brought you of old clear proofs, yet ye ceased not to be in doubt concerning what he brought you till, when he died, ye said: Allah will not send any messenger after him. Thus Allah deceiveth him who is a prodigal, a doubter.


tafseer:
Those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without any warrant that hath come unto them, it is greatly hateful in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who believe. Thus doth Allah print on every arrogant, disdainful heart.


tafseer:
The roads of the heavens, and may look upon the god of Moses, though verily I think him a liar. Thus was the evil that he did made fairseeming unto Pharaoh, and he was debarred from the (right) way. The plot of Pharaoh ended but in ruin.


tafseer:
O my people! Lo! this life of the world is but a passing comfort, and lo! the Hereafter, that is the enduring home.


tafseer:
Whoso doeth an ill-deed, he will be repaid the like thereof, while whoso doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, (all) such will enter the Garden, where they will be nourished without stint.


tafseer:
Ye call me to disbelieve in Allah and ascribe unto Him as partners that whereof I have no knowledge, while I call you unto the Mighty, the Forgiver.


tafseer:
Assuredly that whereunto ye call me hath no claim in the world or in the Hereafter, and our return will be unto Allah, and the prodigals will be owners of the Fire.


tafseer:
And ye will remember what I say unto you. I confide my cause unto Allah. Lo! Allah is Seer of (His) slaves.


tafseer:
So Allah warded off from him the evils which they plotted, while a dreadful doom encompassed Pharaoh´s folk,


tafseer:
And when they wrangle in the Fire, the weak say unto those who were proud: Lo! we were a following unto you


tafseer:
Those who were proud say: Lo! we are all (together) herein. Lo! Allah hath judged between (His) slaves.


tafseer:
And those in the Fire say unto the guards of hell: Entreat your Lord that He relieve us of a day of the torment.


tafseer:
They say: Came not your messengers unto you with clear proofs? They say: Yea, verily. They say: Then do ye pray, although the prayer of disbelievers is in vain.


tafseer:
Lo! We verily do help Our messengers, and those who believe, in the life of the world and on the day when the witnesses arise,


tafseer:
The day when their excuse availeth not the evil-doers, and theirs is the curse, and theirs the ill abode.


tafseer:
And We verily gave Moses the guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture,


tafseer:
Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true. And ask forgiveness of thy sin, and hymn the praise of thy Lord at fall of night and in the early hours.


tafseer:
Lo! those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without a warrant having come unto them, there is naught else in their breasts save pride which they will never attain. So take thou refuge in Allah. Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.


tafseer:
And the blind man and the seer are not equal, neither are those who believe and do good works (equal with) the evil-doer. Little do ye reflect!


tafseer:
And your Lord hath said: Pray unto Me and I will hear your prayer. Lo! those who scorn My service, they will enter hell, disgraced.


tafseer:
Allah it is Who hath appointed for you night that ye may rest therein, and day for seeing. Lo! Allah is a Lord of bounty for mankind, yet most of mankind give not thanks.


tafseer:
Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, There is no Allah save Him. How then are ye perverted?


tafseer:
Allah it is Who appointed for you the earth for a dwelling-place and the sky for a canopy, and fashioned you and perfected your shapes, and hath provided you with good things. Such is Allah, your Lord. Then blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!


tafseer:
He is the Living One. There is no Allah save Him. So pray unto Him, making religion pure for Him (only). Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): I am forbidden to worship those unto whom ye cry beside Allah since there have come unto me clear proofs from my Lord, and I am commanded to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds.


tafseer:
He it is Who created you from dust, then from a drop (of seed) then from a clot, then bringeth you forth as a child, then (ordaineth) that ye attain full strength and afterward that ye become old men - though some among you die before - and that ye reach an appointed term, that haply ye may understand.


tafseer:
He it is Who quickeneth and giveth death. When He ordaineth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah, how they are turned away? -


tafseer:
(And it is said unto them): This is because ye exulted in the earth without right, and because ye were petulant.


tafseer:
Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true. And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them, or (whether) We cause thee to die, still unto Us they will be brought back.


tafseer:
Verily We sent messengers before thee, among them those of whom We have told thee, and some of whom We have not told thee


tafseer:
(Many) benefits ye have from them - and that ye may satisfy by their means a need that is in your breasts, and may be borne upon them as upon the ship.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those before them? They were more numerous than these, and mightier in power and (in the) traces (which they left behind them) in the earth. But all that they used to earn availed them not.


tafseer:
And when their messengers brought them clear proofs (of Allah´s Sovereignty) they exulted in the knowledge they (themselves) possessed. And that which they were wont to mock befell them.


tafseer:
Then, when they saw Our doom, they said: We believe in Allah only and reject (all) that we used to associate (with Him).


tafseer:
But their faith could not avail them when they saw Our doom. This is Allah´s law which hath ever taken course for His bondmen. And then the disbelievers will be ruined.


tafseer:
And they say: Our hearts are protected from that unto which thou (O Muhammad) callest us, and in our ears there is a deafness, and between us and thee there is a veil. Act, then. Lo! we also shall be acting.


tafseer:
Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah, therefor take the straight path unto Him and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters,


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad, unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in Him Who created the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He (and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds.


tafseer:
He placed therein firm hills rising above it, and blessed it and measured therein its sustenance in four Days, alike for (all) who ask


tafseer:
Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient.


tafseer:
But if they turn away, then say: I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (which fell of old upon the tribes) of A´ad and Thamud


tafseer:
When their messengers came unto them from before them and behind them, saying: Worship none but Allah! they said: If our Lord had willed, He surely would have sent down angels (unto us), so lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent.


tafseer:
As for A´ad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said: Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah Who created them, He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our revelations.


tafseer:
Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days, that We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world. And verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful, and they will not be helped.


tafseer:
And as for Thamud, We gave them guidance, but they preferred blindness to the guidance, so the bolt of the doom of humiliation overtook them because of what they used to earn.


tafseer:
And (make mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are gathered unto the Fire, they are driven on


tafseer:
Till, when they reach it, their ears and their eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they used to do.


tafseer:
And they say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us? They say: Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things, and Who created you at the first, and unto Whom ye are returned.


tafseer:
Ye did not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you, but ye deemed that Allah knew not much of what ye did.


tafseer:
And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.


tafseer:
But verily We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste an awful doom, and verily We shall requite them the worst of what they used to do.


tafseer:
That is the reward of Allah´s enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! Show us those who beguiled us of the jinn and humankind. We will place them underneath our feet that they may be among the nethermost.


tafseer:
Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the paradise which ye are promised.


tafseer:
We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye will have (all) for which ye pray.


tafseer:
And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto Him).


tafseer:
The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.


tafseer:
But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.


tafseer:
And if a whisper from the devil reach thee (O Muhammad) then seek refuge in Allah. Lo! He is the Hearer, the Knower.


tafseer:
And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon


tafseer:
But if they are too proud - still those who are with thy Lord glorify Him night and day, and tire not.


tafseer:
And of His portents (is this): that thou seest the earth lowly, but when We send down water thereon it thrilleth and groweth. Lo! He Who quickeneth it is verily the Quickener of the Dead. Lo! He is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
Lo! those who distort Our revelations are not hid from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who cometh secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what ye will. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.


tafseer:
Lo! those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it cometh unto them (are guilty), for lo! it is an unassailable Scripture.


tafseer:
Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it. (It is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise.


tafseer:
Naught is said unto thee (Muhammad) save what was said unto the messengers before thee. Lo! thy Lord is owner of forgiveness, and owner (also) of dire punishment.


tafseer:
And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad): For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing


tafseer:
Whoso doeth right it is for his soul, and whoso doeth wrong it is against it. And thy Lord is not at all a tyrant to His slaves.


tafseer:
Unto Him is referred (all) knowledge of the Hour. And no fruits burst forth from their sheaths, and no female carrieth or bringeth forth but with His knowledge. And on the day when He calleth unto them: Where are now My partners? they will say: We confess unto Thee, not one of us is a witness (for them).


tafseer:
And those to whom they used to cry of old have failed them, and they perceive they have no place of refuge.


tafseer:
And verily, if We cause him to taste mercy after some hurt that hath touched him, he will say: This is my own


tafseer:
When We show favour unto man, he withdraweth and turneth aside, but when ill toucheth him then he aboundeth in prayer.


tafseer:
Bethink you: If it is from Allah and ye reject it - Who is further astray than one who is at open feud (with Allah)?


tafseer:
We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?


tafseer:
How! Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? Lo! Is not He surrounding all things?


tafseer:
Unto Him belongeth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.


tafseer:
Almost might the heavens above be rent asunder while the angels hymn the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on the earth. Lo! Allah, He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.


tafseer:
And as for those who choose protecting friends beside Him, Allah is Warden over them, and thou art in no wise a guardian over them.


tafseer:
And thus We have inspired in thee a Lecture in Arabic, that thou mayst warn the mother-town and those around it, and mayst warn of a day of assembling whereof there is no doubt. A host will be in the Garden, and a host of them in the Flame.


tafseer:
Had Allah willed, He could have made them one community, but Allah bringeth whom He will into His mercy. And the wrong-doers have no friend nor helper.


tafseer:
Or have they chosen protecting friends besides Him? But Allah, He (alone) is the Protecting Friend. He quickeneth the dead, and He is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
And in whatsoever ye differ, the verdict therein belongeth to Allah. Such is my Lord, in Whom I put my trust, and unto Whom I turn.


tafseer:
The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He hath made for you pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby He multiplieth you. Naught is as His likeness


tafseer:
His are the keys of the heavens and the earth. He enlargeth providence for whom He will and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! He is Knower of all things.


tafseer:
He hath ordained for you that religion which He commended unto Noah, and that which We inspire in thee (Muhammad), and that which We commended unto Abraham and Moses and Jesus, saying: Establish the religion, and be not divided therein. Dreadful for the idolaters is that unto which thou callest them. Allah chooseth for Himself whom He will, and guideth unto Himself him who turneth (toward Him).


tafseer:
And they were not divided until after the knowledge came unto them, through rivalry among themselves


tafseer:
Unto this, then, summon (O Muhammad). And be thou upright as thou art commanded, and follow not their lusts, but say: I believe in whatever scripture Allah hath sent down, and I am commanded to be just among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. Unto us our works and unto you your works


tafseer:
And those who argue concerning Allah after He hath been acknowledged, their argument hath no weight with their Lord, and wrath is upon them and theirs will be an awful doom.


tafseer:
Allah it is Who hath revealed the Scripture with truth, and the Balance. How canst thou know? It may be that the Hour is nigh.


tafseer:
Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, while those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the Truth. Are not they who dispute, in doubt concerning the Hour, far astray?


tafseer:
Whoso desireth the harvest of the Hereafter, We give him increase in its harvest. And whoso desireth the harvest of the world, We give him thereof, and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.


tafseer:
Or have they partners (of Allah) who have made lawful for them in religion that which Allah allowed not? And but for a decisive word (gone forth already), it would have been judged between them. Lo! for wrong-doers is a painful doom.


tafseer:
Thou seest the wrong-doers fearful of that which they have earned, and it will surely befall them, while those who believe and do good works (will be) in flowering meadows of the Gardens, having what they wish from their Lord. This is the great preferment.


tafseer:
This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe and do good works. Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee therefor, save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Responsive.


tafseer:
Or say they: He hath invented a lie concerning Allah? If Allah willed, He could have sealed thy heart (against them). And Allah will wipe out the lie and will vindicate the truth by His words. Lo! He is Aware of what is hidden in the breasts (of men).


tafseer:
And He it is Who accepteth repentance from His bondmen, and pardoneth the evil deeds, and knoweth what ye do,


tafseer:
And accepteth those who do good works, and giveth increase unto them of His bounty. And as for disbelievers, theirs will be an awful doom.


tafseer:
And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves they would surely rebel in the earth, but He sendeth down by measure as He willeth. Lo! He is Informed, a Seer of His bondmen.


tafseer:
And He it is Who sendeth down the saving rain after they have despaired, and spreadeth out His mercy. He is the Protecting Friend, the Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
And of His portents is the creation of the heaven and the earth, and of whatever beasts He hath dispersed therein. And He is Able to gather them when He will.


tafseer:
Whatever of misfortune striketh you, it is what your right hands have earned. And He forgiveth much.


tafseer:
If He will He calmeth the wind so that they keep still upon its surface - Lo! herein verily are signs for every steadfast grateful (heart). -


tafseer:
Now whatever ye have been given is but a passing comfort for the life of the world, and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord,


tafseer:
And those who answer the call of their Lord and establish worship, and whose affairs are a matter of counsel, and who spend of what We have bestowed on them,


tafseer:
The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers.


tafseer:
And whoso defendeth himself after he hath suffered wrong - for such, there is no way (of blame) against them.


tafseer:
The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress mankind, and wrongfully rebel in the earth. For such there is a painful doom.


tafseer:
And verily whoso is patient and forgiveth - lo! that, verily, is (of) the steadfast heart of things.


tafseer:
He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no protecting friend after Him. And thou (Muhammad) wilt see the evil-doers when they see the doom, (how) they say: Is there any way of return?


tafseer:
And thou wilt see them exposed to (the Fire), made humble by disgrace, and looking with veiled eyes. And those who believe will say: Lo! the (eternal) losers are they who lose themselves and their housefolk on the Day of Resurrection. Lo! are not the wrong-doers in perpetual torment?


tafseer:
And they will have no protecting friends to help them instead of Allah. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no road.


tafseer:
Answer the call of your Lord before there cometh unto you from Allah a Day which there is no averting. Ye have no refuge on that Day, nor have a ye any (power of) refusal.


tafseer:
But if they are averse, We have not sent thee as a warder over them. Thine is only to convey (the message). And lo! when We cause man to taste of mercy from Us he exulteth therefor. And if some evil striketh them because of that which their own hands have sent before, then lo! man is an ingrate.


tafseer:
Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He createth what He will. He bestoweth female (offspring) upon whom He will, and bestoweth male (offspring) upon whom He will


tafseer:
Or He mingleth them, males and females, and He maketh barren whom He will. Lo! He is Knower, Powerful.


tafseer:
And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.


tafseer:
And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,


tafseer:
The path of Allah, unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Do not all things reach Allah at last?


tafseer:
And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer: The Mighty, the Knower created them


tafseer:
Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and placed roads for you therein, that haply ye may find your way


tafseer:
And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth


tafseer:
That ye may mount upon their backs, and may remember your Lord´s favour when ye mount thereon, and may say: Glorified be He Who hath subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them)


tafseer:
And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the Beneficent One, his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward rage.


tafseer:
(Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and in dispute cannot make itself plain?


tafseer:
And they make the angels, who are the slaves of the Beneficent, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned.


tafseer:
And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do but guess.


tafseer:
Nay, for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are guided by their footprints.


tafseer:
And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints.


tafseer:
(And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better guidance than that ye found your fathers following? They answered: Lo! in what ye bring we are disbelievers.


tafseer:
Nay, but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till there should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.


tafseer:
And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.


tafseer:
Is it they who apportion thy Lord´s mercy? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others


tafseer:
And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount,


tafseer:
And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil.


tafseer:
And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade


tafseer:
Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons - an evil comrade!


tafseer:
Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest?


tafseer:
And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent?


tafseer:
And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.


tafseer:
And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again.


tafseer:
And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.


tafseer:
And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me? Can ye not then discern?


tafseer:
Thus he persuaded his people to make light (of Moses), and they obeyed him. Lo! they were a wanton folk.


tafseer:
And say: Are our gods better, or is he? They raise not the objection save for argument. Nay! but they are a contentious folk.


tafseer:
He is nothing but a slave on whom We bestowed favour, and We made him a pattern for the Children of Israel.


tafseer:
And lo! verily there is knowledge of the Hour. So doubt ye not concerning it, but follow Me. This is the right path.


tafseer:
When Jesus came with clear proofs (of Allah´s Sovereignty), he said: I have come unto you with wisdom, and to make plain some of that concerning which ye differ. So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.


tafseer:
But the factions among them differed. Then woe unto those who do wrong from the doom of a painful day.


tafseer:
Therein are brought round for them trays of gold and goblets, and therein is all that souls desire and eyes find sweet. And ye are immortal therein.


tafseer:
Or deem they that We cannot hear their secret thoughts and private confidences? Nay, but Our envoys, present with them, do record.


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): If the Beneficent One hath a son, then, I shall be first among the worshippers. (But there is no son).


tafseer:
Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, from that which they ascribe (unto Him)!


tafseer:
And blessed be He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and with Whom is knowledge of the Hour, and unto Whom ye will be returned.


tafseer:
And those unto whom they cry instead of Him possess no power of intercession, saving him who beareth witness unto the Truth knowingly.


tafseer:
How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,


tafseer:
Are they better, or the folk of Tubb´a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.


tafseer:
And in your creation, and all the beasts that He scattereth in the earth, are portents for a folk whose faith is sure.


tafseer:
And the difference of night and day and the provision that Allah sendeth down from the sky and thereby quickeneth the earth after her death, and the ordering of the winds, are portents for a people who have sense.


tafseer:
These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee (Muhammad) with truth. Then in what fact, after Allah and His portents, will they believe?


tafseer:
Who heareth the revelations of Allah recited unto him, and then continueth in pride as though he heard them not. Give him tidings of a painful doom.


tafseer:
And when he knoweth aught of Our revelations he maketh it a jest. For such there is a shameful doom.


tafseer:
Beyond them there is hell, and that which they have earned will naught avail them, nor those whom they have chosen for protecting friends beside Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.


tafseer:
This is guidance. And those who disbelieve the revelations of their Lord, for them there is a painful doom of wrath.


tafseer:
Allah it is Who hath made the sea of service unto you that the ships may run thereon by His command, and that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may be thankful


tafseer:
Whoso doeth right, it is for his soul, and whoso doeth wrong, it is against it. And afterward unto your Lord ye will be brought back.


tafseer:
And verily we gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and the Command and the Prophethood, and provided them with good things and favoured them above (all) peoples


tafseer:
And gave them plain commandments. And they differed not until after the knowledge came unto them, through rivalry among themselves. Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.


tafseer:
Lo! they can avail thee naught against Allah. And lo! as for the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others


tafseer:
Or do those who commit ill-deeds suppose that We shall make them as those who believe and do good works, the same in life and death? Bad is their judgment!


tafseer:
And Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth, and that every soul may be repaid what it hath earned. And they will not be wronged.


tafseer:
Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah sendeth him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (hath condemned him)? Will ye not then heed?


tafseer:
And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers. then, if ye are truthful.


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah giveth life to you, then causeth you to die, then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.


tafseer:
And thou wilt see each nation crouching, each nation summoned to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited what ye used to do.


tafseer:
This Our Book pronounceth against you with truth. Lo! We have caused (all) that ye did to be recorded.


tafseer:
Then, as for those who believed and did good works, their Lord will bring them in unto His mercy. That is the evident triumph.


tafseer:
And as for those who disbelieved (it will be said unto them): Were not Our revelations recited unto you? But ye were scornful and became a guilty folk.


tafseer:
And when it was said: Lo! Allah´s promise is the truth, and there is no doubt of the Hour´s coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour is. We deem it naught but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced.


tafseer:
And the evils of what they did will appear unto them, and that which they used to deride will befall them.


tafseer:
This, forasmuch as ye made the revelations of Allah a jest, and the life of the world beguiled you. Therefor this day they come not forth from thence, nor can they make amends.


tafseer:
And unto Him (alone) belongeth Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with truth, and for a term appointed. But those who disbelieve turn away from that whereof they are warned.


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Have ye thought on all that ye invoke beside Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth. Or have they any portion in the heavens? Bring me a scripture before this (Scripture), or some vestige of knowledge (in support of what ye say), if ye are truthful.


tafseer:
And who is further astray than those who, instead of Allah, pray unto such as hear not their prayer until the Day of Resurrection, and are unconscious of their prayer,


tafseer:
And when mankind are gathered (to the Judgment) will become enemies for them, and will become deniers of having been worshipped.


tafseer:
And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say of the Truth when it reacheth them: This is mere magic.


tafseer:
Or say they: He hath invented it? Say (O Muhammad): If I have invented it, still ye have no power to support me against Allah. He is Best Aware of what ye say among yourselves concerning it. He sufficeth for a witness between me and you. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.


tafseer:
Say: I am no new thing among the messengers (of Allah), nor know I what will be done with me or with you. I do but follow that which is inspired in me, and I am but a plain warner.


tafseer:
Bethink you: If it is from Allah and ye disbelieve therein, and a witness of the Children of Israel hath already testified to the like thereof and hath believed, and ye are too proud (what plight is yours)? Lo! Allah guideth not wrong-doing folk.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say of those who believe: If it had been (any) good, they would not have been before us in attaining it. And since they will not be guided by it, they say: This is an ancient lie


tafseer:
Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and thereafter walk aright, there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.


tafseer:
And We have commended unto man kindness toward parents. His mother beareth him with reluctance, and bringeth him forth with reluctance, and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months, till, when he attaineth full strength and reacheth forty years, he saith: My Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and that I may do right acceptable unto Thee. And be gracious unto me in the matter of my seed. Lo! I have turned unto Thee repentant, and lo! I am of those who surrender (unto Thee).


tafseer:
Those are they from whom We accept the best of what they do, and overlook their evil deeds. (They are) among the owners of the Garden. This is the true promise which they were promised (in the world).


tafseer:
And whoso saith unto his parents: Fie upon you both! Do ye threaten me that I shall be brought forth (again) when generations before me have passed away? And they twain cry unto Allah for help (and say): Woe unto thee! Believe! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. But he saith: This is naught save fables of the men of old:


tafseer:
Such are those on whom the Word concerning nations of the jinn and mankind which have passed away before them hath effect. Lo! they are the losers.


tafseer:
And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (it will be said): Ye squandered your good things in the life of the world and sought comfort therein. Now this day ye are rewarded with the doom of ignominy because ye were disdainful in the land without a right, and because ye used to transgress.


tafseer:
And make mention (O Muhammad) of the brother of A´ad when he warned his folk among the wind-curved sandhills - and verily warners came and went before and after him - saying: Serve none but Allah. Lo! I fear for you the doom of a tremendous Day.


tafseer:
They said: Hast come to turn us away from our gods? Then bring upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us, if thou art of the truthful.


tafseer:
He said: The knowledge is with Allah only. I convey unto you that wherewith I have been sent, but I see you are a folk that know not.


tafseer:
Then, when they beheld it as a dense cloud coming toward their valleys, they said: Here is a cloud bringing us rain. Nay, but it is that which ye did seek to hasten, a wind wherein is painful torment,


tafseer:
Destroying all things by commandment of its Lord. And morning found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings. Thus do We reward the guilty folk.


tafseer:
And verily We had empowered them with that wherewith We have not empowered you, and had assigned them ears and eyes and hearts


tafseer:
And verily We have destroyed townships round about you, and displayed (for them) Our revelation, that haply they might return.


tafseer:
Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a way of approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly. And (all) that was their lie, and what they used to invent.


tafseer:
And when We inclined toward thee (Muhammad) certain of the jinn, who wished to hear the Qur´an and, when they were in its presence, said: Give ear! and, when it was finished, turned back to their people, warning.


tafseer:
They said: O our people! Lo! we have heard a scripture which hath been revealed after Moses, confirming that which was before it, guiding unto the truth and a right road.


tafseer:
O our people! respond to Allah´s summoner and believe in Him. He will forgive you some of your sins and guard you from a painful doom.


tafseer:
And whoso respondeth not to Allah´s summoner he can nowise escape in the earth, and he hath no protecting friends instead of Him. Such are in error manifest.


tafseer:
Have they not seen that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Aye, He verily is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (they will be asked): Is not this real? They will say: Yea, by our Lord. He will say: Then taste the doom for that ye disbelieved.


tafseer:
Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart among the messengers (of old) had patience, and seek not to hasten on (the doom) for them. On the day when they see that which they are promised (it will seem to them) as though they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A clear message. Shall any be destroyed save evil-living folk?


tafseer:
And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state.


tafseer:
That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind.


tafseer:
Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds


tafseer:
That is because they are averse to that which Allah hath revealed, therefor maketh He their actions fruitless.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? Allah wiped them out. And for the disbelievers there will be the like thereof.


tafseer:
Lo! Allah will cause those who believe and do good works to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow


tafseer:
And how many a township stronger than thy township (O Muhammad) which hath cast thee out, have We destroyed, and they had no helper!


tafseer:
Is he who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified while they follow their own lusts?


tafseer:
A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey


tafseer:
Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.


tafseer:
While as for those who walk aright, He addeth to their guidance, and giveth them their protection (against evil).


tafseer:
Await they aught save the Hour, that it should come upon them unawares? And the beginnings thereof have already come. But how, when it hath come upon them, can they take their warning?


tafseer:
So know (O Muhammad) that there is no Allah save Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy sin and for believing men and believing women. Allah knoweth (both) your place of turmoil and your place of rest.


tafseer:
And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!


tafseer:
Obedience and a civil word. Then, when the matter is determined, if they are loyal to Allah it will be well for them.


tafseer:
Would ye then, if ye were given the command, work corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship?


tafseer:
Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, Satan hath seduced them, and He giveth them the rein.


tafseer:
That is because they say unto those who hate what Allah hath revealed: We will obey you in some matters


tafseer:
That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah, and hated that which pleaseth Him. Therefor He hath made their actions vain.


tafseer:
Or do those in whose hearts is a disease deem that Allah will not bring to light their (secret) hates?


tafseer:
And if We would, We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds.


tafseer:
And verily We shall try you till We know those of you who strive hard (for the cause of Allah) and the steadfast, and till We test your record.


tafseer:
Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless.


tafseer:
Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and then die disbelievers, Allah surely will not pardon them.


tafseer:
So do not falter and cry out for peace when ye (will be) the uppermost, and Allah is with you, and He will not grudge (the reward of) your actions.


tafseer:
The life of the world is but a sport and a pastime. And if ye believe and ward off (evil). He will give you your wages, and will not ask of you your wordly wealth.


tafseer:
If He should ask it of you and importune you, ye would hoard it, and He would bring to light your (secret) hates.


tafseer:
Lo! ye are those who are called to spend in the way of Allah, yet among you there are some who hoard. And as for him who hoardeth, he hoardeth only from his soul. And Allah is the Rich, and ye are the poor. And if ye turn away He will exchange you for some other folk, and they will not be the likes of you.


tafseer:
That Allah may forgive thee of thy sin that which is past and that which is to come, and may perfect His favour unto thee, and may guide thee on a right path,


tafseer:
He it is Who sent down peace of reassurance into the hearts of the believers that they might add faith unto their faith. Allah´s are the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is ever Knower, Wise -


tafseer:
That He may bring the believing men and the believing women into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide, and may remit from them their evil deeds - That, in the sight of Allah, is the supreme triumph -


tafseer:
And may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the idolatrous men and the idolatrous women, who think an evil thought concerning Allah. For them is the evil turn of fortune, and Allah is wroth against them and hath cursed them, and hath made ready for them hell, a hapless journey´s end.


tafseer:
That ye (mankind) may believe in Allah and His messenger, and may honour Him, and may revere Him, and may glorify Him at early dawn and at the close of day.


tafseer:
Lo! those who swear allegiance unto thee (Muhammad), swear allegiance only unto Allah. The Hand of Allah is above their hands. So whosoever breaketh his oath, breaketh it only to his soul´s hurt


tafseer:
Those of the wandering Arabs who were left behind will tell thee: Our possessions and our households occupied us, so ask forgiveness for us! They speak with their tongues that which is not in their hearts. Say: Who can avail you aught against Allah, if He intend you hurt or intend you profit? Nay, but Allah is ever Aware of what ye do.


tafseer:
Nay, but ye deemed that the messenger and the believers would never return to their own folk, and that was made fairseeming in your hearts, and ye did think an evil thought, and ye were worthless folk.


tafseer:
And so for him who believeth not in Allah and His messenger - Lo! We have prepared a flame for disbelievers.


tafseer:
And Allah´s is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He forgiveth whom He will, and punisheth whom He will. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Those who were left behind will say, when ye set forth to capture booty: Let us go with you. They fain would change the verdict of Allah. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye shall not go with us. Thus hath Allah said beforehand. Then they will say: Ye are envious of us. Nay, but they understand not, save a little.


tafseer:
Say unto those of the wandering Arabs who were left behind: Ye will be called against a folk of mighty prowess, to fight them until they surrender


tafseer:
There is no blame for the blind, nor is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow


tafseer:
Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory


tafseer:
Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture, and hath given you this in advance, and hath withheld men´s hands from you, that it may be a token for the believers, and that He may guide you on a right path.


tafseer:
And other (gain), which ye have not been able to achieve, Allah will compass it, Allah is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will take to flight, and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor helper.


tafseer:
It is the law of Allah which hath taken course aforetime. Thou wilt not find for the law of Allah aught of power to change.


tafseer:
And He it is Who hath withheld men´s hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, in the valley of Mecca, after He had made you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do.


tafseer:
These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly


tafseer:
When those who disbelieve had set up in their hearts zealotry, the zealotry of the Age of Ignorance, then Allah sent down His peace of reassurance upon His messenger and upon the believers and imposed on them the word of self-restraint, for they were worthy of it and meet for it. And Allah is Aware of all things.


tafseer:
Allah hath fulfilled the vision for His messenger in very truth. Ye shall indeed enter the Inviolable Place of Worship, if Allah will, secure, (having your hair) shaven and cut, not fearing. But He knoweth that which ye know not, and hath given you a near victory beforehand.


tafseer:
He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion. And Allah sufficeth as a Witness.


tafseer:
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. Thou (O Muhammad) seest them bowing and falling prostrate (in worship), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) acceptance. The mark of them is on their foreheads from the traces of prostration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel - like as sown corn that sendeth forth its shoot and strengtheneth it and riseth firm upon its stalk, delighting the sowers - that He may enrage the disbelievers with (the sight of) them. Allah hath promised, unto such of them as believe and do good works, forgiveness and immense reward.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and His messenger, and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout when speaking to him as ye shout one to another, lest your works be rendered vain while ye perceive not.


tafseer:
Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the messenger of Allah, those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.


tafseer:
And if they had had patience till thou camest forth unto them, it had been better for them. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! If an evil-liver bring you tidings, verify it, lest ye smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what ye did.


tafseer:
And know that the messenger of Allah is among you. If he were to obey you in much of the government, ye would surely be in trouble


tafseer:
And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah


tafseer:
The believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that haply ye may obtain mercy.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better than they are


tafseer:
O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.


tafseer:
The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say &quot


tafseer:
The (true) believers are those only who believe in Allah and His messenger and afterward doubt not, but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah. Such are the sincere.


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Would ye teach Allah your religion, when Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and Allah is Aware of all things?


tafseer:
They make it a favour unto thee (Muhammad) that they have surrendered (unto Him). Say: Deem not your Surrender a favour unto me


tafseer:
Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein?


tafseer:
And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon,


tafseer:
And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops,


tafseer:
The folk of Noah denied (the truth) before them, and (so did) the dwellers at Ar-Rass and (the tribe of) Thamud,


tafseer:
And the dwellers in the wood, and the folk of Tubb´a: every one denied their messengers, therefor My threat took effect.


tafseer:
We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.


tafseer:
And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun.


tafseer:
(And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day.


tafseer:
And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came)?


tafseer:
And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us.


tafseer:
Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun


tafseer:
The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth (from the graves).


tafseer:
On the day when the earth splitteth asunder from them, hastening forth (they come). That is a gathering easy for Us (to make).


tafseer:
We are Best Aware of what they say, and thou (O Muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur´an him who feareth My threat.


tafseer:
(And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.


tafseer:
When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).


tafseer:
Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.


tafseer:
But they rebelled against their Lord´s decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed


tafseer:
And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old)


tafseer:
Endure the heat thereof, and whether ye are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do.


tafseer:
Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire.


tafseer:
And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of nought of their (life´s) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned.


tafseer:
Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest!


tafseer:
Or have they any god beside Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!


tafseer:
They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them.


tafseer:
And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth.


tafseer:
And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.


tafseer:
Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.


tafseer:
Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right.


tafseer:
And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness.


tafseer:
Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil).


tafseer:
And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed.


tafseer:
Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold.


tafseer:
Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night,


tafseer:
They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings!


tafseer:
Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.


tafseer:
Nay, but the Hour (of doom) is their appointed tryst, and the Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure).


tafseer:
On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces (it is said unto them): Feel the touch of hell.


tafseer:
O company of jinn and men, if ye have power to penetrate (all) regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate (them)! Ye will never penetrate them save with (Our) sanction.


tafseer:
And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,


tafseer:
He causeth the night to pass into the day, and He causeth the day to pass into the night, and He is knower of all that is in the breasts.


tafseer:
What aileth you that ye believe not in Allah, when the messenger calleth you to believe in your Lord, and He hath already made a covenant with you, if ye are believers?


tafseer:
He it is Who sendeth down clear revelations unto His slave, that He may bring you forth from darkness unto light


tafseer:
And what aileth you that ye spend not in the way of Allah when unto Allah belongeth the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Those who spent and fought before the victory are not upon a level (with the rest of you). Such are greater in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. Unto each hath Allah promised good. And Allah is Informed of what ye do.


tafseer:
Who is he that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan, that He may double it for him and his may be a rich reward?


tafseer:
On the day when thou (Muhammad) wilt see the believers, men and women, their light shining forth before them and on their right hands, (and wilt hear it said unto them): Glad news for you this day: Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein ye are immortal. That is the supreme triumph.


tafseer:
On the day when the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women will say unto those who believe: Look on us that we may borrow from your light! it will be said: Go back and seek for light! Then there will separate them a wall wherein is a gate, the inner side whereof containeth mercy, while the outer side thereof is toward the doom.


tafseer:
Is not the time ripe for the hearts of those who believe to submit to Allah´s reminder and to the truth which is revealed, that they become not as those who received the scripture of old but the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened, and many of them are evil-livers.


tafseer:
Know that Allah quickeneth the earth after its death. We have made clear Our revelations for you, that haply ye may understand.


tafseer:
Lo! those who give alms, both men and women, and lend unto Allah a goodly loan, it will be doubled for them, and theirs will be a rich reward.


tafseer:
And those who believe in Allah and His messengers, they are the loyal, and the martyrs are with their Lord


tafseer:
Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children


tafseer:
Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whereof the breadth is as the breadth of the heavens and the earth, which is in store for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. Such is the bounty of Allah, which He bestoweth upon whom He will, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.


tafseer:
Naught of disaster befalleth in the earth or in yourselves but it is in a Book before we bring it into being - Lo! that is easy for Allah -


tafseer:
That ye grieve not for the sake of that which hath escaped you, nor yet exult because of that which hath been given. Allah loveth not all prideful boasters,


tafseer:
Who hoard and who enjoin upon the people avarice. And whosoever turneth away, still Allah is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise.


tafseer:
We verily sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scripture and the Balance, that mankind may observe right measure


tafseer:
And We verily sent Noah and Abraham and placed the prophethood and the scripture among their seed, and among them there is he who goeth right, but many of them are evil-livers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Be mindful of your duty to Allah and put faith in His messenger. He will give you twofold of His mercy and will appoint for you a light wherein ye shall walk, and will forgive you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful


tafseer:
That the People of the Scripture may know that they control naught of the bounty of Allah, but that the bounty is in Allah´s hand to give to whom He will. And Allah is of Infinite Bounty.


tafseer:
Allah hath heard the saying of her that disputeth with thee (Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complaineth unto Allah. And Allah heareth your colloquy. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.


tafseer:
Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers) - They are not their mothers


tafseer:
Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted


tafseer:
And he who findeth not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another


tafseer:
On the day when Allah will raise them all together and inform them of what they did. Allah hath kept account of it while they forgot it. And Allah is Witness over all things.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be


tafseer:
Hast thou not observed those who were forbidden conspiracy and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden, and (now) conspire together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger? And when they come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee not, and say within themselves: Why should Allah punish us for what we say? Hell will suffice them


tafseer:
O ye who believe! When ye conspire together, conspire not together for crime and wrongdoing and disobedience toward the messenger, but conspire together for righteousness and piety, and keep your duty toward Allah, unto whom ye will be gathered.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! When ye hold conference with the messenger, offer an alms before your conference. That is better and purer for you. But if ye cannot find (the wherewithal) then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do.


tafseer:
Hast thou not seen those who take for friends a folk with whom Allah is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear a false oath knowingly.


tafseer:
Their wealth and their children will avail them naught against Allah. Such are rightful owners of the Fire


tafseer:
On the day when Allah will raise them all together, then will they swear unto Him as they (now) swear unto you, and they will fancy that they have some standing. Lo! is it not they who are the liars?


tafseer:
The devil hath engrossed them and so hath caused them to forget remembrance of Allah. They are the devil´s party. Lo! is it not the devil´s party who will be the losers?


tafseer:
Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah´s party. Lo! is it not Allah´s party who are the successful?


tafseer:
All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
He it is Who hath caused those of the People of the Scripture who disbelieved to go forth from their homes unto the first exile. Ye deemed not that they would go forth, while they deemed that their strongholds would protect them from Allah. But Allah reached them from a place whereof they recked not, and cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson, O ye who have eyes!


tafseer:
And if Allah had not decreed migration for them, He verily would have punished them in the world, and theirs in the Hereafter is the punishment of the Fire.


tafseer:
Whatsoever palm-trees ye cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by Allah´s leave, in order that He might confound the evil-livers.


tafseer:
And that which Allah gave as spoil unto His messenger from them, ye urged not any horse or riding-camel for the sake thereof, but Allah giveth His messenger lordship over whom He will. Allah is Able to do all things.


tafseer:
That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.


tafseer:
And (it is) for the poor fugitives who have been driven out from their homes and their belongings, who seek bounty from Allah and help Allah and His messenger. They are the loyal.


tafseer:
Those who entered the city and the faith before them love those who flee unto them for refuge, and find in their breasts no need for that which hath been given them, but prefer (the fugitives) above themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoso is saved from his own avarice - such are they who are successful.


tafseer:
And those who came (into the faith) after them say: Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who were before us in the faith, and place not in our hearts any rancour toward those who believe. Our Lord! Thou art Full of Pity, Merciful.


tafseer:
Hast thou not observed those who are hypocrites, (how) they tell their brethren who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture: If ye are driven out, we surely will go out with you, and we will never obey anyone against you, and if ye are attacked we verily will help you. And Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.


tafseer:
(For) indeed if they are driven out they go not out with them, and indeed if they are attacked they help them not, and indeed if they had helped them they would have turned and fled, and then they would not have been victorious.


tafseer:
Ye are more awful as a fear in their bosoms than Allah. That is because they are a folk who understand not.


tafseer:
They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified villages or from behind walls. Their adversity among themselves is very great. Ye think of them as a whole whereas their hearts are divers. That is because they are a folk who have no sense.


tafseer:
On the likeness of those (who suffered) a short time before them, they taste the ill-effects of their own conduct, and theirs is painful punishment.


tafseer:
(And the hypocrites are) on the likeness of the devil when he telleth man to disbelieve, then, when he disbelieveth saith: Lo! I am quit of thee. Lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.


tafseer:
And the consequence for both will be that they are in the Fire, therein abiding. Such is the reward of evil-doers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah. And let every soul look to that which it sendeth on before for the morrow. And observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.


tafseer:
And be not ye as those who forgot Allah, therefor He caused them to forget their souls. Such are the evil-doers.


tafseer:
Not equal are the owners of the Fire and the owners of the Garden. The owners of the Garden, they are the victorious.


tafseer:
If We had caused this Qur´an to descend upon a mountain, thou (O Muhammad) verily hadst seen it humbled, rent asunder by the fear of Allah. Such similitudes coin We for mankind that haply they may reflect.


tafseer:
He is Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah, the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible. He is the Beneficent, Merciful.


tafseer:
He is Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the Keeper of Faith, the Guardian, the Majestic, the Compeller, the Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him).


tafseer:
He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper out of naught, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifieth Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Choose not My enemy and your enemy for allies. Do ye give them friendship when they disbelieve in that truth which hath come unto you, driving out the messenger and you because ye believe in Allah, your Lord? If ye have come forth to strive in My way and seeking My good pleasure, (show them not friendship). Do ye show friendship unto them in secret, when I am Best Aware of what ye hide and what ye proclaim? And whosoever doeth it among you, he verily hath strayed from the right way.


tafseer:
If they have the upper hand of you, they will be your foes, and will stretch out their hands and their tongues toward you with evil (intent), and they long for you to disbelieve.


tafseer:
Your ties of kindred and your children will avail you naught upon the Day of Resurrection. He will part you. Allah is Seer of what ye do.


tafseer:
There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with him, when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only - save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the journeying.


tafseer:
Our Lord! Make us not a prey for those who disbelieve, and forgive us, our Lord! Lo! Thou, only Thou, are the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
Verily ye have in them a goodly pattern for everyone who looketh to Allah and the Last Day. And whosoever may turn away, lo! still Allah, He is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise.


tafseer:
It may be that Allah will ordain love between you and those of them with whom ye are at enmity. Allah is Mighty, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred not against you on account of religion and drove you not out from your homes, that ye should show them kindness and deal justly with them. Lo! Allah loveth the just dealers.


tafseer:
Allah forbiddeth you only those who warred against you on account of religion and have driven you out from your homes and helped to drive you out, that ye make friends of them. Whosoever maketh friends of them - (All) such are wrong-doers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! When believing women come unto you as fugitives, examine them. Allah is Best Aware of their faith. Then, if ye know them for true believers, send them not back unto the disbelievers. They are not lawful for them (the disbelievers), nor are they (the disbelievers) lawful for them. And give them (the disbelievers) that which they have spent (upon them). And it is no sin for you to marry such women when ye have given them their dues. And hold not to the ties of disbelieving women


tafseer:
And if any of your wives have gone from you unto the disbelievers and afterward ye have your turn (of triumph), then give unto those whose wives have gone the like of that which they have spent, and keep your duty to Allah in Whom ye are believers.


tafseer:
O Prophet! If believing women come unto thee, taking oath of allegiance unto thee that they will ascribe no thing as partner unto Allah, and will neither steal nor commit adultery nor kill their children, nor produce any lie that they have devised between their hands and feet, nor disobey thee in what is right, then accept their allegiance and ask Allah to forgive them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Be not friendly with a folk with whom Allah is wroth, (a folk) who have despaired of the Hereafter as the disbelievers despair of those who are in the graves.


tafseer:
And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Why persecute ye me, when ye well know that I am Allah´s messenger unto you? So when they went astray Allah sent their hearts astray. And Allah guideth not the evil-living folk.


tafseer:
And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic.


tafseer:
And who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie against Allah when he is summoned unto Al-Islam? And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.


tafseer:
Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse.


tafseer:
He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however much idolaters may be averse.


tafseer:
Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know.


tafseer:
He will forgive you your sins and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph.


tafseer:
And (He will give you) another (blessing) which ye love: help from Allah and present victory. Give good tidings (O Muhammad) to believers.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Be Allah´s helpers, even as Jesus son of Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah? They said: We are Allah´s helpers. And a party of the Children of Israel believed, while a party disbelieved. Then We strengthened those who believed against their foe, and they became the uppermost.


tafseer:
All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
He it is Who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their own, to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow, and to teach them the Scripture and wisdom, though heretofore they were indeed in error manifest,


tafseer:
The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Wretched is the likeness of folk who deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful.


tafseer:
But they will never long for it because of all that their own hands have sent before, and Allah is Aware of evil-doers.


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! the death from which ye shrink will surely meet you, and afterward ye will be returned unto the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! When the call is heard for the prayer of the day of congregation, haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your trading. That is better for you if ye did but know.


tafseer:
And when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah´s bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful.


tafseer:
But when they spy some merchandise or pastime they break away to it and leave thee standing. Say: That which Allah hath is better than pastime and than merchandise, and Allah is the Best of providers.


tafseer:
When the hypocrites come unto thee (O Muhammad), they say: We bear witness that thou art indeed Allah´s messenger. And Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the hypocrites indeed are speaking falsely.


tafseer:
They make their faith a pretext so that they may turn (men) from the way of Allah. Verily evil is that which they are wont to do,


tafseer:
That is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed so that they understand not.


tafseer:
And when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you! they avert their faces and thou seest them turning away, disdainful.


tafseer:
They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah´s messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you)


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Let not your wealth nor your children distract you from remembrance of Allah. Those who do so, they are the losers.


tafseer:
And spend of that wherewith We have provided you before death cometh unto one of you and he saith: My Lord! If only thou wouldst reprieve me for a little while, then I would give alms and be among the righteous.


tafseer:
He it is Who created you, but one of you is a disbeliever and one of you is a believer, and Allah is Seer of what ye do.


tafseer:
He created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He shaped you and made good your shapes, and unto Him is the journeying.


tafseer:
He knoweth all that is in the heavens and the earth, and He knoweth what ye conceal and what ye publish. And Allah is Aware of what is in the breasts (of men).


tafseer:
Hath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of old and so did taste the ill-effects of their conduct, and theirs will be a painful doom.


tafseer:
That was because their messengers (from Allah) kept coming unto them with clear proofs (of Allah´s Sovereignty), but they said: Shall mere mortals guide us? So they disbelieved and turned away, and Allah was independent (of them). Allah is Absolute, Owner of Praise.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve assert that they will not be raised again. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Yea, verily, by my Lord! ye will be raised again and then ye will be informed of what ye did


tafseer:
So believe in Allah and His messenger and the light which We have revealed. And Allah is Informed of what ye do.


tafseer:
The day when He shall gather you unto the Day of Assembling, that will be a day of mutual disillusion. And whoso believeth in Allah and doeth right, He will remit from him his evil deeds and will bring him unto Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.


tafseer:
No calamity befalleth save by Allah´s leave. And whosoever believeth in Allah, He guideth his heart. And Allah is Knower of all things.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Lo! among your wives and your children there are enemies for you, therefor beware of them. And if ye efface and overlook and forgive, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
If ye lend unto Allah a goodly loan, He will double it for you and will forgive you, for Allah is Responsive, Clement,


tafseer:
O Prophet! When ye (men) put away women, put them away for their (legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to Allah, your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah


tafseer:
Then, when they have reached their term, take them back in kindness or part from them in kindness, and call to witness two just men among you, and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso believeth in Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for him,


tafseer:
And will provide for him from (a quarter) whence he hath no expectation. And whosoever putteth his trust in Allah, He will suffice him. Lo! Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah hath set a measure for all things.


tafseer:
And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him.


tafseer:
That is the commandment of Allah which He revealeth unto you. And whoso keepeth his duty to Allah, He will remit from him his evil deeds and magnify reward for him.


tafseer:
Lodge them where ye dwell, according to your wealth, and harass them not so as to straiten life for them. And if they are with child, then spend for them till they bring forth their burden. Then, if they give suck for you, give them their due payment and consult together in kindness


tafseer:
Let him who hath abundance spend of his abundance, and he whose provision is measured, let him spend of that which Allah hath given him. Allah asketh naught of any soul save that which He hath given it. Allah will vouchsafe, after hardship, ease.


tafseer:
And how many a community revolted against the ordinance of its Lord and His messengers, and We called it to a stern account and punished it with dire punishment,


tafseer:
A messenger reciting unto you the revelations of Allah made plain, that He may bring forth those who believe and do good works from darkness unto light. And whosoever believeth in Allah and doeth right, He will bring him into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to abide for ever. Allah hath made good provision for him.


tafseer:
Allah it is who hath created seven heavens, and of the earth the like thereof. The commandment cometh down among them slowly, that ye may know that Allah is Able to do all things, and that Allah surroundeth all things in knowledge.


tafseer:
O Prophet! Why bannest thou that which Allah hath made lawful for thee, seeking to please thy wives? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Allah hath made lawful for you (Muslims) absolution from your oaths (of such a kind), and Allah is your Protector. He is the Knower, the Wise.


tafseer:
When the Prophet confided a fact unto one of his wives and when she afterward divulged it and Allah apprised him thereof, he made known (to her) part thereof and passed over part. And when he told it her she said: Who hath told thee? He said: The Knower, the Aware hath told me.


tafseer:
It may happen that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your stead wives better than you, submissive (to Allah), believing, pious, penitent, devout, inclined to fasting, widows and maids.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones, over which are set angels strong, severe, who resist not Allah in that which He commandeth them, but do that which they are commanded.


tafseer:
(Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses for yourselves this day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do.


tafseer:
O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands


tafseer:
O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey´s end.


tafseer:
Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter.

Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One´s creation


tafseer:
And verily We have beautified the world´s heaven with lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame.


tafseer:
As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner?


tafseer:
And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames.


tafseer:
And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men).


tafseer:
He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you, so Walk in the paths thereof and eat of His providence. And unto Him will be the resurrection (of the dead).


tafseer:
Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed?


tafseer:
Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane? But ye shall know the manner of My warning.


tafseer:
Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things.


tafseer:
Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion.


tafseer:
Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness.


tafseer:
Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road?


tafseer:
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He it is who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!


tafseer:
But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call.


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom?


tafseer:
Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.


tafseer:
Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water?

Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.


tafseer:
Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning,


tafseer:
Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.


tafseer:
Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain?


tafseer:
On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able,


tafseer:
With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.


tafseer:
Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.


tafseer:
Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.


tafseer:
And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad


tafseer:
Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.


tafseer:
That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.


tafseer:
And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.


tafseer:
(And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.


tafseer:
But as for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say: Oh, would that I had not been given my book


tafseer:
(Whereby) the angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day whereof the span is fifty thousand years.


tafseer:
Though they will be given sight of them. The guilty man will long to be able to ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the price of his children


tafseer:
But nay! I swear by the Lord of the rising-places and the setting-places of the planets that We verily are Able


tafseer:
That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah, when it cometh, cannot be delayed, if ye but knew.


tafseer:
And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride.


tafseer:
And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.

tafseer:
Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.


tafseer:
My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin.


tafseer:
Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! we have heard a marvellous Qur´an,


tafseer:
And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn, so that they increased them in revolt against Allah)


tafseer:
And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur´an said): We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors.


tafseer:
And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him


tafseer:
And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them.


tafseer:
And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are far from that. We are sects having different rules.


tafseer:
And when we heard the guidance, we believed therein, and whoso believeth in his Lord, he feareth neither loss nor oppression.


tafseer:

Lo! We have sent unto you a messenger as witness against you, even as We sent unto Pharaoh a messenger.


tafseer:
Lo! thy Lord knoweth how thou keepest vigil sometimes nearly two-thirds of the night, or (sometimes) half or a third thereof, as do a party of those with thee. Allah measureth the night and the day. He knoweth that ye count it not, and turneth unto you in mercy. Recite, then, of the Qur´an that which is easy for you. He knoweth that there are sick folk among you, while others travel in the land in search of Allah´s bounty, and others (still) are fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite of it that which is easy (for you), and establish worship and pay the poor-due, and (so) lend unto Allah a goodly loan. Whatsoever good ye send before you for your souls, ye will find it with Allah, better and greater in the recompense. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve

And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.


tafseer:
Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy


tafseer:
(Bright as) glass but (made) of silver, which they (themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds).


tafseer:
Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink.


tafseer:
(And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance.


tafseer:
We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead.


tafseer:
On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.


tafseer:
Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: &quot


tafseer:
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.


tafseer:
A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah´s.


tafseer:
Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.


tafseer:
Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.


tafseer:
As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.


tafseer:
And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and exhort one another to pity.


tafseer:
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters could not have left off (erring) till the clear proof came unto them,


tafseer:
And they are ordered naught else than to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him, as men by nature upright, and to establish worship and to pay the poor-due. That is true religion.


tafseer:
Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings.


tafseer:
Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they dwell for ever. Allah hath pleasure in them and they have pleasure in Him. This is (in store) for him who feareth his Lord.


tafseer:
Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.
