Revealed At: MAKKA 021:000 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful 021:001 021:001 Part 17. 021:001 Section 1: Judgment approaches 021:001 Khan Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness. 021:001 Maulana Their reckoning draw nigh to men, and they turn away in heedlessness. 021:001 Pickthal Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness. 021:001 Rashad Fast approaching is the reckoning for the people, but they are oblivious, averse. 021:001 Sarwar The people's day of reckoning is drawing closer, yet they are heedlessly neglectful. 021:001 Shakir Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and in heedlessness are they turning aside. 021:001 Sherali Nigh unto men has drawn their reckoning, yet they turn away in heedlessness. 021:001 Yusufali Closer and closer to mankind comes their Reckoning: yet they heed not and they turn away. 021:002 021:002 Khan Comes not unto them an admonition (a chapter of the Qur'an) from their Lord as a recent revelation but they listen to it while they play, 021:002 Maulana There comes not to them a new Reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport, 021:002 Pickthal Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they play, 021:002 Rashad When a proof comes to them from their Lord, that is new, they listen to it heedlessly. 021:002 Sarwar Whenever a new revelation comes to them from their Lord, they listen to it in a playful manner, 021:002 Shakir There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport, 021:002 Sherali There comes not to them any new admonition from their Lord, but they listen to it while they make sport of it. 021:002 Yusufali Never comes (aught) to them of a renewed Message from their Lord, but they listen to it as in jest,- 021:003 021:003 Khan With their hearts occupied (with evil things) those who do wrong, conceal their private counsels, (saying): "Is this (Muhammad SAW) more than a human being like you? Will you submit to magic while you see it?" 021:003 Maulana Their hearts trifling. And they -- the wrongdoers -- counsel in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; will you then yield to enchantment while you see? 021:003 Pickthal With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong-doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it)? 021:003 Rashad Their minds are heedless. And the transgressors confer secretly: "Is he not just a human being like you? Would you accept the magic that is presented to you?" 021:003 Sarwar and their hearts are preoccupied with trivial matters. The unjust ones whisper to each other and say, "Is he (Muhammad) more than a mere mortal like you? How can you follow that which you know is only a magic?" 021:003 Shakir Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counsel together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while you see? 021:003 Sherali And their hearts are forgetful. And they - the wrongdoers - confer together in secret and say, `Is this man aught but a mortal like yourselves? Will you then yield to his sorcery with your eyes open?' 021:003 Yusufali Their hearts toying as with trifles. The wrong-doers conceal their private counsels, (saying), "Is this (one) more than a man like yourselves? Will ye go to witchcraft with your eyes open?” 021:004 021:004 Khan He (Muhammad SAW) said: "My Lord knows (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." 021:004 Maulana He said: My Lord knows (every) utterance in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearer, the Knower. 021:004 Pickthal He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Knower. 021:004 Rashad He said, "My Lord knows every thought in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient." 021:004 Sarwar The Lord said, "Tell them (Muhammad), 'My Lord knows all that is said in the heavens and the earth. He is All-hearing and All-knowing ". 021:004 Shakir He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing. 021:004 Sherali In reply to this the Prophet said, ``My Lord knows what is said in the heavens and the earth. And HE is All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.' 021:004 Yusufali Say: "My Lord knoweth (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth: He is the One that heareth and knoweth (all things).” 021:005 021:005 Khan Nay, they say:"These (revelations of the Qur'an which are inspired to Muhammad SAW) are mixed up false dreams! Nay, he has invented it! Nay, he is a poet! Let him then bring us an Ayah (sign as a proof) like the ones (Prophets) that were sent before (with signs)!" 021:005 Maulana Nay, say they: Medleys of dreams! nay, he has forged it! nay, he is a poet! so let him bring to us a sign such as the former (prophets) were sent (with). 021:005 Pickthal Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were Allah's messengers) were sent (with portents). 021:005 Rashad They even said, "Hallucinations," "He made it up," and, "He is a poet. Let him show us a miracle like those of the previous messengers." 021:005 Sarwar They have said, "It, (the Quran), is only the result of some confused dreams. He is only a poet. He should show us some miracles, as the ancient Prophets had done." 021:005 Shakir Nay! say they: Medleys of dreams; nay! he has forged it; nay! he is a poet; so let him bring to us a sign as the former (prophets) were sent (with). 021:005 Sherali Nay, they say, `These are but confused dreams; nay, he has forged it himself: nay, he is but a poet. Let him then bring us a Sign just as the former Prophets were sent with Signs.' 021:005 Yusufali "Nay," they say, "(these are) medleys of dream! - Nay, He forged it! - Nay, He is (but) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to (Prophets) of old!” 021:006 021:006 Khan Not one of the towns (populations), of those which We destroyed, believed before them (though We sent them signs), will they then believe? 021:006 Maulana Not a town believed before them which We destroyed: will they then believe? 021:006 Pickthal Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe? 021:006 Rashad We never annihilated a believing community in the past. Are these people believers? 021:006 Sarwar The people of the town whom We had destroyed also had no faith. Will these people then believe in God?. 021:006 Shakir There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will they then believe? 021:006 Sherali No township, before them, which WE destroyed, ever believed. Would they then believe? 021:006 Yusufali (As to those) before them, not one of the populations which We destroyed believed: will these believe? 021:007 021:007 Khan And We sent not before you (O Muhammad SAW) but men to whom We inspired, so ask the people of the Reminder [Scriptures - the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel)] if you do not know. 021:007 Maulana And We sent not before thee any but men to whom We sent revelation; so ask the followers of the Reminder if you know not. 021:007 Pickthal And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men, whom We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not? 021:007 Rashad We did not send before you except men whom we inspired. Ask those who know the scripture, if you do not know. 021:007 Sarwar The messengers that We had sent before you were only men to whom We had given revelation. Ask the People of the Book if you do not know. 021:007 Shakir And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you do not 021:007 Sherali And WE sent none as Messengers before thee but men to whom WE sent revelations. So ask the people of the reminder, if you know not; 021:007 Yusufali Before thee, also, the messengers We sent were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: If ye realise this not, ask of those who possess the Message. 021:008 021:008 Khan And We did not create them (the Messengers, with) bodies that ate not food, nor were they immortals, 021:008 Maulana Nor did We give them bodies not eating food, nor did they abide. 021:008 Pickthal We gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortals. 021:008 Rashad We did not give them bodies that did not eat, nor were they immortal. 021:008 Sarwar We had not made them such bodies that would not eat any food nor were they immortal. 021:008 Shakir And We did not make them bodies not eating the food, and they were not to abide (forever). 021:008 Sherali Nor did WE give them bodies that ate not food, neither were they to live forever. 021:008 Yusufali Nor did We give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they exempt from death. 021:009 021:009 Khan Then We fulfilled to them the promise, and We saved them and those whom We willed, but We destroyed Al-Musrifun (i.e. extravagants in oppression, polytheism and in sin). 021:009 Maulana Then We made Our promise good to them; so We delivered them and whom We pleased, and We destroyed the extravagant. 021:009 Pickthal Then we fulfilled the promise unto them. So we delivered them and whom We would, and We destroyed the prodigals. 021:009 Rashad We fulfilled our promise to them; we saved them together with whomever we willed, and annihilated the transgressors. 021:009 Sarwar Our promise to them came true and We saved them and those whom We wanted, but destroyed the unjust people. 021:009 Shakir Then We made Our promise good to them, so We delivered them and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the ex 021:009 Sherali Then WE fulfilled to them Our promise; and WE saved them and those whom WE pleased; and WE destroyed the transgressors. 021:009 Yusufali In the end We fulfilled to them Our Promise, and We saved them and those whom We pleased, but We destroyed those who transgressed beyond bounds. 021:010 021:010 Khan Indeed, We have sent down for you (O mankind) a Book, (the Qur'an) in which there is Dhikrukum, (your Reminder or an honour for you i.e. honour for the one who follows the teaching of the Qur'an and acts on its orders). Will you not then understand? 021:010 Maulana Certainly We have revealed to you a Book which will give you eminence. Do you not then understand? 021:010 Pickthal Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder. Have ye then no sense? 021:010 Rashad We have sent down to you a scripture containing your message. Do you not understand? 021:010 Sarwar We have sent a Book, (the Quran), which is an honor for you. Will you then not understand?. 021:010 Shakir Certainly We have revealed to you a Book in which is your good remembrance; what! do you not then understand? 021:010 Sherali WE have now sent down to you a Book which makes provision for your eminence; will you not then understand? 021:010 Yusufali We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you: will ye not then understand? 021:011 021:011 Section 2: Truth has always Triumphed 021:011 Khan How many a town (community), that were wrong- doers, have We destroyed, and raised up after them another people! 021:011 Maulana And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it another people! 021:011 Pickthal How many a community that dealt unjustly have We shattered, and raised up after them another folk! 021:011 Rashad Many a community we terminated because of their transgression, and we substituted other people in their place. 021:011 Sarwar How many unjust towns did We destroy and replace them with other nations?. 021:011 Shakir And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it another people! 021:011 Sherali And how many a township that acted wrongfully have WE utterly destroyed, and raised up after it another people. 021:011 Yusufali How many were the populations We utterly destroyed because of their iniquities, setting up in their places other peoples? 021:012 021:012 Khan Then, when they perceived (saw) Our Torment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it. 021:012 Maulana So when they felt Our might, lo! they began to flee from it. 021:012 Pickthal And, when they felt Our might, behold them fleeing from it! 021:012 Rashad When our requital came to pass, they started to run. 021:012 Sarwar When they found Our torment approaching them they started to run away from the town. 021:012 Shakir So when they felt Our punishment, lo! they began to fly 021:012 Sherali And when they perceived OUR punishment, lo ! they began to flee from it. 021:012 Yusufali Yet, when they felt Our Punishment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it. 021:013 021:013 Khan Flee not, but return to that wherein you lived a luxurious life, and to your homes, in order that you may be questioned. 021:013 Maulana Flee not and return to the easy lives which you led, and to your dwellings, that you may be questioned. 021:013 Pickthal (But it was said unto them): Flee not, but return to that (existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings, that ye may be questioned. 021:013 Rashad Do not run, and come back to your luxuries and your mansions, for you must be held accountable. 021:013 Sarwar We told them, "Do not run away. Come back to your luxuries and your houses so that you can be questioned". 021:013 Shakir Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made to lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will be questioned. 021:013 Sherali Thereupon WE said, `Flee not, but return to the luxuries in which you exulted, and to your dwellings that you might be questioned about your conduct.' 021:013 Yusufali Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account. 021:014 021:014 Khan They cried: "Woe to us! Certainly! We have been Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.)." 021:014 Maulana They said: O woe to us! Surely we were unjust. 021:014 Pickthal They cried: Alas for us! we were wrong-doers. 021:014 Rashad They said, "Woe to us. We were really wicked." 021:014 Sarwar They said, "Woe to us! We have been unjust". 021:014 Shakir They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust. 021:014 Sherali They said, `Alas for us, we were indeed wrongdoers !' 021:014 Yusufali They said: "Ah! woe to us! We were indeed wrong-doers!" 021:015 021:015 Khan And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is reaped, extinct (dead). 021:015 Maulana And this cry of theirs ceased not till We made them cut off, extinct. 021:015 Pickthal And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped corn, extinct. 021:015 Rashad This continued to be their proclamation, until we completely wiped them out. 021:015 Sarwar Such was what they continued to say until We mowed them down and made them completely extinct. 021:015 Shakir And this ceased not to be their cry till We made them cut 021:015 Sherali And this ceased not to be their cry till WE made them like a mown down field, extinct. 021:015 Yusufali And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is mown, as ashes silent and quenched. 021:016 021:016 Khan We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for a (mere) play. 021:016 Maulana And We created not the heaven and the earth and what is between them for sport. 021:016 Pickthal We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play. 021:016 Rashad We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them just for amusement. 021:016 Sarwar We did not create the heavens and the earth just for fun. 021:016 Shakir And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them for sport. 021:016 Sherali And WE created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between the two in sport. 021:016 Yusufali Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between! 021:017 021:017 Khan Had We intended to take a pastime (i.e. a wife or a son, etc.), We could surely have taken it from Us, if We were going to do (that). 021:017 Maulana Had We wished to take a pastime, We would have taken it from before Ourselves; by no means would We do (so). 021:017 Pickthal If We had wished to find a pastime, We could have found it in Our presence - if We ever did. 021:017 Rashad If we needed amusement, we could have initiated it without any of this, if that is what we wanted to do. 021:017 Sarwar Had We wanted to play games, We could have certainly done so with things at hand. 021:017 Shakir Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made it from before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it). 021:017 Sherali Had WE wished to find a pastime, WE would, surely, have found it in what is with US, if at all WE were to do such a thing. 021:017 Yusufali If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing)! 021:018 021:018 Khan Nay, We fling (send down) the truth (this Qur'an) against the falsehood (disbelief), so it destroys it, and behold, it (falsehood) is vanished. And woe to you for that (lie) which you ascribe (to Us) (against Allah by uttering that Allah has a wife and a son). 021:018 Maulana Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, so it knocks out its brains, and lo! it vanishes. And woe to you for what you describe! 021:018 Pickthal Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him). 021:018 Rashad Instead, it is our plan to support the truth against falsehood, in order to defeat it. Woe to you for the utterances you utter. 021:018 Sarwar We bring forward the Truth to crush and destroy falsehood; it is doomed to be banished. Woe to you for your way of thinking about God! 021:018 Shakir Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes; and woe to you for what you describe; 021:018 Sherali Nay, WE hurl the truth at falsehood, and it breaks its head, and lo ! it perishes. And woe to you for that which you ascribe to ALLAH. 021:018 Yusufali Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us). 021:019 021:019 Khan To Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and on earth. And those who are near Him (i.e. the angels) are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they weary (of His worship). 021:019 Maulana And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who are with Him are not too proud to serve Him, nor are they weary. 021:019 Pickthal Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who dwell in His presence are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they weary; 021:019 Rashad To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth, and those at Him are never too arrogant to worship Him, nor do they ever waver. 021:019 Sarwar To Him belongs all those who are in the heavens and the earth. Those who are closer to Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they get tired of worshipping. 021:019 Shakir And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; and those who are with Him are not proud to serve Him, nor do they grow weary. 021:019 Sherali To HIM belongs whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who are in HIS presence do not disdain to worship HIM, nor do they weary of it; 021:019 Yusufali To Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth: Even those who are in His (very) Presence are not too proud to serve Him, nor are they (ever) weary (of His service): 021:020 021:020 Khan They (i.e. the angels) glorify His Praises night and day, (and) they never slacken (to do so). 021:020 Maulana They glorify (Him) night and day: they flag not. 021:020 Pickthal They glorify (Him) night and day; they flag not. 021:020 Rashad They glorify night and day, without ever tiring. 021:020 Sarwar They glorify Him day and night without fail. 021:020 Shakir They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid. 021:020 Sherali They glorify HIM night and day; and they flag not. 021:020 Yusufali They celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever flag or intermit. 021:021 021:021 Khan Or have they taken (for worship) aliha (gods) from the earth who raise the dead? 021:021 Maulana Or have they taken gods from the earth who give life? 021:021 Pickthal Or have they chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead? 021:021 Rashad Have they found gods on earth who can create? 021:021 Sarwar Have they chosen deities from earth? Can such deities give life to anyone?. 021:021 Shakir Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise (the dead). 021:021 Sherali Have they taken gods from the earth who raise the dead? 021:021 Yusufali Or have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can raise (the dead)? 021:022 021:022 Khan Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) gods besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above what they attribute to Him! 021:022 Maulana If there were in them gods besides Allah, they would both have been in disorder. So glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, being above what they describe! 021:022 Pickthal If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him). 021:022 Rashad If there were in them (the heavens and the earth) other gods beside GOD, there would have been chaos. Glory be to GOD; the Lord with absolute authority. He is high above their claims. 021:022 Sarwar Had there been other deities in the heavens and the earth besides God, both the heavens and the earth would have been destroyed. God, the Lord of the Throne, is too Glorious to be as they think He is. 021:022 Shakir If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder; therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, above what they attribute (to Him). 021:022 Sherali If there had been in the heavens and the earth other gods beside ALLAH, then surely both would have gone to ruin. Glorified then be ALLAH, the Lord of the Throne, far above what they attribute to HIM. 021:022 Yusufali If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him! 021:023 021:023 Khan He cannot be questioned as to what He does, while they will be questioned. 021:023 Maulana He cannot be questioned as to what He does, and they will be questioned. 021:023 Pickthal He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth, but they will be questioned. 021:023 Rashad He is never to be asked about anything He does, while all others are questioned. 021:023 Sarwar He will not be questioned about anything He does, but all people will be questioned about their deeds. 021:023 Shakir He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and they shall be questioned. 021:023 Sherali HE cannot be questioned as to what HE does, but they will be questioned. 021:023 Yusufali He cannot be questioned for His acts, but they will be questioned (for theirs). 021:024 021:024 Khan Or have they taken for worship (other) aliha (gods) besides Him? Say: "Bring your proof:" This (the Qur'an) is the Reminder for those with me and the Reminder for those before me. But most of them know not the Truth, so they are averse. 021:024 Maulana Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring your proof. This is the reminder of those with me and the reminder of those before me. Nay, most of them know not the Truth, so they turn away. 021:024 Pickthal Or have they chosen other gods beside Him? say: Bring your proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those before me, but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse. 021:024 Rashad Have they found other gods beside Him? Say, "Show me your proof. This is the message to my generation, consummating all previous messages." Indeed, most of them do not recognize the truth; this is why they are so hostile. 021:024 Sarwar Have they chosen other gods besides God? (Muhammad), ask them, "Show the proof (in support of such belief). This is (the Quran) which tells us about the (beliefs of the people) in my time and those who lived before me." Most of them do not know. Moreover, the truth is that they neglect (the question of belief altogether). 021:024 Shakir Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring your proof; this is the reminder of those with me and the reminder of those before me. Nay! most of them do not know the truth, so they turn aside. 021:024 Sherali Have they taken gods besides HIM? Say, `Bring forth your proof. This Qur'an is a source of honour for those with me, and a source of honour for those before me.' Nay, most of them know not the truth, and so they turn away. 021:024 Yusufali Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides him? Say, "Bring your convincing proof: this is the Message of those with me and the Message of those before me." But most of them know not the Truth, and so turn away. 021:025 021:025 Khan And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad SAW) but We inspired him (saying): La ilaha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)." 021:025 Maulana And We sent no messenger before thee but We revealed to him that there is no God but Me, so serve Me. 021:025 Pickthal And We sent no messenger before thee but We inspired him, (saying): There is no Allah save Me (Allah), so worship Me. 021:025 Rashad We did not send any messenger before you except with the inspiration: "There is no god except Me; you shall worship Me alone." 021:025 Sarwar To all the Messengers that were sent before you We revealed that I am the only God to be worshipped. 021:025 Shakir And We did not send before you any messenger but We revealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serve Me. 021:025 Sherali And WE sent no Messenger before thee but WE revealed to him: `There is no god but I; so worship ME alone.' 021:025 Yusufali Not a messenger did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore worship and serve Me. 021:026 021:026 Khan And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or children)." Glory to Him! They [those whom they call children of Allah i.e. the angels, 'Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra), etc.], are but honoured slaves. 021:026 Maulana And they say: The Beneficent has taken to Himself a son. Glory be to Him! Nay, they are honoured servants -- 021:026 Pickthal And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He Glorified! Nay, but (those whom they call sons) are honoured slaves; 021:026 Rashad Yet, they said, "The Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Glory be to Him.
