And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is (69).

النخل ولتعلمن أينا أشد عذابا وأبقى((71

So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring”(79).
The Egyptian Pharaoh Said:” You Believed In Prophet Musa Before I Permitted You? Verily! He Is The Chief Who Taught You Magic! I Shall Thus Definitely Cut Off Your Hands & Feet From Opposite Sides, And Will Surely Crucify You On The Trunks Of Date-Palm Trees. Then You Will Evidently Know Whom Of Us, I The Egyptian Pharaoh Or The Lord Of Prophet Musa, [Allah (SWT)] Can Give The Severe And More Lasting Torment.”

Allah (SWT) Said: “Verily! Oh Musa We (SWT) Have Tried Your People In Your Absence, & The Samiri Has Enchanted Them & Led Them To Go Astray, Through Getting Them To Prostrate To The Calf”.
فرجع موسى إلى قومه غضبان أسفا قال يا قوم ألم يعدكم ربكم وعدا حسنا أفطال عليكم العهد أم أردتم أن يحل عليكم غضب من ربكم فأخلفتم موعدي(86)
So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, “O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?”(86).
And Thus Prophet Musa Returned To His Israelites In A State Of Anger And Sorrow. He Said: “O My People! Did Your Lord [Allah (SWT)] Not Make You All A Firm Descent Promise? Did Then The Promise Of Your Lord Seem Extended In Arriving? Or Did You Desire That Wrath Should Descend Upon You From Allah (SWT). Thus You, Collectively Broke Your Promise Of Obedience To Allah (i.e Disbelieving In Allah (SWT) And Worshipping The Calf)?” Thus Following The Footsteps Of The Samiri !
قالوا ما أخلفنا موعدك بملكنا ولكنا حملنا أوزارا من زينة القوم
فقذفناها فكذلك ألقى السامري(87)
They said, “We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Samiri throw” (87).
Prophet Musa’s Israelites Said: “We Broke Not The Promise To You, Out Of Our Own Will. Rather We Were Made To Carry The Weights Of The Ornaments Of The Egyptian Pharaoh. Thus, The Israelites Of Prophet Musa, Cast Them (Into The Fire), And That Was What The Samiri Had Enticed The Israelites Of
Prophet Musa To Do.”
فأخرج لهم عجلا جسدا له خوار فقالوا هذا إلهكم وإله موسى فنسي(88)
And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, “This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot”(87).
Then The Samiri Picked Out From The Fire For Them A Statue Of A Calf Which Seemed To Have A “Howling Sound”. They Said: “This Is Your Deity (Your God), & The Deity Of Musa But [Musa] Had Forgotten (His God).'”
أفلا يرون ألا يرجع إليهم قولا ولا يملك لهم ضرّا ولا نفعا(89)
Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit? (89).
Did The Israelites Not See That The Calf Could Not Return Them A Word (For An Answer), And That It Had No Power Either To Harm Them Or Do Good?
ولقد قال لهم هارون من قبل يا قوم إنما فتنتم به وإن ربكم الرحمن فاتبعوني وأطيعوا أمري(90)
And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], “O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order”(90).
And Haroon (Prophet Musa’s Elder Brother) Indeed Had Said To The Israelites Before The Return Of Musa: “Oh My People You Are Being Tried & Tested By The Calf, And Verily, Your Lord Is Allah (SWT) The Most Merciful, The Most Beneficent, Therefore Follow Me & Obey My Orders.”
قالوا لن نبرح عليه عاكفين حتى يرجع إلينا موسى(91)
They said, “We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us”(91).
The Israelites Responded By Saying: “We Shall Not Stop Worshipping The Calf, Until Prophet Musa Returns To Us.”
قال يا هارون ما منعك إذ رأيتهم ضلوا(92)
[Moses] said, “O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, (92)
Prophet Musa Said: “Oh Haroon! What Stopped You When You Saw Them Entering Aberrance & Delusion?
ألا تتبعن أفعصيت أمري(93)
What stopped You from following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?”(93).
“What Stopped You From Following Me? Having Understood My Advice To You? Have You Therefore Disobeyed My Orders?”
قال يا ابن أم لا تأخذ بلحيتي ولا برأسي إني خشيت أن تقول فرقت بين بني إسرائيل ولم ترقب قولي(94)
[Aaron] said, “O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, ‘You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word’ “(94).
Haroon Said: “Oh Son Of My Mother! Do Not Seize Me By My Beard Nor
By My Head! Verily, I Feared Lest You Should Say: ‘You Caused The Division Amongst The Israelites, Thus Not Respecting My Word!’ “
قال فما خطبك يا سامري(95)
[Moses] said, “And what is your case, O Samiri?”
Prophet Musa Said: “And What Is The Matter With You. Oh Samiri? (i.e. What Is Your Problem Oh Samiri?)”.
قال بصرت بما لم يبصروا به فقبضت قبضة من أثر الرسول فنبذتها وكذلك سولت لي نفسي(96)
He said, “I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me”(96).
The Samiri Said: “I Saw What They Did Not See. I Thus Took A Handful (Of Dust) From The Hoof Print Of The Messenger [Arch Angel Jibrael’s Horse] And Threw It [Into The Fire In Which The Ornaments Of The Egyptian (Pharaoh) Had Been Disposed Of. Thus My Inner-Self Enticed Me To Do So.”
قال فاذهب فإن لك في الحياة أن تقول لا مساس وإن لك موعدا لن تخلفه وانظر إلى إلهك الذي ظلت عليه عاكفا لنحرقنه ثم لننسفنه في اليم نسفا(97)
[Moses] said, “Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, ‘No contact.’ And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your ‘god’ to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast (97).
Prophet Musa Said: “Then Leave! And Verily, Your (Punishment) In This Life Shall Be That You Will Say: “Touch Me Not (That Is, You Will Live Alone In Exile Away From Humankind); And Verily (For A Future Torment), You Have A Promise That You Shall Not Fail To Honor. And Look At Your Deity, To Which You Have Devoted Yourself To. We (SWT) Will Certainly Burn, Scattering Its Particles Into The Sea.”
إنما إلهكم الله الذي لا إله إلا هو وسع كل شيء علما(98)
Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge”(98).
Your Deity (God) Is Only Allah (SWT), The Only One (La Ilaha Illa Huwa) [None Has The Right To Be Worshipped But He (SWT)]. He (SWT) Has Full Awareness & Complete Knowledge Of All Creation.
كذلك نقص عليك من أنباء ما قد سبق وقد آتيناك من لدنا ذكرا(99)
Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur’an (99).
O Muhammad (Prophet Of Islam) We (SWT) Narrate & Relate To You Some Past Information Of What Had Happened To Previous Prophets & Messengers. And Indeed We (SWT) Have Given You A Reminder, (This Being The Glorious Quran).
من أعرض عنه فإنه يحمل يوم القيامة وزرا(100)
Whoever turns away from it – then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden, (100)
Whoever Turns His Back From, The Glorious Quran i.e. Does Not Believe In Its Revelations, Nor Acts Upon Its Commandments. Verily, They Shall Bear A Heavy Burden (Of Sins) On The Day Of Resurrection & In The Hereafter.
خالدين فيه وساء لهم يوم القيامة حملا(101)
[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load – (101).
They Shall Abide In That (State In The Hellfire), & Evil Indeed Will Be That Load For Them on the Day of Resurrection & In The Hereafter.
يوم ينفخ في الصور ونحشر المجرمين يومئذ زرقا(102)
The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed (102).
The Day When The Trumpet Will Be Blown (For The Second Time): That Day, We (SWT) Shall Gather the Criminals, Polytheists, Sinners, Disbelievers In The Oneness & Unity of Allah (SWT), etc.) Zurqa: (blue or blind eyed with black faces).
يتخافتون بينهم إن لبثتم إلا عشرا(103)
They will murmur among themselves, “You remained not but ten [days in the world]” (103).
Whispering To Each Other (Saying): “You Stayed No Longer Than Ten Days.
نحن أعلم بما يقولون إذ يقول أمثلهم طريقة إن لبثتم إلا يوما (104)
We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, “You remained not but one day”(104).
We (SWT) Are Definitely Well Aware Of What They Will Say, When The Outspoken Amongst Them In Knowledge & Wisdom Shall Say: “You Stayed No More Than One Day (24 Hrs)”!
ويسألونك عن الجبال فقل ينسفها ربي نسفا (105)
And they ask you about the mountains, so say, “My Lord will blow them away with a blast “(105).
And They Oh Muhammad, Ask You Regarding The Mountains, Tell Them: “My Lord (Allah SWT) Will Blast Them And Scatter Them As Particles Of Dust.
فيذرها قاعا صفصفا(106)
And He will leave the earth a level plain; (106).
“Then He (SWT) Shall Leave It (The Earth) As A Level Smooth Plain.
لا ترى فيها عوجا ولا أمتا(107)
You will not see therein a depression or an elevation”(107).
“You Shall See Therein Nothing Crooked Or Curved”. Rather, Only Flat Level Ground.
يومئذ يتبعون الداعي لا عوج له وخشعت الأصوات للرحمن فلا تسمع إلا همسا(108)
That Day, everyone will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps] (108).
On The Day Humankind Shall Strictly Follow The Voice Of Allah (SWT)’s Caller, With No Deviation Nor Crookedness. And All Voices Will Be Humbled & Subdued To The Most Merciful, The Most Beneficent [Allah SWT (SWT)], And Nothing Shall Be Heard But The Low Sound Of Their Footsteps.
يومئذ لا تنفع الشفاعة إلا من أذن له الرحمن ورضي له قولا(109)
That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word (109).
On That Day No Intercession Shall Avail Or Benefit, Except The One For Whom The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful Allah (SWT) Shall Accept
On Judgment Day & In The Hereafter.
يومئذ لا تنفع الشفاعة إلا من أذن له الرحمن ورضي له قولا(110)
That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.
On That Day No Intercession Shall Avail Or Benefit, Except The One For Whom The Most Beneficent [Allah (SWT)] Has Given Permission And Whose Word Is Acceptable To Him.
وعنت الوجوه للحي القيوم وقد خاب من حمل ظلما(111)
And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. And he will have failed who carries injustice (111).
And All Faces Of Humankind Shall Be “Humbled Before Allah (SWT)”, the Ever Living, the One Who Sustains and Protects All Existing Creation. And He Who Carried (A Burden Of) Wrongdoing (i.e. He Who Disbelieved In Allah (SWT), Ascribing Partners to Him, And Did Deeds Of Disobedience, Then Became Indeed A Complete Failure (on that Day) For Those Who Carried Injustice.
ومن يعمل من الصالحات وهو مؤمن فلا يخاف ظلما ولا هضما(112)
But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer – he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation (112).
And He Who Performs Righteous Deeds, While He Is A Believer In Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) (And In Islamic Monotheism) Then He Shall Have No Fear Of Injustice, Nor Of Any Curtailment Of His Reward On Judgment Day.
وكذلك أنزلناه قرآنا عربيّا وصرفنا فيه من الوعيد لعلهم يتقون أو يحدث لهم ذكرا(113)
And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance (113).
And We (SWT) Have Revealed & Sent It Down As An “Arabic Qur’an”, And Have Explained Therein In Detail The Warnings, In Order That They May Fear Allah (SWT), Or That It May Cause Them To Have A Lesson From It (Or
To Have The Honour For Believing And Acting On Its Teachings).
فتعالى الله الملك الحق ولا تعجل بالقرآن من قبل أن يقضى إليك وحيه وقل رب زدني علما(114)
So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur’an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge”(114).
Therefore, Allah (SWT) Is The Supreme Sovereign Above All His Creation & the True King. And Be Not In Haste (O Muhammad SAW) With The Quran Before Its Revelation Is Completed To You, Saying: “My Lord! Increase Me In Knowledge (Of The Qur’an).”
ولقد عهدنا إلى آدم من قبل فنسي ولم نجد له عزما(115)
And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination (115).
And indeed We (SWT) Made A Covenant With Prophet Adam Before, But He Forgot, And We (SWT) Found On His Part No Firm Will-Power.
وإذ قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لآدم فسجدوا إلا إبليس أبى(116)
And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused (116).
And (Remember) When We (SWT) Commanded The Angels To: “Prostrate Yourselves To Prophet Adam.” They All Prostrated Except Iblis (Satan), Who Refused The Command Of Allah (SWT).
فقلنا يا آدم إن هذا عدو لك ولزوجك فلا يخرجنكما من الجنة فتشقى(117)
So We said, “O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer (116).
We (SWT) Thus Said: “Prophet Adam! Verily, This Is An Enemy Of Yours And Your Wife. Therefore, Let Him Not Expel Both Of You Out Of Paradise, So That You Be Distressed In Misery.
إن لك ألا تجوع فيها ولا تعرى(118)
Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed (117).
Verily, You Have A Promise From Us (Allah (SWT) That You Shall Never Be Hungry Therein Nor Naked.
وأنك لا تظمأ فيها ولا تضحى(119)
And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun (119).”
And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the sun’s heat.
فوسوس إليه الشيطان قال يا آدم هل أدلك على شجرة الخلد وملك لا يبلى(120)
Then Satan whispered to him; he said, “O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?”(120).
Then Al Shaitan (Satan) Whispered To Prophet Adam, Saying:”O Adam! Shall I Lead You To The “Tree Of Eternity” And To A Kingdom Which Will Never Deteriorate Or Ruin.
فأكلا منها فبدت لهما سوآتهما وطفقا يخصفان عليهما من ورق الجنة وعصى آدم ربه فغوى(121)
And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred (121).
Then Adam & His Wife Ate Off The Eternity Tree, And Hence Their Private Organs Appeared To Them, And They Began To Place On Themselves The Leaves From Paradise For Their Concealment. Thus Did Adam Disobey Allah (SWT) Thus Perpetrating Injustice.
ثم اجتباه ربه فتاب عليه وهدى(122)
Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him] (122).
Then His Lord Chose Him, And Turned To Him With Forgiveness, And Gave Him Guidance.
قال اهبطا منها جميعا بعضكم لبعض عدو فإما يأتينكم مني هدى فمن اتبع هداي فلا يضل ولا يشقى(123)
[Allah] said, “Descend from Paradise – all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me – then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter] (123).
Allah (SWT) Commanded Humankind Saying All Descend From Paradise, All Being Enemies To One Another. Then If There Should Arrive Guidance From Me (SWT), Then Whoever Follows My Guidance Shall Neither Go Astray, Nor Fall Into Distress And Misery.
ومن أعرض عن ذكري فإن له معيشة ضنكا ونحشره يوم القيامة أعمى(124)
And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind”(124).
“But Whosoever Turns Away From My Reminder (i.e. Neither Believes In The Quran Nor Acts On Its Guidance & Commandments, Prophets & Messengers) Verily, For Him Is A Life Of Hardship, & We (SWT) Shall Raise Him Up Blind On The Day Of Resurrection.”
قال رب لم حشرتني أعمى وقد كنت بصيرا(115)
He will say, “My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing (115).
He Will Say: “O My Lord! Why Have You Raised Me Up Blind, While I Had Sight & Vision (Before)?
وإذ قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لآدم فسجدوا إلا إبليس أبى(116)
And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused (116).
And (Mention) When We Said To The Angels: “Prostrate Yourselves To Adam.” They All Prostrated Except Iblis (Satan), Who Refused.
فقلنا يا آدم إن هذا عدو لك ولزوجك فلا يخرجنكما من الجنة فتشقى(117)
So We said, “O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer (117).
We Therefore Said: “O Adam! Verily, This Is An Enemy To You And To Your Wife. Hence, Let Him Not Expel Both Out Of Paradise, So That You Are Distressed In Misery.
إن لك ألا تجوع فيها ولا تعرى(118)
Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed (118).
Verily, You Are (Granted A Promise From Allah (SWT) That You Shall Never Be Hungry Therein Nor Naked.
وأنك لا تظمأ فيها ولا تضحى(119)
And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun”(119).
And You Shall Not Suffer From Thirst Therein Nor From The Sun’s Heat.
فوسوس إليه الشيطان قال يا آدم هل أدلك على شجرة الخلد وملك لا يبلى(120)
Then Satan whispered to him; he said, “O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate (120)?”
Then Shaitan (Satan) Whispered To Him, Saying: “Oh Adam! Shall I Lead You To The Tree Of Eternity & To A Kingdom That Will Never Deteriorate Or Waste Away?”
And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.
Then they both ate of the tree, and so their private parts appeared to them, and they began to stick on themselves the leaves from Paradise for their covering. Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray.
فأكلا منها فبدت لهما سوآتهما وطفقا يخصفان عليهما من ورق الجنة وعصى آدم ربه فغوى(121)
And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred (121).
Then They Both Ate From The Tree, And Therefore Their Private Parts Were Exposed To Themselves, And They Began To Cover Themselves With Leaves From Paradise. Thus Did Adam Disobey His Lord, And Hence He Went Astray.
ثم اجتباه ربه فتاب عليه وهدى(122)
Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him](122).
Then His Lord Allah (SWT) Chose Him, And Turned To Him With Forgiveness, And Granted Him Guidance.
قال اهبطا منها جميعا بعضكم لبعض عدو فإما يأتينكم مني هدى فمن اتبع هداي فلا يضل ولا يشقى(123)
[Allah] Said, “Descend From Paradise – All, [Your Descendants] Being Enemies To One Another. And If There Should Come To You Guidance From Me – Then Whosoever Follows My Guidance Will Neither Go Astray [In The World] Nor Suffer [In the Hereafter] (123).
Allah (SWT) Said:” Descend From Paradise To Earth, Some Of You Are Enemies To Some Others. Then If There Comes To You Guidance From Me (SWT), Then Whosoever Follows Allah (SWT)’s Guidance Shall Neither Go Astray, Nor Fall Into Distress.
ومن أعرض عن ذكري فإن له معيشة ضنكا ونحشره يوم القيامة أعمى(124)
And whoever turns away from My remembrance – indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind”(124).
“But Whosoever Turns Away From My Remembrance (i.e. Neither Believes In The Glorious Qur’an Nor Acts On Its Commandments, Surely, For Him Is A Life Of Hardship, & We (SWT) Shall Raise Him Up Blind On The Day of Resurrection” In The Hereafter.
قال رب لم حشرتني أعمى وقد كنت بصيرا(125)
He will say, “My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing”? (125).
He Said: “Oh My Lord! Why Have You Raised Me Up Blind, I Had Sight Before?
وكذلك نجزي من أسرف ولم يؤمن بآيات ربه ولعذاب الآخرة أشد وأبقى(126)
And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring (126).
And Hence We (SWT) Requite & Repay He Who Transgresses Beyond Bounds [i.e. Commits Great Sins Disobeying Allah (SWT) & Disbelieves In His Messengers, and His Revealed Books, Like The Glorious Qu’ran, etc.], And Believes Not In The Ayat & Commandments (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) Of Allah (SWT), And The Torment Of Humankind In The Hereafter Is Far More Severe & More Lasting.
أفلم يهد لهم كم أهلكنا قبلهم من القرون يمشون في مساكنهم إن في ذلك لآيات لأولي النهى(128)
Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence (128).
Is It Not A Guidance For Them To Comprehend How Many Generations We (SWT) Have Eliminated Before Them. In Whose Dwellings They Walk? Verily, In This Are Signs Indeed For Men Of Understanding.
ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لكان لزاما وأجل مسمّى(129)
And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, punishment would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed] (129).
And Had It Not Been For A Word That Preceded From Your Lord Allah (SWT), and a Determined Term Their Punishment Must Necessarily Have Arrived In This Worldly Lifetime.
فاصبر على ما يقولون وسبح بحمد ربك قبل طلوع الشمس وقبل غروبها ومن آناء الليل فسبح وأطراف النهار لعلك ترضى (130)
So be patient over what they say and exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied (130).
Thus Bear Patiently (Oh Muhammad SAW) Over What They Say, Glorifying & Praising Your Lord Allah (SWT) Before Sun Rise, And Before Its Setting, And During Some Of The Hours Of The Night, And At The Hours Of The Day (Indicating The Five Compulsory Congregational Muslim Prayers), That You Prophet Of Islam May Become Pleased With The Reward Which Allah (SWT) Shall Give You.
ولا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا لنفتنهم فيه ورزق ربك خير وأبقى(131)
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring (131).
And Restrain Your Vision Oh Muhammad SAAS In Longing For The Things We (SWT) Have Given For Enjoyment To Various Humankind [Polytheists, Sinners & Disbelievers In the Oneness of Allah (SWT)]. The Splendour Of The Life Of This World That We (SWT) May Test Them Thereby. But The Provision (Good Reward In The Hereafter) Of Allah (SWT) Is Superior And More Lasting.
وأمر أهلك بالصلاة واصطبر عليها لا نسألك رزقا نحن نرزقك والعاقبة للتقوى(132)
And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness (132).
And Enjoin & Encourage As-Salat (The 5 Daily Muslim Prayers) Upon Your Family Oh Muhammad SAAS, And Be Patient In Offering Them. We (SWT) Do Not Ask You Provisions (i.e. To Give Us (SWT) Material Gains. We Provide For You. And The Ultimate Outcome (i.e. Paradise) Is For The Righteous & Pious.
وقالوا لولا يأتينا بآية من ربه أولم تأتهم بينة ما في الصحف الأولى(133)
And they say, “Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?” Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures (133).
And They Say: “Why Does Muhammad (SAAS) Not Bring Us A Sign (Proof) From His Lord Allah (SWT)?” Has There Not Come To Them Proof Of That Which Was Revealed in In The Former [Scriptures, i.e. The Torah, & In The Injeel. Regarding The Arrival Of The Muslim Prophet Muhammad SAAS.
ولو أنا أهلكناهم بعذاب من قبله لقالوا ربنا لولا أرسلت إلينا رسولا فنتبع آياتك من قبل أن نذل ونخزى(134)
And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, “Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses before we were humiliated and disgraced”(134)?
And If We Had Destroyed Them With A Torment Before This (i.e. Messenger Muhammad SAAS & The Glorious Qur’an), They Would Surely Have Said: “Our Lord Allah (SWT)! If Only You Had Sent Us A Messenger, We Would Certainly Have Followed Your Ayat (Proofs, Evidences, Verses, Lessons, Signs, Revelations, etc.), Before We Were Humiliated & Shamed.”
قل كل متربص فتربصوا فستعلمون من أصحاب الصراط السوي ومن اهتدى (135)
Say, “Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who
are the companions of the sound path and who is guided.”
Say (O Muhammad SAAS): “Each One (Believer & Disbeliever, etc.) Is Awaiting, His & Her Fate Thus You Wait Too, & You (Prophet Of Islam) Shall Come To Know Who Are On The Straight And Even Path (i.e. Allah (SWT)’s Religion of Islamic Monotheism), And Are Those Whom Have Themselves Been Guided Onto The Righteous Path).
