Sura 45: Al Jathia:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
[Shakir 45:1] Ha Mim.
[Yusufali 45:1] Ha-Mim.
[Pickthal 45:1] Ha. Mim.
[Shakir 45:2] The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
[Yusufali 45:2] The revelation of the Book is from Allah the Exalted in Power,
Full of Wisdom.
[Pickthal 45:2] The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah, the Mighty, the
Wise.
[Shakir 45:3] Most surely in the heavens and the earth there are signs for the
believers.
[Yusufali 45:3] Verily in the heavens and the earth, are Signs for those who
believe.
[Pickthal 45:3] Lo! in the heavens and the earth are portents for believers.
[Shakir 45:4] And in your (own) creation and in what He spreads abroad of
animals there are signs for a people that are sure;
[Yusufali 45:4] And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are
scattered (through the earth), are Signs for those of assured Faith.
[Pickthal 45:4] And in your creation, and all the beasts that He scattereth in
the earth, are portents for a folk whose faith is sure.
[Shakir 45:5] And (in) the variation of the night and the day, and (in) what
Allah sends down of sustenance from the cloud, then gives life thereby to the
earth after its death, and (in) the changing of the winds, there are signs for a
people who understand.
[Yusufali 45:5] And in the alternation of Night and Day, and the fact that Allah
sends down Sustenance from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its
death, and in the change of the winds,- are Signs for those that are wise.
[Pickthal 45:5] And the difference of night and day and the provision that Allah
sendeth down from the sky and thereby quickeneth the earth after her death, and
the ordering of the winds, are portents for a people who have sense.
[Shakir 45:6] These are the communications of Allah which We recite to you with
truth; then in what announcement would they believe after Allah and His
communications?
[Yusufali 45:6] Such are the Signs of Allah, which We rehearse to thee in Truth;
then in what exposition will they believe after (rejecting) Allah and His Signs?
[Pickthal 45:6] These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee
(Muhammad) with truth. Then in what fact, after Allah and His portents, will
they believe?
[Shakir 45:7] Woe to every sinful liar,
[Yusufali 45:7] Woe to each sinful dealer in Falsehoods:
[Pickthal 45:7] Woe unto each sinful liar,
[Shakir 45:8] Who hears the communications of Allah recited to him, then
persists proudly as though he had not heard them; so announce to him a painful
punishment.
[Yusufali 45:8] He hears the Signs of Allah rehearsed to him, yet is obstinate
and lofty, as if he had not heard them: then announce to him a Penalty Grievous!
[Pickthal 45:8] Who heareth the revelations of Allah recited unto him, and then
continueth in pride as though he heard them not. Give him tidings of a painful
doom.
[Shakir 45:9] And when he comes to know of any of Our communications, he takes
it for a jest; these it is that shall have abasing chastisement.
[Yusufali 45:9] And when he learns something of Our Signs, he takes them in
jest: for such there will be a humiliating Penalty.
[Pickthal 45:9] And when he knoweth aught of Our revelations he maketh it a
jest. For such there is a shameful doom.
[Shakir 45:10] Before them is hell, and there shall not avail them aught of what
they earned, nor those whom they took for guardians besides Allah, and they
shall have a grievous punishment.
[Yusufali 45:10] In front of them is Hell: and of no profit to them is anything
they may have earned, nor any protectors they may have taken to themselves
besides Allah: for them is a tremendous Penalty.
[Pickthal 45:10] Beyond them there is hell, and that which they have earned will
naught avail them, nor those whom they have chosen for protecting friends beside
Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.
[Shakir 45:11] This is guidance; and (as for) those who disbelieve in the
communications of their Lord, they shall have a painful punishment on account of
uncleanness.
[Yusufali 45:11] This is (true) Guidance and for those who reject the Signs of
their Lord, is a grievous Penalty of abomination.
[Pickthal 45:11] This is guidance. And those who disbelieve the revelations of
their Lord, for them there is a painful doom of wrath.
[Shakir 45:12] Allah is He Who made subservient to you the sea that the ships
may run therein by His command, and that you may seek of His grace, and that you
may give thanks.
[Yusufali 45:12] It is Allah Who has subjected the sea to you, that ships may
sail through it by His command, that ye may seek of his Bounty, and that ye may
be grateful.
[Pickthal 45:12] Allah it is Who hath made the sea of service unto you that the
ships may run thereon by His command, and that ye may seek of His bounty, and
that haply ye may be thankful;
[Shakir 45:13] And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself; most surely there are signs
in this for a people who reflect.
[Yusufali 45:13] And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the
heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect.
[Pickthal 45:13] And hath made of service unto you whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is in the earth; it is all from Him. Lo! herein verily are
portents for a people who reflect.
[Shakir 45:14] Say to those who believe (that) they forgive those who do not
fear the days of Allah that He may reward a people for what they earn.
[Yusufali 45:14] Tell those who believe, to forgive those who do not look
forward to the Days of Allah: It is for Him to recompense (for good or ill) each
People according to what they have earned.
[Pickthal 45:14] Tell those who believe to forgive those who hope not for the
days of Allah; in order that He may requite folk what they used to earn.
[Shakir 45:15] Whoever does good, it is for his own soul, and whoever does evil,
it is against himself; then you shall be brought back to your-- Lord.
[Yusufali 45:15] If any one does a righteous deed, it ensures to the benefit of
his own soul; if he does evil, it works against (his own soul). In the end will
ye (all) be brought back to your Lord.
[Pickthal 45:15] Whoso doeth right, it is for his soul, and whoso doeth wrong,
it is against it. And afterward unto your Lord ye will be brought back.
[Shakir 45:16] And certainly We gave the Book and the wisdom and the prophecy to
the children of Israel, and We gave them of the goodly things, and We made them
excel the nations.
[Yusufali 45:16] We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book the
Power of Command, and Prophethood; We gave them, for Sustenance, things good and
pure; and We favoured them above the nations.
[Pickthal 45:16] And verily we gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and the
Command and the Prophethood, and provided them with good things and favoured
them above (all) peoples;
[Shakir 45:17] And We gave them clear arguments in the affair, but they did not
differ until after knowledge had come to them out of envy among themselves;
surely your -Lord will judge between them on the day of resurrection concerning
that wherein they differed.
[Yusufali 45:17] And We granted them Clear Signs in affairs (of Religion): it
was only after knowledge had been granted to them that they fell into schisms,
through insolent envy among themselves. Verily thy Lord will judge between them
on the Day of Judgment as to those matters in which they set up differences.
[Pickthal 45:17] And gave them plain commandments. And they differed not until
after the knowledge came unto them, through rivalry among themselves. Lo! thy
Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein
they used to differ.
[Shakir 45:18] Then We have made you follow a course in the affair, therefore
follow it, and do not follow the low desires of those who do not know.
[Yusufali 45:18] Then We put thee on the (right) Way of Religion: so follow thou
that (Way), and follow not the desires of those who know not.
[Pickthal 45:18] And now have We set thee (O Muhammad) on a clear road of (Our)
commandment; so follow it, and follow not the whims of those who know not.
[Shakir 45:19] Surely they shall not avail you in the least against Allah; and
surely the unjust are friends of each other, and Allah is the guardian of those
who guard (against evil).
[Yusufali 45:19] They will be of no use to thee in the sight of Allah: it is
only Wrong-doers (that stand as) protectors, one to another: but Allah is the
Protector of the Righteous.
[Pickthal 45:19] Lo! they can avail thee naught against Allah. And lo! as for
the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the Friend of
those who ward off (evil).
[Shakir 45:20] These are clear proofs for men, and a guidance and a mercy for a
people who are sure.
[Yusufali 45:20] These are clear evidences to men and a Guidance and Mercy to
those of assured Faith.
[Pickthal 45:20] This is clear indication for mankind, and a guidance and a
mercy for a folk whose faith is sure.
[Shakir 45:21] Nay! do those who have wrought evil deeds think that We will make
them like those who believe and do good-- that their life and their death shall
be equal? Evil it is that they judge.
[Yusufali 45:21] What! Do those who seek after evil ways think that We shall
hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds,- that equal will
be their life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make.
[Pickthal 45:21] Or do those who commit ill-deeds suppose that We shall make
them as those who believe and do good works, the same in life and death? Bad is
their judgment!
[Shakir 45:22] And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth and that
every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned and they shall not be wronged.
[Yusufali 45:22] Allah created the heavens and the earth for just ends, and in
order that each soul may find the recompense of what it has earned, and none of
them be wronged.
[Pickthal 45:22] And Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth,
and that every soul may be repaid what it hath earned. And they will not be
wronged.
[Shakir 45:23] Have you then considered him who takes his low desire for his
god, and Allah has made him err having knowledge and has set a seal upon his ear
and his heart and put a covering upon his eye. Who can then guide him after
Allah? Will you not then be mindful?
[Yusufali 45:23] Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain
desire? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his
hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight. Who,
then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not then
receive admonition?
[Pickthal 45:23] Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah
sendeth him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and
setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (hath
condemned him)? Will ye not then heed?
[Shakir 45:24] And they say: There is nothing but our life in this world; we
live and die and nothing destroys us but time, and they have no knowledge of
that; they only conjecture.
[Yusufali 45:24] And they say: "What is there but our life in this world?
We shall die and we live, and nothing but time can destroy us." But of that
they have no knowledge: they merely conjecture:
[Pickthal 45:24] And they say: There is naught but our life of the world; we die
and we live, and naught destroyeth us save time; when they have no knowledge
whatsoever of (all) that; they do but guess.
[Shakir 45:25] And when Our clear communications are recited to them, their
argument is no other than that they say: Bring our fathers (back) if you are
truthful.
[Yusufali 45:25] And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them their argument
is nothing but this: They say, "Bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye
say is true!"
[Pickthal 45:25] And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their only
argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers. then, if ye are truthful.
[Shakir 45:26] Say: Allah gives you life, then He makes you die, then will He
gather you to the day of resurrection wherein is no doubt, but most people do
not know.
[Yusufali 45:26] Say: "It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you
death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which
there is no doubt": But most men do not understand.
[Pickthal 45:26] Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah giveth life to you, then
causeth you to die, then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection whereof
there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.
[Shakir 45:27] And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and on
the day when the hour shall come to pass, on that day shall they perish who say
false things.
[Yusufali 45:27] To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and
the Day that the Hour of Judgment is established,- that Day will the dealers in
Falsehood perish!
[Pickthal 45:27] And unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the
earth; and on the day when the Hour riseth, on that day those who follow
falsehood will be lost.
[Shakir 45:28] And you shall see every nation kneeling down; every nation shall
be called to its book: today you shall be rewarded for what you did.
[Yusufali 45:28] And thou wilt see every sect bowing the knee: Every sect will
be called to its Record: "This Day shall ye be recompensed for all that ye
did!
[Pickthal 45:28] And thou wilt see each nation crouching, each nation summoned
to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited what ye
used to do.
[Shakir 45:29] This is Our book that speaks against you with justice; surely We
wrote what you did,
[Yusufali 45:29] "This Our Record speaks about you with truth: For We were
wont to put on Record all that ye did."
[Pickthal 45:29] This Our Book pronounceth against you with truth. Lo! We have
caused (all) that ye did to be recorded.
[Shakir 45:30] Then as to those who believed and did good, their Lord will make
them enter into His mercy; that is the manifest achievement.
[Yusufali 45:30] Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds, their
Lord will admit them to His Mercy that will be the achievement for all to see.
[Pickthal 45:30] Then, as for those who believed and did good works, their Lord
will bring them in unto His mercy. That is the evident triumph.
[Shakir 45:31] As to those who disbelieved: What! were not My communications
recited to you? But you were proud and you were a guilty people.
[Yusufali 45:31] But as to those who rejected Allah, (to them will be said):
"Were not Our Signs rehearsed to you? But ye were arrogant, and were a
people given to sin!
[Pickthal 45:31] And as for those who disbelieved (it will be said unto them):
Were not Our revelations recited unto you? But ye were scornful and became a
guilty folk.
[Shakir 45:32] And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah is true and as
for the hour, there is no doubt about it, you said: We do not know what the hour
is; we do not think (that it will come to pass) save a passing thought, and we
are not at all sure.
[Yusufali 45:32] "And when it was said that the promise of Allah was true,
and that the Hour- there was no doubt about its (coming), ye used to say, 'We
know not what is the hour: we only think it is an idea, and we have no firm
assurance.'"
[Pickthal 45:32] And when it was said: Lo! Allah's promise is the truth, and
there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour is.
We deem it naught but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced.
[Shakir 45:33] And the evil (consequences) of what they did shall become
manifest to them and that which they mocked shall encompass them.
[Yusufali 45:33] Then will appear to them the evil (fruits) of what they did,
and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!
[Pickthal 45:33] And the evils of what they did will appear unto them, and that
which they used to deride will befall them.
[Shakir 45:34] And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as you neglected the
meeting of this day of yours and your abode is the fire, and there are not for
you any helpers:
[Yusufali 45:34] It will also be said: "This Day We will forget you as ye
forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! and your abode is the Fire, and no
helpers have ye!
[Pickthal 45:34] And it will be said: This day We forget you, even as ye forgot
the meeting of this your day; and your habitation is the Fire, and there is none
to help you.
[Shakir 45:35] That is because you took the communications of Allah for a jest
and the life of this world deceived you. So on that day they shall not be
brought forth from it, nor shall they be granted goodwill.
[Yusufali 45:35] "This, because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest,
and the life of the world deceived you:" (From) that Day, therefore, they
shall not be taken out thence, nor shall they be received into Grace.
[Pickthal 45:35] This, forasmuch as ye made the revelations of Allah a jest, and
the life of the world beguiled you. Therefor this day they come not forth from
thence, nor can they make amends.
[Shakir 45:36] Therefore to Allah is due (all) praise, the Lord of the heavens
and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the worlds.
[Yusufali 45:36] Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the
earth,- Lord and Cherisher of all the Worlds!
[Pickthal 45:36] Then praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the
earth, the Lord of the Worlds.
[Shakir 45:37] And to Him belongs greatness in the heavens and the earth, and He
is the Mighty, the Wise.
[Yusufali 45:37] To Him be glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is
Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!
[Pickthal 45:37] And unto Him (alone) belongeth Majesty in the heavens and the
earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
