036:007

036:007 Khan          Indeed the Word (of punishment) has proved true against most of them, so they will not believe.

036:007 Maulana     The word has indeed proved true of most of them, so they believe not.

036:007 Pickthal      Already hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not.

036:007 Rashad       It has been predetermined that most of them do not believe.

036:008

036:008 Khan          Verily! We have put on their necks iron collars reaching to chins, so that their heads are forced up.

036:008 Maulana     Surely We have placed on their necks chains reaching up to the chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.

036:008 Pickthal      Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff-necked.

036:008 Rashad       For we place around their necks shackles, up to their chins. Consequently, they become locked in their disbelief.

036:008 Sarwar       We have enchained their necks up to their chins. Thus, they cannot bend their heads (to find their way).

036:008 Shakir        Surely We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft.

036:008 Sherali       WE have put round their necks collars reaching unto their chins, so that their heads are raised up.

036:008 Yusufali     We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).

036:009 Maulana     And We have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, thus We have covered them, so that they see not.

036:009 Pickthal      And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.

036:009 Rashad       And we place a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, and thus, we veil them; they cannot see.

036:010

036:010 Khan          It is the same to them whether you warn them or you warn them not, they will not believe.

036:010 Maulana     And it is alike to them whether thou warn them or warn them not -- they believe not.

036:010 Pickthal      Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not.

036:010 Rashad       It is the same whether you warn them or not, they cannot believe.

036:011

036:011 Khan          You can only warn him who follows the Reminder (the Qur'an), and fears the Most Beneficent (Allah) unseen. Bear you to such one the glad tidings of forgiveness, and a generous reward (i.e. Paradise).

036:011 Maulana     Thou canst warn him only who follows the Reminder and fears the Beneficent in secret; so give him good news of forgiveness and a generous reward.

036:011 Pickthal      Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward.

036:011 Rashad       You will be heeded only by those who uphold this message, and reverence the Most Gracious - even when alone in their privacy. Give them good news of forgiveness and a generous recompense.

036:011 Sarwar       You should only warn those who follow the Quran and have fear of the Beneficent God without seeing Him. Give them the glad news of their receiving forgiveness and an honorable reward (from God).

036:011 Shakir        You can only warn him who follows the reminder and fears the Beneficent Allah in secret; so announce to him forgiveness and an honorable reward.

036:011 Sherali       Thou canst warn only him who would follow the Reminder and fear the Gracious God in secret. So give him the glad tidings of forgiveness and a noble reward.

036:011 Yusufali     Thou canst but admonish such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen: give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous.

036:012

036:012 Khan          Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them), and their traces [their footsteps and walking on the earth with their legs to the mosques for the five compulsory congregational prayers, Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) and all other good and evil they did, and that which they leave behind], and all things We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book.

036:012 Maulana     Surely We give life to the dead, and We write down that which they send before and their footprints, and We record everything in a clear writing.

036:012 Pickthal      Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register.

036:012 Rashad       We will certainly revive the dead, and we have recorded everything they have done in this life, as well as the consequences that continue after their death. Everything we have counted in a profound record.

036:012 Sarwar       It is We who bring the dead to life and records the deeds of human beings and their consequences (of continual effects). We keep everything recorded in an illustrious Book.

036:012 Shakir        Surely We give life to the dead, and We write down what they have sent before and their footprints, and We have recorded everything in a clear writing.

036:012 Sherali       Surely, WE alone give life to the dead, and WE write down that which they send forward and that which they leave behind; and all things WE have recorded in a clear Book.

036:012 Yusufali     Verily We shall give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before and that which they leave behind, and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence).

036:013 Khan          And put forward to them a similitude; the (story of the) dwellers of the town, [It is said that the town was Antioch (Antakiya)], when there came Messengers to them.

036:013 Maulana     And set out to them a parable of the people of the town, when apostles came to it.

036:013 Pickthal      Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them;

036:013 Rashad       Cite for them the example of people in a community that received the messengers.

036:014

036:014 Khan          When We sent to them two Messengers, they belied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: "Verily! We have been sent to you as Messengers."

036:014 Maulana     When We sent to them two, they rejected them both; then We strengthened (them) with a third, so they said: Surely we are sent to you.

036:014 Pickthal      When We sent unto them twain, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto you.

036:014 Rashad       When we sent to them two (messengers), they disbelieved them. We then supported them by a third. They said, "We are (God's) messengers to you."

036:014 Sarwar       We sent them two Messengers whom they rejected. We supported them by sending a third one who told the people, "We are the Messengers (of God) who have been sent to you".

036:014 Shakir        When We sent to them two, they rejected both of them, then We strengthened (them) with a third, so they said: Surely we are messengers to you.

036:014 Sherali       When WE sent to them two Messengers they rejected them both; so WE strengthened them by a third; and they said, `Verily, we have been sent to you as Messengers.'

036:014 Yusufali     When We (first) sent to them two messengers, they rejected them: But We strengthened them with a third: they said, "Truly, we have been sent on a mission to you.”

036:015

036:015 Khan          They (people of the town) said: "You are only human beings like ourselves, and the Most Beneficent (Allah) has revealed nothing, you are only telling lies."

036:015 Maulana     They said: You are only mortals like ourselves, nor has the Beneficent revealed anything -- you only lie.

036:015 Pickthal      They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie!

036:015 Rashad       They said, "You are no more than human beings like us. The Most Gracious did not send down anything. You are liars."

036:015 Sarwar       The people said, "You are mere mortals like us and the Beneficent God has sent nothing. You are only liars."

036:015 Shakir        They said: You are naught but mortals like ourselves, nor has the Beneficent Allah revealed anything; you only lie.

036:015 Sherali       They replied, `You are only human beings like us and the Gracious God has not revealed anything. You are only lying.'

036:015 Yusufali     The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (Allah) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: ye do nothing but lie.”

036:016

036:016 Khan          The Messengers said: "Our Lord knows that we have been sent as Messengers to you,

036:016 Maulana     They said: Our Lord knows that we are surely sent to you.

036:016 Pickthal      They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you,

036:016 Rashad       They said, "Our Lord knows that we have been sent to you.

036:016 Sarwar       They said, "Our Lord knows that We are Messengers

036:016 Shakir        They said: Our Lord knows that we are most surely messengers to you.

036:016 Sherali       They said, `Our Lord knows that we are, indeed HIS Messengers to you;

036:016 Yusufali     They said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you:

036:017

036:017 Khan          "And our duty is only to convey plainly (the Message)."

036:017 Maulana     And our duty is only a clear deliverance (of the message).

036:017 Pickthal      And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message).

036:017 Rashad       "Our sole mission is to deliver the message."

036:017 Sarwar       who have been sent to you. Our only duty is to preach clearly to you".

036:017 Shakir        And nothing devolves on us but a clear deliverance (of the message).

036:017 Sherali       `And our duty is only plain delivery of the Message.'

036:017 Yusufali     "And our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message."

036:018

036:018 Khan          They (people) said: "For us, we see an evil omen from you, if you cease not, we will surely stone you, and a painful torment will touch you from us."

036:018 Maulana     They said: Surely we augur evil from you. If you desist not, we will surely stone you, and a painful chastisement from us will certainly afflict you.

036:018 Pickthal      (The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and grievous torture will befall you at our hands.

036:018 Rashad       They said, "We consider you bad omens. Unless you refrain, we will surely stone you, or afflict you with painful retribution."

036:018 Sarwar       The people said, "We have ill omens about you. If you will not desist, we shall stone you and make you suffer a painful torment".

036:018 Shakir        They said: Surely we augur evil from you; if you do not desist, we will certainly stone you, and there shall certainly afflict vou a painful chastisement from us.

036:018 Sherali       The disbelievers said, `Surely, we augur evil fortune from you; if you desist not, we will, certainly, stone you, and a painful punishment will, surely, befall you at our hands.'

036:018 Yusufali     The (people) said: "for us, we augur an evil omen from you: if ye desist not, we will certainly stone you. And a grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us.”

036:019

036:019 Khan          They (Messengers) said: "Your evil omens be with you! (Do you call it "evil omen") because you are admonished? Nay, but you are a people Musrifun (transgressing all bounds by committing all kinds of great sins, and by disobeying Allah).

036:019 Maulana     They said: Your evil fortune is with you. What! If you are reminded! Nay, you are an extravagant people.

036:019 Pickthal      They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth)? Nay, but ye are froward folk!

036:019 Rashad       They said, "Your omen depends on your response, now that you have been reminded. Indeed, you are transgressing people."

036:019 Sarwar       The Messengers said, "This ill omen lies within yourselves. Will you then take heed? In fact, you are a transgressing people."

036:019 Shakir        They said: Your evil fortune is with you; what! if you are reminded! Nay, you are an extravagant people.

036:019 Sherali       The Messengers replied, `Your evil fortune is with your ownselves. Do you say this because you have been admonished?  Nay, you are a people transgressing all bounds.'

036:019 Yusufali     They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves: (deem ye this an evil omen). If ye are admonished? Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!”

036:020

036:020 Khan          And there came running from the farthest part of the town, a man, saying: "O my people! Obey the Messengers;

036:020 Maulana     And from the remote part of the city there came a man running. He said: O my people, follow the apostles.

036:020 Pickthal      And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent!

036:020 Rashad       A man came from the other end of the city, saying, "O my people, follow the messengers.

036:020 Sarwar       A man came running from the farthest part of the city saying, "My people, follow the Messengers.

036:020 Shakir        And from the remote part of the city there came a man running, he said: O my people! follow the messengers;

036:020 Sherali       And from the farthest part of the town there came a man running. He said, `O my People, follow the Messengers,

036:020 Yusufali     Then there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man, saying, "O my people! Obey the messengers:

036:021

036:021 Khan          "Obey those who ask no wages of you (for themselves), and who are rightly guided.

036:021 Maulana     Follow him who asks of you no reward, and they are on the right course.

036:021 Pickthal      Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided.

036:021 Rashad       "Follow those who do not ask you for any wage, and are guided.

036:021 Sarwar       Follow those who do not ask you for any reward and who are rightly guided.

036:021 Shakir        Follow him who does not ask you for reward, and they are the followers of the right course;

036:021 Sherali       `Follow those who ask of you no reward, and who are rightly guided.

036:021 Yusufali     "Obey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance.

036:022

036:022                   Part 23.

036:022 Khan          "And why should I not worship Him (Allah Alone) Who has created me and to Whom you shall be returned.

036:022 Maulana     And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who created me and to Whom you will be brought back.

036:022 Pickthal      For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back?

036:022 Rashad       "Why should I not worship the One who initiated me, and to Him is your ultimate return?

036:022 Sarwar       "Why should I not worship God who has created me? To him you will all return.

036:022 Shakir        And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back;

036:022 Sherali       `And why should I not worship HIM Who has created me, and unto Whom you will be brought back?

036:022 Yusufali     "It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back.

036:023

036:023 Khan          "Shall I take besides Him aliha (gods), if the Most Beneficent (Allah) intends me any harm, their intercession will be of no use for me whatsoever, nor can they save me?

036:023 Maulana     Shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession, if the Beneficent should desire to afflict me with harm, will avail me naught, nor can they deliver me?

036:023 Pickthal      Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save?

036:023 Rashad       "Shall I set up beside Him gods? If the Most Gracious willed any harm for me, their intercession cannot help me one bit, nor can they rescue me.

036:023 Sarwar       Should I worship other gods besides Him? If the Beneficent God was to afflict me with hardship, the intercession of the idols can be of no benefit to me nor could it rescue me from hardship.

036:023 Shakir        What! shall I take besides Him gods whose intercession, If the Beneficent Allah should desire to afflict me with a harm, shall not avail me aught, nor shall they be able to deliver me?

036:023 Sherali       `Shall I take others beside HIM as gods?  If the Gracious God should intend me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they rescue me.

036:023 Yusufali     "Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me.

036:024

036:024 Khan          "Then verily, I should be in plain error.

036:024 Maulana     Then I shall surely be in clear error.

036:024 Pickthal      Then truly I should be in error manifest.

036:024 Rashad       "In that case, I would be totally astray.

036:024 Sarwar       (Had I worshipped things besides God, I would have been in manifest error).

036:024 Shakir        In that case I shall most surely be in clear error:

036:024 Sherali       `In that case I should, indeed, be in manifest error.

036:024 Yusufali     "I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error.

036:025

036:025 Pickthal      Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me!

036:025 Rashad       "I have believed in your Lord; please listen to me."

036:027

036:027 Khan          "That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven me, and made me of the honoured ones!"

036:027 Maulana     How my Lord has forgiven me and made me of the honoured ones!

036:027 Pickthal      With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honoured ones!

036:043 Sarwar       Had We wanted, We could have drowned them and nothing would have been able to help or rescue them

036:043 Shakir        And if We please, We can drown them, then there shall be no succorer for them, nor shall they be rescued

036:066 Khan          And if it had been Our Will, We would surely have wiped out (blinded) their eyes, so that they would struggle for the Path, how then would they see?

036:066 Maulana     And if We pleased, We would put out their eyes, then they would strive to get first to the way, but how should they see?

036:066 Pickthal      And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen?

036:067

036:067 Khan          And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they should have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back. [As it happened with the Jews see Verse 7:166 The Qur'an].

036:067 Maulana     And if We pleased, We would transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, or turn back.

036:067 Pickthal      And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.

036:068 Sarwar       The physical growth of those whom We grant a long life will be reversed. Will you then not understand?

036:069 Sarwar       We did not teach him (Muhammad) poetry, nor was he supposed to be a poet. It is only the word (of God) and the illustrious Quran

036:069 Shakir        And We have not taught him poetry, nor is it meet for him; it is nothing but a reminder and a plain Quran,

036:069 Sherali       And WE have not taught him poetry, nor does it behove him to be a poet. It is but a reminder and a Qur'an that expounds and makes things plain,

036:069 Yusufali     We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear:

036:075 Rashad       On the contrary, they cannot help them; they end up serving them as devoted soldiers.

036:075 Shakir        (But) they shall not be able to assist them, and they shall be a host brought up before them.

036:075 Sherali       But they are not able to help them. On the contrary, they will be brought before God in a body to bear witness against them.

036:078 Sherali       And he coins similitudes for US and forgets his own creation. He says, `Who can quicken the bones when they are decayed?'

036:078 Yusufali     And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?”
