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

Sra Xxvii.: Naml, Or The Ants.

Section 5

59.
Quli alhamdu lillahi wasalamun AAala AAibadihi allatheena istafa allahu khayrun amma yushrikoonA

59.
Say: Praise be to God,

And Peace on His servants

Whom He has chosen

(For His Message). (Who)

Is better?--God or

The false gods they associate

(With Him)?

60.
Amman khalaqa aLssamawati waAl-arda waanzala lakum mina aLssama-i maan faanbatna bihi hada-iqa thata bahjatin ma kana lakum an tunbitoo shajaraha a-ilahun maAAa Allahi bal hum qawmun yaAAdiloonA

60.
Or, who has created

The heavens and the earth,

And who sends you down

Rain from the sky?

Yea, with it We cause

To grow well-planted orchards

Full of beauty and delight:

It is not in your power

To cause the growth

Of the trees in them. (Can there be

Another
) god besides God?

Nay, they are a people

Who swerve from justice.

61.
Amman jaAAala al-arda qararan wajaAAala khilalaha anharan wajaAAala laha rawasiya wajaAAala bayna albahrayni hajizan a-ilahun maAAa Allahi bal aktharuhum la yaAAlamoonA

61.
Or, who has made the earth

Firm to live in; made

Rivers in its midst; set

Thereon mountains immovable;

And made a separating bar

Between the two bodies

Of flowing water?

(Can there be another) god

Besides God? Nay, most

Of them know not.

62.
Amman yujeebu almudtarra itha daAAahu wayakshifu aLssoo-a wayajAAalukum khulafaa al-ardi a-ilahun maAAa Allahi qaleelan ma tathakkaroonA

62.
Or, who listens to the (soul)

Distressed when it calls

On Him, and who relieves

Its suffering, and makes you

(Mankind) inheritors of the earth?'

(Can there be another) god

Besides God? Little it is

That ye heed!

63.
Amman yahdeekum fee "th"ulumati albarri waAlbahri waman yursilu aLrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi a-ilahun maAAa Allahi taAAala Allahu AAamma yushrikoonA

63.
Or, who guides you

Through the depths of darkness

On land and sea, and who

Sends the winds as heralds

Of glad tidings, going before

His Mercy? (Can there be

Another
) god besides God?--

High is God above what

They associate with Him!

64.
Amman yabdao alkhalqa thumma yuAAeeduhu waman yarzuqukum mina aLssama-i waAl-ardi a-ilahun maAAa Allahi qul hatoo burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeenA

64.
Or, who originates Creation,

Then repeats it,

And who gives you sustenance

From heaven and earth?

(Can there be another) god

Besides God? Say, "Bring forth

Your argument, if ye

Are telling the truth!
"

65. Qul la yaAAlamu man fee aLssamawati waAl-ardi alghayba illa Allahu wama yashAAuroona ayyana yubAAathoonA

65.
Say: None in the heavens

Or on earth, except God,

Knows what is hidden:


Nor can they perceive

When they shall be raised

Up (for Judgment).

66.
Bali iddaraka AAilmuhum fee al-akhirati bal hum fee shakkin minha bal hum minha AAamoonA

66.
Still less can their knowledge

Comprehend the Hereafter: nay,

They are in doubt and uncertainty

Thereanent; nay, they are blind

Thereunto!
