YUSUFALI: Do they
not reflect in their own minds? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed,
did Allah create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there
truly many among men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)!

meeting with their Lord.

themselves: Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between

YUSUFALI: Do they
not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them?
They were superior to them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in
greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their messengers with
Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah
Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls.

nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger

Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves.

was the end of those before them? They were stronger than these in prowess, and
dug up the earth, and built on it in greater abundance than these have built on

beseeming for Allah that He should deal with them unjustly, but they dealt
unjustly with their own souls.

YUSUFALI: He does
propound to you a similitude from your own (experience): do ye have partners
among those whom your right hands possess, to share as equals in the wealth We
have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each other? Thus do we explain
the Signs in detail to a people that understand.
PICKTHAL:
He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves. Have ye, from among those whom
your right hands possess, partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you,
equal with you in respect thereof, so that ye fear them as ye fear each other
(that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which We created)? Thus We display
the revelations for people who have sense.
SHAKIR: He sets
forth to you a parable relating to yourselves: Have you among those whom your
right hands possess partners in what We have given you for sustenance, so that
with respect to it you are alike; you fear them as you fear each other? Thus do
We make the communications distinct for a people who understand.
030.029
YUSUFALI: Nay, the
wrong-doers (merely) follow their own lusts, being devoid of knowledge. But who
will guide those whom Allah leaves astray? To them there will be no helpers.

lusts without knowledge. Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray?
For such there are no helpers.

unjust follow their low desires without any knowledge; so who can guide him whom
Allah makes err? And they shall have no helpers.
030.030
YUSUFALI: So set
thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) Allah's handiwork
according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be)
in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among
mankind understand not.
PICKTHAL: So set thy purpose (O
Muhammad) for religion as a man by nature upright - the nature (framed) of
Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's
creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not -
SHAKIR: Then set your face upright for religion in the
right state-- the nature made by Allah in which He has made men; there is no
altering of Allah's creation; that is the right religion, but most people do not
know--
030.031
YUSUFALI: Turn ye
back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not
ye among those who join gods with Allah,-

unto Him (only); and be careful of your duty unto Him and establish worship, and

SHAKIR:
Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him and keep up prayer and be
not of the polytheists

trouble touches men, they cry to their Lord, turning back to Him in repentance:
but when He gives them a taste of Mercy as from Himself, behold, some of them
pay part-worship to other god's besides their Lord,-
PICKTHAL: And when harm toucheth men they cry unto their
Lord, turning to Him in repentance; then, when they have tasted of His mercy,
behold! some of them attribute partners to their Lord
SHAKIR: And when harm afflicts men, they call upon their
Lord, turning to Him, then when He makes them taste of mercy from Him, lo! some
of them begin to associate (others) with their Lord,
030.034
YUSUFALI: (As if)
to show their ingratitude for the (favours) We have bestowed on them! Then enjoy
(your brief day); but soon will ye know (your folly).
PICKTHAL: So as to disbelieve in that which We have given
them. (Unto such it is said): Enjoy yourselves awhile, but ye will come to know.
SHAKIR: So as to be ungrateful for what We have given them;
but enjoy yourselves (for a while), for you shall soon come to know.
030.035
YUSUFALI: Or have
We sent down authority to them, which points out to them the things to which
they pay part-worship?
PICKTHAL: Or have We revealed unto
them any warrant which speaketh of that which they associate with Him?
SHAKIR: Or, have We sent down upon them an authority so
that it speaks of that which they associate with Him?
030.036
YUSUFALI: When We
give men a taste of Mercy, they exult thereat: and when some evil afflicts them
because of what their (own) hands have sent forth, behold, they are in despair!
PICKTHAL: And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy they
rejoice therein; but if an evil thing befall them as the consequence of their
own deeds, lo! they are in despair!
SHAKIR: And when We
make people taste of mercy they rejoice in it, and if an evil befall them for
what their hands have already wrought, lo! they are in despair.
030.037
YUSUFALI: See they
not that Allah enlarges the provision and restricts it, to whomsoever He
pleases? Verily in that are Signs for those who believe.
PICKTHAL: See they not that Allah enlargeth the provision
for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! herein indeed are
portents for folk who believe.
SHAKIR: Do they not see that
Allah makes ample provision for whom He pleases, or straitens? Most surely there
are signs in this for a people who believe.
030.038
YUSUFALI: So give
what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who
seek the Countenance, of Allah, and it is they who will prosper.
PICKTHAL: So give to the kinsman his due, and to the needy,
and to the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah's Countenance. And
such are they who are successful.
SHAKIR: Then give to the
near of kin his due, and to the needy and the wayfarer; this is best for those
who desire Allah's pleasure, and these it is who are successful.
030.039
YUSUFALI: That
which ye lay out for increase through the property of (other) people, will have
no increase with Allah: but that which ye lay out for charity, seeking the
Countenance of Allah, (will increase): it is these who will get a recompense
multiplied.
PICKTHAL: That which ye give in usury in order
that it may increase on (other) people's property hath no increase with Allah;
but that which ye give in charity, seeking Allah's Countenance, hath increase
manifold.
SHAKIR: And whatever you lay out as usury, so
that it may increase in the property of men, it shall not increase with Allah;
and whatever you give in charity, desiring Allah's pleasure-- it is these
(persons) that shall get manifold.
030.040
YUSUFALI: It is
Allah Who has created you: further, He has provided for your sustenance; then He
will cause you to die; and again He will give you life. Are there any of your
(false) "Partners" who can do any single one of these things? Glory to Him! and
high is He above the partners they attribute (to him)!
PICKTHAL: Allah is He Who created you and then sustained
you, then causeth you to die, then giveth life to you again. Is there any of
your (so-called) partners (of Allah) that doeth aught of that? Praised and
Exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)!
SHAKIR:
Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance, then He causes you to
die, then brings you to life. Is there any of your associate-gods who does aught
of it? Glory be to Him, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).
030.041
YUSUFALI: Mischief
has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have
earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that
they may turn back (from Evil).
PICKTHAL: Corruption doth
appear on land and sea because of (the evil) which men's hands have done, that
He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they
may return.
SHAKIR: Corruption has appeared in the land and
the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them
taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return.
030.042
YUSUFALI: Say:
"Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you): Most
of them worshipped others besides Allah."
PICKTHAL: Say (O
Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the nature of the
consequence for those who were before you! Most of them were idolaters.
SHAKIR: Say: Travel in the land, then see how was the end
of those before; most of them were polytheists.
030.043
YUSUFALI: But set
thou thy face to the right Religion before there come from Allah the Day which
there is no chance of averting: on that Day shall men be divided (in two).
PICKTHAL: So set thy purpose resolutely for the right
religion, before the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day mankind will
be sundered-
SHAKIR: Then turn thy face straight to the
right religion before there come from Allah the day which cannot be averted; on
that day they shall become separated.
030.044
YUSUFALI: Those who
reject Faith will suffer from that rejection: and those who work righteousness
will spread their couch (of repose) for themselves (in heaven):
PICKTHAL: Whoso disbelieveth must (then) bear the
consequences of his disbelief, while those who do right make provision for
themselves -
SHAKIR: Whoever disbelieves, he shall be
responsible for his disbelief, and whoever does good, they prepare (good) for
their own souls,
030.045
YUSUFALI: That He
may reward those who believe and work righteous deeds, out of his Bounty. For He
loves not those who reject Faith.
PICKTHAL: That He may
reward out of His bounty those who believe and do good works. Lo! He loveth not
the disbelievers (in His guidance).
SHAKIR: That He may
reward those who believe and do good out of His grace; surely He does not love
the unbelievers.
030.046
YUSUFALI: Among His
Signs is this, that He sends the Winds, as heralds of Glad Tidings, giving you a
taste of His (Grace and) Mercy,- that the ships may sail (majestically) by His
Command and that ye may seek of His Bounty: in order that ye may be grateful.
PICKTHAL: And of His signs is this: He sendeth herald winds
to make you taste His mercy, and that the ships may sail at His command, and
that ye may seek his favour, and that haply ye may be thankful.
SHAKIR: And one of His signs is that He sends forth the
winds bearing good news, and that He may make your taste of His mercy, and that
the ships may run by His command, and that you may seek of His grace, and that
you may be grateful.
030.047
YUSUFALI: We did
indeed send, before thee, messengers to their (respective) peoples, and they
came to them with Clear Signs: then, to those who transgressed, We meted out
Retribution: and it was due from Us to aid those who believed.
PICKTHAL: Verily We sent before thee (Muhammad) messengers
to their own folk. Then we took vengeance upon those who were guilty (in regard
to them). To help believers is ever incumbent upon Us.
SHAKIR: And certainly We sent before you messengers to
their people, so they came to them with clear arguments, then We gave the
punishment to those who were guilty; and helping the believers is ever incumbent
on Us.
030.048
YUSUFALI: It is
Allah Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does He spread them
in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments, until thou seest
rain-drops issue from the midst thereof: then when He has made them reach such
of his servants as He wills behold, they do rejoice!-
PICKTHAL: Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they
raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and causeth them
to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He
maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice;
SHAKIR: Allah is he Who sends forth the winds so they raise
a cloud, then He spreads it forth in the sky as He pleases, and He breaks it up
so that you see the rain coming forth from inside it; then when He causes it to
fall upon whom He pleases of His servants, lo! they are joyful
030.049
YUSUFALI: Even
though, before they received (the rain) - just before this - they were dumb with
despair!
PICKTHAL: Though before that, even before it was
sent down upon them, they were in despair.
SHAKIR: Though
they were before this, before it was sent down upon them, confounded in sure
despair.
030.050
YUSUFALI: Then
contemplate (O man!) the memorials of Allah's Mercy!- how He gives life to the
earth after its death: verily the same will give life to the men who are dead:
for He has power over all things.
PICKTHAL: Look,
therefore, at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation): how He quickeneth the
earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is
Able to do all things.
SHAKIR: Look then at the signs of
Allah's mercy, how He gives life to the earth after its death, most surely He
will raise the dead to life; and He has power over all things.
030.051
YUSUFALI: And if We
(but) send a Wind from which they see (their tilth) turn yellow,- behold, they
become, thereafter, Ungrateful (Unbelievers)!
PICKTHAL: And
if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow, they verily would still continue in
their disbelief.
SHAKIR: And if We send a wind and they see
it to be yellow, they would after that certainly continue to disbelieve
030.052
YUSUFALI: So verily
thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the
call, when they show their backs and turn away.
PICKTHAL:
For verily thou (Muhammad) canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make
the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee.
SHAKIR: For surely you cannot, make the dead to hear and
you cannot make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn back and
030.053
YUSUFALI: Nor canst
thou lead back the blind from their straying: only those wilt thou make to hear,
who believe in Our signs and submit (their wills in Islam).
PICKTHAL: Nor canst thou guide the blind out of their
error. Thou canst make none to hear save those who believe in Our revelations so
that they surrender (unto Him).
SHAKIR: Nor can you lead
away the blind out of their error. You cannot make to hear any but those who
believe in Our communications so they shall submit.
030.054
YUSUFALI: It is
Allah Who created you in a state of (helpless) weakness, then gave (you)
strength after weakness, then, after strength, gave (you weakness and a hoary
head: He creates as He wills, and it is He Who has all knowledge and power.
PICKTHAL: Allah is He Who shaped you out of weakness, then
appointed after weakness strength, then, after strength, appointed weakness and
grey hair. He createth what He will. He is the Knower, the Mighty.
SHAKIR: Allah is He Who created you from a state of
weakness then He gave strength after weakness, then ordained weakness and hoary
hair after strength; He creates what He pleases, and He is the Knowing, the
Powerful.
030.055
YUSUFALI: On the
Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established, the transgressors will
swear that they tarried not but an hour: thus were they used to being deluded!
PICKTHAL: And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty
will vow that they did tarry but an hour - thus were they ever deceived.
SHAKIR: And at the time when the hour shall come, the
guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour; thus are they ever
turned away.
030.056
YUSUFALI: But those
endued with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's
Decree, to the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye
- ye were not aware!"
PICKTHAL: But those to whom knowledge
and faith are given will say: The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree,
until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not
to know.
SHAKIR: And those who are given knowledge and
faith will say: Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah till
the day of resurrection, so this is the day of resurrection, but you did not
know.
030.057
YUSUFALI: So on
that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors, nor will they be

YUSUFALI: verily We
have propounded for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable: But if thou bring

SHAKIR: And certainly We have set forth for men every kind
of example in this Quran; and if you should bring them a communication, those
who disbelieve would certainly say: You are naught but false claimants.

patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true: nor let those

SHAKIR: Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah
is true and let not those who have no certainty hold you in light estimation.
