Sura Xxix. 'ankabut, Or The Spider. Section 7

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

Sra Xxix.:
'Ankabt, Or The Spider

Section 7

64.
Wama hathihi alhayatu aLddunya illa lahwun walaAAibun wa-inna aLddara al-akhirata lahiya alhayawanu law kanoo yaAAlamoonA

64.
What is the life of this world

But amusement and play?

But verily the Home

In the Hereafter,--that is

Life indeed, if they but knew.

65.
Fa-itha rakiboo fee alfulki daAAawoo Allaha mukhliseena lahu aLddeena falamma najjahum ila albarri itha hum yushrikoonA

65.
Now, if they embark

On a boat, they call

On God, making their devotion

Sincerely (and exclusively) to Him;

But when He has delivered

Them safely to (dry) land,

Behold, they give a share

(Of their worship to others)!--

66.
Liyakfuroo bima ataynahum waliyatamattaAAoo fasawfa yaAAlamoonA

66.
Disdaining ungratefully Our gifts,

And giving themselves up

To (worldly) enjoyment! But soon

Will they know.

67.
Awa lam yaraw anna jaAAalna haraman aminan wayutakhattafu aLnnasu min hawlihim afabiAlbatili yu/minoona wabiniAAmati Allahi yakfuroonA

67.
Do they not then see

That We have made

A Sanctuary secure, and that

Men are being snatched away

From all around them?

Then, do they believe in that

Which is vain, and reject

The Grace of God?

68.
Waman a"th"lamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba biAlhaqqi lamma jaahu alaysa fee jahannama mathwan lilkafireenA

68.
And who does more wrong

Than he who invents

A lie against God

Or rejects the Truth

When it reaches him?

Is there not a home

In Hell for those who

Reject Faith?

69.
WaAllatheena jahadoo feena lanahdiyannahum subulana wa-inna Allaha lamaAAa almuhsineenA

69.
And those who strive

In Our (Cause),--We will

Certainly guide them

To Our Paths:


For verily God

Is with those

Who do right.
