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

Sra Xxv.: Furqn, Or The Criterion.

Section 1

1.
Tabaraka allathee nazzala alfurqana AAala AAabdihi liyakoona lilAAalameena natheeraN

1.
Blessed is He Who

Sent down the Criterion

To His Servant, that

May be an admonition

To all creatures;--

2.
Allathee lahu mulku aLssamawati waAl-ardi walam yattakhith waladan walam yakun lahu shareekun fee almulki wakhalaqa kulla shay-in faqaddarahu taqdeeraN

2.
He to Whom belongs

The dominion of the heavens

And the earth: no son

Has He begotten, nor has He

A partner in His dominion:

It is He Who created

All things, and ordered them

In due proportions.

3. WaIttakhathoo min doonihi alihatan la yakhluqoona shay-an wahum yukhlaqoona wala yamlikoona li-anfusihim darran wala nafAAan wala yamlikoona mawtan wala hayatan wala nushooraN

3.
Yet have they taken,

Besides Him, gods that can

Create nothing but are themselves

Created; that have no control

Of hurt or good to themselves;

Nor can they control Death

Nor Life nor Resurrection.

4. Waqala allatheena kafaroo in hatha illa ifkun iftarahu waaAAanahu AAalayhi qawmun akharoona faqad jaoo "th"ulman wazooraN

4. But the Misbelievers say:


"Naught is this but a lie

Which he has forged,

And others have helped him

At it.
" In truth it is they

Who have put forward

An iniquity and a falsehood.

5. Waqaloo asateeru al-awwaleena iktatabaha fahiya tumla AAalayhi bukratan waaseelaN

5.
And they say: "Tales of

The ancients, which he has caused

To be written: and they

Are dictated before him

Morning and evening.
"

6. Qul anzalahu allathee yaAAlamu aLssirra fee aLssamawati waAl-ardi innahu kana ghafooran raheemaN

6.
Say: "The (Qur-n) was sent down

By Him Who knows

The Mystery (that is) in the heavens

And the earth: verily He

Is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
"

7. Waqaloo mali hatha aLrrasooli ya/kulu aLttaAAama wayamshee fee al-aswaqi lawla onzila ilayhi malakun fayakoona maAAahu natheeraN

7.
find they say: "What sort

Of an apostle is this,

Who eats food, and walks

Through the streets? Why

Has not an angel

Been sent down to him

To give admonition with him?

8. Aw yulqa ilayhi kanzun aw takoonu lahu jannatun ya/kulu minha waqala aL"thth"alimoona in tattabiAAoona illa rajulan mashooraN

8.
\"Or (why) has not a treasure

Been bestowed on him, or

Why has he (not) a garden

For enjoyment?" The wicked

Say: "Ye follow none other

Than a man bewitched.
"

9. On"th"ur kayfa daraboo laka al-amthala fadalloo fala yastateeAAoona sabeelaN

9.
See what kinds of comparisons

They make for thee!

But they have gone astray,

And never a way will they

Be able to find!
