13. Surat al-Rad

١٣۔ سُورَةُ الرَّعْد

لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُۥ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعࣰا وَمِثْلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفْتَدَوْا۟ بِهِۦٓۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْحِسَابِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ

 ۝١٨
13:18 

For those who have responded to their Lord is the best ˹reward˺, but those who did not respond to Him - if they had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would ˹attempt to˺ ransom themselves thereby. Those will have the worst account, and their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.

13.1 Revelation and False Deities

وَفِي ٱلْأَرْضِ قِطَعࣱ مُّتَجَٰوِرَٰتࣱ وَجَنَّٰتࣱ مِّنْ أَعْنَٰبࣲ وَزَرْعࣱ وَنَخِيلࣱ صِنْوَانࣱ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانࣲ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَآءࣲ وَٰحِدࣲ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضࣲ فِي ٱلْأُكُلِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَٰتࣲ لِّقَوْمࣲ يَعْقِلُونَ

 

۞ وَإِن تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبࣱ قَوْلُهُمْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٰبًا أَءِنَّا لَفِي خَلْقࣲ جَدِيدٍۗ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلْأَغْلَٰلُ فِيٓ أَعْنَاقِهِمْۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

 

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِمُ ٱلْمَثُلَٰتُۗ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةࣲ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلْمِهِمْۖ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

 

وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةࣱ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓۗ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرࣱۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ

 
Change and Prayer to God  

Allah knows what every female carries and what the wombs lose ˹prematurely˺ or exceed. And everything with Him is by due measure.

 

˹He is˺ Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Exalted.

 

It is the same ˹to Him˺ concerning you whether one conceals ˹his˺ speech or one publicizes it and whether one is hidden by night or conspicuous ˹among others˺ by day.

 

For each one are successive ˹angels˺ before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.

 

It is He who shows you lightening, ˹causing˺ fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds.

 

And the thunder exalts ˹Allah˺ with praise of Him - and the angels ˹as well˺ from fear of Him - and He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah; and He is severe in assault.

 

To Him ˹alone˺ is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water ˹from afar, calling it˺ to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it ˹thus˺. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error ˹i.e. futility˺.

 

And to Allah prostrates whoever is within the heavens and the earth, willingly or by compulsion, and their shadows ˹as well˺ in the mornings and the afternoons.

ٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ ٱلْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُۚ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِندَهُۥ بِمِقْدَارٍ

 

عَٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْمُتَعَالِ

 

سَوَآءࣱ مِّنكُم مَّنْ أَسَرَّ ٱلْقَوْلَ وَمَن جَهَرَ بِهِۦ وَمَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفِۭ بِٱلَّيْلِ وَسَارِبُۢ بِٱلنَّهَارِ

 

لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَٰتࣱ مِّنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا۟ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمࣲ سُوٓءࣰا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ

 

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفࣰا وَطَمَعࣰا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ

 

وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِۦ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلصَّوَٰعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمْ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِي ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْمِحَالِ

 

لَهُۥ دَعْوَةُ ٱلْحَقِّۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَٰسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَٰلِغِهِۦۚ وَمَا دُعَآءُ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلࣲ

 

وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ طَوْعࣰا وَكَرْهࣰا وَظِلَٰلُهُم بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْـَٔاصَالِ۩

 

قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۚ قُلْ أَفَٱتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعࣰا وَلَا ضَرࣰّاۚ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِي ٱلظُّلُمَٰتُ وَٱلنُّورُۗ أَمْ جَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوا۟ كَخَلْقِهِۦ فَتَشَٰبَهَ ٱلْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءࣲ وَهُوَ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّٰرُ

 

أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءࣰ فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةُۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَٱحْتَمَلَ ٱلسَّيْلُ زَبَدࣰا رَّابِيࣰاۖ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي ٱلنَّارِ ٱبْتِغَآءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَٰعࣲ زَبَدࣱ مِّثْلُهُۥۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱلْبَٰطِلَۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَآءࣰۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ

 

لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُۥ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعࣰا وَمِثْلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفْتَدَوْا۟ بِهِۦٓۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْحِسَابِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ
