Sūra 35: Fāṭir, or The Originator or Creation; or Malāïka, the Angels

Section 3 (15-26)


15. Ya ayyuha alnnasu antumu alfuqarao ila Allahi waAllahu huwa alghaniyyu alhameedu

15. O ye men! It is ye that have need of Allah. but Allah is the One Free of all wants, worthy of all praise.


16. In yasha/ yuthhibkum waya/ti bikhalqin jadeedin

16. If He so pleased, He could blot you out and bring in a New Creation.


17. Wama thalika AAala Allahi biAAazeezin

17. Nor is that (at all) difficult for Allah.


18. Wala taziru waziratun wizra okhra wa-in tadAAu muthqalatun ila himliha la yuhmal minhu shay-on walaw kana tha qurba innama tunthiru allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi waaqamoo alssalata waman tazakka fa-innama yatazakka linafsihi wa-ila Allahi almaseeru

18. Nor can a bearer of burdens bear another's burdens if one heavily laden should call another to (bear) his load. Not the least portion of it can be carried (by the other). Even though he be nearly related. Thou canst but admonish such as fear their Lord unseen and establish regular Prayer. And whoever purifies himself does so for the benefit of his own soul; and the destination (of all) is to Allah.


19. Wama yastawee al-aAAma waalbaseeru

19. The blind and the seeing are not alike;


20. Wala alththulumatu wala alnnooru

20. Nor are the depths of Darkness and the Light;


21. Wala alththillu wala alharooru

21. Nor are the (chilly) shade and the (genial) heat of the sun:


22. Wama yastawee al-ahyao wala al-amwatu inna Allaha yusmiAAu man yashao wama anta bimusmiAAin man fee alquboori

22. Nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead. Allah can make any that He wills to hear; but thou canst not make those to hear who are (buried) in graves.


23. In anta illa natheerun

23. Thou art no other than a warner.


24. Inna arsalnaka bialhaqqi basheeran wanatheeran wa-in min ommatin illa khala feeha natheerun

24. Verily We have sent thee in truth, as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a warner: and there never was a people, without a warner having lived among them (in the past).


25. Wa-in yukaththibooka faqad kaththaba allatheena min qablihim jaat-hum rusuluhum bialbayyinati wabialzzuburi wabialkitabi almuneeri

25. And if they reject thee, so did their predecessors, to whom came their apostles with Clear Signs, Books of dark prophecies, and the Book of Enlightenment.


26. Thumma akhathtu allatheena kafaroo fakayfa kana nakeeri

26. In the end did I punish those who rejected Faith: and how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)!
