7. And (they) ask, “ What happened to this messenger? He eats food and walks in the streets of the market. Should not there be an angel sent along with him and he be not a warner (together) with him?”

8. And also the unjust ask.” Or, should he not be given a treasure?. Or should he not have a garden from which he eats ? And you follow only the man who was charmed.”

9. (O Muhammad), how they give examples about you. They have gone astray. They cannot get the (right) way.

10. He is Blessed. If He wants He will make gardens for you which are better than this. Beneath them rivers flow. He will make palaces for you.

17. And on the Day ¹, He gathers them and those they have worshiped besides Allah. He will ask, “ Were you (the people) who misled my servants, or they themselves went astray?”

18. They will say, “ you are Pure ¹⁰ (from all  weaknesses). It does not become us to make close friends except You. You gave them and their fore-fathers facilities. They forgot to remember (You). They have become a people who will be ruined.”

19. They considered what you say a lie. It is not possible for you either to prevent or help. We will make the unjust, taste a great suffering.

20. And ( O Muhammad ) We did not send before you messengers, except that they ate food and walked on the streets of the market. We made some of you a test⁴⁸⁴ for some others, in order to (test) – whether you still follow patience. Your God is ever Seeing.

            Part 19

21. And those who do not believe Our meeting say, “ Should not the angels be sent down to us? Or, should we not see our God face to face? They take pride in themselves. They have transgressed to a great extent. ²¹

22. The day ¹⁵³ in which they see the angels, there will not be any good news for the criminals. They will say, “ (All the opportunities) are completely blocked.”

23. And We will observe the deeds they have done and make them scattered-dust.

24. On that day, the people of paradise will be in the beautiful homes and better resting places.

25. And (that) is a Day ,¹ when the heavens⁵⁰⁷ will be split and the angels will be sent down assuredly.

26. On that Day ¹, the true rule belongs to the most Beneficent. That will be a difficult day for the disbelievers ( of Him )

27. And on that Day,  ¹  the unjust bites his  hands (become sad) and will say, “ I should have made a contact with this messenger.              ‘

30. And the messenger will say , “ My God , Indeed, my people have made this Quran a neglected one”.

41. And when they see you, they consider you with mockery, asking, “ Has Allah sent only him as a messenger?”

42. (They say), “ If we had not been steadfast  in our gods, he would have turned us from them. They will know, who is the misguided, when they see the suffering.

43. Did you see the one who imagined his desire as God? Will you be his guardian?

44. Do you think that the majority of them hear or understand? They are nothing but like cattle. No, they are ( more than ) misguided.

45. Do you not know how your God extends the shadow? If He had wanted then, He would have made it stationary. We made the sun as a proof.

46. And it is He who sends the wind in order to convey good news before His mercy. We sent down pure water from the heaven.

56. And ( O Muhammad ), We have sent you only as an informer of good news and a warner.

59. It is only He who created the heavens,⁵⁰⁷ the earth and what ever is beween them in six days.¹⁷⁹  Then, He sat⁵¹¹ on the Arsh. Ask the knowledgeable about the most Beneficent.

60. And when it is said to them, “ Do sajda to the most Beneficent” , they ask, “ what is that the most Beneficent? Should we do sajda to whom you order?” It has only increased hatred for them.

6. And those who level accusations against their wives, when there were no witnesses except them, will (promise) and give witness on Allah four times.⁴⁵⁴

7. And they should say for the fifth time, “If I am a liar then Allah’s curse may fall on me”.⁴⁵⁴

8. That woman giving witness, “Indeed he is the liar”, (by making a promise) on Allah four times will save her from punishment.⁴⁵⁴

9. And (she will say) for the fifth time, “If he is truthful then Allah’s curse be on me”.⁴⁵⁴

10. And (destruction would have occurred to you) if you were without Allah’s favor and love, if Allah had not been accepting forgiveness and without wisdom.

11. Indeed, those who slandered were only a group among you. Do not think it to be a harm. Rather, it is good for you. For each one of them, there is sin he has committed. Among them for the one, who has taken a leading part in this matter, there remains a severe punishment.

12. Should they not have thought only good between them when they heard this? Should they not have said, “This is a clear falsehood?”

13. Should they not have brought four witnesses¹¹² to it? If they do not bring the witnesses then, they are the liars with God.

14. And had it not been for Allah love and favor in this world and in the Hereafter upon you, for what you have engaged in, a severe suffering would have occurred to you.

15. Remember, that you (even) spread that with your tongues. You said with your mouth that about which you have no knowledge. You thought that to be insignificant. While with Allah that is terrible.

16. And should you not have said, when you heard this, “It does not become us to talk about this. (Oh God), You are pure (free from all weaknesses). This is a terrible slander.”

17. Allah warn you not to do ever again like this, if you have believed.

18. And Allah explains the versus to you. Allah is Knowing and Wise.

19. Indeed, for those who desire the shameful acts should spread among the believers, there is painful suffering for them in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah only knows. You will not know.

20. And had it not been for Allah’s favor and love upon you and if Allah had not been Kind and Merciful (then destruction would have been caused to you).

21. Oh believers, do not follow the footsteps of Shaitan. Who ever follows the footsteps of Shaitan (he will go astray). Indeed, he tempts the shameful and wrong (doers). If it is not for the favor and the love of Allah upon you. He would never have purified any one of you. Yet, Allah purifies who ever He wants. Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

22. And let not those who have wealth and prosperity swear, “We will not help the relatives, the poor and those who did Hijra⁴⁶⁰ in the way of Allah.” Let them forgive and ignore. Would you not want, “Allah should forgive you?” Allah is Forgiving and the most Merciful.

23. Indeed, those who have slandered the believing, innocent and chaste women were cursed in this world and in the Hereafter. There is severe suffering for them.

24. Their tongues,⁵¹⁰ hand and legs will give witness against them about what they have done.

25. On that day, Allah will give their true reward for them. They will know that Allah is truthful and Clarifier.

26. 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. They (good) are free from what they (hypocrites) say. There is forgiveness and grand feast for them.

27. O believers, do not enter into the houses of others except your houses, without getting their permission, without saying ‘salam’ to the residents of the house. This is best for you. You will get stabilized with this.

28. And if you do not see anybody there, you do not enter there, till you are given permission. If it is said to you to go back, then return. This is only nobler for you. Allah is Knowing of what you do.

29. If your are thing is in the house which is not occupied by anyone then, there is no sin on you in entering. Allah Knows what you reveal and hide.

30. (O Muhammad) tell the believing men to lower their gazes and guard their modesty. This is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is aware of what they do.

31. And tell the believing women to lower their gazes and guard their chastity. Let them not reveal in their adornment⁴⁵⁸ except that which is apparent. Let them cover their chests with their head-covers⁴⁷². Let them not reveal their adornments to others except their husbands, their fathers, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their sisters, women, the slaves owned by them¹⁰⁷, among the men, the male servants without physical desire (due to extreme old age), children who are not aware of the private parts of the women. Let them not walk stamping their feet in order that the adornment hidden by them should be revealed. O believers, all of you turn towards Allah. So that you will succeed.³⁰⁰

32. Arrange marriage for those who have no life-partners among you, your male slaves and female slaves who are good⁴³⁵. If they are poor then Allah will make them self sufficient with his bounty. Allah is Generous and Knowing.

33. Let those who have no means to marry, safe guard their chastity⁴³⁵, until Allah makes them self sufficient by his bounty. Those among your slaves, who ask for a deed of freedom in writing, then you give them in writing, the deed of freedom if you know the goodness in them³⁰¹. You give them from the wealth which Allah has given you. Do not compel in prostitution your women (slaves) who desire chastity in order to get the material gains of the world. Who ever compels, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and the most Merciful to the compelled women.

34. And We have revealed to you clear verses to those who fear (Us) and cited examples of those who went before you.

35. Allah is the Light of the heavens⁵⁰⁷ and the earth. The example of His Light is a niche. There is a lamp in it. That lamp is inside a glass. That glass is like a shining star. That is lit from (the oil of) the blessed Zaitun (Olive) tree. It belongs neither to East nor to the West. Its oils also glows even though the fire does not touch it. Thus, it is light upon light. Allah shows the way towards His Light to whom He wants. Allah presents these examples for the people. Allah is knowing of everything.

36. 37. Allah has permitted to raise the houses (of God) and to remember His name. A few men praise Him there in the morning and in the evening. Neither commerce nor trade will distract them from Allah’s remembrance, from establishing prayer and giving Zakat. They fear²⁶ the Day¹ in which the sights and minds will be disturbed.

38. Allah will reward for the good deeds they have done; He will increase His bounty for them. He will give unlimitedly whom whoever He wants.

39. The deeds of the disbelievers (of only one God) are like a mirage (illusion) in a desert. The man who has become thirsty will think it as water. Finally, when he comes there he will not see anything. There, he will see only Allah. Then He (Allah) will correct his account. Allah enquires speedily.

40. Otherwise like many darkness in the deep sea. A wave covers it. Above that wave there is another wave. Above it there is cloud. One above the other there are many darkness⁴²⁹. When he brings out his hand he cannot even see that³⁰³. There is no light to the one whom Allah has not given light.

41. Are you not aware, whatever in the heavens⁵⁰⁷ and on the earth and the birds in flight (in line) pray to Allah?²⁶⁰ Each of them is aware of its worship and prayer. Allah is Knowing of what they do.

42. And the rule of heavens⁵⁰⁷ and the earth belongs only to Allah. The return is only to Allah.

43. Are you not aware that Allah gathers the clouds and brings them together and then makes them into layers?

44. You see rain emerges from the middle. He sends down hail from the heaven and the snow mountains⁴¹⁹. He makes (them) receive it to whom He wants. He turns it away from whom He wants. Its lightning tries to pluck the eye-sight.

45. Allah created every living thing with water. Among them there are (creatures) that move on bellies. There are also those which walk on four legs. Allah creates whatever He wants. Indeed Allah has power over all things.

46. We have revealed in clear verses. Allah sends whoever He wants in the right way.

47. They say, “ We believe in Allah and His messenger and obeyed”. Then , a group among them turn away after this. They are not believers.

48. And a group of among them turn away when they were called towards Allah and His messenger, for giving judgment between them.

49. If the truth is in favour of them then they come obeying.

50. Is there a disease in their minds? Or do they suspect? or , do they fear that Allah and His messenger , will cause injustice?. No , they are unjust.

51. When they are called towards Allah and His messenger , for giving judgment between them, the utterance of those who have believed will be , “ we heard and obeyed”. They are the successful.

52. The successful are those who obey Allah and his messenger and fear Allah.

53. And (O Muhammad) , if you order them, they make a firm promise on Allah that they will depart (for the war). And say, “ do not make promise. Obeying in a proper way (is necessary) . indeed Allah is Knowing what you do”.

54. And say, “ Obey Allah and this messenger”. If they turn away that which is assigned on him (Muhammad) will belong to him. That which is assigned on you will belong to you. If you obey him you will get the right way. There is no other (duty) on the messenger except to inform clearly⁸¹.

55. Allah has promised to those who have believed and did good deeds that He will give power on the earth as He had given power to those who went before , that He will confirm them in the religion which has been approved. And He will cause fearlessness after their fear. They will worship only Me. After this, those who disbelieve (in only one God) are the wrong doers.

56. And establish prayer. Give Zakat. Obey this messenger. You will be given mercy due to this.

57. You do not think that disbelievers (of only God) will win on the earth. Their refuge is Hell. That is the worst resting place.

58. O Believers , let your slaves, those among you who have attained maturity ask you permission (to enter the house) on three occasions; before Fajr prayer, at noon when you have removed your cloth and after Isha prayer. These three are your occasions of privacy. On other times there is no blame either on you or on them. They used to move around you. Each go around meeting each other. Thus , Allah explains the verses. Allah is Knowing and Wise.

59. And if the children among you attain maturity ,they should ask for permission as those before them (elder by age) ask for permission. Thus, Allah explains his verses to you. Allah is Knowing and Wise.

60. And if the old women who do not think about marriage, without adorning , remove their outer garments, there is no sin. It is better for them to be modest. Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

61. It is not wrong for you to eat , in your houses, in your fathers’ houses, in your mothers’ houses, in your brothers’ houses, in your sisters’ houses, in your fathers’ brothers’ houses, in fathers’ sisters’ houses, in mothers’ brothers’ houses, in your mothers’ sisters’ houses, or there whose keys are in your possession, or in (the house of) your friend , it is not wrong for the sick. It is not wrong for the physically handicapped. It is not wrong for the blind. It is not wrong for you to eat either together or alone. When you enter the houses, as a blessed pure gift from Allah, say ‘Salam’ upon yourself. Thus, Allah explains the verses to you so that you will understand³⁷⁶.

62. The believers are those who believe in Allah and His messenger. When they are with him (Muhammad), they will not go (out) for a common cause, without getting his permission. Indeed, among those who ask for your permission only believe in Allah and His messenger. You give permission to whom you want, when the ask for permission in their matter. You ask forgiveness for them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and the Merciful.

63. Do not address your messenger, as you address each other among you. Allah knows those who hide and slip away among you. Let those who deny his order, fear the occurrence of trouble for them and the occurrence of painful suffering.

64. Remember, indeed, whatever is in the heaven⁵⁰⁷ and on the earth belongs to Him. He Knows that in which you remain. He will inform them of what they did on the Day¹, they will be taken to Him. Allah is Knowing of every thing.

Chapter 22

Al- haj (The fifth duty of Islam)

Total verses: 78

This chapter is named ‘ Al Haj’ because verses 27 – 37 of this chapter mention about Haj, its rules and regulations.

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful.

1. O People , fear you God. Indeed, the shock of that Day1 , is a severe matter.

2. On the Day¹ , you see that every wet-nurse ( Who feeds the milk) will forget the nourishing. Every pregnant woman will deliver that she carried in her womb. You will see the people intoxicated. They are not intoxicated. Rather, Allah’s punishment is sever.

3. There are among people who argue without knowledge in Allah’s matter, follow every shaitan who leads you astray.

4. It has been written about him, “He will lead astray the one who made him the guardian. He will show the way to suffering of hell”.

5. (We explain to you), if you have doubt about your being raised alive. We created you from clay³⁶⁸, then from the sperm , then from (clinging clot) conceived egg³⁶⁵, then from the lump of flesh formed and unformed. We stabilized them in the wombs, what we want, for a fixed period. Then, deliver you as a child. Then you reach your maturity. Among you , there are people, who are led towards the age of senility in order that you should not know, what you have not known already. You see the earth barren. When We sent down water on it , it grows fertile and make every beautiful variety, sprout.

6. The reason for this is ‘Allah is truthful’, ‘He will raise the dead alive’ and ‘He has power over all things’.

7. And that time¹ is about to happen. There is no doubt in it. Allah will raise those who are in the graves, alive.

8. And there is one among the people who argues in the matter of Allah without knowledge, the right way and the enlightening Book.

9. He turns his face in order to mislead you from the way of Allah. He has humiliation in this world. We will make him taste the suffering of the burning fire, on the Day of Khiyamah¹.

10. This state is because of your deeds. (We will say that) Allah is not unjust on his servant.

11. And among the people there is also one who worships Allah remaining on the edge. He is satisfied with it. If good happens, when he is tested,⁴⁸⁴ he becomes upset. He has incurred loss in this world and the hereafter. This is only the clear loss.

12. He prays to that which does not do either any harm or benefit except Allah. This is the deep(far reaching) wrong.

13. He calls him, whose bad(loss) is nearer than the good. He is a bad friend. He is a bad guardian.

14. Indeed, Allah makes those who believe and do good deeds, enter into gardens of paradise. Beneath them rivers flow. Allah does what He wants.

15. Let the one who thinks, “Allah will not help him(O Mohammad) in this world and in the hereafter”, extend a rope towards heaven⁵⁰⁷ then cut(the help done to him by God). Can this effort remove his bitterness? Let him see.

16. And thus, We revealed it as clear verses. Allah shows the right way to whom He wants.

17. Indeed, Allah will deliver the judgment on the Day of khiyamah¹, among the believers, Jews, Sabieens⁴⁴³, Christians, Worshippers of Fire and those associate others(to Allah). Indeed, Allah is witness over everything.

18. Do you not know, “Those who are in the heavens,⁵⁰⁷ on the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, living things and most of the people also obey Allah.” The suffering has been confirmed on many others. There is no one to cause honor to whom Allah has caused humiliation. Indeed, Allah does what He wants.³⁹⁶

19. Here are the two disputants(petitioners) who have been arguing about their God. For the disbelievers garments of fire have been prepared. Boiling hot water will be poured on their heads. 

20. With that, whatever in their stomach and the skins will be melted.

21. And for them there are big iron hammers.

22. Whenever with grief they want to get out of it they will be pushed into it again.(It will be said) taste the burning(fire) suffering.

23. Indeed, Allah will make those who believe and do good deeds enter into gardens of paradise. Beneath them rivers flow. They will be decorated with golden bracelets and pearls. Their garments there, will be in silk.

24. And they were guided towards pure belief. They were guided to the way of praiseworthy(God).

25. Indeed, We will make those who have disbelieved and those who prevented from the way of Allah and from ‘Masjid-ul-Haram’ and those who want to do crime through injustice, taste the painful suffering. We made ‘Masjid-ul-Haram’ common to those who live(near) it and who live far(away)²⁹⁰.

26. And remind that We fix the place of that House to Ibrahim by saying, “Do not associate anything to Me. Purify My House for those who do ‘Tawaf’, for those who stand in worship and to those who do ‘Ruku and Sajda’. ”

27. (We said), “ And inform the people about the Haj. They will come to you on foot and(riding) on every lean camel. They will bring them together from every far-away place.”

28. They will(come) to get their benefits, to mention the name of Allah⁵¹³ on fix days for He has given them docile cattle. You also eat that. You give to miserable and poor.

29. Then, let them remove their dirt. Let them fulfill their vows. Let them do ‘Tawaf of that old House’³³

30. This is (Allah’s order ). It is better with God for the one who honours whatever Allah made holy. All the cattle are permitted for you except that which are mentioned to you.

31. You sacrifice to Allah and do not be disbelievers. The one who disbelieves will be like the one who fell from the heaven⁵⁰⁷ and was carried⁴¹⁶ by the birds, or the one whom the wind had carried and thrown him into a faraway place.

32. This is (Allah’s order). Who ever honours Allah’s signs that is the revealation of Allah’s fear in the minds.

33. You have benefits from them (Cattle) for a fixed period383. Then their place of destination is in the old House³³.

34. And we have made the method of worship for every generation, in order to remember the name of Allah, for having given them the docile animals. Your God is only one God. You obey only Him. Give good news to those who have obeyd.

35. Their minds will shiver (in fear) if it is mentioned about Allah. They will bear with that which has happened to them. They will establish prayer. They will spend in(good deeds) from that which is given to them.

36. And We have made the (sacrificial) camels one of the(religious) signs of Allah for you. There is benefit for you in it. You mention the name of Allah on it, while it is(slaughtered) in the standing position. When it has fallen on its side you eat it. Give the beggar as well as the one who do beg, to eat. Thus, He made that to benefit you in order that you will be grateful.

37. Neither their flesh nor their blood reaches Allah. Instead, only your piety will reach Him.²⁹² Thus, He made that to benefit you in order that you will pride Him, for Allah showed you the right way. Give good news to those who do good.

38. Indeed, Allah prevents(betrayal) from the believer. Allah will not like the betrayers and the ungrateful.

39. They are given permission(to fight against) because, “Injustice has been caused on whom war was fought”. Indeed Allah has power to help him.⁵³

40. They have evicted from their houses, unjustly, because they said, “our God is only Allah. Among the people if Allah had not prevented one with the other, then monasteries, churches, places of worship and the Masjids, where Allah name is remembered more, would have been destroyed⁴³³. Allah helps those who help Him. Allah is strong and almighty.”

41. They establish their prayer if they are given an opportunity on the earth. Also give their zakat. Also enjoin zakat. Enjoying good. Prevent bad. The end of the matters belongs only to Allah(is in the hands of Allah)

42. 43.44. And(O Mohammad) if they consider you a liar, even before them the generation of Nuh, the generation Aad and Tamud, the generation of Ibrahim, the generation of Lut and the people of Madyan have also considered (there messengers) liars. Musa was also considered a liar. So , I gave those who denied(Me) time. Then, I seize them. How was My punishment?²⁶

45. And We have destroyed ever so many places and they have been causing injustice. They have fallen along with their roofs(in ruins), abandoned wells and ruined castles.

46. Have they not travelled on the earth? (If they have done it then)they would have had understanding minds and hearing ears. Eyes are not become blind but indeed the thinking of the minds has become blind.

47. And (O Mohammad) they seek the suffering in haste from you. Allah will never break his promise. Indeed, a day with your God is equivalent, in your calculation of years, to thousand years.²⁹³

48. And I gave time to ever so many places, when they have been unjust. Then I punished them.(Their) return is only to Me.

49. (O Mohammad) say,“O People, I am a clear warner.¹⁸⁷”

50. And for those who believe and do good deeds there is forgiveness and grand food(feast).

51. Those are the people of hell who tried to win over Our verses.

52. 53. And (O Mohammed) which ever messenger or prophet, which We have sent before, when he recites, shaitan has not remained without putting confusion in their recitation.²⁹⁴ For those who have disease in their mind and for the harsh minded Allah changes, whatever the shaitan has put, as a test. He confirms His verses. Allah is Knowing and Wise. And indeed the unjust are in deep disunity.²⁶

54. And (O Mohammad)thus, (it is done by Him)because those who have been given knowledge should know that it has come from their God and believe and that their minds should obey them. Allah shows the right way to the believers.

55. Those who disbelieve will be ever in doubt, unless the time1 comes to them suddenly or the suffering of the Unhelpful Day¹ comes to them.

56. On this , the rule belongs only to Allah. He will give the judgment between. Those who believe and do good deeds will be in the permanent gardens of the paradise.

57. For those who denied (Us) and considered Our verses lies, there is humiliating suffering.

58. And Allah gives good food for those who did ‘hijrah’ ⁴⁶⁰in the way of Allah and were killed or died after. And indeed, Allah is the best in giving food.⁴⁶³

59. He will make them enter into the entrance of which they are satisfied. And indeed, Allah is Knowing and Forbearing.

60. This is (Allah’s) order. Whoever harms those ( who have harmed them) as he is harmed and for that (act) , if again injustice is caused to him (then) , Allah will help him. Indeed , Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving

61. Allah makes the night enter into the day. He makes the day enter into the night. The reason is that Allah is Hearing and Seeing.

62. Only Allah is truthful. Those they pray besides him are liars. Allah is the most High and the most Great.

63. Are you not aware Allah sends down water from the heaven⁵⁰⁷ and ( because of that) the earth becomes fertile ? . Allah is indeed , Keen and Acquainted.

64. Whatever is in the heavens⁵⁰⁷ on the earth belongs only to Him. Allah is praiseworthy and free of Need.⁴⁸⁵

65. ( O Muhammad) , are you not aware Allah has made useful for you that which is on the earth and the ship that moves on the sea, with His order ? . He has prevented the heaven⁵⁰⁷ from falling on the earth, unless He orders. Indeed, Allah is the most Kind to people and the most Merciful.

66. And only He gave you life. Then, He will make you die. Then ,He will raise you alive. Indeed, man is ungrateful.

67. ( O Muhammad) , We have made for every generation a method of prayer. They follow it. Let them not argue with you in this matter. You call (them) towards your God. Indeed , you are in the right way.

68. And if they argue with you (O Muhammad) say, “ Allah Knows well whatever you do”.

69. Allah will give the judgment on the Day¹ of Qiyamah , about which you disputed.

70. Are you not aware ( O Muhammad) that Allah knows whatever is in the heaven⁵⁰⁷ and on the earth ? . It is in the Register¹⁵⁷. Indeed, it is easy for Allah.

71. And besides Allah , they worship that about which He has not revealed any sign and that about which they do not have knowledge. There is no helper for those who have caused injustice.

72. And you see hatred in the faces of those who disbelieve (Us) when Our clear verses are recited to them. They will try to attack those who recite Our verses. ( O Muhammad) ask , “ should I tell you something worse than this ?” That is hell. Allah has promised only that to the disbelievers. That is the worst among the places of destination.

73. O people, an example is presented to you. You hear carefully. Those whom you call besides Allah, could never create a fly even if all of them join together. They could not get it back from the fly if the fly snatches from them anything. The seeker and the sought are weak.

74. They have not honoured Allah the extent to which He should have been honourned. Indeed, Allah is Strong and Mighty.

75. Allah selects messengers from the angels and the human beings¹⁶¹. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.

76. He knows whatever is before and behind them. Matters will be taken only to Allah.

77. O believers, do Ruquh ,do sajda, worship your God and do good. You will get success.

78. And you do ‘Jihad’ for Allah, the way the ‘Jihad’ should be done. He has selected you inorder that this messenger (Muhammad) should act as a communicator to you and you should be communicators to the rest of the people. He has not caused you any difficulty in the religion which is the religion of your ‘father Ibrahim’. He only has named you ‘Muslims’ before this and in this²⁹⁵ . So establish prayer. Give Zakath. Hold Allah firmly. Only He is your Protector. He is the best Protector and the best Helper.

84. He said , “ They come here behind me , my God. I came in haste to you in order to please you.

85. (God) said , “ indeed , We tested⁴⁸⁴ your people after you departed. ‘Samiri’ has led them astray.”

95. ( Musa) asked , “ O Samiri , what is your matter ?”

96. ( He) said, “ I saw what they did not see. I took a handful from (under) feet of this messenger. I threw it. Thus , my mind charmed me¹⁹”.

97. ( Musa) said, “ You get out. And indeed, ever you will say in ( the state of ) your life , ‘ do not touch me’. You have also a fixed time which can not be changed. See your god that you worshipped. We will burn it in the fire and scatter in the sea¹⁹.”

105. And they ask you ( O Muhammad) , about the mountains. Say , “ My God will blast them into particles of dust.”

106. And then, He will make it an open waste land.

107. You will not see any ups and downs ( elevation or depression).

108. On that Day¹ , they will follow the ‘caller’ without any denial. All the sounds will become subdued before the most Beneficent. You will not hear any other (sound) except the sound of the feet.

109. On that Day¹ , no one’s intercession will be useful¹⁷except the one whom the most Beneficent has permitted and accepted his word.

110. He knows what is before them and behind them. They will not know Him completely.

111. And faces will be bowed downward before the Ever-living. The one who carried the injustice has incurred the loss.

112. A person who does good deeds, while he is a believer will not fear that he will be caused injustice or given less.

113. And thus , We sent down the Quran in Arabic⁴⁸⁹ language ²²⁷ , in order that they will fear (God) or to teach them a lesson, we have warned clearly in it.

114. Allah , the true King, is exalted. Do not be in haste in matter of Quran¹⁵²&³¹² before His revelation is completed to you. Say , “ My God , increase knowledge to me⁴⁴⁷”.

118. Indeed, you will not be here with hunger. Will not become naked.

119. ( We said) , “ And indeed, you will not be here with thirst. Sun ( its rays ) will not fall on you”.

120. Shaitan induced bad thoughts in him. ( He) said , “ O Adam, shall I inform you about the tree (which will give you) a permanent (life) and imperishable rule”.

121. And both of them ate from that. Their private parts were exposed to them¹⁷⁴ . Both of them tried to cover themselves with leaves of the paradise. Adam disobeyed his God. So, he went astray.

122. Then his God selected him. He forgave him and showed the right way.

123. Both of you , get down altogether. A few among you will be the enemies of a few others. If the right way comes to you from Me, then the one who follows My right way will not go astray. He will not be miserable.

124. For the one, who turns away from My teaching, indeed, there is life of hardship. We will raise him up blind on the Day of Khiyamah¹ .

125. He will ask, “ My God , why have you raised me blind, when I had sight ?”

126. (God) will say , “ Thus, it is. Our verses came to you. As you forgot them, this day you are forgotten.

127. And We will give reward to one who transgressed without believing My verses. The suffering of the hereafter is severe and permanent.

128. Has it not shown them, the right way that We have destroyed ever so many generations ?. These (people) walk on the places where they resided. Indeed , for those who have knowledge there are signs.

129. And the (destruction) would have been confirmed if an appointed period of time and fate had not preceded from your God.

130. Be patient (O Muhammad), about what they say. You glorify and praise your God, before the rising of the sun, before the setting of sun and during the hours of the night. You pray at the ends of the day. You may be satisfied with ( the reward you get).

131. And (O Muhammad) do not project your eyes towards the attraction of the worldly life, which We gave to a few among them, to test.⁴⁸⁴ Your God’s wealth is the best and the permanent.

132. And enjoin(tell) ( O Muhammad) your family to pray. You bear with (the trouble) , incurred because of that. I have not asked for wealth from you. We only give wealth to you. The good outcome is only for fearing (the God).

133. And they ask, “ Should he not bring signs from his God to us?”. Have not the signs of the previous Books reached them ?”

134. And if we had destroyed them, with suffering before, they would have said, “ Our God , should you not have sent any messenger to us?. We would have followed your verses before we had incurred humiliation and disgraced ?

135. All expect. Say , “ You also expect. You will know, who has got the right way and who is eligible for the right way.”
