that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my
issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."
PICKTHAL: And We have commended unto man kindness toward parents. His
mother beareth him with reluctance, and bringeth him forth with reluctance, and the
bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months, till, when he attaineth full
strength and reacheth forty years, he saith: My Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for
the favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and that I may do right
acceptable unto Thee. And be gracious unto me in the matter of my seed. Lo! I have turned
unto Thee repentant, and lo! I am of those who surrender (unto Thee).
SHAKIR: And We have enjoined on man doing of good to his parents; with
trouble did his mother bear him and with trouble did she bring him forth; and the bearing
of him and the weaning of him was thirty months; until when he attains his maturity and
reaches forty years, he says: My Lord! grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which
Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and
do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those
who submit.

YUSUFALI: But (there is one) who says to his parents, "Fie on you!

the son): "Woe to thee! Have faith! for the promise of Allah is true." But he
says, "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!"
PICKTHAL: And whoso saith unto his parents: Fie upon you both! Do ye
threaten me that I shall be brought forth (again) when generations before me have passed
away? And they twain cry unto Allah for help (and say): Woe unto thee! Believe! Lo! the
promise of Allah is true. But he saith: This is naught save fables of the men of old:
SHAKIR: And he who says to his parents: Fie on you! do you threaten me
that I shall be brought forth when generations have already passed away before me? And
they both call for Allah's aid: Woe to you! believe, surely the promise of Allah is true.
But he says: This is nothing but stories of the ancients.

previous generations of Jinns and men, that have passed away; for they will be (utterly)

and mankind which have passed away before them hath effect. Lo! they are the losers.

pay them for their deeds; and they will not be wronged.

may pay them back fully their deeds and they shall not be wronged.

Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye
(ever) transgressed."
PICKTHAL: And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the
Fire (it will be said): Ye squandered your good things in the life of the world and sought
comfort therein. Now this day ye are rewarded with the doom of ignominy because ye were
disdainful in the land without a right, and because ye used to transgress.
SHAKIR: And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be brought before
the fire: You did away with your good things in your life of the world and you enjoyed
them for a while, so today you shall be rewarded with the punishment of abasement because
you were unjustly proud in the land and because you transgressed.
046.021
YUSUFALI: Mention (Hud) one of 'Ad's (own) brethren: Behold, he warned

him: "Worship ye none other than Allah: Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Mighty
Day."
PICKTHAL: And make mention (O Muhammad) of the brother of A'ad when he
warned his folk among the wind-curved sandhills - and verily warners came and went before
and after him - saying: Serve none but Allah. Lo! I fear for you the doom of a tremendous
Day.
SHAKIR: And mention the brother of Ad; when he warned his people in the
sandy plains,-- and indeed warners came before him and after him-- saying Serve none but
Allah; surely I fear for you the punishment of a grievous day.
046.022
YUSUFALI: They said: "Hast thou come in order to turn us aside from

upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us, if thou art of the truthful.

then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones.
046.023
YUSUFALI: He said: "The Knowledge (of when it will come) is only
with Allah: I proclaim to you the mission on which I have been sent: But I see that ye are
a people in ignorance!"..
PICKTHAL: He said: The knowledge is with Allah only. I convey unto you
that wherewith I have been sent, but I see you are a folk that know not.
SHAKIR: He said: The knowledge is only with Allah, and I deliver to you
the message with which I am sent, but I see you are a people who are ignorant.
046.024
YUSUFALI: Then, when they saw the (Penalty in the shape of) a cloud
traversing the sky, coming to meet their valleys, they said, "This cloud will give us
rain!" "Nay, it is the (Calamity) ye were asking to be hastened!- A wind wherein
is a Grievous Penalty!
PICKTHAL: Then, when they beheld it as a dense cloud coming toward their
valleys, they said: Here is a cloud bringing us rain. Nay, but it is that which ye did
seek to hasten, a wind wherein is painful torment,
SHAKIR: So when they saw it as a cloud appearing in the sky advancing
towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloud which will give us rain. Nay! it is what
you sought to hasten on, a blast of wind in which is a painful punishment,
046.025
YUSUFALI: "Everything will it destroy by the command of its
Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their
houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin!
PICKTHAL: Destroying all things by commandment of its Lord. And morning
found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings. Thus do We reward the guilty
folk.
SHAKIR: Destroying everything by the command of its Lord, so they became
such that naught could be seen except their dwellings. Thus do We reward the guilty
people.

YUSUFALI: And We had firmly established them in a (prosperity and) power
which We have not given to you (ye Quraish!) and We had endowed them with (faculties of)
hearing, seeing, heart and intellect: but of no profit to them were their (faculties of)
hearing, sight, and heart and intellect, when they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah;
and they were (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!
PICKTHAL: And verily We had empowered them with that wherewith We have
not empowered you, and had assigned them ears and eyes and hearts; but their ears and eyes
and hearts availed them naught since they denied the revelations of Allah; and what they
used to mock befell them.
SHAKIR: And certainly We had established them in what We have not
established you in, and We had given-- them ears and eyes and hearts, but neither their
ears, nor their eyes, nor their hearts availed them aught, since they denied the
communications of Allah, and that which they mocked encompassed them.

repeat the communications that they might turn.
046.028
YUSUFALI: Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those whom they
worshipped as gods, besides Allah, as a means of access (to Allah)? Nay, they left them in
the lurch: but that was their falsehood and their invention.
PICKTHAL: Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a way of
approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly. And (all) that
was their lie, and what they used to invent.
SHAKIR: Why did not then those help them whom they took for gods besides
Allah to draw (them) nigh (to Him)? Nay! they were lost to them; and this was their lie
and what they forged.
046.029
YUSUFALI: Behold, We turned towards thee a company of Jinns (quietly)
listening to the Qur'an: when they stood in the presence thereof, they said, "Listen
in silence!" When the (reading) was finished, they returned to their people, to warn
(them of their sins).
PICKTHAL: And when We inclined toward thee (Muhammad) certain of the
jinn, who wished to hear the Qur'an and, when they were in its presence, said: Give ear!
and, when it was finished, turned back to their people, warning.

to the Quran; so when they came to it, they said: Be silent; then when it was finished,
they turned back to their people warning (them).

truth and a right road.

Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Penalty
Grievous.

He will forgive you some of your sins and guard you from a painful doom.
SHAKIR: O our people! accept the Divine caller and believe in Him, He
will forgive you of your faults and protect you from a painful punishment.
046.032
YUSUFALI: "If any does not hearken to the one who invites (us) to
Allah, he cannot frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth, and no protectors can he have besides
Allah: such men (wander) in manifest error."
PICKTHAL: And whoso respondeth not to Allah's summoner he can nowise
escape in the earth, and he hath no protecting friends instead of Him. Such are in error
manifest.
SHAKIR: And whoever does not accept the-Divine caller, he shall not
escape in the earth and he shall not have guardians besides Him, these are in manifest
error.

the earth and was not tired by their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Aye! He
has surely power over all things.

YUSUFALI: And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the
Fire, (they will be asked,) "Is this not the Truth?" they will say, "Yea,
by our Lord!" (One will say:) "Then taste ye the Penalty, for that ye were wont
to deny (Truth)!"
PICKTHAL: And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the
Fire (they will be asked): Is not this real? They will say: Yea, by our Lord. He will say:
Then taste the doom for that ye disbelieved.
SHAKIR: And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be brought before
the fire: Is it not true? They shall say: Aye! by our Lord! He will say: Then taste the
punishment, because you disbelieved.
046.035
YUSUFALI: Therefore patiently persevere, as did (all) messengers of
inflexible purpose; and be in no haste about the (Unbelievers). On the Day that they see
the (Punishment) promised them, (it will be) as if they had not tarried more than an hour
in a single day. (Thine but) to proclaim the Message: but shall any be destroyed except
those who transgress?
PICKTHAL: Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart
among the messengers (of old) had patience, and seek not to hasten on (the doom) for them.
On the day when they see that which they are promised (it will seem to them) as though
they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A clear message. Shall any be destroyed save
evil-living folk?
SHAKIR: Therefore bear up patiently as did the messengers endowed with
constancy bear up with patience and do not seek to hasten for them (their doom). On the
day that they shall see what they are promised they shall be as if they had not tarried
save an hour of the day. A sufficient exposition! Shall then any be destroyed save the
transgressing people?
