Revealed At: MADINA 022:000 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful 022:001 022:001 Section 1: The Judgment 022:001 Khan O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgement) is a terrible thing. 022:001 Maulana O people, keep your duty to your Lord; surely the shock of the Hour is a grievous thing. 022:001 Pickthal O mankind! Fear your Lord. Lo! the earthquake of the Hour (of Doom) is a tremendous thing. 022:001 Rashad O people, you shall reverence your Lord, for the quaking of the Hour is something horrendous. 022:001 Sarwar People, have fear of your Lord; the quake (of the physical realm) at the Hour of Doom will be terribly violent. 022:001 Shakir O people! guard against (the punishment from) your Lord; surely the violence of the hour is a grievous thing. 022:001 Sherali O people, fear your Lord; Verily the earthquake of the Hour is a tremendous thing - 022:001 Yusufali O mankind! fear your Lord! for the convulsion of the Hour (of Judgment) will be a thing terrible! 022:002 022:002 Khan The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allah. 022:002 Maulana The day you see it, every woman giving suck will forget her suckling and every pregnant one will lay down her burden, and thou wilt see men as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the chastisement of Allah will be severe. 022:002 Pickthal On the day when ye behold it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling and every pregnant one will be delivered of her burden, and thou (Muhammad) wilt see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the Doom of Allah will be strong (upon them). 022:002 Rashad The day you witness it, even a nursing mother will discard her infant, and a pregnant woman will abort her fetus. You will see the people staggering, as if they are intoxicated, even though they are not intoxicated. This is because GOD's retribution is so awesome. 022:002 Sarwar When that hour comes, every breast-feeding mother will drop her baby out of fear and every pregnant female will cast off her burden. You will see the people behaving as though they were drunk, while, in fact, they are not drunk. They only will look such because of the severity of God's torment. 022:002 Shakir On the day when you shall see it, every woman giving suck shall quit in confusion what she suckled, and every pregnant woman shall lay down her burden, and you shall see men intoxicated, and they shall not be intoxicated but the chastisement of Allah will be severe. 022:002 Sherali On the day when you see it, every woman giving suck shall forget her suckling and every pregnant woman shall cast her burden; and thou shalt see men as they were drunken while they will not be drunken, but severe will indeed be the chastisement of ALLAH. 022:002 Yusufali The Day ye shall see it, every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling-babe, and every pregnant female shall drop her load (unformed): thou shalt see mankind as in a drunken riot, yet not drunk: but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah. 022:003 022:003 Khan And among mankind is he who disputes concerning Allah, without knowledge, and follows every rebellious (disobedient to Allah) Shaitan (devil) (devoid of each and every kind of good). 022:003 Maulana And among men is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge, and follows every rebellious devil -- 022:003 Pickthal Among mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah without knowledge, and followeth each froward devil; 022:003 Rashad Among the people, there are those who argue about GOD without knowledge, and follow every rebellious devil. 022:003 Sarwar Some people argue about God without knowledge and follow every rebellious devil. 022:003 Shakir And among men there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and follows every rebellious Shaitan; 022:003 Sherali And among men there are some who dispute about ALLAH without knowledge and follow every rebellious satan - 022:003 Yusufali And yet among men there are such as dispute about Allah, without knowledge, and follow every evil one obstinate in rebellion! 022:004 022:004 Khan For him (the devil) it is decreed that whosoever follows him, he will mislead him, and will drive him to the torment of the Fire. 022:004 Maulana For him it is written that whoever takes him for a friend, he will lead him astray and conduct him to the chastisement of the burning Fire. 022:004 Pickthal For him it is decreed that whoso taketh him for friend, he verily will mislead him and will guide him to the punishment of the Flame. 022:004 Rashad It is decreed that anyone who allies himself with him, he will mislead him and guide him to the agony of Hell. 022:004 Sarwar It has been decided that satan will mislead and submit anyone who establishes friendship with him to the torment of the burning fire. 022:004 Shakir Against him it is written down that whoever takes him for a friend, he shall lead him astray and conduct him to the chastisement of the burning fire. 022:004 Sherali Concerning whom it is decreed that whosoever makes friends with him, him he will lead astray and will guide to the torment of the Fire. 022:004 Yusufali About the (Evil One) it is decreed that whoever turns to him for friendship, him will he lead astray, and he will guide him to the Penalty of the Fire. 022:005 022:005 Khan O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh, some formed and some unformed (miscarriage), that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will). And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth). 022:005 Maulana O people, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then surely We created you from dust, then from a small life-germ, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, complete in make and incomplete, that We may make clear to you. And We cause what We please to remain in the wombs till an appointed time, then We bring you forth as babies, then that you may attain your maturity. And of you is he who is caused to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after knowledge he knows nothing. And thou seest the earth barren, but when We send down thereon water, it stirs and swells and brings forth a beautiful (growth) of every kind. 022:005 Pickthal O mankind! if ye are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that We may make (it) clear for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth as infants, then (give you growth) that ye attain your full strength. And among you there is he who dieth (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the most abject time of life, so that, after knowledge, he knoweth naught. And thou (Muhammad) seest the earth barren, but when We send down water thereon, it doth thrill and swell and put forth every lovely kind (of growth). 022:005 Rashad O people, if you have any doubt about resurrection, (remember that) we created you from dust, and subsequently from a tiny drop, which turns into a hanging (embryo), then it becomes a fetus that is given life or deemed lifeless. We thus clarify things for you. We settle in the wombs whatever we will for a predetermined period. We then bring you out as infants, then you reach maturity. While some of you die young, others live to the worst age, only to find out that no more knowledge can be attained beyond a certain limit. Also, you look at a land that is dead, then as soon as we shower it with water, it vibrates with life and grows all kinds of beautiful plants. 022:005 Sarwar People, if you have doubts about the Resurrection, you must know that We created you from clay that was turned into a living germ. This was developed into a clot of blood, which was made into a well formed and partly shapeless lump of flesh. This is how We show you that resurrection is not more difficult for Us than your creation. We cause whatever We want to stay in the womb for an appointed time, We then take you out of the womb as a baby, so that you may grow up and receive strength. Some of you may then die and others may grow to a very old age and lose your memory. You may see the earth as a barren land, but when we send rain, it starts to stir and swell and produce various pairs of attractive herbs. 022:005 Shakir O people! if you are in doubt about the raising, then surely We created you from dust, then from a small seed, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, complete in make and incomplete, that We may make clear to you; and We cause what We please to stay in the wombs till an appointed time, then We bring you forth as babies, then that you may attain your maturity; and of you is he who is caused to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know anything; and you see the earth sterile land, but when We send down on it the water, it stirs and swells and brings forth of every kind a beautiful herbage. 022:005 Sherali O people, if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then consider that WE have indeed created you from dust, then from a sperm drop, then from clotted blood, then from a lump of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that WE make Our power manifest to you. And WE cause what WE will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term; then WE bring you forth as babes; then WE rear you that you may attain to your age of full strength. And there are some of you who are caused to die in the normal course, and there are others among you are kept back till the worst part of life with the result that they know nothing after having had knowledge. And thou seest the earth lifeless, but when WE send down water thereon it stirs and swells and grows every kind of beauteous vegetation. 022:005 Yusufali O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs). 022:006 022:006 Khan That is because Allah, He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things. 022:006 Maulana That is because Allah, He is the Truth, and He gives life to the dead, and He is Possessor of power over all things, 022:006 Pickthal That is because Allah, He is the Truth and because He quickeneth the dead, and because He is Able to do all things; 022:006 Rashad This proves that GOD is the Truth, and that He revives the dead, and that He is Omnipotent. 022:006 Sarwar This is because God is the Supreme Truth who gives life to the dead and who has power over all things. 022:006 Shakir This is because Allah is the Truth and because He gives life to the dead and because He has power over all things 022:006 Sherali That is because ALLAH is Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining, and that it is HE Who brings the dead to life, and that HE has power over all things; 022:006 Yusufali This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over all things. 022:007 022:007 Khan And surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it, and certainly, Allah will resurrect those who are in the graves. 022:007 Maulana And the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it; and Allah will raise up those who are in the graves. 022:007 Pickthal And because the Hour will come, there is no doubt thereof; and because Allah will raise those who are in the graves. 022:007 Rashad And that the Hour is coming, no doubt about it, and that GOD resurrects those who are in the graves. 022:007 Sarwar There is no doubt about the coming of the Hour of Doom and that God will raise every one from their graves. 022:007 Shakir And because the hour is coming, there is no doubt about it; and because Allah shall raise up those who are in the graves. 022:007 Sherali And because the Hour will certainly come, there is no doubt about it, and because ALLAH will raise up those who are in the graves. 022:007 Yusufali And verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it, or about (the fact) that Allah will raise up all who are in the graves. 022:008 022:008 Khan And among men is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge or guidance, or a Book giving light (from Allah), 022:008 Maulana And among men is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge, and without guidance, and without an illuminating Book. 022:008 Pickthal And among mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah without knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving light, 022:008 Rashad Among the people there is the one who argues about GOD without knowledge, and without guidance, and without an enlightening scripture. 022:008 Sarwar Some people argue about God without knowledge, guidance, and an enlightening Book. 022:008 Shakir And among men there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and without guidance and without an illuminating book, 022:008 Sherali And among men is he who disputes concerning ALLAH without knowledge and without guidance and without an illuminating Book, 022:008 Yusufali Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah, without Knowledge, without Guidance, and without a Book of Enlightenment,- 022:009 022:009 Khan Bending his neck in pride (far astray from the Path of Allah), and leading (others) too (far) astray from the Path of Allah. For him there is disgrace in this worldly life, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire). 022:009 Maulana Turning away haughtily to lead men astray from the way of Allah. For him is disgrace in this world, and on the day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the punishment of burning. 022:009 Pickthal Turning away in pride to beguile (men) from the way of Allah. For him in this world is ignominy, and on the Day of Resurrection We make him taste the doom of burning. 022:009 Rashad Arrogantly he strives to divert the people from the path of GOD. He thus incurs humiliation in this life, and we commit him on the Day of Resurrection to the agony of burning. 022:009 Sarwar They turn away (from the Truth) to lead people away from the path of God. Their share in this world will be disgrace and on the Day of Judgment a burning torment. 022:009 Shakir Turning away haughtily that he may lead (others) astray from the way of Allah; for him is disgrace in this world, and on the day of resurrection We will make him taste the punishment of burning: 022:009 Sherali Turning his side disdainfully, that he may lead men astray from the way of ALLAH. For him is disgrace in this world; and on the Day of Resurrection WE shall make him taste the punishment of burning. 022:009 Yusufali (Disdainfully) bending his side, in order to lead (men) astray from the Path of Allah: for him there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of Judgment We shall make him taste the Penalty of burning (Fire). 022:010 022:010 Khan That is because of what your hands have sent forth, and verily, Allah is not unjust to (His) slaves. 022:010 Maulana This is for that which thy two hands have sent before, and Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants. 022:010 Pickthal (And unto him it will be said): This is for that which thy two hands have sent before, and because Allah is no oppressor of His slaves. 022:010 Rashad This is what your hands have sent ahead for you. GOD is never unjust towards the people. 022:010 Sarwar (They will be told), "This is the result of what your hands have wrought. God is certainly not unjust to His servants." 022:010 Shakir This is due to what your two hands have sent before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants. 022:010 Sherali This is because of what thy hands have sent on before, and ALLAH is not unjust to HIS servants. 022:010 Yusufali (It will be said): "This is because of the deeds which thy hands sent forth, for verily Allah is not unjust to His servants. 022:011 022:011 Section 2: Certainty of Divine Help 022:011 Khan And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss. 022:011 Maulana And among men is he who serves Allah, (standing) on the verge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflicts him he turns back headlong. He loses this world and the Hereafter. That is a manifest loss. 022:011 Pickthal And among mankind is he who worshippeth Allah upon a narrow marge so that if good befalleth him he is content therewith, but if a trial befalleth him, he falleth away utterly. He loseth both the world and the Hereafter. That is the sheer loss. 022:011 Rashad Among the people there is the one who worships GOD conditionally. If things go his way, he is content. But if some adversity befalls him, he makes an about-face. Thus, he loses both this life and the Hereafter. Such is the real loss. 022:011 Sarwar Some people worship God to achieve worldly gains. They are confident when they are prosperous, but when they face hardships they turn away from (worship). They are lost in this life and will be lost in the life to come. Such loss is indeed destructive. 022:011 Shakir And among men is he who serves Allah (standing) on the verge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflict him he turns back headlong; he loses this world as well as the hereafter; that is a manifest loss. 022:011 Sherali And among men is he who serves ALLAH, standing, as it were, on the verge. Then if good befalls him, he is content therewith; and if there befalls him a trial, he returns to his former way. He loses both this world as well as the Hereafter. That indeed is a manifest loss. 022:011 Yusufali There are among men some who serve Allah, as it were, on the verge: if good befalls them, they are, therewith, well content; but if a trial comes to them, they turn on their faces: they lose both this world and the Hereafter: that is loss for all to see! 022:012 022:012 Khan He calls besides Allah unto that which hurts him not, nor profits him. That is a straying far away. 022:012 Maulana He calls besides Allah on that which harms him not, nor benefits him; that is straying far. 022:012 Pickthal He calleth, beside Allah, unto that which hurteth him not nor benefiteth him. That is the far error. 022:012 Rashad He idolizes beside GOD what possesses no power to harm him or benefit him; such is the real straying. 022:012 Sarwar They worship things instead of God which can neither harm them nor benefit them. This is indeed to stray far away from the right path. 022:012 Shakir He calls besides Allah upon that which does not harm him and that which does not profit him, that is the great straying. 022:012 Sherali He calls beside ALLAH on that which can neither harm him nor benefit him. That is indeed straying far away. 022:012 Yusufali They call on such deities, besides Allah, as can neither hurt nor profit them: that is straying far indeed (from the Way)! 022:013 022:013 Khan He calls unto him whose harm is nearer than his profit; certainly, and evil Maula (patron) and certainly an evil friend! 022:013 Maulana He calls on him whose harm is nearer than his benefit. Certainly an evil guardian and an evil associate! 022:013 Pickthal He calleth unto him whose harm is nearer than his benefit; verily an evil patron and verily an evil friend! 022:013 Rashad He idolizes what is more apt to harm him than benefit him. What a miserable lord! What a miserable companion! 022:013 Sarwar Their worship of such things, in which there is no hope for any benefit, can only harm them. How terrible is such a guardian and companion! 022:013 Shakir He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his profit; evil certainly is the guardian and evil certainly is the associate. 022:013 Sherali He calls on him whose harm is much more likely than his benefit. Evil indeed is the patron, and evil indeed the associate. 022:013 Yusufali (Perhaps) they call on one whose hurt is nearer than his profit: evil, indeed, is the patron, and evil the companion (or help)! 022:014 022:014 Khan Truly, Allah will admit those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds (according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah) to Gardens underneath which rivers flow (in Paradise). Verily, Allah does what He wills. 022:014 Maulana Surely Allah causes those who believe and do good deeds to enter Gardens wherein flow rivers. Allah indeed does what He pleases. 022:014 Pickthal Lo! Allah causeth those who believe and do good works to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Lo! Allah doth what He intendeth. 022:014 Rashad GOD admits those who believe and lead a righteous life into gardens with flowing streams. Everything is in accordance with GOD's will. 022:014 Sarwar God will admit the righteously striving believers to the gardens wherein streams flow. God has all the power to do whatever He wants. 022:014 Shakir Surely Allah will cause those who believe and do good deeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, surely Allah does what He pleases. 022:014 Sherali Verily, ALLAH will cause those who believe and do good deeds to enter Gardens beneath which streams flow; surely, ALLAH does what HE pleases. 022:014 Yusufali Verily Allah will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds, to Gardens, beneath which rivers flow: for Allah carries out all that He plans. 022:015 022:015 Khan Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him (Muhammad SAW) in this world and in the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and let him strangle himself. Then let him see whether his plan will remove that whereat he rages! 022:015 Maulana Whoever thinks that Allah will not assist him in this life and the Hereafter, let him raise (himself) by some means to the heaven, then let him cut (it) off, then let him see if his plan will take away that at which he is enraged. 022:015 Pickthal Whoso is wont to think (through envy) that Allah will not give him (Muhammad) victory in the world and the Hereafter (and is enraged at the thought of his victory), let him stretch a rope up to the roof (of his dwelling), and let him hang himself. Then let him see whether his strategy dispelleth that whereat he rageth!. 022:015 Rashad If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him. 022:015 Sarwar Those who thought that God would never grant victory to (Muhammad), in this world nor in the life hereafter (and now that he is victorious) should hang themselves by the necks from the ceiling, then cut the rope and see if this can do away with what has enraged them. 022:015 Shakir Whoever thinks that Allah will not assist him in this life and the hereafter, let him stretch a rope to the ceiling, then let him cut (it) off, then let him see if his struggle will take away that at which he is enraged. 022:015 Sherali Whoso thinks that ALLAH will not help him in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch a rope to heaven, and let him cut it off. Then let him see if his device can remove that which enrages him. 022:015 Yusufali If any think that Allah will not help him (His Messenger) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)! 022:016 022:016 Khan Thus have We sent it (this Qur'an) down (to Muhammad SAW) as clear signs, evidences and proofs, and surely, Allah guides whom He wills. 022:016 Maulana And thus have We revealed it, clear arguments, and Allah guides whom He will. 022:016 Pickthal Thus We reveal it as plain revelations, and verily Allah guideth whom He will. 022:016 Rashad We have thus revealed clear revelations herein, then GOD guides whoever wills (to be guided). 022:016 Sarwar We have revealed the Quran which contains authoritative verses. God guides only those whom He wants. 022:016 Shakir And thus have We revealed it, being clear arguments, and because Allah guides whom He intends. 022:016 Sherali And thus have WE sent down the Qur'an as manifest Signs, and surely ALLAH guides whom HE desires. 022:016 Yusufali Thus have We sent down Clear Signs; and verily Allah doth guide whom He will! 022:017 022:017 Khan Verily, those who believe (in Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad SAW), and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who worship others besides Allah, truly, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Verily! Allah is Witness over all things. 022:017 Maulana Those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and the polytheists -- surely Allah will decide between them on the day of Resurrection. Surely Allah is Witness over all things. 022:017 Pickthal Lo! those who believe (this revelation), and those who are Jews, and the Sabaeans and the Christians and the Magians and the idolaters - Lo! Allah will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection. Lo! Allah is Witness over all things. 022:017 Rashad Those who believe, those who are Jewish, the converts, the Christians, the Zoroastrians, and the idol worshipers, GOD is the One who will judge among them on the Day of Resurrection. GOD witnesses all things. 022:017 Sarwar On the Day of Judgment, God will make truth and falsehood clearly distinct from each other to the believers, the Jews, the Sabeans, the Christian, the Zoroastrians, and the Pagans on the Day of Judgment. God is a Witness to all things. 022:017 Shakir Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associate (others with Allah)-- surely Allah will decide between them on the day of resurrection; surely Allah is a witness over all things. 022:017 Sherali As to those who believe, and the Jews and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians and the idolaters; verily, ALLAH will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, ALLAH watches over all things. 022:017 Yusufali Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians, Christians, Magians, and Polytheists,- Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment: for Allah is witness of all things. 022:018 022:018 Khan See you not that to Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and Ad-Dawab (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), and many of mankind? But there are many (men) on whom the punishment is justified. And whomsoever Allah disgraces, none can honour him. Verily! Allah does what He wills. 022:018 Maulana Seest thou not that to Allah makes submission whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the starts, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people? And many there are to whom chastisement is due. And he whom Allah abases, none can give him honour. Surely Allah does what He pleases. 022:018 Pickthal Hast thou not seen that unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the hills, and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind, while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due. He whom Allah scorneth, there is none to give him honour. Lo! Allah doeth what He will. 022:018 Rashad Do you not realize that to GOD prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many people? Many others among the people are committed to doom. Whomever GOD shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance with GOD's will. 022:018 Sarwar Have you not considered that those in the heavens and the earth, the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the mountains, the trees, the animals, and many people, all bow down to God? But many people deserve His torment. No one can give honor to whomever God has insulted. God has all the power to do what He wants. 022:018 Shakir Do you not see that Allah is He, Whom obeys whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people; and many there are against whom chastisement has become necessary; and whomsoever Allah abases, there is none who can make him honorable; surely Allah does what He pleases. 022:018 Sherali Hast thou not seen that to ALLAH submits whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind?
