Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Ayah 136
| يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۚ وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا |
| Transliteration | : | yaa 'ayyuhaa 'alladhena 'aamano 'aamino bi- 'allaah wa- rasol -hi wa- al- kitaab 'alladhe nazzala calaa rasol -hi wa- al- kitaab 'alladhe anzala min qablu wa- man yakfur bi- 'allaah wa- malaa'ikah -hi wa- kutub -hi wa- rusul -hi wa- al- yawm al- 'aakhir fa- qad d.alla d.alaal(an) baced(an) |
| Pickthall | : | O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day, he verily hath wandered far astray. |
| Asad | : | O you who have attained to faith! Hold fast unto your belief in God and His Apostle, and in the divine writ which He has bestowed from on high upon His Apostle, step by step, as well as in the revelation which He sent down aforetime:151 for he who denies God, and His angels, and His revelations, and His apostles, and the Last Day, has indeed gone far astray.152 |
| Malik | : | O believers! Believe in Allah, His Rasool, the Book which He has revealed to His Rasool, and every Book which He previously revealed. He who denies Allah, His angels, His Books, His Rasools and the Last Day has gone far astray. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | O ye who believe! believe in Allah and his Apostle and the scripture which He hath sent to His Apostle and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). And who denieth Allah His angels His Books His Apostles and the Day of Judgment hath gone far far astray. 646 |
Note - 151What is meant here is belief in the fact of earlier
revelation, and not in the earlier-revealed scriptures in
their present form, which - as repeatedly stated in the
Qur'an - is the outcome of far-reaching corruption of the
original texts.
|
Note - 152Since it is through the beings or forces described as
angels that God conveys His revelations to the prophets,
belief in angels is correlated with belief in revelation
as such.
|
Note - 646If your belief is by habit or birth or the example of
those you love or respect or admire, make that belief
more specific and personal to yourself. We must not only
have faith, but realise that faith in our inmost being.
The chief objects of our Faith are Allah, His Messenger,
and His Revelations. To all these we must give a home in
our hearts. The angels we do not see and realise as we
realise Allah, who is nearer to us than the vehicle of
our life-blood, and the Day of Judgment is for our future
experience, but we must not deny them, or we cut off a
part of our religious view.
