1

Blessed and Supreme is He Who sends down the Criterion in parts on His servant so that he may be a warner to all conscious beings (against the consequences of misguidance).

Ali Unal 25:1

2

He to Whom belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and He has taken to Himself no child, nor has He any partner (in His dominion or any aspect of His being God), and He creates everything and determines its destiny.

Ali Unal 25:2

3

Yet some choose to take, apart from God, deities that create nothing but are themselves created, and have no power to avert harm from, or bring benefit to, even themselves (so that they can give harm or bring benefit to their worshippers), and they have no power over death, nor over life, nor over resurrection.

Ali Unal 25:3

4

Those who disbelieve say: "This (Qur’an) is but a fabrication which he (Muhammad) himself has invented, and some others have helped him with it, so they have produced a wrong and a falsehood."

Ali Unal 25:4

5

They also say: "(It consists of) only fables of the ancients which he has got written. They are being read to him in early mornings and evenings (while people are at home)."

Ali Unal 25:5

6

Say: "(It is a Book full of knowledge revealing many secrets such as no human being could in any wise discover by himself:) He Who knows all the secrets contained in the heavens and the earth sends it down (to teach you some of these secrets and guide you in your life so that you may attain happiness in both worlds). He surely is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate."

Ali Unal 25:6

7

Again, they say: "What sort of Messenger is this? He eats food and goes about in market-places (like any other mortal). Why is an angel not sent down to him so that he may act as a warner in his company (and help him to persuade the people)?"

Ali Unal 25:7

8

Or: "Why is a treasure not cast down upon him from the heaven (so that he should no longer need to go about in market-places to earn a living)?" Or: "Why does he not have a garden (granted to him miraculously) to obtain his food from?" And so these wrongdoers say (to the believers): "You are following only a man bewitched!"

Ali Unal 25:8

9

See how strangely they invent comparisons about you. They have so strayed and are no longer able to find a way (to the truth). excuse

Ali Unal 25:9

10

Blessed and Supreme is He Who, if He wills, can grant you (O Messenger) better than all that (they propose): gardens through which rivers flow, and grant you palaces.

Ali Unal 25:10

11

But they deny the Last Hour (and this is why they invent such pretexts for their denial of your call. However,) We have prepared a Blaze for whoever denies the Last Hour.

Ali Unal 25:11

12

When the Blaze sees them (even) from a far-off place, they will hear it raging and roaring.

Ali Unal 25:12

13

And when they are flung, chained together, into a narrow place in it, they will pray there for extinction.

Ali Unal 25:13

14

(They will then be told) "Today, you will not pray to die only once, instead, you will pray to die many times, (but it will be of no avail)."

Ali Unal 25:14

15

Say (O Messenger): "Is this or is the Garden of life everlasting, which has been promised to the God-revering, pious, better to prefer?" It will be for them a reward and a final destination.

Ali Unal 25:15

16

For them there will be therein all that they desire, themselves abiding (in it). This is a promise which your Lord has bound Himself to fulfill.

Ali Unal 25:16

17

A Day (will come) when God will gather them together (all the unbelievers) and all those whom they worship (apart from God: angels, Prophets, saints, and others, and idols), and He will ask them: "Was it you who led these servants of Mine astray or did they themselves stray away from the right way?"

Ali Unal 25:17

18

They will say: "All-Glorified You are! It was not for us to take for friends other than You (so they had no right to take us as such and make us objects of their worship). But (the truth is that, out of Your grace) You lavished on them and their forefathers ease in life, but they (being ungrateful) forgot all remembrance of You (and paid no heed to the warning Message Your Messengers brought to them). They were people (corrupt and) doomed to perdition."

Ali Unal 25:18

19

(God will say:) "So they have denied you (who falsely worship them) in all that you assert regarding them, and you can neither ward off (your due punishment) nor obtain any help (from those you falsely deified and worshipped while in the world)." (O people!) Whoever commits the greatest wrong (by associating partners with God), We will cause him to taste a great punishment.

Ali Unal 25:19

20

(O Messenger!) We never sent any Messengers before you but they surely ate food and went about in the market-places (to meet their needs). We cause you (O humankind) to be a means of testing for one another. Will you show good patience and perseverance (in the face of Our decrees and remain steadfast in Our way)? Your Lord is All-Seeing.

Ali Unal 25:20

21

Those who (being unbelievers) do not expect to meet Us (in the Hereafter) say: "Why are no angels sent down on us or (why) do we not see our Lord?" Assuredly they are far too arrogant of themselves (demanding what is impossible for them), and exceed all bounds (in their presumption).

Ali Unal 25:21

22

The Day when they see the angels – there will be no good tidings on that Day for the disbelieving criminals, and they will cry out to the angels in fear: "Keep away, away from us!"

Ali Unal 25:22

23

And We will turn to deal with all the (supposedly good) deeds that they did (in the world), and will reduce them all to dust particles scattered about.

Ali Unal 25:23

24

Whereas the companions of Paradise will, on that Day, have appointed for them the best abode and the fairest place of repose.

Ali Unal 25:24

25

On that Day the heaven will split asunder with the clouds (covering it) and the angels will be made to descend in a majestic descending.

Ali Unal 25:25

26

The sovereignty on that Day will absolutely and belong to the All-Merciful, (which He will exercise then with no intermediary veil of cause and effect). It will be a hard day for the unbelievers.

Ali Unal 25:26

27

On that Day the wrongdoer will bite at his hands, saying (with remorse) "Oh, would that I had taken a way in the company of the Messenger.

Ali Unal 25:27

28

Oh, woe is me! Would that I had not taken so-and-so for a friend!

Ali Unal 25:28

29

Indeed, he led me astray from the Reminder (the Qur’an) once it had come to me. Satan has proved to be a betrayer of humankind.

Ali Unal 25:29

30

And the Messenger says: "My Lord! Surely my people have made this Qur’an something worthy of no attention."

Ali Unal 25:30
