He hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure. 025:002 Rashad The One to whom belongs all sovereignty of the heavens and the earth.

He has created all things with precisely accurate planning. 025:002 Shakir He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who has no associate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, then ordained for it a measure. 025:002 Sherali HE to Whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And HE has taken unto Himself no son, and has no partner in the Kingdom, and HE has created everything, and has determined its proper measure. 025:002 Yusufali He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. 025:003 025:003 Khan Yet they have taken besides Him other aliha (gods) that created nothing but are themselves created, and possess neither hurt nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of raising the dead. 025:003 Maulana And they take besides Him gods who create naught, while they are themselves created, and they control for themselves no harm nor profit, and they control not death, nor life, nor raising to life. 025:003 Pickthal Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead. 025:003 Rashad Yet, they set up beside Him gods who do not create anything - they themselves are created - and who possess no power to even harm or benefit themselves, nor do they possess any power to control life, or death, or resurrection. 025:003 Sarwar Yet they have chosen for themselves other deities besides Him, who do not create anything but rather are themselves created, who have no power over their own benefits, or trouble, and who have no control over life, death, and resurrection. 025:003 Shakir And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life. 025:003 Sherali Yet they have taken beside HIM gods, who create nothing but are themselves created, and who have no power to harm or benefit themselves, nor have they any power over death or life or Resurrection. 025:003 Yusufali Yet have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection. 025:004 025:004 Khan Those who disbelieve say: "This (the Qur'an) is nothing but a lie that he (Muhammad SAW) has invented, and others have helped him at it, so that they have produced an unjust wrong (thing) and a lie." 025:004 Maulana And those who disbelieve say: This is nothing but a lie, which he has forged, and other people have helped him at it. So indeed they have brought an iniquity and a falsehood. 025:004 Pickthal Those who disbelieve say: This is naught but a lie that he hath invented, and other folk have helped him with it, so that they have produced a slander and a lie. 025:004 Rashad Those who disbelieved said, "This is a fabrication that he produced, with the help of some other people." They have uttered a blasphemy and a falsehood. 025:004 Sarwar The unbelievers say, "This (Quran) is no more than a slanderous statement which h,e (Muhammad), with the help of some other people, has falsely invented." Certainly, this statement is unjust and sinful. 025:004 Shakir And those who disbelieve say: This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and other people have helped him at it; so indeed they have done injustice and (uttered) a falsehood. 025:004 Sherali And those who disbelieve say, `It is naught but a lie which he has forged, and other people have helped him with it.' Indeed, they have perpetrated a great injustice and a great falsehood. 025:004 Yusufali But the misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood. 025:005 025:005 Khan And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon." 025:005 Maulana And they say: Stories of the ancients, which he has got written, so they are read out to him morning and evening! 025:005 Pickthal And they say: Fables of the men of old which he hath had written down so that they are dictated to him morn and evening. 025:005 Rashad They also said, "Tales from the past that he wrote down; they were dictated to him day and night." 025:005 Sarwar They have also said, "It ,(the Quran), is only ancient legends, which were written down while they were dictated to him in the mornings and the evenings". 025:005 Shakir And they say: The stories of the ancients-- he has got them written-- so these are read out to him morning and evening. 025:005 Sherali And they say, `These are fables of the ancient; and he has got them written down and they are read out to him morning and evening.' 025:005 Yusufali And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening.” 025:006 025:006 Khan Say: "It (this Qur'an) has been sent down by Him (Allah) (the Real Lord of the heavens and earth) Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." 025:006 Maulana Say: He has revealed it, Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth. Surely He is ever Forgiving, Merciful. 025:006 Pickthal Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He who knoweth the secret of the heavens and the earth hath revealed it. Lo! He ever is Forgiving, Merciful. 025:006 Rashad Say, "This was revealed by the One who knows the Secret in the heavens and the earth. He is Forgiving, Most Merciful." 025:006 Sarwar (Muhammad), tell them, "The One who knows all the secrets of the heavens and the earth has revealed it; He is All-forgiving and All-merciful." 025:006 Shakir Say: He has revealed it Who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth; surely He is ever Forgiving, Merciful. 025:006 Sherali Say, `HE, Who knows every secret of the heavens and the earth, has revealed it. Verily, HE is the Most Forgiving, Merciful.' 025:006 Yusufali Say: "The (Qur'an) was sent down by Him who knows the mystery (that is) in the heavens and the earth: verily He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” 025:007 025:007 Khan And they say: "Why does this Messenger (Muhammad SAW) eat food, and walk about in the markets (like ourselves). Why is not an angel sent down to him to be a warner with him? 025:007 Maulana And they say: What a Messenger is this? He eats food and goes about in the markets. Why has not an angel been sent down to him to be a warner with him? 025:007 Pickthal And they say: What aileth this messenger (of Allah) that he eateth food and walketh in the markets? Why is not an angel sent down unto him, to be a warner with him. 025:007 Rashad And they said, "How come this messenger eats the food and walks in the markets? If only an angel could come down with him, to serve with him as a preacher!" 025:007 Sarwar They say, "Why does this Messenger eat food, and walk in the streets? Why has not an angel been sent to him so that they could preach the message together?. 025:007 Shakir And they say: What is the matter with this Messenger that he eats food and goes about in the markets; why has not an angel been sent down to him, so that he should have been a warner with him? 025:007 Sherali And they say, `What sort of Messenger is this that he eats food, and walks in the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him that he might be a warner with him? 025:007 Yusufali And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him? 025:008 025:008 Khan "Or (why) has not a treasure been granted to him, or why has he not a garden whereof he may eat?" And the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong- doers, etc.) say: "You follow none but a man bewitched." 025:008 Maulana Or a treasure given to him, or a garden from which to eat? And the evildoers say: You follow but a man bewitched! 025:008 Pickthal Or (why is not) treasure thrown down unto him, or why hath he not a paradise from whence to eat? And the evil-doers say: Ye are but following a man bewitched. 025:008 Rashad Or, "If only a treasure could be given to him!" Or, "If only he could possess an orchard from which he eats!" The transgressors also said, "You are following a bewitched man." 025:008 Sarwar Why has a treasure not been laid out for him or a garden from which he could eat been given to him." The unjust ones say, "You are merely following a bewitched person". 025:008 Shakir Or (why is not) a treasure sent down to him, or he is made to have a garden from which he should eat? And the unjust say: You do not follow any but a man deprived of reason. 025:008 Sherali `Or a treasure should have been sent down to him, or he should have had a garden to eat therefrom.' And the wrongdoers say, `You follow but a man bewitched.' 025:008 Yusufali "Or (Why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?" The wicked say: "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched.” 025:009 025:009 Khan See how they coin similitudes for you, so they have gone astray, and they cannot find a (Right) Path. 025:009 Maulana See what parables they set forth for thee -- they have gone astray, so they cannot find a way. 025:009 Pickthal See how they coin similitudes for thee, so that they are all astray and cannot find a road! 025:009 Rashad Note how they called you all kinds of names, and how this led them astray, never to find their way back. 025:009 Sarwar Look at their various views about you! They have gone astray and are not able to find the right path. 025:009 Shakir See what likenesses do they apply to you, so they have gone astray, therefore they shall not be able to find a way. 025:009 Sherali See how they coin similitudes for thee ! Thus they have gone astray and cannot find a way. 025:009 Yusufali See what kinds of comparisons they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find! 025:010 025:010 Section 2: Truth of the Warning 025:010 Khan Blessed be He Who, if He will, will assign you better than (all) that, - Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) and will assign you palaces (i.e. in Paradise). 025:010 Maulana Blessed is He Who if He please, will give thee what is better than this: Gardens wherein flow rivers. And He will give thee palaces. 025:010 Pickthal Blessed is He Who, if He will, will assign thee better than (all) that - Gardens underneath which rivers flow - and will assign thee mansions. 025:010 Rashad Most blessed is the One who can, if He wills, give you much better than their demands - gardens with flowing streams, and many mansions. 025:010 Sarwar Blessed is He who could give you palaces and gardens wherein streams would flow, far better than what they want you to have. 025:010 Shakir Blessed is He Who, if He please, will give you what is better than this, gardens beneath which rivers flow, and He will give you palaces. 025:010 Sherali Blessed is HE Who, if HE please, will assign to thee better than all that - gardens through which streams flow - and will also assign to thee palaces. 025:010 Yusufali Blessed is He who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those,- Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee palaces (secure to dwell in). 025:011 025:011 Khan Nay, they deny the Hour (the Day of Resurrection), and for those who deny the Hour, We have prepared a flaming Fire (i.e. Hell). 025:011 Maulana But they deny the Hour, and We have prepared a burning Fire for him who denies the Hour. 025:011 Pickthal Nay, but they deny (the coming of) the Hour, and for those who deny (the coming of) the Hour We have prepared a flame. 025:011 Rashad In fact, they have disbelieved in the Hour (Day of Resurrection), and we have prepared for those who disbelieve in the Hour a flaming Hell. 025:011 Sarwar They deny the Hour of Doom so We have prepared for them a burning fire. 025:011 Shakir But they reject the hour, and We have prepared a burning fire for him who rejects the hour. 025:011 Sherali Nay, they deny the Hour, and for those who deny the Hour, WE have prepared a blazing fire. 025:011 Yusufali Nay they deny the hour (of the judgment to come): but We have prepared a blazing fire for such as deny the hour: 025:012 025:012 Khan When it (Hell) sees them from a far place, they will hear its raging and its roaring. 025:012 Maulana When it sees them from a far-off place, they will hear its raging and roaring. 025:012 Pickthal When it seeth them from afar, they hear the crackling and the roar thereof. 025:012 Rashad When it sees them from afar, they will hear its rage and fuming. 025:012 Sarwar Even if they were to see (this fire) from a distant place, they would only listen to its raging and roaring. 025:012 Shakir When it shall come into their sight from a distant place, they shall hear its vehement raging and roaring. 025:012 Sherali When it sees them from a place far-off, they will hear its raging and roaring. 025:012 Yusufali When it sees them from a place fAr off, they will hear its fury and its ranging sigh. 025:013 025:013 Khan And when they shall be thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they will exclaim therein for destruction. 025:013 Maulana And when they are cast into a narrow place thereof in chains, they will there pray for destruction. 025:013 Pickthal And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they pray for destruction there. 025:013 Rashad And when they are thrown into it, through a narrow place, all shackled, they will declare their remorse. 025:013 Sarwar When they are thrown, bound, into a narrow place therein, then only will they wish for their death. 025:013 Shakir And when they are cast into a narrow place in it, bound, they shall there call out for destruction. 025:013 Sherali And when they are thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they will pray there for destruction. 025:013 Yusufali And when they are cast, bound together into a constricted place therein, they will pLead for destruction there and then! 025:014 025:014 Khan Exclaim not today for one destruction, but exclaim for many destructions. 025:014 Maulana Pray not this day for destruction once but pray for destruction again and again. 025:014 Pickthal Pray not that day for one destruction, but pray for many destructions! 025:014 Rashad You will not declare just a single remorse, on that day; you will suffer through a great number of remorses. 025:014 Sarwar They will be told, "Do not pray to die only once but pray to die many times." 025:014 Shakir Call not this day for one destruction, but call for destructions many. 025:014 Sherali `Pray not this day for one destruction, but pray for many destructions,' 025:014 Yusufali "This day plead not for a single destruction: plead for destruction oft-repeated!” 025:015 025:015 Khan Say: (O Muhammad SAW) "Is that (torment) better or the Paradise of Eternity promised to the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2)?" It will be theirs as a reward and as a final destination. 025:015 Maulana Say: Is this better or the Garden Perpetuity, which the dutiful are promised? That is a reward and a resort for them. 025:015 Pickthal Say: Is that (doom) better or the Garden of Immortality which is promised unto those who ward off (evil)? It will be their reward and journey's end. 025:015 Rashad Say, "Is this better or the eternal Paradise that is promised for the righteous? It is their well deserved reward; a well deserved destiny." 025:015 Sarwar (Muhammad), ask them, "Is what you want better or the eternal garden promised to the pious ones as their reward and dwelling? 025:015 Shakir Say: Is this better or the abiding garden which those who guard (against evil) are promised? That shall be a reward and a resort for them. 025:015 Sherali Say, `Is that better or the Garden of Eternity, which is promised to the righteous? It will be their reward and ultimate resort.' 025:015 Yusufali Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment). 025:016 025:016 Khan For them there will be therein all that they desire, and they will abide (there forever). It is a promise binding upon your Lord that must be fulfilled. 025:016 Maulana For them therein is what they desire, to abide. It is a promise to be prayed for from thy Lord. 025:016 Pickthal Therein abiding, they have all that they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled. 025:016 Rashad They get anything they wish therein, forever. This is your Lord's irrevocable promise. 025:016 Sarwar Therein they will eternally have whatever they want. This is a binding promise from your Lord." 025:016 Shakir They shall have therein what they desire abiding (in it); it is a promise which it is proper to be prayed for from your Lord. 025:016 Sherali They will have therein whatsoever they desire, abiding therein for ever. It is a promise binding upon thy Lord, and to be always prayed for from HIM. 025:016 Yusufali "For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: A promise to be prayed for from thy Lord.” 025:017 025:017 Khan And on the Day when He will gather them together and that which they worship besides Allah [idols, angels, pious men, saints, 'Iesa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), etc.]. He will say: "Was it you who misled these My slaves or did they (themselves) stray from the (Right) Path?" 025:017 Maulana And on the day when He will gather them, and that which they serve besides Allah, He will say: Was it you who led astray these My servants, or did they themselves stray from the path? 025:017 Pickthal And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they worship instead of Allah and will say: Was it ye who misled these my slaves or did they (themselves) wander from the way? 025:017 Rashad On the day when He summons them, together with the idols they had set up beside GOD, He will say, "Have you misled these servants of Mine, or did they go astray on their own?" 025:017 Sarwar On the day when the unbelievers and whatever they had been worshipping besides God will be resurrected, He will ask the idols, "Did you mislead My servants or did they themselves go astray from the right path?" 025:017 Shakir And on the day when He shall gather them, and whatever they served besides Allah, He shall say: Was it you who led astray these My servants, or did they themselves go astray from the path? 025:017 Sherali On the day when HE will assemble them and those whom they worship instead of ALLAH, HE will ask the latter, `Was it you that led astray these MY servants, or did they themselves stray away from the Path?' 025:017 Yusufali The day He will gather them together as well as those whom they worship besides Allah, He will ask: "Was it ye who let these My servants astray, or did they stray from the Path themselves?” 025:018 025:018 Khan They will say: "Glorified be You! It was not for us to take any Auliya' (Protectors, Helpers, etc.) besides You, but You gave them and their fathers comfort till they forgot the warning, and became a lost people (doomed to total loss). 025:018 Maulana They will say: Glory be to Thee! it was not beseeming for us that we should take for protectors others besides Thee, but Thou didst make them and their fathers to enjoy until they forgot the Reminder, and they became a lost people. 025:018 Pickthal They will say: Be Thou Glorified! it was not for us to choose any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk. 025:018 Rashad They will say, "Be You glorified, it was not right for us to set up any lords beside You. But You allowed them to enjoy, together with their parents. Consequently, they disregarded the message and thus became wicked people." 025:018 Sarwar They will reply, "Lord, You alone deserve all glory! We were not supposed to choose any guardian other than you. Since you have been benevolent to these people and their fathers, they forgot Your guidance and, thus, became subject to perdition." 025:018 Shakir They shall say: Glory be to Thee; it was not beseeming for us that we should take any guardians besides Thee, but Thou didst make them and their fathers to enjoy until they forsook the reminder, and they were a people in perdition, 025:018 Sherali They will say, `Holy art Thou ! It was not right for us to take protectors other than Thee; but Thou didst bestow on them and their fathers the good things of this life until they forgot Thy admonition and became a ruined people.' 025:018 Yusufali They will say: "Glory to Thee! not meet was it for us that we should take for protectors others besides Thee: But Thou didst bestow, on them and their fathers, good things (in life), until they forgot the Message: for they were a people (worthless and) lost.” 025:019 025:019 Khan Thus they (false gods all deities other than Allah) will give you (polytheists) the lie regarding what you say (that they are gods besides Allah), then you can neither avert (the punishment), nor get help. And whoever among you does wrong (i.e. sets up rivals to Allah), We shall make him taste a great torment. 025:019 Maulana So they will give you the lie in what you say, then you can neither ward off (evil), nor (obtain) help. And whoever among you does wrong, We shall make him taste a great chastisement. 025:019 Pickthal Thus they will give you the lie regarding what ye say, then ye can neither avert (the doom) nor obtain help. And whoso among you doeth wrong, We shall make him taste great torment. 025:019 Rashad They have disbelieved in the message you have given them, and, consequently, you can neither protect them from the retribution they have incurred, nor can you help them in any way. Anyone among you who commits evil, we will commit him to severe retribution. 025:019 Sarwar God will say (to the idolaters), "Your idols have rejected your faith. You cannot avoid their rejection nor can you find any help. Anyone of you who commits injustice will be made to suffer a great torment." 025:019 Shakir So they shall indeed give you the lie in what you say, then you shall not be able to ward off or help, and whoever among you is unjust, We will make him taste a great chastisement. 025:019 Sherali Then WE shall say to their worshippers, `They have given you the lie regarding what you said, so you cannot avert the punishment, neither can you get help. And whosoever among you does wrong, WE shall make him taste a grievous punishment. 025:019 Yusufali (Allah will say): "Now have they proved you liars in what ye say: so ye cannot avert (your penalty) nor (get) help." And whoever among you does wrong, him shall We cause to taste of a grievous Penalty. 025:020 025:020 Khan And We never sent before you (O Muhammad SAW) any of the Messengers but verily, they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience? And your Lord is Ever All-Seer (of everything). 025:020 Maulana And We did not send before thee any messengers but they surely ate food and went about in the markets. And We make some of you a trial for others. Will you bear patiently? And thy Lord is ever Seeing. 025:020 Pickthal We never sent before thee any messengers but lo! they verily ate food and walked in the markets. And We have appointed some of you a test for others: Will ye be steadfast? And thy Lord is ever Seer. 025:020 Rashad We did not send any messengers before you who did not eat food and walk in the markets. We thus test you by each other; will you steadfastly persevere? Your Lord is Seer. 025:020 Sarwar All the Messengerss whom We sent before, certainly, ate food and walked through the streets. We have made some of you (people) a trial for the others. Would you then exercise patience? Your Lord is All-aware. 025:020 Shakir And We have not sent before you any messengers but they most surely ate food and went about in the markets; and We have made some of you a trial for others; will you bear patiently? And your Lord is ever Seeing. 025:020 Sherali And WE did not send any Messengers before thee but surely they ate food and walked in the streets. And WE make some of you a trial for others to see whether you are steadfast. And thy Lord is All-Seeing. 025:020 Yusufali And the messengers whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? for Allah is One Who sees (all things). 025:021 025:021 Part 19. 025:021 Section 3: The Day of Discrimination 025:021 Khan And those who expect not for a Meeting with Us (i.e. those who deny the Day of Resurrection and the life of the Hereafter), say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or why do we not see our Lord?" Indeed they think too highly of themselves, and are scornful with great pride. 025:021 Maulana And those who look not for meeting with Us, say: Why have not angels been sent down to us, or (why) do we not see our Lord? Indeed they are too proud of themselves and revolt in great revolt. 025:021 Pickthal And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: Why are angels not sent down unto us and (Why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride. 025:021 Rashad Those who do not expect to meet us said, "If only the angels could come down to us, or we could see our Lord (we would then believe)!" Indeed, they have committed a gross arrogance, and have produced a gross blasphemy. 025:021 Sarwar Those who have no desire to meet Us have said, "Would that the angels had been sent to us or that we could see our Lord." They are really filled with pride and have committed the greatest and worst kind of rebellion and hostility. 025:021 Shakir And those who do not hope for Our meeting, say: Why have not angels been sent down upon us, or (why) do we not see our Lord? Now certainly they are too proud of themselves and have revolted in great revolt. 025:021 Sherali And those, who do not expect a meeting with US, say, `Why are not angels sent down to us? Or, why do we not see our Lord?'
