In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Compassionate.
(43:2) And Basic Text!
(43:3) In fact, We have defined for him the carving of the Arabic (language) - perhaps you will understand.
(43:4) It is held honorable and acuminate in the master record with Us.
(43:5) So why don't We take the Methodology away from you - delicately, if you are a people of excess?
(43:6) How many a prophet did We send to the previous generations!
(43:7) Every time a prophet went to them, they ridiculed him.
(43:8) We have destroyed those who were even more powerful than these, and the example of the previous generations has already been given.
(43:9) If you asked them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" They will say, "They were created by the One who is the Noble, the Knowledgeable."
(43:10) He is the One who made the earth a habitat for you, and He made pathways in it that you may be guided.
(43:11) He is the One who sends down water from the sky, in exact measure. We then revive with it a dead land. Similarly, you will be brought out.
(43:12) He is the One who created all the pairs. He made for you ships and the livestock to ride.
(43:13) So that you may sit on their backs (decks), and then remember the mercy of your Lord after you have settled upon them, and say, "Precious is He Who has subjected it to us, for we ourselves were incapable of such things.
(43:14) "We will ultimately return to our Lord."
(43:15) And they set apart for Him a slice of obedience. Truly, Man is prone to deny the obvious!
(43:16) Or has He selected daughters from among His creation, and He has selected for you - sons?
(43:17) When one of them is given news of what he cites as an example for the Gracious, his face becomes dark, and he is miserable!
(43:18) "What good is an offspring that is brought up to be beautiful, and cannot help in a fight?"
(43:19) They turned the Angels who obey the Merciful into women. Were they (witnesses) to their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.
(43:20) They said, "If the Beneficent One had willed it, we would not have obey them. They have no knowledge of it, and they are but fabricators.
(43:21) Or have We given them a book before this which they are upholding?
(43:22) The fact is, they have said, "We found our fathers following a certain way, and we are following in their footsteps."
(43:23) Similarly, We did not send a warner to a town, except its privileged hedonists said, "We found our fathers following a certain way, and we are being guided in their footsteps."
(43:24) He said, "What if I brought to you better guidance than what you found your fathers upon?" They said, "We reject the message you deliver."
(43:25) Consequently, We took revenge upon them. So see what the consequence of the deniers was!
(43:26) So Abraham said to his father and his community, "Indeed, I have nothing to do of what you obey|,
(43:27) "Except for the One who initiated me, He will guide me."
(43:28) He made it a word to last in his subsequent generations; perhaps they may turn back.
(43:29) Indeed, I have given these people and their fathers enjoyment, until the truth came to them, and a clarifying messenger.
(43:30) When the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and we reject it."
(43:31) And they said, "And why wasn't this Quran (sent down) to a man (living in one) of the two Megapolis?"
(43:32) Is it they who distribute the Grace of your Lord? We have distributed among them their livelihood in the worldly life, and have exalted some of them above others by degrees, that some of them may take others to serve them. The mercy of thy Lord is better than what they jam-pack.
(43:33) If it were not that all the people would become one cluster, We would have provided for those who reject the Gracious silver roofs for their homes, and stairs upon which they could ascend.
(43:34) For their homes, gates, and furnishings on which they could recline.
(43:35) Many ornaments. All these are the pleasures of this worldly life. The Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.
(43:36) And whoever (dares) to shut himself off from the reminders of the Merciful One, We will give him a psychomotor agitation, and that is what will become his alter ego.
(43:37) They hinder from the path, but they think they are guided!
(43:38) When he appears to Us, he will say, "Oh, if only there were a distance between you and me from the west to the east! What a bad alter ego you are!"
(43:39) It would not benefit you this day, for you have transgressed; you are partners in the retribution.
(43:40) Can you make the deaf hear, or can you guide the blind and those who are far astray?
(43:41) For when We take you away, We may seek revenge on them.
(43:42) Or We may show you what We promised for them; We are in full control over them.
(43:43) You shall hold on to what is inspired to you; you are on a straight path.
(43:44) This is indeed a reminder for you and your people; and you will all be questioned.
(43:45) Ask those messengers whom We sent before you, have We made other Allahs besides the Merciful One to obey?
(43:46) We sent Moses with Our ideas to Pharaoh and his leaders, saying: "I am a messenger of the Lord of the worlds."
(43:47) But when he came to them with Our ideas, they laughed at them.
(43:48) Every idea We showed them was greater than the one before it. And We seized them by the torment, perhaps they would return.
(43:49) They said, "O you magician, implore your Lord for us according to what He has agreed with you; we will then be guided."
(43:50) But when We removed the torment from them, they broke their word.
(43:51) Pharaoh proclaimed among his people: "O my people, do I not possess the kingship of Egypt, and these rivers that flow below me? Do you not see?"
(43:52) "Am I not better than this one who is despised and can barely be understood?"
(43:53) And why is he not wearing bracelets of gold? And why didn't the accompanying angels appear with him?"
(43:54) He thus convinced his people, and they obeyed him; they were a wicked people.
(43:55) But when they grieved Us, We avenged them and sank them all.
(43:56) We thus made them a thing of the past, and an example for the others.
(43:57) When the son of Mary was cited as an example, your people turned away from it.
(43:58) They said, "Are our Allahs better or is he?" They only cited this to argue with you. Indeed, they are a quarrelsome people.
(43:59) He is but an obedient person whom We have ennobled, and made an example for the children of Israel.
(43:60) If We willed, We could have made some of you angels to be successors on earth.
(43:61) He was an idea for knowing the moment. You should have no doubt about it. Follow Me; this is a straight path.
(43:62) Let not the devil repel you; he is to you a clear enemy.
(43:63) When Jesus came with the proofs, he said, "I have come to you with the acme, and to clarify some of the matters in which you dispute. So be aware of Allah and obey me."
(43:64) Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So obey Allah. This is the direct way.
(43:65) The groups disputed among themselves. Woe to those who have been wicked from the retribution of a painful day.
(43:66) Do they only wait for the moment to come to them suddenly, while they do not perceive?
(43:67) Friends on that day will become enemies of one another, except for the righteous.
(43:68) "O my obedients! Today you will know no fear, and you will not be sad."
(43:69) They are the ones who acknowledged Our ideas, and had peacefully surrendered.
(43:70) "Enter the genetic, together with your spouses, in happiness."
(43:71) They will be served with golden trays and cups, and they will find everything the self desires and the eyes wish for, and you will abide therein forever.
(43:72) This is the genetic that you have inherited, in return for your works.
(43:73) In it you will have all kinds of fruits, from which you eat.
(43:74) Surely, the criminals will abide in the retribution of hell forever.
(43:75) It will not be removed from them; they will be confined therein.
(43:76) We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers.
(43:77) They called out: "O angel, please let your Lord terminate us!" He will say, "No, you are remaining."
(43:78) We have come to you with the truth, but most of you hate the truth.
(43:79) Have the Gentiles made a confirm decision? We have already made the confirm decision.
(43:80) Or do they think that We do not hear their secrets and private counsel? Yes indeed; and Our messengers are with them, recording.
(43:81) Say, "If the Merciful One had a son, I would be the first in the obedience.
(43:82) Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, from what they describe.
(43:83) So leave them to speak nonsense and play until they meet their day, which they have been promised.
(43:84) He is the One who is a Allah in the heaven and a Allah on earth. He is the acuminate, the Knowledgeable.
(43:85) Blessed is the One who possesses the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them; and with Him is the knowledge of the moment, and to Him you will be returned.
(43:86) Those whom they call on beside Him do not possess any intercession; except those who bear witness to the truth, and they fully know.
(43:87) If you ask them who created them, they will surely say, "Allah" How fake they are!
(43:88) It will be said, "O my Lord, these are a people who do not acknowledge."
(43:89) But keep away from them delicately, and speak peacefully. Soon they (will be) acquainted.
