Surat Az - Zumar
1. the Revelation of This Book (the
Qur'ân) is from Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
2. Verily, we have sent down the
Book to You (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) In truth: so Worship
Allâh (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake only, (and
not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with Him In worship).
3. surely, the Religion (i.e. the
Worship and the obedience) is for Allâh only. and those who take Auliyâ'
(protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We Worship them Only that
they may bring us near to Allâh." Verily, Allâh will judge between them
concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allâh guides not Him who is a liar,
and a disbeliever.
4. had Allâh willed to take a son
(or offspring or children), He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those
whom He created. but Glory be to him! (He is above such things). He is Allâh,
the one, the Irresistible.
5. He has created the heavens and
the earth with truth. He makes the night to Go In the Day and makes the Day to
Go In the night. and He has subjected the sun and the moon. each running (on a
fixed course) for an appointed term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the
Oft-Forgiving.
6. He created You (all) from a
single person (Adam); Then made from Him his wife [Hawwa' (Eve)]. and He has
sent down for You of cattle Eight pairs (of the sheep, two, male and female; of
the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the
camels, two, male and female). He creates You In the wombs of Your mothers,
creation after creation In three veils of darkness, such is Allâh Your Lord.
his is the kingdom, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the Right to be worshipped but
He). How Then are You turned away?
7. if You disbelieve, Then Verily,
Allâh is not In need of you, He likes not disbelief for his slaves. and if You
are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. no bearer
of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then to Your Lord is Your return,
so He will Inform You what You used to do. Verily, He is the All-Knower of that
which is In (men's) breasts.
8. and when some hurt touches man,
He cries to his Lord (Allâh Alone), turning to Him In repentance, but when He bestows
a Favour upon Him from himself, He forgets that for which He cried for before,
and He sets up rivals to Allâh, In order to mislead others from his Path. say:
"Take pleasure In Your disbelief for a while: surely, You are (one) of the
dwellers of the Fire!"
9. is one who is obedient to Allâh,
prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night,
fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like one who
disbelieves)? say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not?"
it is Only men of understanding who will Remember (i.e. get a lesson from
Allâh's signs and Verses).
10. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "O My slaves who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh
Islâmic Monotheism), be afraid of Your Lord (Allâh) and keep Your duty to Him.
good is (the reward) for those who do good In This world, and Allâh's earth is
spacious (so if You cannot Worship Allâh at a place, Then Go to another)! Only
those who are patient shall receive their rewards In full, without reckoning."
11. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "Verily, I am commanded to Worship Allâh (Alone) by
obeying Him and doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake Only and not
to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him In worship;
12. "And I am commanded (this)
In order that I may be the first of those who submit themselves to Allâh (in
Islâm) as Muslims."
13. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "Verily, if I disobey My Lord, I am afraid of the
torment of a great Day."
14. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam) "Allâh alone I Worship by doing religious deeds
sincerely for his sake Only and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with
Him In worship."
15. so Worship what You like
besides Him. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam): "The losers
are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of
Resurrection. Verily, that will be a manifest loss!"
16. they shall have coverings of
Fire, above them and covering (of fire) beneath them; with This Allâh does
frighten his slaves: "O My slaves, Therefore fear Me!"
17. those who avoid At-Tâghût
(false deities) by not worshipping them and turn to Allâh In repentance, for
them are glad tidings; so announce the good news to My slaves,
18. those who listen to the word
[good advice Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the Right to be worshipped but Allâh)
and Islâmic Monotheism, etc.] and follow the best thereof (i.e. Worship Allâh
alone, repent to Him and avoid Tâghût, etc.) those are (the ones) whom Allâh
has guided and those are men of understanding (like Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail,
Salmân Al-Fârisi and Abû Dhar Al-Ghifârî). [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 12, P. 244]
19. is, Then one against whom the
word of punishment justified (equal to the one who avoids evil). will You (O
Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) Rescue Him who is In the Fire?
20. but those who fear Allâh and
keep their duty to their Lord (Allâh), for them are built lofty rooms; one
above another under which rivers flow (i.e. Paradise). (this is) the Promise of
Allâh: and Allâh does not fail In (His) Promise.
21. see You not, that Allâh sends
down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and Then
makes it to spring up) as water-springs and afterward thereby produces crops of
different colours, and afterward they wither and You see them turn yellow, Then
He makes them dry and broken pieces. Verily, In this, is a Reminder for men of
understanding.
22. is He whose breast Allâh has
opened to Islâm, so that He is In light from his Lord (as He who is
non-Muslim)? So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of
Allâh! they are In plain error!
23. Allâh has sent down the best
statement, a Book (this Qur'ân), its parts resembling each other In goodness
and truth, oft-repeated. the skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it
(when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the
remembrance of Allâh. that is the guidance of Allâh. He guides therewith whom
He pleases and whomever Allâh sends astray, for Him there is no guide.
24. is He then, who will confront
with his face the awful torment on the Day of Resurrection (as He who enters
peacefully In Paradise)? and it will be said to the Zâlimûn (polytheists and
wrong-doers, etc.): "Taste what You used to earn!"
25. those before them belied, and
so the torment came on them from directions they perceived not.
26. so Allâh made them to taste the
disgrace In the present life, but greater is the torment of the Hereafter if
they Only knew!
27. and indeed we have put forth
for men, In This Qur'ân Every kind of similitude In order that they may
remember.
28. an Arabic Qur'ân, without any
crookedness (therein) In order that they may avoid All evil which Allâh has
ordered them to avoid, fear Him and keep their duty to Him.
29. Allâh puts forth a similitude:
a (slave) man belonging to many partners (like those who Worship others along
with Allâh) disputing with one another, and a (slave) man belonging entirely to
one master, (like those who Worship Allâh Alone). are those two equal In
comparison? All the praises and thanks be to Allâh! but Most of them know not.
30. Verily, You (O Muhammad
Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) will die and Verily, they (too) will die.
31. then, on the Day of
Resurrection, You will be disputing before Your Lord.
32. then, who does more wrong than
one who utters a lie against Allâh, and denies the Truth [This Qur'ân, the
Prophet (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam), the Islâmic Monotheism, the
Resurrection and the reward or punishment according to good or evil deeds] when
it comes to him! is there not In Hell an abode for the disbelievers?
33. and He (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam) who has brought the Truth (this Qur'ân and Islâmic
Monotheism) and (those who) believed therein (i.e. the true believers of
Islâmic Monotheism), those are Al- Muttaqûn (the pious and righteous persons -
see V.2:2).
34. they shall have All that they
will desire with their Lord. that is the reward of Muhsinûn (good-doers - see
V.2:112).
35. so that Allâh may remit from
them the evil of what they did and give them the Reward, according to the best
of what they used to do.
36. is not Allâh Sufficient for his
slave? yet they try to frighten You with those (whom they worship) besides him!
and whom Allâh sends astray, for Him there will be no guide.
37. and whomsoever Allâh guides,
for Him there will be no misleader. is not Allâh All-Mighty, Possessor of
Retribution?
38. and Verily, if You ask them:
"Who created the heavens and the earth?" surely, they will say:
"Allâh (has created them)." say: "Tell Me then, the things that
You invoke besides Allâh, if Allâh intended some harm for Me, could they remove
his harm, or if He (Allâh) intended some Mercy for Me, could they withhold his
Mercy?" Say : "Sufficient for Me is Allâh; In Him those who trust
(i.e. believers) must put their trust."
39. say: (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam) "O My people! work according to Your way, I am working
(according to My way). Then You will come to know,
40. "To whom comes a
disgracing torment, and on whom descends an everlasting torment."
41. Verily, we have sent down to
You (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) the Book (this Qur'ân) for
mankind In truth. so Whosoever accepts the guidance, it is Only for his
ownself, and Whosoever goes astray, He goes astray Only for his (own) loss. and
You (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) are not a Wakîl (trustee or
Disposer of affairs, or keeper) over them.
42. it is Allâh who takes away the
souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He
keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a
term appointed. Verily, In This are signs for a people who think deeply.
43. have they taken others as
intercessors besides Allâh? say: "Even if they have power over nothing
whatever and have no intelligence?"
44. say: "To Allâh belongs All
intercession. his is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, Then to Him
You shall be brought back."
45. and when Allâh alone is
mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not In the Hereafter are filled with
disgust (from the Oneness of Allâh () and when those (whom they obey or
worship) besides Him [like All false deities other than Allâh, it may be a
Messenger like 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), an angel, a
pious man, a jinn, or any other creature even idols, graves of religious
people, saints, priests, monks, etc.] are mentioned, behold, they rejoice!
46. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "O Allâh! Creator of the heavens and the earth!
All-Knower of the Ghaib (unseen) and the seen. You will judge between Your
slaves about that wherein they used to differ."
47. and those who did wrong (the
polytheists and disbelievers In the Oneness of Allâh), if they had All that is
In earth and therewith as much again, they Verily, would offer it to ransom
themselves therewith on the Day of Resurrection from the evil torment, and
there will become apparent to them from Allâh, what they had not been
reckoning.
48. and the evils of that which
they earned will become apparent to them, and they will be encircled by that
which they used to mock at!
49. when harm touches man, He calls
to us (for help), Then when we have (rescued Him from that harm and) changed it
into a Favour from us, He says: "Only because of knowledge (that I
possess) I obtained it." Nay, it is Only a trial, but Most of them know
not!
50. Verily, those before them said
it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not.
51. So, the evil results of that
which they earned overtook them. and those who did wrong of These [people to
whom You (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) have been sent], will also be
overtaken by the evil results (torment) for that which they earned, and they
will never be Able to escape.
52. do they not know that Allâh
enlarges the provision for whom He wills, and straitens it (for whom He wills).
Verily, In This are signs for the folk who believe!
53. say: "O 'Ibâdî (My slaves)
who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)!
Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, Verily Allâh forgives All sins. Truly, He is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
54. "And turn In repentance
and In obedience with true faith (Islâmic Monotheism) to Your Lord and submit
to him, (in Islâm), before the torment comes upon you, Then You will not be
helped.
55. "And follow the best of
that which is sent down to You from Your Lord (i.e. This Qur'ân, do what it
orders You to do and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes
on You suddenly while You perceive not!"
56. lest a person should say:
"Alas, My grief that I was undutiful to Allâh (i.e. I have not done what
Allâh has ordered Me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked [at the
truth! i.e. Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the Right to be worshipped but Allâh),
the Qur'ân, and Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam and at the faithful
believers, etc.]
57. or (lest) He should say:
"If Only Allâh had guided Me, I should indeed have been among the Muttaqûn
(pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2)."
58. or (lest) He should Say when He
sees the torment: "If Only I had another chance (to return to the world)
Then I should indeed be among the Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112)."
59. Yes! Verily, there came to You
My Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and You
denied them, and were proud and were among the disbelievers.
60. and on the Day of Resurrection
You will see those who lied against Allâh (i.e. attributed to Him sons,
partners, etc.) their faces will be black. is there not In Hell an abode for
the arrogant ones?
61. and Allâh will deliver those
who are the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2) to their places of success (Paradise).
evil shall touch them not, nor shall they grieve.
62. Allâh is the Creator of All
things, and He is the Wakîl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian, etc.) over
All things.
63. to Him belong the keys of the
heavens and the earth. and those who disbelieve In the Ayât (proofs, evidences,
verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, such are they who will be the
losers.
64. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam to the polytheists, etc.): "Do You order Me to Worship
other than Allâh O You fools ?"
65. and indeed it has been revealed
to You (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam), as it was to those (Allâh's
Messengers) before you: "If You join others In Worship with Allâh, (Then)
surely (all) Your deeds will be In vain, and You will certainly be among the
losers."
66. Nay! but Worship Allâh (Alone
and none else), and be among the grateful.
67. they made not a just estimate
of Allâh such as is due to Him. and on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the
earth will be grasped by his Hand and the heavens will be rolled up In his
Right hand. glorified is he, and High is He above All that they associate as
partners with him!
68. and the trumpet will be blown,
and All who are In the heavens and All who are on the earth will swoon away,
except Him whom Allâh will. Then it will blown a second time and behold, they
will be standing, looking on (waiting).
69. and the earth will shine with
the light of its Lord (Allâh, when He will come to judge among men) and the
Book will be placed (open) and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought
forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be
wronged.
70. and each person will be paid In
full of what He did; and He is best Aware of what they do.
71. and those who disbelieved will
be driven to Hell In groups, till, when they reach it, the gates thereof will
be opened (suddenly like a prison at the arrival of the prisoners). and its
keepers will say, "Did not the Messengers come to You from yourselves,
reciting to You the Verses of Your Lord, and warning You of the Meeting of This
Day of yours?" they will say: "Yes, but the word of torment has been
justified against the disbelievers!"
72. it will be said (to them):
"Enter You the gates of Hell, to abide therein. and (indeed) what an evil
abode of the arrogant!"
73. and those who kept their duty
to their Lord will be led to Paradise In groups, till, when they reach it, and
its gates will be opened (before their arrival for their reception) and its
keepers will say: Salâmun 'Alaikum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so
enter here to abide therein."
74. and they will say: "All
the praises and thanks be to Allâh who has fulfilled his Promise to us and has
made us inherit (this) land. we can Dwell In Paradise where we will; How
excellent a reward for the (pious good) workers!"
75. and You will see the angels
surrounding the Throne (of Allâh) from All round, glorifying the praises of
their Lord (Allâh). and they (all the creatures) will be judged with truth, and
it will be said. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn
(mankind, jinns and All that exists)."
