'M, Or Cattle.

Section 9

71.
Qul anadAAoo min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAuna wala yadurruna wanuraddu AAala aAAqabina baAAda ith hadana Allahu kaAllathee istahwat-hu aLshshayateenu fee al-ardi hayrana lahu as-habun yadAAoonahu ila alhuda i/tina qul inna huda Allahi huwa alhuda waomirna linuslima lirabbi alAAalameenA

71.
Say: "Shall we indeed

Call on others besides God,

Things that can do us

Neither good nor harm,--

And turn on our heels

After receiving guidance

From God?--like one

Whom the evil ones

Have made into a fool,

Wandering bewildered

Through the earth, his friends

Calling 'Come to us',

(Vainly) guiding him to the Path."

Say: "God's guidance

Is the (only) guidance,

And we have been directed

To submit ourselves

To the Lord of the worlds;--

72.
Waan aqeemoo aLssalata waIttaqoohu wahuwa allathee ilayhi tuhsharoonA

72.
\"To establish regular prayers

And to fear God:

For it is to Him

That we shall be

Gathered together."

73. Wahuwa allathee khalaqa aLssamawati waAl-arda biAlhaqqi wayawma yaqoolu kun fayakoonu qawluhu alhaqqu walahu almulku yawma yunfakhu fee aLssoori AAalimu alghaybi waALshshahadati wahuwa alhakeemu alkhabeerU

73.
It is He Who created

The heavens and the earth

In true (proportions):


The day He saith, "Be,"

Behold! it is. His Word

Is the Truth. His will be

The dominion the day

The trumpet will be blown.

He knoweth the Unseen

As well as that which is

Open. For He

Is the Wise, well acquainted

(With all things).

74.
Wa-ith qala ibraheemu li-abeehi azara atattakhithu asnaman alihatan innee araka waqawmaka fee dalalin mubeenIn

74. Lo! Abraham said

To his father zar:


"Takest thou idols for gods?

For I see thee

And thy people

In manifest error.
"

75. Wakathalika nuree ibraheema malakoota aLssamawati waAl-ardi waliyakoona mina almooqineenA

75.
So also did We show

Abraham the power

And the laws of the heavens

And the earth, that he

Might (with understanding)

Have certitude.

76.
Falamma janna AAalayhi allaylu raa kawkaban qala hatha rabbee falamma afala qala la ohibbu al-afileenA

76.
When the night

Covered him over,

He saw a star:


He said: "This is my Lord."

But when it set,

He said: "I love not

Those that set.
"

77. Falamma raa alqamara bazighan qala hatha rabbee falamma afala qala la-in lam yahdinee rabbee laakoonanna mina alqawmi aLddalleenA

77.
When he saw the moon

Rising in splendour,

He said: "This is my Lord."

But when the moon set,

He said: "Unless my Lord

Guide me, I shall surely

Be among those

Who go astray.

78.
Falamma raa aLshshamsa bazighatan qala hatha rabbee hatha akbaru falamma afalat qala ya qawmi innee baree-on mimma tushrikoonA

78.
When he saw the sun

Rising in splendour,

He said: "This is my Lord;

This is the greatest (of all)."

But when the sun set,

He said: "O my people!

I am indeed free

From your (guilt)

Of giving partners to God.

79.
Innee wajjahtu wajhiya lillathee fatara aLssamawati waAl-arda haneefan wama ana mina almushrikeenA

79.
\"For me, I have set

My face, firmly and truly,

Towards Him Who created

The heavens and the earth,

And never shall I give

Partners to God."

80. Wahajjahu qawmuhu qala atuhajjoonnee fee Allahi waqad hadani wala akhafu ma tushrikoona bihi illa an yashaa rabbee shay-an wasiAAa rabbee kulla shay-in AAilman afala tatathakkaroonA

80. His people disputed

With him. He said:


"(Come) ye to dispute

With me, about God,

When He (Himself)

Hath guided me?

I fear not (the beings)

Ye associate with God:


Unless my Lord willeth,

(Nothing can happen).

My Lord comprehendeth

In His knowledge all things.

Will ye not (yourselves)

Be admonished?

81.
Wakayfa akhafu ma ashraktum wala takhafoona annakum ashraktum biAllahi ma lam yunazzil bihi AAalaykum sultanan faayyu alfareeqayni ahaqqu biAl-amni in kuntum taAAlamoonA

81.
\"How should I fear

(The beings) ye associate

With God, when ye

Fear not to give partners

To God without any warrant

Having been given to you?

Which of (us) two parties

Hath more right to security?

(Tell me) if ye know.

82.
Allatheena amanoo walam yalbisoo eemanahum bi"th"ulmin ola-ika lahumu al-amnu wahum muhtadoonA

82.
\"It is those who believe

And confuse not their beliefs

With wrong--that are

(Truly) in security, for they

Are on (right) guidance."
