Surah 57. Iron
Surah Al-Hadid
- Whatever is in the heavens and on earth,— let it declare the Praises and Glory of Allah. for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
- To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: It is He Who gives Life and Death; and He has Power over all things.
- He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things.
- He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Six
Days, and is moreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows
what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down
from heaven and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be.
And Allah sees well all that ye do.
- To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: and all affairs are referred back to Allah.
- He merges Night into Day, and He merges Day into Night; and He has full knowledge of the secrets of (all) hearts.
- Believe in Allah and His apostle, and spend (in
charity) out of the (substance) whereof He has made you heirs. For, those of you
who believe and spend (in charity),— for them is a great Reward.
- What cause have ye why ye should not believe in
Allah.— and the Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord, and has indeed
taken your Covenant, if ye are men of Faith.
- He is the One Who sends to His Servant Manifest
Signs, that He may lead you from the depths of Darkness into the Light and
verily Allah is to you most kind and Merciful.
- And what cause have ye why ye should not spend in
the cause of Allah.— For to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the
earth. Not equal among you are those who spent (freely) and fought, before the
Victory, (with those who did so later). Those are higher in rank than those who
spent (freely) and fought afterwards. But to all has Allah promised a goodly
(reward). And Allah is well acquainted with all that ye do.
- Who is he that will Loan to Allah a beautiful loan?
for ((Allah)) will increase it manifold to his credit, and he will have
(besides) a liberal Reward.
- One Day shalt thou see the believing men and the
believing women- how their Light runs forward before them and by their right
hands: (their greeting will be): "Good News for you this Day! Gardens beneath
which flow rivers! to dwell therein for aye! This is indeed the highest
Achievement!"
- One Day will the Hypocrites- men and women — say to
the Believers: "Wait for us! Let us borrow (a Light) from your Light!" It will
be said: "Turn ye back to your rear! then seek a Light (where ye can)!" So a
wall will be put up betwixt them, with a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy
throughout, and without it, all alongside, will be (Wrath and) Punishment!
- (Those without) will call out, "Were we not with
you?" (The others) will reply, "True! but ye led yourselves into temptation; ye
looked forward (to our ruin); ye doubted ((Allah)'s Promise); and (your false)
desires deceived you; until there issued the Command of Allah. And the Deceiver
deceived you in respect of Allah.
- "This Day shall no ransom be accepted of you, nor
of those who rejected Allah." Your abode is the Fire: that is the proper place
to claim you: and an evil refuge it is!"
- Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that
their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of
the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become
like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over
them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious
transgressors.
- Know ye (all) that Allah giveth life to the earth
after its death! already have We shown the Signs plainly to you, that ye may
learn wisdom.
- For those who give in Charity, men and women, and
loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their
credit), and they shall have (besides) a liberal reward.
- And those who believe in Allah and His apostles-
they are the Sincere (lovers of Truth), and the witnesses (who testify), in the
eyes of their Lord: They shall have their Reward and their Light. But those who
reject Allah and deny Our Signs,— they are the Companions of Hell-Fire.
- Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but
play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among
yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth
which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers;
thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the
Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from
Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah.. And what is the life
of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?
- Be ye foremost (in seeking) Forgiveness from your
Lord, and a Garden (of Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of heaven and
earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His apostles: that is the
Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom he pleases: and Allah is the Lord of
Grace abounding.
- No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls
but is recorded in a decree before We bring it into existence: That is truly
easy for Allah.
- In order that ye may not despair over matters that
pass you by, nor exult over favours bestowed upon you. For Allah loveth not any
vainglorious boaster,—
- Such persons as are covetous and commend
covetousness to men. And if any turn back (from Allah's Way), verily Allah is
Free of all Needs, Worthy of all Praise.
- We sent aforetime our apostles with Clear Signs and
sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may
stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty
war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that
will help, Unseen, Him and His apostles: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted
in Might (and able to enforce His Will).
- And We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in
their line Prophethood and Revelation: and some of them were on right guidance.
But many of them became rebellious transgressors.
- Then, in their wake, We followed them up with
(others of) Our apostles: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed
on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him
Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We
did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good
Pleasure of Allah. but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We
bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them
are rebellious transgressors.
- O ye that believe! Fear Allah, and believe in His
Messenger, and He will bestow on you a double portion of His Mercy: He will
provide for you a Light by which ye shall walk (straight in your path), and He
will forgive you (your past): for Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.
- That the People of the Book may know that they have
no power whatever over the Grace of Allah, that (His) Grace is (entirely) in His
Hand, to bestow it on whomsoever He wills. For Allah is the Lord of Grace
abounding.
