Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes

Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble
not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray,
SHAKIR:
And already We overtook them with chastisement, but they
were not submissive to their Lord, nor do they humble
themselves.
023.077
YUSUFALI:
Until We open on them a gate leading to a severe Punishment:
then Lo! they will be plunged in despair therein!
PICKTHAL:
Until, when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment,
behold! they are aghast thereat.
SHAKIR:
Until when We open upon them a door of severe
chastisement, lo! they are in despair at it.
023.078
YUSUFALI:
It is He Who has created for you (the faculties of) hearing,
sight, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give!
PICKTHAL:
He it is Who hath created for you ears and eyes and hearts.
Small thanks give ye!
SHAKIR:
And He it is Who made for you the ears and the eyes and
the hearts; little is it that you give thanks.
023.079
YUSUFALI:
And He has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall
ye be gathered back.
PICKTHAL:
And He it is Who hath sown you broadcast in the earth, and
unto Him ye will be gathered.
SHAKIR:
And He it is Who multiplied you in the earth, and to Him
you shall be gathered.
023.080
YUSUFALI:
It is He Who gives life and death, and to Him (is due) the
alternation of Night and Day: will ye not then understand?
PICKTHAL:
And He it is Who giveth life and causeth death, and His is the
difference of night and day. Have ye then no sense?
SHAKIR:
And He it is Who gives life and causes death, and (in)
His (control) is the alternation of the night and the day;
do you not then understand?
023.081
YUSUFALI:
On the contrary they say things similar to what the ancients
said.
PICKTHAL:
Nay, but they say the like of that which said the men of old;
SHAKIR:
Nay, they say the like of what the ancients said:
023.082
YUSUFALI:
They say: "What! when we die and become dust and bones, could
we really be raised up again?
PICKTHAL:
They say: When we are dead and have become (mere) dust and
bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again?
SHAKIR:
They say: What! When we are dead and become dust and
bones, shall we then be raised?
023.083
YUSUFALI:
"Such things have been promised to us and to our fathers
before! they are nothing but tales of the ancients!"
PICKTHAL:
We were already promised this, we and our forefathers. Lo!
this is naught but fables of the men of old.
SHAKIR:
Certainly we are promised this, and (so were) our
fathers aforetime; this is naught but stories of those of
old.
023.084
YUSUFALI:
Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (say)
if ye know!"
PICKTHAL:
Say: Unto Whom (belongeth) the earth and whosoever is therein,
if ye have knowledge?
SHAKIR:
Say: Whose is the earth, and whoever is therein, if you
know?
023.085
YUSUFALI:
They will say, "To Allah!" say: "Yet will ye not receive
admonition?"
PICKTHAL:
They will say: Unto Allah. Say: Will ye not then remember?
SHAKIR:
They will say: Allah's. Say: Will you not then mind?
023.086
YUSUFALI:
Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of
the Throne (of Glory) Supreme?"
PICKTHAL:
Say: Who is Lord of the seven heavens, and Lord of the
Tremendous Throne?
SHAKIR:
Say: Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord
of the mighty dominion?
023.087
YUSUFALI:
They will say, "(They belong) to Allah." Say: "Will ye not then
be filled with awe?"
PICKTHAL:
They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: Will ye
not then keep duty (unto Him)?
SHAKIR:
They will say: (This is) Allah's. Say: Will you not then
guard (against evil)?
023.088
YUSUFALI:
Say: "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all
things,- who protects (all), but is not protected (of any)? (say) if ye
know."
PICKTHAL:
Say: In Whose hand is the dominion over all things and He
protecteth, while against Him there is no protection, if ye have
knowledge?
SHAKIR:
Say: Who is it in Whose hand is the kingdom of all
things and Who gives succor, but against Him Succor is not
given, if you do but know?
023.089
YUSUFALI:
They will say, "(It belongs) to Allah." Say: "Then how are ye
deluded?"
PICKTHAL:
They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: How then
are ye bewitched?
SHAKIR:
They will say: (This is) Allah's. Say: From whence are
you then deceived?
023.090
YUSUFALI:
We have sent them the Truth: but they indeed practise
falsehood!
PICKTHAL:
Nay, but We have brought them the Truth, and lo! they are
liars.
SHAKIR:
Nay! We have brought to them the truth, and most surely
they are liars.
023.091
YUSUFALI:
No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if
there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had
created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is
free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!
PICKTHAL:
Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with
Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created,
and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah
above all that they allege.
SHAKIR:
Never did Allah take to Himself a son, and never was
there with him any (other) god-- in that case would each god
have certainly taken away what he created, and some of them
would certainly have overpowered others; glory be to Allah
above what they describe!
023.092
YUSUFALI:
He knows what is hidden and what is open: too high is He for
the partners they attribute to Him!
PICKTHAL:
Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! and Exalted be He
over all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)!
SHAKIR:
The Knower of the unseen and the seen, so may He be
exalted above what they associate (with Him).
023.093
YUSUFALI:
Say: "O my Lord! if Thou wilt show me (in my lifetime) that
which they are warned against,-
PICKTHAL:
Say: My Lord! If Thou shouldst show me that which they are
promised.
SHAKIR:
Say: O my Lord! if Thou shouldst make me see what they
are threatened with:
023.094
YUSUFALI:
"Then, O my Lord! put me not amongst the people who do
wrong!"
PICKTHAL:
My Lord! then set me not among the wrongdoing folk.
SHAKIR:
My Lord! then place me not with the unjust.
023.095
YUSUFALI:
And We are certainly able to show thee (in fulfilment) that
against which they are warned.
PICKTHAL:
And verily We are Able to show thee that which We have
promised them.
SHAKIR:
And most surely We are well able to make you see what We
threaten them with.
023.096
YUSUFALI:
Repel evil with that which is best: We are well acquainted
with the things they say.
PICKTHAL:
Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best Aware of
that which they allege.
SHAKIR:
Repel evil by what is best; We know best what they
describe.
023.097
YUSUFALI:
And say "O my Lord! I seek refuge with Thee from the
suggestions of the Evil Ones.
PICKTHAL:
And say: My Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from suggestions of
the evil ones,
SHAKIR:
And say: O my Lord! I seek refuge in Thee from the evil
suggestions of the Shaitans;
023.098
YUSUFALI:
"And I seek refuge with Thee O my Lord! lest they should come
near me."
PICKTHAL:
And I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, lest they be present with
me,
SHAKIR:
And I seek refuge in Thee! O my Lord! from their
presence.
023.099
YUSUFALI:
(In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death comes to one of
them, he says: "O my Lord! send me back (to life),-
PICKTHAL:
Until, when death cometh unto one of them, he saith: My Lord!
Send me back,
SHAKIR:
Until when death overtakes one of them, he says: Send me
back, my Lord, send me back;
023.100
YUSUFALI:
"In order that I may work righteousness in the things I
neglected." - "By no means! It is but a word he says."- Before them is a
Partition till the Day they are raised up.
PICKTHAL:
That I may do right in that which I have left behind! But nay!
It is but a word that he speaketh; and behind them is a barrier until the
day when they are raised.
SHAKIR:
Haply I may do good in that which I have left. By no
means! it is a (mere) word that he speaks; and before them
is a barrier until the day they are raised.
023.101
YUSUFALI:
Then when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no more
relationships between them that Day, nor will one ask after another!
PICKTHAL:
And when the trumpet is blown there will be no kinship among
them that day, nor will they ask of one another.
SHAKIR:
So when the trumpet is blown, there shall be no ties of
relationship between them on that day, nor shall they ask of
each other.
023.102
YUSUFALI:
Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy,- they will
attain salvation:
PICKTHAL:
Then those whose scales are heavy, they are the successful.
SHAKIR:
Then as for him whose good deeds are preponderant,
these are the successful.
023.103
YUSUFALI:
But those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost
their souls, in Hell will they abide.
PICKTHAL:
And those whose scales are light are those who lose their
souls, in hell abiding.
SHAKIR:
And as for him whose good deeds are light, these are
they who shall have lost their souls, abiding in hell
023.104
YUSUFALI:
The Fire will burn their faces, and they will therein grin,
with their lips displaced.
PICKTHAL:
The fire burneth their faces, and they are glum therein.
SHAKIR:
The fire shall scorch their faces, and they therein
shall be in severe affliction.
023.105
YUSUFALI:
"Were not My Signs rehearsed to you, and ye did but treat them
as falsehood?"
PICKTHAL:
(It will be said): Were not My revelations recited unto you,
and then ye used to deny them?
SHAKIR:
Were not My communications recited to you? But you used
to reject them.
023.106
YUSUFALI:
They will say: "our Lord! Our misfortune overwhelmed us, and
we became a people astray!
PICKTHAL:
They will say: Our Lord! Our evil fortune conquered us, and we
were erring folk.
SHAKIR:
They shall say: O our Lord! our adversity overcame us
and we were an erring people:
023.107
YUSUFALI:
"Our Lord! bring us out of this: if ever we return (to Evil),
then shall we be wrong-doers indeed!"
PICKTHAL:
Our Lord! Oh, bring us forth from hence! If we return (to
evil) then indeed we shall be wrong-doers.
SHAKIR:
O our Lord! Take us out of it; then if we return (to
evil) surely we shall be unjust.
023.108
YUSUFALI:
He will say: "Be ye driven into it (with ignominy)! And speak
ye not to Me!
PICKTHAL:
He saith: Begone therein, and speak not unto Me.
SHAKIR:
He shall say: Go away into it and speak nat to Me;
023.109
YUSUFALI:
"A part of My servants there was, who used to pray 'our Lord!
we believe; then do Thou forgive us, and have mercy upon us: For Thou art
the Best of those who show mercy!"
PICKTHAL:
Lo! there was a party of My slaves who said: Our Lord! We
believe, therefor forgive us and have mercy on us for Thou art Best of all
who show mercy;
SHAKIR:
Surely there was a party of My servants who said: O OUI
. Lord! we believe, so do Thou forgive us and have mercy on
us, and Thou art the best of the Merciful ones.
023.110
YUSUFALI:
"But ye treated them with ridicule, so much so that (ridicule
of) them made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them!
PICKTHAL:
But ye chose them for a laughing-stock until they caused you
to forget remembrance of Me, while ye laughed at them.
SHAKIR:
But you took them for a mockery until they made you
forget My remembrance and you used to laugh at them.
023.111
YUSUFALI:
"I have rewarded them this Day for their patience and
constancy: they are indeed the ones that have achieved Bliss..."
PICKTHAL:
Lo! I have rewarded them this day forasmuch as they were
steadfast in that they, even they, are the triumphant.
SHAKIR:
Surely I have rewarded them this day because they were
patient, that they are the achievers.
023.112
YUSUFALI:
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?"
PICKTHAL:
He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth, counting by
years?
SHAKIR:
He will say: How many years did you tarry in the earth?
023.113
YUSUFALI:
They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask
those who keep account."
PICKTHAL:
They will say: We tarried by a day or part of a day. Ask of
those who keep count!
SHAKIR:
They will say: We tarried a day or part of a day, but
ask those who keep account.
023.114
YUSUFALI:
He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little,- if ye had only
known!
PICKTHAL:
He will say: Ye tarried but a little if ye only knew.
SHAKIR:
He will say: You did tarry but a little-- had you but
known (it):
023.115
YUSUFALI:
"Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that
ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?"
PICKTHAL:
Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye
would not be returned unto Us?
SHAKIR:
What! did you then think that We had created you in
vain and that you shall not be returned to Us?
023.116
YUSUFALI:
Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality: there is no
god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour!
PICKTHAL:
Now Allah be Exalted, the True King! There is no Allah save Him,
the Lord of the Throne of Grace.
SHAKIR:
So exalted be Allah, the True King; no god is there but
He, the Lord of the honorable dominion.
023.117
YUSUFALI:
If anyone invokes, besides Allah, Any other god, he has no
authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! and
verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through!
PICKTHAL:
He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no
proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will
not be successful.
SHAKIR:
And whoever invokes with Allah another god-- he has no
proof of this-- his reckoning is only with his Lord; surely
the unbelievers shall not be successful.
023.118
YUSUFALI:
So say: "O my Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and mercy for Thou
art the Best of those who show mercy!"
PICKTHAL:
And (O Muhammad) say: My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for
Thou art Best of all who show mercy.
SHAKIR:
And say: O my Lord! forgive and have mercy, and Thou
art the best of the Merciful ones.
