Sura 41: Foselat:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
[Shakir 41:1] Ha Mim!
[Yusufali 41:1] Ha Mim:
[Pickthal 41:1] Ha. Mim.
[Shakir 41:2] A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful Allah:
[Yusufali 41:2] A Revelation from (Allah), Most Gracious, Most Merciful;-
[Pickthal 41:2] A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful,
[Shakir 41:3] A Book of which the verses are made plain, an Arabic Quran for a
people who know:
[Yusufali 41:3] A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail;- a Qur'an in
Arabic, for people who understand;-
[Pickthal 41:3] A Scripture whereof the verses are expounded, a Lecture in
Arabic for people who have knowledge,
[Shakir 41:4] A herald of good news and a warner, but most of them turn aside so
they hear not.
[Yusufali 41:4] Giving good news and admonition: yet most of them turn away, and
so they hear not.
[Pickthal 41:4] Good tidings and a warning. But most of them turn away so that
they hear not.
[Shakir 41:5] And they say: Our hearts are under coverings from that to which
you call us, and there is a heaviness in our ears, and a veil hangs between us
and you, so work, we too are working.
[Yusufali 41:5] They say: "Our hearts are under veils, (concealed) from
that to which thou dost invite us, and in our ears in a deafness, and between us
and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt); for us, we shall do (what we
will!)"
[Pickthal 41:5] And they say: Our hearts are protected from that unto which thou
(O Muhammad) callest us, and in our ears there is a deafness, and between us and
thee there is a veil. Act, then. Lo! we also shall be acting.
[Shakir 41:6] Say: I am only a mortal like you; it is revealed to me that your
Allah is one Allah, therefore follow the right way to Him and ask His
forgiveness; and woe to the polytheists;
[Yusufali 41:6] Say thou: "I am but a man like you: It is revealed to me by
Inspiration, that your Allah is one Allah: so stand true to Him, and ask for His
Forgiveness." And woe to those who join gods with Allah,-
[Pickthal 41:6] Say (unto them O Muhammad): I am only a mortal like you. It is
inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah, therefor take the straight path
unto Him and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe unto the idolaters,
[Shakir 41:7] (To) those who do not give poor-rate and they are unbelievers in
the hereafter.
[Yusufali 41:7] Those who practise not regular Charity, and who even deny the
Hereafter.
[Pickthal 41:7] Who give not the poor-due, and who are disbelievers in the
Hereafter.
[Shakir 41:8] (As for) those who believe and do good, they shall surely have a
reward never to be cut off.
[Yusufali 41:8] For those who believe and work deeds of righteousness is a
reward that will never fail.
[Pickthal 41:8] Lo! as for those who believe and do good works, for them is a
reward enduring.
[Shakir 41:9] Say: What! do you indeed disbelieve in Him Who created the earth
in two periods, and do you set up equals with Him? That is the Lord of the
Worlds.
[Yusufali 41:9] Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days?
And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds.
[Pickthal 41:9] Say (O Muhammad, unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in
Him Who created the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He (and
none else) is the Lord of the Worlds.
[Shakir 41:10] And He made in it mountains above its surface, and He blessed
therein and made therein its foods, in four periods: alike for the seekers.
[Yusufali 41:10] He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it,
and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them
nourishment in due proportion, in four Days, in accordance with (the needs of)
those who seek (Sustenance).
[Pickthal 41:10] He placed therein firm hills rising above it, and blessed it
and measured therein its sustenance in four Days, alike for (all) who ask;
[Shakir 41:11] Then He directed Himself to the heaven and it is a vapor, so He
said to it and to the earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both
said: We come willingly.
[Yusufali 41:11] Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been
(as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or
unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing
obedience."
[Pickthal 41:11] Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto
it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come,
obedient.
[Shakir 41:12] So He ordained them seven heavens in two periods, and revealed in
every heaven its affair; and We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant stars
and (made it) to guard; that is the decree of the Mighty, the Knowing.
[Yusufali 41:12] So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He
assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven
with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the
Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.
[Pickthal 41:12] Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days and inspired in
each heaven its mandate; and We decked the nether heaven with lamps, and
rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Knower.
[Shakir 41:13] But if they turn aside, then say: I have warned you of a scourge
like the scourge of Ad and Samood.
[Yusufali 41:13] But if they turn away, say thou: "I have warned you of a
stunning Punishment (as of thunder and lightning) like that which (overtook) the
'Ad and the Thamud!"
[Pickthal 41:13] But if they turn away, then say: I warn you of a thunderbolt
like the thunderbolt (which fell of old upon the tribes) of A'ad and Thamud;
[Shakir 41:14] When their messengers came to them from before them and from
behind them, saying, Serve nothing but Allah, they said: If our Lord had pleased
He would certainly have sent down angels, so we are surely unbelievers in that
with which you are sent.
[Yusufali 41:14] Behold, the messengers came to them, from before them and
behind them, (preaching): "Serve none but Allah." They said, "If
our Lord had so pleased, He would certainly have sent down angels (to preach).
Now we reject your mission (altogether)."
[Pickthal 41:14] When their messengers came unto them from before them and
behind them, saying: Worship none but Allah! they said: If our Lord had willed,
He surely would have sent down angels (unto us), so lo! we are disbelievers in
that wherewith ye have been sent.
[Shakir 41:15] Then as to Ad, they were unjustly proud in the land, and they
said: Who is mightier in strength than we? Did they not see that Allah Who
created them was mightier than they in strength, and they denied Our
communications?
[Yusufali 41:15] Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all)
truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What!
did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength?
But they continued to reject Our Signs!
[Pickthal 41:15] As for A'ad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and
they said: Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah Who
created them, He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our
revelations.
[Shakir 41:16] So We sent on them a furious wind in unlucky days, that We may
make them taste the chastisement of abasement in this world's life; and
certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is much more abasing, and they shall
not be helped.
[Yusufali 41:16] So We sent against them a furious Wind through days of
disaster, that We might give them a taste of a Penalty of humiliation in this
life; but the Penalty of a Hereafter will be more humiliating still: and they
will find no help.
[Pickthal 41:16] Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days, that
We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world. And
verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful, and they will not be
helped.
[Shakir 41:17] And as to Samood, We showed them the right way, but they chose
error above guidance, so there overtook them the scourge of an abasing
chastisement for what they earned.
[Yusufali 41:17] As to the Thamud, We gave them Guidance, but they preferred
blindness (of heart) to Guidance: so the stunning Punishment of humiliation
seized them, because of what they had earned.
[Pickthal 41:17] And as for Thamud, We gave them guidance, but they preferred
blindness to the guidance, so the bolt of the doom of humiliation overtook them
because of what they used to earn.
[Shakir 41:18] And We delivered those who believed and guarded (against evil).
[Yusufali 41:18] But We delivered those who believed and practised
righteousness.
[Pickthal 41:18] And We delivered those who believed and used to keep their duty
to Allah.
[Shakir 41:19] And on the day that the enemies of Allah shall be brought
together to the fire, then they shall be formed into groups.
[Yusufali 41:19] On the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered together
to the Fire, they will be marched in ranks.
[Pickthal 41:19] And (make mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are
gathered unto the Fire, they are driven on
[Shakir 41:20] Until when they come to it, their ears and their eyes and their
skins shall bear witness against them as to what they did.
[Yusufali 41:20] At length, when they reach the (Fire), their hearing, their
sight, and their skins will bear witness against them, as to (all) their deeds.
[Pickthal 41:20] Till, when they reach it, their ears and their eyes and their
skins testify against them as to what they used to do.
[Shakir 41:21] And they shall say to their skins: Why have you borne witness
against us? They shall say: Allah Who makes everything speak has made us speak,
and He created you at first, and to Him you shall be brought back.
[Yusufali 41:21] They will say to their skins: "Why bear ye witness against
us?" They will say: "Allah hath given us speech,- (He) Who giveth
speech to everything: He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to
return.
[Pickthal 41:21] And they say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us? They
say: Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things, and Who created
you at the first, and unto Whom ye are returned.
[Shakir 41:22] And you did not veil yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and
your skins should bear witness against you, but you thought that Allah did not
know most of what you did.
[Yusufali 41:22] "Ye did not seek to hide yourselves, lest your hearing,
your sight, and your skins should bear witness against you! But ye did think
that Allah knew not many of the things that ye used to do!
[Pickthal 41:22] Ye did not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and
your skins should testify against you, but ye deemed that Allah knew not much of
what ye did.
[Shakir 41:23] And that was your (evil) thought which you entertained about your
Lord that has tumbled you down into perdition, so are you become of the lost
ones.
[Yusufali 41:23] "But this thought of yours which ye did entertain
concerning your Lord, hath brought you to destruction, and (now) have ye become
of those utterly lost!"
[Pickthal 41:23] That, your thought which ye did think about your Lord, hath
ruined you; and ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost.
[Shakir 41:24] Then if they will endure, still the fire is their abode, and if
they ask for goodwill, then are they not of those who shall be granted goodwill.
[Yusufali 41:24] If, then, they have patience, the Fire will be a home for them!
and if they beg to be received into favour, into favour will they not (then) be
received.
[Pickthal 41:24] And though they are resigned, yet the Fire is still their home;
and if they ask for favour, yet they are not of those unto whom favour can be
shown.
[Shakir 41:25] And We have appointed for them comrades so they have made
fair-seeming to them what is before them and what is behind them, and the word
proved true against them-- among the nations of the jinn and the men that have
passed away before them-- that they shall surely be losers.
[Yusufali 41:25] And We have destined for them intimate companions (of like
nature), who made alluring to them what was before them and behind them; and the
sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men, who have passed away,
is proved against them; for they are utterly lost.
[Pickthal 41:25] And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their
present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of
the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo!
they were ever losers.
[Shakir 41:26] And those who disbelieve say: Do not listen to this Quran and
make noise therein, perhaps you may overcome.
[Yusufali 41:26] The Unbelievers say: "Listen not to this Qur'an, but talk
at random in the midst of its (reading), that ye may gain the upper hand!"
[Pickthal 41:26] Those who disbelieve say: Heed not this Qur'an, and drown the
hearing of it; haply ye may conquer.
[Shakir 41:27] Therefore We will most certainly make those who disbelieve taste
a severe punishment, and We will most certainly reward them for the evil deeds
they used to do.
[Yusufali 41:27] But We will certainly give the Unbelievers a taste of a severe
Penalty, and We will requite them for the worst of their deeds.
[Pickthal 41:27] But verily We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste an
awful doom, and verily We shall requite them the worst of what they used to do.
[Shakir 41:28] That is the reward of the enemies of Allah-- the fire; for them
therein shall be the house of long abiding; a reward for their denying Our
communications.
[Yusufali 41:28] Such is the requital of the enemies of Allah,- the Fire:
therein will be for them the Eternal Home: a (fit) requital, for that they were
wont to reject Our Signs.
[Pickthal 41:28] That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is
their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.
[Shakir 41:29] And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! show us those who
led us astray from among the jinn and the men that we may trample them under our
feet so that they may be of the lowest.
[Yusufali 41:29] And the Unbelievers will say: "Our Lord! Show us those,
among Jinns and men, who misled us: We shall crush them beneath our feet, so
that they become the vilest (before all)."
[Pickthal 41:29] And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! Show us those who
beguiled us of the jinn and humankind. We will place them underneath our feet
that they may be among the nethermost.
[Shakir 41:30] (As for) those who say: Our Lord is Allah, then continue in the
right way, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not, nor be grieved, and
receive good news of the garden which you were promised.
[Yusufali 41:30] In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah",
and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from
time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but
receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which ye were promised!
[Pickthal 41:30] Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and afterward are
upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear
good tidings of the paradise which ye are promised.
[Shakir 41:31] We are your guardians in this world's life and in the hereafter,
and you shall have therein what your souls desire and you shall have therein
what you ask for:
[Yusufali 41:31] "We are your protectors in this life and in the Hereafter:
therein shall ye have all that your souls shall desire; therein shall ye have
all that ye ask for!-
[Pickthal 41:31] We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in
the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye
will have (all) for which ye pray.
[Shakir 41:32] A provision from the Forgiving, the Merciful.
[Yusufali 41:32] "A hospitable gift from one Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful!"
[Pickthal 41:32] A gift of welcome from One Forgiving, Merciful.
[Shakir 41:33] And who speaks better than he who calls to Allah while he himself
does good, and says: I am surely of those who submit?
[Yusufali 41:33] Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah,
works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"?
[Pickthal 41:33] And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord
and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto
Him).
[Shakir 41:34] And not alike are the good and the evil. Repel (evil) with what
is best, when lo! he between whom and you was enmity would be as if he were a
warm friend.
[Yusufali 41:34] Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is
better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy
friend and intimate!
[Pickthal 41:34] The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil
deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was
enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.
[Shakir 41:35] And none are made to receive it but those who are patient, and
none are made to receive it but those who have a mighty good fortune.
[Yusufali 41:35] And no one will be granted such goodness except those who
exercise patience and self-restraint,- none but persons of the greatest good
fortune.
[Pickthal 41:35] But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none
is granted it save the owner of great happiness.
[Shakir 41:36] And if an interference of the Shaitan should cause you mischief,
seek refuge in Allah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[Yusufali 41:36] And if (at any time) an incitement to discord is made to thee
by the Evil One, seek refuge in Allah. He is the One Who hears and knows all
things.
[Pickthal 41:36] And if a whisper from the devil reach thee (O Muhammad) then
seek refuge in Allah. Lo! He is the Hearer, the Knower.
[Shakir 41:37] And among His signs are the night and the day and the sun and the
moon; do not prostrate to the sun nor to the moon; and prostrate to Allah Who
created them, if Him it is that you serve.
[Yusufali 41:37] Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the
Moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who
created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve.
[Pickthal 41:37] And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and
the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah Who
created them, if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship.
[Shakir 41:38] But if they are proud, yet those with your Lord glorify Him
during the night and the day, and they are not tired.
[Yusufali 41:38] But is the (Unbelievers) are arrogant, (no matter): for in the
presence of thy Lord are those who celebrate His praises by night and by day.
And they never flag (nor feel themselves above it).
[Pickthal 41:38] But if they are too proud - still those who are with thy Lord
glorify Him night and day, and tire not.
[Shakir 41:39] And among His signs is this, that you see the earth still, but
when We send down on it the water, it stirs and swells: most surely He Who gives
it life is the Giver of life to the dead; surely He has power over all things.
[Yusufali 41:39] And among His Signs in this: thou seest the earth barren and
desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields
increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to
(men) who are dead. For He has power over all things.
[Pickthal 41:39] And of His portents (is this): that thou seest the earth lowly,
but when We send down water thereon it thrilleth and groweth. Lo! He Who
quickeneth it is verily the Quickener of the Dead. Lo! He is Able to do all
things.
[Shakir 41:40] Surely they who deviate from the right way concerning Our
communications are not hidden from Us. What! is he then who is cast into the
fire better, or he who comes safe on the day of resurrection? Do what you like,
surely He sees what you do.
[Yusufali 41:40] Those who pervert the Truth in Our Signs are not hidden from
Us. Which is better?- he that is cast into the Fire, or he that comes safe
through, on the Day of Judgment? Do what ye will: verily He seeth (clearly) all
that ye do.
[Pickthal 41:40] Lo! those who distort Our revelations are not hid from Us. Is
he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who cometh secure on the Day of
Resurrection? Do what ye will. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.
[Shakir 41:41] Surely those who disbelieve in the reminder when it comes to
them, and most surely it is a Mighty Book:
[Yusufali 41:41] Those who reject the Message when it comes to them (are not
hidden from Us). And indeed it is a Book of exalted power.
[Pickthal 41:41] Lo! those who disbelieve in the Reminder when it cometh unto
them (are guilty), for lo! it is an unassailable Scripture.
[Shakir 41:42] Falsehood shall not come to it from before it nor from behind it;
a revelation from the Wise, the Praised One.
[Yusufali 41:42] No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it: It is
sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.
[Pickthal 41:42] Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it.
(It is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise.
[Shakir 41:43] Naught is said to you but what was said indeed to the messengers
before you; surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness and the Lord of painful
retribution.
[Yusufali 41:43] Nothing is said to thee that was not said to the messengers
before thee: that thy lord has at his Command (all) forgiveness as well as a
most Grievous Penalty.
[Pickthal 41:43] Naught is said unto thee (Muhammad) save what was said unto the
messengers before thee. Lo! thy Lord is owner of forgiveness, and owner (also)
of dire punishment.
[Shakir 41:44] And if We had made it a Quran in a foreign tongue, they would
certainly have said: Why have not its communications been made clear? What! a
foreign (tongue) and an Arabian! Say: It is to those who believe a guidance and
a healing; and (as for) those who do not believe, there is a heaviness in their
ears and it is obscure to them; these shall be called to from a far-off place.
[Yusufali 41:44] Had We sent this as a Qur'an (in the language) other than
Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail?
What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It is a
Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there
is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as
it were) being called from a place far distant!"
[Pickthal 41:44] And if We had appointed it a Lecture in a foreign tongue they
would assuredly have said: If only its verses were expounded (so that we might
understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? - Say unto them (O Muhammad):
For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who
disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them.
Such are called to from afar.
[Shakir 41:45] And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, but it has been differed
about, and had not a word already gone forth from your Lord, judgment would
certainly have been given between them; and most surely they are in a
disquieting doubt about it.
[Yusufali 41:45] We certainly gave Moses the Book aforetime: but disputes arose
therein. Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their
differences) would have been settled between them: but they remained in
suspicious disquieting doubt thereon.
[Pickthal 41:45] And We verily gave Moses the Scripture, but there hath been
dispute concerning it; and but for a Word that had already gone forth from thy
Lord, it would ere now have been judged between them; but lo! they are in
hopeless doubt concerning it.
[Shakir 41:46] Whoever does good, it is for his own soul, and whoever does evil,
it is against it; and your Lord is not in the least unjust to the servants.
[Yusufali 41:46] Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever
works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the
least) to His Servants.
[Pickthal 41:46] Whoso doeth right it is for his soul, and whoso doeth wrong it
is against it. And thy Lord is not at all a tyrant to His slaves.
[Shakir 41:47] To Him is referred the knowledge of the hour, and there come not
forth any of the fruits from their coverings, nor does a female bear, nor does
she give birth, but with His knowledge; and on the day when He shall call out to
them, Where are (those whom you called) My associates? They shall say: We
declare to Thee, none of us is a witness.
[Yusufali 41:47] To Him is referred the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment: He
knows all): No date-fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive
(within her womb) nor bring forth the Day that (Allah) will propound to them the
(question), "Where are the partners (ye attributed to Me?" They will
say, "We do assure thee not one of us can bear witness!"
[Pickthal 41:47] Unto Him is referred (all) knowledge of the Hour. And no fruits
burst forth from their sheaths, and no female carrieth or bringeth forth but
with His knowledge. And on the day when He calleth unto them: Where are now My
partners? they will say: We confess unto Thee, not one of us is a witness (for
them).
[Shakir 41:48] And away from them shall go what they called upon before, and
they shall know for certain that there is no escape for them.
[Yusufali 41:48] The (deities) they used to invoke aforetime will leave them in
the lurch, and they will perceive that they have no way of escape.
[Pickthal 41:48] And those to whom they used to cry of old have failed them, and
they perceive they have no place of refuge.
[Shakir 41:49] Man is never tired of praying for good, and if evil touch him,
then he is despairing, hopeless.
[Yusufali 41:49] Man does not weary of asking for good (things), but if ill
touches him, he gives up all hope (and) is lost in despair.
[Pickthal 41:49] Man tireth not of praying for good, and if ill toucheth him,
then he is disheartened, desperate.
[Shakir 41:50] And if We make him taste mercy from Us after distress that has
touched him, he would most certainly say: This is of me, and I do not think the
hour will come to pass, and if I am sent back to my Lord, I shall have with Him
sure good; but We will most certainly inform those who disbelieved of what they
did, and We will most certainly make them taste of hard chastisement.
[Yusufali 41:50] When we give him a taste of some Mercy from Ourselves, after
some adversity has touched him, he is sure to say, "This is due to my
(merit): I think not that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) be established; but
if I am brought back to my Lord, I have (much) good (stored) in His sight!"
But We will show the Unbelievers the truth of all that they did, and We shall
give them the taste of a severe Penalty.
[Pickthal 41:50] And verily, if We cause him to taste mercy after some hurt that
hath touched him, he will say: This is my own; and I deem not that the Hour will
ever rise, and if I am brought back to my Lord, I surely shall be better off
with Him - But We verily shall tell those who disbelieve (all) that they did,
and We verily shall make them taste hard punishment.
[Shakir 41:51] And when We show favor to man, he turns aside and withdraws
himself; and when evil touches him, he makes lengthy supplications.
[Yusufali 41:51] When We bestow favours on man, he turns away, and gets himself
remote on his side (instead of coming to Us); and when evil seizes him, (he
comes) full of prolonged prayer!
[Pickthal 41:51] When We show favour unto man, he withdraweth and turneth aside,
but when ill toucheth him then he aboundeth in prayer.
[Shakir 41:52] Say: Tell me if it is from Allah; then you disbelieve in it, who
is in greater error than he who is in a prolonged opposition?
[Yusufali 41:52] Say: "See ye if the (Revelation) is (really) from Allah,
and yet do ye reject it? Who is more astray than one who is in a schism far
(from any purpose)?"
[Pickthal 41:52] Bethink you: If it is from Allah and ye reject it - Who is
further astray than one who is at open feud (with Allah)?
[Shakir 41:53] We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own
souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not
sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?
[Yusufali 41:53] Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of
the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this
is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?
[Pickthal 41:53] We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within
themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not
thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?
[Shakir 41:54] Now surely they are in doubt as to the meeting of their Lord; now
surely He encompasses all things.
[Yusufali 41:54] Ah indeed! Are they in doubt concerning the Meeting with their
Lord? Ah indeed! It is He that doth encompass all things!
[Pickthal 41:54] How! Are they still in doubt about the meeting with their Lord?
Lo! Is not He surrounding all things?
