Section 6

46.
Qul innama aAAi"th"ukum biwahidatin an taqoomoo lillahi mathna wafurada thumma tatafakkaroo ma bisahibikum min jinnatin in huwa illa natheerun lakum bayna yaday AAathabin shadeedIn

46.
Say: "I do admonish you

On one point: that ye

Do stand up before God,--

(It may be) in pairs,

Or (it may be) singly,--

And reflect (within yourselves):

Your Companion is not

Possessed: he is no less

Than a Warner to you,

In face of a terrible

Penalty."

47. Qul ma saaltukum min ajrin fahuwa lakum in ajriya illa AAala Allahi wahuwa AAala kulli shay-in shaheedUn

47.
Say: "No reward do I

Ask of you: it is (all)

In your interest: my reward

Is only due from God:


And He is Witness

To all things.
"

48. Qul inna rabbee yaqthifu biAlhaqqi AAallamu alghuyoobI

48.
Say: "Verily my Lord

Doth cast the (mantle

Of
) Truth (over His servants),--

He that has full knowledge

Of (all) that is hidden.
"

49. Qul jaa alhaqqu wama yubdi-o albatilu wama yuAAeedU

49.
Say: "The Truth has arrived,

And Falsehood neither creates

Anything new, nor restores

Anything.
"

50. Qul in dalaltu fa-innama adillu AAala nafsee wa-ini ihtadaytu fabima yoohee ilayya rabbee innahu sameeAAun qareebUn

50.
Say: "If I am astray,

I only stray to the loss

Of my own soul: but if

I receive guidance, it is seen

Because of the inspiration

Of my Lord to me:


It is He Who hears

All things, and is (ever) near.
"

51. Walaw tara ith faziAAoo fala fawta waokhithoo min makanin qareebIn

51.
If thou couldst but see

When they will quake

With terror; but then

There will be no escape

(For them), and they will he

Seized from a position

(Quite) near.

52.
Waqaloo amanna bihi waanna lahumu aLttanawushu min makanin baAAeedIn

52.
And they will say,

"We do believe (now)

In the (Truth)
"; but how

Could they receive (Faith)

From a position (so) far off,--

53.
Waqad kafaroo bihi min qablu wayaqthifoona biAlghaybi min makanin baAAeedIn

53.
Seeing that they did reject

Faith (entirely) before, and

That they (continually) cast

(Slanders) on the Unseen

From a position far off?

54.
Waheela baynahum wabayna ma yashtahoona kama fuAAila bi-ashyaAAihim min qablu innahum kanoo fee shakkin mureebIn

54.
And between them

And their desires,

Is placed a barrier,

As was done in the past

With their partisans:


For they were indeed

In suspicious (disquieting) doubt.
