tafseer:
The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.


tafseer:
And who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before you and they are sure of the hereafter.


tafseer:
Surely those who disbelieve, it being alike to them whether you warn them, or do not warn them, will not believe.


tafseer:
Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a great punishment for them.


tafseer:
They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.


tafseer:
There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they


tafseer:
And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe they say: Shall we believe as the fools believe? Now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know.


tafseer:
Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.


tafseer:
These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers of the right direction.


tafseer:
Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness-- they do not see.


tafseer:
Who made the earth a resting place for you and the heaven a canopy and (Who) sends down rain from the cloud then brings forth with it subsistence for you of the fruits


tafseer:
And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your witnesses besides Allah if you are truthful.


tafseer:
But if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then be on your guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel


tafseer:
And convey good news to those who believe and do good deeds, that they shall have gardens in which rivers flow


tafseer:
Who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut asunder what Allah has ordered to be joined, and make mischief in the land


tafseer:
How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life? Again He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, then you shall be brought back to Him.


tafseer:
He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth, and He directed Himself to the heaven, so He made them complete seven heavens, and He knows all things.


tafseer:
And when your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place in the earth a khalif, they said: What! wilt Thou place in it such as shall make mischief in it and shed blood, and we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness? He said: Surely I know what you do not know.


tafseer:
He said: O Adam! inform them of their names. Then when he had informed them of their names, He said: Did I not say to you that I surely know what is ghaib in the heavens and the earth and (that) I know what you manifest and what you hide?


tafseer:
And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam they did obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He refused and he was proud, and he was one of the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And We said: O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the garden and eat from it a plenteous (food) wherever you wish and do not approach this tree, for then you will be of the unjust.


tafseer:
But the Shaitan made them both fall from it, and caused them to depart from that (state) in which they were


tafseer:
And (as to) those who disbelieve in and reject My communications, they are the inmates of the fire, in it they shall abide.


tafseer:
O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and be faithful to (your) covenant with Me, I will fulfill (My) covenant with you


tafseer:
And believe in what I have revealed, verifying that which is with you, and be not the first to deny it, neither take a mean price in exchange for My communications


tafseer:
And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and most surely it is a hard thing except for the humble ones,


tafseer:
O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I made you excel the nations.


tafseer:
And be on your guard against a day when one soul shall not avail another in the least, neither shall intercession on its behalf be accepted, nor shall any compensation be taken from it, nor shall they be helped.


tafseer:
And when We delivered you from Firon´s people, who subjected you to severe torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and in this there was a great trial from your Lord.


tafseer:
And when We parted the sea for you, so We saved you and drowned the followers of Firon and you watched by.


tafseer:
And when We appointed a time of forty nights with Musa, then you took the calf (for a god) after him and you were unjust.


tafseer:
And when Musa said to his people: O my people! you have surely been unjust to yourselves by taking the calf (for a god), therefore turn to your Creator (penitently), so kill your people, that is best for you with your Creator: so He turned to you (mercifully), for surely He is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.


tafseer:
And when you said: O Musa! we will not believe in you until we see Allah manifestly, so the punishment overtook you while you looked on.


tafseer:
And We made the clouds to give shade over you and We sent to you manna and quails: Eat of the good things that We have given you


tafseer:
And when We said: Enter this city, then eat from it a plenteous (food) wherever you wish, and enter the gate making obeisance, and say, forgiveness. We will forgive you your wrongs and give more to those who do good (to others).


tafseer:
But those who were unjust changed it for a saying other than that which had been spoken to them, so We sent upon those who were unjust a pestilence from heaven, because they transgressed.


tafseer:
And when Musa prayed for drink for his people, We said: Strike the rock with your staff So there gushed from it twelve springs


tafseer:
And when you said: O Musa! we cannot bear with one food, therefore pray Lord on our behalf to bring forth for us out of what the earth grows, of its herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions. He said: Will you exchange that which is better for that which is worse? Enter a city, so you will have what you ask for. And abasement and humiliation were brought down upon them, and they became deserving of Allah´s wrath


tafseer:
Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the f Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
And when We took a promise from you and lifted the mountain over you: Take hold of the law (Tavrat) We have given you with firmness and bear in mind what is in it, so that you may guard (against evil).


tafseer:
And certainly you have known those among you who exceeded the limits of the Sabbath, so We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised and hated.


tafseer:
So We made them an example to those who witnessed it and those who came after it, and an admonition to those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what she is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow neither advanced in age nor too young, of middle age between that (and this)


tafseer:
They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what her color is. Musa said: He says, Surely she is a yellow cow


tafseer:
They said: Call on your Lord for our sake to make it plain to us what she is, for surely to us the cows are all alike, and if Allah please we shall surely be guided aright.


tafseer:
Musa said: He says, Surely she is a cow not made submissive that she should plough the land, nor does she irrigate the tilth


tafseer:
And when you killed a man, then you disagreed with respect to that, and Allah was to bring forth that which you were going to hide.


tafseer:
So We said: Strike the (dead body) with part of the (Sacrificed cow), thus Allah brings the dead to life, and He shows you His signs so that you may understand.


tafseer:
Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among them indeed used to hear the Word of Allah, then altered it after they had understood it, and they know (this).


tafseer:
And when they meet those who believe they say: We believe, and when they are alone one with another they say: Do you talk to them of what Allah has disclosed to you that they may contend with you by this before your Lord? Do you not then understand?


tafseer:
And there are among them illiterates who know not the Book but only lies, and they do but conjecture.


tafseer:
Woe, then, to those who write the book with their hands and then say: This is from Allah, so that they may take for it a small price


tafseer:
And they say: Fire shall not touch us but for a few days. Say: Have you received a promise from Allah, then Allah will not fail to perform His promise, or do you speak against Allah what you do not know?


tafseer:
And when We made a covenant with the children of Israel: You shall not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy, and you shall speak to men good words and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate. Then you turned back except a few of you and (now too) you turn aside.


tafseer:
And when We made a covenant with you: You shall not shed your blood and you shall not turn your people out of your cities


tafseer:
Yet you it is who slay your people and turn a party from among you out of their homes, backing each other up against them unlawfully and exceeding the limits


tafseer:
These are they who buy the life of this world for the hereafter, so their chastisement shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped.


tafseer:
And when there came to them a Book from Allah verifying that which they have, and aforetime they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieve, but when there came to them (Prophet) that which they did not recognize, they disbelieved in him


tafseer:
Evil is that for which they have sold their souls-- that they should deny what Allah has revealed, out of envy that Allah should send down of His grace on whomsoever of His servants He pleases


tafseer:
And when it is said to them, Believe in what Allah has revealed, they say: We believe in that which was revealed to us


tafseer:
And most certainly Musa came to you with clear arguments, then you took the calf (for a god) in his absence and you were unjust.


tafseer:
And when We made a covenant with you and raised the mountain over you: Take hold of what We have given you with firmness and be obedient. They said: We hear and disobey. And they were made to imbibe (the love of) the calf into their hearts on account of their unbelief Say: Evil is that which your belief bids you if you are believers.


tafseer:
Say: If the future abode with Allah is specially for you to the exclusion of the people, then invoke death if you are truthful.


tafseer:
And they will never invoke it on account of what their hands have sent before, and Allah knows the unjust.


tafseer:
And you will most certainly find them the greediest of men for life (greedier) than even those who are polytheists


tafseer:
Say: Whoever is the enemy of Jibreel-- for surely he revealed it to your heart by Allah´s command, verifying that which is before it and guidance and good news for the believers.


tafseer:
Whoever is the enemy of Allah and His angels and His messengers and Jibreel and Meekaeel, so surely Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And certainly We have revealed to you clear communications and none disbelieve in them except the transgressors.


tafseer:
What! whenever they make a covenant, a party of them cast it aside? Nay, most of them do not believe.


tafseer:
And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah verifying that which they have, a party of those who were given the Book threw the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they knew nothing.


tafseer:
And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery in the reign of Sulaiman, and Sulaiman was not an unbeliever, but the Shaitans disbelieved, they taught men sorcery and that was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Harut and Marut, yet these two taught no man until they had said, &quot


tafseer:
And if they had believed and guarded themselves (against evil), reward from Allah would certainly have been better


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not say Raina and say Unzurna and listen, and for the unbelievers there is a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book do not like, nor do the polytheists, that the good should be sent down to you from your Lord, and Allah chooses especially whom He pleases for His mercy, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.


tafseer:
Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?


tafseer:
Do you not know that Allah´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that besides Allah you have no guardian or helper?


tafseer:
Many of the followers of the Book wish that they could turn you back into unbelievers after your faith, out of envy from themselves, (even) after the truth has become manifest to them


tafseer:
And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and whatever good you send before for yourselves, you shall find it with Allah


tafseer:
And they say: None shall enter the garden (or paradise) except he who is a Jew or a Christian. These are their vain desires. Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.


tafseer:
Yes! whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and he is the doer of good (to others) he has his reward from his Lord, and there is no fear for him nor shall he grieve.


tafseer:
And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything (good) and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything (good) while they recite the (same) Book. Even thus say those who have no knowledge, like to what they say


tafseer:
And who is more unjust than he who prevents (men) from the masjids of Allah, that His name should be remembered in them, and strives to ruin them? (As for) these, it was not proper for them that they should have entered them except in fear


tafseer:
Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth, and when He decrees an affair, He only says to it, Be, so there it is.


tafseer:
And those who have no knowledge say: Why does not Allah speak to us or a sign come to us? Even thus said those before them, the like of what they say


tafseer:
Surely We have sent you with the truth as a bearer of good news and as a warner, and you shall not be called upon to answer for the companions of the flaming fire.


tafseer:
And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah´s guidance, that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper.


tafseer:
O children of Israel, call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I made you excel the nations.


tafseer:
And be on your guard against a day when no soul shall avail another in the least neither shall any compensation be accepted from it, nor shall intercession profit it, nor shall they be helped.


tafseer:
And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with certain words, he fulfilled them. He said: Surely I will make you an Imam of men. Ibrahim said: And of my offspring? My covenant does not include the unjust, said He.


tafseer:
And when We made the House a pilgrimage for men and a (place of) security, and: Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer on the standing-place of Ibrahim. And We enjoined Ibrahim and Ismail saying: Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those who abide (in it) for devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves.


tafseer:
And when Ibrahim said: My Lord, make it a secure town and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the last day. He said: And whoever disbelieves, I will grant him enjoyment for a short while, then I will drive him to the chastisement of the fire


tafseer:
Our Lord! and make us both submissive to Thee and (raise) from our offspring a nation submitting to Thee, and show us our ways of devotion and turn to us (mercifully), surely Thou art the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.


tafseer:
Our Lord! and raise up in them a Messenger from among them who shall recite to them Thy communications and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them


tafseer:
And who forsakes the religion of Ibrahim but he who makes himself a fool, and most certainly We chose him in this world, and in the hereafter he is most surely among the righteous.


tafseer:
And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub. O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims.


tafseer:
Nay! were you witnesses when death visited Yaqoub, when he said to his sons: What will you serve after me? They said: We will serve your god and the god of your fathers, Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq, one Allah only, and to Him do we submit.


tafseer:
And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will be on the right course. Say: Nay! (we follow) the religion of Ibrahim, the Hanif, and he was not one of the polytheists.


tafseer:
Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and (in) that which was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in) that which was given to Musa and Isa, and (in) that which was given to the prophets from their Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him do we submit.


tafseer:
If then they believe as you believe in Him, they are indeed on the right course, and if they turn back, then they are only in great opposition, so Allah will suffice you against them, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.


tafseer:
Say: Do you dispute with us about Allah, and He is our Lord and your Lord, and we shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds, and we are sincere to Him.


tafseer:
Nay! do you say that Ibrahim and Ismail and Yaqoub and the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Are you better knowing or Allah? And who is more unjust than he who conceals a testimony that he has from Allah? And Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.


tafseer:
The fools among the people will say: What has turned them from their qiblah which they had? Say: The East and the West belong only to Allah


tafseer:
And thus We have made you a medium (just) nation that you may be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) the Messenger may be a bearer of witness to you


tafseer:
Indeed We see the turning of your face to heaven, so We shall surely turn you to a qiblah which you shall like


tafseer:
And even if you bring to those who have been given the Book every sign they would not follow your qiblah, nor can you be a follower of their qiblah, neither are they the followers of each other´s qiblah, and if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, then you shall most surely be among the unjust.


tafseer:
Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as they recognize their sons, and a party of them most surely conceal the truth while they know (it).


tafseer:
Even as We have sent among you a Messenger from among you who recites to you Our communications and purifies you and teaches you the Book and the wisdom and teaches you that which you did not know.


tafseer:
And We will most certainly try you with somewhat of fear and hunger and loss of property and lives and fruits


tafseer:
Those are they on whom are blessings and mercy from their Lord, and those are the followers of the right course.


tafseer:
Surely those who conceal the clear proofs and the guidance that We revealed after We made it clear in the Book for men, these it is whom Allah shall curse, and those who curse shall curse them (too).


tafseer:
Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (the truth), these it is to whom I turn (mercifully)


tafseer:
Surely those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers, these it is on whom is the curse of Allah and the angels and men all


tafseer:
Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand.


tafseer:
And there are some among men who take for themselves objects of worship besides Allah, whom they love as they love Allah, and those who believe are stronger in love for Allah and O, that those who are unjust had seen, when they see the chastisement, that the power is wholly Allah´s and that Allah is severe in requiting (evil).


tafseer:
When those who were followed shall renounce those who followed (them), and they see the chastisement and their ties are cut asunder.


tafseer:
And those who followed shall say: Had there been for us a return, then we would renounce them as they have renounced us. Thus will Allah show them their deeds to be intense regret to them, and they shall not come forth from the fire.


tafseer:
O men! eat the lawful and good things out of what is in the earth, and do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan


tafseer:
And when it is said to them, Follow what Allah has revealed, they say: Nay! we follow what we found our fathers upon. What! and though their fathers had no sense at all, nor did they follow the right way.


tafseer:
And the parable of those who disbelieve is as the parable of one who calls out to that which hears no more than a call and a cry


tafseer:
O you who believe! eat of the good things that We have provided you with, and give thanks to Allah if Him it is that you serve.


tafseer:
He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that over which any other (name) than (that of) Allah has been invoked


tafseer:
Surely those who conceal any part of the Book that Allah has revealed and take for it a small price, they eat nothing but fire into their bellies, and Allah will not speak to them on the day of resurrection, nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate


tafseer:
O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female, but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for the bloodwit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner


tafseer:
And there is life for you in (the law of) retaliation, O men of understanding, that you may guard yourselves.


tafseer:
Bequest is prescribed for you when death approaches one of you, if he leaves behind wealth for parents and near relatives, according to usage, a duty (incumbent) upon those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
But he who fears an inclination to a wrong course or an act of disobedience on the part of the testator, and effects an agreement between the parties, there is no blame on him. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (against evil).


tafseer:
The month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction


tafseer:
And do not swallow up your property among yourselves by false means, neither seek to gain access thereby to the judges, so that you may swallow up a part of the property of men wrongfully while you know.


tafseer:
They ask you concerning the new moon. Say: They are times appointed for (the benefit of) men, and (for) the pilgrimage


tafseer:
And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.


tafseer:
And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them


tafseer:
And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.


tafseer:
And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves to perdition with your own hands, and do good (to others)


tafseer:
And accomplish the pilgrimage and the visit for Allah, but if, you are prevented, (send) whatever offering is easy to obtain, and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its destination


tafseer:
So when you have performed your devotions, then laud Allah as you lauded your fathers, rather a greater lauding. But there are some people who say, Our Lord! give us in the world, and they shall have no resting place.


tafseer:
And there are some among them who say: Our Lord! grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the chastisement of the fire.


tafseer:
And among men is he whose speech about the life of this world causes you to wonder, and he calls on Allah to witness as to what is in his heart, yet he is the most violent of adversaries.


tafseer:
And when he turn,s back, he runs along in the land that he may cause mischief in it and destroy the tilth and the stock, and Allah does not love mischief-making.


tafseer:
They do not wait aught but that Allah should come to them in the shadows of the clouds along with the angels, and the matter has (already) been decided


tafseer:
The life of this world is made to seem fair to those who disbelieve, and they mock those who believe, and those who guard (against evil) shall be above them on the day of resurrection


tafseer:
Or do you think that you would enter the garden while yet the state of those who have passed away before you has not come upon you


tafseer:
They ask you as to what they should spend. Say: Whatever wealth you spend, it is for the parents and the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, and whatever good you do, Allah surely knows it.


tafseer:
They ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting in it. Say: Fighting in it is a grave matter, and hindering (men) from Allah´s way and denying Him, and (hindering men from) the Sacred Mosque and turning its people out of it, are still graver with Allah, and persecution is graver than slaughter


tafseer:
Surely those who believed and those who fled (their home) and strove hard in the way of Allah these hope for the mercy of Allah and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: In both of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men, and their sin is greater than their profit. And they ask you as to what they should spend. Say: What you can spare. Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications, that you may ponder


tafseer:
On this world and the hereafter. And they ask you concerning the orphans Say: To set right for them (their affairs) is good, and if you become co-partners with them, they are your brethren


tafseer:
And do not marry the idolatresses until they believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman, even though she should please you


tafseer:
Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like, and do good beforehand for yourselves, and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers.


tafseer:
And make not Allah because of your swearing (by Him) an obstacle to your doing good and guarding (against evil) and making peace between men, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.


tafseer:
Allah does not call you to account for what is vain in your oaths, but He will call you to account for what your hearts have earned, and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.


tafseer:
Divorce may be (pronounced) twice, then keep (them) in good fellowship or let (them) go with kindness


tafseer:
And when you divorce women and they reach their prescribed time, then either retain them in good fellowship or set them free with liberality, and do not retain them for injury, so that you exceed the limits, and whoever does this, he indeed is unjust to his own soul


tafseer:
And when you have divorced women and they have ended-- their term (of waiting), then do not prevent them from marrying their husbands when they agree among themselves in a lawful manner


tafseer:
And the mothers should suckle their children for two whole years for him who desires to make complete the time of suckling


tafseer:
And (as for) those of you who die and leave wives behind, they should keep themselves in waiting for four months and ten days


tafseer:
And there is no blame on you respecting that which you speak indirectly in the asking of (such) women in marriage or keep (the proposal) concealed within your minds


tafseer:
There is no blame on you if you divorce women when you have not touched them or appointed for them a portion, and make provision for them, the wealthy according to his means and the straitened in circumstances according to his means, a provision according to usage


tafseer:
And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have appointed for them a portion, then (pay to them) ha!f of what you have appointed, unless they relinquish or he should relinquish in whose hand is the marriage tie


tafseer:
And those of you who die and leave wives behind, (make) a bequest in favor of their wives of maintenance for a year without turning (them) out, then if they themselves go away, there is no blame on you for what they do of lawful deeds by themselves, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.


tafseer:
Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die


tafseer:
Who is it that will offer of Allah a goodly gift, so He will multiply it to him manifold, and Allah straitens and amplifies, and you shall be returned to Him.


tafseer:
Have you not considered the chiefs of the children of Israel after Musa, when they said to a prophet of theirs: Raise up for us a king, (that) we may fight in the way of Allah. He said: May it not be that you would not fight if fighting is ordained for you? They said: And what reason have we that we should not fight in the way of Allah, and we have indeed been compelled to abandon our homes and our children. But when fighting was ordained for them, they turned back, except a few of them, and Allah knows the unjust.


tafseer:
And their prophet said to them: Surely Allah has raised Talut to be a king over you. They said: How can he hold kingship over us while we have a greater right to kingship than he, and he has not been granted an abundance of wealth? He said: Surely Allah has chosen him in preference to you, and He has increased him abundantly in knowledge and physique, and Allah grants His kingdom to whom He pleases, and Allah is Amplegiving, Knowing.


tafseer:
And the prophet said to them: Surely the sign of His kingdom is, that there shall come to you the chest in which there is tranquillity from your Lord and residue of the relics of what the children of Musa and the children of Haroun have left, the angels bearing it


tafseer:
And when they went out against Jalut and his forces they said: Our Lord, pour down upon us patience, and make our steps firm and assist us against the unbelieving people.


tafseer:
So they put them to flight by Allah´s permission. And Dawood slew Jalut, and Allah gave him kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of what He pleased. And were it not for Allah´s repelling some men with others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder


tafseer:
We have made some of these messengers to excel the others among them are they to whom Allah spoke, and some of them He exalted by (many degrees of) rank


tafseer:
O you who believe! spend out of what We have given you before the day comes in which there is no bargaining, neither any friendship nor intercession, and the unbelievers-- they are the unjust.


tafseer:
Have you not considered him (Namrud) who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from the west


tafseer:
And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! show me how Thou givest life to the dead, He said: What! and do you not believe? He said: Yes, but that my heart may be at ease. He said: Then take four of the birds, then train them to follow you, then place on every mountain a part of them, then call them, they will come to you flying


tafseer:
The parable of those who spend their property in the way of Allah is as the parable of a grain growing seven ears (with) a hundred grains in every ear


tafseer:
(As for) those who spend their property in the way of Allah, then do not follow up what they have spent with reproach or injury, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not make your charity worthless by reproach and injury, like him who spends his property to be seen of men and does not believe in Allah and the last day


tafseer:
And the parable of those who spend their property to seek the pleasure of Allah and for the certainty ´of their souls is as the parable of a garden on an elevated ground, upon which heavy rain falls so it brings forth its fruit twofold but if heavy rain does not fall upon it, then light rain (is sufficient)


tafseer:
Does one of you like that he should have a garden of palms and vines with streams flowing beneath it


tafseer:
O you who believe! spend (benevolently) of the good things that you earn and or what We have brought forth for you out of the earth, and do not aim at what is bad that you may spend (in alms) of it, while you would not take it yourselves unless you have its price lowered, and know that Allah is Self-sufficient, Praiseworthy.


tafseer:
Shaitan threatens you with poverty and enjoins you to be niggardly, and Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and abundance


tafseer:
He grants wisdom to whom He pleases, and whoever is granted wisdom, he indeed is given a great good and none but men of understanding mind.


tafseer:
If you give alms openly, it is well, and if you hide it and give it to the poor, it is better for you


tafseer:
(As for) those who spend their property by night and by day, secretly and openly, they shall have their reward from their Lord and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
Those who swallow down usury cannot arise except as one whom Shaitan has prostrated by (his) touch does rise. That is because they say, trading is only like usury


tafseer:
Allah does not bless usury, and He causes charitable deeds to prosper, and Allah does not love any ungrateful sinner.


tafseer:
Surely they who believe and do good deeds and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and relinquish what remains (due) from usury, if you are believers.


tafseer:
O you who believe! when you deal with each other in contracting a debt for a fixed time, then write it down


tafseer:
And if you are upon a journey and you do not find a scribe, then (there may be) a security taken into possession


tafseer:
He has revealed to you the Book with truth, verifying that which is before it, and He revealed the Tavrat and the Injeel aforetime, a guidance for the people, and He sent the Furqan.


tafseer:
Our Lord! make not our hearts to deviate after Thou hast guided us aright, and grant us from Thee mercy


tafseer:
(As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah, and these it is who are the fuel of the fire.


tafseer:
The love of desires, of women and sons and hoarded treasures of gold and silver and well bred horses and cattle and tilth, is made to seem fair to men


tafseer:
Say:Shall}I tell you what is better than these? For those who guard (against evil) are gardens with their Lord, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them, and pure mates and Allah´s pleasure


tafseer:
Those who say: Our Lord! surely we believe, therefore forgive us our faults and save us from the chastisement of the fire.


tafseer:
The patient, and the truthful, and the obedient, and those who spend (benevolently) and those who ask forgiveness in the morning times.


tafseer:
Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and (so do) the angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining His creation with justice


tafseer:
Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam, and those to whom the Book had been given did not show opposition but after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves


tafseer:
But if they dispute with you, say: I have submitted myself entirely to Allah and (so) every one who follows me


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who disbelieve in the communications of Allah and slay the prophets unjustly and slay those among men who enjoin justice, announce to them a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
Those are they whose works shall become null in this world as well as the hereafter, and they shall have no helpers.


tafseer:
Have you not considered those (Jews) who are given a portion of the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah that it might decide between them, then a part of them turn back and they withdraw.


tafseer:
Then how will it be when We shall gather them together on a day about which there is no doubt, and every soul shall be fully paid what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly?


tafseer:
Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! Thou givest the kingdom to whomsoever Thou pleasest and takest away the kingdom from whomsoever Thou pleasest, and Thou exaltest whom Thou pleasest and abasest whom Thou pleasest in Thine hand is the good


tafseer:
Thou makest the night to pass into the day and Thou makest the day to pass into the night, and Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest without measure.


tafseer:
Say: Whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it, Allah knows it, and He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and Allah has power over all things.


tafseer:
On the day that every soul shall find present what it has done of good and what it has done of evil, it shall wish that between it and that (evil) there were a long duration of time


tafseer:
Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, MercifuL


tafseer:
Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations.


tafseer:
When a woman of Imran said: My Lord! surely I vow to Thee what is in my womb, to be devoted (to Thy service)


tafseer:
So when she brought forth, she said: My Lord! Surely I have brought it forth a female-- and Allah knew best what she brought forth-- and the male is not like the female, and I have named it Marium, and I commend her and her offspring into Thy protection from the accursed Shaitan.


tafseer:
So her Lord accepted her with a good acceptance and made her grow up a good growing, and gave her into the charge of Zakariya


tafseer:
Then the angels called to him as he stood praying in the sanctuary: That Allah gives you the good news of Yahya verifying a Word from Allah, and honorable and chaste and a prophet from among the good ones.


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! when shall there be a son (born) to me, and old age has already come upon me, and my wife is barren? He said: even thus does Allah what He pleases.


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! appoint a sign for me. Said He: Your sign is that you should not speak to men for three days except by signs


tafseer:
And when the angels said: O Marium! surely Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of of the world.


tafseer:
When the angels said: O Marium, surely Allah gives you good news with a Word from Him (of one) whose name is the ´. Messiah, Isa son of Marium, worthy of regard in this world and the hereafter and of those who are made near (to Allah).


tafseer:
And he shall speak to the people when in the cradle and when of old age, and (he shall be) one of the good ones.


tafseer:
She said: My Lord! when shall there be a son (born) to I me, and man has not touched me? He said: Even so, Allah creates what He pleases


tafseer:
And (make him) a messenger to the children of Israel: That I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I determine for you out of dust like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird with Allah´s permission and I heal the blind and the leprous, and bring the dead to life with Allah´s permission and I inform you of what you should eat and what you should store in your houses


tafseer:
And a verifier of that which is before me of the Taurat and that I may allow you part of that which has been forbidden t you, and I have come to you with a sign from your Lord therefore be careful of (your duty to) Allah and obey me.


tafseer:
But when Isa perceived unbelief on their part, he said Who will be my helpers in Allah´s way? The disciples said: We are helpers (in the way) of Allah: We believe in Allah and bear witness that we are submitting ones.


tafseer:
Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed and we follow the messenger, so write us down with those who bear witness.


tafseer:
And when Allah said: O Isa, I am going to terminate the period of your stay (on earth) and cause you to ascend unto Me and purify you of those who disbelieve and make those who follow you above those who disbelieve to the day of resurrection


tafseer:
Then as to those who disbelieve, I will chastise them with severe chastisement in this world and the hereafter, and they shall have no helpers.


tafseer:
But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars.


tafseer:
Say: O followers of the Book! come to an equitable proposition between us and you that we shall not serve any but Allah and (that) we shall not associate aught with Him, and (that) some of us shall not take others for lords besides Allah


tafseer:
O followers of the Book! why do you dispute about Ibrahim, when the Taurat and the Injeel were not revealed till after him


tafseer:
Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists.


tafseer:
Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim are those who followed him and this Prophet and those who believe and Allah is the guardian of the believers.


tafseer:
A party of the followers of the Book desire that they should lead you astray, and they lead not astray but themselves, and they do not perceive.


tafseer:
O followers of the Book! Why do you disbelieve in the communications of Allah while you witness (them)?


tafseer:
O followers of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with the falsehood and hide the truth while you know?


tafseer:
And a party of the followers of the Book say: Avow belief in that which has been revealed to those who believe, in the first part of the day, and disbelieve at the end of it, perhaps they go back on their religion.


tafseer:
And do not believe but in him who follows your religion. Say: Surely the (true) guidance is the guidance of Allah-- that one may be given (by Him) the like of what you were given


tafseer:
And among the followers of the Book there are some such that if you entrust one (of them) with a heap of wealth, he shall pay it back to you


tafseer:
Yea, whoever fulfills his promise and guards (against evil)-- then surely Allah loves those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
(As for) those who take a small price for the covenant of Allah and their own oaths-- surely they shall have no portion in the hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them, nor will He look upon them on the day of resurrection nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
Most surely there is a party amongst those who distort the Book with their tongue that you may consider it to be (a part) of the Book, and they say, It is from Allah, while it is not from Allah, and they tell a lie against Allah whilst they know.


tafseer:
It is not meet for a mortal that Allah should give him the Book and the wisdom and prophethood, then he should say to men: Be my servants rather than Allah´s


tafseer:
And when Allah made a covenant through the prophets: Certainly what I have given you of Book and wisdom-- then an messenger comes to you verifying that which is with you, you must believe in him, and you must aid him. He said: Do you affirm and accept My compact in this (matter)? They said: We do affirm. He said: Then bear witness, and I (too) am of the bearers of witness with you.


tafseer:
Is it then other than Allah´s religion that they seek (to follow), and to Him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him shall they be returned.


tafseer:
Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and what was given to Musa and Isa and to the prophets from their Lord


tafseer:
And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.


tafseer:
How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their believing and (after) they had borne witness that the Messenger was true and clear arguments had come to them


tafseer:
(As for) these, their reward is that upon them is the curse of Allah and the angels and of men, all together.


tafseer:
Surely, those who disbelieve a,fter their believing, then increase in unbelief, their repentance shall not be accepted, and these are they that go astray.


tafseer:
Surely, those who disbelieve and die while they are unbelievers, the earth full of gold shall not be accepted from one of them, though he should offer to ransom himself with it, these it is who shall have a painful chastisement, and they shall have no helpers.


tafseer:
All food was lawful to the children of Israel except that which Israel had forbidden to himself, before the Taurat was revealed. Say: Bring then the Taurat and read it, if you are truthful.


tafseer:
Most surely the first house appointed for men is the one at Bekka, blessed and a guidance for the nations.


tafseer:
In it are clear signs, the standing place of Ibrahim, and whoever enters it shall be secure, and pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon men for the sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to undertake the journey to it


tafseer:
Say: O followers of the Book! why do you disbelieve in the communications of Allah? And Allah is a witness of what you do.


tafseer:
Say: O followers of the Book! why do you hinder him who believes from the way of Allah? You seek (to make) it crooked, while you are witness, and Allah is not heedless of what you do.


tafseer:
O you who believe! if you obey a party from among those who have been given the Book, they will turn you back as unbelievers after you have believed.


tafseer:
But how can you disbelieve while it is you to whom the communications of Allah are recited, and among you is His Messenger? And whoever holds fast to Allah, he indeed is guided to the right path.


tafseer:
O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah with the care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are Muslims.


tafseer:
And hold fast by the covenant of Allah all together and be not disunited, and remember the favor of Allah on you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts so by His favor you became brethren


tafseer:
And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful.


tafseer:
And be not like those who became divided and disagreed after clear arguments had come to them, and these it is that shall have a grievous chastisement.


tafseer:
These are the communications of Allah which We recite to you with truth, and Allah does not desire any injustice to the creatures.


tafseer:
Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever they are found, except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they have become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave to them


tafseer:
They believe in Allah and the last day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and they strive with one another in hastening to good deeds, and those are among the good.


tafseer:
And whatever good they do, they shall not be denied it, and Allah knows those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
(As for) those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah


tafseer:
The likeness of what they spend in the life of this world is as the likeness of wind in which is intense cold (that) smites the seed produce of a people who haw done injustice to their souls and destroys it


tafseer:
Lo! you are they who will love them while they do not love you, and you believe in the Book (in) the whole of it


tafseer:
And when you did go forth early in the morning from your family to lodge the believers in encampments for war and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.


tafseer:
When two parties from among you had determined that they should show cowardice, and Allah was the guardian of them both, and in Allah should the believers trust.


tafseer:
When you said to the believers: Does it not suffice you that your Lord should assist you with three thousand of the angels sent down?


tafseer:
Yea! if you remain patient and are on your guard, and they come upon you in a headlong manner, your Lord will assist you with five thousand of the havoc-making angels.


tafseer:
And Allah did not make it but as good news for you, and that your hearts might be at ease thereby, and victory is only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
That He may cut off a portion from among those who disbelieve, or abase them so that they should return disappointed of attaining what they desired.


tafseer:
You have no concern in the affair whether He turns to them (mercifully) or chastises them, for surely they are unjust.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not devour usury, making it double and redouble, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, that you may be successful.


tafseer:
Those who spend (benevolently) in ease as well as in straitness, and those who restrain (their) anger and pardon men


tafseer:
And those who when they commit an indecency or do injustice to their souls remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their faults-- and who forgives the faults but Allah, and (who) do not knowingly persist in what they have done.


tafseer:
(As for) these-- their reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them, and excellent is the reward of the laborers.


tafseer:
This is a clear statement for men, and a guidance and an admonition to those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
Do you think that you will enter the garden while Allah has not yet known those who strive hard from among you, and (He has not) known the patient.


tafseer:
And their saying was no other than that they said: Our Lord! forgive us our faults and our extravagance in our affair and make firm our feet and help us against the unbelieving people.


tafseer:
So Allah gave them the reward of this world and better reward of the hereafter and Allah loves those who do good (to others).


tafseer:
O you who believe! if you obey those who disbelieve they will turn you back upon your heels, so you will turn back losers.


tafseer:
We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.


tafseer:
And certainly Allah made good to you His promise when you slew them by His permission, until when you became weak-hearted and disputed about the affair and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you loved


tafseer:
When you ran off precipitately and did not wait for any one, and the Messenger was calling you from your rear, so He gave you another sorrow instead of (your) sorrow, so that you might not grieve at what had escaped you, nor (at) what befell you


tafseer:
Then after sorrow He sent down security upon you, a calm coming upon a party of you, and (there was) another party whom their own souls had rendered anxious


tafseer:
(As for) those of you who turned back on the day when the two armies met, only the Shaitan sought to cause them to make a slip on account of some deeds they had done, and certainly Allah has pardoned them


tafseer:
O you who believe! be not like those who disbelieve and say of their brethren when they travel in the earth or engage in fighting: Had they been with us, they would not have died and they would not have been slain


tafseer:
And if you are slain in the way of Allah or you die, certainly forgiveness from Allah and mercy is better than what they amass.


tafseer:
Thus it is due to mercy from Allah that you deal with them gently, and had you been rough, hard hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around you


tafseer:
If Allah assists you, then there is none that can overcome you, and if He forsakes you, who is there then that can assist you after Him? And on Allah should the believers rely.


tafseer:
Is then he who follows the pleasure of Allah like him who has made himself deserving of displeasure from Allah, and his abode is hell


tafseer:
Certainly Allah conferred a benefit upon the believers when He raised among them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His communications and purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the wisdom, although before that they were surely in manifest error.


tafseer:
What! when a misfortune befell you, and you had certainly afflicted (the unbelievers) with twice as much, you began to say: Whence is this? Say: It is from yourselves


tafseer:
And what befell you on the day when the two armies met (at Ohud) was with Allah´s knowledge, and that He might know the believers.


tafseer:
Those who said of their brethren whilst they (themselves) held back: Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed. Say: Then avert death from yourselves if you speak the truth.


tafseer:
Rejoicing in what Allah has given them out of His grace and they rejoice for the sake of those who, (being left) behind them, have not yet joined them, that they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
They rejoice on account of favor from Allah and (His) grace, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.


tafseer:
(As for) those who responded (at Ohud) to the call of Allah and the Messenger after the wound had befallen them, those among them who do good (to others) and guard (against evil)shall have a great reward.


tafseer:
Those to whom the people said: Surely men have gathered against you, therefore fear them, but this increased their faith, and they said: Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector.


tafseer:
So they returned with favor from Allah and (His) grace, no evil touched them and they followed the pleasure of Allah


tafseer:
It is only the Shaitan that causes you to fear from his friends, but do not fear them, and fear Me if you are believers.


tafseer:
Surely those who have bought unbelief at the price of faith shall do no harm at all to Allah, and they shall have a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
On no account will Allah leave the believers in the condition which you are in until He separates the evil from the good


tafseer:
And let not those deem, who are niggardly in giving away that which Allah has granted them out of His grace, that it is good for them


tafseer:
Allah has certainly heard the saying of those who said: Surely Allah is poor and we are rich. I will record what they say, and their killing the prophets unjustly, and I will say: Taste the chastisement of burning.


tafseer:
This is for what your own hands have sent before and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants.


tafseer:
(Those are they) who said: Surely Allah has enjoined us that we should not believe in any messenger until he brings us an offering which the fire consumes. Say: Indeed, there came to you messengers before me with clear arguments and with that which you demand


tafseer:
But if they reject you, so indeed were rejected before you messengers who came with clear arguments and scriptures and the illuminating book.


tafseer:
Every soul shall taste of death, and you shall only be paid fully your reward on the resurrection day


tafseer:
You shall certainly be tried respecting your wealth and your souls, and you shall certainly hear from those who have been given the Book before you and from those who are polytheists much annoying talk


tafseer:
And when Allah made a covenant with those who were given the Book: You shall certainly make it known to men and you shall not hide it


tafseer:
Do not think those who rejoice for what they have done and love that they should be praised for what they have not done-- so do by no means think them to be safe from the chastisement, and they shall have a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day there are signs for men who understand.


tafseer:
Those who remember Allah standing and sitting and lying on their sides and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: Our Lord! Thou hast not created this in vain! Glory be to Thee


tafseer:
Our Lord! surely whomsoever Thou makest enter the fire, him Thou hast indeed brought to disgrace, and there shall be no helpers for the unjust:


tafseer:
Our Lord! surely we have heard a preacher calling to the faith, saying: Believe in your Lord, so we did believe


tafseer:
So their Lord accepted their prayer: That I will not waste the work of a worker among you, whether male or female, the one of you being from the other


tafseer:
But as to those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding in them


tafseer:
And most surely of the followers of the Book there are those who believe in Allah and (in) that which has been revealed to you and (in) that which has been revealed to them, being lowly before Allah


tafseer:
O you who believe! be patient and excel in patience and remain steadfast, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, that you may be successful.


tafseer:
O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) and spread from these two, many men and women


tafseer:
And give to the orphans their property, and do not substitute worthless (things) for (their) good (ones), and do not devour their property (as an addition) to your own property


tafseer:
And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four


tafseer:
And give women their dowries as a free gift, but if they of themselves be pleased to give up to you a portion of it, then eat it with enjoyment and with wholesome result.


tafseer:
And do not give away your property which Allah has made for you a (means of) support to the weak of understanding, and maintain them out of (the profits of) it, and clothe them and speak to them words of honest advice.


tafseer:
Men shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, and women shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, whether there is little or much of it


tafseer:
And when there are present at the division the relatives and the orphans and the needy, give them (something) out of it and speak to them kind words.


tafseer:
And let those fear who, should they leave behind them weakly offspring, would fear on their account, so let them be careful of (their duty to) Allah, and let them speak right words.


tafseer:
(As for) those who swallow the property of the orphans unjustly, surely they only swallow fire into their bellies and they shall enter burning fire.


tafseer:
Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females


tafseer:
And you shall have half of what your wives leave if they have no child, but if they have a child, then you shall have a fourth of what they leave after (payment of) any bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt


tafseer:
These are Allah´s limits, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will cause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them


tafseer:
And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and goes beyond His limits, He will cause him to enter fire to abide in it, and he shall have an abasing chastisement.


tafseer:
And as for those who are guilty of an indecency from among your women, call to witnesses against them four (witnesses) from among you


tafseer:
Repentance with Allah is only for those who do evil in ignorance, then turn (to Allah) soon, so these it is to whom Allah turns (mercifully), and Allah is ever Knowing, Wise.


tafseer:
And repentance is not for those who go on doing evil deeds, until when death comes to one of them, he says: Surely now I repent


tafseer:
O you who believe! it is not lawful for you that you should take women as heritage against (their) will, and do not straiten them in order that you may take part of what you have given them, unless they are guilty of manifest indecency, and treat them kindly


tafseer:
And if you wish to have (one) wife in place of another and you have given one of them a heap of gold, then take not from it anything


tafseer:
And how can you take it when one of you has already gone in to the other and they have made with you a firm covenant?


tafseer:
Forbidden to you are your mothers and your daughters and your sisters and your paternal aunts and your maternal aunts and brothers´ daughters and sisters´ daughters and your mothers that have suckled you and your foster-sisters and mothers of your wives and your step-daughters who are in your guardianship, (born) of your wives to whom you have gone in, but if you have not gone in to them, there is no blame on you (in marrying them), and the wives of your sons who are of your own loins and that you should have two sisters together, except what has already passed


tafseer:
And all married women except those whom your right hands possess (this is) Allah´s ordinance to you, and lawful for you are (all women) besides those, provided that you seek (them) with your property, taking (them) in marriage not committing fornication. Then as to those whom you profit by, give them their dowries as appointed


tafseer:
And whoever among you has not within his power ampleness of means to marry free believing women, then (he may marry) of those whom your right hands possess from among your believing maidens


tafseer:
Allah desires to explain to you, and to guide you into the ways of those before you, and to turn to you (mercifully), and Allah is Knowing, Wise.


tafseer:
And Allah desires that He should turn to you (mercifully), and those who follow (their) lusts desire that you should deviate (with) a great deviation.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not devour your property among yourselves falsely, except that it be trading by your mutual consent


tafseer:
If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away with your small sins and cause you to enter an honorable place of entering.


tafseer:
Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property


tafseer:
And if you fear a breach between the two, then appoint judge from his people and a judge from her people


tafseer:
And serve Allah and do not associate any thing with Him and be good to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor of (your) kin and the alien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess


tafseer:
Those who are niggardly and bid people to be niggardly and hide what Allah has given them out of His grace


tafseer:
And those who spend their property (in alms) to be seen of the people and do not believe in Allah nor in the last day


tafseer:
And what (harm) would it have done them if they had believed in Allah and the last day and spent (benevolently) of what Allah had given them? And Allah knows them.


tafseer:
Surely Allah does not do injustice to the weight of an atom, and if it is a good deed He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.


tafseer:
How will it be, then, when We bring from every people a witness and bring you as a witness against these?


tafseer:
On that day will those who disbelieve and disobey the Messenger desire that the earth were levelled with them, and they shall not hide any word from Allah.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not go near prayer when you are Intoxicated until you know (well) what you say, nor when you are under an obligation to perform a bath-- unless (you are) travelling on the road-- until you have washed yourselves


tafseer:
Have you not considered those to whom a portion of the Book has been given? They buy error and desire that you should go astray from the way.


tafseer:
Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter words from their places and say: We have heard and we disobey and: Hear, may you not be made to hear! and: Raina, distorting (the word) with their tongues and taunting about religion


tafseer:
O you who have been given the Book! believe that which We have revealed, verifying what you have, before We alter faces then turn them on their backs, or curse them as We cursed the violaters of the Sabbath, and the command of Allah shall be executed.


tafseer:
Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases


tafseer:
Have you not considered those who attribute purity to themselves? Nay, Allah purifies whom He pleases


tafseer:
Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Book has been given? They believe in idols and false deities and say of those who disbelieve: These are better guided in the path than those who believe.


tafseer:
Those are they whom Allah has cursed, and whomever Allah curses you shall not find any helper for him.


tafseer:
Or have they a share in the kingdom? But then they would not give to people even the speck in the date stone.


tafseer:
Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His grace? But indeed We have given to Ibrahim´s children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom.


tafseer:
So of them is he who believes in him, and of them is he who turns away from him, and hell is sufficient to burn.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, We will make them enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them for ever


tafseer:
Surely Allah commands you to make over trusts to their owners and that when you judge between people you judge with justice


tafseer:
Have you not seen those who assert that they believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you? They desire to summon one another to the judgment of the Shaitan, though they were commanded to deny him, and the Shaitan desires to lead them astray into a remote error.


tafseer:
And when it is said to them: Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger, you will see the hypocrites turning away from you with (utter) aversion.


tafseer:
But how will it be when misfortune befalls them on account of what their hands have sent before? Then they will come to you swearing by Allah: We did not desire (anything) but good and concord.


tafseer:
But no! by your Lord! they do not believe (in reality) until they make you a judge of that which has become a matter of disagreement among them, and then do not find any straitness in their hearts as to what you have decided and submit with entire submission.


tafseer:
And if We had prescribed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your homes, they would not have done it except a few of them


tafseer:
And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, these are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favors from among the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and a goodly company are they!


tafseer:
And surely among you is he who would certainly hang back! If then a misfortune befalls you he says: Surely Allah conferred a benefit on me that I was not present with them.


tafseer:
And if grace from Allah come to you, he would certainly cry out, as if there had not been any friendship between you and him: Would that I had been with them, then I should have attained a mighty good fortune.


tafseer:
And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to go forth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper.


tafseer:
Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of the Shaitan. Fight therefore against the friends of the Shaitan


tafseer:
Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate


tafseer:
Wherever you are, death will overtake you, though you are in lofty towers, and if a benefit comes to them, they say: This is from Allah


tafseer:
Whatever benefit comes to you (O man!), it is from Allah, and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is from yourself, and We have sent you (O Prophet!), to mankind as a messenger


tafseer:
Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them.


tafseer:
And they say: Obedience. But when they go out from your presence, a party of them decide by night upon doing otherwise than what you say


tafseer:
Do they not then meditate on the Quran? And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy.


tafseer:
Whoever joins himself (to another) in a good cause shall have a share of it, and whoever joins himself (to another) in an evil cause shall have the responsibility of it, and Allah controls all things.


tafseer:
Allah, there is no god but He-- He will most certainly gather you together on the resurrection day, there is no doubt in it


tafseer:
What is the matter with you, then, that you have become two parties about the hypocrites, while Allah has made them return (to unbelief) for what they have earned? Do you wish to guide him whom Allah has caused to err? And whomsoever Allah causes to err, you shall by no means find a way for him.


tafseer:
Except those who reach a people between whom and you there is an alliance, or who come to you, their hearts shrinking from fighting you or fighting their own people


tafseer:
And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, he should free a believing slave, and blood-money should be paid to his people unless they remit it as alms


tafseer:
O you who believe! when you go to war in Allah´s way, make investigation, and do not say to any one who offers you peace: You are not a believer. Do you seek goods of this world´s life! But with Allah there are abundant gains


tafseer:
The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah´s way with their property and their persons are not equal


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah´s earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort


tafseer:
Except the weak from among the men and the children who have not in their power the means nor can they find a way (to escape)


tafseer:
And whoever flies in Allah´s way, he will find in the earth many a place of refuge and abundant resources, and whoever goes forth from his house flying to Allah and His Messenger, and then death overtakes him, his reward is indeed with Allah and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open enemy.


tafseer:
And when you are among them and keep up the prayer for them, let a party of them stand up with you, and let them take their arms


tafseer:
Surely We have revealed the Book to you with the truth that you may judge between people by means of that which Allah has taught you


tafseer:
They hide themselves from men and do not hide themselves from Allah, and He is with them when they meditate by night words which please Him not, and Allah encompasses what they do.


tafseer:
Behold! you are they who (may) plead for them in this world´s life, but who will plead for them with Allah on the resurrection day, or who shall be their protector?


tafseer:
And whoever does evil or acts unjustly to his soul, then asks forgiveness of Allah, he shall find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And whoever commits a fault or a sin, then accuses of it one innocent, he indeed takes upon himself the burden of a calumny and a manifest sin.


tafseer:
And were it not for Allah´s grace upon you and His mercy a party of them had certainly designed to bring you to perdition and they do not bring (aught) to perdition but their own souls, and they shall not harm you in any way, and Allah has revealed to you the Book and the wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know, and Allah´s grace on you is very great.


tafseer:
There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (in his) who enjoins charity or goodness or reconciliation between people


tafseer:
And whoever acts hostilely to the Messenger after that guidance has become manifest to him, and follows other than the way of the believers, We will turn him to that to which he has (himself) turned and make him enter hell


tafseer:
Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and He forgives what is besides this to whom He pleases


tafseer:
They do not call besides Him on anything but idols, and they do not call on anything but a rebellious Shaitan.


tafseer:
And most certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain desires, and bid them so that they shall slit the ears of the cattle, and most certainly I will bid them so that they shall alter Allah´s creation


tafseer:
And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will make them enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein for ever


tafseer:
(This) shall not be in accordance with your vain desires nor in accordance with the vain desires of the followers of the Book


tafseer:
And whoever does good deeds whether male or female and he (or she) is a believer-- these shall enter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with a jot unjustly.


tafseer:
And who has a better religion than he who submits himself entirely to Allah? And he is the doer of good (to others) and follows the faith of Ibrahim, the upright one, and Allah took Ibrahim as a friend.


tafseer:
And they ask you a decision about women. Say: Allah makes known to you His decision concerning them, and that which is recited to you in the Book concerning female orphans whom you do not give what is appointed for them while you desire to marry them, and concerning the weak among children, and that you should deal towards orphans with equity


tafseer:
And if a woman fears ill usage or desertion on the part of her husband, there is no blame on them, if they effect a reconciliation between them, and reconciliation is better, and avarice has been made to be present in the (people´s) minds


tafseer:
And you have it not in your power to do justice between wives, even though you may wish (it), but be not disinclined (from one) with total disinclination, so that you leave her as it were in suspense


tafseer:
And if they separate, Allah will render them both free from want out of His ampleness, and Allah is Ample-giving, Wise.


tafseer:
And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah´s and certainly We enjoined those who were given the Book before you and (We enjoin) you too that you should be careful of (your duty to) Allah


tafseer:
And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah´s, and Allah is sufficient as a Protector.


tafseer:
Whoever desires the reward of this world, then with Allah is the reward of this world and the hereafter


tafseer:
O you who believe! be maintainers of justice, bearers of witness of Allah´s sake, though it may be against your own selves or (your) parents or near relatives


tafseer:
O you who believe! believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book which He has revealed to His Messenger and the Book which He revealed before


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who believe then disbelieve, again believe and again disbelieve, then increase in disbelief, Allah will not forgive them nor guide them in the (right) path.


tafseer:
Those who take the unbelievers for guardians rather than believers. Do they seek honor from them? Then surely all honor is for Allah.


tafseer:
And indeed He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah´s communications disbelieved in and mocked at do not sit with them until they enter into some other discourse


tafseer:
Those who wait for (some misfortune to befall) you then If you have a victory from Allah they say: Were we not with you? And if there is a chance for the unbelievers, they say: Did we not acquire the mastery over you and defend you from the believers? So Allah shall Judge between you on the day of resurrection, and Allah will by no means give the unbelievers a way against the believers.


tafseer:
Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah, and He shall requite their deceit to them, and when they stand up to prayer they stand up sluggishly


tafseer:
Except those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and are sincere in their religion to Allah, these are with the believers, and Allah will grant the believers a mighty reward.


tafseer:
Why should Allah chastise you if you are grateful and believe? And Allah is the Multiplier of rewards, Knowing


tafseer:
Allah does not love the public utterance of hurtful speech unless (it be) by one to whom injustice has been done


tafseer:
If you do good openly or do it in secret or pardon an evil then surely Allah is Pardoning, Powerful.


tafseer:
Surely those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and (those who) desire to make a distinction between Allah and His messengers and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and desire to take a course between (this and) that.


tafseer:
These it is that are truly unbelievers, and We have prepared for the unbelievers a disgraceful chastisement.


tafseer:
And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them-- Allah will grant them their rewards


tafseer:
And We lifted the mountain (Sainai) over them at (the li taking of the covenant) and We said to them: Enter the door making obeisance


tafseer:
Therefore, for their breaking their covenant and their disbelief in the communications of Allah and their killing the prophets wrongfully and their saying: Our hearts are covered


tafseer:
And there is not one of the followers of the Book but most certainly believes in this before his death, and on the day of resurrection he (Isa) shall be a witness against them.


tafseer:
Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are Jews did We disallow to them the good things which had been made lawful for them and for their hindering many (people) from Allah´s way.


tafseer:
And their taking usury though indeed they were forbidden it and their devouring the property of people falsely, and We have prepared for the unbelievers from among them a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
But the firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what has been revealed to. you and what was revealed before you, and those who keep up prayers and those who give the poor-rate and the believers in Allah and the last day, these it is whom We will give a mighty reward.


tafseer:
Surely We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh, and the prophets after him, and We revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Haroun and Sulaiman and We gave to Dawood


tafseer:
And (We sent) messengers We have mentioned to you before and messengers we have not mentioned to you


tafseer:
(We sent) messengers as the givers of good news and as warners, so that people should not have a plea against Allah after the (coming of) messengers


tafseer:
But Allah bears witness by what He has revealed to you that He has revealed it with His knowledge, and the angels bear witness (also)


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from Allah´s way, they indeed have strayed off into a remote


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and act unjustly Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to a path


tafseer:
O people! surely the Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, therefore believe, (it shall be) good for you and If you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the heavens and the earth is Allah´s


tafseer:
O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth


tafseer:
The Messiah does by no means disdain that he should be a servant of Allah, nor do the angels who are near to Him, and whoever disdains His service and is proud, He will gather them all together to Himself.


tafseer:
Then as for those who believe and do good, He will pay them fully their rewards and give them more out of His grace


tafseer:
O people! surely there has come to you manifest proof from your Lord and We have sent to you clear light.


tafseer:
Then as for those who believe in Allah and hold fast by Him, He will cause them to enter into His mercy and grace and guide them to Himself on a right path.


tafseer:
They ask you for a decision of the law. Say: Allah gives you a decision concerning the person who has neither parents nor offspring


tafseer:
O you who believe! fulfill the obligations. The cattle quadrupeds are allowed to you except that which is recited to you, not violating the prohibition against game when you are entering upon the performance of the pilgrimage


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not violate the signs appointed by Allah nor the sacred month, nor (interfere with) the offerings, nor the sacrificial animals with garlands, nor those going to the sacred house seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord


tafseer:
Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that on which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, and the strangled (animal) and that beaten to death, and that killed by a fall and that killed by being smitten with the horn, and that which wild beasts have eaten, except what you slaughter, and what is sacrificed on stones set up (for idols) and that you divide by the arrows


tafseer:
They ask you as to what is allowed to them. Say: The good things are allowed to you, and what you have taught the beasts and birds of prey, training them to hunt-- you teach them of what Allah has taught you-- so eat of that which they catch for you and mention the name of Allah over it


tafseer:
O you who believe! when you rise up to prayer, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles


tafseer:
And remember the favor of Allah on you and His covenant with which He bound you firmly, when you said: We have heard and we obey, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah knows what is in the breasts.


tafseer:
O you who believe! Be upright for Allah, bearers of witness with justice, and let not hatred of a people incite you not to act equitably


tafseer:
Allah has promised to those who believe and do good deeds (that) they shall have forgiveness and a mighty reward.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject our communications, these are the companions of the name.


tafseer:
O you who believe! remember Allah´s favor on you when a people had determined to stretch forth their hands towards you, but He withheld their hands from you, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah


tafseer:
And certainly Allah made a covenant with the children of Israel, and We raised up among them twelve chieftains


tafseer:
And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of, therefore We excited among them enmity and hatred to the day of resurrection


tafseer:
O followers of the Book! indeed Our Messenger has come to you making clear to you much of what you concealed of the Book and passing over much


tafseer:
With it Allah guides him who will follow His pleasure into the ways of safety and brings them out of utter darkness into light by His will and guides them to the right path.


tafseer:
Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah-- He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could control anything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all those on the earth? And Allah´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them


tafseer:
And the Jews and the Christians say: We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for your faults? Nay, you are mortals from among those whom He has created, He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases


tafseer:
O followers of the Book! indeed Our Messenger has come to you explaining to you after a cessation of the (mission of the) messengers, lest you say: There came not to us a giver of good news or a warner, so indeed there has come to you a giver of good news and a warner


tafseer:
And when Musa said to his people: O my people! remember the favor of Allah upon you when He raised prophets among you and made you kings and gave you what He had not given to any other among the nations.


tafseer:
O my people! enter the holy land which Allah has prescribed for you and turn not on your backs for then you will turn back losers.


tafseer:
They said: O Musa! surely there is a strong race in it, and we will on no account enter it until they go out from it, so if they go out from it, then surely we will enter.


tafseer:
Two men of those who feared, upon both of whom Allah had bestowed a favor, said: Enter upon them by the gate, for when you have entered it you shall surely be victorious, and on Allah should you rely if you are believers.


tafseer:
He said: So it shall surely be forbidden to them for forty years, they shall wander about in the land, therefore do not grieve for the nation of transgressors.


tafseer:
And relate to them the story of the two sons of Adam with truth when they both offered an offering, but it was accepted from one of them and was not accepted from the other. He said: I I will most certainly slay you. (The other) said: Allah only accepts from those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
If you will stretch forth your hand towards me to slay me, I am not one to stretch forth my hand towards you to slay you surely I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds:


tafseer:
Surely I wish that you should bear the sin committed against me and your own sin, and so you would be of the inmates of the fire, and this is the recompense of the unjust.


tafseer:
Then Allah sent a crow digging up the earth so that he might show him how he should cover the dead body of his brother. He said: Woe me! do I lack the strength that I should be like this crow and cover the dead body of my brother? So he became of those who regret.


tafseer:
For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men


tafseer:
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned


tafseer:
O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful.


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, even if they had what is in the earth, all of it, and the like of it with it, that they might ransom themselves with it from the punishment of the day of resurrection, it shall not be accepted from them, and they shall have a painful punishment.


tafseer:
They would desire to go forth from the fire, and they shall not go forth from it, and they shall have a lasting punishment.


tafseer:
And (as for) the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off their hands as a punishment for what they have earned, an exemplary punishment from Allah


tafseer:
But whoever repents after his iniquity and reforms (himself), then surely Allah will turn to him (mercifully)


tafseer:
O Messenger! let not those grieve you who strive together in hastening to unbelief from among those who say with their mouths: We believe, and their hearts do not believe, and from among those who are Jews


tafseer:
And how do they make you a judge and they have the Taurat wherein is Allah´s judgment? Yet they turn back after that, and these are not the believers.


tafseer:
And We prescribed to them in it that life is for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and (that there is) reprisal in wounds


tafseer:
And We sent after them in their footsteps Isa, son of Marium, verifying what was before him of the Taurat and We gave him the Injeel in which was guidance and light, and verifying what was before it of Taurat and a guidance and an admonition for those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it, therefore judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their low desires (to turn away) from the truth that has come to you


tafseer:
And that you should judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their low desires, and be cautious of them, lest they seduce you from part of what Allah has revealed to you


tafseer:
Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that they desire? And who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure?


tafseer:
But you will see those in whose hearts is a disease hastening towards them, saying: We fear lest a calamity should befall us


tafseer:
And those who believe will say: Are these they who swore by Allah with the most forcible of their oaths that they were most surely with you? Their deeds shall go for nothing, so they shall become losers.


tafseer:
O you who believe! whoever from among you turns back from his religion, then Allah will bring a people, He shall love them and they shall love Him, lowly before the believers, mighty against the unbelievers, they shall strive hard in Allah´s way and shall not fear the censure of any censurer


tafseer:
Only Allah is your Vali and His Messenger and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow.


tafseer:
And whoever takes Allah and His messenger and those who believe for a guardian, then surely the party of Allah are they that shall be triumphant.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not take for guardians those who take your religion for a mockery and a joke, from among those who were given the Book before you and the unbelievers


tafseer:
Say: O followers of the Book! do you find fault with us (for aught) except that we believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed before, and that most of you are transgressors?


tafseer:
Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan


tafseer:
And you will see many of them striving with one another to hasten in sin and exceeding the limits, and their eating of what is unlawfully acquired


tafseer:
Why do not the learned men and the doctors of law prohibit them from their speaking of what is sinful and their eating of what is unlawfully acquired? Certainly evil is that which they work.


tafseer:
And the Jews say: The hand of Allah is tied up! Their hands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed for what they say. Nay, both His hands are spread out, He expends as He pleases


tafseer:
And if the followers of the Book had believed and guarded (against evil) We would certainly have covered their evil deeds and We would certainly have made them enter gardens of bliss


tafseer:
And if they had kept up the Taurat and the Injeel and that which was revealed to them from their Lord, they would certainly have eaten from above them and from beneath their feet there is a party of them keeping to the moderate course, and (as for) most of them, evil is that which they do


tafseer:
Say: O followers of the Book! you follow no good till you keep up the Taurat and the Injeel and that which is revealed to you from your Lord


tafseer:
Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good-- they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
Say: Do you serve besides Allah that which does not control for you any harm, or any profit? And Allah-- He is the Hearing, the Knowing.


tafseer:
Say: O followers of the Book! be not unduly immoderate in your religion, and do not follow the low desires of people who went astray before and led many astray and went astray from the right path.


tafseer:
Those who disbelieved from among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa, son of Marium


tafseer:
And had they believed in Allah and the prophet and what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them for friends but! most of them are transgressors.


tafseer:
Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians


tafseer:
And when they hear what has been revealed to the messenger you will see their eyes overflowing with tears on account of the truth that they recognize


tafseer:
And what (reason) have we that we should not believe in Allah and in the truth that has come to us, while we earnestly desire that our Lord should cause us to enter with the good people?


tafseer:
Therefore Allah rewarded them on account of what they said, with gardens in which rivers flow to abide in them


tafseer:
And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our communications, these are the companions of the flame.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not forbid (yourselves) the good things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not exceed the limits


tafseer:
And eat of the lawful and good (things) that Allah has given you, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, in Whom you believe.


tafseer:
Allah does not call you to account for what is vain in your oaths, but He calls you to account for the making of deliberate oaths


tafseer:
O you who believe! intoxicants and games of chance and (sacrificing to) stones set up and (dividing by) arrows are only an uncleanness, the Shaitan´s work


tafseer:
The Shaitan only desires to cause enmity and hatred to spring in your midst by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to keep you off from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you then desist?


tafseer:
On those who believe and do good there is no blame for what they eat, when they are careful (of their duty) and believe and do good deeds, then they are careful (of their duty) and believe, then they are careful (of their duty) and do good (to others), and Allah loves those who do good (to others).


tafseer:
O you who believe! Allah will certainly try you in respect of some game which your hands and your lances can reach, that Allah might know who fears Him in secret


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not kill game while you are on pilgrimage, and whoever among you shall kill it intentionally, the compensation (of it) is the like of what he killed, from the cattle, as two just persons among you shall judge, as an offering to be brought to the Kaaba or the expiation (of it) is the feeding of the poor or the equivalent of it in fasting, that he may taste the unwholesome result of his deed


tafseer:
Lawful to you is the game of the sea and its food, a provision for you and for the travellers, and the game of the land is forbidden to you so long as you are on pilgrimage, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, to Whom you shall be gathered.


tafseer:
Allah has made the Kaaba, the sacred house, a maintenance for the people, and the sacred month and the offerings and the sacrificial animals with garlands


tafseer:
Nothing is (incumbent) on the Messenger but to deliver (the message), and Allah knows what you do openly and what you hide.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you, and if you question about them when the Quran is being revealed, they shall be declared to you


tafseer:
Allah has not ordained (the making of) a bahirah or a saibah or a wasilah or a hami but those who disbelieve fabricate a lie against Allah, and most of them do not understand.


tafseer:
And when it is said to them, Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger, they say: That on which we found our fathers is sufficient for us. What! even though their fathers knew nothing and did not follow the right way.


tafseer:
O you who believe! call to witness between you when death draws nigh to one of you, at the time of making the will, two just persons from among you, or two others from among others than you, if you are travelling in the land and the calamity of death befalls you


tafseer:
Then if it becomes known that they both have been guilty of a sin, two others shall stand up in their place from among those who have a claim against them, the two nearest in kin


tafseer:
This is more proper in order that they should give testimony truly or fear that other oaths be given after their oaths


tafseer:
On the day when Allah will assemble the messengers, then say: What answer were you given? They shall say: We have no knowledge, surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen things.


tafseer:
When Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! Remember My favor on you and on your mother, when I strengthened you I with the holy Spirit, you spoke to the people in the cradle and I when of old age, and when I taught you the Book and the wisdom and the Taurat and the Injeel


tafseer:
And when I revealed to the disciples, saying, Believe in Me and My messenger, they said: We believe and bear witness that we submit (ourselves).


tafseer:
When the disciples said: O Isa son of Marium! will your Lord consent to send down to us food from heaven? He said: Be careful of (your duty to) Allah if you are believers.


tafseer:
They said: We desire that we should eat of it and that our hearts should be at rest, and that we may know that you have indeed spoken the truth to us and that we may be of the witnesses to it.


tafseer:
Isa the son of Marium said: O Allah, our Lord! send i down to us food from heaven which should be to us an ever-recurring happiness, to the first of us and to the last of us, and a sign from Thee, and grant us means of subsistence, and Thou art the best of the Providers.


tafseer:
Allah said: Surely I will send it down to you, but whoever shall disbelieve afterwards from among you, surely I will chastise him with a chastisement with which I will not chastise, anyone among the nations.


tafseer:
And when Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! did you say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah he will say: Glory be to Thee, it did not befit me that I should say what I had no right to (say)


tafseer:
I did not say to them aught save what Thou didst enjoin me with: That serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thou didst cause me to die, Thou wert the watcher over them, and Thou art witness of all things.


tafseer:
All praise is due to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light


tafseer:
And there does not come to them any communication of the communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it


tafseer:
Do they not consider how many a generation We have destroyed before them, whom We had established in the earth as We have not established you, and We sent the clouds pouring rain on them in abundance, and We made the rivers to flow beneath them, then We destroyed them on account of their faults and raised up after them another generation.


tafseer:
And if We had sent to you a writing on a paper, then they had touched it with their hands, certainly those who disbelieve would have said: This is nothing but clear enchantment.


tafseer:
And they say: Why has not an angel been sent down to him? And had We sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been decided and then they would not have been respited.


tafseer:
And if We had made him angel, We would certainly have made him a man, and We would certainly have made confused to them what they make confused.


tafseer:
And certainly messengers before you were mocked at, but that which they mocked at encompassed the scoffers among them.


tafseer:
Say: Shall I take a guardian besides Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds (others) and is not (Himself) fed. Say: I am commanded to be the first who submits himself, and you should not be of the polytheists.


tafseer:
And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or (he who) gives the lie to His communications


tafseer:
And on the day when We shall gather them all together, then shall We say to those who associated others (with Allah): Where are your associates whom you asserted?


tafseer:
Then their excuse would be nothing but that they would say: By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists.


tafseer:
And of them is he who hearkens to you, and We have cast veils over their hearts lest they understand it and a heaviness into their ears


tafseer:
And they prohibit (others) from it and go far away from it, and they only bring destruction upon their own souls while they do not perceive.


tafseer:
And could you see when they are made to stand before the fire, then they shall say: Would that we were sent back, and we would not reject the communications of our Lord and we would be of the believers.


tafseer:
And could you see when they are made to stand before their Lord. He will say: Is not this the truth? They will say: Yea! by our Lord. He will say: Taste then the chastisement because you disbelieved.


tafseer:
And this world´s life is naught but a play and an idle sport and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil)


tafseer:
And certainly messengers before you were rejected, but they were patient on being rejected and persecuted until Our help came to them


tafseer:
And if their turning away is hard on you, then if you can seek an opening (to go down) into the earth or a ladder (to ascend up) to heaven so that you should bring them a sign and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have gathered them all on guidance, therefore be not of the ignorant.


tafseer:
And they say: Why has not a sign been sent down to him from his Lord? Say: Surely Allah is able to send down a sign, but most of them do not know.


tafseer:
And there is no animal that walks upon the earth nor a bird that flies with its two wings but (they are) genera like yourselves


tafseer:
Say: Tell me if the chastisement of Allah should overtake you or the hour should come upon you, will you call (on others) besides Allah, if you are truthful?


tafseer:
Nay, Him you call upon, so He clears away that for which you pray if He pleases and you forget what you set up (with Him).


tafseer:
And certainly We sent (messengers) to nations before you then We seized them with distress and affliction in order that they might humble themselves.


tafseer:
Yet why did they not, when Our punishment came to them, humble themselves? But their hearts hardened and the Shaitan made what they did fair-seeming to them.


tafseer:
But when they neglected that with which they had been admonished, We opened for them the doors of all things, until when they rejoiced in what they were given We seized them suddenly


tafseer:
Say: Have you considered that if Allah takes away your hearing and your sight and sets a seal on your hearts, who is the god besides Allah that can bring it to you? See how We repeat the communications, yet they turn away.


tafseer:
Say: Have you considered if the chastisement of Allah should overtake you suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed but the unjust people?


tafseer:
And We send not messengers but as announcers of good news and givers of warning, then whoever believes and acts aright, they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who reject Our communications, chastisement shall afflict them because they transgressed.


tafseer:
Say: I do not say to you, I have with me the treasures of Allah, nor do I know the unseen, nor do I say to you that I am an angel


tafseer:
And warn with it those who fear that they shall be gathered to their Lord-- there is no guardian for them, nor any intercessor besides Him-- that they may guard (against evil).


tafseer:
And do not drive away those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, they desire only His favor


tafseer:
And thus do We try some of them by others so that they say: Are these they upon whom Allah has conferred benefit from among us? Does not Allah best know the grateful?


tafseer:
And when those who believe in Our communications come to you, say: Peace be on you, your Lord has ordained mercy on Himself, (so) that if any one of you does evil in ignorance, then turns after that and acts aright, then He is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Say: I am forbidden to serve those whom you call upon besides Allah. Say: I do not follow your low desires. for then indeed I should have gone astray and I should not be of those who go aright.


tafseer:
Say: If that which you desire to hasten were with me, the matter would have certainly been decided between you and me


tafseer:
And He it is Who takes your souls at night (in sleep), and He knows what you acquire in the day, then He raises you up therein that an appointed term may be fulfilled


tafseer:
Say: Who is it that delivers you from the dangers of the land and the sea (when) you call upon Him (openly) humiliating yourselves, and in secret: If He delivers us from this, we should certainly be of the grateful ones.


tafseer:
Say: He has the power that He should send on you a chastisement from above you or from beneath your feet, or that He should throw you into confusion, (making you) of different parties


tafseer:
And when you see those who enter into false discourses about Our communications, withdraw from them until they enter into some other discourse, and if the Shaitan causes you to forget, then do not sit after recollection with the unjust people.


tafseer:
And nought of the reckoning of their (deeds) shall be against those who guard (against evil), but (theirs) is only to remind, haply they may guard.


tafseer:
And leave those who have taken their religion for a play and an idle sport, and whom this world´s life has deceived, and remind (them) thereby lest a soul should be given up to destruction for what it has earned


tafseer:
Say: Shall we call on that besides Allah, which does not benefit us nor harm us, and shall we be returned back on our heels after Allah has guided us, like him whom the Shaitans have made to fall down perplexed in the earth? He has companions who call him to the right way, (saying): Come to us. Say: Surely the guidance of Allah, that is the (true) guidance, and we are commanded that we should submit to the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth with truth, and on the day He says: Be, it is. His word is the truth, and His is the kingdom on the day when the trumpet shall be blown


tafseer:
And when Ibrahim said to his sire, Azar: Do you take idols for gods? Surely I see you and your people in manifest error.


tafseer:
And thus did We show Ibrahim the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and that he might be of those who are sure.


tafseer:
Then when he saw the moon rising, he said: Is this my Lord? So when it set, he said: If my Lord had not guided me I should certainly be of the erring people.


tafseer:
Then when he saw the sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord? Is this the greatest? So when it set, he said: O my people! surely I am clear of what you set up (with Allah).


tafseer:
Surely I have turned myself, being upright, wholly to Him Who originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not of the polytheists.


tafseer:
And his people disputed with him. He said: Do you dispute with me respecting Allah? And He has guided me indeed


tafseer:
And how should I fear what you have set up (with Him), while you do not fear that you have set up with Allah that for which He has not sent down to you any authority


tafseer:
Those who believe and do not mix up their faith with iniquity, those are they who shall have the security and they are those who go aright.


tafseer:
And from among their fathers and their descendants and their brethren, and We chose them and guided them into the right way.


tafseer:
These are they whom Allah guided, therefore follow their guidance. Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it


tafseer:
And they do not assign to Allah the attributes due to Him when they say: Allah has not revealed anything to a mortal. Say: Who revealed the Book which Musa brought, a light and a guidance to men, which you make into scattered writings which you show while you conceal much? And you were taught what you did not know, (neither) you nor your fathers. Say: Allah then leave them sporting in their vain discourses.


tafseer:
And this is a Book We have revealed, blessed, verifying that which is before it, and that you may warn the metropolis and those around her


tafseer:
And certainly you have come to Us alone as We created you at first, and you have left behind your backs the things which We gave you, and We do not see with you your intercessors about whom you asserted that they were (Allah´s) associates in respect to you


tafseer:
And He it is Who has made the stars for you that you might follow the right way thereby in the darkness of the land and the sea


tafseer:
And He it is Who has brought you into being from a single soul, then there is (for you) a resting-place and a depository


tafseer:
And He it is Who sends down water from the cloud, then We bring forth with it buds of all (plants), then We bring forth from it green (foliage) from which We produce grain piled up (in the ear)


tafseer:
And they make the jinn associates with Allah, while He created them, and they falsely attribute to Him sons and daughters without knowledge


tafseer:
Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth! How could He have a son when He has no consort, and He (Himself) created everything, and He is the Knower of all things.


tafseer:
And if Allah had pleased, they would not have set up others (with Him) and We have not appointed you a keeper over them, and you are not placed in charge of them.


tafseer:
And do not abuse those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest exceeding the limits they should abuse Allah out of ignorance. Thus have We made fair seeming to every people their deeds


tafseer:
And they swear by Allah with the strongest of their oaths, that if a sign came to them they would most certainly believe in it. Say: Signs are only with Allah


tafseer:
And We will turn their hearts and their sights, even as they did not believe in it the first time, and We will leave them in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.


tafseer:
And even if We had sent down to them the angels and the dead had spoken to them and We had brought together all things before them, they would not believe unless Allah pleases, but most of them are ignorant.


tafseer:
And thus did We make for every prophet an enemy, the Shaitans from among men and jinn, some of them suggesting to others varnished falsehood to deceive (them), and had your Lord pleased they would not have done it, therefore leave them and that which they forge.


tafseer:
And that the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter may incline to it and that they may be well pleased with it and that they may earn what they are going to earn (of evil).


tafseer:
Shall I then seek a judge other than Allah? And He it is Who has revealed to you the Book (which is) made plain


tafseer:
Surely your Lord-- He best knows who goes astray from His way, and He best knows those who follow the right course.


tafseer:
Therefore eat of that on which Allah´s name has been mentioned if you are believers in His communications.


tafseer:
And what reason have you that you should not eat of that on which Allah´s name has been mentioned, and He has already made plain to you what He has forbidden to you-- excepting what you are compelled to


tafseer:
And do not eat of that on which Allah´s name has not been mentioned, and that is most surely a transgression


tafseer:
Is he who was dead then We raised him to life and made for him a light by which he walks among the people, like him whose likeness is that of one in utter darkness whence he cannot come forth? Thus what they did was made fair seeming to the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And thus have We made in every town the great ones to be its guilty ones, that they may plan therein


tafseer:
And when a communication comes to them they say: We will not believe till we are given the like of what Allah´s messengers are given. Allah best knows where He places His message. There shall befall those who are guilty humiliation from Allah and severe chastisement because of what they planned.


tafseer:
Therefore (for) whomsoever Allah intends that He would guide him aright, He expands his breast for Islam, and (for) whomsoever He intends that He should cause him to err, He makes his breast strait and narrow as though he were ascending upwards


tafseer:
They shall have the abode of peace with their Lord, and He is their guardian because of what they did.


tafseer:
And on the day when He shall gather them all together: O assembly of jinn! you took away a great part of mankind. And their friends from among the men shall say: Our Lord! some of us profited by others and we have reached our appointed term which Thou didst appoint for us. He shall say: The fire is your abode, to abide in it, except as Allah is pleased


tafseer:
O assembly of jinn and men! did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My communications and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shall say: We bear witness against ourselves


tafseer:
And they set apart a portion for Allah out of what He has created of tilth and cattle, and say: This is for Allah-- so they assert-- and this for our associates


tafseer:
And thus their associates have made fair seeming to most of the polytheists the killing of their children, that they may cause them to perish and obscure for them their religion


tafseer:
And they say: These are cattle and tilth prohibited, none shall eat them except such as We please-- so they assert-- and cattle whose backs are forbidden, and cattle on which they would not mention Allah´s name-- forging a lie against Him


tafseer:
And they say: What is in the wombs of these cattle is specially for our males, and forbidden to our wives, and if it be stillborn, then they are all partners in it


tafseer:
They are lost indeed who kill their children foolishly without knowledge, and forbid what Allah has given to them forging a lie against Allah


tafseer:
And He it is Who produces gardens (of vine), trellised and untrellised, and palms and seed-produce of which the fruits are of various sorts, and olives and pomegranates, like and unlike


tafseer:
Eight in pairs-- two of sheep and two of goats. Say: Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge if you are truthful.


tafseer:
And two of camels and two of cows. Say: Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined you this? Who, then, is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah that he should lead astray men without knowledge? Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.


tafseer:
Say: I do not find in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden for an eater to eat of except that it be what has died of itself, or blood poured forth, or flesh of swine-- for that surely is unclean-- or that which is a transgression, other than (the name of) Allah having been invoked on it


tafseer:
And to those who were Jews We made unlawful every animal having claws, and of oxen and sheep We made unlawful to them the fat of both, except such as was on their backs or the entrails or what was mixed with bones: this was a punishment We gave them on account of their rebellion, and We are surely Truthful.


tafseer:
Those who are polytheists will say: If Allah had pleased we would not have associated (aught with Him) nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden (to ourselves) anything


tafseer:
Say: Bring your witnesses who should bear witness that Allah has forbidden this, then if they bear witness, do not bear witness with them


tafseer:
Say: Come I will recite what your Lord has forbidden to you-- (remember) that you do not associate anything with Him and show kindness to your parents, and do not slay your children for (fear of) poverty-- We provide for you and for them-- and do not draw nigh to indecencies, those of them which are apparent and those which are concealed, and do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice


tafseer:
And do not approach the property of the orphan except in the best manner until he attains his maturity, and give full measure and weight with justice-- We do not impose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability


tafseer:
And (know) that this is My path, the right one therefore follow it, and follow not (other) ways, for they will lead you away from His way


tafseer:
Again, We gave the Book to Musa to complete (Our blessings) on him who would do good (to others), and making plain all things and a guidance and a mercy, so that they should believe in the meeting of their Lord.


tafseer:
Lest you say that the Book was only revealed to two parties before us and We were truly unaware of what they read.


tafseer:
Or lest you should say: If the Book had been revealed to us, we would certainly have been better guided than they, so indeed there has come to you clear proof from your Lord, and guidance and mercy. Who then is more unjust than he who rejects Allah´s communications and turns away from them? We will reward those who turn away from Our communications with an evil chastisement because they turned away.


tafseer:
They do not wait aught but that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord should come, or that some of the signs of your Lord should come. On the day when some of the signs of your Lord shall come, its faith shall not profit a soul which did not believe before, or earn good through its faith. Say: Wait


tafseer:
Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it, and whoever brings an evil deed, he shall be recompensed only with the like of it, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.


tafseer:
Say. Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds


tafseer:
And He it is Who has made you successors in the land and raised some of you above others by (various) grades, that He might try you by what He has given you


tafseer:
A Book revealed to you-- so let there be no straitness in your breast on account of it-- that you may warn thereby, and a reminder close to the believers.


tafseer:
Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow guardians besides Him, how little do you mind.


tafseer:
And how many a town that We destroyed, so Our punishment came to it by night or while they slept at midday.


tafseer:
Yet their cry, when Our punishment came to them, was nothing but that they said: Surely we were unjust.


tafseer:
Most certainly then We will question those to whom (the messengers) were sent, and most certainly We will also question the messengers


tafseer:
And as for him whose measure (of good deeds) is light those are they who have made their souls suffer loss because they disbelieved in Our communications.


tafseer:
And certainly We created you, then We fashioned you, then We said to the angels: Prostrate to Adam. So they did prostrate except Iblis


tafseer:
He said: What hindered you so that you did not prostrate when I commanded you? He said: I am better than he: Thou hast created me of fire, while him Thou didst create of dust.


tafseer:
He said: Then get forth from this (state), for it does not befit you to behave proudly therein. Go forth, therefore, surely you are of the abject ones.


tafseer:
He said: As Thou hast caused me to remain disappointed I will certainly lie in wait for them in Thy straight path.


tafseer:
Then I will certainly come to them from before them and from behind them, and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side


tafseer:
But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them what had been hidden from them of their evil inclinations, and he said: Your Lord has not forbidden you this tree except that you may not both become two angels or that you may (not) become of the immortals.


tafseer:
They said: Our Lord! We have been unjust to ourselves, and if Thou forgive us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers.


tafseer:
He said: Get forth, some of you, the enemies of others, and there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time.


tafseer:
O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty and clothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of the communications of Allah that they may be mindful.


tafseer:
O children of Adam! let not the Shaitan cause you to fall into affliction as he expelled your parents from the garden, pulling off from them both their clothing that he might show them their evil inclinations, he surely sees you, he as well as his host, from whence you cannot see them


tafseer:
And when they commit an indecency they say: We found our fathers doing this, and Allah has enjoined it on us. Say: Surely Allah does not enjoin indecency


tafseer:
Say: My Lord has enjoined justice, and set upright your faces at every time of prayer and call on Him, being sincere to Him in obedience


tafseer:
A part has He guided aright and (as for another) part, error is justly their due, surely they took the Shaitans for guardians beside Allah, and they think that they are followers of the right


tafseer:
O children of Adam! attend to your embellishments at every time of prayer, and eat and drink and be not extravagant


tafseer:
Say: Who has prohibited the embellishment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants and the good provisions? Say: These are for the believers in the life of this world, purely (theirs) on the resurrection day


tafseer:
Say: My Lord has only prohibited indecencies, those of them that are apparent as well as those that are concealed, and sin and rebellion without justice, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down any authority, and that you say against Allah what you do not know.


tafseer:
And for every nation there is a doom, so when their doom is come they shall not remain behind the least while, nor shall they go before.


tafseer:
O children of Adam! if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My communications, then whoever shall guard (against evil) and act aright-- they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who reject Our communications and turn away from them haughtily-- these are the inmates of the fire they shall abide in it.


tafseer:
Who is then more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or rejects His communications? (As for) those, their portion of the Book shall reach them, until when Our messengers come to them causing them to die, they shall say: Where is that which you used to call upon besides Allah? They would say: They are gone away from us


tafseer:
He will say: Enter into fire among the nations that have passed away before you from among jinn and men


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who reject Our communications and turn away from them haughtily, the doors of heaven shall not be opened for them, nor shall they enter the garden until the camel pass through the eye of the needle


tafseer:
And (as for) those who believe and do good We do not impose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability-- they are the dwellers of the garden


tafseer:
And the dwellers of the garden will call out to the inmates of the fire: Surely we have found what our Lord promised us to be true


tafseer:
Who hinder (people) from Allah´s way and seek to make it crooked, and they are disbelievers in the hereafter.


tafseer:
And between the two there shall be a veil, and on the most elevated places there shall be men who know all by their marks, and they shall call out to the dwellers of the garden: Peace be on you


tafseer:
And when their eyes shall be turned towards the inmates of the fire, they shall say: Our Lord! place us not with the unjust


tafseer:
And the dwellers of the most elevated places shall ca!l out to men whom they will recognize by their marks saying: Of no avail were to you your amassings and your behaving haughtily:


tafseer:
And the inmates of the fire shall call out to the dwellers of the garden, saying: Pour on us some water or of that which Allah has given you. They shall say: Surely Allah has prohibited them both to the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And certainly We have brought them a Book which We have made clear with knowledge, a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.


tafseer:
Do they wait for aught but its final sequel? On the day when its final sequel comes about, those who neglected it before will say: Indeed the messengers of our Lord brought the truth


tafseer:
Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods of time, and He is firm in power


tafseer:
And He it is Who sends forth the winds bearing good news before His mercy, until, when they bring up a laden cloud, We drive it to a dead land, then We send down water on it, then bring forth with it of fruits of all kinds


tafseer:
And as for the good land, its vegetation springs forth (abundantly) by the permission of its Lord, and (as for) that which is inferior (its herbage) comes forth but scantily


tafseer:
Certainly We sent Nuh to his people, so he said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him


tafseer:
I deliver to you the messages of my Lord, and I offer you good advice and I know from Allah what you do not know.


tafseer:
What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you, that he might warn you and that you might guard (against evil) and so that mercy may be shown to you?


tafseer:
But they called him a liar, so We delivered him and those with him in the ark, and We drowned those who rejected Our communications


tafseer:
And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him


tafseer:
The chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: Most surely we see you in folly, and most surely we think you to be of the liars.


tafseer:
What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you that he might warn you? And remember when He made you successors after Nuh´s people and increased you in excellence in respect of make


tafseer:
They said: Have you come to us that we may serve Allah alone and give up what our fathers used to serve? Then bring to us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones.


tafseer:
So We delivered him and those with him by mercy from Us, and We cut off the last of those who rejected Our communications and were not believers.


tafseer:
And to Samood (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him


tafseer:
And remember when He made you successors after Ad and settled you in the land-- you make mansions on its plains and hew out houses in the mountains-- remember therefore Allah´s benefits and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief.


tafseer:
The chief of those who behaved proudly among his people said to those who were considered weak, to those who believed from among them: Do you know that Salih is sent by his Lord? They said: Surely we are believers in what he has been sent with


tafseer:
So they slew the she-camel and revolted against their Lord´s commandment, and they said: O Salih! bring us what you threatened us with, if you are one of the messengers.


tafseer:
Then he turned away from them and said: O my people I did certainly deliver to you the message of my Lord, and I gave you good advice, but you do not love those who give good advice.


tafseer:
And (We sent) Lut when he said to his people: What! do you commit an indecency which any one in the world has not done before you?


tafseer:
And the answer of his people was no other than that they said: Turn them out of your town, surely they are a people who seek to purify (themselves).


tafseer:
And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu´aib. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him


tafseer:
And do not lie in wait in every path, threatening and turning away from Allah´s way him who believes in Him and seeking to make it crooked


tafseer:
And if there is a party of you who believe in that with which am sent, and another party who do not believe, then wait patiently until Allah judges between us


tafseer:
The chiefs, those who were proud from among his people said: We will most certainly turn you out, O Shu´aib, and (also


tafseer:
Indeed we shall have forged a lie against Allah If we go back to your religion after Allah has delivered us from It, and it befits us not that we should go back to it, except if Allah our Lord please: Our Lord comprehends all things in His knowledge


tafseer:
And the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: If you follow Shu´aib, you shall then most surely be losers


tafseer:
So he turned away from them and said: O my people! certainly I delivered to you the messages of my Lord and I gave you good advice


tafseer:
And We did not send a prophet in a town but We overtook its people with distress and affliction in order that they might humble themselves.


tafseer:
Then We gave them good in the place of evil until they became many and said: Distress and happiness did indeed befall our fathers. Then We took them by surprise while they did not perceive.


tafseer:
And if the people of the towns had believed and guarded (against evil) We would certainly have opened up for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they rejected, so We overtook them for what they had earned.


tafseer:
What! do the people of the towns then feel secure from Our punishment coming to them by night while they sleep?


tafseer:
What! do the people of the towns feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they play?


tafseer:
What! do they then feel secure from Allah´s plan? But none feels secure from Allah´s plan except the people who shall perish.


tafseer:
Is it not clear to those who inherit the earth after its (former) residents that if We please We would afflict them on account of their faults and set a seal on their hearts so they would not hear.


tafseer:
These towns-- We relate to you some of their stories, and certainly their messengers came to them with clear arguments, but they would not believe in what they rejected at first


tafseer:
And We did not find in most of them any (faithfulness to) covenant, and We found most of them to be certainly transgressors.


tafseer:
Then we raised after them Musa with Our communications to Firon and his chiefs, but they disbelieved in them


tafseer:
(I am) worthy of not saying anything about Allah except the truth: I have come to you indeed with clear proof from your Lord, therefore send with me the children of Israel


tafseer:
And the enchanters came to Firon (and) said: We must surely have a reward if we are the prevailing ones.


tafseer:
He said: Cast. So when they cast, they deceived the people´s eyes and frightened them, and they produced a mighty enchantment.


tafseer:
Firon said: Do you believe in Him before I have given you permission? Surely this is a plot which you have secretly devised in this city, that you may turn out of it its people, but you shall know:


tafseer:
I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, then will I crucify you all together.


tafseer:
And you do not take revenge on us except because we have believed in the communications of our Lord when they came to us! Our Lord: Pour out upon us patience and cause us to die in submission.


tafseer:
And the chiefs of Firon´s people said: Do you leave Musa and his people to make mischief in the land and to forsake you and your gods? He said: We will slay their sons and spare their women, and surely we are masters over them.


tafseer:
They said: We have been persecuted before you came to us and since you have come to us. He said: It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you rulers in the land, then He will see how you act.


tafseer:
And certainly We overtook Firon´s people with droughts and diminution of fruits that they may be mindful.


tafseer:
Therefore We sent upon them widespread death, and the locusts and the lice and the frog and the blood, clear signs


tafseer:
And when the plague fell upon them, they said: O Musa! pray for us to your Lord as He has promised with you, if you remove the plague from us, we will certainly believe in you and we will certainly send away with you the children of Israel.


tafseer:
But when We removed the plague from them till a term which they should attain lo! they broke (the promise).


tafseer:
Therefore We inflicted retribution on them and drowned them in the sea because they rejected Our signs and were heedless of them.


tafseer:
And We made the people who were deemed weak to mhent the eastern lands and the western ones which We had blessed


tafseer:
(As to) these, surely that about which they are shall be brought to naught and that which they do is vain.


tafseer:
He said: What! shall I seek for you a god other than Allah while He has made you excel (all) created things?


tafseer:
And when We delivered you from Firon´s people who subjected you to severe torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and in this there was a great trial from your Lord.


tafseer:
And We appointed with Musa a time of thirty nights and completed them with ten (more), so the appointed time of his Lord was complete forty nights, and Musa said to his brother Haroun: Take my place among my people, and act well and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers.


tafseer:
And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee. He said: You cannot (bear to) see Me but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then will you see Me


tafseer:
He said: O Musa! surely I have chosen you above the people with My messages and with My words, therefore take hold of what I give to you and be of the grateful ones.


tafseer:
And (as to) those who reject Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter, their deeds are null. Shall they be rewarded except for what they have done?


tafseer:
And Musa´s people made of their ornaments a calf after him, a (mere) body, which gave a mooing sound. What! could they not see that it did not speak to them nor guide them in the way? They took it (for worship) and they were unjust.


tafseer:
And when they repented and saw that they had gone astray, they said: If our Lord show not mercy to us and forgive us we shall certainly be of the losers.


tafseer:
And when Musa returned to his people, wrathful (and) in violent grief, he said: Evil is it that you have done after me


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! forgive me and my brother and cause us to enter into Thy mercy, and Thou art the most Merciful of the merciful ones.


tafseer:
(As for) those who took the calf (for a god), surely wrath from their Lord and disgrace in this world´s life shall overtake them, and thus do We recompense the devisers of lies.


tafseer:
And (as to) those who do evil deeds, then repent after that and believe, your Lord after that is most surely Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And when Musa´s anger calmed down he took up the tablets, and in the writing thereof was guidance and mercy for those who fear for the sake of their Lord.


tafseer:
And ordain for us good in this world´s life and in the hereafter, for surely we turn to Thee. He said: (As for) My chastisement, I will afflict with it whom I please, and My mercy encompasses all things


tafseer:
Those who follow the Messenger-Prophet, the Ummi, whom they find written down with them in the Taurat and the Injeel (who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil, and makes lawful to them the good things and makes unlawful to them impure things, and removes from them their burden and the shackles which were upon them


tafseer:
Say: O people! surely I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, of Him Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth there is no god but He


tafseer:
And of Musa´s people was a party who guided (people) with the truth, and thereby did they do justice.


tafseer:
And when it was said to them: Reside in this town and eat from it wherever you wish, and say, Put down from us our heavy burdens: and enter the gate making obeisance, We will forgive you your wrongs: We will give more to those who do good (to others).


tafseer:
But those who were unjust among them changed it for a saying other than that which had been spoken to them


tafseer:
And when a party of them said: Why do you admonish a with a severe chastisement? They said: To be free from blame before your Lord, and that haply they may guard (against evil).


tafseer:
So when they neglected what they had been reminded of, We delivered those who forbade evil and We overtook those who were unjust with an evil chastisement because they transgressed.


tafseer:
Therefore when they revoltingly persisted in what they had been forbidden, We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised and hated.


tafseer:
And when your Lord announced that He would certainly send against them to the day of resurrection those who would subject them to severe torment


tafseer:
And We cut them up on the earth into parties, (some) of them being righteous and (others) of them falling short of that, and We tried them with blessings and misfortunes that they might turn.


tafseer:
Then there came after them an evil posterity who inherited the Book, taking only the frail good of this low life and saying: It will be forgiven us. And if the like good came to them, they would take it (too). Was not a promise taken from them in the Book that they would not speak anything about Allah but the truth, and they have read what is in it


tafseer:
And (as for) those who hold fast by the Book and keep up prayer, surely We do not waste the reward of the right doers.


tafseer:
And when We shook the mountain over them as if it were a covering overhead, and they thought that it was going to fall down upon them: Take hold of what We have given you with firmness, and be mindful of what is in it, so that you may guard (against evil).


tafseer:
And when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them bear witness against their own souls: Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes! we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of resurrection: Surely we were heedless of this.


tafseer:
Or you should say: Only our fathers associated others (with Allah) before, and we were an offspring after them: Wilt Thou then destroy us for what the vain doers did?


tafseer:
And recite to them the narrative of him to whom We give Our communications, but he withdraws himself from them, so the Shaitan overtakes him, so he is of those who go astray.


tafseer:
And Allah´s are the best names, therefore call on Him thereby, and leave alone those who violate the sanctity of His names


tafseer:
And of those whom We have created are a people who guide with the truth and thereby they do justice.


tafseer:
And (as to) those who reject Our communications, We draw them near (to destruction) by degrees from whence they know not.


tafseer:
Do they not consider the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever things Allah has created, and that may be their doom shall have drawn nigh


tafseer:
They ask you about the hour, when will be its taking place? Say: The knowledge of it is only with my Lord


tafseer:
He it is Who created you from a single being, and of the same (kind) did He make his mate, that he might incline to her


tafseer:
What! they associate (with Him) that which does not create any thing, while they are themselves created!


tafseer:
Have they feet with which they walk, or have they hands with which they hold, or have they eyes with which they see, or have they ears with which they hear? Say: Call your associates, then make a struggle (to prevail) against me and give me no respite.


tafseer:
Surely those who guard (against evil), when a visitation from the Shaitan afflicts them they become mindful, then lo! they see.


tafseer:
And when you bring them not a revelation they say: Why do you not forge it? Say: I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord


tafseer:
And remember your Lord within yourself humbly and fearing and in a voice not loud in the morning and the evening and be not of the heedless ones.


tafseer:
Surely those who are with your Lord are not too proud to serve Him, and they declare His glory and prostrate in humility before Him.


tafseer:
They ask you about the windfalls. Say: The windfalls are for Allah and the Messenger. So be careful of (your duty to) Allah and set aright matters of your difference, and obey Allah and His Messenger if you are believers.


tafseer:
Those only are believers whose hearts become full of fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His communications are recited to them they increase them in faith, and in their Lord do they trust.


tafseer:
Even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your house with the truth, though a party of the believers were surely averse


tafseer:
They disputed with you about the truth after it had become clear, (and they went forth) as if they were being driven to death while they saw (it).


tafseer:
And when Allah promised you one of the two parties that it shall be yours and you loved that the one not armed should he yours and Allah desired to manifest the truth of what was true by His words and to cut off the root of the unbelievers.


tafseer:
That He may manifest the truth of what was true and show the falsehood of what was false, though the guilty disliked.


tafseer:
When you sought aid from your Lord, so He answered you: I will assist you with a thousand of the angels following one another.


tafseer:
When He caused calm to fall on you as a security from Him and sent down upon you water from the cloud that He might thereby purify you, and take away from you the uncleanness of the Shaitan, and that He might fortify your hearts and steady (your) footsteps thereby.


tafseer:
When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.


tafseer:
O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them.


tafseer:
And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah´s wrath, and his abode is hell


tafseer:
So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself


tafseer:
And if Allah had known any good in them He would have made them hear, and if He makes them hear they would turn back while they withdraw.


tafseer:
O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life


tafseer:
And remember when you were few, deemed weak in the land, fearing lest people might carry you off by force, but He sheltered you and strengthened you with His aid and gave you of the good things that you may give thanks.


tafseer:
O you who believe! be not unfaithful to Allah and the Messenger, nor be unfaithful to your trusts while you know.


tafseer:
And know that your property and your children are a temptation, and that Allah is He with Whom there is a mighty reward.


tafseer:
O you who believe! If you are careful of (your duty to) Allah, He will grant you a distinction and do away with your evils and forgive you


tafseer:
And when those who disbelieved devised plans against you that they might confine you or slay you or drive you away


tafseer:
And when they said: O Allah! if this is the truth from Thee, then rain upon us stones from heaven or inflict on us a painful punishment.


tafseer:
But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness.


tafseer:
And what (excuse) have they that Allah should not chastise them while they hinder (men) from the Sacred Mosque and they are not (fit to be) guardians of it


tafseer:
That Allah might separate the impure from the good, and put the impure, some of it upon the other, and pile it up together, then cast it into hell


tafseer:
And know that whatever thing you gain, a fifth of it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if you believe in Allah and in that which We revealed to Our servant, on the day of distinction, the day on which the two parties met


tafseer:
When you were on the nearer side (of the valley) and they were on the farthest side, while the caravan was in a lower place than you


tafseer:
And when He showed them to you, when you met, as few in your eyes and He made you to appear little in their eyes, in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, and to Allah are all affairs returned.


tafseer:
O you who believe! when you meet a party, then be firm, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.


tafseer:
And obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient


tafseer:
And be not like those who came forth from their homes in great exultation and to be seen of men, and (who) turn away from the way of Allah, and Allah comprehends what they do.


tafseer:
And when the Shaitan made their works fair seeming to them, and said: No one can overcome you this day, and surely I am your protector: but when the two parties came in sight of each other he turned upon his heels, and said: Surely I am clear of you, surely I see what you do not see, surely I fear Allah


tafseer:
And had you seen when the angels will cause to die those who disbelieve, smiting their faces and their backs, and (saying): Taste the punishment of burning.


tafseer:
This is for what your own hands have sent on before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants


tafseer:
This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition


tafseer:
Surely the vilest of animals in Allah´s sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe.


tafseer:
Those with whom you make an agreement, then they break their agreement every time and they do not guard (against punishment).


tafseer:
Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making an example of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be mindful.


tafseer:
And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them


tafseer:
It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land


tafseer:
Were it not for an ordinance from Allah that had already gone forth, surely there would have befallen you a great chastisement for what you had taken to.


tafseer:
Eat then of the lawful and good (things) which you have acquired in war, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah


tafseer:
O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, so indeed they acted unfaithfully towards Allah before, but He gave (you) mastery over them


tafseer:
Surely those who believed and fled (their homes) and struggled hard in Allah´s way with their property and their souls, and those who gave shelter and helped-- these are guardians of each other


tafseer:
And (as for) those who believed and fled and struggled hard in Allah´s way, and those who gave shelter and helped, these are the believers truly


tafseer:
And (as for) those who believed afterwards and fled and struggled hard along with you, they are of you


tafseer:
(This is a declaration of) immunity by Allah and His Messenger towards those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement.


tafseer:
So go about in the land for four months and know that you cannot weaken Allah and that Allah will bring disgrace to the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters


tafseer:
Except those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement, then they have not failed you in anything and have not backed up any one against you, so fulfill their agreement to the end of their term


tafseer:
So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them


tafseer:
And if one of the idolaters seek protection from you, grant him protection till he hears the word of Allah, then make him attain his place of safety


tafseer:
How (can it be)! while if they prevail against you, they would not pay regard in your case to ties of relationship, nor those of covenant


tafseer:
And if they break their oaths after their agreement and (openly) revile your religion, then fight the leaders of unbelief-- surely their oaths are nothing-- so that they may desist.


tafseer:
What! will you not fight a people who broke their oaths and aimed at the expulsion of the Messenger, and they attacked you first


tafseer:
Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.


tafseer:
What! do you think that you will be left alone while Allah has not yet known those of you who have struggled hard and have not taken any one as an adherent besides Allah and His Messenger and the believers


tafseer:
The idolaters have no right to visit the mosques of Allah while bearing witness to unbelief against themselves, these it is whose doings are null, and in the fire shall they abide.


tafseer:
Only he shall visit the mosques of Allah who believes in Allah and the latter day, and keeps up prayer and pays the poor-rate and fears none but Allah


tafseer:
What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day and strives hard in Allah´s way? They are not equal with Allah


tafseer:
Those who believed and fled (their homes), and strove hard in Allah´s way with their property and their souls, are much higher in rank with Allah


tafseer:
Their Lord gives them good news of mercy from Himself and (His) good pleasure and gardens, wherein lasting blessings shall be theirs


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not take your fathers and your brothers for guardians if they love unbelief more than belief


tafseer:
Say: If your fathers and your sons and your brethren and your mates and your kinsfolk and property which you have acquired, and the slackness of trade which you fear and dwellings which you like, are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His way, then wait till Allah brings about His command: and Allah does not guide the transgressing people.


tafseer:
Certainly Allah helped you in many battlefields and on the day of Hunain, when your great numbers made you vain, but they availed you nothing and the earth became strait to you notwithstanding its spaciousness, then you turned back retreating.


tafseer:
Then Allah sent down His tranquillity upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and sent down hosts which you did not see, and chastised those who disbelieved, and that is the reward of the unbelievers.


tafseer:
O you who believe! the idolaters are nothing but unclean, so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year


tafseer:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.


tafseer:
They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined that they should serve one Allah only, there is no god but He


tafseer:
They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse.


tafseer:
He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse.


tafseer:
O you who believe! most surely many of the doctors of law and the monks eat away the property of men falsely, and turn (them) from Allah´s way


tafseer:
On the day when it shall be heated in the fire of hell, then their foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be branded with it


tafseer:
Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah´s ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these four being sacred


tafseer:
Postponing (of the sacred month) is only an addition in unbelief, wherewith those who disbelieve are led astray, violating it one year and keeping it sacred another, that they may agree in the number (of months) that Allah has made sacred, and thus violate what Allah has made sacred


tafseer:
O you who believe! What (excuse) have you that when it is said to you: Go forth in Allah´s way, you should incline heavily to earth


tafseer:
If you do not go forth, He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you, and you will do Him no harm


tafseer:
If you will not aid him, Allah certainly aided him when those who disbelieved expelled him, he being the second of the two, when they were both in the cave, when he said to his companion: Grieve not, surely Allah is with us. So Allah sent down His tranquillity upon him and strengthened him with hosts which you did not see, and made lowest the word of those who disbelieved


tafseer:
Had it been a near advantage and a short journey, they would certainly have followed you, but the tedious journey was too long for them


tafseer:
Allah pardon you! Why did you give them leave until those who spoke the truth had become manifest to you and you had known the liars?


tafseer:
They do not ask leave of you who believe in Allah and the latter day (to stay away) from striving hard with their property and their persons, and Allah knows those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
They only ask leave of you who do not believe in Allah and the latter day and their hearts are in doubt, so in their doubt do they waver.


tafseer:
And if they had intended to go forth, they would certainly have provided equipment for it, but Allah did not like their going forth, so He withheld them, and it was said (to them): Hold back with those who hold back.


tafseer:
Had they gone forth with you, they would not have added to you aught save corruption, and they would certainly have hurried about among you seeking (to sow) dissension among you, and among you there are those who hearken for their sake


tafseer:
Certainly they sought (to sow) dissension before, and they meditated plots against you until the truth came, and Allah´s commandment prevailed although they were averse (from it).


tafseer:
And among them there is he who says: Allow me and do not try me. Surely into trial have they already tumbled down, and most surely hell encompasses the unbelievers.


tafseer:
If good befalls you, it grieves them, and if hardship afflicts you, they say: Indeed we had taken care of our affair before


tafseer:
Say: Do you await for us but one of two most excellent things? And we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself or by our hands. So wait


tafseer:
And nothing hinders their spendings being accepted from them, except that they disbelieve in Allah and in His Messenger and they do not come to prayer but while they are sluggish, and they do not spend but while they are unwilling.


tafseer:
And they swear by Allah that they are most surely of you, and they are not of you, but they are a people who are afraid (of you).


tafseer:
If they could find a refuge or cave or a place to enter into, they would certainly have turned thereto, running away in all haste.


tafseer:
And if they were content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and had said: Allah is sufficient for us


tafseer:
Alms are only for the poor and the needy, and the officials (appointed) over them, and those whose hearts are made to incline (to truth) and the (ransoming of) captives and those in debts and in the way of Allah and the wayfarer


tafseer:
And there are some of them who molest the Prophet and say: He is one who believes every thing that he hears


tafseer:
They swear to you by Allah that they might please you and, Allah, as well as His Messenger, has a greater right that they should please Him, if they are believers.


tafseer:
Do they not know that whoever acts in opposition to Allah and His Messenger, he shall surely have the fire of hell to abide in it? That is the grievous abasement.


tafseer:
The hypocrites fear lest a chapter should be sent down to them telling them plainly of what is in their hearts. Say: Go on mocking, surely Allah will bring forth what you fear.


tafseer:
And if you should question them, they would certainly say: We were only idly discoursing and sporting. Say: Was it at Allah and His communications and His Messenger that you mocked?


tafseer:
Allah has promised the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the unbelievers the fire of hell to abide therein


tafseer:
Allah has promised to the believing men and the believing women gardens, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them, and goodly dwellings in gardens of perpetual abode


tafseer:
They swear by Allah that they did not speak, and certainly they did speak, the word of unbelief, and disbelieved after their Islam, and they had determined upon what they have not been able to effect, and they did not find fault except because Allah and His Messenger enriched them out of His grace


tafseer:
And there are those of them who made a covenant with Allah: If He give us out of His grace, we will certainly give alms and we will certainly be of the good.


tafseer:
But when He gave them out of His grace, they became niggardly of it and they turned back and they withdrew.


tafseer:
So He made hypocrisy to follow as a consequence into their hearts till the day when they shall meet Him because they failed to perform towards Allah what they had promised with Him and because they told lies.


tafseer:
Do they not know that Allah knows their hidden thoughts and their secret counsels, and that Allah is the great Knower of the unseen things?


tafseer:
They who taunt those of the faithful who give their alms freely, and those who give to the extent of their earnings and scoff at them


tafseer:
Those who were left behind were glad on account of their sitting behind Allah´s Messenger and they were averse from striving in Allah´s way with their property and their persons, and said: Do not go forth in the heat. Say: The fire of hell is much severe in heat. Would that they understood (it).


tafseer:
Therefore if Allah brings you back to a party of them and then they ask your permission to go forth, say: By no means shall you ever go forth with me and by no means shall you fight an enemy with me


tafseer:
And whenever a chapter is revealed, saying: Believe in Allah and strive hard along with His Messenger, those having ampleness of means ask permission of you and say: Leave us (behind), that we may be with those who sit.


tafseer:
They preferred to be with those who remained behind, and a seal is set on their hearts so they do not understand.


tafseer:
And the defaulters from among the dwellers of the desert came that permission may be given to them and they sat (at home) who lied to Allah and His Messenger


tafseer:
It shall be no crime in the weak, nor in the sick, nor in those who do not find what they should spend (to stay behind), so long as they are sincere to Allah and His Messenger


tafseer:
Nor in those who when they came to you that you might carry them, you said: I cannot find that on which to carry you


tafseer:
They will excuse themselves to you when you go back to them. Say: Urge no excuse, by no means will we believe you


tafseer:
The dwellers of the desert are very hard in unbelief and hypocrisy, and more disposed not to know the limits of what Allah has revealed to His Messenger


tafseer:
And of the dwellers of the desert are those who take what they spend to be a fine, and they wait (the befalling of) calamities to you


tafseer:
And of the dwellers of the desert are those who believe in Allah and the latter day and take what they spend to be (means of) the nearness of Allah and the Messenger´s prayers


tafseer:
And (as for) the foremost, the first of the Muhajirs and the Ansars, and those who followed them in goodness, Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flOw, to abide in them for ever


tafseer:
And from among those who are round about you of the dwellers of the desert there are hypocrites, and from among the people of Medina (also)


tafseer:
Do they not know that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and takes the alms, and that Allah is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful?


tafseer:
And others are made to await Allah´s command, whether He chastise them or whether He turn to them (mercifully), and Allah is Knowing, Wise.


tafseer:
And those who built a masjid to cause harm and for unbelief and to cause disunion among the believers and an ambush to him who made war against Allah and His Messenger before


tafseer:
Is he, therefore, better who lays his foundation on fear of Allah and (His) good pleasure, or he who lays his foundation on the edge of a cracking hollowed bank, so it broke down with him into the fire of hell


tafseer:
The building which they have built will ever continue to be a source of disquiet in their hearts, except that their hearts get cut into pieces


tafseer:
Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden


tafseer:
They who turn (to Allah), who serve (Him), who praise (Him), who fast, who bow down, who prostrate themselves, who enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and who keep the limits of Allah


tafseer:
It is not (fit) for the Prophet and those who believe that they should ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even though they should be near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are inmates of the flaming fire.


tafseer:
Certainly Allah has turned (mercifully) to the Prophet and those who fled (their homes) and the helpers who followed him in the hour of straitness after the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate, then He turned to them (mercifully)


tafseer:
And to the three who were left behind, until the earth became strait to them notwithstanding its spaciousness and their souls were also straitened to them


tafseer:
It did not beseem the people of Medina and those round about them of the dwellers of the desert to remain behind the Messenger of Allah, nor should they desire (anything) for themselves in preference to him


tafseer:
Nor do they spend anything that may be spent, small or great, nor do they traverse a valley, but it is written down to their credit, that Allah may reward them with the best of what they have done.


tafseer:
O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness


tafseer:
And whenever a chapter is revealed, there are some of them who say: Which of you has it strengthened in faith? Then as for those who believe, it strengthens them in faith and they rejoice.


tafseer:
And as for those in whose hearts is a disease, it adds uncleanness to their uncleanness and they die while they are unbelievers.


tafseer:
Do they not see that they are tried once or twice in every year, yet they do not turn (to Allah) nor do they mind.


tafseer:
And whenever a chapter is revealed, they cast glances at one another: Does any one see you? Then they turn away: Allah has turned away their hearts because they are a people who do not understand.


tafseer:
What! is it a wonder to the people that We revealed to a man from among themselves, saying: Warn the people and give good news to those who believe that theirs is a footing of firmness with their Lord. The unbelievers say: This is most surely a manifest enchanter.


tafseer:
Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, and He is firm in power, regulating the affair, there is no intercessor except aher His permission


tafseer:
He it is Who made the sun a shining brightness and the moon a light, and ordained for it mansions that you might know the computation of years and the reckoning. Allah did not create it but with truth


tafseer:
Most surely in the variation of the night and the day, and what Allah has created in the heavens and the earth, there are signs for a people who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
Surely those who do not hope in Our meeting and are pleased with this world´s life and are content with it, and those who are heedless of Our communications:


tafseer:
And if Allah should hasten the evil to men as they desire the hastening on of good, their doom should certainly have been decreed for them


tafseer:
And certainly We did destroy generations before you when they were unjust, and their messengers had come to them with clear arguments, and they would not believe


tafseer:
And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who hope not for Our meeting say: Bring a Quran other than this or change it. Say: It does not beseem me that I should change it of myself


tafseer:
Say: If Allah had desired (otherwise) I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have taught it to you


tafseer:
Who is then more unjust than who forges a lie against Allah or (who) gives the lie to His communications? Surely the guilty shall not be successful.


tafseer:
And they serve beside Allah what can neither harm them nor profit them, and they say: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Do you (presume to) inform Allah of what He knows not in the heavens and the earth? Glory be to Him, and supremely exalted is He above what they set up (with Him).


tafseer:
And when We make people taste of mercy after an affliction touches them, lo! they devise plans against Our communication. Say: Allah is quicker to plan


tafseer:
But when He delivers them, lo! they are unjustly rebellious in the earth. O men! your rebellion is against your own souls-- provision (only) of this world´s life-- then to Us shall be your return, so We will inform you of what you did.


tafseer:
The likeness of this world´s life is only as water which We send down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth of which men and cattle eat grows luxuriantly thereby, until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed


tafseer:
And (as for) those who have earned evil, the punishment of an evil is the like of it, and abasement shall come upon them-- they shall have none to protect them from Allah-- as if their faces had been covered with slices of the dense darkness of night


tafseer:
And on the day when We will gather them all together, then We will say to those who associated others (with Allah): Keep where you are, you and your associates


tafseer:
Therefore Allah is sufficient as a witness between us and you that we were quite unaware of your serving (us).


tafseer:
There shall every soul become acquainted with what it sent before, and they shall be brought back to Allah, their true Patron, and what they devised shall escape from them.


tafseer:
Say: Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth? Or Who controls the hearing and the sight? And Who brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living? And Who regulates the affairs? Then they will say: Allah. Say then: Will you not then guard (against evil)?


tafseer:
Say: Is there any one among your associates who can bring into existence the creation in the first instance, then reproduce it? Say: Allah brings the creation into existence, then He reproduces it


tafseer:
Say: Is there any of your associates who guides to the truth? Say: Allah guides to the truth. Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you


tafseer:
And this Quran is not such as could be forged by those besides Allah, but it is a verification of that which is before it and a clear explanation of the book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: Then bring a chapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.


tafseer:
Nay, they reject that of which they have no comprehensive knowledge, and the final sequel of it has not yet come to them


tafseer:
And of them is he who believes in it, and of them is he who does not believe in it, and your Lord best knows the mischief-makers.


tafseer:
And there are those of them who hear you, but can you make the deaf to hear though they will not understand?


tafseer:
And there are those of them who look at you, but can you show the way to the blind though they will not see?


tafseer:
And on the day when He will gather them as though they had not stayed but an hour of the day, they will know each other. They will perish indeed who called the meeting with Allah to be a lie, and they are not followers of the right direction.


tafseer:
And if We show you something of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die, yet to Us is their return, and Allah is the bearer of witness to what they do.


tafseer:
Say: Tell me if His punishment overtakes you by night or by day! what then is there of it that the guilty would hasten on?


tafseer:
And when it comes to pass, will you believe in it? What! now (you believe), and already you wished to have it hastened on.


tafseer:
And they ask you: Is that true? Say: Aye! by my Lord! it is most surely the truth, and you will not escape.


tafseer:
And if every soul that has done injustice had all that is in the earth, it would offer it for ransom, and they will manifest regret when they see the chastisement and the matter shall be decided between them with justice and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.


tafseer:
O men! there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy for the believers.


tafseer:
Say: Tell me what Allah has sent down for you of sustenance, then you make (a part) of it unlawful and (a part) lawful. Say: Has Allah commanded you, or do you forge a lie against Allah?


tafseer:
And what will be the thought of those who forge lies against Allah on the day of resurrection? Most surely Allah is the Lord of grace towards men, but most of them do not give thanks.


tafseer:
And you are not (engaged) in any affair, nor do you recite concerning it any portion of the Quran, nor do you do any work but We are witnesses over you when you enter into it, and there does not lie concealed from your Lord the weight of an atom in the earth or in the heaven, nor any thing less than that nor greater, but it is in a clear book.


tafseer:
They say: Allah has taken a son (to Himself)! Glory be to Him: He is the Self-sufficient: His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth


tafseer:
And recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to his people: O my people! if my stay and my reminding (you) by the communications of Allah is hard on you-- yet on Allah do I rely-- then resolve upon your affair and (gather) your associates, then let not your affair remain dubious to you, then have it executed against me and give me no respite:


tafseer:
But they rejected him, so We delivered him and those with him in the ark, and We made them rulers and drowned those who rejected Our communications


tafseer:
Then did We raise up after him messengers to their people, so they came to them with clear arguments, but they would not believe in what they had rejected before


tafseer:
Then did We send up after them Musa and Haroun to Firon and his chiefs with Our signs, but they showed pride and they were a guilty people.


tafseer:
Musa said: Do you say (this) of the truth when it has come to you? Is it magic? And the magicians are not successful.


tafseer:
They said: Have you come to us to turn us away from what we found our fathers upon, and (that) greatness in the land should be for you two? And we are not going to believe in you.


tafseer:
And Allah will show the truth to be the truth by His words, though the guilty may be averse (to it).


tafseer:
But none believed in Musa except the offspring of his people, on account of the fear of Firon and their chiefs, lest he should persecute them


tafseer:
And Musa said: O my people! if you believe in Allah, then rely on Him (alone) if you submit (to Allah).


tafseer:
So they said: On Allah we rely: O our Lord! make us not subject to the persecution of the unjust people:


tafseer:
And We revealed to Musa and his brother, saying: Take for your people houses to abide in Egypt and make your houses places of worship and keep up prayer and give good news to the believers.


tafseer:
And Musa said: Our Lord! surely Thou hast given to Firon and his chiefs finery and riches in this world´s life, to this end, our Lord, that they lead (people) astray from Thy way: Our Lord! destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not until they see the painful punishment.


tafseer:
He said: The prayer of you both has indeed been accepted, therefore continue in the right way and do not follow the path of those who do not know.


tafseer:
And We made the children of Israel to pass through the sea, then Firon and his hosts followed them for oppression and tyranny


tafseer:
But We will this day deliver you with your body that you may be a sign to those after you, and most surely the majority of the people are heedless to Our communications.


tafseer:
And certainly We lodged the children of Israel in a goodly abode and We provided them with good things


tafseer:
And you should not be of those who reject the communications of Allah, (for) then you should be one of the losers.


tafseer:
And wherefore was there not a town which should believe so that their belief should have profited them but the people of Yunus? When they believed, We removed from them the chastisement of disgrace in this world´s life and We gave them provision till a time.


tafseer:
And if your Lord had pleased, surely all those who are in the earth would have believed, all of them


tafseer:
What do they wait for then but the like of the days of those who passed away before them? Say: Wait then


tafseer:
Then We deliver Our messengers and those who believe-- even so (now), it is binding on Us (that) We deliver the believers.


tafseer:
Say: O people! if you are in doubt as to my religion, then (know that) I do not serve those whom you serve besides Allah but I do serve Allah, Who will cause you to die, and I am commanded that I should be of the believers.


tafseer:
And do not call besides Allah on that which can neither benefit you nor harm you, for if you do then surely you will in that case be of the unjust.


tafseer:
Say: O people! indeed there has come to you the truth from your Lord, therefore whoever goes aright, he goes aright only for the good of his own soul, and whoever goes astray, he goes astray only to the detriment of it, and I am not a custodian over you.


tafseer:
And follow what is revealed to you and be patient till Allah should give judgment, and He is the best of the judges.


tafseer:
Alif Lam Ra (This is) a Book, whose verses are made decisive, then are they made plain, from the Wise, All-aware:


tafseer:
And there is no animal in the earth but on Allah is the sustenance of it, and He knows its resting place and its depository all (things) are in a manifest book.


tafseer:
And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods-- and His dominion (extends) on the water-- that He might manifest to you, which of you is best in action, and if you say, surely you shall be raised up after death, those who disbelieve would certainly say: This is nothing but clear magic.


tafseer:
And if We hold back from them the punishment until a stated period of time, they will certainly say: What prevents it? Now surely on the day when it will come to them, it shall not be averted from them and that which they scoffed at shall beset them.


tafseer:
And if We make man taste mercy from Us, then take it off from him, most surely he is despairing, ungrateful.


tafseer:
And if We make him taste a favor after distress has afflicted him, he will certainly say: The evils are gone away from me. Most surely he is exulting, boasting


tafseer:
Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it because they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him? You are only a warner


tafseer:
Or, do they say: He has forged it. Say: Then bring ten forged chapters like it and call upon whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.


tafseer:
But if they do not answer you, then know that it is revealed by Allah´s knowledge and that there is no god but He


tafseer:
Whoever desires this world´s life and its finery, We will pay them in full their deeds therein, and they shall not be made to. suffer loss in respect of them.


tafseer:
These are they for whom there is nothing but fire in the hereafter, and what they wrought in it shall go for nothing, and vain is what they do.


tafseer:
Is he then who has with him clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him recites it and before it (is) the Book of Musa, a guide and a mercy? These believe in it


tafseer:
And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah? These shall be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses shall say: These are they who lied against their Lord. Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust.


tafseer:
Surely (as to) those who believe and do good and humble themselves to their Lord, these are the dwellers of the garden, in it they will abide.


tafseer:
The likeness of the two parties is as the blind and the deaf and the seeing and the hearing: are they equal in condition? Will you not then mind?


tafseer:
But the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: We do not consider you but a mortal like ourselves, and we do not see any have followed you but those who are the meanest of us at first thought and we do not see in you any excellence over us


tafseer:
He said: O my people! tell me if I have with me clear proof from my Lord, and He has granted me mercy from Himself and it has been made obscure to you


tafseer:
And I do not say to you that I have the treasures of Allah and I do not know the unseen, nor do I say that I am an angel, nor do I say about those whom your eyes hold in mean estimation (that) Allah will never grant them (any) good-- Allah knows best what is in their souls-- for then most surely I should be of the unjust.


tafseer:
They said: O Nuh! indeed you have disputed with us and lengthened dispute with us, therefore bring to us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones.


tafseer:
And if I intend to give you good advice, my advice will not profit you if Allah intended that He should leave you to go astray


tafseer:
Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: If I have forged it, on me is my guilt, and I am clear of that of which you are guilty.


tafseer:
And it was revealed to Nuh: That none of your people will believe except those who have already believed, therefore do not grieve at what they do:


tafseer:
And make the ark before Our eyes and (according to) Our revelation, and do not speak to Me in respect of those who are unjust


tafseer:
So shall you know who it is on whom will come a chastisement which will disgrace him, and on whom will lasting chastisement come down.


tafseer:
Until when Our command came and water came forth from the valley, We said: Carry in it two of all things, a pair, and your own family-- except those against whom the word has already gone forth, and those who believe. And there believed not with him but a few.


tafseer:
He said: I will betake myself for refuge to a mountain that shall protect me from the water. Nuh said: There is no protector today from Allah´s punishment but He Who has mercy


tafseer:
And Nuh cried out to his Lord and said: My Lord! surely my son is of my family, and Thy promise is surely true, and Thou art the most just of the judges.


tafseer:
It was said: O Nuh! descend with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the people from among those who are with you, and there shall be nations whom We will afford provisions, then a painful punishment from Us shall afflict them.


tafseer:
These are announcements relating to the unseen which We reveal to you, you did not know them-- (neither) you nor your people-- before this


tafseer:
And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He


tafseer:
They said: O Hud! you have not brought to us any clear argument and we are not going to desert our gods for your word, and we are not believers in you:


tafseer:
We cannot say aught but that some of our gods have smitten you with evil. He said: Surely I call Allah to witness, and do you bear witness too, that I am clear of what you associate (with Allah).


tafseer:
But if you turn back, then indeed I have delivered to you the message with which I have been sent to you, and my Lord will bring another people in your place, and you cannot do Him any harm


tafseer:
And when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Hud and those who believed with him with mercy from Us, and We delivered them from a hard chastisement.


tafseer:
And to Samood (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He


tafseer:
They said: O Salih! surely you were one amongst us in whom great expectations were placed before this


tafseer:
He said: O my people! tell me if I have clear proof from my Lord and He has granted to me mercy from Himself-- who will then help me against Allah if I disobey Him? Therefore you do not add to me other than loss:


tafseer:
But they slew her, so he said: Enjoy yourselves in your abode for three days, that is a promise not to be belied.


tafseer:
So when Our decree came to pass, We delivered Salih and those who believed with him by mercy from Us, and (We saved them) from the disgrace of that day


tafseer:
And certainly Our messengers came to Ibrahim with good news. They said: Peace. Peace, said he, and he made no delay in bringing a roasted calf.


tafseer:
But when he saw that their hands were not extended towards it, he deemed them strange and conceived fear of them. They said: Fear not, surely we are sent to Lut´s people.


tafseer:
And his wife was standing (by), so she laughed, then We gave her the good news of Ishaq and after Ishaq of (a son´s son) Yaqoub.


tafseer:
She said: O wonder! shall I bear a son when I am an extremely old woman and this my husband an extremely old man? Most surely this is a wonderful thing.


tafseer:
They said: Do you wonder at Allah´s bidding? The mercy of Allah and His blessings are on you, O people of the house, surely He is Praised, Glorious.


tafseer:
So when fear had gone away from Ibrahim and good news came to him, he began to plead with Us for Lut´s people.


tafseer:
O Ibrahim! leave off this, surely the decree of your Lord has come to pass, and surely there must come to them a chastisement that cannot be averted.


tafseer:
And when Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved for them, and he lacked strength to protect them, and said: This is a hard day.


tafseer:
And his people came to him, (as if) rushed on towards him, and already they did evil deeds. He said: O my people! these are my daughters-- they are purer for you, so guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do not disgrace me with regard to my guests


tafseer:
They said: Certainly you know that we have no claim on your daughters, and most surely you know what we desire.


tafseer:
So when Our decree came to pass, We turned them upside down and rained down upon them stones, of what had been decreed, one after another.


tafseer:
And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu´aib. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He, and do not give short measure and weight: surely I see you in prosperity and surely I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing day.


tafseer:
And, O my people! give full measure and weight fairly, and defraud not men their things, and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief:


tafseer:
They said: O Shu´aib! does your prayer enjoin you that we should forsake what our fathers worshipped or that we should not do what we please with regard to our property? Forsooth you are the forbearing, the right-directing one.


tafseer:
He said: O my people! have you considered if I have a clear proof from my Lord and He has given me a goodly sustenance from Himself, and I do not desire that in opposition to you I should betake myself to that which I forbid you: I desire nothing but reform so far as I am able, and with none but Allah is the direction of my affair to a right issue


tafseer:
And, O my people! let not opposition to me make you guilty so that there may befall you the like of what befell the people of Nuh, or the people of Hud, or the people of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you


tafseer:
They said: O Shu´aib! we do not understand much of what you say and most surely we see you to be weak among us, and were it not for your family we would surely stone you, and you are not mighty against us.


tafseer:
He said: O my people! is my family more esteemed by you than Allah? And you neglect Him as a thing cast behind your back


tafseer:
And when Our decree came to pass We delivered Shu´aib, and those who believed with him by mercy from Us, and the rumbling overtook those who were unjust so they became motionless bodies in their abodes,


tafseer:
To Firon and his chiefs, but they followed the bidding of Firon, and Firon´s bidding was not right-directing.


tafseer:
And they are overtaken by curse in this (world), and on the resurrection day, evil the gift which shall be given.


tafseer:
And We did not do them injustice, but they were unjust to themselves, so their gods whom they called upon besides Allah did not avail them aught when the decree of your Lord came to pass


tafseer:
On the day when it shall come, no soul shall speak except with His permission, then (some) of them shall be unhappy and (others) happy.


tafseer:
And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please


tafseer:
Continue then in the right way as you are commanded, as also he who has turned (to Allah) with you, and be not inordinate (O men!), surely He sees what you do.


tafseer:
And do not incline to those who are unjust, lest the fire touch you, and you have no guardians besides Allah, then you shall not be helped.


tafseer:
But why were there not among the generations before you those possessing understanding, who should have forbidden the making of mischief in the earth, except a few of those whom We delivered from among them? And those who were unjust went after what they are made to enjoy of plenty, and they were guilty.


tafseer:
And it did not beseem your Lord to have destroyed the towns tyrannously, while their people acted well.


tafseer:
And if your Lord had pleased He would certainly have made people a single nation, and they shall continue to differ.


tafseer:
And Allah´s is the unseen in the heavens and the earth, and to Him is returned the whole of the affair


tafseer:
We narrate to you the best of narratives, by Our revealing to you this Quran, though before this you were certainly one of those who did not know.


tafseer:
When Yusuf said to his father: O my father! surely I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon-- I saw them making obeisance to me.


tafseer:
And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of sayings and make His favor complete to you and to the children of Yaqoub, as He made it complete before to your fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq


tafseer:
When they said: Certainly Yusuf and his brother are dearer to our father than we, though we are a (stronger) company


tafseer:
Slay Yusuf or cast him (forth) into some land, so that your father´s regard may be exclusively for you, and after that you may be a righteous people.


tafseer:
A speaker from among them said: Do not slay Yusuf, and cast him down into the bottom of the pit if you must do (it), (so that) some of the travellers may pick him up.


tafseer:
They said: O our father! what reason have you that you do not trust in us with respect to Yusuf? And most surely we are his sincere well-wishers:


tafseer:
He said: Surely it grieves me that you should take him off, and I fear lest the wolf devour him while you are heedless of him.


tafseer:
They said: Surely if the wolf should devour him notwithstanding that we are a (strong) company, we should then certainly be losers.


tafseer:
So when they had gone off with him and agreed that they should put him down at the bottom of the pit, and We revealed to him: You will most certainly inform them of this their affair while they do not perceive.


tafseer:
They said: O our father! surely we went off racing and left Yusuf by our goods, so the wolf devoured him, and you will not believe us though we are truthful.


tafseer:
And they brought his shirt with false blood upon it. He said: Nay, your souls have made the matter light for you, but patience is good and Allah is He Whose help is sought for against what you describe.


tafseer:
And there came travellers and they sent their water-drawer and he let down his bucket. He said: O good news! this is a youth


tafseer:
And the Egyptian who bought him said to his wife: Give him an honorable abode, maybe he will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son. And thus did We establish Yusuf in the land and that We might teach him the interpretation of sayings


tafseer:
And when he had attained his maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge: and thus do We reward those who do good.


tafseer:
And she in whose house he was sought to make himself yield (to her), and she made fast the doors and said: Come forward. He said: I seek Allah´s refuge, surely my Lord made good my abode: Surely the unjust do not prosper.


tafseer:
And certainly she made for him, and he would have made for her, were it not that he had seen the manifest evidence of his Lord


tafseer:
And they both hastened to the door, and she rent his shirt from behind and they met her husband at the door. She said: What is the punishment of him who intends evil to your wife except imprisonment or a painful chastisement?


tafseer:
And women in the city said: The chiefs wife seeks her slave to yield himself (to her), surely he has affected her deeply with (his) love


tafseer:
So when she heard of their sly talk she sent for them and prepared for them a repast, and gave each of them a knife, and said (to Yusuf): Come forth to them. So when they saw him, they deemed him great, and cut their hands (in amazement), and said: Remote is Allah (from inperfection)


tafseer:
She said: This is he with respect to whom you blamed me, and certainly I sought his yielding himself (to me), but he abstained, and if he does not do what I bid him, he shall certainly be imprisoned, and he shall certainly be of those who are in a state of ignominy.


tafseer:
And two youths entered the prison with him. One of them said: I saw myself pressing wine. And the other said: I saw myself carrying bread on my head, of which birds ate. Inform us of its interpretation


tafseer:
He said: There shall not come to you the food with which you are fed, but I will inform you both of its interpretation before it comes to you


tafseer:
And of the two (prisoners) he who had found deliverance and remembered after a long time said: I will inform you of its interpretation, so let me go:


tafseer:
Yusuf! O truthful one! explain to us seven fat kine which seven lean ones devoured, and seven green ears and (seven) others dry, that I may go back to the people so that they may know.


tafseer:
He said: You shall sow for seven years continuously, then what you reap leave it in its ear except a little of which you eat.


tafseer:
Then there shall come after that seven years of hardship which shall eat away all that you have beforehand laid up in store for them, except a little of what you shall have preserved:


tafseer:
Then there will come after that a year in which people shall have rain and in which they shall press (grapes).


tafseer:
And the king said: Bring him to me. So when the messenger came to him, he said: Go back to your lord and ask him, what is the case of the women who cut their hands


tafseer:
He said: How was your affair when you sought Yusuf to yield himself (to you)? They said: Remote is Allah (from imperfection), we knew of no evil on his part. The chief´s wife said: Now has the truth become established: I sought him to yield himself (to me), and he is most surely of the truthful ones.


tafseer:
This is that he might know that I have not been unfaithful to him in secret and that Allah does not guide the device of the unfaithful.


tafseer:
And I do not declare myself free, most surely (man´s) self is wont to command (him to do) evil, except such as my Lord has had mercy on, surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And the king said: Bring him to me, I will choose him for myself. So when he had spoken with him, he said: Surely you are in our presence today an honorable, a faithful one.


tafseer:
He said: Place me (in authority) over the treasures of the land, surely I am a good keeper, knowing well.


tafseer:
And certainly the reward of the hereafter is much better for those who believe and guard (against evil).


tafseer:
And when he furnished them with their provision, he said: Bring to me a brother of yours from your father


tafseer:
But if you do not bring him to me, you shall have no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall you come near me.


tafseer:
And he said to his servants: Put their money into their bags that they may recognize it when they go back to their family, so that they may come back.


tafseer:
So when they returned to their father, they said: O our father, the measure is withheld from us, therefore send with us our brother, (so that) we may get the measure, and we will most surely guard him.


tafseer:
He said: I cannot trust in you with respect to him, except as I trusted in you with respect to his brother before


tafseer:
And when they opened their goods, they found their money returned to them. They said: O our father! what (more) can we desire? This is our property returned to us, and we will bring corn for our family and guard our brother, and will have in addition the measure of a camel (load)


tafseer:
He said: I will by no means send him with you until you give me a firm covenant in Allah´s name that you will most certainly bring him back to me, unless you are completely surrounded. And when they gave him their covenant, he said: Allah is the One in Whom trust is placed as regards what we say.


tafseer:
And he said: O my sons! do not (all) enter by one gate and enter by different gates and I cannot avail you aught against Allah


tafseer:
And when they had entered as their father had bidden them, it did not avail them aught against Allah, but (it was only) a desire in the soul of Yaqoub which he satisfied


tafseer:
And when they went in to Yusuf. he lodged his brother with himself, saying: I am your brother, therefore grieve not at what they do.


tafseer:
So when he furnished them with their provisions, (someone) placed the drinking cup in his brother´s bag. Then a crier cried out: O caravan! you are most surely thieves.


tafseer:
They said: We miss the king´s drinking cup, and he who shall bring it shall have a camel-load and I am responsible for it.


tafseer:
They said: By Allah! you know for certain that we have not come to make mischief in the land, and we are not thieves.


tafseer:
They said: The requital of this is that the person in whose bag it is found shall himself be (held for) the satisfaction thereof


tafseer:
So he began with their sacks before the sack of his brother, then he brought it out from his brother´s sack. Thus did We plan for the sake of Yusuf


tafseer:
He said: Allah protect us that we should seize other than him with whom we found our property, for then most surely we would be unjust.


tafseer:
Then when they despaired of him, they retired, conferring privately together. The eldest of them said: Do you not know that your father took from you a covenant in Allah´s name, and how you fell short of your duty with respect to Yusuf before? Therefore I will by no means depart from this land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of the judges:


tafseer:
Go back to your father and say: O our father! surely your son committed theft, and we do not bear witness except to what we have known, and we could not keep watch over the unseen:


tafseer:
And inquire in the town in which we were and the caravan with which we proceeded, and most surely we are truthful.


tafseer:
And he turned away from them, and said: O my sorrow for Yusuf! and his eyes became white on account of the grief, and he was a repressor (of grief).


tafseer:
They said: By Allah! you will not cease to remember Yusuf until you are a prey to constant disease or (until) you are of those who perish.


tafseer:
He said: I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah, and I know from Allah what you do not know.


tafseer:
So when they came in to him, they said: O chief! distress has afflicted us and our family and we have brought scanty money, so give us full measure and be charitable to us


tafseer:
Take this my shirt and cast it on my father´s face, he will (again) be able to see, and come to me with all your families.


tafseer:
And when the caravan had departed, their father said: Most surely I perceive the greatness of Yusuf, unless you pronounce me to be weak in judgment.


tafseer:
So when the bearer of good news came he cast it on his face, so forthwith he regained his sight. He said: Did I not say to you that I know from Allah what you do not know?


tafseer:
Then when they came in to Yusuf, he took his parents to lodge with him and said: Enter safe into Egypt, if Allah please.


tafseer:
And he raised his parents upon the throne and they fell down in prostration before him, and he said: O my father! this is the significance of my vision of old


tafseer:
My Lord! Thou hast given me of the kingdom and taught me of the interpretation of sayings: Originator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my guardian in this world and the hereafter


tafseer:
This is of the announcements relating to the unseen (which) We reveal to you, and you were not with them when they resolved upon their affair, and they were devising plans.


tafseer:
Do they then feel secure that there may come to them an extensive chastisement from Allah or (that) the hour may come to them suddenly while they do not perceive?


tafseer:
Say: This is my way: I call to Allah, I and those who follow me being certain, and glory be to Allah, and I am not one of the polytheists.


tafseer:
And We have not sent before you but men from (among) the people of the towns, to whom We sent revelations. Have they not then travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those before them? And certainly the abode of the hereafter is best for those who guard (against evil)


tafseer:
Until when the messengers despaired and the people became sure that they were indeed told a lie, Our help came to them and whom We pleased was delivered


tafseer:
In their histories there is certainly a lesson for men of understanding. It is not a narrative which could be forged, but a verification of what is before it and a distinct explanation of all things and a guide and a mercy to a people who believe.


tafseer:
Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you see, and He is firm in power and He made the sun and the moon subservient (to you)


tafseer:
And He it is Who spread the earth and made in it firm mountains and rivers, and of all fruits He has made in it two kinds


tafseer:
And in the earth there are tracts side by side and gardens of grapes and corn and palm trees having one root and (others) having distinct roots-- they are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel others in fruit


tafseer:
And if you would wonder, then wondrous is their saying: What! when we are dust, shall we then certainly be in a new creation? These are they who disbelieve in their Lord, and these have chains on their necks, and they are the inmates of the fire


tafseer:
And they ask you to hasten on the evil before the good, and indeed there have been exemplary punishments before them


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: Why has not a sign been sent down upon him from his Lord? You are only a warner and (there is) a guide for every people.


tafseer:
Allah knows what every female bears, and that of which the wombs fall short of completion and that in which they increase


tafseer:
Alike (to Him) among you is he who conceals (his) words and he who speaks them openly, and he who hides himself by night and (who) goes forth by day.


tafseer:
For his sake there are angels following one another, before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah´s commandment


tafseer:
And whoever is in the heavens and the earth makes obeisance to Allah only, willingly and unwillingly, and their shadows too at morn and eve.


tafseer:
Say: Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?-- Say: Allah. Say: Do you take then besides Him guardians who do not control any profit or harm for themselves? Say: Are the blind and the seeing alike? Or can the darkness and the light be equal? Or have they set up with Allah associates who have created creation like His, so that what is created became confused to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Supreme.


tafseer:
He sends down water from the cloud, then watercourses flow (with water) according to their measure, and the torrent bears along the swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments or apparatus arises a scum like it


tafseer:
Is he then who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like him who is blind? Only those possessed of understanding will mind,


tafseer:
And those who join that which Allah has bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord and fear the evil reckoning.


tafseer:
And those who are constant, seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them secretly and openly and repel evil with good


tafseer:
The gardens of perpetual abode which they will enter along with those who do good from among their parents and their spouses and their offspring


tafseer:
And those who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut asunder that which Allah has ordered to be joined and make mischief in the land


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: Why is not a sign sent down upon him by his Lord? Say: Surely Allah makes him who will go astray, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).


tafseer:
And thus We have sent you among a nation before which other nations have passed away, that you might recite to them what We have revealed to you and (still) they deny the Beneficent Allah. Say: He is my Lord, there is no god but He


tafseer:
And even if there were a Quran with which the mountains were made to pass away, or the earth were travelled over with it, or the dead were made to speak thereby


tafseer:
And messengers before you were certainly mocked at, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I destroyed them


tafseer:
Is He then Who watches every soul as to what it earns? And yet they give associates to Allah! Say: Give them a name


tafseer:
They shall have chastisement in this world´s life, and the chastisement of the hereafter is certainly more grievous, and they shall have no protector against Allah.


tafseer:
And those to whom We have given the Book rejoice in that which has been revealed to you, and of the confederates are some who deny a part of it. Say: I am only commanded that I should serve Allah and not associate anything with Him, to Him do I invite (you) and to Him is my return.


tafseer:
And thus have We revealed it, a true judgment in Arabic, and if you follow their low desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you shall not have against Allah any guardian or a protector.


tafseer:
And certainly We sent messengers before you and gave them wives and children, and it is not in (the power of) an messenger to bring a sign except by Allah´s permission


tafseer:
And We will either let you see part of what We threaten them with or cause you to die, for only the delivery of the message is (incumbent) on you, while calling (them) to account is Our (business).


tafseer:
Do they not see that We are bringing destruction upon the land by curtailing it of its sides? And Allah pronounces a doom-- there is no repeller of His decree, and He is swift to take account.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: You are not a messenger. Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you and whoever has knowledge of the Book.


tafseer:
Alif Lam Ra. (This is) a Book which We have revealed to you that you may bring forth men, by their Lord´s permission from utter darkness into light-- to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One,


tafseer:
(To) those who love this world´s life more than the hereafter, and turn away from Allah´s path and desire to make it crooked


tafseer:
And We did not send any messenger but with the language of his people, so that he might explain to them clearly


tafseer:
And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications, saying: Bring forth your people from utter darkness into light and remind them of the days of Allah


tafseer:
And when Musa said to his people: Call to mind Allah´s favor to you when He delivered you from Firon´s people, who subjected you to severe torment, and slew your sons and spared your women


tafseer:
And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe.


tafseer:
And Musa said: If you are ungrateful, you and those on earth all together, most surely Allah is Self-sufficient, Praised


tafseer:
Has not the account reached you of those before you, of the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and those after them? None knows them but Allah. Their messengers come to them with clear arguments, but they thrust their hands into their mouths and said: Surely we deny that with which you are sent, and most surely we are in serious doubt as to that to which you invite us.


tafseer:
Their messengers said: Is there doubt about Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? He invites you to forgive you your faults and to respite you till an appointed term. They said: You are nothing but mortals like us


tafseer:
Their messengers said to them: We are nothing but mortals like yourselves, but Allah bestows (His) favors on whom He pleases of His servants, and it is not for us that we should bring you an authority except by Allah´s permission


tafseer:
And those who disbelieved said to their messengers: We will most certainly drive you forth from our land, or else you shall come back into our religion. So their Lord revealed to them: Most certainly We will destroy the unjust.


tafseer:
He will drink it little by little and will not be able to swallow it agreeably, and death will come to him from every quarter, but he shall not die


tafseer:
The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their actions are like ashes on which the wind blows hard on a stormy day


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He please He will take you off and bring a new creation,


tafseer:
And they shall all come forth before Allah, then the weak shall say to those who were proud: Surely we were your followers, can you therefore avert from us any part of the chastisement of Allah? They would say: If Allah had guided us, we too would have guided you


tafseer:
And the Shaitan shall say after the affair is decided: Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth, and I gave you promises, then failed to keep them to you, and I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me, therefore do not blame me but blame yourselves: I cannot be your aider (now) nor can you be my aiders


tafseer:
And those who believe and do good are made to enter gardens, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them by their Lord´s permission


tafseer:
Have you not considered how Allah sets forth a parable of a good word (being) like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in heaven,


tafseer:
Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? And Allah sets forth parables for men that they may be mindful.


tafseer:
Allah confirms those who believe with the sure word in this world´s life and in the hereafter, and Allah causes the unjust to go astray, and Allah does what He pleases.


tafseer:
Have you not seen those who have changed Allah´s favor for ungratefulness and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition


tafseer:
And they set up equals with Allah that they may lead (people) astray from His path. Say: Enjoy yourselves, for surely your return is to the fire.


tafseer:
Say to My servants who believe that they should keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly and openly before the coming of the day in which there shall be no bartering nor mutual befriending.


tafseer:
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and sent down water from the clouds, then brought forth with it fruits as a sustenance for you, and He has made the ships subservient to you, that they might run their course in the sea by His command, and He has made the rivers subservient to you.


tafseer:
And He has made subservient to you the sun and the moon pursuing their courses, and He has made subservient to you the night and the day.


tafseer:
And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! make this city secure, and save me and my sons from worshipping idols:


tafseer:
O our Lord! surely I have settled a part of my offspring in a valley unproductive of fruit near Thy Sacred House, our Lord! that they may keep up prayer


tafseer:
O our Lord! Surely Thou knowest what we hide and what we make public, and nothing in the earth nor any thing in heaven is hidden from Allah:


tafseer:
O our Lord! grant me protection and my parents and the believers on the day when the reckoning shall come to pass!


tafseer:
And warn people of the day when the chastisement shall come to them, then those who were unjust will say: O our Lord! respite us to a near term, (so) we shall respond to Thy call and follow the messengers. What! did you not swear before (that) there will be no passing away for you!


tafseer:
And you dwell in the abodes of those who were unjust to themselves, and it is clear to you how We dealt with them and We have made (them) examples to you.


tafseer:
And they have indeed planned their plan, but their plan is with Allah, though their plan was such that the mountains should pass away thereby.


tafseer:
On the day when the earth shall be changed into a different earth, and the heavens (as well), and they shall come forth before Allah, the One, the Supreme.


tafseer:
This is a sufficient exposition for the people and that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is One Allah and that those possessed of understanding may mind.


tafseer:
Leave them that they may eat and enjoy themselves and (that) hope may beguile them, for they will soon know.


tafseer:
And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders.


tafseer:
And the earth-- We have spread it forth and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing.


tafseer:
And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure.


tafseer:
And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up.


tafseer:
And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later.


tafseer:
And when your Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.


tafseer:
So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.


tafseer:
He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil to me, I will certainly make (evil) fair-seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate


tafseer:
Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority, over them except those who follow you of the deviators.


tafseer:
And We will root out whatever of rancor is in their breasts-- (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face.


tafseer:
He said: Do you give me good news (of a son) when old age has come upon me?-- Of what then do you give me good news!


tafseer:
Therefore go forth with your followers in a part of the night and yourself follow their rear, and let not any one of you turn round, and go forth whither you are commanded.


tafseer:
Do not strain your eyes after what We have given certain classes of them to enjoy, and do not grieve for them, and make yourself gentle to the believers.


tafseer:
He sends down the angels with the inspiration by His commandment on whom He pleases of His servants, saying: Give the warning that there is no god but Me, therefore be careful (of your duty) to Me.


tafseer:
He created the heavens and the earth with the truth, highly exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).


tafseer:
And there is beauty in them for you when you drive them back (to home), and when you send them forth (to pasture).


tafseer:
He causes to grow for you thereby herbage, and the olives, and the palm trees, and the grapes, and of all the fruits


tafseer:
And He has made subservient for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon, and the stars are made subservient by His commandment


tafseer:
And what He has created in the earth of varied hues most surely there is a sign in this for a people who are mindful.


tafseer:
And He it is Who has made the sea subservient that you may eat fresh flesh from it and bring forth from it ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships cleaving through it, and that you might seek of His bounty and that you may give thanks.


tafseer:
And He has cast great mountains in the earth lest it might be convulsed with you, and rivers and roads that you may go aright,


tafseer:
And those whom they call on besides Allah have not created anything while they are themselves created


tafseer:
And when it is said to them, what is it that your Lord has revealed? They say: Stories of the ancients


tafseer:
That they may bear their burdens entirely on the day of resurrection and also of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without knowledge


tafseer:
Those before them did indeed devise plans, but Allah demolished their building from the foundations, so the roof fell down on them from above them, and the punishment came to them from whence they did not perceive.


tafseer:
Then on the resurrection day He will bring them to disgrace and say: Where are the associates you gave Me, for whose sake you became hostile? Those who are given the knowledge will say: Surely the disgrace and the evil are this day upon the unbelievers:


tafseer:
Those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to themselves. Then would they offer submission: We used not to do any evil. Aye! surely Allah knows what you did.


tafseer:
And it is said to those who guard (against evil): What is it that your Lord has revealed? They say, Good. For those who do good in this world is good, and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better


tafseer:
Those whom the angels cause to die in a good state, saying: Peace be on you: enter the garden for what you did.


tafseer:
They do not wait aught but that the angels should come to them or that the commandment of your Lord should come to pass. Thus did those before them


tafseer:
So the evil (consequences) of what they did shall afflict them and that which they mocked shall encompass them.


tafseer:
And they who give associates (to Allah) say: If Allah had pleased, we would not have served anything besides Allah, (neither) we nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything without (order from) Him. Thus did those before them


tafseer:
And certainly We raised in every nation a messenger saying: Serve Allah and shun the Shaitan. So there were some of them whom Allah guided and there were others against whom error was due


tafseer:
If you desire for their guidance, yet surely Allah does not guide him who leads astray, nor shall they have any helpers.


tafseer:
And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies. Yea! it is a promise binding on Him, quite true, but most people do not know


tafseer:
So that He might make manifest to them that about which they differ, and that those who disbelieve might know that they were liars.


tafseer:
And those who fly for Allah´s sake after they are oppressed, We will most certainly give them a good abode in the world, and the reward of the hereafter is certainly much greater, did they but know


tafseer:
And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation-- so ask the followers of the Reminder if you do not know--


tafseer:
Do they then who plan evil (deeds) feel secure (of this) that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or that punishment may not overtake them from whence they do not perceive?


tafseer:
Or that He may not seize them by causing them to suffer gradual loss, for your Lord is most surely Compassionate, Merciful.


tafseer:
Do they not consider every thing that Allah has created? Its (very) shadows return from right and left, making obeisance to Allah while they are in utter abasement.


tafseer:
And whatever creature that is in the heavens and that is in the earth makes obeisance to Allah (only), and the angels (too) and they do not show pride.


tafseer:
And whatever is in the heavens and the earth is His, and to Him should obedience be (rendered) constantly


tafseer:
And they set apart for what they do not know a portion of what We have given them. By Allah, you shall most certainly be questioned about that which you forged.


tafseer:
He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that which is announced to him. Shall he keep it with disgrace or bury it (alive) in the dust? Now surely evil is what they judge.


tafseer:
For those who do not believe in the hereafter is an evil attribute, and Allah´s is the loftiest attribute


tafseer:
And if Allah had destroyed men for their iniquity, He would not leave on the earth a single creature, but He respites them till an appointed time


tafseer:
And they ascribe to Allah what they (themselves) hate and their tongues relate the lie that they shall have the good


tafseer:
By Allah, most certainly We sent (messengers) to nations before you, but the Shaitan made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so he is their guardian today, and they shall have a painful punishment.


tafseer:
And We have not revealed to you the Book except that you may make clear to them that about which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.


tafseer:
And of the fruits of the palms and the grapes-- you obtain from them intoxication and goodly provision


tafseer:
And your Lord revealed to the bee saying: Make hives in the mountains and in the trees and in what they build:


tafseer:
Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of your Lord submissively. There comes forth from within it a beverage of many colours, in which there is healing for men


tafseer:
And Allah has created you, then He causes you to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know anything


tafseer:
And Allah has made some of you excel others in the means of subsistence, so those who are made to excel do not give away their sustenance to those whom their right hands possess so that they should be equal therein


tafseer:
And Allah has made wives for you from among yourselves, and has given you sons and grandchildren from your wives, and has given you of the good things


tafseer:
And they serve besides Allah that which does not control for them any sustenance at all from the heavens and the earth, nor have they any power.


tafseer:
Allah sets forth a parable: (consider) a slave, the property of another, (who) has no power over anything, and one whom We have granted from Ourselves a goodly sustenance so he spends from it secretly and openly


tafseer:
And Allah has brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers-- you did not know anything-- and He gave you hearing and sight and hearts that you may give thanks.


tafseer:
And Allah has given you a place to abide in your houses, and He has given you tents of the skins of cattle which you find light to carry on the day of your march and on the day of your halting, and of their wool and their fur and their hair (He has given you) household stuff and a provision for a time.


tafseer:
And Allah has made for you of what He has created shelters, and He has given you in the mountains places of retreat, and He has given you garments to preserve you from the heat and coats of mail to preserve you in your fighting


tafseer:
And on the day when We will raise up a witness out of every nation, then shall no permission be given to those who disbelieve, nor shall they be made to solicit favor.


tafseer:
And when those who are unjust shall see the chastisement, it shall not be lightened for them, nor shall they be respited.


tafseer:
And when those who associate (others with Allah) shall see their associate-gods, they shall say: Our Lord, these are our associate-gods on whom we called besides Thee. But they will give them back the reply: Most surely you are liars.


tafseer:
(As for) those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah´s way, We will add chastisement to their chastisement because they made mischief.


tafseer:
And on the day when We will raise up in every people a witness against them from among themselves, and bring you as a witness against these-- and We have revealed the Book to you explaining clearly everything, and a guidance and mercy and good news for those who submit.


tafseer:
Surely Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good (to others) and the giving to the kindred, and He forbids indecency and evil and rebellion


tafseer:
And fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have made a covenant, and do not break the oaths after making them fast, and you have indeed made Allah a surety for you


tafseer:
And be not like her who unravels her yarn, disintegrating it into pieces after she has spun it strongly. You make your oaths to be means of deceit between you because (one) nation is more numerous than (another) nation. Allah only tries you by this


tafseer:
And if Allah please He would certainly make you a single nation, but He causes to err whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases


tafseer:
And do not make your oaths a means of deceit between you, lest a foot should slip after its stability and you should taste evil because you turned away from Allah´s way and grievous punishment be your (lot).


tafseer:
Whoever does good whether male or female and he is a believer, We will most certainly make him live a happy life, and We will most certainly give them their reward for the best of what they did.


tafseer:
And when We change (one) communication for (another) communication, and Allah knows best what He reveals, they say: You are only a forger. Nay, most of them do not know.


tafseer:
Say: The Holy spirit has revealed it from your Lord with the truth, that it may establish those who believe and as a guidance and good news for those who submit.


tafseer:
And certainly We know that they say: Only a mortal teaches him. The tongue of him whom they reproach is barbarous, and this is clear Arabic tongue.


tafseer:
(As for) those who do not believe in Allah´s communications, surely Allah will not guide them, and they shall have a painful punishment.


tafseer:
He who disbelieves in Allah after his having believed, not he who is compelled while his heart is at rest on account of faith, but he who opens (his) breast to disbelief-- on these is the wrath of Allah, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.


tafseer:
This is because they love this world´s life more than the hereafter, and because Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.


tafseer:
These are they on whose hearts and their hearing and their eyes Allah has set a seal, and these are the heedless ones.


tafseer:
Yet surely your Lord, with respect to those who fly after they are persecuted, then they struggle hard and are patient, most surely your Lord after that is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
(Remember) the day when every soul shall come, pleading for itself and every soul shall be paid in full what it has done, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.


tafseer:
And Allah sets forth a parable: (Consider) a town safe and secure to which its means of subsistence come in abundance from every quarter


tafseer:
And certainly there came to them a Messenger from among them, but they rejected him, so the punishment overtook them while they were unjust.


tafseer:
Therefore eat of what Allah has given you, lawful and good (things), and give thanks for Allah´s favor if Him do you serve.


tafseer:
He has only forbidden you what dies of itself and blood and flesh of swine and that over which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limit, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
And, for what your tongues describe, do not utter the lie, (saying) This is lawful and this is unlawful, in order to forge a lie against Allah


tafseer:
And for those who were Jews We prohibited what We have related to you already, and We did them no injustice, but they were unjust to themselves.


tafseer:
Yet surely your Lord, with respect to those who do an evil in ignorance, then turn after that and make amends, most surely your Lord after that is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Then We revealed to you: Follow the faith of Ibrahim, the upright one, and he was not of the polytheists.


tafseer:
The Sabbath was ordained only for those who differed about it, and most surely your Lord will judge between them on the resurrection day concerning that about which they differed.


tafseer:
Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and have disputations with them in the best manner


tafseer:
And be patient and your patience is not but by (the assistance of) Allah, and grieve not for them, and do not distress yourself at what they plan.


tafseer:
Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs


tafseer:
And We gave Musa the Book and made it a guidance to the children of Israel, saying: Do not take a protector besides Me


tafseer:
And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice, and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence.


tafseer:
So when the promise for the first of the two came, We sent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they went to and fro among the houses, and it was a promise to be accomplished.


tafseer:
Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, and aided you with wealth and children and made you a numerous band.


tafseer:
If you do good, you will do good for your own souls, and if you do evil, it shall be for them. So when the second promise came (We raised another people) that they may bring you to grief and that they may enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and that they might destroy whatever they gained ascendancy over with utter destruction.


tafseer:
It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, and if you again return (to disobedience) We too will return (to punishment), and We have made hell a prison for the unbelievers.


tafseer:
Surely this Quran guides to that which is most upright and gives good news to the believers who do good that they shall have a great reward.


tafseer:
And that (as for) those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
And We have made the night and the day two signs, then We have made the sign of the night to pass away and We have made the sign of the day manifest, so that you may seek grace from your Lord, and that you might know the numbering of years and the reckoning


tafseer:
And We have made every man´s actions to cling to his neck, and We will bring forth to him on the resurrection day a book which he will find wide open:


tafseer:
And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein


tafseer:
And how many of the generations did We destroy after Nuh! and your Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing with regard to His servants´ faults.


tafseer:
Whoever desires this present life, We hasten to him therein what We please for whomsoever We desire, then We assign to him the hell


tafseer:
All do We aid-- these as well as those-- out of the bounty of your Lord, and the bounty of your Lord is not confined.


tafseer:
See how We have made some of them to excel others, and certainly the hereafter is much superior in respect of excellence.


tafseer:
And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) &quot


tafseer:
And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say: O my Lord! have compassion on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little.


tafseer:
And give to the near of kin his due and (to) the needy and the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.


tafseer:
Surely the squanderers are the fellows of the Shaitans and the Shaitan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.


tafseer:
And if you turn away from them to seek mercy from your Lord, which you hope for, speak to them a gentle word.


tafseer:
And do not make your hand to be shackled to your neck nor stretch it forth to the utmost (limit) of its stretching forth, lest you should (afterwards) sit down blamed, stripped off.


tafseer:
Surely your Lord makes plentiful the means of subsistence for whom He pleases and He straitens (them)


tafseer:
And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying


tafseer:
And draw not near to the property of the orphan except in a goodly way till he attains his maturity and fulfill the promise


tafseer:
And do not go about in the land exultingly, for you cannot cut through the earth nor reach the mountains in height.


tafseer:
This is of what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom, and do not associate any other god with Allah lest you should be thrown into hell, blamed, cast away.


tafseer:
What! has then your Lord preferred to give you sons, and (for Himself) taken daughters from among the angels? Most surely you utter a grievous saying.


tafseer:
And certainly We have repeated (warnings) in this Quran that they may be mindful, but it does not add save to their aversion.


tafseer:
Say: If there were with Him gods as they say, then certainly they would have been able to seek a way to the Lord of power.


tafseer:
And when you recite the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier


tafseer:
And We have placed coverings on their hearts and a heaviness in their ears lest they understand it, and when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran they turn their backs in aversion.


tafseer:
We know best what they listen to when they listen to you, and when they take counsel secretly, when the unjust say: You follow only a man deprived of reason.


tafseer:
And they say: What! when we shall have become bones and decayed particles, shall we then certainly be raised up, being a new creation?


tafseer:
Or some other creature of those which are too hard (to receive life) in your minds! But they will say: Who will return us? Say: Who created you at first. Still they will shake their heads at you and say: When will it be? Say: Maybe it has drawn nigh.


tafseer:
On the day when He will call you forth, then shall you obey Him, giving Him praise, and you will think that you tarried but a little (while).


tafseer:
Say: Call on those whom you assert besides Him, so they shall not control the removal of distress from you nor (its) transference.


tafseer:
Those whom they call upon, themselves seek the means of access to their Lord-- whoever of them is nearest-- and they hope for His mercy and fear His chastisement


tafseer:
And there is not a town but We will destroy it before the day of resurrection or chastise it with a severe chastisement


tafseer:
He said: Tell me, is this he whom Thou hast honored above me? If Thou shouldst respite me to the day of resurrection, I will most certainly cause his progeny to perish except a few.


tafseer:
He said: Be gone! for whoever of them will follow you, then surely hell is your recompense, a full recompense:


tafseer:
And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice, and collect against them your forces riding and on foot, and share with them in wealth and children, and hold out promises to them


tafseer:
What! Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a tract of land to engulf you or send on you a tornado? Then you shall not find a protector for yourselves.


tafseer:
Or, do you feel secure that He will (not) take you back into it another time, then send on you a fierce gale and thus drown you on account of your ungratefulness? Then you shall not find any aider against Us in the matter.


tafseer:
And surely We have honored the children of Adam, and We carry them in the land and the sea, and We have given them of the good things, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom We have created.


tafseer:
And surely they had purposed to turn you away from that which We have revealed to you, that you should forge against Us other than that, and then they would certainly have taken you for a friend.


tafseer:
And had it not been that We had already established you, you would certainly have been near to incline to them a little


tafseer:
In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a double (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment) after death, then you would not have found any helper against Us.


tafseer:
And surely they purposed to unsettle you from the land that they might expel you from it, and in that case they will not tarry behind you but a little.


tafseer:
(This is Our) course with regard to those of Our messengers whom We sent before you, and you shall not find a change in Our course.


tafseer:
Keep up prayer from the declining of the sun till the darkness of the night and the morning recitation


tafseer:
And say: My Lord! make me to enter a goodly entering, and cause me to go forth a goodly going forth, and grant me from near Thee power to assist (me).


tafseer:
And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust.


tafseer:
And when We bestow favor on man, he turns aside and behaves proudly, and when evil afflicts him, he is despairing.


tafseer:
And they ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is one of the commands of my Lord, and you are not given aught of knowledge but a little.


tafseer:
And if We please, We should certainly take away that which We have revealed to you, then you would not find for it any protector against Us.


tafseer:
Say: If men and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were aiders of others.


tafseer:
And certainly We have explained for men in this Quran every kind of similitude, but most men do not consent to aught but denying.


tafseer:
And they say: We will by no means believe in you until you cause a fountain to gush forth from the earth for us.


tafseer:
Or you should have a garden of palms and grapes in the midst of which you should cause rivers to flow forth, gushing out.


tafseer:
Or you should cause the heaven to come down upon us in pieces as you think, or bring Allah and the angels face to face (with us).


tafseer:
Or you should have a house of gold, or you should ascend into heaven, and we will not believe in your ascending until you bring down to us a book which we may read. Say: Glory be to my Lord


tafseer:
And nothing prevented people from believing when the guidance came to them except that they said: What! has Allah raised up a mortal to be a messenger?


tafseer:
Say: Had there been in the earth angels walking about as settlers, We would certainly have sent down to them from the heaven an angel as a messenger.


tafseer:
And whomsoever Allah guides, he is the follower of the right way, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall not find for him guardians besides Him


tafseer:
This is their retribution because they disbelieved in Our communications and said What! when we shall have become bones and decayed particles, shall we then indeed be raised up into a new creation?


tafseer:
Do they not consider that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their like, and He has appointed for them a doom about which there is no doubt? But the unjust do not consent to aught but denying.


tafseer:
Say: If you control the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold (them) from fear of spending, and man is niggardly.


tafseer:
He said: Truly you know that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent down these as clear proof and most surely I believe you, O Firon, to be given over to perdition.


tafseer:
And We said to the Israelites after him: Dwell in the land: and when the promise of the next life shall come to pass, we will bring you both together in judgment.


tafseer:
And it is a Quran which We have revealed in portions so that you may read it to the people by slow degrees, and We have revealed it, revealing in portions.


tafseer:
And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace


tafseer:
(All) praise is due to Allah, Who revealed the Book to His servant and did not make in it any crookedness.


tafseer:
Rightly directing, that he might give warning of severe punishment from Him and give good news to the believers who do good that they shall have a goodly reward,


tafseer:
Then maybe you will kill yourself with grief, sorrowing after them, if they do not believe in this announcement.


tafseer:
Surely We have made whatever is on the earth an embellishment for it, so that We may try them (as to) which of them is best in works.


tafseer:
When the youths sought refuge in the cave, they said: Our Lord! grant us mercy from Thee, and provide for us a right course in our affair.


tafseer:
Then We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties was best able to compute the time for which they remained.


tafseer:
And We strengthened their hearts with patience, when they stood up and said: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth


tafseer:
And when you forsake them and what they worship save Allah, betake yourselves for refuge to the cave


tafseer:
And you might see the sun when it rose, decline from their cave towards the right hand, and when it set, leave them behind on the left while they were in a wide space thereof. This is of the signs of Allah


tafseer:
And you might think them awake while they were asleep and We turned them about to the right and to the left, while their dog (lay) outstretching its paws at the entrance


tafseer:
And thus did We rouse them that they might question each other. A speaker among them said: How long have you tarried? They said: We have tarried for a day or a part of a day. (Others) said: Your Lord knows best how long you have tarried. Now send one of you with this silver (coin) of yours to the city, then let him see which of them has purest food, so let him bring you provision from it, and let him behave with gentleness, and by no means make your case known to any one:


tafseer:
For surely if they prevail against you they would stone you to death or force you back to their religion, and then you will never succeed.


tafseer:
And thus did We make (men) to get knowledge of them that they might know that Allah´s promise is true and that as for the hour there is no doubt about it. When they disputed among themselves about their affair and said: Erect an edifice over them-- their Lord best knows them. Those who prevailed in their affair said: We will certainly raise a masjid over them.


tafseer:
And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, there is none who can alter His words


tafseer:
And withhold yourself with those who call on their Lord morning and evening desiring His goodwill, and let not your eyes pass from them, desiring the beauties of this world´s life


tafseer:
And say: The truth is from your Lord, so let him who please believe, and let him who please disbelieve


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, We do not waste the reward of him who does a good work.


tafseer:
These it is for whom are gardens of perpetuity beneath which rivers flow, ornaments shall be given to them therein of bracelets of gold, and they shall wear green robes of fine silk and thick silk brocade interwoven with gold, reclining therein on raised couches


tafseer:
Both these gardens yielded their fruits, and failed not aught thereof, and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst,


tafseer:
And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said: I do not think that this will ever perish


tafseer:
And I do not think the hour will come, and even if I am returned to my Lord I will most certainly find a returning place better than this.


tafseer:
His companion said to him while disputing with him: Do you disbelieve in Him Who created you from dust, then from a small seed, then He made you a perfect man?


tafseer:
And wherefore did you not say when you entered your garden: It is as Allah has pleased, there is no power save in Allah? If you consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children,


tafseer:
Then maybe my Lord will give me what is better than your garden, and send on it a thunderbolt from heaven so that it shall become even ground without plant,


tafseer:
And set forth to them parable of the life of this world: like water which We send down from the cloud so the herbage of the earth becomes tangled on account of it, then it becomes dry broken into pieces which the winds scatter


tafseer:
And the day on which We will cause the mountains to pass away and you will see the earth a levelled plain and We will gather them and leave not any one of them behind.


tafseer:
And they shall be brought before your Lord, standing in ranks: Now certainly you have come to Us as We created you at first. Nay, you thought that We had not appointed to you a time of the fulfillment of the promise.


tafseer:
And the Book shall be placed, then you will see the guilty fearing from what is in it, and they will say: Ah! woe to us! what a book is this! it does not omit a small one nor a great one, but numbers them (all)


tafseer:
I did not make them witnesses of the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor of the creation of their own souls


tafseer:
And on the day when He shall say: Call on those whom you considered to be My associates. So they shall call on them, but they shall not answer them, and We will cause a separation between them.


tafseer:
And the guilty shall see the fire, then they shall know that they are going to fall into it, and they shall not find a place to which to turn away from it.


tafseer:
And certainly We have explained in this Quran every kind of example, and man is most of all given to contention.


tafseer:
And nothing prevents men from believing when the guidance comes to them, and from asking forgiveness of their Lord, except that what happened to the ancients should overtake them, or that the chastisement should come face to face with them.


tafseer:
And We do not send messengers but as givers of good news and warning, and those who disbelieve make a false contention that they may render null thereby the truth, and they take My communications and that with which they are warned for a mockery.


tafseer:
And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the communications of his Lord, then he turns away from them and forgets what his two hands have sent before? Surely We have placed veils over their hearts lest they should understand it and a heaviness in their ears


tafseer:
And (as for) these towns, We destroyed them when they acted unjustly, and We have appointed a time for their destruction.


tafseer:
And when Musa said to his servant: I will not cease until I reach the junction of the two rivers or I will go on for years.


tafseer:
So when they had reached the junction of the two (rivers) they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the sea, going away.


tafseer:
But when they had gone farther, he said to his servant: Bring to us our morning meal, certainly we have met with fatigue from this our journey.


tafseer:
He said: Did you see when we took refuge on the rock then I forgot the fish, and nothing made me forget to speak of it but the Shaitan, and it took its way into the river


tafseer:
Then they found one from among Our servants whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had taught knowledge from Ourselves.


tafseer:
Musa said to him: Shall I follow you on condition that you should teach me right knowledge of what you have been taught?


tafseer:
He said: If you would follow me, then do not question me about any thing until I myself speak to you about it


tafseer:
So they went (their way) until when they embarked in the boat he made a hole in it. (Musa) said: Have you made a hole in it to drown its inmates? Certainly you have done a grievous thing.


tafseer:
So they went on until, when they met a boy, he slew him. (Musa) said: Have you slain an innocent person otherwise than for manslaughter? Certainly you have done an evil thing.


tafseer:
So they went on until when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they found in it a wall which was on the point of falling, so he put it into a right state. (Musa) said: If you had pleased, you might certainly have taken a recompense for it.


tafseer:
As for the boat, it belonged to (some) poor men who worked on the river and I wished that I should damage it, and there was behind them a king who seized every boat by force.


tafseer:
And as for the boy, his parents were believers and we feared lest he should make disobedience and ingratitude to come upon them:


tafseer:
So we desired that their Lord might give them in his place one better than him in purity and nearer to having compassion.


tafseer:
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them, and their father was a righteous man


tafseer:
Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit.


tafseer:
He said: As to him who is injust, we will chastise him, then shall he be returned to his Lord, and He will chastise him with an exemplary chastisement:


tafseer:
And as for him who believes and does good, he shall have goodly reward, and We will speak to him an easy word of Our command.


tafseer:
Until when he reached the land of the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people to whom We had given no shelter from It


tafseer:
Until when he reached (a place) between the two mountains, he found on that side of them a people who could hardly understand a word.


tafseer:
They said: O Zulqarnain! surely Gog and Magog make mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute on condition that you should raise a barrier between us and them


tafseer:
He said: That in which my Lord has established me is better, therefore you only help me with workers, I will make a fortified barrier between you and them


tafseer:
He said: This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the promise of my Lord comes to pass He will make it level with the ground, and the promise of my Lord is ever true.


tafseer:
And on that day We will leave a part of them in conflict with another part, and the trumpet will be blown, so We will gather them all together


tafseer:
What! do then those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants to be guardians besides Me? Surely We have prepared hell for the entertainment of the unbelievers.


tafseer:
(These are) they whose labor is lost in this world´s life and they think that they are well versed in skill of the work of hands.


tafseer:
These are they who disbelieve in the communications of their Lord and His meeting, so their deeds become null, and therefore We will not set up a balance for them on the day of resurrection.


tafseer:
Thus it is that their recompense is hell, because they disbelieved and held My communications and My messengers in mockery.


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, their place of entertainment shall be the gardens of paradise,


tafseer:
Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would surely be consumed before the words of my Lord are exhausted, though We were to bring the like of that (sea) to add


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! surely my bones are weakened and my head flares with hoariness, and, my Lord! I have never been unsuccessful in my prayer to Thee:


tafseer:
And surely I fear my cousins after me, and my wife is barren, therefore grant me from Thyself an heir,


tafseer:
Who should inherit me and inherit from the children of Yaqoub, and make him, my Lord, one in whom Thou art well pleased.


tafseer:
O Zakariya! surely We give you good news of a boy whose name shall be Yahya: We have not made before anyone his equal.


tafseer:
He said: O my Lord! when shall I have a son, and my wife is barren, and I myself have reached indeed the extreme degree of old age?


tafseer:
He said: So shall it be, your Lord says: It is easy to Me, and indeed I created you before, when you were nothing.


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! give me a sign. He said: Your sign is that you will not be able to speak to the people three nights while in sound health.


tafseer:
So he went forth to his people from his place of worship, then he made known to them that they should glorify (Allah) morning and evening.


tafseer:
And peace on him on the day he was born, and on the day he dies, and on the day he is raised to life


tafseer:
She said: Surely I fly for refuge from you to the Beneficent Allah, if you are one guarding (against evil).


tafseer:
And the throes (of childbirth) compelled her to betake herself to the trunk of a palm tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten!


tafseer:
Then (the child) called out to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely your Lord has made a stream to flow beneath you


tafseer:
So eat and drink and refresh the eye. Then if you see any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent Allah, so I shall not speak to any man today.


tafseer:
And she came to her people with him, carrying him (with her). They said: O Marium! surely you have done a strange thing.


tafseer:
And He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer and poor-rate so long as I live


tafseer:
But parties from among them disagreed with each other, so woe to those who disbelieve, because of presence on a great


tafseer:
O my father! truly the knowledge has come to me which has not come to you, therefore follow me, I will guide you on a right path:


tafseer:
O my father! surely I fear that a punishment from the Beneficent Allah should afflict you so that you should be a friend of the Shaitan.


tafseer:
He said: Do you dislike my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not desist I will certainly revile you, and leave me for a time.


tafseer:
So when he withdrew from them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub, and each one of them We made a prophet.


tafseer:
And We granted to them of Our mercy, and We left (behind them) a truthful mention of eminence for them.


tafseer:
And We called to him from the blessed side of the mountain, and We made him draw nigh, holding communion (with Us).


tafseer:
These are they on whom Allah bestowed favors, from among the prophets of the seed of Adam, and of those whom We carried with Nuh, and of the seed of Ibrahim and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose


tafseer:
But there came after them an evil generation, who neglected prayers and followed and sensual desires, so they win meet perdition,


tafseer:
Except such as repent and believe and do good, these shall enter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly in any way:


tafseer:
They shall not hear therein any vain discourse, but only: Peace, and they shall have their sustenance therein morning and evening.


tafseer:
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, so serve Him and be patient in His service. Do you know any one equal to Him?


tafseer:
So by your Lord! We will most certainly gather them together and the Shaitans, then shall We certainly cause them to be present round hell on their knees.


tafseer:
Then We will most certainly draw forth from every sect of them him who is most exorbitantly rebellious against the Beneficent Allah.


tafseer:
And We will deliver those who guarded (against evil), and We will leave the unjust therein on their knees.


tafseer:
And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two parties is best in abiding and best in assembly?


tafseer:
And how many of the generations have We destroyed before them who were better in respect of goods and outward appearance!


tafseer:
Say: As for him who remains in error, the Beneficent Allah will surely prolong his length of days, until they see what they were threatened with, either the punishment or the hour


tafseer:
Have you, then, seen him who disbelieves in Our communications and says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children?


tafseer:
The day on which We will gather those who guard (against evil) to the Beneficent Allah to receive honors


tafseer:
The heavens may almost be rent thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in pieces,


tafseer:
Certainly He has a comprehensive knowledge of them and He has numbered them a (comprehensive) numbering.


tafseer:
So We have only made it easy in your tongue that you may give good news thereby to those who guard (against evil) and warn thereby a vehemently contentious people.


tafseer:
And how many a generation have We destroyed before them! Do you see any one of them or hear a sound of them?


tafseer:
His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and what is between them two and what is beneath the ground.


tafseer:
When he saw fire, he said to his family: Stop, for surely I see a fire, haply I may bring to you therefrom a live coal or find a guidance at the fire.


tafseer:
Surely the hour is coming-- I am about to make it manifest-- so that every soul may be rewarded as it strives:


tafseer:
Therefore let not him who believes not in it and follows his low desires turn you away from it so that you should perish


tafseer:
He said: This is my staff: I recline on it and I beat the leaves with it to make them fall upon my sheep, and I have other uses for it.


tafseer:
Saying: Put him into a chest, then cast it down into the river, then the river shall throw him on the shore


tafseer:
When your sister went and said: Shall I direct you to one who will take charge of him? So We brought you back to your mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve and you killed a man, then We delivered you from the grief, and We tried you with (a severe) trying. Then you stayed for years among the people of Madyan


tafseer:
Both said: O our Lord! Surely we fear that he may hasten to do evil to us or that he may become inordinate.


tafseer:
Surely it has been revealed to us that the chastisement will surely come upon him who rejects and turns back.


tafseer:
Who made the earth for you an expanse and made for you therein paths and sent down water from the cloud


tafseer:
From it We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We raise you a second time.


tafseer:
So we too will produce before you magic like it, therefore make between us and you an appointment, which we should not break, (neither) we nor you, (in) a central place.


tafseer:
(Musa) said: Your appointment is the day of the Festival and let the people be gathered together in the early forenoon.


tafseer:
Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (a lie) indeed fails to attain (his desire).


tafseer:
They said: These are most surely two magicians who wish to turn you out from your land by their magic and to take away your best traditions.


tafseer:
Therefore settle your plan, then come standing in ranks and he will prosper indeed this day who overcomes.


tafseer:
He said: Nay! cast down. then lo! their cords and their rods-- it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if they were running.


tafseer:
They said: We do not prefer you to what has come to us of clear arguments and to He Who made us, therefore decide what you are going to decide


tafseer:
Surely we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and the magic to which you compelled us


tafseer:
And whoever comes to Him a believer (and) he has done good deeds indeed, these it is who shall have the high ranks,


tafseer:
And certainly We revealed to Musa, saying: Travel by night with My servants, then make for them a dry path in the sea, not fearing to be overtaken, nor being afraid.


tafseer:
And Firon followed them with his armies, so there came upon them of the sea that which came upon them.


tafseer:
O children of Israel! indeed We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the blessed side of the mountain, and We sent to you the manna and the quails.


tafseer:
Eat of the good things We have given you for sustenance, and be not inordinate with respect to them, lest My wrath should be due to you, and to whomsoever My wrath is due be shall perish indeed.


tafseer:
And most surely I am most Forgiving to him who repents and believes and does good, then continues to follow the right direction.


tafseer:
He said: They are here on my track and I hastened on to Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be pleased.


tafseer:
So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he: O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: did then the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasure from your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your) promise to me?


tafseer:
They said: We did not break (our) promise to you of our own accord, but we were made to bear the burdens of the ornaments of the people, then we made a casting of them, and thus did the Samiri suggest.


tafseer:
So he brought forth for them a calf, a (mere) body, which had a mooing sound, so they said: This is your god and the god of Musa, but he forgot.


tafseer:
What! could they not see that it did not return to them a reply, and (that) it did not control any harm or benefit for them?


tafseer:
And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order.


tafseer:
He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting


tafseer:
On that day they shall follow the inviter, there is no crookedness in him, and the voices shall be low before the Beneficent Allah so that you shall not hear aught but a soft sound.


tafseer:
On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent Allah allows and whose word He is pleased with.


tafseer:
And the faces shall be humbled before the Living, the Self-subsistent Allah, and he who bears iniquity is indeed a failure.


tafseer:
And whoever does good works and he is a believer, he shall have no fear of injustice nor of the withholding of his due.


tafseer:
And thus have We sent it down an Arabic Quran, and have distinctly set forth therein of threats that they may guard (against evil) or that it may produce a reminder for them.


tafseer:
Supremely exalted is therefore Allah, the King, the Truth, and do not make haste with the Quran before its revelation is made complete to you and say: O my Lord! increase me in knowledge.


tafseer:
Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so his life became evil (to him).


tafseer:
He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy


tafseer:
And whoever turns away from My reminder, his shall be a straitened life, and We will raise him on the day of resurrection, blind.


tafseer:
And thus do We recompense him who is extravagant and does not believe in the communications of his Lord, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is severer and more


tafseer:
Does it not then direct them aright how many of the generations In whose dwelling-places they go about We destroyed before them? Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.


tafseer:
And had there not been a word (that had) already gone forth from your Lord and an appointed term, it would surely have been made to cleave (to them).


tafseer:
Bear then patiently what they say, and glorify your Lord by the praising of Him before the rising of the sun and before its setting, and during hours of the night do also glorify (Him) and during parts of the day, that you may be well pleased


tafseer:
And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor of this world´s life, that We may thereby try them


tafseer:
And they say: Why does he not bring to us a sign from his Lord? Has not there come to them a clear evidence of what is in the previous books?


tafseer:
And had We destroyed them with chastisement before this, they would certainly have said: O our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us a messenger, for then we should have followed Thy communications before that we met disgrace and shame.


tafseer:
Say: Every one (of us) is awaiting, therefore do await: So you will come to know who is the follower of the even path and who goes aright.


tafseer:
He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.


tafseer:
And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you do not


tafseer:
Then We made Our promise good to them, so We delivered them and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the ex


tafseer:
Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made to lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will be questioned.


tafseer:
Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made it from before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it).


tafseer:
If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder


tafseer:
And We did not send before you any messenger but We revealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serve Me.


tafseer:
And they say: The Beneficent Allah has taken to Himself a son. Glory be to Him. Nay! they are honored servants


tafseer:
He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves and for fear of Him they tremble.


tafseer:
And whoever of them should say: Surely I am a god besides Him, such a one do We recompense with hell


tafseer:
Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them


tafseer:
And We have made great mountains in the earth lest it might be convulsed with them, and We have made in it wide ways that they may follow a right direction.


tafseer:
And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take you but for one to be scoffed at: Is this he who speaks of your gods? And they are deniers at the mention of the Beneficent Allah.


tafseer:
Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped.


tafseer:
Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited.


tafseer:
And certainly messengers before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed.


tafseer:
Say: Who guards you by night and by day from the Beneficent Allah? Nay, they turn aside at the mention of their Lord.


tafseer:
Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? They shall not be able to assist themselves, nor shall they be defended from Us.


tafseer:
Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers until life was prolonged to them. Do they not then see that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall they then prevail?


tafseer:
And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to touch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.


tafseer:
And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least


tafseer:
And certainly We gave to Musa and Haroun the Furqan and a light and a reminder for those who would guard (against evil).


tafseer:
He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am of those who bear witness to this:


tafseer:
He said: What! do you then serve besides Allah what brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?


tafseer:
And We delivered him as well as Lut (removing them) to the land which We had blessed for all people.


tafseer:
And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command, and We revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us (alone) did they serve


tafseer:
And (as for) Lut, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and We delivered him from the town which wrought abominations


tafseer:
And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him, and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity.


tafseer:
And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgment concerning the field when the people´s sheep pastured therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their judgment.


tafseer:
And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violent, pursuing its course by his command to the land which We had blessed, and We are knower of ail things.


tafseer:
And of the rebellious people there were those who dived for him and did other work besides that, and We kept guard over them


tafseer:
And Ayub, when he cried to his Lord, (saying): Harm has afflicted me, and Thou art the most Merciful of the merciful.


tafseer:
Therefore We responded to him and took off what harm he had, and We gave him his family and the like of them with them: a mercy from Us and a reminder to the worshippers.


tafseer:
And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought that We would not straiten him, so he called out among afflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee


tafseer:
And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration and made her and her son a sign for the nations.


tafseer:
Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion, and surely We will write (It) down for him.


tafseer:
And the true promise shall draw nigh, then lo! the eyes of those who disbelieved shall be fixedly open: O woe to us! surely we were in a state of heedlessness as to this


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those for whom the good has already gone forth from Us, they shall be kept far off from it


tafseer:
The great fearful event shall not grieve them, and the angels shall meet them: This is your day which you were promised.


tafseer:
On the day when We will roll up heaven like the rolling up of the scroll for writings, as We originated the first creation, (so) We shall reproduce it


tafseer:
And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminder that (as for) the land, My righteous servants shall inherit it.


tafseer:
But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning in fairness and I do not know whether what you are threatened with is near or far


tafseer:
On the day when you shall see it, every woman giving suck shall quit in confusion what she suckled, and every pregnant woman shall lay down her burden, and you shall see men intoxicated, and they shall not be intoxicated but the chastisement of Allah will be severe.


tafseer:
And among men there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and follows every rebellious Shaitan


tafseer:
Against him it is written down that whoever takes him for a friend, he shall lead him astray and conduct him to the chastisement of the burning fire.


tafseer:
O people! if you are in doubt about the raising, then surely We created you from dust, then from a small seed, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, complete in make and incomplete, that We may make clear to you


tafseer:
This is because Allah is the Truth and because He gives life to the dead and because He has power over all things


tafseer:
And among men there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and without guidance and without an illuminating book,


tafseer:
This is due to what your two hands have sent before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants.


tafseer:
And among men is he who serves Allah (standing) on the verge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflict him he turns back headlong


tafseer:
He calls besides Allah upon that which does not harm him and that which does not profit him, that is the great straying.


tafseer:
Surely Allah will cause those who believe and do good deeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, surely Allah does what He pleases.


tafseer:
Whoever thinks that Allah will not assist him in this life and the hereafter, let him stretch a rope to the ceiling, then let him cut (it) off, then let him see if his struggle will take away that at which he is enraged.


tafseer:
Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associate (others with Allah)-- surely Allah will decide between them on the day of resurrection


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah is He, Whom obeys whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people


tafseer:
Whenever they will desire to go forth from it, from grief, they shall be turned back into it, and taste the chastisement of burning.


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, and hinder (men) from Allah´s way and from the Sacred Mosque which We have made equally for all men, (for) the dweller therein and (for) the visitor, and whoever shall incline therein to wrong unjustly, We will make him taste of a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
And when We assigned to Ibrahim the place of the House, saying: Do not associate with Me aught, and purify My House for those who make the circuit and stand to pray and bow and prostrate themselves.


tafseer:
And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage: they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path,


tafseer:
That they may witness advantages for them and mention the name of Allah during stated days over what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds, then eat of them and feed the distressed one, the needy.


tafseer:
Then let them accomplish their needful acts of shaving and cleansing, and let them fulfil their vows and let them go round the Ancient House.


tafseer:
Being upright for Allah, not associating aught with Him and whoever associates (others) with Allah, it is as though he had fallen from on high, then the birds snatch him away or the wind carries him off to a far-distant place.


tafseer:
And to every nation We appointed acts of devotion that they may mention the name of Allah on what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds


tafseer:
(To) those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who are patient under that which afflicts them, and those who keep up prayer, and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them.


tafseer:
There does not reach Allah their flesh nor their blood, but to Him is acceptable the guarding (against evil) on your part


tafseer:
Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them


tafseer:
Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah. And had there not been Allah´s repelling some people by others, certainly there would have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah´s name is much remembered


tafseer:
Those who, should We establish them in the land, will keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and enjoin good and forbid evil


tafseer:
And if they reject you, then already before you did the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood reject (prophets).


tafseer:
As well as those of Madyan and Musa (too) was rejected, but I gave respite to the unbelievers, then did I overtake them, so how (severe) was My disapproval.


tafseer:
So how many a town did We destroy while it was unjust, so it was fallen down upon its roofs, and (how many a) deserted well and palace raised high.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the land so that they should have hearts with which to understand, or ears with which to hear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the breasts.


tafseer:
And they ask you to hasten on the punishment, and Allah will by no means fail in His promise, and surely a day with your Lord is as a thousand years of what you number.


tafseer:
And how many a town to which I gave respite while it was unjust, then I overtook it, and to Me is the return.


tafseer:
Then (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have forgiveness and an honorable sustenance.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who strive to oppose Our communications, they shall be the inmates of the flaming fire.


tafseer:
And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet, but when he desired, the Shaitan made a suggestion respecting his desire


tafseer:
So that He may make what the Shaitan casts a trial for those in whose hearts is disease and those whose hearts are hard


tafseer:
And that those who have been given the knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord, so they may believe in it and their hearts may be lowly before it


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve shall not cease to be in doubt concerning it until the hour overtakes them suddenly, or there comes on them the chastisement of a destructive day.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who disbelieve in and reject Our communications, these it is who shall have a disgraceful chastisement.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who fly in Allah´s way and are then slain or die, Allah will most certainly grant them a goodly sustenance, and most surely Allah is the best Giver of sustenance.


tafseer:
He will certainly cause them to enter a place of entrance which they shall be well pleased with, and most surely Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.


tafseer:
That is because Allah causes the night to enter into the day and causes the day to enter into the night, and because Allah is Hearing, Seeing.


tafseer:
That is because Allah is the Truth, and that what they call upon besides Him-- that is the falsehood, and because Allah is the High, the Great.


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud so the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Benignant, Aware.


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the earth and the ships running in the sea by His command? And He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except with His permission


tafseer:
And He it is Who has brought you to life, then He will cause you to die, then bring you to life (again)


tafseer:
To every nation We appointed acts of devotion which they observe, therefore they should not dispute with you about the matter and call to your Lord


tafseer:
And they serve besides Allah that for which He has not sent any authority, and that of which they have no knowledge


tafseer:
And when Our clear communications are recited to them you will find denial on the faces of those who disbelieve


tafseer:
O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen to it: surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot create fly, though they should all gather for it, and should the fly snatch away anything from them, they could not take it back from i weak are the invoker and the invoked.


tafseer:
O you who believe! bow down and prostrate yourselves and serve your Lord, and do good that you may succeed.


tafseer:
Except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blameable,


tafseer:
Then We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot a lump of flesh, then We made (in) the lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it to grow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators.


tafseer:
And We send down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We cause it to settle in the earth, and most surely We are able to carry it away.


tafseer:
And most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle: We make you to drink of what is in their bellies, and you have in them many advantages and of them you eat,


tafseer:
And certainly We sent Nuh to his people, and he said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him


tafseer:
And the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves who desires that he may have superiority over you, and if Allah had pleased, He could certainly have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our fathers of yore:


tafseer:
And when you are firmly seated, you and those with you, in the ark, say: All praise is due to Allah who delivered us from the unjust people:


tafseer:
And say: O my Lord! cause me to disembark a blessed alighting, and Thou art the best to cause to alight.


tafseer:
So We sent among them a messenger from among them, saying: Serve Allah, you have no god other than Him


tafseer:
And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and called the meeting of the hereafter a lie, and whom We had given plenty to enjoy in this world´s life, said: This is nothing but a mortal like yourselves, eating of what you eat from and drinking of what you drink.


tafseer:
What! does he threaten you that when you are dead and become dust and bones that you shall then be brought forth?


tafseer:
And We made the son of Marium and his mother a sign, and We gave them a shelter on a lofty ground having meadows and springs.


tafseer:
And surely this your religion is one religion and I am your Lord, therefore be careful (of your duty) to Me.


tafseer:
But they cut off their religion among themselves into sects, each part rejoicing in that which is with them.


tafseer:
And those who give what they give (in alms) while their hearts are full of fear that to their Lord they must return,


tafseer:
And We do not lay on any soul a burden except to the extent of its ability, and with Us is a book which speaks the truth, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.


tafseer:
Nay, their hearts are in overwhelming ignorance with respect to it and they have besides this other deeds which they do.


tafseer:
Until when We overtake those who lead easy lives among them with punishment, lo! they cry for succor.


tafseer:
Is it then that they do not ponder over what is said, or is it that there has come to them that which did not come to their fathers of old?


tafseer:
Or do they say: There is madness in him? Nay! he has brought them the truth, and most of them are averse from the truth.


tafseer:
And should the truth follow their low desires, surely the heavens and the earth and all those who are therein would have perished. Nay! We have brought to them their reminder, but from their reminder they turn aside.


tafseer:
Or is it that you ask them a recompense? But the recompense of your Lord is best, and He is the best of those who provide sustenance.


tafseer:
And if We show mercy to them and remove the distress they have, they would persist in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.


tafseer:
And already We overtook them with chastisement, but they were not submissive to their Lord, nor do they humble themselves.


tafseer:
And He it is Who gives life and causes death, and (in) His (control) is the alternation of the night and the day


tafseer:
Say: Who is it in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things and Who gives succor, but against Him Succor is not given, if you do but know?


tafseer:
Never did Allah take to Himself a son, and never was there with him any (other) god-- in that case would each god have certainly taken away what he created, and some of them would certainly have overpowered others


tafseer:
So when the trumpet is blown, there shall be no ties of relationship between them on that day, nor shall they ask of each other.


tafseer:
And as for him whose good deeds are light, these are they who shall have lost their souls, abiding in hell


tafseer:
Surely there was a party of My servants who said: O our Lord! we believe, so do Thou forgive us and have mercy on us, and Thou art the best of the Merciful ones.


tafseer:
But you took them for a mockery until they made you forget My remembrance and you used to laugh at them.


tafseer:
And whoever invokes with Allah another god-- he has no proof of this-- his reckoning is only with his Lord


tafseer:
(This is) a chapter which We have revealed and made obligatory and in which We have revealed clear communications that you may be mindful.


tafseer:
(As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day, and let a party of believers witness their chastisement.


tafseer:
The fornicator shall not marry any but a fornicatress or idolatress, and (as for) the fornicatress, none shall marry her but a fornicator or an idolater


tafseer:
And those who accuse free women then do not bring four witnesses, flog them, (giving) eighty stripes, and do not admit any evidence from them ever


tafseer:
And (as for) those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, the evidence of one of these (should be taken) four times, bearing Allah to witness that he is most surely of the truthful ones.


tafseer:
And it shall avert the chastisement from her if she testify four times, bearing Allah to witness that he is most surely one of the liars


tafseer:
And were it not for Allah´s grace upon you and His mercy-- and that Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), Wise!


tafseer:
Why did not the believing men and the believing women, when you heard it, think well of their own people, and say: This is an evident falsehood?


tafseer:
Why did they not bring four witnesses of it? But as they have not brought witnesses they are liars before Allah.


tafseer:
And were it not for Allah´s grace upon you and His mercy in this world and the hereafter, a grievous chastisement would certainly have touched you on account of the discourse which you entered into.


tafseer:
When you received it with your tongues and spoke with your mouths what you had no knowledge of, and you deemed it an easy matter while with Allah it was grievous.


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who love that scandal should circulate respecting those who believe, they shall have a grievous chastisement in this world and the hereafter


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan, and whoever follows the footsteps of the Shaitan, then surely he bids the doing of indecency and evil


tafseer:
And let not those of you who possess grace and abundance swear against giving to the near of kin and the poor and those who have fled in Allah´s way, and they should pardon and turn away. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
Surely those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware (of the evil), are cursed in this world and the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.


tafseer:
On the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet shall bear witness against them as to what they did.


tafseer:
On that day Allah will pay back to them in full their just reward, and they shall know that Allah is the evident Truth.


tafseer:
Bad women are for bad men and bad men are for bad women. Good women are for good men and good men are for good women


tafseer:
O you who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own houses until you have asked permission and saluted their inmates


tafseer:
And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts and do not display their ornaments except what appears thereof, and let them wear their head-coverings over their bosoms, and not display their ornaments except to their husbands or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or their brothers´ sons, or their sisters´ sons, or their women, or those whom their right hands possess, or the male servants not having need (of women), or the children who have not attained knowledge of what is hidden of women


tafseer:
And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves


tafseer:
And let those who do not find the means to marry keep chaste until Allah makes them free from want out of His grace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from among those whom your right hands possess, give them the writing if you know any good in them, and give them of the wealth of Allah which He has given you


tafseer:
And certainly We have sent to you clear communications and a description of those who have passed away before you, and an admonition to those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts from the remembrance of Allah and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of poor-rate


tafseer:
That Allah may give them the best reward of what they have done, and give them more out of His grace


tafseer:
And (as for) those who disbelieve, their deeds are like the mirage in a desert, which the thirsty man deems to be water


tafseer:
Or like utter darkness in the deep sea: there covers it a wave above which is another wave, above which is a cloud, (layers of) utter darkness one above another


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah is He Whom do glorify all those who are in the heavens and the earth, and the (very) birds with expanded wings? He knows the prayer of each one and its glorification, and Allah is Cognizant of what they do.


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah drives along the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them up, so that you see the rain coming forth from their midst? And He sends down of the clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail, afflicting therewith whom He pleases and turning it away from whom He pleases


tafseer:
And Allah has created from water every living creature: so of them is that which walks upon its belly, and of them is that which walks upon two feet, and of them is that which walks upon four


tafseer:
And when they are called to Allah and His Messenger that he may judge between them, lo! a party of them turn aside.


tafseer:
Is there in their hearts a disease, or are they in doubt, or do they fear that Allah and His Messenger will act wrongfully towards them? Nay! they themselves are the unjust.


tafseer:
The response of the believers, when they are invited to Allah and His Messenger that he may judge between them, is only to say: We hear and we obey


tafseer:
And he who obeys Allah and His Messenger, and fears Allah, and is careful of (his duty to) Him, these it is that are the achievers.


tafseer:
And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths that if you command them they would certainly go forth. Say: Swear not


tafseer:
Allah has promised to those of you who believe and do good that He will most certainly make them rulers in the earth as He made rulers those before them, and that He will most certainly establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them, and that He will most certainly, after their fear, give them security in exchange


tafseer:
O you who believe! let those whom your right hands possess and those of you who have not attained to puberty ask permission of you three times


tafseer:
And when the children among you have attained to puberty, let them seek permission as those before them sought permission


tafseer:
And (as for) women advanced in years who do not hope for a marriage, it is no sin for them if they put off their clothes without displaying their ornaments


tafseer:
There is no blame on the blind man, nor is there blame on the lame, nor is there blame on the sick, nor on yourselves that you eat from your houses, or your fathers´ houses or your mothers´ houses, or your brothers´ houses, or your sisters´ houses, or your paternal uncles´ houses, or your paternal aunts´ houses, or your maternal uncles´ houses, or your maternal aunts´ houses, or what you possess the keys of, or your friends´ (houses). It is no sin in you that you eat together or separately. So when you enter houses, greet your people with a salutation from Allah, blessed (and) goodly


tafseer:
Only those are believers who believe in Allah and His Messenger, and when they are with him on a momentous affair they go not away until they have asked his permission


tafseer:
He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who has no associate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, then ordained for it a measure.


tafseer:
And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and other people have helped him at it


tafseer:
And they say: The stories of the ancients-- he has got them written-- so these are read out to him morning and evening.


tafseer:
And they say: What is the matter with this Messenger that he eats food and goes about in the markets


tafseer:
Or (why is not) a treasure sent down to him, or he is made to have a garden from which he should eat? And the unjust say: You do not follow any but a man deprived of reason.


tafseer:
See what likenesses do they apply to you, so they have gone astray, therefore they shall not be able to find a way.


tafseer:
Blessed is He Who, if He please, will give you what is better than this, gardens beneath which rivers flow, and He will give you palaces.


tafseer:
When it shall come into their sight from a distant place, they shall hear its vehement raging and roaring.


tafseer:
Say: Is this better or the abiding garden which those who guard (against evil) are promised? That shall be a reward and a resort for them.


tafseer:
And on the day when He shall gather them, and whatever they served besides Allah, He shall say: Was it you who led astray these My servants, or did they themselves go astray from the path?


tafseer:
So they shall indeed give you the lie in what you say, then you shall not be able to ward off or help, and whoever among you is unjust, We will make him taste a great chastisement.


tafseer:
And We have not sent before you any messengers but they most surely ate food and went about in the markets


tafseer:
And those who do not hope for Our meeting, say: Why have not angels been sent down upon us, or (why) do we not see our Lord? Now certainly they are too proud of themselves and have revolted in great revolt.


tafseer:
On the day when they shall see the angels, there shall be no joy on that day for the guilty, and they shall say: It is a forbidden thing totally prohibited.


tafseer:
And We will proceed to what they have done of deeds, so We shall render them as scattered floating dust.


tafseer:
The dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in a better abiding-place and a better resting-place.


tafseer:
And on the day when the heaven shall burst asunder with the clouds, and the angels shall be sent down descending (in ranks).


tafseer:
The kingdom on that day shall rightly belong to the Beneficent Allah, and a hard day shall it be for the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And the day when the unjust one shall bite his hands saying: O! would that I had taken a way with the Messenger


tafseer:
And the Messenger cried out: O my Lord! surely my people have treated this Quran as a forsaken thing.


tafseer:
And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the sinners and sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and a Helper.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: Why has not the Quran been revealed to him all at once? Thus, that We may strengthen your heart by it and We have arranged it well in arranging.


tafseer:
And they shall not bring to you any argument, but We have brought to you (one) with truth and best in significance.


tafseer:
(As for) those who shall be gathered upon their faces to hell, they are in a worse plight and straying farther away from the path.


tafseer:
And the people of Nuh, when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and made them a sign for men, and We have prepared a painful punishment for the unjust


tafseer:
And when they see you, they do not take you for aught but a mockery: Is this he whom Allah has raised to be an messenger?


tafseer:
He had well-nigh led us astray from our gods had we not adhered to them patiently! And they will know, when they see the punishment, who is straying farther off from the path.


tafseer:
Have you not considered (the work of) your Lord, how He extends the shade? And if He had pleased He would certainly have made it stationary


tafseer:
And He it is Who made the night a covering for you, and the sleep a rest, and He made the day to rise up again.


tafseer:
That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.


tafseer:
And certainly We have repeated this to them that they may be mindful, but the greater number of men do not consent to aught except denying.


tafseer:
And He it is Who has made two seas to flow freely, the one sweet that subdues thirst by its sweetness, and the other salt that burns by its saltness


tafseer:
And He it is Who has created man from the water, then He has made for him blood relationship and marriage relationship, and your Lord is powerful.


tafseer:
Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and He is firmly established on the throne of authority


tafseer:
And when it is said to them: Prostrate to the Beneficent Allah, they say: And what is the Allah of beneficence? Shall we prostrate to what you bid us? And it adds to their aversion.


tafseer:
Blessed is He Who made the constellations in the heavens and made therein a lamp and a shining moon.


tafseer:
And He it is Who made the night and the day to follow each other for him who desires to be mindful or desires to be thankful.


tafseer:
And the servants of the Beneficent Allah are they who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace.


tafseer:
And they who say: O our Lord! turn away from us the punishment of hell, surely the punishment thereof is a lasting


tafseer:
And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the just mean.


tafseer:
And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and he who does this shall find a requital of sin


tafseer:
The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of resurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement


tafseer:
And they who do not bear witness to what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly.


tafseer:
And they who, when reminded of the communications of their Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf and blind.


tafseer:
And they who say: O our Lord! grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes, and make us guides to those who guard (against evil).


tafseer:
These shall be rewarded with high places because they were patient, and shall be met therein with greetings and salutations.


tafseer:
If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.


tafseer:
And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.


tafseer:
So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.


tafseer:
(Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?


tafseer:
So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon´s power, we shall most surely be victorious.


tafseer:
And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.


tafseer:
So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.


tafseer:
Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.


tafseer:
Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.


tafseer:
So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.


tafseer:
So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.


tafseer:
Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed


tafseer:
As to those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have surely made their deeds fair-seeming to them, but they blindly wander on.


tafseer:
These are they who shall have an evil punishment, and in the hereafter they shall be the greatest losers.


tafseer:
So when he came to it a voice was uttered saying: Blessed is Whoever is in the fire and whatever is about it


tafseer:
And cast down your staff. So when he saw it in motion as if it were a serpent, he turned back retreating and did not return: O Musa! fear not


tafseer:
Neither he who has been unjust, then he does good instead after evil, for surely I am the Forgiving, the Merciful:


tafseer:
And certainly We gave knowledge to Dawood and Sulaiman, and they both said: Praise be to Allah, Who has made us to excel many of His believing servants.


tafseer:
And Sulaiman was Dawood´s heir, and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things


tafseer:
And his hosts of the jinn and the men and the birds were gathered to him, and they were formed into groups.


tafseer:
Until when they came to the valley of the Naml, a Namlite said: O Naml! enter your houses, (that) Sulaiman and his hosts may not crush you while they do not know.


tafseer:
So he smiled, wondering at her word, and said: My Lord! grant me that I should be grateful for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I should do good such as Thou art pleased with, and make me enter, by Thy mercy, into Thy servants, the good ones.


tafseer:
And he reviewed the birds, then said: How is it I see not the hoopoe or is it that he is of the absentees?


tafseer:
I will most certainly punish him with a severe punishment, or kill him, or he shall bring to me a clear plea.


tafseer:
And he tarried not long, then said: I comprehend that which you do not comprehend and I have brought to you a sure information from Sheba.


tafseer:
Surely I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given abundance and she has a mighty throne:


tafseer:
I found her and her people adoring the sun instead of Allah, and the Shaitan has made their deeds fair-seeming to them and thus turned them from the way, so they do not go aright


tafseer:
That they do not make obeisance to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows what you hide and what you make manifest:


tafseer:
Take this my letter and hand it over to them, then turn away from them and see what (answer) they return.


tafseer:
She said: O chiefs! give me advice respecting my affair: I never decide an affair until you are in my presence.


tafseer:
They said: We are possessors of strength and possessors of mighty prowess, and the command is yours, therefore see what you will command.


tafseer:
She said: Surely the kings, when they enter a town, ruin it and make the noblest of its people to be low, and thus they (always) do


tafseer:
And surely I am going to send a present to them, and shall wait to see what (answer) do the messengers bring back.


tafseer:
So when he came to Sulaiman, he said: What! will you help me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Nay, you are exultant because of your present


tafseer:
Go back to them, so we will most certainly come to them with hosts which they shall have no power to oppose, and we will most certainly expel them therefrom in abasement, and they shall be in a state of ignominy.


tafseer:
One who had the knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye. Then when he saw it settled beside him, he said: This is of the grace of my Lord that He may try me whether I am grateful or ungrateful


tafseer:
He said: Alter her throne for her, we will see whether she follows the right way or is of those who do not go aright.


tafseer:
So when she came, it was said: Is your throne like this? She said: It is as it were the same, and we were given the knowledge before it, and we were submissive.


tafseer:
He said: O my people! why do you seek to hasten on the evil before the good? Why do you not ask forgiveness of Allah so that you may be dealt with mercifully?


tafseer:
They said: We have met with ill luck on account of you and on account of those with you. He said: The cause of your evil fortune is with Allah


tafseer:
They said: Swear to each other by Allah that we will certainly make a sudden attack on him and his family by night, then we will say to his heir: We did not witness the destruction of his family, and we are most surely truthful.


tafseer:
So those are their houses fallen down because they were unjust, most surely there is a sign in this for a people who know.


tafseer:
What! do you indeed approach men lustfully rather than women? Nay, you are a people who act ignorantly.


tafseer:
But the answer of his people was no other except that they ~s said: Turn out Lut´s followers from your town


tafseer:
Say: Praise be to Allah and peace on His servants whom He has chosen: is Allah better, or what they associate (with Him)?


tafseer:
Or, Who made the earth a restingplace, and made in it rivers, and raised on it mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! most of them do not know!


tafseer:
Or, Who answers the distressed one when he calls upon Him and removes the evil, and He will make you successors in the earth. Is there a god with Allah? Little is it that you mind!


tafseer:
Or, Who guides you in utter darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy. Is there a god with Allah? Exalted by Allah above what they associate (with Him).


tafseer:
Or, Who originates the creation, then reproduces it and Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth. Is there a god With Allah? Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: What! when we have become dust and our fathers (too), shall we certainly be brought forth?


tafseer:
Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do not make the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating.


tafseer:
And when the word shall come to pass against them, We shall bring forth for them a creature from the earth that shall i wound them, because people did not believe in Our communications.


tafseer:
And on the day when We will gather from every nation a party from among those who rejected Our communications, then they shall be formed into groups.


tafseer:
Until when they come, He will say: Did you reject My communications while you had no comprehensive knowledge of them? Or what was it that you did?


tafseer:
Do they not consider that We have made the night that. they may rest therein, and the day to give light? Most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe.


tafseer:
And on the day when the trumpet shall be blown, then those who are in the heavens and those who are in the earth shall be terrified except such as Allah please, and all shall come to him abased.


tafseer:
And you see the mountains, you think them to be solid, and they shall pass away as the passing away of the cloud-- the handiwork of Allah Who has made every thing thoroughly


tafseer:
I am commanded only that I should serve the Lord of this city, Who has made it sacred, and His are all things


tafseer:
And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes ´ astray, then say: I am only one of the warners.


tafseer:
Surely Firon exalted himself in the land and made its people into parties, weakening one party from among them


tafseer:
And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them the Imams, and to make them the heirs,


tafseer:
And to grant them power in the land, and to make Firon and Haman and their hosts see from them what they feared.


tafseer:
And We revealed to Musa´s mothers, saying: Give him suck, then when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear nor grieve


tafseer:
And the heart of Musa´s mother was free (from anxiety) she would have almost disclosed it had We not strengthened her heart so that she might be of the believers.


tafseer:
And she said to his sister: Follow him up. So she watched him from a distance while they did not perceive,


tafseer:
And We ordained that he refused to suck any foster mother before, so she said: Shall I point out to you the people of a house who will take care of him for you, and they will be benevolent to him?


tafseer:
So We gave him back to his mother that her eye might be refreshed, and that she might no grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true, but most of them do not know.


tafseer:
And he went into the city at a time of unvigilance on the part of its people, so he found therein two men fighting, one being of his party and the other of his foes, and he who was of his party cried out to him for help against him who was of his enemies, so Musa struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: This is on account of the Shaitan´s doing


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast bestowed a favor on me, I shall never be a backer of the guilty.


tafseer:
And he was in the city, fearing, awaiting, when lo! he who had asked his assistance the day before was crying out to him for aid. Musa said to him: You are most surely one erring manifestly.


tafseer:
So when he desired to seize him who was an enemy to them both, he said: O Musa! do you intend to kill me as you killed a person yesterday? You desire nothing but that you should be a tyrant in the land, and you do not desire to be of those who act aright.


tafseer:
And a man came running from the remotest part of the city. He said: O Musa! surely the chiefs are consulting together to slay you, therefore depart (at once)


tafseer:
So he went forth therefrom, fearing, awaiting, (and) he said: My Lord! deliver me from the unjust people.


tafseer:
And when he came to the water of Madyan, he found on it a group of men watering, and he found besides them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What is the matter with you? They said: We cannot water until the shepherds take away (their sheep) from the water, and our father is a very old man.


tafseer:
So he watered (their sheep) for them, then went back to the shade and said: My Lord! surely I stand in need of whatever good Thou mayest send down to me.


tafseer:
Then one of the two women came to him walking bashfully. She said: My father invites you that he may give you the reward of your having watered for us. So when he came to him and gave to him the account, he said: Fear not, you are secure from the unjust people.


tafseer:
Said one of them: O my father! employ him, surely the best of those that you can employ is the strong man, the faithful one.


tafseer:
He said: I desire to marry one of these two daughters of mine to you on condition that you should serve me for eight years


tafseer:
So when Musa had fulfilled the term, and he journeyed with his family, he perceived on this side of the mountain a fire. He said to his family: Wait, I have seen a fire, maybe I will bring to you from it some news or a brand of fire, so that you may warm yourselves.


tafseer:
And when he came to it, a voice was uttered from the right side of the valley in the blessed spot of the bush, saying: O Musa! surely I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
And saying: Cast down you staff. So when he saw it in motion as if it were a serpent, he turned back retreating, and did not return. O Musa! come forward and fear not


tafseer:
Enter your hand into the opening of your bosom, it will come forth white without evil, and draw your hand to yourself to ward off fear: so these two shall be two arguments from your Lord to Firon and his chiefs, surely they are a transgressing people.


tafseer:
And my brother, Haroun, he is more eloquent of tongue than I, therefore send him with me as an aider, verifying me: surely I fear that they would reject me.


tafseer:
He said: We will strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will give you both an authority, so that they shall not reach you


tafseer:
So when Musa came to them with Our clear signs, they said: This is nothing but forged enchantment, and we never heard of it amongst our fathers of old.


tafseer:
And Musa said: My Lord knows best who comes with guidance from Him, and whose shall be the good end of the abode


tafseer:
And he was unjustly proud in the land, he and his hosts, and they deemed that they would not be brought back to Us.


tafseer:
So We caught hold of him and his hosts, then We cast them into the sea, and see how was the end of the unjust.


tafseer:
And We made them Imams who call to the fire, and on the day of resurrection they shall not be assisted.


tafseer:
And We caused a curse to follow them in this world, and on the day of resurrection they shall be of those made to appear hideous.


tafseer:
And certainly We gave Musa the Book after We had destroyed the former generations, clear arguments for men and a guidance and a mercy, that they may be mindful.


tafseer:
And you were not on the western side when We revealed to Musa the commandment, and you were not among the witnesses


tafseer:
And you were not on this side of the mountain when We called, but a mercy from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner came before you, that they may be mindful.


tafseer:
And were it not that there should befall them a disaster for what their hands have sent before, then they should say: Our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us a messenger so that we should have followed Thy communications and been of the believers!


tafseer:
But (now) when the truth has come to them from Us, they say: Why is he not given the like of what was given to Musa? What! did they not disbelieve in what Musa was given before? They say: Two magicians backing up each other


tafseer:
Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah which is a better guide than both of them, (that) I may follow it, if you are truthful.


tafseer:
These shall be granted their reward twice, because they are steadfast and they repel evil with good and spend out of what We have given them.


tafseer:
And when they hear idle talk they turn aside from it and say: We shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds


tafseer:
Surely you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He pleases, and He knows best the followers of the right way.


tafseer:
And they say: If we follow the guidance with you, we shall be carried off from our country. What! have We not settled them in a safe, sacred territory to which fruits of every kind shall be drawn?-- a sustenance from Us


tafseer:
And how many a town have We destroyed which exulted in its means of subsistence, so these are their abodes, they have not been dwelt in after them except a little, and We are the inheritors,


tafseer:
And your Lord never destroyed the towns until He raised in their metropolis a messenger, reciting to them Our communications, and We never destroyed the towns except when their people were unjust.


tafseer:
And whatever things you have been given are only a provision of this world´s life and its adornment, and whatever is with Allah is better and more lasting


tafseer:
Is he to whom We have promised a goodly promise which he shall meet with like him whom We have provided with the provisions of this world´s life, then on the day of resurrection he shall be of those who are brought up?


tafseer:
Those against whom the sentence has become confirmed will say: Our Lord! these are they whom we caused to err


tafseer:
And it will be said: Call your associate-gods. So they will call upon them, but they will not answer them, and they shall see the punishment


tafseer:
And He is Allah, there is no god but He! All praise is due to Him in this (life) and the hereafter, and His is the judgment, and to Him you shall be brought back.


tafseer:
Say: Tell me, if Allah were to make the night to continue incessantly on you till the day of resurrection, who is the god besides Allah that could bring you light? Do you not then hear?


tafseer:
Say: Tell me, if Allah were to make the day to continue incessantly on you till the day of resurrection, who is the god besides Allah that could bring you the night in which you take rest? Do you not then see?


tafseer:
And out of His mercy He has made for you the night and the day, that you may rest therein, and that you may seek of His grace, and that you may give thanks.


tafseer:
And on the day when He shall call them and say: Where are those whom you deemed to be My associates?


tafseer:
Surely Qaroun was of the people of Musa, but he rebelled against them, and We had given him of the treasures, so much so that his hoards of wealth would certainly weigh down a company of men possessed of great strength. When his people said to him: Do not exult, surely Allah does not love the exultant


tafseer:
And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers.


tafseer:
He said: I have been given this only on account of the knowledge I have. Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of the generations those who were mightier in strength than he and greater in assemblage? And the guilty shall not be asked about their faults.


tafseer:
So he went forth to his people in his finery. Those who desire this world´s life said: O would that we had the like of what Qaroun is given


tafseer:
And those who were given the knowledge said: Woe to you! Allah´s reward is better for him who believes and does good, and none is made to receive this except the patient.


tafseer:
And those who yearned for his place only the day before began to say: Ah! (know) that Allah amplifies and straitens the means of subsistence for whom He pleases of His servants


tafseer:
(As for) that future abode, We assign it to those who have no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to make mischief and the good end is for those who guard (against evil)


tafseer:
Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it, and whoever brings evil, those who do evil shall not be rewarded (for) aught except what they did.


tafseer:
Most surely He Who has made the Quran binding on you will bring you back to the destination. Say: My Lord knows best him who has brought the guidance and him who is in manifest error.


tafseer:
And you did not expect that the Book would be inspired to you, but it is a mercy from your Lord, therefore be not a backer-up of the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And let them not turn you aside from the communications of Allah after they have been revealed to you, and call (men) to your Lord and be not of the polytheists.


tafseer:
And certainly We tried those before them, so Allah will certainly know those who are true and He will certainly know the liars.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will most certainly do away with their evil deeds and We will most certainly reward them the best of what they did.


tafseer:
And We have enjoined on man goodness to his parents, and if they contend with you that you should associate (others) with Me, of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them, to Me is your return, so I will inform you of what you did.


tafseer:
And most certainly Allah will know those who believe and most certainly He will know the hypocrites.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs. And never shall they be the bearers of any of their wrongs


tafseer:
And most certainly they shall carry their own burdens, and other burdens with their own burdens, and most certainly they shall be questioned on the resurrection day as to what they forged.


tafseer:
And certainly We sent Nuh to his people, so he remained among them a thousand years save fifty years. And the deluge overtook them, while they were unjust.


tafseer:
You only worship idols besides Allah and you create a lie surely they whom you serve besides Allah do not control for you any sustenance, therefore seek the sustenance from Allah and serve Him and be grateful to Him


tafseer:
What! do they not consider how Allah originates the creation, then reproduces it? Surely that is easy to Allah.


tafseer:
Say: Travel in the earth and see how He makes the first creation, then Allah creates the latter creation


tafseer:
And you shall not escape in the earth nor in the heaven, and you have neither a protector nor a helper besides Allah.


tafseer:
And (as to) those who disbelieve in the communications of Allah and His meeting, they have despaired of My mercy, and these it is that shall have a painful punishment.


tafseer:
And he said: You have only taken for yourselves idols besides Allah by way of friendship between you in this world´s life, then on the resurrection day some of you shall deny others, and some of you shall curse others, and your abode is the fire, and you shall not have any helpers.


tafseer:
And We granted him Ishaq and Yaqoub, and caused the t prophethood and the book to remain in his seed, and We gave him his reward in this world, and in the hereafter he will most surely be among the good.


tafseer:
And (We sent) Lut when he said to his people: Most surely you are guilty of an indecency which none of the nations has ever done before you


tafseer:
What! do you come to the males and commit robbery on the highway, and you commit evil deeds in your assemblies? But nothing was the answer of his people except that they said: Bring on us Allah´s punishment, if you are one of the truthful.


tafseer:
And when Our messengers came to Ibrahim with the good news, they said: Surely we are going to destroy the people of this town, for its people are unjust.


tafseer:
And when Our messengers came to Lut he was grieved on account of them, and he felt powerless (to protect) them


tafseer:
Surely We will cause to come down upon the people of this town a punishment from heaven, because they transgressed.


tafseer:
And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shuaib, so he said: O my people! serve Allah and fear the latter day and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief.


tafseer:
But they rejected him, so a severe earthquake overtook them, and they became motionless bodies in their abode.


tafseer:
The parable of those who take guardians besides Allah is as the parable of the spider that makes for itself a house


tafseer:
And do not dispute with the followers of the Book except by what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, and say: We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our Allah and your Allah is One, and to Him do we submit.


tafseer:
And thus have We revealed the Book to you. So those whom We have given the Book believe in it, and of these there are those who believe in it, and none deny Our communications except the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And you did not recite before it any book, nor did you transcribe one with your right hand, for then could those who say untrue things have doubted.


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


tafseer:
Is it not enough for them that We have revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Most surely there is mercy in this and a reminder for a people who believe.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who believe and do good, We will certainly give them abode in the high places in gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein


tafseer:
And if you ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the sun and the moon subservient, they will certainly say, Allah. Whence are they then turned away?


tafseer:
Allah makes abundant the means of subsistence for whom He pleases of His servants, and straitens them for whom (He pleases) surely Allah is Cognizant of all things.


tafseer:
And if you ask them Who is it that sends down water from the clouds, then gives life to the earth with it after its death, they will certainly say, Allah. Say: All praise is due to Allah. Nay, most of them do not understand.


tafseer:
So when they ride in the ships they call upon Allah, being sincerely obedient to Him, but when He brings them safe to the land, lo! they associate others (with Him)


tafseer:
Do they not see that We have made a sacred territory secure, while men are carried off by force from around them? Will they still believe in the falsehood and disbelieve in the favour of Allah?


tafseer:
And who is more unjust than one who forges a lie against Allah, or gives the lie to the truth when it has come to him? Will not in hell be the abode of the unbelievers?


tafseer:
Do they not reflect within themselves: Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but with truth, and (for) an appointed term? And most surely most of the people are deniers of the meeting of their Lord.


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than these in prowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it in greater abundance than these have built on it, and there came to them their messengers with clear arguments


tafseer:
Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they | rejected the communications of Allah and used to mock them.


tafseer:
And they shall not have any intercessors from among their gods they have joined with Allah, and they shall be deniers of their associate-gods.


tafseer:
And at the time when the hour shall come, at that time they shall become separated one from the other.


tafseer:
And as to those who disbelieved and rejected Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter, these shall be brought over to the chastisement.


tafseer:
Therefore glory be to Allah when you enter upon the time of the evening and when you enter upon the time of the morning.


tafseer:
And to Him belongs praise in the heavens and the earth, and at nightfall and when you are at midday.


tafseer:
He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living, and gives life to the earth after its death, and thus shall you be brought forth.


tafseer:
And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion


tafseer:
And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your tongues and colors


tafseer:
And one of His signs is that He shows you the lightning for fear and for hope, and sends down water from the clouds then gives life therewith to the earth after its death


tafseer:
And one of His signs is that the heaven and the earth subsist by His command, then when He calls you with a (single) call from out of the earth, lo! you come forth.


tafseer:
He sets forth to you a parable relating to yourselves: Have you among those whom your right hands possess partners in what We have given you for sustenance, so that with respect to it you are alike


tafseer:
Then set your face upright for religion in the right state-- the nature made by Allah in which He has made men


tafseer:
Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him and keep up prayer and be not of the polytheists


tafseer:
And when harm afflicts men, they call upon their Lord, turning to Him, then when He makes them taste of mercy from Him, lo! some of them begin to associate (others) with their Lord,


tafseer:
Or, have We sent down upon them an authority so that it speaks of that which they associate with Him?


tafseer:
And when We make people taste of mercy they rejoice in it, and if an evil befall them for what their hands have already wrought, lo! they are in despair.


tafseer:
Do they not see that Allah makes ample provision for whom He pleases, or straitens? Most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe.


tafseer:
And whatever you lay out as usury, so that it may increase in the property of men, it shall not increase with Allah


tafseer:
Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance, then He causes you to die, then brings you to life. Is there any of your associate-gods who does aught of it? Glory be to Him, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).


tafseer:
Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return.


tafseer:
Then turn thy face straight to the right religion before there come from Allah the day which cannot be averted


tafseer:
Whoever disbelieves, he shall be responsible for his disbelief, and whoever does good, they prepare (good) for their own souls,


tafseer:
And one of His signs is that He sends forth the winds bearing good news, and that He may make your taste of His mercy, and that the ships may run by His command, and that you may seek of His grace, and that you may be grateful.


tafseer:
And certainly We sent before you messengers to their people, so they came to them with clear arguments, then We gave the punishment to those who were guilty


tafseer:
Allah is he Who sends forth the winds so they raise a cloud, then He spreads it forth in the sky as He pleases, and He breaks it up so that you see the rain coming forth from inside it


tafseer:
Look then at the signs of Allah´s mercy, how He gives life to the earth after its death, most surely He will raise the dead to life


tafseer:
And if We send a wind and they see it to be yellow, they would after that certainly continue to disbelieve


tafseer:
For surely you cannot, make the dead to hear and you cannot make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn back and


tafseer:
Nor can you lead away the blind out of their error. You cannot make to hear any but those who believe in Our communications so they shall submit.


tafseer:
Allah is He Who created you from a state of weakness then He gave strength after weakness, then ordained weakness and hoary hair after strength


tafseer:
And at the time when the hour shall come, the guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour


tafseer:
And those who are given knowledge and faith will say: Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah till the day of resurrection, so this is the day of resurrection, but you did not know.


tafseer:
But on that day their excuse shall not profit those who were unjust, nor shall they be regarded with goodwill.


tafseer:
And of men is he who takes instead frivolous discourse to lead astray from Allah´s path without knowledge, and to take it for a mockery


tafseer:
And when Our communications are recited to him, he turns back proudly, as if he had not heard them, as though in his ears were a heaviness, therefore announce to him a painful chastisement.


tafseer:
He created the heavens without pillars as you see them, and put mountains upon the earth lest it might convulse with you, and He spread in it animals of every kind


tafseer:
This is Allah´s creation, but show Me what those besides Him have created. Nay, the unjust are in manifest error


tafseer:
And certainly We gave wisdom to Luqman, saying: Be grateful to Allah. And whoever is grateful, he is on!y grateful for his own soul


tafseer:
And when Luqman said to his son while he admonished him: O my son! do not associate aught with Allah


tafseer:
And We have enjoined man in respect of his parents-- his mother bears him with faintings upon faintings and his weaning takes two years-- saying: Be grateful to Me and to both your parents


tafseer:
And if they contend with you that you should associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them, and keep company with them in this world kindly, and follow the way of him who turns to Me, then to Me is your return, then will I inform you of what you did--


tafseer:
O my son! surely if it is the very weight of the grain of a mustard-seed, even though it is in (the heart of) rock, or (high above) in the heaven or (deep down) in the earth, Allah will bring it (to light)


tafseer:
O my son! keep up prayer and enjoin the good and forbid the evil, and bear patiently that which befalls you


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah has made what is in the heavens and what is in the earth subservient to you, and made complete to you His favors outwardly and inwardly? And among men is he who disputes in respect of Allah though having no knowledge nor guidance, nor a book giving light.


tafseer:
And when it is said to them: Follow what Allah has revealed, they say: Nay, we follow that on which we found our fathers. What! though the Shaitan calls them to the chastisement of the burning fire!


tafseer:
And whoever submits himself wholly to Allah and he is the doer of good (to others), he indeed has taken hold of the firmest thing upon which one can lay hold


tafseer:
And if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say: Allah. Say: (All) praise is due to Allah


tafseer:
And were every tree that is in the earth (made into) pens and the sea (to supply it with ink), with seven more seas to increase it, the words of Allah would not come to an end


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah makes the night to enter into the day, and He makes the day to enter into the night, and He has made the sun and the moon subservient (to you)


tafseer:
This is because Allah is the Truth, and that which they call upon besides Him is the falsehood, and that Allah is the High, the Great.


tafseer:
Do you not see that the ships run on in the sea by Allah´s favor that He may show you of His signs? Most surely there are signs in this for every patient endurer, grateful one.


tafseer:
And when a wave like mountains covers them they call upon Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience, but when He brings them safe to the land, some of them follow the middle course


tafseer:
O people! guard against (the punishment of) your Lord and dread the day when a father shall not make any satisfaction for his son, nor shall the child be the maker of any satisfaction for his father


tafseer:
Surely Allah is He with Whom is the knowledge of the hour, and He sends down the rain and He knows what is in the wombs


tafseer:
Or do they say: He has forged it? Nay! it is the truth from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, that they may follow the right direction.


tafseer:
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and He mounted the throne (of authority)


tafseer:
Then He made him complete and breathed into him of His spirit, and made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts


tafseer:
And they say: What! when we have become lost in the earth, shall we then certainly be in a new creation? Nay! they are disbelievers in the meeting of their Lord.


tafseer:
Say: The angel of death who is given charge of you shall cause you to die, then to your Lord you shall be brought back.


tafseer:
And could you but see when the guilty shall hang down their heads before their Lord: Our Lord! we have seen and we have heard, therefore send us back, we will do good


tafseer:
And if We had pleased We would certainly have given to every soul its guidance, but the word (which had gone forth) from Me was just: I will certainly fill hell with the jinn and men together.


tafseer:
Only they believe in Our communications who, when they are reminded of them, fall down in prostration and celebrate the praise of their Lord, and they are not proud.


tafseer:
Their sides draw away from (their) beds, they call upon their Lord in fear and in hope, and they spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them.


tafseer:
And most certainly We will make them taste of the nearer chastisement before the greater chastisement that haply they may turn.


tafseer:
And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the communications of his Lord, then he turns away from them? Surely We will give punishment to the guilty.


tafseer:
And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, so be not in doubt concerning the receiving of it, and We made it a guide for the children of Israel.


tafseer:
And We made of them Imams to guide by Our command when they were patient, and they were certain of Our communications.


tafseer:
Surely your Lord will judge between them on the day of resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.


tafseer:
Does it not point out to them the right way, how many of the generations, in whose abodes they go about, did We destroy before them? Most surely there are signs in this


tafseer:
Do they not see that We drive the water to a land having no herbage, then We bring forth thereby seed-produce of which their cattle and they themselves eat


tafseer:
Say: On the day of judgment the faith of those who (now) disbelieve will not profit them, nor will they be respited.


tafseer:
O Prophet! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and do not comply with (the wishes of) the unbelievers and the hypocrites


tafseer:
The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have on themselves, and his wives are (as) their mothers


tafseer:
And when We made a covenant with the prophets and with you, and with Nuh and Ibrahim and Musa and Isa, son of Marium, and We made with them a strong covenant


tafseer:
That He may question the truthful of their truth, and He has prepared for the unbelievers a painful punishment.


tafseer:
O you who believe! call to mind the favor of Allah to you when there came down upon you hosts, so We sent against them a strong wind and hosts, that you saw not, and Allah is Seeing what you do.


tafseer:
When they came upon you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes turned dull, and the hearts rose up to the throats, and you began to think diverse thoughts of Allah.


tafseer:
And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was a disease began to say: Allah and His Messenger did not promise us (victory) but only to deceive.


tafseer:
And when a party of them said: O people of Yasrib! there is no place to stand for you (here), therefore go back


tafseer:
And if an entry were made upon them from the outlying parts of it, then they were asked to wage war, they would certainly have done it, and they would not have stayed in it but a little while.


tafseer:
Say: Flight shall not do you any good if you fly from death or slaughter, and in that case you will not be allowed to enjoy yourselves but a little.


tafseer:
Say: Who is it that can withhold you from Allah if He intends to do you evil, rather He intends to show you mercy? And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any guardian or a helper.


tafseer:
Allah knows indeed those among you who hinder others and those who say to their brethren: Come to us


tafseer:
They think the allies are not gone, and if the allies should come (again) they would fain be in the deserts with the desert Arabs asking for news about you, and if they were among you they would not fight save a little.


tafseer:
Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much.


tafseer:
And when the believers saw the allies, they said: This is what Allah and His Messenger promised us, and Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth


tafseer:
Of the believers are men who are true to the covenant which they made with Allah: so of them is he who accomplished his vow, and of them is he who yet waits, and they have not changed in the least


tafseer:
That Allah may reward the truthful for their truth, and punish the hypocrites if He please or turn to them (mercifully)


tafseer:
And He drove down those of the followers of the Book who backed them from their fortresses and He cast awe into their hearts


tafseer:
And He made you heirs to their land and their dwellings and their property, and (to) a land which you have not yet trodden, and Allah has power over all things.


tafseer:
O Prophet! say to your wives: If you desire this world´s life and its adornment, then come, I will give you a provision and allow you to depart a goodly departing


tafseer:
And if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the latter abode, then surely Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a mighty reward.


tafseer:
O wives of the prophet! whoever of you commits an open indecency, the punishment shall be increased to her doubly


tafseer:
And whoever of you is obedient to Allah and His Messenger and does good, We will give to her her reward doubly, and We have prepared for her an honorable sustenance.


tafseer:
Surely the men who submit and the women who submit, and the believing men and the believing women, and the obeying men and the obeying women, and the truthful men and the truthful women, and the patient men and the patient women and the humble men and the humble women, and the almsgiving men and the almsgiving women, and the fasting men and the fasting women, and the men who guard their private parts and the women who guard, and the men who remember Allah much and the women who remember-- Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a mighty reward.


tafseer:
And it behoves not a believing man and a believing woman that they should have any choice in their matter when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter


tafseer:
And when you said to him to whom Allah had shown favor and to whom you had shown a favor: Keep your wife to yourself and be careful of (your duty to) Allah


tafseer:
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Last of the prophets


tafseer:
He it is Who sends His blessings on you, and (so do) His angels, that He may bring you forth out of utter darkness into the light


tafseer:
Their salutation on the day that they meet Him shall be, Peace, and He has prepared for them an honourable reward.


tafseer:
And be not compliant to the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and leave unregarded their annoying talk, and rely on Allah


tafseer:
O you who believe! when you marry the believing women, then divorce them before you touch them, you have in their case no term which you should reckon


tafseer:
O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you


tafseer:
You may put off whom you please of them, and you may take to you whom you please, and whom you desire of those whom you had separated provisionally


tafseer:
It is not allowed to you to take women afterwards, nor that you should change them for other wives, though their beauty be pleasing to you, except what your right hand possesses and Allah is Watchful over all things.


tafseer:
O you who believe! do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal, not waiting for its cooking being finished-- but when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken the food, then disperse-- not seeking to listen to talk


tafseer:
There is no blame on them in respect of their fathers, nor their brothers, nor their brothers´ sons, nor their sisters´ sons nor their own women, nor of what their right hands possess


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who speak evil things of Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and the here after, and He has prepared for them a chastisement bringing disgrace.


tafseer:
And those who speak evil things of the believing men and the believing women without their having earned (it), they are guilty indeed of a false accusation and a manifest sin.


tafseer:
O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments


tafseer:
If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist, We shall most certainly set you over them, then they shall not be your neighbors in it but for a little while


tafseer:
On the day when their faces shall be turned back into the fire, they shall say: O would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!


tafseer:
And they shall say: O our Lord! surely we obeyed our leaders and our great men, so they led us astray from the path


tafseer:
O you who believe! be not like those who spoke evil things of Musa, but Allah cleared him of what they said, and he was worthy of regard with Allah.


tafseer:
Surely We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to be unfaithful to it and feared from it, and man has turned unfaithful to it


tafseer:
So Allah will chastise the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the polytheistic men and the polytheistic women, and Allah will turn (mercifully) to the believing women, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


tafseer:
(All) praise is due to Allah, Whose is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and to Him is due (all) praise in the hereafter


tafseer:
He knows that which goes down into the earth and that which comes out of it, and that which comes down from the heaven and that which goes up to it


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: The hour shall not come upon us. Say: Yea! by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen, it shall certainly come upon you


tafseer:
And (as for) those who strive hard in opposing Our communications, these it is for whom is a painful chastisement of an evil kind.


tafseer:
And those to whom the knowledge has been given see that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, that is the truth, and it guides into the path of the Mighty, the Praised.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: Shall we point out to you a man who informs you that when you are scattered the utmost scattering you shall then be most surely (raised) in (to) a new creation?


tafseer:
He has forged a lie against Allah or there is madness in him. Nay! those who do not believe in the hereafter are in torment and in great error.


tafseer:
Do they not then consider what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We please We will make them disappear in the land or bring down upon them a portion from the heaven


tafseer:
And certainly We gave to Dawood excellence from Us: O mountains! sing praises with him, and the birds


tafseer:
And (We made) the wind (subservient) to Sulaiman, which made a month´s journey in the morning and a month´s journey in the evening, and We made a fountain of molten copper to flow out for him, and of the jinn there were those who worked before him by the command of his Lord


tafseer:
They made for him what he pleased of fortresses and images, and bowls (large) as watering-troughs and cooking-pots that will not move from their place


tafseer:
But when We decreed death for him, naught showed them his death but a creature of the earth that ate away his staff


tafseer:
But they turned aside, so We sent upon them a torrent of which the rush could not be withstood, and in place of their two gardens We gave to them two gardens yielding bitter fruit and (growing) tamarisk and a few lote-trees.


tafseer:
And We made between them and the towns which We had blessed (other) towns to be easily seen, and We apportioned the journey therein: Travel through them nights and days, secure.


tafseer:
And certainly the Shaitan found true his conjecture concerning them, so they follow him, except a party of the believers.


tafseer:
And he has no authority over them, but that We may distinguish him who believes in the hereafter from him who is in doubt concerning it


tafseer:
And intercession will not avail aught with Him save of him whom He permits. Until when fear shall be removed from their hearts, They shall say: What is it that your Lord said? They shall say: The truth. And He is the Most High, the Great.


tafseer:
Say: Who gives you the sustenance from the heavens and the earth? Say: Allah. And most surely we or you are on a right way or in manifest error


tafseer:
Say: You will not be questioned as to what we are guilty of, nor shall we be questioned as to what you do.


tafseer:
And We have not sent you but to all the men as a bearer of good news and as a warner, but most men do not know.


tafseer:
Say: You have the appointment of a day from which you cannot hold back any while, nor can you bring it on.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: By no means will we believe in this Quran, nor in that which is before it


tafseer:
Those who were proud shall say to those who were deemed weak: Did we turn you away from the guidance after it had come to you? Nay, you (yourselves) were guilty


tafseer:
And those who were deemed weak shall say to those who were proud. Nay, (it was) planning by night and day when you told us to disbelieve in Allah and to set up likes with Him. And they shall conceal regret when they shall see the punishment


tafseer:
And We never sent a warner to a town but those who led lives in ease in it said: We are surely disbelievers in what you are sent with.


tafseer:
Say: Surely my Lord amplifies the means of subsistence for whom He pleases and straitens (for whom He pleases), but most men do not know.


tafseer:
And not your wealth nor your children, are the things which bring you near Us in station, but whoever believes and does good, these it is for whom is a double reward for what they do, and they shall be secure in the highest places.


tafseer:
And (as for) those who strive in opposing Our communications, they shall be caused to be brought to the chastisement.


tafseer:
Say: Surely my Lord amplifies the means of subsistence for whom He pleases of His servants and straitens (them) for whom (He pleases), and whatever thing you spend, He exceeds it in reward, and He is the best of Sustainers.


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


tafseer:
So on that day one of you shall not control profit or harm for another, and We will say to those who were unjust: Taste the chastisement of the fire which you called a lie.


tafseer:
And when Our clear communications are recited to them, they say: This is naught but a man who desires to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped. And they say: This is naught but a lie that is forged. And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it comes to them: This is only clear enchantment.


tafseer:
And those before them rejected (the truth), and these have not yet attained a tenth of what We gave them, but they gave the lie to My messengers, then how was the manifestation of My disapproval?


tafseer:
Say: I exhort you only to one thing, that rise up for Allah´s sake in twos and singly, then ponder: there is no madness in your fellow-citizen


tafseer:
Say: If I err, I err only against my own soul, and if I follow a right direction, it is because of what my Lord reveals to me


tafseer:
And could you see when they shall become terrified, but (then) there shall be no escape and they shall be seized upon from a near place


tafseer:
And they shall say: We believe in it. And how shall the attaining (of faith) be possible to them from a distant place?


tafseer:
And they disbelieved in it before, and they utter conjectures with regard to the unseen from a distant place.


tafseer:
And a barrier shall be placed between them and that which they desire, as was done with the likes of them before: surely they are in a disquieting doubt.


tafseer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the Maker of the angels, messengers flying on wings, two, and three, and four


tafseer:
Whatever Allah grants to men of (His) mercy, there is none to withhold it, and what He withholds there is none to send it forth after that, and He is the Mighty, the Wise


tafseer:
And if they call you a liar, truly messengers before you were called liars, and to Allah are all affairs returned.


tafseer:
O men! surely the promise of Allah is true, therefore let not the life of this world deceive you, and let not the archdeceiver deceive you respecting Allah.


tafseer:
(As for) those who disbelieve, they shall have a severe punishment, and (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have forgiveness and a great reward.


tafseer:
What! is he whose evil deed is made fairseeming to him so much so that he considers it good? Now surely Allah makes err whom He pleases and guides aright whom He pleases, so let not your soul waste away in grief for them


tafseer:
And Allah is He Who sends the winds so they raise a cloud, then We drive it on to a dead country, and therewith We give life to the earth after its death


tafseer:
And the two seas are not alike: the one sweet, that subdues thirst by its excessive sweetness, pleasant to drink


tafseer:
He causes the night to enter in upon the day, and He causes the day to enter in upon the night, and He has made subservient (to you) the sun and the moon


tafseer:
If you call on them they shall not hear your call, and even if they could hear they shall not answer you


tafseer:
O men! you are they who stand in need of Allah, and Allah is He Who is the Self-sufficient, the Praised One.


tafseer:
And a burdened soul cannot bear the burden of another and if one weighed down by burden should cry for (another to carry) its burden, not aught of it shall be carried, even though he be near of kin. You warn only those who fear their Lord in secret and keep up prayer


tafseer:
Neither are the living and the dead alike. Surely Allah makes whom He pleases hear, and you cannot make those hear who are in the graves.


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud, then We bring forth therewith fruits of various colors


tafseer:
Surely they who recite the Book of Allah and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly and openly, hope for a gain which will not perish.


tafseer:
That He may pay them back fully their rewards and give them more out of His grace: surely He is Forgiving, Multiplier of rewards.


tafseer:
And that which We have revealed to you of the Book, that is the truth verifying that which is before it


tafseer:
And they shall cry therein for succour: O our Lord! take us out, we will do good deeds other than those which we used to do. Did We not preserve you alive long enough, so that he who would be mindful in it should mind? And there came to you the warner


tafseer:
Say: Have you considered your associates which you call upon besides Allah? Show me what part of the earth they have created, or have they any share in the heavens


tafseer:
And they swore by Allah with the strongest of their oaths that if there came to them a warner they would be better guided than any of the nations


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the land and seen how was the end of those before them while they were stronger than these in power? And Allah is not such that any thing in the heavens or in the earth should escape Him


tafseer:
And were Allah to punish men for what they earn, He would not leave on the back of it any creature, but He respites them till an appointed term


tafseer:
Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.


tafseer:
And We have made before them a barrier and a barrier behind them, then We have covered them over so that they do not see.


tafseer:
Surely We give life to the dead, and We write down what they have sent before and their footprints, and We have recorded everything in a clear writing.


tafseer:
When We sent to them two, they rejected both of them, then We strengthened (them) with a third, so they said: Surely we are messengers to you.


tafseer:
They said: You are naught but mortals like ourselves, nor has the Beneficent Allah revealed anything


tafseer:
And from the remote part of the city there came a man running, he said: O my people! follow the messengers


tafseer:
And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back


tafseer:
What! shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession, If the Beneficent Allah should desire to afflict me with a harm, shall not avail me aught, nor shall they be able to deliver me?


tafseer:
Do they not consider how many of the generations have We destroyed before them, because they do not turn to them?


tafseer:
And a sign to them is the dead earth: We give life to it and bring forth from it grain SQ they eat of it.


tafseer:
Glory be to Him Who created pairs of all things, of what the earth grows, and of their kind and of what they do not know.


tafseer:
And (as for) the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm branch.


tafseer:
Neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day


tafseer:
And if We please, We can drown them, then there shall be no succorer for them, nor shall they be rescued


tafseer:
And when it is said to them: Guard against what is before you and what is behind you, that mercy may be had on you.


tafseer:
And there comes not to them a communication of the communications of their Lord but they turn aside from it.


tafseer:
And when it is said to them: Spend out of what Allah has given you, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Shall we feed him whom, if Allah please, He could feed? You are in naught but clear error.


tafseer:
They wait not for aught but a single cry which will overtake them while they yet contend with one another.


tafseer:
They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promised and the messengers told the truth.


tafseer:
Did I not charge you, O children of Adam! that you should not serve the Shaitan? Surely he is your open enemy,


tafseer:
On that day We will set a seal upon their mouths, and their hands shall speak to Us, and their feet shall bear witness of what they earned.


tafseer:
And if We please We would certainly put out their eyes, then they would run about groping for the way, but how should they see?


tafseer:
And if We please We would surely transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, nor will they return.


tafseer:
That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers.


tafseer:
Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters?


tafseer:
And We have subjected them to them, so some of them they have to ride upon, and some of them they eat.


tafseer:
And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones when they are rotten?


tafseer:
Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation


tafseer:
Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower.


tafseer:
Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back.


tafseer:
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.


tafseer:
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?


tafseer:
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you


tafseer:
How many did We destroy before them of the generations, then they cried while the time of escaping had passed away.


tafseer:
And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say: This is an enchanter, a liar.


tafseer:
Has the reminder been revealed to him from among us? Nay! they are in doubt as to My reminder. Nay! they have not yet tasted My chastisement!


tafseer:
Or is it that theirs is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend by any


tafseer:
Surely We made the mountains to sing the glory (of Allah) in unison with him at the evening and the sunrise,


tafseer:
And has there come to you the story of the litigants, when they made an entry into the private chamber by ascending over the walls?


tafseer:
Therefore We rectified for him this, and most surely he had a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.


tafseer:
Shall We treat those who believe and do good like the mischief-makers in the earth? Or shall We make those who guard (against evil) like the wicked?


tafseer:
(It is) a Book We have revealed to you abounding in good that they may ponder over its verses, and that those endowed with understanding may be mindful.


tafseer:
And We gave to Dawood Sulaiman, most excellent the servant! Surely he was frequent in returning (to Allah).


tafseer:
Then he said: Surely I preferred the good things to the remembrance of my Lord-- until the sun set and time for Asr prayer was over, (he said):


tafseer:
He said: My Lord! do Thou forgive me and grant me a kingdom which is not fit for (being inherited by) anyone after me


tafseer:
And remember Our servant Ayyub, when he called upon his Lord: The Shaitan has afflicted me with toil and torment.


tafseer:
And We gave him his family and the like of them with them, as a mercy from Us, and as a reminder to those possessed of understanding.


tafseer:
They shall say: Nay! you-- no welcome to you: you did proffer it to us, so evil is the resting-place.


tafseer:
They shall say: Our Lord! whoever prepared it first for us, add Thou to him a double chastisement in the fire.


tafseer:
And they shall say: What is the matter with us that we do not see men whom we used to count among the vicious?


tafseer:
So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down making obeisance to him.


tafseer:
He said: O Iblis! what prevented you that you should do obeisance to him whom I created with My two hands? Are you proud or are you of the exalted ones?


tafseer:
Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, therefore serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience.


tafseer:
Now, surely, sincere obedience is due to Allah (alone) and (as for) those who take guardians besides Him, (saying), We do not serve them save that they may make us nearer to Allah, surely Allah will judge between them in that in which they differ


tafseer:
If Allah desire to take a son to Himself, He will surely choose those He pleases from what He has created. Glory be to Him: He is Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all).


tafseer:
He has created you from a single being, then made its mate of the same (kind), and He has made for you eight of the cattle in pairs. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers-- a creation after a creation-- in triple darkness


tafseer:
What! he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know and those who do not know alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful.


tafseer:
Serve then what you like besides Him. Say: The losers surely are those who shall have lost themselves and their families on the day of resurrection


tafseer:
And (as for) those who keep off from the worship of the idols and turn to Allah, they shall have good news, therefore give good news to My servants,


tafseer:
What! as for him then against whom the sentence of chastisement is due: What! can you save him who is in the fire?


tafseer:
But (as for) those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord, they shall have high places, above them higher places, built (for them), beneath which flow rivers


tafseer:
Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud, then makes it go along in the earth in springs, then brings forth therewith herbage of various colors, then it withers so that you see it becoming yellow, then He makes it a thing crushed and broken into pieces? Most surely there is a reminder in this for the men of understanding.


tafseer:
What! is he whose heart Allah has opened for Islam so that he is in a light from his Lord (like the hard-hearted)? Nay, woe to those whose hearts are hard against the remembrance of Allah


tafseer:
Allah has revealed the best announcement, a book conformable in its various parts, repeating, whereat do shudder the skins of those who fear their Lord, then their skins and their hearts become pliant to the remembrance of Allah


tafseer:
Is he then who has to guard himself with his own person against the evil chastisement on the resurrection day? And it will be said to the unjust: Taste what you earned.


tafseer:
Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore there came to them the chastisement from whence they perceived not.


tafseer:
So Allah made them taste the disgrace in this world´s life, and certainly the punishment of the hereafter is greater


tafseer:
Allah sets forth an example: There is a slave in whom are (several) partners differing with one another, and there is another slave wholly owned by one man. Are the two alike in condition? (All) praise is due to Allah. Nay! most of them do not know.


tafseer:
Who is then more unjust than he who utters a lie against Allah and (he who) gives the lie to the truth when it comes to him


tafseer:
And he who brings the truth and (he who) accepts it as the truth-- these are they that guard (against evil).


tafseer:
So that Allah will do away with the worst of what they did and give them their reward for the best of what they do.


tafseer:
And should you ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth? They would most certainly say: Allah. Say: Have you then considered that what you call upon besides Allah, would they, if Allah desire to afflict me with harm, be the removers of His harm, or (would they), if Allah desire to show me mercy, be the withholders of His mercy? Say: Allah is sufficient for me


tafseer:
Who it is to whom there shall come a punishment which will disgrace him and to whom will be due a lasting punishment.


tafseer:
Or have they taken intercessors besides Allah? Say: what! even though they did not ever have control over anything, nor do they understand.


tafseer:
And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter shrink, and when those besides Him are mentioned, lo! they are joyful.


tafseer:
Say: O Allah! Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! Thou (only) judgest between Thy servants as to that wherein they differ.


tafseer:
And had those who are unjust all that is in the earth and the like of it with it, they would certainly offer it as ransom (to be saved) from the evil of the punishment on the day of resurrection


tafseer:
And the evil (consequences) of what they wrought shall become plain to them, and the very thing they mocked at shall beset them.


tafseer:
Do they not know that Allah makes ample the means of subsistence to whom He pleases, and He straitens


tafseer:
Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah


tafseer:
And return to your Lord time after time and submit to Him before there comes to you the punishment, then you shall not be helped.


tafseer:
And follow the best that has been revealed to you from your Lord before there comes to you the punishment all of a sudden while you do not even perceive


tafseer:
Lest a soul should say: O woe to me! for what I fell short of my duty to Allah, and most surely I was of those who laughed to scorn


tafseer:
Or it should say: Had Allah guided me, I would certainly have been of those who guard (against evil)


tafseer:
Or it should say when it sees the punishment: Were there only a returning for me, I should be of the doers of good.


tafseer:
Aye! My communications came to you, but you rejected them, and you were proud and you were one of the unbelievers.


tafseer:
And certainly, it has been revealed to you and to those before you: Surely if you associate (with Allah), your work would certainly come to naught and you would certainly be of the losers.


tafseer:
And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are in the heavens and all those that are in the earth shall swoon, except such as Allah please


tafseer:
And the earth shall beam with the light of its Lord, and the Book shall be laid down, and the prophets and the witnesses shall be brought up, and judgment shall be given between them with justice, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.


tafseer:
And those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord shall be conveyed to the garden in companies


tafseer:
And they shall say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has made good to us His promise, and He has made us inherit the land


tafseer:
None dispute concerning the communications of Allah but those who disbelieve, therefore let not their going to and fro in the cities deceive you.


tafseer:
The people of Nuh and the parties after them rejected (prophets) before them, and every nation purposed against their messenger to destroy him, and they disputed by means of the falsehood that they might thereby render null the truth, therefore I destroyed them


tafseer:
And thus did the word of your Lord prove true against those who disbelieved that they are the inmates of the fire.


tafseer:
Those who bear the power and those around Him celebrate the praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask protection for those who believe: Our Lord! Thou embracest all things in mercy and knowledge, therefore grant protection to those who turn (to Thee) and follow Thy way, and save them from the punishment of the hell:


tafseer:
Our Lord! and make them enter the gardens of perpetuity which Thou hast promised to them and those who do good of their fathers and their wives and their offspring, surely Thou are the Mighty, the Wise.


tafseer:
And keep them from evil deeds, and whom Thou keepest from evil deeds this day, indeed Thou hast mercy on him, and that is the mighty achievement.


tafseer:
Surely those who disbelieve shall be cried out to: Certainly Allah´s hatred (of you) when you were called upon to the faith and you rejected, is much greater than your hatred of yourselves.


tafseer:
They shall say: Our Lord! twice didst Thou make us subject to death, and twice hast Thou given us life, so we do confess our faults


tafseer:
That is because when Allah alone was called upon, you disbelieved, and when associates were given to Him, you believed


tafseer:
He it is Who shows you His signs and sends down for you sustenance from heaven, and none minds but he who turns (to Him) again and again.


tafseer:
Possessor of the highest rank, Lord of power: He makes the inspiration to light by His command upon whom He pleases of His servants, that he may warn (men) of the day of meeting.


tafseer:
(Of) the day when they shall come forth, nothing concerning them remains hidden to Allah. To whom belongs the kingdom this day? To Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all).


tafseer:
And warn them of the day that draws near, when hearts shall rise up to the throats, grieving inwardly


tafseer:
Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those who were before them? Mightier than these were they in strength-- and in fortifications in the land, but Allah destroyed them for their sins


tafseer:
That was because there came to them their messengers with clear arguments, but they rejected (them), therefore Allah destroyed them


tafseer:
So when he brought to them the truth from Us, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him and keep their women alive


tafseer:
And Musa said: Surely I take refuge with my Lord and-- your Lord from every proud one who does not believe in the day of reckoning.


tafseer:
And a believing man of Firon´s people who hid his faith said: What! will you slay a man because he says: My Lord is Allah, and indeed he has brought to you clear arguments from your Lord? And if he be a liar, on him will be his lie, and if he be truthful, there will befall you some of that which he threatens you (with)


tafseer:
O my people! yours is the kingdom this day, being masters in the land, but who will help us against the punishment of Allah if it come to us? Firon said: I do not show you aught but that which I see (myself), and I do not make you follow any but the right way.


tafseer:
The like of what befell the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood and those after them, and Allah does not desire injustice for (His) servants


tafseer:
And certainly Yusuf came to you before with clear arguments, but you ever remained in doubt as to what he brought


tafseer:
Those who dispute concerning the communications of Allah without any authority that He has given them


tafseer:
The means of access to the heavens, then reach the god of Musa, and I surely think him to be a liar. And thus the evil of his deed was made fairseeming to Firon, and he was turned away from the way


tafseer:
O my people! this life of the world is only a (passing) enjoyment, and surely the hereafter is the abode to settle


tafseer:
Whoever does an evil, he shall not be recompensed (with aught) but the like of it, and whoever does good, whether male or female, and he is a believer, these shall enter the garden, in which they shall be given sustenance without measure.


tafseer:
You call on me that I should disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I call you to the Mighty, the most Forgiving


tafseer:
No doubt that what you call me to has no title to be called to in this world, nor in the hereafter, and that our turning back is to Allah, and that the extravagant are the inmates of the fire


tafseer:
So you shall remember what I say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah, Surely Allah sees the servants.


tafseer:
So Allah protected him from the evil (consequences) of what they planned, and the most evil punishment overtook Firon´s people:


tafseer:
And when they shall contend one with another in the fire, then the weak shall say to those who were proud: Surely we were your followers


tafseer:
Those who were proud shall say: Surely we are all in it: surely Allah has judged between the servants.


tafseer:
And those who are in the fire shall say to the keepers of hell: Call upon your Lord that He may lighten to us one day of the punishment.


tafseer:
They shall say: Did not your messengers come to you with clear arguments? They shall say: Yea. They shall say: Then call. And the call of the unbelievers is only in error.


tafseer:
Most surely We help Our messengers, and those who believe, in this world´s life and on the day when the witnesses shall stand


tafseer:
The day on which their excuse shall not benefit the unjust, and for them is curse and for them is the evil abode.


tafseer:
Surely (as for) those who dispute about the communications of Allah without any authority that has come to them, there is naught in their breasts but (a desire) to become great which they shall never attain to


tafseer:
Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of the men, but most people do not know


tafseer:
Allah is He Who made the earth a resting-place for you and the heaven a canopy, and He formed you, then made goodly your forms, and He provided you with goodly things


tafseer:
Say: I am forbidden to serve those whom you call upon besides Allah when clear arguments have come to me from my Lord, and I am commanded that I should submit to the Lord of the worlds.


tafseer:
He it is Who created you from dust, then from a small lifegerm, then from a clot, then He brings you forth as a child, then that you may attain your maturity, then that you may be old-- and of you there are some who are caused to die before-- and that you may reach an appointed term, and that you may understand.


tafseer:
He it is Who gives life and brings death, so when He decrees an affair, He only says to it: Be, and it is.


tafseer:
Have you not seen those who dispute with respect to the communications of Allah: how are they turned away?


tafseer:
Besides Allah? They shall say: They are gone away from us, nay, we used not to call upon anything before. Thus does Allah confound the unbelievers.


tafseer:
So be patient, surely the promise of Allah is true. So should We make you see part of what We threaten them with, or should We cause you to die, to Us shall they be returned.


tafseer:
And certainly We sent messengers before you: there are some of them that We have mentioned to you and there are others whom We have not mentioned to you, and it was not meet for a messenger that he should bring a sign except with Allah´s permission, but when the command of Allah came, judgment was given with truth, and those who treated (it) as a lie were lost.


tafseer:
Allah is He Who made the cattle for you that you may ride on some of them, and some of them you eat.


tafseer:
And there are advantages for you in them, and that you may attain thereon a want which is in your breasts, and upon them and upon the ships you are borne.


tafseer:
Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them? They were more (in numbers) than these and greater in strength and in fortifications in the land, but what they earned did not avail them.


tafseer:
Then when their messengers came to them with clear arguments, they exulted in what they had with them of knowledge, and there beset them that which they used to mock.


tafseer:
But when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believe in Allah alone and we deny what we used to associate with Him.


tafseer:
And they say: Our hearts are under coverings from that to which you call us, and there is a heaviness in our ears, and a veil hangs between us and you, so work, we too are working.


tafseer:
Say: What! do you indeed disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two periods, and do you set up equals with Him? That is the Lord of the Worlds.


tafseer:
And He made in it mountains above its surface, and He blessed therein and made therein its foods, in four periods: alike for the seekers.


tafseer:
Then He directed Himself to the heaven and it is a vapor, so He said to it and to the earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly.


tafseer:
When their messengers came to them from before them and from behind them, saying, Serve nothing but Allah, they said: If our Lord had pleased He would certainly have sent down angels, so we are surely unbelievers in that with which you are sent.


tafseer:
Then as to Ad, they were unjustly proud in the land, and they said: Who is mightier in strength than we? Did they not see that Allah Who created them was mightier than they in strength, and they denied Our communications?


tafseer:
So We sent on them a furious wind in unlucky days, that We may make them taste the chastisement of abasement in this world´s life


tafseer:
And as to Samood, We showed them the right way, but they chose error above guidance, so there overtook them the scourge of an abasing chastisement for what they earned.


tafseer:
And on the day that the enemies of Allah shall be brought together to the fire, then they shall be formed into groups.


tafseer:
Until when they come to it, their ears and their eyes and their skins shall bear witness against them as to what they did.


tafseer:
And they shall say to their skins: Why have you borne witness against us? They shall say: Allah Who makes everything speak has made us speak, and He created you at first, and to Him you shall be brought back.


tafseer:
And you did not veil yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should bear witness against you, but you thought that Allah did not know most of what you did.


tafseer:
And that was your (evil) thought which you entertained about your Lord that has tumbled you down into perdition, so are you become of the lost ones.


tafseer:
Then if they will endure, still the fire is their abode, and if they ask for goodwill, then are they not of those who shall be granted goodwill.


tafseer:
And We have appointed for them comrades so they have made fair-seeming to them what is before them and what is behind them, and the word proved true against them-- among the nations of the jinn and the men that have passed away before them-- that they shall surely be losers.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve say: Do not listen to this Quran and make noise therein, perhaps you may overcome.


tafseer:
Therefore We will most certainly make those who disbelieve taste a severe punishment, and We will most certainly reward them for the evil deeds they used to do.


tafseer:
And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! show us those who led us astray from among the jinn and the men that we may trample them under our feet so that they may be of the lowest.


tafseer:
(As for) those who say: Our Lord is Allah, then continue in the right way, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not, nor be grieved, and receive good news of the garden which you were promised.


tafseer:
We are your guardians in this world´s life and in the hereafter, and you shall have therein what your souls desire and you shall have therein what you ask for:


tafseer:
And who speaks better than he who calls to Allah while he himself does good, and says: I am surely of those who submit?


tafseer:
And not alike are the good and the evil. Repel (evil) with what is best, when lo! he between whom and you was enmity would be as if he were a warm friend.


tafseer:
And none are made to receive it but those who are patient, and none are made to receive it but those who have a mighty good fortune.


tafseer:
But if they are proud, yet those with your Lord glorify Him during the night and the day, and they are not tired.


tafseer:
And among His signs is this, that you see the earth still, but when We send down on it the water, it stirs and swells: most surely He Who gives it life is the Giver of life to the dead


tafseer:
Surely they who deviate from the right way concerning Our communications are not hidden from Us. What! is he then who is cast into the fire better, or he who comes safe on the day of resurrection? Do what you like, surely He sees what you do.


tafseer:
Surely those who disbelieve in the reminder when it comes to them, and most surely it is a Mighty Book:


tafseer:
And if We had made it a Quran in a foreign tongue, they would certainly have said: Why have not its communications been made clear? What! a foreign (tongue) and an Arabian! Say: It is to those who believe a guidance and a healing


tafseer:
And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, but it has been differed about, and had not a word already gone forth from your Lord, judgment would certainly have been given between them


tafseer:
To Him is referred the knowledge of the hour, and there come not forth any of the fruits from their coverings, nor does a female bear, nor does she give birth, but with His knowledge


tafseer:
And away from them shall go what they called upon before, and they shall know for certain that there is no escape for them.


tafseer:
And if We make him taste mercy from Us after distress that has touched him, he would most certainly say: This is of me, and I do not think the hour will come to pass, and if I am sent back to my Lord, I shall have with Him sure good


tafseer:
We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?


tafseer:
The heavens may almost rend asunder from above them and the angels sing the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth


tafseer:
And (as for) those who take guardians besides Him, Allah watches over them, and you have not charge over them.


tafseer:
And thus have We revealed to you an Arabic Quran, that you may warn the mother city and those around it, and that you may give warning of the day of gathering together wherein is no doubt


tafseer:
And if Allah had pleased He would surely have made them a single community, but He makes whom He pleases enter into His mercy, and the unjust it is that shall have no guardian or helper.


tafseer:
Or have they taken guardians besides Him? But Allah is the Guardian, and He gives life to the dead, and He has power over all things.


tafseer:
He has made plain to you of the religion what He enjoined upon Nuh and that which We have revealed to you and that which We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa that keep to obedience and be not divided therein


tafseer:
To this then go on inviting, and go on steadfastly on the right way as you are commanded, and do not follow their low desires, and say: I believe in what Allah has revealed of the Book, and I am commanded to do justice between you: Allah is our Lord and your Lord


tafseer:
And (as for) those who dispute about Allah after that obedience has been rendered to Him, their plea is null with their Lord, and upon them is wrath, and for them is severe punishment.


tafseer:
Allah it is Who revealed the Book with truth, and the balance, and what shall make you know that haply the hour be nigh?


tafseer:
Those who do not believe in it would hasten it on, and those who believe are in fear from it, and they know that it is the truth. Now most surely those who dispute obstinately concerning the hour are in a great error.


tafseer:
Or have they associates who have prescribed for them any religion that Allah does not sanction? And were it not for the word of judgment, decision would have certainly been given between them


tafseer:
That is of which Allah gives the good news to His servants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives


tafseer:
And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons the evil deeds and He knows what you do


tafseer:
And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and what He has spread forth in both of them of living beings


tafseer:
And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of what your hands have wrought, and (yet) He pardons most (of your faults).


tafseer:
So whatever thing you are given, that is only a provision of this world´s life, and what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who believe and rely on their Lord.


tafseer:
And those who respond to their Lord and keep up prayer, and their rule is to take counsel among themselves, and who spend out of what We have given them.


tafseer:
And the recompense of evil is punishment like it, but whoever forgives and amends, he shall have his reward from Allah


tafseer:
And whoever defends himself after his being oppressed, these it is against whom there is no way (to blame).


tafseer:
And you shall see them brought before it humbling themselves because of the abasements, looking with a faint glance. And those who believe shall say: Surely the losers are they who have lost themselves and their followers on the resurrection day. Now surely the iniquitous shall remain in lasting chastisement.


tafseer:
