"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Xx.: -h. (mystic Letters,. H.)

Section 8

129.
Walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musammaN

129.
Had it not been

For a Word that went forth

Before from thy Lord,

(Their punishment) must necessarily

Have come; but there is

A term appointed (for respite).

130.
FaIsbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi aLshshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin ana-i allayli fasabbih waatrafa aLnnahari laAAallaka tarda

130.
Therefore be patient with what

They say, and celebrate (constantly)

The praises of thy Lord,

Before the rising of the sun,

And before its setting;

Yea, celebrate them

For part of the hours

Of the night, and at the sides

Of the day: that thou

Mayest have (spiritual) joy.

131.
Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayati aLddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrun waabqa

131.
Nor strain thine eyes in longing

For the things We have given

For enjoyment to parties ,

Of them, the splendour

Of the life of this world,

Through which We test them:

But the provision of thy Lord

Is better and more enduring.

132.
Wa/mur ahlaka biALssalati waIstabir AAalayha la nas-aluka rizqan nahnu narzuquka waAlAAaqibatu liLttaqwa

132.
Enjoin prayer on thy people,

And be constant therein.

We ask thee not to provide

Sustenance: We provide it

For thee. But the (fruit of)

The Hereafter is for Righteousness.

133.
Waqaloo lawla ya/teena bi-ayatin min rabbihi awa lam ta/tihim bayyinatu ma fee aLssuhufi al-oola

133.
'They say: "Why does he not

Bring us a Sign from

His Lord?
" Has not

A Clear Sign come to them

Of all that was

In the former Books

Of revelation?

134.
Walaw anna ahlaknahum biAAathabin min qablihi laqaloo rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika min qabli an nathilla wanakhza

134.
And if We had inflicted

On them a penalty before this,

They would have said:


"Our Lord! If only Thou

Hadst sent us an apostle,

We should certainly have followed

Thy Signs before we were

Humbled and put to shame."

135.
Qul kullun mutarabbisun fatarabbasoo fasataAAlamoona man as-habu aLssirati aLssawiyyi wamani ihtada

135.
Say: "Each one (of us)

Is waiting: wait ye, therefore,

And soon shall ye know

Who it is that is

On the straight and even

Way, and who it is

That has received guidance."
