- Sura: 2 - al-Baqara (The Cow) Ayat: 17
مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُ ذَهَبَ اللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ (17
ان کی مثال اس شخص کی ہے جس نے روشنی کے لئے آگ بھڑکائی اور جب ہر طرف روشنی پھیل گئی تو خدا نے اس کے نور کو سلب کرلیا اور اب اسے اندھیرے میں کچھ سوجھتا بھی نہیں ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.
[ PICKTHAL ] Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindleth fire, and when it sheddeth its light around him Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darkness, where they cannot see,
[ SHAKIR ] 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.
- Sura: 2 - al-Baqara (The Cow) Ayat: 20
يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ ۖ كُلَّمَا أَضَاءَ لَهُمْ مَشَوْا فِيهِ وَإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا ۚ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (20
قریب ہے کہ بجلی ان کی آنکھوں کو چکاچوندھ کردے کہ جب وہ چمک جائے تو چل پڑیں اور جب اندھیرا ہوجائے تو ٹھہر جائیں. خدا چاہے تو ان کی سماعت و بصارت کو بھی ختم کرسکتا ہے کہ وہ ہر شے پر قدرت و اختیار رکھنے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] The lightning all but snatches away their sight; every time the light (Helps) them, they walk therein, and when the darkness grows on them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could take away their faculty of hearing and seeing; for Allah hath power over all things.
[ PICKTHAL ] The lightning almost snatcheth away their sight from them. As often as it flasheth forth for them they walk therein, and when it darkeneth against them they stand still. If Allah willed, He could destroy their hearing and their sight. Lo! Allah is able to do all things.
[ SHAKIR ] The lightning almost takes away their sight; whenever it shines on them they walk in it, and when it becomes dark to them they stand still; and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have taken away their hearing and their sight; surely Allah has power over all things.
- Sura: 2 - al-Baqara (The Cow) Ayat: 96
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَاةٍ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا ۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ أَنْ يُعَمَّرَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ (96
اے رسولؐ آپ دیکھیں گے کہ یہ زندگی کے سب سے زیادہ حریص ہیں اور بعض مشرکین تو یہ چاہتے ہیں کہ انہیں ہزار برس کی عمر دے دی جائے جبکہ یہ ہزار برس بھی زندہ رہیں تو طولِ حیات انہیں عذابِ الٰہی سے نہیں بچا سکتا. اللہ ان کے اعمال کو خوب دیکھ رہا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Thou wilt indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life,-even more than the idolaters: Each one of them wishes He could be given a life of a thousand years: But the grant of such life will not save him from (due) punishment. For Allah sees well all that they do.
[ PICKTHAL ] And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years) would be no means remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do.
[ SHAKIR ] And you will most certainly find them the greediest of men for life (greedier) than even those who are polytheists; every one of them loves that he should be granted a life of a thousand years, and his being granted a long life will in no way remove him further off from the chastisement, and Allah sees what they do.

(255
اللہ جس کے علاوہ کوئی خدا نہیں ہے زندہ بھی ہے اور اسی سے کِل کائنات قائم ہے اسے نہ نیند آتی ہے نہ اُونگھ آسمانوں اور زمین میں جو کچھ بھی ہے سب اسی کا ہے۔ کون ہے جو اس کی بارگاہ میں اس کی اجازت کے بغیر سفارش کرسکے۔ وہ جو کچھ ان کے سامنے ہے اور جو پسِ پشت ہے سب کو جانتا ہے اور یہ اس کے علم کے ایک حصہ کا بھی احاطہ نہیں کرسکتے مگر وہ جس قدر چاہے۔ اس کی کرسی علم و اقتدار زمین و آسمان سے وسیع تر ہے اور اسے ان کے تحفظ میں کوئی تکلیف بھی نہیں ہوتی وہ عالی مرتبہ بھی ہے اور صاحبِ عظمت بھی
[YOUSAF ALI] Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).
[ PICKTHAL ] Allah! There is no deity save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
[ SHAKIR ] Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great.
- Sura: 2 - al-Baqara (The Cow) Ayat: 259
(259
یا اس بندے کی مثال جس کا گذر ایک قریہ سے ہوا جس کے سارے عرش و فرش گر چکے تھے تو اس بندہ نے کہا کہ خدا ان سب کو موت کے بعد کس طرح زندہ کرے گا تو خدا نے اس بندہ کو سو سال کے لئے موت دے دی اورپھر زندہ کیا اور پوچھا کہ کتنی دیر پڑے رہے تو اس نے کہا کہ ایک دن یا کچھ کم۔ فرمایا نہیں۔ سو سال ذرا اپنے کھانے اور پینے کو تو دیکھو کہ خراب تک نہیں ہوا اور اپنے گدھے پر نگاہ کرو (کہ سڑ گل گیا ہے) اور ہم اسی طرح تمہیں لوگوں کے لئے ایک نشانی بنانا چاہتے ہیں پھر ان ہڈیوں کو دیکھو کہ ہم کس طرح جوڑ کر ان پر گوشت چڑھاتے ہیں. پھر جب ان پر یہ بات واضح ہوگئی تو بیساختہ آواز دی کہ مجھے معلوم ہے کہ خدا ہر شے پر قادر ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Or (take) the similitude of one who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" but Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: (Perhaps) a day or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they show no signs of age; and look at thy donkey: And that We may make of thee a sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things."
[ PICKTHAL ] Or (bethink thee of) the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin, exclaimed: How shall Allah give this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years, then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried? (The man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which have not rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him, he said: I know now that Allah is Able to do all things.
[ SHAKIR ] Or the like of him (Uzair) who passed by a town, and it had fallen down upon its roofs; he said: When will Allah give it life after its death? So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him to life. He said: How long have you tarried? He said: I have tarried a day, or a part of a day. Said He: Nay! you have tarried a hundred years; then look at your food and drink-- years have not passed over it; and look at your ass; and that We may make you a sign to men, and look at the bones, how We set them together, then clothed them with flesh; so when it became clear to him, he said: I know that Allah has power over all things.
- Sura: 3 - aal-`Imraan (The Family of `Imraan) Ayat: 15
۞ قُلْ أَؤُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَٰلِكُمْ ۚ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَأَزْوَاجٌ مُطَهَّرَةٌ وَرِضْوَانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ (15
پیغمبر آپ کہہ دیں کہ کیا میں ان سب سے بہتر چیز کی خبر دوں- جو لوگ تقوٰی اختیار کرنے والے ہیں ان کے لئے پروردگار کے یہاں وہ باغات ہیں جن کے نیچے نہریں جاری ہیں اور وہ ان میں ہمیشہ رہنے والے ہیں . ان کے لئے پاکیزہ بیویاں ہیں اور اللہ کی خوشنودی ہے اور اللہ اپنے بندوں کے حالات سے خوب باخبر ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Say: Shall I give you glad tidings of things Far better than those? For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord, with rivers flowing beneath; therein is their eternal home; with companions pure (and holy); and the good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are (all) His servants,-
[ PICKTHAL ] Say: Shall I inform you of something better than that? For those who keep from evil, with their Lord, are Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide, and pure companions, and contentment from Allah. Allah is Seer of His bondmen,
[ SHAKIR ] 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; and Allah sees the servants.
- Sura: 3 - aal-`Imraan (The Family of `Imraan) Ayat: 140
إِنْ يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِثْلُهُ ۚ وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنْكُمْ شُهَدَاءَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ (140
اگر تمہیں کوئی تکلیف چھولیتی ہے تو قوم کو بھی اس سے پہلے ایسی ہی تکلیف ہوچکی ہے اور ہم تو زمانے کو لوگوں کے درمیان الٹتے پلٹتے رہتے ہیں تاکہ خدا صاحبانِ ایمان کو دیکھ لے اور تم میں سے بعض کو شہدائ قرار دے اور وہ ظالمین کو دوست نہیں رکھتا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks Martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.
[ PICKTHAL ] If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers.
[ SHAKIR ] If a wound has afflicted you (at Ohud), a wound like it has also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and We bring these days to men by turns, and that Allah may know those who believe and take witnesses from among you; and Allah does not love the unjust.
- Sura: 5 - al-Maaida (The Table) Ayat: 86
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ (86
اور جن لوگوں نے کفر اختیار کرلیا اور ہماری آیات کو جھٹلا دیا تو وہ لوگ جہنّمی ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] But those who reject Faith and belie our Signs,- they shall be companions of Hell-fire.
[ PICKTHAL ] But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, they are owners of hell-fire.
[ SHAKIR ] And (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our communications, these are the companions of the flame.
- Sura: 6 - al-An`aam (The Cattle) Ayat: 103
لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصَارَ ۖ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ (103
نگاہیں اسے پا نہیں سکتیں اور وہ نگاہوں کا برابر ادراک رکھتا ہے کہ وہ لطیف بھی ہے اور خبیر بھی ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.
[ PICKTHAL ] Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtile, the Aware.
[ SHAKIR ] Vision comprehends Him not, and He comprehends (all) vision; and He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.

موسٰی علیہ السّلام نے کہا کہ تم ابتدا کرو- ان لوگوں نے رسیاں پھینکیں تو لوگوں کی آنکھوں پر جادو کر دیا اور انہیں خوفزدہ کر دیا اور بہت بڑے جادو کا مظاہرہ کیا
[YOUSAF ALI] Said Moses: "Throw ye (first)." So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them: for they showed a great (feat of) magic.
[ PICKTHAL ] He said: Throw! And when they threw they cast a spell upon the people's eyes, and overawed them, and produced a mighty spell.
[ SHAKIR ] He said: Cast. So when they cast, they deceived the people's eyes and frightened them, and they produced a mighty enchantment.
- Sura: 7 - al-A`araaf (The Heights) From Ayat: 116 to 117
(117
اور ہم نے موسٰی علیہ السّلام کو اشارہ کیا کہ اب تم بھی اپنا عصا ڈال دو وہ ان کے تمام جادو کے سانپوں کو نگل جائے گا
[YOUSAF ALI] We put it into Moses's mind by inspiration: "Throw (now) thy rod":and behold! it swallows up straight away all the falsehoods which they fake!
[ PICKTHAL ] And We inspired Moses (saying): Throw thy staff! And lo! it swallowed up their lying show.
[ SHAKIR ] And We revealed to Musa, saying: Cast your rod; then lo! it devoured the lies they told.

اور جب خدا مقابلہ کے وقت تمہاری نظروں میں دشمنوں کو کم دکھلا رہا تھا اور ان کی نظروں میں تمہیں کم کرکے دکھلا رہا تھا تاکہ اس امر کا فیصلہ کردے جو ہونے والا تھا اور سارے امور کی بازگشت اللہ ہی کی طرف ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] And remember when ye met, He showed them to you as few in your eyes, and He made you appear as contemptible in their eyes: that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted. For to Allah do all questions go back (for decision).
[ PICKTHAL ] And when He made you (Muslims), when ye met (them), see them with your eyes as few, and lessened you in their eyes, (it was) that Allah might conclude a thing that must be done. Unto Allah all things are brought back.
[ SHAKIR ] 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.
- Sura: 9 - at-Tawba (The Repentance) Ayat: 32
يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ (32
یہ لوگ چاہتے ہیں کہ نو» خدا کواپنے منہ سے پھونک مار کر بجھا دیں حالانکہ خدا اس کے علاوہ کچھ ماننے کے لئے تیار نہیں ہے کہ وہ اپنے نور کو تمام کردے چاہے کافروں کو یہ کتنا ہی برا کیوںنہ لگے
[YOUSAF ALI] Fain would they extinguish Allah's light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).
[ PICKTHAL ] Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.
[ SHAKIR ] 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.

وَلَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ إِذَا مَا أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّوْا وَأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُوا مَا يُنْفِقُونَ (92
اور ان پر بھی کوئی الزام نہیں ہے جو آپ کے پاس آئے کہ انہیں بھی سواری پر لے لیجئے اور آپ ہی نے کہہ دیا کہ ہمارے پاس سواری کا انتظام نہیں ہے اور وہ آپ کے پاس سے اس عالم میں پلٹے کہ ان کی آنکھوں سے آنسو جاری تھے اور انہیں اس بات کا رنج تھا کہ ان کے پاس راہ هخدا میں خرچ کرنے کے لئے کچھ نہیں ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Nor (is there blame) on those who came to thee to be provided with mounts, and when thou saidst, "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back, their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the expenses.
[ PICKTHAL ] Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you. They turned back with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend.
[ SHAKIR ] 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; they went back while their eyes overflowed with tears on account of grief for not finding that which they should spend.

[YOUSAF ALI] Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority), regulating and governing all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except after His leave (hath been obtained). This is Allah your Lord; Him therefore serve ye: will ye not receive admonition?
[ PICKTHAL ] Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then He established Himself upon the Throne, directing all things. There is no intercessor (with Him) save after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Oh, will ye not remind?
[ SHAKIR ] 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; this is Allah, your Lord, therefore serve Him; will you not then mind?

[YOUSAF ALI] It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand.
[ PICKTHAL ] He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge.
[ SHAKIR ] 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; He makes the signs manifest for a people who

زندگانی دنیا کی مثال صرف اس بارش کی ہے جسے ہم نے آسمان سے نازل کیا پھر اس سے مل کر زمین سے وہ نباتات برآمد ہوئیں جن کو انسان اورجانور کھاتے ہیں یہاں تک کہ جب زمین نے سبزہ زار سے اپنے کو آراستہ کرلیا اور مالکوں نے خیال کرنا شروع کردیا کہ اب ہم اس زمین کے صاحب هاختیار ہیں تو اچانک ہمارا حکم رات یا دن کے وقت آگیا اور ہم نے اسے بالکل کٹا ہوا کھیت بنادیا گویا اس میں کل کچھ تھا ہی نہیں -ہم اسی طرح اپنی آیتوں کو مفصل طریقہ سے بیان کرتے ہیں اس قوم کے لئے جو صاحبِ فکر و نظر ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: (It grows) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out (in beauty): the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest clean-mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect.
[ PICKTHAL ] The similitude of the life of the world is only as water which We send down from the sky, then the earth's growth of that which men and cattle eat mingleth with it till, when the earth hath taken on her ornaments and is embellished, and her people deem that they are masters of her, Our commandment cometh by night or by day and We make it as reaped corn as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do we expound the revelations for people who reflect.
[ SHAKIR ] 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; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect.
- Sura: 10 - Yunus (Jonas) Ayat: 102
فَهَلْ يَنْتَظِرُونَ إِلَّا مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ فَانْتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ (102
اب کیا یہ لوگ ان ہی اِرے دنوں کا انتظار کررہے ہیں جو ان سے پہلے والوں پر گزر چکے ہیں تو کہہ دیجئے کہ پھر انتظار کرو میں بھی تمہارے ساتھ انتظار کرنے والوں میں ہوں
[YOUSAF ALI] Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: "Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you."
[ PICKTHAL ] What expect they save the like of the days of those who passed away before them? Say: Expect then! I am with you among the expectant.
[ SHAKIR ] What do they wait for then but the like of the days of those who passed away before them? Say: Wait then; surely I too am with you of those who wait.

[YOUSAF ALI] And he turned away from them, and said: "How great is my grief for Joseph!" And his eyes became white with sorrow, and he fell into silent melancholy.
[ PICKTHAL ] And he turned away from them and said: Alas, my grief for Joseph! And his eyes were whitened with the sorrow that he was suppressing.
[ SHAKIR ] 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).

وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَظِلَالُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ ۩ (15
اللہ ہی کے لئے زمین و آسمان والے ہنسی خوشی یا زبردستی سجدہ کررہے ہیں اور صبح و شام ان کے سائے بھی سجدہ کناں ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah (Acknowledging subjection),- with good-will or in spite of themselves: so do their shadows in the morning and evenings.
[ PICKTHAL ] And unto Allah falleth prostrate whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the morning and the evening hours.
[ SHAKIR ] 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.
- Sura: 13 - ar-Ra`ad (The Thunder) Ayat: 35
۞ مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ أُكُلُهَا دَائِمٌ وَظِلُّهَا ۚ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا ۖ وَعُقْبَى الْكَافِرِينَ النَّارُ (35
جس جنت کا صاحبانِ تقویٰ سے وعدہ کیا گیا ہے اس کی مثال یہ ہے کہ اس کے نیچے نہریں جاری ہوں گی اور اس کے پھل دائمی ہوں گے اور سایہ بھی ہمیشہ رہے گا -یہ صاحبان هتقوٰی کی عاقبت ہے اور کفار کا انجام کار بہرحال جّہنم ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised!- beneath it flow rivers: perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the end of the Righteous; and the end of Unbelievers in the Fire.
[ PICKTHAL ] A similitude of the Garden which is promised unto those who keep their duty (to Allah): Underneath it rivers flow; its food is everlasting, and its shade; this is the reward of those who keep their duty, while the reward of disbelievers is the Fire.
[ SHAKIR ] A likeness of the garden which the righteous are promised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and shades are perpetual; this is the requital of those who guarded (against evil), and the requital of the unbelievers is the fire.
- Sura: 16 - an-Nahl (The Bee) Ayat: 13
وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ (13
اور جو کچھ تمہارے لئے اس زمین کے اندر مختلف رنگوں میں پیدا کیا ہے اس میں بھی عبرت حاصل کرنے والی قوم کے لئے اس کی نشانیاں پائی جاتی ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] And the things on this earth which He has multiplied in varying colours (and qualities): verily in this is a sign for men who celebrate the praises of Allah (in gratitude).
[ PICKTHAL ] And whatsoever He hath created for you in the earth of divers hues, lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who take heed.
[ SHAKIR ] 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.
- Sura: 16 - an-Nahl (The Bee) Ayat: 48
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَالُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالشَّمَائِلِ سُجَّدًا لِلَّهِ وَهُمْ دَاخِرُونَ (48
کیا ان لوگوں نے ان مخلوقات کو نہیں دیکھا ہے جن کا سایہ داہنے بائیں پلٹتا رہتا ہے کہ سب اسی کی بارگاہ میں تواضع و انکسار کے ساتھ سجدہ ریز ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] Do they not look at Allah's creation, (even) among (inanimate) things,- How their (very) shadows turn round, from the right and the left, prostrating themselves to Allah, and that in the humblest manner?
[ PICKTHAL ] Have they not observed all things that Allah hath created, how their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly?
[ SHAKIR ] 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.
- Sura: 16 - an-Nahl (The Bee) Ayat: 77
وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَا أَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (77
آسمان و زمین کا سارا غیب اللہ ہی کے لئے ہے اور قیامت کا حکم تو صرف ایک پلک جھپکنے کے برابر یا اس سے بھی قریب تر ہے اور یقینا اللہ ہر شے پر قدرت رکھنے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] To Allah belongeth the Mystery of the heavens and the earth. And the Decision of the Hour (of Judgment) is as the twingkling of an eye, or even quicker: for Allah hath power over all things.
[ PICKTHAL ] And unto Allah belongeth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and the matter of the Hour (of Doom) is but as a twinkling of the eye, or it is nearer still. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
[ SHAKIR ] And Allah's is the unseen of the heavens and the earth; and the matter of the hour is but as the twinkling of an eye or it is higher still; surely Allah has power over all things.
- Sura: 18 - al-Kahf (The Cave) Ayat: 19
وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُوا أَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَٰذِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَيُّهَا أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا (19
اور اس طرح ہم نے انہیں دوبارہ زندہ کیا تاکہ آپس میں ایک دوسرے سے سوال کریں تو ایک نے کہا کہ تم نے کتنی مدت توقف کیا ہے تو سب نے کہا کہ ایک دن یا اس کا ایک حصہّ ان لوگوں نے کہا کہ تمہارا پروردگار اس مدّت سے بہتر باخبر ہے اب تم اپنے سکے دے کر کسی کو شہر کی طرف بھیجو وہ دیکھے کہ کون سا کھانا بہتر ہے اور پھر تمہارے لئے رزق کا سامان فراہم کرے اور وہ آہستہ جائے اورکسی کو تمہارے بارے میں خبر نہ ہونے پائے
[YOUSAF ALI] Such (being their state), we raised them up (from sleep), that they might question each other. Said one of them, "How long have ye stayed (here)?" They said, "We have stayed (perhaps) a day, or part of a day." (At length) they (all) said, "Allah (alone) knows best how long ye have stayed here.... Now send ye then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food (to be had) and bring some to you, that (ye may) satisfy your hunger therewith: And let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform any one about you.
[ PICKTHAL ] And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.
[ SHAKIR ] 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:

کہ اپنے بچہ کو صندوق میں رکھ دو اور پھر صندوق کو دریا کے حوالے کردو موجیں اسے ساحل پر ڈال دیں گی اور ایک ایسا شخص اسے اٹھالے گا جو میرا بھی دشمن ہے اور موسٰی کا بھی دشمن ہے اور ہم نے تم پر اپنی محبت کا عکس ڈال دیا تاکہ تمہیں ہماری نگرانی میں پالا جائے
[YOUSAF ALI] "'Throw (the child) into the chest, and throw (the chest) into the river: the river will cast him up on the bank, and he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me and an enemy to him': But I cast (the garment of) love over thee from Me: and (this) in order that thou mayest be reared under Mine eye.
[ PICKTHAL ] Saying: Throw him into the ark, and throw it into the river, then the river shall throw it on to the bank, and there an enemy to Me and an enemy to him shall take him. And I endued thee with love from Me that thou mightest be trained according to My will,
[ SHAKIR ] Saying: Put him into a chest, then cast it down into the river, then the river shall throw him on the shore; there shall take him up one who is an enemy to Me and enemy to him, and I cast down upon you love from Me, and that you might be brought up before My eyes;

اس وقت کو یاد کرو جب تمہاری بہن جارہی تھیں کہ فرعون سے کہیں کہ کیا میں کسی ایسے کا پتہ بتاؤں جو اس کی کفالت کرسکے اور اس طرح ہم نے تم کو تمہاری ماں کی طرف پلٹا دیا تاکہ ان کی آنکھیں ٹھنڈی ہوجائیں اور وہ رنجیدہ نہ ہوں اور تم نے ایک شخص کو قتل کردیا تو ہم نے تمہیں غم سے نجات دے دی اور تمہارا باقاعدہ امتحان لے لیا پھر تم اہل مدین میں کئی برس تک رہے اس کے بعد تم ایک منزل پر آگئے اے موسٰی
[YOUSAF ALI] "Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man, but We saved thee from trouble, and We tried thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses!
[ PICKTHAL ] When thy sister went and said: Shall I show you one who will nurse him? and we restored thee to thy mother that her eyes might be refreshed and might not sorrow. And thou didst kill a man and We delivered thee from great distress, and tried thee with a heavy trial. And thou didst tarry years among the folk of Midian. Then camest thou (hither) by (My) providence, O Moses,
[ SHAKIR ] 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; then you came hither as ordained, O Musa.

پیغمبرؐ یہ لوگ آپ سے عذاب میں عجلت کا تقاضا کر رہے ہیں حالانکہ خدا اپنے وعدہ کے خلاف ہرگز نہیں کرسکتا ہے اور آپ کے پروردگار کے نزدیک ایک دن بھی ان کے شمار کے ہزار سال کے برابر ہوتا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! But Allah will not fail in His Promise. Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
[ PICKTHAL ] And they will bid thee hasten on the Doom, and Allah faileth not His promise, but lo! a Day with Allah is as a thousand years of what ye reckon.
[ SHAKIR ] 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.

کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ اللہ نے آسمان سے پانی برسایا تو اس سے زمین سرسبز وشاداب ہوجاتی ہے یقینا اللہ بہت زیادہ مہربان اور حالات کی خبر رکھنے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and forthwith the earth becomes clothed with green? for Allah is He Who understands the finest mysteries, and is well-acquainted (with them).
[ PICKTHAL ] Seest thou not how Allah sendeth down water from the sky and then the earth becometh green upon the morrow? Lo! Allah is Subtile, Aware.
[ SHAKIR ] Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud so the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Benignant, Aware.

اور ایک شخص نے جس کے پاس کتاب کا ایک حصہّ علم تھا اس نے کہا کہ میں اتنی جلدی لے آؤں گا کہ آپ کی پلک بھی نہ جھپکنے پائے اس کے بعد سلیمان نے تخت کو اپنے سامنے حاضر دیکھا تو کہنے لگے یہ میرے پروردگار کا فضل و کرم ہے وہ میرا امتحان لینا چاہتا ہے کہ میں شکریہ ادا کرتا ہوں یا کفرانِ نعمت کرتا ہوں اور جو شکریہ ادا کرے گا وہ اپنے ہی فائدہ کے لئے کرے گا اور جو کفران هنعمت کرے گا اس کی طرف سے میرا پروردگار بے نیاز اور کریم ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour !"
[ PICKTHAL ] One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will bring it thee before thy gaze returneth unto thee. And when he saw it set in his presence, (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul's hurt). For lo! my Lord is Absolute in independence, Bountiful.
[ SHAKIR ] 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; and whoever is grateful, he is grateful only for his own soul, and whoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord is Self-sufficient, Honored.
- Sura: 28 - al-Qasas (The Stories) Ayat: 13
فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ أُمِّهِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (13
پھر ہم نے موسٰی کو ان کی ماں کی طرف پلٹا دیا تاکہ ان کی آنکھ ٹھنڈی ہوجائے اور وہ پریشان نہ رہیں اور انہیں معلوم ہوجائے کہ اللہ کا وعدہ بہرحال سچا ّہے اگرچہ لوگوں کی اکثریت اسے نہیں جانتی ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Thus did We restore him to his mother, that her eye might be comforted, that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true: but most of them do not understand.
[ PICKTHAL ] So We restored him to his mother that she might be comforted and not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not.
[ SHAKIR ] 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.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِلْعَالِمِينَ (22
اور اس کی نشانیوں میں سے آسمان و زمین کی خلقت اور تمہاری زبانوں اور تمہارے رنگوں کا اختلاف بھی ہے کہ اس میں صاحبانِ علم کے لئے بہت سی نشانیاں پائی جاتی ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
[ PICKTHAL ] And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Lo! herein indeed are portents for men of knowledge.

اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۖ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ (4
اللرُہی وہ ہے جس نے آسمان و زمین اور اس کی تمام درمیانی مخلوقات کو چھ دن کے اندر پیدا کیا ہے اور اس کے بعد عرش پر اپنا اقتدار قائم کیا ہے اور تمہارے لئے اس کو چھوڑ کر کوئی سرپرست یا سفارش کرنے والا نہیں ہے کیا تمہاری سمجھ میں یہ بات نہیں آرہی ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all between them, in six Days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): ye have none, besides Him, to protect or intercede (for you): will ye not then receive admonition?
[ PICKTHAL ] Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days. Then He mounted the Throne. Ye have not, beside Him, a protecting friend or mediator. Will ye not then remember?
[ SHAKIR ] 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); you have not besides Him any guardian or any intercessor, will you not then mind?
- Sura: 32 - as-Sajda (The Prostration) Ayat: 5
يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ (5
وہ خدا آسمان سے زمین تک کے اُمور کی تدبیر کرتا ہے پھر یہ امر اس کی بارگاہ میں اس دن پیش ہوگا جس کی مقدار تمہارے حساب کے مطابق ہزار سال کے برابر ہوگی
[YOUSAF ALI] He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up to Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning.
[ PICKTHAL ] He directeth the ordinance from the heaven unto the earth; then it ascendeth unto Him in a Day, whereof the measure is a thousand years of that ye reckon.
[ SHAKIR ] He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth; then shall it ascend to Him in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.
- Sura: 33 - al-Ahzaab (The Clans) Ayat: 51
۞ تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ ۖ وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَنْ تَقَرَّ أَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَا آتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَلِيمًا (51
ان میں سے جس کو آپ چاہیں الگ کرلیں اور جس کو چاہیں اپنی پناہ میں رکھیں اور جن کو الگ کردیا ہے ان میں سے بھی کسی کو چاہیں تو کوئی حرج نہیں ہے - یہ سب اس لئے ہے تاکہ ان کی آنکھیں ٹھنڈی رہیں اور یہ رنجیدہ نہ ہوں اور جو کچھ آپ نے دیدیا ہے اس سے خوش رہیں اوراللہ تمہارے دلوں کا حال خوب جانتا ہے اور وہ ہر شے کا جاننے والا اور صاحبِ حکمت ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
[ PICKTHAL ] Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee whom thou wilt, and whomsoever thou desirest of those whom thou hast set aside (temporarily), it is no sin for thee (to receive her again); that is better; that they may be comforted and not grieve, and may all be pleased with what thou givest them. Allah knoweth what is in your hearts (O men), and Allah is ever Forgiving, Clement.
[ SHAKIR ] 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; no blame attaches to you; this is most proper, so that their eyes may be cool and they may not grieve, and that they should be pleased, all of them with what you give them, and Allah knows what is in your hearts; and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.

کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ خدا نے آسمان سے پانی نازل کیا پھر ہم نے اس سے مختلف رنگ کے پھل پیدا کئے اور پہاڑوں میں بھی مختلف رنگوں کے سفید اور سرخ راستے بنائے اور بعض بالکل سیاہ رنگ تھے
[YOUSAF ALI] Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky? With it We then bring out produce of various colours. And in the mountains are tracts white and red, of various shades of colour, and black intense in hue.

اور انسانوں اور چوپایوں اور جانوروں میں بھی مختلف رنگ کی مخلوقات پائی جاتی ہیں لیکن اللہ سے ڈرنے والے اس کے بندوں میں صرف صاحبانِ معرفت ہیں بیشک اللہ صاحب هعزّت اور بہت بخشنے والا ہے
[YOUSAF ALI] And so amongst men and crawling creatures and cattle, are they of various colours. Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge: for Allah is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.
[ PICKTHAL ] And of men and beasts and cattle, in like manner, divers hues? The erudite among His bondmen fear Allah alone. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Forgiving.

اور ہم اگر چاہیں تو ان کی آنکھوں کو مٹا دیں پھر یہ راستہ کی طرف قدم بڑھاتے رہیں لیکن کہاں دیکھ سکتے ہیں
[YOUSAF ALI] If it had been our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; then should they have run about groping for the Path, but how could they have seen?
[ PICKTHAL ] And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen?
[ SHAKIR ] 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?

[YOUSAF ALI] Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and leads it through springs in the earth?

Truly, in this, is a Message of remembrance to men of understanding.
[ PICKTHAL ] Hast thou not seen how Allah hath sent down water from the sky and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as watersprings, and afterward thereby produceth crops of divers hues; and afterward they wither and thou seest them turn yellow; then He maketh them chaff.

It will be said: "Turn ye back to your rear! then seek a Light (where ye can)!" So a wall will be put up betwixt them, with a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy throughout, and without it, all alongside, will be (Wrath and) Punishment!
[ PICKTHAL ] On the day when the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women will say unto those who believe: Look on us that we may borrow from your light! it will be said: Go back and seek for light!
