019:071 Shakir        And there is not one of you but shall come to it; this is an unavoidable decree of your Lord.

019:071 Sherali       And there is not one of you but will come to it. This is an absolute decree of thy Lord.

019:071 Yusufali     Not one of you but will pass over it: this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.

019:072

019:072 Khan          Then We shall save those who use to fear Allah and were dutiful to Him. And We shall leave the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) therein (humbled) to their knees (in Hell).

019:072 Maulana     And We shall deliver those who guard against evil, and leave the wrongdoers therein on their knees.

019:072 Pickthal      Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doers crouching there.

019:072 Rashad       Then we rescue the righteous, and leave the transgressors in it, humiliated.

019:072 Sarwar       We will save the pious ones from the hell fire and leave the unjust people therein in crowded groups.

019:072 Shakir        And We will deliver those who guarded (against evil), and We will leave the unjust therein on their knees.

019:072 Sherali       And WE shall save the righteous, and shall leave the wrongdoers therein, on their knees .

019:072 Yusufali     But We shall save those who guarded against evil, and We shall leave the wrong-doers therein, (humbled) to their knees.

019:073

019:073 Khan          And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve (the rich and strong among the pagans of Quraish who live a life of luxury) say to those who believe (the weak, poor companions of Prophet Muhammad SAW who have a hard life): "Which of the two groups (i.e. believers and disbelievers) is best in (point of) position and as regards station (place of council for consultation)."

019:073 Maulana     And when our clear messages are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two parties is better in position and better in assembly?

019:073 Pickthal      And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army?

019:073 Rashad       When our revelations are recited to them, clearly, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of us is more prosperous? Which of us is in the majority?"

019:073 Sarwar       When Our revelations are recited to them, the unbelievers say to the faithful ones, "Which of us is more prosperous?".

019:073 Shakir        And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two parties is best in abiding and best in assembly?

019:073 Sherali       And when OUR manifest Signs are recited unto them, the disbelievers say to the believers, `Tell us, which of the two parties is better in respect of position and is more impressive in respect of companions?'

019:073 Yusufali     When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say to those who believe, "Which of the two sides is best in point of position? Which makes the best show in council?”

019:074

019:074 Khan          And how many a generation (past nations) have We destroyed before them, who were better in wealth, goods and outward appearance?

019:074 Maulana     And how many a generation have We destroyed before them, who had better possessions and appearance!

019:074 Pickthal      How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!

019:074 Rashad       Many a generation have we annihilated before them; they were more powerful, and more prosperous.

019:074 Sarwar       How many generations of greater prosperity and splendor have We destroyed before them?

019:074 Shakir        And how many of the generations have We destroyed before them who were better in respect of goods and outward appearance!

019:074 Sherali       And how many a generation have WE destroyed before them, who  were better off than these in wealth and better in outward show.

019:074 Yusufali     But how many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?

019:075

019:075 Khan          Say (O Muhammad SAW) whoever is in error, the Most Beneficent (Allah) will extend (the rope) to him, until, when they see that which they were promised, either the torment or the Hour, they will come to know who is worst in position, and who is weaker in forces. [This is the answer for the Verse No.19:73]

019:075 Maulana     Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will prolong his length of days; until they see what they were threatened with, either the punishment or the Hour. Then they will know who is worse in position and weaker in forces.

019:075 Pickthal      Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will verily prolong his span of life until, when they behold that which they were promised, whether it be punishment (in the world), or the Hour (of doom), they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as an army.

019:075 Rashad       Say, "Those who choose to go astray, the Most Gracious will lead them on, until they see what is promised for them - either the retribution or the Hour. That is when they find out who really is worse off, and weaker in power."

019:075 Sarwar       (Muhammad), tell them, "The Beneficent God gives respite to those who have gone astray only until they face the torment with which they were threatened or to the Day of Judgment. Then they will find out who will have the most miserable place and the weakest forces.

019:075 Shakir        Say: As for him who remains in error, the Beneficent Allah will surely prolong his length of days, until they see what they were threatened with, either the punishment or the hour; then they shall know who is in more evil plight and weaker in forces

019:075 Sherali       Say, `The Gracious God grants those, who are in error, respite for a time until, when they will see that with which they are threatened - whether it be punishment or the final Hour - they will realize who is worse in respect of position and weaker in forces.'

019:075 Yusufali     Say: "If any men go astray, (Allah) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them, until, when they see the warning of Allah (being fulfilled) - either in punishment or in (the approach of) the Hour,- they will at length realise who is worst in position, and (who) weakest in forces!

019:076

019:076 Khan          And Allah increases in guidance those who walk aright [true believers in the Oneness of Allah who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. And the righteous good deeds that last, are better with your Lord, for reward and better for resort.

019:076 Maulana     And Allah increases in guidance those who go aright. And deeds that endure, the good deeds, are, with thy Lord, better in recompense and yield better return.

019:076 Pickthal      Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort.

019:076 Rashad       GOD augments the guidance of those who choose to be guided. For the good deeds are eternally rewarded by your Lord, and bring far better returns.

019:076 Sarwar       God further enlightens those who seek guidance. To those who do charitable deeds which produce continuing benefits, your Lord will give a better reward and a better place in Paradise.

019:076 Shakir        And Allah increases in guidance those who go aright; and ever-abiding good works are with your Lord best in recompense and best in yielding fruit.

019:076 Sherali       And ALLAH increases in guidance those who follow guidance. And the good works that endure are best in the sight of thy Lord in respect of reward and in respect of the ultimate end.'

019:076 Yusufali     "And Allah doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things that endure, Good Deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual return.”

019:077

019:077 Khan          Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayat (this Qur'an and Muhammad SAW) and (yet) says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children [if I will be alive (again)],"

019:077 Maulana     Hast thou seen him who disbelieves in Our messages and says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children?

019:077 Pickthal      Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children?

019:077 Rashad       Have you noted the one who rejected our revelations then said, "I will be given wealth and children"?!

019:077 Sarwar       Note the words of the disbeliever, "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?".

019:077 Shakir        Have you, then, seen him who disbelieves in Our communications and says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children?

019:077 Sherali       Hast thou not seen him who disbelieves in OUR Signs, and says, `I shall certainly be given great wealth and children?'

019:077 Yusufali     Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?”

019:078

019:078 Khan          Has he known the unseen or has he taken a covenant from the Most Beneficent (Allah)?

019:078 Maulana     Has he gained knowledge of the unseen, or made a covenant with the Beneficent?

019:078 Pickthal      Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent?

019:078 Rashad       Has he seen the future? Has he taken such a pledge from the Most Gracious?

019:078 Sarwar       Has he the knowledge of the unseen or has the Beneficent God established such a binding agreement with Him?.

019:078 Shakir        Has he gained knowledge of the unseen, or made a covenant with the Beneficent Allah?

019:078 Sherali       Has he got knowledge of the unseen or has he taken a promise from the Gracious God?

019:078 Yusufali     Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (Allah) Most Gracious?

019:079

019:079 Khan          Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall increase his torment (in the Hell);

019:079 Maulana     By no means! We write down what he says, and We shall lengthen to him the length of the chastisement,

019:079 Pickthal      Nay, but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for him a span of torment.

019:079 Rashad       Indeed, we will record what he utters, then commit him to ever-increasing retribution.

019:079 Sarwar       Absolutely not, We will record his words and prolong his punishment.

019:079 Shakir        By no means! We write down what he says, and We will lengthen to him the length of the chastisement

019:079 Sherali       Indeed not !  WE shall note down what he says and shall prolong for him the punishment.

019:079 Yusufali     Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.

019:080

019:080 Khan          And We shall inherit from him (at his death) all that he talks of (i.e. wealth and children which We have bestowed upon him in this world), and he shall come to Us alone.

019:080 Maulana     And We shall inherit from him what he says, and he will come to Us alone.

019:080 Pickthal      And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake, and he will come unto Us, alone (without his wealth and children).

019:080 Rashad       Then we inherit everything he possessed, and he comes back to us all alone.

019:080 Sarwar       All that he speaks of will belong to Us, and he will come into Our presence all alone.

019:080 Shakir        And We will inherit of him what he says, and he shall come to Us alone.

019:080 Sherali       And WE shall inherit from him all that he talks of and he shall come to US all alone.

019:080 Yusufali     To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.

019:081

019:081 Khan          And they have taken (for worship) aliha (gods) besides Allah, that they might give them honour, power and glory (and also protect them from Allah's Punishment etc.).

019:081 Maulana     And they have taken gods besides Allah, that they should be to them a source of strength --

019:081 Pickthal      And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be a power for them.

019:081 Rashad       They worship beside GOD other gods that (they think) may be of help to them.

019:081 Sarwar       They have sought honor from other gods instead of God.

019:081 Shakir        And they have taken gods besides Allah, that they should be to them a source of strength;

019:081 Sherali       And they have taken other gods than ALLAH that they may be a source of honour and power for them.

019:081 Yusufali     And they have taken (for worship) gods other than Allah, to give them power and glory!

019:082

019:082 Khan          Nay, but they (the so-called gods) will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them (on the Day of Resurrection).

019:082 Maulana     By no means! They will soon deny their worshipping them, and be their adversaries.

019:082 Pickthal      Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents unto them.

019:082 Rashad       On the contrary, they will reject their idolatry, and will be their enemies.

019:082 Sarwar       In fact, they can have no honor; their gods will renounce their worship of idols and will turn against them.

019:082 Shakir        By no means! They shall soon deny their worshipping them, and they shall be adversaries to them.

019:082 Sherali       Not at all !  They will deny their worship, and will be their opponents.

019:082 Yusufali     Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.

019:083

019:083                   Section 6: False Doctrine of Sonship

019:083 Khan          See you not that We have sent the Shayatin (devils) against the disbelievers to push them to do evil.

019:083 Maulana     Seest thou not that We send the devils against the disbelievers, inciting them incitingly?

019:083 Pickthal      Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion?

019:083 Rashad       Do you not see how we unleash the devils upon the disbelievers to stir them up?

019:083 Sarwar       Do you not realize that We have sent Satan to incite the unbelievers to sin.

019:083 Shakir        Do you not see that We have sent the Shaitans against the unbelievers, inciting them by incitement?

019:083 Sherali       Seest thou not that WE send satans against the disbelievers, inciting them to acts of disobedience?

019:083 Yusufali     Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against the unbelievers, to incite them with fury?

019:084

019:084 Khan          So make no haste against them; We only count out to them a (limited) number (of the days of the life of this world and delay their term so that they may increase in evil and sins).

019:084 Maulana     So make no haste against them. We only number out to them a number (of days).

019:084 Pickthal      So make no haste against them (O Muhammad). We do but number unto them a sum (of days).

019:084 Rashad       Do not be impatient; we are preparing for them some preparation.

019:084 Sarwar       (Muhammad), exercise patience; We have given them respite only for an appointed time.

019:084 Shakir        Therefore be not in haste against them, We only number out to them a number (of days).

019:084 Sherali       So be thou not in haste against them; WE are keeping full account of their doings.

019:084 Yusufali     So make no haste against them, for We but count out to them a (limited) number (of days).

019:085

019:085 Khan          The Day We shall gather the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2) unto the Most Beneficent (Allah), like a delegate (presented before a king for honour).

019:085 Maulana     The day when We gather the dutiful to the Beneficent to receive honours,

019:085 Pickthal      On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the Beneficent, a goodly company.

019:085 Rashad       The day will come when we summon the righteous before the Most Gracious in a group.

019:085 Sarwar       On the Day of Judgment, when the pious people will be brought into the presence of the Beneficent God as the guests of honor

019:085 Shakir        The day on which We will gather those who guard (against evil) to the Beneficent Allah to receive honors

019:085 Sherali       Remember the day when WE shall gather the righteous before the Gracious God as honoured guest;

019:085 Yusufali     The day We shall gather the righteous to (Allah) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours,

019:086

019:086 Khan          And We shall drive the Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.) to Hell, in a thirsty state (like a thirsty herd driven down to water),

019:086 Maulana     And drive the guilty to hell, as thirsty beasts.

019:086 Pickthal      And drive the guilty unto hell, a weary herd,

019:086 Rashad       And we will herd the guilty to Hell, to be their eternal abode.

019:086 Sarwar       and the criminals will be driven and thrown into hell,

019:086 Shakir        And We will drive the guilty to hell thirsty

019:087

019:087 Khan          None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Beneficent (Allah).

019:087 Maulana     They have no power of intercession, save him who has made a covenant with the Beneficent.

019:087 Pickthal      They will have no power of intercession, save him who hath made a covenant with his Lord.

019:087 Rashad       No one will possess the power to intercede, except those who conform to the laws of the Most Gracious.

019:087 Sarwar       no one will be able to intercede for the others except those whom the Beneficent God has given authority.

019:088

019:088 Khan          And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son ['Iesa (Christ)], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)]."

019:088 Maulana     And they say: The Beneficent has taken to Himself a son.

019:088 Pickthal      And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son.

019:088 Rashad       They said, "The Most Gracious has begotten a son"!

019:088 Sarwar       They have said that the Beneficent God has given birth to a son.

019:088 Shakir        And they say: The Beneficent Allah has taken (to Himself) a son.

019:088 Sherali       And they say, `The Gracious God has taken unto Himself a son.'

019:088 Yusufali     They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

019:089

019:089 Khan          Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.

019:089 Maulana     Certainly you make an abominable assertion!

019:089 Pickthal      Assuredly ye utter a disastrous thing

019:089 Rashad       You have uttered a gross blasphemy.

019:089 Sarwar       This is certainly a monstrous lie!

019:089 Shakir        Certainly you have made an abominable assertion

019:089 Sherali       Assuredly, you have indeed uttered a most hideous thing.

019:089 Yusufali     Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

019:090

019:090 Khan          Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins,

019:090 Maulana     The heavens may almost be rent thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in pieces,

019:090 Pickthal      Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins,

019:090 Rashad       The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to tear asunder, and the mountains are about to crumble.

019:090 Sarwar       This would almost cause the heavens to rent apart, the earth to cleave asunder and the mountains to crumble down in fragments,

019:090 Shakir        The heavens may almost be rent thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in pieces,

019:090 Sherali       The heavens might well-nigh burst thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in pieces.

019:090 Yusufali     At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,

019:091

019:091 Khan          That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah).

019:091 Maulana     That they ascribe a son to the Beneficent!

019:091 Pickthal      That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son,

019:091 Rashad       Because they claim that the Most Gracious has begotten a son.

019:091 Sarwar       to ascribe a son to the Beneficent God.

019:091 Shakir        That they ascribe a son to the Beneficent Allah.

019:091 Sherali       Because they ascribe a son to the Gracious God.

019:091 Yusufali     That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.

019:092

019:092 Khan          But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children).

019:092 Maulana     And it is not worthy of the Beneficent that he should take to Himself a son.

019:092 Pickthal      When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son.

019:092 Rashad       It is not befitting the Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

019:092 Sarwar       The Beneficent God is too Exalted to have a son.

019:092 Shakir        And it is not worthy of the Beneficent Allah that He should take (to Himself) a son.

019:092 Sherali       It becomes not the Gracious God that HE should take unto Himself a son.

019:092 Yusufali     For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

019:093

019:093 Khan          There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave.

019:093 Maulana     There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes to the Beneficent as a servant.

019:094

019:094 Khan          Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting.

019:094 Maulana     Certainly He comprehends them, as has numbered them all.

019:094 Pickthal      Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with (right) numbering.

019:094 Rashad       He has encompassed them, and has counted them one by one.

019:094 Sarwar       He has counted and enumerated them one by one.

019:094 Shakir        Certainly He has a comprehensive knowledge of them and He has numbered them a (comprehensive) numbering.

019:094 Sherali       Verily, HE comprehends them by HIS knowledge and has numbered them all fully.

019:094 Yusufali     He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly.

019:095

019:095 Khan          And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, or protector or defender).

019:095 Maulana     And every one of them will come to Him on the day of Resurrection, alone.

019:095 Pickthal      And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone.

019:095 Rashad       All of them will come before Him on the Day of Resurrection as individuals.

019:095 Sarwar       Everyone on the Day of Judgment will individually come into the presence of God.

019:095 Shakir        And every one of them will come to Him on the day of resurrection alone.

019:095 Sherali       And each of them shall come to HIM on the Day of Resurrection, all alone.

019:095 Yusufali     And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment.

019:096

019:096 Khan          Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger (Muhammad SAW)] and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Beneficent (Allah) will bestow love for them (in the hearts of the believers).

019:096 Maulana     Those who believe and do good deeds, for them the Beneficent will surely bring about love.

019:096 Pickthal      Lo! those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint for them love.

019:096 Rashad       Surely, those who believe and lead a righteous life, the Most Gracious will shower them with love.

019:096 Sarwar       To the righteously striving believers God will grant love.

019:096 Shakir        Surely (as for) those who believe and do good deeds for t them will Allah bring about love.

019:096 Sherali       Those who believe and do good deeds - The Gracious God will create deep love for them.

019:096 Yusufali     On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (Allah) Most Gracious bestow love.

019:097

019:097 Khan          So We have made this (the Qur'an) easy in your own tongue (O Muhammad SAW), only that you may give glad tidings to the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - See V.2:2), and warn with it the Ludda (most quarrelsome) people.

019:097 Maulana     So We have made it easy in thy tongue only that thou shouldst give good news thereby to those who guard against evil, and shouldst warn thereby a contentious people.

019:097 Pickthal      And We make (this Scripture) easy in thy tongue, (O Muhammad) only that thou mayst bear good tidings therewith unto those who ward off (evil), and warn therewith the froward folk.
