Surah 45. Al-Jathiya

Qur'an

Translation

Your search did not yield any results.

Now as for those who indulge in sinful doings - do they think that We place them, both in their life and their death, on an equal footing with those who have attained to faith and do righteous deeds?22 Bad, indeed, is their judgment:

- Mohammad Asad

Do the evil doers think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do good deeds, and that their lives and deaths shall be alike? Bad is their judgment!

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Or do those who commit evil deeds 'simply' think that We will make them equal- in their life and after their death- to those who believe and do good? How wrong is their judgment!

- Mustafa Khattab

Or do those who commit ill deeds suppose that We shall make them as those who believe and do good works, the same life and death? Bad is their judgment!

- Marmaduke Pickthall

What! do those who seek after evil ways think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds that equal will be their Life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make. 4759

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali

for, God has created the heavens and the earth in accordance with [an inner] truth,23 and [has therefore willed] that every human being shall be recompensed for what he has earned and none shall be wronged.

- Mohammad Asad

Allah has created the heavens and the earth to manifest the truth, and to reward each soul according to its deeds, and none of them shall be wronged.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

For Allah created the heavens and the earth for a purpose, so that every soul may be paid back for what it has committed. And none will be wronged.

- Mustafa Khattab

And Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth, and that every soul may be repaid what it hath earned. And they will not be wronged.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

Allah created the heavens and the earth for just ends and in order that each soul may find the recompense of what it has earned and none of them be wronged. 4760

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali

- Mohammad Asad

Have you considered the case of such an individual who has made his own desires as his god, and Allah having knowledge let him go astray, and sealed his hearing and heart and drew a veil over his sight? Who is there to guide him after Allah has withdrawn His guidance? Will you not learn a lesson?

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Have you seen 'O Prophet' those who have taken their own desires as their god? 'And so' Allah left them to stray knowingly, sealed their hearing and hearts, and placed a cover on their sight. Who then can guide them after Allah? Will you 'all' not then be mindful?

- Mustafa Khattab

Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah sendeth him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (hath condemned him)? Will ye not then heed?

- Marmaduke Pickthall

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali

And yet they say: "There is nothing beyond our life in this world. We die as we come to life,26 and nothing but time destroys us." But of this they have no knowledge whatever: they do nothing but guess.

- Mohammad Asad

The disbelievers say: "There is nothing but the life of this world? We live and die; nothing but time destroys us." In fact, they have no knowledge concerning this. They are merely guessing.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

And they argue, 'There is nothing beyond our worldly life. We die; others are born. And nothing destroys us but 'the passage of' time.' Yet they have no knowledge 'in support' of this 'claim'. They only speculate.

- Mustafa Khattab

And they say: There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and naught destroyeth us save time; when they have no knowledge whatsoever of (all) that; they do but guess.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

And they say: "What is there but our life in this world? We shall die and we live and nothing but Time can destroy us." But of that they have no knowledge: they merely conjecture: 4763

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali

And [so,] whenever Our messages are conveyed to them in all their clarity, their only argument is this:27 "Bring forth our forefathers [as witnesses], if what you claim is true!"28

- Mohammad Asad

When Our clear revelations are recited to them, they have no other argument but to say: "Bring our forefathers back if what you say is true!"

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: 'Bring our forefathers back, if what you say is true!'

- Mustafa Khattab

And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers then, if ye are truthful.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them their argument is nothing but this: they say "Bring (back) our forefathers if what ye say is true!" 4764

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Say: "It is God who gives you life, and then causes you to die; and in the end He will gather you together on Resurrection Day, [the coming of] which is beyond all doubt - but most human beings understand it not."

- Mohammad Asad

O Prophet tell them: "It is Allah Who gives you life and later causes you to die; then it is He Who will gather you all on the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, yet most people do not understand."

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Say, 'O Prophet,' ''It is' Allah 'Who' gives you life, then causes you to die, then will gather you 'all' on the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.'

- Mustafa Khattab

Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah giveth life to you, then causeth you to die, then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

Say: "It is Allah Who gives you life then gives you death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgement about which there is no doubt": but most men do not understand.

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali

For, God's is the dominion over the heavens and the earth; and on the Day when the Last Hour dawns - on that Day will be lost all who [in their lifetime] tried to reduce to nothing [whatever they could not understand].29

- Mohammad Asad

To Allah belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. On that Day when the Hour of Judgment will be established, those who have denied His revelations shall be doomed to loss.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

To Allah 'alone' belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. On the Day the Hour will be established, the people of falsehood will then be in 'total' loss.

- Mustafa Khattab

And unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and on the day when the Hour riseth, on that day those who follow falsehood will be lost.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and the Day that the Hour of Judgment is established that Day will the dealers in Falsehood perish! 4765

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali

And [on that Day] thou wilt see all people kneeling down [in humility]: all people will be called upon to [face] their record: "Today you shall be requited for all that you ever did!

- Mohammad Asad

You shall see every nation on its knees. Every nation shall be summoned to its book of record, and Allah will say: "Today you shall be rewarded for your deeds.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

And you will see every faith-community on its knees. Every community will be summoned to its record 'of deeds'. 'They all will be told,' 'This Day you will be rewarded for what you used to do.

- Mustafa Khattab

And thou wilt see each nation crouching, each nation summoned to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited what ye used to do.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

Now as for those who indulge in sinful doings - do they think that We place them, both in their life and their death, on an equal footing with those who have attained to faith and do righteous deeds?²² Bad, indeed, is their judgment:

What! do those who seek after evil ways think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds that equal will be their Life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make. ⁴⁷⁵⁹

for, God has created the heavens and the earth in accordance with [an inner] truth,²³ and [has therefore willed] that every human being shall be recompensed for what he has earned and none shall be wronged.

Allah created the heavens and the earth for just ends and in order that each soul may find the recompense of what it has earned and none of them be wronged. ⁴⁷⁶⁰

And yet they say: "There is nothing beyond our life in this world. We die as we come to life,²⁶ and nothing but time destroys us." But of this they have no knowledge whatever: they do nothing but guess.

And they say: "What is there but our life in this world? We shall die and we live and nothing but Time can destroy us." But of that they have no knowledge: they merely conjecture: ⁴⁷⁶³

"And when it was said that the promise of Allah was true and that the Hour there was no doubt about its (coming) ye used to say `We know not what is the Hour: we only think it is an idea and we have no firm assurance.'" ⁴⁷⁶⁹

And [on that Day,] the evil of their doings will become obvious to them, and they will be overwhelmed by the very thing which they were wont to deride.³⁰

Then will appear to them the evil (fruits) of what they did and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at! ⁴⁷⁷⁰

It will also be said: "This Day We will forget you as ye forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! And your abode is the Fire and no helpers have ye! ⁴⁷⁷¹

this, because you made God's messages the target of your mockery, having allowed the life of this world to beguile you!³¹ On that Day, therefore, they will not be brought out of the fire,³² nor will they be allowed to make amends.
