Ali Unal 43:1

2

By the Book clear in itself and clearly showing the truth,

Ali Unal 43:2

3

We have made it a Recitation (a Qur’an) in Arabic so that you may reason (and understand it and the wisdom in its revelation).

Ali Unal 43:3

4

Surely it is in the Mother Book with Us, exalted, firm and decisive.

Ali Unal 43:4

5

Shall We take away this Reminder from you (and leave you to your own devices), because you are a people wasteful (of your God-given faculties and committing excesses)?

Ali Unal 43:5

6

How many a Prophet have We sent to convey Our Message among the former peoples,

Ali Unal 43:6

7

And there never came to them a Prophet but they mocked him.

Ali Unal 43:7

8

So We destroyed peoples mightier than these in prowess, and the illustrative histories of those (destroyed peoples) have already have been related.

Ali Unal 43:8

9

If you ask them who has created the heavens and the earth, they most certainly say (in answer), "The One All-Glorious with irresistible might, the All-Knowing, has created them;"

Ali Unal 43:9

10

He Who has made the earth a cradle for you, and has set on it roads for you so that you may find your way.

Ali Unal 43:10

11

And Who sends down water from the sky in a measure, and We raise a dead land to life with it. Even so will you be (raised from the dead and) brought forth (from your graves).

Ali Unal 43:11

12

And Who has created all the pairs (of all things), and has enabled for you ships and cattle on which you ride,

Ali Unal 43:12

13

So that you sit secure on their backs, then remember and reflect on the favor of your Lord, and when you settle securely on them, say: "All-Glorified is He Who has subjugated this to our use. We were never capable (of accomplishing this by ourselves).

Ali Unal 43:13

14

And surely, to our Lord we are indeed bound to return.

Ali Unal 43:14

15

Yet they attribute to Him (fatherhood of) some among His servants. Human is indeed ungrateful, obviously.

Ali Unal 43:15

16

What! has He taken to Himself daughters out of all that He creates, and "honored" you with sons?

Ali Unal 43:16

17

When any of them is given the news of the birth of what he accepts as appropriate for the All-Merciful, his face darkens, choking with anger.

Ali Unal 43:17

18

What! (Am I to have a daughter –) one who is brought up in adornments, and unable to be clear in disputation?

Ali Unal 43:18

19

And yet they have judged the angels, who are themselves the servants of the All-Merciful, to be females (whom they judge to be of little value, and yet regard as His daughters). Did they witness their creation? This testimony of theirs will be recorded, and they will be called to account (for this falsehood in the Hereafter).

Ali Unal 43:19

20

They also say: "If the All-Merciful had so willed, we would not have worshipped them (our deities, including angels)." They have no knowledge whatever of that (the relationship of Divine Will and human will and actions). Indeed, they only judge and speak according to their own fancies and interests.

Ali Unal 43:20

21

Or did We give them a Book before this (Qur’an) and so they are holding fast to it (and worshipping their false deities by its authority)?

Ali Unal 43:21

22

Not at all! (Indeed, their only argument is that) they say: "We have found our forefathers following a certain religion, and we are led in their footsteps."

Ali Unal 43:22

23

In just that way, We never sent a warner to a township before you but those of its people who had been lost in the pursuit of pleasures without scruples reacted, saying: "We have found our forefathers following a religion, and we certainly follow in their footsteps."

Ali Unal 43:23

24

He (who was sent to warn them) said: "What! even though I have come to you with better guidance than what you have found your forefathers following?" They said: "Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you have been sent."

Ali Unal 43:24

25

So then We took Our retribution on them. So look: how was the outcome for those who denied (God’s Messengers)?

Ali Unal 43:25

26

And (remember) when Abraham (who rejected following the way of his forefathers blindly) said to his father and his people: "I am indeed free of all that you worship.

Ali Unal 43:26

27

I worship only Him Who has originated me with a particular nature, and He will guide me (to the truth and to eternal happiness).

Ali Unal 43:27

28

And He left it as a Word to endure among those who would come after him, so that they may return (from worshipping false deities to the worship of One God).

Ali Unal 43:28

29

Indeed I have allowed these (people of Makkah), as I had allowed their forefathers, to enjoy their lives until when the truth and a Messenger came to them, making the truth clear, (and embodying it in every element of his life and character).

Ali Unal 43:29

30

But now the truth has come to them, they say: "This is sorcery and we are unbelievers in it."

Ali Unal 43:30
