Ayetbul | Kuran Mealleri | Quran | George Sale meali

1

By the day-break,

2

and then nights;

3

by that which is double, and that which is single;

4

and by the night when it cometh on:

5

Is there not in this an oath formed with understanding?

6

Hast thou not considered how thy Lord dealt with Ad,

7

the people of Irem, adorned with lofty buildings,

8

the like whereof hath not been erected in the land;

9

and with Thamud, who hewed the rocks in the valley into houses;

10

and with Pharaoh, the contriver of the stakes:

11

Who had behaved insolently in the earth,

12

and multiplied corruption therein?

13

Wherefore thy Lord poured on them various kinds of chastisement:

14

For thy Lord is surely in a watch-tower, whence He observeth the actions of men.

15

Moreover man, when his Lord trieth him by prosperity, and honoureth him, and is bounteous unto him, saith, my Lord honoureth me:

16

But when He proveth him by afflictions, and withholdeth his provisions from him, he saith, my Lord despiseth me.

17

By no means: But ye honour not the orphan,

18

neither do ye excite one another to feed the poor;

19

and ye devour the inheritance of the weak, with undistinguishing greediness;

20

and ye love riches, with much affection.

21

By no means should ye do thus. When the earth shall be minutely ground to dust;

22

and thy Lord shall come, and the angels rank by rank;

23

and hell, on that day, shall be brought nigh: On that day shall man call to remembrance his evil deeds; but how shall remembrance avail him?

24

He shall say, would to God that I had heretofore done good works in my life-time!

25

On that day none shall punish with his punishment;

26

nor shall any bind with his bonds.

27

O thou soul which art at rest,

28

return unto thy Lord, well pleased with thy reward, and well pleasing unto God:

29

Enter among my servants;

30

and enter my paradise.
