(25) Surat Al-Furqan سُورَة الفُرقَان

  [ Print Version ] [ Surah Introduction ]  

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الفُرقَانَ عَلَى عَبْدِه ِِ لِيَكُونَ لِلعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرا ً

Blessed be He Who sent down the criterion (of right and wrong, i.e. this Qur'an) to His slave (Muhammad SAW) that he may be a warner to the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns).

Tabaraka Al-Ladhi Nazzala Al-Furqana `Alá `Abdihi Liyakūna Lil`alamina Nadhiraan

الَّذِي لَه ُُ مُلكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرضِ وَلَم يَتَّخِذ وَلَدا ً وَلَم يَكُنلَه ُُ شَرِيك ٌ فِي المُلكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيء ٍ فَقَدَّرَه ُُ تَقْدِيرا ً

He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Who has begotten no son (children or offspring) and for Whom there is no partner in the dominion. He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements.

Al-Ladhi Lahu Mulku As-Samawati Wa Al-'Arđi Wa Lam Yattakhidh Waladaan Wa Lam Yakun Lahu Sharikun Fi Al-Mulki Wa Khalaqa Kulla Shay'in Faqaddarahu Taqdiraan

وَاتَّخَذُوا مِندُونِهِ آلِهَة ً لاَ يَخلُقُونَ شَيئا ً وَهُم يُخلَقُونَ وَلاَ يَملِكُونَ لِأنفُسِهِم ضَرّا ً وَلاَ نَفعا ً وَلاَ يَملِكُونَ مَوتا ً وَلاَ حَيَاة ً وَلاَ نُشُورا ً

Yet they have taken besides Him other aliha (gods) that created nothing but are themselves created, and possess neither hurt nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of raising the dead.

Those who disbelieve say: "This (the Qur'an) is nothing but a lie that he (Muhammad SAW) has invented, and others have helped him at it, so that they have produced an unjust wrong (thing) and a lie."

Wa Qala Al-Ladhina Kafarū 'In Hadha 'Illa 'Ifkun Aftarahu Wa 'A`anahu `Alayhi Qawmun 'Ākharūna Faqad Ja'ū Žulmaan Wa Zūraan

وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الأَوَّلِينَ اكتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُملَى عَلَيهِ بُكرَة ً وَأَصِيلا ً

And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

Wa Qalū 'Asaţiru Al-'Awwalina Aktatabaha Fahiya Tumlá `Alayhi Bukratan Wa 'Aşilaan

Say: "It (this Qur'an) has been sent down by Him (Allah) (the Real Lord of the heavens and earth) Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Qul 'Anzalahu Al-Ladhi Ya`lamu As-Sirra Fi As-Samawati Wa Al-'Arđi 'Innahu Kana Ghafūraan Raĥimaan

And they say: "Why does this Messenger (Muhammad SAW) eat food, and walk about in the markets (like ourselves). Why is not an angel sent down to him to be a warner with him?

Wa Qalū Mali Hadha Ar-Rasūli Ya'kulu Aţ-Ţa`ama Wa Yamshi Fi Al-'Aswaqi Lawla 'Unzila 'Ilayhi Malakun Fayakūna Ma`ahu Nadhiraan

"Or (why) has not a treasure been granted to him, or why has he not a garden whereof he may eat?" And the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) say: "You follow none but a man bewitched."

'Aw Yulqá 'Ilayhi Kanzun 'Aw Takūnu Lahu Jannatun Ya'kulu Minha Wa Qala Až-Žalimūna 'In Tattabi`ūna 'Illa Rajulaan Masĥūraan

انظُر كَيفَ ضَرَبُوا لَكَ الأَمثَالَ فَضَلُّوا فَلاَ يَستَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلا ً

See how they coin similitudes for you, so they have gone astray, and they cannot find a (Right) Path.

Blessed be He Who, if He will, will assign you better than (all) that, - Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) and will assign you palaces (i.e. in Paradise).

بَل كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ وَأَعتَدْنَا لِمَنكَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرا ً

Nay, they deny the Hour (the Day of Resurrection), and for those who deny the Hour, We have prepared a flaming Fire (i.e. Hell).

إِذَا رَأَتهُم مِنمَكَان ٍ بَعِيد ٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظا ً وَزَفِيرا ً

When it (Hell) sees them from a far place, they will hear its raging and its roaring.

And when they shall be thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they will exclaim therein for destruction.

Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "Is that (torment) better or the Paradise of Eternity promised to the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2)?" It will be theirs as a reward and as a final destination.

Qul 'Adhalika Khayrun 'Am Jannatu Al-Khuldi Allati Wu`ida Al-Muttaqūna Kanat Lahum Jaza'an Wa Maşiraan

لَهُم فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ خَالِدِينَ كَانَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ وَعدا ً مَسئُولا ً

For them there will be therein all that they desire, and they will abide (there forever). It is a promise binding upon your Lord that must be fulfilled.

وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم وَمَا يَعبُدُونَ مِندُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ أَأَنْتُم أَضلَلتُم عِبَادِي هَاؤُلاَء أَم هُم ضَلُّوا السَّبِيلَ

And on the Day when He will gather them together and that which they worship besides Allah [idols, angels, pious men, saints, 'Iesa (Jesus) ­ son of Maryam (Mary), etc.]. He will say: "Was it you who misled these My slaves or did they (themselves) stray from the (Right) Path?"

Wa Yawma Yaĥshuruhum Wa Ma Ya`budūna Min Dūni Allahi Fayaqūlu 'A'antum 'Ađlaltum `Ibadi Ha'uula' 'Am Hum Đallū As-Sabila

قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَننَتَّخِذَ مِندُونِكَ مِن أَولِيَاءَ وَلَكِنمَتَّعتَهُم وَآبَاءَهُم حَتَّى نَسُوا الذِّكرَ وَكَانُوا قَوما ً بُورا ً

They will say: "Glorified be You! It was not for us to take any Auliya' (Protectors, Helpers, etc.) besides You, but You gave them and their fathers comfort till they forgot the warning, and became a lost people (doomed to total loss).

Qalū Subĥanaka Ma Kana Yanbaghi Lana 'An Nattakhidha Min Dūnika Min 'Awliya'a Wa Lakin Matta`tahum Wa 'Āba'ahum Ĥattá Nasū Adh-Dhikra Wa Kanū Qawmaan Būraan

Thus they (false gods all deities other than Allah) will give you (polytheists) the lie regarding what you say (that they are gods besides Allah), then you can neither avert (the punishment), nor get help. And whoever among you does wrong (i.e. sets up rivals to Allah), We shall make him taste a great torment.

And We never sent before you (O Muhammad SAW) any of the Messengers but verily, they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience? And your Lord is Ever All-Seer (of everything).

And those who expect not for a Meeting with Us (i.e. those who deny the Day of Resurrection and the life of the Hereafter), say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or why do we not see our Lord?" Indeed they think too highly of themselves, and are scornful with great pride.

On the Day they will see the angels, no glad tidings will there be for the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) that day. And they (angels) will say: "All kinds of glad tidings are forbidden for you," [None will be allowed to enter Paradise except the one who said: La ilaha ill-Allah, "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and acted practically on its legal orders and obligations].

وَقَدِمنَا إِلَى مَا عَمِلُوا مِن عَمَل ٍ فَجَعَلنَاه ُُ هَبَاء ً مَنْثُورا ً

And We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) did, and We shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles of dust.

Wa Qadimna 'Ilá Ma `Amilū Min `Amalin Faja`alnahu Haba'an Manthūraan

أَصحَابُ الجَنَّةِ يَومَئِذٍ خَير ٌ مُستَقَرّا ً وَأَحسَنُ مَقِيلا ً

The dwellers of Paradise (i.e. those who deserved it through their Faith and righteousness) will, on that Day, have the best abode, and have the fairest of places for repose.

And (remember) the Day when the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and the angels will be sent down, with a grand descending.

المُلكُ يَومَئِذ ٍ الحَقُّ لِلرَّحمَنِ وَكَانَ يَوماً عَلَى الكَافِرِينَ عَسِيرا ً

The sovereignty on that Day will be the true (sovereignty), belonging to the Most Beneficent (Allah), and it will be a hard Day for the disbelievers (those who disbelieve in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism).

Al-Mulku Yawma'idhin Al-Ĥaqqu Lilrraĥmani Wa Kana Yawmaan `Alá Al-Kafirina `Asiraan

وَيَومَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَى يَدَيهِ يَقُولُ يَالَيتَنِي اتَّخَذتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلا ً

And (remember) the Day when the Zalim (wrong-doer, oppressor, polytheist, etc.) will bite at his hands, he will say: "Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger ( Muhammad SAW).

Wa Yawma Ya`ađđu Až-Žalimu `Alá Yadayhi Yaqūlu Ya Laytani Attakhadhtu Ma`a Ar-Rasūli Sabilaan

And the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur'an (neither listened to it, nor acted on its laws and orders).

Thus have We made for every Prophet an enemy among the Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, criminals, etc.). But Sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper.

And those who disbelieve say: "Why is not the Qur'an revealed to him all at once?" Thus (it is sent down in parts), that We may strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you gradually, in stages. (It was revealed to the Prophet SAW in 23 years.).

Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces, such will be in an evil state, and most astray from the (Straight) Path.

And indeed they have passed by the town [of Prophet Lout (Lot)] on which was rained the evil rain. Did they (disbelievers) not then see it (with their own eyes)? Nay ! But they used not to expect for any resurrection.
