English - Chapter 25 - Al-Furqan

Blessed is He Who sent down on His servant the distinction (between right and wrong), that he may be a warner for the worlds

He, Whose is the kingdom of the skies and the earth. And He has not taken (anyone as) a son, and He has no partner in the kingdom. And He created everything then programmed for it a programme

And they have taken gods besides Him who do not create anything while they themselves are created, and they do not control (even) for themselves any harm or profit nor do they control death nor life, nor (do they have the power of) raising the dead (to life)

And those who do not believe say, "This is nothing but a lie which he has forged and other people have helped him at it." Thus they have come up with injustice and falsehood

And they say, "Stories of the ancient, which he has got written down as they are dictated to him morning and evening

Say, "He Who knows the secrets of the skies and the earth has sent it down. He is certainly Protectively Forgiving, Merciful

And they say, "What is (wrong with) this messenger, he eats food and walks in the markets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him so that he could be a warner along with him

Or (why has not) a treasure been thrown down to him or (why is there no) garden for him from which he could eat?" And those who are unjust say, "You follow none but a man under the influence of magic

See how they set forth similitude’s for you. Thus they have gone astray, therefore they will not be able to find the way

Blessed is He, Who, if He wills, can make for you (something) better than that: Gardens beneath which rivers flow, and make for you palaces

No, they deny the hour of doom, and We have prepared a blazing fire for him who denies the hour of doom

When it sees them from a far off place, they will hear its fury and the sound of blazing fire

And when they are thrown into a narrow place thereof, linked together, there they will pray for destruction

(It will be said), "This day do not pray for a single destruction but pray for many destructions

Say, "Is that better or the garden (meant) for staying, which is promised to those who guard (against evil)?" It is a reward for them as well as a destination

They will stay (and) have therein, what they will for. It is a promise of your Lord which should be asked for

And the day He will gather them and (all) that they served (worshipped) besides God, then He will say, "Was it you who misled these servants of Mine or they themselves went astray from the way

They will say, "Glory be to you! it was not for us to accept those turning to us, besides You, but You made them and their fathers enjoy to the extent that they forgot the reminder and (thus) became a lost people

(It will be said), "So they have denied you regarding that which you say," then you will neither be able to turn away (the punishment) nor (will you get any) help, and whoever among you is unjust, We will make him taste a great punishment

And We had not sent any messengers before you, but they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you (bear with) patience? And your Lord is Seeing. (R 2, P)

And those who do not hope to meet Us say, "Why have not angels been sent down on us or (why) do we not see our Lord?" They are indeed proud of themselves and they revolted with a great revolt

The day they will see the angels, on that day it will not be a good news for the criminals, and they will say, "(May we be) prevented (from that through some) prevention

And We will turn to the work which they did, then We will make it as scattered dust

On that day the place/time of stay of the inhabitants of the garden will be good, and their resting place the best

And on that day the sky will be split with the clouds (coverings) and the angels will be sent down, descending

The kingdom on that day, as a right, will be of the Beneficent (God), and the day will be difficult for the disbelievers

And on that day the unjust will bite his hands saying, "I wish I had taken a way with the messenger

O sorrowful is my state, I wish I had not taken such a one as a friend

he has misled me from the reminder after it had come to me, and the devil is a traitor for man

And the messenger says, "O my Lord ! my people have certainly taken this Quran as a forsaken thing

And thus did We make for every prophet, an enemy from among the criminals, and your Lord is sufficient as a Guide and a Helper

And those who do not believe say, "Why has not the whole Quran been sent down on him all at once?" Thus (We have not sent it down all at once) that We may make your heart firm through it, and (therefore) We have caused the Quran to be recited to you gradually (in portions, after) intervals

And they do not come to you with any similitude (question or problem) but We give you the correct (answer) with the best explanation

Those who will be gathered towards hell on their faces, those will be in an evil place and away from the way

And We gave the book to Moses and We made his brother Aaron responsible with him

Then We said, "Both of you go to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them (with a total) destruction

And the people of Noah, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and We made them a sign for mankind. And We have prepared for those who are unjust, a painful punishment

and (also for) Aad and Thamud and the inhabitants of the Rass and many generations between them

And for everyone We had set forth examples and everyone We destroyed (with a total) destruction

And indeed they have passed by the town on which was rained an evil rain, did they not then see it? No, they do not hope to be raised (after death)

And when they see you, they do not take you for anything but mockery (saying), "Is this the one whom God has raised as a messenger

He would have almost misled us from our gods had we not patiently adhered to them. And they will know when they" see the punishment, who is more astray from the way

Have you seen him who takes his desire (as) his god, (he who follows only his desire and nothing else)? Then will you be a trustee over him

Or do you think that the majority of them hears or understands? They are nothing but like cattle, no, they are more astray from the way

Did you not consider (the work of) your Lord, how He stretches the shade (which ultimately ends in night)? And had He willed he could have made it stationary. Then We have made the sun its guide

Then We draw it towards Ourselves, an easy in drawing

And He it is Who has made the night a covering for you and the sleep a (source of) rest and He has made the day for rising up again

And He it is Who sends the winds (giving) good news before His mercy, and We send down from the sky clean water

that We may give life through it to a dead land and We make many cattle and human beings, whom We created, to drink it

And We have repeated it among them that they may be mindful, but the majority of mankind refuses (everything) except disbelief

And had We willed We would have raised a warner in every town

So do not obey the disbelievers and strive against them with it ( the Quran), a great striving

And He it is Who has let free the two seas, one that quenches thirst, sweet; and the other saltish, bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and prevented (them from getting mixed up, by a) prevention

And He it is Who created man from water and has appointed for him blood relationships and marriage relationships and your Lord is Powerful

And they serve (worship) besides God that which neither profits them nor harms them. And the disbeliever is one who helps against his Lord

And We have not sent you except as a conveyer of good news and as a warner

And put your trust in the Living Who does not die and glorify (Him) by praising Him, and He is sufficient as One informed of the sins of His servants

(He it is) Who created the skies and the earth and that which is between these two in six days (periods) then He set the balance on the throne (of the universe), the Beneficent (God), so ask one who is informed about Him

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate before the Beneficent (God)," they say, "And what is the Beneficent? Shall we prostrate before anything you enjoin on us?" And it increases their hatred

Blessed is He Who has made galaxies in the sky and made in it (the sun as) a lamp, and a radiant moon (reflecting sun light)

And He it is Who has made the night and the day succeeding (each other) for one who intends to be mindful or intends to be grateful

And the servants of the Beneficent (God) are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them they say, "Peace

And those who spend the night prostrating and standing before their Lord

And those who say, "Our Lord! turn away from us the punishment of hell." Its punishment is certainly a lasting difficulty

It is certainly an evil dwelling place/time for staying

And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly and their (spending) is established between these (two limits)

And those who do not pray to another (presumed) god along with God, and do not kill any person whose (killing) God has forbidden except in (the cause) of truth, and they do not commit adultery and whoever does that, he will meet (the punishment of his) sin

The punishment will be doubled for him on the day of resurrection and he will stay therein, disgraced

except he who repented and believed and did righteous work, then for them God will change their evil deeds to good deeds, and God is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful

And he who repents and does righteous work, then he is certainly the one who turns to God in (true) repentance

And those who do not witness falsehood, and when they pass by that which is vain, they pass by honourably

And those who, when they are reminded through the signs of their Lord, do not fall down thereat (as if) deaf and blind

And those who say, "Our Lord! grant to us through our wives and descendants comfort of the eyes and make us leaders of those who guard (against evil)

Those will be rewarded with high places, because they were patient, and they will be met therein with greetings and peace

They will stay therein, excellent will be the dwelling place/ time for staying

Say, "My Lord does not (even) care for you all if you do not pray (to Him), and you have denied so (the consequence of) it will be inevitable." (R 6, P 18 ¼)
