THUNDER (ar-Ra'd)
In the name of
God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1.
Alif,
Lam, Meem, Ra. These are the signs of the Scripture. What is revealed to you
from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.
2.
God
is He who raised the heavens with-out pillars that you can see, and then
set-tled on the Throne. And He regulated the sun and the moon, each running for
a specified period. He manages all affairs, and He explains the signs, that you
may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.
3.
And
it is He who spread the earth, and placed on it mountains and rivers. Of eve-ry
kind of fruit He made a pair of two. He causes the night to overlap the day. In
that are signs for people who reflect.
4.
On
earth are adjacent terrains, and gar-dens of vines, and crops, and date-palms,
from the same root or from distinct roots, irrigated with the same water. We
make some taste better than others. In that are proofs for people who reason.
5.
Should
you wonder—the real wonder is their saying: “When we have become dust, will we
be in a new creation?” Those are they who defied their Lord. Those are they who
will have yokes around their necks. Those are the inhabitants of the Fire,
where they will remain forever.
6.
And
they urge you to hasten evil before good, though examples have passed away
before them. Your Lord is full of for-
giveness towards the people for their wrongdoings, yet your
Lord is severe in retribution.
7. Those who disbelieve say, “Why was a miracle not sent down
to him from his Lord?” You are only a warner, and to eve-ry community is a
guide.
8. God knows what every female bears, and every increase and
decrease of the wombs. With Him, everything is by meas-ure.
9. The Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Grand, the
Supreme.
10. It is the same; whether one of you con-ceals his speech, or
declares it; whether he goes into hiding by night, or goes out by day.
11. He has a succession, before him and behind him, protecting
him by God’s command. God does not change the con-dition of a people until they
change what is within themselves. And if God wills any hardship for a people,
there is no turning it back, and apart from Him they have no protector.
12. It is He who shows you the lightening, causing fear and
hope. And He produces the heavy clouds.
13. The thunder praises His glory, and so do the angels, in awe
of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts, striking with them whomever He wills.
Yet they argue about God, while He is Tremendous in might.
14. To Him belongs the call to truth. Those they call upon
besides Him do not respond to them with
anything—except as someone who stretches his hands towards water, so that it
may reach his mouth, but it does not reach it. The prayers of the un-believers
are only in vain.
15. To God prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth,
willingly or unwill-ingly, as do their shadows, in the morning and in the
evening.
16. Say, “Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?” Say,
“God.” Say, “Have you taken besides Him protectors, who have no power to profit
or harm even themselves?” Say, “Are the blind and the seeing equal? Or are
darkness and light equal? Or have they assigned to God asso-ciates, who created
the likes of His crea-tion, so that the creations seemed to them alike? Say,
“God is the Creator of all things, and He is The One, the Irresisti-ble.”
17. He sends down water from the sky, and riverbeds flow
according to their capacity. The current carries swelling froth. And from what
they heat in fire of ornaments or utensils comes a similar froth. Thus God
exemplifies truth and falsehood. As for the froth, it is swept away, but what
benefits the people remains in the ground. Thus God presents the analogies.
18. For those who respond to their Lord is the best. But as for
those who do not re-spond to Him, even if they possessed eve-rything on earth,
and twice as much, they could not redeem themselves with it. Those will have
the worst reckoning; and
their home is
Hell—a miserable destina-tion.
19. Is he who knows that what was revealed to your from your
Lord is the truth, like he who is blind? Only those who reason will remember.
20. Those who fulfill the promise to God, and do not violate the
agreement.
21. And those who join what God has commanded to be joined, and
fear their Lord, and dread the dire reckoning.
22. And those who patiently seek the pres-ence of their Lord,
and pray regularly, and spend from Our provisions to them, se-cretly and
openly, and repel evil with good. These will have the Ultimate Home.
23. Everlasting Gardens, which they will enter, along with the
righteous among their parents, and their spouses, and their descendants. And
the angels will enter upon them from every gate.
24. “Peace be upon you, because you en-dured patiently. How
excellent is the Final Home.”
25. As for those who violate the promise to God, after pledging
to keep it, and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and spread
corruption on earth—these, the curse will be upon them, and they will have the
Worst Home.
26. God dispenses the provisions to whom-ever He wills, and
restricts. And they de-light in the worldly life; yet the worldly life,
compared to the Hereafter, is only enjoyment.
27. Those who disbelieve say, “If only a miracle was sent down
to him from his Lord.” Say, “God leads astray whomever He wills, and He guides
to Himself who-ever repents.”
28. Those who believe, and whose hearts find comfort in the
remembrance of God. Surely, it is in the remembrance of God that hearts find
comfort.”
29. For those who believe and do righteous deeds—for them is
happiness and a beau-tiful return.
30. Thus We have sent you among a com-munity before which other
communities have passed away, that you may recite to them what We revealed to
you. Yet they deny the Benevolent One. Say, “He is my Lord; there is no god but
He; in Him I trust, and to Him is my repentance.”
31. Even if there were a Quran, by which mountains could be set
in motion, by which the earth could be shattered, or by which the dead could be
made to speak. In fact, every decision rests with God. Did the believers not
give up and realize that had God willed, He would have guided all humanity?
Disasters will continue to strike those who disbelieve, because of their deeds,
or they fall near their homes, until God’s promise comes true. God never breaks
a promise.
32. Messengers before you were ridiculed, but I granted the
disbelievers respite, and then I seized them. What a punishment it was.
33. Is He who is watchful over the deeds of every soul? Yet they
ascribe associates to God. Say, “Name them. Or are you in-forming Him of
something on earth He does not know, or is it a show of words?” In fact, the
scheming of those who disbe-lieve is made to appear good to them, and they are
averted from the path. Whomever God misguides has no guide.
34. There is for them torment in the world-ly life, but the
torment of the Hereafter is harsher. And they have no defender against God.
35. The likeness of the Garden promised to the righteous: rivers
flowing beneath it; its food is perpetual, and so is its shade. Such is the
sequel for those who guard against evil, but the sequel of the disbelievers is
the Fire.
36. Those to whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in what was
revealed to you, while some factions reject parts of it. Say, “I am commanded
to worship God, and to never associate anything with Him. To Him I invite, and
to Him is my return.”
37. Thus We revealed it an Arabic code of law. Were you to
follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you would have
neither ally nor defender against God.
38. We sent messengers before you, and We assigned for them
wives and offspring. No messenger could bring a sign except with the permission
of God. For every era is a scripture.
39. God abolishes whatever He wills, and He affirms. With Him is
the source of the Scripture.
40. Whether We show you some of what We have promised them, or
We cause you to die—your duty is to inform, and Ours is the reckoning.
41. Do they not see how We deal with the earth, diminishing it
at its edges? God judges; and nothing can hold back His judgment. And He is
quick to settle ac-counts.
42. Those before them planned, but the entire plan is up to God.
He knows what every soul earns. Those who disbelieve will know to whom the
Ultimate Home is.
43. Those who disbelieve say, “You are not a messenger.” Say,
“God is a sufficient witness between me and you, and whoever has knowledge of
the Scripture.”
