حم ﴿۱﴾
Qarib: HaMeem.
Sarwar: Ha. Mim.
Shakir: Ha Mim
Pickthall: Ha. Mim.
Yusufali: Ha-Mim
وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ ﴿۲﴾
Qarib: By the Clear Book
Sarwar: I swear by the illustrious Book.
Shakir: I swear by the Book that makes things clear:
Pickthall: By the Scripture which maketh plain,
Yusufali: By the Book that makes things clear,-
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿۳﴾
Qarib: We have made it an Arabic Koran in order that you understand.
Sarwar: We have made it an Arabic reading text so that perhaps you may understand.
Shakir: Surely We have made it an Arabic Quran that you may understand
Pickthall: Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture, in Arabic that haply ye may understand.
Yusufali: We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand (and learn wisdom).
وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ ﴿۴﴾
Qarib: It is in the Origin of the Book with Us, sublime and wise.
Sarwar: It (the Quran) exists in the original Book with Us which is certainly Most Exalted, full of wisdom and (beyond linguistic structures).
Shakir: And surely it is in the original of the Book with Us, truly elevated, full of wisdom
Pickthall: And Lo! in the Source of Decrees, which We possess, it is indeed sublime, decisive.
Yusufali: And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in Our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom.
أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنْكُمُ الذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَنْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُسْرِفِينَ ﴿۵﴾
Qarib: Shall We turn away the Remembrance from you because you are a sinful nation?
Sarwar: Can We ignore sending you the Quran just because you are a transgressing people?
Shakir: What! shall We then turn away the reminder from you altogether because you are an extravagant people?
Pickthall: Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk?
Yusufali: Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you), for that ye are a people transgressing beyond bounds?
وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۶﴾
Qarib: How many a Prophet did We send to the ancients,
Sarwar: How many Messengers did We send to the ancient people?
Shakir: And how many a prophet have We sent among the ancients
Pickthall: How many a prophet did We send among the men of old!
Yusufali: But how many were the prophets We sent amongst the peoples of old?
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿۷﴾
Qarib: no Prophet came to them except that they mocked him,
Sarwar: No Prophet came to them whom they did not mock.
Shakir: And there came not to them a prophet but they mocked at him
Pickthall: And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.
Yusufali: And never came there a prophet to them but they mocked him.
فَأَهْلَكْنَا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشًا وَمَضَى مَثَلُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۸﴾
Qarib: so We destroyed those who were mightier in courage than they. And the example of the ancients has passed away.
Sarwar: We destroyed the strongest among them in power. The stories of the ancient people have already been mentioned.
Shakir: Then We destroyed those who were stronger than these in prowess, and the case of the ancients has gone before,
Pickthall: Then We destroyed men mightier than these in prowess; and the example of the men of old hath gone (before them).
Yusufali: So We destroyed (them)- stronger in power than these;- and (thus) has passed on the Parable of the peoples of old.
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿۹﴾
Qarib: Yet, if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will answer: 'The Almighty, the Knower created them. '
Sarwar: (Muhammad), if you ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" They will certainly say, "The Majestic and All-knowing God has created them".
Shakir: And if you should ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth? they would most certainly say: The Mighty, the Knowing One, has created them;
Pickthall: And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer: The Mighty, the Knower created them;
Yusufali: If thou wert to question them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' They would be sure to reply, 'they were created by (Him), the Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge';-
الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ﴿۱۰﴾
Qarib: (It is) He who made the earth to be a cradle for you and made in it ways for you, in order that you are guided.
Sarwar: It is He who has made the earth for you as a cradle and has made roads therein so that you will perhaps seek guidance.
Shakir: He Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and made in it ways for you that you may go aright;
Pickthall: Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and placed roads for you therein, that haply ye may find your way;
Yusufali: (Yea, the same that) has made for you the earth (like a carpet) spread out, and has made for you roads (and channels) therein, in order that ye may find guidance (on the way);
وَالَّذِي نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنْشَرْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتًا كَذَلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ ﴿۱۱﴾
Qarib: And (it is He), who sends down water from the sky in its measure thereby We revive the land that was dead, as such you shall be brought forth.
Sarwar: It is He who has sent down water from the sky in a known measure by which He has given life to the dead earth. In the same way will you also be resurrected.
Shakir: And He Who sends down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We raise to life thereby a dead country, even thus shall you be brought forth;
Pickthall: And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
Yusufali: That sends down (from time to time) rain from the sky in due measure;- and We raise to life therewith a land that is dead; even so will ye be raised (from the dead);-
وَالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ ﴿۱۲﴾
Qarib: And, (it is He) who has created all the pairs and appointed for you ships and the cattle on which you ride,
Sarwar: It is He who has created everything in pairs and the ships and cattle for you to ride,
Shakir: And He Who created pairs of all things, and made for you of the ships and the cattle what you ride on,
Pickthall: He Who created all the pairs, and appointed for you ships and cattle whereupon ye ride.
Yusufali: That has created pairs in all things, and has made for you ships and cattle on which ye ride,
لِتَسْتَوُوا عَلَى ظُهُورِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا اسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ ﴿۱۳﴾
Qarib: so that you can sit upon their backs and then remember the Favors of your Lord and say: 'Exaltations to Him who has subjected these to us otherwise, we ourselves were not capable of it,
Sarwar: so that perhaps when you ride them, you will recall the bounties of your Lord and when you establish your control over it you would say, "Glory belongs to Him who has made it subservient to us when we would not have been able to do so ourselves.
Shakir: That you may firmly sit on their backs, then remember the favor of your Lord when you are firmly seated thereon, and say: Glory be to Him Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it
Pickthall: That ye may mount upon their backs, and may remember your Lord's favour when ye mount thereon, and may say: Glorified be He Who hath subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them);
Yusufali: In order that ye may sit firm and square on their backs, and when so seated, ye may celebrate the (kind) favour of your Lord, and say, "Glory to Him Who has subjected these to our (use), for we could never have accomplished this (by ourselves),
وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ ﴿۱۴﴾
Qarib: indeed, to our Lord we are turning. '
Sarwar: To our Lord we shall all return".
Shakir: And surely to our Lord we must return
Pickthall: And lo! unto our Lord we surely are returning.
Yusufali: "And to our Lord, surely, must we turn back!"
وَجَعَلُوا لَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ جُزْءًا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَكَفُورٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۵﴾
Qarib: Yet they assign to Him some of His own (created) worshipers! Clearly, the human is unthankful.
Sarwar: The pagans have considered some of His servants as His children. There is no doubt that the human being is simply ungrateful.
Shakir: And they assign to Him a part of His servants; man, to be sure, is clearly ungrateful
Pickthall: And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is verily a mere ingrate.
Yusufali: Yet they attribute to some of His servants a share with Him (in his godhead)! truly is man a blasphemous ingrate avowed!
أَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَاكُمْ بِالْبَنِينَ ﴿۱۶﴾
Qarib: Or, has He taken daughters from those He has created for Himself and favored sons for you?
Sarwar: Has God chosen some of His own creatures as daughters for Himself and has given you the preference of having sons?
Shakir: What! has He taken daughters to Himself of what He Himself creates and chosen you to have sons?
Pickthall: Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created, and honoureth He you with sons?
Yusufali: What! has He taken daughters out of what He himself creates, and granted to you sons for choice?
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُمْ بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ ﴿۱۷﴾
Qarib: Yet when one of them is given glad news of (a daughter) that which he likened to the Merciful his face darkens and he chokes inwardly (with gloom).
Sarwar: When one of them is given the glad news of the birth of a daughter, which they believe to be the only kind of child that the Beneficent God can have, his face blackens with anger.
Shakir: And when one of them is given news of that of which he sets up as a likeness for the Beneficent Allah, his face becomes black and he is full of rage
Pickthall: And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the Beneficent One, his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward rage.
Yusufali: When news is brought to one of them of (the birth of) what he sets up as a likeness to (Allah) Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief!
أَوَمَنْ يُنَشَّأُ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي الْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ ﴿۱۸﴾
Qarib: (As such they attribute to Allah) who is brought up among ornaments but when disputes arise are powerless.
Sarwar: Does God choose for Himself the kind of children who grow up wearing ornaments and who are not strong enough to defend their rights?
Shakir: What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!
Pickthall: (Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and in dispute cannot make itself plain?
Yusufali: Is then one brought up among trinkets, and unable to give a clear account in a dispute (to be associated with Allah)?
وَجَعَلُوا الْمَلَائِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَاثًا أَشَهِدُوا خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَيُسْأَلُونَ ﴿۱۹﴾
Qarib: They claim that the angels, who are themselves the worshipers of the Merciful, are females. Did they witness their creation! Their witness shall be written down and they shall be questioned.
Sarwar: Do they say that the angels, who are the servants of the Beneficent God, are females? Have they witnessed their creation? Their words as such will be recorded and they will be questioned for it.
Shakir: And they make the angels-- them who are the servants of the Beneficent Allah-- female (divinities). What! did they witness their creation? Their evidence shall be written down and they shall be questioned
Pickthall: And they make the angels, who are the slaves of the Beneficent, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned.
Yusufali: And they make into females angels who themselves serve Allah. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be called to account!
وَقَالُوا لَوْ شَاءَ الرَّحْمَنُ مَا عَبَدْنَاهُمْ مَا لَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ ﴿۲۰﴾
Qarib: They say: 'Had it been the will of the Merciful, we would never have worshipped them. ' Of this they have no knowledge, they are but guessing.
Sarwar: The pagans say, "Had the Beneficent God wanted, we would not have worshipped them (idols)." Whatever they say is not based on knowledge. It is only a false conjecture.
Shakir: And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, we should never have worshipped them. They have no knowledge of this; they only lie
Pickthall: And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do but guess.
Yusufali: ("Ah!") they say, "If it had been the will of (Allah) Most Gracious, we should not have worshipped such (deities)!" Of that they have no knowledge! they do nothing but lie!
أَمْ آتَيْنَاهُمْ كِتَابًا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ فَهُمْ بِهِ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ ﴿۲۱﴾
Qarib: Or have We given them a Book before this which they hold fast to?
Sarwar: Had We, before sending the Quran, given them a book to which they now refer as an authority?
Shakir: Or have We given them a book before it so that they hold fast to it?
Pickthall: Or have We given them any scripture before (this Qur'an) so that they are holding fast thereto?
Yusufali: What! have We given them a Book before this, to which they are holding fast?
بَلْ قَالُوا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمْ مُهْتَدُونَ ﴿۲۲﴾
Qarib: No, but they say: 'We found our fathers following a creed, and by following in their footsteps we are guided.
Sarwar: In fact, they say, "We found our fathers following a certain belief and we now follow in their footsteps for our guidance".
Shakir: Nay! they say: We found our fathers on a course, and surely we are guided by their footsteps
Pickthall: Nay, for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are guided by their footprints.
Yusufali: Nay! they say: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we do guide ourselves by their footsteps."
وَكَذَلِكَ مَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ نَذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمْ مُقْتَدُونَ ﴿۲۳﴾
Qarib: As such, We never sent a warner before you to a village, except those living in luxury said: 'We found our fathers following a creed, and by following in their footsteps we are guided. '
Sarwar: In the same way, whenever We had sent a Messenger before you to warn a town, the rich ones therein said, "We found our fathers following a certain belief and we follow in their footsteps.
Shakir: And thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those who led easy lives in it said: Surely we found our fathers on a course, and surely we are followers of their footsteps
Pickthall: And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints.
Yusufali: Just in the same way, whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people, the wealthy ones among them said: "We found our fathers following a certain religion, and we will certainly follow in their footsteps."
قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِأَهْدَى مِمَّا وَجَدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَكُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهِ كَافِرُونَ ﴿۲۴﴾
Qarib: Say: 'What then if I bring you a better guidance than that you found your fathers following? ' But they reply: 'We disbelieve in that you have been sent with.'
Sarwar: The Messengers would say, "Would you still follow in the footsteps of your fathers even if I was to bring you better guidance?" They would say, "We have no faith in your message".
Shakir: (The warner) said: What! even if I bring to you a better guide than that on which you found your fathers? They said: Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you are sent
Pickthall: (And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better guidance than that ye found your fathers following? They answered: Lo! in what ye bring we are disbelievers.
Yusufali: He said: "What! Even if I brought you better guidance than that which ye found your fathers following?" They said: "For us, we deny that ye (prophets) are sent (on a mission at all)."
فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿۲۵﴾
Qarib: So We took vengeance upon them, and see how the end was of those who lied.
Sarwar: We took revenge on them. See how terrible the end of those who rejected (Or revelations) was!
Shakir: So We inflicted retribution on them, then see how was the end of the rejecters
Pickthall: So We requited them. Then see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters!
Yusufali: So We exacted retribution from them: now see what was the end of those who rejected (Truth)!
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ إِنَّنِي بَرَاءٌ مِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ ﴿۲۶﴾
Qarib: (Remember) when Abraham, said to his father and his nation: 'I am quit from what you worship,
Sarwar: When Abraham said to his father and his people, "I boldly renounce what you worship
Shakir: And when Ibrahim said to his father and his people: Surely I am clear of what you worship,
Pickthall: And when Abraham said unto his father and his folk: Lo! I am innocent of what ye worship
Yusufali: Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: "I do indeed clear myself of what ye worship:
إِلَّا الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي فَإِنَّهُ سَيَهْدِينِ ﴿۲۷﴾
Qarib: except Him who originated me, for He will guide me. '
Sarwar: except for the One who has created me and will guide me".
Shakir: Save Him Who created me, for surely He will guide me
Pickthall: Save Him Who did create me, for He will surely guide me.
Yusufali: "(I worship) only Him Who made me, and He will certainly guide me."
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةً بَاقِيَةً فِي عَقِبِهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿۲۸﴾
Qarib: He made this an abiding word among his descendants, in order that they would return.
Sarwar: God made (belief in one God) an everlasting task for his successors, so that perhaps they would return (to Him).
Shakir: And he made it a word to continue in his posterity that they may return
Pickthall: And he made it a word enduring among his seed, that haply they might return.
Yusufali: And he left it as a Word to endure among those who came after him, that they may turn back (to Allah).
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّى جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۲۹﴾
Qarib: I gave them and their fathers days of enjoyment until the truth and a clear Messenger came to them.
Sarwar: In fact, We allowed them and their fathers to enjoy themselves until the truth and a strong Messenger came to them.
Shakir: Nay! I gave them and their fathers to enjoy until there came to them the truth and a Messenger making manifest (the truth)
Pickthall: Nay, but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till there should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.
Yusufali: Yea, I have given the good things of this life to these (men) and their fathers, until the Truth has come to them, and a messenger making things clear.
وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِ كَافِرُونَ ﴿۳۰﴾
Qarib: But when the truth came to them, they said: 'This is sorcery, we disbelieve in it. '
Sarwar: When the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic and we have no faith in it".
Shakir: And when there came to them the truth they said: This is magic, and surely we are disbelievers in it
Pickthall: And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.
Yusufali: But when the Truth came to them, they said: "This is sorcery, and we do reject it."
وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ ﴿۳۱﴾
Qarib: They also said: 'Why was this Koran not sent down to a great man from the two Villages? '
Sarwar: Then they said, "Why this Quran had not been revealed to a man from either of the two great towns".
Shakir: And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a man of importance in the two towns?
Pickthall: And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns?
Yusufali: Also, they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some leading man in either of the two (chief) cities?"
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَعِيشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ ﴿۳۲﴾
Qarib: What, is it they who divide the Mercy of your Lord! (It is) We who divided between them their livelihoods in this life, raising some in rank above others, so that some may take the other into his service. Your Lord's Mercy is better than all they gather.
Sarwar: Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have distributed their sustenance in this world and raised the positions of some of them above the others so that they would mock each other. The mercy of your Lord is better than what they can amass.
Shakir: Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world, and We j have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass
Pickthall: Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.
Yusufali: Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of thy Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world: and We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may command work from others. But the Mercy of thy Lord is better than the (wealth) which they amass.
وَلَوْلَا أَنْ يَكُونَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً لَجَعَلْنَا لِمَنْ يَكْفُرُ بِالرَّحْمَنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ ﴿۳۳﴾
Qarib: If it were not that mankind would be one nation We would have made for whosoever disbelieves in the Merciful silver roofs upon their houses, and stairs to climb,
Sarwar: Were it not for the fear that all people would become one in disbelief, We would have made for the disbelievers in the Beneficent God ceilings out of silver and ladders by which they would climb up,
Shakir: And were it not that all people had been a single nation, We would certainly have assigned to those who disbelieve in the Beneficent Allah (to make) of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs by which they ascend
Pickthall: And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount,
Yusufali: And were it not that (all) men might become of one (evil) way of life, We would provide, for everyone that blasphemes against (Allah) Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses and (silver) stair-ways on which to go up,
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَابًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِئُونَ ﴿۳۴﴾
Qarib: with doors to their houses and couches on which to recline;
Sarwar: doors for their houses, couches on which to recline,
Shakir: And the doors of their houses and the couches on which they recline,
Pickthall: And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline,
Yusufali: And (silver) doors to their houses, and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline,
وَزُخْرُفًا وَإِنْ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿۳۵﴾
Qarib: and gold, surely, all this is but the enjoyment of this present life. The Everlasting Life with your Lord is for those who fear (Him).
Sarwar: and other ornament of gold. All these are only the means of enjoyment in this world, but the pious will receive their reward from your Lord in the life hereafter.
Shakir: And (other) embellishments of gold; and all this is naught but provision of this world's life, and the hereafter is with your Lord only for those who guard (against evil)
Pickthall: And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil.
Yusufali: And also adornments of gold. But all this were nothing but conveniences of the present life: The Hereafter, in the sight of thy Lord is for the Righteous.
وَمَنْ يَعْشُ عَنْ ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيْطَانًا فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرِينٌ ﴿۳۶﴾
Qarib: To whosoever blinds himself from the Remembrance of the Merciful, We shall assign him a satan so he is his companion,
Sarwar: We shall make satan the companion of whoever ignores the remembrance of the Beneficent God.
Shakir: And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the Beneficent Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan, so he becomes his associate
Pickthall: And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;
Yusufali: If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him.
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ ﴿۳۷﴾
Qarib: and they bar them from the Way, though they themselves think that they are guided.
