THE HOLY QURAN

Translated by

Minister Sheikh / Salih Bin ‘Abdul ‘Aziz Al al-Sheikh / Yusuf Ali

He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book; in it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are not of well-established meaning. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is not of well-established meaning. Seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its true meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding. 3:7

But ye will not, except as Allah wills: for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. 76:30

He Will admit to His Mercy whom He will; but the wrong-doers; for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty. 76:31

But ye shall not will except as Allah wills; the Cherisher of the Worlds. 81:29

Say: "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah willeth. To every People is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation)." 10:49

Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! truly my people took this Qur-an for just foolish nonsense." 25:30

We sent not a Messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom. 14:4

From the (earth) did We create you, and into it shall We return you, and from it shall We bring you out once again. 20:55

If ye help not (your Leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion: they two were in the Cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. 9:40

And verily We shall recount their whole story with knowledge, for We were never absent (at any time or place). 7:7

And thus have We, by Our command, sent inspiration to thee: thou knewest not (before) what was Revelation, and what was Faith: but We have made the (Qur-an) a Light, wherewith We guide such of Our servants as We will; and verily thou dost guide (men) to the Straight Way. 42:52

It is Allah Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; then shall ye be brought back to Him. 30:11

They know but the outer (things) in the life of this world: but of the End of things they are heedless. 30:7

Do they not reflect in their own minds? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed, did Allah create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny their meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)! 30:8

How can ye reject the faith in Allah? Seeing that ye were without life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return. 2:28

If it were Our Will, We could take away that which We have sent thee by inspiration: then wouldst thou find none to plead thy affair in that matter as against Us, 17:86

(This was Our) way with the Messengers We sent before thee: thou wilt find no change in Our ways. 17:77

Establish regular prayers at the sun's decline till the darkness of the night, and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer and reading in the morning carry their testimony. 17:78

And pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and Glory! 17:79

When thou does read the Qur-an, seek Allah's protection from Satan the Rejected One. 16: 98

No authority has he over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord. 16:99

His authority is over those only, who take him as patron and who join partners with Allah. 16:100

If Allah so willed, He could make you all one People: but He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions. 16:93

And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night: for those things that are good remove those that are evil: be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord): 11:114

Unto Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He giveth life and He taketh it. Except for Him ye have no protector nor helper. 9:116
